Hello, and thank you for listening to the

00:11

Testing the Spirits podcast. In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the subject of depopulation, and I want to compare that agenda to what the

00:20

Bible says. So I've titled this episode Climate Change and the Four Horsemen of the

00:26

Apocalypse, because the United Nations, along with the World Economic Forum, along with most governments these days, they want to reduce the

00:37

Earth's population, and they're very open about that. Their whole argument is that there are too many human beings on the

00:45

Earth. Human beings destroy the environment, so unless we reduce our carbon footprint, unless we lower the

00:53

Earth's population, global warming, you know, man -made climate change, it's going to destroy planet

01:00

Earth. That's what they're saying. This is partially why, and it's not the only reason, but it's partially why

01:07

Planned Parenthood, the homosexual agenda, abortion, trans surgeries for kids, that's why the government and world governments are pushing those things so hard, because they all prevent childbirth.

01:22

And if they're all implemented all over the world, it will reduce, at least to some degree, the population.

01:29

So that's part of their strategy. And even if you don't agree with that stuff, there are many

01:35

Christians who are still of the mindset that, yes, there are too many people on the

01:41

Earth, or it would be a good thing to lower the population. I mean, obviously, you don't want to do that in a generation, because the only way you could do that is if there was mass death and catastrophe, and obviously nobody's going to come out and say they want that.

01:57

But really, if you think about it, the only way the Earth's population could be significantly lowered is if hundreds of millions of people or billions died, while at the same time, people are prevented, or at least heavily discouraged through laws and policies, discouraged or prevented from reproducing.

02:19

I mean, that's the only way it can happen. This is just basic math, because even with Planned Parenthood and all the things

02:25

I just mentioned, the world's population only continues to increase. So it's not just the governments that are pushing for this.

02:33

It's not just the World Economic Forum. It's also religious leaders from Hinduism and Buddhism, where they believe that people are reincarnated and come back as plants or animals.

02:46

So if that's the case, we need to protect the animals. They're just as important as we are.

02:53

That's a pantheistic view. It's very common, even among some professing

02:58

Christians, maybe in the liberal, progressive churches. Hey, I grew up in Massachusetts.

03:05

I know the socialist types. I mean, this is really how they feel, that man is the problem.

03:11

OK, so people who attend these rainbow churches, I mean, they will say things like mankind is a disease.

03:18

Man is the problem. And they really do think that the Earth's population should be, what, cut in half, greatly reduced.

03:26

We have to do this. And you see this from Hollywood actors, people on TV, celebrities, government officials.

03:35

They say that we have to do something. We have to do this in order to save planet Earth. And if that were true, if they really believe that, and I don't know if they really believe it or not, but if you truly believe that.

03:48

You would be able to justify in your own mind just about anything if it means saving planet

03:55

Earth. I mean, let's face it, saving the whales or saving the spotted owl, that just didn't really catch on.

04:02

But saving the Earth because of climate change? Yeah. If that were true, if they really believe it, what wouldn't they do to save the world?

04:14

It's kind of scary when you think about it that way. Now, as a pastor, here is where my mind goes automatically.

04:21

I think to myself, OK, what does the Bible say? Genesis 128 says, be fruitful and multiply, fill the

04:28

Earth and subdue it. So this is what God has said to mankind, fill the

04:33

Earth. So obviously the Bible, what God says directly contradicts this agenda.

04:40

And the Bible does talk about a time, speaking of depopulation, the Bible does talk about a time when the

04:47

Earth's population is going to be greatly reduced. It's called the Great Tribulation.

04:52

In the book of Revelation, chapter six, we read about the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

04:59

The context is this. Jesus has a scroll that is sealed with seven wax seals.

05:06

The scroll represents, you could say, the title deed of the Earth. So Jesus, who is called the

05:12

Lamb, he is the only one who has the authority to open the seals.

05:17

And by doing so, he is judging planet Earth. Revelation chapter six, verse one, the apostle

05:24

John writes, Now I saw when Jesus, the Lamb, opened one of the seals.

05:29

I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, come and see.

05:35

And I looked and behold, a white horse. This is the first horseman.

05:41

Behold, a white horse. And he who sat on it had a bow and a crown was given to him.

05:47

And he went out conquering and to conquer. So these are the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

05:54

Rider number one, the man on the white horse who goes out to conquer, right? He's conquering the world.

06:00

This is the man we know as the beast or the Antichrist. When he appears on the scene, the

06:06

Earth will quickly enter into a great time of warfare. Verse three, when he opened the second seal,

06:14

I heard the second living creature saying, come and see. And another horse, fiery red, went out and it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the

06:23

Earth and that people should kill one another. And there was given to him a great sword.

