Venture with us into the realm where our very essence intertwines with the divine blueprint, where we scrutinize the moral compass bestowed upon us by a higher power. Elon Musk joins the conversation, sounding the alarm on the unchecked progression of artificial intelligence, urging us to measure the strides of technology against the tapestry of celestial intention. We dissect the magnetic force that draws men and women together, an impulse carved by the divine for continuity of life, and confront the enigmatic vastness of a plan that is beyond human comprehension. With a blend of spiritual insight and technological foresight, this episode is a crucible of existential debate, ethical quandaries, and the timeless quest for understanding our place in God's grand scheme.

As we cast our gaze toward the horizon of eternity, we delve into the Christian vision of a new Jerusalem, unraveling the rich symbolism woven into its twelve gates and the souls who will walk through them. Our narrative traverses the teachings of Jesus, who spoke of the greatest and least in the kingdom of God—words that beckon us to reflect on the gravity of our earthly deeds. Death's inevitability underscores the urgency to align our spiritual trajectory, as we grapple with the concept of salvation and the divine selection of the elect. Join us on this quest for truth, where we balance on the precipice of the known and the unknowable, seeking solace in the promise of a future crafted by the divine architect.

Speaker 1:

Good afternoon, sarro Johnson at Vernon, british Columbia, at 2.51 pm on the 30th of January, good afternoon. We're getting one month of winter wrapped up. We're heading into, well, another month. We should be closer to spring, which is good. I'm glad of that. I really do like spring and the new year.

Speaker 1:

What I wanted to talk about today was basically, when you stop and think about things, what are we doing here? You know really, what are we doing here. You know people born, grow up, go to school, learn something, a little bit of knowledge. Then they get together with another sex and develop them more of themselves, which is a plan God put together. They have nothing really to do with it. The instincts are put in them. It's not there, it was put there. That makes men attractive to women, and women are much more attractive to look at than men for the reason that they would get the seed that men plant and they could attract maybe the best one they could get. Now, what does that all prove? It proves that we're sort of, you know, not that bright about knowing everything. But it proves that God in His infinite wisdom and let's face it, I mean if you are a reasonable person and realize that God created everything and that Jesus was the one who created it and he's God, jesus also God. And for what purpose? It must be a purpose that we have a little hard time grasping something that great, that big and that horrendously complicated to put together a race of people who would develop according to what God hoped they would do, and the kind of beings that would choose Him and not against Him, and would choose His laws and the laws that he has to have to run a universe.

Speaker 1:

Now, when I see people talking about Well, elon Musk, for one, talking about going to Mars and all that stuff, I get a little uneasy about that because I don't think that we're built to do that. I could see the moon. It's close enough to the earth that it's practically an appendage of the earth, but nobody would really want to live there. Now, all these things, you have to admit that there has been development, great development taking place, increasing, increasing, increasing. For instance, I do on these podcasts, I use a program that moderates the sound, does it on its own, maybe ten bucks a month for it, or whatever. Then I have another program that basically artificial intelligence program that takes what I talk about, or whatever, and correlates a description of it way better than I can. It really does. That's just a bare bones AI program. Now, one thing that Elon Musk talks about and I agree with him is that we have no idea what artificial intelligence can develop into, and he claims that it's developing way faster than anyone realizes.

Speaker 1:

Now, this is a form of intelligence that has no morals whatever or anything. Now, it doesn't adhere to anyone. It's just a system that actually can build itself, and there is most likely no reason to think that it will build itself as a moral or good system. But to me, it is a system that is not in line with God's plan for the universe. But I'm sure that he has decided that it's going to develop, and it's going to develop along evil lines. If it has anything to do with men, minds, humans, minds developing it to start with, it will develop towards the evil side more than the good side, because that's the way we are Now.

Speaker 1:

That's not going to stop the direction that God has in mind for anything. It's not out of His realm to not control it, but he's going to let it go and we're not in control of stopping it. We can't stop it, not anymore. They'll talk about it, but they'll all be too late. It's just like the Congress in the United States talks themselves to death and they can't fix the problems. Canadian Parliament is just the same.

Speaker 1:

That shows the weakness of human nature and its ability to actually judge what's right and what's wrong. They don't have the power. They think they have the power. They try to make laws. They don't have the power and the intelligence to make a law. Only God can do that. You have to be the creator of everything and know exactly what the outcome of everything you do is. Yeah, artificial intelligence is going to creep in so fast. The thing is, what do you do about it? You know God made a plan and we're living in that plan. There's no doubt about it. And in that plan he says if you to His creation.

