Welcome, everyone, to the Prophecy Watchers podcast.

I am here in studio with Olivier Melnick.

Welcome, Olivier.

Well, thank you for having me on the show.

And we are going to be talking about a very important topic.

And really, before we do, I want to remind everybody

about our upcoming Prophecy Conference in Orlando, Florida. I mean, who wouldn't want to go

Yeah, good time of the year to be there. And Orlando Prophecy Summit.com,

We have another conference coming up in June in Colorado Springs.
