00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:03.900
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:07.860
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.860 --> 00:00:09.240 line:15%
Hey, this is Rick Renner
4
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.400
and today we're going to be back with one
5
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:12.750
of my younger friends.
6
00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:17.190 line:15%
We're doing a series called A
Prophetic View of the Future.
7
00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:19.560 line:15%
What is God saying to the church now
8
00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:23.100 line:15%
and what is he telling us about now to the coming of Jesus?
9
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:24.480 line:15%
We need to know?
10
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.520 line:15%
And today my friend is Todd Coconato,
11
00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:31.920 line:15%
who has a new book called
the Isaiah Blueprint.
12
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.080 line:15%
I read it from cover to cover.
13
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:38.190 line:15%
It is just amazing what God
is revealing to these young,
14
00:00:38.190 --> 00:00:40.080 line:15%
very powerful men.
15
00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:43.080 line:15%
And today we're gonna be
discussing Todd's book,
16
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:47.100 line:15%
an Isaiah Blueprint, plus
God's view of our times
17
00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:48.420 line:15%
and the near future.
18
00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:50.910 line:15%
It's just going to be so rich,
19
00:00:50.910 --> 00:00:52.830 line:15%
but you can find out more
about all these things
20
00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:55.470 line:15%
by going online or calling us.
21
00:00:55.470 --> 00:00:57.510 line:15%
And please let us know how to pray
22
00:00:57.510 --> 00:01:00.240 line:15%
for you when you reach out to us.
23
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.240 line:15%
But I'm very excited about
Todd being with me today.
24
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.000 line:15%
So let's get started.
25
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.270 line:15%
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
26
00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:12.000
and your mind - where the word is
27
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.790
the anchor in uncertain times
28
00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:18.090
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
29
00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:19.530
We keep it simple,
30
00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:24.090 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
31
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:26.880 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
32
00:01:27.990 --> 00:01:30.150 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
33
00:01:32.490 --> 00:01:33.990
Let's join Rick Renner.
34
00:01:36.210 --> 00:01:39.480
Well, as I told you today I have a special guest.
35
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.555
My friend, Todd Coconato,
36
00:01:41.555 --> 00:01:44.238
who I believe is one of the greatest up
37
00:01:44.238 --> 00:01:46.260
and coming ministers in the United States.
38
00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:49.200
And he has just written
a new book called the
39
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.640 line:15%
Isaiah Blueprint.
40
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.470 line:15%
Now I gotta tell you the truth.
41
00:01:52.470 --> 00:01:55.920 line:15%
I appreciate Todd, I respect
everything he's published,
42
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.140 line:15%
but when I read this
book, I said to my wife,
43
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.190 line:15%
if he never publishes another
book, this was worth it
44
00:02:02.190 --> 00:02:05.670 line:15%
all. This book is just amazing.
45
00:02:05.670 --> 00:02:07.080 line:15%
It is riveting
46
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:08.190 line:15%
and it answers
47
00:02:08.190 --> 00:02:10.890 line:15%
so many questions about
the time we're living in.
48
00:02:10.890 --> 00:02:12.870 line:15%
And of course in these
programs we're talking about a
49
00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:14.370 line:15%
prophetic view of the future.
50
00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:16.680 line:15%
He really answers all the questions about what's coming down
51
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.150 line:15%
the pike in the future.
52
00:02:18.150 --> 00:02:21.060
And today, I wanna
welcome you Todd, to the
53
00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:23.970 line:15%
Program Pastor Rick, it's
such an honor to be with you
54
00:02:23.970 --> 00:02:25.350 line:15%
and thank you for those kind words.
55
00:02:25.350 --> 00:02:27.120 line:15%
You know that that was my prayer.
56
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.970 line:15%
I read David Wilkerson's book,
the Cross in the Switchblade,
57
00:02:29.970 --> 00:02:31.710 line:15%
and I'm not a big book writer.
58
00:02:31.710 --> 00:02:34.800 line:15%
So I said to the Lord, if I
write a book again, I said,
59
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.020 line:15%
I want it to be one that will be impactful
60
00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:39.120 line:15%
and one that will not
only, you know, should you,
61
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.940 line:15%
Terry would be lasting in its in its
62
00:02:41.940 --> 00:02:43.470 line:15%
importance and what it's saying.
63
00:02:43.470 --> 00:02:44.850 line:15%
And so that just means so much
64
00:02:44.850 --> 00:02:46.680 line:15%
that you would say that. Thank you sir.
65
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.210 line:15%
Well this is really an end time book.
66
00:02:48.210 --> 00:02:49.920
It's gonna bring clarity,
67
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:51.540 line:15%
it's gonna bring answers to people.
68
00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:53.790 line:15%
And I just wanna read
a few of the chapters
69
00:02:53.790 --> 00:02:55.290 line:15%
and these are the ones I would really like
70
00:02:55.290 --> 00:02:57.870 line:15%
to dwell on in this particular program.
71
00:02:57.870 --> 00:02:59.380 line:15%
And if you would, I want
you to come back next
72
00:02:59.380 --> 00:03:00.820 line:15%
week to be with me again.
73
00:03:00.820 --> 00:03:02.650 line:15%
But listen to these chapter titles.
74
00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:05.650
I mean, they're just amazing: Understanding the
75
00:03:05.650 --> 00:03:07.360
Babylon System.
76
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.550
My wife said, what does that
mean - The Babylon system?
77
00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:11.440
Where we're gonna get into that today.
78
00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:15.130
No.2: It's time to live outside the system.
79
00:03:15.130 --> 00:03:16.330
Well, how do you do that?
80
00:03:17.170 --> 00:03:18.250
The weapons we have
81
00:03:18.250 --> 00:03:20.050
and the deception in front of us,
82
00:03:20.050 --> 00:03:22.000
we're living in a time of deception.
83
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.920
The next chapter, The Rise of False Prophets.
84
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:27.400
And listen to this - and how the internet is flooded
85
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.170
with deception.
86
00:03:29.170 --> 00:03:31.360
I say amen to that. Or how about this one?
87
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.580
The data trap, how governments
88
00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:38.580
and corporations are tracking every move. That is the truth.
89
00:03:38.860 --> 00:03:42.280
Or how about this one: Globalism - How nations are aligning
90
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.330
for the final conflict or the Spirit of Antisemitism.
91
00:03:46.330 --> 00:03:51.330
How in time hatred for Israel reveals the antichrist agenda
92
00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:53.020
and the watered down gospel?
93
00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:58.020
Why we must return to the Acts 2 - Church.
94
00:03:58.660 --> 00:04:01.120
Now, friend, I'm telling
you that's just a few
95
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.220
of 21 chapters.
96
00:04:03.220 --> 00:04:06.520
This book is totally amazing
97
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.440
and I want you to have
a copy of this book.
