In this It’s Supernatural! Classic episode from 1999: Steve Lightle was supernaturally pinned to the floor for six and a half days while God showed him future events that will impact this world.
SID: STEVE LIGHTLE WAS
SUPERNATURALLY PINNED TO
THE FLOOR FOR 6-1/2 DAYS,
WHILE GOD SHOWED HIM
FUTURE EVENTS THAT
WILL IMPACT THIS WORLD,
NEXT, ON THIS EDITION OF
“IT’S SUPERNATURAL”.

LIFE AFTER DEATH
EXPERIENCES
AND ANGELIC COMMUNICATIONS
ARE ON THE INCREASE.
TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS
WHOM DOCTORS
HAVE GIVEN NO HOPE ARE
UNEXPLAINABLY CURED.
PEOPLE ARE BEING
MYSTERIOUSLY PROTECTED
FROM NATURAL DISASTERS.
SID ROTH, YOUR
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER,
EXAMINES THIS INVISIBLE
WORLD ON
“IT’S SUPERNATURAL!”.
SID: HELLO, I’M SID ROTH,
YOUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER.
TO ENTRUST A HUMAN
WITH THE FUTURE,
YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU’RE
DEALING WITH THE RIGHT HUMAN.
AND GOD PICKED
A JEWISH MAN TO
REVEAL FUTURE EVENTS THAT
WILL IMPACT THIS EARTH.
BUT HE DEALT WITH THEM IN
A VERY SUPERNATURAL FASHION.
YOU WERE A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSMAN, STEVE LIGHTLE.
AT A YOUNG AGE – HOW OLD
WERE YOU WHEN YOU
HAD YOUR FIRST
STOCK BROKER’S ACCOUNT?
STEVE: WELL, MY DAD, WHEN
I WAS 11 YEARS OLD,
SAID, “EVERY JEWISH BOY
NEEDS A STOCK BROKER”,
SO AT AGE 11 I DID, AND I
JUST BEGAN TO INVEST MONIES
THAT WOULD COME TO
ME AT DIFFERENT HOLIDAYS,
BIRTHDAYS, AND THINGS
THAT –
SID: AND YOU EVOLVED
TO A BUSINESS THAT –
IT’S HARD FOR ME TO SAY
IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE –
STEVE: (LAUGHS)
BUT IT WAS A
MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR
BUSINESS CALLED THE –
STEVE: DIPPY DUCK CAR WASH.
STEVE: THAT’S CORRECT.
SID: LET ME TRY IT:
DIPPY DUCK (LAUGHS) –
I CAN’T EVEN SAY IT –
STEVE: (LAUGHS) YEAH!
SID: DIPPY DUCK – IS THAT A
TONGUE TWISTER?
STEVE: YEAH, WELL, NOT
REALLY,
BUT NOBODY EVER FORGOT THE
BUSINESS ONCE THEY CAME.
SID: I MEAN! GREAT
IDEA! BUT ONE DAY,
GOD SPOKE TO YOU, AND THE
LAST THING (LAUGHS) IN THE
WORLD
YOU EVER THOUGHT HE’D SAY,
WHAT DID HE TELL YOU?
STEVE: HE SAID, “GIVE THIS
BUSINESS AWAY.
THE DAY IS COMING, YOU’RE
GOING TO GET UP,
WALK OUT THE DOOR OF THIS
OFFICE, AND YOU
WILL NEVER COME BACK.”
THE YEAR WAS 1973 AND,
YOU KNOW, I MEAN,
WHEN THAT HAPPENED,
I SAID, “GOD, YOU HAVE TO TELL
MY WIFE! I’M NOT GONNA TELL HER.
SID: (LAUGHS)
STEVE: YOU HAVE TO!”
EXACTLY THE SAME DAY,
GOD SPOKE TO MY WIFE, JUDY,
AND TOLD HER WHAT HE TOLD
ME; AND IT WAS JUST
A SHORT TIME LATER, HE SAID,
“THIS IS THE DAY. GET UP.
WALK OUT OF THIS OFFICE, AND
DON’T YOU EVER COME BACK.”
BUT GOD HAD PREPARED US,
AND SO
I REACHED INTO THE SAFE TO GET –
THERE WAS $14,000 IN CASH –
SID: WELL, THAT’LL KEEP
YOU FOR A LITTLE WHILE!
STEVE: AND THIS IS 1973.
AND THE LORD SAID,
“THAT’S NOT YOURS, STEVEN.”
SID: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU WORKED YOUR
WHOLE LIFE FOR IT!
STEVE: I KNOW, BUT HE
CHANGED STEWARDS.
SID: (LAUGHS)
STEVE: AND I SPUN THE DIAL,
WENT TO GET
THE CHECKBOOK,
AND THE LORD SAID,
“THAT’S NOT YOURS, STEVEN.”
