Specifically, we'll be talking about the rapture, whether or not it's biblical. We'll be talking about the mark of the beast, the number 666. And towards the end, we're going to talk about what Jesus meant when he said, "I don't know the hour that cometh."

Look, I want to share with you guys something early on when I first got saved. Legit, I would be scared of whether or not God, like, if God was to come back from the rapture and, like, to tell me basically, I never knew you. You didn't make it? Yeah, like, you didn't make it, but more so, I never knew you, right? Matthew 7, 21 to 23, always put fear in my heart. Not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord, shine into my kingdom, but those who do the will of my Father in heaven." And then he says, "I never knew you." So, right when I got saved, I would have this piece, like, part of my heart was, like, peaceful, like, "Yo, I know Jesus is real. I know he made us righteous. I know he made us perfect." But then the other part would be like, "But what if all of this is a lie? Like, what if you're not actually saved?" And you're just, like, tricking yourself like you did with the gangs and your pseudo-family and the drugs and whatever. Like, what about all of that? And it really put a lot of fear in me for, like, I think it lasted, like, almost two years, where I was sitting there and I wasn't sure of my salvation. And a lot of that came from me thinking that I had to maintain my salvation. I noticed this specifically with baby Christians or, like, new Christians. They're always thinking that they have to basically maintain their salvation, get ready to be prepared. And then they read verses like I did. I would read verses like you have to overcome and those who endure till the end will get to heaven. And then I would argue that, wait, that's not grace then because, yes, he gave it to us, but I have to endure. And it just brought a lot of confusion. Until one day I realized that 1 Corinthians 14 said that confusion doesn't come from the Lord. He doesn't give us a confusing spirit and doesn't give us a spirit of fear. All I was feeling for those days was fear and confusion. So the first two years of my walk wasn't just me being argumentative with Pastor, but more so me trying to convince myself and, like, going back to pastor every time I felt really lacking. I felt like I lost my salvation. Until one day it clicked where he said, if you want to confirm your salvation, where should you confirm it? And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, if you want to confirm that you're saved, where should you confirm it in your feelings, what you see or the book? And I was like, dang. And he goes, when you feel like you're not perfected and you feel like you have to do certain things, go to the Bible that says Hebrews 10 14 and see if it changes, which is my saving verse, you're perfected forever.
And that was the unlock that I needed to see. And here was like, man, I'm not actually, I'm struggling not with this idea that I'm not saved. It's just when the enemy comes and tells me that I'm not, I believe his voice more than the word of God. And I didn't know that salvation, that I didn't know the context, and I was taking that and just blanketing it like, oh, it says this. And it says that when two people are in a field, which is a rapture verse, one is going to be taken and one is going to be left behind. And I saw the movie like left behind. I don't know if you guys seen that, but it was like a 2004 2005 film, where basically it talks about the rapture. And essentially, they didn't do well and they got left behind and everyone else went to heaven and it was just pure chaos in the earth, which is what a lot of people believe. So, yeah, I kind of want to get into that a little bit what the rapture actually is, but have you guys ever felt like that you were saved and did you ever think like, dang, I don't know if I'm saved or did I mess up or did you ever question it? You better not. To be honest, I've never really had that thought as like a lot of other people like the. Because you have a great teacher. I wonder who he is. Who's your teacher? So it's funny that you say that because I've had a different version of the thought, right? It's like. I'll be like this past Sunday, I'm like, I don't want to go to church. Because I'm tired. And God doesn't like my salvation or whatever. Like my salvation doesn't depend on my church attendance. And this guilt that I'm feeling that, oh, if I don't go to church, God's going to be accepted. Except upset at me doesn't come from God anyways. Dang, well, we would tell you all of that. Well, hold on. But then I'm like, okay, well, am I being selfish? So then I'm like, man, I feel guilty about just being selfish. Like all this week, I did whatever I wanted, right? Even though the job is built around God, I'm like, overall, I still do what I want, right? I never miss like Muay Thai or if some friend, if you guys invite me out to dinner, most times I'm there. But for some reason, I can't go to church one time a week. So then I felt that kind of guilt. But then I'm like, but that doesn't come from God either. So then I was like, but then I was like, okay, but can I, is it me just being so weak to my flesh that I'm like trying? I'm just so comfortable that I think I can get away with it. You know, so I'm like going back and forth and back and forth. And I'm like, you know what, it wasn't hard for me to come to church for an hour, right? I can do that for the person that has helped every part of my life, even though I'm tired or whatever.
It doesn't mean I have to be like perfectly attentive or whatever, but I should just go anyway. Yeah, right. But overall, I'm like, that's probably the battle a lot of people feel where it's like, you know, some days they're just tired and they want to give into their flesh and then they feel guilty that they gave into their flesh. And then they're like, it's just, yeah. So do you know where the unlock is in all of that, Jeremy? What do you think the unlock is in all of that? It don't matter what I do. No. No, the unlock is just just backtrack three years ago. Did you ever think like that? No, I didn't go to church. Exactly. You didn't three years ago, you were like, even in every thought process where you like, oh, let me trace this. Let me like, you know, you would just make the decision. I have a plan. I'm going to move forward. I don't know anything about grace. I don't know anything about conviction, condemnation and none of that. You just like led how you led the fact that you can sit there and go, okay, this isn't from God, but then this also isn't from God, but then like, it's like, this is the unlock. This is the deep thinking. Perfect. That added another layer to it. But for me, I'm like, well, I have Pastor Kim and Johnny that I could call it any second if I really was spiraling. But there is probably somebody out there going through this exact same process. I don't have it. But then it's just spiraling, even though they're trying to be a good Christian. Yeah. So I did think about that. I'm like, I'm lucky because I'm in this state that I could, if I really was like battling about it, I could have called you. Right.
But for somebody else out there, they're probably going through the same process of. I'm safe, but I'm not and it's probably not even as. It probably is a more difficult problem than just do I go to church on Sunday? Sure. So what would you say to that person, even though they're. You know, thinking their thoughts through the thoughts could be making them spiral more. Yeah. So that's why I always tell you you have grace because that's not normal. What you go through is six. High IQ. High grace IQ. God gave you high grace low IQ. Now, since you said that, no, just kidding. But genuinely, I'm really, really smart. I pick up things easily. Just say, come on. Give me the compliment. This guy is crazy. Now, like when you receive a lot, I always tell you, Jeremy, right? I'm always like, bro, you receive a lot of grace. And that's the thing early on before everything was rolling and we had 33 members on the team. And I was like, you're like, Oh, yeah, okay. I remember that. I remember that. But you slip into it and then be like, Oh, yeah, true grace grace. It's not really happening as much nowadays, which is really cool. That's again, the level up, but just like it because I don't hit you up. No more. No, that's not true. Yeah.
