Sam Rohrer:
Hello and welcome to this special Wednesday edition of Stand In the Gap Today Without dispute, the volume and the velocity of conflicting information, not just information, but conflicting information coming at us from all sides, be that government or business or religious and political leaders. That’s historic. It’s unequal in human history. In addition, nearly all of these leaders who dominate the news, we have noted, and you note as well, routinely flip flop on their statements. And I have said many times, frankly, why is that? Well, to suit their pragmatic purposes and this mentality unanchored in truth, biblical truth, and without a fear of God has produced a climate where people are being literally driven into a state of confused overload. And without being anchored firmly in Christ and biblical authority, the results and the consequences are predictable and frankly, very prophetically indicated as in days of deception and sleight of hand and fear focused.
And we talk about that regularly on this program. Now, today here on the program, I’ve invited back Michael Snyder, attorney, economist, and publisher of the Economic Collapse Blog, end of the American Dream, and the most important news now, Michael, is I want to say one of the most prolific, and he is because there’s stuff coming out almost every day. I’m going to say truth-based journalist of today, one of the few, I think effectively connecting the dots relative to current events and biblical prophecy. And I’m going to say, put it in the mode of the Old Testament watchmen on the wall, and we’ll talk a little bit about that. I’m going to ask him the last segment, what drives his motivation. But yesterday’s release of economic data, you may or may not have seen it, but it’s big, but economic data that revises downward by an historic figure of 911,000 jobs for the past 12 months of federal government reporting. That’s the basis for today’s conversation. I felt necessary to present it because it impacts a lot of things. The title I’ve chosen to frame today’s focus is this, fake numbers and faulty analysis, the reality and the consequences. And with that, Michael Snyder. Michael, thanks for being back with us here today on Standard Gap today.
Michael Snyder:
Oh, Sam, it’s so great to be with you today.
Sam Rohrer:
Michael, let’s get right into this, because yesterday the federal government’s official Department of Economic Analysis and reporting release a jobs report that, well, frankly, I’m going to say staggered literally every portion of the economic and banking and political sectors, not only here in America, but the entire world because the entire world’s focused on economic data right now and banking, some big change is about to happen. And the report was the downward revision of 911,000 US jobs that had been reported as having occurred during the past 12 months from April of 2024 to April of 2025 of this year. Now, in your most recent article you just turned out last night right after it came out, you entitled it this super fake, fake numbers from fake bureaucrats caused people to believe in fake economic prosperity that never existed. Long title but necessary for all those words to be there.
You start with a sentence there in your article, how do 911,000 jobs suddenly disappear into thin air? Can someone please explain that to me? Now? That’s what you said. So Michael, here are two questions I want to consider here in this first segment, if we can and set up the balance of today’s conversation. There’s the what happened, and then as you position the why and the how. So explain first a little bit more for those who may not be aware of this, what was the report that was released by the BLS yesterday Bureau of Labor Statistics? What was released and what information was shared?
Michael Snyder:
Well, thank you, Sam. Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases a monthly jobs report to let us know how the economy is doing in terms of producing jobs. And of course, every month for a long time during the Biden administration, we were getting jobs reports every month that looked good, that looked good. And so all throughout that time period, I was writing about how so many other numbers were indicating that we were heading in the wrong direction economically. And of course, the American people in opinion polls were saying, Hey, we don’t think the economy is doing well. But then every month the government would come out particularly with the employment report and say, Hey, look, this is really good. And the media was saying, oh yeah, the job market, that’s fine. There are plenty of jobs. And so there was this entire narrative which kind of contradicted basically all the other economic numbers we were getting, what the American people themselves were feeling at the time.