BUT YOU SEE, GOD HAD
PREPARED MY WIFE AND I,
AND ONE THING THAT WE
UNDERSTOOD IS THAT
GOD NEVER ASKS YOU TO GIVE
UP SOMETHING THAT
HE DOES NOT, YOU KNOW, MAKE
PROVISION FOR YOU, FOR
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
YOU WILL EVER NEED LATER,
YOU KNOW, ON.
SID: I’M CURIOUS.
WHO DID YOU GIVE THIS
BUSINESS TO –
THIS MILLION-DOLLAR
BUSINESS?
STEVE: WELL, IT WAS A MAN
THAT I HAD DONE
SOME BUSINESS WITH IN THE CAR
WASH BUSINESS, AND
THEN WAS AN EMPLOYEE FOR
AWHILE. AND GOD SPOKE TO HIM!
I HAD NO IDEA
WHO TO GIVE IT TO.
I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH IT,
AND WHO WAS GOING TO
OPEN UP THE NEXT MORNING.
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT –
SID: THAT FAST!
STEVE: THAT FAST. IT JUST
– BOOM! WHEN IT HAPPENED!
BUT GOD SPOKE TO BOTH
MY WIFE AND I. WE DID
NOT JUST UP AND DO THIS.
SID: OF COURSE.
STEVE: IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT I NEVER, EVER DREAMT
THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN TO
US BECAUSE I, YOU KNOW,
I WAS A BUSINESSMAN,
AND IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT I ALWAYS
WANTED TO DO, AND –
SID: BUT HOW DID IT FEEL
TAKING THAT –
HOW MUCH MONEY WAS IT?
$14,000? AND THAT’S YOURS!
STEVE: YES! (LAUGHS)
SID: THE BUSINESS IS HIS,
BUT THAT’S YOUR –
AND YOU LEFT IT?
STEVE: LEFT IT THERE. LEFT THE
CHECK – LEFT EVERYTHING!
I WALKED OUT, AND THIS MAN
CALLED ME AT MY DINNER TABLE
THAT NIGHT. I WASN’T EATING TOO
MUCH BECAUSE
I BEGAN TO THINK,
“ALL RIGHT, AM I CRAZY?
IS THIS REALLY GOD?”,
YOU KNOW, AND –
SID: WHAT IF IT WAS
THE PIZZA? (LAUGHS)
STEVE: YEAH (LAUGHS) AND – BUT
THE MAN CALLED ME; HE SAID,
“STEVE, GOD TOLD ME TO TAKE
OVER DIPPY DUCK CAR WASH!”
I SAID, “OH, GOOD! I SAID,
“IT’S YOURS!”
SO HE CAME AND HE GOT
THE COMBINATIONS TO THE SAFES,
THE KEYS AND EVERYTHING, AND
I’VE NEVER, EVER BEEN BACK.
SID: HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN
GOD TOLD YOU TO ALSO
GIVE AWAY ALL OF
YOUR FURNITURE? HOW ABOUT
YOUR HOME? DID YOU SELL IT?
STEVE: YES.
SID: DID YOU ASK FOR
A LOT OF MONEY?
STEVE: NO, WE GAVE EVERYTHING
AWAY EXCEPT OUR WEDDING GIFTS.
MY WIFE AND I HAD RETAINED
OUR WEDDING GIFTS,
BUT THE LORD SAID GIVE
YOUR CAR –
GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY THAT
YOU HAVE.
AND WE WANTED TO FOLLOW
JESUS IN A WAY THAT
HE WAS ASKING US TO DO,
BUT SID, I GUARANTEE YOU
TO THIS DAY, THAT HE HAS
PROVIDED AND
GIVEN TO US THINGS. PEOPLE
THINK WE’RE MILLIONAIRES
BECAUSE OF WHAT GOD
GIVES BACK TO US!
SID: SO GOD CALLS YOU
AND YOUR WIFE, JUDY,
AND YOUR TWO YOUNG
DAUGHTERS, TO GO TO
BRAUNSCHWEIG, GERMANY, WITH
HOW MUCH IN YOUR POCKET?
STEVE: IN OUR POCKET – THIS
WAS JUNE 1973 – AND
THE LORD HAD SPOKEN TO US:
“I WANT YOU TO MOVE TO
BRAUNSCHWEIG,
WEST GERMANY”,
AND WHEN WE GOT
ON THE AIRPLANE,
MY WIFE AND I BETWEEN US
HAD $1.28.
.
SID: THAT’S NOT A VERY
RESPONSIBLE
THING TO DO, STEVE!
STEVE: NO, IT DOESN’T
SOUND LIKE IT’S VERY
RESPONSIBLE.
SID: YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE A
“MENSCH” – YOU KNOW –
STEVE: (LAUGHS) YEAH!
SID: A “GOOD HUMAN”!
STEVE: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
BUT WE HAD THE LORD!
AND WHEN THE LORD SAID,
“YOU GO DO THIS”, AND
HE SAID, “I’LL PROVIDE.”
SID: BUT YOU HAD THESE
TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS.
HOW OLD WERE YOUR DAUGHTERS?
