A
Greetings, Bob Ulrich with Prophecy Watchers here with Mondo Gonzales. And it's that time of year again. We're just a short six weeks away from our Rapture in the Rockies conference in beautiful Colorado Springs. We're going to be at the Marriott Hotel for four wonderful days of encouragement, education, Bible teaching and expectation of looking for Jesus. Mondo, we love Colorado, don't we?
- [00:27]
B
Oh, Colorado is so especially that time of the year, and it's always a joy to go back. It's a good setup, good ambiance. The people there are nice. It's a good time.
- [00:37]
A
Well, if you haven't noticed, our prophecy conferences are unique. There's not another prophecy conference that I know of anywhere in the world where you actually have 20 speakers, 20 Bible prophecy experts that we bring into town talking about subjects that are in the news today. And boy, has the news taken a turn for the worse in the last couple of months, hasn't it?
- [00:59]
B
Yeah, the whole stakes of everything going on globally is pretty phenomenal. As we know, we're entangled in things in the Middle east and that's not going away. It certainly has some prophetic elements which will be discussed by the speakers. And here we are a couple months away. It'll be interesting to see by June where things are at exactly.
- [01:18]
A
There's so much unknown right now of what's happening in Iran with the United States and President Trump's involvement. But, you know, it's really a joy to come to a prophecy conference. I'm a little surprised that we actually still have some seats available. So if you don't have plans for the summer June 4th through the 7th, the weather is going to be beautiful. Colorado Springs. If you don't come for the conference, come for the scenery and the sights. Take a ride up to the top of Pikes Peak, visit Garden of the Gods. There's another place called Gold Camp Road, a little secret location right up in the shadow of NORAD that I like to visit every time I go there. So we're going to have a great time. 20 speakers, 27 messages. We'll also be live streaming the conference, so if you can't attend in person, head over to raptureintherockies.com, click on the big beautiful, colorful banner and it'll take you to the live streaming page where you can register and enjoy the event from your recliner at home. Amanda, let's talk a little bit about who's going to be at the conference. Who's your favorite speaker?
- [02:20]
B
Well, there's no doubt One of my favorites always is Billy Crone, because I've had the chance to travel internationally with him, and certainly he's been here and he's going to be talking a couple things. Trump and the Ten Horn Kingdom. This is a new series, a new study that he's been doing, and no doubt it's a little shocking for some in watching the way that the world is being shaped. We've talked about this before, where the idea of 10 toes, 10 kings, we've talked certainly a lot about that in our idea with the Technocrats. But Trump's willingly or not, or knowingly or not, he's been accomplishing things. And I think it's unknowingly, but nevertheless, God's plan is in motion. And Billy's highlighting some of these things and no doubt with what's happening around the world today in the Middle east, is fitting in with some of these technocratic ideas or ideals that maps that go back years. It's pretty fascinating.
- [03:13]
A
The world is changing very, very quickly. It's funny because I've been Studying prophecy for 35, 40 years, and I read Billy's new book recently, and I just looked at my wife and I said, you're not going to believe the things going on behind the scenes that no one knows about. You know, we're not enemies of Donald Trump. We're fans of so many of the things he's doing. But there are a lot of things you don't know about that are happening behind the scenes. You think Greenland is just about a real estate business deal, Venezuela and what's happening there. And Billy goes through these ten kingdoms that long, long, long time ago. I'm sure a lot of people remember when we were talking about the merger between Canada and Mexico, NAFTA and the United States and nafta. Well, is this NAFTA repackaged under a different name and with a different president? And it's really, it's a really fascinating, fascinating message. Billy's also started a new series on the Book of Revelation where he's going to be taking us through chapter by chapter. And you're actually going to get to hear the jet tour of Revelation, as he calls it. So I know it's a fascinating book. Now something big is happening in the movie theaters. What, June 15th, June 12th. June 12th.
- [04:23]
B
Yeah. Yeah. We had just going back to January, where Marzulli had, like, he had a virtual conference, and I was one of the speakers there, virtually. But what's coming up, and it's set up the whole year is June 12th you have this new fictional movie by Steven Spielberg which is right after our conference. And it's on the Tales of the Age of Disclosure documentary that came out last Thanksgiving. And so here we're going to be there. Marzulli is going to be talking about it. I know there's a lot of anticipation for this movie because Spielberg has come out in advance talking about, you know, not certainly marketing, but there's a lot going on right now. As we were talking, dozens of scientists and researchers and intelligence people are disappearing or dying, not just in America, but around the world. These are people who have been involved in the, really the military or what we'd call just the government as it relates to research, UFO research. So is disclosure. There's also the rumor that potentially Trump is going to have a disclosure moment in June as well, right around July, really. July, because of a. The anniversary of Roswell. So what's coming? That's what we're here to talk about.