But it was this narrative that, look, the US economy is fine, it’s producing plenty of jobs. And a lot of times people would actually bring those numbers to me and say, Hey, Michael, look, what you’re writing about is wrong because look what the government is telling us. And so it was this entire narrative. And of course, the Federal Reserve wasn’t reducing interest rates, hasn’t been reducing interest rates because they’ve been getting these numbers and they’re like, oh, we don’t need to reduce interest rates because everything is fine. And then during the election, and this was what could have really mattered because Kamala Harris, she campaigned on Joe Biden’s supposedly strong record of job creation. But now we’re learning that the entire thing was a lie because now what the BL S has gone back and they revised numbers for 12 months leading up to March, 2025, which was through the election period, and they have gone back and they’ve eliminated 911,000 jobs that they originally told us were created. And so all these job reports for 12 months, that looked so good. Well, it turns out they weren’t good at all. And so the entire narrative that we had been fed the whole time that the Federal Reserve depended upon that voters were told during the election that the mainstream media has been telling us through this entire time period, it’s all untrue.
Sam Rohrer:
Okay, Michael, Michael, hold on. I’m going to come back and build onto that. Now, why and how perhaps now did disinformation come out? Because although what you’re saying is true, and I’m saying 100% these numbers that came out August of 2024 during the Biden administration, the same BLS revised downward employment or jobs numbers by 818,000 for the previous 12 months, all during the Biden administration, just slightly less frankly than yesterday’s 911,000. So this has been going on for a long time. What do you make of that?
Michael Snyder:
Well, there’s a number of ways this could have potentially happened. Number one, the procedures they use are faulty. I’ve criticized the birth death model for a long time in which every month A BLS assumes that there’s all these new businesses coming into creation, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, and then they go back later on and say, oh, wait a second. Didn’t actually happen that way. And so their procedures are faulty. Some are also pointing to incompetence. The President Trump fired the head of the BBL s not too long ago pointing to, Hey, these people did keep getting it wrong, particularly the last couple of years. You can’t be that wrong. So something’s wrong. We got to get rid of this person who’s leading the agency, this woman
Sam Rohrer:
On hold that Michael, we’re about out of time, ladies and gentlemen. Stay with us. We’re going to go further into this as we look at this revision, substantial historic revision, but the implications that it has because if these numbers are wrong, a lot of other things are wrong and bogus. We’ll be back in just a moment. Well, if you’re just joining us today to at the beginning of our program, our theme is this, today, fake numbers and faulty analysis, the reality of that and the consequences. My special guest is Michael Snyder. He is an investigative journalist. He’s an attorney, he’s an economist, and he writes on a wide number of key events that are happening and connecting the dots on them as we try to do on all of our Standing the Gap today programs. He’s got a website that you can pick up and find what he’s writing about.
It’s got a Substack link, Michael T. Snyder dot substack.com. That’s where you can find them and can actually subscribe to his articles. Now, the historic downward revision, which we just talked about in the last segment, truly historic downward revision of 911,000 jobs. That was yesterday by the Bureau of Label Statistics, which they did for the last 12 months. That was the official federal government Bureau of Labor statistics. That downward revision is frankly staggering. But having done so now for the last two years, to me it screams of, well, one or both of two possibilities, one total incompetency, and I’m going to say and or deliberate deception. Now, certainly there is the natural desire of all leaders, whether politicians or business leaders or religious leaders, anybody who’s in charge of anything. I mean, we all have this choice. And that is how do you view circumstances? Because everybody’s got their own perspective, and we’ve all heard of this.
You can approach it. Well, the glass half full rather than the glass half empty. And those who talk about half empty, and that’s all they emphasize. People would say, oh, you’re just a pessimist. If it’s half full, always, it’s kind of like, eh, you’re pretty rosy and not true. So that’s the balance. We all understand what I’m saying there, and we all know how attitude does impact actions. However, such extraordinary changes in numbers or official statistics is not the same as viewing a glass half full or half empty. Now, to me, it’s like what we just witnessed with the COVID attack on America and the extraordinary fake statistics and fake analysis that both preceded that bio weapon attack. And I’m using those words carefully. That’s exactly what it is. It was the unfolding consideration of the COVID VX solution, and we all put ourselves in that reflect back, and the indisputably horrendous results still defended for five years.
Now, by the same people, I’m going to say until the efforts of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy of late to force some change in the narrative. But every day that the media drives its narrative, it does drive its narrative of what is the current Trump administration drives its narrative of what is and numbers are presented. One day they are changed the next day and sometimes something new presented the next day. Now, this is all part of people I think wanting to present their view of truth and employing pragmatic deception to justify it all, but it’s unhinged from absolute biblical truth because truth doesn’t change like that. Now, Michael, as an economist, attorney and investigative journalist, what other areas of government or official data have you identified as fake and therefore deception? It’s not just all coming out of the BLS, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is it?
