0:47 Well, I don't know if you caught this or not, but Planned Parenthood was caught stealing taxpayer dollars through COVID small business loans. I know, no big surprise here. We know there's been so much waste and fraud that has been circulating around the whole COVID situation. Well, doctor Alex McFarlane is here to report on that and how the COVID small business loans have been supporting the abortion agenda. We're also going to talk about the Vatican's decision to allow blessings for homosexual unions. You're it right, the Catholic Church, the Vatican decides to allow blessings for homosexual unions, and schools and educators from kindergarten through higher education have been trying to curb free speech for years. So that's the start, just to get us underway, and I'm sure we'll delve into other topics as well from a biblical worldview. Doctor Alex McFarland, welcome to show.

1:41 Good to have you with us. Well, thank you, Bill, it's great to be on. I appreciate you so much. I love your insights, your credit to journalism. I just wish there were more like you. Well, that's very kind of you to say. And I think this is why we're so simpatico, because we're both striving for a bit local worldview, pursuing the truth no matter where it leads, in a environment that's doing everything they can to stifle the truth and ignore it at their own peril and injury. Oh yeah, yeah. And you know, here's the thing that there are a lot of people, the abortion activists, the LGBTQ, transactivists, the you know, people that want Islam, you know, mainstreamed in the Western world. See, here's what the unintended consequence of the enforced secularism has done. It's it's made us a weaker country where a country where it's less safe, there's more lawlessness, anarchy, corruption in the government. And I've said this to many secular audiences at American universities built if you want what we had, we've had stability, we've had liberty, we've had prosperity. If you want those things, you have to tolerate and preserve. What gave us those things, and what gave us liberty, stability, and prosperity was a biblical worldview. Well, it's interesting because you've got two opposing viewpoints of toleration.

3:15 If I tolerate the craziness, how much pain does that offer and what is the benefit of that? I mean, this is not some new grand experiment. This has been going on since the history of humanity. When we have disengaged our moral anchorings. You know, from that which is righteous and that which God told us to do, and that which is consistent with His design and function for his entire creation, we violate that we might as well violate gravity, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean there are some laws that exist, they're woven into the fabric of reality. Some things that are just beyond our control. But you know, through my life and Bill, I became a born again Christian when I was in college, and I was very much politically and culturally aware even before I was a Christian. And I remember in the mid eighties when I was in college, Bill, it was like my professors hated Ronald Reagan, they hated Conservatism. My professors in my classrooms at UNC Greensboro, they were always, you know, grousing about Reagan and conservatives. And on television was Billy Graham and Jerry Folwell and they hated that. And even though did they ever explain why, Alex No, No.

4:38 And I remember I was in a conversation with some you know, fellow students that were just cursing about people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Folwell and Billy Graham. And I was not even a believer yet, but I could tell. I mean, my antenna were up at least I thought, what's going on here? You know, I wasn't a Christian, but I didn't like angrily obsess about conservatives. And I asked one of my friends, I said, why do you hate Jerry Folwell? Because for those that may be and where Jerry Faulwell, founder of Liberty University. He was very much in the news it built. You'll recall in the eighties and nineties. He was, you know, pro life, pro Israel, pro free market economy, and all the things that you know democrats hate. And none of my professors nor my friends could explain their animus. But I remember this, and I thought this was ludicrous. But I had a professor in college who said, the human race is going to die in twenty years or less, and it's because Republicans and their you know, gas guzzling vehicles and cole and petroleum. And I remember I'm sitting there thinking, well, you drive a car. I mean, you're taught about you know, climate change and the bottom line.

6:03 This professor, I know it sounds ludicrous, but you know I've been around the block a long time. He said, if Reagan gets a second term and his energy policies, which aren't green, the dominoes will follow. The human race will be extinct within twenty years. And you may have noticed the human race is not extinct. It's still working. But you see, this is the deal. We get these false prophecies time and time again, and yet they live another day, which is you know, shame on the mainstream media and those that would give them place. I feel like, look at if you lose your credibility, it's kind of like of all people, was the senator from I believe Massachusetts who said falso in uno, falso in omnibus.