STEVE: THE YOUNGEST FIVE,
AND THE OLDEST SEVEN.
SID: STEVE.
STEVE: WE HAD NO IDEA WHERE
WE WERE GOING TO LIVE.
WE HAD NO IDEA –
SID: STEVE, ARE YOU
A SUPERMAN OR SOME –
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?
STEVE: NO, NO, NO.
BECAUSE OF A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MESSIAH.
AND HE HAD DEFINITELY
SHOWN US THE THINGS
THAT HE WANTED US TO DO.
IT WAS A STEP IN FAITH.
I’D NEVER “WALKED ON WATER”,
BUT I CAN BEGIN TO
UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT SOME OF THE –
YOU KNOW – LIKE PETER. I MEAN,
HE WALKED ON THE WATER,
BECAUSE IN FAITH, WE HAD TO
MOVE FORWARD.
SID: DID YOU HAVE A HOUSE
WAITING FOR YOU?
A JOB WAITING FOR YOU AT
BRAUNSCHWEIG?
STEVE: NO.
WE HAD NOTHING – WE DIDN’T
EVEN KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO
MEET US AT THE AIRPORT!
BUT SOME PEOPLE WERE THERE.
SID: STEVE, I HAVE USED
THIS WORD PREVIOUSLY,
BUT FOR YOU, IT FITS:
YOU’VE GOT “CHUTZPAH”!
STEVE: YEAH CHUTZPAH (LAUGHS).
SID: “NERVE”! (LAUGHS)
STEVE: BUT, YOU KNOW,
FOLLOWING THE LEADING,
THAT WE KNOW IN OUR HEARTS –
SID: DID YOUR FAMILY STARVE?
DID YOUR FAMILY HAVE A
PLACE TO LIVE?
STEVE: NEVER.
WE HAD A PLACE TO LIVE.
WE’VE NEVER MISSED A MEAL.
NEVER SINCE THAT TIME.
AND THE LORD SAID, “I’M GOING
TO TEACH YOU TO LIVE BY FAITH,
WITH NO HINTS. YOU WILL NEVER
HINT AT ANYTHING YOU NEED.”
AND WE NEVER HAVE.
AND THE DAY CAME WHEN
THE HOLY SPIRIT
SPOKE TO ME AND SAID,
“IF YOU NEED A MILLION
DOLLARS, I’LL GIVE IT TO YOU.”
AND I THOUGHT, “WHAT WILL
I EVER NEED
A MILLION DOLLARS FOR?”
WELL, THE DAY CAME,
AND HE PROVIDED IT.
IT WAS RIGHT THERE.
AND SO WE HAVE SEEN SOME
AMAZING, AMAZING THINGS
THAT HE HAS
PROVIDED AND TAKEN CARE OF.
SID: SPEAKING OF AMAZING
THINGS, YOU REACHED A POINT
WHERE YOU HAD INTIMACY WITH
GOD, BUT YOU KNEW THERE WAS
SOMETHING WRONG ON THE INSIDE;
SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T LIKE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, MAYBE –
IT IS TOO STRONG TO SAY –
YOU WERE ASHAMED OF?
STEVE: THERE WERE SOME THINGS,
SID, THAT I KNEW THAT WERE
IN MY LIFE THAT DID NOT BELONG
IN THE LIFE OF A BELIEVER IN
THE MESSIAH:
THINGS LIKE PRIDE, JEALOUSY.
I WAS JEALOUS WHEN –
IF GOD USED SOMEBODY
ELSE AND BLESSED THEM,
I COULD NOT REJOICE
IN THE BLESSING.
I WANTED TO DO EVERYTHING.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOD’S MAN
OF FAITH AND POWER,
AND SO, “WHY AREN’T YOU
USING ME, LORD? WHY THAT?”
AND I REALIZED –
SID: HOLD THAT THOUGHT.
I’M GOING TO HAVE STEVE
HOLD THAT THOUGHT,
AND YOU’RE GOING TO FIND OUT
HOW JESUS –
I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO
BELIEVE – BUT THIS IS TRUE!
JESUS CAME IN.
HE HAD A VISITATION,
AND JESUS TOOK AN AX –
I MEAN, AN AX!
– AND CHOPPED OUT
THESE HORRIBLE THINGS.
DON’T GO AWAY.
[MUSIC ♪]
WE’LL RETURN WITH
SID ROTH
AND “IT’S SUPERNATURAL!”
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
SID: HI, I’M SID ROTH,
YOUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER.
I AM SO ENRAPTURED BY OUR
GUEST, STEVE LIGHTLE.
HE FEELS IN HIS HEART –
I MEAN, HERE’S A GUY
WHO PUT HIS LIFE, HIS FAMILY,
ON THE LINE FOR GOD,
BUT HE SAID, “THERE’S JEALOUSY
INSIDE OF ME, AND I KNOW IT!
I KNOW GOD, BUT I KNOW IT.
THERE’S PRIDE; THERE’S ENVY.
I WANT TO GET RID OF IT!”
