Overview

Chapters

• 00:00 - 01:00: Introduction to The Great Reset and Its Relevance The chapter opens with a discussion on 'The Great Reset,' a concept addressing the current state of national and personal spiritual experiences. The speaker emphasizes the importance of inviting the presence of God's holy spirit before proceeding with the discourse. The introduction sets the stage for exploring the deeper implications of this concept within both societal and individual contexts.
• 01:00 - 05:00: Ancient Egypt and The Nile's Importance Chapter 1 - Ancient Egypt and The Nile's Importance: The chapter begins with a contemplative prayer, asking for divine guidance through the exploration of 'the great reset.' Although the primary focus is not explicitly on the historical aspects or details about ancient Egypt or the Nile, the invocation for spiritual guidance sets a reflective tone that might suggest a deeper metaphorical or thematic exploration of history and its lessons in the context of present and future changes.
• 05:00 - 13:00: Joseph's Dream and Economic Management The chapter begins with an exploration of significant 'great resets' in history, using the format of discussing three major resets to aid memorability. The speaker suggests that people remember things better in threes, implying that this structure is intentional to aid understanding and recall.
• 13:00 - 23:00: The Great Reset in Egypt - Economic Enslavement The chapter titled 'The Great Reset in Egypt - Economic Enslavement' deals with the concept of 'The Great Reset' specifically in the context of ancient Egypt. It discusses different 'resets' in history, referring to either 'the final reset' or 'the third reset,' and takes a look at the first known reset which occurred in ancient Egypt. A rough map of the Nile region, including the Nile Delta and surrounding areas, is described to set the geographical context for the discussion.
• 23:00 - 34:00: Current Economic Challenges and Debt Crisis The chapter discusses the geographical significance of the Nile Delta as the most fertile area in Egypt, with the Nile River running south through ancient cities like Thebes down to the Nubian border near Sudan. It also touches on how modern developments, such as the construction of a massive dam in the 1950s, have impacted the region.
• 34:00 - 44:00: Digital Currencies and Economic Control The chapter discusses the impact of the Azwan Dam on the Nile River's flooding pattern, explaining how the dam has halted the annual inundation that characterized Egypt for thousands of years. It also touches on the geographical and historical context of Egypt, mentioning Upper and Lower Egypt, Thebes, and the Valley of the Kings and Queens.
• 44:00 - 50:00: Spiritual and Economic Preparations The chapter 'Spiritual and Economic Preparations' discusses the geographical and economic significance of the Nile River in ancient Egypt. It explains the position of upper and lower Egypt, highlighting the Nile's crucial role in providing drinking water, fish, nutrition, and serving as a major travel route. The chapter also notes the importance of the annual flooding of the Nile, which occurred between July and November, playing a foundational role in the Egyptian economy and civilization.
• 50:00 - 55:00: The Spiritual Great Reset - Born Again Experience This chapter explores the geographical and historical significance of the Nile River, particularly focusing on the confluence of the Blue Nile and White Nile in the modern city of Kartum, Ethiopia. The chapter highlights how the annual floods from July to November would transport large amounts of topsoil, enriching the lands downstream, particularly through Egypt. The narrative may tie into spiritual or philosophical themes related to rebirth and renewal, akin to natural cycles.
• 55:00 - 65:00: Revival and Receiving the Holy Spirit This chapter discusses the geographical and agricultural significance of the Nile River in Africa. The annual flooding of the Nile would deposit a rich layer of topsoil, making the surrounding areas extremely fertile. This natural phenomenon greatly contributed to the agricultural prosperity along the river's floodplains, which were bordered by desert lands. The chapter likely ties this historical and environmental context to a broader theme of revival or spiritual abundance.
• 65:00 - 83:00: Final Reflections and Prayers The chapter discusses the significance of the Nile River in ancient Egyptian civilization, focusing on the agricultural benefits provided by the river's flooding. The floodwaters, when receding, left behind a fertile layer of sludge on which Egyptians planted their grain, making the Nile a crucial agricultural resource.

The Great Reset | Dr. Conrad Vine Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 Uh this afternoon we're going to talk um as uh pastor said our first talk is called the great reset and um we're going to be talking about something that relates to where we are today in our in our national in our national experience um but also in our personal spiritual experience. So let's bow our heads and again invite the presence of God's holy spirit. Our heavenly father, we thank you for the blessings of this Sabbath day for physical and spiritual food. Now Lord, as we spend some moments
• 00:30 - 01:00 together looking at this topic of the great reset, Father, I ask that your Holy Spirit will speak through me and then for me and your guide and the choice of words that I have. I pray that your spirit will whisper into each of our hearts, this is the way. Walk ye in it. So Lord, we give these moments into your hands. We thank you in advance for what you're going to do in each of our lives today and in this coming week. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. So, have you all heard the phrase the great
• 01:00 - 01:30 reset? Yes. All right. So, um this is our journey today. We're going to look at the first great reset. Then we look at the second great reset. Then we look at the final reset. So, I'm not very imaginative when it comes to structure of things, but I do know that people remember things in threes and not in fours. And if you give two points to a sum, they think you just couldn't think of three things. And people think you've short changed them. So three is the best is the optimal thing for people to memorize things with. So we're going to have the first great reset, the second
• 01:30 - 02:00 great reset, and then I called it the final reset. Maybe I should have called it the third reset, freeze of memorization. But that's our journey today. And we're going to look at the first great reset. And we're going to look at ancient Egypt. And so this is a uh not a particularly accurate map of the Nile. And up in the north part, you've got the Mediterranean Sea up there. And beneath it with all those branches there, that's the Nile Delta. And you've got kind of lots of little rivers branching off from the Nile in the land of Goan there. And that's the
• 02:00 - 02:30 Nile Delta. That's the most fertile land of Egypt. Then you have the Nile goes all the way south and it goes through thieves and the ancient Egyptian cities all the way down to the cataracts in the far south. It says Nuba down there. That would be the coast, the map of Sudan, the border of Saddam there. And so, um, ancient Egypt was built around the river Nile. And these days, um, back in 1950s or so, the Egyptian government built some built a massive dam down here
• 02:30 - 03:00 called the Azwan Dam, and that stopped the inundation of the Nile on an annual basis. So, they no longer have the flooding of the Nile on an annual basis. We're going to come to that in a minute. But for four or 5 thousand years, every year the Nile would flood. And so in when you talk about Egypt, this here is called upper Egypt. And that is called lower Egypt. And the kings there's thieves and you got the valleys of the kings and the queens up here. This is
• 03:00 - 03:30 where the royal palaces were. And so uh upper Egypt is in the south and lower Egypt is in the north. And the Nile was essential for um drinking, for fish, for nutrition, and it was the main artery of travel in Egypt. There's a modern day picture of the Nile. In fact, the River Nile was the foundation of the entire Egyptian economy and civilization. And um they have the pyramids there. And every year for thousands of years between July and November, the Nile would surge in depth.
