Brown Ale Basics, Champlain Valley Wines, and Morning Coffee with Kyle Mozden

Gary Monterosso makes the case for brown ale as a gentle entry point to darker beer and looks at when to drink coffee. Robin Shreeves talks with Kyle Mozden, director of winemaking at Rolling Hills Estate Winery, about cold-hardy grapes and building a new wine region in New York's Champlain Valley.

A Brown Ale Gateway to Dark Beer
Gary Monterosso opens the program with a case for brown ale, aimed at listeners who like the comfort of dark beer but are not ready for a porter or stout. He describes the flavors he has in mind: toasted bread, caramel, toffee, cocoa, and a gentle nuttiness, usually without the intense roast or coffee bitterness people expect from stout. The secret, he says, lies in the malt, which is toasted or kilned rather than heavily roasted, giving a deep amber-to-brown beer that often drinks smoothly with moderate alcohol. Monterosso points to English examples such as Newcastle Brown Ale and Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale, then to American versions like Bell's Best Brown Ale and Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale, which he says usually bring richer chocolate and a firmer finish. He suggests pairing brown ale with roasted chicken, barbecue, burgers, or sharp cheddar, and calls it the middle ground between amber ale and porter.

Cold-Hardy Grapes in the Champlain Valley
Robin Shreeves takes over from Gary Monterosso for a visit to Rolling Hills Estate Winery in New York's Champlain Valley, where she sits down with Kyle Mozden, the winery's director of winemaking. She asks what grapes he works with, and he lists Marquette, Frontenac, Petite Pearl, Frontenac gris, and La Crescent, plus Sabrevois, a variety Shreeves says she has seen in rosé but had never heard of before her visit. Mozden explains why the winery avoids the vinifera grapes familiar to Cabernet Sauvignon fans, saying they would not survive the region's winters, which can dip to twelve or thirteen degrees below zero and would likely kill vinifera vines in a single season. The crosses of American varieties, he says, were largely developed at the University of Minnesota, with one coming from Wisconsin, and they carry the cold hardiness needed for a northern climate. Mozden adds that the hardiness of these grapes is more indicative of the region in general.

From Napa Cabernet to a New Region
Shreeves asks what drew Kyle Mozden to leave Napa after more than twenty years, and Mozden, a self-described California kid, admits the region is very cold. He says the winery's vision is about growing the region rather than simply being a winery, and points to the Champlain Valley of New York, an appellation he calls very young, established in 2016. Mozden describes wanting to help build an identity for the area and to support its agricultural community, which he calls salt-of-the-earth people who work hard. After years of making big, fruity, high-alcohol Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, he says he felt he was making the same wine over and over, trying to make it bigger and bolder. Here, he says, the varietals carry no established style, so he is not copying anyone and gets to relearn how to grow grapes and make wine. Shreeves calls it the Wild East, and Mozden agrees.

Building a Region and a Winery Visit
Mozden says what excites him most is that the Champlain Valley has few wineries and no settled winemaking style, so the story has not yet been written. He compares the moment to Napa in the 1940s, when families were the pioneers defining a region, and says he gets to bring visitors along on the discovery. Asked what people find when they visit Rolling Hills, Mozden describes arriving in February to two feet of fresh snow, and the quiet of an undeveloped landscape which he says is shielded by the Adirondack Preserve, described as more than a million acres of forest. He was surprised to find a high-end winemaking facility with a bottling line, tanks, and barrels inside a building that looks like a small barn. Visitors who join the membership club can book a tour and tasting, and Mozden says he personally greets them and leads the tasting, a chance Robin Shreeves points out would cost a lot in Napa. Shreeves thanks Mozden and promotes her own Drink Local Substack newsletter.