6:46 Now here's one. He has been consistently false on several occasions, in fact, caught stealing honor at one point. And you know, and this is the thing about the left, I say, alex and people that get themselves so ideologically fixed, they end up self indicting. You know, they'll make a statement and if you just listen to it, you go. But that's what you're doing. You know. Hillary Clinton says, oh, we don't, we don't you know, we don't imprison our political opponents. Oh okay, And then how many years later we're imprisoning our political opponents. Exactly right, Well that's true. And you know, one of the strategies of the left has been blamed the victim, you know, accuse the other side of that, which you covertly are doing. And so then you have to confuse what the victim is right, because that's their thing too. That is a dynamic. The victim is not necessarily set. It's whoever they say it is. And even if you have to turn it upside down on its head, like what's happened in Israel. You know, when you've got Hamas coming over raping women, mass you know, mass killing innocence, enjoying a party and doing all the destruction that they did, and within twenty four hours, Hamas becomes the victim. Yeah, exactly, I mean it's crazy. You know. Shortly after nine to eleven, I was on a show with Chuck Colson, another late great American patriot. But Colson was talking about Samuel Huntington

8:20 and his book The Clash of Civilizations. Do you recall that book, Bill, Yeah, I very much so, yes, exactly. And Samuel Huntington was a professor at Harvard for fifty three years. He was a member of the Carter administration. I have no idea whether or not he was a Christian, but he certainly was no right wing conservative shill. And in that book, and of course, Islam in the West is just one issue but Huntington said, you know, liberal Westerners are very naive if they think that Islam will will assimilate to you know, democratic freespeech each republic, and so it's varsacle. There's never been an inch of history they give you that indication, right, and since October seven, I mean, it is just ludicrous how many American academics, celebrities, I mean, from Harvard to the View, we've seen naive liberal Westerners, you know, coddling Islam, standing against Israel.

9:28 And what they don't realize is, you know, if Hamas had this worldwide caliphate that they desire, among the first people that would be beheaded are the mauthy females that populate the desk on the View. I mean, it's crazy. So here's what I'm saying is, folks, if you want what we've had, which is liberty, prosperity, stability, then whether or not you're born again Christian, you should at least tolerate what gave us liberty, stability, prosperity. And without argument, we can prove what gave America two hundred and fifty years of liberty, prosperity, stability was a Judeo Christian moral foundation, right, and you look at it. I mean, put those two entities side by side. Okay, we'll put Islam on one side, Christianity on the other, and let's talk about, you know, the positive contributions to society and to culture. And the list on the Judeo Christian side is stellar. It is long and near infinite, just like our creator God.

10:41 And when you look on Islam, you see all these problems. You see beheadings, you see them aggressively taking over, you know, debasing women. I mean, it's really sad. So everything that Jesus came to give us in setting the captives free, Islam says, no, I need to put you back in the box and lock up the gate, right, yeah, exactly. I mean, you know, nowhere is that more historicly visible than if you go to the Holy Land. It's been my privilege in doing research for some books. I've visited seventy two very famous biblical sites. But in Jerusalem there's the Kidron Valley and kind of a small little, very small river that separates the you know, the West and the East, and you're looking at Jerusalem, and of course there's the Old City and the famous the Temple Mount, but then much of the modern part of Jerusalem kind of looks like San Diego, California, and there's you know, highways and flowers.

11:43 It's very beautiful. On the other side of the Kidron Valley where there's the Palestinian settlements built, I mean, it looks like a garbage dom. Oh yeah, absolutely. And the thing is Israel has offered to teach them the technology that they because of what they've done, you know, historically, I mean nobody, I mean even Mark Twain looked at the land said the desert waves, what are you getting me? And how long did it take the Jews to come in and innovate and create an irrigation system that's world class that I believe anybody on the planet could benefit from, right, yeah, exactly. You know May fourteen, nineteen forty eight, Israel was reconstituted as a nation, and do you know by the year two thousand they were one of the world's superpowers. A friend of mine in the Pentagon told me about five years ago, said, hands down the best military intel in the world.

