Prominent men are preparing the way for the Antichrist. Men like Yuval Noah Harari and others are distorting the truth with lies, and this will culminate in the soon arrival of a world leader who will control the global economy and system of worship. The onset of mass surveillance, digital IDs, digital currency, and AI will soon make the unthinkable a reality.

Gutenberg printed the Bible in the middle of the 15th century. The the the printing press printed as many copies of
0:07
the Bible as Gutenberg instructed it. But it did not create a single new page.
0:14
It had no ideas of its own about the Bible. Is it good? Is it bad? How to interpret this? How to interpret that?
0:21
Um AI can create new ideas, can even write a new Bible. We you know
0:28
throughout history religions dreamt about having a book written by a
0:34
superhuman intelligence by a non-human entity. Every religion claims our book all the other books of the other
0:40
religions they humans wrote them but our book no no no no it came from some
0:46
superhuman intelligence. In a few years, there might be religions that are
0:51
actually correct. But just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI.
1:07
Hello friends, welcome to Concerning the Times. I'm Howard Green. And the man you just heard was Yuval Noah Harrari. And
1:15
he is a uh professor of history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He's
1:21
also a well-known intellectual. Has published several bestsellers including uh Sapiens and uh let's see what I have
1:28
my notes here. Uh 21 lessons for the 21st century and other books as well. a
1:34
well-known writer, speaker, intellectual, and he's also a very
1:39
frequent contributor and speaker to the World Economic Forum in Davos. He's been a speaker there several times, a
1:46
featured speaker several times. So, that sort of lets you know his background. And the reason I mention him is because
1:53
with the video clip we just watched. My subject for today and we're going to talk about this in the context of some
1:58
of the things that you've all Noah Harrari has said is this. The subject is
2:05
is the men that are preparing the way for Antichrist.
2:12
Just like John the Baptist prepared the way for our Lord Jesus, the same way he did what he did for Jesus and for his
2:19
purposes is the same thing that's happening through men and women today through people like you all know a Harrari that proliferate lies. They're
2:26
preparing the way for Antichrist. Before we really dig in, I want to make
2:31
two things clear before we talk about the video clip you just saw. And number one is this. I want you to understand
2:38
that there is no way I'm saying that you've all Noah Harrari is the
2:43
antichrist. I don't believe he is and that's not what I'm saying. Some people have speculated different people people
2:50
that have followed our ministry for a while know that I'm not into that. Making weird predictions and sensational statements. I think it's ridiculous. I
2:56
think it's unbiblical nonsense if we go there. However, what I am saying, it's him and
3:03
people like him that prepare the way for the beast system, for the antichrist
3:08
system, and proliferating lies about the Bible, twisting scripture, and basically
3:13
denying the the existence of God, attacking Christianity, Christianity vehemently. So, no, he's not the
3:20
Antichrist, I don't believe. And uh the other thing, too, is I want to uh we're going to talk about AI in the next few
3:25
minutes as we talk about the first video clip that you saw. But we're going to show a few more. And it's this.
3:30
Friends, I'm not against AI. I'll tell you where I stand in just a minute. But
3:35
here's the thing. AI is no different than my iPhone or this computer and this
3:42
camera uh and my microphone that I'm preparing this gospel podcast and video on to send the gospel out to um
3:49
different countries and different people around the United States and and people that we minister to and with.
3:56
AI is no different than than a TV, than a camera, than than uh any kind of technology than a computer.
4:03
All these things can be used for good or evil purposes. And and AI is no different. Like I said, we can use AI to
4:10
do many things for us, including research. Now, here's the thing. As a as a Christian preacher, I don't have AI
4:16
write my sermons. Okay? I don't believe that's right. I don't think we should. That's my personal belief. But I think I
4:22
can show you from scripture that we need to be under the uncction of the Holy Spirit. Anything else, not deceiving spirits, not other people's opinions,
4:29
but what the Bible says. And and thank you. I'll take God's word over my own opinion and over other people's opinions
4:35
and over certainly what AI would say as a conglomeration of opinions and go to God's word. But I do use AI occasionally
4:42
for research. And then what you do is you take that and you collate that and you look at you look at your sources.