Morning Coffee and the Timing Question
Gary Monterosso closes the program with coffee and asks when people drink it, from the morning commute to the first cup in bed. He cites a recent study of more than 40,000 adults that compared people who drank coffee mainly in the morning, those who drank it throughout the day, and non-coffee drinkers. Those who drank coffee between about 4:00 AM and noon were 31 percent less likely to die from cardiovascular disease and 16 percent less likely to die from any cause than non-drinkers. Monterosso stresses that coffee is not a miracle drink and that the researchers call for more studies. He explains possible reasons, including less interference with sleep than late-day caffeine and the stress hormone cortisol, which typically peaks soon after waking. For people who exercise in the morning, he suggests finishing a cup about 45 minutes to an hour before a workout, though he adds that caffeine metabolism varies from person to person.

Closing the Program
Monterosso closes the episode by pointing listeners to the show's social media channels, naming Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, and to the website at beveragechronicles.com. He reminds the audience to follow along and thanks them for joining. He signs off with his usual send-off, telling listeners to take care and promising to see them next time. The program then ends with the outro theme music. Earlier, the announcer had described the show as a place where beer, wine, spirits, and everything in between get the spotlight, and the episode delivered that range in one short broadcast. Listeners heard a guide to brown ale, a visit to a New York winery, and a look at when to drink coffee. Monterosso's final words echo the same invitation to explore the pours behind the drinks people enjoy.

The Church of the Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie

Mental Fitness, Army Values, and Business Leadership with Silvia Villarreal

Reverend Blake Rubie welcomes business coach Silvia Villarreal for a conversation about mental fitness, the Army values he lived by for decades, and the responsibilities of leadership. The episode also covers his kidney donation to his son and the value of drinking water, a departure from the show's usual heaven and spirituality topics.

Toastmasters Roles and a Warm Welcome
Reverend Blake Rubie opens the program on Saturday, October 3rd, by calling guest Silvia Villarreal on the line after producer Don connects her. The two greet each other warmly and explain that they share a Toastmasters club called Beyond Basics, which meets on the first and third Saturdays of the month. Rubie notes that Villarreal serves as Vice President Education there, and that he holds the same post at another club, a role that means coordinating meetings, filling speaking roles, and publishing agendas. He describes Toastmasters as practice for the moment when someone asks a listener to speak to a hundred people without warning. Villarreal then introduces herself as a business and life coach who has found a program called Positive Intelligence, which trains the mind toward positive thinking. She says she heard Rubie's recent talk on mental fitness and wanted to continue that conversation about how it can help people.

Army Values and Mental Fitness
Rubie explains that his remarks on mental fitness come from his years with the US Army, which he served for 22 years on active duty, then as a contractor for over six years and a civilian for almost sixteen. He describes the service's core values, which include mental, physical, and spiritual fitness, eating the right food, and getting enough sleep. Mental fitness, he says, means staying sharp and focused on the task at hand, and the Army pushed him to finish an associate's degree and then a bachelor's of science, a process that took 23 years after high school. Soldiers also keep reading field manuals about their Military Occupational Specialty, which Rubie says keeps them educated and not only fighting wars. Villarreal responds with respect for military service. She spent over 21 years at USAA, where she learned about the lives of service members and their spouses. She says many friends and relatives in San Antonio, Texas, have military ties, and she has seen how war affects people who readjust after returning from Iraq.

PTSD, Trauma, and a Kidney Donation
Rubie says PTSD is an issue for many people beyond war combat veterans, since many experiences across a lifetime can cause trauma. Villarreal agrees, and then Rubie shares a personal story. He donated one of his kidneys to his son, and he receives disability payments connected to that surgery. He says the donation changed his life, though not dramatically, and that a person can live well with one kidney but must take care to protect longevity. His son was ten months old and had spent about seven months on dialysis, vomiting constantly, when the donation happened. Rubie says his former wife could not donate because of a family history of kidney disease and borderline diabetes, so the task fell to him, and he would do it again. Villarreal calls the donation a gift and says God blesses such selflessness. Rubie reports that his son, now 32, is on a second kidney, a transplant from his best friend's mother in Ohio, after the one his father gave him lasted 19 years.

