Hidden Agendas Illuminated: Secret Societies Exposed with Billy Crone

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,160
We were able to get actual footage with a guy who snuck in there with his phone and recorded the rituals, John.

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,720
We got it on tape, man. This is not a joke. It's not a game. This is really what's going on.

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,160
So, Pastor Billy, you mentioned we just talked about within the church,

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:19,040
but earlier you mentioned that it's all throughout society. It's permeated through society.

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:26,160
And I know from the videos that I've watched, you were doing a deep dive into Freemasons and

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:32,480
explaining the influence that they have all throughout our society. And honestly,

7
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:36,080
it's something I've been interested in, but I didn't even know where to begin.

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:42,720
So, your sermon was great about that. And I know I'll probably just put links to that, but give us,

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,520
kind of help us understand what are the Freemasons and why are they such an influential

10
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,960
thing, but behind the scenes at the same time? Oh, okay. Yeah, great question. Well, first of all,

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,960
if you've seen anything on YouTube, learn to get off of YouTube, at least with our studies,

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,680
because we have so many that have been deleted, hacked, and banned. If you ever want to get

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,480
everything that we do, all the stuff that you're missing, that they don't want you to see, that's

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,680
our teaching website, GetAliveMedia.com. But basically, the Freemasonry study, I did a 10-part

15
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:18,320
study on that, and I didn't plan on this. It's just the way it worked out. Go figure. That was

16
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:24,160
the capstone of an occult study I've been working on for several years. I did 20 weeks on witchcraft,

17
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,840
16 weeks on Satanism, 30 weeks on what I called voodoo, vampires, and rise of demon worship.

18
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,720
And so basically, it ended up being 66 studies on six books. Go figure. Okay. So then I went from

19
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,720
that occult study into occult societies, with Freemasonry being the first one. And that ended

20
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,880
up being a 10-part study. You can get it book DVDs, or you can just watch it on our website,

21
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:54,960
or download our app. But basically, that one, again, I was surprised. You're right. A lot of

22
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,560
people, even Christians, have heard of Freemasonry, but that's about all that's gone. And almost

23
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,880
everybody has a story where, yeah, my grandfather, my uncle, or my dad, or family member of this,

24
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,520
or used to be in it, or still is in it, or whatever. And they just think it's a good old

25
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,600
boys club. No, it's not. It's in the occult secret society. And this is what we expelled.

26
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,640
And part of it too is it's not just in the world, it's in the church. And I bring up examples,

27
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:30,400
again, of not just experiencing occult behavior in the church, but Freemasonry. In fact, this was my

28
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,760
very first senior pastorate and my very first encounter with Freemasonry. And what it was,

29
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,880
I was four weeks in, and I was just doing a basic polemic study that time on Sunday

30
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,760
on the uniqueness of Christ and the cross, as opposed to other religions on the planet.

31
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,720
Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, even Jehovah's Witnesses, some of the pseudo-Christian cults.

32
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,400
And nothing really deep dive, just showing the uniqueness that Christianity is unique.

33
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,360
All other religions say that you are God, you got to become God, you got to work your way to God.

34
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,160
None of them have a cross. Christianity is unique. I kid you not. So I get done with that sermon.

35
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,400
And the next thing you know, I get a phone call from one of the pillars of the church,

36
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,600
their wives, and said that, quote, he so-and-so was upset with what I preached on. I said,

37
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,840
well, why? What was unbiblical about it? And went on and on and said, well,

38
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,520
I think you just need to meet with him. So I drove out to his house and he was a big guy.

39
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,000
And he looked down on me the whole time. And he's like a six foot six big old dude. And

40
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,160
he said, well, I don't think you should be talking about other religions like that.

41
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,640
I said, well, why not? Well, I just don't think it's right. I shouldn't do that. I said, well,

42
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,840
wait a second. If in fact, Jesus is the only way, I didn't say he did, John 14, 6, he's the way,

43
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,160
the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except by me. That means every other path out

44
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,960
there is a false path. And it's not a small issue. It's not just, oh, they didn't make it to heaven.

