four out of 10 Americans believe we are living in the end times is their belief Justified I’m one of those four is there something extra unique about our time that warrants the extra attention being paid to ancient prophecies my next guest describes the days that we live in as the fourth quarter if he’s right how do we prepare what happens next to answer these questions I brought in one of my dear friends the kindest gentlest man uh I could find to guide us through the end of the world with love truth and maybe even something forward to look forward to welcome best-selling author and Pastor Max Lio [Music] [Applause] [Music] Max as always good to have you thank you so much for being on the uh podcast today Glenn it’s a great honor and uh I hold you in such high regard thanks for letting me be a part of this uh special conversation yeah now um you are known as being a very positive guy very happy I don’t think you have really um really talked in depth about end of days and you just wrote a book on what’s next uh and it it’s all about end of days why now you’re right I have never tackled this topic uh but I uh have in the last two or three years for two big reasons number one I’m getting old and so I know that there’s a lot more sand in the bottom of my hourglass and on the top and and GL I’m just genuinely curious about what’s about to happen I’m about to turn 70 I’m in good health Lord willing I have a lot of years left but I know the clock is ticking and I just I just want to know I just want to know and I’m so excited about what I’m discovering and then number two not only am I curious about the future I’m really concerned about the present these are really severe times in which we find ourselves we’ve got conflicts uh almost too many to account but major conflicts involving Israel and that’s really a a key point for those of us who interpret the present through the scripture but then also we’ve got massive a pandemic of anxiety and concern and just a sense of division and unsettledness now I know we’ve seen that all through history and I know that people will quickly say yeah that’s just been a part of time and yet I I hope we’ll have the opportunity to disc discuss that there are certain things about this particular era in history that cause a person to perk up and look up and have hope but I I’m still optimistic I’m still highly optimistic right so I think Max you and I are coming from the same time by the way read your book it’s it’s really fabulous um the I think we come from exactly the same place uh which is I hope this isn’t the time I don’t want to go through what we have to go through um and I don’t want my kids to go through it but it actually kind of gives me some hope because there’s more certainty you know what I mean you there’s a clock there’s more certainty uh and in the end maybe we get to see Christ here not just up there absolutely in the book I unpack what I call Heaven’s timeline and I do not like the idea of living with the world view that says there is no timeline there’s nobody in charge no Sovereign hand directing the flow of history and while we cannot know every detail about the future and while scripture is very careful to instruct us that nobody knows the day that Christ will come we are given specific seasons and signs we pay attention to those Seasons we pay attention to those signs and I like you CL I find Assurance in the fact that we have a heavenly father who has promised to guide us through the timeline of history and also promised to establish an age in which everything will be set right everything will be set right I do think we have to be careful some people claim like they know even more than Christ does but we can know what we can know and find Hope in that yeah it it always puzzles me you know I know nobody’s going to know the date and the time however it maybe the the generation that goes through it might know the general area on when it’s coming because why would he give us so many signs to look for you know you may not know the date but you’re going to know the general movement are you not absolutely and it seems to me that the most profound prophecy in all of the Bible except for the one that Jesus would he himself be raised from the dead is that promise that God would reather the children of Israel to their Homeland and that happened in May 1948 and so I I find myself agreeing with those Scholars who say you know a page a prophetic history turned in May of 1948 because several of the prophets phes uh have to Israel has to be returned to its Homeland in order for those prophecies to be fulfilled and there are multiple prophecies in the Old Testament that say that God will reather his people to their Homeland now I can imagine for nearly 2,000 years Syria students of the Bible would read those prophecies and say well that could never happen but then it did happen it did happen and so now that that has happened that to me signals that we’re in a unique season a an era that should cause us to keep our eyes up our Bibles open our hearts open and our and our hope open it’s going to get crazy before the end but we’re getting close to the end so um what are the signs that you you say we should be looking for or the ones that you um say I I think this one this one and this one are happening right now yeah well the one we just mentioned is absolutely essential it’s often called the super sign and that is the regathering of the children of Israel uh to the land of Israel it’s the only nation that has ever been banished from its Homeland for nearly 2,000 years and then restored or regathered to its Homeland and this prophecy is found multiple times in the Bible um specifically I’m looking here uh in my notes from Ezekiel 650 years before Christ God said to the Israelites I will take you from the Nations and I will gather you from all the lands and I will bring you into your own land and then here’s a prophecy 740 years before Christ he will raise up a banner for the Nations and gather the Exiles of Israel he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth that’s through Isaiah now May 14th 1948 saw that page turn in the calendar of prophetic history and circum changed it’s still happening people are still the the Gathering of Israel is still happening at a greater Pace than any other time more than ever you’re absolutely right and in fact I read from the Jerusalem Post it’s been about several months a quote that said that more people are returning to Israel now than in the history of Israel and then you overlay that with prophecies from the Old Testament that in the enday Israel now a regathered nation would be surrounded and circled by its enemies and that’s a part of the news every day how Israel is increasingly in circled by enemies in fact I think it was the head of Hezbollah or Hamas that said our encirclement of Israel is almost complete in the last few weeks that was their exact language my goodness I didn’t see that but it’s enough to cause us to really pay attention right so the um Gathering happens um we know that wars and rumors of War and boy oh boy are we on the we’re in the rumor of War right now but could we not see a a war of biblical proportions biblical proportions it could happen in a heartbeat Glen I I I I don’t know what else we would need to convince us all we’re waiting on is somebody to press the wrong red button on the wrong side of the border and uh things are going to go sideways really really quickly and that’s why I think it’s so important for us to be looking at this not just from a geopolitical viewpoint but a spiritual Viewpoint as as the Bible gives us this timeline to help us understand how to interpret these difficult times in which