WEBVTT 00:00:02.849 --> 00:00:05.730 Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith 00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:08.470 to Live By. I'm Pam Christian, your host of this 00:00:08.470 --> 00:00:11.189 weekly podcast, where I seek to help us understand 00:00:11.189 --> 00:00:13.849 current world events from a biblical and prophetic 00:00:13.849 --> 00:00:16.670 perspective. My regular listeners will agree 00:00:16.670 --> 00:00:20.809 I explore world happenings without over sensationalizing 00:00:20.809 --> 00:00:24.370 or claiming doom and gloom or being any sort 00:00:24.370 --> 00:00:27.449 of an alarmist. And I promise to maintain that 00:00:27.449 --> 00:00:31.370 same standard with today's podcast. where I must 00:00:31.370 --> 00:00:35.250 address events that have the potential of escalating 00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:40.109 into World War III. Events in Iran and escalating 00:00:40.109 --> 00:00:42.929 events concerning the entire Western world are 00:00:42.929 --> 00:00:45.770 my topics today, with my guest Michael Steger 00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:49.170 from Promethean Action bringing us an understanding 00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:51.850 as to how the United States has been brought 00:00:51.850 --> 00:00:56.130 by God into power today. Last week I announced 00:00:56.130 --> 00:00:58.670 I planned on bringing more insights about the 00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:01.289 extent of evil revealed from the Epstein files 00:01:01.289 --> 00:01:04.310 from the perspective of a woman named Max Lowe, 00:01:04.709 --> 00:01:08.790 who personally lived subjected to child sex trafficking 00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:12.689 and satanic ritual abuse. I did contact her through 00:01:12.689 --> 00:01:15.090 her website, but I've not yet heard back, and 00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:17.549 I will still make sure we are enlightened on 00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:20.430 that topic. But today I will take us in a different 00:01:20.430 --> 00:01:22.989 direction to understand the battle of good and 00:01:22.989 --> 00:01:27.450 evil that we, the ecclesia, must rise up against. 00:01:28.450 --> 00:01:31.010 First and foremost, we must understand we are 00:01:31.010 --> 00:01:34.030 living in the days of prophecy fulfilled. God 00:01:34.030 --> 00:01:36.489 has been saying, and I have been sharing, what 00:01:36.489 --> 00:01:39.049 his modern -day prophets have been saying about 00:01:39.049 --> 00:01:41.870 how all the evil in the world is being exposed 00:01:41.870 --> 00:01:45.569 for the purposes of our seeing God overcome it 00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:49.060 as he works through his people. Clearly, the 00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:51.239 ancient spiritual battle between good and evil 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.599 is greatly intensified in our day. The evil includes 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.120 the ancient spirit of Persia, which operates 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.019 in the area of the world centered in modern -day 00:02:01.019 --> 00:02:04.920 Iran, and includes the ancient spirit of Babylon, 00:02:05.299 --> 00:02:07.579 which operates in the area that is current -day 00:02:07.579 --> 00:02:12.319 Iraq. The Prince of Persia was and is an especially 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.500 powerful evil entity assigned to the Persian 00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:18.340 Empire. At its height, which would have been 00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:23.860 550 to 331 BCE, the First Persian Empire covered 00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:26.960 a massive area stretching from the Balkan Peninsula 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.120 in Europe to the Indus Valley in India. It was 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.099 centered in modern -day Iran and included all 00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:39.379 or parts of modern -day Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:45.680 Syria, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Armenia, Georgia, 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.099 Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts 00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:54.199 of Central Asia. In Daniel chapter 10, we learn 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.099 the Prince of Persia is a powerful spiritual 00:02:57.099 --> 00:03:01.000 force opposing God's purpose that required the 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.360 intervention from Archangel Michael, giving us 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.560 insight to the spiritual battle of that day. 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.919 Everything that happens in the spiritual is manifest 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.710 in the natural. So as we read in Daniel, in response 00:03:14.710 --> 00:03:18.110 to the evil efforts, God stirred the spirit of 00:03:18.110 --> 00:03:21.050 King Cyrus to allow the Jews to rebuild their 00:03:21.050 --> 00:03:24.150 temple. This was in fulfillment of multiple prophecies 00:03:24.150 --> 00:03:27.349 spoken some 100 to 150 years before the birth 00:03:27.349 --> 00:03:30.530 of King Cyrus, mostly from the book of Isaiah. 00:03:31.069 --> 00:03:34.030 The prophecies revealed God would come to the 00:03:34.030 --> 00:03:37.590 aid of his people through a king. This was a 00:03:37.590 --> 00:03:43.099 reality then. it is also our reality today. Haven't 00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:46.500 you heard people claim President Trump is a modern 00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:49.819 -day King Cyrus who is being directed by God 00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:53.659 to rescue God's people from evil today? Given 00:03:53.659 --> 00:03:55.680 what is happening through the joint efforts of 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.580 the United States and Israel in the Middle East, 00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:01.460 especially at this particular time on the calendar, 00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:05.580 is fulfillment of prophecy in our day that is 00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:09.750 undeniable? God's people, or the Church actually 00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:13.490 better stated the Ecclesia, has always been tasked 00:04:13.490 --> 00:04:17.149 with the duty to overcome evil. In addition to 00:04:17.149 --> 00:04:19.949 the examples of evil being overcome in the time 00:04:19.949 --> 00:04:23.410 of Daniel and King Cyrus, I ask you to consider 00:04:23.410 --> 00:04:27.009 the fall of the Roman Empire. It was Christianity 00:04:27.009 --> 00:04:30.709 that rose up to overcome the evil of that day, 00:04:31.050 --> 00:04:33.050 which was not only victorious throughout the 00:04:33.050 --> 00:04:36.839 Roman Empire, but was the impetus for the foundation 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.779 and establishment of civilized nations throughout 00:04:39.779 --> 00:04:44.199 the entire western hemisphere. A quick AI research 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.800 revealed, quote, Christianity contributed to 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.579 the overturn of the Roman Empire by undermining 00:04:50.579 --> 00:04:53.759 traditional Roman polytheism, weakening the divine 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.480 authority of the emperor, and shifting loyalty 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.060 from the state to a new religious hierarchy. 