Water, Health, and Lingering Fatigue
Rubie recalls that his son's book, Finding Faith Through Dialysis, describes a childhood of gummy bears and soda pop. Rubie says children need healthy eating, including vegetables and protein, because poor eating harms the body even in childhood, and he believes his son's diet led to needing another transplant. Rubie urges listeners to drink their daily recommended amount of water, which he says could help prevent kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Villarreal agrees that bodies are largely liquid and that purer water is better. Rubie notes that smoothies, juices, and flavored water are good options, but nothing compares with plain water, which he compares to a dying desert traveler who would take a glass of water over an ice-cold beer. He then describes fatigue after the donation, which dulled the raw strength he once showed on the Army Physical Fitness Test. Rubie says his right lower abdomen felt like a board after the surgery, as nerves were cut and took years to grow back.

From USAA to Coaching With FocalPoint
Villarreal returns to her own story. After 21 years at USAA, she says a Capital One job offer required a move to Virginia during COVID, but her father had died and her family came first, so she stayed in San Antonio. After soul-searching, she bought a franchise with FocalPoint to coach, sharing lessons from about 25 years of growing from an individual contributor into a leader. FocalPoint's leadership framework, she says, serves business owners and employees building careers, and she stresses that a leadership title brings responsibility to protect people, at times acting as a human shield. A good workplace, she argues, shapes employees' families, children, and neighbors, so she urges human resources leaders to invest in culture. She also describes six businesses she has run, the first of which closed and still hurts, and her certification as an exit planning advisor, since only about 20 percent of businesses are able to sell. Many owners, she notes, count on their business for retirement, so she helps align companies to sell and keep more profits.

Goals, Communication, and a Farewell
Rubie asks about Villarreal's goals and dreams, mentioning a former club member who became a hospital CEO and moved to Houston. Villarreal says her current aim is to make executives' and teams' lives easier, since communication makes or breaks a project or relationship. A teacher's one inspiring word, she adds, can shape a child's future, while miscommunication can hurt a person for years, so she wants to train minds to communicate carefully, as Table Topics does in Toastmasters. Her stated goal is to keep growing as a certified professional coach so she can help others grow. Rubie calls it a good answer and notes that the program is nearly out of time. He recalls that his show once ran 55 minutes before shrinking to 30, and that time flies when people are talking. Rubie thanks Villarreal, hopes listeners found ideas to apply in their own lives, and says goodbye. He closes by wishing listeners God's blessing, urging them to look up at the stars, and promising to talk again next week.

The True History of Our Galactic World and NESARA with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna

The August 29th Deadline, Hidden Programs and Astrology with Steven Greer

Dr. Steven Greer explains the unanswered August 29th deadline in his letter to the US government and appeals for hard evidence from insiders. Hosts Tara Green and Rama Arjuna also feature Amanda Ellis's Metatron Monday video, Pam Gregory's October astrology, and the Pele Report.

Opening Prayers and Listener Support
Cheryl Croci opens the hour with a long decree, calling on angels, ascended masters and the Galactic Federation of Light to surround ten major technology companies, including NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Broadcom, Taiwan Semiconductor, Oracle and Advanced Micro Devices, with love and wisdom. She then leads a second prayer for divine government ahead of the November 3rd election. Cheryl invites listeners to her Sunday and Monday ascension calls and to her Wednesday divine government calls, giving the conference number and a contact address. Rainbird takes the talking stick next, explains that the program is listener supported, and thanks listeners for their donations to BBS Radio and to the hosts. Rainbird also points listeners to the Rainbow Roundtable website for NESARA law information and Rama's weekly reports. Tara Green and Rama Arjuna then thank everyone for their service, and Rama says that nobody needs to get rich because what the planet needs is equality and inclusion. They then introduce Dr. Steven Greer as the first program of the day.