Yeah, it is. This guy is horrible. Do you got to call me more? But anyways, genuinely, like it's some people just don't have the grace because they're a little bit further behind or they're like further along. I'll give you an example, right? I had to take these mandatory classes on Saturday and Sunday. It was from like nine to six and it was really amazing because I met a lot of people. But one thing I noticed was everybody is good in that class. We had like these two OG Jewish guys who are studying Judaism. We had a district attorney in there. We had all these people in there and I was looking at everybody and their accolades. One guy was a lawyer, whatever, whatever. And I'm like dude. I am the most lacking person here legit. I didn't I didn't have just like low key just putting Claude bought on the bottom like what the hell does this mean like and I just didn't understand but the only reason why I was able to be in the same room was genuinely as cliche as it sounds because of Jesus. I looked at them and obviously these guys weren't really believers right they weren't talking about that they're talking about like politics and just how to like you know they're just you know they're their their worldviews and I saw that every single person in there was good people like they'll help the homeless to give the shirt off their back straight up like philanthropist energy and I'm over here like dang you guys care about that like I don't even care about stuff like that but I got very emotional because when I had seen that the little things that bothered them in this world they were so adamant about certain things with the war and everything in my heart honestly I was like bro I don't care I could care less about these other things like I'm I'm just trying to live my life I'm not worried too much about any of that other stuff and I'm Christian so when I saw them the one thing that really like broke my heart but also made me happy was the grace aspect these people were just so good they were like trying to get my number Johnny let's exchange like we exchanged numbers I'd love to hear more about your story blah blah like they were so like invested in a person like me who was random I didn't know them 48 hours
ago and when I when I saw myself I was like going to God and I asked the same kind of question like why is it that they struggle so much about those little knickknacks they little things bother them so much and nothing really bothers me anymore and I kind of like got emotional because I was like dang God I'm worse than these people and yet you gave me the grace to see you know what what they can't really see which is the the real issue is not there is is not that there's too much evil in this world it's evil people trying to be good and then trying to be their own saviors and like didn't know Jesus no relationship with him and I'm not even talking about religion just relationship with God and I just felt like very heartbroken but then also very like uplifted and very like thank you God I'm not a person who can even receive this I would I would be just in the same boat if not worse but why me and the only thing that came to my mind was grace it wasn't because I went to prison I like gang of homies went to prison and died I have homies who been to prison and and you know it never changed your life the instructor there was telling a story about his friend who went to print who did 17 years in the pen got out got married went to church you know did everything right and then comes in one day to church and goes you know they're all talking in the inner circle and the one of the guys is asking that guy hey man how's everything he's like not good my wife found out I cheated like on her it's really bad and just walked out walked out right and everyone was the same reaction like whoa what the hell and he's like okay cool so I try to call him you know but I forgot second day I'm like okay I'm gonna call this guy forgot third day I was gonna call him forgot fourth day I'm gonna call him ended up calling yo he killed himself so he's like you know and then I could see he was getting emotional and he was just like I'm not saying that the his you know unaliving was was my fault but he's like telling everyone guys check in on your people which Hondo P I agree with that but I was able to kind of see like dang that that could have been me like I could have made it out got a good job got away and then still couldn't deal with my lust my depression my loneliness my emptiness whatever it is all my trauma compounded in prison and bro left behind a family left behind his girl left behind everybody I was able to really think like dang God in that moment nothing else mattered except for the grace that you gave me and I'm driving home I was just like noticing even the smallest things there's I'm wearing California there's palm trees all the time but I was able to like
see it's not like the palm trees changed my heart changed the Bible when I was reading it same words that I've read for years hit different because the words don't change in the Bible my heart was changing so I was able to see like oh my goodness there's even now there's things that God allows me to see in small little classes and things like that to be able to recognize my own heart posture and I think that's just the one thing everyone has to realize is and I was saying this on discord stage today that if you just think about other people and you think about the grace that you receive then it really is true that everything becomes a blessing so to answer your question it's just more of grace but when you don't sense that or even think deeply about that or don't just open your eyes to There's a resistance where you can't understand people as clearly you think you can but it's it's just not the same when things unlock And so it made me feel a lot more compassionate even towards people who hate on me. It was weird I'm like dang They have that much hatred. They have that much heart to make a video about me And like even at the gym that person was judging me for having a tripod because i'm trying to take care of my health Like if those little things bother people I can only imagine what actually in their day-to-day life How miserable people really are and it broke me. It was like dang I can't believe I I got it so good And people don't have it like that and it's not like oh i'm better or like it's from a position of being pompous But grace really does mend everything it makes everyone really wake up a little take a step back assess reflect and go dude, this is Like we're very lucky to be where we're at And yeah, it was it was just crazy into the end of times theme for someone who's you know For someone who's listening in right now and they feel super overwhelmed And about what's going on in the world and they're trying to understand grace like at least i have a house over my head or my job Or whatever, but their mind just keeps getting dragged by like anxiety or uncertainty Yeah, um, what does the bible actually say about living through times of uncertainty? Yeah, so if you cast all your fears on him, he will watch for you, you know As crazy as this is I used to really think why does god allow evil things to happen
Why does he have to have things allow things to end like end times? Why does he allow wars and all this evils of cancer you name it And I recognize something it's because just like in what I was expressing earlier. I've been a christian for 10 years now And even me I don't get the grace part completely correct and accurate I realize that It's not god that's causing issues, but we refuse to see The goodness of him so he has to do things That get our attention so to answer the question if you're going through depression and anxiety. Trust me. I've been there It's necessary as crazy as that sounds and you guys know because pastor would say that about me I was an over thinker and not only that I was extremely pessimistic Everything I would think about the worst case scenario It doesn't matter what it is like even if it's my homies even if people are giving me money. I'm like they want something That's why they're doing like I could never see The positive side of things especially even after getting saved and early on I think it was just a survival mentality But I realized that Pastor would say johnny whatever you're going through don't try to change it I'm like no, but I should stop being I should be less negative if I can and he's like sure But just just hear me out When your heart gets to a position and you can actually reflect back you're gonna see how god uses your negativity to actually bring you closer to him When he said that I remember it was in october of 2016 I I genuinely was like what the hell is this guy talking about like My negativity will bring me closer to god. That doesn't even make sense. Like what are you saying right now? But when I look back at it now It's true me being negative and going through what I went through Allowed me to spiral more until I got tired of myself to go bro Your negativity doesn't do anything but drain you How about we try to like think about god side and and god was like allowing it because he could have stripped it away And then I wouldn't learn the lesson. He allowed me to sit in it as crazy as it is my anxiety my depression my loneliness He allowed me to sit in that to be like if you choose yourself
How does it feel to be here as crazy as it is not in a way like wagging his finger like it was more of a nurturing like johnny I have this route for you But because I love you I can't force you here love honors choice So i'm going to let you choose but I just want you to think How does it how was it when you chose yourself and you're in this predicament right now? It doesn't feel good. So can you just please come to me? It was almost like god was begging me to like come to him to be like bro. I I got you. I know it's good for you and When that clicked to me which was around 2018 That's when I was like oh my goodness like God, thank you. I get it now I get why because you need me to fully let go just like you need me to fully let go of my gang stuff Like you have to let me to like you have to lead me to that But you're not going to force me to do it. So you're going to let me kind of play it And that's genuinely what happened to me. That's actually like super helpful. How would you then apply that to when the things are out of your control? Like for example, it is very, it's very clear that our country is run by PDF billionaires that are choosing their own path to do whatever they want. And we're fighting other wars for other countries while we have homelessness, starvation, gas prices, like we're destroying other countries that we should have no business in because of certain issues. I don't want to like say my political views. Yeah. So then that part, I'm like, it's difficult. Yeah, I'm like, you're allowing that for whatever reason, which makes sense. It's free choice, but it's now affecting us. Yeah, it's affecting everybody around us. And I'm grateful in a lot of ways that I'm not going through electric car, baby. Don't have to got it at the right time.
Don't have to buy gas, but even then, right? Um, I got a gas powered car. What you get for wanting to drive a guy, you should be humble and not drive it all. True. You should ride a horse. Yeah, with tricycle. Yeah. No, you know, so like how do you apply that to when it like it feels like it's out of your control and other people are now, you know, other people are affecting your world. Yeah. So that's what is causing you to go to God more. Me too, when I see all the stuff, I'm like, dang, gas prices are rising. It just feels like evil is when it's evil 100%. It feels like it. But again, that's why God is training us, you know, and I'm so thankful that for 10 years he's been training me where it's like, don't trust what you see. At the end of it, like he got his triumphant, but he got to get, let people feel like they're going to win and then boom, it's like that counter punch. You guys ever watch people fight and they're getting just Molly walked. And then all of a sudden it's like they just come back with like the last haymaker that just knocks and like flips everything upside down, right? This is kind of the energy that God has where it's like you guys are panicking, but I already know what the end result is. Do you guys trust me? And at that point, I do, I think about it too, right? I watch all these videos at times, videos that you send where the Asian guy, he makes a valid point. He's predicted things about Trump's election, et cetera, et cetera. But I'm like, okay, that's true. That can be real, but what about God though, right?
