Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith
to Live By. I'm Pam Christian, your host of this
weekly podcast, where I seek to help us understand
current world events from a biblical and prophetic
perspective. My regular listeners will agree
I explore world happenings without over sensationalizing
or claiming doom and gloom or being any sort
of an alarmist. And I promise to maintain that
same standard with today's podcast. where I must
address events that have the potential of escalating
into World War III. Events in Iran and escalating
events concerning the entire Western world are
my topics today, with my guest Michael Steger
from Promethean Action bringing us an understanding
as to how the United States has been brought
by God into power today. Last week I announced
I planned on bringing more insights about the
extent of evil revealed from the Epstein files
from the perspective of a woman named Max Lowe,
who personally lived subjected to child sex trafficking
and satanic ritual abuse. I did contact her through
her website, but I've not yet heard back, and
I will still make sure we are enlightened on
that topic. But today I will take us in a different
direction to understand the battle of good and
evil that we, the ecclesia, must rise up against.
First and foremost, we must understand we are
living in the days of prophecy fulfilled. God
has been saying, and I have been sharing, what
his modern -day prophets have been saying about
how all the evil in the world is being exposed
for the purposes of our seeing God overcome it
as he works through his people. Clearly, the
ancient spiritual battle between good and evil
is greatly intensified in our day. The evil includes
the ancient spirit of Persia, which operates
in the area of the world centered in modern -day
Iran, and includes the ancient spirit of Babylon,
which operates in the area that is current -day
Iraq. The Prince of Persia was and is an especially
powerful evil entity assigned to the Persian
Empire. At its height, which would have been
550 to 331 BCE, the First Persian Empire covered
a massive area stretching from the Balkan Peninsula
in Europe to the Indus Valley in India. It was
centered in modern -day Iran and included all
or parts of modern -day Turkey, Egypt, Iraq,
Syria, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Armenia, Georgia,
Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts
of Central Asia. In Daniel chapter 10, we learn
the Prince of Persia is a powerful spiritual
force opposing God's purpose that required the
intervention from Archangel Michael, giving us
insight to the spiritual battle of that day.
Everything that happens in the spiritual is manifest
in the natural. So as we read in Daniel, in response
to the evil efforts, God stirred the spirit of
King Cyrus to allow the Jews to rebuild their
temple. This was in fulfillment of multiple prophecies
spoken some 100 to 150 years before the birth
of King Cyrus, mostly from the book of Isaiah.
The prophecies revealed God would come to the
aid of his people through a king. This was a
reality then. it is also our reality today. Haven't
you heard people claim President Trump is a modern
-day King Cyrus who is being directed by God
to rescue God's people from evil today? Given
what is happening through the joint efforts of
the United States and Israel in the Middle East,
especially at this particular time on the calendar,
is fulfillment of prophecy in our day that is
undeniable? God's people, or the Church actually
better stated the Ecclesia, has always been tasked
with the duty to overcome evil. In addition to
the examples of evil being overcome in the time
of Daniel and King Cyrus, I ask you to consider
the fall of the Roman Empire. It was Christianity
that rose up to overcome the evil of that day,
which was not only victorious throughout the
Roman Empire, but was the impetus for the foundation
and establishment of civilized nations throughout
the entire western hemisphere. A quick AI research
revealed, quote, Christianity contributed to
the overturn of the Roman Empire by undermining
traditional Roman polytheism, weakening the divine
authority of the emperor, and shifting loyalty
from the state to a new religious hierarchy.
It transformed Roman culture, creating internal
tensions, challenging social structures, and
ultimately replacing the pagan state religion."
End quote. By now, the whole world knows the
United States and Israel have joined forces against
Iran to enforce the entirely non -negotiable
matter of Iran having any nuclear arms. Most
of you know I don't like to discuss current headline
news without some historical context, so that's
what I'll first provide. If you recall, June
2025 was the first time when Israel and the United
States bombed three of Iran's nuclear facilities,
bringing to Iran the biggest attack on the country's
soil since the 1980s. In response, that same
month of June 2025, Reza Pahlavi, the son of
Iran's last Shah, gave a speech proclaiming the
Islamic Republic's end was near. Together, Iranians
would build a better country, free of tyranny.
