Open Forum/Q&A time

Open Forum video and transcript from Feb 2, 2024

All right, welcome back, everybody,

End Time Church.

Friday Q&A open forum time is here.

Friend Christopher Mantei is me,

and I'm available for

whatever you want to discuss, talk about,

ask about, challenge about,

whatever's on your mind or

heart about the world, current events,

The scriptures, Jesus, God, church,

crazy stuff, things, again,

that we may have taught at any time,

church over a certain Monday or whatever,

right?

Time is totally yours.

This time is for you.

Get it out.

Whatever it is,

just go ahead and go to town.

If you're watching on YouTube,

I welcome you.

I say hello.

Hello, Paula.

Welcome, sister.

Always fun to have Paula around.

We want to hear from you if

you're on the Twitter X platform.

please say hello and

contribute there as well.

We are also on Instagram.

I'm not sure if Instagram is

going to work.

It's been having issues apparently,

but whatever.

Maybe you can see it and try to ask.

But the best place for sure

is the End Time Church app itself,

endtime.app.

You see that below crawling

on your screen?

Yeah.

Get it, please.

Just get it and use it.

Don't bother with YouTube

anymore if you don't have to.

Just use the End Time Church app.

It's free.

It's our stuff.

It's no one else's stuff.

You know, Facebook, Meta, Google, whatever,

Elon Musk.

Nobody owns it.

We do.

The church does.

And so it's for the church by the church,

right?

That's the End Time Church app,

endtime.app.

Any device you have, phone, tablet,

even if you just have a computer,

there's still a version of

it that will work.

on your computer itself in a web browser.

So you got all those options,

use all the things that it's good for,

get it and use it.

And you can watch every live

stream that we do right in

the app and ask questions

and participate right there on the video.

It's awesome.

Maybe you're watching on the

In Time Church live page.

Thank you for that.

Anyways, please share this video.

Help us out.

We are brought to you by

your times and offerings

and by no other means.

We're going on faith, 100%.

For 2018, 100% faith.

Just ask God what you should

give and then give it in

time.church.give.

That's not a joke.

It's not begging.

It's a fact.

So support this church if we

support your spiritual growth.

Okay, let's go to whoever's saying stuff.

Hi, Bond Servant.

Bless you, sister.

No internet using phone data.

Hope it lasts.

Well, it's working so far.

Why no internet?

Did a snowstorm knock you

out or something?

Hey, Kim.

God bless you.

Thank you.

Yeah, ask away, guys, whatever you want.

We've got...

55 minutes left today.

OK,

no more than I got to be off top of the

hour.

But let's let's let's go for it.

Hey, anchor or nothing to you, brother.

Come Lord, that's what we say.

Yes, yes, indeed.

Faithful Friday.

Faithful Friday.

All right, Paula.

Oops.

I just want to say hi, G. What's up, G?

Raj, however you want to be called.

I'm sorry.

Hello.

Welcome, my friend.

Okay, so again, please, guys,

hit the share button

wherever you're watching this.

It would be a huge help.

The algorithms will get cooking,

and other people will see it,

and hopefully it'll be helpful.

Right?

Okay.

Paul, Falafel Friday.

I'll take that, Bonservant.

I'm sorry, Paul.

Do you know where in the

world the Antichrist is

going to emerge from?

Yes, we do.

Yes, we do.

And that's not a personal

knowledge or anything like that.

It's in the Bible for sure.

We know from Isaiah, from Micah,

from Daniel, so several prophets.

just in the Old Testament.

And you have some clues in

the revelation of Jesus

Christ at the end of the book as well.

But certainly those prophets

tell us he is called Ezekiel.

So four prophets, Ezekiel, Micah, Isaiah,

Daniel.

They all definitely tell us

the same geography.

Isaiah and Micah call him the Assyrian.

Daniel calls him the last

king of the north.

And Ezekiel calls him Gog of

the land of Magog.

And even in Ezekiel, where it says that,

God even talks to the Antichrist,

if you will, and says,

you're the one who I have

been warning Israel about

through all my prophets.

So he's saying he has different names.

And this one called Gog of

the land of Magog is that one.

And again, so he has different names,

the king of the north,

the Assyrian and so forth.

So then it becomes pretty easy.

It becomes pretty easy then

because we know where the

Assyrian empire is.

Or when it existed,

what land it was in on a map.

And we know

where Magog would be.

We know where the north country,

Zechariah would even call

it the north country,

so the one from the north

country or the king of the north,

where that is.

And so that's enough evidence, honestly.

That's it.

At the mouth of two or three witnesses,

the thing shall be established.

Well,

there you've got four witnesses in that.

You're not even out of the Old Testament.

And then in Revelation, you have, again,

a confirmation of several

places in Daniel, by the way,

not just the king of the north.

It's when we have a division like Daniel 8,

7 and 8, and then 11,

where you have this

division into four quarters,

quadrants of this final kingdom.

It's actually divided up into four,

and that's how we get the north quadrant,

the north quarter of the Middle East.

And that's how we know where

this final little horn comes from.

He's the one from the north.

Same difference.

It's all the same.

It's all the same area.

It's modern-day Turkey and

parts of northern Iraq, northern Syria.

That's what we call the Assyrian lands.

So if you lay the Assyrian Empire, Magog,

the land of the north,

this northern quadrant, all that,

and then

we lay on what revelation

tells us about where these

four beasts are from which

is iraq syria turkey um

that's it so that is it

that's your answer some

some folks say like kim

here just flat out turkey

it that's the the majority probability

for sure.

It's a big majority probability,

but it could be Syria or northern Iraq.

I mean,

just being non- dogmatic about what

Assyria means,

like the capital of Assyria was in Iraq,

for example.

So it could be there.

It could be northern Syria.

My friend Mark Davidson, I believe,

thinks it's Assyrian

you know, from the,

what we call Syria today, Northern Syria,

it could be,

but Turkey is probably the answer,

but one of those, just look at your map,

look at, especially the, you know, the,

the nation of what we call

Turkey now and Northern Syria,

Northern Iraq, you got lots of action,

you know, happening there all the time,

a lot of conflict, conflict.

And that's how we get, that's how we know.

Okay.

Yeah.

And just one adjunct to that

understanding is,

just as we're told where he

will emerge from, by the same token,

we know we have no idea who

it is before that.

And Daniel is very clear about that.

that when this,

he's called a little horn for a reason.

He's not called a great horn.

He's not called an obvious horn.

He's not called a powerful horn.

He's called a little one

because he comes out after

all these machinations,

after all these events

produce the environment

that he comes into,

which has not happened yet.

So I just want to, number one,

caution that there is no,

it's not imminent that

It's not any day now.

Antichrist just can't pop up

tomorrow because we're not at that stage.

But we do know where he's from.

And he will not be a leader

that you know today.

So just by nature and what Daniel says,

he comes out of obscurity.

He takes control of that kingdom,

that final beast kingdom,

in a nontraditional way.

He's not the next king in line.

He's not a famous politician.

He's not the UN guy.

He's not a president of the United States.

He's not somebody who you would know.

So it's a giant waste of time.

