[00:01:35] But before we get into it, and yeah, we're going to hit a few news items.

[00:01:41] But one of the big things we're going to talk about today is heaven and hell.

[00:05:19] Right. So go and check out the world of ready book one go bags at Amazon dot com.

[00:05:26] OK, so a few news items first.

[00:05:30] Right. Some big things made the news this week.

[00:05:34] And what we what we consider big mainstream media consider of insignificance.

[00:05:41] Right. But the big thing that to me, that made the news this week was the fact that, you know, there was that Ukrainian attack on, you know, on the Russian Russian radar installation.

[00:06:05] And that's a big deal.

[00:06:08] It's a really big deal. And I'm just going to read a little bit of this article from the most important news.

[00:06:14] It's been on other platforms as well.

[00:06:16] It was a side over at zero hedge as well.

[00:06:19] But I'm going to read this one, this article to you.

[00:06:23] And, you know, I think that we're we're sleepwalking into a very day.

[00:06:28] You know, well, we've discussed it here many times on the strange truth, but we're kind of sleepwalking into a nuclear exchange of some sort.

[00:06:36] And this is a really serious one.

[00:06:38] And as I read to you, you'll you'll see how just crazy this whole thing was.

[00:06:45] So it says Western media being strangely quiet about an incident in Russia that could have sparked a nuclear exchange.

[00:06:53] One of Russia's most important early warning radar installations that was designed to track incoming nuclear missiles was destroyed on May 23rd.

[00:07:03] But the big corporate news outlets in the Western world are hardly saying anything about it.

[00:07:08] Without that installation, there is a giant hole in Russia's ability to track incoming missiles from the direction of the Middle East.

[00:07:17] So this is a really big deal.

[00:07:20] Doing during an all out nuclear war early warning radar installations would be among the very first targets.

[00:07:28] And Russians are telling us and the Russians are telling us that according to their nuclear protocols, the destruction of the arm of our radar station could have allowed them to conduct a nuclear strike in return.

[00:07:43] I'd read that again.

[00:07:45] And I'll read that again.

[00:07:46] Russians are telling us that according to their nuclear protocols, the destruction of the arm of our radar station could have allowed them to conduct a nuclear strike in return.

[00:07:58] Thankfully, that didn't happen.

[00:08:01] But this should have been front page news all over the world.

[00:08:06] And of course, a lot of this type of information is going to be suppressed by the Western media because I think you know that most of the Western media as we know it right is being controlled by, you know, it's being controlled by the different, you know, the different intelligence agencies.

[00:08:29] You know, so there's a lot of news, you know that that's going to be filtered right and stuff like this.

[00:08:35] It won't make the evening news really.

[00:08:37] But this is a very dangerous thing that just occurred here.

[00:08:41] It's being reported that the arm of our radar station in southern Russia was substantially damaged by Ukrainian drones on Thursday.

[00:08:49] Satellite imagery confirms a Russian strategic early warning radar site in the southwestern end of the country was substantially damaged in a reported Ukraine.

[00:08:58] And drone attack earlier this week.

[00:09:00] This looks to be the first of its kind attack on a site linked to Russia's general strategic defense.

[00:09:07] As such, it points to a new and worrisome dimension to the conflict, especially when it comes to the potential use of nuclear weapons.

[00:09:17] Now, if the Ukrainians did this without us knowing, that's bad.

[00:09:21] If the Ukrainians did this with us knowing that's bad.

[00:09:26] And I think that I can see the Russians probably weighing up those two options and trying to sort things out.

[00:09:32] But this would green light them really right to launch a nuclear attack because it's an attack on their nuclear warning systems.

[00:09:43] A satellite image was taken on May 23rd that the war zone obtained from Planet Labs of the Armavar radar station in Russia's southwest Krasnodar Krai shows significant debris around one of the sites to Voronezh DM radar buildings.

[00:10:06] These are high frequency UHF over the horizon OTH radars that are part of Russia's nuclear ballistic missile early warning system.

[00:10:18] And it says here, the arm of our radar station is highly advanced and in 2013 Russian President Vladimir Putin bragged that it could detect even the most inconspicuous target in fractions of a second.

[00:10:34] Detecting launches of various types of missiles hundreds and even thousands of kilometers from our borders.

