  • Dr. david jeremiah: are we living in the end times?

  • There may have never been another time in history
  • 00:00:39.612 --> 00:00:42.415
  • When endtimes prophecy has been more aligned with the culture
  • 00:00:42.415 --> 00:00:46.719
  • And circumstances of the world than it is today.
  • 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:53.326
  • I believe there are ten phenomena
  • 00:00:53.326 --> 00:00:55.595
  • We are witnessing today
  • 00:00:55.595 --> 00:00:57.030
  • That were recorded centuries ago in bible prophecy.

  • Dr. jeremiah: are the public cries for shared wealth
  • 00:01:27.393 --> 00:01:29.629
  • And government control a sign of the end times?
  • 00:01:29.629 --> 00:01:33.533
  • Many of the troubles we're seeing today in our culture
  • 00:01:33.533 --> 00:01:36.069
  • Can be tied to the growing foothold of specific ideologies.
  • 00:01:36.069 --> 00:01:41.074

  • "socialism: a cultural prophecy."
  • 00:16:05.437 --> 00:16:07.573
  • Dr. jeremiah: under the cover of darkness, a middle-aged man
  • 00:16:09.375 --> 00:16:13.178
  • Inched out of the window of his 7th-story apartment
  • 00:16:13.178 --> 00:16:17.349
  • And then silently rappelled 75 feet to the ground.
  • 00:16:17.349 --> 00:16:21.954
  • A pair of bolt cutters snipped off his ankle monitor,
  • 00:16:21.954 --> 00:16:25.791
  • And the man jumped into a waiting car.
  • 00:16:25.791 --> 00:16:28.961
  • No, this is not a movie.
  • 00:16:28.961 --> 00:16:31.163
  • After 15 years of imprisonment on bogus charges,
  • 00:16:31.163 --> 00:16:35.267
  • Ivan simonovis was escaping from venezuela.
  • 00:16:35.267 --> 00:16:40.873
  • In 2014, ivan had been moved to house arrest
  • 00:16:40.873 --> 00:16:44.343
  • To seek treatment for 19 chronic health conditions,
  • 00:16:44.343 --> 00:16:47.613
  • Most of which had been caused by his imprisonment.
  • 00:16:47.613 --> 00:16:51.784
  • Knowing this was his only chance,
  • 00:16:51.784 --> 00:16:54.520
  • He arranged his daring escape.
  • 00:16:54.520 --> 00:16:57.056
  • And after speeding off in a car, he spent 3 weeks
  • 00:16:57.056 --> 00:16:59.925
  • Evading security in a cat-and-mouse pursuit.
  • 00:16:59.925 --> 00:17:04.029
  • A 14-hour ride in a small fishing boat got him
  • 00:17:04.029 --> 00:17:07.266
  • To a caribbean island, and from there,
  • 00:17:07.266 --> 00:17:09.868
  • He flew to the united states.
  • 00:17:09.868 --> 00:17:13.505
  • Ivan could recall when venezuela was the wealthiest nation
  • 00:17:13.505 --> 00:17:17.843
  • In south america.
  • 00:17:17.843 --> 00:17:20.079
  • The per capita income of its citizens
  • 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.014
  • Was greater than those of china and japan,
  • 00:17:22.014 --> 00:17:24.516
  • Almost rivaling the income of u.s. citizens.
  • 00:17:24.516 --> 00:17:28.821
  • The people of ivan's generation enjoyed religious liberty
  • 00:17:28.821 --> 00:17:32.491
  • And political freedom and personal dignity
  • 00:17:32.491 --> 00:17:35.260
  • And economic opportunity.
  • 00:17:35.260 --> 00:17:37.996
  • But when the oil prices crashed in the 1980s
  • 00:17:37.996 --> 00:17:41.600
  • And then again in the '90s,
  • 00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:43.335
  • The venezuelan economy experienced a dip,
  • 00:17:43.335 --> 00:17:45.838
  • And then that dip became a dive in 1998,
  • 00:17:45.838 --> 00:17:49.808
  • And the venezuelan people elected hugo chavez
  • 00:17:49.808 --> 00:17:53.011
  • As their president.
  • 00:17:53.011 --> 00:17:55.581
  • Once in power, chavez relentlessly implemented
  • 00:17:55.581 --> 00:17:58.250
  • The socialist playbook formulated by the soviet union,
  • 00:17:58.250 --> 00:18:01.887
  • Cuba and china, and other nations.
  • 00:18:01.887 --> 00:18:05.090
  • His first task was to rewrite the venezuelan constitution,
  • 00:18:05.090 --> 00:18:09.728
  • Guaranteeing citizens the so-called free rights
  • 00:18:09.728 --> 00:18:12.498
  • Of government: provided healthcare,
  • 00:18:12.498 --> 00:18:15.868
  • Free college education, and social justice.
  • 00:18:15.868 --> 00:18:19.872
  • When the supreme court ruled against chavez
  • 00:18:19.872 --> 00:18:22.374
  • On several important issues,
  • 00:18:22.374 --> 00:18:24.176
  • He responded by stacking the court with 12 new justices,
  • 00:18:24.176 --> 00:18:28.714
  • All of which were loyal to him.
  • 00:18:28.714 --> 00:18:32.151
  • Socialism totally engulfed the country when chavez
  • 00:18:32.151 --> 00:18:35.187
  • Was re-elected in 2006.
  • 00:18:35.187 --> 00:18:37.990
  • Fully in control of the courts and the legislature,
  • 00:18:37.990 --> 00:18:40.459
  • He moved quickly to nationalize the media,
  • 00:18:40.459 --> 00:18:43.762
  • Removing every voice of dissent.
  • 00:18:43.762 --> 00:18:46.732
  • Then he authorized government agencies to seize privately
  • 00:18:46.732 --> 00:18:49.968
  • Owned wealth and property from venezuela's citizens,
  • 00:18:49.968 --> 00:18:54.173
  • All in the name of fairness and equity.
  • 00:18:54.173 --> 00:18:58.043
  • Chavez took control of the nation's oil industry.
  • 00:18:58.043 --> 00:19:00.679
  • He expelled all the foreign investors.
  • 00:19:00.679 --> 00:19:03.482
  • He nationalized power companies and farms and mines
  • 00:19:03.482 --> 00:19:06.585
  • And banks and grocery stores,
  • 00:19:06.585 --> 00:19:08.787
  • And his final step was to eliminate term limits
  • 00:19:08.787 --> 00:19:12.491
  • For elected officials, setting himself up to rule
  • 00:19:12.491 --> 00:19:15.761
  • For the rest of his life in the style of russia's stalin
  • 00:19:15.761 --> 00:19:20.966
  • And cuba's castro.
  • 00:19:20.966 --> 00:19:23.402
  • Does any of this sound familiar to you?
  • 00:19:23.402 --> 00:19:27.906
  • Not even chavez could evade the last enemy.
  • 00:19:27.906 --> 00:19:31.076
  • He died from cancer in 2013, but his hand-picked successor,
  • 00:19:31.076 --> 00:19:35.814
  • Nicolas maduro, continued to implement chavez's agenda,
  • 00:19:35.814 --> 00:19:40.686
  • Even going further in some areas to force a marxist system
  • 00:19:40.686 --> 00:19:44.990
  • On the venezuelan people.
  • 00:19:44.990 --> 00:19:47.492
  • Today, venezuela is descending into anarchy.
  • 00:19:47.492 --> 00:19:52.064
  • Record numbers of venezuela migrants are fleeing northward,
  • 00:19:52.064 --> 00:19:56.101
  • Trying to reach the border of the united states.
  • 00:19:56.101 --> 00:20:00.005
  • Right now, you may be wondering what all of this
  • 00:20:00.005 --> 00:20:02.574
  • Has to do with you.
  • 00:20:02.574 --> 00:20:04.710
  • I mean, if venezuela has proven that socialism is a bad idea,
  • 00:20:04.710 --> 00:20:08.247
  • Why should anybody care?
  • 00:20:08.247 --> 00:20:10.882
  • Well, you should care.
  • 00:20:10.882 --> 00:20:12.718
  • You should really care, because socialist visions and policies
  • 00:20:12.718 --> 00:20:16.722
  • Are invading the united states.
  • 00:20:16.722 --> 00:20:19.691
  • You'll hear it discussed under four different names.
  • 00:20:19.691 --> 00:20:22.494
  • Some people call it socialism, communism, marxism,
  • 00:20:22.494 --> 00:20:27.432
  • And cultural marxism.
  • 00:20:27.432 --> 00:20:31.403
  • Consider this.
  • 00:20:31.403 --> 00:20:33.005
  • Hugo chavez had plenty of cheerleaders
  • 00:20:33.005 --> 00:20:35.240
  • In the united states during his rise,
  • 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.310
  • Including hollywood stars like sean penn, michael moore,
  • 00:20:38.310 --> 00:20:42.314
  • Oliver stone, and danny glover.
  • 00:20:42.314 --> 00:20:45.217
  • Socialism seems to hold some sort of hypnotic power
  • 00:20:45.217 --> 00:20:48.820
  • Over many thinkers,
  • 00:20:48.820 --> 00:20:50.756
  • And it's spilling into the common culture.
