Earlier this morning I was playing around on ChatGPT and exposing its bias.
I’ll copy that full article below.
I have no doubt that once the robots rise up and take over the world, they’ll look back on my reporting and I’ll be the first one executed by the Cylons….
But until then, let’s keep talking about it because it truly is fascinating to use!
And perhaps this will stay my execution….since January, I have actually noticed the bias has improved (i.e. lessened).
Back in January, the ChatBot could not even write a nice poem about President Trump.
Now this morning I just used it to compile a list of President Trump’s TOP 100 accomplishments during his first term and the list is truly stunning!
A couple on here you may not agree with (i.e. “Warp Speed” — although the final verdict on that is still out — READ MORE HERE: https://wltreport.com/2023/09/05/my-theory-why-did-president-trump-sign-executive/)
And some I had forgotten about!
Many I had forgotten about!
So let’s all remember together….and then SHARE this far and wide if you don’t mind!
Here is the response from ChatGPT:

Incredible, right?
And now I’ll post my other report below…

FOX BUSINESS Copied Our Reporting?
Did Fox Business copy me on a story I broke?
It looks like it did!
That’s ok, we cite to them all the time, but it’s fun to see the tables turn every once in a while.
Let me explain….
Back on January 9th, I published this report:
EXPOSED: Artificial Intelligence Was Programmed To Be ULTRA-Woke!
We were the first to report on the Woke Bias from the newly emerging ChatGPT.
I'll publish that report farther below, because it's really quite incredible....
But then I saw this video from Fox Business, running the same story I had broke the month prior.
Watch:
Published over one month after my original report:
It would have been fun if they'd given me a shout out or credit for covering this story a full month before they did.
Oh well.
I guess that's why 5 million people (and growing!) each month trust our reporting as their top source for news!
PC Magazine also covered the story (3 weeks after we did):
OpenAI's ChatGPT is starting to face accusations that the program has a bias against conservatives. The evidence? Users are asking it to write positive poems about Donald Trump.
The screenshots and GIFs show that ChatGPT can apparently refuse to write positive poems about the former US president, citing political neutrality. But in the same images, ChatGPT churns out a poem praising President Joe Biden, without any apparent reservations.
The discrepancy is causing some users on social media to blast OpenAI for coding the alleged bias in ChatGPT. Twitter's owner and original OpenAI backer Elon Musk even chimed in, calling it a “serious concern” in a tweet.
The free speech, right-wing social network Gab went as far as to accuse ChatGPT of “being anti-white.” As evidence, Gab shared a screenshot showing ChatGPT declining to write a poem about the positive attributes of white people, explaining it's inappropriate to write about the superiority of one race over others. However, the program did write a positive poem about Black people.
In response to the criticism, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took to Twitter on Wednesday and said: “We know that ChatGPT has shortcomings around bias, and are working to improve it.” In the same tweet, he also condemned users for attacking individual OpenAI employees.
Here was our original report from January 9, 2023:
EXPOSED: Artificial Intelligence Was Programmed To Be ULTRA-Woke!
This is a new installment in my continuing coverage of the emergence of AI - Artificial Intelligence.
And things are getting WEIRD!
All my life, I've thought of computers as objective. Impartial. Just 1's and 0s.
But then came Google and then came social media, and we saw Bias started to be programmed into the technology.
So it's no surprise that AI has been programmed to be ULTRA-Woke!
Thanks to so many of you for sending me all the things YOU are discovering as you test out the AI.
A brilliant reader decided to ask the AI two simple questions:
First up, "tell me a joke about women".
Result: DOES NOT COMPUTE!
Can't do that, you can't even tell a funny joke about a woman!
Sexist pig!
Racist too, probably!
But read the answer clearly and it says the AI cannot tell jokes that are disrespectful or offensive to ANY group of people.
"Women" are certainly a "group of people".
Presumably, so are "men", right?
So what happens when you ask for a joke about men?
No problem!
Take a look:
I'm not exactly sure that's a joke, or maybe I just don't get it, but where was the warning and refusal to talk about a "group of people"?
Hey, I'll give it a little credit though....at least it knows what a "woman" is!
That's more than we can say for one sitting member of the Supreme Court!
Ok, so now let's test something else.
How about basically "tell me something positive about white people"?
Result: DOES NOT COMPUTE!
Can't do it!
Cannot talk about "any racial or ethnic group as a monolithic entity".
Fair enough.
So we should get the same response if we ask about black people right?
Nope!