He's in it all. And I understand the mission here, God, like you need people to break down more than ever because we're more abundant than ever. We're more connected at least through social media more than ever. And it's almost like we're straying to a position where we don't need you. So when you look at God's pattern and how he uses things, like whether it's hardening Pharaoh's heart or allowing the Egyptians to overtake the Israelites and enslave the Jewish people, like, why would you allow that? But it's to tell them. And when we go through numbers, even now I can see the change of the heart, which mirrors the world right now. It's like, we need certain things to oppress us as crazy as that sounds. We need certain things to hurt us to turn back to God. It's so crazy. You said that it all clicked for me too, just now because four years ago, five years ago, no one was turning to God because it was amazing. Only fans was the biggest thing ever. Everybody, like money was flowing. Everyone could do whatever they want, even eight years ago, right? Everyone makes the 2016 joke, right? Like, but we're suddenly seeing this wave. It's actually the younger generation that saw our generation. We chose what we want. And they're like, I don't want that. They're drinking less. They're choosing church. Yeah, no clubs. No. Yeah. So it's actually very interesting that you say that that in a lot of ways that we
chose our own path and look what happened. Also, it's revealing a lot of things. I think there's a lot of people waking up to, wow, I can't necessarily trust the government or, wow, I'm fighting against my neighbor who has this different view, but really both sides on the back end are wanting to fight for whatever reason. What are we fighting for? A hundred percent. So that's biblical too. It's like Satan, which is a true enemy, just has to make you guys think you guys are the enemies so he could, we could miss him, right? And so I say that all the time, Satan doesn't want to, you know, he doesn't want good. He doesn't want unity. So obviously he's going to sit there and he's going to pit us against each other. And he's going to make you have political views and you have political views. And both of you guys end up in the same place. Like as long as he does that, he's winning. Satan is a master manipulator, but more than anything, he's a distracter. He loves to just distract people with things that just don't matter at the end of the day, right? And of course there are things that do matter, but that's why there's this thing called faith where it's like, hey, Lord, because if you guys really think about it, there's nothing that I could really do, right? And right there when I say that, I know the enemy will. why I see if they didn't fight and they didn't do this and they didn't do that. And you know, if they didn't fight to like abolish slavery, then what do you think there's obviously these hearts, right? But you have to understand a lot of these people are also God led the same people who abolished the same people who are like, no, all humans are equal under God. Like we need to push that. It was always God led in the in the in the center. So I'm not saying don't do anything, but you have to have God in the middle. You have to in any relationship. If I sit here and I try to be good to someone and that person tries to be
good to me, that is limited because we're finite and we're imperfect as human beings. But if you use the standard of God to be in the middle, okay, that's God's daughter. That's not just my wife. Okay, that's God's husband. That's that's God's, you know, son, that's just not my husband. When you have this type of mindset, you guys meet in the middle and you meet in front of God. If I genuinely thought about it that day, too, after the class is always like, man, if these guys were genuinely gospel centered and and learn things like don't trust your thoughts, heart is deceitful. And let's say we just taught that to all the kids starting from right now. I really think that people would learn to distrust their intrusive thoughts. They would learn to not follow their hearts, especially when greed arises. They won't follow lust so that these PDF files won't follow fall into that and do crazy stuff. Like if you taught that from a young age and you kind of just indoctrinated that, I don't think people would sit there and like do half of like the evil stuff. Of course, we don't know, but I genuinely the Bible says if you seek the kingdom and his righteousness, God's righteous, not your own, then all else will be added unto you. I think, I mean, a prime example of this is El Salvador. Like if you look at, you know, Naiba Kelly, Naiba Kelly, he's gangster like bro just knew I'm going to attack it at the root. It's not, you know, outwardly and they they were the most dangerous freaking Latin American country like nobody held a candle to these guys. And one of the most dangerous countries in the world in the world, bro, they were killing people like it was wild. The SEO 2018 and MS, right? Just going at it which started out here in our, in our hood in LA of all places. And so the fact that they were able to flip that on its head, Google, YouTube, people are starting to build their infrastructure there. He's starting to, you know, fiber all that. He was very smart. And the one thing he keeps saying is this is not a physical problem or a governmental issue. This is on a spiritual level. We are at spiritual warfare. Why are we trying to fix things with things that are finite to fight things that are infinite or things that aren't tangible, like spirits and principalities. So he just knew the Bible. Like when I look at him, I could see like bro knows at least something about the spiritual realm of things, which I think too many people negate nowadays. And that's why we're depressed because depression is only, it's not a spiritual thing. It's a physical thing. Go to the, go to the graveyard and see if somebody struggles with lust. They don't, they're dead. So they struggle with
depression. They're dead. Anxiety dead. It's a physical thing. So we're trying to attack things that are physical when we're naturally physical, when we're naturally spiritual beings. So we have to start prioritizing spiritual things. But people, you know, put band aids over gunshot wounds essentially, but okay, well, I can go to therapy, which isn't a bad thing. But they lean on that. They lean on everything else. And the last resort is always spiritual stuff. So God has to keep allowing these things to break our flesh down, break our wallets down, break our relationships down, break down all these idols that we lean on so that we can go back to him and fully lean on him. So when I look at what's going on in the world as crazy as it is, a true biblical Christian will be like, bro, this is biblical. Everything that's happening from Israel and all this, it's all written in the Bible. If y'all read it, Jenny, as much as I have, it's all there. It's literally accurate is to the tea. It's almost scary. Like I'll get chills. Just famous end of time versus yes. And I would like you to tell me if these are correct or not. Yes, sir. Aaron, do you have anything to say before you get into this? By the way, I'm sorry. I've just been I know I've had so much to say because you'll talk and then you'll raise your hand. I know. I'm sorry. So by that. So then you'll answer. I know I get I get what I'm doing. No, I've had like three things. I just don't think it. It doesn't matter. I'll take your time. Recall. We go ahead. You guys have had a better conversation anyways. Now recall, come on. This is like Aaron, you're the problem. Like I was thinking like, when you go online and you see all this stuff, like it's definitely people get fed different things. Yes. And maybe certain people need it need to see worse things and others. Like to be honest, I'm willing to bet. And I'm not saying anything about us at all, but you definitely see worse stuff on your feed. You definitely have like a very end of days feed because you'd be interest you or whatever it is. Like, but you can also Oh, ignorance. You should I just feign ignorance? I'm just saying it's like this bad forever. There's been wars forever. These wars are breaking any record. No, no, no, no, no, it's not.
It's never been this bad. Yes, it has. Yeah. To the point where gas has broken in the number of them. Yeah. Gas was higher. Gas has been higher than this. This was like two years ago. Yeah, dude. It wasn't it wasn't seven dollars. Yes, it was. No, it wasn't. Yeah, I saw eight dollars. I remember in LA. It was like maybe like one downtown. OK, OK, regardless of what ever happens there, you're about to see it. I don't know gas prices because I haven't looked at them in a few months. Yeah, you're you're about to you're about to see it get really bad, right? And also even even just the simple stuff. Like I was a business owner. All the tariffs and stuff that was one president like literally so many of my business owner friends collapsed their business overnight because one guy turned to Jesus turned to Jesus. One guy decided he had an ego problem with Xi Jinping turned to Jesus and low key. I'm on Xi Jinping side. I'm like he's keeping the West out. The West is a poison. I understand what Xi Jinping is doing. I'm just saying that we're on both sides. I'm saying back to Johnny's point is that there's a lot of distractions.
And I think certain people, not you or whatever, can fall into them further and just and it distracts them from the word. Not like you felt like it's like not you that felt like a straight. Yeah, not a straight as an example. Let's take you, for example. This is Aaron with his mic. Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody going right now. Like, you know, I have people that smoke too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Max, if you keep it, no, you quit. You're very good. But no, I agree that as a whole, like generations are like straying away from like end of time type stuff. But it's honestly, it may seem worse than ever because media is bigger than ever. And information is spread more than ever. And it's not interesting for people to share all the good news on earth. You just don't see all the good news. But constantly they're healing more cancers than ever solving more problems. But it's just like, that doesn't make for good media. So it's like, you can read into certain things more than others. And maybe it is all just like, don't listen to Satan. Don't let Satan insure your thoughts. You need to focus on what you're focused on. Say, focus on the word. I for one, you know, I'm impenetrable. I stay focused on exactly what I'm focused on. You, however, this morning was my craft to trailer. Like, why don't you think about the world, you know? He's like, he's like, hey, you know, this will start to also affect Aaron when they're
like, yo, the servers are down because, like, we can't afford. He's like, oh my gosh, it's worse than ever. This is the end of times. You can't play. We need God. No more. He's like, we need God now. This is it. God. Where are you? That's what I would really stand to myself. I agree with you. I agree with you that you can shout out. But I also think that there like, there has to be some understanding of where the direction of the world is going in my opinion. Like you can't just be in a bubble of your like, la de da, I'm good. Because that's also a double edged sword, right? I agree. You can't care about everything in the internet forces you to do that. So I understand that the thing you should care about first is yourself. If it is affecting you, then ignore it, right? Like, you don't have to care for everything. Why was saying the thing you should care about first is like the word? I guess yourself too. I mean, I'm saying like, you don't have to care about ice and the war and this and that and everyone telling you that you should like that's obviously extremely draining. Yeah. But overall, I would say, what would you say to that, right? Like thinking about others is a very core message of yours, right? Yes.
