Countdown 2 Eternity

Narrator: Welcome to Countdown to Eternity, a weekly radio and podcast ministry featuring Pastor James Kaddis of Calvary Chapel Signal Hill and Pastor Andy Woods. Together, they examine current events and connect what's going on in our world to Bible prophecy.

James Kaddis: Well, hello, my dear brothers and sisters. I want to welcome you to a very special episode of Countdown to Eternity because we are literally in a very unique position. If you are watching me online, first, you'll notice that I am with the great Andy Woods, which is a huge blessing.

But you'll also notice I am not wearing my pin, nor am I wearing my dog tag, because the last hostage that has been in Gaza has been returned and we have a massive reason to rejoice. It actually means for the first time in 14 years, Israel no longer has a hostage in Gaza. That's an incredible thing because God is faithful and God is good.

We've got a lot to rejoice over. I also want to say this because it's important. I think that that brings in a massive catalyst for what may happen in Iran any day now. Andy, what's the latest and greatest? What say you, brother?

Andy Woods: James, it’s great to be with you. The news you just announced is wonderful. We praise the Lord for that. I'm thinking of Psalm 121:4: "He who keeps Israel does not sleep nor slumber."

James Kaddis: Amen. We're actually seeing it. We are watching what I believe to be a promise that God made being staged to be fulfilled very specifically and very thoroughly. It would appear as though things are changing even more. There are so many news headlines that would seem to point to this.

This is a headline that we didn't even discuss, and I don't even know if it was in your news brief, but I just recorded a video yesterday that's going to get aired on Sunday that speaks about Italy actually demanding that the IRGC be named as an actual terrorist network. Pretty remarkable for them to be categorized as such.

What that does with respect to the EU is pretty remarkable because it in essence forces the insertion of typical geopolitical issues that the EU has avoided when it comes to the Middle East in play, especially as it relates to Islamic countries and Islam in and of itself. I think that is very interesting considering that the pot is definitely calling the kettle black.

It is unique to consider the fact that we are looking at a set of circumstances that again are setting up the whole Club of Rome world, if you know what I mean. The influence that the EU will have or Europe will have coming from the very center, which is going to be Rome, the revived Roman Empire, is becoming a real possibility.

Iran may end up becoming the catalyst for that actually happening, which is wild because that's part of the discussion we're having right now. That is, for lack of a better term, pontificating as in the what might happen with the state of Iran, how it might be attacked, when it might be attacked, and what the President of the United States has got up his sleeve, especially considering the massive fleet that is heading directly to the Persian Gulf.

Andy Woods: It's interesting. You study Ezekiel 38 and 39 and we see Iran is going to be one of the invaders into the land of Israel in the last days. Obviously, in order for that kind of prophecy to be fulfilled, Iran has to become a regional power. Almost every headline we see today relates somehow to Iran. What a shock, right?

The thing you're just talking about there with Rome and the reclassification of the IRGC, the fact that Iran has killed within the last 30 days an astronomical number of people—I'll give it to you in just a second when I get it exactly right—and the fact that our President is basically saying help is on the way.

Every headline we read practically relates to Iran. It shouldn't come as a big shock to us, I suppose, because Ezekiel is very clear that Iran, who we believe is Persia, is going to play a monumental role in the last days. She's got to be risen to regional status, and we're seeing that happen before our very eyes, aren't we?

James Kaddis: Oh, absolutely. It is interesting because where it ends up playing is very unique in that the geopolitical shift that could happen as a result of the head of the snake being decapitated—basically the example that I'm bringing up by making that reference is the removal of Khamenei can really change how everything is perceived overall.

We're not just simply talking about Iran. We are talking about a whole conglomerate of countries that could be dramatically affected. We could have Iraq affected pretty substantially. We could have all of the GCC countries dramatically affected. We could see a massive shift in everything that's going on with the countries that are along the Red Sea.

I'm not just talking about the Arabian Peninsula. I'm talking about North Africa as well as the African Horn and what it could actually do is completely change the way things are even looked at in the Indian Ocean, especially as you approach the Gulf of Aden and into the Red Sea, which brings you through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean.