Speaker 1:

He says if you believe that I sent Jesus to this earth, till it, be a man and take responsibility for the sins of all of you who have ever lived on this planet, my law is fixed, it cannot be changed and it's a perfect law. If you break that law, you're destroyed. You die. Now how could he raise His family that he wants His sons if they were all going to be destroyed? He couldn't break His law, so he had to have somebody that was equal to in value to all of the human race to pay the price for breaking the law, to die in their place.

Speaker 1:

Now that's a little hard to grasp, but that's what he did. And he says the only requirement is that you believe I did it and you honor me for that. You can't buy it, you can't earn it. He also knows who His elite, who His elect, will be. He knew that. He says he knew that before the world began.

Speaker 1:

Now, that's a mind that we have no idea about. We don't know. I don't know if I'm one of the elect or you. I really don't know. God actually knows that. Right now, the thing that I keep thinking is, if we're going to make it through this world, through this life, with all the mistakes and all the things we do every day, god says forgive me for those. You just ask for forgiveness or wipe your slate, whether you have to do it once a day or once a year, or 10 times a week or whatever. And if you believe that Jesus died in your place, you will be the one who is resurrected to a new life, a life you cannot even imagine Now that's you talk about. I mean, it's really hard to fathom what is offered.

Speaker 1:

The thing is, it just about blows you away when you see that what's going on in the world Governments, people, scientists, everybody is building two tiers of things. One is products for people and inventions and whatever the other side is doing. Products and inventions to kill more and more. Now, remember went from sticks and stones to bare bows and arrows, and then rifles, and then tanks and planes and bombs and missiles. Now Now we've got atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, like blow up the whole place. Submarines Can you imagine? That was not even conceived of when my grandfather was born I wouldn't even have conceived that. Now they can lay under water, travel around and destroy a whole country right from not even surface. But the killing of people has increased like a thousandfold and now they're at the point where they most likely hardly need armies. They fight it, can fight it with mechanical means. Who gets in first and who blows up first People faster? Well, you can tell that that's going to get to an end where it's just impossible, cannot go on anymore and just destroy everything.

Speaker 1:

God says that he is going to stop it before that, just before that happens. Well, we're getting to that stage, and I said before that if you want to know when the end of this age is it's not the end of the world the end of this age and the new age starts. I can tell you right now with certainty that it's seven years at least. It's at least seven years from now, not a day earlier. And tomorrow it'll be seven years from tomorrow, because until the start of the tribulation starts, the trouble starts, jacob's trouble. It's going to be a big scope. You know.

Speaker 1:

It amazes me that the plan that God has. In the plan he describes a city that he's going to bring to the earth, the new Jerusalem is going to come down on the new earth. He says I want to create a new earth, heaven and earth. And he says, in that city is going to be 12 steps that are named after the 12 apostles or something, and he's going to have gates for the 12 tribes of Israel. You know three gates on each side. Tribes of Israel, now, out of the whole world. Is that? Who's going to be in charge of things? Obviously, they're going to be there. Pretty well, if I'd be there, that's what all the boys down do.

Speaker 1:

That's an amazing thing too, and the thing that Jesus said that made me really think is that he said there are those who will be the most in the kingdom of God, the greatest, and there will be those who are the least. Now, that's a big spread, and what's the divisions? You know and I don't know, but it's worth really saying you want to think about something, you want to ponder something, ponder that. Now it's really. There's been nothing offered to the human race like this, nothing, absolutely nothing, and nothing could be greater than that. That's why, in these last year or two that I've been thinking about this, I realize that I'm benign.

Speaker 1:

In two months, well, okay, that's whatever. I don't know, but I mean, I'm not, certainly not going to live forever. Neither are you. So what happens to us afterwards? We've got to think about that. If we don't, we are definitely losers and God will say fine, I don't make it, I don't want you, I don't want that kind of a person to live forever in my kingdom. It's a pretty exciting and mind-boggling time we're living in, because we're getting very close to the payoff and that's coming. So let's leave it up there. I wish you the best of luck. I hope you pay attention to that little I said. You know, I just hope so and I wish you the very best and I wish and I want God to bless you and I'm going to ask God to bless you, thank you.