[00:10:41] If someone hit an early warning radar installation in the US, all of our military officials would be really freaking out right now.

[00:10:49] But because this happened in Russia everyone is acting as if nothing of significance just happened.

[00:10:55] Of course the truth is that the Ukrainians were very foolish to attack this facility because we are being told that this attack was enough to meet the conditions of the Russian government laid out publicly

[00:11:07] in the 2020 actions that could trigger a nuclear retaliatory strike.

[00:11:13] Very dangerous game we're playing here.

[00:11:15] I know that you're hearing the rain.

[00:11:20] I've got a tin roof here and the rain is just coming down in sheets at this point.

[00:11:27] But I'm just going to keep on going with this podcast.

[00:11:33] I don't mind the rain, it's very soothing to me.

[00:11:38] And it's kind of cool.

[00:11:42] The other article I'm going to read to you is from the RT and it's saying Zelensky no longer a legitimate leader of Ukraine.

[00:11:50] Mr Putin is saying right.

[00:11:53] Let's see.

[00:11:57] The only legitimate authority in Ukraine is now the parliament, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday after Vladimir, after Vladimir, the two Vladimir's right after Vladimir Zelensky's official term as the country's head of state expired last week.

[00:12:16] Speaking at a press conference following a two day official visit to Uzbekistan, Putin stressed that there is no article in Ukraine's constitution that says anything about extending the powers of the president and suggested that a deep legal analysis of Zelensky's status should be carried out.

[00:12:37] Zelensky has argued that his powers as Ukraine's leader are extended due to the fact that the country is currently on a martial law and that no presidential elections can be held during wartime.

[00:12:49] However, Putin has noted that the Ukrainian constitution does not make any mention of presidential elections being suspended and only explicitly prohibits holding parliamentary elections, meaning that the term of the Ukrainian errata can be extended in such circumstances.

[00:13:07] So let's see.

[00:13:12] Putin argued citing Article 111 of the Ukrainian constitution that in light of this, the supreme presidential power should be transferred to the parliament speaker and the only legitimate authority in the country now belongs to the Verkhova errata, its legislator.

[00:13:31] Now, you can see that Mr. Putin is positioning himself to probably at this point now get rid of the Ukrainian government and I think that and this is why I think we are seeing the NATO allies are kind of freaking out in Europe and that is because after many, many years of lying to their own citizenry about the status of the war in Russia,

[00:14:00] you know that the reality of when people really read the news and realize that the Russians are still advancing in Ukraine, then, you know, then of course, you know what's really going on begins to get through all the noise here.

[00:14:17] And, you know, the Russians are advancing. The Ukrainians are falling back.

[00:14:23] You know, Mr. Putin is talking about using the current, you know, territory that the Russians gained as pretty much the new buffer zone or the new borders and which would mean then that he's saying that the Ukrainians have lost that territory pretty much.

[00:14:47] And this is a bad situation because the NATO allies are not going to go for that and they're talking about putting troops into Ukraine.

[00:15:04] And I think and I think that, you know, the more the Russians advance, the more there's going to be that type of talk. And the more they're going to be tempted to put actual troops on the ground.

[00:15:16] And when that occurs, then there is going to be massive scale war. And, you know, that's where all of this is going.

[00:15:26] So I think it was a massive miscalculation on the part of NATO. They miscalculated. And now we're in this mess.

[00:15:37] And I think that's why we're seeing we saw this attack on the missile station, right? You know, on the early warning. I'm not on the early warning radar site.

[00:15:50] I think that's why we saw this attack on the radar site. And it's they're just probing to see what they can get away with.

[00:15:59] And at some point, the Russians are going to say enough. And, you know, as if somebody had hit one of our radar stations here in the U.S., can you imagine how we would have reacted to that?

[00:16:11] All right. Okay. So just some think about but we just seem to be slow marching into war.

[00:16:22] Right. And, you know, just keep on prepping folks because it's just a matter of time, right? Just a matter of time before it all blows up.

[00:16:31] Okay. Okay. So let's switch gears here. Right.

[00:16:40] This is a subject that I kind of wanted to, you know, it fascinates me heaven and hell. Right.

[00:16:46] And it fascinates a lot of people. And, you know, the nature of this of this podcast is that we can really just chat about interesting topics.

