When actor Jim Caviezel was asked about the battle of good versus evil in America, the Passion of the Christ star’s response was coined a “mic-drop moment” by Fox News host Dan Bongino, who “got goosebumps” and said it was one of the “most powerful” answers he has heard in a long time.
It’s not often that Dan Bongino is speechless, but that’s exactly what happened when he heard Jim Caviezel’s impassioned response to questions asked by Fox News host Pete Hegseth. Bongino, who has enjoyed a rise in popularity with his Saturday night Fox News show, boasts 4.9 million followers on Facebook.
The former Secret Service agent was so blown away by Caviezel’s impromptu speech, he introduced the clip to his Facebook following with his own personal thoughts. “About three-quarters of the way through the interview, Jim Caviezel was asked by Pete Hegseth about a famous speech by Ronald Reagan: ‘A Time for Choosing,’” Bongino said. “And Caviezel gave, I’m getting goosebumps just now talking about it, Caviezel gave one of the most powerful answers I’ve heard on TV in a long time.”
After Bongino showed the clip, he related how he and his wife reacted. “Paula and I were sitting there in our kitchen, we were cooking for our kids, and we just both looked at each other,” the radio host said. “Like, I couldn’t have said that better if I spent six months planning that out in a speech. Folks, this fight is coming…for all of you.” Bongino is referring to the fight between good and evil in America, and how that tied into Caviezel’s “mic drop” moment.
“What can Americans learn from Ronald Reagan, what are your thoughts on that at this moment in time?” Pete Hegseth asked Jim Caviezel. “Let’s set the record straight,” the actor began. “There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace – and you can have it in the next second – surrender.” But, then the Thin Red Line star went on to explain the problem with surrendering.
“Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement,” Caviezel said. “And this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face – that their policy of accommodation is appeasement and it gives us no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate — continue to back and retreat — eventually, we will have to face the final demand, the final ultimatum, and what then?”
The Count of Monte Cristo star’s impromptu speech continued. “When Satan has told the people of this world he knows what our answer is going to be,” Caviezel said. “He has told us that we are retreating under the pressure of his cold war, and someday, when the time is right to deliver his final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because, you see, by then we will have been so weakened from within spiritually, morally, economically,” he furthered. “He believes this because from our side he’s heard voices pleading for peace at any price or ‘better Red than dead,’ or as one commentator put it, he would rather ‘live on his knees than die on his feet’ and therein lies the road to war because those voices do not speak for the rest of us.”
“You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery,” Caviezel said. “If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin – just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the Pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have refused to fire the shot heard around the world?”
Rebuking Christian fence-sitters, Caviezel went on. “The martyrs of history were not fools, and our beloved dead, who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis, did not die in vain,” Caviezel declared. “Where then lies the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all. You and I have the courage to tell our enemies, ‘There is a price we will not pay.’ There is a point beyond which evil must not advance. In the words of Reagan, ‘evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.’”
One Facebook user, Russell LeCompte, reacted to the clip. “That was incredible. Immediately fired up, his clear and pure energy, through his conviction was more than inspiring. That response can and probably has changed lives,” he wrote. Others agreed. “Oh my God, he is absolutely spot on,” Facebook user Barbara Allen Krick wrote. “We can not let evil win we have to stay strong! Thank you Jim Caviezel for reminding us of that.. God Bless you!”
Ronald Reagan also spoke about this battle of good versus evil. “I have spent most of my life as a Democrat,” Regan said. “I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines… You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.” This “time for choosing” is something we cannot escape. Americans of faith have been called upon to pray throughout the history of our great nation so we do not, as a country, lose what our Founding Fathers fought so dearly for — freedom from persecution and liberty for all.
I could not agree more on this conversation! For if the road to peace and freedom of mankind shall lay a cross upon those who choose to lay their lives down, so be it! We are free from the first breath we take in life and have the right to choose our paths and under no circumstances should we be led to our knees from evil. I will stand and hold a line with others against the hatred and evils of this world until I can no longer.