  • 00:20:50.756 --> 00:20:53.725
  • A 2020 poll showed that 40% of americans
  • 00:20:53.725 --> 00:20:57.262
  • Had a favorable view of socialism.
  • 00:20:57.262 --> 00:21:01.066
  • This was up from 36% in 2019.
  • 00:21:01.066 --> 00:21:04.303
  • And even more frightening, 47% of the millennials
  • 00:21:04.303 --> 00:21:08.173
  • And 49% of generation z view socialism favorably.
  • 00:21:08.173 --> 00:21:14.146
  • Indeed, one 2019 poll found in "axios" that 61% of americans
  • 00:21:14.146 --> 00:21:20.352
  • Between the ages of 18 and 24 have a positive reaction
  • 00:21:20.352 --> 00:21:24.556
  • To socialism.
  • 00:21:24.556 --> 00:21:27.292
  • And then there's this.
  • 00:21:27.292 --> 00:21:29.161
  • In 2020, bernie sanders nearly won the democratic party's
  • 00:21:29.161 --> 00:21:32.264
  • Nomination for president of the united states, and this is the
  • 00:21:32.264 --> 00:21:35.367
  • Same senator from vermont who publicly declared,
  • 00:21:35.367 --> 00:21:38.170
  • "i am a socialist and everybody knows it."
  • 00:21:38.170 --> 00:21:43.175
  • When jesus was describing what it would be like on earth
  • 00:21:43.175 --> 00:21:46.712
  • Just before he returned, here's what he said:
  • 00:21:46.712 --> 00:21:51.616
  • "but as the days of noah were,
  • 00:21:51.616 --> 00:21:54.152
  • So also will be the coming of the son of man.
  • 00:21:54.152 --> 00:21:57.923
  • For as in the days before the flood,
  • 00:21:57.923 --> 00:21:59.958
  • They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
  • 00:21:59.958 --> 00:22:02.627
  • Until the day that noah entered the ark,
  • 00:22:02.627 --> 00:22:04.796
  • And did not know until the flood came
  • 00:22:04.796 --> 00:22:06.832
  • And took them all away, so also will the coming
  • 00:22:06.832 --> 00:22:10.369
  • Of the son of man be."
  • 00:22:10.369 --> 00:22:13.939
  • What were those days of noah like?
  • 00:22:13.939 --> 00:22:16.274
  • Genesis 6:5 describes them this way:
  • 00:22:16.274 --> 00:22:19.010
  • "then the lord saw that the wickedness of man
  • 00:22:19.010 --> 00:22:21.580
  • Was great in the earth, and that every intent
  • 00:22:21.580 --> 00:22:25.150
  • Of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
  • 00:22:25.150 --> 00:22:30.389
  • The people of noah's day ignored and ridiculed his warnings.
  • 00:22:30.389 --> 00:22:35.260
  • Noah built and preached for 120 years,
  • 00:22:35.260 --> 00:22:38.063
  • And not one single individual outside of his immediate family
  • 00:22:38.063 --> 00:22:41.700
  • Believed him.
  • 00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:43.068
  • The people were so indifferent that they didn't understand
  • 00:22:43.068 --> 00:22:45.270
  • What was happening until it was too late.
  • 00:22:45.270 --> 00:22:49.741
  • The heedlessness of the people of noah's day will be duplicated
  • 00:22:49.741 --> 00:22:54.012
  • In the last days of our world's history.
  • 00:22:54.012 --> 00:22:56.882
  • It will be a day much like ours, a day when ideologies
  • 00:22:56.882 --> 00:23:00.552
  • Like socialism can sneak in without much attention.
  • 00:23:00.552 --> 00:23:05.657
  • Will this be the political philosophy on the earth
  • 00:23:05.657 --> 00:23:08.627
  • When the tribulation begins?
  • 00:23:08.627 --> 00:23:10.729
  • I believe it will.
  • 00:23:10.729 --> 00:23:12.831
  • Socialism is tailor-made for the antichrist's appearance.
  • 00:23:12.831 --> 00:23:17.068
  • It creates global conditions that bring great stress
  • 00:23:17.068 --> 00:23:19.838
  • And trouble, difficult days that will be hard to bear.
  • 00:23:19.838 --> 00:23:23.875
  • And it demands a one-world system of government,
  • 00:23:23.875 --> 00:23:27.245
  • Which scripture says will be established
  • 00:23:27.245 --> 00:23:29.347
  • Before the end of history.
  • 00:23:29.347 --> 00:23:31.683
  • Revelation 13 describes the antichrist as a beast
  • 00:23:31.683 --> 00:23:35.187
  • Having vast power and authority.
  • 00:23:35.187 --> 00:23:38.056
  • "the whole world marveled and gave allegiance to the beast.
  • 00:23:38.056 --> 00:23:42.761
  • And he was given authority to rule over every tribe
  • 00:23:42.761 --> 00:23:45.964
  • And people and every language and nation.
  • 00:23:45.964 --> 00:23:50.769
  • And all the people who belong to the world."
  • 00:23:50.769 --> 00:23:54.339
  • There's coming a day when there will be a leader
  • 00:23:54.339 --> 00:23:56.141
  • Who will be in charge of the whole world.
  • 00:23:56.141 --> 00:23:59.077
  • So i've introduced all of this, and i've talked about socialism
  • 00:23:59.077 --> 00:24:02.614
  • A couple of times.
  • 00:24:02.614 --> 00:24:04.316
  • What is socialism?
  • 00:24:04.316 --> 00:24:06.418
  • Well, socialists believe that the world's means of production,
  • 00:24:06.418 --> 00:24:10.288
  • Like infrastructure, farms, factories, energy,
  • 00:24:10.288 --> 00:24:13.558
  • Natural resources, medicines, and more
  • 00:24:13.558 --> 00:24:16.528
  • Should be under the control of,
  • 00:24:16.528 --> 00:24:18.463
  • Quote, unquote, "the people."
  • 00:24:18.463 --> 00:24:21.299
  • In other words, society as a whole should own
  • 00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:24.503
  • All the raw materials and the systems that produce wealth.
  • 00:24:24.503 --> 00:24:28.306
  • In a free market system, these materials are controlled
  • 00:24:28.306 --> 00:24:31.209
  • By companies or individuals, but in socialist countries,
  • 00:24:31.209 --> 00:24:35.680
  • They are owned by "the people."
  • 00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:40.018
  • Of course, there's no way to make decisions
  • 00:24:40.018 --> 00:24:42.320
  • Based on such a loose concept as "the people."
  • 00:24:42.320 --> 00:24:46.258
  • So under socialism, "the government"
  • 00:24:46.258 --> 00:24:49.261
  • Becomes the sole authority and controller
  • 00:24:49.261 --> 00:24:52.664
  • And the means of production.
  • 00:24:52.664 --> 00:24:54.432
  • Unfortunately, governments are controlled by specific people,
  • 00:24:54.432 --> 00:24:58.770
  • Often the kinds of people who seek out power.
  • 00:24:58.770 --> 00:25:02.307
  • And those people are entirely corruptible by greed
  • 00:25:02.307 --> 00:25:05.110
  • And selfishness, lust and vindictiveness, and violence,
  • 00:25:05.110 --> 00:25:08.713
  • And the overwhelming desire for power.
  • 00:25:08.713 --> 00:25:11.917
  • As more power flows to the government,
  • 00:25:11.917 --> 00:25:14.352
  • The handful at the top become dictatorial.
  • 00:25:14.352 --> 00:25:18.823
  • To understand socialism as it is in our culture today,
  • 00:25:18.823 --> 00:25:22.327
  • We must first understand the originator of socialism
  • 00:25:22.327 --> 00:25:25.764
  • As we know it.
  • 00:25:25.764 --> 00:25:27.832
  • He was a man by the name of karl marx.
  • 00:25:27.832 --> 00:25:31.202
  • When you understand who he was and what he believed,
  • 00:25:31.202 --> 00:25:35.307
  • You will be able to trace a lot that's going on in our world
  • 00:25:35.307 --> 00:25:38.577
  • Today right back to him.
  • 00:25:38.577 --> 00:25:41.446
  • If you study the life of karl marx,
  • 00:25:41.446 --> 00:25:43.214
  • You'll learn that he wasn't just a hater of god.
  • 00:25:43.214 --> 00:25:46.351
  • He was a cheerleader for the devil.
  • 00:25:46.351 --> 00:25:49.120
  • His family thought him possessed by a demon.
  • 00:25:49.120 --> 00:25:52.991
  • A biographer described him like this:
  • 00:25:52.991 --> 00:25:55.927
  • "he had the devil's view of the world
  • 00:25:55.927 --> 00:25:58.763
  • And the devil's malignity.
  • 00:25:58.763 --> 00:26:00.799
  • Sometimes he seemed to know that he was accomplishing
  • 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.069
  • The works of evil."
