The Plain Truth is so Happy That You Have Been Enjoying Bob’s Broadcasts.
2000 years ago, a newscaster that we know of as Jesus Christ warned us about false Christianity. The warning was not against the devil but against false Christianity…about people who come in His name and deceive many.
Hello, this is Bob Barney with today’s Friday wrap-up for the week, brought to you by ThePlainTruth.com, which gives you Your Health Today, The Message Board, and these podcasts, called PlainTruthToday.com. But what I wanted to get into today first for the first part of the segment of this program is what we did most of the week, and at least my commentaries and some of the things that we were playing all week long on The Plain Truth Today. And that is God’s ability to inject himself into the news. As I always say, and I want to say this again, always new listeners, I think, ThePlainTruth.com, The Plain Truth is all about the news.We’re not a religion. We’re not a church. We’re talking about God’s hand in the news, because God is the greatest newscaster, Jesus Christ, on this earth when he was a man, and also the greatest news maker.And we are seeing a lot of news happening that I think God’s hand is in, and we’re trying to explain it all. One of the things that we talked about, it was the reemergence of Germany as a world power, and Japan as a world power, and what that could mean to the state of the world’s peace. Because as I’ve been saying, Russia is not the enemy this time around.We’re going to do a program later on Russia is Gog and Magog in your Bible. And a lot of people, we’re probably going to do a show on this, but a lot of people think that Ezekiel 37 was completed when Israel, the Jewish nation of Israel, which should be called Judah and not Israel, was reformed back in 1948. And people thought that was the conclusion or the fulfillment of Ezekiel 37, dry bones prophecy, where bones would come alive again.And people even like Benjamin Netanyahu believes that that was fulfilled, Ezekiel 37 that is, was fulfilled with the new state of Israel. It is not. If you read the Bible, in which we’ll get into this at another program, I’m just going to make a blanket statement, Gog and Magog does not raise its ugly head this time around.It raises its ugly head if you just go to Revelation, you can easily understand Ezekiel 37, which by the way says when Ezekiel 37 happens, King David would be the king over Israel. That’s not happened in 1948 that I’m aware of. But when you go to Revelation, you see that Gog and Magog is the power that attacks a peaceful Jerusalem and Israel after the millennium.Jesus Christ is reigning on earth when Gog and Magog attacks Jerusalem and is defeated for one last great battle. But that does not happen until after the millennium. That’s one thing that we have to understand if you’re going to understand the news, who the players are.One of the funny things that I saw happen, and this was Thursday, was this meeting between Putin, Xi Jinping, leader of North Korea, and the leader of India, was this talk about living forever. They had this hot mic moment where Putin was telling the other two how 70 is like the new babyhood, it’s like the new 20, and that with body parts and changing body parts and all this new technology and medicine, that people could live 150 years or maybe forever. Well, if you understand the Bible and you understand and believe in God, God gave us three score and 10 years is a great life.That 70 years old is a great life according to God. Also, there is a reading of the Bible in Genesis, and I agree with this reading, by the way, that God gave the lifespan, the maximum lifespan after the flood of about 120 years. Now, you may say, well, Abraham lived to be 180, Jacob 130, but you notice that after the flood, within a few generations, 120 years seemed to be the maximum lifespan of anyone.And to this day, and we do this on the Plain Truth Message Board all the time, we have an article that we keep adding to, is how to live to be 100 years old, and you’ll see that anytime somebody reaches 114, 115, 116 years old, that’s about the end of their life, because God has put a limit on the lifespan of human beings, and that is not going to change until the millennium. It’s that simple. And anyone who thinks it’s going to through modern science and modern genetic research and organ transplants simply do not understand the plan of God.And the plan of God is we have a limited lifespan and we have to make the best of it and hope for a resurrection from the dead. And it was really funny to listen to that commentary because these world leaders, and I’ve said this before, Vladimir Putin is an idiot, Xi Jinping is an idiot, the leader of North Korea is an idiot, because all they’re doing is they are setting up the stage for Germany and the Eastern, I should say Central Europe, reuniting into a new Holy Roman Empire. China is empowering Japan.We have programs, and I hope you go back and listen to them if you didn’t, my commentary on the Japanese and German situation right now, but also other YouTube videos we put up showing you how Japan especially is no longer going to depend on the United States security for their existence. For a long time, General MacArthur wrote the Constitution for Japan, which outlawed a military. Right now, Japan is building a military