• 03:30 - 04:00 it would carry down from Ethiopia. Um, and the in in Ethiopia, the modern day city of Kartum, um, you have the two Niles, they meet. There's the Blue Nile and there's the White Nile. And they combine in Kartum. Then they flow down flow north just as the Nile all the way through Egypt. So Kartum is where the two branches of the Nile meet. And every year between July and November, the river Nile would flood and it would carry down huge quantities of top soil
• 04:00 - 04:30 from the heartland of Africa and it would carry all way along the the Nile Valley and it would flood and it would inundate the flood planes on either side of the Nile. And so wherever the Nile flooded, it would deliver up to 2 feet of this this like sludge. And this was top soil. And this made the Nile along the river Nile. it was extremely fertile. So you can see here um on this map here on the to the sides of the Nile you have a you have a short flood plane then you have the banks of of the desert
• 04:30 - 05:00 there and so wherever the banks of the desert were there was no flooding but everywhere else there was flooding for a couple of miles on both directions both sides of the river Nile and uh when the waters receded they left this thick um uh this this this this lubville plane of one or two feet of of thick sludge/ soil And that was what they used to plant their grain on. And that was the source of the the grain in ancient Egyptian civilization. In fact, Egypt was such an
• 05:00 - 05:30 important part of global food production that whoever controlled Egypt essentially controlled the Roman Empire. And it's no no accident that Julius Caesar became the lover of Cleopatra, the last of the of the the pharaohs, because he wanted control of the food supply of of Egypt. And whoever controlled Egypt controlled the food supply of Rome because most of the grain in Rome was grown along the Nile Valley. And so the the the the inundation of the Nile, as it was called, the flooding of
• 05:30 - 06:00 the Nile was super important to the ancient civilization. And the Egyptians were the world's superpower for over a thousand years. And so their entire economy was based on the flooding of the Nile. And that's how they got their food. That's how they exported food. That's how they got their wealth. And so the Egyptian priests being very clever guys, they had various means to calculate like like economists today, they knew how to calculate how high the Nile inundation would be every year. And
• 06:00 - 06:30 they would measure the turbidity of the water, that is how much silt has been carried in the water. So they would know how much soil is being carried downstream. And from that they could project what the annual crops were going to be. They were very very accurate at this. And so here you have this is this is from the 9th century. Um they they built these columns beside the Nile and the Nile would flow through this and there were markings on the column and depending on how high the water got and
• 06:30 - 07:00 they knew exactly um how much water was coming down the Nile. And so these days we have the pundits on you know Moneybox and CNN and Fox. They talk about, you know, that what the economy is doing, what's happening to interest rates, are we going into recession or all that kind of stuff. But the Egyptians, they had the same forecasting system. Here you have um another part in upper Egypt. They had steps. They they had they cut next to the cataracts the um the falls of the Nile. They cut these steps down into beside the water. And then they
• 07:00 - 07:30 would measure, you see the little markings on the left. This is from about 4 thou 2,000 BC. They would measure how much water was going through and how much silt was in the water. And based on that with their mathematicians, they knew exactly what the crops were going to be that year. And once they knew how much food there was going to be, that's like the Federal Reserve increasing or or decreasing interest rates, they know how much the money supply is going to be. And so the whole Egyptian economy was based around the inundation of the
• 07:30 - 08:00 Nile. And so there were we um there were very specific marks indicated how high the flood would be if the floods were to get a good soil. They knew that if there was too much water and not enough silt then the good soil that was there was going to be washed away. They knew that if there was too too much silt and not enough water in the flooding then the silt would only go so far up the Nile and not go the whole way. So they knew exactly the right mix so they were going to get a good harvest for the national economy. Now, um, these guys were pretty
• 08:00 - 08:30 sophisticated at what they did. And one day, Pharaoh had a dream and he actually had two dreams. And you see you see it up on the up on the screen there. This is when when Joseph describes the dream. But Pharaoh had a dream. And in the first dream, there were seven really well-fed cows, okay? And they came up out of the Nile and they were grazing. And then seven plant-based diets, sorry. Um, seven skinny cows walked up out of the Nile
• 08:30 - 09:00 and they ate the fat cows and the skinny cows were still skinny. And in the next dream, Pharaoh sees seven well-fed um, ears of corn. And next to them uh, come up to seven like skinny ears of corn. And the seven skinny ears of corn, eats the well-fed ears of corn, and the skinny ears of corn are still skinny. And Pharaoh knows these dreams are related, but I don't know what the meaning is. And he asks his wise men. And the wise men, like the wise men of Babylon 3,000 years later, they don't
• 09:00 - 09:30 know or they don't want to know the interpretation of this dream. They suspect it's not good news, but they don't want to be the bearer of bad news to the to the king because the expression don't shoot the messenger is based on real historical facts. Remember the story of Nehemiah. Nehemiah chapter 1, Nehemiah goes in to see the king who's artiser in in Persia. And the king says, "Nehemiah, why is your face looking sad?" Because you couldn't appear before the king with a sad face because they
• 09:30 - 10:00 might be executed. You had to come with a smile before the king. That was why when when when Joab and his army killed Abselum and he says, "Who's going to go and tell the king?" And Asahel, one of his nephews, said, "I'm going to go and tell the king." And as Job says, "No." He says, "There's an Ethiopian soldier over there. The king doesn't care about him. Let him run and tell the news to David cuz he may get executed and not you." Remember that story. Okay. So, the idea like don't shoot the messenger has a long and bloody history to that
• 10:00 - 10:30 particular idiom in the in the English language. So, uh what happens is Pharaoh, he knows he's had a dream. He knows it's important. The wise men don't appear able to tell him the dream until finally the cup bearer he remembers. He says, "Hang He said, "When I was in prison, there was a young slave boy, a Hebrew boy, and he interpreted my dream that I was going to be restored in 3 days to the palace, and I was." And he also interpreted the baker's dream that that the baker would have his head his head chopped off in 3 days. And lo and
• 10:30 - 11:00 behold, he would lost his head. And so, he can interpret dreams. And so, Joseph was hurried from the palace straight to the king. And on the way, they had to shave him. The text is clear. They had to shave Joseph because the Egyptians did not like facial hair. In fact, the Egyptians shaved off all their bodily hair and those like hieroglyphous pictures of the Egyptians where they have like these these wigs on. The Egyptians were basically bald and they would then they would they create artificial wigs they put on their heads. Uh so Joseph was summoned to the palace and the king uh Pharaoh explains his
• 11:00 - 11:30 dream and Pharaoh gives the interpretation and Joseph gives the interpretation and what he says is there on the screen. He says, "Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, Pharaoh's dreams are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. The seven good cows for seven years and the seven good ears for seven years. The dreams are one. The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years as are the seven empty years blighted by the east wind. They are seven years of famine. Uh it is as I
• 11:30 - 12:00 told Pharaoh. God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do. There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt and then there will arise seven years of famine and all plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt and the famine will consume the land. So today our economists they try and project maybe for the next quarter and here is Joseph giving an economic forecast for 14 years and he's just described what's
• 12:00 - 12:30 going to happen to the Egyptian economy for 14 years. If Joseph was alive today, he'd be the most well- paid commentator on the news because, you know, CNN and Fox Business and Squawkbox, all the rest of it, they can maybe project into the next quarter, maybe. But most of it's kind of educated guesswork. And Joseph says there's going to be seven years of agricultural plenty. That means I'm telling you what the water and the and the tabidity of the water is going to be like. There's going to be seven good
• 12:30 - 13:00 years. And then for the seven years after that, the water is going to be low. There's not much soil in it. This is an amazing forecast by Joseph. And the king is duly impressed. And recognizing that in Joseph was the spirit of God, Pharaoh appointed Joseph as the ruler over all of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh himself. And so, Joseph's job was to prepare for the incoming famine. He set about building huge storehouses and granaries nationwide. And he also implemented the
• 13:00 - 13:30 first income tax. It says there the plenty will be will be no longer will no longer be known in the land because of the famine that will follow for it will be very grievious. And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the thing is fixed by God and God will shortly bring it about. Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a man who is discerning and wise and sets him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land, and take 1/5if of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven
• 13:30 - 14:00 plenteous years. Let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and lay up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. That food shall be reserved for the land against the seven years of famine that are befall the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine. So this is one of the first recorded income taxes in history, a straight 20% income tax on all production in the land of Egypt. And uh so fair Joseph proposed it
• 14:00 - 14:30 for seven years. While we have seven years of plenty, we're going to have an income tax of 20%. And that income tax will allow us to save enough grain so that we can survive through the seven years of famine that are coming thereafter. So what happened? And the text tells us, "The seven years of plenty that prevailed in the land of Egypt came to an end just as Joseph had prophesied." And when he interpreted the dream, then it says, "And the seven years of famine began to come just as Joseph has said. There was
• 14:30 - 15:00 famine in every country, but throughout the land of Egypt there was bread." And so, uh, Pharaoh sees that the seven years of plenty have come, but everybody knows in those seven years of plenty that we're going to have seven years of famine. So everybody's storing as much wealth as they can in terms of food. You know, they're prepping basically. Uh they're they're, you know, canning and prepping and dry cleaning. Dry cleaning, no um freeze drying, all the rest of it. They're laying up food. They're laying
• 15:00 - 15:30 up food in their in their garden cellers, all the rest of it because they know that hard times are coming. So, I I'm not necessarily a prepper, but um anyway, there's some good advice in these stories. When you know that hard times are coming, lay up for the future. I think it's the Mormons require everybody to have a year's worth of canned foods in each home because the make it an article their faith because
• 15:30 - 16:00 they know that hard times are eventually going to come and it's best to be prepared. So the hard times come and then we get the first great reset in world economic history. The story says this in Genesis 47:43-14. Now there was no food in all the land for the famine was very severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. Joseph collected all the money to be found in
• 16:00 - 16:30 the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. So the first stage of the impoverishment of the Egyptian people was if you want food, you got to hand over all your money. And everybody handed over all their money in the first year. They managed to buy their own food from the reserves that they had set aside. Is this the rain falling? Oh, praise the Lord. It'll cool down. Yes,
• 16:30 - 17:00 it's kind of hot in here today. So, I'm grateful for the um for the rain to cool us down. Coming from Michigan, we have a different sense of what is hot and what is cold. All right. So, the first stage of the great reset is that everybody has to hand over all their money. The next stage of the great reset is in the next verse. says, "When the money from the land of Egypt and from the land of Canaan was spent, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food. Why
• 17:00 - 17:30 should we die before our eyes? For our money is gone." And Joseph answered, "Give me your livestock, and I'll give you food in exchange for your livestock if your money is gone." So they brought their livestock to Josh Joseph. And Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. That year, he supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock. Can you still hear me out there? Yes. Okay. So, uh, in the first
• 17:30 - 18:00 year, everybody hands over their money. And in the second year, Joseph says, "Now, I want all your animals because you can't pay with money. Now, I'm going to take your animals." Now, um, what does mean? He asks for horses. the flocks, the herds and the donkeys. Now, um in ancient in ancient um Egypt, there is no record of horses before the 15th dynasty. And then in the 15th dynasty, Egypt was ruled by what we now call the
• 18:00 - 18:30 Hixos rulers. They were a people who came in from modern day Palestine. And um that was the first time that there are recorded horses in the Egyptian state. And Joseph went behind a horsedrawn chariot. And eventually the Hixoffs were driven out by the 16th dynasty and uh after that you get Moses and his story. So the clue in the story here is why why don't we have the story of Joseph in the Egyptian records is
• 18:30 - 19:00 because the text says that there were horses and the Egyptians with hindsight hated the Hixos invaders and they they they erased all the history. They pretended it never happened. And so when the text says that Joseph gave him food in exchange for horses, we know that the first horses were in the time of the Hixos invaders and it's a clue to the dating of this story here. Okay. But in this story, Mos Jud Joseph takes their horses, their flocks, their herds, and their donkeys. So what does that mean?