we find ourselves so C you you start uh with the biblical covenants so why don’t we go over that because you do a great job of covering all the covenants and why they matter can you share the basic Rundown I can thank you again Glenn because most many people we we have interviews and they have no clue what a covenant is I I think those Cen are so essential primarily because God governs history through covenants he governs history through covenants and he made a covenant with Adam and Eve now Adam and Eve did not keep that Covenant but that does not mean God has broken it the fancy term for this is the edenic Covenant or the garden of Eden Covenant in which God promised that Adam and Eve and all their children would Reign and Rule with him in a perfect Paradise in perfected bodies in perfect relationships with each other and with him so that’s a promise God has made now the fact that Adam and Eve did not keep it does not mean God has abandoned it that’s why the Book of Genesis is really the most prophetic book in the Bible it gives us a picture of our end God knows the end from the beginning so if you want to know the end go to the beginning that’s promise Covenant number one Covenant number two is given to Abram later his name changed to Abraham and it’s a covenant that includes seed and soil he would Bless The Seed of Abraham and boy did he ever thanks to the Seed of Abraham we have the Bible we have Jesus we have the church we have faith and so he blessed the seed and he’ll continue to do so and then soil that’s what we’re talking about now he gave a a chunk of land it’s the only country to whom God has ever given land he gave soil to Israel and then there’s a promise God made to David that the descend wait before hold on just a second before we before we leave Abraham that one is unique is it not because that is unilateral that that is that’s God getting up and going you know this AB Abram guy I really like him I’m gonna do this so there’s no performance on that because usually you’ve got to hold up your side with God right Bo are you nailing it Glenn absolutely in fact the story of the of God confirming this and ratifying this Covenant by this peculiar practice that existed back in the day of slicing an animal in half and walking between that animal that was a way of saying I will keep this promise and if I don’t May what has happened to this animal happen to me now Abram did not walk through the animal only God did the flaming torch and the smoking pot it’s a beautiful story and so God has made a unilateral Covenant with Israel that he will keep this I may not get it I may not like it but it’s there and I believe in the end of the end days and what we call the tribulation that Israel will have a spefic specific role they’ll be their finest hour but God will keep that Covenant okay so now the David Covenant the davidic Covenant God made to David and that is a descendant of his would sit on David’s throne in Jerusalem and Reign Over Israel and the angel Gabriel referred to this Covenant when he told Mary that she would give birth to the Messiah so we know exactly that this Covenant will be fulfilled at some point through Jesus he will sit in Jerusalem I believe a physical Jerusalem and reain over the earth I believe that’ll be fulfilled and what we see on the timeline is the th reign of Christ and then there’s lastly a covenant with the children of Israel made two times one through Jeremiah once through Ezekiel that the children of Israel the Jews themselves would experience a spiritual Revival a Revival in which would be so great they wouldn’t even have to say to one another hey you need to know the Lord For All Shall know me God says and so that’s in the that’s in the bank as well all of these as you pointed out are unilateral covenants that God has made and he is guiding history according to these covenants so is the last one do you think fulfilled no sir I don’t think so but I think it will be uh forever as a as a Believer as a Christian I would read that Covenant and say oh God fulfilled that in me but then as a closer reading of those covenants God is speaking to the Jewish people and so there is a Jewish Revival I believe it will be a return to Christ in the last of the last days during the time of the tribulation okay so um people who don’t know tribulation don’t know about the Rapture ET ET Etc let’s get there but tell me what we are to look for as signs before we get there yeah before we get there and by the way many people don’t understand this language that we’re using today and that’s why I wrote this book I’m hoping it’s an end times 101 if somebody wants just an overview of these important seasons is this might be a go-to book for you the signs that will come now that the super sign has happened in the end times after the Super sign or after Israel is restored to its land there will be According To Jesus deception there will be economic turmoil there will be seismic activity there will be persecution of Christians more Christians right now are being martyred or persecuted for their faith in any time of history there will be con complete political conflict there will be famines pestilences pandemics ethnic conflicts false prophets fearful signs wars and rumors of wars now that’s a collection of the teachings of Jesus in What’s called the all ofet discourse or the sermon he gave right before his crucifixion Matthew 24 Mark 13 and Luke 21 when you’re compile all of those signs it sounds like the Daily News yeah I was going to say it’s also a combination of everything I read in the paper today yes sir but but haven’t we had except for the super sign haven’t we had those same signs before I mean I can’t imagine fighting the Nazis not thinking that guy’s the Antichrist absolutely and I think that is a very very valid point we have seen these signs since Jesus first gave the sermon that’s why to go back to the super sign makes us say okay so we have truly entered into a season of turbulence now Jesus did say that in the end times all these signs are the beginning of labor pains I’ve never had a labor pain but I’ve watched my wife I’ve watched them she labor pains come with increasing uh intensity and frequency and so according to this prophecy beginning in May 1948 we should see increasing frequency and intensity of these signs as we get closer and closer to the end I do not know the day I do not know the hour but I do think all of these signs are increasing in intensity and frequency we’ve never seen Israel surrounded and and threatened in such a fashion like this as a nation it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen and I know people will want to dismiss it but I’m thinking we got to be very careful and pay close attention to what’s happening yeah we’ve also um we haven’t seen this kind of evil uh you know when the darkness is so strong when the Shadows are so strong it’s only because the light is getting brighter uh and and I it’s very very dark what’s going on in humanity and it’s it’s it’s really old Pagan rituals from the Bible uh the sacrifice of our children I mean it’s bad it’s bad and the questions we wrestling with Glenn I mean our children are wrestling with gender issues that I never never even crossed my mind the question of what bathroom what pronoun to use these are things that were Unthinkable just a couple of decades ago and it’s almost like the speed of immorality uh is increasing and the consequence of this is devastating did you know that 22% of teenagers in uh 2021 literally considered orchestrating their own departures uh committing suicide 22% that’s if you see 10 teenagers that means two out of 10 gave serious thought to just you know Cashing Out These are tragic