into the third largest expenditures on military in the world.We are number one, China is number two, Japan is number three, and yes, Germany is number four, Russia is not even there. And so you can see that these moronic leaders of the communists,and they’re really fascist nations, they’re not communists, are really setting the stage for theirown demise. I said this in a broadcast on the Japan thing.Can you imagine 200, 300 Japanese kamikaze pilots flying into China, minutes away, instead of a bomb like they did in World War II, crashing into aircraft carriers and battleships? No, they’ll be crashing into cities with H-bombs, which will destroy the entire city. In a matter of moments, China could find itself a billion people short after all these kamikaze Japanese A-bombs, H-bombs enter their country with kamikaze type jets and destroy China as we know it. And that is probably going to happen, or China is going to capitulate to a militarized Japan in the future.I predict it’s going to happen. I believe it’s going to happen. And I ask our listeners and our readers of The Plain Truth to keep watching Europe and watching Japan, because we’re going to have a World War II scenario all over again.Hitler decided to make war not only with Russia and Western Europe and America, he also made war with the Catholic Church, which was his demise. The Antichrist coming out of the Holy Roman Empire is going to actually be aligned with the Catholic Church, and a Pope, the false Pope that it is, he’s the false prophet of Revelation, is going to aid this Antichrist in his rise to power. And this is all being set now with the moronic policies of Russia, of China, of North Korea, and many of the Muslim dictators of the world.They are making the world unstable. Donald Trump and a lot of presidents before him, because we are a debtor nation today, we’re not a nation that is strong anymore, we are forcing people to rearm and to defend themselves. It sounds good on paper, but when you realize who’s going to rearm and what their ultimate aim is going to be, it is not going to be very good.This show of force that China did with Russia there, with these parades of all their military might, and there’s some reports that Putin is going to actually help China build a great nuclear arsenal,but that’s not going to do them any good when they are attacked before they can do anything.And remember, when the militaristic people of Japan take charge again, they’re not worried aboutJapan being destroyed. We saw that in World War II.They’re ready to fight to the very end. And I don’t think the Chinese people are ready to die that quickly, and I think they will capitulate to the Japanese as they did in World War II. And that 200 million man army we’re talking about in Revelation that’s coming from the East is probably Chinese soldiers, but probably Japanese generals leading them after they take control of China that falls to the newly rearmed Japan, who will become a monster of the Pacific, where Europe, the Holy Roman Empire of Europe, will become the monster of all of Europe and most of the world.And the United States by this time is either going to be in captivity or we’re going to just be anothing nation to be able to do anything. And we’re seeing that now. I’m trying to warn people that we’re seeing that now.President Trump, Trump 2.0 as he’s called, is not the same as Trump 1.0. Trump 1.0 was a very strong leader. Right now he’s a very weak leader and his weakness is showing. To this day, we still do not have any sanctions against Russia for what they’re doing to Ukraine.We are not stepping up to the plate, and Europe is starting to do so. We’re seeing a great right-wing movement taking hold in Germany. We’re seeing it in Italy.We’re actually even seeing it in Israeli nations, the true lost Israel nations of France, Denmark, Scandinavia, where military people are starting to get power. And that is to defend themselves against Russian aggression, which they will be able to do. They are, Central Europe that is, Germany, Italy, Greece, those kinds of places are going to be the king of the North, where the Antichrist comes out of.And the other superpower that’s going to arise is the king of the South, which is a United Statesof Arab nations, or I should say Muslim nations, and that is the two power brokers. And then we see a third power broker of a 200 million man army, obviously from China, but who controls that army is yet to be seen. So what we’re doing in the diplomacy of this administration and prioradministrations since Ronald Reagan is we are changing our leadership role in the world, and it’s not going to end up good for the world.It’s going to end up in Jesus Christ’s plans when he has to come back to save the world from itself, because it appears like the world is going to be on the brink of total annihilation before Christ returns to this earth through nuclear proliferation of every country in the world having the H-bomb, which seems to be happening. And I’m afraid this administration is helping this along by being weak, and that’s something that we’re going to have to keep an eye on. And I believe that this weakness is going to lead to more and more trouble in the world and more and more of the nations of the world arming themselves nuclearly with bombs and rockets and missiles, and the world is heading