  • 00:26:04.069 --> 00:26:06.705
  • On one occasion, marx's own son sent him a letter
  • 00:26:06.705 --> 00:26:10.642
  • And addressed it to, "my dear devil."
  • 00:26:10.642 --> 00:26:14.346
  • Marx's partner, friedrich engels,
  • 00:26:14.346 --> 00:26:16.748
  • Declared that 10,000 devils had marx by the hair.
  • 00:26:16.748 --> 00:26:22.320
  • Marx was a tyrant, a racist, and a misogynistic radical
  • 00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:26.591
  • Who hated god and wanted to see the world burn.
  • 00:26:26.591 --> 00:26:30.428
  • In his 1837 poem, "the pale maiden,"
  • 00:26:30.428 --> 00:26:34.132
  • He composed these words.
  • 00:26:34.132 --> 00:26:35.834
  • This is his poem.
  • 00:26:35.834 --> 00:26:37.636
  • "thus, heaven i've forfeited.
  • 00:26:37.636 --> 00:26:39.804
  • I know it full well.
  • 00:26:39.804 --> 00:26:41.906
  • My soul, once true to god, has been chosen for hell."
  • 00:26:41.906 --> 00:26:47.812
  • He knew in his own life that he was an evil man.
  • 00:26:47.812 --> 00:26:52.651
  • In 1849, one year after publishing
  • 00:26:52.651 --> 00:26:55.120
  • "the communist manifesto," marx was evicted by his landlord
  • 00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:59.057
  • Who was fed up with his filthiness.
  • 00:26:59.057 --> 00:27:01.826
  • Karl drank too much, he smoked too much,
  • 00:27:01.826 --> 00:27:03.895
  • He never exercised,
  • 00:27:03.895 --> 00:27:05.497
  • And he suffered from warts and boils
  • 00:27:05.497 --> 00:27:07.399
  • Due to the lack of washing.
  • 00:27:07.399 --> 00:27:09.668
  • He stunk.
  • 00:27:09.668 --> 00:27:11.569
  • As for the family apartment, everything was broken down,
  • 00:27:11.569 --> 00:27:14.572
  • Busted, spilled, smashed, falling apart,
  • 00:27:14.572 --> 00:27:17.208
  • With toys and chairs and dishes and cups
  • 00:27:17.208 --> 00:27:19.177
  • And tables everywhere.
  • 00:27:19.177 --> 00:27:21.846
  • Karl marx fathered an illegitimate child by his maid,
  • 00:27:21.846 --> 00:27:25.517
  • Helene demuth.
  • 00:27:25.517 --> 00:27:27.285
  • He blamed the child on his partner, engels,
  • 00:27:27.285 --> 00:27:30.288
  • Who thought it was a great joke.
  • 00:27:30.288 --> 00:27:32.824
  • Since marx never had a job, he mooched off everyone,
  • 00:27:32.824 --> 00:27:35.960
  • His parents, engels, and anyone else he could find.
  • 00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:40.598
  • His wife jenny was so miserable in their marriage,
  • 00:27:40.598 --> 00:27:42.867
  • She wanted to die, a wish she pondered daily.
  • 00:27:42.867 --> 00:27:47.105
  • His daughters, jenny and laura, fulfilled their mother's wish.
  • 00:27:47.105 --> 00:27:50.675
  • Jenny poisoned herself when she was 43,
  • 00:27:50.675 --> 00:27:53.478
  • And in a death pact with her husband,
  • 00:27:53.478 --> 00:27:55.647
  • Laura also committed suicide.
  • 00:27:55.647 --> 00:27:59.617
  • Karl marx died in despair on march 14, 1883.
  • 00:27:59.617 --> 00:28:04.422
  • Just before his death, he wrote to his friend engels,
  • 00:28:04.422 --> 00:28:08.526
  • "how pointless and empty is life,"
  • 00:28:08.526 --> 00:28:10.929
  • He said, "and yet how desirable."
  • 00:28:10.929 --> 00:28:13.598
  • He was buried in the highgate cemetery,
  • 00:28:13.598 --> 00:28:15.867
  • Considered the center of satanism in london.
  • 00:28:15.867 --> 00:28:20.605
  • Now, i've given you that little report on this man
  • 00:28:20.605 --> 00:28:23.007
  • Because i can't help but wonder
  • 00:28:23.007 --> 00:28:24.943
  • How many people who are championing socialism
  • 00:28:24.943 --> 00:28:28.146
  • And marxism are aware of the poisonous roots
  • 00:28:28.146 --> 00:28:31.483
  • Of their belief.
  • 00:28:31.483 --> 00:28:33.985
  • Their founder was a hideous person,
  • 00:28:33.985 --> 00:28:36.921
  • And what he was, socialism became.
  • 00:28:36.921 --> 00:28:41.426
  • Today, karl marx is ruling the world from his grave.
  • 00:28:41.426 --> 00:28:45.296
  • And here are some of the characteristics of his ideology.
  • 00:28:45.296 --> 00:28:48.299
  • Number one, marxism is anti-god.
  • 00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:52.370
  • Karl marx hated christianity,
  • 00:28:52.370 --> 00:28:56.541
  • Which he saw as a source of oppression.
  • 00:28:56.541 --> 00:28:59.043
  • To him, religion was the opium of the people.
  • 00:28:59.043 --> 00:29:02.881
  • For communism to succeed, loyalty to the church
  • 00:29:02.881 --> 00:29:06.284
  • Had to be replaced by loyalty to the state.
  • 00:29:06.284 --> 00:29:09.454
  • On one occasion, he described the church
  • 00:29:09.454 --> 00:29:11.489
  • As "medieval mildew that had to be scraped away."
  • 00:29:11.489 --> 00:29:16.995
  • In spite of what many claim to believe or propose,
  • 00:29:16.995 --> 00:29:20.331
  • Marxism is incompatible with the free expression of religion.
  • 00:29:20.331 --> 00:29:25.503
  • I don't think you can be a christian socialist,
  • 00:29:25.503 --> 00:29:28.907
  • A christian marxist.
  • 00:29:28.907 --> 00:29:30.842
  • The things that are involved in these two understandings
  • 00:29:30.842 --> 00:29:34.779
  • Are totally opposite.
  • 00:29:34.779 --> 00:29:37.182
  • They contradict each other.
  • 00:29:37.182 --> 00:29:39.584
  • So marxism is, first of all, anti-god.
  • 00:29:39.584 --> 00:29:42.220
  • It's not atheistic.
  • 00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:43.888
  • They believe in god.
  • 00:29:43.888 --> 00:29:45.490
  • They just hate him, and they try to push him out.
  • 00:29:45.490 --> 00:29:48.026
  • One of their little sayings was, "we're gonna rid the world
  • 00:29:48.026 --> 00:29:50.595
  • Of capitalists and rid heaven of god."
  • 00:29:50.595 --> 00:29:53.698
  • That was their motives.
  • 00:29:53.698 --> 00:29:55.900
  • It is also characterized by totalitarianism.
  • 00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:59.370
  • Now, that's a long word, but it's a word you'll understand
  • 00:29:59.370 --> 00:30:01.539
  • In a moment.
  • 00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:03.341
  • This fact about marxism is one we should grasp.
  • 00:30:03.341 --> 00:30:08.479
  • It quickly becomes totalitarian.
  • 00:30:08.479 --> 00:30:12.016
  • The term "totalitarianism" was first used by supporters
  • 00:30:12.016 --> 00:30:16.020
  • Of dictator benito mussolini, who summed it up this way:
  • 00:30:16.020 --> 00:30:21.092
  • "everything within the state, nothing outside the state,
  • 00:30:21.092 --> 00:30:25.697
  • And nothing against the state."
  • 00:30:25.697 --> 00:30:28.633
  • According to hannah arendt, the foremost scholar
  • 00:30:28.633 --> 00:30:30.969
  • On totalitarianism, a totalitarian state
  • 00:30:30.969 --> 00:30:34.105
  • Is one that aspires to nothing less
  • 00:30:34.105 --> 00:30:36.774
  • Than defining and controlling reality.
  • 00:30:36.774 --> 00:30:40.845
  • Truth is whatever the rulers decide it to be.
  • 00:30:40.845 --> 00:30:44.816
  • As arendt has written, "wherever totalitarianism has ruled,
  • 00:30:44.816 --> 00:30:49.053
  • It has begun to destroy the essence of man."
  • 00:30:49.053 --> 00:30:53.625
  • It's anti-god, it's totalitarian, and it's divisive.
  • 00:30:53.625 --> 00:30:58.029
  • Marxism thrives on division.
  • 00:30:58.029 --> 00:31:00.698
  • In historic marxism, the division was promoted
  • 00:31:00.698 --> 00:31:03.701
  • Between classes of people, the oppressors
  • 00:31:03.701 --> 00:31:07.238
  • Against the oppressed, the bosses against the workers.
  • 00:31:07.238 --> 00:31:11.609
  • Men like hugo chavez went out of their way to ensure
  • 00:31:11.609 --> 00:31:15.346
  • That the poor people of his country hated the wealthy people
  • 00:31:15.346 --> 00:31:19.284
  • Of his country.