times in which we live and I cannot help to think that a large reason is that people don’t know what’s about to happen they feel like all of life is what’s on a YouTube or what’s on their social media page as opposed to the great and exciting future that God has in store for everybody who would call out to him you know um I think Satan has been trying to win for a very long time and every time he thinks he’s going to win he’s he’s thwarted but it always starts with the killing of the of the Jews um you know we look at the things and we think this is so unique with this transgender stuff it was happening in ancient times but it also uh is the reason why people in Germany started burning books and this is a real important Point especially for Christians and I would love your comment on it back in 1925 the first transgender surgery happened in the viar Republic in Berlin and they started a sexology University and it was all about transgenderism it was about uh gay lesbian all of this stuff and uh you know the vimar Republic was very hedonistic and it started to embrace some of this stuff and it was being taught in the schools the Christians were so concerned and didn’t know what to do so they reached out to some of the Nazis when as they were just starting to form they knew they would get the books burned and so they encouraged them to go into the university to burn to stop this from being taught to their children what they didn’t know is they gave them an opening and I’m I’m so concerned about we don’t know history we don’t know what time we’re living in and I’m I’m very concerned that uh Christians may not follow Christ in uh these times they will want to swing back they will want to fight and I’m not sure the Lord if these are indeed the times we only elongate because it’s innocent blood that has to be shed correct yes sir does that make sense to you Jesus yeah no that makes perfect sense and I think the way you’re describing it is absolutely accurate the trans gender question is one that goes right at the uh core of whether we trust a good God in the way that he made us did God know what he was doing when he gave us the gender that he gave us and if I at my heart at my core say well no he didn’t then everything’s up for grbs but if I say you know I believe in a good God and the narrative the worldview I have of Life says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth and he made them male and female then I’m going to trust him I’m going to trust him and I’m going to acknowledge that what he did was right so we’re getting right at the core of whether we uh believe that there is a good god a sovereign God or not and the consequence is the narrative that we have about ourselves you know the narrative is what we say to ourselves and the way we see ourselves and if we see ourselves as mistakes or accidents or uh just a you know surprising appearance of flatsome in the universe no purpose no plan well then we’re going to have a have have a narrative that’s so negative about ourselves that no wonder anxiety is off the charts but if I can have the narrative embrace the biblical worldview narrative that says there is a good god the world is in trouble but he’s still in control and he’s going to set every everything right and that he loves me he knows me he’s coming for me well that’s a that’s a game changer that turns the light off right in the way I live and the way I treat other people more with Max Leo in just a second uh first it’s amazing how easy it can be for your whole day to get derailed one minute you’re standing there living your best life and the next minute everything comes crashing down around you because you’re living with pain I know what that’s like I know how it can just go on and on year after year where you get to the point where you just feel like you can’t go on you can’t live this way you feel like you don’t want to go on please if you’re at that point please just try relief Factor may not work for you but 70% of the people that take it they go on to order more month after month I’m one of those it’s a daily drug-free supplement that could help you feel and live better every day so join the over 1 million people who have turned to relief factor and have started Ed feeling better in 3 weeks or less visit relief factor.com or call 8004 relief 800 the number four relief it’s relief factor.com can you um talk about the prophecy of Daniel um it talks about 490 years can you can you break that down and and explain why God stopped the clock at 483 well that is a great that is a great question and I’m going to cheat I’m going to make sure that I have my uh manuscript open here because the Book of Daniel is the backbone of Bible prophecy and understanding what God Said through the angel Gabriel to Daniel as recorded in Daniel chapter 9 is really important he gives three promises first of all that a messiah is on the way that’s in Daniel 9 and verse 25 uh he alludes to a period of time an appointed leader who will come at the end of a total of 483 years these 483 years begin with the construction of Jerusalem during the days of Nehemiah so you flip your calendar 483 years from the beginning of the construction of the temple and the days of Nehemiah and you landed the very day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey it’s one of the most compelling prophecies in all of the Bible but seven years remain because Gabriel told uh Daniel that he’s going to at the end of 483 year I’m sorry at the end of a total of 483 years that there will be a Antichrist or an evil person a tough time is coming according to Daniel chapter 9 and verse 27 this is an important prophecy because it alludes for the very first time to a period of seven years as well as an antichrist or an evil person the events that have happened described in verse 29 have have not happened uh we have yet to see a moment in which sacrifices to the temple are disallowed there is no Temple currently and we’ve yet to see a a a a seven years that will fulfill these final 490 years but I believe those days are coming and I believe those days that seven years will happen at the end of History it’s something that’s about to happen it’s called the tribulation was I confusing enough and trying to do that no I thought it was no I think it was I think it was great now on the tribulation map uh some people believe it some people don’t I personally don’t but I so want to because that means you’re not going through it I so want to believe so convince me well can I zoom zoom out for just a second yes and get to the tribulation kind of through the back door to me the big question is will there really be a Thousand-Year reign of Christ uh one of the most disputed and discussed passages in all of the Bible is in Revelation chap 20 and this is the one in which the uh Seer or the prophet John six times describes uh and alludes to a Thousand-Year period of peace and prosperity now some people read that and say oh that’s just uh metaphorical uh that’s that’s symbolic of a time that we’re in right now others of have come to believe no that’s a literal time in which God will actually fulfill that Covenant that he set up in the Garden of Eden a perfect Paradise Perfect People in perfect relationship now I’ve come to believe that that is a literal promise I believe number one because of the promises number two because Satan said I’m sorry John says that Satan will be overthrown he’s not overthrown right now I believe in the word for word interpretation there’s a thousand years referred to six times I believe those six times curiously the early church fathers for the first 300 years that the church believed in a literal Millennium and then lastly there are two