Welcome, everyone. This is Russ Scalzo, Chronicles of the End Times. I'm so glad you're with us today as we continue our series on How it Will End. To start off today's show, I want you to hear a clip from Glenn Beck about a dream he had. Now, if you listen to Glenn Beck's show, he has many interesting guests. A good friend of mine reminded me that Glen Beck is a of the Mormon faith, but I believe the Lord is opening the eyes of people all over to the spiritual world.

00:35
In this one episode, he shares about a dream he had, and it is so relevant to all the things we've been talking about in the books that I have written, and others have written about the spiritual warfare that we're in and the reality of it. So, we're going to talk about how it will end, but we're going to open with this because it all plays into it. I encourage you to listen to the whole podcast. God is opening the eyes of so many people. That's why I do what I do, and many others do what they do, to bring truth, to bring relevance to exactly where we are in the chronicles of the end times. Check it out. Here's Glenn Beck.

I come to in this dream, and I am in a hallway of the White House, and I'm walking into a big room where there's a bunch of cubicles, and people look up like, who's walking in? And there are people behind me, but I don't know who they are yet. I just know I'm being pushed forward by them. The people are at the cubicles, and they look over the cubicle first at me, and then their eyes dart to the people behind me and then dart right back down, and I realize everybody in the White House is terrified of who's ever behind me. I kind of glance back, and I see these people that are in uniforms that I've never seen before, and I have seen them since, but that will be for some other time, but I had never seen these before, and we're being pushed through this place, and then we go into a room like the Situation Room Okay, big conference room, presidential and it's me and about three other people, and we're sitting down at that conference room table and we were told just to wait there. So, we do, and we start talking about I don't think this is going to be good. That's when two other people walk in and they were clearly identified in the dream, however, I'm not sure anymore that that image was anything other than helping me relate to what I'm about to tell you.
·
·
·
02:53
When they open the door, these guys in the uniforms are in the hallway, and the one guy says him, him, and him, take him out. And they get up and look at me, and I'm the only one sitting at the table still, and they go out. The guards close the doors, and I'm now alone with these two people who are clearly in charge of something. They're not political, they're not in a political position. It didn't feel like, you know, it wasn't the president or anything like that. And they are standing there, and then I hear three gunshots, and they said yeah, yeah, that happened pretty quickly for them. However, you were going to get to know. And I said okay. And they said because you really have no idea who you're dealing with. And that's when one of them reached under like a Mission Impossible mask and ripped off his face. And he was Satan. He was a demon. Okay, horrifying. I wake up.

Quite a story, quite a vision or dream. However, if you want to look at it, this is reality. This is a spiritual reality. Most people will say, you know, you had some hot chili that night or make some joke out of it. But God is opening the door. He is giving visions. He said in the last days that we will have visions and dreams. That's how much he cares about us. And then he gives them to people who have a certain amount of influence, like Glenn Beck and others. So, the word can get out there that maybe we should open our eyes. Yet if you think all this is just someone's idea, it is not.

04:47
It began in the first rebellion of Satan and those in high places that Paul talks about, the principalities and powers that were cast out of heaven and now rule upon the earth. These beings are powerful. I know as Christians, we don't want to give glory to the enemy, but the first thing you want to do is know your enemy, and when I hear people talk foolishness about the devil and demons and dark angels like they're just fools and you know we're Christians, we just walk over top of them then they have no knowledge. Jesus Christ has given us his name and his power to disarm the principalities, which he did on the cross. He made an open show of them. The scripture says but still, you want to know who your enemy is. Like the seven sons of Sceva, that story that many of you probably know where they went to cast out the demon, and they said we cast you out in the name of Jesus, who Paul preaches. The demon just looked at him. I know Jesus, I know Paul, who are you? You can’t pretend and have some false Christianity or false religion and think you're going to win that battle. So, is it important that we understand this? Yes, are there people involved? Yes, they're being controlled, and they have given permission to the enemy to control them. Once you drink that Kool-Aid and you have submitted to that spirit, whether it be a spirit of lust or a spirit of hate, it then controls you and unfortunately, we have that in our government.