[00:16:55] And one of these topics that I've really wanted to get into dig into for a long time is, you know, the topic of heaven and hell.

[00:17:02] And I found a really great article on coin in your house from coin in your house.

[00:17:07] And this is from an excerpt written by Chuck Missler and I'm going to read it here.

[00:17:12] So I give him all the credit for it. But one of the really great things about coin in your house, too, is, you know, just they want to get the word out.

[00:17:20] They want to spread the word out there as long as you you give them the right credit.

[00:17:25] Right. So, you know, I'm going to read about heaven and hell here and discuss it a little bit.

[00:17:33] But, you know, it's really interesting because we have all these conceptions of heaven and hell.

[00:17:39] And what I really want to wanted to talk about today or the information I want to really present was the Christians perception of heaven and hell.

[00:17:49] OK, so let's just read a little bit of the article here.

[00:17:56] Heaven and hell, author Chuck Missler. Right.

[00:18:00] And just read a little bit of this. What happens when we die?

[00:18:05] This is one of those all important questions.

[00:18:08] It's one that should keep us all awake until we know the answer.

[00:18:13] Is there life after death?

[00:18:16] Should we declare eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die or do our actions in this life have repercussions in our eternities?

[00:18:25] This subject of life after death is truly one of the toughest for many reasons.

[00:18:30] First, it's painful to get our arms around.

[00:18:34] It's a scary topic. One people love to brush away with trite cliches.

[00:18:40] Second, it has been plagued with many myths and superstition.

[00:18:44] Yet this topic is unquestionably the most important I've ever addressed.

[00:18:50] We like to kid around about death.

[00:18:52] A multitude of jokes begin with an accountant, engineer, lawyer died and reached the pearly gates.

[00:18:58] We find memes that say if I died and went to hell, it would take me a week to realize I wasn't at work anymore.

[00:19:06] Even with all our humor about the issue, most of us understand the seriousness of the matter.

[00:19:13] If the world continues as it has, we're all going to die one day.

[00:19:19] We will all pass through that veil and it's vital we understand what we'll face on the other side.

[00:19:26] What happens when we die? When we pass through that portal?

[00:19:30] What's the first thing we run into?

[00:19:33] Many people deny the existence of an afterlife.

[00:19:36] But we find that even skeptics wonder as they approach that final door.

[00:19:42] What is heaven like? Is there really a hell?

[00:19:45] We're used to the media's answers to these questions.

[00:19:49] The far-sighted comics show God winning Jeopardy or Satan and his cronies laughing at the notes in Hell's suggestion box.

[00:19:58] When Bugs Bunny and Sylvester the Cat die, they float up to a cloud with little angel wings and harps.

[00:20:06] When Bill and Ted go to Hell, they're chased by their worst nightmares.

[00:20:11] But to escape, they have to beat the Grim Reaper at games of Battleship, Clue and Twister.

[00:20:18] The media have their ideas about God, Satan, Heaven and Hell.

[00:20:23] It is interesting that the majority of American adults in our postmodern world continue to believe in life after death.

[00:20:31] Despite all the best efforts of the atheists and the humanists in our universities, people generally believe that we do have souls and they believe that a final judgement exists.

[00:20:46] According to the Pew Research Center 2014 religious landscape study, a full 72% of Americans from all manner of backgrounds believe in some form of heaven,

[00:20:58] defined as a place where people who have led good lives are eternally rewarded.

[00:21:04] Fewer are willing to believe in Hell.

[00:21:07] But 58%, nearly 3 fifths, still said they believe in a place where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished.

[00:21:19] Belief in Heaven and Hell isn't relegated to those from mainline religions.

[00:21:26] According to the Pew Research study, even among those with no particular religious viewpoint, 50% believed in a place of reward in the afterlife and more than 1 third, 36% believed in a place of punishment.

[00:21:42] Of course when people talk about Heaven and Hell they have their own ideas of what those places look like.

[00:21:49] They might agree on some kind of destination of eternal punishment or reward, but their versions of the afterlife can have nothing to do with what the Bible actually says.

[00:22:02] Even among those who believe in Hell, many regard it as a symbolic place.

[00:22:08] Some believe it is simply a state of eternal separation from God's presence.