• 19:00 - 19:30 In in an agricultural society, if you take people's sheep and cattle and goats and and uh and so forth, you're basically stripping them of their basic means of production. Yes. So, he's taken their money now. He's taken their donkeys, which is their Ford F-150s. He's taken their horses. He's taking that which hauls their stuff to market. Um that's that, you know, one horsepower, two horsepower carts they had back then. and is also taking their
• 19:30 - 20:00 animals. So he is systematically reducing them to poverty in exchange for food. The next text says this, "When that year was ended, they came to him the following year and said to him, we cannot hide from my lord that our money is all spent and the herds of cattle are my lords. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands. Shall we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food." So now
• 20:00 - 20:30 they're offering themselves as slaves in order to get food. Says, "We with our land will become slaves to Pharaoh. Just give us seed so that we may live and not die and that the land may not become desolate." So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. All the Egyptians sold their fields because the famine was severe upon them and the land became Pharaohs. As for the people, he made slaves of them from one end of Egypt to the other. So this is the first economic
• 20:30 - 21:00 great reset that we have in history. There's an economic catastrophe. Um the economy has collapsed. There's no jobs and everybody wants their social security from the government. And the government says, "Well, hand over all your money." Then the government says, "Hand over all your vehicles. Hand over all your means of production. Hand over all your businesses. You want anything that produces economic value that's going to be owned by the state." And finally, in this stage, they say, "Give us our land." So, we're just going to become tenants on our own property. Now, you can have our houses and you can have
• 21:00 - 21:30 our bodies. We're selling you into slavery so that we know we will we will no longer own anything, but we will still be alive because we have food. And somebody's already mouthing to me the modern slogan that goes with this. You will own nothing and you will be happy, which is the great reset. uh that Claus Schwab that um delightful head of the World Economic Forum, they always seem to choose men who look like Bond villains and the latest uh chair of the World Economic Forum with his bloodshot
• 21:30 - 22:00 left eye and so forth. He looks like a figure from a nightmare movie, but I he's he was the head of a Swiss Swiss uh Nestle chocolate giant and he said that people do not have a right to clean water. Well, you know, if that's the attitude of the the head of the World Economic Forum, we're in for trouble. Anyway, the point about this is is that um Pharaoh had there was now a great reset in Egyptian society. The people in three years went from owning their own
• 22:00 - 22:30 land, owning their own cattle, owning their own horses and donkeys, able to pl their own lives within three years of economic catastrophe. They no longer own. Their money has gone, their animals have gone, their herds have gone, their flocks have gone, their donkeys have gone, their horses have gone, their cars are gone, their property has gone, and they are now sold into slavery. And as the World Economic Forum would say, you will own nothing, and you will be happy. They were happy because they had food. They were grateful just to have
• 22:30 - 23:00 food. Now in those days, like today, they also had the deep state. says, "Only the land of the priests Joseph did not buy. For the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land." Now, when Joseph became the prime minister, the Pharaoh gave him a young lady as his wife, and she was the daughter of an Egyptian priest. So, Joseph was married into the priestly
• 23:00 - 23:30 families of Egypt. And the priests were extremely powerful because they could project the future with the flows of the Nile, but they also um were very adept at the occultic arts. And so the pharaohs kind of treated the priests with a certain amount of respect. They weren't going to mess with the priests. And you know when when Moses came before Pharaoh and you know he turned the Nile into water, Pharaoh looked at the wise men and they said, "We can do that." And they turned water into blood. Do you
• 23:30 - 24:00 remember that story? And when Moses threw down his rod on the ground, if the wise men said, "We can do that." They threw their rods down and they became serpents as well. So the Pharaohs had a lot of respect for the priests. The priests had a lot of power. They were, you might say, the deep state of of Egypt at the time. And Joseph was married into the priestly class. And if he was going to tax the priestly class of all their land, he'd have to give up his own family land as well. So he excluded them. Uh this is known as pork in modern day uh economics. Congs of
• 24:00 - 24:30 bill, acts of uh Congress. Yes, there are carveouts and cutouts for special interests. Nothing is new. You follow me on this? Then Joseph said to this pe to the people, "Now that I have this day bought you in your land for Pharaoh, here is seed for you. Sew the land." Now the harvest you shall give one fifth to Pharaoh and four fifths shall be your own seed for the field. and as a food
• 24:30 - 25:00 for yourselves and your household and as food for your little ones. They said, "You have saved our lives. May it please, my lord, we will be slaves to Pharaoh or we will owe nothing. We will be happy." So, so Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt. And it stands to this day that the Pharaoh should have the fifth. The land of the priests alone did not become pharaohs. It's interesting um that fair Joseph imposed a 20% tax during the seven years of plenty, but then that was
• 25:00 - 25:30 just to save up um foods that could get through the the seven years of famine. But as soon as they were in the famine, um Joseph extended that 20 that one 20% tax for perpetuity. And this is how taxes work in most civilizations. Governments bring in taxes as emergency measures and then they last forever. And when government says like when I was growing up in England um when the government puts like a pre-fabricated building in as your classroom they said this is only a temporary provision you
• 25:30 - 26:00 knew it was there until Jesus came right these temporary things done by government are never temporary and mo Joseph does the same thing here this temporary seven years of tax of 20% of the land 1/5 goes to Pharaoh as soon as the seven years of crisis it he extends it indefinitely So, Joseph is very similar to modern day politicians in this story here. This is the first great reset. Now, it says there was a famine in the
• 26:00 - 26:30 land. The story goes on, besides the form of famine that occurred in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gera to King Aim of the Philistines, the Lord appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land that I shall show you. reside in the land as an alien and I'll be with you and will bless you for to you and to your descendants I'll give all these lands and I will fulfill the oath that I swore to your father Abraham. So what happened here was that previously there had been a famine in the land and Isaac had wanted to go down
• 26:30 - 27:00 to Egypt to buy food and God had appeared to him in dream and said don't go down to Egypt and buy food. You don't need to go down there. You need to stay in the country living of modern day Israel or Palestine as Romans would call it. You need to stay in Palestine in your country life raising your flocks and herds in the countryside but do not take your family down to Egypt. Egypt was the economic hub of the ancient world. There was economic opportunities for Isaac and his family.
• 27:00 - 27:30 There was luxury waiting for them in Egypt. There was food of plenty. They had all kind of food down in Egypt. But God said to Isaac before the story of Joseph, before the story of Jacob, when there was a previous family says, "Don't take your family down to those cities of Egypt. Stay in the country. Stay with your country living." Um, when the famine struck with Jacob, Jacob, you read the story of Jacob and Joseph, every time that Jacob needed to buy grain, he paid for it with silver, but he also paid for it with food. He had
• 27:30 - 28:00 his own um olives and and honey and stuff that he was paying for it with. So we find in this story here that um Jacob and Isaac managed to keep their families intact during the first great reset by staying away from the major cities of the ancient world and living in the countryside. They were able to provide for themselves by and large. And even when they when Jacob wanted to buy food, he sent down gifts of food to Pharaoh at the same time. So he still had his own
• 28:00 - 28:30 local production up there in in Canaan. So knowing that seven years of famine and economic hardship were coming, Jacob would have known because you know they were on the main trade route. They would have known that there was seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. The whole ancient world knew about what was happening in Egypt. And um Jacob did not move his family down to Canaan to survive the seven years of famine. He chose to stay in country living away from the problems and that's where he
• 28:30 - 29:00 and his family survived. And Jacob and his family were not sold into slavery during the seven years of famine. They did not lose their land. They did not lose their crops. They did not lose anything. And if you want a warning about where how we are to live, we are to be living in ways that are as self-sufficient as possible. If you're living in a small, you know, 500 square foot apartment in Manhattan and you have one days of food in your refrigerator, you're in trouble if the supply chain goes down.