45
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,760
No, the Bible's clear. If you don't go through Jesus, you go to hell. So how am I a loving

46
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,200
Christian, Mr. So-and-so, if I don't tell people that all other paths are false, that will lead you

47
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,000
to hell. And if I don't share them good news, that it is through Jesus Christ. And you can know for

48
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,600
sure that you're on your way to heaven through him. And he just went round and round. Of course,

49
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,440
I'm dealing with it biblically, right? And he went round and round. And so he was getting nowhere.

50
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,680
And so I kid you not, John, he looked down at me and he said, and he pointed his finger in my face,

51
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,720
he says, listen, I've seen a lot of you come and a lot of you go. Turns out the guy's a Freemason

52
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,880
in the church. I don't think he was the only one. And a pillar in the church, basically running the

53
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,200
church behind the scenes. And the reason why he rejected that is because this is one of the many,

54
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:47,600
many false unbiblical teachings of Freemasonry that people need to wake up to. They believe in a

55
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:54,720
pluralistic deity. They believe in universalism that all paths will eventually get you. They don't

56
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,120
call it heaven. They call it the grand lodge in the sky. It's a works-based false gospel. No,

57
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,440
no different than trying to earn your way to heaven as a Mormon or Jehovah's Witnesses or all

58
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,440
those other classic ones that we say, oh yeah, yeah, that's obviously works-based false gospel.

59
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,880
Freemasonry is the same way that you have to be a good Mason. You have to follow the teachings of

60
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,680
masonry and do good things. All these guys, you think about Shriners, Shriner hospitals and all

61
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040
that stuff, you think, oh, these are so altruistic. No, they're different. They're

62
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,400
thinking, oh, these are so altruistic. No, they're doing that because they believe they have to do

63
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,920
these good deeds in order to get to the grand lodge above. And then speaking of Shriners, see,

64
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,760
there's many different branches of Freemasonry. Just like, and I use this loosely, just like

65
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,800
there's many different denominations of Christianity, there's many different branches of Freemasonry.

66
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,920
Right? You got your Scottish Rite, and these are just the ones in America. You got your York Rite,

67
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,320
which eventually you can get into the Knights Templar. And then you got your Prince Hall,

68
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,040
that's for the black African community, Freemasonry. You got ladies Freemasonry,

69
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,880
youth Freemasonry, but you also have the Shriners. And the Shriners, the interesting thing about

70
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,960
Shriners is at one point as a Shriner, you have to, and this is in print, it's on video,

71
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:15,760
it's not a conspiracy theory. You have to pledge obedience and allegiance to the God of Islam,

72
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:22,560
Allah, and Muhammad as your prophet. That's why they wear those red hats called a fez.

73
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:30,720
The fez, if you notice, has what on the front? Islamic swords or crescent, exactly, it's Islamic

74
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:39,840
symbols. And the reason why they're red and they're called a fez is because that was symbolic of a

75
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:45,920
victory of the Muslims slaughtering Christians in Fez, Morocco, and they dipped their hats in the

76
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:53,680
Christian's blood. How can you be a Christian and be a part of something like this is beyond me.

77
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,800
But this is what we expose. I'll give you another one. A lot of people say, they'll say,

78
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,640
they try to give people a benefit of that. Well, yeah, I get it. When you get up into the different

79
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,960
degrees, you know, upwards, you want to make it to the 32nd, 33rd degree, up to the very top,

80
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,080
up. That's when they drop the bomb on you that the spirit they're really worshiping is Lucifer.

81
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,200
No, you find out a lot earlier than that. That's misnomer number one.

82
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,280
But people say, well, they just went through the first three degrees and they just thought,

83
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,800
you know, this is a good old boys club. They do good works for the community. And the way they

84
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:29,680
suck people in is they will say, hey, man, you come, you know, and you got to be invited. They'll

85
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,600
tap you on the shoulder, including in the church service and say, hey, would you like to come to

86
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,760
lunch? And so, but then they say, you know, we'll help you with your business. We'll help you with

87
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,360
this or that or whatever. And they do. And so people think, oh, it's just a good boys club.

88
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,120
It's good for business and whatever. But people say, well, they only went through the first three

89
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,160
degrees. They don't know about all this other Luciferian stuff that's going on. That's not true.