[00:22:13] Very few see Hell as an actual prison of torment and suffering where souls go after death.

[00:22:20] Fewer than one person in 100 thinks he or she will end up there.

[00:22:26] The majority of Americans believe they will go to Heaven.

[00:22:31] There are handfuls of those who have no idea where they will go when they die and others who believe they will return as another life form.

[00:22:41] Many people are confused and have vague mixtures of beliefs.

[00:22:46] They've gleaned from a variety of religions.

[00:22:49] Another scattering of people believe they simply cease to exist after death.

[00:22:54] Their body goes into the ground and that's it, going to Heaven.

[00:22:59] Let's get something straight right here at the very beginning.

[00:23:04] The Bible is clear that there is both a Heaven and a Hell, and God wants everybody to go to Heaven.

[00:23:12] Did you know that? Peter and Ezekiel both tell us that God has no desire to punish us for our sins.

[00:23:19] He wants us to repent of our sins and be forgiven.

[00:23:23] That's what God wants. Listen to God's heart in the Old Testament.

[00:23:28] But if the wicked will turn from all his sins, and that he is committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right,

[00:23:39] he shall surely live, he shall not die.

[00:23:42] All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him.

[00:23:48] In his righteousness, that he hath done, he shall live.

[00:23:53] Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should return from his ways and live?

[00:24:02] Ezekiel 18, 21-23 verses 21-23.

[00:24:07] Near the end of the Bible, an elderly Peter explains that Christ's delay in returning has been an act of mercy, giving us all more time.

[00:24:18] Jude 1 verses 14-15 warns us that Christ's second coming will be a time of judgment against those who cling to ungodliness,

[00:24:31] and Peter lets us know that the Lord is putting it off for our sakes.

[00:24:37] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slattness, but is long-suffering towards us,

[00:24:44] not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

[00:24:49] 2 Peter 3 verses 9.

[00:25:04] Okay, just got my papers mixed up there a little bit.

[00:25:08] God wants us all to be saved.

[00:25:11] That's precisely why he sent Jesus to die for us.

[00:25:15] God sent his only begotten son to die for the sins of the world because he loves us, and wants to rescue us from our predicament.

[00:25:23] This is what Jesus tells us in the most famous passage in the entire Bible.

[00:25:41] One of the most surprising things we find in the Bible, however, is the God of eternity does not always get what he wants.

[00:25:59] God is all-powerful, mighty and holy, but in his majesty he has given us freedom to make our decisions even if we reject him.

[00:26:10] There will be those who refuse to turn from their wicked ways, who refuse to humble themselves before God of all creation.

[00:26:19] Those foolish individuals walk down our streets every day, and sin must be punished.

[00:26:26] If we do not accept Christ's death for our sins, we are stuck facing that punishment ourselves.

[00:26:32] Christ's sacrifice is the only way out of a hopeless situation.

[00:26:37] In the very next verses in John, Jesus says,

[00:26:40] Jesus says,

[00:26:41] He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

[00:26:53] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

[00:27:03] John chapter 3 verses 18 through 19

[00:27:08] Most Americans who believe in heaven also believe that they are going there.

[00:27:12] We hope they are right, but unfortunately many people have a completely incorrect idea about what it takes to get to heaven.

[00:27:20] We find that a large number of people think that being a good person is the requirement, and that's not what the Bible says.

[00:27:28] We cannot get to heaven by our good deeds, or by obeying the Ten Commandments, or because God loves everybody and would never send anybody to hell.

[00:27:38] These ideas are not biblical.

[00:27:41] Turning from sin is an important part of the process, and some of us have to do it every day.

[00:27:47] But it's Christ's blood that saves us.

[00:27:51] Read that again.

[00:27:52] But it's Christ's blood that saves us.

[00:27:55] Certainly God loves us. That's true, certainly.

[00:27:58] God is not willing that anybody should perish.

[00:28:01] However, because God loves us, He gave us a way to escape our just punishment, and we have a part to play in the deal.

[00:28:13] Paul tells us plainly that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth that the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

[00:28:30] I'll read that again.

[00:28:32] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

[00:28:52] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

[00:29:00] Romans 10, 9-11

[00:29:05] God sent his Son to make the payment for our sins, and our ticket lies in believing in Him, in repenting and believing in the work that He did on the cross for us.

