Old footage from a 1965 Paul Harvey prophecy has just
resurfaced and Joe Rogan cannot believe the predictions.
Paul Harvey. If I were the Prince of
Darkness, I'd want to engulf the whole world in darkness, and I'd
have a third of its real estate and 4/5 of its population.
But I wouldn't be happy until I have seized the ripest apple on
the tree. The So I'd set about, however
necessary to take over the United States.
I'd support the churches first. I'd begin with a campaign of
whispers, with the wisdom of a serpent.
I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve, do as you
please to the young. I would whisper that the Bible
is a myth. I would convince them that man
created God instead of the other way around.
I would confide that what's bad is good and what's good is
square And the old. I would teach to pray after me,
our Father, which art in Washington, and then I'd get
organized. I'd educate authors in how to
make the lurid literature exciting so that anything else
would appear dull and non interest.
If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine
young intellects but neglect to discipline emotions.
Just let those run wild until within a decade I'd have prisons
overflowing too, and I could evict God from the courthouse,
then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress
and in his own churches. I would substitute psychology
for religion and deify science. If I were the devil, I'd make
the symbol of Easter and egg and the symbol of Christmas a
bottle. If I were the devil, I'd take
from those who have and give to those who wanted.
I would caution against extremes and hard work and patriotism and
moral conduct. I would convince the young that
marriage is old fashioned. In other words, if I were the
devil, I'd just keep right on doing what he's doing.
What year was that? 65. 1965.
That's amazing. 65 April 3rd, 1965.
Paul Harvey nailed it. However, that's not the only
time Joe Rogan was speechless after a spiritual conversation.
This one with Katt Williams went viral, and you're about to see
why. Here's the thing, the fact that
there is a God is the biggest conversation worldwide.
But the truth of the matter is there is more reason for you to
believe there is a God then there is for you to, not the
fact that it was already set up on this planet for there to be
medicines for us to. Find and to.
Utilize and you see what I'm saying?
It's like, it's not like, Oh yeah, so he made a cow.
No, to make a cow, it means you had to also have made grass and
it means you would have had to have invented a whole new eating
system for this animal, which was cud.
And that means you would you would then have to have given
him three stomachs to be able to.
And you would have to have known that he was going to then emit a
gas that was going to be necessary.
And on the planet like, yeah, like none of these things
fertilizer are are right. The fact that everything goes
together. And then there's a concept of
actual entities. Yes, well I'm saying your DNA is
either fused or it's not. If it is, it requires a fuser.
That's all. A fuser.
Right. What do you mean by that?
I'm I'm saying if they tell you that certain parts of your DNA
are fused, that requires a fuser.
Did I say that right? I'm not sure I see what you're
saying there. The structure to us and
everything, all of it does seem remarkable.
In a no mistakes type of way. Yeah, and in a synchronistic
sort of a. Way which flies in the face of
the accidental Big Bang. Nothing from nothing way of
thinking and it always has been. Do you see a pattern now?
Joe Rogan seems to be softening to the Christian message.
Why do you think it is that it seems like more big bigger name
folks are becoming Christian to some that some really not, like
Candace Owens and. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Neil Ferguson,
Russell Brand, Joe Rogan Douglas Joe Rogan.
What are you doing with Joe Rogan?
Yeah, well, Joe's Joe's already he's he's got, he's fully the
camp. He's a lot less disparaging of
Christianity that he once. Was which?
Which? We all really appreciate.
Thank you. Joe.
Joe figured it out. Joe figured.
It out. Yeah.
OK, OK. But now, this time, Joe Rogan is
blown away by the age of the Bible.
How old is the Dead Sea Scrolls? Like 4000 years old or
something? Dude I don't know.
I have no. Idea.
See how old the Dead Sea Scrolls are?
I know they found them in Qumran.
They found them in clay tablet or clay pots, 3rd century BCE.
It is almost unbelievable how much Joe Rogan has changed.
For instance, on this episode, Joe starts to convince himself
why God exists. Terence McKenna once said it
best that science asks of you one miracle.