Michael Snyder:
Oh, not at all, but I wanted to mention the unemployment rate. Right now they say, oh, it’s 4.3%. It’s still very low single digits, right? But then if you go dig deeper into the data, what you see is okay, you go and they tell us that a little bit more than 7 million Americans are officially unemployed. And that doesn’t sound bad. That seems rather low. But then there’s another category of Americans that are considered to be not in the labor force, and that’s 102, almost 103 million adult Americans. So if you add 102 million Americans, not in the labor force to the 7 million that are officially unemployed, you’ve got a combined total of about 109 million Americans that aren’t working, adult Americans that aren’t working right now, which is far, far higher than anything we saw during the Great Recession, in fact that the combined number never even came close to a hundred million during the Great Recession. So we’re actually at a far, far higher level today.
Sam Rohrer:
Okay, Michael.
Michael Snyder:
Michael,
Sam Rohrer:
Okay, Michael, just let me throw into that because people listening would say, well, Michael, that 102 million who are not in the labor force, there’s got to be a reason why government has classified them as not in the labor force. And if they’re not in the labor force, they’re obviously not there for some reason. So Michael, I’m going to say from that perspective, you Michael saying that they ought to be included. What’s your basis for doing so? Let me play the advocate with you. What do he say?
Michael Snyder:
Sure. Well, what has happened over time is that the criteria for being included in those that are considered to be officially unemployed has gotten very, very tight. And so yeah, there should be a category of those that are not in the labor force. You’ve got stay at home moms that have chosen not to work, or you’ve got students that have chosen to go to school rather than be in the labor force. And so that is a legitimate category, but over time, it’s gotten to the point where the government, because of changing criteria, is dumping almost everyone into that pool. And so we’ve seen that number just go up and up and up and up. Meanwhile, the number that are unemployed has stayed very low in recent years. Okay.
Sam Rohrer:
Alright, Michael. Okay, Mike, let me throw in. Just ask again for clarification. Who, as an example, we’re just using this as an example to say that the BLS numbers yesterday is not the only area where numbers are wrongly interpreted. Who else for are you saying are for instance in that 102 million, not in the labor force, who actually ought to be in the labor force and therefore counted as unemployed? Who
Michael Snyder:
Are they? Well, the entire category of what they call discouraged workers where people have been unemployed and they’ve been unemployed for a very long time and maybe they’ve gotten to the point where they’re not even getting unemployment benefits anymore, but they’re still looking for work, they’re still desperate to get a job. For example, there’s a 64-year-old man, an accountant that has decades of experience. I recently wrote about him and he was unemployed from last October, but he gets up often at 3:00 AM in the morning almost every morning to start looking for jobs, to search for jobs, to apply for jobs. He’s applied for hundreds of jobs, hasn’t found anything. He even applied to be a mascot at a local Chick-fil-A location. Didn’t get that. But he continues to look for work. But he is considered to be one of these discouraged workers. Or there’s another one recent college graduate, a girl, she’s applied for 900 jobs.
She got a degree in computer science. She thought that would be her ticket to a six figure income, but she’s been looking for work for months and months and months, applied for 900 jobs, even applied to work at Chipotle. Didn’t get that either. Hasn’t found anything. But we’ve got all these people that can’t find work are applying for hundreds and hundreds of jobs. People listening today know exactly what I’m talking about. They can’t find work either. We’ve got just tons of people that are doing whatever they can to find work and can’t find it, can’t find anything to support themselves or their families, but they’re not even included in the official unemployment numbers. They don’t meet the criteria.