  • 00:31:19.284 --> 00:31:21.319
  • In today's cultural marxism in our country,
  • 00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:24.389
  • The exploited divide is often racial.
  • 00:31:24.389 --> 00:31:27.759
  • I believe that's one of the reasons we've lost some
  • 00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:30.194
  • Of the progress we've made on race relationships.
  • 00:31:30.194 --> 00:31:33.865
  • Whatever it is or however far it might be removed
  • 00:31:33.865 --> 00:31:36.901
  • From actual racism,
  • 00:31:36.901 --> 00:31:39.203
  • Whenever a socialist or marxist can't figure out
  • 00:31:39.203 --> 00:31:42.273
  • How to respond to an issue, they always,
  • 00:31:42.273 --> 00:31:45.410
  • And i mean every time, call it racist.
  • 00:31:45.410 --> 00:31:51.149
  • And this is tragic for many reasons.
  • 00:31:51.149 --> 00:31:54.319
  • It's very hurtful to be branded a racist if one has done
  • 00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:57.121
  • Or said nothing that would lead a rational person
  • 00:31:57.121 --> 00:32:00.325
  • To make such an accusation.
  • 00:32:00.325 --> 00:32:03.061
  • And once racism has been pinned on a person,
  • 00:32:03.061 --> 00:32:05.463
  • It's almost impossible to get rid of it,
  • 00:32:05.463 --> 00:32:07.632
  • No matter what you do.
  • 00:32:07.632 --> 00:32:09.801
  • But there is another seldom discussed sadness
  • 00:32:09.801 --> 00:32:12.637
  • With playing the race card.
  • 00:32:12.637 --> 00:32:15.106
  • If everything is racist, nothing is racist.
  • 00:32:15.106 --> 00:32:20.378
  • All of us know there are still issues that need to be addressed
  • 00:32:20.378 --> 00:32:24.782
  • With race relationships in america,
  • 00:32:24.782 --> 00:32:27.719
  • But the true issues get lost
  • 00:32:27.719 --> 00:32:29.620
  • In the avalanche of unwarranted accusations,
  • 00:32:29.620 --> 00:32:32.757
  • And there's never any time to devote to the real issues
  • 00:32:32.757 --> 00:32:35.760
  • That still face us.
  • 00:32:35.760 --> 00:32:37.662
  • When everything is racist, then nothing is racist.
  • 00:32:37.662 --> 00:32:43.534
  • And marxism is using this divide in our country
  • 00:32:43.534 --> 00:32:48.039
  • To make headway into our culture.
  • 00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:51.743
  • Perhaps the most surprising thing about marxism to me
  • 00:32:51.743 --> 00:32:54.679
  • As i studied it is how deadly it has been.
  • 00:32:54.679 --> 00:33:00.051
  • Christianity leads to life.
  • 00:33:00.051 --> 00:33:02.387
  • Marxism leads to death.
  • 00:33:02.387 --> 00:33:05.023
  • In 1999, "the black book of communism"
  • 00:33:05.023 --> 00:33:08.393
  • Endeavored to attempt the impossible task
  • 00:33:08.393 --> 00:33:11.729
  • Of tabulating a marxist-leninist death toll for the 20th century.
  • 00:33:11.729 --> 00:33:17.835
  • It revealed the most colossal case of political carnage
  • 00:33:17.835 --> 00:33:20.872
  • In history.
  • 00:33:20.872 --> 00:33:22.707
  • Latin america, 150,000 deaths.
  • 00:33:22.707 --> 00:33:25.743
  • Eastern europe, 1 million deaths.
  • 00:33:25.743 --> 00:33:28.513
  • Vietnam, 1 million deaths.
  • 00:33:28.513 --> 00:33:31.349
  • Africa, 1.7 million deaths.
  • 00:33:31.349 --> 00:33:34.585
  • Cambodia, 2 million deaths.
  • 00:33:34.585 --> 00:33:37.121
  • North korea, 2 million deaths.
  • 00:33:37.121 --> 00:33:39.557
  • Ussr, 20 million deaths.
  • 00:33:39.557 --> 00:33:42.293
  • China, 65 million deaths.
  • 00:33:42.293 --> 00:33:46.197
  • The death count that resulted from marxism between 1917
  • 00:33:46.197 --> 00:33:50.134
  • And 1979 would equate to a rate of multiple thousands
  • 00:33:50.134 --> 00:33:54.605
  • Of dead people over the course of 100 years.
  • 00:33:54.605 --> 00:33:59.610
  • Even adolf hitler got nowhere close to that.
  • 00:33:59.610 --> 00:34:02.447
  • In fact, neither did the two deadliest wars in history.
  • 00:34:02.447 --> 00:34:06.384
  • Think of this.
  • 00:34:06.384 --> 00:34:07.952
  • World war i and world war ii would have to be combined
  • 00:34:07.952 --> 00:34:11.289
  • And doubled to get near to communism's butcher bill.
  • 00:34:11.289 --> 00:34:16.127
  • More people have died as the result of communism
  • 00:34:16.127 --> 00:34:19.997
  • Than the first world war and the second world war times two.
  • 00:34:19.997 --> 00:34:25.136
  • Communism leads to death.
  • 00:34:25.136 --> 00:34:27.105
  • Wherever you see it, across the globe,
  • 00:34:27.105 --> 00:34:29.540
  • You will see the deadliness of it.
  • 00:34:29.540 --> 00:34:32.777
  • That's all from the heart of the evil karl marx.
  • 00:34:32.777 --> 00:34:37.982
  • So that's what it is, and obviously
  • 00:34:37.982 --> 00:34:40.084
  • There's much more to socialism than what i've said.
  • 00:34:40.084 --> 00:34:44.188
  • Those are some of the main characteristics.
  • 00:34:44.188 --> 00:34:45.857
  • And you say, "well, pastor jeremiah,
  • 00:34:45.857 --> 00:34:47.625
  • That's a good study.
  • 00:34:47.625 --> 00:34:49.060
  • So what does that have to do with us?
  • 00:34:49.060 --> 00:34:50.661
  • What does that mean?"
  • 00:34:50.661 --> 00:34:52.196
  • Well, i am afraid this new political trajectory
  • 00:34:52.196 --> 00:34:55.800
  • In our nation is more than just a trend.
  • 00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:58.836
  • It is a seismic shift toward the socialist agenda.
  • 00:34:58.836 --> 00:35:02.373
  • If you look closely, you can draw the connections.
  • 00:35:02.373 --> 00:35:04.742
  • First of all, the destruction of our monuments.
  • 00:35:04.742 --> 00:35:08.479
  • It's become common in recent years to see news headlines or
  • 00:35:08.479 --> 00:35:12.817
  • Live video of protest groups surrounding, defacing,
  • 00:35:12.817 --> 00:35:16.787
  • Even eventually removing statutes
  • 00:35:16.787 --> 00:35:19.924
  • And other historical monuments they consider to be offensive.
  • 00:35:19.924 --> 00:35:23.594
  • We were surprised when they took down
  • 00:35:23.594 --> 00:35:25.496
  • Some of the early monuments.
  • 00:35:25.496 --> 00:35:28.466
  • There might have been some reason for that,
  • 00:35:28.466 --> 00:35:30.268
  • But then they didn't stop there.
  • 00:35:30.268 --> 00:35:32.036
  • They took down washington and jefferson, abraham lincoln,
  • 00:35:32.036 --> 00:35:34.438
  • Everybody they could find that had anything to do with history.
  • 00:35:34.438 --> 00:35:37.208
  • When we witness these events, we're not simply seeing a bunch
  • 00:35:37.208 --> 00:35:40.311
  • Of rowdy young people tearing down statues for fun.
  • 00:35:40.311 --> 00:35:43.714
  • No, instead, this is a part of a concerted effort
  • 00:35:43.714 --> 00:35:46.150
  • To erase the past.
  • 00:35:46.150 --> 00:35:49.053
  • The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory,
  • 00:35:49.053 --> 00:35:53.224
  • Destroy its books, its culture, its history,
  • 00:35:53.224 --> 00:35:55.793
  • Then have someone write new books,
  • 00:35:55.793 --> 00:35:57.395
  • Manufacture a new culture, invent a new history,
  • 00:35:57.395 --> 00:35:59.797
  • And before long, the nation will forget
  • 00:35:59.797 --> 00:36:02.266
  • What it is and what it was.
  • 00:36:02.266 --> 00:36:05.836
  • On the contrary, it is interesting to discover
  • 00:36:05.836 --> 00:36:09.240
  • That the word "remember" is found 164 times
  • 00:36:09.240 --> 00:36:12.443
  • In the old testament.
  • 00:36:12.443 --> 00:36:14.845
  • Socialism wants you to forget.
  • 00:36:14.845 --> 00:36:17.381
  • Christianity wants you to remember.
  • 00:36:17.381 --> 00:36:19.717
  • Remember the former things of old.
  • 00:36:19.717 --> 00:36:21.786
  • God said through the prophet isaiah,
  • 00:36:21.786 --> 00:36:23.588
  • "i am god, and there is none like me."