Imagine this new Iran, he said, a free and democratic
Iran, living at peace with our neighbors, an
engine of growth and opportunity." Even though
Pallavi has been in exile for almost five decades,
in recent years he's become increasingly vocal
and increasingly insistent that he should lead
any pivot. I am stepping forward to lead this
national transition, Pallavi said. I have a clear
plan. Pallavi was positioning himself in response
to President Trump revealing he is open to taking
down the entire regime. If the current Iranian
regime is unable to make Iran great again, why
wouldn't there be a regime change? Make Iran
great again! exclamation point he wrote in a
Sunday social media post. It was unclear how
Trump wanted that regime change to occur, by
further American military involvement or by an
organic uprising of disaffected Iranians. From
the summer months leading to December 2025, life
for the citizens of Iran became unbearable as
I shared on previous podcasts beginning with
podcast number 291. With that podcast I said
quote, December 2025 resulted in the largest
wave of protests to hit the nation since the
1979 Islamic Revolution. The protesters were
heard chanting for the regime change, which was
met with deadly force from their tyrannical government,
with an estimated total of very close to 4 ,000
killed, 2 ,107 injured with very serious wounds,
and a total of 24 ,669 protesters arrested This
is a most egregious reality. It is reported that
Christianity is the fastest growing faith in
Iran, meaning Iran, like Syria, has become a
place of tremendous Christian persecution. Syria's
Christians have faced severe persecutions, violence,
and discrimination, particularly since their
2011 civil war with Islamist groups like ISIS
targeting them with massacres, forced conversions,
and destruction of churches, leading to a significant
decline in their population as many flee, and
those who remain being subjected to extreme insecurity
and an uncertain future. Now still quoting from
episode 291, I said, with understanding, the
Iranian people were willing to fight for a regime
change more than once. President Trump announced
he would be sending help for the people of Iran,
which greatly impassioned them. Then January
16th, apparently based on a report that Iran
had cancelled their planned executions of protesters
and based on pressure from regional allies, President
Trump refrained from ordering strikes against
the Islamic Republic. However, I don't think
that means President Trump is doing nothing.
We know the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier
is in transit from Asia to the Middle East at
this very time." End quote. Now specific to today's
podcast, I learned in February 2026, before the
United States -Israel attack on Iran, the Council
on Foreign Relations wrote, quote, Iran is at
the cusp of historic transition. The Islamic
Republic, the regime, established after Iran's
1979 revolution is reeling from dramatic reversals
to its regional posture and nuclear program,
as well as repeated public uprisings against
the regime that have only been suppressed by
violent mass repression. At 86 years old, Iran's
supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the
Middle East's longest -serving head of state.
His almost 37 years in power cemented the unique
dominance of his office and expanded Iran's influence
across the region. His ouster, death, or incapacitation
will precipitate only the second leadership change
in Iran since the regime's establishment nearly
50 years ago, and its implications will reverberate
across the Middle East and around the world."
End quote. Again that was in February before
the attack. President Trump has always been clear
he has no intentions of the United States leading
a regime change in Iran. Instead he has consistently
encouraged the people of Iran to do so for themselves.
