I'm gonna actually have to I'm getting so many questions. Thankfully, to you guys, to you all, is your I thank you all so much.

Uh, if you're listening right now, all right. Love each and every one of you. Thank you all so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you. Now let's get into this because we still have a lot to cover. I know this this particular question spawned this entire series, and I can't even remember how many episodes we're on with this, but um, this has been a lot of the I and I know I had a lot of buildup to this, but I wanted to lay a good foundation as to what the Bible is actually saying because what generally happens, and I know I've said it a few times, if you just sort of pick out little things, you leave other things, and then that allows you to be deceived. And I that's what I don't want in this podcast. We got to take the entire Bible and the way God gave it to us and give it to you, or we can discuss it, you can discuss it with me. God just is not willing for any of us to perish, but all come to repentance, and but then God says, My people perish for the lack of knowledge. So, therefore, we have to know these things. We have to know what God wants us to know, and let's just put it that way. So, last week we were wrapping up the second seal, the second seal with the second horseman, and I don't know if I went over it with you guys, uh, but we did have where I had done the math, we had the the white horse, um, who is the Hawaii Horse Rider, which is going to be the Antichrist, and then we had a red horse because there's gonna be a bloody war that comes after that, but then we're going to have the third seal. Now, the third seal always will follow the second seal. And what is that third seal? That third seal would be post-war famine. This is gonna be a post-war famine, unlike you or I have ever seen before. Like nowadays, you know, when you look at places that are war-torn and ravaged and stuff like that, you know, it looks it's pretty bad. Not gonna sugarcoat it, it's pretty bad. People are starving, things are bombed out, crops and entire fields are lost to artillery shells and things like that. Everything's burned up, and a lot of people starve. And then a lot of our other countries like America or or other places send out these things called foreign aid, and then they can help people, you know, get through the post-war aftermath. But in this time, it's going to be such a bad situation that there will not be a United States capable of sending out foreign aid. There won't be a European Union capable of sending out foreign aid. This war that the great the the horse on the Red Rider, Red Horsemen, let's put it that way, the Red Horseman is going to be causing will be a global conflict. So there will be no foreign aid. There will not be train loads of porn going to a place, there will not be shiploads of rice going to a place. So people will starve. And this third seal that will come after the second seal will be uh on will cause economic conditions that you and I can't even fathom. And I started to touch on it last week, but I didn't want to really, I couldn't really give it good justice. So um please understand that when things are scarce, law of supply and demand, which has always been a thing, God instituted it, the law of supply and demand states that the more the rarer a thing is, the more value it attains. The more value it attains, the more it costs. Alright. So keep in mind now the Bible says that the balances will require a thing to be measured. So, and it's talking about food here, and it's talking about the aftermath of the red rider. So now you're gonna have this black horse that comes after the red rider. Black horse follows the red rider. And what is this black horse? The black horse is death and famine, and he's gonna have some help because the death and famine is going to cause inflation, and and we've just lived through a God just gave us a little taste of what inflation actually does. We seem to think that if someone says, and and this is probably the way it because it's reported to us, hey, this thing has 9% inflation. Well, we think, okay, 9% inflation, then if it was a dollar today, then it's a dollar nine tomorrow, then that's the inflation rate. That's not that would be considered what I call linear inflation. However, that's not how it works. And if we God just gave us a taste of this over the last four years, this inflation will be compounding because percentages compound. If you know anything about investing and things of that nature, they take small margins because these things compound over time. And the Bible says that you know these things are going to be weighed, and the measure of wheat is gonna be a penny, and so and then a day's labor is going to be that measure. So if a man could earn 10 bucks a day, right, and that's for a day's work, and this is this is I'm I'm just throwing raw numbers out there, and then I'm going to break it down a little bit more. So if let's just say you earn 10 bucks a day, right? We don't. We earn probably about 100 to 150 dollars a day, but let's just say, for the sake of ease, it's a hundred is ten dollars a day. That means a bushel of wheat is going to be three hundred and twenty dollars. It's going to take you 32 days to earn a bushel of wheat. What are you going to eat in the meantime? That's right. Absolutely nothing. You're going to start. And here's the here's the killer part. It takes, by the time you you add in the labor and the cost of making a loaf of bread out of that bushel of wheat, that bread is going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of about 27 or 28 dollars a loaf. And that's on a good day. That's considering if everything is going and there's no price gouging, and everything is only up and up, and you know how that that's not how that's going to work, being that this is going to be a post-gotless era. So imagine one loaf of bread, 28 bucks, you only make 10 bucks a day. How long are you going to be able to survive that? Because we're not even talking about all the other things that must also skyrocket, such as rent, um, gas and light, uh power for your vehicle, uh, every other, every other day-to-day expense that you have, toothpaste will be eight dollars or twenty-six dollars or fifty-two dollars. These are these things will the inflation will be out of control. It'll be like um like it was in Venezuela. Literally, people were walking in, walking around with millions of their Venezuelan dollars and unable to buy a can of soup. That kind of thing is going