90
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,640
That's a huge misnomer. I couldn't wait to expose that one. Because the first three degrees that

91
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:02,800
you have to take, and this is their words, not mine, bloody oaths, right? And let's just deal

92
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,400
with the first degree. We haven't even got to the third one. The third one's what's called a master

93
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,840
Mason, right? But this is the, the, the, uh, entered apprentice. So you just, you're just starting

94
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,640
out. You tell me, John, if you're a Christian, a true born again Christian and drove the Holy Spirit,

95
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,440
that at some point the Holy Spirit is not going to be screaming at you to run. Right? So here it is,

96
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:27,840
you get into the lodge and the first thing they do is they blindfold you. It's, it's called a

97
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,360
hoodwink. As in you get hoodwinked. That's where we get that term from. It's a Freemason term.

98
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,040
So they blindfold you. And part of that is because you have to acknowledge that everything that

99
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,800
you've known in life so far is darkness. And now you're coming into the light, the truth of

100
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,680
Freemasonry. Well, wait a second. How can I profess that as a Christian? I've got the light of Jesus

101
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:54,000
Christ. How can I, how can I walk away from that and say that that's darkness? You would think the

102
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,080
Holy Spirit would cause you to run at that point. Oh, you're just getting started. Then they, you

103
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,680
got to take a shirt off. Okay. That's weird. And then you got to all before you got to bow before

104
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:13,920
an altar. Okay. Before a guy called the worshipful master. Excuse me. I don't bow before anybody.

105
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,160
Then the one and only master, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. So what are you

106
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:24,320
doing bowing before a man? Then here comes your bloody oath. And you are bound before this

107
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:31,120
worshipful master before an altar. They have a typically a sword at your chest and you vow

108
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,760
that you will never reveal the secrets of Freemasonry and what you are about to be taught

109
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,600
and initiated into under the penalty of, and you have to walk it through with them with your thumb,

110
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:48,400
throat to throat, that you can cut my throat from ear to ear, cut out my tongue and disembowel me.

111
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:54,160
And you're supposed to be a Christian. John, that's just a first degree. Oh yeah, we haven't made the

112
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,240
33 or none of that stuff that you learn along the way. In the seventh degree, you learn that they

113
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:05,920
worship a plural God called Jabulon, right? Which includes Baal and the Egyptian God Osiris. Oh,

114
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,800
when you get to the 17th degree, then they say, we've got the secret password to get you into

115
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,560
eternity. I'm not making this up. You know what it is? I'll tell you the secret. The secret password

116
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:24,640
is Abaddon. Wait a second, Abaddon? That's the name that you see of the destroyer that came out

117
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,240
of the Abusas, the pit of hell that's unleashed on the planet in the seven year tribulation.

118
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:38,000
And so that's the name that's going to get me to the grand lodge above. I got to say Abaddon.

119
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,240
And no, and you know what the sad thing is? John, for every person who thinks that when they die,

120
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,320
and then they're going to say the word Abaddon, you know what's going to happen?

121
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:57,280
You're not going to heaven. You will see the destroyer. And John, on and on it goes.

122
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,680
And this is not a conspiracy. And here's what's scary. I expect that from the world. I don't

123
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:08,160
condone it, but that's what the enemy has been doing ever since the birth of Christianity, Acts

124
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,600
chapter two. Jesus Christ is the only way out of this mess. And so what has he been doing?

125
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,920
Ever since then, he's inventing as many different false paths as he can, different religions, new

126
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,520
religions, latest religion, this, right? And just to cloud the issue to hopefully get people off the

127
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:29,440
one and only way out of this mess. Freemasonry is just another one. But I expect that from the

128
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,680
world, they don't know better. They don't know Christ. They don't have the Bible. They're not born

129
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:37,920
again. The Bible says that the mind of the unspiritual man cannot understand the spiritual

130
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:45,440
things. I get that. John, what's alarming to me is this is in the church. And I share in this study

131
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,520
over and over again, Freemasonry is allowed to do the rituals that are completely unbiblical in

132
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:57,680
church services, to do their funerals in services. Much of the church board are Freemasons,

133
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:02,160
including pastors and things of that nature. And I'm going, and John, we're just scraping the

134
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,800
surface of what goes on in this occult secret society. How can you be a Christian and allow this

135
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,480
to happen? And so my thing is this, if you've got these guys in charge of your church, you need to

136
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,120
rise up as a church and I'll just be blunt, you need to fire them. They need to, and I tell people

137
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,720
this all the time, if you're professing to be a Christian, you better repent, run, and get right

138
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,200
with God. And if you refuse to leave, you're in a heap of trouble.