00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:02.740 It transformed Roman culture, creating internal 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:05.980 tensions, challenging social structures, and 00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:09.319 ultimately replacing the pagan state religion." 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.279 End quote. By now, the whole world knows the 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.199 United States and Israel have joined forces against 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.819 Iran to enforce the entirely non -negotiable 00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:24.259 matter of Iran having any nuclear arms. Most 00:05:24.259 --> 00:05:26.420 of you know I don't like to discuss current headline 00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:29.740 news without some historical context, so that's 00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:33.120 what I'll first provide. If you recall, June 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.000 2025 was the first time when Israel and the United 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.240 States bombed three of Iran's nuclear facilities, 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.639 bringing to Iran the biggest attack on the country's 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.360 soil since the 1980s. In response, that same 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.060 month of June 2025, Reza Pahlavi, the son of 00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:53.180 Iran's last Shah, gave a speech proclaiming the 00:05:53.180 --> 00:06:02.879 Islamic Republic's end was near. Together, Iranians 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.639 would build a better country, free of tyranny. 00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:09.480 Imagine this new Iran, he said, a free and democratic 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.800 Iran, living at peace with our neighbors, an 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:17.639 engine of growth and opportunity." Even though 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.699 Pallavi has been in exile for almost five decades, 00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:23.680 in recent years he's become increasingly vocal 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.860 and increasingly insistent that he should lead 00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:29.939 any pivot. I am stepping forward to lead this 00:06:29.939 --> 00:06:33.800 national transition, Pallavi said. I have a clear 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.779 plan. Pallavi was positioning himself in response 00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:40.480 to President Trump revealing he is open to taking 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.230 down the entire regime. If the current Iranian 00:06:44.230 --> 00:06:47.529 regime is unable to make Iran great again, why 00:06:47.529 --> 00:06:50.850 wouldn't there be a regime change? Make Iran 00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:53.889 great again! exclamation point he wrote in a 00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:57.649 Sunday social media post. It was unclear how 00:06:57.649 --> 00:07:00.529 Trump wanted that regime change to occur, by 00:07:00.529 --> 00:07:03.529 further American military involvement or by an 00:07:03.529 --> 00:07:07.170 organic uprising of disaffected Iranians. From 00:07:07.170 --> 00:07:10.949 the summer months leading to December 2025, life 00:07:10.949 --> 00:07:14.129 for the citizens of Iran became unbearable as 00:07:14.129 --> 00:07:16.370 I shared on previous podcasts beginning with 00:07:16.370 --> 00:07:20.529 podcast number 291. With that podcast I said 00:07:20.529 --> 00:07:23.920 quote, December 2025 resulted in the largest 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.660 wave of protests to hit the nation since the 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:30.600 1979 Islamic Revolution. The protesters were 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.120 heard chanting for the regime change, which was 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.399 met with deadly force from their tyrannical government, 00:07:36.779 --> 00:07:40.519 with an estimated total of very close to 4 ,000 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:45.339 killed, 2 ,107 injured with very serious wounds, 00:07:45.339 --> 00:07:51.660 and a total of 24 ,669 protesters arrested This 00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:55.220 is a most egregious reality. It is reported that 00:07:55.220 --> 00:07:57.519 Christianity is the fastest growing faith in 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.519 Iran, meaning Iran, like Syria, has become a 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.740 place of tremendous Christian persecution. Syria's 00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:07.600 Christians have faced severe persecutions, violence, 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.699 and discrimination, particularly since their 00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:15.079 2011 civil war with Islamist groups like ISIS 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.490 targeting them with massacres, forced conversions, 00:08:18.930 --> 00:08:21.689 and destruction of churches, leading to a significant 00:08:21.689 --> 00:08:24.910 decline in their population as many flee, and 00:08:24.910 --> 00:08:27.970 those who remain being subjected to extreme insecurity 00:08:27.970 --> 00:08:32.049 and an uncertain future. Now still quoting from 00:08:32.049 --> 00:08:36.070 episode 291, I said, with understanding, the 00:08:36.070 --> 00:08:39.549 Iranian people were willing to fight for a regime 00:08:39.549 --> 00:08:43.379 change more than once. President Trump announced 00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:45.659 he would be sending help for the people of Iran, 00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:48.679 which greatly impassioned them. Then January 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.659 16th, apparently based on a report that Iran 00:08:51.659 --> 00:08:54.139 had cancelled their planned executions of protesters 00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:57.879 and based on pressure from regional allies, President 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.559 Trump refrained from ordering strikes against 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.710 the Islamic Republic. However, I don't think 00:09:03.710 --> 00:09:05.850 that means President Trump is doing nothing. 00:09:06.409 --> 00:09:09.429 We know the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier 00:09:09.429 --> 00:09:12.990 is in transit from Asia to the Middle East at 00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:17.620 this very time." End quote. Now specific to today's 00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:22.620 podcast, I learned in February 2026, before the 00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:26.139 United States -Israel attack on Iran, the Council 00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:29.840 on Foreign Relations wrote, quote, Iran is at 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.539 the cusp of historic transition. The Islamic 00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:36.179 Republic, the regime, established after Iran's 00:09:36.179 --> 00:09:39.940 1979 revolution is reeling from dramatic reversals 00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:43.200 to its regional posture and nuclear program, 00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:46.279 as well as repeated public uprisings against 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.980 the regime that have only been suppressed by 00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:53.799 violent mass repression. At 86 years old, Iran's 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.960 supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.340 Middle East's longest -serving head of state. 