You often hear us talk about the negative aspects of the fitness industry, health, fitness, and wellness industry is failing. But here's another side. Look, we've been doing this for over two decades, and there have been some very positive changes. It does seem like things are trending for the better. So in today's episode, we're going to talk about the five big positive changes that have happened in our space in this industry. We can only figure out five. It took me forever. We're not always heavy doubters. Yeah, we spent four hours just to find five. We were going to do this episode if it was the one positive change. I mean, there's none. You know why? Because I have to think back. Literally what we did is we thought back to when we started, because I started in 97. When did you start Adam? 2000? 2001. 2001, and when were you? 2000, probably two. Okay, so we've been doing this for a while. Yeah, a long time. And if I really think back to when I started, it is very different. Gyms are different. A lot of things are different. And the differences that I can think about, many of them are positive. Many of them are positive. You know what it is to sell is that there's actually quite a few things, even beyond this list of five. But what the space tends to do is to bastardize it. So it had good intention, or the idea was good, or it was something positive that ended up turning to be negative because they bastardized it. An example, which is not on our list, would be something like fasting. Fasting has been around for a very long time. It's just recently become more popular. There's a lot of really cool benefits of practicing fasting for your health. But unfortunately, we have bastardized it so much and we've turned it into a fat loss diet, which is the worst way they could do it. So now, all of a sudden, I would not put this in the category of top five things because of that. So I think there's examples of quite a few things like that in the space. But the five that we're going to cover today, I would say are, for the most part, really, really positive. Yeah, you know what they do? I'm going to make up a word. The fitness industry trender-izes things. So it's like, here's the thing. How do we make this a trend? Put that in Adam's library. You like that?  Because real fitness and health is really rooted in changes in behaviors. Your approach, of course, is part of it, like the techniques and things that you use. But it's a lot deeper than just like this one trick, right? The secret thing or this trend. And that's what the fitness space does is it takes these, it'll take truths like fasting, like spiritual health benefits. How can we market this more effectively and get you to spend money in this direction? Or attach a supplement to it. Yeah, attach something to it. Yeah, I mean, look, the fitness industry is an industry. It is a market and it changes often like all markets do because consumers' demands change and consumers become more informed over time. That doesn't always necessarily mean consumers are more properly informed. They just have more information as an industry gets older. Now, I will say that if you look at all industries, even old industries, especially old industries, over time and generations, consumers become, do become more properly informed. Like, you know, snake oil medicine is not really a thing like it used to be, right? Where someone traveled from town to town and would literally sell some bogus thing to cure all kinds of ailments. You still have snake oil-ish type stuff, but it's not like it used to be because I think over the generations, people kind of got hip to it. Fitness industries like that as well. So it is driving a lot of changes and there have been, I mean, if we're quite honest, it's very different than it was when we first started. Yeah, I think too, because there's so much information out there, I think, you know, sort of a good North Star is to look for the long-form content that's out there. Because you have like multiple options and you get hit a lot with marketing, with the short kind of grab your attention type content out there. Sometimes it's decent, sometimes it's okay, but for the most part, to have somebody explain their way through all the nuances is going to be crucial for you to really get a good understanding of the subject.

Our beginner strength training program, MAPS Resistance is half off.  If you're interested, just click on the link at the top of the description below. All right, back to the show. So I think the single greatest thing that's happened is just strength training getting popular, especially in women. It's been a long time since we started. But think back, think back to all the conversations you had to have with female clients or members, or even beyond that, think about walking into those gyms, going into the freewayed area, even the machine area, prime time, how many women would you see in there versus men? There was almost none. The freewayed area, there was none. There would be no women in the freewayed area. Machine area, you might see one woman for every 10 men. That's what it literally was like. Well, really, the evolution for all of us was exactly what you just described. There was none. Then there was a small percentage, but enough of a percentage that they decided to make a little private room. It was tiny. Yeah, a little group training session. With purple colored machines that were the same machines that were outside for everybody else. Then the breaking down of those walls and then it's just everybody. We watched that evolution happen. Then here we are today. This just happened not that long ago on the podcast where we heard the term muscle mommy. Combine those two words. Yeah. It's a good thing. Yeah, the fact that it's become so popular and so widely accepted that there's terms that women are excited to build muscle. I think that has to be the most positive thing that comes to mind when I think of all the positive things that's happened over the last couple decades. No woman would have wanted to be called strong 25 years ago. If you told a woman, wow, you look strong.  I look like, now if you say you look strong, women really like it. Unless they're anomaly. Yeah. So there's that, but there's also just in general strength training has become more popular across the board. There was a report that I read and I remember what the organization was. I want to say Ursa, but I'm not sure, but there was an organization among gym franchises. Okay. And the trend right now is to take space away from areas that were typically designated for more and more different cardio machines to move towards strength training. Strength training is where more and more of the footprint of big gyms is being delegated now to strength training because it's popularity. It's also a form of exercise now that we recognize as being considerably healthy, if not one of the healthiest ways to exercise. That was not the conversation. No. When we first started strength training was, yeah, it makes you strong. You get better performance. And if you did a good job and can you could convince someone easy for guys, cause guys want to look like Arnold and Sylvester Stallone. But if you're really good at communicating, you could convince a woman that strength training will shape her body, make her look good. But nobody was thinking strength training for health, except for people in the space in the industry. Nobody, there were almost no studies. First of all, all the studies on exercise and health were walking or cardio or cardiovascular based. There was no studies on the strength, the benefits of strength training. Little by little they started trickling through. Oh, it improves bone density. Oh, wait a minute. It actually improves longevity. It's anti-cancer. Oh my God, it's good for blood glucose levels. It's good for the brain. It prevents Alzheimer's. But it took a long time to get those. So definitely no doctors were recommending strength. In fact, if you went to a doctor 25 years ago and they recommend that you exercise and you said, oh, okay. I think I'm going to go start lifting weights. No, go for a run. Yeah, do something else because we want to improve your health. So strength training has become, in comparison to how it was, way more popular. And now when I work out in gyms now, the free weight area and the machine area is pretty damn busy. And it's like a no joke equal mix, men and women. It's literally half and half. Yeah. And to your point about the, I mean, even though we still have a long way to go with doctors recommending it as a first line of defense, both with like physical strength and health and but also mental. But the fact that that's even becoming a thing. Like there are doctors. We have, in fact, we have plenty of doctors in our forum and then listen to our show that they say all the time. Like, hey, that's, I always tell my clients first thing or patients first thing to start to strength train and clean up the diet. And so it is becoming a conversation that didn't exist just 20 years ago. So I would say that the general strength for general population, especially women, especially what we're seeing on from on the medical side that we're moving. It's like, that's a very positive trend that I can say about the space. I would say that all you may say this, it is going to be all signs are pointing to the fact that strength training will be the primary form of exercise that will be recommended here very soon. Very soon, that's what people are going to be recommended to do in order to improve the health, regardless of age, regardless of gender or goal, which is a very positive change because if you listen to the show, you know how we talk about strength training and just how profoundly beneficial it is on a time for time basis, meaning the time you spend strength training, you get way more in return than you do with any other form of exercise. So it's a huge positive. It's great. And the thing is, I mean, there's a little bit of an education process to that. So the more that this gets promoted, the more likely people that are unaware of how to get started are going to be able to find their way to figure out their first steps with that. And I think that's, you know, in terms of like the physicians and people back in the day, it's like the easiest thing for them would just be to tell them to go walk or go run, do something movement-wise, but now to get more specific with that. That's going to help you so much further if you actually take the time to learn how to wait. I was talking to friends of mine that still work in the gym space. And I brought up that article that I told you guys about, about how gyms are dedicating more space to weights and machines than ever before. And I asked them, I said, so I told them, I said, I remember when I was managing big box gyms and we're talking, I owned a wellness studio for 15 years. So at least 15 years ago that I actually managed a big box gym. And I remember how one of the ways that they would attract new members is they would get a new piece of cardio, right? A new different form of cardio. And then we would highlight that and would give tours. That's what people are interested in. And I asked them, I said, is it still like that? They said, no, people now want to see the free weights. They want to see bumper plates. Wow. They want to see- That's completely different. They want to see, you know, platforms where you could drop the weights. Crazy. Yeah. That's so different. And that's such a big change. So along those lines, I think that's the second, the best thing that I've seen happen, which is we have now made squatting and deadlifting popular again. And I mean, that used to trip me. I mean, I was guilty of this as a trainer. I mean, I was a trainer for well over five years before I ever even attempted a deadlift myself personally. And barbell back squatting, I