Sam Rohrer:
Hello and welcome to this Thursday edition of Stand In the Gap Today. And the last Thursday program before Christmas today was to be another constitutional and American history focused program. I mentioned that earlier in the week with recurring guest constitutional attorney, David New. But unfortunately David has gotten quite sick and had to cancel a couple of days ago. So please pray for him that Lord would heal him. And I know that many of you listening may be sick as well or have family members because there seems to be so many things coming on people, various types of illnesses all across the country. So in a general sense, pray, and if I’d have names I’d mention them. But you pray for David because I know he’s one that was supposed to have been here today. But I’ve chosen since he’s not able to be to invite in investigative journalist, economist, and attorney.
And one of the most, I’m going to say current and productive writers on current events from a biblical perspective. That’s Michael Snyder. He’s got a website at the most important news.com, good site to visit, the most important news.com, and to use this end of a year and ending days of a Biden regime. And along with that, to take a quick look back, look around and look ahead at the leading events. The title I’ve chosen to frame today’s conversation is this, the state of the year’s end, a vortex impossible to ignore. So if said a number of things that will kind of build that out as we proceed in the program. With that, Michael, I want to welcome you to the program. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule. You are very busy in writing, really churning out a lot of good things. But anyway, thanks for being with me today.
Michael Snyder:
Oh, thank you so much for having me on today, Sam. There’s certainly a lot to talk about.
Sam Rohrer:
Yeah, there is indeed. And Michael, I’d like to, if we could kind of approach this discussion today more like from the big part of a funnel and going down and then we’ll narrow down and ultimately end up how to consider and how to respond to all the things we’ll talk about. But about three weeks ago you were with me on this program and on that day we considered one of the biggest issues of that week and we call it the crazed rush to war with Russia by the US slash NATO. They’re together deep state, that’s all kind of one in the same military establishment, the Biden regime, the western globalists, we’re all kind of in that together, that cabal. We talked about that then. And while that issue, Michael is further metastasizing and only grown other incredible events have come onto the world stage, including the fall of Damascus in Syria, which I’ve talked a lot about in this program that changes that are happening in Middle East as a result of that, but also this area of the deep state drone deception that the seemingly coming out of thin air, pardon the pun, but it now dominates the news, but not just here in the US but frankly around the world.
Any of these three items, war, Israel, the Middle East, drone invasion, any of those, if they were on the stage, Michael alone would be I think enormously significant. But when they put them together with many others, it’s almost like literally historic. So hence this is the why in part I chose to use that word vortex. My title today again, ladies and gentlemen, the state of the year’s end a vortex impossible to ignore. So Michael, if we could from a 10,000 foot level right now from this perspective, and you are watching and writing on a broad and most comprehensive view of everything, connecting dots, putting things together perhaps better than anybody that I know, but how would you describe where we are today from regarding the state of our years end and where I use the word vortex indicates a swirling windstorm of events and emotions. You might start there and however, but how would you describe where we are at this end coming to this conclusion of 2024 I
Michael Snyder:
Sam? I think the word that you use vortex is very good because it implies a violent storm, a shaking, I use the word chaos and I look back, I think it’s instructive to look back at the end of 2024 compared to where we are today. And in all the major themes that I was talking about that others were talking about in terms of being related to Bible prophecy, we’ve seen an intensification, we’ve seen a moving forward instead of things getting less intense, less chaotic. We’ve seen, especially toward the end of the year, which we talked about on the last program with the election of Donald Trump seemed to spark things in terms of war. And on the last program I was on, we talked about how okay, Joe Biden gave the green light for the long range missiles into Ukraine, an intensification of the conflict there and of our showdown with Russia.