12:37 Okay, aol. Many people twenty years ago their first exposure to the Internet was by the disc for America Online. That software was written in Jerusalem. The world's smallest subway system, a one point two mile underground subway Israel built. I thought, I thought, I thought, I thought the software was written in al Gore's garage. Oh yeah, he invented that, right, Yeah, right, Okay, I just wanted to clear the record of the bench. All yeah, exactly. But you know what, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic or pejorative, Bill, but when I'm in Israel, I mean, you've got beautiful, prosperous, free, democratic stable except when there are Hamas rockets being fired Jerusalem and across the Kidron Valley, it looks like a landfill and the people are in bondage. I mean, it's just very sad. But all of this has happened. I mean, think about Israel has done in seventy five years, what Islam has prevented it from happening over thirteen hundred years, and that freedom and prosperity and a better life.

13:50 I would say, for a Judeo Christian citizen, we are the blessed recipients. For the persons living in Islamic countries, they are the victors, but work in a bottle. The worldview, Yeah, they're they're victims by their own leadership. And that's real clear. I mean, as you know in your travels of Israel, as I did, that was interesting because the Arabs have no problem coming into areas that are controlled by the IDF and B by Jews. In fact, they told me several said he we feel safe for here in uh In in Jewish controlled areas as opposed to being where it's Arab control. And so there are specific no go zones, as you know, and no go zones for Israelis. They cannot go into these occupied areas that are controlled by by the Palestinians. And you know, so there's a clear difference, and we're seeing this clear difference right now, and I think that God in his wisdom has pulled back the veil to allow us to see, you know, the clear persecution by the Palestinians, even to this point right now, Alex where they're trying to send goods and services and equipment into for humanitarian purposes, and those trucks are being hijacked by the Palestinians by Hamas, just like they hijacked all the money that was sent to them for the welfare of the citizens there. The Palestinians. And what did they do. They

15:22 built a multi gazillionaire tunnel for military purposes. So they redirected the money for military purposes and starved to their people. Well, Bill, about five or six years ago, I remember an article that came out about a water plant, and five billion dollars was appropriated to give fresh water to the Palestinians. It was a desalination plant, take seawater, make it potable, drinkable water. Okay, five billion dollars, the majority of which came from the coffers of the United States. Well, the water desalination plant that would have provided fresh water for millions of poor Palestinian peasants. It never got built. The money was squandered. It was used for bombs, guns, rockets, for Islamic terrorists to try their centuries long attempt at exterminating Jewish people. So here's the thing built. Whenever you enter into an agreement or a social contract, there has to be good faith on both sides of the table. In other words, even when opposing parties they disagree. This Okay, look it's going to be mutually beneficial. It'll be symbiotic. Let's do this exactly. We give you five billion dollars, you provide fresh water for your people. But

16:57 in the case, I'm going to tell you two groups that they do not act in good faith. In other words, they don't keep their promises and they don't do right. Those are Muslims and Democrats, right I mean. And also let's let's throw into this situation because a lot of this stuff, Alex, this is being like right now, a lot of pressure from the United Nations. Well what are they doing? You know, they're getting involved here and doing something. You know, the negotiation of peace needs to be exactly as you said, from the parties themselves. But you can't negotiate with the p l O going back to the years of yes Sir Arafat and this mentality and of course the ancient hatred that continues there in the Middle East that they want Israel wiped out, you know from you know, from the river to the sea. So there's no there's no mutual benefit there, so it it ends before it even starts. So and the fact that you would have you know, our Secretary of State and a president of the United States trying to force Israel into something that's untenable when the United States ourselves would not enter into this kind of an agreement, right exactly exactly. So you know, I really think those of us. You're a journalist, I'm a minister, I'm a writer and a professor as well. Look, we are duty bound to tell people the truth. And I got to tell you we're living in

18:32 a time where truth is contraband. But I'm going to speak the truth that our nation. The greatest favor any president could ever do the American people is be a strong friend to the nation of Israel. Well, that goes back to the Abrahamic Covenant, right, and those who are blessed will be blessed, those who curse will be cursed. And you look back historically of the two hundred and what near fifty years of American history, when America has done well to and by Israel, it goes well for us. When we enter into things and try to force Israel and do something that's not in their best interest or that which has been mandated by God, we get in trouble.