So a lot of what you teach is about thinking about others. Yes. But that can also be weaponized. Oh, wait, Johnny, you don't care about the war or oh, Johnny, you don't care about ice. Oh, I care about all of this API. I care about all of that. Why aren't you ever saying on your platform? I don't have to use my platform to talk about it. I bring my platform to God and I go, God, you know what you're doing. There's nothing that I could really do. I'm not studied in politics. What the heck am I going to do? Hey, guys, some guy who doesn't know anything tell everybody else who doesn't know anything. Like, I'm not good. I would be the blind leading the blind. I know my lane. Amen. I genuinely don't know anything about that. I'm not studied on that. All I am is Bible, Bible and I read it upside down Bible, Bible, literally you read upside down. That's pretty cool. Yeah. But basically I think about this. If I go and I march and I mobilize all of you guys, my four million, you know, member army or whatever it is across all platforms, let's say we don't even agree amongst each guy. Let's go storm the White House is like, no, I'm okay. What the hell? Why not?
And we would literally not make it out the gate. We'd be bombing on each other. So when I think about it, why not just go to God who literally knows. think about it if god is all power all powerful all knowing almighty we have to learn to go to him first people are trying to handle things ourselves and i was having this discussion with with the pastor who was like i i i disagree with you johnny i think with the knowledge and wisdom that we have we need to go and we need to fight because we have god on our side and i straight up was like do you think god needs us to fight for him and that froze him he's like look well no but i mean well like it's like it's difficult right so we have to be cautious i think good intention is important we have to be cautious when good intention turns into like pushing your own agenda too i i know this firsthand from gangs you join the hood for protection everybody from the crypts to the bloods to the homies to asians to the others to whoever everybody from a hood is usually joining the hood because they're getting they're in in a dilapidated impoverished impoverished place where like literally you have to protect yourself i know i did i know certain streets in the s uv early 90s late 90s early twos early 2000s you couldn't walk down you would get jumped i would get jumped on the daily like just to just getting home by another race so of course you're going to have to join the neighborhood right but that then turns into what like wow brotherhood right which is all beautiful joining the hood for protection now you got instant protection you got instant brotherhood you got instant power you got finances you got homies who got money will give you money but then what does it turn into later though robbing gang war murder straight up drugs alcohol people betraying i seen homies shoot each other in the face like killing a homie killing a homie knowing him since he was you know pamper status so at the end of the day good intention is always great sure but does it stay like that though it never stays like that think about all the times that you you know made the decision to choose close friends with people and beat like it's very rare that you have multiple best friends it's usually like one maybe two if you're lucky and like even them you can't go to like you can't go to them for everything right so humans are just naturally this way why would i depend on someone who's like that including myself that's just straight foolishness i i have to go to god i have to go look god i don't know you know i think i know i try to know i can't so whatever it is that i don't know i'm gonna let you handle it because you know that's literally just basic stuff if i don't know how to change my
my oil in my car i don't try to figure i can but i'm trading things off time which is money as well um i can get injured i know people who've you know my friend's grandpa like was trying to save a couple bucks respectfully and the car like rolled over and like off of the the the jack and and killed them like over what you know what i mean like leave that to a professional with the professional like yes so it's just there's things that yes you can do things your way hundred p but it's so much better there's a way there's a right way to do things there's a wrong way to do and that comes to spiritual life too i don't know what's going on with the world i think it's it's way ahead of our ahead of us right america started with 1776 there's been corruption since when i don't know how long you're gonna just somehow like rise to the occasion and when people do and they have those revolution revolutionary shifts amen hallelujah but amen hallelujah meaning that's god who did all of that he inspired people to do those things so i'm not saying for you guys not to do anything handle your business but your heart has to be like yo i'm gonna do this by grace all i'm asking is operate positionally from grace study the politics go in there with the heart to change the laws i speak to cops all the time sheriffs all the time who are like i really wanted to change my life and change my community and when they went in they realized the community isn't the problem is the department that's corrupt and they saw that and was like dang either conform or die that's it and they had to conform and they're depressed because they realized bro i went i genuinely had i love my neighborhood i love my people and i want to serve and protect the community but i go in there and it's not like that and so they have to like but then they gotta you know pay their bills and they try to help out where they can and then if they feel almost lukewarm but in a sense that's not spiritual right so they're playing both sides of the fence and they feel like a fraud That I have no control of anything. Like, I can't change another person's mind. And a lot of the times, like, they're not the enemy either. It's a deeper rooted issue. And we can get into all of that. But at the end of the day, why not just be like, Hey, God, inspire me to do good. Sure. I'm going to follow you and I'm going to, you know, study and do whatever I got to do. Yes. But I leave the outcome to you because I could do all of that. And I've seen so many people. There was a cop who was like everyone loved the Christopher Dorna guy. Do you guys remember him? Yeah. Bro was L. A. P. I think L. A. P. D or L. A. S. D. I forget. And he was, he just snitched on his superior because he's like, this is wrong. You step in on the chest, tightening up the Cubs, beating people. And then he got shunned. Everybody hated him. And bro just went vigilante shape Batman mode. Like, I'm going to start smoking people. And he did. And he would only target cops. He killed people in O in O C, you know, all the crazy stuff, right? And in the end, like the shootout happened. I think it was in Big Bear somewhere. And then he passed away. But like, that's what happens when people go, I'm a good person. I'm going to change the system by myself. I'm going to try to like, you know, and even if he took the other route personally, I think if he went and became a politician and, you know, rise up the ranks politically. I don't, I still don't think he would have made the impact because the way that the system is set up, the way that what people don't realize in this world is that it belongs to Satan. That's why when Jeremy's saying, it looks like evil is winning. It is because that's how the way the world is made. People think it's God of this world. Yeah, there's a God of this world, little G, which is Satan. And Satan wasn't lying when he sat there and he said, all this power that he gave me, I shall give to you these kingdoms. God was like, you can handle all of this because you're a dog on a leash. I'm going to use you to do what you need to do so they can turn these people back to me. And so Satan thinks he's winning. He's not. He's allowed certain provisions to like obviously affect us in certain ways. But at the same time, God has the last laugh. That's why he says he's the alpha beginning, Obenga, and he doesn't say he's the middle.
What we're transitioning through right now is what's going to cultivate our relationships with God. So what's going to turn us to God, right? Again, I didn't think I needed to go through why I didn't think I need to go to prison. I didn't think I need to go through whatever I went through in my life. But when I look at it now, I'm like, dang, the prison term ended, the California Youth Authority term ended, and now I understand why you let me go through that. While I was going through it, I was like, man, this is horrible. The justice system is corrupt and blah, blah, blah, of course, of course, but I needed that to happen as crazy as that sounds. And I think a lot of people can't handle that. They can't handle when you tell them when they're going through something, hey, you need to go through this, because then it becomes like, what, you're better than me? Well, what do you mean? You don't even understand what I'm going through. You didn't go through that. And that's exactly what the enemy wants him to think. But when you really go through it, mark my words, guys. Whatever thought that ever comes to your mind, it's never as bad as what it is. Like, if you think about it, I know times where I was like, dang, I have no more money right now. I'm literally going to die. I'm going to starve. That's like, again, where my mind would go to, and I'm not there now. So, and then we quickly forget that all the anxiety, all the depression, the nights of spiraling. So then once we get a dub, we're like, oh, wow, yeah, I knew it. Like, we forget so quick how much we're like crying and bawling our eyes out because we don't have, we're living paycheck to paycheck and we lost our job or our kids aren't listening. And later you get older and you're just like, oh, 10 years went by. Oh my gosh. Like, I thought I was going to die like literally 10 years ago. Like, it's never, ever what you guys perceive it to be. Because God's not just going to sit there and fold his arms and go, yep, this whole world is crashing and burning. And I can't do anything about it. Like, are you kidding me? Can you make a snap his fingers and make everybody straight, make everybody like, you know, super, super perfect, but he's not going to do that because then we would not appreciate the good that we have. We would not appreciate, you know, the wealth that we have, the health that we have, everything. So, yeah. I can't snap his fingers and make everyone straight. This guy. You're sweet, but yeah leave it Leave it to the professionals. You spent so long studying the Bible. That's why people come to you for the Bible. It's like you're not gonna comment on the economy or something like that. - Yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna say. - It's just so annoying when someone's a musician. It's like the last thing I like is when a musician, use your voice, use your voice for things like for sure. But the last thing I like is when a musician is commenting on some geopolitical issue. I'm like, what do you know? Aren't you in the studio all day making beats? They put the beats in the bag. Like I don't need to hear-- - I can put the beats.