This military action of February 28th was done
for the sake of the citizens of Iran, the entire
region of the Middle East, and for the entire
world. I recently learned China supplied Iran
with missiles. due to what's called strategic
alliances Iran has with Russia and China, we
need to pray against those transitioning into
military alliances. I also learned on Monday
that the Iran -backed organization Hezbollah
has joined the war firing rockets and drones
at Israel leading to major retaliatory strikes
that reportedly resulted in the idea of killing
the head of Hezbollah's intelligence in Beirut
headquarters. without taking time to review the
events of weeks and weeks of efforts by President
Trump to have meaningful and successful negotiations
with the leaders of the IRCG that never happened,
or taking the time about the quiet yet unprecedented
military deployment of both water and aircrafts
in areas surrounding Iran, demonstrating President
Trump's commitment for Iran never to have nuclear
weapon capabilities, or without taking the time
to discuss the Supreme IRCG leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei along with at least seven other
top officials including the second highest in
command among the reported 40 killed as of March
2nd, 2026. Suffice it to say the whole world
is holding its breath. This conflict is expected
to continue and how it plays out remains to be
seen. On March 2nd, I learned President Trump
addressed the world expressing this particular
military operation targeting the Iranian regime
is a necessary duty and burden of free people
to eliminate the nuclear threat of Iran. You
can watch the entire video released from the
White House using the link in the show notes.
Roughly quoting part of his speech, the president
spoke on behalf of America and Israel stating,
quote, We cannot allow a nation that has become
the world's number one state sponsor of terror
and aggressively raises terrorist armies to possess
nuclear weapons that would allow them to extort
the world to their evil will. We're not going
to let that happen. It's not happening to us
and we're not going to let it happen to others.
We're undertaking this massive operation not
merely to ensure security for our own time and
place, but for our children and their children,
just as our ancestors have done for us many,
many years ago. These actions are right and they
are necessary to ensure Americans will never
have to face a radical, bloodthirsty terrorist
regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of
threats. This military operation will continue
until all our objectives are achieved. I call
upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom
to seize this moment, to be brave, be bold, be
heroic, and take back your own country. I made
a promise to you, and I fulfilled that promise.
The rest will be up to you, but we'll be here
to help you. America is with you." Already videos
are circulating of the people of Iran in different
cities across the country celebrating in the
streets. Israeli authorities and Iran state media
have confirmed the deaths of key Iranian defense
officials and nuclear development figures. The
United States military sank nine Iranian Navy
ships and essentially destroyed its naval headquarters.
The United States and Israeli forces struck more
than 1 ,000 targets. Five Persian Gulf nations
that host US military installations claim they
have shot down more than 1 ,500 Iranian missiles
and drones, and the leaders of three Western
European powers have united in expressing their
intention to assist the United States and its
allies in stopping Iran's retaliatory missiles
and drones. As of March 2nd, sadly, six American
service members have been killed and five more
seriously wounded, while four Israelis were killed
and another moderately hurt by Iran's relentless
barrages at civilian targets. About the American
casualties, President Trump said, we pray for
the full recovery of the wounded and send our
immense love and eternal gratitude to the families
of the fallen. America will avenge their deaths
and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists
who have waged war basically against civilization."
End quote. As of today, President Trump has agreed
to open discussions with Iran's newly established
leadership following the death of their supreme
leader. In my opinion, negotiating with terrorists
who as a group have raised generations of terrorists
filled with hatred, bent on killing and destroying
the entire Western world, will never produce
long -lasting results. We need to understand
there is an ancient spirit ruling these terrorists,
the same ancient spirit that influenced Haman
in the days of Esther. Just as it was for God's
people in Esther's day, our task is to seek God
to help us subdue evil and increase God's kingdom
will on earth, actually preparing the way for
Christ's return. How the Bible instructs us to
prepare the world for Christ's return is a topic
I plan to cover in the very near future. And
trust me, it's not by being passive in the face
of evil. We can expect this conflict to continue
for at least several days. In the meantime, let
us pray with decrees and declarations for the
people of Iran to have the strategy, ability,
and resources to establish their own preferred