19:15 And that's a fact, empirical evidence that there have been natural disasters on the hills consistently of our interference. I'm saying, our America's interference with you know, Israel's foreign policy or that land because that land belongs to Israel as given to them by God. Well, let me just say this, lest do anybody think that I'm speaking anecdotally or talking about something that's you know, really I can't substantiate. Shortly before Covid, I was in Israel with a group and we were on the Temple Mount And if you've been to the Temple Mount, you know it's it's really amazing. There's kind of this electricity in the air. I mean, under that gold Dome is the rock where Abraham, Abraham and Isaac went up on Mount Mariah and Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac, and it's just so beautiful. In the Word of God, it says God himself will provide the Lamb. And on that very same range of mountains, the Mountains of Mariah you can see slightly to the northwest, is another mountain called Calvary gold Gotha, where, yes, the Lamb of God was sacrificed for our salvation. I mean, it's just amazing. William Shakespeare wishes he could have written a story like this. We were on the Temple Mount and a group of about six I'm going to say there were college age Muslim

20:52 girls approached our tour group and they offered to hand us a little booklet and it was in a number of languages, but it was like how to become a Muslim. Now it's interesting, Hey, Bill, don't have time to tell you this little story? Can I have got we got we got time, I mean we this is the format of this TV show is such that we do have more time, So take your time, go ahead. So Sore, We're on the Temple Mount and it's very surreal. We're like ten feet away, standing near the mosque, and you know, so many thoughts are going through my mind about you know, Jesus and the biblical history here and the history of Israel, and you know, the Temple Mount is under Islamic control even though it's within the Old City of Jerusalem. So these girls approach us, and several are in burkas. You know, you can only see their eyes and black burkas. It's a blistering hot day. Anyway, she's just kind of a weird, surreal scene. So this girl hands us alid little booklet how to become a Muslim, and she says to me, and I quote she says, welcome to Jerusalem, the city of the Prophet Mohammed. And I looked around and I said, well, actually, historically it's not verified that Mohammed was ever in Jerusalem. How do you say Jerusalem is the city of the prophet Muhammed when actually the Jewish people were here thirty

22:22 five hundred years before the birth of Mohammad in five seventy one a d. Now I'm thinking, hey, if I'm going to get killed, I may as well get killed on the Temple mount based on the truth. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So anyway, my group and I was with an air Force colonel, I was with a pilot for a major airline. I was with some of the leadership of Focus on the Family. And our group is there and we're ten feet away from the Temple and the mosque rather and we're debating Islam versus Judaism. So the wildest thing I quote, and I'm sharing this story for the benefit of those that may be naive about the intent of the Palestinians, and the girl says to me, Bill, I'm not going to repeat it for batim because it's unrepeatable, but she basically was cursing and pronouncing anathemas over the Jewish people, right, And she said to me, all of this archaeology is false. She said, the archaeology was put here.

23:32 And here's what she said, my hand to God, and I'm quoting, she said, all of this archaeology was planted by those lying rats, the Jews. Now, before I finish the story, let me just say parenthetically, I've spent thirty five years writing twenty books, writing hundreds of journal articles. I've interviewed experts, liberal, conservative, Christian, non Christian, and I personally have visited seventy two sites in the Holy Land, and I've been in libraries on five continents. Bill, let me just say, one of the most well substantiated, well authenticated realities of the ancient world are the archaeological sites that validate the word of God but also validate the presence of Jewish people in the land of Israel from three millennia before the birth of Islam.

24:30 So, when this person on the Temple Mount said to me that it was all fake and planted, I mean, that's just ludicrous. That is literal, right, So she said, and I quote, and again we're having this conversation on the Temple Mount. She said, the Jews have no place here. The Jews must go live at the bottom of the sea. Now, that was a quote from Yasir Erafat in nineteen eighty fi for Arafat was in a media interview and the UN had really bullied Israel into giving up land for peace, which never works because the Palestinians never keep their promise. And somebody had asked, Yasir Arafat, you've got land, You've increased your land.