SO WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT IT?
STEVE: WELL, THIS IS IN
AUGUST OF 1974.
SID: IT GOES BACK.
STEVE: YES, AND I WENT INTO
A ROOM IN THE CITY OF
BRAUNSCHWEIG, AND I SAID,
WHEN I HAD MY HAND ON THE
DOORKNOB OF THE DOOR, I SAID,
“GOD, EITHER I’M GONNA DIE
IN THIS ROOM,
OR YOU’RE GOING TO
CHANGE MY LIFE.”
AND I HEARD, JUST, THIS
GENTLE VOICE SAY,
“HOW ABOUT IF BOTH THINGS
HAPPEN TO YOU?”
SID: OY!
STEVE: YEAH.
AND I KNEW THAT WAS THE
HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKING TO ME.
WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR, I
WAS NOT PREPARED
FOR WHAT HAPPENED, BECAUSE
I WAS JUST HIT BY A POWER.
AND I FELL DOWN;
AND I STAYED
ON THE FLOOR OF THIS ROOM
FOR 6-1/2 DAYS.
SID: STEVE, HAD ANYTHING
LIKE THIS
EVER HAPPENED TO YOU BEFORE?
STEVE: NOTHING.
SID: STEVE, YOU LOOK LIKE
A MENSCH;
WERE YOU EVER ON DRUGS?
STEVE: NEVER.
SID: DID YOU EVER HAVE
MENTAL PROBLEMS?
STEVE: NEVER HAD
MENTAL PROBLEMS.
SID: AND YOU’RE SAYING
SOMETHING PINNED YOU
TO THE FLOOR?
STEVE: SOMETHING PINNED ME
TO THE FLOOR, AND I STAYED
THERE 6-1/2 DAYS.
IN THE BEGINNING I
COULDN’T UNDERSTAND.
I MEAN,
I COULD NOT STAND UP!
AND I THOUGHT, WELL,
WHAT’S GOING ON?
IS THIS A HALLUCINATION OR –
BUT GOD IN HIS MERCY,
HE SENT THREE PEOPLE TO ME,
AND ALL THREE PEOPLE
FELL DOWN, THE MINUTE THEY
OPENED THAT DOOR.
ONE OF THEM, HE LEFT
IMMEDIATELY.
HE SAID, “I CAN’T EVEN
BREATHE!” THE SECOND ONE
STAYED 20 MINUTES, AND HE
HAD DIFFICULTY BREATHING.
THE THIRD ONE, HE SAID,
“GOD IS IN THIS PLACE!”,
AND HE SPENT 2-1/2 DAYS OUT
OF THAT 6-1/2 DAYS WITH ME
THERE ON THE
FLOOR OF THE ROOM.
AND IT WAS JUST A – IT WAS A
TIME OF THE LORD
DEALING IN MY LIFE, AND
POINTING THINGS OUT THAT,
YOU KNOW, THEY WEREN’T
GREAT THINGS THAT
CONTROLLED MY LIFE, BUT THERE
WERE LITTLE ROOTS OF THINGS:
ENVY, STRIFE, AND BITTERNESS,
AND SOME THINGS
THAT I REALIZE THAT THEY
DIDN’T BELONG IN ME.
BUT EVERY ONCE IN A
WHILE IT WOULD FLARE UP,
AND I WOULD FEEL SO BAD.
SO AT THE END OF THIS TIME,
I’M LAYING ON THE FLOOR; MY
HEAD IS ON MY ARM LIKE THIS.
I HAD CRIED SO MANY TEARS,
I HAD NOTHING MORE TO CRY.
AND I HEARD A VOICE SPEAK
TO ME AUDIBLY, IN MY EARS,
AND THIS VOICE SAID,
“SON, TRUST ME.”
I SAID, “LORD, I TRUST YOU!”
I KNEW IT WAS THE LORD
WHO WAS SPEAKING.
THE SECOND TIME,
“SON, TRUST ME!”
I SAID, “I TRUST YOU!”
THE THIRD TIME HE SAID,
“SON, YOU MUST TRUST ME!”
AND I SAID, “LORD, I DO!”
AND I LIFTED MY HEAD,
AND I LOOKED,
AND STANDING JUST RIGHT
BESIDE ME WAS THE LORD JESUS,
AND HE HAD AN
AX IN HIS HAND.
AND THEN I SAW SOMETHING
THAT WAS SO BLACK, SID.
IT WAS THE MOST
HIDEOUS THING.
SID: WHAT WAS THAT?
STEVE: WELL, I CRIED OUT.
I SAID, “WHAT IS THAT?”
AND THE LORD SAID,
“THAT’S YOUR HEART.”
I SAID,
“GOD, I CAN’T STAND IT!”
HE SAID,
“I CAN’T STAND IT, EITHER”,
AND HE TOOK THAT AX, AND HE
BEGAN TO LAY IT TO THE ROOTS
OF THOSE THINGS THAT
DID NOT BELONG IN MY LIFE,
AS BEING A BELIEVER
IN THE LORD JESUS.
