Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Schmidt

Dr. Richard Schmidt is the pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He's the speaker on the weekly TV program, "Prophecy Focus" and the radio broadcast, "Prophecy Unfolding." He spent 32 years in law enforcement until his retirement.

Newsmax reported yesterday that President Trump abruptly left the G7 meeting in Canada last week due to Iran telling the U.S. that it was going to activate its terrorist proxies on U.S. soil. Then on Saturday evening the U.S. military, in stealth fashion, flew B-2 bombers in order to strike 3 Iranian nuclear facilities. President Trump followed up by communicating that Iran should surrender unconditionally. In response, Iran not only fired upon Israel but also upon U.S. interests in Qatar. Afterward, a cease-fire was announced, only to have Israel and Iran fire upon each other again. Back on the homefront, there was a vote in Congress to take up articles of impeachment against President Trump. A strong bipartisan effort to table these articles was held this morning. 128 Democrats joined Republicans to kill the effort. So, as our title asks, is the cease-fire on or off? Are the Iranian sleeper cells we've been hearing about a real threat? Will Iran close off the Strait of Hormuz? Was Iran able to successfully have at least some of the enriched uranium removed prior to the U.S. bunker-buster bomb attack?

Imagine having a digital implant in your brain that would replace your smartphone, allowing you to place a phone call or bring up internet information just by thought. There's digital tattoos that can track your health or physical location. Then there's augmented reality glasses, glasses that also take the place of a smartphone. This is not science fiction. It's where we're headed as artificial intelligence continues to advance at a rapid pace. Some of the big names involved in this effort are the tech giants that include Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Sam Altman. As Dr. Schmidt noted, these men have no guarantee of eternal life, therefore they feel man must become immortal. Biblically speaking, that won't happen but their attempts will have consequences. Review this broadcast as Jim and Dr. Schmidt discuss related topics such as AI and surveillance, China's cyber terrorism goals, digital Social Security cards, relationships with AI images and more.

Anti-Semitic horror reared its ugly head last night in Washington DC. A Jewish couple who were planning to be engaged in Jerusalem next week were on the staff of the Israeli embassy. The couple had just left the Capital Jewish Museum when the suspect approached them. They were shot and killed. The suspect yelled, "Free, Free Palestine!" According to a witness he reportedly also said, "I did it. I did this for Gaza." The FBI calls this an act of terror.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day where we remember that very dark time in world history known as the Holocaust where approximately 6 million Jews were killed by Hitler and his Nazi regime. To help listeners maintain a balanced, biblical view on this subject, Crosstalk welcomed back Dr. Richard Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church, and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He's the speaker on the weekly TV program, "Prophecy Focus" and the radio broadcast, "Prophecy Unfolding."According to Dr. Schmidt, if we go back to Genesis we see Abraham had a son named Isaac. Isaac, in turn, had a son named Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. This is the foundation of who the Jewish people are. God called them his chosen/covenant people. Then in the (unconditional) Abrahamic Covenant God said that he would bless those who bless the Jewish people and curse those who curse them. This is still in effect today and will continue that way through the prophetic future.Moving up the timeline, what were the events that led to the Holocaust? Why were the Jews targeted by Hitler? Was Martin Luther an antisemite? What is supersessionism? What made Hitler's form of nationalism unique? What was Hitler's "Final Solution"? These and other questions are answered by Dr. Schmidt and callers had their opportunity to weigh-in on the subject as well.

He has authored several books including Are You Going to a Better Place?, Daniel's Gap Paul's Mystery, Tribulation to Triumph: The Olivet Discourse, Globalism: The Great World Consumption, Artificial Intelligence: Transhumanism & the De-Evolution of Democracy and now has transcribed & expanded lectures delivered by Dr. Jimmy DeYoung titled Presidents, Politics & Prophecy.We firmly believe that God is sovereign over the affairs of men. God uses human government to accomplish His plan and His purpose. The prophet Daniel proclaimed, "And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:" Proverbs 21:1 reads, "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it withersoever he will." Just as God worked through the kings in Israel, so also God works through the leaders of human government in countries around the world including the Presidents of the United States.Now concerning Israel from its inception as a nation, the United States has had a significant impact upon her. While some Presidents have shown unwavering support for Israel, others have been more reluctant. We'll unfold that today.One of the enthusiastic speakers on Bible prophecy who addressed issues like this was Dr. Jimmy DeYoung who went home to be with the Lord in August, 2021.

He has authored several books including: Are You Going to a Better Place and Artificial Intelligence: Transhumanism.As you'll discover on this broadcast, the development and proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is moving at breakneck speed. Now President Trump has announced the Stargate Initiative while China has released the AI app called DeepSeek. DeepSeek has been downloaded by millions despite concerns that information it collects is going back to China. President Trump's Stargate Initiative is said to be the largest AI infrastructure project in history costing 500 billion dollars. Larry Ellison, co-founder and executive chairman of Oracle, has indicated that the 20 massive data banks that will be part of the project will deal with some positive outcomes including curing cancer and other diseases. What's of concern is all of the data that will be put into the system. Dr. Schmidt noted that Ellison wants to get everyone's medical or financial information and let computers do what doctors and economists used to do. Is this setting the stage for the infrastructure that the Antichrist will use during the tribulation period? Should we be concerned that while there will be some positive outcomes from this that President Trump may not completely understand where all this is headed?