·
·
·
06:23
The way things are being pushed upon us with sexual immorality, everything has the stamp of approval on it from Washington. We have the powerful influence of the LBGQTIA community, which is not a movement anymore. It's a religion. If you don't believe their way, you need to get out of the way. Sin is the problem. There are a lot of things that the church would prefer not to deal with, and one is our sexual practices, not only in the gay community, but in the heterosexual community, and many of us have friends or relatives who hold to those beliefs. Same-sex marriage, raising children, influencing them to be free with their sexual preference.
·
·
·
07:04
Okay, so this is something nobody wants to talk about, but let's entertain it for a moment. Suppose that the Bible is right. Suppose that the Old Testament and Romans and other scriptures that deal with this are really from God. What then? Someone might say well, that's old stuff. You know we got to get hip to how God is right now. But when you read those scriptures, it's scary.
·
·
·
07:25
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. If you bring this up, right away, someone will say, oh, you're one of the haters. Well, those who know me, and I know it's hard to know someone on a podcast, know that's not true.
·
·
·
07:47
Because of that, it's my hope that they will be blessed, and they will inherit the kingdom of God? But how can I wish them well if I believe in my heart that what they're doing is damnable in the sight of God? And that bothers me? We know people, we have relatives. It's personal. Are we being fair? That's my question. But that is truly part of the deception. It's part of the lawlessness. So, what do we do? We need to pray that God intervenes and opens up their eyes, just like he opened up our eyes. These are not new things. This has been going on for thousands of years. A lot of people think this is some kind of new revolution. But it's not. It's just a renewal of old things. As you know, there is a new church rising up, a much more liberal, leftist church, one that accepts all these things and ignores that part of the Bible. Why do I mention that?
·
·
·
08:42
In Revelation chapter 17 it shows a woman riding on the beast. The beast represents the Antichrist and the coming world system. The woman is dressed luxuriously, showing that the church is going to prosper under the Antichrist rule. So, it's a warning that, yes, you can go to church, and you can go to places that endorse this behavior, but you're in the wrong place. You're being prepared to back the Antichrist, and that's what the book of Revelation talks about. Figuratively, the Antichrist will marry this church, just like Christ marries the Bride, the true church. But the difference is that when the Antichrist is done with the church, the scriptures clearly say that he will destroy it because, in the end, his objective is to destroy and annihilate the human race.
·
·
·
09:28
Listen, I was a sinner, I am a sinner just like anybody else, and there are parts of the Bible I'd like to ignore, but the Holy Spirit won't let me, so I have to read the whole thing, and that applies to everyone. Sin is the problem, and it can only be defeated through Jesus Christ. There is no other way. You can't bring legislation to Congress and have it passed and think that's going to fix things. That's not the way it works. There's only one remedy, and that's an encounter with Jesus Christ. Let's talk about this coming world leader, the Antichrist. He's going to be the leader of the perversion. He's going to be the leader of the rebellion.
·
·
·
10:08
Let's take a look at the book of Joel, chapter 3. In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. There, I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people, Israel, for they have scattered my people among the nations and divided my land. They cast lots for my people and traded boys for prostitutes. They sold girls for wine that they might drink. You'll find this again in Revelation.
·
·
·
10:42
Jump to verse 9. It says Proclaim this among the nations, prepare for war, rouse the warriors, let all the fighting men draw near and attack, beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weaklings say I am strong, come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble there. This is a scripture that gets misused quite often. Let the weaklings say I am strong. That has nothing to do with Christianity or following Jesus. It's rebellion. He's saying come on, everybody, grab your weapons, let's go. Even the one who's weakling. Let him say hey, I'm strong, I can defeat him. I will take down the Lord, God Almighty!
·
·
·
11:27
Psalm 2: Why do the nations conspire, and all the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his anointed one. They are talking about throwing off the chains. That's how people look at walking with God. The restrictions, oh, he's chaining us up. All the fetters, as they call them. The chains around my ankles and my hands, that's what God does. No, we're breaking those free. We're going to show him that we're really free.
·
·
·
12:08
This is the type of arrogance we see displayed today, but it's only the beginning. Once again, we're talking about the steppingstones. What changes people's hearts? This is it: rebellion. I will do it my way. I know we're repeating this, but we have to understand that this is the foundation. This is how the world rises up.
