13
00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:06.120
We everybody we're talking to you about times of faith times of God

14
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:14.760
intervening and times of the test of what is reality and when I say that what I

15
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:20.560
mean by that is what's going on in life happens it is reality and the second

16
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:27.000
thing is how is it observed is how we determine or we establish having a

17
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:34.160
world view every single one of us have a world view and I'm gonna give you some

18
00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:44.000
examples right now as to why a world view is important and why a world view can

19
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:51.760
be determined to be valid because not all world views are valid though everyone

20
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.200
has a world view just because you have a world view doesn't make it right.

21
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:02.440
For example we're talking about moments in American history when God intervened

22
00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:10.880
and boy this is something that as an old guy I remember I remember this because I

23
00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:17.240
lived it in real time I got to experience this and some of you viewers are gonna

24
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:25.120
remember this. On April 11th 1970 I believe it was was the launch date of Apollo 13

25
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:31.760
and everything seemed perfectly normal. We now Americans the U.S. space program

26
00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:39.160
NASA we had become quite proficient at catapulting these guys in tin cans out into

27
00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:49.040
space and a man in the future in my life who would become my father-in-law was a very

28
00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:57.440
very gifted aeronautical engineer working for NASA and was already very well involved

29
00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:06.000
in the U.S. space program Lisa's dad his his team when and I forget the date you can

30
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:12.840
look it up later when there was a practice run with the three of the Apollo astronauts

31
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:22.960
in Florida when there was an oxygen leak and that the Apollo module blew up in flames

32
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:29.040
and they burned a death inside they couldn't get out the door would not open and so Lisa's

33
00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:37.480
dad's team were commissioned to create from that moment for a failsafe door or or a blowaway

34
00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:43.840
hatch part of the Apollo's space program so that's pretty cool but it doesn't end there

35
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:51.480
on April 15th just four days later on April 15th 1970 I was 12 years old at the time I was

36
00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:57.840
in school and we were called the entire school was called to the multipurpose room do you

37
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:05.160
remember that title multipurpose room the whole school was gathered together and why it was

38
00:04:05.160 --> 00:04:17.640
because of the president of the United States announced that our astronauts were in great

39
00:04:17.640 --> 00:04:27.240
peril that they were they being in space that had a oxygen tank explode of the Apollo 13 command

40
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:35.120
module and in fact you've probably seen if not watch it very well done and very accurate the

41
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:42.800
Apollo 13 movie I think Tom Hanks cranked that one out pretty awesome stuff but the fact is

42
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:51.960
this that Richard Nixon called the nation to prayer and the nation prayed we prayed in public

43
00:04:51.960 --> 00:05:04.560
school we saw on black and white TV screens in the multipurpose room the the whole drama play out

44
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:13.200
and by the way it happened in some respects for for several days because the there was the

45
00:05:13.200 --> 00:05:20.800
initial announcement used in way of a problem and then the drama played out of the engineers which

46
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.600
is very cool by the way those astronauts you know they're all scientists they're up there trying

47
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:33.840
to figure out how do we fix this problem with something that blew outside the craft how do we

48
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:39.920
get back home because we're not going home we're going to die the the temperature inside the

49
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.360
module the guys were working in conditions that were sub freezing temperatures they were now

50
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:53.120
freezing to death and the carbon dioxide is increasing they're having a hard time breathing they're

51
00:05:53.120 --> 00:06:02.400
working at it check this out in Houston and in Los Angeles and I would assume in Florida NASA had

52
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:09.280
engineers working on tables with the exact same parts that the astronauts had in the command module

53
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:17.600
to try to figure out a way how does how to get this fixed and they were I mean I don't mean this

54
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:24.080
literally but you should see this they were basically working with junk they were using stuff

55
00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:28.320
if we plug this thing and maybe we could make this piece of plastic from this thing plug into

56
00:06:28.320 --> 00:06:33.200
this hose we'll have it come back around and maybe it will cause us spark and restart the

57
00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:39.440
battery without blowing ourselves up all this kind of if if if if if stuff now remember not only

58
00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:46.240
is America praying public schools are praying churches are praying but listen the Pope ordered

59
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:54.800
Catholics to pray the chief Rabbi of Jerusalem orders Jews to go to the Whaling Wall in pray the