25:19 Is that what you want? And she said, and Airfat goes, what does the PLO want? We want Israel driven into the sea. And so the college girl on the Tiple Mount was merely parroting and repeating what Airfat had said. Now, why am I saying that since the October seventh attack on Israel and naive Western liberals are calling on Israel to ceasefire. You just don't understand Hamas and the PLO. They don't want a ceasefire. They want to exterminate a people that they do not acknowledge the Jewish right to exist.

26:00 Well, Golden my air. You know the last war that she was involved which ended up, you know, costing her position. But she said it quite clearly Alex and that was that if if Hamas or if the Palestinians were to drop their weapons, Israel would drop theirs and there would be peace. If Israel drops their weapons Hamas or Palestine, the Palestinians would come in and annihilate the Israelis. So that's that's the bottom line. And again, you know Yasir Arafat certified the doctrine you know, of the for the Palestinians and Hamas, and you know these these these antithical Arab interests who want to wipe out Israel. And it has been consistent. And he said basically when he was alive, that you had to get one hundred percent because there had been offerings almost ninety nine percent of what he wanted, but the one cent that wasn't going to happen was that Israel was going to be in the Zea right.

27:04 And he told he told the rest of his followers that if anybody should ever compromise less than one hundred percent with Israel over land, then they and their families should be murdered. Yeah. Yeah, it's very much a scorched earth mentality, isn't it. Yeah, it's nothing about coexistence. And to your whole point when we first started all this, and you and I've had this discussion before, is that we cannot cohabitate with people with this mindset anymore than Israel can cohabitate with them. Here in America, our constitution is in direct conflict with the principles and the tenets of Islam. And we're trying to, you know, with our modern intellect and somehow thinking that, you know, with our open minds, that somehow we're going to change thousands of years of ancient hatred. Yeah. And you know what's so sad is that the Islamic method of dealing with one's critics is murder and carnage. I mean, look at the French Charlie Hebdo the publication when a cartoonist, you know, drew a picture of Mohammed and then you know, Muslims went in the offices and shot up the place exactly. You know. Let me say, as a Christian, if people have made fun of me, I've got I get hate mails. Sometimes doesn't bother me. I mean, I want people to

28:37 know Christ. But listen, if someone wants to make fun of me or denigrate God, I'm sorry for that, but I'm certainly not going to resort to violence. Never would. I'll put it this way. And I said this in some interviews after nine to eleven because journalist would say, okay, what about the Crusades in the eleven hundreds, Well, something like the Crusades or Jim Jones or David Koresh that happened when professed Christians violated their scriptures.

29:17 Nine to eleven happened when Muslims followed their scriptures. It's a big difference. Yeah, exactly. A good point there. Well, Alex, we've got about twenty minutes left here, and I did want to address what's going on with the latest synod in Rome. The Vatican has announced this past week that they're going to allow blessings for homosexual unions, which is quite in contrast with what the Vatican's position has traditionally been, and that is that how can you bless sin? Yeah, well, Pope Francis has been a very Uncatholic pope. Let me say, and look, as a Protestant, don't bash Catholics.

30:00 I know a lot of Catholics that are born again. And my goodness, Cardinal John Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict the sixteenth he was a great pope, and I mean some of his books. I'm not going to take up all our time to talk about some of his books read like apologetics books. Well it is. The guy was brilliant. He's a total academic. You're exactly right and very orthodox Christian. But Pope friends, as you may recall about four or five years ago, said that atheists would go to heaven. He also said, profess Christians that vote for Donald Trump aren't Christian.