• 29:00 - 29:30 In this story here, Jacob stayed away from the economic opportunities, from the promise of free food. He stayed away from the moral temptations and economic flesh pots of Egypt. And he's he lived in the countryside and that's what enabled him to survive that first great reset. So that was the first great reset. We sometimes think about these stories in the Bible like Joseph. I mean, Joseph was incredible guy, but what he did to
• 29:30 - 30:00 the people of Egypt had catastrophic consequences for for another two or 2,000 years because all the way through to Cleopatra, they were still owned by the Pharaoh. The people were slaves for hundreds and hundreds of years because of what Joseph did. That brings us to the second great reset, something that we're actually living through today. Just as the ruling class of Egypt, the priests and the pharaohs, they were acutely aware that there were going to be seven good years, then there were
• 30:00 - 30:30 going to be seven years of economic catastrophe. So today, our political and economic and global banking elites are acutely aware of the fact that a second great reset is coming and there's nothing we can do to change that. And if you don't believe me, there's a picture early this week of the national debt clock. Has all kinds of figures on it. um you know how much it costs to buy some eggs, how many people are unemployed, etc., etc. But you look in the top left there, the US national debt
• 30:30 - 31:00 earlier this early this week was officially 36.7 trillion. $ 36.7 trillion. We're adding1 trillion every 3 months to the national debt right now. This is this is beyond our worst nightmares. Any everybody can watch the debt clock online and it rises regardless of who controls Congress or the White House. Now the official debt
• 31:00 - 31:30 may stand at 37 trillion but that figure does not include legally binding liabilities such as Medicare, Social Security, medical pensions etc. The real figure is almost $200 trillion and we simply have no way to cover our debts. Basically, we are printing money to pay off today's debts. And when we print money, we're creating more debt for tomorrow. This is a long-term problem. It wasn't caused by Obama or Biden or Trump. This is caused by 50 years of
• 31:30 - 32:00 Congress living beyond its means. And the chickens are coming home to roost whether we like it or not. And it's happening in front of our eyes right now. This is a long-term problem. the national debt in the United States. Now, there are two ways you can pay off the national debt. You can have a hard default, which means tell your creditors you simply won't pay them back, but that will lead to economic catastrophe, a collapse of confidence in the entire banking system. So, our politicians are opting for the only
• 32:00 - 32:30 other option available, which is a soft default. In a soft default, you allow inflation to rise because when inflation rises, it erodess the real value of the national debt. So, let's put this in real terms here. If you had $1,000 in the bank in January 2020 and you could buy a,000 Oh, I don't know. Somebody gave me one of these today. If you could buy a thousand of these on
• 32:30 - 33:00 January the 1st, 2020 with $1,000 because of the inflation the last four years, we've lost about 25% of the purchasing power of our dollar cumulative. So in 2025, that $1,000 can now buy 750 of these as opposed to a,000. And if your wage hasn't changed, it means you've just been devalued by 25% in the economic system in which we live. And most people's wages haven't gone up 25% in the last four years. So
• 33:00 - 33:30 what that means is that you as a person are now worth less to the economic system. You've been devalued. Your savings, we're told it's good to save. Well, when you're saving and inflation is running anywhere from 5 to 10%, your inflation, the inflation is eating away the purchasing power of your dollars. It means those on fixed incomes are being ground into poverty year after year after year. This is a simple economic reality. You can't avoid the
• 33:30 - 34:00 math. It doesn't m matter whether Trump or Biden or Obama is in control. This is a long-term problem that's coming to maturity this year. There are various reasons why it's happening this year. When they talk about going to Fort Knox and revaluing the gold, what they're not talking so much about is gold revaluation, but a gold revaluation is effectively a dollar and a debt devaluation. That's what they're talking about, the economic reality. So in the last four years, we
• 34:00 - 34:30 confiscated over $300 billion of US treasuries owned by Russia during the Ukraine conflict. US treasuries have been the bedrock of the global financial system since we came off the gold standard in 1971. When what is US Treasury? When the government sells debt, when they say we need to raise a trillion dollar for for our national budget, they sell US treasuries. Those are bonds. It's called the bond market. And people buy US treasuries. They give the US government that trillion dollars. Then they get a
• 34:30 - 35:00 promisory note from the government. It's called the US Treasury. It used to be paper. Now it's just ones and zeros on a hard drive somewhere. And that US Treasury promises that in 10 years time, the US government will pay back that money plus four or 5%. But with inflation running at 3 to 6% right now, somewhere in between, if you put a million dollars into a US treasury, you're guaranteed to lose over 30% of that money in purchasing power when it matures in 10 years time. So the net effect is nobody wants to buy US treasuries anymore because it's a
• 35:00 - 35:30 guaranteed way to lose money. And that's been the bedrock of the global financial system. Governments around the world trade US treasuries as collateral. um if if if uh Nigeria wants to pay for Saudi Arabian oil, they'll just hand over some treasuries cuz that's that's the the bedrock, the best that's the tier one asset in the global financial system. So, but when we confiscated $300 billion of treasuries owned by Russia in 2022, uh, and when we weaponized the Swift
• 35:30 - 36:00 financial system, now some of you may not be involved with Swift, but with AFM, when I was with them, um, whenever you make a wire transfer overseas, it always goes through the Swift transfer system. It's controlled by America and the Brits. And it was set up just after World War II. And even during the cold war, nobody interfered with the Swift system. And the whole world has been transferring money globally using Swift. But in 2022, for the first time
• 36:00 - 36:30 in the last 70 years, we weaponized it and we excluded Russia from access to the Swift system and we confiscated their US treasuries. And what did the rest of the world do? They said, "We're not living in 1950 anymore. The BRICS nations have built an entirely separate global transfer system um called em uh embbridge. So now the other countries world can transfer money without going through the US and uh they are developing their own goldbacked currency for their own trade. So they don't need the dollar anymore. What is the net effect of
• 36:30 - 37:00 this? The net effect of this is that the US Treasury market is in deep trouble. That means if the government wants to raise money to pay off its debts, who's going to buy that debt? China, Japan, and Britain are the three largest buyers of debt. And with the tariffs in place right now, China, Japan, and Britain have said no more US Treasury buying. So, we've lost the biggest buyers of our debt. And this year, by June, over $6 trillion comes due. We have to refinance
• 37:00 - 37:30 of debt. And when we took out that debt, the interest rates were 0%. And now the interest rates are 4 and a half to 5% for the treasury depths. So our debt suddenly becomes much more expensive. Now this is kind of a lot of economic stuff I'm talking about here. The bottom line is this is that um when the when you have a debt crisis when nobody buys your debt your interest rates have to soar very very high to attract buyers and your currency
• 37:30 - 38:00 falls dramatically overnight. So there's from the Federal Reserve itself, there's a chart of our debt going up to 2020. It's an inexraable rise. There's nothing we can do to stop the rise of the debt. What's happened simultaneously over that period of time is this is how money has functioned in America. So on the far left in 1913, the gold column um money was entirely backed by gold. You could turn your dollars into gold. It was goldbacked. if you had a dollar that was
• 38:00 - 38:30 worth um 42 cents. Let's say the the Congress established the exchange rate for $1 for 1 ounce of gold. And you knew that if you went to a a bank and said, "I want money. I want gold for this dollar," they would give you gold. And so, uh but then in 1913, the Federal Reserve Act was passed. And we started moving to cash as opposed to goldback currencies. So by 1933 with the executive order 6102 and the confiscation of gold um during the the the great depression cash grows to 25%
• 38:30 - 39:00 of the US money supply gold drops to 75% in 1944 end of world as world war II is coming to an end there was what is called the Bretton Woods agreement which is the post world war II economic and banking system where America is the heart of the world economic system and we become the reserve currency of the world as opposed to the pound sterling cash is now 60% of our of our wealth and 40% is gold. 1971 we come off the gold standard with with Nixon right here. Now
• 39:00 - 39:30 we're starting to get digital entries. Then there's cash and gold is down to 10%. And today most of your money is digital. Almost nobody has any gold and cash is at a bare minimum. Hardly anybody has cash. Almost nobody has gold and everything is digital. And we have the illusion of ownership. And our wealth is nothing more than an illusion. In reality, we probably own nothing. You may think, "Oh yeah, my
• 39:30 - 40:00 bank account." When you deposit money in the bank, you no longer own that money. You are lending their money to the bank and you are an unsecured creditor after Obama's banking reforms after the 2008 banking crisis. So if that bank goes bankrupt now, they have not a bailout but a bailin. They can take your deposits to bail out the bank and there's nothing we can do about it. So when you put money in the bank, you're effectively giving it to the bank and
• 40:00 - 40:30 saying if anything goes wrong with your banking system, you're going to take my money. That's an act of Congress passed after the 2008 financial crisis and I may get, you know, pennies on the dollar back if I'm lucky. when you think you own property or let's say your retirement fund your 401k your 401k um exists in the stock market for most people and when it's in the stock market you don't own anything in the stock market over 90% of US securities are