60
00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:03.360
world is watching and it's reported that the world is praying because America you know what's

61
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.720
called about America at least it used to be true we did everything publicly when the Russians did

62
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.720
something you never knew about it till it was over when Americans we do it from this we we used to

63
00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:20.640
we used to share the experience and the experiment with the world in real time and people love that

64
00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:27.760
um we you know it's just great anyway the whole world went through that drama with us and as the

65
00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:35.600
nation prayed can you imagine all the atheists like having a bowel issues you know like freaking out

66
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.800
stomach problems pray everybody's praying how could they do that how could they do that have you

67
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:46.480
noticed by the way you guys when something bad happens atheists have nothing to offer hello

68
00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:53.120
atheists have zero to give you why because they believe in zero

69
00:07:55.200 --> 00:08:02.240
so when when life gets smacked with reality your world views challenged in an instant where you

70
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:09.680
gonna go so atheists what did they do um I actually know what they do by and large we kind of have

71
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:20.480
this uh qualified and and uh observable fast forward America has known in its history to be a

72
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:29.280
nation of prayer when times get tough and on September 11th 2001 another event that I watched

73
00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:35.200
happen um by the way three months before the towers came down at least and I stood

74
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:41.920
atop the observation deck of one of the world trade center towers got amazing video which is

75
00:08:41.920 --> 00:08:48.080
really freaky because when you're way up there um it was so quiet you look down on New York it's

76
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.080
total silent and what's really weird is that you're on top of this building looking down and you

77
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.160
see helicopters you know they use helicopters in New York like taxis for real and there's helicopters

78
00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:05.440
flying below you can't even hear them it's awesome uh but on September 11th 2001 you know the story

79
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:14.080
right uh Islam Muslims uh attacked and had to be on September 11th by the way side note the reason

80
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:19.600
why Osama bin Laden determined that the world trade centers the Pentagon the United States would be

81
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:25.920
destroyed the president would be beheaded that's right that's right the president was to be be

82
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.200
headed on that day

83
00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:38.320
bin Laden ordered it to be on 9-11 if it didn't happen on 9-11 they would wait one more year

84
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:46.400
for for the 9-11 you want to want to know why because in Islam you have to if you're shamed

85
00:09:46.400 --> 00:09:53.360
in Islam you have to take back the shame you have to fix it and throughout Islamic history

86
00:09:53.760 --> 00:10:00.960
uh that's what they do by the way if you're in the FBI law enforcement joint terrorist task force

87
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:13.200
CIA national secured NSA national security agency um you know that dates are big deals to Islam

88
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:19.440
and knowingly or unknowingly broadcast or not we go on special preparedness special alert in our

89
00:10:19.520 --> 00:10:26.800
military law enforcement on particular dates well 9-11 we were caught sleeping and I get it

90
00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:38.480
but in 1683 I think I might be off a year or two 1683 or 1685 I'm going to go with September 11th 1683

91
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:44.480
uh the Muslims invaded the gates of Vienna

92
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.000
Islam hello wake up call

93
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:54.720
what the heck are Muslim warriors doing invading Europe in Vienna, Austria

94
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.280
it's called jihad it's called global dominance by the way it's still a doctrine of Islam today

95
00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:04.960
they're not done they're not going to be done they've got a plan

96
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:16.160
so on 6 on on September 11th 1683 the Islamic forces attack the gates of Vienna but the king of

97
00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:24.160
Christian Poland had communicated to all the other kings that as the Muslims are continuing to invade

98
00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:30.800
Europe if we don't stop them our children our children will be enslaved our wives will be impregnated

99
00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:35.760
and we will be dead there will be no Christian Europe and so he invited them to meet him

100
00:11:36.400 --> 00:11:43.200
to take on the Muslims and it was September 11th 1683 that Islam was defeated in Europe

101
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.680
that's why Osama bin Laden in his own devotional writings for that day

102
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:58.560
that was discovered in the investigation by the FBI in their apartments in Boston and in Florida

103
00:11:59.520 --> 00:12:07.600
Osama bin Laden's own devotion for those terrorists on why they were doing what they were doing

104
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:14.320
in the name of Muhammad and and in the crusade of jihad and by the way the Israeli