Yesterday, tragedy unfolded at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. A phone call to 9-1-1 was placed by a 2nd grade teacher to report a shooting taking place after school. After officers arrived, the shooter was located as well as the weapon that was also used to administer a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A teacher and another student were pronounced dead at the scene while six others were injured.Joining Jim to discuss this rising trend was Dr. Richard Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church, and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He's the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding. He spent 32 years in law enforcement.Dr. Schmidt began by noting something he learned from working with former Sheriff David Clarke. It's the idea that first facts are usually no facts at all. In other words, the things that first come through the media are often wrong. For example, it was originally reported that a second grade student was the one who called 9-1-1 when as noted earlier, it was a teacher that made the call. Dr. Schmidt indicated that a house has already been searched and everything that can be gleaned about the alleged shooter will be looked into. Interviews with students, parents and teachers will need to take place along with other duties that make up a very time consuming investigation. The idea is to avoid speculation and the spreading of false information.There've been 320 school shootings this year, so this broadcast looks not only at the public safety aspects but also the spiritual aspects.

It sounds ridiculous until you realize these individuals don't believe in a biblical worldview, therefore they want to find immortality, omniscience and omnipotence through technology. At the same time they seek to de-throne the one true God of the Bible as Satan sought to do.--So what is artificial intelligence-- ChatBox, which many people use, is one example. When people use this to buy a particular product, in the corner of the screen, a little box might pop up trying to engage you in conversation.

It was called Israel's 9-11. It was the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust. The barbaric slaughter of men, women and children turned the stomach of the world as Hamas carried out their rampage. --In response, the prime minister of Israel declared war. It was the first time that the Israeli Security Cabinet voted to go to war against an enemy since the Yom Kippur War of 1973.--Attacks have continued against Israel from Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Even this morning, one year later, alarms sounded once again as Hamas launched a missile barrage against central Israel. Then, in the face of all this, anti-Israel rallies have been staged blaming Israel for causing the attack against itself on October 7th. U.N. resolutions have come against Israel and now nations are threatening an arms embargo against them.

Dr. Richard Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries.Tony Kinnett is an investigative columnist with the Daily Signal and a former award-winning teacher and administrator.Tony kicked things off with commentary from Chicago as he brought listeners a better picture as to what's really occurring at the convention vs. what he referred to as social media hubbub.He described how the perimeter was pierced and there's been chaos at particular times and he's not sure that it will calm down before the end of the week. What surprised him the most is that the Chicago police aren't coddling protesters, many of whom have been pro-Palestinian. As of broadcast time, accurate arrest numbers were not available.Tony described the convention as a pep rally whose strategy, "...is to amp up everyone in the Democratic base on good vibes and feelings while trying to portray a unity message as well as an outsider candidate message." Overall, between the two conventions he sees a far greater discipline on the Republican side and a far greater emotionalism on the Democrat side that hasn't been targeted in a specific point of usefulness. Dr. Schmidt then followed with comments that focused on audio clips from Michelle Obama's speech dealing with hope and unity. In one clip she referred to the opposition as she mentioned the banning of books, in-vitro fertilization, shutting down the Department of Education, supposedly demonizing children for who they are and other points that as Dr. Schmidt noted simply didn't communicate a unifying message.

A doctor was able to stop crippling gout that haunted him for years within a matter of weeks. The painful flare-ups vanished quickly and never returned.   What changed for Dr. Richard Schmidt? He began focusing on different protein sources than he was used to. While he never ate heavily processed junk food, his diet did feature what he considered to be healthy sources of protein such as fish and lean meats.   He decided to eliminate them after discovering research showing their ties to inflammatory gout attacks. He now focuses exclusively on plant-based protein sources and has never looked back.   It is a remarkable turnaround for someone who once needed a wheelchair because the gout flare-ups had become so extreme.   Dr. Schmidt is a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist based in Mountain View, Calif. He also serves on the President's Council of the Physicians Committee.   On This Episode - What causes gout? - How gout is treated - What wasn't working for Dr. Schmidt - Top triggers for gout - Best foods for gout - Dr. Schmidt's fateful trip to Japan - How quickly his symptoms improved after eliminating meat and dairy - Dr. Schmidt's new outlook on life - The need for more research on treating gout with dietary changes - And more!   — — OUR FRIENDS — — Dr. Richard Schmidt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantpowereddoctor — — RESOURCES — — Protein Sources and Risk Study https://bit.ly/GoutProteinStudy — — — Gout Diet Study https://bit.ly/GoutDietStudy2023 — — — Gout Q&A with Dr. Neal Barnard Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz75VxVfkcY — — EVENTS — — The Power Foods Revolution
