[Sound of a plane landing] 00:00:19.51\00:00:26.15 >>John Bradshaw: This is It Is Written. 00:00:26.19\00:00:27.82 I'm John Bradshaw. 00:00:27.86\00:00:29.06 Thanks for joining me for part two of our five-part series, 00:00:29.09\00:00:32.49 "Conspiracy, More Than Just a Theory." 00:00:32.53\00:00:35.80 Now, the problem with conspiracy theories 00:00:35.83\00:00:38.17 is that they don't rest on proof. 00:00:38.20\00:00:41.10 You don't need any proof at all to establish the veracity 00:00:41.14\00:00:44.27 of a conspiracy theory. 00:00:44.31\00:00:45.57 You just need doubt. 00:00:45.61\00:00:47.88 Doubt and a healthy dose of mistrust-- 00:00:47.91\00:00:50.78 or maybe that's an unhealthy dose of mistrust. 00:00:50.81\00:00:54.55 Add some secrecy, add the fact that at times 00:00:54.58\00:00:58.09 the government has acted reprehensibly-- 00:00:58.12\00:01:00.26 think, for example, 00:01:00.29\00:01:01.62 of the ghastly Tuskegee medical experiments of last century-- 00:01:01.66\00:01:06.23 and you'll find people who are willing to believe 00:01:06.26\00:01:08.53 that you cannot trust anyone, that the truth is being hidden, 00:01:08.56\00:01:13.30 and that things are definitely not as they appear. 00:01:13.34\00:01:16.81 ¤[Soft ominous music]¤ 00:01:16.84\00:01:19.11 The vast majority of books written about the murder 00:01:19.14\00:01:21.71 of former president John F. Kennedy 00:01:21.74\00:01:24.08 suggest that there was a conspiracy 00:01:24.11\00:01:26.28 surrounding his death. 00:01:26.31\00:01:28.15 You've heard Elvis Presley's death was faked, 00:01:28.18\00:01:31.32 that Hitler survived World War II, 00:01:31.35\00:01:33.02 that Denver International Airport-- 00:01:33.05\00:01:35.99 well, that's been linked to every conspiracy theory 00:01:36.02\00:01:38.83 under the sun. 00:01:38.86\00:01:39.56 [Beeping, indistinct voices] 00:01:39.59\00:01:40.80 Conspiracy theories about politicians are common, 00:01:40.83\00:01:43.23 and you don't have to go very far at all to find people 00:01:43.26\00:01:46.07 who tell you that the government is keeping 00:01:46.10\00:01:48.80 what it knows about aliens at Area 51 a secret, 00:01:48.84\00:01:53.51 or that the earth is actually flat, 00:01:53.54\00:01:55.38 and the government is keeping that a secret, too. 00:01:55.41\00:01:58.05 No concrete proof for any of it, 00:01:58.08\00:02:00.65 but questions, unanswered questions sometimes, 00:02:00.68\00:02:04.62 and unsubstantiated claims made amid a ton of suspicion. 00:02:04.65\00:02:09.42 What is undeniable is that the Bible speaks about 00:02:10.09\00:02:12.26 a massive global conspiracy affecting the entire world, 00:02:12.29\00:02:16.20 including you and me, right now. 00:02:16.23\00:02:19.13 And there's no lack of evidence for this. 00:02:19.17\00:02:21.50 The evidence is everywhere. 00:02:21.54\00:02:23.04 The Bible speaks about it at great length. 00:02:23.07\00:02:26.04 ¤[Soft somber music]¤ 00:02:26.07\00:02:28.81 The fact that fewer and fewer people seem to be interested 00:02:28.84\00:02:32.08 in a genuine global conspiracy is really rather incredible, 00:02:32.11\00:02:36.72 especially when you consider that people are willing 00:02:36.75\00:02:39.42 to believe... 00:02:39.45\00:02:41.06 Well, in 2016, 00:02:41.09\00:02:43.29 about a month after the US presidential election, 00:02:43.32\00:02:46.06 a man drove from his home in North Carolina 00:02:46.09\00:02:48.53 to Washington, DC, armed with an assault rifle and a revolver, 00:02:48.56\00:02:53.50 owing to something that's become known as Pizzagate. 00:02:53.54\00:02:57.54 The word on the internet was that a pizzeria 00:02:57.57\00:02:59.81 in Washington, DC, 00:02:59.84\00:03:01.94 was the center of a ghastly child trafficking ring, 00:03:01.98\00:03:05.21 with connections to some of the country's 00:03:05.25\00:03:06.88 most influential political figures. 00:03:06.92\00:03:09.68 The man entered the pizza restaurant in broad daylight 00:03:09.72\00:03:12.92 and fired several shots as he attempted to find 00:03:12.95\00:03:16.96 the poor children and free them from the basement 00:03:16.99\00:03:19.63 in which they were being held captive. 