• 40:30 - 41:00 owned by the depository trust company or publicly trained publicly trained publicly traded um shares and so when you when you buy shares in a mutual fund you are the bottom of the pecking fire pecking list. So if anything goes wrong in the stock market and if there's a crash or bankruptcies, there are banks and financial institutions have prior claim on your assets long before you get to it yourself. So that's why we talk about the we have the illusion of wealth. If you don't hold it, you don't
• 41:00 - 41:30 own it. It's the bottom line here. So we're looking at a great reset. You see on this chart here and this chart is a very interesting chart. You see red is is workers compensation and yellow is productivity in the US economy. And workers compensation and productivity rose from the end of World War II up until coming off the gold standard with Nixon in 1971. They were
• 41:30 - 42:00 parallel to each other. That meant in the 1940s,50s and60s you could raise a family on one income. One income would pay for a house and raise a family in a car. That was what happened in America. And then we came off the gold standard and what happened was compensation stagnated for workers but productivity continued to rise and that gap here instead of that pro that all that profit instead of going to the workers that went to the corporations of
• 42:00 - 42:30 America. So now the top 1% of American society owns more than 50% of all US assets. So the economic system is kind of breaking. What this tells you here is that from 1971 onwards to now, you can't raise a family on one regular income. We all know that to be true. Now you have to have two people working full-time and maybe a part-time job on top of that just to make ends meet. And we're all living paycheck to paycheck
• 42:30 - 43:00 because coming off the gold standard and the devaluation of the money, the dollar that you get paid with, the loss of purchasing power means that the profits are no longer going to the people, they're going to the corporations now. So what we are facing is a debt doom loop with national debt. So right now we need to issue more debt because we got government spending out of control. So we need to issue more government bonds this year. More government bonds means there's less demand because there's not an infinite
• 43:00 - 43:30 demand for that supply. And so in order to do that, you have to have higher interest rates to attract the demand. Higher interest rates means you've got more debt to pay every month on the national debt. You're in a vicious circle. This is a debt doom loop and America is entering our debt is now so large we're entering the national the debt doom loop whereby servicing the debt becomes the biggest item of the federal budget and it's already there right now. So every time interest rates go up, the amount of money we pay servicing the debt goes up as
• 43:30 - 44:00 well. And this leads to a great reset. So the debt loop consequences are that quantitative easing, if we can't find enough buyers to buy our debt this summer, that the Federal Reserve will have to step in and maybe buy 2 to6 trillion worth of debt. They'll just create that money out of thin air. When you create $6 trillion out of thin air, all your dollars in your bank account get devalued at the same time. So the quantitative easing will be
• 44:00 - 44:30 used by the Federal Reserve to buy US treasuries. That leads to a systematic devaluation of the purchasing power and exchange rate value of the US dollar. That leads to increased money supply fuels more price inflation for everyday consumers. Higher inflation erodess the real value of the national debt. That's what the government wants is to decrease the per the real value of the debt. But higher inflation.5 can only be fought by reducing the money supply which they don't want to do or by increasing interest rates. But al that also
• 44:30 - 45:00 increases the national debt payments. Either way your savings, your wages and your pension are going to lose real value and we all face systematic impoverishment. My wife says I have a unique ability to cheer people up. So I hope that you are suitably cheered this afternoon. I'm not sugarcoating anything but we are the debt is now so large that something has to give. Here's a Russian waz jeep. I want to give you an example of what happens when your currency drops overnight. Uh
• 45:00 - 45:30 back in 96 I was in Aabahan and we wanted to buy one Waz Jeep. And at the time it was worth $12,000 to buy one W Jeep. And uh it's actually a nice off-road vehicle. It has actually relatively low center of gravity. It can go up steep hills better than most Western cars. Most of our SUVs got high centers of gravity. So it's a low center of gravity and it's easy to fix. As long as you have a hammer and some twine, you can fix most things on these cars. And
• 45:30 - 46:00 we wanted to buy one of these for $12,000. And then overnight, the Russian ruble collapsed from six to a dollar to 21 to a dollar and then to 60 to the dollar all in the space of a few weeks. And we've never had a dollar collapse in American history. But when you're living in another country and their do their their currency collapses against the dollar, there's instant overnight changes, dramatic changes. So I wanted to buy six of the
• 46:00 - 46:30 one of these for $12,000. Then the dollar the ruble collapsed because they couldn't find buyers for the debt for the Russian government and we went from six to 60 rubles to the dollar. And I realized, hang on, they're still pricing these vehicles in rubles. So now I can get six W jeeps for $12,000 as opposed to one W jeep. So what do you think I did? I went and bought six W jeeps. Now why would I buy six swaz jeeps? I'll tell you why you buy six waz Jeeps. Cuz when this when the Soviet
• 46:30 - 47:00 Union existed, the quality of vehicles was so bad that nobody wanted a brand new vehicle. Because when the vehicle came off the production line, it didn't work. You wanted to buy a vehicle that was 6 months old cuz the owner had had time to make sure the engine actually worked. Some of you nodding your head there, brother. Yes. And so I bought six of these Waz Jeeps cuz I needed three for spare parts and three to run. Okay. And we had some adventures in those those trucks. and um uh the young
• 47:00 - 47:30 man who was sitting there with my son sitting at the back there, Marty Phillips there. I drove with his dad through through Georgia and Turkey down to uh Georgia, Armenian Turkey going down to Aabaijan and we were being followed uh some might say chased by Georgian police officer and I was at the last of this long row of six waz jeeps and we were going 35 miles hour down to this mountain gorge the Turkish border and there was this Georgian police car following with his light with his sirens going and this little Georgian police
• 47:30 - 48:00 officer hanging out the window waving a shotgun around and I was looking in my rearview mirror thinking I wonder what he wants. and he didn't say anything in English. So, I just pretended maybe he doesn't want to talk to me. So, I carried on driving for many miles. And when we got to the border, this Georgian police officer was very upset with me apparently because I've been speeding. I was doing 35 mph or so. And he was yelling at me and shouting at me and he communicated very well across the language barrier. And um as we were driving there, a young man in the back
• 48:00 - 48:30 there, his father and I were chatting and he said, "Look in your wallet. What do you have?" I looked at my wallet and I had a at a New Bold College library card and he had a library card from the Advent University of Riverplat in Argentina. And so we knew what was going to happen. They were going to he was going to demand our driver's license. So we stopped and he shouted and yelled at us and we kind of it's always best to play dumb, you know. And finally he he asked for our driver's license and so we made a big song and dance about we don't want to give it. We don't want to give it. But eventually I reached into my wallet and handed over
• 48:30 - 49:00 my new college library card. And my friend handed over his river plaque a university from Argentina library card. And the man said, "Come back to my office 30 miles back there tomorrow and you can get your library card." We knew he just wanted a bribe and he'd let us go. We weren't going to pay the bribe. This is all a game of bluff. And so we said, "Okay, we'll come back tomorrow and get our driver's licenses. We can't go anywhere without our driver's licenses." And so um I gave him my name. I think my name was Mikail Misha. That's Michael Mouse. Address Sunset Hol Sunset
• 49:00 - 49:30 Boulevard, Collwood. And another time I was Charles Windsor, address Buckingham Palace. And and so um anyway, uh the guy drove off with my library card for New Bald and we nipped over the border into Turkey and we're on our way. Anyway, the point about the story is that when the currency collapses, like in Russia, when they went from six to 60 rubles overnight, you couldn't buy anything in the shops cuz nobody had the money to buy. The banks couldn't didn't have
• 49:30 - 50:00 enough rubles. So, if you went to the bank with 100 rubles today, they'd give tomorrow when before the crisis, they'd give you back um $100 to give you back 600 rubles. But now it goes from $100, six rubles to a dollar to 60 to a dollar. Now you're looking at 6,000 rubles for every $100 that you're handing. They just don't have enough dollars. So you rubles. So you end up with the banks running out of money by 10 every morning. And uh just to put into perspective, if we went through the same thing today, let's say a new Prius
• 50:00 - 50:30 costs $35,000 today, brand new. If we went through the same thing, a new Prius would be over $200,000 tomorrow. What would happen to the diet demand for new Priuses? Right. and the whole economic activity just stops when there's a banking when there's a debt crisis and a currency crisis. So we are looking right now at a great reset of similar proportions to what happened in Joseph's
• 50:30 - 51:00 Egypt. Inflation is a de facto federal policy. The government is happy to run inflation at 3, four, 5%. Because it's a de facto tax on the people and it and it is a soft default on the national debt. And so this year we have a bond crisis. If you follow the bond market, as you should, you should be following the bond market. That's what happens to US treasuries. You will know that the government is struggling to sell its debt. People don't want our debt anymore
• 51:00 - 51:30 because we know that inflation will just eat away the value of those treasuries. And governments around the world are investing in the only tier one asset out there, which is gold. And so the governments in the world today know that our fiat monetary system is dying in front of our eyes. We are facing a global reset, whether we like it or not. The purchasing power of the pound, the peso, the yen, the euro, the durham, and the dollar is dying in front of our eyes. And if you don't believe me, does your wages go further now than they did four years ago? No, far less. So