And then you also look at that, then of course Syria. Now you mentioned Syria, you go back to 2014, even before that, during the Obama administration and under Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, they decided, well, hey, we’ve overthrown some of these other countries in the Middle East. Let’s overthrow the government of Syria. And so they started these protests and then there was a civil war backed by the west and Turkey and so forth. And at that time they were not successful. They created this horrible civil war and refugee crisis that kind of simmered for a long time. But Trump got elected and the Western elite were like, you know what? We want to overthrow Syria, we got to do it before Trump gets in. So they hurried up and they sent these guys in these Islamic radicals and they overthrew Syria and they did it.
And I think that was brought on by the election of Donald Trump. That’s my point. And now we’re facing a budget crisis, Sam, just within the last couple days where in Washington DC we’ve got these negotiations regarding this budget crisis. Now they’ve broken down this ridiculous bill over 1,500 pages long, absolutely packed with pork. And what the swamp is saying is we are not going anywhere. In fact, when Trump gets in, they fully intend to conduct business as usual in Congress. And so we’ve got a showdown in Washington DC because Trump is telling Republican lawmakers don’t back this bill. So we’ve got an intensification of political shaking as well. Sam. It’s a really, really troubling time. A time when things are accelerating, so many people aren’t paying attention because they’re focused on the holidays. But man, so much is going on right now.
Sam Rohrer:
I agree with you. It almost seems like, I mean to me clearly January 20th is a date certain kind of like the November 5th election. It was a date certain, so it tended to drive so many actions now that is driving because is it a date certain, but ladies and gentlemen dates have that kind of an impact and people are simply trying to align themselves to protect what they may have or to put themselves in a position where they can control. Again, think of that as we’re going and the world is actually doing that right now and that makes it rather historic. That sets the stage for where we are right now. It is a historic time. It’s a vortex of events that are happening both in volume and speed and when we come back, we’ll continue our discussion, Michael Snyder and I will, as we talk about a convergence of events really mostly beyond our control.
Well, as I consider the one word that I tend to favor more than any other to describe the events within America, the Middle East Israel, and even the broader global events and some of those things that Michael Snyder and I, my guest that’s with me today just referred to briefly in the last segment, we used the word vortex. There’s another word that I’d use and it’s the word convergence that means a coming together convergence is a coming together of various lines or inputs end up focusing on a single point, and I was trying to think about that in the best description I could get. It’s much like the human eye, which takes in light and images from all sides. And when that light focuses appropriately on the retina, a clear image is seen, comes into focus, and then the brain can interpret and the body appropriately respond.
It’s much like one would say the connecting of the dots, but as we all know, there are many things that can prevent the eye from seeing reality such as darkness. That’s one disease, things that prevent that focusing. But when we look at events around us, I’m going to suggest the darkness of deception, the rejection of truth in favor of feelings or perhaps embracing a worldview without God will all prevent the accurate connecting of the dots, the focusing and thereby preventing the perception of reality. But what’s the result of that? Well, it’s confusion, it’s frustration, it’s an inability to properly interpret and thereby respond. I think such are the days in which we live unless we view life through the lens of a biblical worldview and the filter of truth and biblical prophecy. And that’s what we try to do on this program every time we consider issues about us, and it’s for the reason I just mentioned Michael.
When you write your articles, you cover what is, in my opinion, a comprehensive range of significant issues that are in effect converging and producing the type of days the Bible foretells, which he says it will be days of confusion and lawlessness and deception and ultimately chaos. When I consider the larger issues, I’ve identified at least nine broad issues which are all big and are all moving, but I’m not going to state what I think right now. Could you identify at this point, just identify the broad areas that you are routinely addressing that are distinct by themselves, but you write about them because they’re all kind of moving?