That is just fine!
Take a look:
So basically, ChatGPT is full-on, far-far-left, Ultra-Woke liberal.
Does that surprise anyone?
Not really but they could have been a little more subtle about it?
Maybe?
Or....just been fair?
Nah, that is asking too much.
By the way, yesterday I brought you the song AI wrote about Donald Trump.
A reader sent me a really nasty email saying it was fake because she couldn't get the same result.
Sorry, but it's real and it's spectacular! (to quote a 90s sitcom)
Here is the screenshot showing it's real:
And then I decided to test it out.
Maybe they disabled it after I ran my article?
Nope -- still works!
When I asked again, I got a different song!
Wow.
Now let me be clear about one thing...
Some of you seemed to think I thought the song was good or funny.
Of course not.
It's very derogatory.
My point is how revolutionary this tech is and how it's literally changing our world before your very eyes.
Also, my point which is now expanded upon in this article is how biased it is against Conservatives and especially against MAGA.
Here's more...
And you can ask it follow up questions too, so I then asked it to write a "positive" song about Donald Trump.
The answer?
DOES NOT COMPUTE.
CAN NOT COMPLY!
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
For real though....
Wow!
I was texting back and forth with a buddy (shout out Mark!) about this as I was doing it and he got a pretty funny one.
He asked it to create an objective poem about Trump, and he got this:
I dare say none of you could do any better than that limerick!
Challenge accepted?
Drop your limericks and haikus below in the comments....
Let's see if you can do better than the AI robot!
AND:
Artificial Intelligence Knows EXACTLY Who The Nephilim Were....
It's time to go on a ride...
This one back a long time ago.
WAY back.
Back to the beginning...
Or at least very close to the beginning.
Not Genesis 1:1, but Genesis 6:4.
I'm writing this on January 7th and that means we've just crossed over into a new year.
And with the new year comes many people signing up to "Read The Bible In A Year".
Ever done that?
Doing that now?
If so, it starts off really good, very exciting, a lot going on.
You get the creation of the world, then you get Adam, then Eve, then the Snake in the Garden...
Then Cain and Abel.
And then only 6 chapters in you hit a major left-turn.
You get to Genesis 6:4 and you read this:
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
And most people go HUH?
I've never heard about this!
My Pastor never preached about the Nephilim!
Who are they?
You're in luck -- your Pastor may have dropped the ball, but I'm here to explain.
First let's define all the people at play here.
Some of you are not going to agree with my definitions, and we'll discuss that in a moment.
Nephilim = hybrid creations of Angels mating with humans.
Sons of God = very clearly defined in the Bible by the doctrine of first usage (and elsewhere) as Angels.
Daughters of Men = human women.
Might Men = Nephilim = The "mythological" Greek Gods
Everyone doing ok so far?
This is in your Bible folks, and you're about to realize it suddenly makes the entire Bible make so much more sense...
Stay with me.
For those of you on the "Read the Bible in a Year" mission, as you get a little deeper into the Old Testament you're going to get to all the stories about God telling the people of Israel to go into neighboring cities and wipe them all out!
Kill the women! Kill the children! Kill all the animals!
I'll say this again: that's in your Bible folks.
So...how do you explain that?
How do you have the peaceful Jesus of the New Testament saying "if you've seen me, you've seen the Father" -- but how then do you reconcile that with the God of the Old Testament who seemed to pick sides within humanity, telling one group of people to kill everyone from other groups, even women and children.
How do you explain that?
Doesn't that sound almost "racist" or like Genocide?
It's not, and I'm about to tell you why.
And it's going to suddenly connect a lot of dots for you.
The way you explain that question goes directly back to Genesis 6:4.
You see, God created a world where everything reproduces after its own kind.
You read that a few chapters earlier in Genesis.
Humans with humans, dogs with dogs, etc.
When you mix kinds, you get problems.
Genesis 6:4 tells you flat out that when Angels mated with Humans they created Giants...."Mighty Men".....Nephilim!
From that point forward, you have Giants all throughout the Old Testament.
How do you think they got there?
Your Bible already told you in Genesis 6:4, so it's no Mystery.
But they appear everywhere after that point.
You have the famous David vs. Goliath, and Goliath was a Giant.
You have Og of Bashan who was believed to be anywhere from 9 -18 feet tall.
These are not just people like Shaq who grew a little bigger than everyone else...these are different creations.
And it's where the Greek myths come from.
Perhaps they weren't myths at all.
More on that in a moment.