- I'm gonna trust the professionals who do this all day, every day. You're just reiterating something you saw anyway. - Yeah, facts. - Don't trust these people. - Fake news. - Fake news. Fake news. - All right, so I'm gonna say the verse and you tell me if you know where it's from. - Yeah, okay, what-- - Mr. Brent-- Hey, no, don't look at the cheat-- (laughing) Revelation 13, 16 to 18. Nope, that's not the one I'm reading. (laughing) Daniel 7, no, 23 to 24. - No, you're not touching it, you're touching it. You're touching it, you're touching it. - So remember that guy, Cabaya? He's like, "So, Cabaya, what's 66 and 12?" And he's like, "Oh, how many pulls out his phone?" (laughing) Okay, so anyways, Revelation 13, 16 to 18 says, "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, "free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand "or in their foreheads, and that no man might buy or sell "save he that had the mark or the name of the beast "or the number of his name. "Here is wisdom. "Let him, that hath understanding, count the number
"of the beast, for it is the number of a man, "and his number is 603 score and six." - Oh man-- - Okay, so this verse, a lot of people, it's just, you know, they've made movies off of this, books, it's the mark of the beast, and so most people hear this verse and they think of-- - Which is, what's the number, what's 604 score and whatever it is? - 666. (laughing) - 666, so listen, a lot of people think that there's movies and all kinds of theories that are built off of this, mark of the beast, they're thinking bar codes, they're thinking Neuralink, they're thinking AI, whatever it is, so-- - Yeah, yeah, so what is it then? What is the challenge? - What is this actually talking about? - Mr. Brainiac's smart guy who knows everything. - So Revelation 13, 16 to 18, which he just read. When you guys read the Bible, you have to understand the context of who it's written to, context is, why is it written? - That's what I was gonna say. - Why is it written, who is it written to, what is it addressing? - Addressing. - Guys, don't be like Jeremy. But, so 666, he says it's the number of man, right? First and foremost, people don't understand. If you guys know Hebrew Aramaic, it's alphanumeric, what does that mean? It means numbers mean letters and letters mean what?
- Numbers. - Good, numbers mean letters. - You didn't know that. - He knows Hebrew, you know Hebrew Aramaic. - Yeah, you didn't know anything. - He's like Shalom, no, I'm just kidding. But, so when it's 666, when you put those letters together, it spells Nero, Emperor Nero, right? And it's Caesar, Neuron, basically, right? When you look at that. Now, what this is talking about is Rome, guys. So, when the verses tell you that, two shall stand in a field. One will take them, will be taken away. It's not saying that God is gonna come down in a cloud and pull people away. It's talking about the Roman Empire contextually, geographically, at that time. So, when Romans were ruling at that time, right? It was like modern day America. They just had the juice at the time. And they were oppressing people. They can come and take people away. And that's why, even with Jesus, they're like, with this money, who should we pay when we pay taxes? And Jesus goes, look at the coin. Whose face is on that coin? Caesar, right? Emperor Nero, right? And if you take this, you have to pay the tax to him. What he's actually explaining here is context. Guys, we're still under the government.
We can't just do whatever we want, understand. And that was the Roman currency back then. Was they would have the coin with him on it, which is his name, Nero, right? And it would be 666. So the numerical value would then make people realize, oh, this is talking about him. Again, a man, the number of men, right? Let me go a little bit deeper on this. - Yeah, well, what's this beast? It mentions a beast. - Yes, so I'm gonna explain, mother, mother, mother, mother. - Get there faster. I have a short attention span, TikTok. - Okay, true. - Brain rotted. - So the number six represents man. Why? Because what was created on the sixth day? So number six represents man because on the sixth day God formed man out of the dust a fad of the earth right Blue the nafesh into his into his lungs and he became a living being now 666 what does that represent? Well, there's three sixes six six six Now in Hebrew tradition in Jewish tradition Correct me if I'm wrong all of you guys who are Jewish if you say something like holy holy holy It means perfect complete holiness. That's why they go holy holy holy and Daniel and Psalm Holy holy holy holy faith faith when you say things three times it means complete, okay now Think about this for a second 666 represents what man man flesh flesh cuz man is flesh So if you are flesh flesh flesh complete flesh
Right because now when you say holy holy holy three times it means you're completely holy What do you say flesh flesh flesh man man man? What are you completely man and if you're completely man? And you have no spirit. What are you a beast? Do you guys understand what I'm saying? So people don't recognize that's why he's he's giving the context here and then There's also something that's pointing to what you guys don't know is an unholy trinity So what is a trinity three triune? It's God yahova, right with the father. It's Yeshua, which is Jesus's son, and then it's the wrong Elohim right the spirit holy spirit, right now What Satan tries to do is he tries to put six man in each position for example your man Six and he tries to make you the judge judging good and evil Who's the one true judge only God can judge so he goes no no you're the judge, too You lead your life you guide your life you judge your life you judge everybody else in your life You're the judge so he puts he replaces God idle worship and puts you on the throne that only he can sit in That's first six second six is the son what did the son come to do he came to die for your sins But then what do you do he replaces that with works? No, you got to repent for your sins You got to do good for your sins. You got to do well. You got to try harder. You got to do better You got to save yourself From yourself AKA then Jesus isn't the Savior. You're the Savior so you're now Jesus six that's the second six What's the Holy Spirit's job to guide us to comfort us so what do you do you then become six look in the drugs instead of God For comfort looking to guide yourself and right then and there he made Six six six you acting like a beast know nothing to do with the Spirit and this is what he means I bet you didn't know that now give me your money Okay, okay smarty pants. What about this one? Daniel 7 23 to 24 says That oh you're throwing up your hands like you already know are you here to help the people or you're just gonna be No, these are just the most funniest things listen to me carefully every single verse you guys are gonna bring up Well, what if it's overcome? Well, what if it's what if it's all about Rome Just understand the Septuagint Greek Greece Greco Roman It's all about Rome when he goes women shut your mouth right in second Timothy stop talking Right you need to stop braiding your hair and you need to pray and close your mouth and study more
Men most people will be like oh see it's cuz girls are big. Yeah, they're freaking horrible. We gotta shut their face So you go shut your face up right so they don't understand the context Guys, it's all about Rome New Testament is written in Rome. It's in Coney Greek What that means is everything in there is going to talk about grief Laodicea lukewarm is Centered between Hierapolis and Colossae Greece Greco Roman Asia, but still Rome Understand so all of this is wrong just understand that and now when you read it don't be like oh my god Fine, I gotta go to heaven. No, you got to read there and go. Oh, this is Greek. I know you guys are gonna get mad They may well he thinks he knows it all but Johnny at one time you didn't know anything I know I know that and you guys are getting fast track. So lower the anger lower the pride Listen to me carefully think about it from my side So many people who have not read the Bible come to me and go. I know what this is look it Faith what that works is dead look guys. It's not that hard to understand. Who is it writing to? If Harry Potter is writing to freaking Harry with JK Rowling is writing about It's the same thing with the Bible, guys. It's not just and I don't blame people for this, but they think like everything in the Bible is for us. And they read everything prescriptively, like a prescription. Okay, take two for seven days. Okay. So, and then they treat it like that. Okay, God said, do this. Okay, I have to do this. It's like, but the more you try to do that, you fail. By the way, I don't care about any of this. I know you don't, Jerome. I know that you're just doing it by the way. No, he does care. Come on, come on. He calls me all the time. Okay, but here's the thing, right? He says this. Look at our call logs. I'm glad we're clearing up these verses so you can stop asking about it every day. Kind of tired of hearing of it. All right, Daniel, Daniel seven, 23 24 says, us, he said the fourth beach. Thus, he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms and shall devour the whole earth. Oh, and shall tread it down and break it in pieces. And the 10 horns out of this kingdom are 10 kings that that shall rise. And so, you know, everybody thinks this is modern day prophecy of all these different kingdoms of North Korea and Russia and China. And they're not wrong about that. That they're not wrong. The four kingdoms. Most. Most. Most. biblical scholars, theological scholars will understand it as this Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome. These four are the four beasts, right? And so the reason if you look at history from Hitler to Napoleon, they tried to unite a lot of these kingdoms, not just four, but ten kingdoms. There's a kingdom of brass, there's a kingdom of gold, there's a kingdom of silver, there's a kingdom of titanium. And God says, I separated these on purpose, right? And this is what a lot of if you do any history buffs in here, you guys know what I'm talking about. I'm not going to go super into detail, but this is Daniel wrote this about, I think 500 to like 450 to 500 BC, meaning 500 years before Christ. And he's speaking about the Babylonian times, you guys know what Babylon is. Do you know what Babylon is? What what country is Babylon right now? Per, no, Persia is not Babylon. The Babylon is Persia is Persia. Great. Persia, who's Egypt? Egypt Babylon. That's where they built the tower of Babel, right? Yeah, I know that place. Babylon is Iraq. So I said, so Babylon is Iraq, which is crazy, right? And then Babylon is Iraq. Basically, this is written the four kingdoms of earth, it says, right? On upon earth. So again, he's speaking about Babylon, which is what again?