AND WHEN HE DID IT, THIS
LIBERTY AND THIS FREEDOM CAME,
AND THEN HE WAS GONE.
BUT I MEAN,
I WAS FREE! I WAS FREE!
AND IT’S BEEN AWESOME!
SO THAT THEN I COULD
SUPPORT AND HELP OTHERS
IN A WAY THAT I’D NEVER EVEN
KNOWN WAS POSSIBLE BEFORE.
SID: BUT THEN, AFTER YOU
WERE FREE,
WAS IT LIKE A TELEVISION
SCREEN THAT APPEARED?
STEVE: WELL, FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN THE 6-1/2 DAYS,
I GOT UP AND I SAT
IN A BIG OVERSTUFFED CHAIR.
SID: BY THE WAY, DID YOU
HAVE ANY FOOD? ANY WATER?
STEVE: NO.
I HAD NOTHING.
SID: FOR 6-1/2 –
STEVE: 6-1/2 DAYS.
SID: STEVE! THE BODY HAS
DIFFICULTY TOLERATING THAT.
STEVE: ABSOLUTELY. BUT
THE LORD SUSTAINED ME.
I MEAN, MOSES WENT 40 DAYS,
AND THEN BOOM!
HAD TO GO UP AND DO
ANOTHER 40 DAYS,
SO IT WAS SOMETHING THAT
GOD SUSTAINED ME.
AND I GOT UP AND
I SAT IN A CHAIR,
AND A WHOLE WALL
BECAME A SCREEN.
I HAD NEVER HAD ANYTHING
LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE.
AND I SAT,
AND I BEGAN TO WATCH.
AND I BEGAN TO SEE FACES,
AND THEY WERE JEWISH FACES.
AND THEN I COULD SEE
MULTITUDES – HUNDREDS
AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
AND THEN FROM A HEIGHT,
THE LORD ALLOWED ME TO SEE
THE NATION THEY’RE IN,
AND IT WAS THEN CALLED
THE SOVIET UNION.
AND AS I SAW THIS –
SID: WHAT YEAR WAS THIS AGAIN?
STEVE: THIS WAS IN 1974.
AUGUST OF ’74.
AND I’M WATCHING ON THIS
MOVIE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME,
AND I’M TOTALLY CONSCIOUS,
BUT, YOU KNOW,
I WAS HAVING A VISION, WHICH
IS NOT A STRANGE TESTIMONY;
BUT IT’S SIMPLY SOMETHING
THAT GOD ALLOWS TO HAPPEN.
AND IN THIS VISION I SAW GOD
RAISE UP MEN WITH MINISTRIES
THAT WERE AS GREAT OR GREATER
THAN THAT THAT MOSES HAD.
WE WENT TO THE AUTHORITIES
OF THE SOVIET UNION, AND SAID,
“THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF
ISRAEL, ‘LET MY PEOPLE GO!'”
AND THEY SAID, “NO!” AND THEN,
THROUGH PROPHETIC PROPHESYINGS,
I BEGAN TO SEE GOD BRING THE
SOVIET UNION TO ITS KNEES –
THE WHOLE NATION – AND GOD
JUDGED THEM, UNTIL
THERE WAS NO NATION LEFT.
THERE WAS NO “IRON CURTAIN”.
ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I SAW –
THE “FIRST PLAGUE” THAT I SAW –
WAS A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN.
SID: WHAT IS A
NUCLEAR MELTDOWN?
STEVE: A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN
WAS WHERE A NUCLEAR REACTOR,
IT BEGAN TO COME APART;
AND AS IT CAME APART,
GOD SPOKE VERY CLEARLY
AND SAID,
“I AM JUDGING THE IDOL OF
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
THAT THE SOVIETS
ARE WORSHIPPING.”
AND WHEN THIS BEGAN TO
HAPPEN – AND THERE WAS
MORE THAN ONE OF THESE
NUCLEAR MELTDOWNS –
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT WITH A
NUCLEAR REACTOR.
SID: NOW, THIS WAS BEFORE
CHERNOBYL?
STEVE: THIS IS 1974.
CHERNOBYL DIDN’T HAPPEN
UNTIL IN THE 80S.
SID: WELL, THAT’S WHAT YOU
WERE SEEING!
STEVE: THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT
I SAW.
AND GOD, AND WITH THESE
THINGS HAPPENING,
AND HE SHOWED ME THESE
DIFFERENT PLAGUES COMING,
UNTIL THE SOVIET UNION
LITERALLY CAME TO ITS KNEES;
AND BY COMING TO ITS KNEES,
IT JUST BEGAN TO CRUMBLE.
AND THEN THE JEWISH PEOPLE
BEGAN TO COME OUT.
THEY GOT ON SHIPS, AND THEY
WENT HOME TO ISRAEL.
I SAID, “LORD! THAT IS REALLY
WONDERFUL, AND I’M GLAD!
BUT WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO
DO WITH ME?”