I'm not saying you're doing this, Paula,

because you haven't,

but a lot of us Christians

have who are into this

study of prophetic things

that automatically we're

throwing out famous names

in there he's the

antichrist he's the

antichrist he's the

antichrist first of all if

he's not from the assyrian

lands that we just

mentioned it's wrong we

know it's wrong um but even

if you get the land right

and you say somebody like

erdogan you're wrong again

because he's not that guy

He has no power before he

emerges at the end,

before he takes control of

this ten-horn kingdom.

He has no power before then.

So he's not a previous president, leader,

or anything else.

Pond servant says, no storm,

just an outage.

Waiting on plumber.

Ouch.

Yeah,

your basement's in bad shape and all

that.

Yikes.

Yeah, I'll take the falafel, though.

I'll take the falafel.

That sounds really good, actually.

Kimberly says,

did you know Assad is a high

ranking member of the Knights of Malta?

Talk about religious conflict.

I did not.

I never heard that.

I've never heard that at all.

The current Assad you're talking,

not his dad, not that it matters,

but remember his father was

also Assad and he was a dictator too.

Funny how that works.

You pass down your

dictatorship to your kid.

Nothing new under the sun,

but that's a Catholic

organization if I remember right.

Isn't it?

So obviously you can't be a

Catholic and a Muslim.

So yeah, there's conflict for sure there.

But yeah, but Bashar al-Assad or Hafez,

his father, whatever,

they're interesting players

in this drama.

But again, certainly not the Antichrist,

definitely not his dad because he's dead.

All right, following up, Paul asks,

when about will the

Antichrist be made known?

Like,

when from today or when in the process?

Right?

There's a process that we can know.

We do know.

We can glean that.

We can learn it from the Bible.

We get the steps, the order of events.

That's like my big thing, right?

We're told that what it is.

So we can know that now that

we're in the order.

I think I just I kind of

just touched on it a second ago.

But how far from now?

I don't know.

It depends.

Again, it just depends on.

where we're at, right?

So where we're at right this second is,

in my view, we're past the first hurdle,

the first phase, if you will,

of the beast coming together,

which is phase number one.

Call it a signpost, call it a seal,

call it a horseman.

But that first stage is the

rise of the beast in what

we call Iraq and or Syria

because remember those

borders are not old that

you look at on your map today.

They're about 100 years old.

So in the ancient empires,

in the Bible's understanding of

what babylon where it was

represented by that's the

first stage and that has

that has come um we saw

many things happen they're

still happening in fact we

might even as we speak um

am I actually live I'm

sorry I'm just texting

someone yes I am um

Lost my thought.

All right.

Possibly even as we speak,

we might be seeing military action,

death and destruction from

the sky happen to the land

of Iraq again and Syria.

And notably, not Iran itself,

not Iran proper.

I don't know if that's a wise...

decision on our leaders part

or what doesn't sound wise.

But anyway, this is this is in retribution,

the never ending cycle of

retribution for killing

American soldiers in Jordan,

which for some reason that's taboo.

I mean, it should be right.

But it's like if you kill

Americans in Syria or Iraq,

Probably nothing's going to happen.

We've had that a lot.

Hundreds of injuries in

those countries from militias,

we call them, right?

Iranian proxy groups, we call them.

But if you hit someone in Jordan,

then you're going to get a

fistful of metal.

So that's what we're seeing

perhaps even right now as we speak.

But anyway, those lands are important,

and that's the point of me saying that.

Those lands, Iraq and Syria,

and then that's stage one.

Not Turkey,

even though they are acting very badly,

and not Iran,

even though they're acting very badly,

because it's not their turn.

Soon, I believe it's soon.

I've been saying that for quite a while.

Mark Davidson and others

have been saying it for

quite a while and thank God

for faithfulness that we

are going to stick with it

because that's what God says.

Not changing our mind

because somebody else

convinced us or something.

I'll just leave that out there.

Iran is next.

That's the next phase.

The Persian Iranian phase of

the beast is part two.

And we've talked about this a lot,

but the very,

very short expectation is

you will see not proxy groups, okay?

And that's what we're seeing now.

We're seeing in Yemen.

We're seeing in Iraq and Syria,

this Jordan thing.

These are proxy groups.

These are not Iran per themselves.

They're sending advisors.

They have weapons sent.

But the people who are shooting them,

who are actually doing the attacking,

are not Iranian armies.

they're Iraqis or whatever.

The PMUs,

these guys that are actually like

attacking Americans in Iraq

most of the time, a PMU is, yeah,

you call them an Iranian backed group.

I hate that phrase, Iranian backed group,

but they're actually part

of the Iraqi government.

This is part of the deal

that Iraq had to make to stay a country.

Otherwise,

they'd be ripped apart between

the Kurds in the north and

Iran in the east and the

west with the ISIS.

I mean, it's,

Very bad situation.

But anyway, so that's part two.

That's the second phase is Iran.

Iran will actually themselves,

not proxy groups, okay,

not Iran-backed militias, them themselves,

Iranian army.

Navy, Air Force, nuclear, who knows?

Whatever other weapon they've got,

and it's substantial.

It may be the most

substantial weapon ever used on Earth,

and we're going to learn

that pretty quick.

They are going to themselves

come out and invade their neighborhood,

okay?

They're going to invade Iraq.

They're going to invade Saudi Arabia,

possibly, probably Turkey.

They will succeed, right?

They will not be able to be stopped.

They will acquire many new territories.

They will take control of

much of the world's oil.

We just say that because we know that.

We look at the map,

that's where the oil is.

And no one will be able to stop them.

That's what the Bible says.

That's step two.

Then comes step three.

At some point after that,

they are pushed back and

overthrown by the Turkish-led.

Turkey is going to lead the counterattack,

not America, not Israel, not Saudi Arabia,

whatever,

as if Saudi Arabia could do anything.

Not Pakistan, but Turkey will lead that.

They will conquer Iran.

They will kill its leaders.

They will decapitate the

whole system in Iran.

That's stage three.

Then they will take over the whole region.

Everything.

Then we have this division at that point.

This leader that sets this

thing up and defeats Iran

is killed or deposed, thrown in jail,

removed somehow.

Okay, then, then, after all that,

then we can start to look

about who this little horn

would be that rises up.

So we're not there yet.

We might not be that far.

Could be a couple of years.

But we're not going to know

until that is done.

All that has to be done.

Yeah,

we're at the beginning of the process.

So...

The tribulation will occur

during our lifetime.

I don't know that.

Hold on a second.

I don't know that.

All that I just described is

before the tribulation.

That's all pre-trib, right?

When I say the tribulation, I'm not even,

right?

All that has to happen

before the Antichrist can rise.

And the Antichrist has to

rise before we can get to

the last seven years.

That's why I wrote the book,

Flee to the Mountains,

to help us understand what

this process is.

Hopefully you can get it and read it,

everybody.

Fleetothemountains.com,

whatever format you want,

it's there for you.

There is a cost because

things cost money to write and publish,

make, and have out there.

Anyways...

So the point is, all that has to happen,

and then the Antichrist can come,

and then there has to be a

covenant with Israel.

That starts the last seven years.

But even that's not the tribulation, Paul.

Three and a half years after

that is signed,

then we have the breaking

of the covenant.

We have the invasion of the enemies of God,

the enemies of Israel,

into Jerusalem and Israel.

That's the tribulation.

Will that moment...

What do you mean in our lifetimes?

I don't know.

I'm almost 50.

How long am I going to live?

30 years?

Maybe more?

Is it 30 years away until that?

