| Mike Signorelli - Hugh Ross Interview (Part 2) | January 23, 2026
  • How many people claim
  • 00:00:01.254 --> 00:00:02.589
  • To get saved, but their cravings never change.
  • 00:00:02.589 --> 00:00:06.426
  • You can scroll on your phone
  • 00:00:07.027 --> 00:00:08.661
  • For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
  • 00:00:08.661 --> 00:00:12.198
  • Something's gotta change because you say.
  • 00:00:13.066 --> 00:00:14.634
  • If it was about me, i would keep scrolling.
  • 00:00:14.634 --> 00:00:17.137
  • But it's about this density, so let me destroy.
  • 00:00:17.137 --> 00:00:20.807
  • Oh, come on, somebody.
  • 00:00:21.307 --> 00:00:28.181
  • Oh, oh oh.
  • 00:00:28.481 --> 00:00:33.620
  • And i think what i found too, in trying to debate people
  • 00:00:34.754 --> 00:00:36.756
  • And have like, really robust discussions is most people.
  • 00:00:36.756 --> 00:00:41.127
  • And maybe you can confirm this are only a few questions away from embracing christ.
  • 00:00:41.127 --> 00:00:46.366
  • And it's often not 50 questions.
  • 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.868
  • It's really just a few major questions.
  • 00:00:48.868 --> 00:00:51.137
  • Are there like some what are some of the major things i know you just referenced?
  • 00:00:51.137 --> 00:00:55.141
  • One of them are there's some others
  • 00:00:55.942 --> 00:00:57.677
  • That people use, some common things that people struggle as well.
  • 00:00:57.677 --> 00:01:00.013
  • They struggle with.
  • 00:01:00.013 --> 00:01:01.581
  • Genesis one, they think, hey, this is all scientific nonsense.
  • 00:01:01.581 --> 00:01:05.085
  • I said, yeah, probably because you're not applying the biblical testing method,
  • 00:01:06.653 --> 00:01:09.055
  • Aka the scientific method that always shocks him.
  • 00:01:10.056 --> 00:01:12.792
  • The scientific method actually comes from the pages of scripture.
  • 00:01:14.127 --> 00:01:16.396
  • Step one don't interpret and to identify the point of view.
  • 00:01:17.564 --> 00:01:21.401
  • Genesis 122 as a point of view, as god hovering on
  • 00:01:22.402 --> 00:01:25.772
  • The surface of the waters, below the clouds, not above the clouds.
  • 00:01:25.772 --> 00:01:30.477
  • Most skeptics think god is telling us his story from above the clouds.
  • 00:01:31.811 --> 00:01:35.682
  • And that perspective, genesis one is teaching a 100% scientific nonsense.
  • 00:01:37.183 --> 00:01:41.020
  • But put it correctly on the surface of the waters, it's 100% true.
  • 00:01:42.355 --> 00:01:46.059
  • And just just showing people quickly how that works out
  • 00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:49.829
  • Within just a few minutes i say, oh, the bible got it right
  • 00:01:50.997 --> 00:01:54.033
  • Thousands of years before scientists even discovered this.
  • 00:01:55.135 --> 00:01:57.937
  • Another one i like to use on my peers in astrophysics.
  • 00:01:59.005 --> 00:02:01.407
  • The bible is the only ancient book
  • 00:02:02.175 --> 00:02:03.610
  • That actually said we live in a big bang universe.
  • 00:02:03.610 --> 00:02:06.513
  • They say, well, show me the scriptures.
  • 00:02:06.513 --> 00:02:08.281
  • I show them, they say, wow, you're right.
  • 00:02:08.281 --> 00:02:10.617
  • This is the only book that actually said it thousands of years
  • 00:02:10.617 --> 00:02:14.354
  • Before scientists discovered it.
  • 00:02:14.988 --> 00:02:16.523
  • And the first scientists discovered it was a christian.
  • 00:02:16.523 --> 00:02:19.425
  • Astrophysicists.
  • 00:02:19.425 --> 00:02:22.395
  • Metro in 1925.
  • 00:02:22.762 --> 00:02:24.964
  • Wow. in 1925. yeah. wow.
  • 00:02:24.964 --> 00:02:27.667
  • That is amazing.
  • 00:02:27.667 --> 00:02:29.502
  • Isn't this awesome?
  • 00:02:29.502 --> 00:02:31.171
  • Are y'all getting something out of this?
  • 00:02:31.171 --> 00:02:33.473
  • What?
  • 00:02:33.473 --> 00:02:35.008
  • Scientific discovery keeps evolutionists awake at night?
  • 00:02:35.008 --> 00:02:37.977
  • Yeah, i debate a lot of evolutionary biologists.
  • 00:02:38.945 --> 00:02:41.614
  • That's why i ask. yeah.
  • 00:02:41.614 --> 00:02:43.349
  • It's like, have you ever considered the physics of the sun?
  • 00:02:43.349 --> 00:02:46.619
  • Okay, so what's the sun got to do with the evolution of biology?
  • 00:02:47.954 --> 00:02:50.089
  • Everything.
  • 00:02:50.423 --> 00:02:52.192
  • The sun gets brighter and brighter as it fuzes hydrogen to helium,
  • 00:02:52.192 --> 00:02:55.795
  • And light can only tolerate a 1% change in the brightness of the sun.
  • 00:02:57.197 --> 00:03:01.034
  • Now, what happens is, as the sun gets brighter and brighter,
  • 00:03:02.202 --> 00:03:05.705
  • We have these mass extinction events
  • 00:03:06.472 --> 00:03:08.441
  • Where life is removed from the earth and immediately new life appears.
  • 00:03:08.441 --> 00:03:13.046
  • But the new life is more efficient at pulling greenhouse gases
  • 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.050
  • Into the atmosphere.
  • 00:03:17.050 --> 00:03:18.551
  • So the sun gets a brighter and brighter life on planet
  • 00:03:18.551 --> 00:03:21.888
  • Earth becomes more and more efficient at removing these greenhouse gases.
  • 00:03:21.888 --> 00:03:26.392
  • To keep the temperature on the surface of the earth optimal for life.