·
·
·
12:30
This is where they get their confidence. It's from the rebellion, and as it grows bigger and bigger and the world becomes one in it, they get a false confidence that they can defeat even God. Where does that come from? Sound familiar. Satan had the same false confidence. He said I will lift myself up on high and take the place of the Almighty. Satan could see God; he experienced God, yet still, he thought he could defeat him. Jesus looked at the Pharisees and the Sadducees and said you are of your father, the devil. Wow, what a thing to say. This is what's happening here. You are of your father, the devil. You take on your father's attributes. So, keeping that rebellion in mind, it’s like a tsunami. As it gets closer to the shore, the tsunamis get bigger. In the same fashion, as we get closer to the Antichrist rising up, the rebellion gets greater and greater, actually ushering him in.
·
·
·
13:34
Let's pick up in Joel, chapter 3. We're going to now look at verse 12: “Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side.
Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full, and the vats overflow— so great is their wickedness!”
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
It's interesting that the Lord calls it the valley of decision, the great plains of Megiddo, of which Napoleon said all the nations of the world could fight on this plain. He probably didn't realize what he was saying because one day, soon, they will. It's interesting in Joel that he calls it my land. He calls them my people. Anti-Semitism is part of the rebellion.
·
·
·
14:37
These are all pieces of the puzzle because who's behind it? Who really hates the Jews? It's Satan. He hates them for a myriad of reasons. He's tried to destroy them since day one. Why? Because they carry the messianic line. That would be his demise, and he knew it. He had to stop it. We've covered that before. So, he can't wipe out God. So, he's going to wipe out the Jews, who God has claimed as his people. Now we can say what we want about that.
·
·
·
15:06
You may not agree with what Israel's doing now. You may agree with it. You may not like them, but that doesn't matter. There are people that don't like you and me, and God saved us. It's not about us; it's not about them. It's about God and his promises. This is what he's decided, so he's not going to Congress to get their approval. There's no day of voting to see if God can do what he wants to do. He's going to do what he wants to do because he owns everything.
·
·
·
15:36
Here is another sign of the times you don't hear much about, but you will agree that it's happening right before our eyes. James, chapter 5. Let's take a look at that Now. Listen. You rich people weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and your silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Boy, does that sound like the elite, the billionaires today?
·
·
·
16:10
Jump ahead, go to chapter 18 of Revelation. It talks about the fall of Babylon. Now, Babylon is a place and a system. You've heard teachings on it. You've heard me talk about it. Babylon is where the rebellion on earth began, where it was fortified by the Tower of Babel and all the demon gods that Babylon worshipped. Here it is symbolic of a rebuilt Babylon in the minds of the people. Let's read a little bit. The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargos anymore, cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls, fine linen, purple silk, all the great things that money can buy. In Revelation, God is about to judge the system of Babylon. This is what is coming. This is what the elite, those who rebel against God and make their own rules, become.
·
·
·
17:04
In verse 20, whoa, oh great city where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth. In one hour, she's been taken and brought to ruin. Rejoice over her, oh heaven. Rejoice saints and apostles and prophets. God has judged her for the way she treated you. By your magic spell, all the nations were led astray. In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints and of all who have been killed on the earth.
·
·
·
17:35
I hope this clears up why we put so much emphasis on the rebellion and what's going on right now in our society. Because it's not the world per se that's going to persecute the church of God and all the Jews that refuse to move off of the Bible. It's the false church. It's the woman riding on the beast that will persecute and kill every follower of Jesus Christ, every prophet that rises up. This is why the warning is so severe and so very important to hearken to. By your magic spell, the scripture says, this just underlines the spiritual warfare and the origin of all this rebellion, where it comes from today, how it's going to multiply and come against God himself.
·
·
·
18:29
In the end, we have to understand that the system belongs to the enemy. Jesus Christ is not coming back to save the system. He's not coming back to save democracy. We've been blessed with democracy, no doubt, but God's coming back to save his people. He's coming back for you and me. He's coming back to fulfill the promises he made to Israel and to redeem them, even though none of us deserved it because he has made up his mind to do so.
·
·
·
19:01
In the next podcast, you should be able to go right to it. We're going to get into the next step after the entire rebellion is in full gear. We're going to talk about the actual battle, how it shapes up, and what scripture has to say about it. I believe it will open our eyes. It is an interesting study and, being we are there at the threshold, it's not an option. We need to know so we can warn others. This is Russ Scalzo for Chronicles of the End Times.
