Coast A m on iHeart Radio and welcome back to
Coast to Coast. George norriy with you along with l
A Marzuli. We'll take your calls. Next hour. With l A,

(00:42):
we're talking about September twenty three, a date that some
say could be kind of ominous. L A says that
don't worry too much, but we're gonna get into rapture
and other kinds of prophecies. Well here as we chat
with him. So l A, you know, and again you've
talked about how people can't talk about the dates. Tell
me more about that that September. Well, you know, I'm

(01:06):
again we're looking at um the Revelation twelve sign, or
what some people are saying could be the Revelation twelve sign.
But I just and and I get it a lot
of things line up for that on some level. But
you know, to say that it is the day of
the rapture, to me, it's just it's just I'm not

(01:28):
buying it. I'm just not buying it. Um. And again
I go back to the idea that no man knows
the day of the hour. So even though that the
planets are there, and and you know she's closed with
the sun and it's Israel, it's very clear when you
read the Book of Revelation what's going on. It's a
man child and we all know what happens after that.
What's interesting is it's right after that scripture which I

(01:49):
just read. It talks about and this, to me is
is absolutely profound. It talks about there's a war in heaven.
Michael and angels fight, fight with the dragon, and the
dragon ward with his angels, and and it and it
goes on from there and and this, this dragon, Satan,
the devil, whatever you wanna call him, is cast to heaven.

(02:11):
Is that the day that we have full disclosure on
the planet. I mean, I'm just saying, I mean, that's
that's an unprecedented event which has never happened. And see
what what I guess most people don't get. And I've
been saying this a lot um pretty much as I
travel and speak and whatever. We have no idea what
this is and where we are in in this, you know,

(02:32):
on this little blue ball spinning through space. No one,
nobody has any idea of what this really is and
where we really are. And as a frank supernaturalist, I
believe that we may be in some sort of like
holographic type universe, which means when these entities interface with us,
they have the ability to manipulate spacetime, matter and energy.

(02:53):
So when we read stuff like this Warren Heaven, Michael
and his angels fight with the dragon uh and and
they beat the dragon, the dragging his cast down the earth.
And it basically says, whoa, they did have it into
the earth. And then it says something which is really
enigmatic in my opinion, It says that well, to the
inhabits Earth that goes Satan, the dragon. It has been
cast down to you, and he knows his time is short. George.

(03:16):
He can't get back. He's stuck here. He's stuck here,
and that is an unprecedented event that we've never seen
in the history of this planet. He can't get back.
He has he no longer has the ability to trans
um move into different dimensions. Well, I tell us what
you believe the rapture is. Well, and then let's talk

(03:39):
into the and then we'll bring the e t possibilities
into it. The rapture is a very it's first of all,
the supernatural event. It defies anything at the natural a
man could possibly think of. The mechanics of it. Get
into quantum mechanics, Um, it's we are looking at an
event that is absolutely astounding. And yet UM, I don't

(04:01):
think there's that many people that go with it. And
I really mean that. You've got one point eight billion
Christians on the planet, but you know, so called Christians
in name, and I'm not gonna, you know, lay lay
down what I think. Um is the prerequisite. The Bible
tells us that unless the person is born again, it's
spirits filled. They cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. And
that's like a three hour discussion. The cliff notes of

(04:23):
that is basically this thirty seven years ago, I asked
Jesus into my heart. I had no idea what I
was doing when I did that. I just said, look,
I don't know whether you're real or not. Become into
my life. And he came into my life and everything
began to change. And I spent a lot of time
and what I call the UH the Forge of the
Living God, where you're placed, you're heated up, you're placed

(04:44):
on the ambul when you're basically poundered into a new shape.
That process takes years. And that's what he does, and
he does it to two men and women. But that's
what being born again in spirit filled this. There's also
something called the sin code, which every person on this
planet has. And all we have to do is look
at what's going going on in Houston to realize that
the sincode is in full operation, as as price gouging

(05:05):
for a case of water, ten dollars for gasoline, looting,
the whole deal, the criminal element emmilily and and that's
the sincode, you know, and all of it's you know,
um and all of its glory, the sin coode raises
its ugly head. So being born against spirit filled, that's
the prerequisite. So how does that one point? They billion Christians?
How many people are really looking for this? How many

(05:26):
people are born again a spirit filled I don't think
it's you know, I don't think it's a billion. I
don't think it's five million. I think it's a lot less.
So that that begins to cut down the population on
the planet. The bottom line is this that we are
told that the whole I tell you a mystery, we
shall not, not all of us will die, but we
will be changed. The last trumpet dead in Christ will

(05:48):
rise first, and we who are alive will rise and
meet the Lord in the air. And when we read that,
it sounds it's it's I mean, it's beyond science fiction.
I get it. It is certainly one of the wackiest
things you can possibly imagine. But this is the problem.
Most people have a very truncated view of the God
of the universe, and and they go, well, Hell's looking

(06:10):
to help. And interestingly enough, the whole you know, the
whole other side of the aisle, you know, a lot
of the New Agers. Um and channelers have been talking
about this for for decades. I've heard this even before
I was a Christian. For decades I heard that that,
you know, the aliens are going to come and take
people off the planet. I mean, I've heard this over
and over and over again. So it's on both sides

