I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:00:10.61\00:00:13.54
Right here in Communist China.
00:00:13.58\00:00:16.48
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.51\00:00:18.61

00:00:26.45\00:00:30.46
Now here's John
Carter with today's message.
00:00:30.49\00:00:33.50
Hello, friend.
00:00:37.13\00:00:38.70
I'm John Carter.
00:00:38.73\00:00:40.07
Welcome today to a
very, very special edition
00:00:40.10\00:00:43.37
of the Carter Report.
00:00:43.41\00:00:45.97
This is a time
of worldwide crisis.
00:00:46.01\00:00:49.64
We're facing an
existential threat.
00:00:49.68\00:00:54.58
This is not
something in fiction.
00:00:54.62\00:00:57.49
This is real.
00:00:57.52\00:00:59.35
And today, we're going to
talk about the coronavirus,
00:00:59.39\00:01:02.72
COVID-19
00:01:02.76\00:01:05.39
and what you and
I can do about it.
00:01:05.43\00:01:10.27
The situation
is really so severe
00:01:10.30\00:01:13.37
that the president
of the United States
00:01:13.40\00:01:16.47
has declared it a
national state of emergency.
00:01:16.50\00:01:20.78
That hasn't happened
for many, many years.
00:01:20.81\00:01:24.25
He's also called for
a great day of prayer
00:01:24.28\00:01:28.48
because everybody
around the world recognizes
00:01:28.52\00:01:31.85
that this is not another day
00:01:31.89\00:01:35.12
at the office.
00:01:35.16\00:01:37.16
This is a time
00:01:37.19\00:01:39.63
of extreme emergency.
00:01:39.66\00:01:43.37
And I've got some amazing facts
00:01:43.40\00:01:45.50
to share with you today,
00:01:45.53\00:01:48.74
facts that you're not
going to hear anywhere else,
00:01:48.77\00:01:51.07
I believe.
00:01:51.11\00:01:52.61
And so I welcome you
today to this special edition.
00:01:52.64\00:01:57.01
Schools and
churches have been closed.
00:01:57.05\00:01:59.11
Yes, even churches have
been told to closed down.
00:01:59.15\00:02:02.72
This is an
attempt to stop the spread
00:02:02.75\00:02:05.15
of this dreadful virus.
00:02:05.19\00:02:07.66
Sporting events
have been cancelled
00:02:07.69\00:02:10.36
and even
Disneyland has closed down.
00:02:10.39\00:02:13.63
It's a disaster when
Disneyland closes down,
00:02:13.66\00:02:16.13
believe me.
00:02:16.16\00:02:17.50
Flights to Europe from
America have been cancelled.
00:02:17.53\00:02:21.30
Italy is in a lockdown
00:02:21.34\00:02:25.07
and thousands
are dying in Italy.
00:02:25.11\00:02:30.51
India is also in lockdown.
00:02:30.55\00:02:33.28
Australia is in lockdown.
00:02:33.31\00:02:35.38
Spain... We can go on and on.
00:02:35.42\00:02:38.69
Here in Los Angeles,
00:02:38.72\00:02:40.06
we've been told to stay home.
00:02:40.09\00:02:44.43
You'll notice today we
don't have an audience.
00:02:44.46\00:02:47.40
I'm here in the studio,
the Carter Report studio
00:02:47.43\00:02:49.96
in Southern
California by myself.
00:02:50.00\00:02:53.64
We have no camera people.
00:02:53.67\00:02:55.94
Can you believe this?
00:02:55.97\00:02:57.84
The cameras are on lockdown.
00:02:57.87\00:02:59.71
We have no camera people.
00:02:59.74\00:03:03.28
So I'm here today in
the studio by myself.
00:03:03.31\00:03:07.32
This is sort of a wakeup call.
00:03:07.35\00:03:10.85
Our own
evangelistic campaign in Manila
00:03:10.89\00:03:13.86
has been cancelled
00:03:13.89\00:03:16.12
or put on hold.
00:03:16.16\00:03:18.79
I was on my way to
Manila via Australia,
00:03:18.83\00:03:22.63
had my ticket in my hand,
00:03:22.66\00:03:25.50
got through Australia
00:03:25.53\00:03:27.44
so my body clock would adjust
to the different time zones.
00:03:27.47\00:03:31.94
And then I had to turn
around and come back to America
00:03:31.97\00:03:36.64
because Manila was closed down.
00:03:36.68\00:03:39.81
No flights from
Australia to the Philippines.
00:03:39.85\00:03:43.25
Manila is a closed city.
00:03:43.28\00:03:47.86
Now before we go
any farther today,
00:03:47.89\00:03:50.63
I wanna have a prayer with you.