4:48
You make sure they're from proper sources. say like Matthew Henry or Dave Hunt or or whoever some of your favorite
4:55
preachers of past or present are and you get biblical sources and then you make sure that they're proper sources. So no,
5:01
AI is not evil just the same way that people will misquote scripture and say, "Oh, see money the the love of money,
5:06
the love of money is evil." And they're right because they'll say money is evil. No, it's the love of money that's evil.
5:12
So again, we can use money to bless people and help homeless and get the gospel out and say we can use money to
5:19
abuse people and buy elicit drugs and and download porn or or whatever evil
5:25
people do. So we can use uh all these things for good purposes or for evil. AI
5:30
is no different. But I will say this now that we're coming into the meat of the matter, and that's the video clip that
5:35
you just saw, is I do believe that the Antichrist,
5:40
not saying emphatically, but I do believe the Antichrist will use all this technology we have like the flock
5:47
cameras that are that are proliferating out there, a digital ID that's that's coming and it's here in several
5:53
countries, and a digital currency, and certainly AI to to basically track
5:59
people around the globe. and build a system of commerce and a system of worship. And friends, I think
6:06
it's coming. And I do think that AI will play a big part of that. So again, like
6:11
I said, not saying that AI is evil, but I am saying this, we have to be careful like everything else, how we use things
6:18
and and what we accept as truth. Here's here's our filter. It has to go through
6:23
this word, the word of God. Anything that deviates from that, anything that misqu, twist it, we can throw it out.
6:29
Amen. So, thinking about the video, thinking about the things that Harrari
6:35
had said about AI writing a new Bible by some other worldly intelligence. Sure,
6:42
AI can write a Bible, but is it the infallible word of God? Of course, it's
6:47
not. Satan from the beginning has always twisted the truth. the times that he
6:54
lied to Jesus and tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness saying it is written and and and did God not say and and take
7:02
these stones and and you know if you do this and worship me. Satan has always
7:07
taken scripture and twisted it. And Jesus responded, "It is written." See,
7:14
Satan quoted scripture and friends, he knows it better than you and I. And
7:19
Jesus quoted scripture back. Satan takes scripture like any other false teacher or false prophet and twist it where it
7:26
sounds almost like the truth and it's not the truth. Anything that's almost truth is a lie. So that's what's
7:34
happening here. People will undermine the Bible, undermine what God said, and they'll twist that. And what's happening
7:40
with this beast system that's coming is the Antichrist is going to basically deceive the entire planet. I'm going to
7:46
read something to you out of Revelation chapter 13 uh 18, excuse me, Revelation
7:52
13 11-18 and we're going to talk about the beast system that's coming.
7:58
Here we go. Verse 11. Then I saw another beast, that's the false prophet, rising out of the earth. It had two horns like
8:06
a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. It exercises authority of the first beast and its
8:12
presence and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast. That's the antichrist
8:19
whose mortal wound was healed. It that's the false prophet performs signs and
8:24
wonders even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people. And
8:30
by the signs that it was allowed to work in the presence of the beast. Listen to this friends. It deceived those who
8:37
dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
8:44
And it, that's the false prophet, was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the
8:49
beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Here's the
8:57
economic part. It also causes all both great and small, both rich and poor, both free and slave to be marked on the
9:04
right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the
9:09
mark that is the name of the beast on his or the name of his number. So here's the
9:16
point I'm making. No man may buy or sell causes everyone to worship. Friends,
9:21
this is this is technology overload. This is this is China's social credit
9:27
score and and social spying, you know, two cameras or one camera for every two
9:32
people in China on steroids. This man is going to have control of the entire
9:38
planet uh for for a very short time. But the technology exists today. And I do
9:44
believe, not saying thus sayith the Lord, but I do believe and I can emphatically say I do believe that he's
9:49