  • 00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:30.396
  • Here's the bottom line only a mind that knows the future
  • 00:03:31.531 --> 00:03:34.033
  • Physics of the sun would know which life to remove from planet earth,
  • 00:03:34.033 --> 00:03:38.605
  • And which new life to replace it, and how often to do that.
  • 00:03:39.806 --> 00:03:42.475
  • Now, this is actually in psalm 104.
  • 00:03:43.276 --> 00:03:45.378
  • It's a property of how life to die off.
  • 00:03:45.378 --> 00:03:47.847
  • But god recreates and renews the face of the earth,
  • 00:03:47.847 --> 00:03:51.551
  • But only a mind that knows the future physics of the sun
  • 00:03:52.685 --> 00:03:55.355
  • Would be able to know which life to remove, which new life to bring in
  • 00:03:56.789 --> 00:03:59.025
  • An evolutionary mechanism would immediately get it wrong.
  • 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.662
  • And so i'm finding that's the most effective way
  • 00:04:03.663 --> 00:04:05.431
  • And the fastest way to convince people believe in biological evolution.
  • 00:04:05.431 --> 00:04:10.003
  • No, nature can't do it.
  • 00:04:10.503 --> 00:04:12.071
  • It takes god to pull that off.
  • 00:04:12.071 --> 00:04:14.073
  • Oh, it's so good, i love it.
  • 00:04:14.073 --> 00:04:17.510
  • You know, one of the things that i wrestled with was the pre humanoids.
  • 00:04:18.911 --> 00:04:21.247
  • I mean, that for me was major.
  • 00:04:21.881 --> 00:04:23.149
  • I don't know if it's because i look like one.
  • 00:04:23.149 --> 00:04:25.318
  • I don't know, you know, but that for me was tough
  • 00:04:25.318 --> 00:04:30.156
  • And it was your, it was the work that you've devoted your life
  • 00:04:31.357 --> 00:04:33.192
  • To in some seasons to write about that particular topic.
  • 00:04:33.192 --> 00:04:36.529
  • That just helped me greatly.
  • 00:04:36.529 --> 00:04:38.498
  • So if you could just quickly kind of tag that in, well, we see about a dozen
  • 00:04:38.498 --> 00:04:42.368
  • Different species of bipedal primates have preceded us, human beings.
  • 00:04:42.368 --> 00:04:47.206
  • But it's not an evolutionary path.
  • 00:04:47.974 --> 00:04:50.376
  • What we notice is that the brain size is like this.
  • 00:04:50.376 --> 00:04:54.047
  • As you go through the 6 million year history,
  • 00:04:54.981 --> 00:04:56.749
  • Their bipedal capability goes up and down like this.
  • 00:04:56.749 --> 00:05:00.219
  • So it's not an evolutionary path
  • 00:05:00.853 --> 00:05:02.255
  • Towards bigger brain and greater bipedal capability.
  • 00:05:02.255 --> 00:05:06.125
  • But one place where we do see a linear rise is the capacity
  • 00:05:07.327 --> 00:05:10.263
  • Of each successive species to hunt large bodied
  • 00:05:10.263 --> 00:05:14.067
  • Bird and mammal creatures.
  • 00:05:14.634 --> 00:05:16.969
  • And what's interesting, there are none of these bipedal
  • 00:05:16.969 --> 00:05:19.605
  • Primate species in north america, south america, australia.
  • 00:05:19.605 --> 00:05:24.677
  • And when humans came into those three continents, they quickly wiped out
  • 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.615
  • The large body burden of mammals that they needed to launch civilization.
  • 00:05:31.017 --> 00:05:34.721
  • Notice the humans in australia, north and south america.
  • 00:05:35.822 --> 00:05:38.458
  • They remain stuck in the stone age.
  • 00:05:39.258 --> 00:05:41.127
  • It took europeans
  • 00:05:41.127 --> 00:05:42.895
  • Bringing the animals that they needed to get out of the stone age.
  • 00:05:42.895 --> 00:05:45.932
  • Now, the extinction rate in australia, when humans entered
  • 00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:49.769
  • It was 94.5%.
  • 00:05:49.769 --> 00:05:52.772
  • The extinction rate in africa, where these,
  • 00:05:52.772 --> 00:05:56.209
  • All but one of these species existed was only 4.5%.
  • 00:05:57.243 --> 00:06:00.613
  • What was happening is god specially created
  • 00:06:01.481 --> 00:06:03.716
  • These different species, basically to train these animals.
  • 00:06:03.716 --> 00:06:07.787
  • When you see told by pedals, with weapons in their hands, run away.
  • 00:06:09.088 --> 00:06:11.891
  • And here's a biblical perspective.
  • 00:06:12.658 --> 00:06:14.527
  • God created birds and mammals to come to us and to serve and please us.
  • 00:06:14.527 --> 00:06:19.465
  • And so he created these bipedal primates to say, look,
  • 00:06:20.566 --> 00:06:23.536
  • These humans, they're going to be sinners and they're going to do your harm.
  • 00:06:25.037 --> 00:06:27.807
  • And so the bipedal primates basically trained them, hey, when you see them
  • 00:06:29.242 --> 00:06:32.445
  • Run away and notice these animals survive in europe, africa and asia,
  • 00:06:33.780 --> 00:06:37.550
  • They did not survive in north and south america and australia.
  • 00:06:38.751 --> 00:06:42.688
  • And each one of these species had a small population.
  • 00:06:43.756 --> 00:06:46.692
  • We're not talking millions, we're talking thousands.
  • 00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:49.996
  • It was thousands. they can't evolve.
  • 00:06:50.763 --> 00:06:52.632
  • And the evidence for that, we look at neanderthals, for example.
  • 00:06:52.632 --> 00:06:56.436
  • They were here from 400,000 years ago to about 40,000 years ago.
  • 00:06:57.737 --> 00:07:01.474
  • Their anatomy is the same throughout that whole period.
  • 00:07:02.608 --> 00:07:04.977
  • There's no evolution and their technology is the same there.
  • 00:07:06.179 --> 00:07:08.915
  • Technology. there is no technological advance.