00:03:50.66\00:03:51.99
I wanna have a really
earnest prayer with you
00:03:52.03\00:03:54.93
because of the
crisis of the moment.
00:03:54.96\00:03:56.60
I mean, telling
folks, asking folks
00:03:59.63\00:04:02.07
if you want a special
prayer for your loved ones,
00:04:02.10\00:04:04.47
those with COVID-19,
00:04:04.51\00:04:08.58
I've been saying also
for those on the frontline,
00:04:08.61\00:04:11.35
our doctors and our nurses.
00:04:11.38\00:04:14.65
If you want us to pray for them,
00:04:14.68\00:04:16.28
please send me their names.
00:04:16.32\00:04:19.62
I would like to pray for them.
00:04:19.65\00:04:20.99
So people who
have been sending me
00:04:21.02\00:04:23.12
the names of
doctors and so forth.
00:04:23.16\00:04:24.96
And I'm going to
start with my own daughter,
00:04:24.99\00:04:28.03
our own daughter,
00:04:28.06\00:04:30.00
Julie Carter Haring,

00:05:39.07\00:05:43.27
My friend, let us pray
today for these people.
00:05:43.30\00:05:46.78
Would you bow your heads?
00:05:46.81\00:05:48.14
Oh, my Father,
00:05:48.18\00:05:50.61
we thank You
today for the Bible.
00:05:50.65\00:05:52.25
We thank You for Christ.
00:05:52.28\00:05:54.65
We thank You for salvation
in the mighty name of Jesus.
00:05:54.68\00:05:58.99
And we thank You
that Jesus is Lord
00:05:59.02\00:06:03.09
and He's Lord
over the coronavirus.
00:06:03.12\00:06:06.09
We pray for all of these doctors
00:06:06.13\00:06:07.80
and these nurses.
00:06:07.83\00:06:09.63
We pray for the
doctors and the nurses
00:06:09.66\00:06:12.43
around the world,
00:06:12.47\00:06:13.94
across this great
land of the United States
00:06:13.97\00:06:17.84
and everywhere.
00:06:17.87\00:06:19.21
We pray that You'll put
Your hand upon them, Lord,
00:06:19.24\00:06:21.91
and in the name of
Jesus, protect them.
00:06:21.94\00:06:25.81
We pray for our people.
00:06:25.85\00:06:27.32
We pray for
those who are suffering
00:06:27.35\00:06:29.45
from this dreadful virus.
00:06:29.48\00:06:33.05
Our prayer is even
so come, Lord Jesus.
00:06:33.09\00:06:36.83
Bless Your people.
00:06:36.86\00:06:38.89
And according to
Your riches and glory,
00:06:38.93\00:06:41.33
we pray that you will restrain
00:06:41.36\00:06:45.43
COVID-19.
00:06:45.47\00:06:48.17
Hear our prayer, oh, Lord,
00:06:48.20\00:06:50.81
for Jesus' sake, amen and amen.
00:06:50.84\00:06:54.88
And you can send me
your prayer requests
00:06:54.91\00:06:57.51
and I'll do everything I can.
00:06:57.55\00:07:00.75
What can we do?
00:07:00.78\00:07:03.39
First and foremost,
we shall not be afraid.
00:07:03.42\00:07:06.76
You folks hear what
I'm saying here today?
00:07:06.79\00:07:09.22
I don't have an
audience here in the studio,
00:07:09.26\00:07:11.49
but I'm talking to
you around the world.
00:07:11.53\00:07:16.13
We shall not be afraid.
00:07:16.16\00:07:21.04
I'm gonna turn to
a text, Psalm 23:4.
00:07:21.07\00:07:25.14
Now this is a
text, I'd say to you,
00:07:25.17\00:07:28.51
that you ought to
learn or by heart it,
00:07:28.54\00:07:30.48
if you don't know it
00:07:30.51\00:07:32.21
because we need
to get these texts
00:07:32.25\00:07:35.15
into our minds,
00:07:35.18\00:07:36.95
because we're living in
a great time of trouble.
00:07:36.99\00:07:41.32
Psalm 23...
00:07:41.36\00:07:42.89
But God is alive.
00:07:42.92\00:07:45.53
Psalm 23:4,
00:07:45.56\00:07:47.43
"Yea, though I
walk through the valley
00:07:47.46\00:07:51.83
of the shadow of death,
00:07:51.87\00:07:56.14
I will fear no evil,
00:07:56.17\00:08:00.28
for You are with me.
00:08:00.31\00:08:02.14
Your rod and Your
staff, they comfort me."
00:08:02.18\00:08:04.91
Praise God!