[00:29:17] The work we do for Christ, we do because we love Him, and because we want to serve Him.

[00:29:24] We cannot work our way into heaven and woe to us if we try.

[00:29:29] On October 21, 2003, the Barna Group released their study.

[00:29:34] Americans described their views about life after death, according to the Barna study.

[00:29:39] The Americans of the early 21st century believed in heaven and hell even more strongly than those in the Pew Research study a decade later.

[00:29:47] In 2003, 76% of all Americans believed in some kind of heaven, but a full 71% believed in some kind of hell.

[00:29:59] However, even then fewer than 1% of those interviewed believed they themselves were heading for hell.

[00:30:06] The Barna study found that a large number of Americans believed that they were going to heaven, and 43% thought this was true because they had confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their saviour.

[00:30:20] That's nearly half, which is encouraging.

[00:30:23] However, those who recognized their need for Jesus as saviour also held a variety of contradictory beliefs.

[00:30:31] Among those who saw themselves as born again, 10% said they believed that people were reincarnated after death, while 29% claimed it was possible to communicate with the dead, and a full 50% agreed that a person could earn their salvation based on good works.

[00:30:50] On the other hand, we find that some self-described atheists and agnostics believe in an afterlife, and some even understand that heaven is attained by seeking forgiveness through Christ.

[00:31:03] They might not believe Jesus is alive or he is God, but they understand that if God does exist after all, Jesus is the means to salvation.

[00:31:12] It's clear that even in the United States, still considered by many to be a Christian country, there is a widespread problem with misinformation.

[00:31:26] Too many Americans, even those who believe in God and claim Jesus as their saviour, have failed to do their homework.

[00:31:34] They believe whatever feels most comfortable to them, according to what they like or want to believe, and not according to the word of God.

[00:31:44] This is an area of real concern. Whether there is a heaven or hell is an important issue to get right.

[00:31:51] There are questions we can't take lightly. It's vital to be certain we know how to get to heaven and how to avoid hell.

[00:31:59] And we shouldn't wait until we're on death's door to consider the matter in any depth.

[00:32:05] Any one of us can get hit by a truck tomorrow and have no further options.

[00:32:10] And he says, one of the important things that we have to cover is the importance of facing the truth.

[00:32:24] We have a serious problem with truth avoidance in our culture.

[00:32:28] We don't like to deal with painful or difficult realities.

[00:32:32] We'd rather watch television or hide down at a local tavern.

[00:32:36] This is a particular subject area in which willful ignorance is most dangerous, especially since it is impossible for us to remain ignorant forever.

[00:32:46] The truth will show itself to us in the end.

[00:32:49] And knowing what is will help us ensure that it lands in our favour.

[00:32:57] The truth has little to do with what feels good to us. It rarely has anything to do with what we prefer.

[00:33:05] The truth is what it is, whether we like it or not.

[00:33:12] Okay. Now, and you know that's Chuck Missler there, right?

[00:33:19] You know, I just want to end here with this.

[00:33:25] With these thoughts about heaven and hell.

[00:33:28] Many, many places in the Bible and Jesus, you know, with the parable of Lazarus, right?

[00:33:36] You remember, you know, Lazarus was at the rich man's gate, right?

[00:33:41] And, you know, the rich man went by him every day and Lazarus pretty much at the scraps.

[00:33:47] And one day Lazarus died and went to heaven, right?

[00:33:50] Went to Abraham's bosom. And, you know, Jesus told the parable, this parable, right?

[00:33:54] And this really, you know, a lot of people say this really shouldn't be called a parable because this is a true story and parables are stories.

[00:34:02] And a lot of times parables don't have people's names, right?

[00:34:05] These have names. These are real people, Lazarus, right? And the rich man.

[00:34:09] So we know Lazarus' name. So Lazarus went to Abraham's bosom, the rich man went to hell, and then the rich man, you know, and the rich man, right?

[00:34:17] You know, it's a really creepy story. And the rich man basically knew what was going on in heaven.

[00:34:23] So he was aware of heaven and he was suffering. And he asked, you know, he asked Abraham for, you know, just some water, just for the tip of his tongue.

