00:19Hey, good morning, friends.
00:21Sunday morning.
00:23Podcast time, Brother Mike.
00:25And I thank you for joining.
00:27And Hugh Short.
00:29I wanted to teach a short Bible study today on something related to the election we just went through.
00:35I thought you were going to find it interesting.
00:38Quick announcements.
00:39Of course, we have two live services every week at the Arizona Deliverance Center.
00:42We're downtown at 50th Avenue, south of Baltimore Road.
00:45It's a red brick building.
00:48And it's 7 o'clock on Thursday and Friday nights.
00:51We have two live services.
00:53Rick teaches Thursday night.
00:54He does a fantastic job.
00:56I'll be teaching this Friday on incredible prophecies of the Bible.
01:04Fascinating Bible study.
01:06Because he nights as late as I was with Kelly at 630 a.m.
01:10Saturday's worship service.
01:12This thing is really starting to crank.
01:16I'm so happy with it.
01:18It is just starting to boom.
01:22Saturdays at 430.
01:24The highest form of worship known to man is singing in tongues.
01:29We do that Saturday at 430.
01:31And then after that, we have a deliverance class.
01:34So you can come and finish your deliverance.
01:37It is really something special.
01:38And, of course, every month, we have our healing service.
01:43The last Friday of every month is 7 o'clock.
01:47And that thing is also just fantastic.
01:51We're getting something like 10, 12, 14 healings every service.
01:56So if you know somebody who needs to be healed, we would appreciate it if you do the same thing.
02:02We should have got to.
02:07The election was an enormous shock.
02:13But to those of us who follow the word of God, it was not much of a surprise.
02:22I have my own personal opinions on the election about why it happened and how it happened.
02:31So that's not worth going over here.
02:35But I wanted to give you Paul's take on the future.
02:42Not just mine, because his take on it is much more important and much more accurate.
02:49I want to share some of it with you about the future.
02:54Because on February 1st here in America, because of this election that we went through,
02:59enormous changes are going to happen in our lives.
03:03And Christianity is going to be the bullseye.
03:07The politicians in Washington hate what Jesus taught.
03:15They hate the New Testament.
03:18And they, now, they're not playing around.
03:25They're making, they're letting everybody out.
03:30It's just, they absolutely hate Christ and hate Christianity.
03:36And our country is going back to censorship and the destruction of our cities.
03:44Incredible levels of immorality and all these things.
03:46But what's even worse, Paul goes over here in 2 Thessalonians.
03:55Check this out.
03:582 Thessalonians chapter 2.
04:01He said,
04:03Now, I beseech you, my brethren.
04:06He's talking to Christians, not sinners.
04:08I beseech you, or I beg you, my brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
04:13That's the Greek word for coming there, pterosia.
04:17That means the unveiling, or the advent of Christ, the pterosia.
04:22So he's talking about the second coming of Christ here.
04:27Of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I are gathering together to him.
04:31Now he's talking about the rapture.
04:33The rapture gathers those of the saints together to Jesus.
04:37So the second coming is when he comes to the temple mount and lands on the earth.
04:54Now, this verse is particularly interesting.
04:59Paul says, this was written 2,000 years ago or thereabouts, approximately.
05:04He says, do not be soon shaken.
05:09Saluo is the Greek word.
05:11It means to be freaked out.
05:16Do not be freaked out in your mind or be huggled.
05:24Horeo is the Greek word for trouble there.
05:27Act like you're scared or frightened.
05:29You know, don't go ballistic.
05:34Do not be troubled, neither by a fear of them.
05:37He's talking about demons here.
05:39Or by words, Greek word, or by letter.
05:47As from us, for the day of Christ is at hand.
05:50Now here you see something God did not reveal to Paul.
05:57I think he did it deliberately.
05:59He did not reveal the second coming or the future to Paul when it was going to happen.
06:07Paul, in his mind, he had been hand-lined again.
06:10Paul obviously was a really intelligent man.
06:14And he had it all figured out in his mind that the second coming of Christ would have been in
06:20his lifetime.
06:21Or shortly thereafter.
06:23He had no idea it was going to be over 2,000 years later.
06:28Now verse 3 says,
06:30Let no man deceive you by any means.
06:34For that day will not come except there come a falling away.
06:40Greek word apostasy, where we get our English word, the apostasy.
06:46Before the rapture and the second coming of Christ, there's going to be a great worldwide hospice thing where Christianity...
06:59And as you can see here in America, Europe is even worse.