  • 00:07:08.915 --> 00:07:11.818
  • When we humans come upon the scene within a few tens
  • 00:07:11.818 --> 00:07:15.154
  • Of thousands of years, we're putting people on the moon.
  • 00:07:15.154 --> 00:07:18.424
  • So our technology explodes.
  • 00:07:19.025 --> 00:07:21.060
  • Their technology was stagnant.
  • 00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:23.162
  • Yeah.
  • 00:07:23.162 --> 00:07:24.297
  • So it does show, that we do uniquely
  • 00:07:24.297 --> 00:07:26.999
  • Have the image of god for exceptional.
  • 00:07:26.999 --> 00:07:30.236
  • Oh, i love that.
  • 00:07:30.603 --> 00:07:32.538
  • That helped me greatly that that answer at a certain point in my journey
  • 00:07:32.538 --> 00:07:36.108
  • Was absolutely necessary. and you know what? it did.
  • 00:07:37.143 --> 00:07:38.578
  • And i want to speak from an emotional perspective.
  • 00:07:38.578 --> 00:07:41.314
  • It caused my trust in god to increase.
  • 00:07:41.314 --> 00:07:45.051
  • And i found great comfort in the fact that he had this whole thing figured out.
  • 00:07:46.552 --> 00:07:49.622
  • And it also made me realize that even the greatest
  • 00:07:50.623 --> 00:07:52.358
  • Iq is a pea sized intelligence compared to god's mind, you know?
  • 00:07:52.358 --> 00:07:57.163
  • And so thank you for the work that you've done to try to decode
  • 00:07:58.464 --> 00:08:00.032
  • Some of the decisions that our our master, our creator,
  • 00:08:00.032 --> 00:08:04.036
  • Has deployed in these different areas for our benefit.
  • 00:08:05.071 --> 00:08:08.140
  • Isn't it amazing?
  • 00:08:08.574 --> 00:08:09.709
  • So let's let's take a few questions.
  • 00:08:09.709 --> 00:08:12.411
  • Yeah.
  • 00:08:12.645 --> 00:08:14.080
  • Let me i'll, i'll just, restate it for the microphone.
  • 00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:16.349
  • So essentially he's asking about, you know, good versus evil, god versus satan.
  • 00:08:17.917 --> 00:08:21.120
  • You know, of course we talked about aliens last time.
  • 00:08:22.188 --> 00:08:23.356
  • Maybe that factors in somehow.
  • 00:08:23.356 --> 00:08:25.324
  • How would you respond to someone asking about the nature of the spiritual realm,
  • 00:08:25.324 --> 00:08:30.596
  • Angels, demons, which you've written a lot about as well?
  • 00:08:31.731 --> 00:08:33.666
  • I got a brand new book coming out within a few months.
  • 00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:36.168
  • It's about extraterrestrial life, uaps and,
  • 00:08:36.168 --> 00:08:40.673
  • Making the point god created two distinct species of intelligent life
  • 00:08:42.074 --> 00:08:45.778
  • We human beings that are constrained by the physics of the universe,
  • 00:08:47.113 --> 00:08:49.682
  • And angels who are not.
  • 00:08:50.182 --> 00:08:52.051
  • He's giving them the power to come into our realm and leave our realm.
  • 00:08:52.051 --> 00:08:55.488
  • And, one of the things which is we're talking about today
  • 00:08:56.622 --> 00:08:59.425
  • Is how we know we're not being visited by extraterrestrials like us,
  • 00:09:00.793 --> 00:09:04.764
  • Because the biggest spaceship that can travel through interstellar space
  • 00:09:06.198 --> 00:09:08.768
  • Without being totally destroyed by the particles that are
  • 00:09:09.902 --> 00:09:11.637
  • There, is about the size of a matchstick.
  • 00:09:11.637 --> 00:09:14.974
  • So, not even a bacterium is going to make it.
  • 00:09:15.908 --> 00:09:18.244
  • However, angelic beings are not constrained by the physics
  • 00:09:19.412 --> 00:09:22.415
  • Of the universe.
  • 00:09:22.415 --> 00:09:24.150
  • And one of the things we're noticing about the uap phenomena,
  • 00:09:24.150 --> 00:09:27.486
  • I've been studying them since i was 16.
  • 00:09:28.321 --> 00:09:30.456
  • About 99% of what people report to me.
  • 00:09:30.456 --> 00:09:33.759
  • It's either a natural phenomena or it's a human made phenomena,
  • 00:09:34.961 --> 00:09:37.530
  • But there's a 1% residual, and we notice about the 1% residual.
  • 00:09:38.731 --> 00:09:42.368
  • We can prove that they're real.
  • 00:09:43.002 --> 00:09:44.537
  • At the same time, we can prove that they're nonphysical.
  • 00:09:44.537 --> 00:09:47.974
  • So there's literally more than a thousand places in the world
  • 00:09:49.175 --> 00:09:51.644
  • Where you will always have been observed coming through the atmosphere,
  • 00:09:53.079 --> 00:09:55.615
  • Have more than 10,000mph, no
  • 00:09:56.215 --> 00:09:58.484
  • Sonic boom, no heat frictions observed.
  • 00:09:58.484 --> 00:10:01.854
  • If it's a physical object, you will get a sonic boom or a heat friction.
  • 00:10:03.255 --> 00:10:05.791
  • They crash into the earth.
  • 00:10:06.359 --> 00:10:07.927
  • You go to the crash site, you can see a shallow crater.
  • 00:10:07.927 --> 00:10:11.263
  • The vegetation is always damaged because you investigate the site.
  • 00:10:12.598 --> 00:10:16.035
  • No debris, no artifacts.
  • 00:10:16.535 --> 00:10:19.005
  • If it's a physical object, you're going to get artifacts.
  • 00:10:19.005 --> 00:10:21.707
  • You're going to get debris here, you get nothing.
  • 00:10:21.707 --> 00:10:24.710
  • And the other thing we notice is of people have close encounters
  • 00:10:24.710 --> 00:10:28.114
  • With these nonphysical but real entities.