resurrections referred to in Revelation chapter 20 veres 1-6 uh one of those who di during the tribulation and one of the evil people who at the end of the Thousand Years will be resurrected to be judged so if you put a real Thousand-Year reign on your timeline then you back away from that and something happens that sets up that Thousand-Year Reign and that’s the prior chapters in The Book of Revelation chapters 4-9 and that is describing what I think is The Darkest Day in all of human history it’s a time in which the holy spirit will lift the church having raptured the church off the presence of the Earth and the Earth will feel the the full effect of judgment and uh Society will fall into a time of chaos moral chaos economic chaos um the the the culture the uh climate everything will just spin out of control and the reason for that chaos is because of the Rapture the church has been raptured Believers are gone and what happens to a world when Millions maybe billions of tax pearing paying God-fearing uh hardworking people suddenly disappear well the consequence will be that chaos and that will open the door for some ruler what the Bible calls or who the Bible calls the Antichrist to step up onto the world stage to negotiate that seven-year peace treaty referred to in the Book of Daniel Midway through he will break the treaty he’ll demand to be worshiped and then things will spiral even further further out of control so this is a time in which a person does not want to be on planet Earth the point out in the book you don’t have to be you don’t have to be when a person is a person of faith God will rescue them he will come for them and he will Rapture them from the earth before that time of tribulation happens so what should we how should we prepare I I have some friends that believe deeply in the in the rapture and uh I feel I I I I worry about it a little bit um because they’re only preparing spiritually and this may not be the time or the Rapture may not be true one of the two Could Happen uh and they’re just now just like I’m just I’m just working on my relationship with the Lord that’s good but it may not be this time uh so how does somebody prepare not just spiritually but do you prepare are you prepared for this not being the time Max I think that is a key and a core question number one I think nobody has it all figured out I have my best thinking hat on I’ve done my hardest work I’ve studied I’ve come to this conclusion but I could be missing it I could because I’ve got a limited three lb brain and it has not the capacity that I need to understand all the questions so yes I am prepared if need be to go through the tribulation uh with I mean know not even the I’m a bit of I’m a bit of a prepper I’ve even got some food stored I’ve got some gold coins stored if it happens I’m very confident God is going to get me through it I’m very optimistic that be raptured before it happens now right those of us who who regardless of your interpretation of the timeline the sequence of events those of us who believe in Christ we need to be living with hope and compassion hope because we know that the greatest days lie ahead in these brief and momentary struggles are not worth comparing with the glory that far outweighs them all and then compassion compassion on the world no wonder the world stinks no wonder people we in such turmoil and they don’t know what we know they need to have hope we need to be as generous as we can as benevolent as we can uh give as much life and love and hope and encouragement as we can this is the time for us to be the best Christ followers and hopegivers that we can possibly be I tell you I I have a hard time um with um compassion at times I always come back to it um but I know a lot of people who are like you’re crazy you can’t have compassion they’re my brothers and sisters and and I know if God is my father and he’s your father as well and everybody’s father I can’t imagine my kids coming home and I say where’s your sister and your other brother ah they were just too far gone Dad we just left them I would be a little upset I want all of my children and if they choose not to in the end but we have to show compassion all the way up to the end do we not we have to and Christ within us will do so that’s our assignment it’s not my assignment to pick fights or to argue uh or to get in Endless uh wrestling matches with people about things that are going to pass so quickly what matters so much is that I love people just the way God loves people and that is he loves them to the very very end and I’m praying that we can do better at that so the tribulation is because a lot of people would say if you don’t really know the tribulation some people would say well we’re already in it buddy um because these are bad times what are the signs that the tribulation is beginning because it’s a very specific clock is it not once we hit the tribulations it’s seven years period at some point again my best understanding is at some point after the Rapture and the Rapture could occur at any moment it could occur at any moment we’re not waiting on any other events for that uh at that moment then when the church is lifted from the earth then I believe Satan who does not know when the Rapture will take place will’ll see that as his cue with the sheep gone he will step in to uh attack what remains of the people on the planet and he will embody the Antichrist just like he embodied Judas just prior to the crucifixion he entered Judas and so Satan will enter the body of the Antichrist every generation has had a candidate uh to be the Antichrist since Satan does not know when the Rapture will take place he’s just waiting on God timetable and then at some point and I do not know how long after the Rapture the tribulation will begin uh but it seems to me it won’t be long I mean the world will be in freefall there will be such Chaos on the planet as a result of the sudden disappearance The Vanishing of so many people that uh it will be a perfect opportunity for the Antichrist to step up onto the world stage but you know Glenn even during that time time of tribulation heing dur that this darkest time on Earth The Book of Revelation has the most interesting teaching and that is 144,000 Jews who are sealed by Christ they are sealed by Christ this I find so fascinating so there will be during the time of tribulation 12,000 Jews from each of the 12 tribes of Israel and they will declare their allegiance to Christ and this will be yet further fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham that he would bless both the seed and the soil and these 144,000 Jews according to Revelation 7 will evangelize they will go out and the result will be the greatest Revival ever there will be people from every tongue every tribe every nation and they will at Great personal risk because of the threat of the Antichrist they will become followers of Christ many will be martyred for their faith but many Will Will Survive so even during those dark dark times there will be times of great hope and renewal and I believe that’s the promise of that prophecy that God made through Ezekiel and Jeremiah that in the end of the end days the you you there will be a spiritual Revival among the Jews U Max I uh I want to make it really clear I’m not saying this is the mark of the beast but what I’m about to say is uh at least a candidate uh I believe the technology that the Beast will use um and that is uh cryptocurrency of some sort where you embed the chip either in your hand or on your forehead which is already happening now in some areas when do you know it’s the mark of the beast or do you just never put put something in your hand that you can purchase