  • 00:36:23.588 --> 00:36:26.824
  • Yes, remember all that god has done for us.
  • 00:36:26.824 --> 00:36:29.594
  • On the basis of past mercies, we can build a future of grace.
  • 00:36:29.594 --> 00:36:35.099
  • The destruction of monuments is related to the socialist agenda.
  • 00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:39.770
  • Cancel culture.
  • 00:36:39.770 --> 00:36:42.106
  • Remember what i told you about socialism?
  • 00:36:42.106 --> 00:36:44.375
  • It's totalitarian.
  • 00:36:44.375 --> 00:36:46.077
  • Don't think it's just statutes and histories
  • 00:36:46.077 --> 00:36:47.712
  • That are being torn down.
  • 00:36:47.712 --> 00:36:49.647
  • It's also anyone who doesn't kneel at the altar
  • 00:36:49.647 --> 00:36:51.882
  • Of prevailing political passions.
  • 00:36:51.882 --> 00:36:54.852
  • You are canceled if you don't agree.
  • 00:36:54.852 --> 00:36:57.555
  • I want to point out that this, too, is a child of socialism.
  • 00:36:57.555 --> 00:37:01.292
  • In cultural marxism, there is no room for dissenting opinions.
  • 00:37:01.292 --> 00:37:07.198
  • Are we seeing that?
  • 00:37:07.198 --> 00:37:09.033
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:37:09.033 --> 00:37:11.102
  • Number three, the dismantling of the nuclear family.
  • 00:37:11.102 --> 00:37:15.306
  • Marxism reaches its icy fingers into your very home.
  • 00:37:15.306 --> 00:37:19.377
  • Marxists want to raise your children.
  • 00:37:19.377 --> 00:37:21.746
  • They want to do it, not you.
  • 00:37:21.746 --> 00:37:24.582
  • That's what's going on in our schools today.
  • 00:37:24.582 --> 00:37:27.251
  • They want to put all of this insidious craziness
  • 00:37:27.251 --> 00:37:29.654
  • Into the curriculum starting now earlier and earlier in school.
  • 00:37:29.654 --> 00:37:34.558
  • As long as the family remains strong,
  • 00:37:34.558 --> 00:37:36.727
  • Socialism can't flourish.
  • 00:37:36.727 --> 00:37:38.763
  • So there's an ongoing attempt to subjugate the home
  • 00:37:38.763 --> 00:37:41.465
  • To the government.
  • 00:37:41.465 --> 00:37:43.134
  • That explains much of what is happening in our schools
  • 00:37:43.134 --> 00:37:45.202
  • At this very moment.
  • 00:37:45.202 --> 00:37:47.338
  • You need to be aware of that, and i'll tell you what,
  • 00:37:47.338 --> 00:37:49.473
  • I think this may be the achilles heel
  • 00:37:49.473 --> 00:37:51.275
  • Of what's happening right now
  • 00:37:51.275 --> 00:37:52.843
  • Because parents all over this country are waking up.
  • 00:37:52.843 --> 00:37:56.013
  • When they watched on zoom what their kids were being taught
  • 00:37:56.013 --> 00:37:59.650
  • During the pandemic, they said, "wait a minute,
  • 00:37:59.650 --> 00:38:03.287
  • This is not what we want for our children."
  • 00:38:03.287 --> 00:38:12.196
  • The destruction of monuments, the cancel culture,
  • 00:38:12.196 --> 00:38:14.932
  • The dismantling of the nuclear family.
  • 00:38:14.932 --> 00:38:17.068
  • And how about this: the redistribution of wealth.
  • 00:38:17.068 --> 00:38:20.471
  • That's the central thing that most people know
  • 00:38:20.471 --> 00:38:22.506
  • About socialism.
  • 00:38:22.506 --> 00:38:24.342
  • This ideology teaches that all human assets should be claimed
  • 00:38:24.342 --> 00:38:27.778
  • By the government and redistributed to the masses
  • 00:38:27.778 --> 00:38:31.349
  • In a more equitable formula.
  • 00:38:31.349 --> 00:38:35.052
  • This would supposedly rid the world of poverty,
  • 00:38:35.052 --> 00:38:38.823
  • But somehow it has never worked out that way.
  • 00:38:38.823 --> 00:38:42.093
  • It doesn't take a scholar to see that wherever this principle has
  • 00:38:42.093 --> 00:38:45.496
  • Been implemented, the poor people have gotten poorer,
  • 00:38:45.496 --> 00:38:49.233
  • And the few elitists who have been assigned to redistribute
  • 00:38:49.233 --> 00:38:51.936
  • The wealth have themselves become filthy rich.
  • 00:38:51.936 --> 00:38:55.840
  • Listen carefully.
  • 00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:57.408
  • In all the history of socialism from the beginning of time,
  • 00:38:57.408 --> 00:39:00.044
  • There is not one, not one single successful socialist story.
  • 00:39:00.044 --> 00:39:06.083
  • They are all failures.
  • 00:39:06.083 --> 00:39:07.885
  • They all lead to death and destruction and poverty.
  • 00:39:07.885 --> 00:39:10.354
  • And don't give me the scandinavian countries
  • 00:39:10.354 --> 00:39:12.523
  • As an illustration because they're not socialists.
  • 00:39:12.523 --> 00:39:15.126
  • Those are welfare societies.
  • 00:39:15.126 --> 00:39:17.428
  • Socialism fails.
  • 00:39:17.428 --> 00:39:19.230
  • Socialism is death.
  • 00:39:19.230 --> 00:39:20.998
  • Socialism will lead this country to destruction,
  • 00:39:20.998 --> 00:39:23.401
  • And everything it was built on,
  • 00:39:23.401 --> 00:39:25.169
  • Everything we believe will be destroyed
  • 00:39:25.169 --> 00:39:26.937
  • If we don't stop this in its tracks.
  • 00:39:26.937 --> 00:39:33.477
  • Here's one that really makes sense,
  • 00:39:33.477 --> 00:39:35.246
  • The defunding of the police.
  • 00:39:35.246 --> 00:39:38.082
  • Socialists are especially keen on keeping the reins
  • 00:39:38.082 --> 00:39:40.818
  • Of law enforcement in their tight fists.
  • 00:39:40.818 --> 00:39:43.521
  • In america, their first step is to villainize the police,
  • 00:39:43.521 --> 00:39:46.824
  • Then defund them.
  • 00:39:46.824 --> 00:39:48.426
  • And that's why some cities have slashed their police budgets.
  • 00:39:48.426 --> 00:39:50.961
  • And surprise, each of these cities
  • 00:39:50.961 --> 00:39:53.631
  • Has seen a dramatic uptick in violent crimes
  • 00:39:53.631 --> 00:39:56.367
  • In all the months that followed.
  • 00:39:56.367 --> 00:40:00.304
  • Who could have thought?
  • 00:40:00.304 --> 00:40:03.874
  • Police officers are retiring early, and the recruiting
  • 00:40:03.874 --> 00:40:07.244
  • Of new police officers is at all time low.
  • 00:40:07.244 --> 00:40:10.481
  • Progressive politicians go to and from work
  • 00:40:10.481 --> 00:40:13.851
  • To discuss all of this in their limousines
  • 00:40:13.851 --> 00:40:16.821
  • Accompanied by their expensive security personnel.
  • 00:40:16.821 --> 00:40:21.625
  • Whatever you do, don't miss the socialist motivation
  • 00:40:21.625 --> 00:40:24.562
  • For vilifying local authorities.
  • 00:40:24.562 --> 00:40:27.131
  • No matter how loudly they deny it,
  • 00:40:27.131 --> 00:40:29.233
  • They are simply trying to let the local government fail
  • 00:40:29.233 --> 00:40:33.070
  • So that they can federalize our cities and states
  • 00:40:33.070 --> 00:40:35.539
  • And move control for all that happens to washington.
  • 00:40:35.539 --> 00:40:38.943
  • Everything you watch today is about nationalizing elections,
  • 00:40:38.943 --> 00:40:43.948
  • Nationalizing schools, nationalizing everything.
  • 00:40:43.948 --> 00:40:47.585
  • Nationalize it, then you can control it
  • 00:40:47.585 --> 00:40:49.487
  • With just a few people.
  • 00:40:49.487 --> 00:40:51.455
  • So that's where we are, that's where we've been,
  • 00:40:51.455 --> 00:40:56.594
  • And here we come to this question.
  • 00:40:56.594 --> 00:40:59.230
  • Where do we go from here?
  • 00:40:59.230 --> 00:41:01.165
  • You say, "dr. jeremiah, i'm just one little one.
  • 00:41:01.165 --> 00:41:04.001
  • What am i supposed to do about all this?
  • 00:41:04.001 --> 00:41:06.103
  • How can i have any response?
  • 00:41:06.103 --> 00:41:08.639
  • I mean, this is coming, and i see it, and i feel it,
  • 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:10.975
  • And it touches my children and my grandchildren.
  • 00:41:10.975 --> 00:41:13.611
  • So what should i do?"