It might be.

I kind of don't think so,

but I'm not going don't don't go on.

Chris Manti saying probably.

Anything.

OK, that's not.

That's not the Holy Spirit.

All right.

He's keeping that one to himself.

When these things kick off.

and how long they take to finish.

Do you understand what I mean?

We're getting through the process.

So at the end of all that I

just talked about,

all those wars and rumors of wars,

that's just the beginning.

That's why Jesus said that.

That's why he said you were

going to see wars and rumors of wars,

but don't be frightened.

Don't fall away yet because

the end is not yet.

The end has not come.

The tribulation doesn't come

with these initial wars.

Got to wait, be patient,

endure to the end.

Endurance, right?

That's what we need to build up.

Patient endurance.

It might be near,

but that still means

potentially decades still.

Maybe our children's, Paula, think of it,

maybe your children's generation,

think of it more like that.

Just just it's wiser.

I think it's just wiser, especially,

you know,

if we're getting not that you are,

but any of us who are, you know,

getting into 50s and 60

years old time frames,

I wouldn't bet on the fact

that I'm going to be here.

Before I die.

Right.

So.

near but let's this is why

these things are given to

us by god so we can know

exactly where on the road

we are we don't have to

guess um at a certain point

we're going to know when

that when we see that

covenant with death in the

grave with israel and her

neighbors we call it the

beast when they make an

agreement then we can start

the clock then we can start the clock

Until then,

it's not specifically timed

other than they have to

happen near to each other.

Again,

this is why Jesus would give us the

example of a pregnant woman, right?

Of a pregnancy is that

you're pregnant for nine months.

I mean, if many of you know what that is,

it seems to go quite a long time actually,

right?

From the beginning that you

know you're pregnant, you get whatever,

you find out it's true, yay.

And then this whole process,

it takes a while.

You don't give birth as soon

as you find out that you're pregnant.

You know it's coming eventually.

It has to come eventually.

But you still don't know an exact date.

You just get a guesswork.

A due date is just a guess.

It's not until you actually

start having contractions

at the end that you know

how much longer you have essentially.

right?

Then you can say, okay, this is the date.

This is tomorrow or today is the day,

right?

It's only when you get those

contractions beginning.

That's why he calls it birth pains.

And they're going to start,

and when they do start,

and they're going to get

more and more severe and

closer and closer together until the baby,

until the Lord comes back.

Um,

The birth pangs seem slow off and on,

and then boom.

I won't get graphic here, but ladies,

you know.

Yeah, I mean, and again,

it's like we can't skip along either,

right?

If you're in month seven,

you can't be in month nine

all of a sudden.

You know what I mean?

And I understand there's, look,

it's not an absolutely bulletproof,

you know, way of looking at it.

You can say, oh, but preemies, right?

Premature, you know,

my father was born in this,

I think the sixth month.

So anyway, you catch the drift, right?

Okay.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Thank you.

Okay.

Kim says, we're talking about Assad,

right?

The cross-organization

affiliation makes me

reflect on deeper

historical knotted

entanglements going back to

French Revolution before

the Templar timeframe, i.e.

Romanism with Ismailis.

Ismailis?

You mean sons of Ishmael?

Muslims?

Arabs?

Anyway, yeah.

I mean,

I'm definitely not one to put any

stock in Islam combining

with anything ever.

It's just not what they do.

They're never going to bow

or be associated with any

Christian anything.

Can't.

It's shirk.

It's...

what do you call it

polytheism to them any

Muslim who really believes

what they believe will tell

you father son holy spirit

is polytheism to them not

to me anyways alright anything else guys

A lot going on, obviously,

in the world at large.

Tons to talk about if you want.

No problem here.

I can't stay too much longer,

but I'm here for you if you want to be.

Just checking our app right

now to make sure I'm not

missing any questions.

Doesn't look like it.

No, if it's Instagram,

they're having problems.

Can you ask it here?

Someone else is watching on

Instagram and I'm not able

to see their comments.

I can't see anything.

I'm looking at Instagram right now.

I can't.

It's just a blank screen.

I don't know.

So apparently it's going out there,

but I can't see questions.

So if you are on Instagram

right now and you're commenting,

I apologize.

I can't see it.

So either hop on YouTube or

X or you can text me if you

know my number.

But Anchor Down says,

I believe the sons of

Ishmael are having dreams

and visions lately.

Yeah, for a while, a couple of years now.

Becoming saved believers,

I find it beautiful.

dependents descendants I

think you probably mean

descendants of ishmael will

be in the kingdom of the

sons of isaac yeah amen

that's true and that's

exactly what the that's

exactly what the gospel to

the gentiles is about right

ishmaelites are gentiles

right the non-gentiles are

not only just abraham

abraham isaac and jacob

That's the promise seed.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.

If you don't have those three in there,

you're not.

You're not part of the promise nation.

But anyways, yeah,

it's beautiful and kind of

sad because... Yeah, autocorrect.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

It's kind of sad because...

That might mean the church

is not doing our job.

Why would Jesus have to

directly give dreams to

Muslims in the Middle East

when we should be

delivering the gospel ourself?

That's the Great Commission.

I'm not for sure that's why he's doing it,

but it seems like that's at

least a factor in it.

coco hello coco pray for me

to stop using fentanyl oh

gosh yes stop it right now

uh father help coco to stop

this destructive behavior

um that will only kill her

and hurt her family in

jesus name this is not to

be messed with this is not

coco just being serious my

wife works at a methadone

clinic every single day um

we see the results of the

even trying to stop it

It's such a hard task by

using other drugs to come down from that.

You know what I mean?

Fathers intervene

supernaturally to stop this behavior,

God.

You cannot mess with this stuff.

Don't.

Cold turkey it if you have to.

It's not worth it.

Okay.

Also,

do you believe Jesus will return by 2048?

Well, I'm not sure why we picked that date,

but maybe, probably, probably,

that's as good as I can give you.

And again,

it doesn't matter what we think

or what we want or what we believe.

Hopefully our belief is

completely based on the

scriptures alone and not on

other YouTubers or whatever,

even other well-meaning

believers telling us this or that.

None of that is relevant.

God has spoken on it.

We went over a little bit

about how these things unfold, again,

per the scriptures, right?

Not per current events,

not per this teacher or any

teacher or any tradition or

any church tradition or whatever.

None of that matters.

In fact,

it's very bad to go on any of that

except the scriptures themselves.

So when we see these things unfolding,

then we can get a better

idea about how near his return is.

And again,

like I just said a minute ago to Paula,

we get that last seven year

period established and

it'll be clear if you're

watching it will be clear

to see um god will make

sure of that right we're

going to have a covenant

with death in the grave

sheol between israel on one

side and all her neighbors

on the other that's the

covenant that's the deal

once you see that

and a new temple begins to

be built because of that

deal and only because of that deal,

then we know there's seven

years left until he returns.

Okay?

But until we get there, we can't know.

Everything would just be a guess.

um okay coco and please

please please recognize you

the dire need you have to

stop this fentanyl use it's

not an option my sister

please um reads read

something interesting bond

servant says reads read

something interesting this am

In about 550 AD,

a cold temperature fog came

over the known world.

Famine, drought, etc.

Very dim sun.

Same time Islam was rising up.

That's a very interesting

and unfortunate weather event.