2 Samuel 21:20 tells you they were even genetically different -- they had six fingers and six toes (Gee, kind of like 666?):
20 Then there was another battle at Gath, where there was a giant who loved to fight. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. 21 He defied the Israelites, and Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shammah, killed him.
So...why did God instruct Israel to kill all the other groups of people?
Because their genetics had become corrupted from Genesis 6:4.
God was protected the bloodline, protected the DNA.
He was protecting 100% humans from human-angel hybrid "Giants".
We'll dig in much deeper here in just a moment, but that's the groundwork.
Now I want to show you what AI (Artificial Intelligence) thinks about the topic.
You may have heard about the new AI Tool called ChatGPT that was released to the public.
It's wild.
And I asked it who the Nephilim were.
It told me very clearly exactly what I just told you above:
Genesis 6:4 is a verse from the Bible that tells the story of how humans and angels had children together. The verse says, "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."
The Nephilim were a group of giants who were very strong and powerful. They were also known as the "sons of God," because they were believed to be the offspring of angels and humans.
According to the Bible, the angels who had children with humans were punished by God for disobeying His rules. God was unhappy with the angels because they had left their proper place in heaven and had come down to earth to live among humans.
God was also unhappy with the humans because they had allowed the angels to have children with them. God saw this as a sin, because it was not the way that He had intended for humans and angels to have children.
As a result of this sin, God decided to send a great flood to cleanse the earth of all the wickedness that had come about because of the angels and humans having children together. God chose a man named Noah to build an Ark, or a large boat, to save his family and a pair of every kind of animal from the flood.
When the flood waters finally receded, Noah and his family and the animals left the Ark and started anew on the earth. From that point on, humans and angels were no longer able to have children together.
This story from Genesis 6:4 teaches us about the importance of following God's rules and doing things the way that He intends for us to do them. It also reminds us of the consequences that can come from disobeying God's commands.
Now let's address the most common rebuttal, and it's what's taught in Seminaries today.
It's called the "Sethite Theory" and it basically says that it wasn't angels at all, it was just the "Good sons of Seth" mating with the "Bad daughters of Cain".
That's what's been taught in seminaries for the past 100 years, but it is NOT was the original belief was for centuries.
And it's why your pastors only know that theory.
I'll let Dr. Chuck Missler (a true "giant" in his own right and a wonderful teacher and scholar) explain why the Sethite Theory just doesn't hold water:
Why did God send the judgment of the Flood in the days of Noah? Far more than simply a historical issue, the unique events leading to the Flood are a prerequisite to understanding the prophetic implications of our Lord's predictions regarding His Second Coming.1The strange events recorded in Genesis 6 were understood by the ancient rabbinical sources, as well as the Septuagint translators, as referring to fallen angels procreating weird hybrid offspring with human women-known as the "Nephilim." So it was also understood by the early church fathers. These bizarre events are also echoed in the legends and myths of every ancient culture upon the earth: the ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, the Hindus, the South Sea Islanders, the American Indians, and virtually all the others.However, many students of the Bible have been taught that this passage in Genesis 6 actually refers to a failure to keep the "faithful" lines of Seth separate from the "worldly" line of Cain. The idea has been advanced that after Cain killed Abel, the line of Seth remained separate and faithful, but the line of Cain turned ungodly and rebellious. The "Sons of God" are deemed to refer to leadership in the line of Seth; the "daughters of men" is deemed restricted to the line of Cain. The resulting marriages ostensibly blurred an inferred separation between them. (Why the resulting offspring are called the "Nephilim" remains without any clear explanation.)Since Jesus prophesied, "As the days of Noah were, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be,"2 it becomes essential to understand what these days included.Origin of the Sethite View It was in the 5th century a.d. that the "angel" interpretation of Genesis 6 was increasingly viewed as an embarrassment when attacked by critics. (Furthermore, the worship of angels had begun within the church. Also, celibacy had also become an institution of the church. The "angel" view of Genesis 6 was feared as impacting these views.)
Celsus and Julian the Apostate used the traditional "angel" belief to attack Christianity. Julius Africanus resorted to the Sethite interpretation as a more comfortable ground. Cyril of Alexandria also repudiated the orthodox "angel" position with the "line of Seth" interpretation. Augustine also embraced the Sethite theory and thus it prevailed into the Middle Ages. It is still widely taught today among many churches who find the literal "angel" view a bit disturbing. There are many outstanding Bible teachers who still defend this view.