00:08:04.95\00:08:07.75
Number of years ago
00:08:07.78\00:08:09.12
when I was in
Russia in St. Petersburg,
00:08:09.15\00:08:11.39
we ran this campaign in
this vast palace, a spot,
00:08:11.42\00:08:15.26
packed to the doors,
00:08:15.29\00:08:16.79
night after
night, night after night.
00:08:16.83\00:08:19.69
But I'd been working so hard
00:08:19.73\00:08:22.43
that I got dreadfully sick.
00:08:22.46\00:08:26.00
And I was rushed
in a Russian ambulance
00:08:26.03\00:08:30.74
into this great
Russian hospital.
00:08:30.77\00:08:34.94
And I was there by myself alone.
00:08:34.98\00:08:40.12
Nobody could speak English.
00:08:40.15\00:08:43.69
One night, my blood
pressure went down, down, down.
00:08:43.72\00:08:48.12
I was able to take it.
I knew it was critical.
00:08:48.16\00:08:51.16
It's going to kill me.
00:08:51.19\00:08:53.86
And so I got my Bible
open and I read Psalm 23.
00:08:53.90\00:08:57.80
"Even though I walk
00:08:57.83\00:08:59.17
through the valley
of the shadow of death,
00:08:59.20\00:09:01.30
I will fear no evil."
00:09:01.34\00:09:04.61
I want to tell
you folks something.
00:09:04.64\00:09:06.07
I want you to hear this.
00:09:06.11\00:09:08.74
We're not just talking
00:09:08.78\00:09:10.11
on a bunch of
religion here today.
00:09:10.15\00:09:12.55
We're talking the
truth of the Bible.
00:09:12.58\00:09:16.12
And whatever ever happens,
I want you to know this.
00:09:16.15\00:09:19.99
We will fear no evil.
00:09:20.02\00:09:23.32
With God, we're never
alone, we are never forsaken.
00:09:23.36\00:09:27.76
God has
promised us eternal life,
00:09:27.80\00:09:29.86
so we shall not
fear that coronavirus.
00:09:29.90\00:09:33.54
I want you to take
your Bible if you can.
00:09:33.57\00:09:35.94
Come over here to John 11:23-27.
00:09:35.97\00:09:40.44
John 11:23-27.
00:09:40.48\00:09:47.02
"Jesus said to her,
'Your brother will rise again.'
00:09:47.05\00:09:51.92
Martha said to Him, 'I
know that he will rise again
00:09:51.95\00:09:54.66
in the
resurrection at the last day.'
00:09:54.69\00:09:58.59
Jesus said to her,
00:09:58.63\00:10:00.30
'I am the
resurrection and the life.
00:10:00.33\00:10:02.36
He who believes in Me,
00:10:02.40\00:10:04.57
though he may
die, he shall live.
00:10:04.60\00:10:06.53
And whoever lives
and believes in Me
00:10:06.57\00:10:08.64
shall never die.
00:10:08.67\00:10:10.01
Do you believe this?'"
00:10:10.04\00:10:12.57
Now good people are going to die
00:10:12.61\00:10:14.98
and are dying
with the coronavirus.
00:10:15.01\00:10:19.45
But if you are in Christ,
00:10:19.48\00:10:22.22
you'll have everlasting life.
00:10:22.25\00:10:25.02
I want you to believe this.
00:10:25.05\00:10:26.72
We're not gonna be
afraid of this thing.
00:10:26.76\00:10:29.29
We're not gonna be
afraid of this thing.
00:10:29.32\00:10:33.36
We shall not be afraid.
00:10:33.40\00:10:36.20
But we shall know the
facts and act intelligently.
00:10:36.23\00:10:39.63
Do you wanna know the facts?
00:10:39.67\00:10:42.24
Now facts are sometimes
very, very inconvenient.
00:10:42.27\00:10:47.21
You know the first
casualty of a war, my friend?
00:10:47.24\00:10:51.11
The first casualty of a
war, do you know what it is,
00:10:51.15\00:10:54.22
brother, sister?
00:10:54.25\00:10:56.82
It's the truth.
00:10:56.85\00:10:58.89
And we are in a time of war.
00:10:58.92\00:11:01.69
And we're in great danger
of getting away from the truth
00:11:01.72\00:11:05.19
and a bit of writing the truth.
00:11:05.23\00:11:07.30
But I wanna tell
you, by the grace of God,
00:11:07.33\00:11:09.56
I'm here today to
tell you the truth
00:11:09.60\00:11:14.40
because if we have the truth,
00:11:14.44\00:11:17.14
the truth will set us free.
00:11:17.17\00:11:19.17
And let me say this,
we're not gonna be afraid,
00:11:19.21\00:11:22.54
but we should all know the facts
00:11:22.58\00:11:24.58
and we shall act intelligently.
00:11:24.61\00:11:28.45
And here's some facts
about the coronavirus.