06:30

So horse number one is the rise of the Antichrist. He goes out to conquer. Horse number two is world war, most likely

06:38

World War III. Verse five says, when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, come and see.

06:46

So I looked and behold, a black horse and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

06:53

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, a quart of wheat for a denarius and three quarts of barley for a denarius.

07:02

But do not harm the oil and the wine. So this is famine, which is usually the result of warfare.

07:11

The oil and the wine not being touched probably speaks of how this will only affect the poor since the wealthy, you know, the rich ruling class, the elites, they actually benefit from warfare oftentimes.

07:25

So they might benefit, you know, the oil and the wine, it doesn't touch them, but the poor suffer.

07:33

So the Antichrist with the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the Antichrist comes on the scene.

07:39

There is great warfare, world war, there is famine. And the result is the fourth horseman where a quarter of the earth's population dies.

07:49

Revelation chapter six, verse seven says, when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, come and see.

07:58

So I looked and behold a pale horse and the name of him who sat on it was death and hell followed him and power was given to them over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword, with hunger, with death and by the beasts of the earth.

08:17

So a quarter of the population dies. What are we talking about? Depopulation, right?

08:23

Revelation chapter six, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, a quarter of the earth's population is killed or they die from famine.

08:35

Then in Revelation chapter nine of those who remain, a third of the population at that point is then killed.

08:44

And it keeps going down from there. And it says about the people of the earth, even though they realize that God is judging the world, it says that they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

09:00

Now you could argue that some of the things that people are doing right now, some of the behaviors, the policies to lower the earth's population, their strategy, the things they are doing, these are the same things that will bring on the judgment of God.

09:18

So the irony is that in some sense, what they're doing, it actually might work, just not the way they think, because they are not going to save the planet.

09:28

In fact, the Bible teaches a different kind of climate change, a different kind of global warming.

09:35

Second Peter three says that the heavens will pass away with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat.

09:44

Both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

09:50

So long story short, fossil fuels are not the problem. How big your carbon footprint is, that's not the issue.

10:00

Besides, we know the people who push that stuff, whether it's Al Gore or Hollywood actors, what do they do?

10:08

They fly in private jets. They own multiple mansions. I mean, their carbon footprint is far larger than anyone else's.

10:16

So you question whether or not they really believe it. I personally think they understand these are the policies.

10:24

This is how you get socialism in the United States through these policies. You know, that's all part of the playbook and how to take over.

10:32

But either way, what we need to realize as Christians is that depopulation, it will happen.

10:41

Jesus is coming back and he will judge this world. He isn't going to allow this to go on forever.

10:49

Jesus is coming back. He will judge the earth. Now, some believe some

10:55

Christians believe in a pre -tribulation rapture so that Christians will not be here for the tribulation.

11:01

I am certainly hoping for that. Others think that Christians will have to endure the tribulation period.

11:09

Either way, what's important is, are you ready and are you ready to meet

11:14

God? Right. This is the ultimate question for everyone. Are you ready to meet

11:20

God? As soon as the tribulation starts, remember, it begins with the rise of the

11:25

Antichrist, the rider on the white horse. He will appear to be a great man who has all the solutions.

11:32

As I talked about in a previous podcast, he will convince the nations to give their authority to him.

11:39

He will seek to establish a one world government, a one world religion, and a one world economic system.

11:47

If history tells us anything, in order for people to give one man that kind of authority, there will have to be such a crisis, such a crisis event that people and nations feel like that's their only option.

12:03

Maybe they feel desperate and he has seems to have the solution. So they, in that moment of desperation or spiritual deception, both probably will give him all authority.

12:15

So with that said, we need to be on guard for such a crisis. Remember back, you say, well, that, uh, that could never happen.

12:23

Probably a few, very few people would say that because we all remember just a few years ago in 2020, in a matter of days, everything on earth changed.

12:36

It will happen again. And it might be a lot sooner than most people realize.

12:43

So what should our response be to these things? Number one, if you're not a Christian, you need to become a

12:48

Christian today. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.

12:54

Believe that he died on the cross for your sin and rose again the third day. The scripture says all who call upon the name of the

13:03

Lord shall be saved. That's number one. Number two, if you already know Christ, here is what the rest of second

13:10

Peter three says, I'll close with this. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire and the elements will melt with fervent heat.

13:33

Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

13:43

So believe in the Lord and live for the Lord. Amen. Amen. Thanks for listening.