07:03It's starting to happen here.
07:05And with this recent election, Christianity is going to be...
07:15People who just won the current election hate Christ.
07:24It says, the falling away or the great apostasy has to come first.
07:32Then, it says, a man of sin will be revealed.
07:37Now that Greek word for man there, anthropos, which means human, human being.
07:45The human of sin will be revealed.
07:50That's the Greek word, apokalukto, which is the same Greek word that Mel Gibson used in that movie he made.
08:00Apokalukto.
08:01You remember that?
08:01People in the jungle.
08:02You had to see that movie.
08:05Kind of an interesting movie.
08:07But that was the apocalypse.
08:09That was Mel Gibson's journey.
08:13Time.
08:13And it says, falling away must come first.
08:19And then the human being of sin will be revealed.
08:24And he called him the son of perdition.
08:29Aulia is the Greek word for perdition there.
08:31It means destruction or ruination or catastrophe or disaster or something like that.
08:36He is the son of perdition.
08:41And here's what he'll do.
08:42Verse 4.
08:43He opposes and exalts himself above everyone.
08:54And everything that's called God or everything that is worshiped.
09:00So here the Antichrist is not going to be a friend of Hinduism, Buddhism, or Christianity, or Judaism.
09:08Far from it.
09:08He will make himself his own religion.
09:14He wants to be worshipped.
09:17And it goes back to the Garden of Eden and Eve.
09:20When the devil said he will be like God.
09:24Knowing good and evil.
09:27Here it is again.
09:30You know.
09:312,000 years, 2,500 years, whatever it is.
09:35Later.
09:36Men are still trying to be like God.
09:42He's showing you the temple.
09:44What temple?
09:46Well, that's a good question.
09:48There's not one over there now.
09:50Is it another temple or is it one yet to be built?
09:53Well, it's some temple somewhere.
09:56And he shows himself that he is God.
10:01He is God.
10:02Verse 6.
10:04And now you know what.
10:07Withhold.
10:08That he might be revealed in his son.
10:11His time.
10:12Now, this Greek word is very important to remember in this verse.
10:15Kateko.
10:18Means to restrain.
10:22Have you ever seen one of these videos?
10:25Where somebody gets pulled over.
10:29And, you know, they turn signal violation.
10:34Cops pull him over.
10:36And it goes sideways fast.
10:40Everybody's just freaked.
10:41They pull the person out of the car.
10:46They flam him on the ground.
10:49They sit on top of him.
10:51They handcuff him.
10:53They drag him to the patrol car.
10:55I mean, the whole thing could have been avoided.
10:57He just simply gave the cops.
11:01Provided proof of insurance.
11:04There you go.
11:05There would have been nothing to it.
11:06But a turn signal violation turns into a two or three misdemeanors.
11:12Well, when they were on the ground and handcuffed, the cops were restraining that person.
11:19That is exactly what this Greek word means.
11:22You see it on a video.
11:25With hope.
11:26Take him.
11:26To restrain.
11:27To hold down.
11:29To hold back.
11:30To keep out.
11:32That's what that word means, that he might be revealed in his time.
11:40And then Paul goes to another interesting concept.
11:44Verse 7.
11:45The mystery of iniquity.
11:48The mystery of iniquity.
11:50And he's tying it to this person that comes in the future.
11:54But it's already here.
11:56He says.
11:57It's already working here.
11:59Well, if you look at America recently or Europe, my God, or Africa, or Asia, the mystery of iniquity is
12:08running wild on our planet.
12:09No question about it.
12:11It's absolutely horrible.
12:13But back then, it was already working.
12:16And then he says something interesting.
12:19He who now left.
12:23Now, notice this is the same Greek word as was translated in the previous verse.
12:29With hope.
12:31Let up.
12:33Take up.
12:35Strain.
12:36Hold down.
12:37Hold down.
12:37Keep out.
12:39Push it back.
12:40Stop.
12:42He who now could take all will continue to do that until he be taken out of the way.
12:56And then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the mortal consume with the spirit of the mouth, and shall
13:04destroy with the brightness of his coming.
13:08Whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, Greek word dunamis, supernatural power, and signs, Greek word
13:24Simeon miracles, and lying wonders.
13:29Wonders, lying, suit us, fake, fabricated, false, wonders, Paris, amazing, miraculous events.
13:41That's a wonder.
13:42And here you see AI.
13:44And here you see AI wrapped up in this verse 9.
13:47Lying wonders.
13:50They're not real wonders.