[00:34:32] And the person said, I can't. Abraham said, there's a void between the two of us and I can't do it.

[00:34:37] Can't do that for you. Right. And then, you know, and then he said, hey, you know, could you send Lazarus back, you know, and so that he could warn my, you know, my relatives so they could avoid this place?

[00:34:51] And basically Abraham said, you know, well, you know, they have they have Moses, right? And the prophets, right?

[00:34:58] You know, they're not necessarily going to listen to one that come back from the dead. Right.

[00:35:03] And that was so true. So we see in that parable basically that in hell, right, the soul or the people, you know, you will if you go to hell, right?

[00:35:18] You will be you have awareness of where you are. You can feel right. You can you will be suffering, right?

[00:35:25] You know, if we end up in hell, we're going to be suffering. Right.

[00:35:29] And we'll we'll know what's going on in in heaven and we'll know what's going on on earth.

[00:35:38] Now, according to a lot of people, these are actual places. Right.

[00:35:45] I think a lot of folks believe and I know that, you know, Chuck Missler, right.

[00:35:51] You know, I quote him a lot, right, because he's a fantastic Bible teacher. Right.

[00:35:55] He he really believed that it was all geocentric, that these were actual places. Right.

[00:36:00] You know, where the bottomless pit. Right.

[00:36:02] And now he really thought that that meant, you know, the center of the earth where there's no up or down.

[00:36:07] Right. You know, you know, sideways or whatever. Right.

[00:36:10] It was a geocentric position.

[00:36:13] And these are actual places that you go and the only way to avoid it.

[00:36:18] Right. Is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord.

[00:36:22] There's no other way. Jesus himself said narrow is the way.

[00:36:25] Right. And, you know, I'm and there is the only one path right to heaven.

[00:36:32] And, you know, it strikes me, you know, this universalism that we practice in our society where, you know, a lot of people say, well, you know, we have these all these different ways to heaven.

[00:36:42] And if you're a Christian, you know, you have to believe you have to believe what the Bible says.

[00:36:47] Right. You have to believe that this is just not true.

[00:36:52] And we play with our eternities here. Right. Because, you know, that's the thing living here on earth.

[00:36:59] We're here on earth for a short period of time, short period of time, 80 years, short period of time.

[00:37:07] It's a long time in our, you know, in our time frame, but it's a short in, you know, when you hold that up to eternity.

[00:37:16] It's not even it's not even a whisper. Right.

[00:37:21] And we're all dealing with eternity here. And I know that a lot of people probably would listen to this and say, hey, you know, that that sounds really intolerant and everything else.

[00:37:30] But, you know, I to those people, I always say they are braver folks than me because I don't want to gamble with eternity.

[00:37:39] You know, you know, here you have the Bible saying basically this is a way to get a heaven.

[00:37:45] Take it and it's free. Right.

[00:37:50] You know, accept Jesus Christ as Lord. This is a way to get a heaven. Right.

[00:37:55] And then we have everything else says, hey, you know, if you follow this path, you can go to heaven.

[00:38:01] If you follow this path, you could get to God. If you follow this path and that path and all kinds of stuff. Right.

[00:38:06] No, that's in the Bible.

[00:38:10] The Bible didn't say, hey, if you follow all these other paths and then you'll get where you need to go.

[00:38:15] You know, and here's one of the things that authenticates the Bible to me.

[00:38:25] You know, yeah, Jesus authenticates the Bible because of him agreeing with a lot of the things that were written by earlier folks that contributed to the Bible.

[00:38:36] Of course. Right. So we have the great authenticator, Jesus Christ himself.

[00:38:40] And of course, all the other saints. Right. You know, but when you really look at when you look at what religions are the most persecuted right now in the world.

[00:38:56] Right. You know, in this world. Right.

[00:39:00] Right. Christianity and, you know, and and, you know, and and the Jewish religions are the most persecuted religions in the world right now.

[00:39:14] When you see what's going on down there in the Middle East and and the the Jews are fighting for their own, you know, for their own existence there.

[00:39:23] And now we have a world that is closing its mind, closing, you know, itself off from the tenets of Christianity in a lot of our churches.

[00:39:34] Now we have this we have this watered down on biblical type of Christianity that's being preached, which is very, very dangerous, by the way.