Such powerful words from such a soft-spoken man…how can you NOT listen and heed!?
I would say Jim gained more than a role when he played Christ in The Passion. Perhaps stepping into the shoes of Christ for a moment in time helped form his true faith. Jim, you will surely hear one day “well done my good and faithful servant”. God bless you.
Last night the crowd broke out singing the National Anthem at Trump’s Texas rally at 9:01 pm to honor all the January 6 political prisoners being illegally held in a D.C. prison who sang our National Anthem each morning at 9:00 am. How cool is that?
Wow, this post is pleasant, my sister is analyzing these things, so I am going to inform her.
Usually I don’t learn post on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do so! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, quite great article.
Thanks for the ideas you share through this blog. In addition, a lot of young women which become pregnant never even attempt to get medical insurance because they dread they won’t qualify. Although many states at this point require that insurers produce coverage no matter what about the pre-existing conditions. Premiums on these types of guaranteed programs are usually higher, but when taking into consideration the high cost of medical care bills it may be a new safer approach to take to protect your financial potential.
Should have thought of that before they got pregnant (except in the case of rape, obviously).
Together with every little thing that appears to be developing inside this subject matter, many of your points of view tend to be very refreshing. Nonetheless, I am sorry, because I can not subscribe to your whole theory, all be it refreshing none the less. It would seem to us that your opinions are actually not totally justified and in simple fact you are yourself not really totally confident of the argument. In any event I did appreciate reading it.
An fascinating discussion is worth comment. I think that you must write extra on this subject, it won’t be a taboo topic however typically people are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
WHY? 🙂
Howdy would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a fair price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!
I like what you guys are up also. Such clever work and reporting! Keep up the excellent works guys I have incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it’ll improve the value of my site 🙂
I am also commenting to make you understand of the wonderful experience my wife’s child experienced going through yuor web blog. She learned a wide variety of things, including how it is like to possess a wonderful teaching spirit to get most people quite simply grasp several grueling issues. You actually did more than my desires. Many thanks for imparting these warm and helpful, healthy, educational and as well as easy guidance on that topic to Julie.
One thing I’ve noticed is always that there are plenty of beliefs regarding the banks intentions when talking about foreclosed. One fable in particular is the fact the bank needs to have your house. The lender wants your money, not the home. They want the money they gave you having interest. Preventing the bank will simply draw a foreclosed conclusion. Thanks for your posting.
Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it. Look advanced to more added agreeable from you! By the way, how can we communicate?
Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results. If you know of any please share. Thank you!
Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
I have read some excellent stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot attempt you place to make this type of wonderful informative website.
Whether you believe in God or not, this is a must-read message!!!
Throughout time, we can see how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that the Bible foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?
In Revelation 13:16-18, we read,
“He (the false prophet who decieves many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!
These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one “OR” the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate only in one place.
This is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implatnable RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip
“Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).
Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.
Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.
Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip.”
Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation says:
“And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).
You can read more about it here–and to also understand the mystery behind the number 666: https://2ruth.org/rfid-mark-of-the-beast-666-revealed/
The third angel’s warning in Revelation 14:9-11 states,
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.'”
Who is Barack Obama, and why is he still in the public scene?
So what’s in the name? The meaning of someone’s name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface.
Jesus says in Luke 10:18, “…I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
The Hebrew Strongs word (H1299) for “lightning”: “bârâq” (baw-rawk)
In Isaiah chapter 14, verse 14, we read about Lucifer (Satan) saying in his heart:
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.”
In the verses in Isaiah that refer directly to Lucifer, several times it mentions him falling from the heights or the heavens. The Hebrew word for the heights or heavens used here is Hebrew Strongs 1116: “bamah”–Pronounced (bam-maw’)
In Hebrew, the letter “Waw” or “Vav” is often transliterated as a “U” or “O,” and it is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together. So to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Baraq) and a high place like heaven or the heights of heaven (Bam-Maw), the letter “U” or “O” would be used. So, Baraq “O” Bam-Maw or Baraq “U” Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah, would translate literally to “Lightning from the heights.” The word “Satan” in Hebrew is a direct translation, therefore “Satan.”