00:11:28.48\00:11:32.92
There's one thing that
I wanna make very plain.
00:11:32.95\00:11:37.63
There's no place in this
00:11:37.66\00:11:39.03
for anti-Asian sentiment.
00:11:39.06\00:11:42.80
This has been happening
00:11:42.83\00:11:44.17
in the United States of America.
00:11:44.20\00:11:46.17
Some Asians have been harassed.
00:11:46.20\00:11:51.04
There's no time for
anti-Chinese sentiment.
00:11:51.07\00:11:54.51
We love the Chinese people.
God loves the Chinese people.
00:11:54.54\00:11:58.65
God wants the Chinese
people to come to Christ.
00:11:58.68\00:12:03.59
And I need to
tell you the facts.
00:12:03.62\00:12:05.02
So did you get a plane?
00:12:05.05\00:12:07.22
Is there room for racism
00:12:07.26\00:12:08.96
or anti-Asian
sentiments or feelings?
00:12:08.99\00:12:13.33
In fact, the Carter
Report, we employ Asians,
00:12:13.36\00:12:16.16
we love Asian people.
00:12:16.20\00:12:18.37
We employ Chinese people.
00:12:18.40\00:12:20.94
They're great
workers, I tell you.
00:12:20.97\00:12:24.31
But some leading
00:12:24.34\00:12:26.78
Chinese communist officials
00:12:26.81\00:12:30.05
have been making
the outrageous claim
00:12:30.08\00:12:32.85
that America is
responsible for the coronavirus.
00:12:32.88\00:12:37.92
They've been
telling the people in Italy.
00:12:37.95\00:12:41.09
They've been
spreading it all around China
00:12:41.12\00:12:43.69
and around the world.
00:12:43.73\00:12:46.86
This is plain
communist propaganda
00:12:46.90\00:12:48.86
to shift the
spotlight of where it belongs,
00:12:48.90\00:12:52.97
on China and her food markets.
00:12:53.00\00:12:57.87
During October 2019,
00:12:57.91\00:13:00.64
there was the
Military World Games
00:13:00.68\00:13:03.24
in Wuhan,
00:13:03.28\00:13:06.35
and Americans
attended, soldiers.
00:13:06.38\00:13:10.25
Supposedly,
00:13:10.29\00:13:12.75
the Americans
infected the local food market,
00:13:12.79\00:13:17.23
where animals are
sold with the virus
00:13:17.26\00:13:20.66
that had been
invented by the CIA.
00:13:20.70\00:13:25.43
Now you listen carefully.
00:13:25.47\00:13:28.07
This story has also
been spread by Zvezda,
00:13:28.10\00:13:32.31
founded by the
Russian Defense Ministry.
00:13:32.34\00:13:34.74
It is being
spread around the world.
00:13:34.78\00:13:39.28
But it is communist propaganda
00:13:39.31\00:13:42.28
and an enormous lie.
00:13:42.32\00:13:44.85
Now these
remarks are not a slight
00:13:48.66\00:13:50.46
to the Chinese people.
00:13:50.49\00:13:53.93
If I'm disagreeing with anybody,
00:13:53.96\00:13:55.96
I'm disagreeing with
the communist leadership
00:13:56.00\00:13:59.43
who have been
spreading this outrageous lie.
00:13:59.47\00:14:04.57
Here is the plain truth.
00:14:04.61\00:14:07.21
You ready for the truth?
00:14:07.24\00:14:08.58
It is a custom of
some of the Chinese people,
00:14:11.48\00:14:14.28
especially those in rural areas,
00:14:14.32\00:14:17.82
to eat wild animals
00:14:17.85\00:14:20.72
that are sold in the markets.
00:14:20.76\00:14:23.73
These animals include
dogs, cats, wolf pups, snakes,
00:14:23.76\00:14:28.70
hedgehogs, rats,
00:14:28.73\00:14:31.80
and bats.
00:14:31.83\00:14:34.24
The coronavirus has
come from these markets.
00:14:34.27\00:14:37.41
Listen, are you listening to me?
00:14:37.44\00:14:41.64
COVID-19
00:14:41.68\00:14:43.81
is an animal virus
00:14:43.85\00:14:48.12
that is now affecting multitudes
00:14:48.15\00:14:50.22
around the world.
00:14:50.25\00:14:52.85
I'm going to give you a
stipend from the Walker Books.
00:14:52.89\00:14:54.82
I know this is gonna
be sort of controversial
00:14:54.86\00:14:59.13
because we live in an
age of political correctness.
00:14:59.16\00:15:03.06
And you got to say something
00:15:03.10\00:15:04.43
that's going to
appeal to everybody,
00:15:04.47\00:15:05.80
and everybody's going to like.