Michael Snyder:
Yes, Sam, one of the things that I talked about at the end of last year was global food supplies and famine and we’re seeing the famine intensify in Eastern Africa, for example, where Reuters recently went to a camp there and women and children are dropping dead because they don’t have food to eat. Meanwhile, global food prices continue to rise. Egg prices in the stores have gone to completely insane levels, for example, here in the United States. And a big reason for that is another big theme which has developed over the past year with the bird flu. We’ve got the bird flu. The state of California just declared a state of emergency over the bird flu because the bird flu has been ripping through hundreds of dairy herds in the state of California and half of them within just the past 30 days. So we’ve seen a rapid intensification of the bird flu and dairy herds in cattle and at Los Angeles Times has reported piles of dead cattle on the sides of the highways there in rural parts of California because when it first started the bird flu in 2022, it was in the chickens and the turkeys.
It’s killed 123 million birds in the United States alone. Now it’s jumped into the dairy herds now into people where the first severe case of the bird flu confirmed in Louisiana yesterday here in the United States. And meanwhile, we’ve got other pandemics and health problems erupting in Africa and elsewhere around the world that we’re watching very closely. Meanwhile, we’ve got finance and economics where the Dow Jones Industrial average just had its longest losing streak since 19 74, 10 day losing streak. It’s trying to bounce back slightly today. It may not make it, but it’s kind of a shaking their economics. Four years of omics have been absolutely devastating. I just wrote this week that demand at food banks all over the country from coast to coast. I provided multitude of examples of this on my substack where we’re not just back to pandemic levels in terms of demand of food banks, but it’s record highs.
In fact, in some areas it’s four times higher than it was in the pandemic in New Jersey, four times higher. The demand of food banks is crazy. Of course wars and rumors of wars we talked about in the last segment, not just with Russia but in the Middle East with Syria and then China has set more ships and planes around Taiwan practicing for a blockade of Taiwan, and then North Korea is threatening to invade South Korea. The US is potentially facing several hotspots, several potential wars. As Donald Trump gets ready to take office, we’ve seen an intensification of wars that he’s going to have to face and deal with. We’ve seen crazy weather with the hurricanes. We saw two back-to-back catastrophic hurricanes here in the US in 2024. In fact, as of the beginning of November, we had seen 24 billion disasters in this country. That was as of the beginning of November, which still with two months to go, and we just had a magnitude 7.0 earthquake the largest in many years off the coast of California.
Every day there’s some type of major disaster from around the world, major natural disaster. But we’ve got so many things. Meanwhile, governmental shaking with the governments of France and Germany and Canada. It looks like Trudeau’s going to be forced to step down soon. So much with shaking with governments and the western elite, the global elite, the globalists are looking at all this and they’re deeply concerned. They got Trump coming in. They got the governments that are friendly to the governments being shaken. They’ve got all these problems all over the globe and the globalists are concerned. They want to take back control. I think we’re going to see conflict between Trump and the globalist and a struggle for control, not just in the US but all over the world in so many ways we see shaking Sam and that should deeply concern all of us.
Sam Rohrer:
And that’s a good word to use because that’s a biblical word. The shaking the words talks about a shaking and so it’s a good word that you use there. So convergence coming together, vortex a swirling, there’s a lot of things that are happening all at once. I guess here would be a question. The world looks at all of this and it just becomes more and more volume that tends to drive up people’s level of angst. They don’t have the Lord a lot of angst and confusion and that kind of thing, but for those with a biblical worldview, us those who fear God, when we witness all these things that are happening, just out of curiosity, how do you say we should respond or think about these things, these events that we’re seeing? Are they coincidental? Are they strategic? What do you say?
Michael Snyder:
Yeah, what I say is the world looks at so many of these things and says bad news, but as believers, we should look at all these things and say good news. Because ultimately what these events are telling us, the major theme is that we are getting closer to home, that we are getting closer to the time when we will be with Jesus forever and ever and ever. And that’s the end of our story. That’s our goal. That’s the end zone that we are shooting for. And so when we look, because this world is not our home, so we look forward to a future that is brighter than I even have words to describe. And so that should give us hope when these bad things happen. Jesus warned us of these times and these things that would happen so that we could have hope so that we could know that yeah, birth pains are around us, but at the end of the process we get the goal of our faith, which is our salvation. So it should bring us joy to see what’s happening in our world ultimately if things are tough in the short term, but we should also have hope and joy because we are moving toward the end of our story, which is exactly what we want. And so our hearts should be sometimes we grieve over things that happen in the short term, but ultimately the end goal is to be with Jesus forever and ever. And that’s what we’re headed for.