00:03:19.66\00:03:22.23 But no, there weren't any children there 00:03:22.26\00:03:23.87 being trafficked at all. 00:03:23.90\00:03:25.97 The restaurant didn't even have a basement. 00:03:26.00\00:03:28.67 Lives were terribly affected by this conspiracy. 00:03:28.70\00:03:31.41 Imagine your business receiving 150 threatening phone calls 00:03:31.44\00:03:35.44 a day, and your staff members and your family members 00:03:35.48\00:03:39.01 receiving death threats. 00:03:39.05\00:03:41.15 The man was sentenced to four years in a federal prison 00:03:41.18\00:03:44.45 for believing and then acting on deliberate misinformation. 00:03:44.49\00:03:50.16 Now, again, it's not that the government 00:03:50.19\00:03:52.19 or any other organization has always acted entirely 00:03:52.23\00:03:55.76 above board, but you've got to be willing to believe 00:03:55.80\00:03:58.90 the very worst about people to go there in your thinking. 00:03:58.93\00:04:03.17 A huge spiritual conspiracy involving the entire planet 00:04:03.20\00:04:06.94 is being overlooked while people discuss and believe 00:04:06.98\00:04:10.35 that a pizza restaurant is ground zero for horrific crimes 00:04:10.38\00:04:14.55 with the participation of politicians, 00:04:14.58\00:04:17.55 and there was never any evidence, 00:04:17.59\00:04:18.92 never any reason to believe it was true. 00:04:18.95\00:04:22.46 Has to take a pretty massive amount of distrust 00:04:22.49\00:04:24.83 of the government to believe what we're going to look at now. 00:04:24.86\00:04:28.03 Keep in mind there's a global conspiracy being missed, 00:04:28.06\00:04:32.63 and yet something like this is believed by intelligent people. 00:04:32.67\00:04:36.81 Look up on any clear day 00:04:36.84\00:04:39.04 and, depending on where you're located, 00:04:39.07\00:04:41.01 you'll see vapor trails crisscrossing the sky, 00:04:41.04\00:04:44.11 and you think to yourself, "Airplanes," 00:04:44.15\00:04:46.31 because, of course, airplanes produce exhaust emissions. 00:04:46.35\00:04:49.95 But there are people who are convinced that the trails 00:04:49.98\00:04:53.05 left behind in the sky by planes are actually evidence 00:04:53.09\00:04:57.26 that the government is involved in geoengineering, 00:04:57.29\00:05:00.63 geoengineering that not only affects the world's weather 00:05:00.66\00:05:04.23 but also poisons the environment. 00:05:04.27\00:05:07.40 It's believed chemtrails, chemical trails, 00:05:07.44\00:05:10.81 are a government-sponsored conspiracy, 00:05:10.84\00:05:13.78 that chemicals such as aluminum and strontium are sprayed 00:05:13.81\00:05:16.71 into the atmosphere, and then they fall to the ground. 00:05:16.75\00:05:19.98 Now, it's said this is ostensibly for the purpose 00:05:20.02\00:05:21.85 of weather modification, 00:05:21.88\00:05:23.55 but it's been blamed for bad weather, 00:05:23.59\00:05:25.29 depletion of the ozone layer, pH changes in the soil, 00:05:25.32\00:05:29.92 and on and on. 00:05:29.96\00:05:31.26 Well, I've come here to talk with Terry Hess. 00:05:31.29\00:05:34.20 Mr. Hess is a pilot, 00:05:34.23\00:05:36.13 and he knows a thing or two about the subject. 00:05:36.16\00:05:39.60 >>Terry Hess: I'm a corporate pilot. 00:05:40.34\00:05:41.97 I fly for corporations in private jets. 00:05:42.00\00:05:44.07 >>John: Okay, around where? Which part of the United States? 00:05:44.11\00:05:46.81 >>Terry: Mostly eastern half of the U.S. 00:05:46.84\00:05:48.41 >>John: Okay, so, you, you see a little bit? 00:05:48.44\00:05:50.28 >>Terry: I do. 00:05:50.31\00:05:51.08 >>John: You interact with pilots? 00:05:51.11\00:05:52.15 >>Terry: I do. 00:05:52.18\00:05:53.05 >>John: You're in and out of airports? 00:05:53.08\00:05:54.28 >>Terry: I do. 00:05:54.32\00:05:55.28 >>John: You understand the aviation industry? 00:05:55.32\00:05:56.92 >>Terry: I believe so. 00:05:56.95\00:05:58.15 >>John: Tell me, uh, tell me how much you know about planes? 00:05:58.19\00:05:59.89 That's a very open-ended question. 00:05:59.92\00:06:01.16 What do you know about planes? 00:06:01.19\00:06:02.22 >>Terry: It's all I've done since I was a freshman 00:06:02.26\00:06:04.13 in high school. 00:06:04.16\00:06:05.29 So, I started pretty early, and, uh, I've been around. 00:06:05.33\00:06:08.83 I did flight instruction, worked for the airlines. 