98
00:04:08.440 --> 00:04:10.240
But today I want Todd to talk
99
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.910
to you about the Babylonian system.
100
00:04:12.910 --> 00:04:15.190
Now Todd, you say in your book
101
00:04:15.190 --> 00:04:18.340 line:15%
that the Babylonian system was
not just an ancient empire,
102
00:04:18.340 --> 00:04:19.780 line:15%
but it is a worldly system
103
00:04:19.780 --> 00:04:22.510 line:15%
that is still working in the world today.
104
00:04:22.510 --> 00:04:27.250 line:15%
And you say that is, it is full of government agendas
105
00:04:27.250 --> 00:04:28.480 line:15%
that push God out
106
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.480
and bring perversion in: educational systems
107
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.000
that indoctrinate rather than educate.
108
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.310
I can just hear listeners saying that's the truth
109
00:04:36.310 --> 00:04:39.910
that's the truth. Or financial systems that enslave
110
00:04:39.910 --> 00:04:43.750
with debt and greed or media
that glorifies darkness
111
00:04:43.750 --> 00:04:45.670
and celebrates rebellion.
112
00:04:45.670 --> 00:04:48.010
That is the truth. Even churches
113
00:04:48.010 --> 00:04:52.060
that tolerate false doctrine in the name of inclusion
114
00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:54.610
that is happening all over the place.
115
00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:56.530
But I want us to really dive into
116
00:04:56.530 --> 00:05:00.160
what you write about the chief characteristics
117
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.460
of the Babylonian worldly system that is in the world today.
118
00:05:03.460 --> 00:05:06.550
But first, tell us about the Babylonian System.
119
00:05:06.550 --> 00:05:08.350 line:15%
Yeah, so this is
something that's very near
120
00:05:08.350 --> 00:05:10.720 line:15%
and dear to my heart because
if you recall my testimony,
121
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.240 line:15%
I came out of Hollywood as a child actor.
122
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.310
And so Hollywood is right at the core
123
00:05:15.310 --> 00:05:16.510
of this Babylon system.
124
00:05:16.510 --> 00:05:18.010
In fact, this is so interesting.
125
00:05:18.010 --> 00:05:21.220
You can even look this up online. On Hollywood Boulevard,
126
00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:24.700
there's actually a Babylonian
court that they've erected
127
00:05:24.700 --> 00:05:27.010
that's like part of their
whole complex there.
128
00:05:27.010 --> 00:05:29.650
And one time I went and prayed over that
129
00:05:29.650 --> 00:05:31.060
and I laid hands on that
130
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:33.100
and it was the biggest warfare I dealt
131
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:34.750
with probably almost in my entire life.
132
00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:36.070
I got so sick
133
00:05:36.070 --> 00:05:38.950
and the Lord showed me this
is what we're up against.
134
00:05:38.950 --> 00:05:40.900
Now, of course we have
authority in Jesus' name
135
00:05:40.900 --> 00:05:42.070
to pull down strongholds
136
00:05:42.070 --> 00:05:43.960
and the weapons of our warfare are more
137
00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:45.790
powerful than that of the world.
138
00:05:45.790 --> 00:05:48.130
But we are up against
a system in this world
139
00:05:48.130 --> 00:05:49.330 line:15%
that has not gone away.
140
00:05:49.330 --> 00:05:51.490
It's the same system that
was there back in the days
141
00:05:51.490 --> 00:05:53.650
of Babylon when the
nation Babylon was there.
142
00:05:53.650 --> 00:05:58.340
But this system is pushing perversion, antichrist agenda,
143
00:05:58.340 --> 00:05:59.780
all the different things that you're seeing.
144
00:05:59.780 --> 00:06:00.800
Well you mentioned many of them.
145
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.360
I mean even big pharma, you know,
146
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.820
that's sick care rather than healthcare.
147
00:06:04.820 --> 00:06:06.860
You can go into military
industrial complex
148
00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:08.210
where they want constant wars,
149
00:06:08.210 --> 00:06:10.250
where what's happening, people are dying.
150
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:12.320
You think about abortion
and the push for that.
151
00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:14.930
Many people say it's
political, but it's spiritual.
152
00:06:14.930 --> 00:06:17.210
This has been going on
since the days of Molech.
153
00:06:17.210 --> 00:06:19.070
I mean, you know, and and sacrifice.
154
00:06:19.070 --> 00:06:20.990
So these things are still happening.
155
00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:23.780
But for many years the
church in, in many aspects,
156
00:06:23.780 --> 00:06:25.280
and of course there's been a remnant,
157
00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:27.890
but many people have kind
of ignored this system.
158
00:06:27.890 --> 00:06:30.980
But the Bible says, come out from among them. Says be ye
159
00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:32.330
holy, for I am holy.
160
00:06:32.330 --> 00:06:35.480
It tells us to live set
apart and be consecrated.
161
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.700
And I think of the scripture,
it says, I know Peter,
162
00:06:37.700 --> 00:06:39.440
I know Paul, but who are you?
163
00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:41.090
We never wanna be a, who are you?
164
00:06:41.090 --> 00:06:43.130
We wanna be a Peter or a Paul.
165
00:06:43.130 --> 00:06:45.020
Which means that we have the authority,
166
00:06:45.020 --> 00:06:48.110
even in the demonic realm,
that they recognize us
167
00:06:48.110 --> 00:06:50.240
because we walk in that wisdom
168
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:51.710
and we walk according to the word of God.
169
00:06:51.710 --> 00:06:54.560
The Bible says that if you love me you'll obey my command.
170
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.770
So there's a clear mandate
for the church of Jesus Christ
171
00:06:57.770 --> 00:06:59.120
to be set apart
172
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.760
and to walk under the
anointing of the Holy Spirit.
173
00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:04.370
And so we have to see
things for what they are.
174
00:07:04.370 --> 00:07:06.710
You know, my daughter is 6 years old
175
00:07:06.710 --> 00:07:09.290
and if you go on the streaming
platforms like Netflix
176
00:07:09.290 --> 00:07:11.000
or Amazon or one of
these streaming platforms
177
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.080
and you go through the kids' movies: that dragon, you know,
178
00:07:15.080 --> 00:07:18.290
almost every little character
is a little demonic character.
179
00:07:18.290 --> 00:07:20.270
It's quite amazing. I mean it's, I'm gonna do a
180
00:07:20.270 --> 00:07:21.350
you know, broadcast about this.
181
00:07:21.350 --> 00:07:23.390
'cause I think sometimes
people don't think about it,
182
00:07:23.390 --> 00:07:25.040
but it's like, how to train my dragon?
183
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.200
You go, you go through
the, the adult shows,
184
00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:28.220
it's like Lucifer.
185
00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:31.670
I mean it is so blatant and
in our face at this point.
186
00:07:31.670 --> 00:07:34.250
But for me, when I was in Hollywood, you know, I noticed,
187
00:07:34.250 --> 00:07:37.640
I actually saw the the demonic
before I understood the Lord.