going to use AI. He's going to use flock cameras, computers, digital ID, digital
9:54
currency, the whole thing to consolidate power. You say, what does this have to do with
10:00
uh you've all Noah Harrari and men and other people like him that discredit the Bible. It has everything to do with
10:06
them. Here's why. Because the beast system at its core,
10:14
it's built on lies. When people deny Jesus,
10:21
deny that there's a God, deny that Jesus is God's son, that is the spirit of Antichrist. As John the Apostle said,
10:29
you heard that Antichrist is coming. His spirit's already here and he's at work. And he is working right now, friends,
10:35
through people like you all know Harrari. people that say terrible things like AI is going to create a new Bible
10:42
and one day the religions might be correct basically by default saying Christianity
10:48
is incorrect. It flies in the face of gospel wisdom and actually contradicts
10:54
the very words of Jesus Christ. Let's continue. What he's saying is in line with the
11:00
things and the lies that the Antichrist will say. I'm going to show it to you right now from the Bible. Daniel 7:25,
11:06
the Bible says that he, Antichrist, will speak words against the most high. It's happening now. Daniel 11:36, he, that's
11:14
the Antichrist, will exalt himself above every god. How about this one? 2
11:20
Thessalonians 2:3, he Antichrist opposes and exalts himself above every so-called
11:28
god. And then Revelation 13 5 and 6, he has a
11:33
mouth uttering blasphemy and words. And friends, when you see men,
11:39
intellectuals, people like you've all Noah Harari discredit the Bible. And man, that is one of his favorite
11:45
subjects. Now, he's written and spoke about many things, but he always seems to gravitate back towards the Bible,
11:51
bashing the Bible. That's the Tanakh, that's the Old Testament, and that's the New Testament. Jews, his own people, and
11:58
Christians. But let's continue. So why is this so important in the context of what men
12:03
like Harrari are saying? Again, like I said, the spirit of Antichrist is already at work to discredit the Bible
12:10
and the one true God. And this is right out of Matthew 24.
12:15
What Jesus warned us about. Jesus warned about earthquakes, pestilences, diseases, famines, signs in the heavens.
12:22
He warns about those signs of the second coming one time, but he mentions from my
12:27
counting, he mentions spiritual deception at least in Matthew 24, at least three times and possibly four, but
12:34
certainly three times that I could see plainly. So deception is the big hallmark of what's to come. And it's
12:40
already here, friends. Am God. I am. Look, if I'm God, what does that
12:46
make you? Well, we always see in others what we see in ourselves.
12:52
I am God.
13:01
I am God. I am God.
13:06
I am God. I am God. God. I am God.
13:12
I am God. I am God. I am God. I am God.
13:17
I am God. God. I am God.
13:22
Before I play the second video clip, I want to go ahead and and kind of set
13:27
this up for you. We have you've all know a Harrari saying that the Bible is fiction. So already he's coming from
13:34
from the premise that the Bible is untrue. It's not divinely inspired or
13:39
written. That a bunch of men just dreamt this up, decided to write, you know, put down some nonsense on paper and it kind
13:45
of developed over centuries and centuries and see how it comes out. But that's not true. So, I'm going to again play this clip for you and I'll see you
13:51
on the other side. A chimpanzeee can say, "Look, there was a lion. Run away." Oh, look, there's a
13:57
banana. Let's take it. Humans can use their language not only to describe
14:03
reality, but also to create new realities, to create fiction. A human
14:10
can say, "Look, there's a lion." Or, "Look, there's a banana." But a human can also say, "Look, there's a god above
14:17
the clouds." And if you don't do what I tell you to do, God will punish you. And if you believe this fictional story,
14:25
then you will do what you are told to do. So, welcome back. So, what Herrari
14:30
asserts is the Bible is fiction. And how do we know this? Well, he said there's a a god in the clouds. There's a
14:36
God in the clouds that obviously this guy is made up. And then he asserts that
14:41
people manipulate people with the Bible. Now,
14:47
here's the thing. Partially correct because people will
14:53
use false teachers, bad preachers, hierlings, not shepherds will use the Bible to manipulate people. Whether it's
15:02
for power, whether it's for reputation, for greed, for money, for sex, for
15:08
whatever, we know it. Listen, we have false teachers out there manipulating the Bible and and creating lies. But it
15:13
doesn't discredit the scripture because all the things they do the Bible warns against. Amen.