30:41 And so this is a social justice warrior pope who has very heretical theology. Now let me just say this. I was on a news interview yesterday and several people said, well, the idea that he said priest can bless gay unions, that's not really true. It's fake news. But look, Reuter's reported it, the Guardian, the Associated Press, and the Vatican News Office has not denied it. So I think it's very credible. But folks, let me just say, I don't care who you are, a theologian, an academic, or the papal seat of the Holy See. If you deny and contradict scripture, you're in the wrong. And Cope Francis is in the wrong on this. The word of God is clear, whosoever will may come and be saved. But marriage is between a man and a woman and gay coupling, that's not marriage, and it's nothing that a minister of Christ could or should ever bless exactly. Well, you know the uh it is going to uh no doubt cause an issue in the Catholic Church and uh and being raised Catholic myself, Alex, Uh, it grieves me to see you know,

32:12 what is happening here. And hopefully the Catholic Church responds to this because there needs to be you know, clarity. If if there's some misunderstanding, then speak now or forever hold your peace. Uh. But there has been a trajectory with this papacy that you know, lends some credibility and just makes you have some doubt that there is that possibility. The other thing is is uh that the Pope did that a lot of people are not aware of. Is he kind of he stacked the court, you know, in a way he did what the Democrats always wanted to do with the Supreme Court. They stacked it. He brought in a lot of liberal cardinals into the Synod that heretofore have not been represented, and he brought him in. He brought him in with voting power. So and I'm not talking about just a couple.

32:58 I mean we're talking I don't know, maybe four or five, five dozen brought in. So he's kind of packed the court in a way here to you know, to fulfill his agenda in his direction. But all that aside, Okay, this all comes under the serious uh the serious filefolder called apostasy. We know that in the end of days that this is what will happen. There will be a great apostasy. We're seeing, you know, traditional Protestant churches that are breaking up, and they're breaking up over uh, the the fracturing of apologetics, of the doctrine, the violation of traditional doctrinal agreement.

33:38 They're throwing it out the window. And you've got you've got these churches, uh that that are breaking up massively. And this is all part of the apostasy that we told that will happen. And guess what, it will continue. It's it's not going to just stop here. It's not just a one off kind of deal. Right, We're we're down that road where these churches are trying to assimilate into the culture and not be a catalyst for good, but to embrace the culture and not be the agent, that clarifying agent that the culture, the culture needs to have, and that God had created his church to do. You know, Bill, you mentioned apostasy, and that's true. The Greek word for apostasy is the same word for riot.

34:30 And folks, God has given the human race his word that's called the Bible, over and over and we could talk about this, Bill, you and I, as you know, we could do an entire show on why we believe that the Bible is indeed the word of God. I believe it. I believe Bible is God's word. I think compelling lines of evidence point to that, not the least of which is the words of Christ himself. And John ten thirty five, think about this. Jesus said the scripture cannot be broken, all right. Either he was right or he was wrong. So if you know, suddenly gay marriage, homosexual activity, suddenly that's okay.

35:16 Well, if it's now orthodox and true and okay, then that must mean that Jesus Christ was wrong. Yeah, he liked that's an impossibility. So, folks, it's going to take courage. And I want to say to anyone watching who may be a minister, or in a position of leadership, a Sunday school teacher, whomever. Look, we must stand with and really stand under the authority of God's word exactly. The opinion of human beings is ever changing. By the way, when I was in graduate school, I mindored in developmental psychology and we had a psych professor from UCLA Medical School.

35:58 This is twenty years ago. But here's the thing, folks. No one is born gay or transgender, same sex ideation, same sex attraction, or gender dysphoria. These are all mental leanings that come about through pain and abuse. So what's so sad is whether it be the apostate United Methodist Church, the apostate Catholic the wings of Catholicism that are apostate. Look, we're affirming something that is a a an emotional and mental and psychological problem, and homosexual activity. Read first First Corinthians, chapter six. Unrepentant homosexuals don't go to heaven right now, Alex sadil is is that? See, it's we can't we can't argue people into heaven, right And what you're sharing and I appreciate it so transparently and vulnerably and honestly is the word of God. But look at this is what we're saying. It's up to you to own your own truth. You know, God holds us responsible for So if there is something here that has said that challenges you, God bless you. That's awesome because what that's telling you is that you need to do a You need to do your own research and check into it for yourself. Right, Yeah, you

37:29 do, because especially if you're a leader, you've got to know what you stand on. There is no leader in history that can stand on less than solid ground and be effective. Yeah, in every generation, the church has to recommit itself to the authority of Scripture. There was a book some years ago a guy named Harold Linzil. It was a book called The Battle for the Bible. And do we love you? Of course, we love people, will do anything to help another a fellow human being, and will do anything we can to help show the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ. But SEUs Lewis said this. In the late sixties, it was published a compendium of Lewis's essays called God in the doc meaning the docket the court room.