188
00:07:37.640 --> 00:07:38.900
And that's what led me to the Lord.
189
00:07:38.900 --> 00:07:41.510
Because I knew if there was darkness, there had to be light.
190
00:07:41.510 --> 00:07:44.810
But Rick, I remember going to a record label, okay
191
00:07:44.810 --> 00:07:47.330
where I was - took on a tour, you know,
192
00:07:47.330 --> 00:07:49.100
and I was probably in like my late teens
193
00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:51.350
and I go to one of the biggest
record labels out there
194
00:07:51.350 --> 00:07:52.670
and I go to the record label
195
00:07:52.670 --> 00:07:54.980
and they take me up to like
with one of the higher floors.
196
00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:59.150
And there was literally this
altar and it was like candles
197
00:07:59.150 --> 00:08:01.400
and all this dark demonic stuff.
198
00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:03.380
And I said to them,
what is that? You know?
199
00:08:03.380 --> 00:08:05.540
And I didn't know at the
time, I was kind of innocent.
200
00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:08.420
They said, oh, we pray over our music.
201
00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:09.980
Well, they weren't praying to Jesus,
202
00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:11.300
lemme tell you that right now.
203
00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:12.560
So there is a system
204
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.750
and what I found is that
Hollywood was connected
205
00:08:14.750 --> 00:08:17.480
to government and that
there's actually a plumb line.
206
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.730
And you look at things
like Operation Mockingbird
207
00:08:19.730 --> 00:08:22.010
with the CIA and our Intel community.
208
00:08:22.010 --> 00:08:24.155
You look at some of these that
have now been being, wait,
209
00:08:24.155 --> 00:08:25.580
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what is
210
00:08:25.580 --> 00:08:27.380
Operation Locking Bird?
211
00:08:27.380 --> 00:08:29.270 line:15%
So it operate you, there
was something called the
212
00:08:29.270 --> 00:08:30.440 line:15%
church commission.
213
00:08:30.440 --> 00:08:32.090 line:15%
And this is something
that you could look up
214
00:08:32.090 --> 00:08:34.130 line:15%
where our government actually
got together in the halls
215
00:08:34.130 --> 00:08:38.390 line:15%
of Congress and talked about
how the media was connected
216
00:08:38.390 --> 00:08:39.830
to the Intel community
217
00:08:39.830 --> 00:08:42.080
and that there was actually
predictive programming
218
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.170
and that they were pushing propaganda on the American folks.
219
00:08:45.170 --> 00:08:48.560
And that there were actually agents in our media, believe it
220
00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:51.590
or not, that were, that were part of the Intel community.
221
00:08:51.590 --> 00:08:52.910
Other people were being fed
222
00:08:52.910 --> 00:08:54.830
information from the Intel community.
223
00:08:54.830 --> 00:08:56.610
So, you know, you think of the news,
224
00:08:56.610 --> 00:08:58.890
president Trump comes out
and said, the news is fake.
225
00:08:58.890 --> 00:09:00.090
Well, he is actually got a point.
226
00:09:00.090 --> 00:09:02.010
A lot of the news is propaganda,
227
00:09:02.010 --> 00:09:05.070
especially here in the West, where they're pushing an agenda
228
00:09:05.070 --> 00:09:06.180
and they're, they're telling us
229
00:09:06.180 --> 00:09:07.380
what they want us to believe.
230
00:09:07.380 --> 00:09:09.450
I mean, think about the gender push.
231
00:09:09.450 --> 00:09:12.420
This is all part of
the, the Babylon system.
232
00:09:12.420 --> 00:09:15.870
And so this is why we have to
have discernment and wisdom
233
00:09:15.870 --> 00:09:17.280
and know the word of God
234
00:09:17.280 --> 00:09:18.180
because that's where faith
235
00:09:18.180 --> 00:09:19.530
comes from, hearing the word of God.
236
00:09:19.530 --> 00:09:21.780
So the Lord is wanting us to understand
237
00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.970
and discern the times: to be watchmen
238
00:09:23.970 --> 00:09:25.860
and in order to understand what's good
239
00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:28.500
and what's evil, we need to know his word.
240
00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:31.620
You know, there's so much
propaganda put out in the news
241
00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:33.240
that when I watch the news
242
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.310
and Denise is with me,
I have my computer open.
243
00:09:35.310 --> 00:09:38.700
And when a reporter comes
on, I immediately go online
244
00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:40.110
and look up that reporter.
245
00:09:40.110 --> 00:09:42.300
I wanna know who they are,
who are their friends,
246
00:09:42.300 --> 00:09:44.760 line:15%
where were they educated,
what do they stand for?
247
00:09:44.760 --> 00:09:46.290
Because all of that is going
248
00:09:46.290 --> 00:09:49.110 line:15%
to affect the way they tell you the news.
249
00:09:49.110 --> 00:09:52.260 line:15%
And all news to some extent is propaganda.
250
00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:54.780 line:15%
It's what people want you to believe.
251
00:09:54.780 --> 00:09:57.540 line:15%
But I wanna go through these key characteristics of Babylon.
252
00:09:57.540 --> 00:10:00.570
You give 7 and they're just amazing.
253
00:10:00.570 --> 00:10:03.120
Thank you so much for this message.
254
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.980 line:15%
And No.1, you say is pride and self exaltation.
255
00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:12.750 line:15%
And you quote Isaiah 47:10, which really quotes the spirit
256
00:10:12.750 --> 00:10:16.110
of Babylon as being so
arrogant and saying, I am.
257
00:10:16.110 --> 00:10:18.540 line:15%
And there's none besides me.
258
00:10:18.540 --> 00:10:20.820 line:15%
And you write, it's not just arrogance,
259
00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:23.190 line:15%
it's blasphemy. Tell me about that.
260
00:10:23.190 --> 00:10:25.950 line:15%
Well, it is, if anything that's exalted over the Father,
261
00:10:25.950 --> 00:10:28.080 line:15%
he says, there shall be no idols before me.
262
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:29.880 line:15%
And if you think about
it, we're in a generation
263
00:10:29.880 --> 00:10:32.610
where they're saying it's
a selfie generation, right?
264
00:10:32.610 --> 00:10:35.220
People are concerned about
likes and followers and,
265
00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:36.720
and the approval of man.
266
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.330
Well that's exactly
against the word of God.
267
00:10:39.330 --> 00:10:40.980
He says, humble thyself in the sight of the
268
00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:42.030
Lord, he will lift you up.
269
00:10:42.030 --> 00:10:43.680
He says, the meek shall inherit the earth.
270
00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:47.430
So this spirit of the age,
this Babylon system pushes us
271
00:10:47.430 --> 00:10:49.530
to worship basically ourselves.