105
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.160
Musad had been warning us and telling us you guys they're coming they're coming they're coming

106
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:24.320
and that's an absolute fact that we weren't listening to because we're America how can we ever be

107
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:30.880
surprised by an invader Pearl Harbor um anyway so um

108
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:39.280
while that invasion takes place or I should say on the day of that attack I remember

109
00:12:39.280 --> 00:12:45.120
we were a young church little we were just uh well I guess you know 2011 we were a pretty good

110
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:51.280
size church but automatically it was a Tuesday I don't have to remember that I just it was a

111
00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:57.600
Tuesday everybody showed up at church people left their jobs or people got off of work

112
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.680
and I went straight to the church office on a Tuesday open up the doors and people began to pack

113
00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:10.720
in and pray guess what happened people began to fill up Yankee Stadium people began to pray in

114
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:15.840
churches all around America people went to prayer people were talking about praying on TV people

115
00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:26.960
were praying there's pictures of people just praying okay and why because our biblical worldview is

116
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:32.960
one that is based upon there's a god in heaven who listens and so when there's a time of crisis

117
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:39.440
we go to prayer as a people atheism has nothing to offer because they have nobody to go do

118
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:48.160
but I find it interesting that when atheism is really really slapped with reality how many

119
00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:55.040
atheists wind up at least acting like believers for at least a moment anyway so Americans go to

120
00:13:55.040 --> 00:14:01.680
pray it's in our DNA and this next and final thing I'll say in in wrapping this up with this

121
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:12.560
example is London had their 9-11 experience on July 7th 2005 it's known as the London bombings

122
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:20.000
and it was their 9-11 event it was terrible who did that Muslims

123
00:14:22.640 --> 00:14:30.880
Islamists jihadis now look I'm not saying that not all Muslims are terrorists

124
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:39.520
okay not all Muslims are jihadists but all jihadists are Muslims

125
00:14:41.520 --> 00:14:48.480
simple fact the collision of two worldviews for sure in a friend of mine from London

126
00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:58.800
we were talking on the phone and he said I am just I'm just sick to my stomach

127
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:12.160
and this phone call now is in it's in it's happening I believe on like by now it's like July 8th or

128
00:15:12.160 --> 00:15:19.360
9th 2005 and he's telling me he said you know what he said I'm so disgusted with my country

129
00:15:20.400 --> 00:15:26.240
he said because we watched you guys when you were attacked go to prayer if people

130
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.400
meant it or not they bowed their heads they filled up churches and synagogues and they went to

131
00:15:30.400 --> 00:15:35.520
prayer people got people got involved by getting on their knees and he said do you know what my

132
00:15:35.520 --> 00:15:44.080
country do you know what do you know what happened when we were bombed the other day he said there

133
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:53.840
were lines of people in every pub in England people were trying to get to the pubs to get drunk

134
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:07.600
and he said you guys pray we get drunk he said were our churches full he said our churches doors

135
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:17.520
weren't even opened and he said when a crisis hits England we go to the pub when a crisis hits

136
00:16:17.520 --> 00:16:23.760
America you guys go to prayer and you know I want to I want to rip this up by challenging you

137
00:16:23.760 --> 00:16:30.720
this way there is something in psychology known as learned response behavior learned response

138
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:38.080
behavior learned response behavior is when you're growing up as a child you're being exposed to a

139
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:45.760
worldview period that worldview may be one of such where you watch mom and dad pray over their

140
00:16:45.760 --> 00:16:53.840
meals for example at breakfast or dinner or you go to church or you go to synagogue or you you

141
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.400
participate in Shabbat every Friday whatever it might be you have a tradition and you have a

142
00:17:02.400 --> 00:17:08.240
worldview and you grow up if you believe it or not it doesn't matter it's still putting it's

143
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:13.040
putting something on you you still know you can grow up in a Christian home and not be a Christian

144
00:17:13.040 --> 00:17:19.040
but you're going to grow up with values guaranteed you may not be a Christian but you have values

145
00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:26.000
whatever they might be same as true in atheism you communicate your worldview and your kids will

146
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:35.200
pick up on that and so what happens is this is that reality tests our worldview and our worldview is

147
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:47.760
exposed in a time of crisis what learned response behavior is now that I'm 14 or 24 and a crisis hits

148