  • 00:10:28.981 --> 00:10:31.017
  • It's always harmful.
  • 00:10:31.017 --> 00:10:32.785
  • The best they come away with is recurring, terrifying nightmares.
  • 00:10:32.785 --> 00:10:37.223
  • Worst case scenario, they get killed by the encounter.
  • 00:10:38.290 --> 00:10:40.693
  • So the really is, evil supernatural beings out there.
  • 00:10:41.761 --> 00:10:46.032
  • And, you know, we were just joking before,
  • 00:10:46.932 --> 00:10:48.801
  • We know these beings are there because.
  • 00:10:49.635 --> 00:10:52.138
  • Look on how much, crazy the world's politics is.
  • 00:10:52.138 --> 00:10:56.075
  • I mean, if it wasn't for interference, like,
  • 00:10:56.976 --> 00:10:58.944
  • You see, the book of daniel, politics would be a whole lot more rational.
  • 00:10:58.944 --> 00:11:03.049
  • So don't get too overwrought by politics.
  • 00:11:03.849 --> 00:11:05.685
  • There really is a supernatural battle going on.
  • 00:11:05.685 --> 00:11:08.487
  • And guess what?
  • 00:11:08.487 --> 00:11:09.388
  • We're part of that battle.
  • 00:11:09.388 --> 00:11:10.656
  • The world. yeah.
  • 00:11:10.656 --> 00:11:13.993
  • Now, along
  • 00:11:14.293 --> 00:11:16.429
  • Now, just as a quick tag to that, i believe that also you've observed
  • 00:11:16.429 --> 00:11:20.332
  • That there is, in cultures where there's an obsession with,
  • 00:11:20.332 --> 00:11:24.503
  • Maybe witchcraft or the supernatural.
  • 00:11:25.304 --> 00:11:27.039
  • There seems to be a disproportionate number of ufo reports.
  • 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:31.444
  • And so there's kind of an overlay between the the cultures obsession
  • 00:11:32.812 --> 00:11:35.681
  • With witchcraft and their, observations of ufos.
  • 00:11:35.681 --> 00:11:39.985
  • Right. there's something there.
  • 00:11:39.985 --> 00:11:41.921
  • I spoke on this to scientists,
  • 00:11:41.921 --> 00:11:44.223
  • In the soviet union when it was run by the communists.
  • 00:11:44.223 --> 00:11:47.760
  • And that was a time when their major research
  • 00:11:48.728 --> 00:11:50.563
  • Institutions were sponsoring called physics.
  • 00:11:50.563 --> 00:11:54.233
  • And so i'd be speaking to scientists for as many as 20% of them,
  • 00:11:55.534 --> 00:11:58.204
  • You could tell, were possessed by demons.
  • 00:11:58.204 --> 00:12:01.540
  • I went back in 1994 when the communists were no longer running the show.
  • 00:12:02.908 --> 00:12:06.445
  • That percentage had dropped less because they were no longer sponsoring,
  • 00:12:07.880 --> 00:12:10.583
  • Called physics research.
  • 00:12:11.083 --> 00:12:12.585
  • It was still there, but it was nothing like it was,
  • 00:12:12.585 --> 00:12:15.521
  • During the late 1980s.
  • 00:12:15.521 --> 00:12:18.090
  • So and that's, you know, you can see that,
  • 00:12:18.090 --> 00:12:21.494
  • Equatorial brazil, the percentage is way higher.
  • 00:12:22.495 --> 00:12:24.697
  • That's because people are practicing the occult to a much higher degree.
  • 00:12:26.165 --> 00:12:28.934
  • And when i'm sharing this book, close all the doors of the occult.
  • 00:12:30.236 --> 00:12:32.838
  • That'll be the end of these uap encounters that you have.
  • 00:12:34.006 --> 00:12:36.375
  • This is a testable hypothesis.
  • 00:12:37.009 --> 00:12:39.145
  • You know, get rid of the alcohol.
  • 00:12:39.145 --> 00:12:41.013
  • It won't happen. bring the alcohol into your light.
  • 00:12:41.013 --> 00:12:43.182
  • It will happen.
  • 00:12:43.182 --> 00:12:44.283
  • Wow. so good.
  • 00:12:44.283 --> 00:12:46.218
  • Okay, so i see the questions building up.
  • 00:12:46.218 --> 00:12:48.487
  • There's a very high likelihood
  • 00:12:48.487 --> 00:12:50.022
  • Where we're not going to be able to get to all the questions.
  • 00:12:50.022 --> 00:12:52.057
  • But let's take a few more and just step forward and say it loudly.
  • 00:12:52.057 --> 00:12:55.828
  • And then i'll repeat it.
  • 00:12:55.828 --> 00:12:57.363
  • So you have not watched our youtube interview, that was.
  • 00:12:57.363 --> 00:13:01.033
  • But you should, because he gave a brilliant answer.
  • 00:13:02.034 --> 00:13:03.903
  • But i think it's a i was going to ask that question tonight again, because
  • 00:13:03.903 --> 00:13:07.006
  • Selfishly, when i had him on my channel, that was my own question, like,
  • 00:13:07.006 --> 00:13:11.076
  • How does doctor hugh ross ask, answer the question of what happens when we die?
  • 00:13:12.678 --> 00:13:16.015
  • And, i love you.
  • 00:13:16.382 --> 00:13:18.050
  • I love your response, but let's.
  • 00:13:18.050 --> 00:13:19.885
  • So what happens when we die?
  • 00:13:19.885 --> 00:13:22.254
  • Well, first of all, it tells us in ecclesiastes he's
  • 00:13:22.254 --> 00:13:25.090
  • God has written eternity on the heart of every human being.
  • 00:13:25.090 --> 00:13:28.994
  • We all know deep down, when we pass from this life, we don't cease existing.
  • 00:13:30.496 --> 00:13:33.933
  • That's why people, fear death.
  • 00:13:34.567 --> 00:13:36.702
  • They fear judgment because they know that's not the end of everything.