00:06:08.86\00:06:11.57 And then we've started our own private company 00:06:11.60\00:06:13.40 offering, uh, private jet service. 00:06:13.44\00:06:15.37 >>John: Okay, now, when you say you worked for the airlines-- 00:06:15.40\00:06:18.27 tell me a little bit about that. 00:06:18.31\00:06:19.34 >>Terry: I was a, uh, first officer, a captain, 00:06:19.37\00:06:21.81 and instructor pilot for, uh, several airlines. 00:06:21.84\00:06:24.75 >>John: Okay, so you've worked in the United States. 00:06:24.78\00:06:26.85 You, you've flown in other countries? 00:06:26.88\00:06:28.58 >>Terry: I have. 00:06:28.62\00:06:29.65 I did work, uh, domestically as well as in India, 00:06:29.68\00:06:32.05 a large part in India, 00:06:32.09\00:06:33.25 as well as Solomon Islands, Western Pacific. 00:06:33.29\00:06:35.49 >>John: Okay, so that's a variety of places 00:06:35.52\00:06:37.59 in which you've worked. 00:06:37.63\00:06:39.33 So, you're familiar with contrails, condensation trails? 00:06:39.36\00:06:45.07 >>Terry: Correct. 00:06:45.10\00:06:46.20 >>John: That, that path that planes leave in the sky? 00:06:46.23\00:06:48.27 >>Terry: Correct. 00:06:48.30\00:06:49.27 >>John: Can you explain to me what they are? 00:06:49.30\00:06:50.41 >>Terry: It's just, uh, when the atmosphere is right, 00:06:50.44\00:06:52.61 meaning the moisture content at the high altitudes 00:06:52.64\00:06:54.98 combined with the colder temperatures, 00:06:55.01\00:06:57.31 when the engine goes through the air, 00:06:57.35\00:06:59.21 it heats that air up, and that's what produces the condensation, 00:06:59.25\00:07:03.15 and it leaves a trail behind. 00:07:03.18\00:07:04.29 It's a naturally occurring event, 00:07:04.32\00:07:06.65 as a byproduct of the heat of the engine. 00:07:06.69\00:07:08.92 >>John: Now, you don't have to go too terribly far 00:07:08.96\00:07:13.50 to find people who will say that contrails, 00:07:13.53\00:07:17.13 condensation trails-- 00:07:17.17\00:07:18.23 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:07:18.27\00:07:19.33 >>John: ...are actually chemtrails, chemical trails. 00:07:19.37\00:07:22.94 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:07:22.97\00:07:23.87 >>John: What have you heard about that? 00:07:23.91\00:07:25.01 >>Terry: Well, it's just not true. 00:07:25.04\00:07:26.17 I mean, what most people see in the sky is a contrail. 00:07:26.21\00:07:30.28 Is it plausible to have a chemtrail, 00:07:30.31\00:07:32.65 or a, a government agency producing chemical, 00:07:32.68\00:07:37.22 uh, products and injecting them in the atmosphere? 00:07:37.25\00:07:39.82 It's plausible. I've never seen it, though. 00:07:39.85\00:07:41.66 >>John: So it could happen? 00:07:41.69\00:07:42.99 >>Terry: It could happen. 00:07:43.02\00:07:44.09 >>John: All right. We're opening a can of worms here. 00:07:44.13\00:07:45.49 [Terry Laughs] It could happen. 00:07:45.53\00:07:47.00 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:07:47.03\00:07:47.76 >>John: So, that leads me to this. 00:07:47.83\00:07:49.36 There are 600,000-plus pilots, depending on how you count, 00:07:49.40\00:07:54.70 in the United States alone. 00:07:54.74\00:07:56.14 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:07:56.17\00:07:57.11 >>John: About a quarter of a million of them 00:07:57.14\00:07:58.71 fly commercially. 00:07:58.74\00:08:00.11 >>Terry: Correct. 00:08:00.14\00:08:02.04 >>John: You know these men and women. 00:08:02.08\00:08:04.75 You interact with them; you train with them; 00:08:04.78\00:08:06.98 you eat in the breakroom with them. 00:08:07.02\00:08:09.15 >>Terry: Right. 00:08:09.18\00:08:10.09 >>John: You sit on the shuttle with them. 00:08:10.12\00:08:11.49 Pilots talk, right? 00:08:11.52\00:08:13.39 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:08:13.42\00:08:14.26 >>John: Okay, they talk. Share stories? 00:08:14.29\00:08:16.02 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:08:16.06\00:08:16.66 >>John: Share experiences? 00:08:16.69\00:08:17.79 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:08:17.83\00:08:18.76 >>John: Say what they know? Raise concerns? 00:08:18.79\00:08:20.40 >>Terry: Right. 