Dr. Steven Greer Calls for Hard Evidence
Raven, who interviews Dr. Steven Greer, opens by asking about the August 29th deadline set in a letter to the US government, which Greer says went unanswered. Greer explains that the letter, sent return receipt requested, restates a position from 1996 and 1997: that programs run without congressional or presidential oversight are illegal, so any material leaking from them may be released. The deadline passed about three weeks ago, and Greer says no agency has disputed the claim. He now asks insiders, contractors and those working in military or intelligence roles to pass real video, photographs and physical material to his group through his website, which he promises to handle in strict confidence. Greer says the window is open now because the programs are still unlawful, and that once the material becomes officially classified, it could not be released without violating national security law.

Hidden Programs, Space Weapons and Who Blocks Disclosure
Greer tells listeners that officials who call the secret programs criminal are describing a real problem, and he compares them to a criminal front that will not open its back door on request. He says that when Congresswoman Luna and Congressman Burchett asked to see a facility at Eglin Air Force Base and were turned away, it was no surprise, because the normal chain of command does not reach these programs. Greer then makes claims about the programs' history, including political assassinations and the screening of staff for sociopathy, which he presents as things he was told by people who worked in them. Raven raises recent reports of space-based weapons meant to protect the Moon's cislunar space, and Greer calls this a psychological operation that feeds a space war narrative. He recounts a deathbed warning attributed to Wernher von Braun, and says a defense contractor told him of weapons platforms in space in 1965. Greer warns that weapons in orbit could be treated as a red line by other civilizations.

Post-Disclosure Life, AI and Energy
Greer turns to what life would look like after disclosure, describing abundant zero-point energy, the end of oil dependence and materials made on demand. He calls for universities, governments and the public to start planning for a transformation he says would touch religion, the economy and the human place in the cosmos. Tara Green asks whether AI will help or hinder disclosure, and Greer answers that it can amplify misinformation, so guardrails and a kill switch may be needed. Greer also argues that AI data centers will strain the grid and that zero-point energy would be cleaner than nuclear or coal. Tara then asks how people who have had CE-5 experiences can explain them to skeptical family members, and Greer advises building a step-by-step foundation before sharing. Tara notes that a CE-5 gathering in Sedona begins October 4th, with about 25 people at a remote site near the Secret Mountain Wilderness Area. Rama Arjuna closes the segment by comparing readiness for advanced contact to moving from kindergarten to Starfleet Academy.

Amanda Ellis on Metatron, Tarot and Fuel Worries
The hosts play a September 28 Metatron Mondays video from Amanda Ellis, recorded as a second take after a first attempt was lost. She describes waking with dread that she traces to a collective feeling of waiting for something unexpected. Archangel Metatron shows her an accordion and a jack-in-the-box, symbols of tension before release, and she links the feeling to a reported thwarted attack on the RAF Fairford air base in the UK, where a local woman raised the alarm. Ellis draws tarot and oracle cards on the theme of victim mentality, the status quo and letting go, and encourages viewers to be the one person who acts. She also praises Pope Leo's visit to France and reflects on the number 144,000 and the miracle of the loaves. Turning to fuel, she warns of possible rationing in the UK, France and the USA, and suggests stocking heavy supplies, walking more, and sharing with neighbours through community jumble sales. Rama Arjuna responds that the golden light she describes is a plasma energy from the sun.

Astrology, Pele Report and the Closing Call
Pam Gregory, who warns listeners that scammers use her name on other channels, previews the first half of October and the Libra new moon on the 10th. She explains that the outer planets are retrograde, that Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on October 3rd, and that Pluto turns direct on the 16th. Gregory links these transits to secrets coming to light, the feminine and questions of power, and to Haumea, Sedna and Black Moon Lilith. Richard then reads the chart geometry, describing a kite and a cosmic cross meeting at Pluto, and mentions a set of monthly charts he has prepared. Kaypacha follows with the weekly Pele Report, comparing Venus's descent through Scorpio to Inanna's journey into the underworld and reading Sabian symbols for the week ahead. Kaypacha suggests that the humbling of oil, AI and nations is a lesson in humility, and closes with a mantra about unconscious mistakes. Rama Arjuna gives the closing conference details, and the hosts end by calling for a participant named Don, who does not answer.