550 AD, so that's before Islam.

Maybe Muhammad was born around then.

Is that possible?

Maybe it was after that.

Maybe it's just prefiguring

the spiritual reality of

Satan establishing his own religion,

you know, very soon.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Yeah, that's definitely interesting.

Shalom, girl.

Hey, what's up?

Shalom.

Almost Shabbat.

Shalom.

Almost.

Close.

I don't know where you are, actually,

but where I am, it's not here yet.

Muslims getting dreams where

governments are pulling our visas,

making it very difficult

for us to get workers back

for broad sewing.

Yes, that's true.

Not only because of what you're saying,

but because I know very

close friends who have

encountered that as well.

Eurasia, Middle East, Syria, Turkey,

Pakistan.

Yeah, it is getting very difficult.

Maybe that's why the Lord's doing it.

Like, you know, going to them directly.

in dreams and things yeah

Pray for Coco's addiction to be broken.

Might have the date off,

but might have been a little bit later.

I'll have to double check.

Oh, that's fine.

Yeah, I mean, check if you want,

but it's just a cool... It

would be an interesting coincidence.

Quote, unquote.

Shalom Girl says...

1978.

Okay.

Now, wait a minute.

Now, wait a minute.

We're going to have to back

up these claims here.

Elon Musk opened up the abyss.

What did he do in 1978?

He's not much older than me, is he?

How old is Elon Musk?

He's 52.

He was born in 1971.

So when he was seven years old,

he opened up the abyss?

I don't understand.

And he asked you to play

with his friends when he was seven?

All right.

I don't know.

You're going to have to explain more.

I love Jesus.

Amen.

Who saved me from the Illuminati.

I'm not covering for them no more.

Well.

uh he saves us from every

deceiver and every every

evil thing amen um and

doesn't mean we necessarily

understand what we came out

of either right sometimes

it's just well um I'm saved

now so I'm gonna go tell

somebody else about the

lord and make sure they

come to the family of god

regardless of where I'm

from right or what my past is that's what

As long as we remember that,

we'll be good.

Now, granted,

sometimes he will send us to

minister to those who were

in a similar situation to

us so they can be saved.

Of course, that's his desire and will.

Definitely want to do that.

Anyways, yeah, that's it.

That's the gospel, right?

Whosoever will.

Whosoever will.

Bring them all in.

Compel them in the highways and byways.

Love for Jesus and to be a

disciple of his and to make

other disciples for him or

make other disciples of him

is the meaning of life.

Right?

And of, you would hope,

any church that's established anywhere,

whether they're being a

physical church like a

building somewhere or in a

house or digital space.

That's us, okay?

This is us being a church.

Um...

Kim says, R.E.

Musk may not be from Turkey, Iraq, Syria,

which he's definitely not,

but he works for the same master.

Key point, make no man an idol.

Well,

definitely don't make anyone an idol

for sure.

It's not going to end well, right?

It's never going to end well.

If you look to any human,

especially those with power

or promising you

anything promising you any

benefit power money

greatness technologies

whatever not the way that's

that's uh that's a lie okay

um thank you everyone for

your prayers heading to work now good

Yes.

Yeah, Coco, no problem.

Yeah, thanks for asking for prayer.

That's a big step right there, right?

Admitting that you need it

and that we need to stop

what we're doing.

You deserve credit for that, for sure.

It's not easy.

So thank you.

Praise God that he has you working, right?

That's great.

We're not at the point where

we can't function, which is good.

oh more about that

unfortunately looks like my

middle son became an addict

at 15 in and out of prison

that must be so impossible

for a parent obviously

harder on the person who's

going through it but but as

a parent now you know with teenagers

In our prison, he's now 26.

Still struggles, but sober.

Good.

Hard road, yet he's finishing out.

Bringing a jail term out in May.

Coco, please stop.

It will only bring heartbreak.

Yes, amen.

Yes, yes, yes.

Coco, he'll help you in finding detox.

Well, if she's still here,

if you need help,

tell us where you're at or,

or maybe message someone here or, um,

hopefully someone nearby

where you are in your life, um,

knows that you want help or

can help you to get that again,

as soon as possible is

definitely the word of the day here.

No need to wait.

I mean, boy, we don't,

the Lord might require our souls tonight.

You know what I mean?

Um,

yeah definitely as soon as

soon as you possibly do

something like today like

tomorrow morning like take

a step take a step um okay

I'm just gonna maybe we'll

close out with this um

Little nugget.

1978,

I asked our Illuminati auntie if Elon

was the Antichrist.

She said no.

How would the auntie know?

The Holy Spirit asked.

I don't know.

We don't know, right?

The church doesn't know,

so she definitely wouldn't know.

Just saying.

She said no, but he will present the mark,

and when you see him do that,

the Antichrist will step

forward and take the stage.

That's fine, but that's not Bible.

okay I mean you can if the

holy spirit has spoken to

you and given you details

that only you could know

and that only you can use

when the time comes great

great but that's not

scripture okay we should

not be looking at elon musk

for the emergence of the

antichrist we should be

looking to what the bible

says to look for the events

in the nations that he says will act

Those 10 Kings are not random Kings.

They're from the middle East.

It's a, it's a, there's a reason why, um,

the,

the lion and then the bear and then

the leopard emerge.

from where they do, in the nations they do,

and do the things that they do,

in the order that they do them.

And all that has to happen

before any Antichrist comes.

So no matter what else

surrounds the world at that time,

or what's going on,

or who's putting forth some

kind of technology or whatever,

stick to what the scriptures say.

That's our witness.

That's reliable, right?

It doesn't matter what we

were told by anyone.

This is the scripture.

This is the word of the Lord.

This is that.

When things happen, we can say,

this is that.

I know that walk as a parent.

I will help any way I can.

Yeah,

the addiction and the child and trouble.

Yeah.

Yeah, Kimberly definitely knows.

Illuminati admits they talk

directly with demonic spirits,

including Satan.

That might be true.

It might not.

But even if it is, demons lie.

Right?

That's what they do.

Satan lies.

He doesn't know what timing God has.

That's not revealed to him at all.

Only the Father knows.

The angels don't even know.

Satan doesn't have more of

an idea than you do.

Any of us.

You know what I'm saying?

Don't give more credit to

the enemy or people who

claim they speak to the

enemy for knowing things.

They don't.

When the temple shows up,

then we will know.

Stop prognosticating.

I mean, that's a visible sign, right?

Like I say, first,

you need an agreement to build the thing.

That's number one.

That's where I run into

people trying to jump over

hoops to get to the temple

when we can't get there yet because...

All these things have to happen.

And then we have a condition

where all the nations that

surround Israel agree,

we're not going to attack you.

We're going to support this temple.

We're going to agree that

this is part of the deal.

Jerusalem is a solved issue.

There's no more controversy.

Go ahead and build it.

Okay, then we know.

Like Bonservant says,

that is when we'll know because,

for other reasons too,

but primarily because Jesus says,

when you see this, when you see this,

the abomination of

desolation spoken by the prophet Daniel,

he who reads understands, right?

Like when you see the

Antichrist sit in that place.

So there'll be an actual

person with an actual butt

sitting in an actual chair

in an actual temple building.

So none of that can happen

without the building.

Regardless of anything else,

the end time events are not

coming to a close until

that building is there.

And then even then, right, we got time.