AND I HAD NO IDEA WHY
ANYTHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE
SHOWN TO ME. BUT THEN I
BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND,
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE JUST
BEGAN TO SPEAK TO ME,
AND HE SAID, “BECAUSE I WANT
YOU TO BEGIN TO
GO TO THE JEWISH COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE SOVIET UNION,
AND I WANT YOU TO PREPARE THEM
AND TELL THEM,
“I AM GOING TO DELIVER THEM
WITH AN EXODUS OUT OF HERE,
AND I WILL TAKE THEM HOME TO
ISRAEL; AND YOU WILL SEE IT
IN YOUR OWN LIFETIME.”
AND I SAID,
“WELL, IF YOU CAN PROVE
THIS TO ME IN THE BIBLE,
I WILL GO ANYWHERE WITH YOU,
AS LONG AS YOU’RE WITH ME.”
AND HE DID. HE SHOWED
ME WHAT I SAW IN THE BIBLE,
AND THEN I BEGAN TO GO.
AND I’VE BEEN IN
OVER 90 CITIES IN THE SOVIET
UNION SINCE 1974.
SID: STEVE; THE MIRACLES
THAT HE SAW!
YOU’VE GOT TO HEAR THEM!
WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK
AFTER THIS.
[MUSIC ♪]
WE’LL RETURN TO
MORE OF SID ROTH
AND
“IT’S SUPERNATURAL!”.
SID: HELLO, SID ROTH HERE,
YOUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER,
AND WE’VE JUST BEEN FINDING
OUT FROM STEVE LIGHTLE,
THIS JEWISH MAN, HOW HE
HAD A VISION FROM GOD
OF THE LAST DAYS; AND PART OF
IT HAS ALREADY COME TO PASS.
NOT ALL OF IT;
AND AS A MATTER OF FACT,
HE SAW WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS
A MELTDOWN –
A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN
BEFORE CHERNOBYL.
NOW, WHEN CHERNOBYL
OCCURRED,
WHAT DID GOD TELL YOU
WOULD HAPPEN?
WHAT WOULD THAT
BE A SIGN OF?
STEVE: WELL, WHEN – IN THE
VISION, WHEN THE “PLAGUES”
BEGAN TO HAPPEN, TO BRING THE
SOVIET UNION TO ITS KNEES –
AND BEFORE IT DISINTEGRATED –
THE FIRST PLAGUE
THAT THE LORD SHOWED ME
WAS NUCLEAR MELTDOWNS.
SID: I HAVE AN IDEA THERE
WILL BE A LOT MORE OF THEM.
STEVE: YES, AND THERE’S BEEN –
CHERNOBYL’S ONLY ONE.
THERE’S BEEN OTHERS, BUT IT’S
JUST – NOT A WHOLE LOT OF IT
IS PUBLICIZED –
BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENED,
GOD JUST SPOKE,
AND HE SAID,
“WHEN YOU SEE THIS, YOU
WILL KNOW THAT
THE EXODUS IS GOING TO BE
RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF IT”,
BECAUSE THERE’LL BE SOME
OTHER THINGS THAT’LL HAPPEN;
BUT THEN THE
JEWISH PEOPLE
WILL BEGIN TO COME OUT,
AND GO HOME TO ISRAEL.
SID: ALL RIGHT, SINCE THAT
ORIGINAL VISION,
WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH
THE JEWISH PEOPLE
IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION?
STEVE: SINCE – NOW, THE
VISION WAS 1974.
WHEN I BEGAN TO SPEAK
OPENLY AND PUBLICLY ABOUT THIS
IN 1981, PEOPLE THOUGHT
I FELL OUT OF A TREE
AND LANDED ON MY HEAD.
SID: I’M SURE!
STEVE: “NEVER WILL IT HAPPEN!”
BUT IN 1991,
THE SOVIET UNION
DISINTEGRATED.
WE HAVE THE WHOLE
CHERNOBYL MELTDOWN;
THE JEWISH PEOPLE BEGIN TO
COME HOME TO ISRAEL;
AND NOW APPROXIMATELY
ONE MILLION HAVE COME FROM
THE FORMER SOVIET UNION, AND
THEY’RE HOME IN ISRAEL! TODAY!
EXACTLY AS GOD PROPHESIED
IN THE BIBLE. AND HE LET,
BY HIS GRACE, ALLOWED ME
TO SEE IN THE VISION.
IT’S EXCITING TIMES
IN WHICH WE LIVE!
SID: NOW, WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE?
NOT JUST IN THE
FORMER SOVIET UNION,
BUT IN THE FOUR CORNERS OF
THE EARTH?
STEVE: ABSOLUTELY, SID. THIS IS
SO IMPORTANT, BECAUSE
THE BIBLE SAYS IT BEGINS
“IN A COUNTRY TO THE NORTH”.
THEN WE SAW FROM ETHIOPIA TO
THE SOUTH – ISAIAH 43,
“…AND ALL THE JEWISH PEOPLE
WERE TAKEN OUT OF ETHIOPIA,
BUT IT SAYS “…ALL NATIONS”.