  • 00:13:36.702 --> 00:13:40.172
  • And now, you know, when my dad was passing away,
  • 00:13:41.173 --> 00:13:43.475
  • He said, son, please tell me what it's like to die
  • 00:13:43.475 --> 00:13:46.612
  • Because i'm going to be facing that in a few days.
  • 00:13:46.612 --> 00:13:49.615
  • I said, well, dad, because you're a follower of jesus christ,
  • 00:13:49.615 --> 00:13:52.985
  • What you're going to notice a few days before you pass, you're going to start
  • 00:13:54.553 --> 00:13:57.690
  • Feeling confused because your body is shutting down, your organs.
  • 00:13:57.690 --> 00:14:02.027
  • And then a
  • 00:14:02.328 --> 00:14:04.330
  • But a day or two before you pass, you're going to think you're going to recover
  • 00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:06.999
  • Because the body basically stops, trying to support all the internal.
  • 00:14:08.334 --> 00:14:11.604
  • You feel warm, you feel wonderful.
  • 00:14:11.604 --> 00:14:13.706
  • That's a sign. it's going to happen really soon.
  • 00:14:13.706 --> 00:14:16.242
  • And you know, it's going to be within minutes
  • 00:14:16.242 --> 00:14:18.644
  • When you hear your name being called.
  • 00:14:18.644 --> 00:14:21.046
  • And jesus is wanting to give you a personal escort
  • 00:14:21.046 --> 00:14:24.583
  • Across this life to the next life.
  • 00:14:25.351 --> 00:14:27.519
  • And, you know, so if you're a follower of jesus christ, you won't die alone.
  • 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:32.391
  • Jesus will meet you and take you across that threshold.
  • 00:14:33.492 --> 00:14:35.828
  • And when you hear your name being called, you know, that's the time.
  • 00:14:37.196 --> 00:14:39.298
  • So jesus
  • 00:14:39.565 --> 00:14:42.034
  • Was most.
  • 00:14:42.034 --> 00:14:45.237
  • Amazing.
  • 00:14:45.504 --> 00:14:46.305
  • Thank you for that.
  • 00:14:46.305 --> 00:14:47.673
  • By the way, king david, set of verses in psalm 23.
  • 00:14:47.673 --> 00:14:50.209
  • Yea, yea, yea, though i walk through the threshold of death,
  • 00:14:51.377 --> 00:14:52.778
  • You will take me, you will guide me by the hand.
  • 00:14:52.778 --> 00:14:55.214
  • Indeed he does.
  • 00:14:55.214 --> 00:14:56.448
  • Oh, it's so beautiful every time.
  • 00:14:56.448 --> 00:14:58.384
  • Thank you so much. next.
  • 00:14:58.384 --> 00:14:59.885
  • Thank you so much for that question.
  • 00:14:59.885 --> 00:15:02.688
  • Okay, i love that question.
  • 00:15:02.688 --> 00:15:03.889
  • That's a leading question.
  • 00:15:03.889 --> 00:15:04.990
  • We call because you're framing it.
  • 00:15:04.990 --> 00:15:07.226
  • But that's i also was kind of like speaking towards that because the
  • 00:15:07.226 --> 00:15:11.330
  • There's a lot of conversations about noah's generation being paralleled
  • 00:15:11.330 --> 00:15:15.768
  • With the generation that we're in now.
  • 00:15:16.602 --> 00:15:17.970
  • Do you see, any any similarities between them and,
  • 00:15:17.970 --> 00:15:20.773
  • And what would be your warning
  • 00:15:21.407 --> 00:15:22.975
  • To christians or what would be your advice to christians?
  • 00:15:22.975 --> 00:15:24.877
  • Well, i take a more optimistic view because jesus said he would return
  • 00:15:24.877 --> 00:15:29.348
  • When we take the good news of salvation to all the people, groups of the world,
  • 00:15:30.916 --> 00:15:33.919
  • And we're now living at a time when the gospel literally is going worldwide.
  • 00:15:35.387 --> 00:15:39.391
  • To all the people groups telling us, i think the time is close,
  • 00:15:40.592 --> 00:15:43.495
  • But the bible also tells us when you see huge numbers of people
  • 00:15:44.697 --> 00:15:47.866
  • Coming to faith in jesus christ and all the people groups of the world,
  • 00:15:49.301 --> 00:15:51.737
  • That will be the same time when you'll see evil
  • 00:15:52.705 --> 00:15:54.406
  • Rising to a degree you've never seen before.
  • 00:15:54.406 --> 00:15:57.843
  • So there's going to be a real stark difference between evil and good.
  • 00:15:59.144 --> 00:16:01.780
  • I think we're seeing exponential signs for entering into that time.
  • 00:16:03.115 --> 00:16:06.652
  • But, you know, i don't think we're to wait for the return of the lord.
  • 00:16:07.987 --> 00:16:10.422
  • He's basically said as i'm coming back, when you followers of jesus christ
  • 00:16:11.890 --> 00:16:14.159
  • Complete the task.
  • 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:15.627
  • So and i had ralph winter in my class
  • 00:16:15.627 --> 00:16:18.998
  • That i teach, in the pasadena area, and he wrote a book basically saying
  • 00:16:20.432 --> 00:16:24.036
  • That evangelical christians today have the finances.
  • 00:16:25.104 --> 00:16:28.707
  • They got the technology, they got the people to fulfill
  • 00:16:28.707 --> 00:16:31.977
  • The great commission in less than ten years.
  • 00:16:31.977 --> 00:16:34.980
  • In fact, he said at one point, they can do it in five years.
  • 00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:37.950
  • All we lack is a motivation.
  • 00:16:37.950 --> 00:16:40.219
  • But so i look at our eye level, you, i see a lot of motivation.
  • 00:16:40.219 --> 00:16:44.390
  • I think we can get it done.
  • 00:16:44.990 --> 00:16:45.891
  • We can do it in manhattan.
  • 00:16:45.891 --> 00:16:47.459
  • We can do it worldwide right?
  • 00:16:47.459 --> 00:16:51.063
  • No one.
  • 00:16:51.296 --> 00:16:53.065
  • If you're near one of our campuses,
  • 00:16:53.065 --> 00:16:55.200
  • I want to give you a personal invitation to check out one church.