00:15:05.83\00:15:07.34
Well, I'm afraid I'm
not that sort of person.
00:15:07.37\00:15:10.91
I believe in the truth.
00:15:10.94\00:15:12.27
Have you ever wondered
00:15:15.08\00:15:16.81
why the Jewish
people are so smart
00:15:16.85\00:15:19.75
and live so long?
00:15:19.78\00:15:22.18
And...
00:15:22.22\00:15:24.29
They're in the top echelons
00:15:24.32\00:15:29.42
of the most
prestigious professions.
00:15:29.46\00:15:31.39
Have you ever wondered why?
00:15:31.43\00:15:34.06
Some of my best
friends are Jewish people,
00:15:34.10\00:15:36.03
and I admire them.
00:15:36.06\00:15:39.17
And the Jewish people
for thousands of years
00:15:39.20\00:15:41.60
have followed their health
laws of the Old Testament.
00:15:41.64\00:15:46.04
Did you know that the
Bible is a Jewish book?
00:15:46.07\00:15:49.11
No, no, no, no, no.
00:15:49.14\00:15:50.68
Oh, I'm sorry, friend.
00:15:50.71\00:15:53.28
All of the Apostles were Jews.
00:15:53.31\00:15:55.45
Jesus was a Jew.
00:15:55.48\00:15:57.39
The great St. Paul was a
Jew, he's a greatest theologian.
00:15:57.42\00:16:01.92
All of the people
of the Old Testament,
00:16:01.96\00:16:03.53
all are Jewish.
00:16:03.56\00:16:04.89
And so the Bible
is a Jewish book,
00:16:08.96\00:16:12.33
but it's been
given to everybody.
00:16:12.37\00:16:15.90
And as a Christian,
I embrace the Bible.
00:16:15.94\00:16:19.97
The New Testament
about Jesus, my blessed Lord,
00:16:20.01\00:16:23.68
and I also
embrace, wait for this.
00:16:23.71\00:16:28.08
The health laws of the Bible,
00:16:28.12\00:16:32.89
health laws of the Bible.
00:16:32.92\00:16:34.26
Here the Jewish people
have been following these
00:16:34.29\00:16:36.12
for thousands of years.
00:16:36.16\00:16:37.76
And that is one reason
why they are so strong.
00:16:37.79\00:16:41.50
Now if you come to the
Book of Leviticus Chapter 11.
00:16:41.53\00:16:45.47
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
00:16:45.50\00:16:48.47
you have some amazing
and wonderful health laws.
00:16:48.50\00:16:53.41
A lot of people say to me,
00:16:53.44\00:16:55.28
"You know, we never
heard this stuff before."
00:16:55.31\00:16:57.75
Well, my friend,
all you got to do,
00:16:57.78\00:17:00.15
all you got to do is
read it in the Bible.
00:17:00.18\00:17:02.58
Here it is,
00:17:02.62\00:17:03.95
Leviticus 11:41 and 42.
00:17:03.99\00:17:10.06
Here it comes.
00:17:10.09\00:17:12.23
"And every creeping
thing that creeps on the earth
00:17:12.26\00:17:14.50
shall be an abomination.
00:17:14.53\00:17:16.26
It shall not be eaten.
00:17:16.30\00:17:18.23
Whatever crawls on its belly,
whatever goes on all fours
00:17:18.27\00:17:21.44
or whatever has many feet
00:17:21.47\00:17:23.74
among all creeping
things that creep on the earth,
00:17:23.77\00:17:26.34
you shall not eat,
00:17:26.37\00:17:28.24
for they are an abomination."
00:17:28.28\00:17:30.55
So the Bible
says, don't eat snakes.
00:17:30.58\00:17:34.25
Don't eat these animals
00:17:34.28\00:17:37.02
like dogs and cats and rats.
00:17:37.05\00:17:41.19
And then Verse 44,
00:17:41.22\00:17:43.66
is that of the same chapter?
00:17:43.69\00:17:46.76
"For I am the Lord your God.
00:17:46.80\00:17:49.06
You shall therefore
consecrate yourselves
00:17:49.10\00:17:51.53
and you shall be
holy, for I am holy.
00:17:51.57\00:17:54.24
Neither shall
you defile yourself
00:17:54.27\00:17:56.30
with any creeping thing
that creeps on the earth."
00:17:56.34\00:18:00.18
But many people have not
had the advantage that we have
00:18:00.21\00:18:03.11
of knowing these
health laws of the Bible.
00:18:03.14\00:18:07.15
And then let me see
00:18:07.18\00:18:08.78
Leviticus 11:7 and 8.
00:18:08.82\00:18:14.66
It says, "And the swine."
00:18:14.69\00:18:16.52
Oh!