The Beyond Earth Show with Ray Trujillo

Venus Retrograde, Self-Worth, and the Value We Place on Ourselves

Host Ray Trujillo opens an October 3, 2026 transmission timed to Venus retrograde, inviting listeners to re-examine their self-worth, relationships, money, and sense of value. In this solo hour he links the planet's themes to self-validation, receiving, inherited values, and cultural measures of beauty and age.

Opening the Show Under Venus Retrograde
Trujillo opens the hour with the intro theme and a greeting for the October 3, 2026 transmission, wishing listeners a good beginning to fall. The show is timed to Venus retrograde, which Trujillo describes as a period when a planet appears to move backward while in fact it does not. Venus rules love, relationship, attraction, beauty, money, possessions, and receiving, so this retrograde becomes a re-evaluation of the heart. Trujillo places the period as officially beginning today and running until November 13, with a retrograde that starts in Scorpio and moves into Libra. Other overlapping markers include a cazimi on October 23 and a Mercury retrograde, and Trujillo suggests listeners may notice these themes in their own lives or in the wider world around them.

Self-Validation and Intrinsic Worth
Trujillo turns to the central question of the retrograde: what a person is worth when nobody is validating them. Trujillo acknowledges that people naturally seek recognition from peers, colleagues, friends, and family, since feeling received and safe is part of human nature, but argues that self-validation can be stronger than external praise. Accolades may be welcome, yet a person can collect every award and still feel never enough, a pattern Trujillo links to competitive athletes and performers who are only as good as their last performance. Trujillo advises gentleness during this period and recommends writing by hand, even if the first ten minutes seem like gibberish, as a way of externalizing the subconscious. Trujillo also notes that memories from the spring and fall of 2018 may resurface, and frames them as opportunities for reflection rather than something to force. Trujillo gives the example of a positive memory: getting sober in 2018 and being eight years sober now.

Worth Beyond Relationships and Compliments
Trujillo next applies the theme to relationships, whether a breakup, a reconnection, or a marriage in question. The suggested exercise is to look at oneself as an individual, apart from the other person, and ask whether one is a happier person with or without that partner, while setting aside practical matters such as finances, family, and children. Trujillo acknowledges that the question may sound like the question of the century, and that people sometimes want what they cannot have. Friendships receive the same scrutiny: is the friendship reciprocal, consistent, and beneficial emotionally, intellectually, and in the heart, or is it draining? Trujillo cautions that feeling needed is not the same as feeling loved, and that a compliment can serve as a reminder of value that already exists rather than creating it. The host also warns against outsourcing self-worth to relationships, social status, or what society expects. Trujillo calls this homework, asking listeners to contemplate their value as individuals, even in a room full of people or a long, happy marriage.

Receiving, Generosity, and the Artist's Worth
Trujillo develops the idea of receiving through the example of an artist who gives away work freely, pouring time, energy, and expensive materials into each piece. Trujillo describes how a gift repeated again and again can create scarcity on the other side, leaving the artist without money for more supplies, studio time, or food, and suggests that someone else may need to say the work is worth more. Picasso and Van Gogh are mentioned as artists who died penniless and were later valued at a fortune, a remark presented as an illustration rather than a historical argument. Trujillo then turns the example inward: a person who always gives, cooks, cleans, and cares for others may struggle when they are the one who needs help after a minor injury. Trujillo encourages listeners to practice saying yes when friends offer bread, vegetables, tea, or a cleaned room, suggesting that many people are waiting for the chance to return the kindness. The host asks whether listeners have been blocking others from reciprocating.