Okay, very good, Bon Servant.

Thank you for that.

I think we're going to close it there,

friends.

I love you all so, so very much.

Again,

I apologize if anyone's on Instagram

and is trying to communicate,

but I can't see nothing.

Can't see your comments at all.

Sorry about that.

But please do share this.

Again,

any platform that you can is helpful,

but super especially,

get the End Time Church app.

Use it.

Introduce yourself.

We're a family there.

We want to foster a family environment.

We want to get to know you.

We want to, you know, do the church,

right?

We want to be the family of God.

So get the app and use it.

And until then, Lord willing,

we'll see you Monday night, 8 p.m.

Eastern for end time church service.

We'll worship together.

We'll pray together.

We'll learn the word together.

That's what we've been doing

every single Monday night since 2018,

June, I believe it was June, 2018.

So let's continue that.

Let's not go off into our

little side pockets and do it.

Let's just do this thing together.

I hope to see you then.

May Jesus bless you richly.

Yeshua, the Messiah.

His Holy Spirit is here for us.

He can help us.

He will help us.

He loves to help us.

We just love Him and serve

Him in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Amen.

Till Monday, folks.

Bye-bye.

Confessing my unforgiveness for hurts over the past 4 years

Confessing my unforgiveness for hurts over the past 4 years. All the ugly details - pray with and for me so Jesus may be magnified!

Transcript:

Hey, good afternoon, everyone.

Pastor Mantei here, your friend, hopefully, Christopher Mantei.

This is a little different today.

Actually, it's a lot different.

Normally,

we have been saving this time of

the week for prayer,

and certainly that should be happening,

and I want to do that here today,

but in a different kind of way.

I don't know if anyone's

going to watch this.

I don't know if it's going to stay on.

I may delete this.

Um, in a few minutes, uh, who knows?

Um, but it's been really laying on me to,

to address something that, um,

a lot of things that have

been building up for about

four years now since COVID basically.

Um,

And so I just want to get it out there.

And maybe it'll just be therapeutic.

I don't know.

But in the world,

in the larger Christian world,

we've been seeing a lot of

Sin problems and lack of

confession and lack of

transparency and lack of

repentance and showing

works consistent with that repentance.

So this is my effort,

at least on this topic,

to do that for me and for

the ministry that God has

And that means the people that you guys,

whoever does watch this,

you guys who have in one way or another,

at one time or another,

may have been impacted by

anything through Wings of the Eagle,

through End Time Church, etc.

So yes,

I'm taking responsibility for those

things.

And for the people that God has drawn,

I want to confess some things to you.

unforgiveness basically is

what it is um because of

hurts because of look I

understand as a as a

christian we've got to have

an understanding and a tough skin um

Generally,

because we know that to follow

Jesus is to expect trouble,

is to expect persecution,

is to expect just trouble generally,

including from the people

who are closest to you,

your family and friends who

basically don't like that

you're following Jesus.

So there's that.

And I get that.

and I accept that.

And that's not this,

this is from Christians,

brothers and sisters who, yeah, or were,

are, were very close, um,

friends and like family.

And, um,

things have happened the past

couple of years that I just don't,

I do not understand how they got there.

And I'm going to get

specific here in a second, guys.

I'm not teasing anything.

I'm just, I'm going to say it.

Um,

But it just it boggled my

mind at the time.

I was just flabbergasted.

OK, I was floored.

I don't understand why this

would come to this.

And so I guess I just never

forgave the whole situation.

Them personally,

the results of their

actions and my actions.

I don't know,

but I do feel like there's

unforgiveness around.

So I want to confess that now.

And against who and what?

Here it is.

Okay, so again, going back a couple years,

I'm not going to get

super-duper detailed.

I don't want to call anyone

to the carpet or anything like that.

And the names that I'm going to tell you,

again,

I am not expecting them to do anything.

I'm just telling you these

are the hurts and these are

the issues of –

unforgiveness perhaps that

I'm dealing with or refuse

to deal with um obviously

in the year 2000 we had a

whole bunch of bad stuff

kind of call come together

and this is why I believe

god made sure end time

church was was going doing

live online church and had

an online app obviously app

um available before that but

We have COVID.

We have a ridiculous

election and all kinds of

fake news and propaganda

and all this stuff.

And the church is involved with all of it,

you know?

And so, of course, as a Christian,

as someone now with a church,

this is going to

come to a head sometimes

with people who you know

and work with and are in ministry with.

So the first incident

basically was with Daniel Seccombe.

And Daniel, if you know him, you might.

He's from Australia.

He has the Israel, Islam,

and End Times ministry,

and he's all over the place.

And I think he pastors a

church locally now.

where he is, but we got very close.

I can't even be sure when we first met,

but I had intentionally

reached out to several

folks years ago who were, I thought,

traveling in a similar way.

We came close with Daniel, um, uh,

for my part, um,

at least I thought from his,

we were friends, good friends.

Um, he would travel to America, um,

several times.

And one of those times he

was in my home and he's, you know,

I invited him and he slept over, you know,

like we had, um,

we had things to do and he

stayed here and he spoke at my church.

my local church, uh,

Iron Faith Fellowship where I was, uh,

I am, uh, associate pastor.

Um, and so I don't know how much, you know,

closer you could be.

We had a years long relationship,

ministerial and again, friendly,

many appearances together.

We, we shared, uh,

many online things together.

He's been on End Time Church.

We got together anytime we could to

share the stage as it were.

And we actually were in Tyler, Texas.

And, um, he was,

we shared a stage there and on, um,

in Tennessee the year after.

So anyway, the point is it was,

it was multi-year, you know,

deep type of things anyway.

And then in 2020, it all went to hell.

It all went to hell.

Um, I think,

I think as best as I could figure,

it was because of my

opposition to Donald Trump and,

And my insistence that the

conservative Christians,

like obviously he is, and I am,

and most everyone in our circles is,

that we had confessing to do,

that we were sinning,

that we were in idolatry

just as much as the left.

Or as believers,

we should be focusing on

ourselves and not non-believers.

Between that and – Daniel

was himself and through his

pages advancing a lot of

conspiracy theories about

COVID vaccines and things like that.

And I sent – I mean

obviously I expressed my

opinions publicly.

freely you know I do my

thing here um and uh he

didn't agree with it and

that's fine I don't have to

have a total agreement with

people I work with and my

friends and ministry

partners there's the gospel

okay anyway one time I can

recall one time I i

messaged daniel about hey

maybe you should tone it

down about these

conspiracies about the

vaccines and stuff let's

just you know concentrate on the gospel

and I guess that was it um

we we've had no

communication since then

other than again I don't

want to cut communication I

didn't want to stop

anything but he hurt me a lot and um

To this day, I don't know.

There was an email exchange

where it was very not friendly,

like not the same person, you know,

quizzing me,

giving me like a litmus test

for don't you agree with this, that,

and the other thing.

And that was it.

Since then,

I have reached out because I

was asked to by, you know,

Alfati and stuff.

We've had conferences and he

wanted to invite Daniel.

So I did the inviting and

Daniel never replied to me on the invite,

but he ended up talking to

Al-Fadi about it.

Whatever.

That's fine.

But all of that hurts.

Again, it's not just I like the guy.

I like them a lot,

and I thought God was

moving us together in

ministry and doing a great thing,

and I supported him.