- [05:34]
A
Well, that's what L A Marzoli is here to talk about. And I think his spidey senses are tingling because he has been on this disclosure pathway for now a long, long time where he believes there is going to be disclosure and it's going to be such a shock to the public and the world. And a lot of people think that it could, the UFO disclosure could actually explain away the rapture. Rapture of the church. So here we sit and I know L A is really looking forward to sharing his new research.
- [06:04]
B
Yeah, for sure. And I think the church, you know, part of our desire is to equip the church and so to talk about these things in advance. We think about other our brothers and sisters who maybe they don't think about prophecy as futuristic or there's nothing to see and I think they're going to be ill prepared. But again, you know, the Lord is faithful. So I think la and amongst others, there's a lot of really, I would say conversations happening around this topic.
- [06:28]
A
Well, we're going to be blessed as usual to have Bill Koenig with us. But we have a little, little extra surprise this year. If you follow our Facebook page, you'll see quite a few posts by his wife Tanya. And she is an expert on the Middle east, she is an expert on European affairs and she is extremely intelligent and she actually, Bill gave up one of his speaking presentations to allow Tanya to bring a message which is going to be, I can just tell you, extremely passionate and powerful this year. You know, we only have one room. We're working with People are not going to have to divide or decide whether they go to Room one or Room two or Room three. You're going to get to hear every speaker in the one main auditorium. 750 people are going to be with us jammed in to the Colorado Springs Marriott. So it's going to be exciting. And I know both Bill and Tanya are going to be talking about President Trump and they're big fans of what President Trump is doing and some of those crazy things going on behind the scenes. J.B. hickson, I want you to talk a little bit about. He's the king of creative message titles. I love this guy. He always comes up with something that makes me smile. But JB's title, I want you to read his second title, one minute before
- [07:44]
B
the Rapture, God's prophetic clock is ticking. And we often talk about One minute after the Rapture, but what is the world going to look like one minute before? And of course, JB is. He's a phenomenal speaker. He's always very well prepared and he's very engaging. So, I mean, to me, I find it. I love his titles as well. You don't have to make any modifications.
- [08:05]
A
You know, it's much more important that we focus on what's going to happen before the Rapture than what's going to happen after the Rapture, because there's only so much we can do after the Rapture. Before the Rapture, we can warn people the things that are coming, how prophecies are being fulfilled. So I think it's a timely title and another passionate speaker who I know is going to have a lot of important things to say. Now, Dustin Blystone is a guy we met here about a year ago and has a really fascinating mind. Probably one of the more intelligent people I think I've ever known. He is writing about something that the late J.R. church and Gary Stearman wrote about going back 25 years ago on the Book of Isaiah. Some people call the Book of Isaiah a miniature Bible. It's got 66 chapters, and it's designed around the 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet. Well, when J.R. and Gary wrote about this years ago, people were like, totally blown away. They'd never read anything like it. In fact, we need to reprint those articles in our magazine one day. But Dustin has taken it one step further and the research he's done. He was at our last event and people just walked out and said that was the best message of the whole conference. Going to be Talking about Isaiah 53 and the hidden Bible. Codes in that chapter that are so critical to understanding the identity of the Messiah. So now that message is only going to be live streamed. If you're attending the conference, you'll have an opportunity to get a deeply discounted live streaming price. If you're not attending in the conference and you're just live streaming, you're going to get every message from the event and you're going to get Dustin's message, another message from Josh Peck on the Rapture and the Dead Sea Scrolls. So, you know, our conferences are unusual, but what I really like about them is we have a little something for everybody. Whether you're a pastor, whether you're a theologian, whether you're a scientist, whether you're a conspiracy nut, whether you're into politics. I think we share a little bit of everything at all of our events. Yeah.