So when Jesus told His disciples in Luke 10:18 that He beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven, if this were to be spoken by a Jewish Rabbi today influenced by the poetry in the book of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew–the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 as, And I saw Satan as Baraq O Bam-Maw.
The names of both of Obama’s daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we were to write those names backward (the devil does things in reverse) we would get “ailam ahsatan”. Now if we remove the letters that spell “Alah” (Allah being the false god of Islam), we get “I am Satan”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Obama’s campaign logo when he ran in 2008 was a sun over the horizon in the west, with the landscape as the flag of the United States. In Islam, they have their own messiah that they are waiting for called the 12th Imam, or the Mahdi (the Antichrist of the Bible), and one prophecy concerning this man’s appearance is the sun rising in the west.
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.'” (Revelation 14:6-7)
Why have the word’s of Jesus in His Gospel accounts regarding His death, burial, and resurrection, been translated into over 3,000 languages, and nothing comes close? The same God who formed the heavens and earth that draws all people to Him through His creation, likewise has sent His Word to the ends of the earth so that we may come to personally know Him to be saved in spirit and in truth through His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus stands alone among the other religions that say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into reality?
Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good that we have done, but rather by the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?
God has brought down His moral laws through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Siani. These laws were not given so we may be justified, but rather that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God’s character of what He has put in each and every one of us, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, murder, and so forth.
We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh about 2,000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill.
The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood.
For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.
This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all perish to hell forever. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades but was raised and seated at the right hand of God in power.
So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death–now being conformed into the image of the heavenly man in a new nature, and no longer in the image of the fallen man Adam.
Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins, and to receive His Holy Spirit that we may be born again (for Jesus says we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God–John chapter 3). This is not just head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him in obedience to His Word by reading the Bible.
Our works cannot save us, but they can condemn us; it is not that we earn our way into everlasting life, but that we obey our Lord Jesus Christ:
“And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (Hebrews 5:9)
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’
Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’
And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'” (Revelation 21:1-8).
Picture this – 3 am in the morning, I had a line of fiends stretched around the corner of my block. It was in the freezing middle of January but they had camped out all night, jumping-ready to buy like there was a sale on Jordans. If you were 16 years old, in my shoes, you’d do anything to survive, right? I got good news though; I MADE IT OUT OF THE HOOD, with nothing but a laptop and an internet connection. I’m not special or lucky in any way. If I, as a convicted felon that used to scream “Free Harlem” around my block until my throat was sore, could find a way to generate a stable, consistent, reliable income online, ANYONE can! If you’re interested in legitimate, stress-free side hustles that can bring in $3,500/week, I set up a site you can use: https://incomecommunity.com
How can I find out more about it?
One more thing. It’s my opinion that there are several travel insurance sites of reputable companies that permit you to enter your trip details and obtain you the estimates. You can also purchase the international travel insurance policy on the net by using your own credit card. All that you should do is usually to enter all travel details and you can understand the plans side-by-side. You only need to find the package that suits your allowance and needs and after that use your credit card to buy it. Travel insurance on the internet is a good way to start looking for a reputable company regarding international travel insurance. Thanks for expressing your ideas.
Thank you for sharing your expertise! I’ve had excellent results using the strategies from your post alongside the automated email strategies from advo.ninja .
I have noticed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate managers, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate purchase, a commission is paid. In the long run, FSBO sellers tend not to “save” the commission payment. Rather, they fight to win the commission by simply doing a great agent’s occupation. In completing this task, they shell out their money and time to execute, as best they’re able to, the tasks of an agent. Those assignments include getting known the home by way of marketing, showing the home to prospective buyers, creating a sense of buyer desperation in order to prompt an offer, booking home inspections, controlling qualification check ups with the loan provider, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing of the deal.