38:17 In other words, God is on the witness stand guilty until proven innocent, and ce s Lewis in that book, there's a line he said that he stood against clergy who undermine and deny the very doctrines they were paid to uphold in the fold. That's important. And we, ministers and whomever listen, we will answer to God for how we handled known truth. And Bill. Yeah, I care about the country, I care about young people. I care about the souls of individuals. But I tremble when I think about the persons in authority that will one day face the Lord Almighty. And they denied, they spun, they twisted, they suppressed known truth. So let's all of us courageously but consistently proclaim what the Word of God says, and it says Jesus is the savior. Sin will destroy you, repent, believe, be saved exactly because He is the Way, the truth, and the life.

39:31 And this is what we must pursue in a culture right now that has twisted everything turned it upside down. We were warned in the Old Testament and the Book of Isaiah that we would come to a period of time when good would be called evil, evil would be called good sweet sours sour sweet, And here we are. I mean, we're living out the prophecy, are we not? Well? I think so. You know, it's interesting Ezekiel thirty eight and Psalm that's not hard to remember. Ezekiel thirty eight, Psalm eighty three. They talk about in the last Day, shortly before the return of Christ, that the nations of the Arabian Peninsula would fight Israel and Bill, you know, only God knows the end of time, but we very likely may be near, very close and near to the return of Jesus.

40:25 And we're definitely closer than we worry yesterday. There's no doubt. Every day we get closer to that. But like you said, alex A, there is a response that God is expecting from us with the signs, because it's not like we're going to be able to say, well, you didn't tell us, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean, we are going to be giving an account for what we did with known truth. The Bible says, man is without it. She's built. Every atheist deep down knows that God is real and every person in their heart you either have Christ or you need Christ. And so let me just say with all of the heartfelt sincerity and honesty that I can possibly convey Jesus is as close by as a prayer.

41:19 And folks, the greatest decision, the most consequential thing you'll ever do, is say, within your heart, say, dear Lord, I'm sorry for my sins, and I do believe that Jesus is the Son of God. He died on the cross for me. Dear Lord, save me, wash my sins away. Dear Lord, save my soul and make me your child. It's not so much the words, but the sincerity of your heart. Admit that you're a sinner. Believe in Jesus who died for you. First John five to one says, whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. And if you ask him now, I don't know.

42:00 I've had people ask me if I pray for this or that, will God do it. I'll tell you one prayer guaranteed to get answered in the affirmative. If you ask Jesus Christ to save your soul, he will do it. And maybe somebody's watching, and today is the day you need to make for sure. And by the way, if I could say on my own website alexmacfarlane dot com, there's a little tab says what does God, say about my relationship with him. You click that it'll explain how you can know with certainty that you are in right relationship with God and death whenever it comes. And we're mortal, we're all going to leave this world one day, but you can know you'll be with Christ in heaven. And so if you're unsure, make sure today well you know the reality of our world today is such that it is shaking us to the core. Alex, I think I've shared this with you before, you know. Time and again I observe people and I'm observing that they're looking up more often, and it's like, I want to ask, what are you looking for? I think instinctively they know the answer doesn't lie here in the temporal area of worldly governments, that it is God himself, and instinctively a part of them is telling them to look up, and this is perhaps they're appointed time. The prayer that you presented a moment ago is so critical because this could be life changing, This could

43:34 be eternally changing, an epic you know, for you, and as the Bible says, not only you, but your household as well, that you would be that shining light and example because as we know all of us who have gone through this, you know, through this experience. It is a night and day experience, right, Alex. I mean you definitely go, you go out one way, you come back and and people are looking at you, go, what the heck happened to you? Right? Yeah? You know, Bill, growing up as a kid, I was very very much intrigued by Harry Houdini and magic and things like that, and played with a Ouiji board and really dabbled in the occult from a young age. And then you know, my parents had a business and I'm ashamed to tell you, but I got it right with my dad. But I stole out of my dad's cash register. I'm very ashamed of that. But I thought I was too bad to be saved. And at twenty one, I heard the gospel that Jesus died for me. But I thought, you know, I'm unsavable. I dabbled in the occult, I had taken the Lord's name in vain, and I was I was convinced that there was no hope for me.