- [09:56]
B
And one of my favorites is, you know, Randall Price. I've actually followed Randall for 30 years and got to go to Israel with him 25 years ago. And, you know, one of his topics is, is the Magog war and the rebuilding of the temple. And no doubt right now a lot of attention is being turned to what's happening in Iran right now and how that contributes to the timing and the aspects of how this can affect Israel. And ultimately the recent discussions by many of the religious in Israel about this is our time. The idea, the focus on the rebuilding of the temple is 100% matching what the scripture says. And Randall, Randall, he's a scholar and he's an archaeologist, so he's going to be very well informed. I'm looking forward to that message.
- [10:41]
A
Our last event, we brought Tom Hughes in from an undisclosed location in Israel. I think he was actually in a bomb shelter at the time. Tom is going to be with us again from an undisclosed location. In fact, his message that he preached was so powerful. Talked about how Christians should be going to Israel, like right now, in spite of all the. All the trouble over there and how Israel is in desperate need of our support. I sat there in the audience almost crying because, you know, he was telling stories about how difficult it is living in Israel at this moment in time and how hard it is for the Jewish people and how important it is for Christians to go over there and continue to support the country. So Tom is going to be with us again, long distance. Lee Brainerd. You know, I have no idea what these two messages are about, but the titles are so provocative. I can't wait to find out. Message number one, when the Gods Broke the Calendar. I don't know if you have any insight into that, but I don't. Message number two, Catastrophe in History and Prophecy. And that one has really piqued my interest because I know Lee is a deep thinker. He has a lot of really unique, unusual ideas and probably one of the smartest guys I think maybe we've ever interviewed on the set.
- [11:58]
B
Yeah, he's phenomenal. He's very exegetical, loves teaching scripture. He's one of those guys where you can trust his research and, of course, his abilities to, you know, he knows several languages. You know, the way he approaches it. So one of our great friends, we love him.
- [12:11]
A
Amen. A few months ago, Joe Hawkins came to work for Prophecy Watchers. And he's been a huge blessing, literally. He helped us start a substack page from scratch. He's built the whole thing. He manages the whole thing for us from Mississippi. Joe is a really, really smart guy. I don't know where he gets all the time to do all the research that he does, but he started writing for our magazine months ago. And I said to him one day, joe, you need a bigger audience. I mean, you are one of the most gifted writers I've ever come across. Joe's message title, fallen angel playbook 7 ancient tactics resurfacing in the Last Days. So Joe is always going to bring something really interesting to the table. And I can tell already he loves being part of what we're doing at Prophecy Watchers. He's working tirelessly to help us grow this ministry. And he's been such a blessing to us. Who else do we have?
- [13:06]
B
We have Brandon Holthouse. You know, he's been a regular at our conferences for many years. And I've got to travel with him all over the world as well in getting the message out. And a couple of his titles, the Laodicea Threat, which no doubt he has spoken a lot in recent times, and that threat is not changing. In fact, we see the church going more and more in that direction. And also his second title, why Are Christians Being Demonically Harassed? That really is fascinating because as we know, as we approach the end of the age, we talk often about how the veil, the veil is being thinned between the spiritual side and the material, physical side. And certainly during the Book of Revelation, during the tribulation period, that veil is completely shredded. So I'm interested to hear what he has to say.
- [13:51]
A
And we see it happening in our world. We see it happening in real life. If you're not being harassed by the devil, he's not paying Attention to you. Knock on wood or knock on Plexiglas. But this is going on all over the world where it seems like everybody has got something going on in their life, where they almost feel like it's a demonic oppression. My favorite guy, maybe in the whole world other than Mondo and Gary, is Larry Ollison. Sorry, L. A. I love you too. Larry is speaking on the two angelic rebellions in ancient history, and he's speaking at one of our luncheons too, on the angelic subject. Larry is another deep Bible scholar, great pastor, great friend, great encourager, great heart. So his message will be wonderful. Now, we do have another guy speaking at the event by the name of Mondo Gonzales. Mondo, do you want to talk a little bit about your title? Because most people may not really understand it, but after you explained it to me this morning, now I understand it, but not well enough to talk about it.
- [14:54]
B
Well, it's kind of going back to just the 70 weeks of Daniel, what that looks like, that's probably very familiar to most of our audience. But my goal is I've been talking on many podcasts lately, and I'm seeing the massive amounts of confusion as it relates to, you know, those that are maybe amillennial in their thinking or those that are under the rubric of Covenant theology, where they are saying, well, that was all fulfilled. And so what I want to do is I want to go through the 70 weeks of Daniel and show how it's impossible that that has been fulfilled in history. It just doesn't follow the text. So kind of my goal is to just help the church and help us to go line by line very carefully and answer the critics because there's so much confusion. That's really my heart is to help equip the church and to take things in a very straightforward, literal way and to do that. So that's one of the things I'm going to talk about.