Sam Rohrer:
Alright, so that is something that happens. Michael, I know I used to be in government as people know, and I served on appropriations in Pennsylvania for 16 years and I know exactly what you’re talking about because all you need to do to address and change the numbers into what you want is just change the definition of who’s included. And that’s why I was asking you what you were saying there, because numbers tell a number, but you can change numbers extraordinarily to make it look like what you want. Now we only have about a minute left here, but for instance, based on the fact that unemployment is higher than what they say at 4.95% because of what you’re talking about, the unemployment number, the revision down that we just talked about by the BBLs yesterday, if those numbers are that much in error and that faulty, that fake Michael, it has to impact so many other areas of the economy all the way up to Wall Street all the way down. What other items and areas of economic measurement would have to be or are off simply because the economic and the job numbers are off?
Michael Snyder:
Yeah, well, it’s all connected. And you’ve got the inflation rate too where they tell us, oh, inflation is really, really low. It’s like two point something percent, which is absurd because when we go to the grocery store, we can see the cost of certain things that we used to buy a number of years ago have doubled or even tripled the cost of living completely out of control. Now, a new study just came out where it says the cost of living the American dream for a lifetime, it has reached $5 million. The cost of living is completely out of control. And yet they say, oh, inflation is low. And that has all types of implications throughout government policymaking as well.
Sam Rohrer:
And that brings us about right up to the end. So I think inflation numbers are coming out this week as we do this program. Are they not?
Michael Snyder:
Oh, I’m not sure. I’m not sure when the next numbers are coming out, but yeah, they’ll continue to show that inflation is low, but in reality it’s not low at all.
Sam Rohrer:
Alright, so ladies and gentlemen, you get the idea. We’re talking here today about fake numbers and faulty analysis, fake numbers on statistics we’re focusing on today. But frankly, you come up with statistics on everything from education, not just economics, but in finance to, well, everything in healthcare, we’re talking about all statistic driven and we can see how fake they have been. Well, when that’s the case, it produces very faulty analysis, which frankly can become very dangerous. So it’s important what we’re talking about when we come back, we’re going to look at some other examples of fake numbers and faulty analysis.
Michael, other fake numbers are out there. You just gave a few examples where we’re looking at using the jobs revision report that came out yesterday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics where they reevaluated and took off just removed and once fell sweep, 911,000 jobs that they said had been there. But that comes on the back of 818,000 that were removed a year ago at about the same time. So that puts everything into question. And you raised the statement that yes, the employment data, the unemployment data, the percentages, you talked about that in the last segment, inflation rate, all of these things are very, very critical numbers. It’s all based on data, but the data as we’re saying is way off. And if they’re off in one area, they’re off in another. Now we’re going to go further into this another areas where you are consistently writing.
You’ve written, for instance, I’m going to give three options here. Say anything additional about the economic side, what we were talking about, if you have another example or let’s go to a different area that depends on statistics and numbers and all of that. And one is an area that you write in the area of weather events. And another one is in the area of peace and war where peace is talked about. But there are evidences of war. So let’s deal with them. So let’s go this way first, give us a status report on what you think is most noteworthy in regard to weather events. And there’s always an economic aspect to weather events that comes into it that I don’t know how this is actually, I don’t see much on that, but anyways, tie some of that together here in this first question to you.
Michael Snyder:
Sure, Sam, you look at flooding where it seems like, wow, we have a thousand year floods all over the country and really it’s been all over the world this year. It’s been the year of the flood, but through August 1st there have been 3,827 flash flood warnings issued by the National Weather Service. And that’s really a number you can’t monkey with. They either issue a flash flood warning or they don’t, but that’s the highest number that has ever been recorded for a single year through August 1st. In fact, we are on track to double the national average for flash flood warnings in a single year. So that is crazy. Meanwhile, it’s also been the year of the fire started January and California with all those horrible fires. But through September 10th, I mean this was right up to date, there have been 48,327 wildfires across the United States through today and last year there was only 29,547 through this state.
So to go from 29,000, 48,000, we’ve seen a tremendous increase in fires just over the last year. And then of course we’ve talked about on previous programs, the volcanoes, the earthquakes. In fact, this summer we had a 30 day period. Normally during a 30 day period, Sam, we see an average of somewhere between 110 and 125 magnitude 5.0 or greater earthquakes around the world, 110 to 125. Well, this summer we had a 30 day period when we saw 494 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 within a 30 day period. So that was, you’re talking about approximately four times as many magnitude 5.0 earthquakes during a 30 day period than we normally see. Extremely unusual. So to me, this should be getting people’s attention because we’re seeing an unprecedented level of flooding, we’re seeing a tremendous amount of fires, and in the exact same year we’re seeing just this massive shaking all over the planet, large earthquakes.