00:08:20.43\00:08:21.06 >>John: Complain about the boss? 00:08:21.10\00:08:22.20 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:08:22.23\00:08:23.00 >>John: Talk about the government? 00:08:23.03\00:08:23.67 >>Terry: [laughs] Right. 00:08:23.70\00:08:25.57 >>John: From your point of view as a pilot, a businessman-- 00:08:25.60\00:08:28.50 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:08:28.54\00:08:30.41 >>John: ...does it appear possible that there could be 00:08:30.44\00:08:34.38 a conspiracy of this magnitude-- 00:08:34.41\00:08:36.51 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:08:36.54\00:08:37.51 >>John: ...without it being common knowledge 00:08:37.55\00:08:39.31 among the, the pilots themselves? 00:08:39.35\00:08:41.78 >>Terry: I don't believe so. 00:08:41.82\00:08:43.02 I think, uh, the pilots would see it, if it was in action. 00:08:43.05\00:08:46.49 But you're right. Uh, I've never seen it. 00:08:46.52\00:08:48.42 It's definitely not part of the airline atmosphere. 00:08:48.46\00:08:50.83 It's not part of the corporate atmosphere. 00:08:50.86\00:08:52.83 And our skies are full of corporate 00:08:52.86\00:08:54.60 and, uh, airline aircraft. 00:08:54.63\00:08:55.96 So, somebody would, would likely witness such an event. 00:08:56.00\00:09:00.60 >>John: Okay, so, from your perspective on the inside-- 00:09:00.64\00:09:03.71 you're an industry insider-- 00:09:03.74\00:09:05.94 what would it have to take for something like this-- 00:09:05.97\00:09:11.15 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:09:11.18\00:09:12.28 >>John: ...the government involved in geoengineering 00:09:12.31\00:09:14.68 in a way that it's poisoning people 00:09:14.72\00:09:17.49 and ruining the environment 00:09:17.52\00:09:18.45 and causing sickness, illness, so forth-- 00:09:18.49\00:09:20.76 what would it have to take for something like that 00:09:20.79\00:09:22.82 to be carried out? 00:09:22.86\00:09:23.99 >>Terry: It'd be a large-scale effort involved, 00:09:24.03\00:09:26.23 certainly an airforce of substantial size. 00:09:26.26\00:09:29.40 A lot of aircraft would have to be converted to tankering 00:09:29.43\00:09:32.63 the materials, injecting those material at high altitudes. 00:09:32.67\00:09:36.10 It is plausible to do so, um, but it'd be a very large effort, 00:09:36.14\00:09:40.61 especially in the sense to, uh, change the weather 00:09:40.64\00:09:44.25 and the atmospheric conditions to produce rain, 00:09:44.28\00:09:47.25 which is--I believe the theory is that they produce chemtrails 00:09:47.28\00:09:50.12 that produce rain. 00:09:50.15\00:09:51.75 To alter Mother Nature in such a form, 00:09:51.79\00:09:54.32 it would involve, in my opinion, 00:09:54.36\00:09:56.19 a very large-scale operation that would be very detectible. 00:09:56.22\00:10:00.26 >>John: Now, what I've heard as well is that they, 00:10:00.30\00:10:03.40 they seed the atmosphere with these chemicals in an effort 00:10:03.43\00:10:06.77 to combat global warming because then it will... 00:10:06.80\00:10:09.27 bounce the sunlight off this chemical blanket and back up 00:10:09.30\00:10:12.74 into the sky. 00:10:12.77\00:10:13.71 Now, you know enough about the environment, 00:10:13.74\00:10:15.81 about the way nature works and air patterns work 00:10:15.84\00:10:18.01 to have a, a thought on that. 00:10:18.05\00:10:20.32 Does that seem likely to you? 00:10:20.35\00:10:22.75 >>Terry: It seems... very unlikely. 00:10:22.78\00:10:25.52 It would be an unpractical-- the scale to do so, 00:10:25.55\00:10:29.92 to blanket the earth in a substantial manner 00:10:29.96\00:10:32.79 to produce rain, in my opinion, would be very unpractical. 00:10:32.83\00:10:39.63 Um, is it plausible? 00:10:39.67\00:10:40.70 It could happen, 00:10:40.74\00:10:41.80 but the scale to produce results would be huge. 00:10:41.84\00:10:46.41 Uh, so, I guess, in my opinion, very difficult to pull off. 00:10:46.44\00:10:50.45 >>John: What interests me about the theory of bouncing 00:10:50.48\00:10:52.88 the sunlight back up towards the sun is that this would, 00:10:52.91\00:10:57.15 it is said, create a blanket 00:10:57.19\00:10:58.42 that would then trap heat down here. 00:10:58.45\00:11:01.06 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:11:01.09\00:11:01.92 >>John: So it does seem, doesn't it, 00:11:01.96\00:11:03.79 that this is a little outside the scope of likelihood? 