• 51:30 - 52:00 governments around the world are switching to the new form of monetary system which is digital currencies or centralbacked digital currencies. And so we have the the digital euro is going to be rolled out by this October. They announced a few weeks ago in Europe. Um the British pound, they're going to call it Brit pound. They're rolling out a digital pound to Britain to replace sterling. And President Biden issued an executive order. You can read about it there. and that the executive order was
• 52:00 - 52:30 issued when he was president um to instruct the treasury and departments of justice to develop the mechanisms so we can roll out a digital US dollar as well and they already have got the first stage rolled out. It's called Fed Now. Have you heard of the Fed now system? There the infrastructure is being prepared. Trump said he's not going to do it but the infrastructure is being prepared all around us. So they just need to flip a switch when they need to do it. And when you have a digital currency, you will own nothing and you will be happy. You will be a slave of
• 52:30 - 53:00 the system. You cannot have savings outside of the system if you're in the digital currency. Why? Because the digital currency is controlled by the government. The government can say you can have only certain limits on your savings in your bank account. So if in Europe it takes €4,000 to provide for a family for a month, the government can say you can only save up to €3,000 maximum, digital euros in the new system. And if you can only save 3 weeks worth of money in your account at all in your overall savings, that means you are
• 53:00 - 53:30 a slave to the system. You have to keep working. If the government wants to tax you, it just takes a 10% tax off your digital currency. When I was in Cyprus in 2006, the government took 10% out of everybody's accounts overnight from the euro system. And we all woke up and said, "Where's our money gone?" The government just took it. Nothing anybody can do about it. So these things happen in real life. they've happened in Europe and uh they're happening um in other parts of the world there the manipulation of digital currencies. So we are facing a digital
• 53:30 - 54:00 reset whether we like it or not it's coming our way in Europe some of the proposals are awful. They're proposing that you can only spend your euros within a certain distance from your home that force that stops you from traveling that cuts carbon emissions. You can't fly anywhere. Every time I fly on United or American, it says on the ticket, this flight has produced so many tons of carbon dioxide per passenger. At the moment, they're monitoring it and
• 54:00 - 54:30 they're measuring it, but that which they monitor and they measure, they will soon control. They'll put a carbon limit on what you can travel on a on an annual basis. So when these digital currencies come about, governments can program how you use your money to prevent you from using it from socially undesirable items. For instance, they may buy banan you from buying guns or ammunition if you're into the Second Amendment. They may ban you from buying literature like great controversy or last day events. It's worth investing now in literature
• 54:30 - 55:00 because when the internet is completely controlled and you can't spend your money on literature, you can still give out literature. is maybe one of the last ministries we will have. So I want to encourage you as Adventists to be buying as much literature as you can now and giving it out as much as possible. Give it out like the leaves of autumn because once that's on somebody's shelf, they can never take it away. Give out literature while you can. And so in the first great reset when Joe where Jacob chose to live in the country away from
• 55:00 - 55:30 the economic boom of the seven years of plenty and he saved his wealth in silver coins, that's what he paid for his food with. So today the banking systems of our world understand and for the last five years the central banks of the world have been buying gold in record quantities and if you follow the price of gold the go price of gold is the canary in the mine. The banks are buying as much gold as they can physically get because they know that when the great reset comes and the dollar is worth nothing what matters is how much gold you have. when Trump issued a tweet last
• 55:30 - 56:00 week that said, "The golden rule is this. Whoever can whoever owns the most gold makes the rules." Trump understands. And so it's no accident that since January to March this year, over 2,000 tons of gold went from London to America into the vaults of the Comx, New York, that Trump is reshoring our gold because he knows the dollar system is dying and there will be some kind of goldbacked system in the future, in our near future. So most American citizens don't pay attention to this, but if you don't have wealth independent of the
• 56:00 - 56:30 system, you will be enslaved like the Egyptians were. If you have wealth and are engaging in country living outside of the system, then you are better prepared to face what's coming our way. This is the great reset that we're facing. Gold and silver bullion has no counterparty risk. You own it. You hold it. If your bank fails or the dollar collapses or inflation erodess the dollar's purchasing power, you still have that bullion. It can be traded globally without fear of sanction by the US federal government and is accepted
• 56:30 - 57:00 globally as the ultimate sore of wealth across all civilizations. The big picture today is that we're in the midst of another great reset. One that will lead to economic enslavement for those who are not prepared. And that leads us and know the consequences on the screen there. The impact of the second great reset is that the working class has nothing to lose, so they're not so much worried about it. The middle class has everything to lose and the social elites have everything to gain. That's the net
• 57:00 - 57:30 effect of the of the current reset that's going on. So, if you consider yourselves middle class, you have everything to lose right now. If you're workingass and have got nothing to lose, you're not worried about digital currencies because you've got nothing to lose. And if you're in the social elites, if you're among the the um the owners like Facebook owners or Amazon owners of this world, you have nothing to fear because you will gain from this reset. So this is what's coming our way. The first reset was in was in Joseph's
• 57:30 - 58:00 Egypt. We're now living through the second reset right now. So I want to talk now about the third reset. And this is the most important reset of all. Before Jesus comes again, God is going to pour out his judgments upon the wicked, those known as the seven last plagues. Before that happens, there will be a persecuting endtime union of church and state led by the papacy, mandating false worship and persecuting up to the
• 58:00 - 58:30 point of death those who are true to God and his ten commandments. In that final crisis, the book of Revelation reveals in chapter 18 describes a global economic collapse that destroys both global trade and spiritual Babylon. And why does God bring judgment on spiritual Babylon? You find the clue in Revelation 18 verse 5 and 24. It says this is why God brings judgment on spiritual Babylon. says, "For her sins are heaped, high as heaven, and God has remembered
• 58:30 - 59:00 her iniquities, and in you was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slaughtered upon the earth." And so God sees the persecution of his saints, and he will bring judgments on the spiritual um powers of this world who are collaborating with the economic powers of this world to persecute the saints of God. God knows his own and one day he will bring justice to those who've lost their lives for him. That's good news. And Jesus spoke of the great reset
• 59:00 - 59:30 that we all need to go through in order to survive the final crisis and gain entry to the kingdom of God. Jesus put it this way in John 3:es 3 and verse 5. He says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the what?" God. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." And so the final great reset that is at a personal level over which you have
• 59:30 - 60:00 direct control even today is my need and our need to be born again in order that we might see the kingdom of God. I'm not interested in economic resets that that turn me into a slave where they tell me you will own nothing and you'll be happy. I'm interested in the great reset where one day I won't have to store gold much as I'd like to. One day I'll actually walk on streets of gold. You know, nobody stores tarmac in their homes these days. And we think gold is precious
• 60:00 - 60:30 today and gold and silver, but if if I'm going to walk on the streets of gold, then God has something much more valuable for us in heaven above. And that the the ultimate reset that really matters that matters for eternity is the need to be born again and the need to be born again on a daily basis. This spiritual re reset involves baptism by immersion. We find that in Romans 6. that symbolizes our death to our old way of life and a rising to newness of life in Jesus Christ and also the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And at a
• 60:30 - 61:00 at a corporate level as a body of Christians, the great reset involves a revival of what Sister White calls or primitive godliness among God's professing people. Sister White describes it this way. She says, "A revival of true godliness among us is the greatest and most urgent of our needs." She goes on to say, "There is nothing that Satan fears so much that the people of God shall clear the way by removing every hindrance so that the Lord can pour out his spirit upon a languishing church and an impenitent
• 61:00 - 61:30 congregation. If Satan had his way, there would never be another awakening, great or small, to the end of time." And so, what would I need? What we all need more than anything else is the great reset which is the spiritual reset on a daily basis. Otherwise known as the need to be born again on a daily basis. It's not just we don't believe as Adventists in once saved always saved. We believe in once saved and then daily saved. Affirming every morning my covenant relationship with my heavenly father asking every morning for the baptism of
• 61:30 - 62:00 the Holy Spirit. Lord, so fill me with your spirit that you wash away the works of the flesh and you bring into my life a beautiful harvest of the fruit of your spirit. And so this is the daily reset that each one of us needs in order to have the assurance that one day we will not store gold, but we will walk on those streets of gold. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says this, "If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I, that is God, will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin
• 62:00 - 62:30 and heal their land." And throughout salvation history, revival always comes in response to prayer. You cannot find any revival in salvation history that did not come in response to the saints gathering together for prayer. Whether it was bodies of students gathering to in in the middle ages or whether it's the great revival of the Wesian movement or northern India in the late 1800s um with the Anglicans or whatever revival movement you look at throughout all of salvation history. Revival start when