15:19
But how shortsighted? Because there are people in government. There are people in higher education. There are people in
15:24
finance. There are people all over the world in their industry, in their whatever subject matter expert type
15:30
thing that they're in. They manipulate things as well. So you can manipulate basically anything for nefarious
15:37
purposes or for evil to hurt other people if you want to. It's not something that's indicative of of
15:42
Christianity. I would say it's the opposite when it comes to true Christianity. But there are some in in
15:48
the um not the true church, but the false church that'll do that. But to use
15:53
what evil people do to discredit to discredit scripture is just it's nonsensical.
16:00
So, let's continue. Before the next video clip, the other thing that really got to me is
16:06
he keeps using the word truth. He keeps saying truth and it's by a lot of
16:12
information and a lot of collective knowledge and and then he takes the Bible and he keeps saying fiction,
16:17
fiction, fiction. And what he's doing, friends, is he he's using worldly rhetoric to disqualify the word of God.
16:25
He calls it fiction. And we know that's simply not true. I'm going to go ahead and play the clip and we'll see you on
16:31
the other side as well. The biggest misconception about information
16:36
is that information is truth. Most information is not truth. The truth
16:43
is a is a very rare and costly and expensive type of information.
16:50
Let's think about images and portraits. Over the last 2,000 years, people have
16:56
created billions and billions of portraits of Jesus. And not a single one
17:02
of them is an authentic depiction because we have no idea how Jesus looked
17:08
like. There is not a single portrait made during his lifetime. And the Bible
17:13
doesn't say a single word about how he looked like. It's very easy to create fictional
17:21
information cuz you don't need to research anything. You don't need evidence. You just come up with
17:27
something and throw it. Okay friends. So basically there what we have Harrari doing is he he basically
17:34
zooms in on one subject. He takes the portraits the millions or as he says
17:40
billions of portraits of so-called pictures of Jesus painted over the last
17:45
two millennia and says that see see there this is all fiction because people don't actually have a the Bible doesn't
17:52
describe Jesus and and we have we have no idea what Jesus looked like. Now, here again, on the surface, we could be
17:59
silly and be cute because it's like, duh, obviously we don't have we didn't smartphones in the in the first century
18:05
or Polaroids to take a picture of Jesus and and here's what we have with us today. It's it's perfect, right? And
18:10
we're all taking selfies with the uh with the apostles and the the prophets and Jesus. That's not Listen, it can get
18:16
silly. Of course, we don't have anybody painting an accurate portrait of Jesus from that time or or exactly what he
18:22
looked like. But what he does again he takes something so nonsensical like that and says see there there there look at
18:28
these the way these lies proliferate and look at the way that affected Christianity.
18:34
Now on the other hand, he shows his ignorance by forgetting one thing. In
18:41
Isaiah 53:2, we do have a
18:48
sort of this abstract of Jesus, the suffering servant, where the Bible does say this, and it says in Isaiah 53:2
18:55
that he had no appearance or no majesty that we should desire him, that we
19:00
should look upon him as some uh translations say. But he had no at his
19:06
first coming he had no majesty, no form that we should um like sort of
19:12
adore him or look upon him. Um so that's biblically ignorant from him
19:18
to say we don't have any idea about Jesus or his appearance. We have some right there in the Old Testament, but it
19:24
gets very poignant in the New Testament because in Revelation 1, Revelation 1
19:30
and I'm going to look skip over here real quick and I'll read just a couple of things to you. And this is John on
19:37
the island of Patmas and he's caught up to heaven. And he turned see the voice that was speaking to him
19:44
and one standing in the midst of the lampstands like the son of man. Here's a
19:49
description of Jesus. He's clothed in a long robe with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs
19:56
of his head were white like wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of
20:02
fire. His feet were like burnished bronze. His voice was like the voice of many
20:08
waters. In his right hand, he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp
20:14
two-edged sword. And listen to this, friends. and his face was like the sun,
20:19
excuse me, the sun, the sun shining in full strength. Now,
20:24
there's a description of Jesus. And I know people have taken that and try to sort of make paintings and and I'm not going to go about what how I feel about
20:30
paintings about the Lord and all that. It's not really my thing and I don't really want to get into that. I do want to say this for a person that's supposed
20:37
to be this acclaimed historian like you all know Harrari to totally miss what Revelation 1 says and there's a very
20:44
important description of Jesus there that John tells us he saw him to miss
20:50