THAT MEANS THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA;
THAT THE SIX MILLION
JEWISH PEOPLE HERE –
SID: WAIT A SECOND, STEVE!
STEVE: (LAUGHS)
SID: YOU’VE BEEN TO ISRAEL.
I’VE BEEN TO ISRAEL.
WHAT AMERICAN JEWISH
BUSINESSMAN WOULD WANT TO
LIVE IN A THIRD-WORLD
COUNTRY WHERE HE DOESN’T
EVEN SPEAK THE LANGUAGE,
HE’S OUTNUMBERED 100 TO 1
BY ENEMIES THAT WON’T BE
HAPPY UNTIL JERUSALEM IS
IN ARAB POSSESSION.
WE’LL SEND OUR MONEY, BUT
WE DON’T WANT TO GO!
STEVE: THAT’S EXACTLY – THIS
IS WHAT I GET WHEREVER
I GO IN NORTH AMERICA, AND I
TALK TO JEWISH COMMUNITIES,
JEWISH PEOPLE. THEY SAID, “NO!
I’LL SEND MY MONEY!
I’LL SEND MY MONEY!” BUT
GOD DOESN’T NEED OUR MONEY!
HE NEEDS US, AND HE WANTS
US PERSONALLY TO BE IN ISRAEL.
HE HAS SPOKEN THAT.
HE SPOKE IT THROUGH MOSES.
HE SPOKE IT THROUGH ISAIAH.
HE SPOKE IT THROUGH
JEREMIAH, EZEKIEL, ZECHARIAH,
AND MANY OF OUR PROPHETS
SPOKE AND SAID,
“WE WOULD GO TO
THE LAND OF ISRAEL.”
SID: ALL RIGHT, WHAT WOULD
CAUSE US TO GO?
STEVE: IT’S GOING TO BE –
SID: THIS IS THE
GREATEST COUNTRY THE
WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!
STEVE: THAT’S RIGHT, SID,
AND GOD LOVES THIS NATION.
HOWEVER, WHEN WE TURN
OUR BACK UPON HIM –
AND WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER
6 MILLION JEWISH PEOPLE HERE.
TO GET THEM TO GO, IT’S GOING
TO TAKE CATACLYSMIC EVENTS –
ECONOMICALLY, NATURALLY – AND
THINGS THAT ARE
GOING TO HAPPEN. GOD
WANTS US TO GO NOW,
BECAUSE HE HAS A PLAN
FOR US, AS JEWISH PEOPLE.
SID: ALL RIGHT, THERE IS
INCREASED ANTI-SEMITISM
IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION,
AND THAT IS THE CATALYST
THAT’S CAUSING RUSSIAN
JEWS WHO SAID,
“WELL, MAYBE WE’LL STAY
HERE. MAYBE IT’LL BE OKAY.”
THEY’RE LINING UP FOR THEIR
“ALIYAH”, TO RETURN TO ISRAEL.
SO WHAT ABOUT AMERICA?
WILL THERE BE THAT SAME
ANTI-SEMITISM?
STEVE: ABSOLUTELY. THERE’S
GOING TO BE A RISE OF
ANTI-SEMITISM, AND THE
JEWISH PEOPLE WILL BE
BLAMED FOR WHAT’S GOING TO
HAPPEN IN THIS NATION, BECAUSE
THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR.
EZEKIEL, CHAPTER 36, GOD SAYS,
“I WILL LEAVE NONE OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE
NATIONS THAT I SCATTERED
THEM TO.”
HE WILL RETURN
EVERY LIVING JEWISH PERSON
BACK TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
SID: WHAT HAPPENED WITH
MANY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
THAT WERE ESCAPING FROM
HITLER’S GERMANY,
WHEN THEY CAME TO
THE VARIOUS NATIONS?
STEVE: WELL, ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT HAPPENED,
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER, THAT
GOD RAISED AT LEAST FIVE,
THAT I KNOW OF, PROPHETS –
JEWISH PROPHETS –
SID: ZIONISTS.
STEVE: ZIONISTS, BEFORE HITLER
CAME TO POWER, THAT WENT TO
EVERY JEWISH COMMUNITY.
PEOPLE LIKE DR. MAX
NARDOU, JABOTINSKY,
AND THERE WERE THREE OTHERS,
AND THEY WENT AND THEY SAID,
“GO!”, AND THE PEOPLE LAUGHED
THEM OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUES.
AND SO THEN WHEN HITLER
CAME TO POWER, AND THEN
PRESIDENT FRANKLIN
ROOSEVELT OF THE UNITED STATES
CALLED A CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD IN EVIAN, FRANCE;
AND THE WHOLE WORLD
REJECTED THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
HITLER OFFERED THE JEWS OF
GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
FOR SALE: $250 A HEAD, FOR
EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD.