government, that it will be a highly successful
mission honoring the martyrs who have given their
lives for freedom from tyranny, for minimal additional
loss of life, for it to be a very short -term
mission, for the ripple effect of all of this
to provide the trajectory for Christianity to
once again overcome evil and restore God's plans
and purposes for the entire world. Amen. The
day this podcast will first post is March 4th,
immediately following the Jewish feast of Purim,
which was from sundown March 2nd to sundown March
3rd. In light of Purim, I want to play a recording
from Amanda Grace posted on February 28th of
2026 which includes a prophecy she published
late December 2025. Hello everyone Amanda Grace
here. This is an urgent prophetic alert. The
U .S. and Israel have announced they have launched
a joint attack on Iran in major combat operations
that President Trump confirmed Saturday. on Truth
Social. The U .S. and Israel have launched these
attacks on the heels of Purim 2026, which is
marked by a blood moon, which begins March 2nd
at sundown and goes into March 3rd. Purim having
to do with the Book of Esther in the Bible, which
is based in Persia, which is Iran, which is the
decrees of destruction the wicked put out against
the people of God, reversing upon the senders
and destroying the wicked. This attack is going
to last at least days. It will go right into
Purim and align. This is incredibly prophetic
and biblical. timeline we are watching unfold
in the earth right now. Let me read to the word
of the Lord from December 29th, 2025. As they
secretly make dark deals to keep their seats,
the scandal that coils over shall intensify in
order to bring forth a standard of accountability,
says the Lord, against corrupt agents who are
tethered to the kingdom of darkness and groups
who funnel terror, says the Lord. You shall watch
this unfold with a January of jeers, says the
Lord. The enemy may attempt to cause fear to
open gates, However, I the Lord shall cause jeers
at those who are involved in such acts, says
the Lord. A January of justice, says the Lord,
shall lead to a ferocious February setting up
for a Roar, R -O -A -R, in March, says the Lord.
This is the last day of February today, and the
United States and Israel have launched this attack
on Iran, and it will go into March and go into
Purim. The Lord said of Ferocious February setting
up for a roar in March. Now listen to what these
two operations are named. February 20th, 2026,
Israel and the United States launched a joint
attack on various cities in Iran. The operation
for the U .S. was Epic Fury, like Ferocious,
and Israel named the operation roaring lion.
Operation epic fury and roaring lion. A ferocious
February setting up for a roar in March and tomorrow
is March 1st. This is prophetic. This is an appointed
time. What we are watching happen. Continue to
be watching right now. Be in the word of God
every single day. Keep the faith. God has been
very clear through his prophets. What we are
seeing take place now in the efforts to subdue
the evil of terrorism from a people who for hundreds
of years have shouted death to America and death
to Israel is the same effort of God's people
in the days of Queen Esther. The IRCG is the
Haman of our day and we are seeing the evil they
sought to happen to others come back upon them.
These are the days of divine redirection of evil.
I have been sharing my beliefs that the first
four months of 2026 will be replete with prophecy
fulfilled. Watch what happens from now through
Passover early April 1 through 9 and also Pentecost
10 days later. This is not a time for fear, but
instead to increase our inner resolve to boldly
act on the promises of God as He intervenes in
the affairs of our world on behalf of His people.
Now I want to transition to the wisdom and insights
of my guest Michael Steger. Mike is a highly
informed, brilliant, and as I personally observed,
humble man of God. whom I learned about from
Promethean Action, an organization pursuing a
political movement defying oligarchy and, in
their words, seeking to unleash the fire of human
creativity. Mike is a co -founder of Promethean
Action. Like all the people associated with Promethean
Action, he understands the history of America
and the world embraces the faith and ideals of
America's Founding Fathers, and seeks to re -educate
people about the present -day realities so we
can truly operate as a government for and by
the people our founders intended, and enjoy the
freedoms God wants for all people. In other words,
for God's people to be the ecclesia of influence
over evil in the entire world as God always intended.
With this first episode, I asked Mike to help
us understand the philosophical underpinnings
of the United States and the British Empire that
has dictated the respective nations positions
in world influence. Here's part one of my interview
with Mike Steger from Promethean Action. Mike
Steger, I am so delighted to have you on my program
for the first time as my guest representing Promethean
Action. And there is so much I want my audience
to learn from you, so much I want to learn from
you that we'll all be learning together. So if
you don't mind, I want to actually keep you for
a while so I can have three podcasts with you.