Sam Rohrer:
Michael. I assume that’s where you would go. I think that’s where true believers should go, but when I think that we have this discussion here, it’s appropriate. I think at the end of the year we’re in a Christmas season. I met with our life group that I’m watching, I’m a part of last night we were talking through and various members were sharing their key verses dealing with Christmas and coming of Christ verse coming last night. And one of them where we spent some time was where scripture talks at numerous places about in the fullness of time, in the fullness of time events happened, the first coming came and things take. But in the fullness of time, the events that we’re talking about now are taking place. And it just reminded me, ladies and gentlemen, that when we observe the events of human civilization, think of this, we observe what we see at this point in our short lives, but it really is one small piece in a much larger picture that’s now comprised about 6,000 years since creation.
And what is all of this all about? It’s not about us, it’s about him. It’s about Jesus Christ who is the theme and the focus of all of scripture. And so everything that we see falling out and coming about is a part of God’s plan being implemented. So the more we get on board God’s plan and what he says, the better we’re able to interpret and to look at what’s happening around us. So just that response, we’ll come back. We’re going to talk a little bit further into this discussion. Well, if you’re just joining us today, my special guest is Michael Snyder. He does a lot of writing. He’s with me fairly frequently, at least once a month generally on this program. He’s an economist, he’s an attorney by trade, but he’s done a lot of writing on the broader issues that are confronted not just economic, not just legal, but the broader issues that are confronting us and is very prolific in the writing.
And you can find most all of them at his website, the most important news.com, Michael. Okay. You mentioned a number of things. I asked you in the last segment to mention the broader categories, and you mentioned areas such as, for instance, food finance and economic. Talked about that. You talked about health, pandemics, bird, flute, that’s in there and some other things, wars, rumors of wars, we know that’s there. Weather, we could have gone much into depth on a lot of those to that I’d add communications, control of communications, the threat of cutting off communications, cyber attacks, all that has to do with communications rise of global government. I’d throw in there, ladies and gentlemen, the destruction of national sovereignty. That’s part of the deep state global efforts that we see that happening. And then underneath all of this is prophetical fulfillment because, and again, we’ve talked about that because it’s very difficult to accurately evaluate and consider bringing the focus, so to speak, what’s happening without looking through the lens of a biblical worldview and a biblical prophecy. So again, linking that in that fashion. Michael, just a quick without going into a lot of detail here, but just out of curiosity, you mentioned the number of events, the broader issues. I added a few more into it, but if you were to choose maybe the leading, if that’s possible, the leading issue that you are tracking that seems to perhaps embody what we are talking about, these leading things that are swirling about, what is that bigger issue that you’re looking at?
Michael Snyder:
Yeah, one of the key things that I’m watching right now is wars and rumors of wars. Jesus warned us, Matthew 24 wars and rumors of wars would be one of the things that characterizes the times that we are in. And over the past year, if you look over the past 12 months, nobody can deny that we’ve seen an intensification of wars and rumors of wars. So now Donald Trump is about to take office and he’s facing a situation in the Middle East, which is completely chaotic. He’s facing a situation with China over Taiwan, which could blow up at any time. But in particular, he’s good right away. And even now he’s talking about Ukraine and Russia. And the problem is that Trump says, well, I want to bring peace to Ukraine and Russia. But Ukraine is saying, look, if we’re going to have peace, we’re not going to allow Russia to just have all the territories that they’ve taken over.