272
00:10:49.530 --> 00:10:50.820
And think about this, it used
273
00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:52.770
to be even only a few
years back, you know,
274
00:10:52.770 --> 00:10:54.180
it was about celebrities and people would
275
00:10:54.180 --> 00:10:55.710
make idols of celebrities.
276
00:10:55.710 --> 00:10:58.080
H Hollywood and their, you know,
277
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.790
significance has really diminished,
278
00:10:59.790 --> 00:11:01.740
if you think about it in the
last couple of years, what's,
279
00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:04.440
what's replaced that - social media
280
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.560
where now anybody from their
basement, from their house,
281
00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:09.810
you know, broadcast, and of course some of it's great stuff
282
00:11:09.810 --> 00:11:13.290
and good content, but a lot of it is self-absorbed, is,
283
00:11:13.290 --> 00:11:14.580
is prideful.
284
00:11:14.580 --> 00:11:16.890
And the book of Isaiah gives us a blueprint.
285
00:11:16.890 --> 00:11:18.870
That's why I wrote this
book. 'cause I found, wow,
286
00:11:18.870 --> 00:11:22.020
these chapters are actually
showing us exactly what's
287
00:11:22.020 --> 00:11:23.370
happening now, you know, the children
288
00:11:23.370 --> 00:11:26.250
of Israel were held captive in Babylon.
289
00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:28.680
And then God raised up a Cyrus,
290
00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:30.720
and this is a very unlikely person,
291
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.430
but he raised up this man to,
292
00:11:32.430 --> 00:11:35.490
to basically ultimately get
them not only to be freed,
293
00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:37.620
but to also rebuild the temple.
294
00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:41.220
We are in an age right now where people are self-absorbed.
295
00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:43.260
They're... you know, doing all these things
296
00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:44.280
to make themselves look better.
297
00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:45.990
All these surgeries. And
you know, I'm not saying
298
00:11:45.990 --> 00:11:47.430
that everything's bad, but think about it.
299
00:11:47.430 --> 00:11:50.550
There's so many people that looking in the mirror, selfies,
300
00:11:50.550 --> 00:11:51.780
you know, concerned about themself.
301
00:11:51.780 --> 00:11:54.250
They've made an idol themself.
302
00:11:54.250 --> 00:11:56.110
And we haven't really
seen this historically.
303
00:11:56.110 --> 00:11:58.750
I mean if you think back in the day it was kings and queens
304
00:11:58.750 --> 00:12:01.270
and then it became celebrities
and people like that.
305
00:12:01.270 --> 00:12:03.400
Now it is focused on you.
306
00:12:03.400 --> 00:12:05.080
Everybody's looking at themself
307
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.840
and the Bible says people
will be lovers of themselves.
308
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.580
That's one of the signs of the End-
309
00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:12.670
Times, as there will be this explosion of information
310
00:12:12.670 --> 00:12:14.440
and we see that happening as well.
311
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.870
People will become haughty
and lovers of themself.
312
00:12:16.870 --> 00:12:18.880
Here we are. That's what's going on.
313
00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:20.710 line:15%
You know, the Bible teaches
that at the end of the age,
314
00:12:20.710 --> 00:12:22.270 line:15%
the antichrist is going to emerge.
315
00:12:22.270 --> 00:12:25.120
Now that's gonna happen
after the church is removed.
316
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:26.590
You know, the world has to be primed
317
00:12:26.590 --> 00:12:29.380
and prepared for his revelation.
318
00:12:29.380 --> 00:12:31.720
If the antichrist had showed
up a hundred years ago,
319
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.490
the world would not
have been ready for him.
320
00:12:33.490 --> 00:12:37.210
But today, this pride,
this self exaltation,
321
00:12:37.210 --> 00:12:42.010
this self at the center of
everyone's, you know, altar,
322
00:12:42.010 --> 00:12:43.570
it is really setting the stage
323
00:12:43.570 --> 00:12:45.850
for the man who's gonna show up
324
00:12:45.850 --> 00:12:49.000
and be blasphemous against God, declare himself to be God.
325
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.520
It is the spirit of the age all working up
326
00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:53.800
to the culmination of that event.
327
00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:55.630
And we're seeing it right in front of us.
328
00:12:55.630 --> 00:12:57.280
And between now and the end of the age,
329
00:12:57.280 --> 00:12:58.720
we're gonna see more of it.
330
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.640
But I wanna talk about point No.2 -
331
00:13:00.640 --> 00:13:01.640
Okay -
332
00:13:01.640 --> 00:13:04.720
Because the 2nd characteristic you give is one
333
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.150 line:15%
of the characteristics of Babylon is idolatry
334
00:13:07.150 --> 00:13:10.150 line:15%
and the worship of pleasure. Talk to us about
335
00:13:10.150 --> 00:13:11.150 line:15%
that.
336
00:13:11.150 --> 00:13:12.820 line:15%
Well, it's everywhere. If
you think about it, that goes
337
00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:15.220 line:15%
with No.1: they're hand in hand.
338
00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:18.280 line:15%
I mean, I hear this all
the time, even as a pastor,
339
00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:19.690
where people are now thinking about
340
00:13:19.690 --> 00:13:22.030
how they can feel
better, what they can do.
341
00:13:22.030 --> 00:13:23.860
It's supposed to be about servant hood
342
00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:24.970
in the church if you think about it.
343
00:13:24.970 --> 00:13:26.980
But we even see it seeping
into the body of Christ
344
00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:28.990
where people come in and
they, pastor, you need
345
00:13:28.990 --> 00:13:30.130
to give me your platform.
346
00:13:30.130 --> 00:13:32.620
You need to, you know, they're
thinking about these things
347
00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:34.600
pleasure oriented themselves.
348
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.720
Even the motivational message
that unfortunately has,
349
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.190
you know, and I'm not against motivation,
350
00:13:39.190 --> 00:13:41.860
but when, when preachers
only speak about motivational
351
00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:44.170
messages, that takes
away a good portion of
352
00:13:44.170 --> 00:13:45.520
what the Bible teaches.
353
00:13:45.520 --> 00:13:48.700
And that's now become a
culture. What is that feeding?
354
00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:51.820
That's feeding the self
pleasure? Make me feel good.
355
00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:53.590
Worship was good today.
356
00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:55.390
Instead of saying I'm entering into the
357
00:13:55.390 --> 00:13:56.680
courts with thanksgiving.
358
00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:58.780
You know, the Lord inhabits
the praise of his people.
359
00:13:58.780 --> 00:14:01.510
They're thinking, how can worship entertain me?
360
00:14:01.510 --> 00:14:04.270
It's now this entertainment culture
361
00:14:04.270 --> 00:14:06.460
and I believe the Lord
is raising up a standard.
362
00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:08.590
And there is a remnant
in this hour of folks
363
00:14:08.590 --> 00:14:11.080
that are hungering and
thirsting for righteousness.