I supported him in his work,

and he was writing.

He wanted to finish a book

that he wanted to complete,

so I helped him with tools to do that.

I'm just saying.

I'm not trying to

God forgive me if I'm trying

to do anything else other

than give everyone a

complete picture of why I was so hurt.

I certainly never felt any

of that was reciprocated.

But that's really not the issue.

The point is there's a lot

of hurt that came from his

just turning off of the

relationship completely.

Now, Daniel is very also well connected.

He knows people in a lot of places.

I don't know for sure how

broadly he told others not

to communicate with me or work with me.

But I know of one instance for sure,

and that is an extremely

tragic situation because

there's a group called

Generation to Generation

Daphne and Andrew Kirk.

They reached out to me.

Actually, I reached out to them, I guess,

originally because they

were doing this like virtual, you know,

church thing and trying to

gather people from other countries and do,

you know, like Zoom calls together.

Like, oh,

this is kind of what this is my

wheelhouse.

You know,

this is what I'm trying to do

with End Time Church.

Like, how can we work together?

We had a great call.

for a while you know just

just us and and we had a

follow-up call and then

he's like hey why don't we

do a pot we have a podcast

why don't we interview you

for your book fleet of the

mountains awesome you know

fantastic for some reason

it's no one wants to

interview me about this

book seems um maybe three

or four interviews maybe

half a dozen in the past

five years um but anyway

okay this is great so let's

do it so we had a long

ranging interview two parts

I mean it was hours long

all about it.

And it went so well.

It went so smoothly.

They're great people.

We got along great.

It was a tremendous podcast.

But then it never was released.

To this day,

you've never heard it because

they never released it.

And when I finally, and I was not told why,

they just never happened.

So I had to do the digging.

I had to do the

investigating through the

bull and the hurt of it.

Why would you do all that

and then not release it?

I was told that Daniel is

part of their board,

and he recommended that

they not work with me.

So I'm saying I don't care

how personally you don't

like me or don't think I'm worth it.

This is a book that has

nothing to do with me.

This is like life's work kind of stuff.

This is about the Jewish people.

This is about preparing for Jesus.

This is about, you know, prophecy.

It's about Bibles, about God's word.

It's about us doing things.

It has nothing to do with me

at all or my opinions on anything.

We can't overlook this stuff,

just at least put out this

podcast so other people can

see and maybe read it or

bring it up in their

congregations or their whatever.

Obviously, as you can tell,

it still hurts.

And maybe I don't even want

to forgive that.

Because it seems so brazenly stupid.

Like antichrist stuff.

So it's not good to justify

our unforgiveness.

Okay, so I don't want to do that.

So there's that.

We've got Daniel.

We've got Daphne and Andrew Kirk.

We've got Dana Crosby after that.

Best as I can figure, again,

she didn't like that I

wasn't super Trump man.

Dana and I have, again, shared a stage.

She's been in my home.

We did filming together.

We did filming.

She came to my area.

We went around my town and

my area here where I live

to do filming for a

documentary about the rapture, okay?

It had nothing to do with nothing.

Politics, Trump,

had nothing to do with anything.

We had a great time.

Again, we're hanging out.

We're friends.

You know, we have families of similar ages,

you know, our kids and all.

And it was like, you know,

we're becoming closer and

we're doing things online

together and so forth and so on.

And, you know,

I'm introducing her to Sonia

Azam and like the

relationships are building.

This is what I love to do.

This is what God has gifted me to do.

The documentary, as far as I know,

was trashed.

Never got made.

Never got released.

Again, I've shared a stage with her.

I introduced her to the

people who were doing the

Understanding the Times conference.

Of course, that ended after COVID.

But the last one of those

that we had in Texas,

she was on the stage for that with me.

So this is things that I

take very personally.

just because we can't agree

on a candidate or something.

And, and, and I just, I, again,

I don't even recall

specific incidents of what

the problem is or was, but like,

she just couldn't handle

the fact that I wasn't on

board and that I would call out, you know,

antichrist things were happening and, and,

and false, um, you know,

calling out the Bible for

political reasons and like,

Anyway, again, not my decision.

I'm not associating with

this person or that,

or I'm not going to make a

documentary with you anymore,

or don't come on my show.

Nothing like that, ever,

because I don't believe in that.

But anyway, as far as I can tell,

because of that opposition that I had,

and she is, again, one of many,

many Christians who is

tying your Christianity to

your support of Donald

Trump and the Republican Party,

I'm like, no, I can't go with you there.

But let's... Can we go on?

Like, can we proceed and do something?

No, that was it.

That was it.

To this day, I haven't heard from her.

Apparently,

she's reached out a couple of

times to my pastor, Randy.

And... But... Randy Scott.

But, like, never to me.

And his... God bless him.

He is...

on point every time that

happens it happens a good

amount with him people will

come to him instead of the

person who they have an

issue with immediately he

will say why are you

talking to me you have a

problem with them go to

them which I applaud him

for and I wish she would

but she hasn't I don't even

know how big her ministry

is now I don't even know

she's still in it um I hope

she is but a point this is

now incident number three

since 2020.

And before I get to the final one,

because it's the one that hurts the most,

is there are many others

who are not going to be named or,

you know,

who weren't as confrontational or just,

you know, cutting everything off.

But many other, many,

many other people have

were fans or you know love

the book love the courses

yada yada was that end time

church you're faithfully

there every week and then

they're gone they're like

gone gone there many others

just went quiet they don't

engage me public or in

private anymore they just

they're gone I don't I have

no idea what is up with that no clue

other than I'm not stupid.

I think I see what's

happening because we share

some of the same folks that we admire,

like Daniel second, like Dana Crosby,

like the last one I'm going to mention.

So a lot of them just went

quiet and disappeared.

Some of them,

have contacted me

periodically but it's never

to say hey how you doing or

you know this is you know

encourage me somehow it's

always to rebuke or bring

some kind of correction or

this is what god is telling

me you know in relation to

what you're doing it's like

what okay so that's some not a lot some

Um, and,

and the one that continuously

frustrates me even till

today is I would engage.

There are those who won't

engage back to me,

even though I initiate contact with them.

And we walk in the exact same circles.

We have the exact same audience.

We had the exact same friends.

will name these people

because I don't get it if

you know if travis snow or

alan kirchner is listening

what is going on I want to

engage I want to work

together they have podcasts

they invite me it's so

simple not to at least alan

does anyways the point is

there are all the

situations are happening at

the same time and now for

now going on four years

this and the final incident

that I want to talk about

is definitely the hardest

because not only because

obviously personal hurt to

me but many many others

have been hurt by it and my

way of handling it hurt

them hurt them or or hurt

their relationship with Joel Richardson

um or or fai and um I again

like this doesn't mean

anything but I'm just

telling you this is the

truth um years ago after um

after I read um

Mideast beast, I guess.

Someone 2015 ish area,

probably around 10 years ago now.

Um,

I made it a point to reach out to this

guy who wrote this book and

it blew my mind, you know,

changed my view on things and,

and really saw God working in him.

And, and right off the bat,

I just volunteered myself.

I kind of offered my service to him.

Literally.

I said, I said in emails, I said, uh,

video,

I said to him to his face when we

were in Israel together, I said,

what do you want me to do to help you?

I will help you.

I'm offering my service to you.

What do you need me to do?