items with I believe that you’re exactly right Glenn I believe that excuse me that the uh cryptocurrency or some type of embedded ship would be something if a person happened to be around during the tribulation and by the way it could very well be that if those of us who believe in the Rapture are correct there are people who will someday pull this message and other messages from the past to listen to them again and they’ll say now what were they talking about then because I think it’s happening and my Urgent Message to you then if you’re listening to this message someday in the future is put your trust in Christ and whatever the Antichrist or whatever this evil world leader tells you to do do just the opposite even at risk of life and limb and one of those things might be to put some type of device under your skin because that is what they are telling you is necessary in order for you to buy and sell another major concern I don’t quite understand how AI can be anything short of a powerful tool used during the uh tribulation I mean even my book that we’re talking about today somebody took I just got an email this morning that somebody has created an AI counterfeit version of the book and uh it’s I believe illegal I don’t believe it’s appropriate I believe it’s certainly unethical but that’s the kind of stuff that AI can do and this is all happening so fast I can hardly keep up with it oh I know and it’s just begun between if AI were around you know IBM doesn’t get enough credit for the Holocaust that they deserve um they were the ones with a punch card system that knew exactly where the Jews lived and they could round them up in one night um with AI it is it’s Way Beyond uh Way Beyond that uh they can now really without us even knowing uh change what we think is our free will they can convince you to make decisions that you wouldn’t have made if it wasn’t for the manipulation of your world and your information earlier in the program you and I discussed that prophecy of Jesus that in the end times it will be like the beginning of birth pains again signs coming with increasing intensity and frequency who could have imagined a hundred years ago what a Bitcoin was or what AI was 10 years ago most of us were not even conversent on these topics and some of us still feel like we’re catching up but it’s all moving so quickly now I need to be very very careful though Glenn it’s never my desire to stir fear in fact I believe the Lord tells us what’s about to happen not so we’ll be scared but just so we’ll be prepared be prepared Jesus said during times when you see these signs lift up your eyes before for your Redemption is near your Redemption is near so when we see signs we don’t freak out we say oh he told us this would happen and so we make sure our heart is right with God we’ve given him our Eternal Destiny and we do our best to serve our fellow man and we trust that he will make everything happen in the right time in the right way yeah I I um I’ve had a really hard time Max with my job because you know I feel I my job is to warn and uh you know being the guy on the on the wall warning that can be construed as um you know instilling fear in people but it’s not it’s not my intent um because I know fear doesn’t come from the Lord ever uh and it is it’s hard to uh Warn and hard to alert uh when you’re looking for the if you will the the road signs the exits signs as we pass them each on the highway um you know just saying okay well you’ve got one more exit in front of you and then no gas for 48 miles or whatever it is uh and it’s uh it’s difficult but I get such great piece out of the signs look for the signs if these things are happening I am close great great it shows it it’s to me I always found when I was a kid book of Revelation really frightening but I don’t now I find it um giving me hope that he knew all this this is all part of the plan we are lucky enough to serve at this time I mean how lucky are we people have been waiting for thousands of years we’re serving at this time all we have to do is not fear do what he tells us to do and I mean we’re at the Finish Line we’re at the Finish Line I could not say Amen loudly enough to Echo what you just said I believe it just makes all kinds of difference in the lives of people in the book I tell Kind of a Funny Story I served as a missionary back in my college days in Brazil and I’d never ridden on a subway before and one of the missionaries gave me an assignment to deliver something to the other side of the city of s Paulo and he gave me a ticket to get on a subway and Glenn when I got on the subway I didn’t know how to read the signs I I I didn’t know what to do I I knew just enough to pay the token to get on the train and then off we went I grew up in a small west Texas town we had no Subways and i’ I I panicked but then I didn’t speak the language either and gratefully there was a English-speaking Brazilian who saw the anxiety on my face and he pointed to that list of that linear line that’s at the top of the subway car that points out all the stations you know what I’m talking about right yeah yeah yeah and he said okay and he’s speaking to me in English he says now here’s where you are and here’s what’s about to happen here’s where we’ll stop and he pointed out one stop after the other and he said when we reach this one get off and all of a sudden I could relax right and I think that’s what end times is all about we’re we’re doing our best to keep our eye on the uh timeline or the linear line that our heavenly father has provided none of us have it all figured out but this makes sense I think I’m going to believe that what we all know though is that God is in control and it’s up to us to be faithful between now and then and he’ll get us off at the right time who do you think the two witnesses are that are described in in Revelation yeah that’s a that’s a good one I think Enoch could be one of them I think Elijah could be one of them and those would be part of this Evangelistic Crusade tell people what they do why they’re important well they’re important because as they give witness to God in the city of Jerusalem during the time of the tribulation they are slain but then they come back to life and they give testimony to the power of God even in the middle of these these dark dark days and so they are a part of the ongoing Declaration of the Gospel that God gives in the time of the tribulation to those who will listen what do you say Max to people who are Jewish that say so I’m going to be left behind mind and I have to convert to Christianity otherwise what what do you say well I would say you don’t have to you don’t have to God is ever the gentleman uh and he he knocks on the door of our hearts he doesn’t pound uh at the door of our hearts he invites us and I would also say that God bless you because you are a part of a chosen lineage of people that has played such an instrument role you’ve been unfairly persecuted and judged and indeed massacred in ways that most of us cannot imagine and I would also remind you that the most famous Jew in the history of the world is Jesus Christ and that when he died on the cross he died for all of our sins every single person in all of history and he authenticated his act of Sacrifice by stepping out of the Tomb and Pro proving that he indeed is the Son of God he’s the Messiah he’s the Messiah I believe that with all of my heart and I would H hope and I would pray that you’d say yes to him just say yes to him but if you don’t and you find yourself here during that time of dark and terrible struggle then you just stay faithful he who endures to the end Jesus said will be saved turn your heart toward him now and you won’t pass