That's The Big Bang. It is one miracle.
It's it really is kind of like a miracle if in the beginning
there was nothing and then God created the earth in the skies.
And it's essentially what the Bible is trying to say.
They're just doing it in a way and.
They interesting, you know, the the the Bible got it right.
They got the order right. I think it takes a long time,
and I think that's where a lot of the confusion that you see in
the Bible comes from. Like the God made the earth and
the sky and everything in like 6 days, right?
And then on the 6th day, he rested.
OK, what are they actually saying though?
This is you get, you're getting things that are translated from
a written an oral history of 1000 years.
And then they're writing it down on Aramaic.
They're writing it down on ancient Hebrew and you're
getting it. Many, many, many, many, many,
many, many, many, many years later.
Now imagine what you would do if you had the real knowledge of
the birth of the solar system, of the development of human
beings and the God energy of the universe and you tried to
translate IT people. And you're trying to relay this
origin story of mankind. And then it gets written down in
parables and it gets written down in Latin and it gets
translated over the years. Like what were they trying to
say? Because so much of what they're
trying to say, if you're really paying attention, like, it seems
like it's kind of laid out, like the origins of the universe.
If in the beginning there was nothing.
Yeah. Like they talking about The Big
Bang. If the scientists all agrees,
how do they know that? There was light.
That'd be The Big Bang. Why wouldn't they assume back
then that God was always around? Why would they assume that God
had to make everything? Why would they assume that there
was a beginning and an end just because they have a beginning
and an end? Is that rational?
Why? Why would they assume that?
Because at one point in time, whether it's 10,000 years ago,
20,000 years ago, they had figured a lot of.
Something out if. Those people were that smart.
Why wouldn't we imagine they had an understanding of the birth of
the universe? Why wouldn't we imagine that
they would have this bizarre understanding of the way
morality and good and evil play out with human beings?
But it makes sense. It makes sense if you buy into
the idea that there's been a restart of civilization and then
you go back and say, OK, what is the history of the Bible like?
How old is it? What's the oldest version?
Like what's the the oldest version?
Of the story, Yeah. Who?
Knows, right? Who knows, right?
What was the original like you're playing a game of
Telegram, right or telephone with over 1000 years with whom,
who knows how many people? But if we've seen what the the
Egyptian people were able to build, what was that like?
How sophisticated were they? And maybe what we're getting at
in the Bible is just the longest game of telephone of a true
story. It's just all kind of gumbled up
in stories and God's testing you.
You must. Resist lessons.
Yeah, in a, in a story that you can understand exactly.
And that's the part of it. There's the truth to it, because
what is a day to? Right.
God, yeah. What's that mean?
Although Joe seems a lot closer than he once was, he still has
many questions. For instance, listen to this
back and forth he has with Adam Curry, a 58 year old atheist who
recently turned to Christianity. God is real, Jesus existed and
has changed my outlook on life. I'm all in on this.
It's all about love. Yeah, you think Jesus role was
What do you? Who do you think he was?
Well, he was literally the Son of God and he was on the earth
to teach. And he, he wandered.
I mean, he was an outlaw. He did some crazy she, you know,
overturned the tax tables and, you know, he really railed.
Against the law, why do you think, based on what information
that you have, why do you think that he existed?
Well to well, the the Jesus had to die after teaching us how to
live a good life and how to be a good person, which is all about
love, and that was to absolve us of our sins, which is kind of a
cool out. And I'm just new to this Joe, so
I can't answer everything, but I love studying it.
I love reading. I'm just it's fascinating
material and it is so much there.
It's. Really fast A person being the
actual son of God. I would need a lot of evidence
to believe that. Evidence demands a verdict would
be a great book to read. So when you look into the Bible
and everything that's been written about the Bible, that's
100 million times more has been written about that and it's
survived all these years. So I'm just.
I'm just someone writes about the Shining, and a bunch of
people review the writing of The Shining and write about the
Shining. It doesn't mean that the Shining
actually happened. You know, just because so many
people are writing about this particular religion doesn't mean
that there was a person. But they haven't written.