that and to say there's no biblical description of Jesus is just okay so you know where I'm coming from and then we
20:57
have another clip I'm going to play through it's clip four and in this clip Herrari basically
21:03
talks about the growth of Christianity and how he can't explain it. So I'll see you on the other side. Christianity become the most successful
21:09
uh uh religion in the world. We can't explain it. So why why this story about Jesus of
21:16
Nazareth and not you know the Roman Empire in the 3rd century uh CE uh was a
21:23
bit like I don't know California today like so many sects and subsects and
21:29
gurus and rel and like everybody has their own thing. Yeah. and you have, you know, thousands
21:34
of different stories competing. Why did Christianity come up on top? As a
21:41
historian, I don't have a kind of clear answer. You can read the sources and you
21:48
see how it it happened. Oh, this happened and then this happened and then Constantine adopted this and then this
21:54
and then this. But why? I don't think anybody has an as an answer to that. If you rewind the movie
22:02
of history and press play and you rewind and press play a 100 times, I think
22:08
Christianity would take over the Roman Empire in the world maybe twice out of a 100 times. It was such an unlikely thing
22:16
to happen. Morality is about uh reducing suffering in the world. You don't need
22:22
to believe in this god or that god in order to act morally. You need to have a
22:29
deep appreciation of suffering. I do think that we need spirituality as
22:35
against religion in all times in all cases. But but for me spirituality and religion are totally different things.
22:41
They are almost the opposite uh of one another. Uh spirituality is about
22:47
questions and religion is about answers. Spirituality is when you have this big
22:53
question like what is consciousness or what is the meaning of life or who am I
22:59
or what is the good and you go on a quest to find uh to find out the answer
23:06
to this question and you have the courage the willingness to go wherever
23:13
this question takes you because it's very important to you. Religion is about
23:19
answers. It's when somebody comes and says this is the answer you must believe
23:25
that if not you will burn in hell or we will burn you
23:30
and this inates the antithesis of of spirituality.
23:36
Okay friends, welcome back. I thought that clip was very important. I wasn't going to include it, but I decided to for this one reason because what we have
23:43
here with Harrari is him saying that um basic essentially warning about hell is
23:50
not spiritual that religion and he's basically calling out the Christian religion. He's talking about the mention
23:56
of hell. He's saying it's basically the opposite of spirituality. Well, friends, I would say that warning about heaven
24:03
and hell and eternity is the literal nucleus, the essence of spirituality.
24:10
Because here's the thing, we are going to live forever somewhere one day. And
24:15
the chief shepherd, the writer of this book, the Holy Spirit, God the Father, God the Son, saw fit
24:22
to mention hell many times in scripture. As a matter of fact, Jesus and his
24:27
teachings mentioned hell more than he mentioned heaven. And when you have this loving shepherd from Galilee warn about
24:35
hell as much as Jesus did, that should make us kind of get our attention and
24:40
say, "What's, you know, what's up with that? Why is this so important? What's he warning us about? Boy, eternity is
24:45
forever. I got to look at my own self. Look at how I live before holy God." But people like Harrari will basically
24:52
take that and say, "Oh, look at some kind of strange religion from the Mesopotamian times or the or the ancient
24:57
times of the Israelis and the Hebrew children and look at those early Christians. Boy, they really messed up. And look at all the translations of the
25:03
Bible. Look what they did." Friends, not true. Not true. And I'm going to basically sum this up with two words why
25:11
he's wrong. And it's this. It's Bible prophecy. Because you can take scripture, you can
25:18
go back through the entire Old Testament, the Tanakh and all the New Testament and see prophecies that were
25:24
written hundreds and thousand, 1200, 1500 years before they actually happened
25:30
and came to pass to the letter to the tea just like the Lord God said they would. countries rising and countries
25:37
falling, kings rising, kings being deposed, Jesus being born in a certain place and time under certain
25:43
circumstances in a certain way certain things done during his ministry being betrayed for s 30 pieces of silver doing
25:50
this doing that it friends these aren't coincidences this this is
25:56
the will of God this is God's plan this is history this is his will coming to
26:02
pass just as he wrote the Bible says Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
26:07
word will last forever. So,
26:14
here's the thing. The thing about what he said about heaven and hell, the thing about hell
26:21
and and of course, Noah Yuval Herrerari said this kind of talk is the antithesis of spirituality is wrong. Because
26:27
friends, there is the truth and there's a lie. Speaking of spirituality, what did Jesus say? Those who worship God
26:33
must worship him in spirit and in truth. That's true spirituality.