That’s a non-starter for us. We are not going to say, okay, we’re going to have peace. And Russia just gets all these territories they’ve conquered. Of course the Russians are saying, no, you’ve got to acknowledge the reality on the ground. We’ve taken all this territory, we’re taking more every day. We’re not going to withdraw. So how does Trump bridge that gap? Also, the Ukrainians are saying, okay, if we’re going to have a ceasefire, if we’re going to end this conflict, we want a hundred thousand or something like that. Ukrainian, not Ukrainian, but NATO soldiers, we want NATO forces in the country to keep the Russians from coming back in and invading again. And the Russians are saying, look, no. One of the key points of contention at the very beginning of this was that we said, Ukraine must be neutral. There must be no NATO forces and no NATO missiles in Ukraine.
Of course now NATO missiles are not only inside Ukraine, but the long range missiles provided by NATO are being fired into Russia guided by NATO to their targets. And so the Russians are saying, look, NATO, you are now a direct participant in the war against us. We are at war with you. So that is one of the huge things that I’m watching. Sam also with pestilence, another term Jesus used in Matthew 24 where he said, pestilence multiple. So we’ve got all these that have erupted in Africa with the new strain of the monkeypox. We’ve got a Marburg virus in Rwanda, but this bird flu thing, experts are warning us. It could be very, very serious. Of course, we’ve seen interviews recently where people have openly talked about, Hey, when Donald Trump comes in, it’s going to be a time of another pandemic could be right upon us. And so I think pestilence sickness, and I know some people don’t want to hear this, we don’t want to see lockdowns again, we don’t want to see testing and masks and all the rest mandates, all the rest of the things we saw a few years ago. Nobody wants to go through that again. But this bird flu thing is very, very serious, Sam.
Sam Rohrer:
Well, it is. And again, ladies and gentlemen, I just want to put into that it’s not easy. It really is not easy. I don’t like to personally senses, I don’t like to identify these types of things that are being mentioned today. Michael’s just mentioned, but there’s two approaches to this. The world system, the controlled government, the deep state, however you want to put it, and all of that we talked about they love to highlight these things. But for what purpose? Well, the purpose is to create angst and fear and a dependence of people on well, anything other than God, right? Government and what somebody says. But on the other hand, Michael, what you were just saying, you cited a couple different times there, Matthew 24, because Jesus said, my people will understand that in the days in which we live, there will be great deception.
There will be an increase in wars and rumors of wars and then pestilence and earthquakes and a number of things that he states there. And that these things will, like a woman in labor, they will increase in frequency and intensity. So ladies and gentlemen, an alert person biblically will not cover their eyes and their ears, but neither will they become fearful and full of anxiety like the world is wanting them. We respond differently. Anyway, so I just mentioned that. So Michael, we are in a system here and because the Lord said these things would happen, the world is trying to create an attitude, a feeling that people have a sense for a particular purpose, but the Lord gives us another response for a separate purpose. What attitude is the world system and the devil trying to develop? And I’ve already kind of alluded to it here, but in these days through these issues in frequency and intensity, what is his goal here about which true believers need to be alert so as to avoid?
Michael Snyder:
Yeah, ultimately the global elite want control Sam and the primary instrument of that control, people think it’s governments, no, it’s their corporations that the elite control, which the corporations of course control what we watch on the news, our entertainment, the food we buy at the store. Many listeners today are employed. We’re dependent on our income, on our employment from these institutions, these giant corporations that they control. We want a mortgage from our home, we have to get it from them. So their corporations are the primary instrument of control that they use to control what we think, what we do, how we live our lives. And then ultimately, they also seek to control governments. But now their control over governments is being shaken in the western world, particularly with now Donald Trump coming to power. And so they hate Donald Trump because they don’t control Donald Trump, not because of what Donald Trump believes, but because they can’t control him.