  • 00:16:55.200 --> 00:17:00.139
  • There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
  • 00:17:01.607 --> 00:17:04.743
  • If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
  • 00:17:05.744 --> 00:17:08.280
  • Let me just tell you, it's a powerful atmosphere
  • 00:17:09.281 --> 00:17:11.116
  • And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
  • 00:17:11.116 --> 00:17:15.054
  • So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at one
  • 00:17:15.054 --> 00:17:18.123
  • Church.
  • 00:17:18.123 --> 00:17:22.728
  • Let's do two more.
  • 00:17:23.162 --> 00:17:24.430
  • Okay. and then and then we're going to pray.
  • 00:17:24.430 --> 00:17:27.633
  • Okay.
  • 00:17:27.866 --> 00:17:29.401
  • So i think the question that you're asking is, have we found
  • 00:17:29.401 --> 00:17:31.103
  • The literal vestiges of noah's ark?
  • 00:17:31.103 --> 00:17:34.306
  • Okay.
  • 00:17:34.540 --> 00:17:35.674
  • It's all in chapter 14 of this book.
  • 00:17:35.674 --> 00:17:37.976
  • But i'll try to be brief in the sense that the bible tells us the ark came
  • 00:17:39.478 --> 00:17:42.714
  • To rest on the mountains of ararat, not mount ararat.
  • 00:17:42.714 --> 00:17:46.685
  • The mountains of ara covers about 100,000mi2.
  • 00:17:47.653 --> 00:17:50.889
  • I believe it came to rest in the mountains of ara, just north of nineveh.
  • 00:17:52.324 --> 00:17:55.494
  • And hey, it was made at a gopher wood which has a higher strength index.
  • 00:17:56.929 --> 00:17:59.998
  • And in case you would,
  • 00:17:59.998 --> 00:18:01.934
  • There's no way the people post-flood would have left that wood lying around.
  • 00:18:01.934 --> 00:18:05.871
  • It would have been way too valuable.
  • 00:18:06.638 --> 00:18:08.207
  • They would have taken the noah's ark apart and used it to build
  • 00:18:08.207 --> 00:18:11.110
  • Cities like nineveh and say, well, let's go to nineveh and find it.
  • 00:18:11.110 --> 00:18:14.947
  • There is a problem.
  • 00:18:15.414 --> 00:18:16.715
  • Nineveh was burned to the ground several times.
  • 00:18:16.715 --> 00:18:19.218
  • The best we're going to do is find the ashes of the wood of noah's ark.
  • 00:18:20.586 --> 00:18:23.355
  • So. and yeah, their stories are running around, that there's
  • 00:18:24.523 --> 00:18:27.526
  • A structure, near mount ararat that looks just like
  • 00:18:27.526 --> 00:18:31.330
  • The size of, mount ararat.
  • 00:18:31.330 --> 00:18:34.600
  • You know, it's a geological incline.
  • 00:18:35.367 --> 00:18:37.402
  • And there you see them all over my mountain alpine regions.
  • 00:18:37.402 --> 00:18:41.573
  • And, hey, my wife and i, we love mountaineering.
  • 00:18:42.541 --> 00:18:45.043
  • We do it every summer.
  • 00:18:45.544 --> 00:18:47.613
  • And i've seen many inclines here in north america that are closer to representing
  • 00:18:47.613 --> 00:18:51.950
  • Noah's ark than the one they're talking about in russia and armenia.
  • 00:18:53.285 --> 00:18:56.221
  • So it's a geological incline.
  • 00:18:56.855 --> 00:18:59.024
  • It's not the remains of noah's ark.
  • 00:18:59.024 --> 00:19:01.293
  • I don't think the remains of noah's ark will ever be found,
  • 00:19:01.293 --> 00:19:04.596
  • Because noah's ark was taken apart and used to build the cities of the plain.
  • 00:19:06.098 --> 00:19:09.201
  • We see described in genesis chapter 11.
  • 00:19:10.068 --> 00:19:12.905
  • Oh so good, pastor matt,
  • 00:19:13.405 --> 00:19:16.208
  • I'd love to gift this book to that gentleman that asked that question.
  • 00:19:16.208 --> 00:19:20.145
  • I'd love you.
  • 00:19:20.512 --> 00:19:21.947
  • So i'm assigning you chapter 14, and you have one week
  • 00:19:21.947 --> 00:19:24.283
  • And i want to arabian formatting for your paper.
  • 00:19:25.250 --> 00:19:28.353
  • Let's.
  • 00:19:28.587 --> 00:19:31.924
  • I think the book's going to be better than the movie.
  • 00:19:33.025 --> 00:19:34.293
  • I'm just saying, but excellent question.
  • 00:19:34.293 --> 00:19:37.196
  • And and, okay. did i say one more?
  • 00:19:37.963 --> 00:19:40.465
  • Okay.
  • 00:19:40.699 --> 00:19:41.333
  • Go ahead.
  • 00:19:41.333 --> 00:19:43.969
  • Okay, okay.
  • 00:19:44.303 --> 00:19:45.871
  • Hold on, hold on.
  • 00:19:45.871 --> 00:19:47.406
  • I would like to gift you a book for giving me a viral video,
  • 00:19:47.406 --> 00:19:51.743
  • Because i was going to ask that question.
  • 00:19:52.644 --> 00:19:55.948
  • So so i'm going to restate it for the cameras.
  • 00:19:56.915 --> 00:19:59.184
  • How do doctors you ross,
  • 00:19:59.685 --> 00:20:02.955
  • You only have till midnight.
  • 00:20:03.555 --> 00:20:04.990
  • So it is, doctor kuras, how do you explain dinosaurs?
  • 00:20:04.990 --> 00:20:10.329
  • Well, if you go to our youtube channel, you'll see two quick clips
  • 00:20:11.630 --> 00:20:14.132
  • That do that for you.
  • 00:20:14.633 --> 00:20:15.467
  • But i'll be brief, okay?
  • 00:20:15.467 --> 00:20:17.536
  • The bible doesn't mention dinosaurs.
