Welcome to Crazytown

The headlines feel louder every week, but what if they’re also more connected than we want to admit? We zoom out and look at end times prophecy through a practical, current-events lens: the coming of Jesus Christ, the rise of the Antichrist, and the uncertainty around the rapture. I’m not trying to set dates. I’m trying to ask what happens when the world keeps moving toward fear, control, and total dependence on fragile systems.

We start with the Middle East, talking through Iran tensions, the risk of escalation, and why Israel’s strike in northern Syria matters when Turkey is also pressing for influence in the region. From there, we connect the pieces to biblical prophecy, including Ezekiel 38–39, and the sense that multiple players are being positioned at once.

Then we pivot to a topic most people keep separate from prophecy: energy. Global warming is part of the backdrop, but the real focus is electricity and scale. Wind and solar sound clean, yet AI data centers and server farms demand steady power 24/7 plus heavy cooling. When you do the math on gigawatts, land use, and reliability, the grid reality starts to collide with the tech gold rush and the pursuit of control. We close with Revelation 11:18 and a reminder to stay clear-eyed, share our testimony, and refuse the distractions that keep us divided.

Setting The End Times Framework

Speaker 0:10

Welcome everyone. This is Russ Scalzo, Chronicles of the End Times. I hope you're doing well today. Today we're going to talk about some pretty interesting stuff. We're going to look at all the elements that build up towards the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. And of course, before that, the coming of the Antichrist. Now there's two great events that are going to take place prior to that. And that, of course, is the rapture of the church. No one knows when that's going to be. It could be tomorrow. It could be at the rise of the Antichrist or somewhere in the midst of his reign. But the other thing that's going to take place is the rise of this leader. And the surprise that's going to be on people's faces when they can't make their own decisions anymore. They'll be told what they can do, when they can do it, and if they can do it. It sounds a lot like socialism and communism which is being pushed on us today. But that's another story for another day. So let's

Iran Tensions And Israel’s Moves

Speaker 1:10

get to it. Right now we're to stand off with Iran. Any day now there could be some more bombing, but it seems like the US is waiting to strangle the economy all the way to try to get some victory. But we have to remember we're dealing with the devil. The IRGC has just put out a reward, and I'm sure some of you have heard of it. fifty thousand dollars for killing or maiming a US soldier. And they've doubled the price for the women. I have no idea what that means, but there you have it. And on top of that, we know those of us who have our brains turned on understand that as soon as they get a working nuclear bomb, they're gonna find a way to get it to where they want it to go. It may not be a missile, maybe smuggled in somehow, God only knows. But either way, they have made up their minds this is what they want to do. Because like I've mentioned before, the Mulahs believe that that's going to bring the end, and their Messiah will come. That's another story. So the sidebar to all of this is that Israel just bombed an airport in northern Syria. One that Turkey was interested in and wanted to rebuild and have a presence in Syria. Israel can't have that because we know that Erdogan hates Israel, and he is also prophesied, Turkey is prophesied, is being one of the lead countries in the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 39. So there's a lot of things going on, there's a lot of pots being stirred. God is setting stuff up. This is the end, folks. We're getting towards it. We really, really are. How long it's gonna take to set the rest up that he wants to do, I don't know. I don't think anyone knows. But if you're looking at it in a perspective of years, we're not far away. So that's just one piece of the puzzle. It's a big piece. Now let's move on to the next thing. Let's

Global Warming And Energy Reality

Speaker 3:04

talk about global warming. Big debate global warming. It exists, it doesn't exist, blah blah blah. A lot of people say, how do they know? I mean, how long can they really go back? Can they go back 3,000 years, 5,000 years, and make a chart? They can't. But we cannot doubt that the temperature of the ocean is rising. So I'm not here to debate that. I believe that's true. But here's the kicker. We talk about solar panels and windmills and whatever we can do to generate energy. Renewable energy is fiction, and I'm gonna tell you why. The sources that we have that generate electricity will start with the windmills. They're the least effective. Or as some scientists call it, they they measure it in weight. Right, so think of it that way. Energy coming from the wind is very lightweight. The next one is the sun, that's solar panels. That's a little bit better, but still, it's still lightweight, and it has a lot of problems. Obviously, there's nighttime, there's storage, there's storms, all kinds of issues. Then the next one is coal. Now coal is a little much heavier as far as producing heat, producing electricity, and then there's oil. Oil is the fossil fuel that we're all leaning on right now, and everybody's complaining about, but that is very weighty, and that can produce a lot of electricity. Then we can take the next step, it's nuclear. And right now, that would be the best choice. Nuclear creates the greatest amount of energy, electricity, with the least amount of problems to the climate. But here's my point. Everybody's running around, we all want to save the world. We need to save ourselves. We need to leave turn our lives over to Jesus Christ. But besides that, we want to save Mama Earth for the future. We know what the future is, but still, not from the 60s. You know, I don't throw garbage out the window when I'm driving, I don't do stuff to the earth. I try to be a good boy, do what I'm supposed to do. So I'm okay with that. But here's the weird part. We can't create enough electricity with windmills and solar. It's not sustainable. But now let's throw