26:41
And then we're told in Galatians 5:17 to live by the spirit. Friends, the New
26:47
Testament, the Old Testament, the law and the prophets, the apostles, everything they they wrote, all these instructions in the Bible, all these
26:55
promises, these are meant to show us how to live in and by the spirit. It's his
27:00
power, not ours. So, the final clip I'm going to play for
27:05
you, and I'm going to basically tee it up here by saying this. Herrari talks about a Bible timeline. See, his whole
27:11
mode is to shoot holes in scripture, shoot holes in
27:16
this he calls a false notion of God and of Jesus, and attack us head on. And um
27:22
but we're going to do the same thing. I got to say something about that at the end, though. Let's play the clip and we'll see you on the other side. s have
27:27
a lot more power than the authors who create the content. It's very cheap to
27:33
create content. The really key point is what gets the attention. You know, I'll
27:39
give you an example from thousands of years ago that when Christianity began,
27:46
there was so many stories circulating about Jesus and about the disciples and
27:51
about the saints. Anybody could invent a story and said Jesus said it. And there was no Bible.
27:58
There was no New Testament in the time of Jesus or a 100 years after Jesus or even 200 years after Jesus. There are
28:05
lots and lots of stories and texts and parables. At a certain point, the
28:11
leaders of the Christian church in the 4th century, they said this cannot go on
28:16
like this. We have to have some order in this flood of information. Welcome back. And again, from this clip
28:23
here, I mean, I'm I'm just going to call it the way it is. Just like the pictures of Jesus, just just like him saying that
28:28
we had no idea of what Jesus looks like. The Bible does not mention anything about his appearance. We showed you from
28:33
Isaiah 53 and also Revelation 1 that that's simply not true. Here's the other thing. He is totally wrong on the canon
28:41
of scripture on the Bible timeline and when the uh the books of the Bible came together because what he said is at
28:46
Jesus time there was no Bible. Well, we know that's 100% hogwash and baloney
28:51
because Jesus quoted the law and the prophets. Matter of fact, Jesus said Moses and the prophets spoke of me.
28:59
Jesus talked about Jonah, talked about Daniel. We had we had the Old Testament.
29:04
We had the the law and the prophets. That's exactly what Jesus spoke from. Isaiah 53,
29:11
Micah, Daniel 7, I mean Genesis 3. I mean, Jesus is all through the
29:17
scriptures. They bear witness of me. He said the friends, the Bible, the Old Testament was already in place at the
29:22
time of Jesus. He quoted the Hebrew scriptures. They spoke of him. Anyway, so I just wanted to throw that out
29:29
there. And here's the other thing. He also says that the New Testament didn't come about until uh roughly the uh late
29:35
part of the 4th century, like the or maybe the 380s or 90s during the council of uh of Hippo or the Council of
29:42
Carthage. And that's another set of hogwash there. Yes, he did have a council. The Catholic Church did have a
29:48
council, but the actual early church, the first century church, we had the
29:54
basic cannon of scripture assembled and disseminated
30:00
most Bible scholars believe by AD 95 to AD 100. Friends, that's our scripture.
30:08
It was out there. maybe some maybe some uh councils or meetings on this or that
30:14
or should this be should that not be but the basic cannon of scripture that in the New Testament that was all complete
30:21
by AD95 to AD 100 most Bible scholars agree on that. So for someone to come
30:26
like a Johnny come lately and say oh no no no they had these writings that were sort of a mismatch and there were all
30:32
kinds of opinions about Jesus and it really didn't get together till about the 4th century. kids. Friends, it's another lie from the pit of hell. People
30:40
will do anything they can to discredit the Bible. Why do they do this?