364
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:14.170
But we gotta make sure that this isn't us.
365
00:14:14.170 --> 00:14:16.510
It shows how the Babylonian system has
366
00:14:16.510 --> 00:14:18.025
infiltrated the church.
367
00:14:18.025 --> 00:14:20.770
Yes, but you know Todd,
along that line, people
368
00:14:20.770 --> 00:14:22.510
who teach the Bible verse by verse,
369
00:14:22.510 --> 00:14:23.860
they've almost disappeared.
370
00:14:23.860 --> 00:14:25.660 line:15%
Yes. I was teaching one day in a church
371
00:14:25.660 --> 00:14:26.710
and a pastor came to me
372
00:14:26.710 --> 00:14:29.050 line:15%
and he said, you are really a dinosaur.
373
00:14:29.050 --> 00:14:31.360 line:15%
I thought, what in the world does that mean?
374
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.620 line:15%
So I asked him. He said - You're doing what we used to do 20
375
00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:36.940 line:15%
and 30 years ago.
376
00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:39.430 line:15%
He said, it's an art that has disappeared.
377
00:14:39.430 --> 00:14:40.840
He said, you moved to Russia,
378
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:42.250
you just kept doing what you're doing.
379
00:14:42.250 --> 00:14:44.830
While the rest of us
moved away from the verse
380
00:14:44.830 --> 00:14:46.690
by verse teaching of the Bible.
381
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:48.580
But when you don't do the
verse by verse teaching
382
00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:51.230
of the Bible, there's a lot you miss.
383
00:14:51.230 --> 00:14:53.570
Yes. And like you say, there's
a place for inspirational,
384
00:14:53.570 --> 00:14:55.070
motivational preaching.
385
00:14:55.070 --> 00:14:58.010
But hey, the gospel does
more than make us feel good.
386
00:14:58.010 --> 00:14:59.480
It confronts us.
387
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:01.430
Yes. - But I want to go to point No.3.
388
00:15:01.430 --> 00:15:03.650
And this one is really important.
389
00:15:03.650 --> 00:15:06.740 line:15%
A characteristic of the
Babylonian system you write is
390
00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:09.590 line:15%
sexual immorality and seduction.
391
00:15:09.590 --> 00:15:12.230 line:15%
And you refer to Revelation 17,
392
00:15:12.230 --> 00:15:16.070 line:15%
which calls Babylon the great
harlett full of seduction,
393
00:15:16.070 --> 00:15:18.680 line:15%
impurity and fornication.
394
00:15:18.680 --> 00:15:20.270 line:15%
And you've got some things listed here.
395
00:15:20.270 --> 00:15:22.040 line:15%
For example, you have normalized
396
00:15:22.040 --> 00:15:24.260 line:15%
pornography. What do you mean by that?
397
00:15:24.260 --> 00:15:26.330 line:15%
Yeah, well, I mean, it's so available
398
00:15:26.330 --> 00:15:27.980 line:15%
and accessible if you think about it.
399
00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:31.370
When I was younger, thankfully
you had to go to a store,
400
00:15:31.370 --> 00:15:33.560
you know, get a magazine
or something like that.
401
00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:35.960
Now this is available on your smartphone.
402
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.420
And it is an absolute, I mean, disease.
403
00:15:38.420 --> 00:15:39.650
It is, it is rampant.
404
00:15:39.650 --> 00:15:43.280
It's a poison in our culture
that's affecting relationships
405
00:15:43.280 --> 00:15:45.410
and our ability to have
healthy relationships.
406
00:15:45.410 --> 00:15:48.260
Young people at a very
young age are now introduced
407
00:15:48.260 --> 00:15:49.850
to this type of perversion.
408
00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:52.370
And it's, it, what it does
is it releases endorphins.
409
00:15:52.370 --> 00:15:55.190
It's like a crack. It's
like literally like a drug.
410
00:15:55.190 --> 00:15:56.780
And so we need to be delivered
411
00:15:56.780 --> 00:15:58.100
and set free and healed from this.
412
00:15:58.100 --> 00:16:00.350
But unfortunately, it's not
even talked about that much.
413
00:16:00.350 --> 00:16:01.880
'cause so many people walk in shame.
414
00:16:01.880 --> 00:16:04.640
So we have to understand
how alluring this system is,
415
00:16:04.640 --> 00:16:06.830
and that's the, the whole purpose of it.
416
00:16:06.830 --> 00:16:09.110
And then break free of it
so that we can be healthy
417
00:16:09.110 --> 00:16:10.760
and healed in Jesus' name.
418
00:16:10.760 --> 00:16:12.890 line:15%
Okay. You also write
about - Hookup Culture.
419
00:16:12.890 --> 00:16:14.510 line:15%
What in the world does that mean?
420
00:16:14.510 --> 00:16:16.760
Yeah, well, I mean, you
go to any club, any bar,
421
00:16:16.760 --> 00:16:18.530
and you know, some people
consider these clubs
422
00:16:18.530 --> 00:16:19.850
and bars their social circle.
423
00:16:19.850 --> 00:16:20.930
It's kinda like their church.
424
00:16:20.930 --> 00:16:22.280
I know this because at one point
425
00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:24.170
that was my life before the Lord saved me.
426
00:16:24.170 --> 00:16:26.090
So, you know, they go
to a club every night
427
00:16:26.090 --> 00:16:29.060
and they just find anybody,
I call it warm body syndrome,
428
00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:31.100
they find anybody and then they go ahead
429
00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:33.265
and hook up with that
person, meaning they,
430
00:16:33.265 --> 00:16:35.900
they have a promiscuous
sexual encounter with them
431
00:16:35.900 --> 00:16:37.280
and there's no meaning.
432
00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:39.080 line:15%
But what it does is it creates,
433
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.270
I believe, a soul tie type of environment
434
00:16:41.270 --> 00:16:44.360
where they're opening up their
members to this perversion
435
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.370
and demonic activity in their life.
436
00:16:46.370 --> 00:16:48.680
And so we, we've gotta stop that,
437
00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:51.950
but it's been normalized even
in the Christian culture.
438
00:16:51.950 --> 00:16:54.020 line:15%
Then you also write about redefining
439
00:16:54.020 --> 00:16:55.910 line:15%
marriage. Tell me about that.
440
00:16:55.910 --> 00:16:59.030
Yeah, so they've literally
tried to redefine marriage.
441
00:16:59.030 --> 00:17:00.050
The term, what is marriage?
442
00:17:00.050 --> 00:17:01.730
Marriage is between a man and a woman.
443
00:17:01.730 --> 00:17:03.860
A man shall leave his father and mother
444
00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:05.600
and you know, you shall
cleave what happened.
445
00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:07.430
Now they're saying a man can marry a man,
446
00:17:07.430 --> 00:17:09.230
A man can marry this pretty soon, Rick.