barely ever did. I was not somebody who did that. And so I didn't teach it that much. And that was like the first five years of my career. Like leaving out to what I think now I would argue is the most important exercises in a routine. I completely left that out of my own and my clients for a good portion of my career where that is the opposite now. Like every gym has got four or five squat racks and there is always a weight to get it, which is crazy to think that we've come from one squat rack, dust all over it. Nobody using it to four or five in a gym. People are waiting or scheduling their workouts around when they think they'll be able to get a squat rack is that's unbelievable. People don't know. Okay. So unless you've been doing this for a long time, like we have, this is not an exaggeration. Not at all. Like this swore to God, 100%. The most popular big box gyms. Okay. We ran them. You're talking about 35, 45,000 square foot facilities. These are massive gyms producing hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in new revenue. And you would have one squat rack, one. And I think the reason why they put the squat rack in is because the original owners are like, we got to have this in here because nobody use it. Yeah. It was literally when Adam says it had dust on it. It would be in the corner, typically if you wanted to find it and there was, and nobody ever touched it at all. In fact, the only time someone would ever touch it would be if someone wanted to do curls in it. That's a joke now. But that's how it was. It's so not an exaggeration that when you, and I don't know if you said that first or I said it first, but I actually have a moment when I was, okay. So my first club was Capitol McKee that I managed. The squat rack was in the corner by itself. Like you're saying, there's one of the things that my district manager would do is we would, as soon as he'd get to the club, we would tour our club and he basically we would, he would pick apart where the equipment was laid out or the, if my trainers were talking to people. And on that many times he's looking at equipment and I have a memory of him wiping his finger on the squat rack and showing me how dusty it was. You know, he would go there on purpose. Yeah.  And I remember being checked as a manager like, hey, I don't care if this equipment's being used or not. You got to keep it clean.  I, so I, uh, luckily I met power lifters as a kid, uh, in a gym and they taught me how to squat and deadlift at the age of 16. And I remember, uh, as a gym manager, remember I'm the guy runs the gym. I would squat and I would deadlift part of my workout. And every time, every time a member would say something to me, they'd be like, what are you doing?  And you're going to hurt a young man.  You shouldn't be doing that. So deadlifting, in fact, this is how unpopular, so squatting was nobody did squat deadlift. Nobody even knew what a deadlift was. Yeah. If you deadlifted people thought you made something up. It was so unpopular that again, the biggest gym chains in the world bought hexagon shaped plates. Yeah. Yeah. You don't, you can't. Terrible for deadlifts. Terrible. But you put the weight down at twists and whatever. Yeah. But that's, no, they didn't think about it because nobody deadlifted. That's how incredibly unpopular it was. The bars weren't even designed to handle load on squats and deadlifts. You know, obviously that's, those the exercise people will lift more. So you'd bend a bar quite often. It was just, it was, it was, it was crazy. Yeah. That radically changed now. I mean, honestly, it's probably Planet Fitness the only place left that probably doesn't highlight those two specific lists. Every single other gym has had to redesign. Yeah. And recreate their gym to, to fit that demand. It's actually gotten to the point where when you go to a major gym, there's, there's a, typically an area that's segmented. Yeah. For deadlifts. And it's visible as you walk in. Now I'm going to give the credit because the credit, there's a lot of people that have to give credit to this change, but the largest, the biggest piece of credit for this squatting and deadlifting, you know, coming back into the foray. Great exercises that are just so valuable is CrossFit. Definitely. CrossFit 100%. Definitely. Change the industry by popularizing squats and deadlifts. It's the single best thing they ever did. That's it. That's it. They made certain free-wit exercises popular and it was in squatting and deadlifting didn't start happening en masse until CrossFit became a popular trendy thing to watch on social media, whatever, or just to follow. All of a sudden, gyms had to figure out how to accommodate members that wanted to try those two exercises because now you only have one squat rack and then we have hexagonal plates. And so bumper plates and platforms and squat racks became the norm. I would make the case, too, that they could get a little bit of the credit for even the first one because part of... For strength training? Yeah. Yeah, I would agree. Part of the movement of muscle mommy and women getting into strength training more, a lot of that had to do with the squatting and deadlifting of women in CrossFit gyms. You know why? You know why? Before CrossFit, the only representation in media of women who strength train were female bodybuilders. Nobody wants to look like a female bodybuilder. Not even female bodybuilders want to look like that. But then you had female CrossFit athletes. This is before CrossFit got super big and even those athletes became performance enhanced or enhanced with PEDs or whatever. But back then, you had these really sculpted-looking women doing some incredible feats. And then women looked at them and go, I want to look like that. And you're right, I agree with you. I think they made the biggest impact with that. It goes hand-in-hand with the squatting and deadlifting. I mean, what built those amazing physiques on those women who were squatting, deadlifting, overhead pressing? I mean, those movements build incredible bodies on both men and women. And I think that that was the first time in media that you had this good representation of what strength training at not an extreme level of like bodybuilding, what could look like for a woman. And I think that that attracted more and more women to the gym to lift weights and then also to do those type of movements. Totally. The next one, this one's going to be controversial, but it's true if you really think about it, new media really got taken over. Fitness really flourished in new media. In fact, most of the posts and articles that really just take off or many of them are fitness related in new media. And it just, they took out the old guard. Now people, you know, of course we could talk about social media and its potential negatives, but social media, like any powerful tool is double-edged sword, like fire, right? Fire can burn. We could wage war with it, but it also transformed us, allowed us to do incredible things. New media, if that didn't exist, well, first off, we wouldn't exist. There were the gatekeepers to information in the fitness space. It was a club and you weren't getting in the club unless they were going to let you in. Like if we had an idea, it's called Mind Pump and we brought it to the editors of muscle and fitness or flex or Ironman or whatever, ain't going to happen. There's no way. We'd have to sign the contract to sell your products. We're going to say certain things. We're not going to say certain things. And it would all, everything would stay the same. New media lowered the bar or the entrance, I should say, to the market so much. And yes, it does allow a lot of crap in, but it also allowed a lot of innovation, a lot of new voices. And we were able to build our company without having to have sponsors, without having to sell anybody's products or watch what we had to say. And, you know, that made that possible. It makes information accessible to everybody, which means bad information, but also means good information. We'd still be on low-fat diets, you know? Yeah, eating, I can't believe it's not butter. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, there was just a whole lot of gatekeepers back then. And, you know, from every kind of direction, and definitely from the supplement companies, if we had a lot of control over, like, what we were kind of taught and also regurgitating with our clients and, yeah, this new media wave was really a way for a lot more voices to get involved and then actually pull people in a better direction and then also, you know, at the same time, you know, maybe pull people a little bit astray. So, but I think at this point now, we're in a better spot where you can at least get into the filtering, okay? Yeah. Where the good information is out there. It's just a matter now of being able to filter through it. Yeah, I don't think this is controversial at all. I think that, you know, the best thing for bad speech is more good speech. Yes. And so, yes, it's brought on more charlatans, more bad actors, but at least we have the free market to come in and out-compete that bad information with more better, good information. And if ours is truly better, then we will win, ultimately. The cream will rise to the top. People will eventually find out who the charlatans are. People will eventually find out what's not working and then they'll find their way to the good, where when you have, you know, three news outlets or three newspapers or three channels of where everybody consumes their content, you do not have that diversification. You don't have that ability for someone with better information or a better answer to out-compete those people. We're here. I love it. So, yeah, there's some bad things about social media, but I mean, for a consumer and for the overall space, it is a win, 100%. It's a massive win. Totally. I think the false comparison is perfect speech and information compared to what we have now. Perfect never exists. Really, the competition is restricted, heavily regulated, watched over, controlled speech versus open speech. And open speech is better because exactly what you guys are saying, we can now get our voice out there, compete, let our ideas compete, and consumers actually become more informed. They actually, I mean, the stuff that we just said, I think social media played a huge role in that. I don't see how, I mean, who would have allowed CrossFit to grow like it did in the old guard unless they bought it, right, and owned it themselves? A lot of people don't know this, but the magazines that, where you got your fitness and health information from in the past, those were pamphlets for supplement companies. And so everything was communicated in a way to sell their products. And so that's the information you got. And the women's health and fitness, you know, outlets were even worse. What, did they have Cosmo? I mean, some of the stuff in there was just... Like, jazzercise, like, infomercials. Terrible. Yeah, so, yeah, you can find a lot of other stuff, a lot of bad stuff, but new media lowers the barrier to enter. So now, you know, three trainers, really good trainers from the Bay Area who are hard-headed and do not want to be told what to say, have an opportunity to get on and start a podcast and, you know, partner up. And because it is so, there's so many, and it's so competitive, that also drives down the price for the consumer. I mean, we're with like, we've said this before, it's like, listen, you could go through all of our podcasts or buy any of our programs. It's not like we don't give out the information on how we've built those things and how we write them. And you literally, that information exists for free now. If you wanted to take the time to educate yourself and listen to everything that we communicate on there, which we have, I know a lot of people that do that. A lot of people are not in a place where they can afford, you know, a 60 to $80 digital program. And so, they listen to the show and they take that information and they go apply it and it changes their life. Like, that's, think about that, that's awesome. We have that opportunity as a consumer now to, if you're willing to put the work in and listen and take the time, there's enough good free information out there that you can build the answer for yourself. Yeah, it's crazy. It's like when we were training, you'd have to spend thousands of dollars to go to these. Yeah. Yeah, these certifications or these like clinics and, you know, to be able to convey that now to just your small group of clientele in hope that that kind of spawns from there, but now it's like the smart... YouTube. Yeah, YouTube.  