30:46
It's secular humanism at its core. We know it's wrong. We know where it's evil. We know where it's heading. Now,
30:56
you've all know Herrari's primary purpose is discredit the Bible and believers. But I want to say a few words
31:02
about him and about other men and women that would do the same thing because this is very important. And I want to
31:07
make myself very clear about this. The Bible says to pray for your enemies.
31:13
And this is not Christian posturing. This is not virtue signaling. I'm telling you as a minister, as a preacher
31:19
of the gospel, as a fellow Christian, I don't hate you all no Herrari. In
31:25
fact, in the power of the Holy Spirit, I love the man. I love my enemies. I want
31:32
to see him come to the saving knowledge of the truth, come to saving faith in
31:37
Jesus to embrace as a Jew, to embrace his Messiah as Lord. That's what I want
31:45
for him. He's not my enemy. This guy, this intellectual over in Israel and doing the Torres and the TED talks, I'm
31:50
not afraid of him. I'm not threatened by him. We've had people that lie about scripture all through the centuries, and he's no different. But you see that
31:57
these people are are coming together more. They have bigger platforms. This beast system is being set up. So what
32:02
I'm saying is this. I look at him as someone who we need to pray for and say,
32:07
"Lord, show him the truth." He's always talking about the truth, but show them the truth. He is being lied to as well.
32:13
The god of this age has blinded the eyes of those who will not believe the truth.
32:18
He's blinding their eyes. Satan, he's doing it. Including Harraris. And I want to see his eyes opened. Wouldn't it be
32:25
amazing if some of these people, if all of them, but if some of these people actually had the scales fall off and
32:30
they come to saving faith in Jesus? That's my heart. Friends, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
32:36
spiritual powers and principalities and high places. Satan's the enemy, not other people. I pray for them.
32:44
But I will say this, still going to expose them. We're still going to expose their lies. We're still going to expose
32:49
the truth against the lies that are being told and warn you biblically. You could see it in the Bible. We just read
32:55
Revelation 13 and in Matthew 24 and several others in Daniel is that the the lie is here. The spirit of Antichrist
33:02
and the lie is coming. This strong delusion that's coming. See what's going to happen. There's a time coming when
33:08
all this is going to come together under one man. And I believe it's going to be come together through technology and AI
33:13
and cameras and digital IDs and currency. And one man's going to take that power. or he's going to harness it and all the lies that have been told
33:19
around him by the people like Harrari and others and consolidate power and he's going to cause the entire planet to
33:25
worship him because God's going to send a strong delusion that those who those
33:31
who didn't love the truth he's going okay then you're going to believe the lie and friends the lie is already here
33:39
it's just going to be widespread it's going to be worldwide before we know it's coming it's coming
33:45
So, why are we talking about this? And what's the bottom line?
33:52
If you're a Christian, I'm here to warn you about the massive spiritual deception that's here and that's being
33:58
proliferated. Because the Bible doesn't say that things are going to get better and better and we're going to win the world back at Jesus and boom, he's going
34:04
to come back and everything's going to be great. No, it says that things are going to get worse and worse. It says the Antichrist is going to make war on
34:11
the saints and he's going to prevail for a time. Things look very bleak.
34:18
But friends, it's not going to go on forever. When I see the world going headlong into hell, believing the lies
34:24
of people like Harrari and Darwin and and many others and false preachers and false teachers and cultists and others,
34:31
it lets me know that their time is short. Satan's time is short. And we have to lovingly go out and warn people.
34:38
It's a very loving thing to warn people to snatch them out of the fire and go out into the highways and hedges and the
34:43
on the internet and and different places and compel people lovingly to come in. That's what we should do as Christians
34:49
and reason with them from the scriptures like we did today. We showed the lies. We refute it with the truth.
34:57
So that's our job as Christians is to go out there and interdict Satan and try to bring people to saving faith in Jesus. Do it through prayer. Do it through
35:03
fasting. do it through reading your word and actually going out and evangelizing and discipling people. Amen.