through that time of tribulation ation but if you choose not to and find yourself in the time of tribulation it’s not too late never too late turn your heart toward him let him pay the price for every sin that you’ve ever committed and know that your name will be written in the book of life you know Glenn there’s one other final event that we’ve not mentioned yet I’ll do so in 30 seconds and that is great on Judgment at the end of the Millennium which is that time in which God will set everything right there will be a time of Reckoning a time of Reckoning and the Bible calls this the great white Throne judgment this is not a time in which Believers will stand before God to be judged uh we are judged not guilty because we put our faith in Christ but everyone who has rejected God throughout their lives will stand before God because the rule is clear if you spend your life telling Jesus to leave you alone in the end he will do just that and on that day two books will be open or a book and a set of books will be opened the book is The Book of Life and the Book of Life is where the name is written of every person who is called out to Christ for salvation and the books the books are the Deeds The Works the actions of every person so when God opens the book if a person’s name is not found written in the book of life then the books are open and all of their deeds will be declared and no one wants to stand before a holy God expecting to be saved according to their deeds I don’t I don’t because my Deeds are enough to convict me and that’s why this message is so urgent when you say yes to Christ he writes your name in that book of life because the great wat Throne judgment is that moment in which those who have dismissed Christ will be dismissed forever from the presence ofr the final moments uh with Max LC and just a minute first let me tell you about uh the Burna launcher the Burna launcher is I think one of the best things for selfdefense um you know self-defense can be handled with a gun but and I believe in those I carry a gun um but there are times to burn a launcher is fine uh because you don’t want to have to make that decision do I kill them or do I hit them with tear gas you can you can stop a um uh an attack you can stop somebody from doing something that they’re not supposed to be doing with a bur a launcher at 60 ft now deadly force is needed sometimes but not always you use deadly force you better be right incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes with a burn a launcher police departments are starting to use it you can check it on a plane it’s legal in all states as long as you’re over 18 you don’t need anything and and you are protected made in Fort Wayne Indiana it’s Burna B yr na.com Glenn bna.com Glenn get an 10% discount now bna.com Glenn let me talk about another section in your in your book um why our world is upside down uh I I I wonder um as I watch What’s happen happening in the world for instance the Olympics uh that was a a nightmare opening and closing ceremony and uh I think there are those who knew exactly what they were doing and I feel like we are um we are experiencing people doing ancient rituals even if they don’t know they’re doing ancient R rituals you know the the murder of their child uh sacrifice um uh it is it’s it’s it seems to be all around and we’ve gone from a a society that chased God out of our schools out of you know our you know our town square chased him out of our life to a society that is actually um in a way bringing him back to the Town Square so we can Mock and ridicule him and God will not be mocked I is there a way to turn this around let me ask you this way I could find 50 good men in America uh is there a way to turn this judgment that we deserve around we can’t God can God can um I’m holding out hope that there’ll be a return that there’ll be a Revival I agree with you there is such a mockery of God in the Public Square um the people uh claim it as a right and inherit inalienable right to destroy pre-born and really build the whole platform upon that one idea it’s it’s it’s deeply deeply concerning I’m holding out hope that there will still be a great Revival that will call people back to a sense of reverence for God and respect for human life I do not have a secret sauce to make that happen do GL if I did I would have produced it a long time ago what does matter is that people of Faith do their very best to keep praying keep seeking let’s avoid cynicism let’s don’t get bitter let’s don’t give up let’s trust that The God Who has brought about reviv in the past remember we serve a God who rescued the the the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage we serve a God who who destroyed the the worshippers of baale during the times of Elijah we serve a God who became a human being and walked on the earth we serve a God who activated a movement on the day of pen OST we serve a great and powerful God of intervention and action let’s all join our hearts keep our hopes high and trust that he can do it again and that he will do it again I never thought this before until recently but we have taken all of the blessings of our country we’ve turned them upside down we become greedy and we’ve really sold sold our souls for things and stuff is there do you think there’s a chance Max that we might be the the great horor of the earth well we’re certainly having a hard time behaving aren’t we in accordance with the blessings that we have been given I mean there there are Generations upon Generations who would love to have the blessings that we have as a people access to education Medical Care opportunity to study scripture without fear of reproach or martyrdom there are many cultures all around the world right now who would cherish what I think many of us just take for Grant granted and this is a time however in which we can become again people of great gratitude and people of deep faith and keep looking up to our Heavenly Father I suppose the best thing we can do is repent just repent say Lord we’re sorry you’ve called your listeners youve called Society to a time of repentance more than once and uh I think that’s a posture that we have to take and that is the promise of scripture If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and repent of their sins then I will come back and I will heal their land um in that Thousand-Year reign of Christ Satan is bound uh he has no influence for a thousand years what are we going to be doing and what will that be like love talking about the Millennium and again what we’re discussing when we say the Millennium is a a promise in Revelation 20 of a th years in which Satan will be bound and Christ will be crowned Satan will be dismissed he will have no influence on the earth and Christ will be crowned and we as his children will reign and Rule with him for those thousand years we were made to Reign and Rule with Christ people often forget that in the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve were set over creation to tend and to care for it they were not second or below creation they were placed over creation we see Adam exercising his rightful role as a co- Regent when he named the animals but Adam and Eve did not continue in their part of the Covenant but God never abandoned his and for that reason and I think we can be sure that there will be a thousand years of peace and prosperity in which you and I will have a role which were reigning and ruling with Christ during that time one of the great Parables of Christ concludes with Jesus saying to a good land owner or to a good Steward well done good and faithful servant you’ve been Faithful over a few things I will now make you ruler over many I’m not sure