It's all the same information. Just before that, it was totally behind a paid wall. So cool. Next up is wearable fitness and health tech. This one, you know, when we were talking about this episode, Adam brought it up and I thought, at first I was like, because I'm not a huge fan of wearables, but you know what, this is such, this is such a profound change when I think back to just a given example. When I used to have to figure out calories and macros for food, I used to have to buy, I bought a book called Calorie King.  Every time go in and find the food. And if it wasn't in there, if I went to a restaurant and it wasn't in there, then I'd have to figure it out and be like, well, this looks like there's four ounces of chicken. How many ounces is this? This looks like I'd have to do the math and figure it out.  Now you have apps, you plug in the food, it populates and you got it. They even have now apps in the works where you'll be able to take a picture of your food. Yeah. It'll tell you what exists. I remember when the first like big wearable came out was the body bug.  It counted your steps, but also with pretty decent accuracy, something like 90% accuracy told you how many calories you burned. As a trainer, this revolutionized my approach. And here's a simple example. This was the first time when I really had like a mind-blowing moment with this. I had a client come in, she wore it because I sold them in my studio. She came in and we uploaded her information and it popped up and I looked at it and so she trained with me Monday, Wednesday, Friday. So Tuesday, Thursday, she didn't work out. Saturday and Sunday, she didn't work out. And I looked at it and I'm like, this was the first week where she wore it. And I'm like, oh my God, what did you do on Saturday and Sunday? You burned a lot of calories. I'm like, did you like go hiking? Did you go around? Like what did you do? So I just went, I went shopping with my girlfriends on Saturday. And then Sunday, I cleaned the house, washed the car and I was like, what? And then I looked at Monday, Wednesday, Friday. And I saw that because she worked a tech job, right? And I saw her activity was like nothing.  And I realized like, wow, we're sedentary all the time. Even the days we work out, because one hour out of the whole day, if you sit at a desk, is nothing. And then the fact that she was so active on days that she didn't even work out, just going out and about her day, doing chores and stuff like that, it really blew my mind and put things into perspective in terms of how to approach health and fitness. That's just one silly example too. Yeah, no, I'm a huge fan of wearables. And not because I think that everybody should wear them and you should read what they say and then adjust your life according to what the digital feedback is. But what it is, it's just more insight and data that you can start to accumulate to better understand what is going on. And to your body bug point, it completely blew my mind. Not only with my own personal activity, but all my clients, and then it completely shifted and changed the way that I coach them. So unless you go and figure that out for yourself and then it changes the way you coach, that tool is such a valuable asset for coaches to get a better idea of what it looks like when your client goes grocery shopping and does yard work versus when they train for an hour hardcore with you depending on their jobs or if things not moving, they're not moving the needle, like their body weight's staying the same, they're not changing. And you have another data point to go look at and go, oh, well, it kind of makes sense. Yeah, it takes a lot of the mystery out and the guessing out versus we had to just guess on that stuff. And I mean, God, we know how deceiving the mirror and the scale could be, but at one point that was mostly what we had Calipers to go on, which has room for air there too. So it's like just collecting more data that you have to utilize to better understand what is going on with your current diet or plan that you're on. I'm just, I think it's an incredible thing that we didn't have before and I think it's only getting better with these like, you know, they're less invasive. I was going to mention the, yeah, all the lifestyle ones, like anything that can kind of give us more insight, even as coaches as to like some of those things you ask about how much sleep they're getting and they'll give you like a random number like, yeah, usually six to seven hours of sleep but it's like you look at their patterns with that. None of it's like deep sleep, you know, and so you start to ask more questions, start figuring out night routines, start kind of working on that a little more exclusively to get a lot better results, but, you know, it's just, you don't know what you don't know and so this kind of helps bring a basis point there for the individual and the coach. Well, in a perfect example, right? We talk about how much, how important sleep is, great example, Justin, and talking about the ordering. So let's say you get this thing, right?  It's not horrible, but it's not good. You average 67, you know, every day just, that's an average, right? And so now you decide, hey, I've never tried to really make an effort to get better sleep. You know, what if I ate an hour earlier? What if I turned the lights off in my house? What if I stopped? The temperature down. Yeah, temperature, like, wait, let me, let me change a few of these things and see what happens. And then that score goes to 78. Yeah. And you're like, whoa, like a few little lifestyle changes and I'm already getting 10% better sleep than what I was before. What if I just, one or two more things, maybe I get another 5% out? And then what does that impact my workouts and my productivity and my day and my results? Like, so, and then if you didn't have that, you wouldn't have, you would have to totally guess. That's a hard thing to guess. Well, now we have like, with, with like a NeutroSense.io. Now we have CGMs that you can wear, measures your glucose, your blood glucose in real time. And you work with a dietician on the other end. Why, this is a big deal because, you know, we can generally have an idea of how certain foods will affect your blood glucose, which affects your behaviors and how you feel.  You know, I could look at it. There's certain foods that are low on the glycemic index, but cause blood glucose to spike radically in someone. I've seen people's blood glucose spike from non-carbohydrate, non-sugar containing foods because that food caused an immune response in them. Not, not allergy, food allergy, but something that you couldn't really tell, except for the fact that, wow, this avocado made by blood glucose spike really high. I should probably avoid this avocado. How would you know that without this device that you could wear on your arm? You would never guess. Never in a million years would anybody, no expert would ever say the avocado was causing your energy crash in the afternoon. But these wearable tech, and it's going to get better. It's going to get to the point where it'll be able to measure in real-time nutrient levels, absorption rates, inflammation, recovery levels. They've already got it. In fact, I forget the name of the company. I think I talked about it a while back. There's already now a company where you can just take a picture of the food and it calculates how before you had to input it all. That's crazy. Yeah, so it's just getting better and better. All right, the last one, and I remember when this first started happening, now we've come full circle and it's going great. That's awareness around functional training. Functional, the way it was really defined when it became a thing was, I guess, exercises that make you more functional in the real world. Exercises with carryover. Real-world strength. Yeah, allow you to move well in the real world. Now, I remember this became a trend when we were trainers. I remember it went from... It was all like a lot of balance. Yes. Which was heavy. There was that study. I don't remember what basketball team it was, where they had them train with stability in mind and their injury rates went down. It plummeted. And so that became like this big thing. And all of a sudden we had dyna discs and physio balls and everybody was doing one leg of this and medicine balls. And it became a trend and it was overused or it was an applied variable. However, the conversation needed to happen. The conversation needed to happen where trainers and coaches and consumers understood that exercise isn't just about looking good. And it's also about health, but it's also about real-world mobility. Your ability to move in the world, change directions, move laterally, rotate, twist, bend over. You want to also train. Don't just get good at the exercise that makes you look good. Also learn how to move well. And so it really ushered in this new acceptance of different exercises. And now we have people doing all kinds of cool stuff. Okay, so full circle with this because we kind of started out praising CrossFit. And they were great about... So the conventional gym was geared towards making it safe and so you could get more people to sign up. And so they would be able to do machines and everything was sort of nice and sagittal, plain-based and controlled that way. And so gym owners liked that. Then we started including squat racks because CrossFit became more popular and so that became a thing. However, the sport of CrossFit sort of emerged with that, which then took a lot of functional type exercises and completely bastardized them, in my opinion. And this was because they wanted to make it more about time and about reps and hitting all of these specific metrics and less about quality in terms of like the training and the programming of it. But then we start to realize there are benefits to those exercises. Maybe we just do them more like, in a sort of a standardized like progressive fashion. And so you started to see gyms start to turn more towards opening up instead of you having to go to a CrossFit gym to do these exercises. Let's do it in a conventional setting. Let's have some turf involved so we can add in sleds. We can have more multi-planar type exercises, which is really what this is, to me, functional training is sort of geared towards is more just movement specifically that you train outside of just in front of me and behind me. So I'm going left to right and I'm twisting as well. Yeah, when I think of the trajectory of the functional training thing, I don't know, it follows a lot of things in our space that I think are good, right? Like they, when it's something good and there's enough of science and there's enough application to support, oh, wow, this is something we want to be doing and it's beneficial. We tend to adopt it and then we tend to bastardize it and then it comes back to like, okay. What was the good in it? Yeah, here's, and I feel like foam rolling was like that.  