And I want to ask you, first of all, to help
us understand how the American Hamiltonian system
was established. Now, that was our economic system,
how it was originally established and how it
prospered in the past and how the United States
then became subject to the British Empire and
their free trade and endless war system, which
ultimately was directing us to a one world order
a long time ago. So Mike. Help us to understand.
All right, yeah, keep it lighthearted today.
So the main question is, our nation was formed
out of this environment. That's what the American
system emerges out of a unique experiment. And
that experiment is the American colonies. So
when we settle here, largely we're talking, I
mean, there's Jamestown in Virginia, but everything
except for Massachusetts, where private corporations
doing kind of colonial, you know, like the fur
trapping in Canada. You know, it was a money
making enterprise. What the pilgrims had settled
was the idea that they were going to build as
their preacher. John Robinson said, as they were
departing the Netherlands, you're going to set
up a new spiritual Jerusalem, that spiritual
Babylon Europe had become so corrupted by this
kind of oligarchic kind of financial class that
you're going to leave this and set up a new civilization.
And it was that endeavor. And then that's 1620.
They land on Plymouth shores 10 years later.
So there's almost no reinforcements for 10 years.
10 years later in 1630, the Puritans under John
Winthrop with a similar conception, but with
greater resources. Part of this is the civil
war in England. So the Puritans come with greater
reinforcements and they set up a bigger bulwark.
So the pilgrims are not alone. But the idea is
they have to now take the principles that have
emerged in the second great Christian renaissance
of Europe, which had unfolded for about three
centuries prior to them leaving, where Christianity
was kind of reawakened, the principles of it.
Because of course, there was corruption. The
church had gotten corrupted, gotten caught up
in kind of mundane concerns. But they wanted
to now build, but there was also an advanced
civilization. There was the industry, the infrastructure,
the manufacturing, the science, the language.
I mean, the King James Bible, all these things.
The English language was flourishing at this
time. And so there was a high level of literacy.
There was a high level of literacy, not just
in words, but in ideas. They were discussing
the great classical ideas. They were discussing
the scripture. in ways that had never been discussed
before because now that was in a common language.
So there's this sense of going to build a civilization.
And now the difference if you take like South
America at the time, there were colonies there
by Spain and Portugal and there was a lot of
gold and silver. So there's a lot of what we
would today call money. Well, the Spanish got
easily corrupted by this money. They tried to
fight a war with the Netherlands. And they lost
because, like the Federal Reserve printing money,
when you print a lot of money, what happens to
your society? Degeneracy, effeminacy, your men
lose their courage, their strength, their leadership.
People become corrupted. Well, there is no gold
and silver in Massachusetts. If people haven't
been there, it's rocky. It's not great farmland.
It's a lot of woods and trees. This is tough
country to build a civilization in. I mean, great
lobster. But out of this, they had to figure
out how do we build a process? And they recognize
they lacked, they had a labor shortage. They
needed more people. They needed more skilled
people. John Winthrop sent his son to go learn
iron forging. One of the first things they started
building was iron foundries and forges. And they
built this up to where they were outperforming
parts of England by this 18th century. You think
about Valley Forge. Why is it called Valley Forge?
Because that was a major iron forge. That was
a major part. And this is what the British, just
jumping ahead a little bit, this is why the British
wanted to shut, they wanted to shut down the
iron foundries. They were passing iron laws.
They didn't want us producing our own iron, building
our own tools. They didn't want us building a
civilization. They wanted cheap labor, extraction
of resources, and more wealth to be centralized
in the bureaucracy of London. That was was set
up so it was taxes, but it wasn't just taxes
taxes as a concept of We're going to control
what you're able to do economically We're not
going to unleash that kind of divine power in
man to make great leaps to develop new technologies
to build civilizations and that in essence and
I believe this is a fundamental question of a
Christian worldview, that the hope of mankind,
the hope that we've been given by God, that he
asks us to live by, is because there is no limit
to human growth. All of the globalists attempting
to say there's a limit to growth, there's a limit
to how much we can do, there's limited resources.