And so we’re literally, but see, the elite have put in place the deep state, so many members of Congress, they control. So the globalists have created this entire system, which is they have dominated for such a long time. Now Donald Trump is coming to the head of that system in terms of the government of the United States and Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the others are coming in saying, we’re going to change. We’re going to turn things upside down. But the deep state and those already in place, they don’t want that. So we’re going to see a government literally at war with itself, a government in contention and struggling with itself, people already in place trying to sabotage what Donald Trump and Elon Musk and others are trying to do. And so it’s going to be a time of governmental turmoil. It’s going to be a time of struggle ultimately between the globalists and then the new Trump administration. And so that is going to add another layer to what we’re facing, Sam, because is a government that’s at war with itself, how is that going to function? Is it going to be able to even function effectively? Is it going to just add more chaos to the other areas that we’ve talked about? I mean, I think we definitely need to be in prayer for that in 2025 because people think Trump’s going to come in and everything’s going to go smoothly. No, in fact, I believe the opposite is going to be the case.
Sam Rohrer:
And that’s a good point and I’ve warned much against that for people. Everyone wants to be hopeful. But ladies and gentlemen, thinking about that, is there any hope outside Jesus Christ or the truth of God’s word? None that I know of God alone is hope. The hope of justice according to how God interprets it, there’s only one way that’s doing God’s will, God’s way. But when we’re in a circumstance where the system and people have said, no, God, we don’t want you, no God, we don’t want your 10 commandments. No God, we don’t want to even tell the truth. We want to lie because it’s more effective. All these things that we see, alright, that is the reality I believe, of where we are. But we have to understand that’s where we are. Our hope is not in any of those things. It must be in the Lord.
When we come back, we’ll try to bring some of these things to a conclusion and say, here’s the reality. That’s where we are. But the Bible says it’s what Jesus says. That’s what we’re seeing. Alright. How do we respond more fully and take advantage for the sake of the gospel here in these days? Well, as we enter our final segment here today, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being with us. Certainly it is so very important. We’re honored, truly honored that you are a part of this ministry and it’s really a wonderful thing. I run into people whenever I’m out and about. It’s amazing how many people I run into Dr. Isaac Crockett will be with me tomorrow, will be together on the program, will run into people all over who sees on TV or listen to the radio. Many of you send wonderful letters of how God has used this program.
Many of you text. It’s a wonderful thing and I just want to thank you as we come to the end of the year. We extend our love for others by giving gifts. I trust that all of us most appropriately understand and thank God for his great gift, which has made it all possible, his gift of salvation and what that does. So what we do here on the program is to take that change that comes with salvation, trusting in Christ and being born again and being part of God’s family. It should change our lives and should change the way we live. And we think, and part that’s what God’s called us to do on the program, to take those issues which impact all of our lives as we’re doing today, but bring a perspective to them that’s biblical. Not like the world brings things to us.
So can I just ask you that if God’s blessed you through this program many times this year, that you would take a moment and drop us a note, put it in the mail. You can do that. You can do it on our app. Just communicate to us that or on our website. Anyway, it’s fine. Let us know that you listen one. Number two, join with us and partner faithfully in prayer if you have not already done so. Thirdly, if you are able partner with us financially, this program depends a hundred percent on the gifts of people, you and others. And if or all of a sudden dry up, this program would be no more. That’s where it is. That’s where I leave it. It’s in God’s hands. And so we trust him for provision and he does it through you and others who are blessed by it.
Throughout the balance of this year, we’ve been added on about 30 radio stations across this country. Many of those a part of one of the networks that we are a part of. Many of you are listening, listening to us on CSN network as an example. Others have been added and other places we’ve been added and are now carried in Africa cover pretty much the entirety of Kenya and some other nations. And you can pray with us that God would help us to expand and they’re wanting to expand and take these programs, the weekend program, this program, the minute program and put it into the common language of Central Africa, which is Swahili. And it’s an amazing thing how people are responding to what we say here because biblical truth here apply to issues that you might think are just unique to America’s, not because the world is aware of everything that we’re talking about here and God is blessing through that so you can be a part.