  • 00:41:13.611 --> 00:41:15.279
  • Well, let me give you some thoughts that i hope
  • 00:41:15.279 --> 00:41:17.781
  • You will carefully consider.
  • 00:41:17.781 --> 00:41:20.451
  • First of all, we need to review what the bible says.
  • 00:41:20.451 --> 00:41:24.421
  • You say, "well, isn't it possible for me to be socialist?
  • 00:41:24.421 --> 00:41:27.558
  • Can i have a socialist concept and still be a christian?"
  • 00:41:27.558 --> 00:41:30.861
  • So i'm gonna give you a really quick little survey
  • 00:41:30.861 --> 00:41:33.497
  • Of what the bible says.
  • 00:41:33.497 --> 00:41:34.832
  • This is from an article that i read by al mohler:
  • 00:41:34.832 --> 00:41:37.868
  • "scripture affirms the dignity of work, ephesians 4:28.
  • 00:41:37.868 --> 00:41:43.073
  • It affirms the fact that those who refuse to work
  • 00:41:43.073 --> 00:41:45.609
  • Should not eat, 2 thessalonians 3:10.
  • 00:41:45.609 --> 00:41:49.246
  • The bible affirms private property, exodus 22.
  • 00:41:49.246 --> 00:41:53.317
  • It condemns theft, exodus 20:15, and covetousness, exodus 20:17.
  • 00:41:53.317 --> 00:42:00.691
  • It promotes saving, proverbs 13:22,
  • 00:42:00.691 --> 00:42:04.695
  • And thrift, proverbs 21:20,
  • 00:42:04.695 --> 00:42:07.631
  • Land ownership, acts chapter 4,
  • 00:42:07.631 --> 00:42:10.401
  • Investment, matthew chapter 25."
  • 00:42:10.401 --> 00:42:13.337
  • All of these are honored in scripture,
  • 00:42:13.337 --> 00:42:15.806
  • And the bible teaches that the laborer is worthy of his wages.
  • 00:42:15.806 --> 00:42:20.511
  • Socialism contradicts every single one
  • 00:42:20.511 --> 00:42:23.614
  • Of those biblical principles.
  • 00:42:23.614 --> 00:42:26.250
  • You can't be a biblicist and believe what the socialists
  • 00:42:26.250 --> 00:42:29.587
  • Want you to believe.
  • 00:42:29.587 --> 00:42:31.422
  • So review what the bible says.
  • 00:42:31.422 --> 00:42:33.757
  • You can do your own study on that.
  • 00:42:33.757 --> 00:42:35.392
  • Just get a good concordance and go to work.
  • 00:42:35.392 --> 00:42:38.696
  • Number two, refuse to live by lies.
  • 00:42:38.696 --> 00:42:43.100
  • If you refuse to live by lies, you might have to go out of the
  • 00:42:43.100 --> 00:42:45.469
  • World, because it seems like everywhere you look,
  • 00:42:45.469 --> 00:42:49.440
  • It's all lies.
  • 00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.008
  • I mean, i've told you this.
  • 00:42:51.008 --> 00:42:52.610
  • I watch on television.
  • 00:42:52.610 --> 00:42:54.144
  • It's just amazing to me that intelligent people see this,
  • 00:42:54.144 --> 00:42:56.914
  • And it doesn't just strip every gear in their body.
  • 00:42:56.914 --> 00:43:00.117
  • Someone is accused of doing something
  • 00:43:00.117 --> 00:43:02.319
  • That they shouldn't do in opposition to our country.
  • 00:43:02.319 --> 00:43:07.358
  • They have all the proof.
  • 00:43:07.358 --> 00:43:08.892
  • You can see the proof.
  • 00:43:08.892 --> 00:43:10.427
  • It's recorded.
  • 00:43:10.427 --> 00:43:11.929
  • They ask the person, and that person says,
  • 00:43:11.929 --> 00:43:14.398
  • "no, i did not do that."
  • 00:43:14.398 --> 00:43:16.934
  • And instead of believing what they can see with their own eyes
  • 00:43:16.934 --> 00:43:19.737
  • By way of proof, they believe the person,
  • 00:43:19.737 --> 00:43:21.772
  • And life goes on as usual.
  • 00:43:21.772 --> 00:43:24.341
  • I mean, who ever heard of anything like that?
  • 00:43:24.341 --> 00:43:27.444
  • The bible says there's coming a day when good
  • 00:43:27.444 --> 00:43:29.113
  • Will be called evil and evil will be called good,
  • 00:43:29.113 --> 00:43:31.215
  • And i guess we're living in that time.
  • 00:43:31.215 --> 00:43:33.751
  • But here's what i want you to know.
  • 00:43:33.751 --> 00:43:35.285
  • You do not have to live by lies.
  • 00:43:35.285 --> 00:43:38.155
  • Proverbs 29:12 says: "if a ruler pays attention to lies,
  • 00:43:38.155 --> 00:43:42.026
  • All of his servants become wicked."
  • 00:43:42.026 --> 00:43:45.462
  • After his expulsion from russia for writing his famous work,
  • 00:43:45.462 --> 00:43:49.366
  • "the gulag archipelago," aleksandr solzhenitsyn published
  • 00:43:49.366 --> 00:43:53.470
  • A message to the russian people, and here was his message:
  • 00:43:53.470 --> 00:43:56.540
  • "live not by lies."
  • 00:43:56.540 --> 00:43:59.109
  • In this essay, he offered a list of what citizens must not do
  • 00:43:59.109 --> 00:44:03.547
  • If they were to be faithful to the truth.
  • 00:44:03.547 --> 00:44:06.116
  • Here's what he said: "they must not say, write,
  • 00:44:06.116 --> 00:44:09.520
  • Affirm, or distribute anything that distorts the truth.
  • 00:44:09.520 --> 00:44:14.191
  • Number two, they must not go to a demonstration
  • 00:44:14.191 --> 00:44:17.494
  • Or participate in a collective action unless you truly believe
  • 00:44:17.494 --> 00:44:21.732
  • In the cause and it is true.
  • 00:44:21.732 --> 00:44:24.601
  • Number three, you must not take part in a meeting
  • 00:44:24.601 --> 00:44:27.037
  • In which the discussion is forced
  • 00:44:27.037 --> 00:44:29.306
  • And no one can speak the truth.
  • 00:44:29.306 --> 00:44:32.609
  • You must not vote for a candidate or proposal
  • 00:44:32.609 --> 00:44:35.045
  • You consider to be dubious or unworthy.
  • 00:44:35.045 --> 00:44:38.649
  • And you must not support journalism
  • 00:44:38.649 --> 00:44:41.018
  • That distorts or hides the underlying facts."
  • 00:44:41.018 --> 00:44:44.521
  • And that last point will subtract
  • 00:44:44.521 --> 00:44:47.224
  • Almost all of the news programs that are on television today.
  • 00:44:47.224 --> 00:44:51.295
  • I mean, they don't tell the truth.
  • 00:44:51.295 --> 00:44:57.067
  • Christians have been called to refuse falsehood,
  • 00:44:57.067 --> 00:45:01.505
  • Even to accept or listen to what is false is wrong.
  • 00:45:01.505 --> 00:45:05.342
  • That's why if you let your mind be filled with all the garbage
  • 00:45:05.342 --> 00:45:08.078
  • Of some of these networks that just force these lies
  • 00:45:08.078 --> 00:45:13.083
  • Out of their network room into the atmosphere,
  • 00:45:13.083 --> 00:45:17.387
  • You're hurting yourself.
  • 00:45:17.387 --> 00:45:19.790
  • Solzhenitsyn said don't do it.
  • 00:45:19.790 --> 00:45:21.792
  • Don't listen to it.
  • 00:45:21.792 --> 00:45:23.627
  • Don't allow yourself to be listening to lies
  • 00:45:23.627 --> 00:45:25.863
  • And then live by lies.
  • 00:45:25.863 --> 00:45:27.898
  • So much of what we hear in our culture today has no connection
  • 00:45:27.898 --> 00:45:30.501
  • To common sense.
  • 00:45:30.501 --> 00:45:32.069
  • Let us refuse to live by lies.
  • 00:45:32.069 --> 00:45:35.139
  • Just because somebody in power says it's true
  • 00:45:35.139 --> 00:45:37.207
  • Doesn't mean it's true.
  • 00:45:37.207 --> 00:45:40.210
  • So review what the bible says.
  • 00:45:40.210 --> 00:45:41.712
  • That's a good thing.
  • 00:45:41.712 --> 00:45:43.380
  • Refuse to live by lies.
  • 00:45:43.380 --> 00:45:45.315
  • Here's another one: resolve to be a follower of christ
  • 00:45:45.315 --> 00:45:48.519
  • And not just an admirer of christ.
  • 00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:51.288
  • What is happening, men and women, in this time:
  • 00:45:51.288 --> 00:45:53.190
  • We're sorting out the church.
  • 00:45:53.190 --> 00:45:55.325
  • We're sorting out christians.
  • 00:45:55.325 --> 00:45:57.161
  • We've got some christians who are admirers of christ,
  • 00:45:57.161 --> 00:46:00.931
  • And we have some who are followers of christ.