Dynadis were like that. Like any sort of one-legged, you know, unilateral challenge, you know, stuff. I mean, a lot of these things, they had really good value to them and they have an absolute place in application to training the general population. But like many things that the training world got excited about, then it turned into like every client was doing that and that's like, Every exercise, Dynadis. Yeah, every exercise was balancing on something and every trainer, every trainer, the way they were peacocking was who had the client that could do the weirdest, craziest, you know, trick is what it became. Start looking like a circus. It did.  You know what I'm saying? So you got attention. So people would, hey, I saw you doing that thing with your client. Like, what is that? And then you'd have the spiel, you'd break down the importance of it and it was an opportunity to sell more personal training. So it fed into that. So it was like, it was already this thing that we started to bastardize and then people were so curious about it because it was unique and different and new and so then trainers were selling on it more and then before you know it, it does look like a big ass circus act when you walk in the gym. But now I feel like then that fell out of favor then a lot of people came and mocked all that and then explained how ridiculous it is for most clients and, you know, there's a place for that but not that often and then now we've, we've readopted like, okay, listen, we're not going to throw it out completely. There's a place for it. There's a type of client for it. There's a type of time and a client's programming for it. And I feel like it's, it's balanced itself back out. That seems to be the way that the space goes, right? Something new is introduced. Then they, the argument is this is better than the old thing. Stop doing the old thing. Yeah.  Yeah, they go a little far. The old thing was good too. And then it becomes integrated, right? Like kettlebells when those first came out, then there was like the kettlebell only trainers. And then now, now everybody uses it. You couldn't do anything other than kettlebells. Yeah. Their opinion and just like, get out of here. Totally. But no, functional training is training in rotation laterally, using things like a sled and kettlebells and, you know, closed chain versus open chain moves. Carrying things. Carrying things, like all tons of value when you program it properly.  What I love about this is that gyms have opened up their floor spaces. Old gyms floor spaces were occupied. If you had empty floor space, that was a bad gym manager back in the day. Like, why do we have, what are we doing here? You lose the money. What's the space? Yeah. Fill it with a machine or something. Now gyms dedicate some room for people to do mobility and to have some turf. So it's pretty awesome. These are all changes that have been incredibly positive and I, because they work, because people are getting better results, I only see them moving more in the positive. I don't see these, what we just talked about are not trends. There's trends within them, but that's when people go extreme with them and don't understand that you integrate them and that they have a valuable role.

Welcome to part 2 of the Ascension of Isaiah. We're going to be reading chapters 3 through 6 today. And man oh man, are there some interesting things in chapters 3 through 6 of the Ascension of Isaiah. A bit like the Apocalypse of Abraham, I definitely, after pre-reading this before bringing it to you guys, I definitely see why the evil powers that be wanted to ban this book. They just gave away way too much for those of us who are awake and know what's going on in the world. It's pretty obvious what Isaiah was talking about in this missing book. As always, most of you know this is a recap from our Tuesday live videos on the Dark Outposts from 1 to 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. If you want to be a participant in that conversation on Tuesdays, then there is a link down in the description box where you can jump on to the Dark Outpost platform. We are also covering on that platform Michael and Debbie Pearl in the second hour we've been reading through to Train of a Child, which unfortunately is not something I can cover on this channel. Just because of the nature of the content, it would definitely cause some problems because there's a lot of A, B, U, S, E in that book. Alright, before we get started, there's something that I want to talk about that I really don't want to have to talk about, but I try to avoid having to talk about these things because my interest in moving forward in this great awakening and this new timeline, this age of Aquarius, is that we at this point, those of us who are on this channel, we absolutely understand now what has happened, what has gone on, and we've gone through that period of mourning, and now we are allowing the good guys, the military good guys to go and do what they need to do to bring vindication and justice to all of those that have been extremely hurt by the elite, the powers that be. I have to be careful about what I say because of censorship, but I think most of you guys know what I'm talking about.  I really have a profound respect for everybody in this community because we are all working together. In my opinion, that's what I have believed this whole time, is that we are all working together to help each other move forward and understand who we really are and what the truth of who we really are is. And through that, through that understanding that we have a more intact and purposeful relationship with God. Now as I've said on The Dark Outpost and on this channel, I'm good with God. I love God. I have a very, very fulfilling relationship with God. Because I'm firm in my relationship with God, all of these missing or banned books, all this new information that's coming up with the Jesus strand, with stuff that has been manipulated, to me is just super, super fascinating. It doesn't change anything about the way I view God because my belief in God isn't conditional on what the church taught me. My belief in relationship with God comes through my own experiences with God. And so for me, it's a very positive thing that we get to unravel some of these lies and that together we get to understand what the true story is. And it's deepened my relationship with the divine. It hasn't shaken anything. It hasn't taken anything away from me because again, as I said, I'm good with God. And I think God is good with me too. I feel very protected and very blessed by God. I feel a lot of love and a lot of joy from God. And again, part of this channel is to be able to spread that love and that joy and to uncover things but also have humor and community with each other. I don't really consider you guys just to be like subscribers to my channel. I consider you guys to be like on the battlefield with me. You are standing beside me as we try to correct, as we try to course correct everything that has been done. I understand that the fact that I practice yoga and my boyfriend and I run a yoga business is very triggering to a lot of fundamentalist Christians. I understand that because I love tarot card readings and all that kind of stuff and I am learning gematria that that's very triggering for fundamentalist Christians. But it is my opinion that fundamentalist Christianity is satanic. It's evil. And it's part of the problem. Along with the Catholic Church, along with all the Protestant churches, I know a lot of truthers do believe that the Catholic Church and all the little churches beneath it are the whore of Babylon mentioned in Revelation and I agree in my opinion, I believe that that is true. With that being said, I know things are not black and white, but there are many people within these congregations that are really good people, as Liz and I spoke about, as David and I have spoken about, who have been completely brainwashed. And my heart and my empathy and my compassion go out to them as they start to realize that everything they've been taught in their fundamentalist churches is satanic and is not of God. That every law and boundary they place on themselves through this faith is one that is meant to hurt people and control people and not free people, which in my opinion, God and Jesus are very, very free. With that being said, I understand that there are people out there that I've worked with in the past and that I've had nothing but respect for in the past that are out there saying some very defamatory things regarding those of us working on the Jesus strand and those of us working with Jomantria and tarot cards and all that kind of stuff. And my heart goes out to those people because I do believe that they are very heavily brainwashed and they're working from a place of fear and that's not where God lives. That's where Satan lives. And so with that being said, I stand in my faith. I am good with God and I feel very, very comfortable with everything I am working on and with all the people that I am working with. I love them as human beings. They are wonderful, wonderful people. And so my response to that is that in my opinion when you get on a show and you start calling other trufers or you start saying what other trufers are doing is demonic, that's defamatory.  And so I've had to cancel some shows that I was going to go on but I've had to step back because I have to protect myself and protect those that I love and care about being all the people that I've worked with on the Jesus strand with I consider all the people that I've worked with on the Jesus strand with and I continue to work with. Those are my friends now. We talk a lot and we're working on other projects together and I'm so incredibly, I feel just so blessed to have Sabrina Gall in my life and Toronto in my life and negative 48 in my life. Tom Numbers in my life. Liz from TikTok in my life. David Zublik, Tarou by Janine, Tamara, Prime Minister who has turned into like a brother to me. God, I love Prime Minister so, so, so much. Christy from YouTube. All these incredible people. All these people. I'm probably forgetting someone if I am. I apologize. All these people that I've mentioned, I consider them now like a lot of you. I consider a lot of you my friends now. I consider them my friends as well. And Sabrina Gall in Toronto are two women that I speak to now almost on a daily basis. I feel like they're my girlfriends. You know, and I feel just so blessed by God that these women came into my life because they're supposed to be in my life. I'm going to get emotional talking about this. It's the same thing with yoga. Yoga is not demonic. And in fact, all of the things that I've heard people say when they're arguing that it is demonic are all topics that they bring up that aren't even taught in yoga. It's not even a part of yoga. So I know when they say that they're spewing propaganda, which is dishonesty, which is lies, and God tells us not to lie, and they're lying. So I don't know if they're aware that they're doing that or if they're just promoting the fear, but there's that. And I get emotional because I know for a fact, I had a very spiritual experience that God is who brought me to India. And everything that's happened because of yoga has been such a profound and powerful, positively powerful part of my life. Through yoga, I met my boyfriend, who I consider to be my husband, even though we're not married by the federal government. We don't have the cabal involved in our marriage. We are married in the eyes of God is what I believe we are committed to each other like a married couple. It's allowed me to bring dogs back. I've rescued six dogs from India. One of the dogs that we have here, our dog Ravi, is just the love of my life. I love my dog so much. I see God in his eyes. It's allowed me to do humanitarian work in the slums of India and get first-hand experience of what happens to people in those poverty-based situations. Poverty like most of us in the West will never see and have never seen. And as my mama used to tell us growing up, to whom much is given, much is expected.  