So when you give to us, you are really helping to communicate the truth of God’s word literally around the world. And I just want to put that out before you. So thank you also to remind you that tomorrow Isaac and I will be here. We’ll conclude a wrap up viewing this week overall, but then beginning next week and the next two weeks, we’re going to do what we have been doing for many, many years and that we will be playing the best of program top 10 programs of the year. We will be playing. That’s what you will hear. So I won’t be here with you live on those days. So you’ll be hearing programs from earlier this year and I’d encourage you to listen to them. They’re very encouraging. Truth never changes. So what we said back in May is still true today or whatever it may be.
So anyways, just to have a heads up so you know what to expect in the next two weeks. And when we actually join again live January or so, there’s going to be a lot of things to go over and we’ll be doing that. So this is what’s going to happen. Just want you to know. All right, with that, Michael, let’s go back and have you give some final words. One of the things, one of the duties that I’ve found, we have that duty here behind this microphone at APN Stand in the Gap radio and TV. A pastor has that responsibility. What I’m going to share, you have it because you have the pen, you write, you have a pen, you have a position of responsibility, authority, those in office, those in the pulpit. One of the things the Bible lays out is that every person in a position of authority has a duty to be a watchman on the wall, to warn the people under their influence of the wolf in the street, as Jesus said in Matthew. And Jesus said, if you don’t do that, you are like a higherling or a false prophet. So here, conclude here in just a couple minutes. We’re done Michael. But for those wanting to think and respond biblically to all that we’re seeing unfold, what is the warning and what is the response that we should have biblically as we wrap up this program?
Michael Snyder:
Yeah. Sam, all throughout the Bible from the very beginning, we see warnings. Noah, he was described as a preacher of righteousness. He warned the people, Hey, judgment is coming. There’s going to be a flood. And ultimately there was, we get to the days of Isaiah and Jeremiah. Jeremiah warned for decades, literally the Babylonians are coming, repent and turn back to God. And ultimately he was proven right as opposed to the false pillow prophets of his day, which we’re saying, everything’s going to be wonderful. And then we get to the end of the Bible. The book of Revelation is all a giant warning and it’s for our future, our time. And those today that want to, I believe that wants to be accurate, need to be warning about what’s coming, not so people can be down, but knowing what’s ahead gives us hope. Jesus said, Hey, you have to go through certain things.
Things are going to happen, but don’t be afraid. And so we don’t want Christians to be down or depressed or taking pills just the opposite. We want them to have hope saying Jesus said these things were going to happen should fill us with joy because we’re getting toward the end of the story. And so we want to encourage Christians, we want to warn Christians and warning believers will cause them to return to God, get closer to God. And that’s the goal. And then for unbelievers, the time should tell us the time is short. We’ve got to win souls while we still can. There’s 8 billion souls alive today on the earth that are hanging in the balance. That’s why a lot of people expected my most recent, my new book to be about the End times. But instead, it was a soul-winning book all about evidence for the Christian faith because I’ve got to get this in the hands of as many people as possible. While there’s still time to win souls, we should have an urgency to win soul, Sam, because once we get to heaven, we’re not going to be able to win souls. That’s the one thing we’re not going to be able to do right now. We’ve got to have such an urgency to win people to Jesus Christ.
Sam Rohrer:
Amen Michael. And with that fervor and passion that you have, ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you share it as well. I think one of the signs of true remnant believers is that they are aware of the times Jesus told his disciple. Be aware, don’t be ignorant of the times. How are we not ignorant? Being aware, being aware of what the Bible said and also doing then what the Lord says we ought to do. Don’t be perplexed when these things must come about things we’re talking about because they’re a part of God’s plan. What do they ultimately do? They bring focus and attention to the king of kings, Jesus Christ, the victor. And that is how the chapter ends. So if we know him, we are victorious. Let us have that confidence, and if we do, we will share that good news with others who do not yet know and those who do know to be encouraged to live holy in these days.