In fact, just yesterday there was a swarm of earthquakes off the coast of Oregon, the Cascadia subduction zone, which should be getting a lot more attention. That’s extremely dangerous. In fact, we just saw Mount Rainier, the largest swarm of earthquakes. There was over a thousand earthquakes at Mount Rainier. Not all of them were large, but over a thousand earthquakes in about a 30 day period. And scientists say that’s the largest storm of earthquakes we’ve ever seen at Mount Rainier, which is the most dangerous volcano in North America. So Sam, the point is, weather’s going crazy. We’re seeing shaking. We’re seeing earthquakes in diverse places like Jesus talked about in Matthew 24. All of this should be getting people’s attention, and yet the mainstream media is not covering it like they should be.
Sam Rohrer:
So where numbers actually occurring as you decided, if the weather service gives a warning, it’s a data point, it’s real. If there are earthquakes, there either are measurable earthquakes or they’re not. If there are fires, there are either fires or they’re not as what you’re talking about, but the choice of weather to report them or make them noteworthy, that is a choice that those who keep statistics, the media, those who look at it, whether or not you choose to act upon them becomes a part of the analysis. And so numbers, fake numbers, but you also have true numbers and rejecting of those true numbers. Alright, so let’s leave that hang there for a moment. We’ll bring it all together, ladies and gentlemen, next segment. Just a couple of days ago, Michael, you wrote an article where you provided a summary of very recent events that for instance, scream war that you talked about, we talk about here and rumors of war within the context of also talks about peace. Share some of these and whether within these you see a thread of fake information, some of the things you’re going to cite, are they fake information or are they real?
Michael Snyder:
Yeah, we keep being told, oh, peace is breaking out. We’re going to have peace. Meanwhile, we just continue to have more war. On Tuesday, the IDF conducted the surprise attack in the capital city of Qatar trying to decapitate the leadership of Hamas. And they got some members of ha Hamas, but apparently the leader survives. But that was an unprecedented attack on the soil of a US ally and really someone that we’ve never seen Israel attack cutter before. I mean in cutter, they’re extremely upset about this. They’re saying, Hey, we’ve got to respond. We reserve the right to respond to this. And then turkeys come out and say, Hey, we stand with you. We’re going to take joint steps. That’s what Erdogan said in response. And so what does that mean? Are they going to take military action against Israel? We don’t know. Let’s hope not.
And then Israel also just this week conducted major, this hardly got any attention in the mainstream media, but they conducted major airstrikes inside Syria to take out weapons. Weapons that had been brought in by Turkey because the Turkey is very closely aligned with the new government there in Syria. And so Israel’s been just bombing of Syria, of course bombing Gaza City as they’re going in with their military operation to defeat the Hamas terrorists there. And that’s escalating and that’s raising tensions in the region. The UAE is saying, Hey, we might pull out of this peace treaty that we’ve had for five years with you. And then the Iranians, they put their forces on high alert, they’re concerned Israel might attack again soon. So tensions in the Middle East, things there are going crazy. Sam, meanwhile with Ukraine, just last, just last night, supposedly Russian drones violated Polish airspace.
Polish fighter jets were scrambled, shot down the supposedly Russian drones. And so now the President Zelensky of Ukraine saying, Hey, we need a common air defense because Zelensky, what does he want more than anything else is, Hey, what can I do to drag NATO into the war? Meanwhile, as you’ve mentioned previously, French hospitals are being warned that they need to prepare for mass European casualties of soldiers by March, 2026. What is that all about? Extremely concerned about what we’re seeing in Europe. And then according to reporter, Ken Klippenstein, the US military has been preparing for military operations inside Venezuela. Of course, we just saw the boat blown up in Venezuela is mobilizing their forces because they’re concerned about what the US is going to do. All of these things, we’ve got these wars and rumors of wars once again, Matthew 24, Sam, but we’re living in such a dangerous time.