00:11:03.83\00:11:08.76 >>Terry: Yeah, it would be a big challenge. 00:11:08.80\00:11:10.27 Uh, I'd actually be very interested to see the attempts, 00:11:10.30\00:11:13.87 if it was ever attempted. 00:11:13.90\00:11:16.07 Um, you got to go back to the, what produces rain. 00:11:16.10\00:11:20.68 Uh, what produces rain is the sun's uneven heating 00:11:20.71\00:11:24.51 of the earth surface. 00:11:24.55\00:11:26.18 And so, actually, diversity of the earth surface 00:11:26.21\00:11:30.05 is what creates rain. 00:11:30.09\00:11:31.45 You have, uh, areas of, say, a freshly plowed field-- 00:11:31.49\00:11:36.12 that's, uh, dark soil. 00:11:36.16\00:11:37.79 It attracts the light, attracts the heat. 00:11:37.83\00:11:39.79 It'll produce a lot of heat, 00:11:39.83\00:11:42.20 and then an area of water or an area of trees is cooler. 00:11:42.23\00:11:46.00 And so that cycle of air is what produces the lifting action 00:11:46.03\00:11:50.07 that would carry moisture up. 00:11:50.11\00:11:51.81 It condensates and forms rain. 00:11:51.84\00:11:54.28 So to do a chemtrail from 40,000 feet, 00:11:54.31\00:11:58.88 um, to produce a cloud that would cool the earth 00:11:58.91\00:12:03.32 in one spot, leaving other spots hot, in my opinion, 00:12:03.35\00:12:06.96 that would be a pretty substantial effort 00:12:06.99\00:12:09.22 to make that happen. 00:12:09.26\00:12:10.26 >>John: Okay, so let's say they're doing this. 00:12:10.29\00:12:11.59 Let's just, let's just imagine that. 00:12:11.63\00:12:12.79 Let's say the government's got some conspiracy underfoot, 00:12:12.83\00:12:16.30 and they're equipping planes, 00:12:16.33\00:12:18.00 and they're, they're seeding the atmosphere with thus and so, 00:12:18.03\00:12:21.40 and I don't know where it's changing the weather, 00:12:21.44\00:12:23.07 but evidently it is. 00:12:23.10\00:12:24.17 And then it's poisoning us down here. 00:12:24.21\00:12:25.54 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:12:25.57\00:12:26.54 >>John: So...pretending for a moment they are, 00:12:26.57\00:12:30.55 where would they be doing it? 00:12:30.58\00:12:32.35 You, you're the pilot. 00:12:32.38\00:12:33.55 >>Terry: Mm-hmm. 00:12:33.58\00:12:34.48 >>John: Where would they be conducting, 00:12:34.52\00:12:36.05 where would they be outfitting the planes 00:12:36.08\00:12:37.69 and recruiting the pilots from? 00:12:37.72\00:12:39.25 Where could you imagine that happening? 00:12:39.29\00:12:41.26 >>Terry: I would say it'd have to be, 00:12:41.29\00:12:42.62 it would have to be a government agency. 00:12:42.66\00:12:44.46 I don't think it would be in the private sector. 00:12:44.49\00:12:46.36 >>John: Okay, so there's, there'd have to be 00:12:46.39\00:12:47.96 a government agency somewhere doing all of this 00:12:48.00\00:12:52.30 that nobody knows anything about? 00:12:52.33\00:12:53.70 >>Terry: Correct. 00:12:53.74\00:12:54.90 >>John: Okay, so that would be a big thing, wouldn't it? 00:12:54.94\00:12:55.70 >>Terry: It would. 00:12:55.74\00:12:56.64 >>John: And the pilots would have to be-- 00:12:56.67\00:12:58.74 I mean, look, I just don't know, 00:12:58.77\00:13:01.04 and I don't suppose you do, either. 00:13:01.08\00:13:02.38 >>Terry: So the pilots would probably be just, 00:13:02.41\00:13:04.05 uh, pilots that are trained in that type of airplane. 00:13:04.08\00:13:06.28 So the, the airplanes that do, say, air-to-air refueling, 00:13:06.31\00:13:09.38 the military ones, KC-135s, 00:13:09.42\00:13:11.55 these are large airliners that have been converted 00:13:11.59\00:13:14.76 with tanks and such. 00:13:14.79\00:13:16.46 In my vision, if it was to be pulled off, 00:13:16.49\00:13:18.59 they would use a similar architecture to, uh, 00:13:18.63\00:13:21.73 use these tanker aircraft to inject, uh, the material 00:13:21.76\00:13:25.50 into the atmosphere. 00:13:25.53\00:13:26.40 >>John: Okay. 00:13:26.43\00:13:27.40 So we've assumed there's a way to get it done, 00:13:27.44\00:13:29.37 if it was, if we really wanted to get it done. 00:13:29.40\00:13:33.31 There'd have to be people in your industry 00:13:33.34\00:13:36.95 blogging about this-- 00:13:36.98\00:13:38.58 >>Terry: Right. 