Money, Leaks, and Inherited Values
Trujillo connects money with love, describing both as carrying a sense of perceived value, while money also carries a measured value. Trujillo asks listeners to look at spending and attention for money leaks, such as subscriptions forgotten for years or spending that is a form of self-soothing, and to ask whether a shopping spree is an act of self-love or a way to fill a gap. Trujillo distinguishes net worth from self-worth, noting that finances can change dramatically while a person's worth does not. The discussion then moves to values, which Trujillo describes as shaped by family, ancestry, culture, religion, socioeconomic class, and the modeling a child observed, including whether a parent died young or the family was harmonious, toxic, or abusive. Adopted listeners are included, since Trujillo describes epigenetic and spiritual inheritance as existing even without biological confirmation. As an adult, a person can review those inherited values and decide to keep, adjust, or replace them with values they create themselves.

Beauty, Age, and a Venusian Inventory
Trujillo turns to beauty, appearance, and age, which Venus governs as a kind of mirror. Trujillo notes that culture often sets standards that leave people feeling judged whatever they do, and that a person can admire beauty without letting appearance define worth. Trujillo points to people in their eighties who swim the English Channel as a sign that age does not define a person, and observes that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, often in ways the admired person cannot see. The host asks listeners to name something they love about themselves and to set aside whether they feel too young or too old. Trujillo then closes the hour with a Venusian inventory: say or write "I value" and let the first answers come, such as garden, family, animals, work, ancestors, spirit guides, God, or self-respect, then look for deeper layers. Listeners are invited to examine where their money, time, attention, and energy go over time, and to discern what they want more of and less of. Trujillo ends with a call for self-compassion.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel

Will Russia Attack NATO?

Is Russia about to invade NATO? Is the “Special Military Operation” into Ukraine about to creep into Latvia, some of the other Baltic States, or Poland?

Is the United States and Europe so weakened by their own military and economic problems that Russia sees this as their best opportunity to take back land from Europe that they feel rightfully belongs under Russian control?

How about a conspiracy? Is it possible that Russia and Germany have conspired together to allow Russia to attack Europe’s eastern flank without Germany’s interference, and then later divide the conquered land between them? Or instead, that a deal between the coming King of the North and Russia will lead to the conquering of the United States and its British-descended allies, consistent with Daniel 11:39?

Did Daniel prophesy that the European King of the North would be troubled by powers from its north and east in Daniel 11:44-45? Could that be referring to Russia and parts of Asia?

Did the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah warn that a Russian-led confederation would conquer the end-time 'daughter of Babylon'?

How about Gog and Magog? Is the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 about to be fulfilled? Was Hal Lindsey right that Russia is the prophesied King of the North in Daniel chapter 11? Is Armageddon right around the corner?

Do you know the answers to those questions with 100% certainty? Do you really know how Gog and Magog fit into the timeline of Biblical prophecy? Are you sure?

God knows. God knows the answers to those questions with 100% certainty.

And He wants to reveal those answers to you.
Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical truth on Russia’s real role in end time prophecy.

Will Russia Attack NATO? The King of the North with Dr. Bob Thiel

Dr. Bob Thiel joins host Steve Dupuis to weigh reports of Russian drones over Romania and Western warnings of a limited attack on NATO against Bible prophecies in Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11, Jeremiah 50, and Isaiah 13.

Drones Over Romanian Airspace
Steve Dupuis opens the Bible News Prophecy program by asking Dr. Bob Thiel whether the conflict in Ukraine is spreading toward NATO. Thiel points to fallout in neighboring countries such as Romania, where, as of August 17, four Russian drones had been shot down in Romanian airspace. He cites an ABC News report that Romania has counted at least twenty-three violations of its airspace by Russian drones this year. Thiel then reads a statement from the Romanian Ministry in Bucharest, which says there is so far nothing to suggest Moscow intended to violate its airspace. The ministry added that it could not conclude the rise in drone incidents came from deliberate attempts to target specific locations. Thiel lets the official language stand while noting how carefully it is worded. Dupuis takes the answer as a starting point and moves quickly toward the bigger question of whether Russia is preparing to strike the alliance itself.