[00:39:42] And now we have, you know, and now. Right.

[00:39:47] You know, with this authenticates the Bible to me when and of course, when you look at history and what's going on right now.

[00:39:56] Right. And of course, the different, you know, the prophecies and everything else.

[00:40:00] And to me, it indicates that, you know, the Bible is a true document, a document that came from us from outside of time given to us by the entity, the person, the God that created right.

[00:40:15] The God that created the universe.

[00:40:18] And that God is saying, follow these steps and you will be with me forever.

[00:40:25] And and and you'll have your your great rewards if you don't follow the steps, then, you know, you end up in the bad place.

[00:40:34] Right. You know, hell is not a joke, folks.

[00:40:38] It's a real place. It's a real place.

[00:40:42] It's a real place and no one, you know, should want to end up there.

[00:40:48] But there's a lot of misinformation about what it is, how to get to heaven, how to get to hell.

[00:40:54] Right. And hopefully, right, this will get you to investigate these things in even in more depth than we can do here in twenty twenty five minutes.

[00:41:05] All right.

[00:41:08] All right. So I just wanted to touch on that.

[00:41:12] OK, you know, heaven and hell serious business, you know, lots of stories about heaven and hell and how to get there.

[00:41:21] You know, Jesus himself tells us that great story about Lazarus.

[00:41:26] You know, we know that children go to heaven if they die.

[00:41:30] Right. You know, children, you know, don't end up in hell.

[00:41:34] Right. And that's always really nice to know, you know, when David's son died, right, because of his sin with Bathsheba, David basically said, yeah, you know, when I when I die, I'll see my son again.

[00:41:44] You know, and that helps. It authenticates that. Right.

[00:41:47] A lot of people, you know, they say, well, what happens to children when they die and stuff like that?

[00:41:51] You know, we know that the children end up in heaven when they die.

[00:41:54] Right. We know that, you know, God, you know, God, God is merciful that way.

[00:42:00] Right. You know, so we need to take care of ourselves.

[00:42:04] Right. We need to make sure that we, you know, follow the right, the right steps to get there.

[00:42:13] And it's always a risk. Right.

[00:42:15] It's always a risk to believe that you can get to heaven by other means, you know, something that's more palatable.

[00:42:21] Right. OK.

[00:42:25] Anyway, so we covered a lot of ground here tonight on the strange truth.

[00:42:29] I really hope that everyone will have a great weekend. Right.

[00:42:33] You know, please stay tuned to be BN.

[00:42:35] And if you like what you hear, then please pass us around.

[00:42:38] I will be getting more in depth into heaven and hell and all these really great topics here that are just fascinating.

[00:42:46] Right. Fascinating. The Christians is fascinating subject matter.

[00:42:50] Right. So we'll get a lot more into it.

[00:42:53] But that's all I can do in 25 minutes.

[00:42:55] And, you know, enjoy your time and keep prepping folks.

[00:43:00] You know, in the beginning of this program, we talked a little bit about the attack.

[00:43:03] And of course, we didn't even mention how these people are trying to infiltrate our military bases.

[00:43:10] Right. You know, that's a big story.

[00:43:13] That's that that's breaking.

[00:43:15] You know, well, it's not really getting any out of play in the media.

[00:43:19] But we knew that there were those instances of, you know, foreign entities.

[00:43:25] Right. Or, you know, people trying to infiltrate our, you know, military bases and everything else.

[00:43:32] Right. So that's all going on.

[00:43:35] So the world is really unstable and we're playing a really dangerous game.

[00:43:39] And we have to make sure that we are on top of all of this information.

[00:43:44] And we use this information, you know, to provide stability in our lives.

[00:43:50] And that's what prepping is.

[00:43:51] Prepping is just is a way to provide that stability and to take away the anxiety out of our lives.

[00:43:56] And, you know, the other way is, you know, spiritually.

[00:44:01] Right. We have to spiritually prepare ourselves.

[00:44:04] OK. We have to make sure that we're informed properly.

[00:44:08] Now, you know, as a Christian.

[00:44:10] Right. And you know, you understand where I'm coming from.

[00:44:13] Right. You understand that I am all about making sure that you're you're getting your soul ready with God and that you, you know, and when you depart this life.