About this, I'm not saying that we're I'm not saying I know, but
I'm saying it doesn't mean that that was that man was the son of
God. The problem is if he was really
good at it and really successful in a time when people were not
very sophisticated, he, he could probably pull that off.
And then when he dies, everybody would say he was the son of God
and we don't know. So how would you know that this
guy who lived 2000 plus years ago?
That's why he's actually, That's why I call myself a believer.
Yeah, and how could you prove that someone was actually the
son of God? No.
Or are we all? That's right.
Help me, Jesus. Help me Jesus.
But I can hear exactly what
you're saying right now. You're saying, Joe, that
prophecy at the beginning, it wasn't actually a prophecy.
It was more like a prediction. And I agree with you, but did
you know this? There are 351 precise prophecies
about the Lord Jesus Christ, prophecies that were written
thousands of years before Jesus came to earth, and yet they all
came true. Would you like to hear some of
them? I'm going to tell you eighteen
of these prophecies and I think you will be left equally
speechless like our friend Joe Rogan #1.
The Last Supper was prophesied in Genesis 14, verse 18 and in
Matthew 26 verse 26. It came true.
Prophecy #2 No bone would be broken in the Lord Jesus Christ
when He was put on the cross. This was mentioned in Exodus 12,
verse 46, and in John 19 verses 31 to 36.
It came true #3 the sacrifice, the offering of the Lord Jesus
Christ would be outside of the city, outside of the camp.
This was prophesied in Leviticus 4, verse 12, and it was
fulfilled. In Matthew 27, verse 33, number
four, it was said the Messiah would speak in parables.
This was prophesied in Psalm 78 verses two to four, and it was
fulfilled throughout the entire Gospels, but especially in
Matthew 13 verses 10 to 15 #5 the Messiah, the king, would
come out of David's lineage. This was prophesied in second
Samuel Chapter 7, verse 12, and of course came true in Matthew
one verse one number six. The Christ's resurrection was
predicted many times. We see this in the Old
Testament. One example is in Job 19 verses
23 to 27. And this came to pass in Luke 24
verses six to seven number seven.
Did you know that it was already prophesied that water would pour
out of the side of the Saviour? This was mentioned in Psalm 16
verses 9 to 11. And of course it came true in
John 19 verse 34 #8 It was prophesied in Psalm 22 verse 15
that Jesus would be thirsty on the cross.
And in John 19 verse 28, it was for filled #9 In Psalm 22 verse
16, we read that Jesus Christ would have His hands and His
feet pierced. And in John 19 verses 34 and 37
it came true. Psalm 22 verse 18 says that they
will cast lots for His garments. And in John 19, verse 23 to 24,
we see it fulfilled #11 In Psalm 38, verse 11, we see that His
friends would stand far off. The very disciples that followed
Him would be scattered. And in Luke 23, verse 49, we see
it fulfilled. Prophecy #12 In Psalm 55, verses
12 to 14, we read that the Lord Jesus Christ would be betrayed
by a friend, not an enemy. And in John 13, verse 18, we
read all about Judas, the one who really did betray him.
It came to pass #13 is incredibly precise.
In Psalm 69, verse 21, we read that the Messiah, he would be
thirsty and he would be given vinegar.
And of course, in Matthew 27, verse 34, we see that that came
to pass. He was given vinegar on the
cross #14 In Isaiah 53, verse five, we're going to come back
to this. It says that the Messiah, He
would bear the penalty for mankind's iniquities.
And of course, we know that happened.
It came to pass, and you can read about that more in 2nd
Corinthians 5, verse 21. My favorite verse in the whole
Bible #15A prophecy about the Lord Jesus Christ in Isaiah 53
says that He would be buried in a rich man's grave.
And in Matthew 27, verse 57, we read about a rich man who said,
let him go in my tomb. Who was this man, Joseph of
Arimathea? OK #16 It says in Zechariah 9
verse nine that he would be beheld as a king and he would
ride in into the city, the holy city, on a donkey.