00:09:59.610 --> 00:10:03.830 His almost 37 years in power cemented the unique 00:10:03.830 --> 00:10:06.870 dominance of his office and expanded Iran's influence 00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:11.549 across the region. His ouster, death, or incapacitation 00:10:11.549 --> 00:10:14.350 will precipitate only the second leadership change 00:10:14.350 --> 00:10:17.570 in Iran since the regime's establishment nearly 00:10:17.570 --> 00:10:21.370 50 years ago, and its implications will reverberate 00:10:21.370 --> 00:10:24.690 across the Middle East and around the world." 00:10:24.690 --> 00:10:28.190 End quote. Again that was in February before 00:10:28.190 --> 00:10:31.470 the attack. President Trump has always been clear 00:10:31.470 --> 00:10:33.850 he has no intentions of the United States leading 00:10:33.850 --> 00:10:37.029 a regime change in Iran. Instead he has consistently 00:10:37.029 --> 00:10:40.690 encouraged the people of Iran to do so for themselves. 00:10:41.190 --> 00:10:44.870 This military action of February 28th was done 00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:47.970 for the sake of the citizens of Iran, the entire 00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:51.070 region of the Middle East, and for the entire 00:10:51.070 --> 00:10:54.850 world. I recently learned China supplied Iran 00:10:54.850 --> 00:10:57.950 with missiles. due to what's called strategic 00:10:57.950 --> 00:11:01.490 alliances Iran has with Russia and China, we 00:11:01.490 --> 00:11:03.950 need to pray against those transitioning into 00:11:03.950 --> 00:11:07.649 military alliances. I also learned on Monday 00:11:07.649 --> 00:11:10.529 that the Iran -backed organization Hezbollah 00:11:10.529 --> 00:11:13.730 has joined the war firing rockets and drones 00:11:13.730 --> 00:11:16.649 at Israel leading to major retaliatory strikes 00:11:16.649 --> 00:11:19.629 that reportedly resulted in the idea of killing 00:11:19.629 --> 00:11:22.590 the head of Hezbollah's intelligence in Beirut 00:11:22.590 --> 00:11:26.409 headquarters. without taking time to review the 00:11:26.409 --> 00:11:29.110 events of weeks and weeks of efforts by President 00:11:29.110 --> 00:11:31.789 Trump to have meaningful and successful negotiations 00:11:31.789 --> 00:11:35.250 with the leaders of the IRCG that never happened, 00:11:35.629 --> 00:11:38.629 or taking the time about the quiet yet unprecedented 00:11:38.629 --> 00:11:41.809 military deployment of both water and aircrafts 00:11:41.809 --> 00:11:44.730 in areas surrounding Iran, demonstrating President 00:11:44.730 --> 00:11:47.590 Trump's commitment for Iran never to have nuclear 00:11:47.590 --> 00:11:50.929 weapon capabilities, or without taking the time 00:11:51.179 --> 00:11:54.860 to discuss the Supreme IRCG leader Ayatollah 00:11:54.860 --> 00:11:57.480 Ali Khamenei along with at least seven other 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.240 top officials including the second highest in 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.620 command among the reported 40 killed as of March 00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:09.159 2nd, 2026. Suffice it to say the whole world 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.639 is holding its breath. This conflict is expected 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.039 to continue and how it plays out remains to be 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.039 seen. On March 2nd, I learned President Trump 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.320 addressed the world expressing this particular 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.519 military operation targeting the Iranian regime 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.539 is a necessary duty and burden of free people 00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:34.840 to eliminate the nuclear threat of Iran. You 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.019 can watch the entire video released from the 00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:39.080 White House using the link in the show notes. 00:12:39.850 --> 00:12:42.690 Roughly quoting part of his speech, the president 00:12:42.690 --> 00:12:45.669 spoke on behalf of America and Israel stating, 00:12:45.950 --> 00:12:48.769 quote, We cannot allow a nation that has become 00:12:48.769 --> 00:12:51.429 the world's number one state sponsor of terror 00:12:51.429 --> 00:12:54.990 and aggressively raises terrorist armies to possess 00:12:54.990 --> 00:12:57.870 nuclear weapons that would allow them to extort 00:12:57.870 --> 00:13:01.309 the world to their evil will. We're not going 00:13:01.309 --> 00:13:04.129 to let that happen. It's not happening to us 00:13:04.129 --> 00:13:06.190 and we're not going to let it happen to others. 00:13:06.549 --> 00:13:08.710 We're undertaking this massive operation not 00:13:08.710 --> 00:13:11.110 merely to ensure security for our own time and 00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:14.129 place, but for our children and their children, 00:13:14.570 --> 00:13:17.029 just as our ancestors have done for us many, 00:13:17.149 --> 00:13:20.450 many years ago. These actions are right and they 00:13:20.450 --> 00:13:22.950 are necessary to ensure Americans will never 00:13:22.950 --> 00:13:26.009 have to face a radical, bloodthirsty terrorist 00:13:26.009 --> 00:13:29.629 regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of 00:13:29.629 --> 00:13:32.669 threats. This military operation will continue 00:13:32.669 --> 00:13:36.169 until all our objectives are achieved. I call 00:13:36.169 --> 00:13:39.529 upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom 00:13:39.529 --> 00:13:43.789 to seize this moment, to be brave, be bold, be 00:13:43.789 --> 00:13:47.250 heroic, and take back your own country. I made 00:13:47.250 --> 00:13:49.730 a promise to you, and I fulfilled that promise. 00:13:50.090 --> 00:13:52.850 The rest will be up to you, but we'll be here 00:13:52.850 --> 00:13:58.320 to help you. America is with you." Already videos 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.080 are circulating of the people of Iran in different 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.940 cities across the country celebrating in the 00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:07.879 streets. Israeli authorities and Iran state media 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.899 have confirmed the deaths of key Iranian defense 00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:14.100 officials and nuclear development figures. The 00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:17.279 United States military sank nine Iranian Navy 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.799 ships and essentially destroyed its naval headquarters. 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.720 The United States and Israeli forces struck more 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.720 than 1 ,000 targets. Five Persian Gulf nations 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.639 that host US military installations claim they 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.899 have shot down more than 1 ,500 Iranian missiles 00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:37.080 and drones, and the leaders of three Western 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.220 European powers have united in expressing their 00:14:40.220 --> 00:14:43.019 intention to assist the United States and its 00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:46.960 allies in stopping Iran's retaliatory missiles 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:51.549 and drones. As of March 2nd, sadly, six American 00:14:51.549 --> 00:14:54.230 service members have been killed and five more 00:14:54.230 --> 00:14:57.409 seriously wounded, while four Israelis were killed 00:14:57.409 --> 00:15:00.649 and another moderately hurt by Iran's relentless 00:15:00.649 --> 00:15:05.230 barrages at civilian targets. About the American 00:15:05.230 --> 00:15:19.190 casualties, President Trump said, we pray for 00:15:19.190 --> 00:15:21.970 the full recovery of the wounded and send our 00:15:21.970 --> 00:15:24.429 immense love and eternal gratitude to the families 00:15:24.429 --> 00:15:28.289 of the fallen. America will avenge their deaths 00:15:28.289 --> 00:15:31.690 and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists 00:15:31.690 --> 00:15:36.309 who have waged war basically against civilization." 