  • 00:20:17.536 --> 00:20:20.205
  • It doesn't mention neutrinos either,
  • 00:20:20.205 --> 00:20:22.574
  • Because it uses vocabulary that all generations will understand.
  • 00:20:22.574 --> 00:20:26.778
  • The bible was written for all generations, and we only discovered dinosaurs
  • 00:20:28.280 --> 00:20:31.650
  • In the 1850s, so i would expect the bible to be silent on it.
  • 00:20:32.851 --> 00:20:36.021
  • Now. where do they fit?
  • 00:20:36.521 --> 00:20:38.323
  • They stood on creation day five between god creating the first sea
  • 00:20:38.323 --> 00:20:42.394
  • Animals and god creating birds and sea mammals.
  • 00:20:42.394 --> 00:20:47.065
  • Somewhere between those two is when god created the dinosaurs.
  • 00:20:48.233 --> 00:20:51.169
  • Where do they best fit in in scripture?
  • 00:20:52.004 --> 00:20:53.372
  • Psalm 104.
  • 00:20:53.372 --> 00:20:54.906
  • Psalm 104 is the longest of the creation psalms
  • 00:20:54.906 --> 00:20:58.310
  • And basically says, god packs our planet with as much life as possible
  • 00:20:59.711 --> 00:21:03.782
  • And as diverse as possible, so that we humans will have all the bio deposits
  • 00:21:05.284 --> 00:21:08.854
  • We need to launch our civilization.
  • 00:21:09.655 --> 00:21:11.990
  • And so, when conditions are appropriate
  • 00:21:12.791 --> 00:21:15.294
  • For god to create these really huge land animals,
  • 00:21:16.295 --> 00:21:18.830
  • He will create them because he's committed greatest diversity possible
  • 00:21:20.232 --> 00:21:23.335
  • That you can only have really big land animals
  • 00:21:24.236 --> 00:21:26.738
  • When you've got vast shallow seas.
  • 00:21:27.506 --> 00:21:29.474
  • And this happened all over north america, south america,
  • 00:21:29.474 --> 00:21:33.178
  • Australia, asia, and europe,
  • 00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:37.316
  • During three
  • 00:21:37.649 --> 00:21:39.518
  • Episodes where he had these huge shallow seas now without shallow seas,
  • 00:21:39.518 --> 00:21:43.722
  • The biggest land animal you can have is the size of an elephant.
  • 00:21:44.956 --> 00:21:47.192
  • Anything bigger than that will be catastrophically destroyed by the
  • 00:21:48.560 --> 00:21:51.263
  • Law of gravity.
  • 00:21:51.263 --> 00:21:52.864
  • I mean, notice in the nba, the taller the basketball player,
  • 00:21:52.864 --> 00:21:56.168
  • The more likely they are to be injured because they're long distance to fall.
  • 00:21:56.168 --> 00:22:00.806
  • When they trip, same thing's true of these animals,
  • 00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:04.509
  • But if you got shallow seas, the water provides the necessary buoyancy
  • 00:22:05.877 --> 00:22:09.481
  • That you can have a land animal that weighs 80 tons
  • 00:22:10.515 --> 00:22:13.151
  • And is 50ft tall and therefore won't injure itself.
  • 00:22:14.186 --> 00:22:17.322
  • So when you see jurassic park movies where it shows this t-rex
  • 00:22:18.523 --> 00:22:21.793
  • Running after a jeep at about 40 miles an hour, that can't happen.
  • 00:22:23.095 --> 00:22:26.198
  • There's no way an animal that big would be able to run that fast
  • 00:22:27.466 --> 00:22:30.035
  • And not do itself serious damage because of the law of gravity. so,
  • 00:22:31.436 --> 00:22:34.973
  • That's t-rex was
  • 00:22:35.340 --> 00:22:36.742
  • Basically hunting big dinosaurs in shallow seas
  • 00:22:36.742 --> 00:22:40.612
  • Where the water provides the necessary, buoyancy support.
  • 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.850
  • And so when did that happen?
  • 00:22:45.450 --> 00:22:47.719
  • Well, it happened between 230 and 66 million years ago.
  • 00:22:47.719 --> 00:22:52.858
  • That's when you had these vast shallow seas,
  • 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:55.660
  • And that's when said, okay, we got vast, shallow seas.
  • 00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:58.463
  • God created the diversity of animals to take advantage of those shallow seas.
  • 00:22:58.463 --> 00:23:03.268
  • And because of god doing this, packing the planet
  • 00:23:04.269 --> 00:23:06.371
  • With as much life as possible, as diverse as possible.
  • 00:23:06.371 --> 00:23:10.275
  • Look at all the coal, the oil and natural
  • 00:23:11.176 --> 00:23:13.111
  • Gas, the limestone, the marble that we have.
  • 00:23:13.111 --> 00:23:16.548
  • And if it wasn't for all those generations of life preceding us and getting buried,
  • 00:23:18.083 --> 00:23:22.020
  • We wouldn't be able to launch this global, high tech civilization
  • 00:23:23.355 --> 00:23:25.557
  • That enables us to take the gospel to the ends of the earth.
  • 00:23:26.725 --> 00:23:29.361
  • So god had it all in mind
  • 00:23:29.928 --> 00:23:31.797
  • That we be fulfilling the great commission when he created the dinosaurs.
  • 00:23:31.797 --> 00:23:36.234
  • Hey, join me for the trip of
  • 00:23:36.835 --> 00:23:38.804
  • A lifetime as we travel, retracing the apostle paul's steps.
  • 00:23:38.804 --> 00:23:43.442
  • Yes, right there where scripture was first written, right there
  • 00:23:43.442 --> 00:23:47.813
  • Where the early church was born.
  • 00:23:47.813 --> 00:23:49.714
  • We're going to go from site to site. i'm going to be teaching.
  • 00:23:49.714 --> 00:23:52.551
  • We're going to get to meet.
  • 00:23:52.551 --> 00:23:54.019
  • We're going to share some incredible meals together.
  • 00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:56.388
  • You're going to get to meet other people from around the world.
  • 00:23:56.388 --> 00:23:59.157
  • And this is an exclusive trip, okay.