139
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:36,720
Yeah. Pastor Billy, I got to ask you, if people are sworn to secrecy under basically vow of

140
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,400
cutting off their, cutting their throat, cutting off their tongue and disemboweling them,

141
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:46,560
how are you getting this information? Well, part of it is the Freemasons who've been brave enough

142
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:53,040
to come out. They get saved and then they come out and expose it. And that's why we know. In fact,

143
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,240
what's interesting was due to modern technology, because a lot of people say, oh, that's not what

144
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,840
they do when they're, the lodge that I went to, it's Christian because they had a Bible on that

145
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,200
altar. First of all, just because they have a Bible doesn't mean they follow it. Second of all,

146
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,440
oftentimes their Bible, for instance, the Oxford Freemason Bible at the back end has all this

147
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,880
Egyptian symbolism and stuff, because that's what they merge in with their belief system.

148
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,400
That's not our Bible. And then third, they're pluralistic. You can go in there one week and

149
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,440
it might be the Christian Bible, but then other week it might be the Hindu Vedas or it might be

150
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,960
the Quran. Because again, they believe that whatever path you choose, you just got to believe in a

151
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,920
supreme being, right? It doesn't have to be the one of the Bible. So just because they have that,

152
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,800
that doesn't, that doesn't mean anything. But the problem is, is, you know, they go into there

153
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:51,280
and they think that, you know, that's just, you know, not really that big of, you're exaggerating

154
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:58,080
this. This is just, you got this on wackyguy.org or conspiracyguy.com. No, modern technology.

155
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,360
We were able to get actual footage with a guy who snuck in there with his phone

156
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,680
and recorded the rituals, John. We got it on tape, man. This is not a joke. It's not a game. This

157
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:17,360
is really what's going on. And so, so it's basically Freemasons who've come out, most of them,

158
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:23,840
got saved, praise God, but they're revealing to people what is really going on behind closed doors.

159
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,040
And the reason why they get away with it is twofold. Number one, hello, it's a secret society.

160
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,120
By definition, secret. So they're not touting it from the horns. So we only can rely upon those

161
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,440
that can sneak in and get it back to us or those that were a part of it and got saved and come out

162
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,400
and spill the beans. There's a lot of questions I have on that. And I know we can spend a lot of time

163
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,160
debating this, but what influence do they have in society, or not debating it. I don't want to debate

164
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,720
anything like that. I just want to learn more about it, but what influence does this have in society

165
00:14:54,720 --> 00:15:02,480
as a whole? I know Washington DC is filled with the symbology of that. And what do we as Christians

166
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:08,400
do about this? Well, great question. That's how we actually ended our study on the last three studies.

167
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,440
We dealt with, all right, where are these guys at? And how are they getting away with this?

168
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,160
And so I just broke it down into many different categories. You got Freemasonry throughout

169
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:24,800
Hollywood. Probably one of the best advertisements that they've had to recruit people in a long time

170
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,640
was the National Treasure series. Huge. Disney just did a reboot with that with a modern

171
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:36,080
millennial version. But it just encourages people to, oh, this is a cool, eclectic society.

172
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,920
And so Hollywood's in it, music industry is in it. We expose that, especially because we had the

173
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,880
two studies just on the symbolism in Freemasonry, explaining what those symbols mean. And then when

174
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:52,000
you see what symbols are in Freemasonry, you see them everywhere. Hollywood, the music industry,

175
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,520
the whole nine yards. They tell you who they're working for. But I got into the politics,

176
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:08,480
past presidents of our country, indisputable, full on Freemasonry. And again, the danger with this is

177
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:15,440
you're talking about people that were also on our Supreme courts, judges and things of that nature.

