Introduction: The Prosperity of Evil People [0:00]
The video starts by questioning why many evil individuals, such as those in the pharmaceutical industry and figures like Bill Gates, seem to accumulate great wealth. The speaker references Revelation, noting that merchants of spiritual Babylon deceive nations through "sorceries," which he connects to the modern pharmaceutical industry. He shares his experience of attending a conference with Elon Musk, describing him as foul-mouthed. This leads to the central question: Why are some of the most evil people in the world also among the richest?
Kingdoms of God vs. Satan [3:15]
The speaker contrasts the foundational principles of God's kingdom with those of Satan's. God's kingdom is built on freedom, profits, abundance, and life, while Satan's kingdom operates on wages, lack, slavery, and death. He asserts that yielding to God leads to royalty, freedom, abundance, and eternal life, whereas yielding to Satan results in wages of sin, lack, and destruction. The initial temptation in the Bible was to focus on lack, as Satan tempted Adam and Eve to fixate on the one forbidden tree instead of the abundance they were freely given.
The Power of Words and Deception [6:53]
Satan changed God's words to alter perception, because words are the window through which we see the world. Changing language can lead to the acceptance of things God considers abominations, such as calling adultery an "affair" or sodomy "gay." The speaker emphasizes the importance of calling things what God calls them to avoid being deceived. Eve altered God's words by omitting "every" and "freely," and adding "neither shall you touch it," showing an attempt to use willpower against fleshly desires.
The Temptation to Focus on Lack [11:12]
The Garden of Eden was God's protected place of pleasure and provision, where everything was free. Satan tempted Eve to ignore the abundance and focus on the one thing they lacked, the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The speaker asserts that the first temptation was to focus on lack, and when people focus on what's missing, they miss what's there and listen to the enemy instead of God.
The Devil's Power and the Transfer of Authority [13:33]
The devil tempted Jesus by offering him all the kingdoms of the world, claiming that the power and glory of these kingdoms had been delivered to him and that he could give it to whomever he wished. This power was originally given to Adam and Eve, who handed it over to Satan. Consequently, Satan is more inclined to empower his children, leading them to build kingdoms, while blinding God's people to the fact that building kingdoms is their inheritance.
Satan's Deception and the Mind [18:38]
Satan cannot block blessings unless he mentally blocks people from receiving them, making them believe that lack makes them more like God. The speaker references 2 Corinthians 11:3, warning that the enemy uses the same methodology to deceive people as he did with Eve. This involves making people believe that disobeying God is a good idea and that focusing on lack makes them more like God, perpetuating the lie that poverty is piety and wealth is wickedness.
The Lie of Poverty as Piety [21:06]
The speaker argues that living a life of lack cannot represent a god of abundance. He recounts a conversation where he defended his focus on business and money, stating that he doesn't want to misrepresent Christ in the marketplace. He challenges the notion that trusting God means passively waiting, instead of actively doing what He says. The enemy's lies are subtle, programming people to believe that the less they have, the more they are like God, a satanic lie created by religious people.
Wealth in the Bible [22:38]
The speaker refutes the idea that Jesus was poor, pointing out that the Magi brought gifts worthy of a king, including gold, frankincense, and myrrh. He references the Queen of Sheba's gift to Solomon, worth approximately $270 million in today's dollars. Jesus had a treasurer, implying he had treasure. The speaker denounces the satanic lie that being broke is closer to God, a lie perpetuated by religious leaders.
Children of God vs. Children of Satan [25:24]
The speaker asserts that not every human on earth is a child of God; just as God has children, so does Satan. He interprets Genesis to mean that Eve would have more children because some would be God's seed and others Satan's. Jesus referred to religious leaders as being "of their father the devil." There is no scriptural basis for a child of the devil becoming a child of God, or for tares becoming wheat.
Building Kingdoms vs. Building Altars [27:55]
Cain, of Satan's seed, built a city (kingdom) and his descendants founded real estate, ranching, entertainment, metal work, and weapons industries. While the children of the enemy were building kingdoms, the children of God were building altars. The speaker suggests that while there's nothing wrong with building an altar, the vision for the kingdom has been lost.
The Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven [32:31]
The speaker analyzes Matthew 16, where Jesus speaks to his disciples about building His church upon the rock of truth that He is the Christ. Jesus gives the keys to the kingdom of heaven, stating that what is bound on Earth will be bound in heaven, and what is loosed on Earth will be loosed in heaven. The gates of hell are not in hell but in people's minds, locking in lies and locking out the truth. The keys to the kingdom are the truths of God's word that make people free.
The Truth Shall Make You Free [40:57]
Referencing John 8:31-32, the speaker states that the keys to the kingdom of heaven are the truths of God's word that make people free from bondage. Evil people are rich because they have been applying kingdom principles for millennia. Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom so that people can loose the truth and bind up the lies. Many preachers are afraid to tell people the truth, keeping them in the enemy's kingdom of wages, slavery, lack, and death. God put wealth on the earth for His people, and the speaker has spent the last 47 minutes explaining why so many evil people are rich while so many good people are broke.