  • 00:23:59.157 --> 00:24:01.626
  • Which means you've got to act now while there are still seats available.
  • 00:24:01.626 --> 00:24:05.864
  • So scan the qr code, tap the link and get your seat. now.
  • 00:24:06.998 --> 00:24:10.268
  • You are not going to regret it.
  • 00:24:10.268 --> 00:24:11.837
  • I can't wait to see you on this.
  • 00:24:11.837 --> 00:24:13.839
  • Retracing the apostle paul greece tours.
  • 00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:16.708
  • Come on land and sea.
  • 00:24:16.708 --> 00:24:18.510
  • It doesn't get any better than that. i'll see you there.
  • 00:24:18.510 --> 00:24:21.179
  • So i want to do this though.
  • 00:24:21.179 --> 00:24:22.914
  • And this.
  • 00:24:22.914 --> 00:24:23.849
  • This night has been amazing.
  • 00:24:23.849 --> 00:24:26.017
  • For me, it's been a dream come true.
  • 00:24:26.017 --> 00:24:28.186
  • I think about mike signally. you know, 25
  • 00:24:28.186 --> 00:24:31.289
  • Years ago when i first started reading that journey back to faith.
  • 00:24:31.289 --> 00:24:34.759
  • But i would be remiss if we did not take an opportunity
  • 00:24:35.894 --> 00:24:38.163
  • For those of you who are far from god,
  • 00:24:38.163 --> 00:24:41.666
  • And for those of you who have been dealing with doubt, skepticism,
  • 00:24:43.001 --> 00:24:45.537
  • And you're here because you're a seeker, you're here because,
  • 00:24:46.738 --> 00:24:49.875
  • You know, you're somebody that said, i want to push past the questions
  • 00:24:51.276 --> 00:24:54.613
  • Because i know god is faithful and i know his word is true.
  • 00:24:55.780 --> 00:24:58.817
  • But i need to remember there's only two options.
  • 00:24:59.784 --> 00:25:01.987
  • I'm either going to submit and surrender, or i'm going to rebel,
  • 00:25:03.321 --> 00:25:05.490
  • Because we know that god's word is true.
  • 00:25:06.358 --> 00:25:09.060
  • And i believe that that, you know, we have very similar stories,
  • 00:25:10.362 --> 00:25:12.931
  • And i'm living in your. yes.
  • 00:25:13.532 --> 00:25:15.200
  • And because you said yes and because you surrendered,
  • 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.303
  • And now there's many of you that may be living in my.
  • 00:25:19.404 --> 00:25:21.540
  • Yes, that founded church in manhattan on long island, new jersey.
  • 00:25:21.540 --> 00:25:26.511
  • What other campuses do we have here?
  • 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.681
  • Brooklyn. okay.
  • 00:25:29.681 --> 00:25:31.550
  • The brooklyn. true.
  • 00:25:31.550 --> 00:25:32.484
  • Well, let me forget.
  • 00:25:32.484 --> 00:25:34.853
  • But if you attend any one of our 7v1 campuses, you're living in my. yes.
  • 00:25:34.853 --> 00:25:40.258
  • Maybe not knowing that you're living in doctor hugh ross's. yes.
  • 00:25:41.526 --> 00:25:44.696
  • So there's a heritage.
  • 00:25:45.196 --> 00:25:46.598
  • There's a family lineage that we have by the spirit.
  • 00:25:46.598 --> 00:25:49.401
  • And so i want to invite you
  • 00:25:50.001 --> 00:25:52.704
  • To make the most important decision of your life.
  • 00:25:53.705 --> 00:25:56.107
  • And i'm not asking you, like, do you want to become a christian?
  • 00:25:57.342 --> 00:25:58.577
  • Do you want to?
  • 00:25:58.577 --> 00:25:59.978
  • I'm not asking you to become a member of the church.
  • 00:25:59.978 --> 00:26:02.447
  • I'm asking you, will you fully submit and surrender your life to jesus christ?
  • 00:26:03.949 --> 00:26:07.352
  • Romans chapter ten, verse nine says, confess with your mouth.
  • 00:26:08.553 --> 00:26:11.156
  • Believe in your heart that he is the messiah, and you will be saved.
  • 00:26:12.490 --> 00:26:15.226
  • And if you're here tonight and you're saying, okay,
  • 00:26:16.227 --> 00:26:19.598
  • I've heard enough, the holy spirit has been drawing me.
  • 00:26:20.732 --> 00:26:23.201
  • The holy spirit has has brought me to this place
  • 00:26:23.201 --> 00:26:26.605
  • So that i can fully surrender.
  • 00:26:26.605 --> 00:26:28.373
  • Would you just lift your hand and say, i want to surrender my life?
  • 00:26:28.373 --> 00:26:31.109
  • I want to give my life to jesus?
  • 00:26:31.109 --> 00:26:33.345
  • Come on, make a public declaration in this place.
  • 00:26:33.345 --> 00:26:37.649
  • Come on.
  • 00:26:37.916 --> 00:26:38.583
  • Praise god.
  • 00:26:38.583 --> 00:26:41.386
  • I really
  • 00:26:41.653 --> 00:26:43.054
  • Want to thank you for supporting this ministry.
  • 00:26:43.054 --> 00:26:45.056
  • Pray about what god would have you do.
  • 00:26:45.056 --> 00:26:47.626
  • We don't tell people what to give.
  • 00:26:47.626 --> 00:26:49.494
  • What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
  • 00:26:49.494 --> 00:26:53.932
  • That we do around the united states and around the world.
  • 00:26:53.932 --> 00:26:57.235
  • Whether it's distributing the gospel
  • 00:26:58.003 --> 00:26:59.571
  • In non-christian nations, even underground church networks,
  • 00:26:59.571 --> 00:27:03.608
  • Or providing disaster relief to areas most affected around the united states,
  • 00:27:05.110 --> 00:27:08.413
  • Many lives are being changed because of your generosity.
  • 00:27:09.547 --> 00:27:15.787
  • Your.
  • 00:27:16.021 --> 00:27:16.021