to happen on a global scale. All right, so there you're gonna have a few people who are super rich, they're gonna become richer, but a vast number of people starve, and that's going to be the third seal, third seal, and this black day of famine is coming, it's coming, and I don't want to sound all doom and gloom, and there's not even a lot of a lot of prepping that you can do for this because this is just gonna be a long time, uh long time coming, right? But then, because remember I said before, just because the first rider comes on, and then the second rider comes on, and then the third rider comes on, it does not mean that the first and second riders went away. This these riders, once these horses are released, it will be a continual thing. These things will be an ongoing thing. The war would not have ended before the the black force arrived. So the the war would not, I mean, the antichrist will still be in control when the huge war arrives. Therefore, considering that, then when you have the fourth seal, which is the pale horse, that death is going to still be around when the black horse is there. Now remember, uh, last week I talked about if say it was uh 8 billion people on the planet today, you only have a one in fourth chance of surviving. So you gotta be one of those two billion people that are left. And what is that death going to be? All right, that death is gonna be diseases because as as you as your body begins to break down from starvation, it begins to consume itself, your immune system tanks, uh, there will be pestilences, and and because of the war, we won't have a lot of sanitation, so you're gonna have a lot of problems with water and and so forth. It's it's literally going to be a cascading failure. And these are all gonna be judgments. This is why I believe that that we gotta catch that bus on the way out of here before this happens, and I do believe this will be a pre-tribulation rapture. Now, after that, we're gonna spend some time on this fifth seal, all right, because we already know that two billion people are gonna die, it's gonna be a war, there's gonna be pestilences, they're going to be um and this antichrist. But now we have this fifth seal. Now, this is where a lot of people think that there's going to be a rapture, uh, but I there is not this is not that. Some people think that this is the first three and a half years, and this fifth seal turns it into the Great Tribulation. However, that's not the way the Bible seems to be placing it. This fifth seal, we have a when this fifth seal is open, we kind of have a glimpse of what we're gonna call tribulation saints. These are not saints the way you and I know them to be saints, these are saints as to where they're going to be good people, wonderful people, who realize that you know, hey, the rapture is coming gone, and they were wrong and they missed it, and they still try to preach the word of God. And I'm not talking about this uh the one-world religion people. I'm talking about actual Christianity. One world, this is not the one world religion, it's not, you know, let's all coexist and get along and kumbaya. No, no, no. This is hey man, I missed the rapture, and you know, this is the truth of what's going on. This is the truth. That leader is the Antichrist. All of these things are foretold in the Bible. What's going to happen to these people is that uh they will be martyred, and this is where we start seeing what the what we call the tribulation saints, Revelation 6, 9, 10, and 11. So, oh, also, I'm not sure if I I know I didn't say it today, but there's a rule on this podcast. I gotta say it every single time. Always read a verse or two above, a verse or two below, but preferably the whole chapter, because uh context is key when we're talking about the word of God, it's absolutely key, it's always key. Um, and you don't ever, ever, ever, ever want to take anything out of context because it messes up the entire intent of what God is trying to tell us. And we have, and this is exactly how we had people getting scammed for this end time thing that actually generated this question. So, Revelation 6 and 9 says, And when you open the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and the testimony which they held. So these are not people um who went up in the rapture. This these aren't even the Stevens, these are people who missed the rapture but were killed because they were trying to get the truth out. Well, JJ, um how is that possible if if if they missed the rapture? Listen, we have people now, this very day, being killed because they know truth that they don't that someone else doesn't want to have out. So this will continue, and after it'll get worse. Um 10 and 11 says, and they cry with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Now, I'm sorry, what did we just go through? The first four seals, and you're saying, God, how long before you avenge our blood? This is saying that these things happened after what we just talked about. This is this is something that's happening in the fifth seal. People will be killed for knowing the word of God, even if they hadn't lived up to it enough to have made the rapture. And the hope is in verse 11 white robes were given unto every one of them, and it was said unto them that they should rest yet for a little season until their fellow servants, and here's a very sobering thought, their fellow servants also and their brethren that should be killed as they were be fulfilled. This is not the rapture, these are people who will die because they know the truth, and it will be a lot of them. It will be a lot of people who will die, and horrifically so, because you know you have to think of and and I thought about it too. I actually did some research as to um some of the ways that we used to execute each other on this planet. Like, there's this thing's called the bronze bull. Oh man, you should read that. You should read up on that. Like, some of the most insidious ways that we execute people that we have executed people that we don't like. It may not be just don't sit in a chair and do you deny the Lord Jesus Christ and they put a bullet in your brain, that would be merciful compared to some of the ways that um we have devised on how to execute people we didn't like. And I don't mean this to be sobering or scary, but you gotta look at some of the things that we've done to each other as we humans, and you you see why God was being very disgusted with us from time to time. So, and keep in mind that these martyrs will be killed for the word of God and their testimony, they're