What do you want me to do?

And that's kind of where I'm

at with Elfati, by the way, today.

Because I'm such a believer.

I feel what he's doing.

I feel the Lord using him.

And it's like,

I feel like we can be partners in that.

Anyways, so I reached out to him.

I volunteered my service.

I volunteered my airwaves, as it were,

okay?

This stuff that I do.

When I did write my book,

Fleet of the Mountains, I'm not an author,

okay?

I don't have a half a dozen

books like Joel does.

I have one book that's about this big.

And I asked him to participate in it.

And he gave me an interview for it.

And it was more difficult

than I thought it would be to,

to finalize that,

but that's not really the issue.

Obviously I grew very close again,

for my part to him, we texted, you know,

directly.

I was totally on board with

what he was doing.

And then we,

he got involved with FAI and this,

you know,

the missions end of it to the

middle East.

I was totally on board with that.

Obviously, Joel,

I support him every way I could.

I,

Again, yes,

he wanted to come to my local church,

so I hosted him in my home.

He slept in my son's bed.

Obviously alone.

Okay.

I'm not insinuating anything.

He was here.

I spoke at my local church.

He spoke at a friend's

church where I introduced

him to in another town by me.

Years long relationship,

many appearances together.

All those understanding the

times conferences were, you know,

we were both there together.

Again,

I don't mean to say anything by this

other than it's the truth.

I financially supported him

and his ministry a lot.

From my perspective,

for someone who doesn't have money,

for a young family who

really is not making it to

try to sacrificially give

to a work of the Lord,

I felt it was important that I did that,

and I did, and I did it a lot.

All right.

I won't, I won't give any more,

any of that, but not only that,

but referring everybody I

knew and you all who've

been around with me for a

while can attest to this.

And I still do it.

I don't bad mouth the guy.

Always have recommended his books,

his videos, his, you know,

what he's doing, his, his character,

like always,

always like the free advertising, right?

It's just go to Manti.

He'll do that.

Um, and then again, like personally, yeah,

there were incidents like,

I don't understand.

Uh,

he was supposed to interview me about

flea to the mountains

because he was in it, you know,

he was part of it,

but that never happened.

It was just very difficult.

And, and, and again,

I was trying to be as

flexible as possible,

but it just never happened.

There was some kind of barrier up there.

Something was going on.

Um,

Anyway, and then 2020 happened.

I flew to Israel to be at

the FAI Maranatha conference in January,

right before COVID was a

thing around the world.

And actually,

I believe I was on the

airplane that flew back the

day it was declared a

pandemic from this conference.

But I left the conference

very down and just spiritually exhausted.

in a very bad state because

of what I had experienced there,

which was a kind of a lot of shunning,

a lot of like, this is weird.

Like what's going on.

I don't see working together.

I had my,

you know, issues with Dalton.

Not personal, like me and him issues,

but just like he was just weird,

wouldn't talk.

And I knew there was some

kind of history of something,

but it was all kind of vague.

Anyway, point is,

I got back from there thinking,

I don't know.

It just seems like there's

separate paths going on.

I don't understand.

And then my friend, Mark,

called me one day and said, hey,

did you see this

There's this thing about

Dalton actually being in

adultery years and years ago,

and you never actually, you know,

no one knows about it.

But here's this blog from a

guy who was involved,

and him and his wife,

and Dalton and his wife, like,

what the heck?

Anyway,

I'm not going to go into details of that,

but I said, wow, nope,

I never saw that before,

but this is interesting.

Why is

The ministry is still kind

of carrying on and like

nothing ever happened.

And like, why didn't I know about this?

I thought I was friends with these guys.

I should know.

I'm a supporter.

I'm referring people.

I'm giving money.

I'm screening films.

I've screened FAI movies

like Sheep Among Wolves, et cetera,

in my church, told everyone about it.

I wanted to live stream it.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, I was all in.

I didn't know none of this.

Like, I should have known.

At a certain point, right?

I mean, not just me,

but anyone who's supporting

should know the history of

the organization and the leader.

Anyway,

so I shared with some of my friends

who I was in Israel with.

Steve Buckley,

who I was in the original

Israel trip with in 2011.

19, 2017, and then again in 2020,

we were there.

we hung out and nick franks

also uh nicholas franks who

again I just kind of

reached out on a whim a

couple months before and uh

he didn't think he was

going to be able to go last

minute he actually got it

it turned out that he could

go so we all met up in

israel it was cool we hung

out whatever so I'm I'm

sharing this now new

information with them and

they can't believe it

they're like this is like a

betrayal I can't believe all this um

and then we found out the

way it was handled.

So we go to the, I go to Joel,

I go to the board of FAI,

anyone who will listen, you know,

what's going on.

Long story short.

Um, I did my due diligence.

I'm satisfied with it.

I went to, again,

a personal friend who was

like a third party, um,

to find out what he knew.

And then I talked to Joel directly and,

uh,

Apparently what I read was true,

at least mostly admitted to

even four years ago.

And I know how these things go.

I've been in a culty church.

I know cult-like ministers.

I'm not calling Joel that.

But I knew how it was going to end.

And especially if it's adultery,

it's going to happen again.

He's probably still doing it.

That was what I felt then.

And the point is this

process that they went

through with Alton and this

alleged restoration process.

Mike Bickle was involved.

Boy, that looks bad now, doesn't it?

And all this.

And it was like super fast

and super in the background.

No one saw it.

And anyway, it wasn't handled right.

And no one knew about it.

No one's being informed.

The donors were not being informed.

The supporters didn't know

anything about it.

And all of a sudden there's

this revelation and me and

Nick and Steve went back

and forth with them in private many,

many times to try to get some kind of,

Hey, can we do this over?

You know,

can we have an investigation or

can we just do this the right, something,

some kind of changing course somehow,

maybe just be more transparent,

tell everyone what happened

and let's just let it roll from there.

You know, something,

but they would not agree to any of that.

And so the three of us

co-authored a letter,

and we just posted it on

our respective blogs that we had.

Very small,

to be perfectly honest with you.

Between me and Nick and Steve,

we reached practically nobody.

um compared to fai people

it's not even close it's

like 20 to 1 50 to 100 to 1

audience size okay so I

just did it because it's

the right thing to do I

thought the holy spirit was

convicting me on it you

just have to do this it

doesn't matter you know

anything else because it's

the right thing anyway so I

did it um joel at that

point totally cut me off

all communication, um,

all friendship to the point

where he's saying,

take my name off your book.

Like I could sue you if you don't,

you know, lose my number.

Um,

This is one of the things I

have to confess in not only

having unforgiveness for being, for going,

you know,

not forgiving them for doing this,

but for me, for making basically idols,

especially Joel.

And like, it's totally my fault.

Right.

I, I always looked up to him like a,

not like a dad, but like a uncle or

He's only a couple of years older than me,

but he'd been on TV 15 years ago.

Glenn Beck and New York

Times bestselling author

and this and that.

But he still came across as a normal dude.

So I totally respected that.

And he was writing awesome

stuff and doing awesome stuff.

So I'm like,

I just kind of made an idol

out of the guy.

And that was wrong.

That was so dumb of anyone

to ever do that to any man.

Okay, regardless,

but he wasn't even a pastor or anything.

He wasn't in my life.

He wasn't a personal, you know,

like he doesn't live in my town.