I also believe that it's pretty evil to sit there as a human being and condemn other people because they have different opinions from you and they're going on their own journey. No human being is more righteous than the other. No human being is in the position to be able to condemn another person because of their life choices. As Jesus said, ye who is without sin may cast the first stone. Also, as Jesus said, as Prime Minister has brought up, Jesus said, if they are not against me, then they are for me. Janine, my friend Janine Atero-Carviter, brought up a beautiful story in the dark outpost about how she saw Jesus. Jesus came to her in her room too, and she's a tarot card reader. This hate, this division that's coming from a very satanic fundamental place has got to stop. It's okay if you have a different opinion as somebody else, but what is not okay is when you start to condemn that person and defame that person's character because your beliefs have been challenged or triggered. When your beliefs are triggered, that's not anybody else's responsibility but yours to work out and figure out why.  I absolutely hate to disable the comments. The only times I ever disable the comments is if I'm worried because the guest and I have spoken about something that's pretty potent, and we want to keep the algorithms down for the powers that be on this platform to not notice if y'all know what I'm saying. And today I'm going to disable the comments down because the last week, I have been so attacked because of the words of one supposed whistleblower in this community. And that is not okay. I have watched people come in on my channel and attack other people in the comments section because they are spewing love for the things that we're doing on this channel, and so people come in and attack that person and try to condemn that person and condemn me, and that is not acceptable. And moving forward past this video, again, if you want to have a healthy conversation in the comments expressing opinions in a respectful way, that's totally fine. I encourage that. That's critical thinking skills. That's how we evolve and how we learn. But if you come on this channel and you try to condemn somebody's soul because they don't believe what you believe, then you will be blocked. No questions asked. You will be booted from this channel. I will not tolerate that. God did not step down and make you the holder, the keeper of everybody else's soul. Everybody else's relationship with God is a private, personal matter. I don't want to be involved in anybody else's relationship with God because that is your sacred relationship with your Creator. You are anointed. You are special in His eyes. In me, I should not be involved with that. Same goes for other people coming into my relationship with God. It's none of your business. I'm good with God. In this whole great awakening, we all have one common enemy. And these are people who are hurting other people. None of us are out there hurting other people the way that this elite group have done. They are the enemy, not each other. And if there are truthers out there that are trying to cause division amongst our community instead of unity, we can be unified even if we believe different things, which is how I have moved this channel forward. I know that there are people out there that have different opinions than I do, but I still do shows with them because that's what makes the world great. But when those people start to attack other people or send people out there to attack them, I start to question whether those people are actually on the side of light or of darkness. Anyway, sorry to vent. Again, I will have no comments on this video because I can't take it at this moment. Other videos moving forward will have the comments, but this is a warning. And I hate to even bring this up honestly because 99.9% of the people on this channel are the most lovely, beautiful, kind, gorgeous souls that I have the privilege of communicating with in the comic section. And I am so wonderfully grateful to all of you. You know who you are, who leave positive, beautiful comments, not just for me, but for the guests that I bring on this show as well. You, people that leave those beautiful, beautiful comments, you are the salt of the earth.  For those that come on this channel and want to condemn other people's soul, you are the one that has the problem, not the person you are condemning. Anyway, I'm sorry to get kind of heated about that, but it's really made me very emotional. I feel very protective of the work we do on this channel, and I don't just consider it me doing the work. You guys who listen to these podcasts and these videos, you are a part of this work as well. And normally, when I read from the missing books of the Bible, I love to go and see what you guys have to say because so many times, you guys have brought something to my attention that I missed when I was reading through these books, and I am grateful for that. This is a group effort. I might be the one researching. I might be the one narrating it, but you are involved as well. I say this in the comment section all the time to people, and I mean it. We are in this together. We're doing this project with the missing books of the Bible together. It's not just me doing it. It's not just David Zublik doing it with me. It's you guys as well. You are so much a part of this. And that's why I hate having to turn the comment section off on this one video, but it's just necessary for this video because I feel like the dark beings have now waged war on us through other quote-unquote truthers in this community, and that's just my opinion. And so I want to put that boundary up. Now with that being said, for my beautiful subscribers, the 99.9% of you who are lovely, lovely, wonderful people, I will put something on the community tab where you can leave your comments there so that we can have another discussion off of this video because I just don't want to attract any of the defectors that are trying to take us down to this video. With that being said, another note I want to bring up. With these people, these truthers that are defaming us out there because we're going through the missing books of the Bible or we're looking into the Jesus strand, here's the thing, and this is just common sense, we got to this place, we got to where we are involving the 1% the elite, the black hats, because we stopped critically thinking and because we stopped looking at things for ourselves. We got to this place of complacency where the leaders of the church or the leaders of the educational programs at the universities, at the medical facilities where we just took people's word for it. That in itself is a form of spell casting. And the fact that there are truthers that claim to be truthers, that claim to be whistleblowers, that claim to be all these things that say that it's like demonic for us to be reading these missing books of the Bible, it's not demonic to actually read anything. We're just reading through this material. And I've said this over and over and over again and I know we've said this on David's channel as well. We're not telling you that you have to believe that these books are legitimate or not. We just want to see what they say. Because by us not wanting to see what they say is how we got into the position that we're in now and the battle that we're having to go through now moving forward into our new earth, into the new timeline.  We have to all be informed. We have to all do our own research and we all have to stand in our sovereignty and have our own opinions. So when somebody gets on YouTube or on any other platform and claims to be a truther and claims to be this and claims to be that, but tells you not to read the missing books of the Bible, then they got another thing coming. Because that's where we got lost to begin with.  We handed over our power to the officials at our church. We handed over our power to the professors at the universities. We handed over our power to the government. Do not hand your power over. Your opinion on these books is your opinion. But your opinion can be very different from the action of reading the book. That's how you get an opinion is you actually look at the information. And I hope that makes sense. So again, moving forward, if anybody comments on these missing books of the Bible episodes that we're reading through that we're demonic because we're reading these books, you'll just get blocked. You'll get blocked. We're not going to have that happening on this channel. You can tell us in the comment section why you think this book is demonic and your reasoning can't be because so and so said so, I want you to give reasons, actual historical facts and information from the book itself to prove your case. Not because somebody else told you it was. I don't care what somebody else thinks. I care what you think. So again, moving forward, I just really hope that when we move into the new age, we'll be able to drop all this fear and really stand in our own sovereignty and our own light. All right. Okay. Now that that's over, let's move on to part two of the Ascension of Isaiah. This is chapters three through six. And once again, before I even get to that, again, thank you so much to the 99.9% of you who are just the loveliest people in the whole world. I feel really, I get really emotional about you guys because you guys are so awesome. Sorry. Y'all are just such awesome people.  I get people messaging me all the time and commenting, thanking me for doing this, for reading through these missing books of the Bible and for having this platform.  And because of the people on this platform that leave such amazing supportive comments and reading the comments that you guys, when you guys communicate with each other, even when I'm not involved in the conversation and I read those comments, my heart is so touched by the kindness that you guys have towards each other too. You are making a difference in this world, even if you don't know it, even if you're just, all you're doing is sitting at home and watching these videos and leaving comments here and there. Those comments, those positive, beautiful comments make such a difference.  And I thank you for supporting this platform and I thank you for being here with me on this journey. God bless you all. I pray for you all. I send love to you guys all every single day because where we go when we go all. All right. All right. Let me go clean my makeup up because I've got a little teary-eyed here and we'll get into the ascension of Isaiah. All right. So let's get started here on chapter three. So just a catch up now again, if this is your first time clicking on this video or this channel, welcome to the channel, but you might want to start with part one first. So you know a little bit about the back story of this book and the characters in this book and where we are in the story. Once more, a link to part one is down in the description box below. If you are on an iPhone or an iPad, you might have to hit the down arrow button that's right below the video screen in front of you. I know that on iPhone, sometimes the description box doesn't pop up like it does on a laptop or desktop. So just know you have to actually click the button to see everything in the description box. Where again, part one will be, you can just click on the button that links to part one. So you can listen to that one first as well as all the other past episodes, the past books of the Bible that we have read on the Dark Outpost. The playlist is the Dark Outpost playlist because that is the platform where we are reading through these books live. All right. So again, chapters one and chapters two of the ascension of Isaiah showed Isaiah speaking to King Hezekiah who was the good king about Isaiah's own future and basically Hezekiah's son Manasseh who when he would become king, because he's a prince now, when he would become king, he would be Isaiah's demise. He would be the one that would bring the kingdom of Judah back into the worship of Baal and Bolach, the Satanic deities, Luciferianism, and he would be after anybody who pushed worship of the true God, the God of light, the Almighty God. And Isaiah, being the prophet, same Isaiah from the book of Isaiah in the Bible, is also Manasseh's maternal grandfather. So Manasseh's mother is the daughter of the prophet Isaiah.  