(06:32):
of the aisle. But we're looking at a supernatural event.
And let me just say this. I'll close this little
thing by saying this, that there is precedent of it
we have in the scripture. We and this is wacky stuff.
I get it, but it's supernatural, and I'm a frank supernaturalist.
So this guy Philip is down in this one area
and he runs into this guy Um and the guys

(06:53):
in Ivy open. He's on his charity. He's reading the
Book of Isaiah, but he's not sure what to do.
And the Spirit of Living God says, hey, over and
tell the Ethiopian what he's reading. So Philip goes over
and he and he's and he goes, hey, you know
what are you reading? And he open goes I'm reading Isaiah,
but I don't understand what I'm reading. And he's at
the chapter the fifty third chapter of Isaiah, which talks

(07:13):
about Messiah. In my opinion, and so Philip explains all
of this thing. The Ethiopian goes, this is great, I
want to get baptized, and he accepts Jesus as a savior.
They go down, they get baptized, and this is where
it gets weird. All of a sudden, Philip is translated
from one place to the other in an instant he
finds himself. Right after this event, he's taken by the

(07:36):
spirit and placed in another city. There's one or more.
One more example I want to give. Jesus is in
a boat with his disciples. There's a storm going on.
He's asleep. They wake him up and and he goes, okay, storm,
you know, peace be still. The storm is still. And
then it's just one of these little by words in
the Bible, which absolutely drives me nuts, by the way,
because it says, and instantly they found themselves at their

(07:59):
death the nation. In other words, what happened was he
went through time and space. He time travel. There's no
way around supported from one one at one area to
another area instantaneously. That's what's going on here. And it's like,
what the rapture is the same thing. Somehow we're all
gonna get beamed up. And I'm not talking Star Trek here.

(08:21):
There are some mechanics involved, and I have no idea
of what those mechanics are. I can only speculate, But
I believe it's supernatural. I believe he's going to call
us up, and I believe that that event is future
and I'm not going to date set. I'm three could
happen tomorrow. So people have to realize that heyst most
likely will occur. And when it does, you know, don't

(08:44):
go banging Scotty Clark. He's just looking at this information.
He's throwing it out there. Look at it, digest it,
and do with it what you will. Put it, as
I say, put it on the back burner, and you
know it and see what happens. If Hurricane Harvey had
hit Texas on September three, would you have said, uh huh,

(09:04):
there's something. I would say that now only because we
are in the window of time and you and I
have discussed this before. We are in the window of
time that I called the birth pangs um and and
that there's a punchless wars and rumors of war famines,
pestle worms, earthquakes in the birth places, troublesometimes you look
at the volcanic activity and yellowstone in other places, everything

(09:25):
is on the rise. Same thing with the earthquakes. Everything
is is absolutely through the roof, record droughts, record rainfalls, snowstorm.
I mean, it's just it's something is going on. It's
not normal, and yet most people don't want to talk
about it. So I mean, I don't I think that
that Harvey is just another of of of the many
signs that we've had um indicating that that that we're

(09:48):
ramping up towards a climax. Remember, all these signs are
the birth pangs, and what is that birth? It bursts
the time of Jacob's trouble called the Great Tribulation, a
seven year period. And I really believe that those of
us who are looking for our blessed hope, I either rapture,
will not be here because it's the time of Jacob's trouble,

(10:10):
and it's the wrath of the Almighty that's poured out
upon this this this system which which I call basically
the Antichrist system, which we're already seeing an operation and
many and many quarters around the world. Why do you
think it's dangerous to try to set a timing of
the rapture? Well, because we see what it did with

(10:32):
with Harold Camping, and it does two things. It gets
by the way, I think he's dead now, isn't he?
Yeah he is. He passed away shortly after the prophecy,
the false prophecy didn't come something. Yeah, with all due
respect to Harold, I mean what it does is it
gets gets the young Christian who knows about this but
doesn't really hasn't really studied it. It gets everybody all

(10:53):
excited and they start to go, wow, you know, we're
gonna be out of here and this is gonna be great,
and it's called rapture fever. And in when it doesn't happen,
these people who are waiting expectantly, now what do I do?
And so it's like it's just this, it's this huge
high and then all of a sudden, boom, people crash,
and it's just I think the way to look at

(11:15):
this is this is interesting, put it on the back burner,
go about my business. Um, and you know, I don't
know the day of the hour, and if if if
people that are looking at this, if it's right, then
it doesn't matter. I'm out of here. And if it,
if it, if it doesn't happen on and I wake up,
I haven't lost anything. I haven't lost anything because I'm
always prepared, George. I mean, I live with that expectation

(11:38):
every day. I wonder every day, and I leave my
life in this attention of Okay, I could be raptured tomorrow,
but I have to plan for my retirement, in my
child's education, and I got to pay the mortgage and
you know, on September. So I live in attention, and
I embraced attention. Would you call it a supernatural event?

(11:59):
If and when? Absolutely absolutely a supernatural event unlike anything
else we've ever experienced. Listen to more Coast to Coast