So much could dramatically change there, and it is absolutely remarkable. By the way, there are catalysts at play that could end up aggravating the situation even more. I can give you an example of this. When you consider a major shift in leadership in Iran that is being forced and a lot at stake and a lot in the air, it provides a unique opportunity for Yemen to consider the possibility of making a change either for the positive or for the negative.

I assume they're going to make a change for the detrimental. It's going to be for the negative, but it's not going to have the same kind of effect that they think they do, especially because of the problem that's being solved with the Somali pirates. What's going on between Somaliland and Israel right now, how that's opening up the door for them to develop a base which is securing the entrance point to the Red Sea.

Then it puts Eritrea at play because of the position that will be held at Port Sudan, which is the central point of the Red Sea that's going to be on the east portion of the African coast. That will make some significant changes. Then if we can get the problem solved between Egypt and Ethiopia with respect to water rights and the dam that we built in Ethiopia, it could make a dramatic change in what happens in Egypt all the way from Aswan to Cairo.

So there's a lot to be said here. In and of itself, the very face of the Middle East could dramatically change as a result of what we're seeing happen right now. I think that may be part of the reason why the President of the United States is taking time to strategically position his assets in this arena.

I do want to make one observation that I think is interesting. With the carrier group going where it's going, it is a very strange and peculiar situation because you would expect to find a mechanism of redundancy put at play here. For example, if we see a carrier group that's in the Persian Gulf, we would expect to see one in the Red Sea or maybe even in the Mediterranean.

It would appear as though we're not doing that because I think that the United States is viewing Israel's assets as their own or treating it as their own, carrying a general assumption that for redundancy purposes, they can utilize what they have there as well as some of the assets that we hold in Qatar.

There are some interesting things that that all carries. Then of course, with Saudi Arabia basically saying back off, you can't launch any attacks from where we are towards Iran, all that is is the general game playing that we would expect them to do because of everything that that has with how Mecca is affected and Medina specifically. There's a lot going on here, but it could literally change the face of the Middle East.

Andy Woods: A chain reaction. I like that terminology. These things are so delicate that one shift here results to multiple shifts down the chain, so to speak. But let me get back to the number I was trying to give you. I didn't want to give it out without being accurate. In the last 30 days, Iran has killed 36,500 people.

One of the things I find real interesting about this, James, is all of these people that were screaming and yelling about genocide in Gaza—the Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, on and on and on. Where are they condemning Iran? How come they're so silent?

James Kaddis: Because they're being paid. That's why.

Andy Woods: I think that's just very fascinating. If they were being intellectually honest and really cared about genocide, they would be condemning Iran rather than condemning Israel constantly simply for rooting Hamas out of Gaza for causing what was the equivalent of our 9/11 on the Israeli population October 7th, 2023. The double standard is astonishing and the silence is deafening.

James Kaddis: Oh yeah. The hypocrisy involved in just that is remarkable. Again, look, Marjorie Taylor Greene and many of these other bad actors are exactly that; they're bad actors. They don't have America's best interest in mind. By the way, let me take it a step further.

Their awareness of geopolitics in the region is akin to that which you see in people like Ocasio-Cortez, for example. They don't know what they're talking about. If you were to ask them to identify half of these countries on a map, they wouldn't even know where to start. They probably wouldn't even know what continent to go to. I'm not joking. That's real.

It's crazy because they're standing on principles that they think are going to serve them more specifically in order to accomplish whatever purpose they think they can accomplish through the manipulation of the power base that they've built. It just literally makes no sense. I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene, you mean to tell me you waited to leave on principle until the very day that your retirement kicks in, that your benefits kick in? Come on. You're defrauding the American people.

Andy Woods: Well, AOC, how can you doubt her credentials? I think she was a bartender or something before they grabbed her and put her in front of a camera. You get the opinion that a lot of these people are what the Marxists used to call useful idiots.

Let's just grab somebody that might do okay in front of a camera and let's jam some talking points in front of them and if they just spit out what they're told to spit out, then they're a good, nice puppet that we can use. I'm reminded of Isaiah 3 and Isaiah 8.

It talks about how in the final phase of discipline that the nation would be under prior to captivity, deportation, invasion, etc., God said, "I'll put women and children over you." That's exactly what we have today in the United States. We have people governing us that act like they're in junior high school.