So there's that. All right, now where we are in this story, Isaiah has had to go into the mountains outside of Bethlehem with other prophets to basically hide from Manasseh and from the army of the government basically. And so that's where we are now. Now we know in Bethlehem there were some people who aren't good guys, right, that they really supported Manasseh and so kind of foreshadowing us to what's going to happen. So here we are with chapter three. And Belcheria recognized and saw the place of Isaiah and the prophets who were with him, for he dwelt in the region of Bethlehem and was an adherent of Manasseh. And he prophesized falsely in Jerusalem and many belonging to Jerusalem were confederate with him and he was a Samaritan. So I looked up Belcheria just to understand some of the Jewish folklore that we find here and some of these missing books of the Bible that would have been in the Old Testament, were the Ascension of Isaiah or what have been in the Old Testament. And Belcheria basically just is kind of the metaphor of a person who is like a middleman between humans and the underworld, if that makes sense. And it came to pass when Algar, Zagar, king of Assyria had come and captive and led them away to the mountains of the Meads in the river of Tezan. This Belcheria, whilst in a youth, had escaped and come to Jerusalem in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah. But he walked not in the ways of his father of Samaria for he feared Hezekiah. Of course he feared Hezekiah because Hezekiah was a good king. And this Belcheria, along with Manasseh and some of the false prophets are prophets of the underworld, the darkness. And he was found in the days of Hezekiah speaking words of lawlessness in Jerusalem. So lawlessness, I'm learning in a lot of these missing books of the Bible in the Old Testament, when they use the term lawlessness, it just means satanic stuff, basically. And I know that's weird because lawlessness could just typically mean like not following the law of the human world. But in these texts, it's pretty much meaning like he's following, lawlessness is like following satanic order. And the servants of Hezekiah accused him and he made his escape to the region of Bethlehem and they pursued. And Belcheria accused Isaiah and the prophets who were with him, saying Isaiah and those who are with him prophesy against Jerusalem and against the cities of Judah that they shall be laid to waste against the children of Judah and Benjamin also that they shall go into captivity and against the oh Lord the king that thou shalt go bound with hooks and with iron chains. So this is interesting. The first time I read this, this reminded me a lot of what we're seeing today in our own time in our own timeline with things like the media giving us kind of a gaslit story or narrative of the truth. Really twisting the story and this is what Belcheria is doing to Isaiah. He's basically twisting the story and projecting what Manassehia is actually doing on to Isaiah and making Isaiah's prophet the prophecies of Isaiah to be evil and scaring the people to then turn against Isaiah and these prophets. I hope that makes sense. And that is common throughout all these missing books in the Bible that we've covered and I know you guys have mentioned this too. There's so many similarities between what are in these missing books in the Bible and what we're actually seeing in our modern times. I've laughed and I've said they don't want us to see this this stuff. Alright, so this brings us to verse 7 and they prophesy falsely against Isaiah and Judah and Isaiah himself has said, I see more than Moses the prophet. Now for me as a Gentile not a person of Jewish descent I am learning a lot about this because we saw this in the Gospel of the Holy 12 where Jesus himself said I am I am I can't remember exactly how he said it but something like is not a greater one than Moses here. The walls of Moses this was a huge prophet to the Hebrew people and so now we've moved down the timeline from Moses and we're seeing these people like Isaiah, like Jesus himself that have more knowledge than Moses and it's kind of blasphemous from what I'm reading in these books for a Jewish person to say that to his fellow people. And that's interesting because I don't, as a Christian Gentile growing up Christian Gentile I would have never noticed that. So that's something super interesting and if you are of Jewish lineage or heritage I would love to know more about that like is that something that's still smoking about in synagogues and in temples just let me know, email me or hopefully when we get the comments back up again you can let me know as well because I'm super interested to learn more about that. I've been only to one I went to one Shabbat maybe I can't remember the proper terms with a friend once who was Jewish and that's the only time I've ever been to any type of of what we would call church but temple synagogue and it reminded me a lot of church like there's a lot of similarities between that service anyway and like the services I had as a kid growing up in a church so anyway, alright so this brings us to verse 9 but Moses said said no man can see God and live and Isaiah has said I have seen God and behold I live now therefore O King that he is lying and Jerusalem also he hath called Sodom and the princes of Judah and Jerusalem he hath declared to be the people of Gomorrah and he brought many accusations against Isaiah and the prophets before Manasseh now we've talked a lot about Sodom in some of these missing books of the bible from the Old Testament and we're seeing a very different story regarding Sodom and Gomorrah then we were taught from the cabal-owned church growing up the Sodom and Gomorrah the sexual activities that were happening there according to these missing books of the bible were not were not homosexual it was crimes against children in that respect that's all I can really say on YouTube but we know what that is because if you're on this channel you obviously understand exactly what happens in some of these rituals and that's what was happening in Sodom and Gomorrah so gives a very different perspective on the reality of the battle that we're fighting so verse 11 but Beliar dwelt in the heart of Manasseh and in the heart of the prince of Judah and Benjamin and of the eunuchs and of the counselors of the king so Beliar again is another word for Satan Satan has many names it's pretty unbelievable how many names Satan actually has in the words of Balcheria pleased him exceedingly and he sent and seized Isaiah for Beliar was great to wrath against Isaiah by reason of the vision and because of the exposure where with he had exposed Samuel which is another word for Satan and because through him the going forth of the beloved Isaiah at Isaiah excuse me the prophecy that Isaiah gave that's also in the Bible about the coming of Jesus and if you all remember from last week we talked about how confusing the book of Isaiah can be to read some of his prophecies are pretty confusing but something that Isaiah was really clear about was Jesus a lot of I guess at that time a lot of these prophets had knew there was a coming of a savior of a Messiah but I guess from what I understand they a lot of people thought it was going to be like an army like God's army coming down on earth but Isaiah was the only one to say that it was going to be one singular human being one singular man and throughout this work Isaiah recalls him recalls this vision by calling Jesus the beloved beloved with a capital B and so basically Beliar Satan is angry that Isaiah saw the vision and exposed the vision of Jesus and that was compromising Satan's power right so let's go ahead and start over again with verse 13 for Beliar was great wrath against Isaiah by reason of this vision and because of the exposure wherewith he had exposed Semi-L and because through him the going forth of the beloved from the seventh heaven had been made known and his transformation his with a capital H and his descent and the likeness into which he should be transformed that is the likeness of man and the persecution wherewith he should be persecuted and the torturers wherewith the children of Israel should torture him and the coming of his disciples and the teachings and that he should before the Sabbath be crucified upon the tree and should be crucified together with the wicked men and he shall be crucified with the sepulchre and those who were with him should be offended because of him and watch of those who watch the sepulchre so again Jesus is going to come to earth he's going to have all these disciples these people that are going to change literally change the trajectory of human consciousness and he was going to be basically crucified for this right and the descents of the angel of the Christian church which is in the heavens he will summon in of the last days and that Gabriel the angel of the Holy Spirit and Michael the chief of the holy angels in the third day will open the sepulchre which we know that happened in the bible and remember guys Isaiah lived what in the 700 BC so he lived many many hundreds of years before Jesus even came so for him he's prophesizing about things coming in the future for us this is the past so it's interesting you know our favorite military back channel 16 plus 1 always says future proofs past and that's something super interesting reading these missing books of the bible is that as I said just a few moments ago knowing what we know now we're able to read through these missing books of the bible and go ah okay I see I see now this is why they banned this book it wasn't for our protection they banned this book for their protection these books exposed them alright so verse 17 speaking of 16 plus 1 and the beloved sitting on their shoulders will come forth and send out his disciples and they will teach all the nations in every tongue of the resurrection of the beloved and those who believe in his cross shall be saved in his ascension into the seventh heaven whence he came and again I think I said this last week and I'll say this again I might repeat this multiple times so I apologize if I do there are a lot of similarities between the ascension of Isaiah and the apocalypse of Abraham which we read a couple of books ago a lot they talk a lot about seventh heaven the different firmament layers all that interesting interesting stuff alright and many who believe in him will speak through the Holy Spirit and many signs and wonders will be wrought in those days and afterwards on the eve of his approach his disciples were for sake the teaching of the apostles and their faith and their love and their purity so we actually saw that in the gospel of Judas if y'all remember the gospel of Judas was basically a gospel written a political piece written about the coming infiltration of the Christian church churches that these disciples which were the ones that basically had to leave they were fugitives so they had to come out of Israel and spread the gospel that their descendants hundreds and hundreds of years after them would end up being corrupted which is where we are now right like the Christian church is extremely dirty it's not really a church of God we know that the Christian church was