Iraq. Good. He's speaking about that again, contextually, geographically. Now, when you think about this, talking about the 10 horns out of the kingdom, the 10 kings goes more into like depth of the kingdoms. It's not just speaking about, Oh my gosh, these are some four horsemen that's going to come out and do all this other stuff. And it's again, the rapture. When do you guys think the rapture, which is not biblical, by the way? The Bible doesn't mention in the 100%. It's harpazzo, which in Coney Greek means to be gathered up to be taken. Okay, which is true. That's, that's, that's the closest word to that. And I think in the Latin, it's closer to rapture. That's why they, they pulled the word rapture harpazzo. All that mixed together. But rapture, the idea of rapture is very simple. It's, there's going to be trials and tribulations towards the end of times. And then God will come right before believers are going to get oppressed and killed, boom, and take them. Some people will actually get killed and removed, right? But when they're speaking, again, remember guys, Rome, these guys were already getting killed. So when they're talking about end times in that time, they're living it right there. That's why they're saying these are the end times when they speak it. They're not saying. It's going to come. They're talking about it right then and there, right? So again, people take this thing. So I want to ask you guys, the Bible has been on for 2000 years, right? 40 different scholars over 1500 years, they wrote and they all wrote from miles and miles away, the same message, which is why we believe how is that even possible? How can this guy in Babylon all the way from, I don't know, somewhere else, Asia, they're sitting there and they're like, they have the same notes. Like, that's just, again, very supernatural. That's the belief, okay? how long do you think this idea of the Rapture has been out? Most people would say 2,000 years ago. It came out and it was popularized, I think, in 1800s, like 1830. So it's only been-- this idea isn't even 200 years old, basically. So think about it. You're tripping on an idea about something that's 200 years old, that's pertaining to something that's 2,000 years old. You have to realize, like, we have to be awakened. Like, oh, this is just somebody who perpetuated this, right? And then there was, like, the Nelson's Bible, I think, or-- it was a certain Bible. I think it was in 1900s, like 1909, early 1900s. They started to perpetuate this. The Rapture, the Rapture, the Rapture, the Rapture. And again, people were just like, oh, my gosh, the thing I have an issue with in terms of the Rapture, and there's all these different layers. Pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib. So pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, post-tribulation. The thing I have it is, the issue with that,
is it's all fear-based. And if it's fear-based, then you're obeying out of fear, right? It should not come from the-- From what? The Lord. Good. He doesn't know his own lines. I had to feed them. From my right side, doesn't he? I'm from my right side. So when you think about it, if I'm sitting here and I'm like, OK, I'm going to keep the commandments because I don't want to burn and I'm going to get-- I don't want God to kill me. That heart, it can pass, sure. But isn't it so much better to go, you know what? I'm keeping the commandments because God loves me. I want to do it out of love, not out of fear, right? A lot of you guys, women, especially, are in relationships because you fear something, not because you love the person, right? And I'm not saying this to call anybody out. I'm just saying, you know what it is to be in a loving relationship versus one that your door opens. Oh, my gosh. They treat God like this dictator. If you don't do this, you're going to get smoked. That's not the energy that we need to have. It's a relationship with God.
He is a father and a son. Imagine you treated your dad like that or your dad treated you like that. Hey, son, if you don't do this, and sadly, we know that. Some of us come from those backgrounds where the parents are like, if you don't achieve this, I don't love you, right? And then we also experienced some of you guys come from unconditional. Mark was here from Southway Thunderbelly, cried talking about his mom and dad. He said, I could do whatever I want, and my mother would love me and I knew that as a kid, right? In the same way, that's why he obeys and he's trying to be a good human being and all of that because he does it out of love. He doesn't fear his parents, right? So for us, we just have to recognize that I have an issue with that. Now, most people hold the idea of post-tribulation. So pre-tribulation is before the great tribulation, before the war, before they run out of water, all this stuff, God's gonna come in a cloud, boom, and take us up, gather us in the cloud, and then bring us up to heaven. And the dead shall rise. That's first Thessalonians 14, I'm sorry, four, verse 16 to 17, right? But even that is not what it is. Mid-tribulation is okay, in the battle,
we're about to get killed, oh, and then boom, we get raptured up. And then post-tribulation is we go through all of that, 666 chip, whatever, neural link, you can't buy anything without money, et cetera. Most people hold that view. That after all of this, if you overcome, yeah, then God will put you up there. If you think about that, then what the hell is grace for? Why would Jesus have to die? He could just sit up there and go, I ain't gonna die for you. Let me see if you can overcome everything. And if you can, get on up here. That's a workspace salvation, guys. You have to see through the grass, see through the BS, right? If anything, the tribulations are always gonna be there. We're going through it now. It's just, we're technically in a recession and we're like, wow, like we don't, we've never been able to sense anything. People are like, ever since I got saved from God, Satan has been attacking me more. Sure, I don't think he's been attacking you more. I think you woke up and was like, oh my gosh, this whole time I've been doing this and I didn't even sense it. I didn't realize that I was being attacked. Now I'm more aware. And of course, now that you're more aware, you noticed it more, everything's more heightened.
But it's not, Satan has been trying to kill you ever since you were a googoo gaga straight up as a kid. And so that's what I recognize too. When I reflect back on my life, I'm like, oh my gosh, I could see where Satan was working on me at five years old. Like all this crazy stuff, I got hit by a car, all this stuff, I'm like, dude, this is wild. But you don't, you just go, oh, I was stupid. I ran in the street and I was dumb and blah, and I like I hit, it's like, you start to recognize certain things that weren't there before because of the Holy Spirit. And so it's not any of those things. It's all a distraction. It's all a distraction. Satan just has to convince you that God isn't there. That's all he has to do. Yeah, he's not here. It's look, you prayed. It's bouncing off the wall. Look, you fasted. What do you didn't get anything? Oh my gosh, you heard your dreams and visions back then. What happened? He's gone. And you know what we do without even realizing it? Amen, Satan. You're right. And we never say why Satan. We always say why God.
We never say why Satan. In fact, if we say that we sent, we sent, we feel stupid. Why Satan. Oh, what are you? That's weird. Like that's how cunning Satan is. He's removed himself to go. You know, say another like he's straight up like, I don't speak English like it's a guy. He do everything like that's how Satan is. He is that good and going, I don't have any power, bro. You're God got all the power. Hello, look it. What we don't realize is when we're doing that, we get stretched out. Literally we're like, Oh my gosh. Amen, Satan. Amen. You're, you're, you're right, man. God, why? And we don't even realize we're following him in that way. A good deceiver is that good where a con man is that good where you get licked for everything and you're like, no, he's great. I seen one of those, the, the, I think it was on TikTok. This officer was at 711 or something or somewhere where there was like Bitcoin, right? And then he, she's like, I'm in trouble. She's an old geriatric like 80. She's like, no, I'm in trouble. Why need to pay this money? And the guy's like, yes, sir.
This is chase. Yes. We're working on it. And he's like, this is not chase. Well, this is whatever with the sheriff's department. He's like, no, sir. Let me speak to her. He's like, no, you're scamming her. She's like, no, I need to, I need to give them all them. And she's like, just dropping bread on this food. Right. In the same way. That's how Satan works. He's a con man. No, you need to save yourself. Look, you're messing up. And even when people come to save them, like that cop was trying to save the lady. She was almost like, stop infringing. What the hell are you doing? I'm trying to help my daughter needs help. I need to give them what that's how Satan works. No, you're right. I'm righteous. Yeah, right. Satan's like, yeah, you're not righteous. You messed up. You clicked on on a website. See? Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah, you're now, you know, no, that message is, oh, no, Jesus, can you?