exactly what you’re going to rule over Glenn what I’m going to rule over but I’m honored at the thought that I will have a part in this Thousand-Year period in which God will have his garden just as he promised way back as recorded in the earliest chapters of the Bible I don’t know about ruling over but I want to be the taste tester for the bakeries in that Thousand Years um what is when the um thief on the cross said surely you are innocent will you uh will you will you help me and Jesus said uh today you will be with me in Paradise what’s the difference if there is between paradise and heaven yes there is a difference um and on the timeline As We Lay It Out uh we are we’ve already pointed out that the next major event is the rapture but what happens if a person dies before the Rapture what if today I take my final breath what will happen to me well according to the passage you just referred to when Jesus said to the thief on the cross today you’ll be with me in Paradise we go immediately into Paradise now John Wesley famously said that paradise is almost that he said Paradise is the front porch of Heaven in other words it’s almost heaven but not quite Paradise is a place where we enjoy conscious fellowship with the father conscious fellowship with one another and yet we’re still separated from our physical bodies at the Rapture that’s when our physical body will be reunited with our Spirits our bodies will be glorified they will be healed once and forever and this by the way includes the healing of all those babies who never exited the Wom it includes the healing of all those who did not have the mental capacity to make a decision for or against Christ it includes the healing of friends of yours and mine who spent all of their life in a wheelchair or in unable to operate in a in a 100% healthy body that healing is going to happen but that healing will happen at the Rapture in the meantime we go to paradise and our spirit is in the presence of Christ and there we enjoy fellowship with God we enjoy fellowship with one another and to some degree we comprise what the Bible calls that great cloud of witnesses in other words there’s a great cloud of witnesses rooting us on cheering us on I do not believe that we pray to them but I do believe in some way that they can see us and they’re encouraging us and I find such great hope in this uh in The Green Room at the church where I pr where I preach we have a painting and it’s a painting of a Preacher just a good oldfashioned preacher standing behind a Pulpit holding an Open Bible wearing a coat and tie and he’s surrounded by preachers who have gone before Elijah is there Moses is there Paul is there Peter is there and it’s called the Great cloud of witnesses and whenever I’m about to preach I always look at that painting and I can just almost hear him saying give them Heaven Max go get them you know and I can’t comfort in knowing that our loved ones who have preceded Us in death are in that great cloud of witnesses their their emotions are healed their souls are healed their hearts are happy and they’re just waiting until that moment in which the new Heaven and the new Earth will happen and we will all enter that New Jerusalem in our perfected bodies to reign with Christ forever let me ask you a a kind of an unrel ated question kind of um you and I uh have known one particular Pastor for a very long time and uh I I think you were probably as surprised as I was uh when we we found out that some things were happening and now you’re the interim pastor there how do you deal with um good people doing really bad things and then having to I mean what are you supposed to do W with that information I guess yeah and uh I I find instruction as I open the Bible and read the stories of King David who did amazing work yeah LED Israel to a time of amazing peace and Pros Prosperity wrote many of the Psalms that we cherish and yet one of those psalms is Psalm 51 in which he’s begging the Lord For A Renewed spirit because he’s confessed to that horrible sin with bath Sheba by the way a sin he kept covered up for well over a year until he was finally confronted stories like David stories like Peter who denied Christ stories like Paul who persecuted the church I mean scripture is um how shall we say littered with the testimonies of men and women who could have done better should have known better but they didn’t and yet God used them anyway yeah I’m disappointed when that happens it’s heartbreak yeah and it’s really tough on the church but it’s not new it’s not new it’s um I feel kind of uh uh you know it bothered me early on uh you know in 2015 when people would look to Trump and say uh you know he’s God’s anointed or whatever um I don’t look at it that way I look at it as you know Martin Luther King was not the first guy they asked to lead that movement um he was just the first to say yes knowing what could happen to him and I think that’s the same kind of thing with Trump there’s been a lot of people who have stood up and said they would take it and I think the Lord could have used a man that is much closer to him but maybe they didn’t stand up and he did when you go ahead no go ahead I was just going to say in my devotional reading this morning I was in the book of second Corinthians and the Apostle Paul wrote we have this treasure in Earth and vessels and I couldn’t get beyond that we have a treasure what is that treasure well the treasure is what we’re talking about that this life is passing quickly but the greatest life awaits us all that’s a treasure it’s the gospel but we have it in Earth and vessels here I am talking to you with Co I’ve got a a raw throat I’ve got a body that’s getting old I have an earn vessel and so God’s message through that scripture to me is even though your earn vessel is just like a clay pot I can still get the message out and so the power lies not so much in the earth and vessel but in the message itself and I’m just going to trust that he’s going to keep getting that message out through us to have Earth and vessels when you saw the assassination attempt of Donald Trump and you saw how close that bullet came and he turned his head stunning it gave a lot of people a lot of hope that maybe God’s not done with us does do miracles do Miracles like that happen Max I I think everything is Under The Sovereign hand of God and everything is intended to get our attention now we need to be very careful and remember that we exist to make a big deal out of God God does not exist to make a big deal out of us and that his ultimate goal is to establish a kingdom with which he’s going to Reign and Rule forever forever with those who say yes to him now he may use the United States to accomplish that goal I believe he has I believe thanks to the United States people like me had the opportunity to hear the greatest news in the history of the world but I do believe that the United States is simply a tool in his hand that he doesn’t exist to make a big deal out of our country he exists to make a big deal out of this Promise This Promise that he wants every man and woman every child to say yes to him and that these brief and momentary days are passing quickly and I know our Fascination right now is is on the election well it should be we should be prayerful and careful but we need to be even more concerned about serving God and and and and showing our ultimate allegiance to him I just love you so much Max it’s always a pleasure to talk to you well I know I stuck my foot in my mouth a few times so forgive me in advance or in retrospect for what I did yeah I love you too not at all God be together in person maybe next time yeah yeah we will thank you so much thank you my friend