infiltrated by Satanists so they even turned Jesus into a satanic God if you don't know what I'm referring to go back and listen to the videos of Constantine and what they did to kind of very much corrupt this Jesus that the real Jesus and yeah so anyway so let's go on to verse 22 and there will be much contention on the eve of his admin and his approach and in those days many will love office though devoid of wisdom so we're talking about the coming days with the Antichrist which is interesting because once again they're basically telling us future proofs past we're seeing this right now and there will be many lawless elders and shepherds dealing wrongly by their own sheep and they will ravage them owning to their not having holy shepherds and many will change the honor of the garments of the saints for the garments of the covetous and there will be much respect of persons in those days and lovers of the honor of this world and there will be much slander and vainglory at the approach of the Lord and the Holy Spirit will withdraw from many and there will not be in those days many prophets nor those who speak trustworthy words save one here in their and dire places on account of the spirit of error and fornication and of vainglory and of covetedness which shall be in those who will be called servants of that one and those who will receive that one and there will be great hatred in the shepherds and the elders towards each other for there will be great jealousy in the last days for everyone will say what is pleasing in his own eyes and they will make of none effect the prophecy of the prophets which were before me and these my visions also will they make of none effect in order to speak after the impulse of their own heart so we see that happening right we see people confusing feelings for facts we see a huge growth of narcissism of antisocial behavior I mean even with this whole debacle with smear campaigns on the Jesus strand we're not seeing people actually debate the information coming from a place of reason and calmness where they're giving their own research to counter things that we have found instead they're coming with their emotion and name calling which is impulse of their own heart so there we go Isaiah is saying it right here so chapter 4 and now Hezekiah and Joseph my son these are the days of the completion of the world so the end of time and we talked about this last week okay so when we talk about the completion of the world we're talking about the end of a specific contract that Lucifer had with God we see this contract in the canonized bible as well as the missing books of the bible so I've said this before I'll say it again because repetition is how we kind of learn and understand from my own understanding from my readings of these missing books and my own critical thinking skills and logic we know that when man fell from grace so whether you believe that was a literal story of Adam and Eve eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil or if that's a metaphor of man's it doesn't matter to me which one you believe the outcome is still the same when we had that consciousness when we ate and we received that information to understand good and evil there are consequences of understanding the more we understand something the more we have to live through the understanding of that said thing you can't know good you can't know God until you truly understand what evil is and so when man decided to fall from grace and take that bite of that apple or grape or whatever it was whatever happened where we had all the sudden the access to greater understanding God made a deal with Lucifer the fallen angel that he would be able to rule this earth this planet for a certain amount of time the fact that Lucifer was leading the charge on this planet for a certain amount of time gave us as men the opportunity to practice free will I understand that one of the things said about the missing books of the Bible was that if God wanted there all these books of the Bible to be in the Bible then they would be well that logic isn't in my opinion isn't logic at all because if you believe that if you believe that all the missing books in the Bible would be in the Bible or all the books in the Bible were put in the Bible by that logic then you're also saying all these crimes against children that we know have happened God wanted that too that you can't have it both ways like free will is free will and God allowed man to be corruptible so that we would learn and grow and that we would understand the choices that we're making I hope that makes sense you know I really hope that makes sense the Bible is corrupt it was corrupted by Constantine and changed different times and books pulled out and buried and if you carried some of these books back a long time ago then you could have been put to D E A T H for having these books not something Jesus would have ever done so we have to understand that but at the completion of the world so as we start off chapter 4 this idea of the days of the completion of the world means the end of the contract with Lucifer we call this in the Bible the book of Revelation the apocalypse the lifting of the veil so now God is vinging his view he's putting his wrath out on these satanists right now they're the ones going through the tribulation because they chose by free will they chose to participate in these services in these rituals that we know they participate in they made that choice you don't accidentally show up at Bohemian Grove and accidentally end up participating in these services no that is an actual conscious choice that you have made and so now those days are over so I hope that makes sense alright so he's talking about basically our time now so let's go to verse 2 after it is consumed so here we go again this is what I was just saying verse 2 after it was consummated the king of this world will descend who hath rolled it payment to being ye he will descend from his fireman in the likeness of man a lawless king the slayer of his mother who he himself even this king so he's talking about the antichrist now from what we understand the antichrist has already been taken out so that's something we don't have to worry about allegedly I don't really have an opinion on that I know where my heart belongs so I don't really have an opinion on the antichrist at this point but it's just very fascinating to hear some of these military insiders talk about that it's super fascinating well verse 3 will persecute the plant which the apostles of the beloved had planted of the apostles one will be delivered into his hands so one of that makes me believe that the antichrist is coming through the church basically which I think we kind of know that this ruler is the form of a king that will come and there will come and there will come with him the powers of this world he will park it under him and all that he desires and at his word the sun will rise at night and he will make the moon to appear at the sixth hour and all that he have desired he will do in the world he will do and speak like the beloved and he will say I am god before me there will be none you know it's interesting because we know a lot now about the moon and the sun and we're starting to figure out that we don't really know a whole lot about outer space because what we've been told is a load of BS so it's all a bunch so we're still starting trying to figure out what the sun actually is what the moon actually is what are the planets actually and a lot of people are starting to see two suns and that's wild it's wild you can find pictures actually last I checked Google had not taken down these pictures yet of people posting two suns like why are there two suns and we know that this this group of people think about Mr B-I-L-L-G-A-T-E-S and his trying to think I can say this because of YouTube the trails in the skies that are full of chemicals you know they're trying to block certain things out that we need here on this earth so it's interesting he's talking about that now I do have some information regarding something that happened at Notre Dame I don't know if I can talk about it I don't know when I heard that I was told to me over a phone call but I think gene decodes might have mentioned something about something that was going on at Notre Dame regarding the antichrist where they had taken possibly allegedly maybe taken some of the blood off of the crown of thorns that is supposed to be at Notre Dame and created a human body that from the DNA that resembled that of Jesus maybe and we're like going to do some ceremony but the white hats took it out anyway I don't know a whole lot about that not how much further I can say about that but what I will say is it was taken care of so you don't have to stretch you don't have to stress so anyway alright, verse 7 and all the people in the world will believe him and they will sacrifice to him and they will serve him saying this is the God and beside him there are no other and they great number of those who shall have been associated together in order to receive the beloved he will turn aside after him and there will be the power of miracles in every city and region and he will set up the image before him in every city okay this is super interesting and I'm just going to say this like we've talked about um before that you know the pictures that almost every church regardless of whether you're a Protestant Catholic, a Jehovah's Witness, a Mormon whatever any type of flavor of Christianity and their churches has pretty much the same picture of Jesus and we know that that's not Jesus that's Caesarea Borgia Caesarea Borgia was an actual person who lived he was one of the illegitimate sons of one of the popes the Borgias were very very very scandalous family I think Showtime did a whole series on the Borgias and if you are family is there's enough there for Showtime or HBO to create a whole series over your family you know you come from a pretty screwed up family because man they were very corrupt the Borgias well the legend goes, the story goes that Caesarea Borgia was in a relationship with DaVinci and DaVinci painted his portrait and that was the portrait that we now pass around in churches and say Jesus now why would they do that this goes back to Operation Bluebeam when it was first set up they were going to put a hologram in the sky of Jesus coming down which would be their their kind of their antichrist right which kind of goes back to the whole thing I was saying about the thing at Notre Dame with the DNA and all that kind of stuff they were going to try to make it look like their version of Jesus so that we would have been indoctrinated through this seeing this picture everywhere but that's what Jesus looked like and so it's interesting that he said he will set up his image before him in every city because we know that the dark arts have actually done that that has actually happened is this long after Isaiah lived that Caesarea Borgia was around alright verse 12 and he shall bear sway three years and seven months and 27 days and many believers and saints having seen him for whom they are hoping who was crucified Jesus the Lord Christ after that Isaiah had seen him who was crucified and ascended and those who were believers in him of these few in those days will be left as his servants while they flee from desert to desert awaiting the coming of the beloved so people would know that that wasn't the real guys basically what they were saying and look at that look here we are we know we're on to you we actually understand what's going on you know but we know there are a lot of Christians out there that don't understand what's going on we know there are a lot of Christians out there that are getting the cure right now and the cure hello like you don't need to be a genius to know that the cure that's out there quote unquote the cure um has every single thing