00:15:36.309 --> 00:15:41.049 End quote. As of today, President Trump has agreed 00:15:41.049 --> 00:15:44.529 to open discussions with Iran's newly established 00:15:44.529 --> 00:15:47.429 leadership following the death of their supreme 00:15:47.429 --> 00:15:51.320 leader. In my opinion, negotiating with terrorists 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.480 who as a group have raised generations of terrorists 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.519 filled with hatred, bent on killing and destroying 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:01.059 the entire Western world, will never produce 00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:03.960 long -lasting results. We need to understand 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.639 there is an ancient spirit ruling these terrorists, 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.059 the same ancient spirit that influenced Haman 00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:15.019 in the days of Esther. Just as it was for God's 00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:18.600 people in Esther's day, our task is to seek God 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.600 to help us subdue evil and increase God's kingdom 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.139 will on earth, actually preparing the way for 00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:30.679 Christ's return. How the Bible instructs us to 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.379 prepare the world for Christ's return is a topic 00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:36.240 I plan to cover in the very near future. And 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.740 trust me, it's not by being passive in the face 00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:43.419 of evil. We can expect this conflict to continue 00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:46.659 for at least several days. In the meantime, let 00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:49.860 us pray with decrees and declarations for the 00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:52.620 people of Iran to have the strategy, ability, 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.860 and resources to establish their own preferred 00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:58.519 government, that it will be a highly successful 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.419 mission honoring the martyrs who have given their 00:17:01.419 --> 00:17:05.500 lives for freedom from tyranny, for minimal additional 00:17:05.500 --> 00:17:08.700 loss of life, for it to be a very short -term 00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:12.309 mission, for the ripple effect of all of this 00:17:12.309 --> 00:17:14.670 to provide the trajectory for Christianity to 00:17:14.670 --> 00:17:18.289 once again overcome evil and restore God's plans 00:17:18.289 --> 00:17:23.210 and purposes for the entire world. Amen. The 00:17:23.210 --> 00:17:26.170 day this podcast will first post is March 4th, 00:17:26.170 --> 00:17:28.630 immediately following the Jewish feast of Purim, 00:17:29.029 --> 00:17:32.029 which was from sundown March 2nd to sundown March 00:17:32.029 --> 00:17:35.730 3rd. In light of Purim, I want to play a recording 00:17:35.730 --> 00:17:38.569 from Amanda Grace posted on February 28th of 00:17:38.569 --> 00:17:41.589 2026 which includes a prophecy she published 00:17:41.589 --> 00:17:51.450 late December 2025. Hello everyone Amanda Grace 00:17:51.450 --> 00:17:54.069 here. This is an urgent prophetic alert. The 00:17:54.069 --> 00:17:56.329 U .S. and Israel have announced they have launched 00:17:56.329 --> 00:18:01.029 a joint attack on Iran in major combat operations 00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:04.569 that President Trump confirmed Saturday. on Truth 00:18:04.569 --> 00:18:08.119 Social. The U .S. and Israel have launched these 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.039 attacks on the heels of Purim 2026, which is 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.380 marked by a blood moon, which begins March 2nd 00:18:13.380 --> 00:18:16.099 at sundown and goes into March 3rd. Purim having 00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:18.400 to do with the Book of Esther in the Bible, which 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.940 is based in Persia, which is Iran, which is the 00:18:21.940 --> 00:18:23.859 decrees of destruction the wicked put out against 00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:26.440 the people of God, reversing upon the senders 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.480 and destroying the wicked. This attack is going 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.380 to last at least days. It will go right into 00:18:32.380 --> 00:18:34.940 Purim and align. This is incredibly prophetic 00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:37.509 and biblical. timeline we are watching unfold 00:18:37.509 --> 00:18:39.829 in the earth right now. Let me read to the word 00:18:39.829 --> 00:18:43.349 of the Lord from December 29th, 2025. As they 00:18:43.349 --> 00:18:45.509 secretly make dark deals to keep their seats, 00:18:46.369 --> 00:18:49.109 the scandal that coils over shall intensify in 00:18:49.109 --> 00:18:51.109 order to bring forth a standard of accountability, 00:18:51.130 --> 00:18:53.710 says the Lord, against corrupt agents who are 00:18:53.710 --> 00:18:55.829 tethered to the kingdom of darkness and groups 00:18:55.829 --> 00:18:58.430 who funnel terror, says the Lord. You shall watch 00:18:58.430 --> 00:19:01.150 this unfold with a January of jeers, says the 00:19:01.150 --> 00:19:03.390 Lord. The enemy may attempt to cause fear to 00:19:03.390 --> 00:19:06.460 open gates, However, I the Lord shall cause jeers 00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:08.799 at those who are involved in such acts, says 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:12.440 the Lord. A January of justice, says the Lord, 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:16.500 shall lead to a ferocious February setting up 00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:20.339 for a Roar, R -O -A -R, in March, says the Lord. 00:19:20.750 --> 00:19:23.470 This is the last day of February today, and the 00:19:23.470 --> 00:19:25.410 United States and Israel have launched this attack 00:19:25.410 --> 00:19:28.309 on Iran, and it will go into March and go into 00:19:28.309 --> 00:19:31.349 Purim. The Lord said of Ferocious February setting 00:19:31.349 --> 00:19:34.529 up for a roar in March. Now listen to what these 00:19:34.529 --> 00:19:38.730 two operations are named. February 20th, 2026, 00:19:38.809 --> 00:19:40.789 Israel and the United States launched a joint 00:19:40.789 --> 00:19:44.329 attack on various cities in Iran. The operation 00:19:44.329 --> 00:19:47.910 for the U .S. was Epic Fury, like Ferocious, 00:19:48.089 --> 00:19:53.119 and Israel named the operation roaring lion. 