00:18:16.56\00:18:17.89
"And the swine,
though divides the hoof,
00:18:17.93\00:18:20.70
having cloven hooves,
00:18:20.73\00:18:22.40
yet does not chew the cud,
00:18:22.43\00:18:24.80
is unclean to you.
00:18:24.83\00:18:27.70
Their flesh you shall not eat,
00:18:27.74\00:18:29.67
and their carcasses
you shall not touch.
00:18:29.70\00:18:32.54
They are unclean to you."
00:18:32.57\00:18:34.74
So the Bible talks
about certain animals
00:18:34.78\00:18:37.61
that are basically unclean.
00:18:37.65\00:18:40.52
Verse 12, says,
00:18:40.55\00:18:42.48
"Whatever in the water
does not have fins or scales,"
00:18:42.52\00:18:46.45
like salmon, so forth,
00:18:46.49\00:18:49.12
"that shall be an
abomination to you."
00:18:49.16\00:18:51.16
There are some
fish that are clean,
00:18:51.19\00:18:53.50
and there are some
creatures in the sea,
00:18:53.53\00:18:55.90
the Bible says, don't eat them.
00:18:55.93\00:18:59.27
They're unclean.
00:18:59.30\00:19:00.70
And Verse 13, and 19,
00:19:00.74\00:19:04.71
"Among these you shall regard
00:19:04.74\00:19:06.84
as an
abomination among the birds."
00:19:06.88\00:19:09.54
Hey, you're listening?
00:19:09.58\00:19:11.68
"They shall not be
eaten, they are an abomination,
00:19:11.71\00:19:14.25
the eagle, the
voucher, the buzzard."
00:19:14.28\00:19:19.15
Then verse, where is it?
00:19:19.19\00:19:21.79
Verse 14, I don't
wanna lose this text.
00:19:21.82\00:19:25.86
I gave you Verse 13.
00:19:25.89\00:19:27.30
Now we come down to Verse 19.
00:19:27.33\00:19:31.43
"The stork, the
heron after its kind,
00:19:31.47\00:19:35.87
the hoopoe, and the bat."
00:19:35.90\00:19:40.38
The bat gets a mentionable...
00:19:40.41\00:19:42.34
An honorable mention, I
should say or dishonorable.
00:19:45.38\00:19:49.95
The Bible says
don't eat those creatures.
00:19:49.98\00:19:53.25
And the Bible actually
says don't eat the bat.
00:19:53.29\00:19:57.79
Don't eat those things
that crawl along the ground.
00:19:57.83\00:20:02.70
So the Bible says this,
00:20:02.73\00:20:05.63
Bible said it
thousands of years ago,
00:20:05.67\00:20:07.57
"Don't eat
snakes, don't eat dogs,
00:20:07.60\00:20:10.54
don't eat
hedgehogs, don't eat pigs,
00:20:10.57\00:20:14.24
and don't eat bats."
00:20:14.28\00:20:17.95
And that's one reason
why the Jews live so long.
00:20:17.98\00:20:21.95
Why they have
such a remarkable race?
00:20:21.98\00:20:25.35
Why are they so smart?
00:20:25.39\00:20:27.59
Because they have followed
00:20:27.62\00:20:29.02
the divinely inspired
health laws of the Bible.
00:20:29.06\00:20:32.99
Now God knows more than you
00:20:33.03\00:20:35.00
and I know about those
things that we can eat.
00:20:35.03\00:20:38.60
Now some of my friends tell me,
00:20:38.63\00:20:40.64
"But Jesus said
everything was clean."
00:20:40.67\00:20:43.51
I have to answer this one.
00:20:43.54\00:20:47.08
So my friend said,
00:20:47.11\00:20:48.44
"Jesus said,
everything is clean."
00:20:48.48\00:20:51.15
That's the teaching
of the New Testament.
00:20:51.18\00:20:52.78
We can eat anything.
00:20:52.81\00:20:54.15
So I say to them, "Hey,
would you eat a cockroach?
00:20:54.18\00:20:58.52
Would you do that?
00:20:58.55\00:21:00.02
Would eat a rat?"
00:21:00.06\00:21:01.39
Well, I said, "Well, you know,
00:21:01.42\00:21:02.76
there's some
things we wouldn't eat
00:21:02.79\00:21:04.13
because obvious,
here, obviously."
00:21:04.16\00:21:07.06
And the Bible tells us,
00:21:07.10\00:21:08.43
obviously the
things that are fit to eat
00:21:08.46\00:21:10.87
and the things
that aren't fit to eat,
00:21:10.90\00:21:13.64
and this virus came from places
00:21:13.67\00:21:17.07
where they were
eating unclean foods.