• 62:30 - 63:00 people get together and they pray and they forgive one another and they're reconciled with one another and they say, "Lord, may nothing come between you and us." And we as a people once receive your spirit, but we're not going to have any debts with one another. Our hands are open. Our hands are open to each other. Our hands are open for you. And we are pleading for the outpouring of your Holy Spirit. And if we want a revival in our churches, we need to be praying for that revival together. Making it a subject of prayer. Lord, as a church, we want that revival. The
• 63:00 - 63:30 final great reset comes when we are open to and seeking the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Sister White says, "A revival of true godliness among us is the greatest and most urgent of our needs." So if you come away from this day with one priority, it's a revival of true godliness in my family and in my heart and in my home. That's our that is my greatest need. That is our greatest need. She says we must have the holy uncction from God, the baptism of his spirit. For this is the only efficient agent in the promulgation of sacred
• 63:30 - 64:00 truth. It is the spirit of God that quickens or gives life to the lifeless faculties of the soul to appreciate heavenly things and attracts the affections towards God and the truth. And this great reset will be manifest in what we call the latter rain. She goes on to say great controversy. The work will be similar to that of the day of Pentecost. As the former rain was given in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the opening of the gospel that was at Pentecost to cause the upspring of the precious seed, so
• 64:00 - 64:30 the latter rain will be given that its closed for the ripening of the harvest. The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its beginning. That's an amazing statement that what we saw at Pentecost is going to happen again. And she goes on to say, "The prophecies which were fulfilled in the outpouring of the former reign at the opening of the gospel are again to be fulfilled in the latter's reign at its close. Servants of God with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from
• 64:30 - 65:00 heaven. By thousands of voices all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought. The sick will be healed. And signs and wonders will follow the believers. And I want to see that day. And if I want to see Jesus coming again, I'm going to have to live through this outpouring of the latter rain. And if I want to participate in the outpouring of the latter rain, I need to be born again on a daily basis. I need to be joining with my brothers and sisters in my district, in my home, in my church, and forgiving one another and seeking reconciliation and begging
• 65:00 - 65:30 God as a group, Lord, give us your Holy Spirit upon this congregation. That's the greatest reset we we we can participate in. We can't control what Congress or President Trump does, but we can control how we relate to our heavenly father. And God has promised, if we ask for the Holy Spirit, you shall receive. If you seek for the Holy Spirit, you will find. If you knock on the door, then the door of your heart will be open to the presence of the Holy Spirit. And so God's three-fold promise to us through Jesus there in the Gospel
• 65:30 - 66:00 of Luke is that God delights to give his Holy Spirit to those who ask. It is possible for us to experience maybe in a microcosm in our own in our own community, our own church, a taste of the latter rain. And when God pours out his spirit worldwide, we will be amazed at what God does. Sister White describes elsewhere, she says that when the latter rain is poured out, large parts of our human machinery will simply be swept aside by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That is, the large parts of our church structure will just be blown away because you can't put new wine into old
• 66:00 - 66:30 wine skins. And so when when the latter rain is poured out, something amazing is going to happen. But we can participate in that and we can we can have a foretaste of that today by begging the Lord in united prayer in our churches. Father, forgive us. May we forgive one another. May we be a place that is safe to bring new disciples of Jesus Christ where they will experience the love of God. And Lord, give us your Holy Spirit today because with your spirit, all things are possible. And without your spirit, we're just a bunch of people going through the motions.
• 66:30 - 67:00 This is something we can experience today. We have no control of these economic resets we've spoken about which will be catastrophic for many people. But if we participate in the spiritual reset, the need to be born again, we have the promise of eternal life and to see God work all around us. And that's the reset I want to be a part of. So how do we receive this baptism of the Holy Spirit? Well, just a couple of verses here and we draw to a conclusion. First is in Luke 11 9 through13. There it is
• 67:00 - 67:30 there. So I say to you, ask, it will be given you. Search and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened unto you. In this passage here, Jesus promises if we ask our heavenly father for the gift of the Holy Spirit, he will give you that Holy Spirit. So be asking the God for the Holy Spirit every day. I don't know how often you pray the Lord's Prayer, but really we should be praying the Lord's Prayer every single day. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses. How
• 67:30 - 68:00 often do you sin? Probably on a daily basis. And if I were to die with unconfessed sin, does that mean I'm lost or saved? I'll leave that in the hands of God. But I don't want to live with that thought. So I pray every day, "Father, forgive me for my sins as I forgive those that trespass against me." And so when we pray the Lord's prayer and we also ask for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that's the first way in which we can experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. The second thing we do is John 8:29. Jesus describing his own
• 68:00 - 68:30 ministry. He says, "And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him." So we not only ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis, we are seeking to do God's will on a daily basis. When you pray in the Lord's prayer, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, what portion of planet earth do I have any control
• 68:30 - 69:00 over? Just yeah, just the my own what's happening right here, my personal life. I may not have much control in my home, but at least what's going inside my head, what's going inside my heart. So when I pray thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven the only place where I can put that into practice is within these four walls here within this body within this mind within this heart as when you pray thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven saying Lord I want to do your will today in every way possible
• 69:00 - 69:30 I want your your kingdom your principles your commandments to reign supreme today in my life rather than my fallen desires my fallen inclinations So we ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. We're always seeking to the will of God, having an undivided heart, seeking on the glory and will of God, praying that God's will be done on earth as it is done in heaven means we're open to receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 119:25 says this, "My soul clings to the
• 69:30 - 70:00 dust. Revive me according to your word." And the word revive um to revivify is the same as the word to quicken in ancient English. It means to give life again. So when it says revive me according to your word, it means I'm spiritually dead, but when I read your word, you give me spiritual life once again. And so I ask I I ask for the for the I ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I seek every day to honor God's will, to give glory to God, that God might be glorified in my life and the
• 70:00 - 70:30 decisions I make. Thirdly, I'm reading the word of God every day because the word of God changes human lives. I'm speaking here about an active devotional life, a meaningful private walk with the Lord. Not you just come to church and then your Bible collects dust for the rest of the week. I'm talking about systematically reading through the Bible every single day. Okay? And if you're not sure where to start, I'd say on Jan January the 1st, start in Genesis 1. Figure out how many B pages are in
• 70:30 - 71:00 your Bible, divide it by 365. That's your Bible reading for the day. And every day I read four pages of my Bible. And every year I get through the set of the Bible every single year. Most years I finished by October. Then I've got no November and December to go over the Gospels the second time. Then you're back to Genesis again. You do it year after year after year after year. It's amazing what God does in your mind. And when you when you read the Bible like that, you get to know what God's will is without having to go searching for it. Particularly in the same way that having been married for 25 and a half years to my wife, if somebody asks me a question
• 71:00 - 71:30 about something in our, you know, she would like to come over to our house next Sabbath night, I know exactly what my wife is going to say before I even have to ask her. Is that right, gentlemen? Yes. No. All right. Well, my wife says, "Let's go to uh let's go out and eat for my for our wedding anniversary." I know it's Olive Garden she wants to go to. I don't need to ask her. After 25 years, it's Olive Garden. I know that. All right. And the same way when you walk with the Lord and you read
• 71:30 - 72:00 his word every day, when questions come your way your way at random through your life, you don't often don't need to go searching for a text. You already know what God's will is on that matter because you read it so often. And so having a familiarity with the word of God means that when questions come up, you know, okay, this is what God's will is in the matter without having to agonize over it. So ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Seek to glorify God in the decisions you make on a daily basis. Saturate your minds with the word of God. Acts 2:1 it says when the day of
• 72:00 - 72:30 Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. That is the Holy Spirit was given when those disciples were united in love for the lost. Their primary concern was not fixing the carpets in the church. It was bringing people into the body of Christ. And when we are united in our love for the lost and we have a burden for the the voiceless in our communities and we have a burden to bring all people into the kingdom of God, that's when the Holy Spirit knows