178
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:22,480
And Jong, you got to keep in mind that, again, when a person becomes a Freemason, they pledge

179
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:33,520
their allegiance, number one solely to Freemasonry. And that means it comes first. And you pledge

180
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:40,640
yourself to quote, protecting the brotherhood, other Freemasons. And this goes back to their

181
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:49,360
secret hand signals, hand signs, hand in the vest, stand square, the particular stances and things,

182
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,920
secret handshakes on the knuckle and all that stuff. It's not a conspiracy theory. This is how

183
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,680
they identify themselves out in public in secret because this is a secret society.

184
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,600
So I'll give you a case in point. We demonstrated this still goes on. Have you ever wondered,

185
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,920
you got some people that do these dirty deeds, these horrible crimes, and you're going,

186
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,320
that guy's going, he's going up river for a long time. Next thing you know,

187
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,520
he gets off the hook. What's going on there? John, this is how the system works.

188
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:23,040
Freemasonry, their beliefs is supersedes everything, including the constitution,

189
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,560
the bill of rights, and the law of the land. So give you a case in point. If you had a Freemason

190
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:34,800
judge, and then you were a Freemason who has been brought to court, you don't have to say a word.

191
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,600
You give them the sign, you give them the distress signal, the way that you stand,

192
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:46,560
and then he is bound by the bloody ulcer of Freemasonry. He has to do everything in his power

193
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:53,200
to let that brother go. This is the danger of this stuff. So our laws and our country think

194
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:58,640
they're being perverted with these guys. Plus their agenda is not God's agenda. Their agenda

195
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,200
is not what our founding fathers had with the biblical Judeo-Christian ethic and things of that

196
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:10,400
nature. So there's a conflict that's going on. But again, we expose how they've wormed their way in,

197
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,440
even into the military and things of that nature. I already mentioned women's groups,

198
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,800
youth groups, whatever, but they're all over. So the biggest thing is,

199
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:28,720
and you say, well, what do we do? Well, we get the truth out. As Paul says,

200
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,880
referring to the gospel, how beautiful are the feet of those that bring the good news? How can

201
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,560
they know unless somebody tells them? Well, how can people know what they're up against

202
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,280
in order to fight this battle if you don't even know you're in the battle first place?

203
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:46,320
And second of all, who am I battling against? And then third, where are they at? And so it's

204
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,320
the truth, John. We get the truth out. We expose the dirty deeds of darkness,

205
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:55,920
and so that people could wake up and go, oh, I had no clue that I was in the wrong.

206
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,280
People could wake up and go like, oh, I had no clue that that's what Freemasonry is, teaches,

207
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,400
how antithetical it is to everything as a Christian. Whoa, I didn't know that it was not just on the

208
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,200
outside. Whoa, now I can see it's on the inside of the church so you can clean the church up,

209
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,160
number one. Number two, then it's on the outside. Oh, then we need to clean up what's going on in

210
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,960
our country. And that's how you do it. John, there's more of us than there is them,

211
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,720
but they get away with it because people, again, back to the beginning, they don't want to study

212
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,320
the whole of the Bible. Now you say that as a Christian because you're supposed to say that.

213
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,800
That sounds spiritual, right? You don't say, hey, I'm only going to study what I want to hear,

214
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:41,920
right? Which actually is a Bible prophecy sign. Real quick, Paul told Timothy, he says, how do

215
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,000
you know your last days? Hey, don't just look at Matthew 24. Jesus said, you're going to see

216
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,280
false Christ, false prophets, false teachers, wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilence,

217
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,200
increase of all that stuff, earthquakes. And we're seeing that. Paul says, watch this. When

218
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:01,200
you see this in the church in the last days, he said the church is going to gather around themselves

219
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:08,960
a plethora, in the Greek it's a pile, a pile of teachers who will tickle their ears and they'll

220
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,360
turn away from the truth and they'll turn aside to myths. And I'm going like tickle your ears,

221
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:19,120
what's that? So I looked it up in the Greek way back and it's kinetho and it means to desire

222
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:25,040
only that which is pleasant. And muthos is where we get the word myth or like stories made up.