44:55 Bill. But I finally I began to read the Bible, and two verses that really changed my life in the Old Testament, in Isaiah one verse eighteen. The Bible says, come now, let us reason together, say it for the Lord. Though your sins are as scarlet, they can be as white as snow. And then finally I was reading John, the Gospel of John, and that's in the New Testament. Folks, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are like four kind of biographies of Jesus. But it says in John six point forty, whoever sees the sun son, that's Jesus. Whoever sees the sun and believes in him, will have everlasting life.

45:40 And I will raise you up at the last day. And I just threw myself before Christ. I said, dear Lord, I am a guilty sinner or I've done things that I don't even want to think about, but please wash my sins away. And Bill, my life was changed. That's been more than thirty years ago. Listen, folks, whatever you've done, Jesus will forgive if you ask him. And whatever has been done to you, Jesus can heal if you ask him. And so he is everything. Bill isn't a Jesus not only our savior, He's our life every moment of every day. Yeah, and Alex, you know when you've received this gift of salvation that Jesus paid the price for all of us for it is so life changing that you can't help but want it for everybody. Right, And this is our heart, and I hope people again are hearing our hearts and what we're saying, because here we are, we're in this magical season of Christmas and the Father giving us the ultimate gift in his son. He came from heaven to earth to bring us back home to save, to save a world of sin in and he faithfully fulfilled his mission. And it's up to us and the church to play its role as well. Alex, And you know, I can't thank you enough for coming on the show. And we've

47:13 got a couple of minutes left here, and I just want to touch on briefly because we did mention that we were going to talk about planned parenthood. How they've been caught stealing taxpayer dollars through COVID small business loans. We shouldn't be surprised, should we, No, Because look, if you will consent and even advocate the killing of a baby, you'll do anything. Look, I mean that's why. Look sin is sin. I know that, but I've got to believe that the killing of the unborn, a precious human life made in the image of God, a life ordained by God. To kill a baby and then to politically maneuver so that there's no legal protection for the unborn, that has got to be the most heinous of sins. And here's the thing people ask me. Back during the Clinton years, I was speaking at a college and they were saying, what Bill Clinton does in his private life is his business, and I said, no, Look, if you'll backstab your spouse, I wouldn't put anything past you. Exactly. If Bill Clinton would betray his wife, then Heaven help the rest of us. And in a similar way, look, if somebody will advocate the killing of a baby, then of course they'll steal a PPP loan. Yes exactly. I

48:45 mean there is no moral compass there make gods. Yeah, well, Alex, I mean think about this, what nation do you know? I don't know of any nation in the history of the world that has survived the murdering of their Yeah, now, I don't know of one. Well, the Bible says if you sow to the wind, you'll reap a whirlwind. It's interesting that social security is about to go broke. It's interesting that families, you know, the sociologists put an article out this morning Bill about the extinction of cousins. Now, why do people not have cousins anymore? Why are their kids growing up? They don't even know what cousins are because people aren't having kids. And seventy five, roughly million American citizens have been killed in utero since nineteen seventy three. Well, add the chemical abortion, now you're over one hundred million. Yeah. So Ohio has made it part of their constitution in the state of al Hio. And see our declaration, constitution and Bill of Rights says that we have a God given right to life. And so the number of illegals coming in is roughly the same as the number of American citizens that don't exist because we murdered them in uter row. Folks, we need a God sized miracle to turn this country around. And our loss

50:21 of a moral compass, the corruption, the cancer set in the day that we decided it was okay to murder the unborn and to go against God, no doubt about it, Doctor Alex McFarlane, we got to leave it there, my friend, Merry Christmas to you, a happy New Year again. We appreciate your heart and your insight and your time to come on the show and share with us. You take care of buddy, all right. I'll bless you, my friend. Thank you so much. God bless you.