One guy was setting off a fire alarm there on Capitol Hill and I'm thinking to myself, "Isn't that stuff we all graduated from in junior high school?" It kind of shows you that our own culture is under what I call divine abandonment if these kinds of people are ruling over us. But I'm probably going a little far field from where you wanted to go.

James Kaddis: Actually, I think you're going in the perfect direction of where I wanted to go because again, it's the same principle. Going back to AOC, let me make myself very, very clear. As much as she lacks intellectually and as much as her capacity is diminished with respect to her ability to make a reasonable judgment on anything that she sees related to the field that she claims to be able to represent, she is a sophisticated political operative.

She is. I don't think that anybody necessarily recognizes that. She is a very, very effective operative. She is. But that does not make her brilliant by any stretch of the imagination. It doesn't make her capable of being able to manage the things requisite for the job that she actually holds or the office that she holds.

She was literally brought into that office. She was paid into that office and we all know it. So the reality of it is there are no real principles that she stands on. The only principles that she stands on, her and people like Ilhan Omar and many of these other people, they stand on principles that are fully, fully built on wickedness. Complete wickedness.

Look at what Ilhan Omar is saying in light of all the fraud that's going on in Minnesota. Can it get any worse? Then Tim Walz going out there telling all of these people to completely just infringe upon every single thing that is easily proven to be illegal, like literally just stomp all over it because he doesn't want to go to jail.

He's trying to create chaos. By the way, that is the definition of classic, classic cultural Marxism. We've evaded economic Marxism. That's all gone now. It's far deeper than that.

Andy Woods: I mean, the whole situation there in Minnesota could be resolved by the Governor simply by saying, "Cooperate with ICE and get illegals out of our country." But he doesn't want to use the expression illegal alien. He wants to use the expression undocumented.

Chris Cuomo threatens physical violence against that fellow, Scott Jennings, on CNN because Jennings didn't want to switch the nomenclature around. So he's actually threatening physical violence of someone beating him up. This is how Marxists work. They're masters at language manipulation and then they're experts at thuggery.

This is what happens when these kinds of people in the state of Minnesota, for example, get the upper hand. The whole thing could be resolved if the Governor simply told people to comply with ICE, who's enforcing the law against those that are violating the law and are in the country illegally. But now we've got a couple of people dead, and as far as I'm concerned, the blood is on Tim Walz's hands.

James Kaddis: Yes, and a lot of blood. Not just a little bit. Again, he continues to do what he's doing knowing full well that he's creating deep, deep levels of damage. There are people who would be alive today if it was not for Tim Walz. That's the worst part about it. He's deprived a lot of people of liberty, he's deprived a lot of people of life, and he has certainly deprived a lot of people of justice.

He's an evil man. But again, you have to take it back to what we know is prophetically relevant here. That's the fact that we can see it from what the Bible says. In the last days, we know that perilous times will come and the description of those perilous times is so dramatically viable for the day in which we're living right now.

We see it. It's manifesting in ways we never even thought possible. We're watching the way being made for the economy of the final Antichrist, for the world of the final Antichrist. We see it again and again and again, not only through the expression of technology, whether it be in AI and those dummies like Harari claiming that the Bible is going to be the new AI—I mean or the AI's going to be the new Bible. It's just crazy where things are going, but all of it falls into place with what we know the Scriptures teach.

Andy Woods: One of the things that has to be removed in order to have this New World Order is a free and prosperous and independent United States of America. You're seeing a takedown operation of that showcased in Minnesota where these protesters are not grassroots, they're astroturf. They're bought and paid for by the George Soroses of the world.

They're basically professional protesters and agitators. If you talk to the rank and file in Minnesota, they love ICE being there. ICE is not the bad guy. I noticed the NBA players, in their infinite wisdom, came out and condemned ICE.

But if you talk to the rank and file who actually live there or go to their social media accounts and listen to what they have to say, they're comforted by ICE. They look at ICE as an answer to prayer for all of the scandal and crime that they've put up with all these many years. But the bottom line is America has to be destroyed from the inside out. I think what George Soros and others are doing in Minnesota is sort of something they're going to replicate to the entire country.

James Kaddis: That is a thousand percent correct. I could not agree with you more. It's getting darker and darker and darker and darker. We just continue to see this manifest its ugly face. Although I will tell you that it was a very, very interesting thing to see the President of the United States addressing everybody at the World Economic Forum.