00:21:17.11\00:21:21.01
I want you to look at Mark 7:1-3
00:21:21.04\00:21:24.78
because this is a
passage that is thrown at me
00:21:24.81\00:21:27.22
on occasions by people who say
00:21:27.25\00:21:29.52
that you can eat anything
because everything's clean.
00:21:29.55\00:21:32.62
"Then the Pharisees
00:21:32.65\00:21:33.99
and some of the
scribes came together to Him,
00:21:34.02\00:21:35.99
having come from Jerusalem.
00:21:36.02\00:21:37.66
Now when they saw
00:21:37.69\00:21:39.03
some of His disciples
eat bread was defiled,
00:21:39.06\00:21:42.13
that is, with unwashed
hands, they found fault.
00:21:42.16\00:21:46.87
For the Pharisees and
all the Jews do not eat
00:21:46.90\00:21:49.34
unless they wash their
hands in a special way,
00:21:49.37\00:21:52.67
holding the
tradition of the elders."
00:21:52.71\00:21:55.31
Now I wanna say to my friends,
00:21:55.34\00:21:57.55
Jesus here apparently
is against this ceremony
00:21:57.58\00:22:02.15
of washing your
hands, apparently.
00:22:02.18\00:22:04.99
That's what Jesus is against.
00:22:05.02\00:22:07.26
But every person
believes in washing their hands.
00:22:07.29\00:22:10.79
If you don't
wash your hands today
00:22:10.83\00:22:12.96
with this terrible virus around,
00:22:12.99\00:22:15.06
you just might kill yourself.
00:22:15.10\00:22:18.27
But Jesus here is talking about
something that the Jews did,
00:22:18.30\00:22:22.24
the Pharisees did
00:22:22.27\00:22:24.27
because they thought that
00:22:24.31\00:22:26.51
outward washing made
a person inwardly clean.
00:22:26.54\00:22:29.54
Now Jesus said,
00:22:29.58\00:22:30.91
just because you clean outside
doesn't make you clean inside.
00:22:30.95\00:22:35.38
And in the same chapter,
00:22:35.42\00:22:36.75
He spoke about all
types of other things,
00:22:36.79\00:22:39.12
and He made a summary,
00:22:39.15\00:22:41.22
thus making all things clean.
00:22:41.26\00:22:44.86
And Jesus was talking
about the ceremonial law.
00:22:44.89\00:22:48.03
There's no such
thing as a ceremonially
00:22:48.06\00:22:51.20
unclean animal.
00:22:51.23\00:22:53.64
But do you and I
believe in washing our hands
00:22:53.67\00:22:56.37
because it's healthy.
00:22:56.40\00:22:58.87
And the Bible tells us
that there are some foods
00:22:58.91\00:23:02.08
if you eat those animals,
00:23:02.11\00:23:04.25
they're going to
make you very sick.
00:23:04.28\00:23:06.61
And in fact,
00:23:06.65\00:23:08.28
they just may kill you.
00:23:08.32\00:23:11.65
And so the Jews, my friend,
00:23:11.69\00:23:14.16
the Jews got it right.
00:23:14.19\00:23:16.69
And if that book
had been followed,
00:23:16.73\00:23:18.76
just listen to this.
00:23:18.79\00:23:20.13
This is tremendously
politically incorrect,
00:23:20.16\00:23:22.86
but so be it.
00:23:22.90\00:23:25.10
If the Chinese people in Wuhan
00:23:25.13\00:23:29.17
had followed the teachings
of Leviticus Chapter 11,
00:23:29.20\00:23:33.27
we wouldn't have
this crisis today
00:23:33.31\00:23:36.71
because COVID-19,
00:23:36.75\00:23:39.65
the coronavirus came from Wuhan,
00:23:39.68\00:23:44.05
and it came from these markets
00:23:44.09\00:23:46.65
where they are
selling these wild animals.
00:23:46.69\00:23:51.09
I'm gonna quote you
from the National Geographic.
00:23:51.13\00:23:53.43
I got a lot of
things to tell you folks.
00:23:53.46\00:23:56.53
National Geographic says,
00:23:56.56\00:23:58.77
"The government in
China allows 54 wild species
00:23:58.80\00:24:01.84
to be bred on farms and sold,"
00:24:01.87\00:24:04.47
including snakes, cats, dogs.
00:24:04.51\00:24:07.44
"In the markets
animals are dying.
00:24:07.48\00:24:09.44
They're thirsty.
00:24:09.48\00:24:10.81
They're in rusty
cages and totally dirty."
00:24:10.85\00:24:14.48
It says, "They
may be missing limbs
00:24:14.52\00:24:17.12
or have open wounds
from the capture in the wild
00:24:17.15\00:24:20.66
or injury sustained
during transportation."