for a very bad showdown, which the good news, and there is good news here, Jesus Christ and God the Father are not going to allow us to destroy ourselves, because that is what would happen if Christ did not intervene at the last moment, at the last trump, to come back to the world in quite visible fashion.He’s going to look like the sun coming down and take this world and protect us from ourselves. Christ said, if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved alive, meaning every single human being, animal on this earth, fish in the water would die through this nuclear proliferation of bombs going off and weather changes because of that, and he is going to stop it. And that’s the good news, and that’s what we’re trying to tell you on the plain truth.There is good news coming, but there’s a lot of bad events happening before the good news happens. And I’m trying to tell you, if you have yourself aligned with Jesus Christ, you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and that he’s God, and you obey him, you don’t just believe in him. You see this in the book of James, that even the demons believe in Jesus Christ, but they do not obey him, and that’s what makes them demons, and that’s what makes Satan the devil, because Satan knows Jesus better than you and I do, but he doesn’t follow the laws of Jesus Christ, who wrote the law, the Ten Commandments, with his own finger when Moses watched.And that is what the main topic of this week’s news really is, and I wanted to get into that right away before we get into any other subject, and then what the weekend shows on the plain truth today will be. I do want to also point out that there is an old Chinese proverb, that when you are very weak, you appear to be very strong, and that’s what this meeting was about, China and Russia. Russia is very weak right now.They cannot defeat Ukraine. They’ve tried now for three years, they’ve given everything they got, and they can’t win the war, and I believe we’re going to see Europe step up to the plate and defend Ukraine and defend Poland, Hungary, Finland, and these other nations that Vladimir Putin really wants to conquer, and that is his plan, and it’s not going to happen. He’s going to be his own demise.He’s not going to live to be 150 years old. I don’t know if he’s going to live another three years, personally. I think there’s going to be a lot of changes in the world coming very quickly.I’ll be right back after this moment about the Plain Truth Today and ThePlainTruth.com. ThePlainTruth.com is the place to go to, to know what’s going on in the world today, understand the news, but also understand that God is the author and the person or the persons that is creating the news and creating your future, and you need to get right with God, and the best way to do so is not going to ThePlainTruth.com, or The Plain Truth Today, but it’s to go to your Bible and understand, and maybe we can help you understand what is happening and why it’s happening and what your future and the future of this earth is going to be. It’s going to be the way God says it’s going to be. It’s not going to be the way American or foreign leaders think it’s going to be.That’s ThePlainTruth.com. Please visit it every day. Well, we’re back for the last half of the Friday wrap-up, and I want to get into the next subject. It was news of the week, and I think it’s kind of important, and that is the idea that Donald Trump wants to send the United States military as national guard into all of these Democratic cities and Democratic states.Notice he is not sending the National Guard to any of the Democratic cities and Republican states. Notice that. This is all politics.This has nothing to do with fighting crime. If you really want to fight crime, you got to do one of many things, but the first thing you got to do is change the American public’s opinion of themselves and their future and do not continue to destroy the middle class, which is happening under this administration, under the Biden administration, under the Obama administration, and the second Bush administration. The United States’ middle class is at its worst shape that it’s ever been, I think, since the founding of this country, with maybe the exception of the 1890s and early 1900s when the industrialists tried to destroy the middle class then.The middle class is broke. They live paycheck to paycheck, and the majority of Americans are not well off right now, and that is a problem that’s going to only increase if something does not happen. Ronald Reagan had the answers, and Ronald Reagan knew what to do.He took over an economy in as bad of shape, if not worse shape, than Donald Trump has taken over, but he had a whole different policy and a whole different plan to make America great again, which he did, and we have to learn from this example that Ronald Reagan set that we have to look inward to the American people. We have to stop this drug thing. As I’ve said over and over again, Mexico is not the problem with drugs.Neither is China making all these drugs. The problem is hopeless Americans who are addicted to drugs because they have no future in their life, especially small-town America, where my paint plants are located, that people just have no life, they have no good jobs, they have no future, and they end up on drugs, and once you’re on drugs, it’s