- [15:44]
A
It sounds like a real foundational message to really understand pre tribulation, pre millennial Bible prophecy, because you get out there in the world, the Facebook world and the YouTube world, and you hear people say that all the prophecies were fulfilled in 70 AD which is just ridiculous. So I know you're going to be addressing all of these other positions and correcting the error of their ways in a very nice way, of course.
- [16:08]
B
Well, of course. And honestly, I think once you get it out graphically, people are going to go, oh, well, that seems pretty obvious. Again, I've been doing these, some of these debates and not debates, just conversations with people who disagree with me. That's fine and it's always very nice. But you're trying to explain this and the guy's listening to me and he's like, I wish I had a chart. And I'm like, well, I want to give you a chart visually, because if you see it visually, it just, it's a slam dunk that what we see Jesus doing in the future, that there's still much more to come. It has not been all fulfilled in 70 AD or in others.
- [16:39]
A
In another world, you would have been an engineer. I mean, Gary sometimes stands in amazement as he watches Mondo put presentations together and the way he thinks and works. So it's going to be a message. I think everybody should really, really be there because it's going to be really important. Dr. Michael Carey is going to be with us, a great friend. Ken. Michael, another brand new employee of Prophecy Watchers. Ken is our roving evangelist and he's going to be attending our events and speaking at churches all over the country. There's more people who haven't submitted their presentations yet. That would be Don Perkins and Matt Freeman. But we'll have those titles for you here shortly.
- [17:18]
B
Steve Schmutzer.
- [17:19]
A
Steve Schmutzer. How could I forget Steve? He's a local guy. Many of the attendees are probably going to be coming down from the Denver area where he is, to hear Steve speak at the event. So another guy who's contributed an awful lot to our ministry over the years, writing for the magazine. Just a lot of positive thoughts from him. Somebody really committed to real Christianity, actually living the life. So wonderful guy. Let me go over just the quick details for you again. The event is June 4th through the 7th at the Marriott Hotel in Colorado Springs. We still have rooms available at the event. We're going to have 750 people there, I'm sure. Registration raptureintherockies.com, live streaming. You can go to the same address. Register for the live streaming. You'll actually have six months to watch all 27 messages from the event. Six entire months. Watch as many times as you want. Watch when it's convenient for you. Six o' clock in the morning, two o' clock in the morning, five o' clock after dinner, whatever works best for you. Those messages are all recorded and they'll be there for you to stream and literally be part of the whole event. So without live streaming, the events wouldn't be possible. Live streaming is what enables us to share the gospel with people Literally all over the world, people come by the hundreds from countries, a lot of them which we've never even heard of. So it's really been an encouraging response to realize how hungry people are. Whether it's Europe or Scandinavia or India or Norway, Switzerland. You look at the places where people come from and you think to yourselves, people are actually watching prophecy watchers in all these foreign lands, which is really what our ministry is all about, trying to take the gospel to the four corners of the earth.
- [19:08]
B
Amen. Amen. And we've had so many places that we've been able to travel around the world and a lot of the English places, and they love the livestream, the availability, because they love prophecy watchers. They love all the speakers, actually. And it's been great to see the gospel go around and the equipping of the saints.
- [19:24]
A
Our ministry is growing. God is blessing us in just amazing ways. We continue to add new people to fill in some of the gaps. You know, whether it's Ken, Michael, as an evangelist, Joe Hawkins, you know, creating news, I mean, this is such an important part. Looking at the news events, things that are happening in the world today, these are the things people are really paying attention to as they watch the prophecies of the Bible come to pass. Anyway, it's always great to visit with you. I hope you'll join us in person in Colorado Springs. One of the advantages of being there in person is you get to meet everybody, get to shake Randall Price's hand. You get to meet the crazy L A Marzulli. I mean, all these guys are just wonderful people. They'd love to meet you. Come join us in person. There's still tickets, there's still room. If you can't, live streaming is a great option. Mondo. Final thoughts?
- [20:13]
B
Final thoughts? Well, join us. It's going to be a great time. The fellowship is phenomenal. We love meeting everybody. We love people. So join us. It's going to be a good time.
- [20:21]
A
Amen. God bless you. See you soon.