223
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,200
So basically Paul says, yeah, look in the world when you see wars, rumors of war, Jesus saying this,

224
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,960
famines, pestilence, increase, that's a sign you're in the last days. But Paul says, now,

225
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,040
don't just look at the world, look at the church. And when you see in the church, basically all you

226
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:43,920
get is pleasant things and stories made up, you're in the last days. So this is what's going on.

227
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,280
The people don't, they're being duped. They're not being taught the whole council of God. So they

228
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,320
don't even know what to look for. What do you do? You preach the truth, right? And it's the same,

229
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:58,560
this is the light, John, right? And you want to get rid of the darkness? You bring on the light.

230
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:04,960
You teach the truth, which is the light of Christ. And then each individual Christian goes and shares

231
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,080
the light of that truth. That's how you dispel darkness. You go into a dark room. It's a dark

232
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,800
room. Well, oh no, I'm just going to sit there and go like, I can't get rid of this. I'm clueless. I

233
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,680
have no idea what to, what do I do? Go turn the light on. And you don't just turn the light on.

234
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,000
As soon as you turn the light on, what happens to the darkness? It goes away. It goes away.

235
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,680
That's what we need to get back to as Christians, to preach the whole council of God,

236
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,920
get Christians equipped on the light of Jesus Christ, get out there and be the salt and the

237
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:39,680
light. Okay. And then we would see all this darkness flee that fast. That's it. I'm not

238
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:45,680
trying to oversimplify, but John, that's the answer right there. You expose it with the light of the

239
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:51,920
truth of God's word and instantly the darkness flees. Wow. Pastor Billy, would you pray for the

240
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,960
people that have been watching this and they're like, I need to do something based on what pastor

241
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:02,640
Billy has said and just help them, just pray for them to have discernment that's a turn that light

242
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,360
on. Yeah. Finally, we just thank you so much for our time today and we thank you most importantly

243
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:11,520
for Jesus. Thank you for saving us through him, giving us the gift of eternal life through him.

244
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,000
And God, if there's anybody that's tuning in, that's not truly born again, maybe they're going to a

245
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,440
church service, but that doesn't save you. Or maybe they were like me, would never step foot in a

246
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,680
church service, but they're interested and they want to know the truth. And maybe you're tugging

247
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,440
at their heart. God, would you cause them to be obedient and be blessed even right where they're

248
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,400
at God right now that they would cry out to you, Jesus, and ask you to forgive them their sins.

249
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,120
You tell us that you are holy that we are not, but the good news is through Jesus Christ,

250
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:44,240
we can be saved and forgiven completely of all of our sins and made into a new creation in you.

251
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:50,080
God, would you please draw them to you? May that take place even now. And God, for we, your church,

252
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:55,040
those of us that are born again, maybe we've been one of those lackadaisical Christians.

253
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,840
Maybe we were the ones that only wanted our ears tickled, but we're starting to be convicted to

254
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,720
realize, no, we need to know all the truth. And the problem isn't with the darkness encroaching.

255
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:12,800
The problem is with us not declaring your light. So God, raise us up in these last days as a mighty

256
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,000
equipped army in the light of your truth, that we would work together as your people and dispel back

257
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,360
to darkness until you come home and get us. That's how we need to finish. Finish strong,

258
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:29,440
not fearful, finish faithful as the bride of Christ until that glorious day, which could happen

259
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:35,200
very soon when we get to go be with you forever. But God, please do a great work. It's not by

260
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,760
chance that people are watching and listening. And so God, please bear much fruit, which we

261
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,000
know is your will. We ask all this in your powerful name, in Jesus' name. Amen.

262
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:55,360
Amen. Pastor Billy Crone, I know that we're going to have to do more discussions with you about spiritual warfare, about the demonic in society.

263
00:23:55,360 --> 00:24:00,720
And I see a book behind you about aliens even. So there's more that we can talk about.

264
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,600
But I just appreciate you taking this time today to do what we've done so far. So thank you so much

265
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:14,960
for being here on Charisma. Yeah, hey, anytime, John. Thank you for having me.