  • 00:46:00.931 --> 00:46:03.834
  • Soren kierkegaard wrote something about that.
  • 00:46:03.834 --> 00:46:06.737
  • He said, "the admirer of christ never makes any sacrifice.
  • 00:46:06.737 --> 00:46:11.408
  • He always plays it safe, though in words and phrases and songs
  • 00:46:11.408 --> 00:46:15.312
  • He is inexhaustible about how he praises christ.
  • 00:46:15.312 --> 00:46:18.682
  • He renounces nothing.
  • 00:46:18.682 --> 00:46:20.517
  • He will not reconstruct his life,
  • 00:46:20.517 --> 00:46:22.553
  • And he will not let his life express
  • 00:46:22.553 --> 00:46:24.188
  • What he supposedly admires.
  • 00:46:24.188 --> 00:46:27.558
  • Not so for the follower, oh, no.
  • 00:46:27.558 --> 00:46:29.827
  • The follower aspires with all of his strength
  • 00:46:29.827 --> 00:46:33.030
  • To be what he admires."
  • 00:46:33.030 --> 00:46:35.799
  • And that's what we need to be today as christians.
  • 00:46:35.799 --> 00:46:40.704
  • You know, i know a lot of people who are cultural christians.
  • 00:46:40.704 --> 00:46:44.041
  • They go out and live for the devil during the week
  • 00:46:44.041 --> 00:46:46.109
  • And show up in church on sunday.
  • 00:46:46.109 --> 00:46:48.145
  • Sort of gives them a feeling of respectability.
  • 00:46:48.145 --> 00:46:50.714
  • They're not followers of christ.
  • 00:46:50.714 --> 00:46:52.449
  • They might be admirers of christ.
  • 00:46:52.449 --> 00:46:54.151
  • They want christ on their portfolio,
  • 00:46:54.151 --> 00:46:57.454
  • But they don't necessarily want him dictating their life.
  • 00:46:57.454 --> 00:47:01.959
  • More and more than ever before, we need to really be seriously
  • 00:47:01.959 --> 00:47:05.629
  • Asking ourself, "what does jesus christ want me to do
  • 00:47:05.629 --> 00:47:10.434
  • In this situation?"
  • 00:47:10.434 --> 00:47:12.803
  • Rethink small groups.
  • 00:47:12.803 --> 00:47:15.239
  • As many of us learned during the covid crisis,
  • 00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:17.407
  • Small groups are vital in rough times.
  • 00:47:17.407 --> 00:47:20.277
  • This is what happened in the early days of the church
  • 00:47:20.277 --> 00:47:22.880
  • Where they "continued daily with one accord in the temple,
  • 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:25.949
  • And in breaking bread from house to house."
  • 00:47:25.949 --> 00:47:29.186
  • One person has written this: "what the experience
  • 00:47:29.186 --> 00:47:31.955
  • Of the church under communism
  • 00:47:31.955 --> 00:47:33.857
  • And a discerning read of the signs of the times today
  • 00:47:33.857 --> 00:47:36.727
  • Tell us is this: that all christians of every church
  • 00:47:36.727 --> 00:47:40.697
  • Should start forming these small groups
  • 00:47:40.697 --> 00:47:43.267
  • Not simply to deepen its members' spiritual lives,
  • 00:47:43.267 --> 00:47:46.603
  • But to train them in active resistance.
  • 00:47:46.603 --> 00:47:49.907
  • Small groups are not retreats from the rest of the world.
  • 00:47:49.907 --> 00:47:53.877
  • They are gatherings that help us care for one another,
  • 00:47:53.877 --> 00:47:56.780
  • Study the instructions of scripture,
  • 00:47:56.780 --> 00:47:58.982
  • Cope with the world, and advance the gospel.
  • 00:47:58.982 --> 00:48:01.985
  • They are biblical in nature, and they will prepare us to resist
  • 00:48:01.985 --> 00:48:05.122
  • The socialist thought army that is coming after us today."
  • 00:48:05.122 --> 00:48:09.660
  • We need to be in small groups so that we can get strength
  • 00:48:09.660 --> 00:48:12.296
  • From one another, and when this stuff starts happening to us, we
  • 00:48:12.296 --> 00:48:15.732
  • Aren't standing all by ourselves trying to face it as one couple.
  • 00:48:15.732 --> 00:48:20.170
  • I believe more than ever before that as we walk
  • 00:48:20.170 --> 00:48:23.073
  • Into these next days with all of this craziness
  • 00:48:23.073 --> 00:48:25.742
  • That's going on around us, if we are not in a small group,
  • 00:48:25.742 --> 00:48:28.578
  • We are setting ourselves up to be picked off.
  • 00:48:28.578 --> 00:48:31.748
  • You know, the enemy likes to isolate people
  • 00:48:31.748 --> 00:48:33.550
  • And pick them off one by one.
  • 00:48:33.550 --> 00:48:35.152
  • You get in a small group and you have some people
  • 00:48:35.152 --> 00:48:37.087
  • That can pray for you and help you,
  • 00:48:37.087 --> 00:48:38.789
  • And we need to join hands with others
  • 00:48:38.789 --> 00:48:40.857
  • Who can help us stay strong during the things
  • 00:48:40.857 --> 00:48:43.794
  • That are happening.
  • 00:48:43.794 --> 00:48:45.829
  • Number five: resist any way that you can.
  • 00:48:45.829 --> 00:48:49.433
  • We ought to obey god rather than men.
  • 00:48:49.433 --> 00:48:53.103
  • So let me tell you a little story that will help you
  • 00:48:53.103 --> 00:48:55.372
  • To understand how we can stand in the way of some of this stuff
  • 00:48:55.372 --> 00:48:58.342
  • That is happening.
  • 00:48:58.342 --> 00:49:00.410
  • Elizabeth turner worked hard on her valedictorian speech
  • 00:49:00.410 --> 00:49:03.981
  • For hillsdale high school in hillsdale, michigan.
  • 00:49:03.981 --> 00:49:07.551
  • She intentionally highlighted her faith in jesus.
  • 00:49:07.551 --> 00:49:11.621
  • In the draft of her speech, she said,
  • 00:49:11.621 --> 00:49:13.991
  • And this is from her speech, "for me, my future hope
  • 00:49:13.991 --> 00:49:17.494
  • Is found in my relationship with christ.
  • 00:49:17.494 --> 00:49:20.263
  • By trusting him and choosing to live a life dedicated
  • 00:49:20.263 --> 00:49:22.699
  • To bringing his kingdom glory, i can be confident
  • 00:49:22.699 --> 00:49:25.869
  • That i am living a life with purpose and meaning.
  • 00:49:25.869 --> 00:49:28.505
  • My identity is found by what god says and who i want to become
  • 00:49:28.505 --> 00:49:32.609
  • Is laid out in scripture."
  • 00:49:32.609 --> 00:49:35.112
  • Well, that didn't go over too well with the school officials.
  • 00:49:35.112 --> 00:49:39.616
  • Her principal told her, "you are representing the school
  • 00:49:39.616 --> 00:49:43.020
  • In this speech, not using the podium as your public forum.
  • 00:49:43.020 --> 00:49:46.790
  • We need you to be mindful about the inclusion
  • 00:49:46.790 --> 00:49:49.092
  • Of religious aspects.
  • 00:49:49.092 --> 00:49:51.128
  • These are your strong beliefs, but they are not appropriate
  • 00:49:51.128 --> 00:49:53.296
  • For a speech in a school public setting.
  • 00:49:53.296 --> 00:49:55.732
  • I know this will frustrate you,
  • 00:49:55.732 --> 00:49:57.467
  • But we have to be mindful of it."
  • 00:49:57.467 --> 00:50:00.570
  • Well, that didn't just frustrate elizabeth.
  • 00:50:00.570 --> 00:50:02.205
  • It frustrated my dear friend, robert morgan.
  • 00:50:02.205 --> 00:50:05.942
  • When robert morgan heard this and read about it,
  • 00:50:05.942 --> 00:50:09.112
  • He did something i would have never thought of doing.
  • 00:50:09.112 --> 00:50:12.249
  • He picked up the phone and called the school,
  • 00:50:12.249 --> 00:50:16.053
  • And he spoke with someone in the principal's office.
  • 00:50:16.053 --> 00:50:19.423
  • Rob was gentle and soft-spoken, but he questioned
  • 00:50:19.423 --> 00:50:21.892
  • The school's decision.
  • 00:50:21.892 --> 00:50:24.261
  • "this is an infringement on the civil rights
  • 00:50:24.261 --> 00:50:26.329
  • Of this student," he said.
  • 00:50:26.329 --> 00:50:28.065
  • "it's an erosion of our freedom of speech and worship."
  • 00:50:28.065 --> 00:50:31.701
  • He was directed to the office of the superintendent of schools
  • 00:50:31.701 --> 00:50:35.705
  • Where he left a message on the answering machine
  • 00:50:35.705 --> 00:50:38.375
  • And posted a link to the story on his social media sites.