447
00:17:09.230 --> 00:17:12.020
They're gonna be saying a man
or a woman can marry a robot.
448
00:17:12.020 --> 00:17:13.490
I mean, this is where we're headed.
449
00:17:13.490 --> 00:17:14.510
And we have to understand
450
00:17:14.510 --> 00:17:17.390
that redefinition is
actually an open door.
451
00:17:17.390 --> 00:17:18.860
It's a slippery slope.
452
00:17:18.860 --> 00:17:20.900
And many people want to
say, oh, it's inclusion.
453
00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:23.540
We need to, it's just love
is love. No, that's demonic.
454
00:17:23.540 --> 00:17:25.250
That that's not the love of the father.
455
00:17:25.250 --> 00:17:27.680
So we have to understand what
the Bible says is the same
456
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.600
yesterday, today and forever.
457
00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:32.720 line:15%
And marriage should always
be between a man and a woman.
458
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.960 line:15%
You know, this whole di
idea of inclusion is paganism.
459
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.210 line:15%
If you went back to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd century,
460
00:17:38.210 --> 00:17:40.970 line:15%
it was all about inclusion. Yes, anything is fine.
461
00:17:40.970 --> 00:17:43.370
Do whatever you want to do
any way you want to do it.
462
00:17:43.370 --> 00:17:47.665 line:15%
It was pure paganism. That's
what inclusion is. Yes.
463
00:17:47.665 --> 00:17:50.370 line:15%
But then you mentioned gender confusion,
464
00:17:50.370 --> 00:17:52.470 line:15%
which I write about in my book called How
465
00:17:52.470 --> 00:17:54.660 line:15%
to Keep Your Head on Straight
and the World Going Crazy.
466
00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:57.270
But please tell me about gender confusion.
467
00:17:57.270 --> 00:17:59.250
Well, you know, there, there's nothing new under the sun.
468
00:17:59.250 --> 00:18:00.360
I mean, if you think about it, this is
469
00:18:00.360 --> 00:18:01.950
what was going on in Sodom and Gomorrah.
470
00:18:01.950 --> 00:18:04.110
And the Bible says in the last
days, it'll be like the days
471
00:18:04.110 --> 00:18:05.550
of Noah, as you know, and you've written
472
00:18:05.550 --> 00:18:06.930
many times about in your book.
473
00:18:06.930 --> 00:18:09.360
But this is what we're seeing
is the spirit of the age.
474
00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:12.450
The spirit of antichrist is
increasing more perversion.
475
00:18:12.450 --> 00:18:15.330
The devil is always counterfeiting what God intended.
476
00:18:15.330 --> 00:18:18.300
God intended us to go be
fruitful and multiply.
477
00:18:18.300 --> 00:18:21.240
If you see it, birth rates are down. In western cultures
478
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.220
right now where, you
know, between abortion
479
00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:24.780
and same sex marriage
480
00:18:24.780 --> 00:18:26.760
and all these different
things, these are all pushed
481
00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:28.500
because the enemy is of death.
482
00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:30.480
He...wants to take away life.
483
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:31.650
God is a god of life.
484
00:18:31.650 --> 00:18:33.990
So that's, it's all a spiritual battle.
485
00:18:33.990 --> 00:18:35.880
And a lot of people think
these things are political.
486
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:37.290
They're not political. That's why we need
487
00:18:37.290 --> 00:18:41.100 line:15%
to talk about them from our
pulpits and take this head on.
488
00:18:41.100 --> 00:18:42.780 line:15%
You know, I gotta tell
you that I live in Russia.
489
00:18:42.780 --> 00:18:44.610
This studio is in Russia,
490
00:18:44.610 --> 00:18:47.160
and the Russian society is
looking at what's happening in
491
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.230
the West about gender confusion.
492
00:18:49.230 --> 00:18:51.090
And they're just wagging
their heads in amazement.
493
00:18:51.090 --> 00:18:53.940
They can't understand it,
they're baffled that anything
494
00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:56.730
so illogical and foolish
could be embraced.
495
00:18:56.730 --> 00:18:59.130
It really is demonic.
496
00:18:59.130 --> 00:19:02.100 line:15%
But then you talk about
sorcery and the occult.
497
00:19:02.100 --> 00:19:05.910 line:15%
Now you write that this makes
many people uncomfortable.
498
00:19:05.910 --> 00:19:10.080 line:15%
But actually when you come to Isaiah 47:
499
00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:14.460
12-13, about the spirit of the Babylonian system,
500
00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:16.890 line:15%
it says - Stand now with your enchantments
501
00:19:16.890 --> 00:19:18.565 line:15%
and the multitude of your sorceries.
502
00:19:19.590 --> 00:19:21.660
And according to the scripture,
503
00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:24.570
the Babylonian system is filled with a lot
504
00:19:24.570 --> 00:19:26.190
of sorcery and the occult.
505
00:19:26.190 --> 00:19:28.980
And you've got specifically listed here several things:
506
00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:33.780
astrology, tarot cards, manifestation practices,
507
00:19:33.780 --> 00:19:36.090
and then you have listed
new age spirituality
508
00:19:36.090 --> 00:19:38.220
and good witches no such thing.
509
00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:40.980
They're all evil and demonic.
But let's go through these.
510
00:19:40.980 --> 00:19:42.060
So we have astrology.
511
00:19:42.060 --> 00:19:45.540
Everybody understands that: Tarot cards tell us
512
00:19:45.540 --> 00:19:46.920
about tarot cards.
513
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.600
Yeah, I mean people are, you know,
514
00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:50.190
the Bible says the gift
come without repentance.
515
00:19:50.190 --> 00:19:51.600
There's people that are operating in a,
516
00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:52.650
in a prophetic gifting,
517
00:19:52.650 --> 00:19:54.510
but they're not giving from the Lord.
518
00:19:54.510 --> 00:19:56.160
It's a demonic, you know, they're,
519
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.220
they're speaking from flesh
and from the demonic realm.
520
00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:01.980
And unfortunately people are
looking to them for answers.
521
00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:04.110
And that's actually a way
that the devil will get you
522
00:20:04.110 --> 00:20:05.220
completely off course.
523
00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:07.980
So don't listen to those
folks. It's not of God.
524
00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:10.410
And you know, all of this
stuff that we just mentioned,
525
00:20:10.410 --> 00:20:12.240
I mean, if you think
about it, that's what's
526
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.290
happening around good witches.
527
00:20:13.290 --> 00:20:15.540
You got movies like
Twilight that are out there
528
00:20:15.540 --> 00:20:17.310
that even these young kids at a young age
529
00:20:17.310 --> 00:20:19.230
with the Harry Potter, Harry Potter
530
00:20:19.230 --> 00:20:20.610
and all that, I mean,
they're, they're told
531
00:20:20.610 --> 00:20:21.840
that these things are good.