It's only a limit by our ability to constantly
reinvoke the powers of the concept of God, of
God's love for mankind, and encourage ourselves
to be courageous, to have faith, to take leaps,
to make new discoveries. There's no limit. As
long as we have the courage and ability to do
that, the discipline, the moral devotion, there's
no limit. So it was in this environment that
these colonies are forged as a society, as a
different kind of society. There's no landed
feudal grouping. There's no feudal aristocratic
class. There's no banking class. These are people
that are governed by this concept, as Winthrop
says, of the common good, by a Christian moral
view. But they're having to figure out how to
grow. They didn't have money. They didn't have
gold or silver. How do we build the iron foundries
that we need when we have to pay the people to
build the foundry and we don't have a central
bank? We just can't print the money. We don't
just have the gold. We can't borrow from Venice
bankers. So they came up with ways of thinking
about credit, the way we think of checking accounts
or the way that you move that if I write a check
for you to go build an iron foundry and you can
write a check to pay the people that are going
to build it and they can pay the people for the
supplies, then you actually have a process being
created because a check was created that had
some value. So they were starting to experiment
with this kind of banking with by the late 1600s.
This idea of we need to create a way that's not
controlled by gold and silver, not controlled
by a banking class, but controlled by the idea
that we are going to borrow from the future to
build a better future. build the industries,
build the infrastructure, build the manufacturing,
build the iron foundries, build, and of course
this becomes your cannons for defense. It becomes
your plows for farming. It becomes the way that
you start to build up a comprehensive society.
So this goes on for 150 years, this unique experiment.
And there's all kinds of tussles. By the 1680s,
1690s, there's a revolution. The Dutch invade
England. They're invited by the feudal aristocracy
to invade England. And so the new leadership
in England by the late 17th century, 1690s, they're
not happy with this experiment. So already at
that time, there's pressure. There's pressure
to kind of conform to this globalist agenda.
conform to this financial class. This is where
you start to see the African slave trade pouring
in cheap labor. Why? Because they knew that if
they could create a kind of hierarchy of slavery
and cheap labor and some kind of serfs, it would
undermine this growing sense of self -government,
not based on the cheapness of labor, but based
on the divine capability to constantly invent
new discoveries, develop new industries, and
grow. If you have cheap labor, then what do you
do? You just keep raising the same cotton and
tobacco, the same row crops, and you just keep
making money for a select few kind of feudal
or landed class. But if you're building a society,
you're asking for the creative talents of all
of your people. So that was there already by
the early 1700s, this distinction. So when we
wage a revolution, there's already a sense of
this slavery is a problem. They've kind of trapped
us into this question. So Hamilton knows in forming
the Constitution, we've got to hold this thing
together. We've won the war. We fought the fight.
I think people have a sense of why. And so Hamilton
says we've got to pull this thing together. And
they fight to have a constitutional system to
hold all of the colonies together. A major part
of that is tariffs, because if South Carolina
decides to have cheaper tariffs than Massachusetts,
they're going to get all the trade. They're going
to get all of the imports and it's going to make
South Carolina rich and powerful. So tariffs
become a major factor. We need to all have the
same tariffs because if we get pulled off one
by one, this idea of self -government, this experiment's
not going to last. It's not going to work. So
things like tariffs, Hamilton set up a national
bank and that bank was meant to issue credit
just like it had done in the early colonies to
build roads. to build locks and canals. It's
not how we built the Erie Canal, but it was based
on this kind of idea that we're going to build
what we need. We're going to subdue the earth.
as Genesis commands, we're going to do that with
all of the talents and insights and knowledge
that we have to make sure that this becomes a
land of great prosperity and wealth for generations.
And so that was what Hamilton recognized. And
so there's more to say. But this American system
emerges out of this idea of what free labor means
versus slave labor and sheep labor, what tariffs
mean to defend the value of that free labor,
and what it means to make sure that we're encouraging
a nation to keep growing. This is partly why
the globalists have kind of piled, almost drowned
us in debt. Public debt, federal debt, private
debt, household debt, corporate debt. We are
just, we have debt gushing out of the gills.