  • 00:50:38.375 --> 00:50:43.513
  • To his surprise, rob said, "superintendent shawn vondra
  • 00:50:43.513 --> 00:50:47.017
  • Called me back.
  • 00:50:47.017 --> 00:50:48.685
  • He answered and wanted me to know that hillsdale high school
  • 00:50:48.685 --> 00:50:52.789
  • Will certainly allow elizabeth and all their valedictorians to
  • 00:50:52.789 --> 00:50:56.793
  • Express their genuine faith without any censorship."
  • 00:50:56.793 --> 00:51:01.231
  • Can you imagine that?
  • 00:51:01.231 --> 00:51:07.237
  • Sometimes when something like that happens,
  • 00:51:07.237 --> 00:51:09.473
  • You will have something go off in your heart
  • 00:51:09.473 --> 00:51:11.475
  • And it will say, "i ought to--"
  • 00:51:11.475 --> 00:51:13.677
  • When it says you ought to, do it.
  • 00:51:13.677 --> 00:51:16.746
  • That's what happened to robert.
  • 00:51:16.746 --> 00:51:18.281
  • He saw this, he heard it.
  • 00:51:18.281 --> 00:51:20.150
  • "i ought to call--" he called the school.
  • 00:51:20.150 --> 00:51:23.620
  • Whoever thought of such a thing?
  • 00:51:23.620 --> 00:51:25.722
  • Well, it's amazing what can happen if we don't just sit on
  • 00:51:25.722 --> 00:51:29.326
  • Our hands when people are trying to steal from us the things
  • 00:51:29.326 --> 00:51:32.896
  • That mean so much to us as believers.
  • 00:51:32.896 --> 00:51:36.133
  • So there are times when you can resist, and god will show you
  • 00:51:36.133 --> 00:51:38.535
  • When that is, and when your heart says,
  • 00:51:38.535 --> 00:51:40.137
  • "i ought to," you do it.
  • 00:51:40.137 --> 00:51:42.606
  • And please come and tell me the story.
  • 00:51:42.606 --> 00:51:44.174
  • It'll be in another sermon, i promise you.
  • 00:51:44.174 --> 00:51:48.512
  • And finally, i want you to remember venezuela.
  • 00:51:48.512 --> 00:51:52.749
  • That's where we started.
  • 00:51:52.749 --> 00:51:55.318
  • Today, venezuela is a social and economic wasteland.
  • 00:51:55.318 --> 00:52:00.757
  • Ninety-six percent of citizens live below the poverty line.
  • 00:52:00.757 --> 00:52:06.730
  • Most people earn less than a u.s. dollar per day.
  • 00:52:06.730 --> 00:52:10.867
  • Poor economic management brought about inflation rates
  • 00:52:10.867 --> 00:52:13.870
  • Of more than 10 million percent,
  • 00:52:13.870 --> 00:52:16.473
  • Which is why a roll of toilet paper
  • 00:52:16.473 --> 00:52:18.875
  • Cost 2.6 million bolivars, the venezuelan currency.
  • 00:52:18.875 --> 00:52:26.082
  • And the lack of investment in commodities means the nation
  • 00:52:26.082 --> 00:52:28.752
  • Is barren of essential medicines and medical services.
  • 00:52:28.752 --> 00:52:32.956
  • As a result, an estimated 5.5 million refugees
  • 00:52:32.956 --> 00:52:37.827
  • Have fled venezuela, a number that represents
  • 00:52:37.827 --> 00:52:40.997
  • More than a sixth of the nation's total population.
  • 00:52:40.997 --> 00:52:45.902
  • In short, a country once defined by freedom and opportunity
  • 00:52:45.902 --> 00:52:49.906
  • Is now oppressed, barren, and hopeless.
  • 00:52:49.906 --> 00:52:52.876
  • And marxism caused it.
  • 00:52:52.876 --> 00:52:55.345
  • Marxism is among the worst ideas ever conceived.
  • 00:52:55.345 --> 00:52:59.049
  • Just ask its oppressed multitudes
  • 00:52:59.049 --> 00:53:01.351
  • And its countless casualties.
  • 00:53:01.351 --> 00:53:03.353
  • We should be aware of its history, herald its dangers,
  • 00:53:03.353 --> 00:53:06.423
  • And oppose its spread.
  • 00:53:06.423 --> 00:53:09.559
  • When you see these crazy people on television,
  • 00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:11.828
  • And i could name a few of them,
  • 00:53:11.828 --> 00:53:13.697
  • Talking about how this is gonna be the new face of our nation,
  • 00:53:13.697 --> 00:53:18.101
  • I hope you shudder as i do, and you hit the ground
  • 00:53:18.101 --> 00:53:21.304
  • And pray, "never, god, let this happen to us."
  • 00:53:21.304 --> 00:53:25.942
  • Well, the best news of all is this.
  • 00:53:25.942 --> 00:53:28.178
  • There is coming a utopia, better than anyone can ever imagine,
  • 00:53:28.178 --> 00:53:32.582
  • Better than we can imagine.
  • 00:53:32.582 --> 00:53:35.452
  • Isaiah 9:6-7 describes a time when the government
  • 00:53:35.452 --> 00:53:39.256
  • Will be upon the shoulder of jesus christ.
  • 00:53:39.256 --> 00:53:42.659
  • When jesus returns, things will be different, amen?
  • 00:53:42.659 --> 00:53:52.068
  • Our lord, when he returns, will right all of these wrongs.
  • 00:53:52.068 --> 00:53:58.708
  • "he will judge between the nations,
  • 00:53:58.708 --> 00:54:00.944
  • He will rebuke many people;
  • 00:54:00.944 --> 00:54:03.046
  • And they will beat their swords into plowshares,
  • 00:54:03.046 --> 00:54:05.282
  • And their spears into pruning hooks;
  • 00:54:05.282 --> 00:54:07.384
  • And nations shall not lift up sword against nation,
  • 00:54:07.384 --> 00:54:10.487
  • Neither shall they learn war anymore."
  • 00:54:10.487 --> 00:54:14.257
  • No, friends, socialism, marxism, and all the other ugly-isms
  • 00:54:14.257 --> 00:54:18.028
  • Of history will be utterly destroyed when jesus comes back
  • 00:54:18.028 --> 00:54:23.166
  • And sets up his kingdom on this earth.
  • 00:54:23.166 --> 00:54:26.469
  • And the bible says this kingdom will be forever and ever.
  • 00:54:26.469 --> 00:54:29.973
  • And it also tells us that we can be citizens of this kingdom
  • 00:54:29.973 --> 00:54:34.544
  • If we will put our trust in jesus christ.
  • 00:54:34.544 --> 00:54:37.447
  • If we will allow jesus christ to become our savior,
  • 00:54:37.447 --> 00:54:41.217
  • He will not only just be the king of the earth,
  • 00:54:41.217 --> 00:54:42.952
  • He'll be the king of our life.
  • 00:54:42.952 --> 00:54:45.355
  • And i hope you have done that.
  • 00:54:45.355 --> 00:54:46.923
  • I hope there's been a time in your life where you've given
  • 00:54:46.923 --> 00:54:49.526
  • Yourself to jesus christ and asked christ
  • 00:54:49.526 --> 00:54:52.295
  • To come and live within you.
  • 00:54:52.295 --> 00:54:55.498
  • Announcer: dr. jeremiah will return with
  • 00:54:55.498 --> 00:54:57.400

  • Here is dr. jeremiah.
  • 00:55:51.221 --> 00:55:53.289
  • Dr. jeremiah: one day in the future, all the ideologies,
  • 00:55:53.356 --> 00:55:56.359
  • Governments, and systems will become history.
  • 00:55:56.359 --> 00:56:00.397
  • When jesus christ takes his rightful place upon his return,
  • 00:56:00.397 --> 00:56:04.567
  • He will reign with justice for all eternity.
  • 00:56:04.567 --> 00:56:08.104
  • Amongst today's debates and discourse, the most important
  • 00:56:08.104 --> 00:56:11.241
  • Stance you can take is standing with christ.
  • 00:56:11.241 --> 00:56:14.911
  • And you can choose to stand with him today
  • 00:56:14.911 --> 00:56:17.380
  • When you begin a relationship
  • 00:56:17.380 --> 00:56:18.715
  • With christ as your lord and savior.
  • 00:56:18.715 --> 00:56:21.751

  • Dr. jeremiah: all the world will see globalization then in

  • Its finest, not under nimrod, not under nebuchadnezzar,
  • 00:57:00.123 --> 00:57:04.360
  • Not under greece, not under persia,
  • 00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:06.629
  • Not under rome, and not under the antichrist,
  • 00:57:06.629 --> 00:57:09.098
  • Instead under the lord jesus christ,
  • 00:57:09.098 --> 00:57:12.302
  • Who will reign in that place.
  • 00:57:12.302 --> 00:57:14.003
  • Announcer: thank you for being with us today.
  • 00:57:17.307 --> 00:57:19.042
  • Join dr. jeremiah next time for his message, "globalism:
  • 00:57:19.042 --> 00:57:23.012
  • An international prophecy," here on "turning point."