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:57.660 Operation epic fury and roaring lion. A ferocious 00:19:57.660 --> 00:20:02.500 February setting up for a roar in March and tomorrow 00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:07.500 is March 1st. This is prophetic. This is an appointed 00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:10.099 time. What we are watching happen. Continue to 00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:11.920 be watching right now. Be in the word of God 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:20.660 every single day. Keep the faith. God has been 00:20:20.660 --> 00:20:23.579 very clear through his prophets. What we are 00:20:23.579 --> 00:20:26.299 seeing take place now in the efforts to subdue 00:20:26.299 --> 00:20:29.460 the evil of terrorism from a people who for hundreds 00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:32.220 of years have shouted death to America and death 00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:35.240 to Israel is the same effort of God's people 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:39.440 in the days of Queen Esther. The IRCG is the 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.779 Haman of our day and we are seeing the evil they 00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:45.900 sought to happen to others come back upon them. 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:51.000 These are the days of divine redirection of evil. 00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:54.599 I have been sharing my beliefs that the first 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.940 four months of 2026 will be replete with prophecy 00:20:57.940 --> 00:21:00.599 fulfilled. Watch what happens from now through 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.920 Passover early April 1 through 9 and also Pentecost 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:08.720 10 days later. This is not a time for fear, but 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.440 instead to increase our inner resolve to boldly 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:16.539 act on the promises of God as He intervenes in 00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:20.119 the affairs of our world on behalf of His people. 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.980 Now I want to transition to the wisdom and insights 00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:27.039 of my guest Michael Steger. Mike is a highly 00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:30.420 informed, brilliant, and as I personally observed, 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.720 humble man of God. whom I learned about from 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.420 Promethean Action, an organization pursuing a 00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:40.039 political movement defying oligarchy and, in 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.259 their words, seeking to unleash the fire of human 00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:46.579 creativity. Mike is a co -founder of Promethean 00:21:46.579 --> 00:21:49.859 Action. Like all the people associated with Promethean 00:21:49.859 --> 00:21:52.740 Action, he understands the history of America 00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:56.230 and the world embraces the faith and ideals of 00:21:56.230 --> 00:21:59.150 America's Founding Fathers, and seeks to re -educate 00:21:59.150 --> 00:22:02.069 people about the present -day realities so we 00:22:02.069 --> 00:22:05.730 can truly operate as a government for and by 00:22:05.730 --> 00:22:09.009 the people our founders intended, and enjoy the 00:22:09.009 --> 00:22:12.690 freedoms God wants for all people. In other words, 00:22:12.849 --> 00:22:16.450 for God's people to be the ecclesia of influence 00:22:16.450 --> 00:22:21.710 over evil in the entire world as God always intended. 00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:24.839 With this first episode, I asked Mike to help 00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:27.339 us understand the philosophical underpinnings 00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:30.740 of the United States and the British Empire that 00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:33.880 has dictated the respective nations positions 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.460 in world influence. Here's part one of my interview 00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:46.779 with Mike Steger from Promethean Action. Mike 00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:49.900 Steger, I am so delighted to have you on my program 00:22:49.900 --> 00:22:52.599 for the first time as my guest representing Promethean 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.339 Action. And there is so much I want my audience 00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:58.339 to learn from you, so much I want to learn from 00:22:58.339 --> 00:23:00.980 you that we'll all be learning together. So if 00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:03.900 you don't mind, I want to actually keep you for 00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:07.380 a while so I can have three podcasts with you. 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.160 And I want to ask you, first of all, to help 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:13.700 us understand how the American Hamiltonian system 00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:16.480 was established. Now, that was our economic system, 00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.180 how it was originally established and how it 00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:22.259 prospered in the past and how the United States 00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:26.140 then became subject to the British Empire and 00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:29.319 their free trade and endless war system, which 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.420 ultimately was directing us to a one world order 00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:36.470 a long time ago. So Mike. Help us to understand. 00:23:38.069 --> 00:23:39.650 All right, yeah, keep it lighthearted today. 00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:45.569 So the main question is, our nation was formed 00:23:45.569 --> 00:23:47.910 out of this environment. That's what the American 00:23:47.910 --> 00:23:50.849 system emerges out of a unique experiment. And 00:23:50.849 --> 00:23:54.049 that experiment is the American colonies. So 00:23:54.049 --> 00:23:56.589 when we settle here, largely we're talking, I 00:23:56.589 --> 00:23:58.970 mean, there's Jamestown in Virginia, but everything 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.400 except for Massachusetts, where private corporations 00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.839 doing kind of colonial, you know, like the fur 00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:07.400 trapping in Canada. You know, it was a money 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.059 making enterprise. What the pilgrims had settled 00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:12.200 was the idea that they were going to build as 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:14.519 their preacher. John Robinson said, as they were 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:17.039 departing the Netherlands, you're going to set 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.400 up a new spiritual Jerusalem, that spiritual 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.680 Babylon Europe had become so corrupted by this 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.160 kind of oligarchic kind of financial class that 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:31.589 you're going to leave this and set up a new civilization. 00:24:31.730 --> 00:24:35.089 And it was that endeavor. And then that's 1620. 00:24:35.130 --> 00:24:38.250 They land on Plymouth shores 10 years later. 00:24:38.269 --> 00:24:41.170 So there's almost no reinforcements for 10 years. 00:24:41.450 --> 00:24:45.150 10 years later in 1630, the Puritans under John 00:24:45.150 --> 00:24:47.450 Winthrop with a similar conception, but with 00:24:47.450 --> 00:24:50.210 greater resources. Part of this is the civil 00:24:50.210 --> 00:24:53.049 war in England. So the Puritans come with greater 00:24:53.049 --> 00:24:55.789 reinforcements and they set up a bigger bulwark. 