Why? Because they know that if you got a reflex
like President Trump to come back with the American
system, they would then essentially be hamstrung
by all this debt. They couldn't move aggressively.
and rebuild and re -industrialize the country.
They couldn't call forth the talents of the people
who have been sitting kind of dormant, languishing
in this globalist muck. Trump says, let's rebuild
the country. But can he go borrow $10 trillion?
Not really. I mean, we're at $40 trillion in
debt. You know, 15 years ago we were $10 trillion.
It's just growing like crazy. The corporations,
Boeing and the General Electric and the Fords,
they're all overwhelmed with debt. Households
are overwhelmed with debt. I mean, since the
bailouts and the financial crash, it's just been
a frenzy of debt. So this is what Trump does.
I think it's the miracle deal. He finds $18 trillion
of foreign and private investment. to begin to
re -industrialize the country. And so that wasn't
what you would ever have found any American president
to have done within the American system, is to
go find these foreigners and private companies
to dump in, but it was the principle of the American
system. And Trump found a way to get past the
obstacles the globalists had set up. All right,
so what I understand from what you've shared,
and it's just such a wealth of knowledge, it
really helps it all come together that we can
understand where we were originally and how we
got to where we are, which we'll talk about more
in our next two segments. But what I'm hearing
is that the Hamiltonian system really kind of
evolved as people were trying to figure out what
life would be like in this new world, but it's
not capitalism. Well, this whole construct of
capitalism and communism was something created
by European academics and oligarchs to basically
pit to give people to essentially kind of false
choices if it's called if it's because capitalism
really by the people that founded it that kind
of built it up as a system are liberals. They're
British liberals. It's guys like Bernard Mandeville
or Jeremy Bentham or John Stuart Mill. These
guys were liberals in their outlook. Adam Smith
was a liberal. They weren't, they weren't people
that were, they weren't thinking of the noble
mission of mankind. So by liberal in this case,
you also mean that they really were not considering
God as the Creator. No, not really. I mean, most
of them weren't. Most of them were hardcore hedonists.
I mean, Mandeville ran the Hellfire Clubs in
London when Benjamin Franklin would visit prior
to the war. So these guys are hardcore hedonists,
hardcore, you know, pleasure -focused. So this
capitalism -communism idea was a construct because
the American system doesn't believe the government
shouldn't be involved. It means that it's based
on the idea that we, the people, are the government.
So we should be involved to the extent it's helpful
to effectively grow the country. It doesn't mean
you want the government running a lot of things.
You want the government to ensure that the credit
and capital you have as a country isn't just
trying to make money because you can make money
off the drug trade. You can make money off prostitution
and gambling. The idea was that we want to make
sure our capital is directed towards that which
is going to improve the productivity of our people,
not just today, to make us prosperous right now.
You can do that with bailouts. Everybody can
be rich, print a bunch of money. But we want
to make sure that our grandchildren are thriving
in prosperity. And that means you build the power
plants and infrastructure. You invest into a
physical capacity for the future. And that's
what Hamilton and that's the American system.
And I love what you're helping us understand.
I want to have a stop right here and pick up
on this area next week. So I've got you for two
more weeks. Okay. Sounds good. Sounds good. Okay.
All right I love how Michael explained that the
pilgrims came to America with the conscious focus
to leave the spiritual Babylon that existed in
Europe and start a new nation that would operate
consistent with God's revealed principles and
will What Michael will more fully explain next
week is how Babylon came to America to infiltrate
our government with the globalist agenda and
how we are being given a second chance to restore
the United States back to God's original intent.
You won't want to miss parts two and three of
this interview with Mike Steger because you'll
learn that even this conflict in Iran is part
of what God has been prophetically revealing
would occur in these very days in his process
of once again delivering his people from the
spirit of Babylon. Now I ask you to please listen