Sam Rohrer:
And Michael, that gets into a little bit, well, we’re going to talk about again how we evaluate this because what we’re talking about is that the evidence yesterday of the BLS numbers and what they did last year as well is an example of irrefutable fake numbers. Again, whether by incompetency or by purposeful deception, they are numbers upon which policies are based and decisions are made, therefore faulty analysis because they are fake and bogus from the beginning. Then the kind of information that you’re talking about, weather, events, fires, floods, earthquakes, drought, all of those kinds of things and things you didn’t mention all in that category or these matters of war and things that are happening. That is information, but that is ignored in either event, ladies and gentlemen, you can get the point. We act upon that, which we know we can choose to know some things or in the case of many people, you just ignore that which you well find uncomfortable.
The other is people who do want to act upon true information. Increasingly, you all know it as we know it. Michael has described it today, and I find it all the time what information is actually true. Now that’s an interesting scenario. I’m going to come back, I’m going to ask Michael again to further explain why he personally and what he does is motivated to try to report on these kinds of things and it’ll tie into why we do what we do on this program. And then from a biblical perspective, what should be the response of God fearing people, those of us who have ears to hear and eyes to see, how do we take these things which are increasingly difficult to discern and act upon them as we go into our final segment here? Now, we’ve covered a lot of ground today on the program.
I know that many of you listening listen regularly. I heard from a couple of listeners this week who said, you know what? You need to mention on the air the value of our programs in archived form. There are so many of you that I’ve heard from who are not able to listen live because ultimately just a small percentage of the over 500 stations that carry this daily program actually carry it live. Only about 50 or so that actually carry it live. Others carry it at some point during the day. There are many that I know that will listen to the program when they are having dinner. There’s a lot, I don’t know whether you do that or not, but some do that. But they listen to the program in archive form, which you can find on Stand in the gap radio.com or very, very, very conveniently on your app stand in the Gap because at that point then you can listen to it when you’re ready to actually sit down and take notes and think, whereas oftentimes during the day or listening in the radio like in a car or that kind of thing becomes difficult.
So I just reference that and just say that I’ve heard from people about how valuable that is. So I just recommend that to you as a consideration. Alright, Michael, truthful information, that’s what we’re talking, but today were the lack thereof, but truthful information and actual facts, true facts, not like the fact checkers that we have out there that are bogus and not true, but truthful information, facts and warnings and more like that is necessary for informed decision-making. If people do not have the truth and they do not know what is real, they cannot respond. And that’s why deception works so well. But from your perspective, I want to ask you this, you’ve shared it before on some programs in the past, I want you to do it again here. What is the biblical motivation for you as you personally watch, note, and write about and warn of important events? Why do you do it and actually feel it’s a calling?
Michael Snyder:
Well, I’m kind of unique, Sam, in that most Christian authors, they are writing for the Christian community mostly. But me, I have two distinct groups that I’m addressing when I write my articles. And people need to understand this because sometimes they see my articles and say, why aren’t you doing this? Or Why aren’t you doing that, Michael? Well, I’m actually writing for two very large groups of people. One is believers and one is unbelievers. I have a very large secular unbelieving audience and I greatly value that. I want to talk to those people. And so for believers, I’m writing about all these things I want people to understand because all these things that I write about, they’re evidence that we are living in the end times. And if you understand, understand what’s going on, it’s going to help you make wise decisions, number one. But it’s also going to give you hope because number one, if you understand that we’re living in the end times, that what the Bible has to say about the future of humanity is true, that should greatly encourage us.
Even though things are going crazy in this world, everything, there’s seemingly bad news all around us, but it’s also good news because it tells us that everything we believed all this time about what the Bible says about the future of humanity is real. It’s true. And then secondly, it’s also telling us that the end of the story, which is a greater ending than anything Hollywood ever dreamed of inventing the end of our story, the future, when we get to be with Jesus forever and ever and ever. It’s coming, it’s approaching and we’re going to be there relatively soon, not yet, but we’re going to be there. And the end of the story is coming and it’s an amazing ending of the story. Now for the other group of people, the unbelievers, of course they don’t have that to look forward to yet, but when you can point to the Bible and say, Hey, the headlines that are happening today, were told to us in advance.