00:13:38.61\00:13:39.28 >>John: ...writing about this-- 00:13:39.31\00:13:39.98 >>Terry: Right. 00:13:40.02\00:13:40.68 >>John: ...spilling the beans. 00:13:40.72\00:13:41.68 Wouldn't there, wouldn't there just have to be? 00:13:41.72\00:13:43.62 >>Terry: I agree. 00:13:43.65\00:13:44.49 It'd be very difficult to pull it off 00:13:44.52\00:13:46.15 without somebody noticing. 00:13:46.19\00:13:47.82 Uh, the airline pilots are floating around; 00:13:47.86\00:13:49.52 it's the same--and the corporate aircraft 00:13:49.56\00:13:51.19 are in the same air space that this would be conducted, 00:13:51.23\00:13:53.86 and if you're going to produce a cloud that's substantial enough 00:13:53.90\00:13:56.73 to reflect the light of the sun, to produce a rain cloud, 00:13:56.77\00:13:59.77 it'd be very large, and it would be visible, 00:13:59.80\00:14:02.94 certainly, for other pilots to see. 00:14:02.97\00:14:04.44 >>John: Do you see a day coming when the government 00:14:04.47\00:14:08.74 of the United States is deliberately poisoning 00:14:08.78\00:14:12.51 the environment, sickening us all, 00:14:12.55\00:14:15.32 doing so right under our noses, not telling us? 00:14:15.35\00:14:18.72 Does that seem at all likely to you? 00:14:18.75\00:14:21.66 >>Terry: I do not see a pilot that would engage 00:14:21.69\00:14:24.79 in such a matter. 00:14:24.83\00:14:26.06 I don't believe that, uh, I'm certainly hoping the government 00:14:26.09\00:14:28.50 wouldn't do something like that. 00:14:28.53\00:14:29.96 Uh, I don't believe it happens, no. 00:14:30.00\00:14:32.50 >>John: Now, again, what doesn't help 00:14:33.17\00:14:35.27 is that governments have done things that they've kept secret. 00:14:35.30\00:14:39.01 And then people find out and say, 00:14:39.04\00:14:41.18 "Well, that just proves that anything is possible." 00:14:41.21\00:14:45.15 But let's talk about what's really possible. 00:14:45.18\00:14:47.92 In fact, what's actually going on now. 00:14:47.95\00:14:50.82 And this conspiracy is big. 00:14:50.85\00:14:53.02 And it's real. 00:14:53.05\00:14:55.02 I'll have more in a moment. 00:14:55.06\00:14:57.93 ¤[Music]¤ 00:14:57.96\00:15:05.33 >>Announcer: Christians have looked for the signs 00:15:06.63\00:15:08.17 of Jesus' return for thousands of years. 00:15:08.20\00:15:11.04 But what does the Bible say we should be looking for?

00:16:51.27\00:16:55.28 When the world was created, it was a perfect world. 00:16:55.31\00:16:57.88 No death, no sadness, no sin. 00:16:57.91\00:17:02.12 Now, let's think about this. What is sin? 00:17:02.15\00:17:04.15 Well, 1 John 3, verse 4 says 00:17:04.19\00:17:05.95 that "sin is the transgression of the law." 00:17:05.99\00:17:09.02 Put another way, it's living outside the will of God. 00:17:09.06\00:17:12.66 In another place, 00:17:12.69\00:17:13.90 the Bible says that anything that "is not of faith is sin." 00:17:13.93\00:17:17.93 That's Romans 14:23. 00:17:17.97\00:17:20.00 And where did sin come from? 00:17:21.00\00:17:23.64 Why are we here in this sinful world in the first place? 00:17:23.67\00:17:27.48 Well, here's what we know from the Bible. 00:17:27.51\00:17:29.38 Revelation 12 tells us that there was war in heaven 00:17:29.41\00:17:33.31 between angels that were loyal to God and angels who chose 00:17:33.35\00:17:37.19 to stand with Lucifer, who became Satan. 00:17:37.22\00:17:39.82 Satan became divisive in heaven. 00:17:39.85\00:17:43.83 But over what? 00:17:43.86\00:17:46.09 Isaiah chapter 14 tells us, 00:17:46.13\00:17:48.50 "How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! 00:17:48.53\00:17:52.67 How are you cut down to the ground, 00:17:52.70\00:17:54.60 you who weakened the nations! 00:17:54.64\00:17:56.81 For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, 00:17:56.84\00:18:01.21 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; 00:18:01.24\00:18:04.25 I will also sit on the mount of the congregation 00:18:04.28\00:18:07.22 on the farthest sides of the north; 00:18:07.25\00:18:10.19 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, 00:18:10.22\00:18:13.62 I will be like the Most High.'" 00:18:13.66\00:18:16.99 It was Satan's desire to sit in God's place. 