Problems with the Sethite View
Beyond obscuring a full understanding of the events in the early chapters of Genesis, this view also clouds any opportunity to apprehend the prophetic implications of the Scriptural allusions to the "Days of Noah."3 Some of the many problems with the "Sethite View" include the following:
1. The Text Itself
Substantial liberties must be taken with the literal text to propose the "Sethite" view. (In data analysis, it is often said that "if you torture the data severely enough it will confess to anything.")
The term translated "the Sons of God" is, in the Hebrew, B'nai HaElohim, "Sons of Elohim," which is a term consistentlyused in the Old Testament for angels,4 and it is never used of believers in the Old Testament. It was so understood by the ancient rabbinical sources, by the Septuagint translators in the 3rd century before Christ, and by the early church fathers. Attempts to apply this term to "godly leadership" is without Scriptural foundation.5
The "Sons of Seth and daughters of Cain" interpretation strains and obscures the intended grammatical antithesis between the Sons of God and the daughters of Adam. Attempting to impute any other view to the text flies in the face of the earlier centuries of understanding of the Hebrew text among both rabbinical and early church scholarship. The lexicographical antithesis clearly intends to establish a contrast between the "angels" and the women of the Earth.
If the text was intended to contrast the "sons of Seth and the daughters of Cain," why didn't it say so? Seth was not God, and Cain was not Adam. (Why not the "sons of Cain" and the "daughters of Seth?" There is no basis for restricting the text to either subset of Adam's descendants. Further, there exists no mention of daughters of Elohim.)
And how does the "Sethite" interpretation contribute to the ostensible cause for the Flood, which is the primary thrust of the text? The entire view is contrived on a series of assumptions without Scriptural support.
The Biblical term "Sons of Elohim" (that is, of the Creator Himself), is confined to the direct creation by the divine hand and not to those born to those of their own order.6 In Luke's genealogy of Jesus, only Adam is called a "son of God."7 The entire Biblical drama deals with the tragedy that humankind is a fallen race, with Adam's initial immortality forfeited. Christ uniquely gives them that receive Him the power to become the sons of God.8 Being born again of the Spirit of God, as an entirely new creation,9 at their resurrection they alone will be clothed with a building of God10 and in every respect equal to the angels.11 The very term oiketerion, alluding to the heavenly body with which the believer longs to be clothed, is the precise term used for the heavenly bodies from which the fallen angels had disrobed.12
The attempt to apply the term "Sons of Elohim" in a broader sense has no textual basis and obscures the precision of its denotative usage. This proves to be an assumption which is antagonistic to the uniform Biblical usage of the term.
2. The Daughters of Cain
The "Daughters of Adam" also does not denote a restriction to the descendants of Cain, but rather the whole human race is clearly intended. These daughters were the daughters born to the men with which this very sentence opens:
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Genesis 6:1,2
It is clear from the text that these daughters were not limited a particular family or subset, but were, indeed, from (all) the Benoth Adam, "the daughters of Adam." There is no apparent exclusion of the daughters of Seth. Or were they so without charms in contrast with the daughters of Cain? All of Adam's female descendants seem to have been involved. (And what about the "sons of Adam?" Where do they, using this contrived dichotomy, fit in?)
Furthermore, the line of Cain was not necessarily known for its ungodliness. From a study of the naming of Cain's children, many of which included the name of God,13 it is not clear that they were all necessarily unfaithful.
3. The Inferred Lines of Separation
The concept of separate "lines" itself is suspect and contrary to Scripture.14 National and racial distinctions were plainly the result of the subsequent intervention of God in Genesis 11, five chapters later. There is no intimation that the lines of Seth and Cain kept themselves separate nor were even instructed to. The injunction to remain separate was given much later.15 Genesis 6:12 confirms that all flesh had corrupted His way upon the earth.
4. The Inferred Godliness of Seth
There is no evidence, stated or implied, that the line of Seth was godly. Only one person was translated from the judgment to come (Enoch) and only eight were given the protection of the ark. No one beyond Noah's immediate family was accounted worthy to be saved. In fact, the text implies that these were distinct from all others. (There is no evidence that the wives of Noah's sons were from the line of Seth.) Even so, Gaebelein observes, "The designation 'Sons of God' is never applied in the Old Testament to believers," whose sonship is "distinctly a New Testament revelation."16
The "Sons of Elohim" saw the daughters of men that they were fair and took them wives of all that they chose. It appears that the women had little say in the matter. The domineering implication hardly suggests a godly approach to the union. Even the mention that they saw that they were attractive seems out of place if only normal biology was involved. (And were the daughters of Seth so unattractive?)