00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:58.440 So the pilgrims are not alone. But the idea is 00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:02.059 they have to now take the principles that have 00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:04.660 emerged in the second great Christian renaissance 00:25:04.660 --> 00:25:08.019 of Europe, which had unfolded for about three 00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:11.059 centuries prior to them leaving, where Christianity 00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:13.619 was kind of reawakened, the principles of it. 00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:14.960 Because of course, there was corruption. The 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:16.740 church had gotten corrupted, gotten caught up 00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:23.119 in kind of mundane concerns. But they wanted 00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:24.779 to now build, but there was also an advanced 00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:27.039 civilization. There was the industry, the infrastructure, 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:29.619 the manufacturing, the science, the language. 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.160 I mean, the King James Bible, all these things. 00:25:32.859 --> 00:25:36.279 The English language was flourishing at this 00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:38.720 time. And so there was a high level of literacy. 00:25:38.779 --> 00:25:42.000 There was a high level of literacy, not just 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.759 in words, but in ideas. They were discussing 00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.700 the great classical ideas. They were discussing 00:25:47.700 --> 00:25:50.730 the scripture. in ways that had never been discussed 00:25:50.730 --> 00:25:53.170 before because now that was in a common language. 00:25:53.849 --> 00:25:56.309 So there's this sense of going to build a civilization. 00:25:56.710 --> 00:25:59.829 And now the difference if you take like South 00:25:59.829 --> 00:26:01.890 America at the time, there were colonies there 00:26:01.890 --> 00:26:04.589 by Spain and Portugal and there was a lot of 00:26:04.589 --> 00:26:06.670 gold and silver. So there's a lot of what we 00:26:06.670 --> 00:26:10.529 would today call money. Well, the Spanish got 00:26:10.529 --> 00:26:13.430 easily corrupted by this money. They tried to 00:26:13.430 --> 00:26:15.650 fight a war with the Netherlands. And they lost 00:26:15.650 --> 00:26:18.190 because, like the Federal Reserve printing money, 00:26:18.210 --> 00:26:20.230 when you print a lot of money, what happens to 00:26:20.230 --> 00:26:23.309 your society? Degeneracy, effeminacy, your men 00:26:23.309 --> 00:26:25.849 lose their courage, their strength, their leadership. 00:26:26.130 --> 00:26:30.509 People become corrupted. Well, there is no gold 00:26:30.509 --> 00:26:33.609 and silver in Massachusetts. If people haven't 00:26:33.609 --> 00:26:36.390 been there, it's rocky. It's not great farmland. 00:26:36.529 --> 00:26:39.349 It's a lot of woods and trees. This is tough 00:26:39.349 --> 00:26:42.910 country to build a civilization in. I mean, great 00:26:42.910 --> 00:26:46.849 lobster. But out of this, they had to figure 00:26:46.849 --> 00:26:49.930 out how do we build a process? And they recognize 00:26:49.930 --> 00:26:52.589 they lacked, they had a labor shortage. They 00:26:52.589 --> 00:26:55.230 needed more people. They needed more skilled 00:26:55.230 --> 00:26:58.289 people. John Winthrop sent his son to go learn 00:26:58.289 --> 00:27:00.589 iron forging. One of the first things they started 00:27:00.589 --> 00:27:03.329 building was iron foundries and forges. And they 00:27:03.329 --> 00:27:07.009 built this up to where they were outperforming 00:27:07.009 --> 00:27:10.789 parts of England by this 18th century. You think 00:27:10.789 --> 00:27:13.509 about Valley Forge. Why is it called Valley Forge? 00:27:13.609 --> 00:27:15.950 Because that was a major iron forge. That was 00:27:15.950 --> 00:27:18.609 a major part. And this is what the British, just 00:27:18.609 --> 00:27:20.250 jumping ahead a little bit, this is why the British 00:27:20.250 --> 00:27:22.390 wanted to shut, they wanted to shut down the 00:27:22.390 --> 00:27:24.210 iron foundries. They were passing iron laws. 00:27:24.410 --> 00:27:26.890 They didn't want us producing our own iron, building 00:27:26.890 --> 00:27:29.190 our own tools. They didn't want us building a 00:27:29.190 --> 00:27:31.950 civilization. They wanted cheap labor, extraction 00:27:31.950 --> 00:27:34.809 of resources, and more wealth to be centralized 00:27:34.809 --> 00:27:37.589 in the bureaucracy of London. That was was set 00:27:37.589 --> 00:27:39.930 up so it was taxes, but it wasn't just taxes 00:27:39.930 --> 00:27:43.089 taxes as a concept of We're going to control 00:27:43.089 --> 00:27:45.529 what you're able to do economically We're not 00:27:45.529 --> 00:27:48.670 going to unleash that kind of divine power in 00:27:48.670 --> 00:27:51.710 man to make great leaps to develop new technologies 00:27:51.710 --> 00:27:55.269 to build civilizations and that in essence and 00:27:55.269 --> 00:27:57.539 I believe this is a fundamental question of a 00:27:57.539 --> 00:28:00.339 Christian worldview, that the hope of mankind, 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:02.900 the hope that we've been given by God, that he 00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:05.740 asks us to live by, is because there is no limit 00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:09.680 to human growth. All of the globalists attempting 00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:11.599 to say there's a limit to growth, there's a limit 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:14.099 to how much we can do, there's limited resources. 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.740 It's only a limit by our ability to constantly 00:28:17.740 --> 00:28:21.119 reinvoke the powers of the concept of God, of 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:24.630 God's love for mankind, and encourage ourselves 00:28:24.630 --> 00:28:26.930 to be courageous, to have faith, to take leaps, 00:28:27.009 --> 00:28:29.430 to make new discoveries. There's no limit. As 00:28:29.430 --> 00:28:31.430 long as we have the courage and ability to do 00:28:31.430 --> 00:28:34.789 that, the discipline, the moral devotion, there's 00:28:34.789 --> 00:28:36.970 no limit. So it was in this environment that 00:28:36.970 --> 00:28:40.730 these colonies are forged as a society, as a 00:28:40.730 --> 00:28:43.509 different kind of society. There's no landed 00:28:43.509 --> 00:28:48.210 feudal grouping. There's no feudal aristocratic 00:28:48.210 --> 00:28:52.680 class. There's no banking class. These are people 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.180 that are governed by this concept, as Winthrop 00:28:56.180 --> 00:29:01.160 says, of the common good, by a Christian moral 00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:03.839 view. But they're having to figure out how to 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.480 grow. They didn't have money. They didn't have 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:10.960 gold or silver. How do we build the iron foundries 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.819 that we need when we have to pay the people to 00:29:13.819 --> 00:29:16.980 build the foundry and we don't have a central 00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:20.140 bank? We just can't print the money. We don't 00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:22.259 just have the gold. We can't borrow from Venice 00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:26.259 bankers. So they came up with ways of thinking 00:29:26.259 --> 00:29:29.859 about credit, the way we think of checking accounts 00:29:29.859 --> 00:29:33.519 or the way that you move that if I write a check 