I thought that was hilarious. The only thing that I was missing from watching that was me popping the popcorn and watching everything that he actually said because what he said was hilarious. As a matter of fact, I want you to listen to a portion of it. He's going to brag about what the United States did for Greenland, and then I want you to listen to what he says about all the other European countries and their lack of gratitude towards America. Let me play this for you. By the way, it's absolutely hilarious. I want everybody to see to know that because when you just listen to the way he represents himself, I'm so thankful that the President of the United States is our President, that Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States right now because what you're going to watch is a perfect example as to why I feel that way. Watch this. Again, this is hilarious. This is just funny as funny could get. Watch this.

Donald Trump: Every NATO ally has an obligation to be able to defend their own territory and the fact is no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the United States. We're a great power, much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out two weeks ago in Venezuela.

We saw this in World War II when Denmark fell to Germany after just six hours of fighting and was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland. So the United States was then compelled. We did it. We felt an obligation to do it to send our own forces to hold the Greenland territory. And hold it we did at great cost and expense. They didn't have a chance of getting on it and they tried.

Denmark knows that. We literally set up bases on Greenland for Denmark. We fought for Denmark. We weren't fighting for anyone else. We were fighting just to save it for Denmark. This beautiful piece of ice. It’s hard to call it land. It’s a big piece of ice. But we saved Greenland and successfully prevented our enemies from gaining a foothold in our hemisphere. So we did it for ourselves also. And then after the war, which we won—we won it big—without us right now you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese perhaps.

James Kaddis: He's looking at all the European leaders. He's looking at France, the UK, he's looking at everybody that's right there in that region saying you'd all be speaking German or Japanese. I mean, come on, does it get any better than that?

He's the functional gatekeeper to keep this globalism from spreading where it is. But I have a theory. My theory is he may end up becoming the accelerant for that happening instead of the one who holds the gate back because the effect that it will have on what we presume or understand to be the mechanism of peace will create the condition by which you will see other people stepping in.

It's my prayer that the inconsequentiality of the United States of America is predicated upon the fact that it was vacated by virtue of the Rapture because there was a radical spiritual awakening that took place and there were more people to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. That's my hope. Do I think that's happening? I don't know. Doesn't look like it. Doesn't look like it, but my goodness, look at what's happening right now around the world.

Andy Woods: One of the things that's so helpful is he says our country's been ripped off by you people for years. So now it's time to set the balance right. It's time to go back to normal.

But I think your point about him actually accelerating globalism and one worldism is very interesting because he's done a great job just trashing the UN, distancing ourselves from the UN. So he does that with one hand, but with his other hand he creates this Board of Peace which has the Pope on it and all of these globalists and it may have ambitions and aspirations beyond just Gaza.

It may be something that's going to be bigger than Gaza because he made the statement with this new Board of Peace, "We can do anything." So the thing about Satan's plan for the last days is it doesn't slow down depending on which administration is in control. Satan always is going to have a back door. I think your point about him actually accelerating globalism is something worth considering as well.

James Kaddis: Oh, absolutely. Look, you got to keep this in mind, too, because when we talk about it becoming an accelerant, look, him setting up the Board of Peace serves as a direct repudiation against the United Nations. The United Nations, let's face it, they're the largest terrorist organization in the world.

I mean, you keep in mind the fact that they're going to be completely defanged from what they're doing and the Board of Peace will become the variable by which all of this moves. By the way, because the President is centralizing it in the Middle East, it takes a lot of pressure and a lot of eyes off of Europe.

So whatever needs to assemble in Europe to cause that to happen is going to become a very, very real thing. I think that's going to be aided and abetted by Turkey. I think NATO's going to have a massive part in it because there will be false pretenses that it carries its functional moves with. I think the geopolitics of it all are going to be centered around a whole bunch of false positives, so to speak. It's going to be remarkable to watch what happens.

Andy Woods: You throw into the mix Jared Kushner and the plan that he unveiled there at the World Economic Forum, Davos, the whole I don't know what to call it, shopping center real estate deal, hotels right there in Gaza. I'm thinking to myself that's very interesting because that is going to make Gaza wealthy if everything happens the way they want it to happen.