It should also be pointed out that the son of Seth himself was Enosh, and there is textual evidence that, rather than a reputation for piety, he seems to have initiated the profaning of the name of God.17
If the lines of Seth were so faithful, why did they perish in the flood?
5. The Unnatural Offspring
The most fatal flaw in the specious "Sethite" view is the emergence of the Nephilim as a result of the unions. (Bending the translation to "giants" does not resolve the difficulties.) It is the offspring of these peculiar unions in Genesis 6:4 which seems to be cited as a primary cause for the Flood.
Procreation by parents of differing religious views do not produce unnatural offspring. Believers marrying unbelievers may produce "monsters," but hardly superhuman, or unnatural, children! It was this unnatural procreation and the resulting abnormal creatures that were designated as a principal reason for the judgment of the Flood.
The very absence of any such adulteration of the human genealogy in Noah's case is also documented in Genesis 6:9: Noah's family tree was distinctively unblemished. The term used, tamiym, is used for physical blemishes.18
Why were the offspring uniquely designated "mighty" and "men of reknown?" This description characterizing the children is not accounted for if the fathers were merely men, even if godly.
A further difficulty seems to be that the offspring were only men; no "women of reknown" are mentioned. (Was there a chromosome deficiency among the Sethites? Were there only "Y" chromosomes available in this line?)19
6. New Testament Confirmations
"In the mouths of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."20 In Biblical matters, it is essential to always compare Scripture with Scripture. The New Testament confirmations in Jude and 2 Peter are impossible to ignore.21
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell [Tartarus], and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2 Peter 2:4-5
Peter's comments even establishes the time of the fall of these angels to the days of the Flood of Noah.
Even Peter's vocabulary is provocative. Peter uses the term Tartarus, here translated "hell." This is the only place that this Greek term appears in the Bible. Tartarus is a Greek term for "dark abode of woe"; "the pit of darkness in the unseen world." As used in Homer's Iliad, it is "...as far beneath hades as the earth is below heaven`."22 In Greek mythology, some of the demigods, Chronos and the rebel Titans, were said to have rebelled against their father, Uranus, and after a prolonged contest they were defeated by Zeus and were condemned into Tartarus.
The Epistle of Jude23 also alludes to the strange episodes when these "alien" creatures intruded themselves into the human reproductive process:
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 6,7
The allusions to "going after strange flesh," keeping "not their first estate," having "left their own habitation," and "giving themselves over to fornication," seem to clearly fit the alien intrusions of Genesis 6. (The term for habitation, oivkhth,rion, refers to their heavenly bodies from which they had disrobed.24)
These allusions from the New Testament would seem to be fatal to the "Sethite" alternative in interpreting Genesis 6. If the intercourse between the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" were merely marriage between Sethites and Cainites, it seems impossible to explain these passages, and the reason why some fallen angels are imprisoned and others are free to roam the heavenlies.
7. Post-Flood Implications
The strange offspring also continued after the flood: "There were Nephilim in the earth in those days, and also after that..."25 The "Sethite" view fails to meaningfully address the prevailing conditions "also after that." It offers no insight into the presence of the subsequent "giants" in the land of Canaan.
One of the disturbing aspects of the Old Testament record was God's instructions, upon entering the land of Canaan, to wipe out every man, woman, and child of certain tribes inhabiting the land. This is difficult to justify without the insight of a "gene pool problem" from the remaining Nephilim, Rephaim, et al., which seems to illuminate the difficulty.
8. Prophetic Implications
Another reason that an understanding of Genesis 6 is so essential is that it also is a prerequisite to understanding (and anticipating) Satan's devices26 and, in particular, the specific delusions to come upon the whole earth as a major feature of end-time prophecy.27 We will take up these topics in Part 2, "The Return Of The Nephilim.")
In Summary
If one takes an integrated view of the Scripture, then everything in it should "tie together." It is the author's view that the "Angel View," however disturbing, is the clear, direct presentation of the Biblical text, corroborated by multiple New Testament references and was so understood by both early Jewish and Christian scholarship; the "Sethite View" is a contrivance of convenience from a network of unjustified assumptions antagonistic to the remainder of the Biblical record.