EVEN IF THEY WOULD DO THAT,
BUT THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD –
AND ALL THEY HAD TO DO –
THE PARTICIPANTS – WAS TO
TAKE 25,000 EACH, AND THERE
WOULD HAVE BEEN NO HOLOCAUST.
AND I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THERE
WOULD HAVE BEEN
NO WORLD WAR II. BUT BECAUSE
THE NATIONS REJECTED THE
JEWISH PEOPLE, AND THEN SOME
GOT ON SHIPS. AND ONE OF THE
MOST FAMOUS WAS CALLED – A
SHIP CALLED “THE ST. LOUIS” –
OVER 900 JEWISH PEOPLE
SAILED OUT OF GERMANY;
CAME TO THE UNITED STATES,
WENT TO ELLIS ISLAND,
AND WERE REFUSED THE RIGHT
TO COME INTO THIS NATION.
THEY WENT TO QUEBEC CITY
IN CANADA;
THEY WERE REFUSED THERE,
AND THEY HAD TO GO
BACK TO GERMANY; AND
MOST OF THEM – NOT ALL –
BUT ALMOST ALL WERE KILLED
IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
WE HAVE OTHER SHIPS THAT
DID THE SAME THING.
SID: WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION,
WILL AMERICAN CHRISTIANS DO,
WHEN IT’S LIFE-THREATENING
TO HELP A JEW?
STEVE: WELL, THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT
CHRISTIANS HERE NEED TO BE
PREPARED FOR, AT THIS TIME,
AS RAHAB WAS PREPARED IN THE
TIME OF JERICHO,
AND HID TWO JEWISH SPIES,
AND TOOK THEM IN.
AND WHEN SHE HELPED THEM
TO GO BACK TO THEIR PEOPLE,
AND WHEN THE WALLS OF
JERICHO CAME DOWN,
ONE FAMILY STILL EXISTED,
AND THAT WAS RAHAB’S FAMILY.
THE SAME THING WILL
HAPPEN TODAY;
THAT IF WE HELP THE JEWISH
PEOPLE – BECAUSE
THEY’RE GOING TO NEED
HELP FROM NORTH AMERICA –
IT SEEMS LIKE
SOMETHING THAT’S
TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE
AT THIS TIME.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN?”
BUT IT WILL – IT WILL CHANGE.
CATACLYSMIC EVENTS ARE
COMING –
BOTH ECONOMICALLY AND
NATURALLY – THAT THE
JEWISH PEOPLE WILL BE BLAMED
FOR, AND THOSE CHRISTIANS
WHO HAVE PREPARED THEIR
HEARTS WILL HELP THEM TO GO.
AND GOD WILL MOVE –
IN ONE OF THE
GREATEST EVANGELISTIC MOVES
THAT EVER HAS BEEN KNOWN
IN THE HISTORY OF THE EARTH –
WILL HAPPEN IN THIS NATION,
AS HE RETURNS THE SIX
MILLION BACK HOME
TO ISRAEL, BECAUSE GOD’S
GOING TO DEAL WITH US.
SID: YOU REALIZE WHAT
YOU’RE HEARING RIGHT NOW?
[MUSIC ♪]
THIS IS HAPPENING
RIGHT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES,
AND AS MORDECAI TOLD ESTHER,
“IF YOU DON’T STAND UP FOR
THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
GOD WILL RAISE DELIVERANCE
FROM ANOTHER SOURCE;
BUT ESTHER! WHO KNOWS?
IF YOU’VE NOT BEEN CALLED
TO THE KINGDOM,
FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS?”
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT’S AN
ACCIDENT THAT
YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING.
IT’S SUPERNATURAL.
IT’S BECAUSE GOD WANTS TO
PREPARE YOU, AND WANTS TO
GIVE YOU A PRESENCE –
AN ANOINTING UPON YOURSELF –
TO HAVE SUPERNATURAL LOVE
FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
SO HE CAN USE YOU,
JUST LIKE ESTHER OF OLD.
“THERE WAS NO ONE THAT
COULD GO BEFORE THE KING
EXCEPT ESTHER, AND THIS
WAS A – NO PEOPLE –
SHE HAD NO BUSINESS
BEING QUEEN;
BUT GOD,
BECAUSE OF HIS MERCY,
DREW ESTHER TO BECOME
QUEEN OF THE LAND.
AND IF YOU KNOW THE
MESSIAH,
YOU ARE “GRAFTED IN” TO
ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB –
AND YES –
YOU HAVE THE BLESSING;
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE THE
RESPONSIBILITY.
“ESTHER! WHO KNOWS?
IF YOU’VE NOT BEEN CALLED
TO THE KINGDOM, FOR SUCH A
TIME AS THIS?”
I URGE YOU TO ASK FOR THAT
ANOINTING OF GOD
TO FALL UPON YOU, RIGHT NOW,
TO PREPARE YOU
FOR THE GREATEST
ADVENTURE OF YOUR LIFE.
AND TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO
“IT’S SUPERNATURAL!”.