00:24:20.69\00:24:25.29
"The traders don't
handle them gently,
00:24:25.33\00:24:27.26
they smash their
cages down to the floor
00:24:27.30\00:24:30.60
when loading or unloading,
00:24:30.63\00:24:32.53
the animal suffers a lot."
00:24:32.57\00:24:36.37
Why isn't there
a worldwide protest
00:24:36.40\00:24:38.24
against this
inhuman trafficking?
00:24:38.27\00:24:42.14
The National Geographic says,
00:24:45.18\00:24:47.22
"The chaos of the trade
00:24:47.25\00:24:48.62
enables the spread
of zoonotic disease.
00:24:48.65\00:24:53.79
Those that spread
from animals to human,"
00:24:53.82\00:24:56.09
says Christian Walter,
00:24:56.12\00:24:58.23
Chief Global Veterinarian
00:24:58.26\00:25:00.83
at the US based
Wildlife Conservation Society,
00:25:00.86\00:25:05.20
"Wild animals," he explains,
00:25:05.23\00:25:08.07
"can carry viruses
that in a normal world
00:25:08.10\00:25:11.77
would not come into
contact with humans.
00:25:11.81\00:25:15.38
These carriers aren't sick.
00:25:15.41\00:25:17.78
They're simple,
silent reservoirs.
00:25:17.81\00:25:20.78
But as we encroach
into animals habitats,
00:25:20.82\00:25:24.29
we increase our exposure."
00:25:24.32\00:25:26.65
This is where it's come from.
00:25:26.69\00:25:29.86
"Animals heaped in
cages on top of each other.
00:25:29.89\00:25:33.26
They are sick, they are
dying, they are bleeding,
00:25:33.29\00:25:36.87
they are
defecating over each other."
00:25:36.90\00:25:39.33
Horror! Horror! Horror!
00:25:39.37\00:25:41.40
"They are exchanging viruses.
00:25:41.44\00:25:43.84
They are eaten by the
people who have given us
00:25:43.87\00:25:47.58
COVID-19 the pandemic."
00:25:47.61\00:25:51.85
It would never have happened
00:25:51.88\00:25:55.38
if the people in Wuhan
00:25:55.42\00:25:58.55
had followed the
remarkable teachings
00:25:58.59\00:26:02.52
of Leviticus Chapter 11.
00:26:02.56\00:26:05.63
Thank God for the Bible.
00:26:05.66\00:26:09.50
Now these remarks
are not anti-Chinese
00:26:09.53\00:26:12.50
but anti-abuse of animals.
00:26:12.53\00:26:15.70
The Chinese
government has passed a law
00:26:15.74\00:26:17.74
that forbids the
sale of wild animals.
00:26:17.77\00:26:19.67
They did it before,
so it might happen again.
00:26:19.71\00:26:23.58
I've got some
amazing truths to tell you
00:26:23.61\00:26:27.18
about COVID-19.
00:26:27.22\00:26:30.05
Stay with me, please.
00:26:30.09\00:26:31.65
This is a time
00:26:31.69\00:26:33.92
of national
worldwide of urgency.
00:26:33.96\00:26:37.69
I'll be back. Stay with us.
00:26:37.73\00:26:39.89
This is a Carter Report
update on the coronavirus.
00:26:52.94\00:26:56.08
Events around the globe
00:26:56.11\00:26:57.45
are being
postponed and cancelled.
00:26:57.48\00:26:59.31
We do not know how long
our lives will be disrupted,
00:26:59.35\00:27:02.05
but this we do know
the virus will be stopped.
00:27:02.08\00:27:05.22
Health officials
have asked all of us
00:27:05.25\00:27:07.42
to use caution when travelling,
00:27:07.46\00:27:09.16
wash your
hands, and avoid crowds
00:27:09.19\00:27:10.99
as much as possible.
00:27:11.03\00:27:12.36
The John Carter
Gospel program in Manila
00:27:12.39\00:27:14.86
will take place
in the near future.
00:27:14.90\00:27:17.27
Until then,
00:27:17.30\00:27:18.63
may we all take
refuge in the Holy Spirit
00:27:18.67\00:27:20.67
and know that God's grace
00:27:20.70\00:27:22.30
will guide us
through this unsettling time.
00:27:22.34\00:27:24.91
Let us pray for a quick recovery
00:27:24.94\00:27:26.94
for those and their
families touched by the virus.
00:27:26.98\00:27:30.91
As we continue to provide you
with new Carter Report programs
00:27:30.95\00:27:35.15
know that the Lord
is watching over us.
00:27:35.18\00:27:37.79
We appreciate you,

time when you're financial

and prayerful support
will help us reach those
00:27:43.89\00:27:46.76
who perhaps for the first time
are turning to God for comfort.