God tells us history in advance. He’s real. He really did create all things and he loves you and he sent his son to die for you on the cross. That’s what I’m trying to get to. The unbelievers be all this stuff that we talk about, all about the evidence of the end times. It’s some of the most powerful evidence for the Christian faith. And I’m trying to show people and turn people to God and my ministry is turning people to God and people are getting saved and are finding Christ through the end times warning message. They’re seeing that God really does exist, that he is real, that he’s playing a role in human history and that means everything. If we can even help one person find Jesus Christ, eternal life from Jesus Christ, that’s more important than anything else that we can accomplish in this lifetime. And that is what we need to be focused on because we’ve got a limited amount of time and with their 8 billion souls hanging in the balance in our world today as we want to see as many of them saved as
Sam Rohrer:
Possible. And Michael, what you just enunciated there is exactly how we feel in this program and it’s why you and I have developed a friendship and why you are on this program generally monthly or every once in a while anyway. Sometimes more often than sometimes less, but because it’s for that mission and what you are saying there. And I want you to then conclude with how God-fearing people should respond to these warnings. But in reality it’s exactly the whole point of when the disciples went to Jesus in Matthew 24 and said, Lord, what are going to be some evidences that will be available for people at the time before you return? What things will they see? Well, it’s all the things that we’ve just talked about today, whether and pestilence and in wars and rumors of wars and all of those things that are mentioned there. And Jesus’s comment was to them, don’t be perplexed. And that’s for us today, ladies and gentlemen. Don’t be fearful. Don’t be, don’t be perplexed. These things must come to pass. That’s the Lord Jesus himself. And so there in the last couple of minutes, Michael, from a biblical perspective, what should the response B of God fearing people, you’ve already said it, but say it again to legitimate warnings and these indications we’ve talked about today.
Michael Snyder:
Yeah, Sam, there’s a lot of bad news and there’s going to be a lot more bad news. I wish I could tell you differently, but I can’t. There’s going to be a lot more. And so what is our response? Should we go over into the corner and curl up into a ball, into a fetal position and start crying and no, no. That’s the exact opposite of what God wants for us. When bad things happen, God wants us to rise up for encourage and discover what job he has for us to do because what he has for you to do is different from what he has for me to do. We all have a job. That’s the good news. We all have a job. We all have a purpose in the kingdom. And the goal is to discover it and to advance the kingdom and to win souls and to make a difference because time is limited.
And so we have a huge job collectively to do a very limited amount of time to do it. And then also we do need to prepare ourselves and our families for difficult times for things that are coming. So am I a prepper? Do I store food and supplies and other things of that nature? Yeah, I do that. I believe that’s what we’re called to do. And so we want to prepare on a physical level. We want to prepare on a spiritual level and we want to accomplish the things that God has called us to do. Because once we get to heaven, I mean we’re going to be loving it, but we’re not going to be able to do job we’re called to do on earth right now. We’ve got a job to do and we need to be focusing like a laser on doing that.
Sam Rohrer:
Alright, and Michael, well stated and that brings us pretty much up to the end here. Thank you so much for being with me for the work that you do. And ladies and gentlemen, again, you can access Michael’s articles, some of which are referred to today at Michael T. Snyder dot substack.com. I’m just going to give you that one so it’s easier to remember Michael T. Snyder dot substack.com. And ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you have been encouraged by today. We’ve taken headline news like we do. We’ve tried to bring to it a biblical worldview. We’ve done that. Talk about that which we see and we hear we’re all being subjected to the same thing. We’re overloaded if we’re not careful. Point being, if we look at what is taking place through the lens of scripture, we will not end up where the world is confused and fearful, but to the contrary. And that is exactly what the word of God tells us to do. And I hope that that is the result of today. Thanks for being with us so much. Ladies and gentlemen. Lord willing be back here tomorrow where we’re going to dig a little bit deeper into some of these things we just talked about today. You’ll fit together these two programs. Join us tomorrow. The Lord willing will be back. Thanks so much.