13:52They're counterfeit.
13:54They're fake.
13:56They're fabricated.
13:57Here you see it.
13:59Ugly yet.
14:01In verses that centuries, we had no idea it was AI.
14:07And then verse 10 says, with all deceivableness, so unrighteousness, and after January 1st of this year, the United States,
14:18which is soaked in sin, will become a game changer.
14:23We're going to see sin like you have never seen it before in the United States.
14:28The record levels of sin are coming after January 1st, and the new House of Senate, with all deceivableness and
14:42unrighteousness, in those who are perishing, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
14:56And there you can see the heart of the gospel.
14:59Right there it is.
15:01You have to love truth in order to be saved, not just intellectually or stealing.
15:13Not just intellectually.
15:17Oh, no.
15:18I taught the whole lesson with no headset on.
15:21Oh, boy.
15:21That's not good.
15:22And you see in this verse that supernatural events are going to be happening in the future, and miraculous things
15:33are going to be happening, and fake things are going to be happening in the future, to deceive everybody into
15:41unrighteousness.
15:42And that's what has destroyed, or is going to destroy, not just the United States, but everybody else.
15:54And for this cause, God shall send them a strong delusion that they should believe lies.
16:03God will send them that delusion.
16:05Why is that?
16:07Why is that?
16:08He says it in verse 12, that they all might be damned, Greek word krino, judged, who believed not the
16:18truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
16:22So you can see how this whole thing is changing now.
16:26People are not going to just be sinning anymore.
16:30They're not just going to be committing sins, you know, they know they shouldn't, or they used to hate, or
16:39they're sinning because they failed, and oops, I didn't mean to do that.
16:43Humanity is going to wash over into this massive love of sinning.
16:50They like it.
16:53They love it.
16:55And that's what our world is going to come to in January 1st this year.
17:00Excuse me, in 2027, that is the beginning of the end for America.
17:04It's going to be people who love sin more than they love their own lives.
17:12Verse 12 again says that they all might be judged, krino, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
17:22unrighteousness.
17:23They had unrighteousness.
17:25They had pleasure in it.
17:26They like it.
17:28They enjoyed it.
17:32And so Paul's telling you, don't be shaken over this.
17:37Don't let demons shake you.
17:39Don't let something somebody says shake you.
17:42Don't let something somebody does shake you.
17:47Don't get all shook up about it.
17:50I'm telling you about it before it happens, is what Paul's saying.
17:54I'm letting you know what's going on before it happens.
18:00And in January, things are going to change in America enormously, and they're going to change very quickly.
18:08Very quickly.
18:11The party that's coming into power, they are going to rapidly do everything they can to implement satanic and demonic
18:24policies.
18:24And they have the power to do it.
18:26They have the authority to do it now.
18:31We were experiencing, with the last administration, tremendous censorship.
18:38I mean, if I put something on Facebook that was controversial or somebody didn't like it, you could file a
18:49complaint, and Facebook would put you on probation.
18:53They would monitor what you were saying.
18:56And it's going to be like that.
18:58Twitter was like that.
19:02Censorship is coming back.
19:05And the devil is going to make sure that you and I, he's telling us one thing loud and clear.
19:12Keep your mouth shut.
19:16Keep your mouth shut.
19:20And Paul's telling you, don't be shaken up about that.
19:23Don't let that rattle you.
19:27A lot of worse things are coming.
19:30And if he wrote that verse yesterday, it would apply now.
19:35There is a lot of worse things coming.
19:38The Antichrist is, I believe, alive on the earth somewhere now.
19:44I don't know how old he is.
19:46Grade school, middle school, something.
19:47I think he's alive somewhere in the Middle East.
19:52And I think incredibly, even somebody who's an old man like me may happen to see all these things come
20:02to pass in my lifetime.
20:04I never dreamed that was possible.
20:06I always thought it was some kind of a distant future event.
20:09I had no idea how rapidly.
20:12And when the Bible says in the end times, knowledge shall increase.
20:16You know, when I was in college, we had absolutely no concept of what's happening now.
20:22Everything is so dramatic now compared to what they were when I was in college, when I was a kid,
20:31when I was a young adult.
20:32And it's a totally different world here now.
20:36I feel like I'm living on Mars now.
20:40But this thing is going to get really bad.
20:43And you have to be prepared for it.
20:45You have to be in a situation where your faith is solid.
20:49You have to have your worship skills honed.
20:55You have to be able to take the heat because it's not going to be pleasant.