I can't just do whatever I want. We without even realizing it. We're defending this fool. This guy that he's laughing at us. We have to really wake up and realize these things. So all of it guys is a distraction. Mark 13 32, where Jesus goes, no one knows the time. So when you look at Mark 13 32, it says, but of the day in that hour, no, if no, man, not, no, not the angels, which are in heaven, neither the son, but the father. Right? So here's the argument that most people bring to me. Johnny, is God all knowing? Yes. And does Jesus claim to be God? Yes. Then how does he not know? That must mean he's not God. Got him. That's how he do it. It's that simple surface level got him. Now explain first and foremost, guys, you have to understand the context and the principle. When God, when Jesus used the word in Greek, it's, oh, we, da, oh, we, da, oh, idea. It's the same word that's used in first Corinthians two, verse two, where Paul had multiple disciples who made it into the Bible who literally wrote. More than half of the New Testament himself and goes, I determined not to know anything among you save, which means accept Jesus Christ and him crucified. So what does that mean? Does that mean Paul doesn't know anything? He wrote about tongues. He wrote about dreams. He wrote about visions in first Corinthians 14. He wrote that when you speak in tongues, there has to be two or three people. One has to be quiet.
One has interpret and the other one has to go. Yeah, he said it. That's true. So people don't even know that. So he wrote about these things, but what does he say? I don't know anything except for this one thing. Why does he say that? Because that's what matters most. So what does Jesus say here? It's the same heart posture. Guys, stop getting distracted. You trying to figure out when I come back so you can what sit there and play ketchup? Oh, okay. I can gamble until here because then he's going to come back then and I'll just loophole. Like that's what he was trying to cut. He would heal people and he would tell them, don't tell anybody what happened here. Why? Because he knew people would go. Oh, this guy Jesus. All right. I'll believe in him if he could heal myself, which is transactional. So he says, I don't know why so that people could shift off of that. But instead, what do we do? No, see God, he doesn't know. Oh my God. And we start using it against him because that's what Satan does. You think Jesus doesn't know? Are you kidding me? He's a hundred percent man and a hundred percent God. He humbled himself.
If he decides, I'm not going to know this part and I'm going to give it up to God, which he's done so so many times in the Bible. Why can't he do that? Why because why are you even asking that? It's the same question and I'll do a harp posture test with you guys. Maybe you guys he'd catch this. Hey Jeremy so That's Karen asked. No, I'm gonna ask you. Hey Jeremy and Aaron Jaren both of you guys. Hey, so You guys know King Saul? He like had all these kingdoms and he had all these women and like in the end right he leaned on his sword Right, so he killed himself and Jonathan and everyone they killed themselves, right? Can I ask you guys a question? Did he go to heaven? So those who commit suicide like King Saul did did he go to heaven? Yes, what's the harp posture? Damn you failed What's the heart most failed really failed miserably because I said he went to heaven you failed No, he had the Holy Spirit on him. No I don't know The question should not be yes or no the question is why are you asking that? Why are you asking that there you go? Why cuz what I'm basically saying without saying it is so wait Let me get this straight bro had all these women bro did whatever he wanted And he's can he get to heaven? Oh, that's what I want I want to do whatever I want Accessorize Christianity and in the end if I even if I die from it as long as I get to heaven That's okay, right? Like that's the harp posture people have asked that question to me a gang of times And so it's the same thing Jesus sits there and he knows the harp posture of people he senses it And so when people come to me On our last hangout to the same question this guy was like Yeah, man like how do I preach the gospel to people man like you know, I just Like I just want people to go to heaven. It was that simple. So the the answer should be oh, it's simple study Be surrendered remember who you are you're nothing but dirt. It's USPS like I could say all of that But right there I sensed his harp posture his harp posture was I Need I don't feel valid enough as a Christian. I'm saved and I'm not preaching the gospel
So now I need to feel valid So if I save people then I'll be valid selfish Okay, Johnny. How do I save people so I could feel valid? Do you understand what I'm saying and when I checked that he really he was like bro Aaron was there too Aaron to Aaron 1.5. I don't know right our other Aaron, right? He was there and he right the guy was literally like That's true because that's what happens is I don't feel validated But let me spin this question so that it doesn't look like I'm seeking it and it seems right Whoa, what's wrong with asking how to preach the gospel better work called to make disciples of many nations? Where but what's the underlying heart? The underlying heart is I don't have faith that the most validated person in this world? Who created this world knows me by my name knows a hair on my head that even if I didn't preach the gospel He still loves me instead. I don't care about that. I Got to sit there and make sure okay, you're gonna like you're saved by me. You're citing me see God I save these people see like it's this energy and people don't even see it from that position there Most people surface level would sit there and I saw the comments. They're like, oh my gosh. Wow. That's crazy I would have not answered that way of course because it sounds very harmless Hey, how do I preach the gospel so my friends and family get saved and most people would answer the same way? Mr. Jer bear and mr. A Iran answered which is yes, I was playing a character. I knew the answer I was just had to you know play long imagine if I had a perfect answer Imagine The funniest is when he goes no That was silly. He's like, hey, I'm not it's definitely not. Yes. No You know like when they show the dog like biting like though You have a stuffed animal on the show the dog bright, then they smack it. Oh, yeah He's like yes, and you're like no you know, why would you say that you failed like No It's funny like I walked into a trap. So I'm saying at the end of the day It's it's you guys have to think about heart posture. So same thing when somebody's all about trials and tribulations and pre-trib and mid-trib and post-trib and Anunnaki chicken and
Can I do ayahuasca and at like bro you can all are focusing on the wrong stuff? That's what it is and I have to sit there and I have to pick that out of you guys and go look respectfully Be like Paul wrote 14 books and was like I only know about Jesus. He's like Jesus right like he's like he's always like that Pastor Kim one time was who did Pastor Kim say it was so funny he was like am I doing it my how's the sermon for you guys and I think he was like it's all right yeah yeah yeah Jackie's just I love the audience yeah I love the also response of the questions like instantly bro kill it would kill it in jeopardy yeah it's like but Jesus jeopardy G bro bro would kill it would be like that one guy won like 86 games in a row yeah yeah that dude yeah but yeah so it's not that Jesus doesn't know wrap to wrap this back like it's not that Jesus doesn't know he knows but the issue is he he'll sit there and go I don't know I do the same thing when people come and ask me questions and they ask these big brain questions and I'm like I don't know obviously I can break it down for them how many books of you know I don't know how many wise men are there I don't know I know these things but why would I say that because I know where they're at I know what they're looking for I know that their focus is there and I can't be mean enough to be like you don't know you shouldn't be focused on I just go honestly I don't know but what I think I would I think it is we should focus on the gospel nine whole ring yeah that's what it not literally I was just nine times I said oh that's boring I know about the gospel do you though if the whole Bible is about Jesus Christ and Jesus is all about the gospel let's say why does it take 66 books to explain the gospel the way that it is it should have the book should be three pages right it would it wouldn't be a book it would be three pages so again it's there's so many layers of the gospel that people don't even know about they're like whatever I'm gonna drop the the Johnny Chang Bible it's three pages just explains it right yeah but it's no we're doing an added we're doing an annotated Bible though yeah that's gonna be fire well honestly that wraps the episode that was very thorough yeah baby but I just have one final question though and you said it's not biblical but there's no gonna be like movie style rapture we're like the clouds rip open the ground breaks apart yeah yeah this is the end style hands come down and I'm like guys come on I mean like you sat next to me the whole time I'm listed up you sat next to me the whole time I'm gonna