almost impossible to get off drugs, and that is the real demise of the American way of life that is happening right now. We need to somehow, you know, Nancy Reagan with her Just Say No program did work.We have to somehow have leaders, which we do not have today, in either party, willing to stand up to protect the middle class and the lower class people, to show compassion, and to help people get off drugs, and if people didn’t take drugs, then you wouldn’t have a drug problem. You could have put 500,000 drug dealers around me, and you’re not going to sell one drug to me. It’s what you yourself are going to do with your own life, and until we can change the nature of the middle and the lower class Americans’ future, when they think they have a future, we don’t have a chance of stopping the drug violence, or the drug problem, and saving this country from ourselves.That is rule number one. Sending National Guards into these cities is not going to be the answer, and we’re going on to the next subject now in a minute here. I just want to end this segment by saying we have to, as a nation, return to God and God’s principles that are found basically in the Old Testament, the Old Testament laws, and the New Testament understanding of that law by adding love, compassion, and the Holy Spirit to it.I hope this happens. I do not want to see the end of America in my lifetime if I can help it, and that’s what these broadcasts are trying to do, is crying out to the American public, take control of your destiny. Don’t look to a leader.Don’t look to Donald Trump. Don’t look to some Democrat. Don’t look to some savior other thanJesus Christ, because you will be sorely disappointed.Before I get into the weekend programming and what we will have, I just want to talk about one other incident that may end up being one of the biggest incidents of the week, though very few people are really reporting it, or even when they do report it, are actually investigating the story. We had an incident, I think it was Wednesday night, maybe Thursday, but we had an incident where the United States Navy destroyed a Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean, sank it to the bottom of the sea. The administration claims there were 11 narco-terrorists, and I have to call them narco-terrorists, these drug runners, because if they call them drug runners, then it’s not a Navy job, it’s a Coast Guard job, it’s a police action, it’s not a Navy action.So, they call them narco-terrorists because they’re trying to make drug trafficking into a terrorismthing instead of an addiction thing on the part of the Americans that we just talked about. But they struck this boat, they sunk it right to the bottom of the sea, and they claim 11 died narco-terrorists were killed. But when you look at the video, and we have the video posted, if you want to go to theplaintruth.com‘s message board, towards the top, I think still it’ll be there, the title is U.S. Military Strikes Venezuelan Drug Boat in Caribbean Killing 11.Look at the video. It’s a very small cigarette-type boat, and I have a problem. When I looked at that, why would there be 11 drug runners on that small boat? What do you need 11 for? And 11 would take up the entirety of that boat because it looks like a 30, maybe a 40-footer.And I was under the impression that a drug boat is kind of loaded with drugs and one or two drivers. You don’t need 11 drug runners on a boat. So, it doesn’t seem like they were running drugs, maybe something different, or maybe they were just the Venezuelan Navy, like Frogmen or something, that we just attacked looking for a fight.And maybe we’re just looking for a fight. If you’re my age, you’ll remember the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which was made up by the Johnson administration to get us into the Vietnam War, where Congress gave President Johnson basically a carte blanche to go into Vietnam with our soldiers. Up until then, we only had advisers under Kennedy.We went in there with hundreds and thousands of troops, and eventually 2.5 million Americans fought in Vietnam, with some 59,000 being killed and probably twice that many being wounded. And this all happened because a president, in this case, Lyndon Johnson, was trying to flex the muscle of the executive branch against his perceived enemies, and it ended miserably for America. You know, I don’t think Donald Trump wants to get into a shooting match with China.I don’t think he wants to get in a shooting match with Russia. So, what do we look for? We look to attack a little old Venezuelan boat, maybe, and their Navy, to do a regime change, which I thought we were done with regime changes. If we were going to do one, I guess we should have done onewhen it came to Iran, when he chickened out and stopped Israel from keeping up the pressure in order to have a regime change.And I said, at that time, you let the snake live, and that snake was going to come back to life again. And if you read the reports we’ve been putting on The Plain Truth, you know that Iran is already rebuilding their nuclear threat, and some people in Europe now say they’re within another seven months to a year from having everything they had before. And I predicted that on this program.Well, here we have Venezuela, which will be an easy target for our military. They were going to be as