• 72:30 - 73:00 God knows he can pour his Holy Spirit about out upon that church. So when I was in pastoring, we set a faith goal. So let's say it's the year, I don't know, 2000. So we want 20 baptisms this year in a little church. That's our faith goal. We pray about it. We talk about it. We work for it. And God would always give us 20 baptisms, maybe a bit more. And you know what? We would do A, B, and C. But God never brought us baptisms from A, B, and C. He brought them from X, Y, and Z from left field. Why? He wanted to see that we
• 73:00 - 73:30 were working for souls, that we wanted to win souls, and that we're willing to grow our church. When you grow your church, it means the power dynamics change within your church. And many people don't want their churches to grow. Then the power dynamics change. If you've got a church of 50, there's three dominant families at least. And those dominant families are sat on the board for 20 years. And if the church grows to 100 next nominating committee time, those three dominant families don't have the same dominant position anymore. And they get upset with this. And so power
• 73:30 - 74:00 relationships change as the church grows. And so that's why many people would rather be a big fish in a small pond than a smaller fish in a much larger pond. And so when we unite in love for the lost and we sacrificially serve for the lost, my experience at Village Church was we saw the Holy Spirit poured out in a powerful way because that church was a mission machine. Everybody was involved in mission. And people just kept joining because they wanted to be part of something special, something bigger than themselves. They wanted to see God at work. And there's no better place to see
• 74:00 - 74:30 God at work than engaging in mission for the lost here in South Carolina or wherever it may be. And so ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Seek to honor and glorify God in every decision you make. Saturate your mind with the word of God. Unite in love for the lost. And when we are united in our desire to carry the gospel to the world, the Holy Spirit will be poured out. And Acts 18, be active in gospel witness. Jesus said this, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem
• 74:30 - 75:00 and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth." And so the Holy Spirit was promised uh particularly to those who witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And that word you'll be my witnesses. The word witnesses is martto. Martus is the noun. Martetto is the verb. And the word martus we get the word martyr from that. And a witness when when John when um John writes this or Luke writes this in acts a witness was somebody who was called in by the Roman authorities into a court of law
• 75:00 - 75:30 and they was told offer some incense to Caesar and say Kaiser curios Caesar is Lord and the Christians would say no yes curios Jesus is Lord and they would be told if you don't offer some incense to Caesar then then we're going to execute you throw you to lions behead you burn you alive something like that and to be a witness means you you testify in a legal arena where everything is on the line. That's what the word witness means in the context New Testament. And Jesus says, you're going to be my witnesses that you're going to testify to me regardless of the personal cost. You're
• 75:30 - 76:00 going to be my you're going to be the witnesses to the fact I'm the risen Lord and I'm coming again regardless of what society may think about you or the social, political or or personal consequences of making that stand. You know, Lenin understood this. Lenin said, "Well, you know, Jesus turned the world upside down with 12 disciples." He said, "Give me a hundred students committed to Marxism, I'll turn the whole world upside down." Lenin understood the power of a convicted person can shape a whole nation.
• 76:00 - 76:30 And so we are to be witnesses. That is not just Christians when it's comfortable, when it's easy, when it's convenient, when everything's on the line. And we face loss of career, loss of friendships, loss of family. That's what it means to be a witness to Jesus Christ. And to be a witness to Jesus Christ doesn't just mean you die for your faith. It means you live your faith regardless of the consequences up to and including death if necessary. But it
• 76:30 - 77:00 means you live your faith and you're unashamed and unapologetic about the fact that you love Jesus Christ. And my favorite soccer team is Liverpool. Does any of you know Liverpool the soccer team? Okay. I was born near Liverpool. I've supported Liverpool my entire life. They won they won their league, the English league last weekend. And all around the world, people are celebrating because it's like a global brand and they're wearing their Liverpool Liverpool tops around the entire world. People are not ashamed of their soccer team. They are proud of their soccer team. They sing songs about their soccer
• 77:00 - 77:30 team. They tattoo the names of the players on their bodies for their soccer team. And I wish, oh, if only the Christians were so passionate about Jesus Christ and unashamed of bearing the name Jesus in the workplace and in the park and in their personal and private lives. You will be my witnesses, said Jesus. And he promises that when you step out in faith and you're putting everything on the line for God and you are giving a witness to what Jesus means to you in your life, it is in that moment Jesus says that the Holy Spirit will be poured up out upon you with power. The word is dynamite. Dunameus.
• 77:30 - 78:00 And that word dynamite, we get the word dynamite from that dunameus. Let me ask you this. If if dynamite comes into your life and goes off, is anything ever the same again? No. says Jesus in Romans 1, the s Jesus was declared with power, with dynamite to be the son of God through his resurrection. That is after the resurrection of Christ, everything changed in world history because Muhammad died, Buddha died, um all these other religious reli Confucious died, we have the graves of all these great men
• 78:00 - 78:30 of history, but only the grave of Jesus is empty. And that changes everything in our world. And so if we're going to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are to be witnesses. That means we put everything on the line for our witness to our faith in Jesus Christ. Come what may, regardless of the consequences, we don't care what the world thinks about us. And then we will see the Holy Spirit poured out in a powerful powerful way. So what do we say in our conclusion here today? The first great reset in e in Joseph's time centralized economic
• 78:30 - 79:00 power with the national elites of Egypt and enslaved the common man. Those who survived it like Jacob were living in the country and they had saved wealth in the form of precious metals outside the economic system of Egypt. The second great reset which is happening right today is also going to centralize economic power with the social elites and enslave the common man via CBDC's. Many many secular journalists are raising the same alarm. It's happening. There's almost nothing we can
• 79:00 - 79:30 do to stop it. Those who understand what is happening, such as the sovereign wealth funds, the wealthy of our world, the the the super rich and the national banks of our world, are stocking up on as much gold and silver as possible so they have wealth outside of the new economic system. But the only reset that really matters, the final great reset, is open to all of us today. We experience our we experience its blessings as we surrender our hearts and our wills to God each morning and ask
• 79:30 - 80:00 daily for the infilling of the Holy Spirit. I would challenge you today from this day forward when you get down on your knees in the morning as we should be doing. Start your day in prayer. Ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Ask that God's Holy Spirit will so fill you that there is less of you and more of Jesus in your character day by day. Ask the Holy Spirit to transform your character, to guide your decisions, to enable and elevate your thoughts, to lift you up from your fallen desires, to embolden our witness, to unite us with
• 80:00 - 80:30 like-minded brothers and sisters here in South Carolina. And through lifting Jesus high in our lives, through the witness of a loving life, we may draw as many people to Christ for eternity. Today, our elites are stacking gold. If we participate in the final great reset, we won't merely be stacking gold. We're going to walk on streets of gold. In that final great reset, you wonder what's it going to be like when we get to heaven. My favorite verses in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 2:9. I hath not
• 80:30 - 81:00 seen nor ear heard. Neither have entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him. We have no idea what God has prepared for us. All I know is it's something beyond my wildest imagination where my deepest needs will be met, my deepest pain will be healed, and my deepest joy and desires will be fulfilled. God has something special for those who participates in the only reset that really matters except a man be born
• 81:00 - 81:30 again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. It's my prayer that we will all experience that great reset every single morning of this coming week, this coming month, for the rest of this year, that we will experience the infilling, the baptism, and the transformational presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. So that when people see us, they see Jesus Christ and they're drawn to him. May God bless us as we go through that great reset in our own personal lives. Let's bow our heads for a word of prayer. Heavenly
• 81:30 - 82:00 Father, we know we're living in momentous times. We know that the governments of the world are building on shifting sand. We know that our monetary system is dying before our eyes. We know that the hearts of many are failing them for fear of what is coming upon our world with the environment and the economy and social breakdown and the breakup of our families.
• 82:00 - 82:30 But father we don't want to live in fear or in pain. We want to lift our heads high and say this is our Lord whom we have waited for and he is coming for us in order to save us. So father today we ask aresh for the baptism of your holy spirit. Lord wash away the works of the flesh. Remove the stain and the shame, the guilt and the fear of our past, and replace it with love and joy, with hope and gentle gentleness and longsuffering and a kindness of spirit. Father, may
• 82:30 - 83:00 the fruits of your spirit be manifest in our characters from this day forward. Father, we're going to claim your promises today that you can and will do for us that which we cannot do for ourselves. So Lord, we give our lives into your hands today. fill us, transform us, shape us, and mold us. And Father, when you and your son come in those clouds of glory, looking for those whose names are in the Lamb's book of
• 83:00 - 83:30 life, may we be found in the only ledger that really matters. This is our prayer in Jesus' name. Amen.