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:38.299 for you to go build an iron foundry and you can 00:29:38.299 --> 00:29:40.400 write a check to pay the people that are going 00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.920 to build it and they can pay the people for the 00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:46.140 supplies, then you actually have a process being 00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:49.380 created because a check was created that had 00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:51.700 some value. So they were starting to experiment 00:29:51.700 --> 00:29:54.799 with this kind of banking with by the late 1600s. 00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:58.579 This idea of we need to create a way that's not 00:29:58.579 --> 00:30:01.039 controlled by gold and silver, not controlled 00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:04.059 by a banking class, but controlled by the idea 00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:07.240 that we are going to borrow from the future to 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.799 build a better future. build the industries, 00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:13.759 build the infrastructure, build the manufacturing, 00:30:14.140 --> 00:30:16.819 build the iron foundries, build, and of course 00:30:16.819 --> 00:30:20.000 this becomes your cannons for defense. It becomes 00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:23.299 your plows for farming. It becomes the way that 00:30:23.299 --> 00:30:26.519 you start to build up a comprehensive society. 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:33.220 So this goes on for 150 years, this unique experiment. 00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:38.150 And there's all kinds of tussles. By the 1680s, 00:30:38.170 --> 00:30:41.410 1690s, there's a revolution. The Dutch invade 00:30:41.410 --> 00:30:45.650 England. They're invited by the feudal aristocracy 00:30:45.650 --> 00:30:50.670 to invade England. And so the new leadership 00:30:50.670 --> 00:30:56.450 in England by the late 17th century, 1690s, they're 00:30:56.450 --> 00:30:59.809 not happy with this experiment. So already at 00:30:59.809 --> 00:31:02.150 that time, there's pressure. There's pressure 00:31:02.150 --> 00:31:04.690 to kind of conform to this globalist agenda. 00:31:04.890 --> 00:31:07.910 conform to this financial class. This is where 00:31:07.910 --> 00:31:11.269 you start to see the African slave trade pouring 00:31:11.269 --> 00:31:14.450 in cheap labor. Why? Because they knew that if 00:31:14.450 --> 00:31:17.829 they could create a kind of hierarchy of slavery 00:31:17.829 --> 00:31:20.750 and cheap labor and some kind of serfs, it would 00:31:20.750 --> 00:31:24.190 undermine this growing sense of self -government, 00:31:24.430 --> 00:31:27.009 not based on the cheapness of labor, but based 00:31:27.009 --> 00:31:30.369 on the divine capability to constantly invent 00:31:30.369 --> 00:31:33.710 new discoveries, develop new industries, and 00:31:33.710 --> 00:31:36.730 grow. If you have cheap labor, then what do you 00:31:36.730 --> 00:31:39.130 do? You just keep raising the same cotton and 00:31:39.130 --> 00:31:41.869 tobacco, the same row crops, and you just keep 00:31:41.869 --> 00:31:44.750 making money for a select few kind of feudal 00:31:44.750 --> 00:31:48.029 or landed class. But if you're building a society, 00:31:48.230 --> 00:31:50.609 you're asking for the creative talents of all 00:31:50.609 --> 00:31:55.190 of your people. So that was there already by 00:31:55.190 --> 00:31:59.190 the early 1700s, this distinction. So when we 00:31:59.190 --> 00:32:01.789 wage a revolution, there's already a sense of 00:32:01.789 --> 00:32:05.029 this slavery is a problem. They've kind of trapped 00:32:05.029 --> 00:32:09.829 us into this question. So Hamilton knows in forming 00:32:09.829 --> 00:32:11.789 the Constitution, we've got to hold this thing 00:32:11.789 --> 00:32:14.250 together. We've won the war. We fought the fight. 00:32:14.349 --> 00:32:18.009 I think people have a sense of why. And so Hamilton 00:32:18.009 --> 00:32:19.829 says we've got to pull this thing together. And 00:32:19.829 --> 00:32:22.730 they fight to have a constitutional system to 00:32:22.730 --> 00:32:25.349 hold all of the colonies together. A major part 00:32:25.349 --> 00:32:28.690 of that is tariffs, because if South Carolina 00:32:28.690 --> 00:32:31.230 decides to have cheaper tariffs than Massachusetts, 00:32:31.730 --> 00:32:34.079 they're going to get all the trade. They're going 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.140 to get all of the imports and it's going to make 00:32:37.140 --> 00:32:41.319 South Carolina rich and powerful. So tariffs 00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:43.539 become a major factor. We need to all have the 00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:45.579 same tariffs because if we get pulled off one 00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:50.339 by one, this idea of self -government, this experiment's 00:32:50.339 --> 00:32:53.980 not going to last. It's not going to work. So 00:32:53.980 --> 00:32:56.839 things like tariffs, Hamilton set up a national 00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.680 bank and that bank was meant to issue credit 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.160 just like it had done in the early colonies to 00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:08.019 build roads. to build locks and canals. It's 00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:10.299 not how we built the Erie Canal, but it was based 00:33:10.299 --> 00:33:13.299 on this kind of idea that we're going to build 00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:16.140 what we need. We're going to subdue the earth. 00:33:16.410 --> 00:33:19.009 as Genesis commands, we're going to do that with 00:33:19.009 --> 00:33:21.529 all of the talents and insights and knowledge 00:33:21.529 --> 00:33:23.930 that we have to make sure that this becomes a 00:33:23.930 --> 00:33:26.349 land of great prosperity and wealth for generations. 00:33:26.890 --> 00:33:29.190 And so that was what Hamilton recognized. And 00:33:29.190 --> 00:33:32.470 so there's more to say. But this American system 00:33:32.470 --> 00:33:35.029 emerges out of this idea of what free labor means 00:33:35.029 --> 00:33:38.130 versus slave labor and sheep labor, what tariffs 00:33:38.130 --> 00:33:40.670 mean to defend the value of that free labor, 00:33:40.970 --> 00:33:43.289 and what it means to make sure that we're encouraging 00:33:43.289 --> 00:33:46.160 a nation to keep growing. This is partly why 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:50.440 the globalists have kind of piled, almost drowned 00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.720 us in debt. Public debt, federal debt, private 00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:55.759 debt, household debt, corporate debt. We are 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.339 just, we have debt gushing out of the gills. 00:33:58.619 --> 00:34:01.460 Why? Because they know that if you got a reflex 00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:04.420 like President Trump to come back with the American 00:34:04.420 --> 00:34:07.299 system, they would then essentially be hamstrung 00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:09.719 by all this debt. They couldn't move aggressively. 00:34:10.699 --> 00:34:12.880 and rebuild and re -industrialize the country. 00:34:12.940 --> 00:34:15.199 They couldn't call forth the talents of the people 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:17.260 who have been sitting kind of dormant, languishing 00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:20.340 in this globalist muck. Trump says, let's rebuild 00:34:20.340 --> 00:34:23.199 the country. But can he go borrow $10 trillion? 00:34:24.099 --> 00:34:27.000 Not really. I mean, we're at $40 trillion in 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.239 debt. You know, 15 years ago we were $10 trillion. 