21:01You've got to be able to take some shots if you want to be in the ring with the champ.
21:07You're going to have to learn spiritual warfare skills.
21:10You're going to have to learn to fight.
21:14You're going to have to learn to stand up for what you believe and fight back.
21:22And you're not, if you get rattled or you look like you're shaken, the devil will take advantage of it.
21:28He will intimidate you and overrun you.
21:31If you are still struggling with your deliverance, please come Monday nights at 530.
21:38Please come Saturday at 430 and finish your deliverance because very tough times.
21:48Europe is coming to America after January 1st.
21:53The new administration, the new Congress, I should say, wants America to be like Europe.
22:04Riots, civil unrest, rampant sin, evil everywhere.
22:12And people think, well, Brother Mike, you're kind of going overboard on this thing.
22:17Friend, I'm not going overboard.
22:19I'm telling you this is going to happen.
22:21The Bible is warning us and has warned us that all these things are going to happen.
22:27And we want to help you.
22:31If you call me at 602-636-5800, you can come in for private prayer or deliverance.
22:41If you send me an email, Mike, at hardcorechristianity.com, we will work with you, step up for you, fight
22:51with you.
22:52We will do everything we can to help you because, wow, time is short.
22:58And things are happening so rapidly.
23:03Many years ago, when I was reading the book of Revelation, I often wondered, how can all these things happen
23:11in Revelation?
23:14It seems like a fantasy book because all of this stuff, wouldn't it take decades for all this stuff to
23:20happen?
23:21Absolutely not.
23:23I now know, living at my age now, how rapid things are changing, how fast it's happening.
23:33It's really stunning.
23:36Our world is changing so fast.
23:39It's absolutely incredible.
23:41In the last five years, Europe went from some beautiful place to a garbage dump.
23:52Crime in the United States.
23:55We never thought we'd ever see these levels of crime.
24:00We never saw we'd ever see aliens from other countries just walking across the border
24:12and signing up to receive free health care, free food, and free lodging here in America.
24:22Nobody ever dreamed anything like this would happen.
24:25Nobody thought it could possibly happen.
24:27And it's happened so fast.
24:3036 months, 48 months.
24:32I mean, it's really coming quickly now.
24:35And the church has got to get ready.
24:38We need to get out of this prosperity stuff and out of this seeker-friendly wisdom that we use at
24:48church now.
24:48We need to abandon all that because hell is coming to breakfast.
24:54And this thing's going to heat up quickly.
24:57And after January 1st, you're going to remember this podcast and go, wow, Brother Mike was right.
25:03This is going down the drain fast.
25:07And I mean very fast.
25:10The new Congress is coming in, is very angry, very aggressive.
25:17They have satanic desires of hate and anger, and they are going to come after us so fast.
25:27It's going to be shocking, literally shocking.
25:32And people are going to be just like, oh, I cannot believe we've come to this.
25:37How do we deteriorate to this?
25:39I mean, think about it.
25:40Just a few short years ago, nobody ever even had the thought.
25:44Well, wait a minute, I was born a boy, but I think I'm a girl.
25:54And society came along and said, oh, yeah, you are a girl.
25:59And you know what we need to do?
26:01Have the taxpayers pay for you to transition into a girl.
26:08Yeah, you need to get implants in your breast.
26:11You need to have your genitals cut off.
26:14That's right.
26:15And that's healthy for you.
26:19Yeah.
26:20If we transition you, that will improve your psyche and your emotional well-being.
26:26This is a good thing.
26:30And the parents went along with it, and you're sitting there going, where did this come from?
26:36How can this be?
26:38It was just a few short years ago that nobody said that a baby should be aborted at nine months.
26:48Nobody said that.
26:50Everybody knew that was wrong.
26:53Okay.
26:53When I was young, yeah, I got my girlfriend pregnant.
26:59I had an abortion.
27:00Back then, it was in the first trimester or maybe the second one that you were allowed to have an
27:06abortion.
27:07You know, and like an idiot, I did it.
27:12And now, now it's nine months?
27:19That's hard to believe.
27:20Several states now have laws that say you can have an abortion up to nine months.
27:26Well, a few years ago, people would have said, what?
27:30Nine months?
27:30Come on.
27:31What are you talking about?
27:34Everything is going to move rapidly.
27:37Satan is going to rapidly express train our societies to the tribulation and Armageddon.
27:50And the Deliverance Center is here to help.
27:53602-636-5800.
27:56Mike at HardcoreChristianity.com.
27:59See you next time.