532
00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:23.940
They're not good. They're,
they're opening a door
533
00:20:23.940 --> 00:20:26.790
to something that's very dark
and demonic in their life.
534
00:20:26.790 --> 00:20:29.430
Now there's a newer
phrase which people my age
535
00:20:29.430 --> 00:20:32.520
and older may not know, but you've gotta list it here:
536
00:20:32.520 --> 00:20:37.170
Manifestation practices. What in the world does that mean?
537
00:20:37.170 --> 00:20:39.540
Yeah, I mean, you got
all kinds of crazy stuff
538
00:20:39.540 --> 00:20:41.190
where people are talking to dead people
539
00:20:41.190 --> 00:20:42.990
and they're, they're
trying to manifest things.
540
00:20:42.990 --> 00:20:46.050
They're trying to teleport,
you know, they're playing
541
00:20:46.050 --> 00:20:48.280
with witchcraft and things that I believe.
542
00:20:48.280 --> 00:20:50.650
Well, we're in an era right
now, which is so interesting.
543
00:20:50.650 --> 00:20:52.000
I mean, you got CERN
544
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.270
and I believe that they're talking to demonic entities.
545
00:20:55.270 --> 00:20:57.490
They've, even, some of the
people that work at CERN have
546
00:20:57.490 --> 00:20:58.840
actually suggested this, that
547
00:20:58.840 --> 00:20:59.840
They're talking.
548
00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:01.300
Okay, so, so, so what is CERN?
549
00:21:01.300 --> 00:21:03.220
Many people are not
gonna know what that is.
550
00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:06.700
CERN is the large Hadron Collider that is in Europe,
551
00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:08.770
and it's a multi-billion dollar project.
552
00:21:08.770 --> 00:21:10.750
And basically what they're doing is
553
00:21:10.750 --> 00:21:13.180
they're, they're hitting atoms against each other and,
554
00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:14.920
you know, doing all these experiments.
555
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:16.630
But there's another thing
that's come out of there,
556
00:21:16.630 --> 00:21:18.940
you could look this up where
they said they've opened like
557
00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:20.740
little black holes or portals
558
00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:22.450
and some of the scientists
from there said,
559
00:21:22.450 --> 00:21:24.340
things are actually coming through.
560
00:21:24.340 --> 00:21:26.950
Is a really weird thing for
a scientist to say, well,
561
00:21:26.950 --> 00:21:30.130
it's not, because if you think
about it, I believe go ahead
562
00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:32.830
and there's a big statue of Sheba right
563
00:21:32.830 --> 00:21:33.830 line:15%
outside,
Isn't that correct?
564
00:21:33.830 --> 00:21:36.010
Right, right outside the
goddess of destruction.
565
00:21:36.010 --> 00:21:37.660
Okay, what, what, what's
the point of that?
566
00:21:37.660 --> 00:21:38.620
There's actually been somebody that's
567
00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:39.730
been murdered right there.
568
00:21:39.730 --> 00:21:41.830
I mean, there's really
weird stuff that's going on,
569
00:21:41.830 --> 00:21:44.020
but I think that this is an end time thing
570
00:21:44.020 --> 00:21:47.290
where folks are actually
talking to demonic beings
571
00:21:47.290 --> 00:21:49.390
and we're gonna see more of this portals
572
00:21:49.390 --> 00:21:51.010
and things like that opening up
573
00:21:51.010 --> 00:21:52.660
where these things are coming through
574
00:21:52.660 --> 00:21:54.190
and they're gonna say they're aliens,
575
00:21:54.190 --> 00:21:56.260
but there's demonic things as in the days
576
00:21:56.260 --> 00:21:57.880
of Noah, that's where we are.
577
00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.930
So we've gotta be alert
578
00:21:58.930 --> 00:22:00.670
and understand what's going on right now, Rick,
579
00:22:00.670 --> 00:22:03.370
they're saying that a spaceship is coming towards Earth
580
00:22:03.370 --> 00:22:05.590
and this is a mainstream story.
581
00:22:05.590 --> 00:22:07.240
What is that gonna look like? Right.
582
00:22:08.290 --> 00:22:10.480
Okay. The next point you
have listed, a characteristic
583
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.530 line:15%
of the Babylonian system is
luxury, excess, and greed.
584
00:22:14.530 --> 00:22:18.310 line:15%
And of course, in Revelation 18, it paints Babylon
585
00:22:18.310 --> 00:22:21.040 line:15%
as a system that is dripping
with wealth, luxury,
586
00:22:21.040 --> 00:22:23.590 line:15%
and indulgence. Tell us about that.
587
00:22:23.590 --> 00:22:25.990
Yeah, when I was in Hollywood, I hung around some
588
00:22:25.990 --> 00:22:27.640
of the most wealthy people in the world.
589
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.670
They were extremely well-known, famous, they had everything.
590
00:22:30.670 --> 00:22:34.180
But what I found, and this was
a big factor in my salvation,
591
00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:35.290
you know, in coming to Lord,
592
00:22:35.290 --> 00:22:36.580
because I saw that even
593
00:22:36.580 --> 00:22:38.290
with all those things, they were empty.
594
00:22:38.290 --> 00:22:40.510
They were broken. And the world will tell
595
00:22:40.510 --> 00:22:41.650
you this is success.
596
00:22:41.650 --> 00:22:43.120
My generation was lied to.
597
00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:45.310
We were told this is,
you know, you gotta get
598
00:22:45.310 --> 00:22:47.200
to this level and then you'll be happy.
599
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.120
And then it's like, no,
you're never actually happy.
600
00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:51.820
'cause the only true happiness
is found in Jesus Christ.
601
00:22:51.820 --> 00:22:54.040
So the world is always
gonna be a counterfeit.
602
00:22:54.040 --> 00:22:55.960
The enemy's always
trying to, it's temporal,
603
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:57.520
temporal happiness in things
604
00:22:57.520 --> 00:22:59.290
and you make idols of all these things,
605
00:22:59.290 --> 00:23:01.150
but there's, you're
never gonna be fulfilled.
606
00:23:01.150 --> 00:23:02.350
So if somebody's watching right now
607
00:23:02.350 --> 00:23:05.590
and they're saying, I feel that way, I never am fulfilled.
608
00:23:05.590 --> 00:23:09.370
Go get in a closet somewhere,
pray, ask the Holy Spirit
609
00:23:09.370 --> 00:23:11.500
to come and be in your heart.
610
00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:13.000
Ask the Lord Jesus in your life
611
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.430
and you will be truly fulfilled.
612
00:23:15.430 --> 00:23:17.530
Now you give 7 characteristics
613
00:23:17.530 --> 00:23:18.790
of the Babylonian system.
614
00:23:18.790 --> 00:23:20.920
Today we've only covered 5,
615
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:22.870
but if you'll please rejoin me next week, I want
616
00:23:22.870 --> 00:23:26.680
to cover the next two because
they are really important.