Now, that fits very well with Ezekiel 38:12-13, when Iran, Turkey, Russia, etc., invade Israel. They're coming after Israel's wealth, her silver and gold and all of those kinds of things. So what Kushner's doing there actually might fit into prophecy that way.

But it certainly fits into this prophecy, Joel 3:2, where God is very angry at the nations because they've divided His land. They're kind of acting like it's some kind of independent country, Gaza, that they can just walk in and build it into whatever they want it to be. God, if I'm reading my Bible right, isn't real happy with that, to put it mildly, in the last days.

That's what triggers His wrath, the Tribulation period in the last days, because they, the nations of the earth, have divided My land. This Board of Peace is A, creating wealth in Israel, which fits Bible prophecy, B, it's dividing the land of Israel, which fits Bible prophecy, and C, it's creating a potential as we're talking about a little earlier, a potential global structure which could even supersede that of the defunct and failed United Nations. That fits into Bible prophecy.

So rather than Trump being looked at just as a restrainer of globalism, he actually may be the very entity that God is using to accelerate the last day scenario.

James Kaddis: And again, I've always believed this. I think we've even talked about this. When this functional acceleration takes place, it's going to take place under the auspice of beauty. It's going to take place under the auspice of making more perfect. It's not going to be like, "I'm coming to get you." It doesn't work that way.

So we're seeing it already. We're watching it. By the way, dare I say this? Tell me if you think I'm wrong on this one. I would dare to even go out and say so much of it is clothed with good intention. But that good intention is predicated upon worldly influence. That's the problem.

Andy Woods: Well, the other thing when you look at the types that the Scripture gives of the coming Antichrist and Antiochus there in Daniel 8 and Daniel 11, there's some image shifting that goes on in those chapters as you know, where it shifts from Antiochus Epiphanes in the past into the future Antichrist.

Those chapters make it clear that the Antichrist is going to deceive many through peace and through prosperity and riches. As I look at the Trump mentality in the Middle East, it's all about money, finances, hotels, shopping centers, deal-making.

This is the art of the deal President. This is how he made his billion or billions or however much he's worth. He's a man of business acumen. So it doesn't really surprise me that the very things that are going to usher in the end time scenario are kind of dressed up as marketing plans and budgets and "here's how much money we're going to make" and "here's how all of the parties are going to be enriched."

James Kaddis: I think the best way to encapsulate all of this is that the President is highly transactional. He is. That's why he can get beat up by somebody, cursed out, all that stuff, and the next day be good friends with them because he views this transactionally.

There's really no other way of putting it. The transactional mechanisms by which he continues to function actually become the very tools that God uses to bring into fruition what He promises He's going to. You can see it. It's very, very obvious.

How in the world can we even see the dynamic we're seeing right now with Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham in Syria and its effective colonization by Turkey, while at the same time keeping Turkey away from Israel and Israel away from Turkey and on top of that being able to juggle the problem that is present in Cyprus and how it all extends further north into the Baltics because of Israel's involvement?

How in the world does all that happen? It happens with that glue. That glue that is President Trump is also creating a mechanism of peace. It's remarkable to see how that's actually working. Guys, we are viewing right now what I would call the functional colonization of Syria. It's actually being done without the presence of the PKK in Turkey and without any of the other barriers that used to exist.

We're looking at the reverse engineering of the Arab Spring. That's what we're seeing. The traditional line of thinking that I would have had even a couple of years ago would be you can't do that without creating all out massive war in the Middle East. Right now it's being done before our very eyes with no war. It's remarkable.

Andy Woods: There's just so many loose ends coming together simultaneously. There's the Middle East end, there's the globalism end, and the other thing of course that's worth mentioning is Harari at the recent Davos gathering talking about how artificial intelligence is going to become the new spirituality.

He basically made the statement that anything in words—this is very interesting to me—anything in words, whether it's the legal system, the medical system, and then he talked about Scripture, is going to be changed by AI because AI has mastery over language.

I thought immediately of John 1:14 where Jesus is called the Word. I'm thinking, wow, if he thinks AI's going to change the Word, he's thinking AI is going to replace Jesus Christ Himself. That's an interesting thing to consider along with everything else.