about the mark of the beast it's like prophecy is playing itself out so alright verse 14 and after 1332 days the Lord will come his angels and with their armies of the holy ones from the seventh heaven with glory of the seventh heaven and he will drag Beliar into Jihanna and also his armies we talked about Jihanna last week it's kind of like a holding cell for bad people um and he will give the rest of the godly whom he shall find in one body in this world and the son will be excuse me and the son will be ashamed so yeah we know that people who are duped right now and are following the you know the illness that they have put out that we know is actually doesn't isn't even something that stands on its own it's not even real um it's you know it's not what they're saying it is those people that are kind of following that fake illusionary uh delusional narrative um we know we've been told that once everything comes out that they're going to be very ashamed that they actually fell for this so it's interesting that it's it's it's saying that right here in the Ascension of Isaiah and to all because of their faith in him have excrated Beliar and his kings for the saints will come with the lord with their garments which are now stored up on the high in the seventh heaven with the lord they will come whose spirits are clothed they will descend and be present in the world and he will strengthen those who have been found in the body together with the saints with the garments of the saints and the lord will minister to those who have kept watch in this world and afterwards they will turn themselves upward in their garments and their body will be left in the world and so okay that's that's the rapture right and we've talked about the rapture that the rapture we're not going to freak and float up in the sky and a spaceship is not going to come pick us up like that's not the rapture if you understand what's going on right now if you're awake if you've been quote-unquote red-pilled then congratulations you've been raptured you know you understand what's actually going on where maybe your best friend or your husband or your wife or your family doesn't still believe the BS that is in the illusionary world of the matrix so alright verse 18 then the voice of the beloved will and wrath rebuke the things of heaven and things of earth and the things of earth and the mountains and the hills and the cities and the deserts and the forest and the angels of the sun and that of the moon and all the things wherein Beliar manifested himself and acted openly in his world and there will be a resurrection and a judgment and they're missed in those days aka tribunals we know they're happening military tribunals and the beloved will cause fire to go forth from him and it will consume all the godless and they will be thought they had not and it will be as though they had not been created so fire it's interesting you talk about fire cause fire is something that I've spoken a lot about in yoga and I know Shantel over on Aquarius Rising we've talked about the Agni, the Agni the fire, the god said it would be light divine light fire is actually very purifying that's why in traditional yoga you're supposed to sweat a lot not like hot yoga hot yoga is not traditional yoga I'm talking about actual you creating your own body heat through exercise and action as Cindy said that Shakti of work right cause that fire is what purifies things not just the body but it can also purify the mind that's we talked about like sometimes when you get a fever it's your body upgrading itself if you missed that video I will also link that video down in the description box below and the rest of the words of the vision is written in the vision of Babylon and the rest of the vision regarding the Lord behold it is written in three parables according to my word which are written in the book which I publicly prophesied and the descent of the beloved into Shiel which is hell behold it is written in the section where the Lord says behold my son will understand and all these things behold they are written in the Psalms in the parables of David the son of Jesse and the Proverbs of Solomon his son and the words of Korah and Ethan the Israelite and the words of Asfa and in the rest of the Psalms which the angel of the spirit inspired okay so some of those people I don't know who they are I don't know who Ethan the Israelite is or Korah or Asfa and I think we said this last week you know there are 711 books that are missing from the Bible we only have out of all those 711 books we've only found about 45 of them so and some of those books as you know are not complete because the pages were deteriorated all that kind of stuff so if you think about that there are so many books that we have not been privy to there are probably countless people and characters from the Old Testament and the New Testament that were prominent prophets that we just have no idea who they are because we weren't given that information so you know the fact there are some names here that I don't know doesn't surprise me anyway alright verse 22 namely in those which have not the name written in the words of my father Amos and Hosea the prophet and Micah and Joel and then Hun and Jonah and Obadiah and Habuk and Haggai and Malachi and the words of Joseph the just and the words of Daniel so this brings this chapter 5 on account of these visions therefore Belair was Roth with Isaiah and he dwelt in the heart of Manasseh and he sowed him in Sunder with a wooden saw so again we talked about the last week you can kind of cross reference this to a verse in Hebrews about how Isaiah passed and when Isaiah was being sown in Sunder Belcheria stood up accusing him and all the false prophets stood up laughing and rejoicing because of Isaiah Belcheria with the name of Metch and Bechos I don't know who that is that's M-E-C-H-E-M-B-E-C-H-U-S stood up beside stood up before Isaiah excuse me laughing deriding and Belcheria said to Isaiah say I have lived in all and I have spoken and likewise the ways of Manasseh are good and right and the ways also Belcheria of his associates are good and this he said to him when he began to sow in Sunder but Isaiah was absorbed in the vision of the Lord and through his eyes were open he saw them not and Belcheria spoke thus to Isaiah say what I say unto thee and I will turn their hearts and I will compel Manasseh and the Prince of Judah and the people in all Jerusalem to reverence thee so this is interesting okay guys so this is again we're kind of seeing this paralleled here today so I'm going to see excuse me Isaiah is going through probably one of the most horrific things to experience the way that he is being removed from the earth plane I love I love the words that Janine picks because of the other words are censored so he's being removed from the earth plane right now against his will in a very horrific way he's being cut into and there these people these false prophets while this torture is happening they're saying to him if you just basically say that we're good the good guys and Manasseh is the good guys and what we're doing are good we'll stop this from happening and we'll have people actually respect you now even though we're not going through the same type of pain as Isaiah here we kind of seen that in our own lives like if you just put that thing over your mouth like I can't if I can say it on YouTube you know I'm talking about just live just do it just go along with it and everything will be okay but here we have Isaiah he's actually seeing a vision of the Lord while this is happening to him so he's able to kind of focus on God and not pay attention to everything else going on around him which I think a lot of us have had to do in our own way so just keep our eye on the prize right focus on the good focus on the right the just while going through hell and back basically so that brings us to verse 9 and Isaiah answered and said so far I have utterance I say damned and accused be thou and thy powers and all by how so he's basically saying FU putting the little finger up at them for thou can us not take from me ought to save the skin of my body and they seized and sold and sender Isaiah the son of Amos with the wooden saw and menacea and Belchiri and the false prophets and the prince and the people and all stood looking on and the prophets who were with them he said before he had been sown and sender go ye to the region of Tyre and sedan for me only hath God mingled the cup and when Isaiah was being sown and sender he neither cried a loud nor wept but his lips spake with the Holy Spirit until he saw entwain this spellier did to Isaiah through Belchiri and manacea for Samuel was very wrathful against Isaiah from the days of Hezekiah king of Judah on account of the things that he had seen regarding the beloved and on account of the destruction of Samuel which he had seen through the Lord while Hezekiah his father was still king and he did according to the will of Satan so this brings his chapter 6 this is the last chapter that we're going to read today the vision which Isaiah the son of Amos saw in the 20th year of the reign of Hezekiah king of Judah came Isaiah the son of Amos and Joseph the son of Isaiah to Hezekiah to Jerusalem from Galgala and having entered he sat down on account of the king and they brought him a seat but he would not sit there on when Isaiah began to speak the words and truth with king Hezekiah all the princes of Israel were seated and the eunuchs and the counselors of kings and there were 40 prophets and sons of the prophets they all had come from villages and from mountains and the plains when they had heard that Isaiah was coming from Galgala to Hezekiah and they had come to salute him and to hear his words and that he might place his hands upon them and that they might prophesize and that he might prophesize and they were all before Isaiah and when Isaiah was speaking to Hezekiah the words of truth and faith they all heard a door which one had open in the voice of the Holy Spirit and the king summoned all the prophets and all the people who were found there and they came and Micaiah and the aged Annias and Joel and Joseph sat on his right and on the left and it came to pass when they had all heard the voice of the Holy Spirit and he looked on their knees and glorified the God of truth the most high who is in the upper world and who sits on the high and holy one and who rest among his holy ones and they gave glory to him who had thus bestowed a door in an alien world that bestowed it to a man and he was speaking in the Holy Spirit in the hearing of all he became silent and his mind was taken up from him and he saw not the men that stood before him through his eyes indeed were open and silent and the mind in his body was taken up from him but his breath was in him for he was seeing a vision and the angel who had sent to make him see was not of this firmament nor was he the angel of glory of this world but he had come from the seventh heaven and the people who stood near did not think but the circle of the prophets did and the Holy Isaiah had been taken up and the vision which the Holy Isaiah saw was not from this world which is hidden from the flesh and after Isaiah had seen this vision he narrated it to Hezekiah and to Joseph his son and to the other prophets who had come but the leaders and the eunuchs and the people did not hear but only Sama described in Ijogan that's I-J-O-A Q-E-M I have no idea how to say that and asked father recorder for these also were doers of righteousness and the sweet small the spirit was upon them but the people who had not heard for Micaiah and Joseph his son had caused them to go forth when the wisdom of this world had been taken from him and he had become as one dead alright so that ends chapter six we will pick up next week with chapter seven again thank you so much guys for all of