gonna come out of the great tribulation, so that the tribulation will already be going on, the robes are gonna be washing the blood of the lamb, and they're gonna serve as servants in the kingdom of God in heaven day and night, and they will cry for righteous judgment, not just any kind of judgment, righteous judgment. And here's the thing these um saints are gonna be both conscious and fully rational. So they're gonna be there, there's not gonna be any response, they're gonna be praying and praying, and and I want to talk about that too, because in hell you will also be conscious and fully rational. There is no there is no um there is no no um kind of blacking out on this thing. You will be conscious and you will be fully rational because they are literally crying out for vengeance, so which means they remember the thing that was done to them, they remember what was uh how how they were killed, and it's like I said, it's not going to be pretty. And then we get to the sixth seal. And I I I wanted to kind of kind of breeze through the seal real quick, um, because we're gonna get into some more some deeper stuff, but uh, I want to kind of keep it to these seals here. Now, remember the judgments from the first four seals are just the results of the actions of the Antichrist. Um, and we're gonna read like there's uh like supernatural judgments that come from God because that's what these are. The next series of things will be judgments from God, whereas the seals will be the results of the actions of the Antichrist, and God will allow you to step back and just mess up your life, and and this is exactly what's gonna happen the first five seals, the first four seals, and then the fifth seal is the result of people that have been martyred. But here's the sixth seal. Now, from the way John wrote it, the way John explained it, we have to really accept it as being literal, like there was a great earthquake, but it was not the end of the world, and there's three earthquakes that are mentioned in Revelation. You got the one in six and twelve, eleven and thirteen, um, and sixteen, eighteen. Sorry, that's confusing. Uh, Revelation chapter six, verse 12, Revelation 11 and 13, and then chapter 16, verse 18 and 19. Now, this is the first of these three earthquakes, and right after that sixth seal. And the this seal is going to really cause people to kind of figure out what's happening. So, a lot of people are gonna figure it out because they're gonna cry in fear, and they're going to to uh literally try to go to a place and then cry out for to be buried under rocks and rubble. Now, some people have said, and I kind of agree, this would make sense, that they are going to go into bunkers and then pray that the bunkers collapse on them because things are just gonna be so bad. Imagine that. Imagine you spending all this money to prep, do all this prepping, and I'm not and I'm not having anything against prepping, but let's just say you you go into these um bunkers and and this and this, that in the 30s, and all this money, you do all this preparation, and then it gets so bad that you just wish that the bunker would just collapse on you. That's how that earthquake is going to be. Because you are literally understanding it right now, things are just going from bad to worse to worse to worse, and in some cases they say more worse and more worse. And it is exactly what this is going to be. It's just getting worse and worse and worse. And then we're just in Revelation chapter seven. We're not even in the we're not even into the trumpets yet. Because next week, we're gonna start on those trumpets. This is just the seal, this is just the unleashing. This is not the announcement. And then this is not the end. And um Jesus said, you know, he was talking about how things were gonna happen, and he said, But this the end is not yet, it's gonna get raised nations gonna rise against nations. He's telling us all. These things, and this is New Testament confirmation because remember, John wasn't there, John wasn't there when Jesus spoke these things, but John was on the island of Patman, and John was seeing the same thing that Daniel was seeing. So you see, God is warning us over and over and over and over. Get right, get your heart and your soul right. Well, JJ, how does that happen? How do you do that? You gotta be born again, and I know I know we throw that term around. We've taken, we've taken, we've watered down what it means to be born again. We we don't say that you have to repent of your sins, we don't say that you have to be baptized in Jesus' name, we don't say that you need the Holy Ghost speaking to other times, spiritual utterance, but all of these things are necessary to be born again. That's the only way, and then on top of that, you have to maintain a Christian life, a holy life, which sounds really hard, but it but as we went over in some of our previous episodes under different topics, it's not as hard as it sounds, and you get a lot of help. So I'm saying this because I I think I really want to start poning into the fact that the only way that we're going to avoid any of this is by making the rapture. And the only way that for us to have made the rapture, and um and and that's to have a holy life. And I'm not saying you walk around a sack off in ashes and you have a sign up, you say repent, the end is near. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just live for God. Just live for God. Put your put your focus on God because that's more important than anything else. Eve is more important than it's more important than anything this world could offer you. Because this world will burn. Alright. I love each and every one of you. I know this is kind of a heavy topic, but remember I told you that when we get to this part, it's not gonna be fun and games. Um, and yeah, this is the part where you said, let's get to the exciting part. Well, we are in the exciting part and we're just getting started, and it's going to be bad, but um, it's gonna be bad because God is pouring out his judgment on earth and God has warned us to avoid this thing, so it's it's kind of I hate to say it so bluntly, but if you you end up in that kind of position, then it's because you didn't heed God's word. All right. I love each and every one of you. Stay tuned for next week because we're gonna get into the trumpets and then we're gonna get into the vials. And then once we get into the vials, then some things will change. All right. I love each and every one of you. I hope to see you in the next one. God bless you. Bye bye.