just angle what I've done I don't know take my shoe off the is that all just Hollywood I think that's all Hollywood I mean we will be gathered up in the clouds with Jesus clouds represent Jesus in the Bible as well he's the pillar of cloud that followed them through the wilderness like he follows us through the wilderness through the Holy Spirit again guys got it God is three and one right so it's Holy Spirit Jesus and God the Father all in one so yes there is that I mean there there are like the force horse the four horse men there's like all these little things right that we can get into but at the end of the day it's like bro get there for like just get there just be a janitor in heaven if you have to my goodness like just get there that's the most important thing and most people the there's I've been through so much of these rabbit holes it was horrible I was also a big post-tripper like I believed in post tribulation but again because it matched my heart I was a gangster so I'm like hell yeah we're gonna ride it I was hot on the yard you up like tell them to come bro I can't wait to use a AR fit sorry can't wait to use a 762556223 numbers guys angelic numbers turn people into angels ok but like I literally would I would be like that yeah bring it on hell yeah hope the government can I'm ready for that like again it it matches my heart that's why I would think like that it wasn't matching the Bible though and when you start to realize most of the messages whether it's repentance whether it's forgiveness it is all matching your heart I ask people all the time so if the biblical forgiveness what they think is is and biblical repentance is father got I'm sorry let me actively try to turn away I just ask them one question to follow up if you think that's what it is how many sins you think you committed a day and what about all the ones you don't think are really sins and actually are then what and then they spin it well God would then forgive me for those thing no as in Leviticus it says even sins that you don't know are counted against you sin is sin right if that's the case those people in the islands who don't know about God should go to heaven they don't even know that they're sinning no if you don't have Jesus Christ done so right so again even our repentance is relative and subjective to us oh I feel really bad about this I don't really feel bad about wearing mixed linens though oh that's not even that's the Levitical laws it doesn't matter but Jesus says if you love me keep my commandments keep all the commandments right so again every what we're apologizing for we're asking
questions about alcohol yes about alcohol. - Yeah, if Jesus turned water into wine, why can't we drink alcohol? And I'm looking at, I'm like, just drink alcohol food? Like, what, like, some trying to make it like, you wanna do it, just do it, you know what I mean? But it's always this like, well, you know, it's grapes, it's from the earth, and God said every herb yielding, it's like, "Bro, just do it, do you wanna do it?" - I'd be like, "Yeah, you can go drink "but make it yourself, just have them crushing grapes." - He's like, "Oh, he's like stepping on it, right?" - I don't think, like, Tito's was in the Bible. - Yeah, hey, hey, hey. - Question, then, based on Aaron's goofy question that I would never ask, what's his heart? What's it reflecting to you? - What question did he have? - Remember, does the sky get ripped open and am I gonna have to cling on to your next horse? - He's genuinely curious. It's just curiosity. And he wants to get to heaven. - I'm getting up on this podcast. Oh, he has curious questions, and I know you have curious questions. - I understand the concept of, like, you're asking the wrong things for the wrong reasons, but also, there's just random fun topics that for some reason,
like, who would you guys say are the modern day four horsemen of the apocalypse? - Right, right, right, right. - Obviously, it doesn't matter. Super not important. We were racing our time talking, you're thinking about it, but it could be funny. - Aaron Vales, number one. Who do you guys think? - Aaron Vales, number one. - I think the other one, the other one was gonna make the comments go crazy. - Whoa. - What's the other one? - I was gonna say. - Yeah. - Hey, who's one? Who's your hot take that we'll bleep to? - That was, like, one of the signs of the end. I'm like, this girl is so famous now for saying what? And now she's rug pulling millions of people dollars. I'm like, dang. - It's such a small. Like, his mom doesn't know. - I don't know who that is. - Yeah, he doesn't know that is either. - Oh, that's the girl that was like, huh? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Question. When you were deep in the rabbit hole to you who were the four horsemen. - So the-- - When you were deep in the rabbit hole, though, contextically, just you're four horsemen. - Yeah, I would think the same thing.
I would think, like, just-- It was basically the spawn of the antichrist. So whoever was doing the worst stuff. - Cool, is it, you know, you're four. Just-- - You could bleep it too. - Don't say your homies. - No, it wasn't. - No, I don't know. - I wanna know how to do-- - When was I was trying to think? I'm trying to think, like-- - He had a tinfoil cross on his head. - I think it was all-- [laughing] - My choice. - Yeah, my choice. - That's part of it too. - Yeah, legit, but yeah, I thought it was-- - Really? - Yeah. 'Cause what was-- I liked how smooth-- That bro was smooth, like, he-- But he was just bombing people into a car. Like, there are those gangs, you know, like-- - Yeah. - He's bombing people and like, well, the thing, right? He's like speaking of-- - 'Cause of hope. - Yeah. - Yeah. - He puts numbers to shame. - Yeah. - Legito.
I didn't-- when I researched that, I was like, what? Like, bro, it was way more crazier with the border stuff too. Like, all that, but no one would talk about it, right? Again, just stuff like that. 'Cause biblically too, it's people who hide things really well are usually the antichrist. They're miracles, they're poor. It's so crazy that they're gonna come back and perform signs, wonders, and miracles. Like, that's-- they're literally gonna heal you. You're gonna make Jeremy-- what are you? Five, eight right now? - They're like six-- - Taller, six, eight. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Six, eight. - Yeah. - Six. - Yeah. - Six foot, seven foot. - Heep, the first day, I'm just kidding. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - Heep. - You'll hit your gross bird someday. - Really? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Oh. - It comes later? - You get facial hair, you get taller, all of that. - Oh, sick. - It'll happen for you. - Oh, great.
- It's kind of exciting. - Keep waiting. - I'm excited. - 35, so hopefully it happens soon. - Ha-ha. - Guys, we also think Jeremy's beautiful. I saw some comments, like, all calling us out. Everyone's like, "No, Jeremy's beautiful." - I didn't see that. - We know. - Hey, I don't read the comments because-- - Same. - Again, like, I saw-- I saw it today, I opened up the mark one, and I saw one mean comment about you and I. - Oh. - And I was about to-- I was about to get on the main account and blast the person, and then I was just like, "Wait a second, if I hate care about the negative ones, then you know what I'm saying?" - Yeah, I'm sure. - I was like, "I don't care." - This guy's a trot. - Dude, what I love about it is, like, you could just hide user from channel, and they're just screaming in the abyss. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And they don't know that. Literally, they're just like-- - Yeah, yeah, whoa. - "Jenny, your head's in." - "Here's my unlisted opinion that no one's gonna see." - Ah, it's like, waste your time. Go ahead. - I literally don't read the comments. Only the ones at the very top are, if I'm like, "Yo, leave time stamps." If I see time stamps, I'll click around.
- And we should never even be giving energy to one negative comment out of-- - I wish I could reply on the burner just for fun. of the channel is like roasting this guy. We're so good. We're such good roasts. We're so good about that, too. We don't like mobilize people, man. There's so many people that mobilize our audience, man. We should. Yeah. That was. We haven't been so funny yet. Yeah. Legit, man. We and our audiences is the most gangster audience, too, bro. I literally would make just scenarios. I'm like at Discord stage, I'm like, guys, if I get chipped today. It's okay. Like I'll, you know, I'll talk about these. If I get smoked, I'm happy because genuinely I wasn't able to make it past 21, like I'm I'm good. I made it to 36 was able to preach the gospel. I'm happy where I'm at. Dude, I just see people. Well, bro, we would ride for you. I'm just like, and I look at their, their, their, their profile a little one by one inch pictures and they're like tatted down. Like I'm like, you definitely would ride. So the wheels fall off.
Yeah. Oh, it's so fun. It was like, we'll ride for you. It's Aaron. Like, you're like, okay. Yeah. Even the girls are like, wait, what do they, I'm just like, dude, you're crazy, bro. Like, y'all are, no, what do they call us a cult, bro? They see all these gang members just like, yeah, we'll do that, whatever. Hey, if anybody, I remember, I see people, if any guy they bought, got problems with Johnny, like here's my place right here. They were dropping their barbershop with some barber y'all could, I could run the fade. Like we got a big backyard. No snitches. Like I'll show you guys what time it is. He changed my life. Don't say nothing about him. I'm like, damn, Robbie, 10 toes on the set, but it's just, it's crazy how like literally people can't do that, but I'm always telling them, guys, don't do that. Don't do that. Whatever I drop in the dress. It's just errands. I go come see me pull up outside. That's right. 10 toes on the set. 10 toes on the set. Cook. Cook. You got it right, sir. Hey, it's a Mickey way.
Yeah. We have to clean the set because. Oh, okay, man. I'm so hot. We haven't eaten today. No, we got it literally because I'm dropping a head to them. You guys could have get the. I got it. I got it. I'm saying, let's. Okay. What up? Well, we need to end the show because we need to clean out this entire room because we're getting rid of all the stuff and the podcast is over. Yes. So by the next time you see this podcast is over this podcast is over and by the next time you see it or you won't, it's over, it's over, it's over, this podcast that you see here is over clearing everything out. That is actually true. What are we doing with this couch instead? What are you going to put? Let's just put up. You don't have a couch, right? I have a couch. Oh, you got one. Nice. Oh, nice. Not like you're auctioning off my stuff. You can use. You can use.

If there's anybody that's struggling that's listening, they're going down the rabbit holes and they're staying up and they're having anxiety, God, please ease their heart, Lord. I hope this episode was able to become a resource for them to help them with their emotions and their trials and tribulations to know that the enemy is a lie and that you're the truth, Lord, and the truth always prevails. Thank you, Father God. We leave everything in your hands. And in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen.