00:18:18.16\00:18:22.33 He wanted rulership. Simply put, he wanted worship. 00:18:22.36\00:18:27.60 Ezekiel chapter 28 tells us a similar story, 00:18:27.64\00:18:30.21 starting in verse 14: 00:18:30.24\00:18:32.37 "You were the anointed cherub who covers; 00:18:32.41\00:18:34.88 I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; 00:18:34.91\00:18:38.91 you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 00:18:38.95\00:18:42.78 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, 00:18:42.82\00:18:46.15 till iniquity was found in you. 00:18:46.19\00:18:48.89 By the abundance of your trading 00:18:48.92\00:18:50.76 you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; 00:18:50.79\00:18:55.66 therefore I cast you as a profane thing 00:18:55.70\00:18:58.87 out of the mountain of God; 00:18:58.90\00:19:00.94 and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, 00:19:00.97\00:19:03.04 from the midst of the fiery stones. 00:19:03.07\00:19:05.34 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; 00:19:05.37\00:19:08.91 you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor." 00:19:08.94\00:19:13.18 Lucifer was privileged. 00:19:13.21\00:19:15.35 He occupied an exalted place among the angels of God. 00:19:15.38\00:19:19.02 But he came to the place where he coveted worship, 00:19:19.05\00:19:21.72 the worship that rightfully belongs only to God. 00:19:21.76\00:19:26.29 You ask yourself why an angel of God in heaven would want 00:19:26.33\00:19:28.80 to jeopardize all that he had. 00:19:28.83\00:19:31.07 You can't really find answers for that. 00:19:31.10\00:19:33.94 But isn't that what happens 00:19:33.97\00:19:34.87 when a husband jeopardizes his marriage? 00:19:34.90\00:19:37.04 Or someone jeopardizes their future by anger or malice, 00:19:37.07\00:19:39.84 or when someone embezzles money from their employer, 00:19:39.87\00:19:42.08 or does something equally mindless? 00:19:42.11\00:19:44.41 How did they ever expect to get away with that? 00:19:44.45\00:19:47.38 You see, sin can't be explained. 00:19:47.42\00:19:49.62 It's self-indulgence rather than surrender to God; 00:19:49.65\00:19:53.66 we know that much. 00:19:53.69\00:19:55.09 Satan was on a mission, a mission to undermine 00:19:55.12\00:19:58.66 the authority and the government of God. 00:19:58.69\00:20:01.56 And that helps explain much of what we see in the world today. 00:20:01.60\00:20:05.47 When Satan came to the earth to tempt Adam and Eve, 00:20:05.50\00:20:08.40 he knew he had to get them to manifest distrust in God. 00:20:08.44\00:20:12.34 If they could exercise a lack of faith in God, 00:20:12.37\00:20:15.08 they'd be lost. 00:20:15.11\00:20:15.88 Satan knew that. 00:20:15.91\00:20:17.61 And what was true then is true today. 00:20:17.65\00:20:20.48 Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 59, verse 2, 00:20:20.52\00:20:22.95 that sin separates a person from God. 00:20:22.98\00:20:26.96 When Adam and Eve chose to rebel against God 00:20:26.99\00:20:29.99 and eat the fruit He told them not to eat, that was sin. 00:20:30.03\00:20:33.80 And what does sin bring with it? 00:20:33.83\00:20:35.46 It brings death. 00:20:35.50\00:20:37.47 Because separation from God ends in death. 00:20:37.50\00:20:40.90 Life is found only in God. 00:20:40.94\00:20:44.04 That's why the Bible says today, "He who has the Son has life; 00:20:44.07\00:20:48.11 he who does not have the Son of God does not have life." 00:20:48.14\00:20:52.28 First John 5, verse 12. 00:20:52.31\00:20:54.08 Outside of God there's no life. 00:20:54.12\00:20:56.99 Connected to God through Christ, there is life. 00:20:57.02\00:21:02.19 Paul wrote that "the wages of sin is death" in Romans 6:23. 00:21:02.22\00:21:06.49 Sin brings death. 00:21:06.53\00:21:07.96 And that's what Satan sowed when he came into the world. 00:21:07.96\00:21:11.97 But what was God's response? 00:21:12.00\00:21:14.04 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, 00:21:14.07\00:21:17.81 that whosoever believeth in Him 00:21:17.84\00:21:19.54 should not perish, but have everlasting life." 00:21:19.57\00:21:22.68 John 3:16. 