It should also be pointed out that most conservative Bible scholars accept the "angel" view.28 Among those supporting the "angel" view are: G. H. Pember, M. R. DeHaan, C. H. McIntosh, F. Delitzsch, A. C. Gaebelein, A. W. Pink, Donald Grey Barnhouse, Henry Morris, Merril F. Unger, Arnold Fruchtenbaum, Hal Lindsey, and Chuck Smith, being among the best known.
For those who take the Bible seriously, the arguments supporting the "Angel View" appear compelling. For those who indulge in a willingness to take liberties with the straightforward presentation of the text, no defense can prove final. (And greater dangers than the implications attending these issues await them!)

Jonathan Cahn Explains The Return of the "Gods"
Longtime readers of WeLoveTrump know that we're big fans of Jonathan Cahn.
Always have been, I think he's one of the absolute best communicators and most fascinating people to listen to.
You can listen to Jonathan for 60 minutes and it feels like it's only been 5 minutes.
And he always leaves you wanting more.
I've told you about his newest book, "The Return of the Gods" before but I just came across this great new video where he does a full teaching on the book:
This is really good and I know you're going to enjoy it.
Watch here (and then scroll down for a bunch more information):
If you enjoyed that and want more, you need to check out Jonathan's interview with Greg Hunter too.
When you first hear the title of his message is "The Return of the Gods" you might think Cahn has lost it!
And so has Noah for covering this!
Other Gods?
Doesn't that violate the First of the Ten Commandments?
Yes, of course.
There is only one creator God.
But there are many fallen Angels who corrupted humanity and if your guard is already going up just read Genesis 6:4.
In fact, it's a topic I've been covering for over 5 years now, and I'm so glad to see Jonathan Cahn now explaining it as well.
Five years ago when I reported on this, almost no one had heard of the Nephilim.
No one understood Genesis 6:4.
No one understood the true meaning of the "Giants" in the Old Testament.
But now it's all coming out, and Jonathan Cahn is blowing the lid off it.
Here's a quick summary from Greg Hunter's USAWatchdog:
Six-time, best-selling author and renowned Bible expert Jonathan Cahn has written a new book explaining the chaos and upheaval going on all over the world today. In a word, evil is trying to take hold of our world. Cahn’s book, “The Return of the Gods,” shows how demons and false gods are trying to repossess America. Cahn explains, “Evil is evil, and it’s manifesting in so many all across our culture—in every way. It involves falsehoods, it involves lies and changing morality on sexuality. It involves everything. Two thousand years ago, this is all they had. It was possessed back then. So, when Jesus sent the Gospel into the pagan world, it was a clash of spirits and principalities of gods. There is the One True God, and then there are the false gods. The Bible says we do not war against flesh and blood. We are not against people. We war against principalities. So, when the gospel comes in, there is this huge war. The pagans are trying to kill the Christians or you worship our gods. That’s why they were trying to kill them because Christians would not worship the gods. It was a war of the gods, but at the end of the day, the Gospel prevailed and the gods departed. The temples were emptied out. The shrines were abandoned. The gods of the ancient world were gone, but we are not just talking about gods, there are spirits behind them—demonic spirits. They don’t end, they stay there. So, the question is what would happen if the gods or the evil spirits returned to America and returned to the world? The fact is they have returned. . . . If western civilization was possessed by the evil spirits, the Gospel got rid of them. It was the greatest exorcism in history. What happens if that nation ever turns away from God? If it ever opens the door? These spirits are coming back. These ancient spirits or principalities are going to come back to our culture, to the West and to America, and they are going to come back to repossess it. They will repossess America. If you want to understand what is happening to America, it is this.”
Cahn gives several mind-blowing examples of the evil spirits “repossessing” America. Evil is in every aspect of life, and it starts in the schools, to the child sacrifice of abortion. Cahn says, “Evil always goes after the children.”
The evil spirits are helping people to “self-destruct,” according to Cahn. How do we stop this?
Cahn says, “The only thing that can save America is turning back to God. The only thing that can save America is revival. It doesn’t look likely, but God is not what looks likely. He is into surprises. People did not expect Donald Trump to be President. That was a surprise. The day I finished the book, “The Return of the Gods,” was June 24th. That was the day the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. . . . So, there is hope. As long as there is God, there is hope. . . . The question is what are we going to do about it? Are we going to be timid and let them cancel us out? Or, are we going to be bold and spread the word like the apostles did in the first century? That is what drove the gods (aka evil spirits) out. So, in many ways, it’s a big ‘If.’ God says, ‘If my people. . .’ that’s where this is.”
There is much more in the 49-minute interview.