I didn't see him at the grocery store.

This was just what it was.

And so I made him into too much.

And for that, I was wrong.

I am wrong.

I was wrong.

I got hurt like extra because I did that.

So that's not on him.

Okay, that's on me.

And I know I've hurt my friends.

I was so hurt by him.

And then when my friends who were not

part of it but saw what was

happening and who were like

mutual friends you know

that they liked him they

liked me and maybe they had

you know common converse

you know they still talk to

both of us but they

couldn't get why this was

happening I agree I don't

get why it's happening the

closest I could

come to understanding just

in direct conversation was

when I did have that final

talk with Joel before we

went ahead and published

that blog was he couldn't.

I was trying to say there's

a difference in my mind.

I'm not trying to gaslight you or whatever,

but there's a difference in

my mind between being a

board member of an

organization and you as an individual.

I thought that Joel,

the individual and his

ministry and work were

awesome and there's no problem at all,

but there is a problem with

the way this FAI situation

and the board was handling it.

And as a member of that board, yes,

I think you're wrong.

And like he put those,

he conflated and put them

things together.

Maybe they should be together.

I don't know, but I didn't do that.

I separated it out and that

was where it began.

And again, for my part,

I had no interest in when

people mean to me,

when they're cursing me out,

when they're saying I'm a

blankety blanky blank and

I'm a false this and that

and take my name off

anything you've ever done.

And I'm not going to associate with you.

And I'm going to recommend

people not associate with you.

At that point,

I'm not interested in having

that person in my life.

You've that's what you think of me, then.

Good luck,

but I'm not going to have that

person around to disrespect

me and chop me down and treat me like a,

you know, be abusive to me.

I'm not going to be abused.

So, yeah, I lost his number.

He blocked me on Twitter.

I did the same.

I don't know what else to do.

And that was a couple years ago.

And so I'm confessing that

with those names, with Daniel Seccombe,

Daphne and Andrew Kirk, Dana Crosby,

Joel Richardson,

that I have unforgiveness

towards those situations.

Again, not to justify the unforgiveness,

but

The reason why you don't see

interaction with those

people right now is because

they don't want anything

with me and it hurts a lot.

And, um,

With the FAI business, it's not just,

again, something in the past,

10 years ago,

Dalton did it again and got

fired finally a couple months ago.

But that's, like with IHOP,

usually with these situations,

it's not just one person.

It's not just one incident.

It's not just one person getting hurt.

It's a cascade of sin and

hurt and Christian on Christian crime.

And for the name of Jesus,

now he's sullied.

And I want healing.

I want solutions.

I want righteousness to be done.

I want Jesus to be glorified.

I don't want to sully his

name with my sin or anyone else's sin.

If we need discipline,

then let's do discipline.

If we need to reconnect,

then let's reconnect.

If we need to trash it and start over,

trash it.

I put my ministry on the line, public,

on the altar, I hope, every day.

I don't want Wings of the Eagle,

End Time Church,

or anything else to do

anything if it's disgracing God.

Or if my personal actions bring disgrace.

Yes, I desire healing with them.

Of course I do.

I don't want any of this to happen.

I can't believe that in my mind,

I can't process how my

opinions on this or that

all of a sudden they took

personally and won't associate.

And not only that,

but bad mouth me to others.

I'm nothing.

I'm nothing.

This is a nothing ministry.

I'm sorry.

I mean, God is good,

but it would be better if I

never started it.

for my family situation, for my income,

for my friendships.

I'm just trying to be faithful.

So I repent of my unforgiveness.

And so now hopefully people

can watch this.

If I leave it on, I don't know.

But if there's any confusion

about what has happened

with these other folks who

I used to be tight with and now I'm not,

this is what happened.

And maybe it sounds like no

big deal to folks here.

I seek some comments.

I bless you all for saying something.

Maybe it seems like no big deal,

but in a ministry setting, this is...

Really bad.

And so I've got to get to forgiving.

And what that really,

how that looks and what that means,

maybe I don't understand.

So pray for me.

Please.

Father, I want to forgive like Jesus does.

And willing to be hurt.

like he was for the gospel

for the mission's sake I

know I don't enjoy it I'm

never going to enjoy it I'm

sure you didn't enjoy it I

love you and um I hope I've

done some good here somehow

jesus name amen uh

Alright, is there anything?

Hey, Tracy.

Mercy is new every morning.

That is the truth.

I claim that.

I stand on that every day.

I heard as deeply as I can

be put into words what

happens in the family.

Yes.

And I know you know it too, bondservant.

You know.

Yes.

Yes.

Hey, Justin, parents, especially dad,

and it's hard to not grind on it.

Yeah.

I mean, I didn't even talk about that.

I mean,

that's another issue with my father,

my real dad.

I mean, excuse me, my fleshly dad.

It is sad when people turn

their backs on us.

However,

I believe it is good to take good

memories, keep moving forward,

renew the mind.

Renewing of the mind is what?

Paul says, yes.

Thank you.

There could be new missions

and colleagues on the way.

You're investing more than

the required time on a situation,

investing emotional energy.

Well, I have.

It's true.

you gary uh forgive myself

that's a tough one anyways

thank you all um for the

comments and for sticking

around that's all I've got

to say it's gone on too long already

So hopefully this time can

be constructive somehow in

the body of Christ.

I'm not looking to relitigate anything.

I'm not looking to change the history,

right?

I'm not looking to change the past.

If there is wrong,

I want to be forgiven for it.

I want to acknowledge it.

um and and like you said

move on yeah fine you know

apologies would be nice in

the flesh right might make

me feel good but in the end

it doesn't really matter no

the gospel is what matters

salvation is what matters

serving israel for example

is what matters why can't

we just rally around this

we got this is too darn important

Anyway.

All right, guys.

Love you so, so, so very much.

hey susan um don't believe I

met you before hello um so

where the jewel has been

outspoken about mike pickle

yeah from what I can see

and again he's blocked me

so like it's kind of tough

sometimes to find out but

um he has been outspoken

from what I know about

pickle and I hop he's doing

exactly the right thing and

it's almost funny because

what he is taking the stand

against Bickle and IHOP.

I feel like just saying, dude,

you're me in that four years ago.

This is exactly what I thought.

This is exactly what I felt.

This is exactly, I was,

I thought I was doing the right thing and,

you know,

exposing a fraudulent situation

and something that wasn't happening.

Right.

And we need to, we need to get,

do the right things and

transparency and make sure

victims are recognized and

healed and all that stuff.

Like that's all I was trying to do.

So it's not, I wouldn't say it's weird,

Susan.

I mean, in, in Joel's mind, he,

he was defending his friend

four years ago and now he's,

you know,

following the Holy Spirit with

the Bigel situation, which again,

I think he is,

I think he's doing the right thing there.

So I just, this good faith, you know,

I try to, I just act in good faith.

I don't want anyone,

any harm to come to anyone.

I don't want any minister to suffer.

I don't want anything bad to

come to Joel or Daniel or

Daphne or Andrew or Dana.

I just want you to love with the truth.

Okay.

Love you all, guys.

Until next time, who knows when that is.

Prayerfully,

Friday at some point will be

on for some Q&A time.

Thank you all.

Seriously,

I love you guys so much for

being here and commenting.

It means a really lot.

So I bless you in Jesus' name.

Amen.