00:21:22.71\00:21:24.55 Jesus would die for our sins. 00:21:24.58\00:21:27.25 The eternal Son of God would experience death 00:21:27.28\00:21:29.82 so that we could experience everlasting life. 00:21:29.85\00:21:33.59 Sin is so deadly, 00:21:33.62\00:21:34.99 but God's love for you is so great that divinity was prepared 00:21:35.02\00:21:40.16 to go to a cross so that you might live. 00:21:40.20\00:21:43.97 There is a Savior today, and the enemy knows that. 00:21:44.00\00:21:47.87 He wants you to forget that, wants you to be distracted, 00:21:47.90\00:21:51.31 to forget God, to get too busy to pray. 00:21:51.34\00:21:54.91 You know, in the parable of the sower, 00:21:54.94\00:21:56.41 seed fell on four different types of ground. 00:21:56.44\00:21:59.28 There was good ground. 00:21:59.31\00:22:00.78 There was also seed that fell on the wayside, 00:22:00.82\00:22:03.49 another kind of ground. 00:22:03.52\00:22:04.99 But then there was seed that fell in shallow soil. 00:22:05.02\00:22:08.32 Remember that there was seed that fell among thorns. 00:22:08.36\00:22:11.43 And what was that? 00:22:11.46\00:22:12.83 Mark 4, verse 7: 00:22:12.86\00:22:14.23 "Some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up 00:22:14.30\00:22:18.13 and choked it, and it yielded no crop." 00:22:18.17\00:22:21.67 Jesus said later in the chapter 00:22:21.70\00:22:23.14 that "the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, 00:22:23.17\00:22:28.18 and the desires for other things 00:22:28.21\00:22:29.98 entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful." 00:22:30.01\00:22:34.95 Satan has this figured out. 00:22:34.98\00:22:37.55 He's been studying human nature for thousands of years, 00:22:37.59\00:22:40.32 and he knows what works. 00:22:40.36\00:22:41.99 And he knows what works for you. 00:22:42.02\00:22:44.39 If he can distract you, discourage you, 00:22:44.43\00:22:46.53 lure you into sin, away from the heart of God, 00:22:46.56\00:22:50.13 away from the security that God provides, 00:22:50.17\00:22:53.90 then he knows he's got you. 00:22:53.94\00:22:56.64 I'll be back with more in just a moment. 00:22:56.67\00:22:58.37 ¤[Music]¤ 00:22:58.41\00:23:05.35 >>John: Thank you for remembering 00:23:07.02\00:23:08.12 that It Is Written exists 00:23:08.15\00:23:09.68 because of the kindness of people just like you. 00:23:09.72\00:23:12.49 To support this international life-changing ministry, 00:23:12.52\00:23:15.59 please call us now at 800-253-3000. 00:23:15.62\00:23:19.89 You can send your tax-deductible gift 00:23:19.93\00:23:21.43 to the address on your screen 00:23:21.46\00:23:22.90 or you can visit us online at itiswritten.com. 00:23:22.93\00:23:26.60 Thank you for your prayers and for your financial support. 00:23:26.63\00:23:29.57 Our number again is 800-253-3000, 00:23:29.60\00:23:33.61 or you can visit us online at itiswritten.com. 00:23:33.64\00:23:36.68 >>John: You can't live without it, 00:23:37.51\00:23:39.51 but it can be a challenge to live with it. 00:23:39.55\00:23:42.48 The Bible says a lot about it, 00:23:42.52\00:23:44.62 and there are people everywhere who haven't handled it well. 00:23:44.65\00:23:48.26 Most of us think that if we only had more money, 00:23:48.29\00:23:51.16 our problems would be over. 00:23:51.19\00:23:53.33 But in many cases, 00:23:53.36\00:23:55.10 more money means your problems have only just begun. 00:23:55.13\00:23:59.07 Your blessings can easily become a curse. 00:23:59.10\00:24:02.80 Don't miss "The Love of Money," 00:24:02.84\00:24:05.21 featuring author, teacher, and financial expert Julian Archer. 00:24:05.24\00:24:10.35 "The Love of Money," 00:24:10.38\00:24:11.81 exploring issues of finance and faith in God. 00:24:11.85\00:24:15.25 Finding the balance between relying on dollars and cents 00:24:15.28\00:24:18.82 and relying on the God who provides blessing. 00:24:18.85\00:24:21.92 You can have enough, 00:24:21.96\00:24:23.76 and you don't have to lose focus on what's really important. 00:24:23.79\00:24:27.56 Don't miss "The Love of Money" 00:24:27.60\00:24:29.96 on It Is Written TV. 00:24:30.00\00:24:33.03 ¤[Music]¤ 00:24:33.07\00:24:36.10 >>John Bradshaw: Thanks for joining me today 00:24:37.84\00:24:39.41 on It Is Written. 00:24:39.44\00:24:41.11 Consider this: 00:24:41.14\00:24:42.84 Why do you think there's so much temptation today?