Western Warnings Of A Limited Attack
Thiel reports that Western intelligence agencies are increasingly concerned Russia may be preparing a limited hybrid operation against NATO's eastern flank, particularly involving the Baltic States or Poland. He cites a CNN report that US intelligence assessments suggest the Russian president could try to test the alliance's resolve by launching a limited attack on an allied country within a few years. Thiel acknowledges that NATO's leaders say they are ready, but he notes that some people think Moscow could get away with a small attack. He reads a warning from former German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, who said in May that Russia might attack because of doubts about whether the United States would come to the aid of an attacked European nation under Article 5. Guttenberg also said Europeans are not yet capable of effectively defending themselves. Thiel concludes that this gives Vladimir Putin, in the article's view, a clear window of opportunity to act.

Ezekiel 38 And The Prince Of Russia
Thiel turns to a booklet called The Prophesied Prince of Russia, which argues from Ezekiel 38 that Putin will probably conquer more nations of the former Soviet Union, and that the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have already been targeted by hybrid attacks. He reads Ezekiel 38:2 and notes the booklet's claim that the phrase should read prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, with Rosh as the ancient name of Russia. A list of possible places tied to the prince is garbled in the source transcript, so its exact wording is uncertain. Thiel asks who this prince of Russia really is and whether such a conquest is plausible. He then cites a 2008 article warning that Germany's leaders may already have made a modern Hitler-Stalin pact with Russia, dividing countries and assets between them. Thiel says the article's closing question, whether Russia and Germany will divide Europe as they did early in World War II, is answered with a no. Dupuis asks why, and Thiel turns to the chapter's setting.

Germany, Russia, And The Coming Reckoning
Thiel moves from the article to what he calls the real alignment behind the headlines. He argues that Russia's deal with Germany is not about giving up European Union nations, but about eliminating the United States and its British-descended allies and dividing them up. He cites Daniel 11:39, which he reads as describing the European King of the North conquering the power with the strongest military and fortresses, the United States, and dividing the land for gain. Thiel then quotes an old Radio Church of God article from 1962 that asked whether Germans could rely on the Americans and British, and concluded they should make a better bargain with the Russians. He also reads a line claiming that most Americans and Britons are unaware of what Germany and Europe are plotting. Thiel turns to Revelation 13:3-4, describing a European beast power whose military accomplishments astonish the world, and says this conquest will include a confederation of Islamic nations in the Middle East and North Africa.

The King of the North and Kings of the East
Dupuis asks where Russia fits into the end-time picture, and Thiel answers that Daniel 11:44 says news from the east and the north will trouble the European power. He reasons that this points to Russia and Asia as an alliance against Europe. Turning to Revelation 16:12-16, Thiel says the sixth angel dries up the Euphrates so the way of the kings from the east is prepared, and he says Russia is clearly part of that group. He notes that China, which has almost the most people, is increasing cooperation with Russia. Thiel rejects the view of the late Protestant Hal Lindsey that Russia is the King of the North, because there is no power north and east of Russia. He then reads Jeremiah 50, which speaks of a people coming from the north and a great nation raised up against the daughter of Babylon. Thiel quotes Herbert W. Armstrong, who wrote in 1982 that these nations will come against what he calls Catholic Europe, and Thiel says Russia would lead that northern force.

A Later Date And Closing Warning
Thiel reads Isaiah 13 as a parallel to Jeremiah, describing the burden against Babylon that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw, with a multitude of nations gathered together and the Lord musters an army for battle. He describes every man's heart melting in fear, with pangs and sorrows like those of a woman in childbirth. He says the passage and the Jeremiah 50 account describe the same invaders, and that it is about a later time, not now. Thiel places this particular attack no earlier than 2032 or 2033, and says that is the absolute earliest he thinks it can happen. He is careful to say he is not predicting it will happen then. He expects military incursions before that time, but says biblical prophecy shows Russia conquering much of Europe only after the United States and a coming Islamic empire are conquered first. He closes by insisting that Ezekiel 38 is not for our age. Dupuis thanks Thiel and directs listeners to biblenewsprophecy.net for more interviews, articles, and audio.