And in John 12 verse 12 to 13, we see that come to pass.
And of course you know the story well #17 He was born in
Bethlehem. That's what it was predicted.
That's what it was prophesied in Micah 5, verse two.
And you know, of course, in Matthew 2 verses one to six, the
Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem.
And then 18, it says the Messiah would be betrayed for 30 pieces
of silver. That was mentioned in Zechariah
11 verses 12 to 13. And of course, it was fulfilled
in Matthew 26 verses 14 to 15. All of these prophecies came
true. All of them fulfilled precisely,
incredibly. And I've got to ask you, what do
you think of these prophecies? If you're an unbeliever
listening right now, what goes through your mind when you hear
these very precise things that were predicted and they came to
pass thousands of years later? But I did say that I I wanted to
return to one of the prophecies. Well, it's actually the verse
after it. Isaiah 53, verse six says all we
like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his
own way and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
That's what the cross was all about.
It was like Jesus Christ swapped places with us.
He was our substitute. Here we stood condemned with all
of our sins. We're like sheep.
We've gone astray. We think we know best.
We've wandered far from the fold.
We've wandered far from the shepherd, and yet Jesus Christ
went after us. That one lost sheep.
Whoever you are listening right now, you were that one lost
sheep. Jesus Christ went to bring you
back. He went to the cross to pay the
price for your sin. He shed His blood on that cross.
Even though all of these prophecies came to pass, all of
them will work together by God. He weaved together this
beautiful salvation plan and God was at work despite the fact
that they pierced His Son's hands and His feet, despite the
fact fact that they mocked him, despite the fact he was betrayed
by one of his closest friends, Judas Ascariot.
All of this was worked together for your salvation, for my
salvation, because someone had to die in our place, and that
person was the Lord Jesus Christ.
You do know that, don't you, that when you see those
paintings of Jesus Christ, when you see the films, when you see
the sufferings, when you hear all of this, it was done for
you. A friend of mine who's also an
evangelist, he might just watch this video.
He's got a phrase and I like it very much.
He says Jesus Christ loves the socks off you.
And it's true. All of this was done because God
has this extravagant love for you.
He careth for you, as the Scripture says, and he wants you
to come to him to have forgiveness of sins and to know
that my Redeemer lives as one of the prophecy says.
He's alive today and he's ready to save you.
But the question needs to be asked, will you come to him?
Can I be very personal with you right now?
Last night I was sat on my sofa. I think you call it a couch if
you're in America. And I was sat there and I was
feeling a little bit sorry for myself.
Thinking on past friendships, thinking on, you know how I've
put so much into this YouTube channel that you're watching
right now and yet it doesn't answer anything.
Thinking on all the things, all the dreams, all the things that
I thought would make me happy, and yet it's all shaky ground.
And then the Lord reminded me of that beautiful hymn on Christ,
the solid rock. I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
And it's true, isn't it? All the ground around us, it's
sinking. None of it's trustworthy.
None of it will last. Friends will let us down.
Even our spouses will let us down.
Dreams will not fulfill what we thought they would.
And all the things, all the trappings of this world, they're
just empty. They're just vanity.
They're just temporary. But there's one thing that is
certain. The Lord Jesus Christ can wash
away our sins, can give us eternal life, and he's preparing
a mansion in the sky for all those who trust in Him.
And one day if you put your trust in Him, you'll see your
Saviour and that'll be certain. And nothing, nothing can take
that away from me and nothing can take that away from you if
you put your trust in Him today. But let me ask you a question.
If you believe what I've just shown you is credible and you
think, wow, this book really did predict these things and they
really did come to pass. Did you know there are some
Bible prophecies that we have not yet seen come to pass?
And if you want to see one that we're expecting to happen very,
very soon, you might just want to check this video out.
And if you would like to be updated on future Bible
prophecies, please do subscribe because we really do like to
cover them here on this channel off the Curb Ministries.
God bless you all and thank you for watching.