James Kaddis: And that drives us into that Revelation 13 territory where we talk about life to the image, that the image will do exactly the very thing that we're talking about. This speaks very closely to that. Yuval Harari is remarkable, how demonic the words are that come out of his mouth.

Andy Woods: When you talked about Revelation 13 territory, when you study all that out, there's a verb that's used there over and over and over again; it's called proskuneo, which means worship. That's the same word used of the Magi that came in Matthew 2 to worship the Christ child.

There's that exact same verb used over and over and over again to describe humanity's reaction to not just the two beasts, the Antichrist and the False Prophet, but the being behind those beasts that empowers them, the devil, Revelation 12:9.

When Harari is talking about artificial intelligence replacing religion, replacing the Bible, those are the first things that come to my mind, especially when you factor in that prophecy in Revelation 13:15 about a statue that seems to talk and communicate and it has the power to kill and take the lives of people that are non-beast worshipers, the non-compliant.

The spirit of Antichrist is very much alive in the world, as First John 4 tells us. The Antichrist is not here, but the spirit of the Antichrist is certainly here preparing the way. The man of lawlessness is not here, but the mystery, Second Thessalonians 2:7, is very much alive and well, preparing the way for the man of lawlessness. I don't know how you can read the headlines any other way, especially when you have the light of God's Word on the subject.

James Kaddis: It's right there. That's why when we see the events that are playing out today, none of us should be surprised because the Word of God laid it out for us. It's funny that you would bring up Revelation 13:15. It speaks of an animated object.

It speaks of something that has the ability to actually not just simply share a few words or do a few things; it has the ability to be used to deceive heavily people that would not normally participate in the activity that's actually being described. That's the part to me that's just astounding. But Andy, we're at a time. Time went by that quick. I want to give you the last word.

Andy Woods: When the Lord said when you see all these things coming together, look up for your redemption draweth nigh. I realize that's probably a promise to Israel in the Tribulation period. That's how I interpret that anyway, but there's a principle there.

This is not a time for pessimism. So many people are pess-a-millenialists. They're just so down on everything. This is a time for flaming optimism because Satan's heyday—he's going to get his heyday—it's coming to an end. It's going to be replaced very quickly by the soon coming of Jesus who's coming to establish His own Kingdom upon the earth which will last first a thousand years and then it will merge into the Father's Kingdom and last forever.

I just want our listeners out there to understand where their citizenship is. If they've never trusted in Christ, they're stuck in this failing system that's deteriorating even as we speak. But by simply fulfilling a single condition—placing their personal trust for their eternity, the forgiveness of their sins, and the safekeeping of their soul into the completed transaction and promises of Jesus Christ, what He accomplished for us 2000 years ago through His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension—simply by trusting in what He did. Not just intellectually understanding it, but trusting in it, which is really what the biblical word believe means.

It's not just data in the mind; it's the element of trust. But you just simply put your trust in Christ and your whole citizenship transfers. You're no longer a citizen of this world permanently. We have to live here, but our ultimate citizenship is in this coming Kingdom, a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, Hebrews 12:28 tells us. I just hope many people within the sound of our voice would be putting their personal trust in Jesus Christ and securing their future. It's really that easy, folks. It's just a one step fulfill a single condition: trust in Christ. Once you do that, it's a done deal.

James Kaddis: Man, that's powerful. It actually is cathartic. There is a level of release and comfort that comes in knowing that there's only one work to be done and that work is to put your faith and trust in Christ. If you want to even call it a work.

That's where salvation is obtained. What a remarkable way to live because you're now free of the emotional bondage that is created by you thinking you didn't meet the quota for the day or the goal. God is the one who did the work. It's His finished work that we get credit for.

We wear His robe of righteousness. In these days, that's even more exciting because we're going to go for a ride that's going to be a lot of fun and we have a lot to be excited about. In these days, I think it should be an inspiration for us to live radically, to just go out there and give our very best in everything that we do economically speaking, financially, physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, every aspect of our lives.

So that's good, very, very good final word, bro. Very encouraging. With that said, guys, I do sincerely hope that you enjoyed watching this as much as we've enjoyed making it. May you continue to look to the Lord as we continue together to count down to eternity. We love you guys. God bless you. Keep fighting the good fight.