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:33.079 It's just growing like crazy. The corporations, 00:34:33.380 --> 00:34:35.360 Boeing and the General Electric and the Fords, 00:34:35.659 --> 00:34:37.940 they're all overwhelmed with debt. Households 00:34:37.940 --> 00:34:40.860 are overwhelmed with debt. I mean, since the 00:34:40.860 --> 00:34:42.860 bailouts and the financial crash, it's just been 00:34:42.860 --> 00:34:46.000 a frenzy of debt. So this is what Trump does. 00:34:46.179 --> 00:34:49.179 I think it's the miracle deal. He finds $18 trillion 00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:53.190 of foreign and private investment. to begin to 00:34:53.190 --> 00:34:55.730 re -industrialize the country. And so that wasn't 00:34:55.730 --> 00:34:58.349 what you would ever have found any American president 00:34:58.349 --> 00:35:01.110 to have done within the American system, is to 00:35:01.110 --> 00:35:03.329 go find these foreigners and private companies 00:35:03.329 --> 00:35:06.610 to dump in, but it was the principle of the American 00:35:06.610 --> 00:35:09.409 system. And Trump found a way to get past the 00:35:09.409 --> 00:35:12.739 obstacles the globalists had set up. All right, 00:35:12.860 --> 00:35:14.920 so what I understand from what you've shared, 00:35:15.139 --> 00:35:16.739 and it's just such a wealth of knowledge, it 00:35:16.739 --> 00:35:19.380 really helps it all come together that we can 00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:23.099 understand where we were originally and how we 00:35:23.099 --> 00:35:25.739 got to where we are, which we'll talk about more 00:35:25.739 --> 00:35:28.300 in our next two segments. But what I'm hearing 00:35:28.300 --> 00:35:32.320 is that the Hamiltonian system really kind of 00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:35.380 evolved as people were trying to figure out what 00:35:35.380 --> 00:35:37.820 life would be like in this new world, but it's 00:35:37.820 --> 00:35:41.260 not capitalism. Well, this whole construct of 00:35:41.260 --> 00:35:44.559 capitalism and communism was something created 00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:49.900 by European academics and oligarchs to basically 00:35:49.900 --> 00:35:52.679 pit to give people to essentially kind of false 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:54.800 choices if it's called if it's because capitalism 00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.750 really by the people that founded it that kind 00:35:57.750 --> 00:36:01.110 of built it up as a system are liberals. They're 00:36:01.110 --> 00:36:04.570 British liberals. It's guys like Bernard Mandeville 00:36:04.570 --> 00:36:07.369 or Jeremy Bentham or John Stuart Mill. These 00:36:07.369 --> 00:36:09.510 guys were liberals in their outlook. Adam Smith 00:36:09.510 --> 00:36:12.690 was a liberal. They weren't, they weren't people 00:36:12.690 --> 00:36:16.210 that were, they weren't thinking of the noble 00:36:16.210 --> 00:36:19.250 mission of mankind. So by liberal in this case, 00:36:19.349 --> 00:36:21.719 you also mean that they really were not considering 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:24.639 God as the Creator. No, not really. I mean, most 00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:26.579 of them weren't. Most of them were hardcore hedonists. 00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:29.519 I mean, Mandeville ran the Hellfire Clubs in 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.679 London when Benjamin Franklin would visit prior 00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:34.239 to the war. So these guys are hardcore hedonists, 00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:38.619 hardcore, you know, pleasure -focused. So this 00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:41.179 capitalism -communism idea was a construct because 00:36:41.179 --> 00:36:43.639 the American system doesn't believe the government 00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:46.440 shouldn't be involved. It means that it's based 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.780 on the idea that we, the people, are the government. 00:36:49.050 --> 00:36:51.650 So we should be involved to the extent it's helpful 00:36:51.650 --> 00:36:54.289 to effectively grow the country. It doesn't mean 00:36:54.289 --> 00:36:56.130 you want the government running a lot of things. 00:36:56.389 --> 00:36:59.070 You want the government to ensure that the credit 00:36:59.070 --> 00:37:01.789 and capital you have as a country isn't just 00:37:01.789 --> 00:37:04.590 trying to make money because you can make money 00:37:04.590 --> 00:37:07.489 off the drug trade. You can make money off prostitution 00:37:07.489 --> 00:37:10.110 and gambling. The idea was that we want to make 00:37:10.110 --> 00:37:12.090 sure our capital is directed towards that which 00:37:12.090 --> 00:37:15.960 is going to improve the productivity of our people, 00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:18.840 not just today, to make us prosperous right now. 00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:20.539 You can do that with bailouts. Everybody can 00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:22.659 be rich, print a bunch of money. But we want 00:37:22.659 --> 00:37:25.639 to make sure that our grandchildren are thriving 00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:27.719 in prosperity. And that means you build the power 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.119 plants and infrastructure. You invest into a 00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:33.000 physical capacity for the future. And that's 00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:34.920 what Hamilton and that's the American system. 00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:37.539 And I love what you're helping us understand. 00:37:37.579 --> 00:37:40.539 I want to have a stop right here and pick up 00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:44.530 on this area next week. So I've got you for two 00:37:44.530 --> 00:37:47.570 more weeks. Okay. Sounds good. Sounds good. Okay. 00:37:47.570 --> 00:37:57.170 All right I love how Michael explained that the 00:37:57.170 --> 00:38:00.170 pilgrims came to America with the conscious focus 00:38:00.170 --> 00:38:03.130 to leave the spiritual Babylon that existed in 00:38:03.130 --> 00:38:05.969 Europe and start a new nation that would operate 00:38:05.969 --> 00:38:09.030 consistent with God's revealed principles and 00:38:09.030 --> 00:38:12.019 will What Michael will more fully explain next 00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:15.940 week is how Babylon came to America to infiltrate 00:38:15.940 --> 00:38:18.880 our government with the globalist agenda and 00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.800 how we are being given a second chance to restore 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:24.920 the United States back to God's original intent. 00:38:25.380 --> 00:38:27.300 You won't want to miss parts two and three of 00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:29.579 this interview with Mike Steger because you'll 00:38:29.579 --> 00:38:32.840 learn that even this conflict in Iran is part 00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:34.619 of what God has been prophetically revealing 00:38:34.619 --> 00:38:38.460 would occur in these very days in his process 00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:42.519 of once again delivering his people from the 00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:45.880 spirit of Babylon. Now I ask you to please listen 00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.079 to my closing announcements and to take advantage 00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:50.480 of the many goods and services I bring you in 00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.000 an effort to at least cover the cost of this 00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:56.179 podcast.