35:10
But friends, if you don't know Jesus, you hear this message like this and you're like, "Man, this podcast, this
35:15
video, I I knew that there were people that hated God and hated the Bible. I didn't realize it was this this
35:20
prolific." And maybe you're a person out there that has never made Jesus your Lord, but you have a certain amount of
35:26
respect for God. Yeah, I believe there's a God. And I know there's somebody out there or something out there. You might even call yourself spiritual. Can I warn
35:33
you lovingly, my friend? It's people like you all know Harrari
35:38
and the Charles Darwins and the other people that will take what looks they
35:45
will take truth, excuse me, and they'll twist it to something else and make it look like
35:51
the truth. So, it's got smatterings of religion, it's got smatterings of spirituality, and you'll say, "You know
35:56
what? That sounds about right." And then you're deceived slowly, slowly, slowly until you crash
36:04
into eternity and you find yourself in the wrong side of a holy God who loves
36:09
you and sent his son to die for you. And friends, again, we don't check our brains in the door. We don't check our
36:16
personalities or our minds at the door. We use intellect. We read the Bible. We can say, "Yes, this Bible is accurate.
36:23
The prophecies are true." All these things the Lord said would happen happened. Jesus did rise from the dead.
36:29
Yes, I do believe it. And well, okay, knowing this, how do I make it my own? What do I do? I'm going to tell you.
36:35
It's very simple. It's the most profound thing in the world in history. But it's also very simple. If you would come to
36:42
the end of yourself, see yourself as God sees you as a hopeless sinner
36:49
beyond help of your own, totally wretched, totally dirty, totally sinful.
36:55
You come to a place of repentance. That's how you see yourself. You It's a change of mind primarily and then a
37:02
change of heart. Oh, I I thought I was right. I thought the people at Harari were right. I thought that this world
37:07
system is right. And I realize, no, I had it wrong. I was believing the lie. I realize God is right. And I'm the
37:13
problem. The problem isn't out there. The problem's in here in my heart. I'm the sinner. I've got to change. I can't
37:19
go make the world a better place. I got to change myself. I've got to come to the end of myself. And friends, when you
37:24
do that, when you confess your sin before a holy God, and you confess with your mouth that his
37:31
son Jesus is Lord, and you believe inside of your heart that God the Father did raise him, that's Jesus, from the
37:38
dead, the Bible says you'll be saved. You'll be a new man, a new woman, a new young person, new boy or new girl, new
37:46
college age student. He'll give you a new heart, give you a
37:51
new life. When you do that, friends, you can look at the lies that are already out there and the lie that's coming upon
37:57
the earth and have biblical Holy Spirit discernment. God will be living inside
38:02
of you through his Holy Spirit that when you hear another lie like that, like God's this or the Bible's that, it's all
38:07
hogwash. And you'll say, "No, it's not true. I know it's not true because here's where it says it's not true, and
38:12
the Holy Spirit lets me know it's not true. The Bible's true. God is right. You're wrong."
38:19
Then you'll begin to have a heart for people that have not come to the truth yet. You want to go out there and witness to them and bring them in as
38:24
well. That's God's heart. That's the heart of Jesus. That's the Christian's heart is not to hate people like you've
38:31
all Noah Harrari, but to pray for people like him to
38:36
to plead for their souls really and and ask the Lord to bring them in. Ask the Lord to open their eyes. That's the
38:42
heart of the Lord. Friends, another heavy topic today. I know that. But um one that I want you to think about that
38:48
I want you to keep your eyes open. This is when we can just say, "All right, that was that subject and it's about people like you all know a Harrari and
38:55
the beast system coming and AI and how does it all come into?" Okay, that was interesting. Howard, I want you to keep
39:00
your eyes wide open and as things come upon the world, as you see these things coming together, it's convergence of
39:07
signs like Jesus called birth painans. You'll say, "Yeah, that totally makes sense. I can see how this is going to
39:12
happen. I can see why this is going to happen. I'm reading my Bible. I understand through Bible prophecy what's happening. I understand we're this
39:18
close. You can discern this the times and the seasons. And friends, finally,
39:23
before we go, two things. If you just gave your heart to the Lord,
39:29
you heard what I said. You said, "Yes, I want that to be me. I just repented. I asked Jesus to be my savior." Please