617
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:28.270 line:15%
I wanna talk about the spirit of the age
618
00:23:28.270 --> 00:23:30.490 line:15%
and how God is calling
us out of that system.
619
00:23:30.490 --> 00:23:32.680 line:15%
How do we live outside of that system?
620
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:35.080 line:15%
I think people are gonna
wanna know how do we do that?
621
00:23:35.080 --> 00:23:36.310 line:15%
But yet still live in the world.
622
00:23:36.310 --> 00:23:39.460 line:15%
Jesus said, I've called
you to be not of the world,
623
00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:40.600 line:15%
but yet you're in the world.
624
00:23:40.600 --> 00:23:41.805 line:15%
How do we do that?
625
00:23:41.805 --> 00:23:44.350 line:15%
And I want to talk to you
about that when we come back.
626
00:23:44.350 --> 00:23:45.950 line:15%
But right now we're outta time.
627
00:23:45.950 --> 00:23:47.570 line:15%
But I'll be back in just a moment
628
00:23:47.570 --> 00:23:49.070
and I'm going to pray for you.
629
00:23:49.070 --> 00:23:51.050 line:15%
You were born for this moment.
630
00:23:51.050 --> 00:23:53.210 line:15%
You're not a victim of the end times,
631
00:23:53.210 --> 00:23:56.270 line:15%
but a powerful weapon in the hands of God.
632

662
00:25:13.010 --> 00:25:15.230
This is Rick Renner and I'm standing in the foyer
663
00:25:15.230 --> 00:25:20.090
of our Moscow TV studio. In Matthew 28:19,
664
00:25:20.090 --> 00:25:24.770
Jesus said, go you therefore,
and teach all nations.
665
00:25:24.770 --> 00:25:28.160
We take that command very seriously.
666
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:30.980
And in fact, we believe it
is a command that Jesus gave
667
00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:32.540
to every single believer.
668
00:25:32.540 --> 00:25:34.670
He gave it to me, he gave it to you.
669
00:25:34.670 --> 00:25:37.880
We each have a responsibility
to take the gospel
670
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:39.530
and the trusted teaching of the Bible
671
00:25:39.530 --> 00:25:41.780
to the ends of the earth.
672
00:25:41.780 --> 00:25:43.790
And I'm so thankful for our partners
673
00:25:43.790 --> 00:25:46.880
because they help us do this.
674
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:49.640
We can teach, we can preach,
675
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:51.890
but it takes a lot of money to do the job.
676
00:25:51.890 --> 00:25:53.540
And our partners put the fuel in the
677
00:25:53.540 --> 00:25:55.700
tank so that we can do it.
678
00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:58.850
A partner is someone who regularly gives financially
679
00:25:58.850 --> 00:26:02.390
to the ministry. They give as they're led by the Lord,
680
00:26:02.390 --> 00:26:04.310
but they do it irregularly.
681
00:26:04.310 --> 00:26:07.010 line:15%
And if you're not a partner
yet, I want to invite you
682
00:26:07.010 --> 00:26:09.800 line:15%
to become a part of the
giving team with our ministry
683
00:26:09.800 --> 00:26:12.710 line:15%
to help us fulfill the great commission.
684
00:26:12.710 --> 00:26:16.580 line:15%
Jesus wants to use me, but
Jesus wants to use you.
685
00:26:16.580 --> 00:26:18.230 line:15%
People need to be reached.
686
00:26:18.230 --> 00:26:19.700 line:15%
They need the gospel
687
00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:22.040 line:15%
and they need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
688
00:26:22.040 --> 00:26:25.580 line:15%
So please pray about becoming
a partner with our ministry
689
00:26:25.580 --> 00:26:29.750 line:15%
and you can do so by calling
us or by going online.
690
00:26:29.750 --> 00:26:32.390 line:15%
And we're waiting to
hear from you right now.
691
00:26:35.750 --> 00:26:38.210 line:15%
Well, I told you this was
going to be exceptional today.
692
00:26:38.210 --> 00:26:41.360
Todd is so loaded with the word of God
693
00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:43.260
and so full of the Spirit
694
00:26:43.260 --> 00:26:46.410 line:15%
and my friends, when you read his book called, The Isaiah
695
00:26:46.410 --> 00:26:48.690 line:15%
Blueprint, it just exudes the spirit
696
00:26:48.690 --> 00:26:50.640 line:15%
of God and a revelation.
697
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:54.330 line:15%
It is so powerful. Wow.
I want you to read it.
698
00:26:54.330 --> 00:26:56.820 line:15%
And we're doing a series called
699
00:26:56.820 --> 00:26:58.230 line:15%
Prophetic View of the future.
700
00:26:58.230 --> 00:27:01.290 line:15%
Me and five of my younger
friends talking about
701
00:27:01.290 --> 00:27:05.370 line:15%
what God is doing and what we
expect him to do between now
702
00:27:05.370 --> 00:27:07.080 line:15%
and the end of the age.
703
00:27:07.080 --> 00:27:10.260 line:15%
You can find out about all
these things by calling us
704
00:27:10.260 --> 00:27:11.400 line:15%
or by going online.
705
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:13.290 line:15%
And please, when you reach out to us,
706
00:27:13.290 --> 00:27:15.450 line:15%
would you let us know how to pray for you.
707
00:27:15.450 --> 00:27:17.790 line:15%
We're waiting to pray for you.
That's not a trite statement.
708
00:27:17.790 --> 00:27:20.730 line:15%
I mean, we are waiting
for your email to show up
709
00:27:20.730 --> 00:27:23.040 line:15%
and for the phone to ring
so we can pray for you.
710
00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:26.640 line:15%
And right now, in Jesus'
name, I speak the blessing
711
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.220 line:15%
of God into your life.
712
00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:31.710 line:15%
Amen. Amen.
713
00:27:31.710 --> 00:27:33.840 line:15%
Hey, I'll see you tomorrow,
714
00:27:33.840 --> 00:27:38.010
but remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
715
00:27:38.010 --> 00:27:40.860
of a king is, there is power."
716
00:27:40.860 --> 00:27:43.140
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
717
00:27:43.140 --> 00:27:47.490
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
718
00:27:47.490 --> 00:27:49.680
Jesus has to give you.
719
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:53.730 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
720
00:27:53.730 --> 00:27:57.750 line:15%
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
721
00:27:57.750 --> 00:28:00.720 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
722
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.750 line:15%
and make me completely new.
723
00:28:03.750 --> 00:28:07.650 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
724
00:28:07.650 --> 00:28:12.650 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
725
00:28:13.110 --> 00:28:17.130 line:15%
I faithfully promise that I will serve you as my Lord
726
00:28:17.130 --> 00:28:18.750 line:15%
for the rest of my life -
727
00:28:19.650 --> 00:28:20.650 line:15%
Amen.

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:26.220 line:15%