easy to knock over as anything in the world. And then Donald Trump can sit around like a rooster and say how strong and powerful the United States is, that nothing is as powerful as the United States, when, in fact, he’s afraid of any confrontation with China, or Russia, or a real enemy that could do us a lot of harm, because a lot of our military is really not what we think as a public that it is.I think we have been misinformed by what power our military really does have when it comes to combat fighting. We saw that kind of, did we not, in Afghanistan, where we fought to a draw, and we couldn’t win that war. Neither could the Russians, neither could the Romans, neither could the Greeks, neither could anybody win against those tribal people in Afghanistan, and we should learnfrom history.But it seems like our leaders never want to learn from history, and our peoples do not know their history. Part of that has to do with bad performance in schools, but part of it has to do American public, a lot of times, don’t care about learning their history. I’m telling you right now, if you don’t learn your history, you’re going to repeat it.And I think this Venezuelan thing could snowball into incidents that are not going to be good for American security, American liberty, and American democracy. America is not a democracy in part, I always say it’s a republic form of government, but we are a democratic form of government. And I see that democratic part of our government going away with the overuse of military, where it does not belong, and the over use of hubris, where it does not belong.And I’ll just leave it there, and we’ll see in the next week or two if things get ratcheted up with Venezuela or not. Well, as always, tomorrow is the seventh day Sabbath day, the Sabbath of God, the God, the Sabbath, I should say, that you find only in the Bible. You do not find Sunday in the Bible as a day of worship, you only find the Sabbath.And it’s tomorrow, and always we have a 7-11 a.m. Sabbath show. This week is going to be one of my shows. Usually I don’t do my own shows for the Sabbath show, I usually do some video from YouTube that is like Garnered Jed Armstrong or somebody from that ilk that I agree with most of what they do.But it’s going to be me tomorrow with the show, which is entitled Bob Barney, The Plain Truth About Jesus Christ. And we get into, and in that half hour broadcast, we get into all the things that people think they know about Jesus Christ, but they’re 100% wrong, because they’ve listened to mainstream Christianity, which just simply does not teach the real Jesus, just does not. Most people are absolutely shocked.I know I was shocked when you find out that the God of Abraham, the God who spoke to Moses and wrote the Ten Commandments with his own finger, the God who created the heaven and the earth, the God who made Adam and Eve in the image of God, that God was none other than the person we know as Jesus Christ. It was not God the Father. God the Father is basically not even hinted at, or maybe hinted at, but never directly spoken of in the Old Testament.There’s a few lines like, the Lord said to my Lord, which Jesus Christ had a really good time about when he was saying, who was David’s Lord? And why was David’s Lord having another Lord? Showing you the duality of the Godhead, God the Father and Jesus Christ made up of the Holy Spirit. And that is part of the real, plain truth gospel. Tomorrow night, we’re going to have a radio show from 1951.The series was called The Follower. The star of the show was none other than William Conrad. If people remember from the 70s, if you’re old enough, you remember the TV show Cannon.He was that big fat guy to play the detective. Many people do not know that he was a famous radio because he had a phenomenal voice. He had many radio appearances and radio shows, and many of the announcers bringing you into shows on TV during the 50s and 60s was William Conrad’s voice.When you watch The Old Fugitive with David Jansen, the person who is narrating The Fugitive is William Conrad. His big show on radio was he played Matt Dillon in the radio version ofGunsmoke. And by looking at him, you can see why they couldn’t cast him into the TV show,because he was a little too large for that character.So that’s tomorrow night at 7.11 PM, The Follower called Murder, and it’s a murder suspense story. 7.11 PM on the Saturday night show. Don’t have Sunday show yet, but we’ll probably find one during Saturday.I like to be more timely for the Sunday show, 7.11 AM. The only show for Sunday is the 7.11 AM show. And we’ve had a lot of people lately in the last three or four weeks tuning into this Sunday show.I try to find very timely topics, and they’re usually up to an hour long, sometimes a little longer. It’s more like a Sunday show you would see on TV. And I try to get the subjects that no one else is talking about that I think it’s very important for our listeners to know about.That’s the Sunday show at 7.11 AM. And then we’re back Monday with me again, Monday through Friday, 7.11 AM, noon, and 7.11 PM. Until Monday, Bob Barney for the Plain Truth today, brought to you by theplaintruth.com, saying have a safe and great weekend, hopefully a great Sabbath day, and you are going to start following it, make God happy.And we’ll see you back here Monday. Bye-bye.