AI Data Centers Need Relentless Power

Speaker 5:18

AI into the picture. Oh. So let's figure this out. Let's take a look at the electricity timeline. When the electric light was discovered and it started to get distributed in the cities, we needed a way to make power. A lot of that was hydraulic with dams and that type of provision. Then we got more gadgets. We got a radio, we got TV, we got appliances. Now you jump to today, we have all kinds of devices we plug in. We need more, more power. And now with AI coming into the program, it takes us to a whole nother level. Now listen to this. Now, once AI farms are running, that's the server farms, they need power 24 hours a day, and they need steady power, and they need a lot of it. So, solar panels, they're not gonna cut it. Even though every time you turn around and you see, oh, you know what, we're building this AI center, it's gonna be one gigawatts of power. But we put in solar panels in a field, and uh it's pretty big, and you know that's gonna really help out. Now that may supplement, but these computers run so hot that they each have their own air conditioning system built in. It's tubes that run very cold water through them, and tubes around, around to keep everything cool. Every one of these needs them. There's thousands and thousands. There's an incredible amount of money all locked in to what AI can do. So if these go down, it's big trouble. And then you won't have your chat GPT and your Grok and all the others. Your internet service, everything you can think of that we rely on every single day now. So I figured I would ask my old buddy chat what it thinks. Comes back and says, a one gigawatt AI data center. What's the power demand? 4,000 to 5,000 megawatts. So how many acres of solar panels do we need for this? Somewhere between 20,000 and 35,000 acres. You want a perspective on that? 20,000 acres is about 31 square miles. So somewhere between, let's be moderate, 31 and 40 square miles of land needs to be covered with panels, and we still have to deal with the location, the weather, battery losses, how much storage we have, on and on on it goes. Now, if you think that's exaggerated, OpenAI has announced a 1.2 gigawatt data center in Texas. So that's bigger than our example. And a newly announced Ohio project is even larger with plans to ultimately reach eight gigawatts of capacity. You can do the math, I'm not gonna bother. It's insane. Don't you think it's odd that we care so much about the electricity and how we're gonna get it? And maybe we should cut down. And at the same time, we're building these huge data centers all over the country. It's just beginning. They have the fever, they can smell the gold, they can taste it. Nothing's gonna stop the billionaires, soon trillionaires from doing what they're doing. You know, sometimes we try to divide the natural from the supernatural, but lots of times God works in the natural. He knows what's going on. He knows what's going on with you and me. He knows what we're gonna do tomorrow. Sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not. He's all knowing. He's everywhere. The past, the present, the future. He's God. Sometimes we need to try to digest that the best as our little peanut brains can handle. He's God. So he saw down through the ages, he knew what was gonna happen, and he passed it on to

Revelation, Distraction, And Staying Ready

Speaker 9:05

John. John wrote it down on the Isle of Patmos. And ever since that was written, people are trying to interpret it, come up with all kinds of stuff. But now here we are, in 2026, there's only a few mysteries left, as far as I can see in Revelation. It's stuff is spelled out so well. It's just that years ago there was no ability for us to comprehend how this could possibly take place. So my point is this. All the things that we see that are going on are pointing to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, I know the Antichrist comes first, but he's not the one we're waiting for. We're waiting for the kingdom of God to come upon this earth and renew it. Because by the time he comes, he can only imagine what this place is going to look like. And if he doesn't stop us at the Battle of Armageddon, nothing but a crispy cinder floating around the sun. So yes, God's coming back to make things right, to judge the earth, to bring a new kingdom, a millennial reign of peace. But he's also coming to save his creation, who we've done a really good job of destroying up to this point, and it's only going to get worse. Listen to this scripture in Revelation eleven, verse eighteen. It reads The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets, and your people who revere your name, both great and small, and for destroying those who destroy the earth. It was just a little while ago that we were shutting down all the plants that ran on fossil fuel that produced electricity, which shot our electric bills through the roof. Oh, we're gonna make this change. It reminds me of little children that get a good idea or they think it's one and they just run with it without thinking. Okay, let's make the change. But you can't throw a switch that's just so immature and foolish. Yes, are we gonna build nuclear plants? Well, I'm sure they're underway. But I doubt they're all gonna be built and everything's gonna be beautiful before Jesus Christ comes. That's a fantasy. So now we're back at it. More fuel, more coal, more oil, whatever we need to make sure AI gets where it needs to go. I just want us to know that everything that's happening, it's happening for a reason. Power and greed will always be the destruction of mankind. Why do we need thirty square miles of solar panels, windmills on every one of these AI server farms? Because there is those at the highest level of our economy throughout the world that are racing for the gold mine. Whoever can get there first controls the world. That's just the truth. And that's the race we're seeing right before our eyes. Which makes our mission all the more vital. Sharing our testimony. This is what Jesus Christ did for me. I'm changed. Believe what you want, but he's the savior of the world. We keep demonstrating, hating people, hating this. The world is missing the point. The devil's laughing, belly laughing at us. Because we are so easily distracted. It's sick, it's sad, and that's what he's doing. The whole world is distracted. While he goes about his business, let's not be among those who are distracted.