Truly Right View: Advocating for Free Speech in the Age of Political Censorship

Introduction: What is Free Speech Today?

In a world where political discourse is dominated by big tech, cable news, and social media influencers, free speech is constantly under threat. From censorship of conservative viewpoints to the silencing of dissent on controversial issues, we are witnessing an alarming trend of restrictions on the most fundamental rights of any citizen in our Constitutional Republic: the right to speak freely.

But what does free speech truly mean in today’s context? Are we protecting it, or are we allowing authoritarian ideologies like socialism, communism, fascism, and dictatorships to erode it?

The Constitutional Perspective: Why Free Speech is Non-Negotiable

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is crystal clear: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” The Founding Fathers understood the importance of free speech in preserving a free society. Without it, the ability to challenge government, expose corruption, and advocate for truth would be crushed.

Yet today, under the guise of protecting people from “misinformation” and “hate speech,” powerful institutions are curbing our ability to express ideas that do not conform to their narratives.

Do we not see this as a slippery slope toward authoritarianism?

Shouldn’t we, as citizens, be the ones who decide what we can or cannot hear, not a centralized body or corporation?

Social Media and Cable News: Platforms or Gatekeepers?

Social media was once hailed as the bastion of free speech. It allowed ordinary individuals to share their thoughts, advocate for causes, and hold the powerful accountable. However, over the years, major platforms like Twitter (now X), Facebook, and YouTube have become gatekeepers rather than facilitators of free expression.

Algorithms favor certain ideologies, while alternative viewpoints—especially those with a more conservative or constitutional slant—are shadow-banned, demonetized, or outright censored.

Does this not resemble the tactics of monarchies, communistic or fascist regimes that control what their citizens can see and hear?

Shouldn’t a true democracy allow the free flow of ideas, even if those ideas challenge the status quo?

Social Media Influencers: Fighters for Freedom or Puppets of Censorship?

Many social media influencers, especially those aligned with constitutional values, have become modern-day warriors for free speech. Yet, they face intense backlash, censorship, and de-platforming for voicing opinions that challenge globalist or left-leaning narratives.

How many times have we seen influential voices banned simply for questioning government policies, election results, or health mandates?

Isn’t it concerning that only a select group of elites can decide what is “acceptable” discourse?

While some influencers fall in line with these restrictive policies, others have emerged as champions for free speech, using their platforms to resist censorship and uphold constitutional rights. The question is: Will we support these voices, or will we allow them to be drowned out by corporate and governmental censorship?

The Dangers of Socialism, Communism, and Fascism: A Threat to Free Speech

At the heart of socialism, communism, and fascism lies a common tactic—control over speech. These ideologies have historically sought to suppress dissent, limit expression, and create a monolithic narrative that favors those in power.

Look no further than authoritarian regimes past and present, where dissenters are imprisoned, media is state-controlled, and free speech is criminalized. Can we really ignore the striking similarities between these oppressive ideologies and the current state of political discourse in America?

Is the suppression of speech today not a precursor to more draconian measures tomorrow?

Should we not fight to preserve the right to freely express political, social, and economic ideas?

The Truly Right View: Defending Freedom in the Digital Age
