What In The World Is Going On? Session 2

[Music] [Applause]

Hey you guys, welcome tonight. We, um, listen, before we go any further this evening, we want to make sure that you guys are aware that out in the foyer, I believe it is, uh, Amir's product. By the way, all the stuff that he had was completely spoken for on Sunday. And so, uh, there are order forms of various teachings that he's done. And again, the one that I really love, I mean, they're all great, but, uh, I should say there's two that I want to make sure that you guys get your hands on, but you'll have to order it. Uh, is Amir's in-depth teaching that was given at Shadow Mountain Church with Dr. David Jeremiah on the coming, uh, destruction of Damascus based on Isaiah chapter 17. Uh, which is rather remarkable because just a couple of hours ago, the United States began bombing in Syria with Coalition forces. So, I'm not saying that that's the fulfillment. I'm just saying the world is focusing on Syria tonight. Uh, you know, it's just amazing that we're in a time when such topics could be, uh, fulfilled.

But, and then the other one is Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. Uh, is absolutely essential. So, uh, among his other things, we also want to make sure that you go, uh, to his app, beholdisrael.org. Go to the website or go to the Apple Store, right? And download the free app. It is free, right? It is, uh, behold Israel. And you'll get, uh, news, push notifications, uh, blog commentaries, links. It's an excellent source, uh, of news and what's happening in Israel. Sometimes, I must, I must say, very, uh, gratefully to Amir, I'll get news from him and then maybe two or three hours later, I'll get it from, uh, Jerusalem Post or some other source that's out there, Reuters. Uh, and so it's, it's more than timely. You'll, you'll be blessed. But look, it's free. It's free. So, it's amazing. My, my good Jewish friend giving something away is fantastic. I love it. Take advantage of it.

So, listen, let's pray together and, uh, and away we go. Father, we ask you, Lord, that you'd bless this night. Father, we thank you, Lord, that the whole motive behind this evening, uh, comes from really coffee tabletop talk. And Lord, that it's valuable that we discuss and talk and share because your light and your truth and the excitement of your word is for all of us. And so, Lord, tonight, I pray that you'd govern our tongues and our minds and our very, um, actions, both as we speak and as we receive. And Father, we pray that as, uh, tonight Amir, uh, heads on out of here and, and gets, Lord, over to Asia and all the things, uh, that he's got commitments to, that you'd give him traveling mercies and strength. So, Father, bless this night. We pray that it will glorify the name of Jesus and honor your word. And Lord, that we would be emptied out and filled now with not only your wisdom but with the baptism power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name, and all God's people said, amen. Amen. Amen.

So, um, we are, is there anything else I need to say about Behold Israel? Anything else? It is the greatest app in the world. And no, you said enough. Thank you. It's good. It's good. Okay. Um, before we get going, I, I want to, uh, read, uh, to set the stage tonight because, you know, last night we looked at the past and we brought it up to the present, and then tonight we'll go to the immediate present and out into, uh, the near future. But I want your minds to be focused on this. First Thessalonians, yeah, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. But concerning the times and the seasons, Brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. And if that was the end of his speaking on the issue, I would be troubled. But to probably, I hope all of you that are in here tonight, that first verse will not be true for you. Why? Listen, verse three. For when they say, peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them as labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape. Verse four. But you, Brethren, are not in darkness, so that this day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, and let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night. He's talking about spiritual sleep. And those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. Here it is, verse nine. It's a promise of God. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. And that's an amazing statement because that is actually a, a declaration, uh, to be delivered from God's wrath, referring to the tribulation period. You know, the seven-year tribulation period, seven, not last three and a half, all seven years of the tribulation period is a time of God's wrath. Don't be mistaken by the, the peaceful three and a half years up front. It's all the wrath of God. It's very interesting. The Bible says that those of you who are watching and ready will escape those times. And it will come upon those who are not, not aware, as a thief in the night. But you are not. He said, isn't that amazing? You're going to be aware. And that's the spirit of this night that we have together with you.

One more verse, and it is in 1 Timothy chapter, what did I put down here? It should be four. Now the Spirit, that is the Holy Spirit, expressly says that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies and hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from foods which are created by God to be received with Thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. And then he goes on to, uh, make these lists. And down at verse seven, he says that these reject. For us to reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourselves toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable, uh, for all things, having Pro-, having this promise of the life that now is and that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.

So, tonight, you guys, we're going to be talking about the immediate, uh, presence. And we etched or sketched down a few things tonight. And as promised, we want to, we want to give you guys everything that we can. Uh, but we, we hope to get the questions and answers, if possible. We got to one last night, right? And so, we apologize for that. Maybe lucky one, I know it was your question. He's in the same seat. Um, tonight, he, it is, okay, let's just start by, by, uh, by this one. Are you ready for this? I am. Okay. Um, we know that the Old Testament says, uh, the last days. I think in the Hebrew mind, it's the end of days. Then we come to the New Testament, and the last days statement is used throughout the entire New Testament. What are the last days? Well, first of all, in general, the entire time period since the time of the New Testament is known as the last days because it's all fulfilling of what the Old Testament has been talking about. However, when the disciples in Matthew 21, in, in Luke 24, when, excuse me, Matthew 24 and Luke 21, came and asked Jesus, Master, what are the signs of the end of the age? That alone tells us that they were not yet there at the end of the age, but they knew that the end is about to come. Isn't that amazing?

Uh, you guys, he's referring to Matthew 24. Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and his disciples came up and showed him the buildings of the, the temple. And Jesus said to them, do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down. Verse three. Now, as he sat on the Mount of Olives, so now he's looking right, how far is that? I'm going to guess an eighth of a mile or so. Yes, very close. So, not much distance since verse one and two. Now they're opposite on the Mount of Olives, and the disciples came to him privately, saying, tell us, watch. They actually technically asked three questions. Tell us, when will these things be? Number two, what will be the sign of your coming? And number three, and of the end of the age, or the end of the world as we know it in this time frame. Amazing, you guys. 2,000 years ago, they knew to ask the question, when's the end of the world? What are the signs? I, I'll, I'll say tonight that the last day, the, the truth of the last days is not only in Old and New Testament, but it seems as though God has put it in the heart of man to know or to discern or to feel. This is not all going to last forever. People know this in, in all religions around the world. They have this almost, uh, end time understanding. But, um, I like what Amir said at the beginning. The last days, the prophets spoke of the last days coming, and they were very descriptive. In fact, on Wednesday nights, we're going to be getting into the book of Isaiah, and Isaiah will speak a lot about the last days' events, and they're quite cataclysmic events of the last days. That's how the Old Testament represents the last days. The New Testament begins by announcing it's the last days. Uh oh. What's going on? Because you and I, you, you and I have a, have a tendency to look at things like, well, how come it hasn't happened yet? Well, in the last 2,000 years, part of the, I would say, the most important thing of the last days is the revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that he came and that he's coming back again in the second coming. We'll talk about that tonight. But we are living. That's why the Bible says we are all living in the last days. I think, how about this? I think tonight, as we sit here in the 21st century, we are at the end of the last days because the Bible tells us in the book of Hebrews, God has done speaking through prophets. He has now spoken once and for all. Finally, he's never going to speak again through his son, through his son, Jesus Christ. That is a great testimony of the last days. Okay, so now the question is, how far down are we into the end of, of the last days? And John, in his epistle, said, beloved, it is the last hour. We're living in amazing times. Yep.

So, we talked a lot last night about Israel. So, I, I put this down as number two, uh, Israel. Uh, I have always been taught, and I believe, well, from Pastor Chuck, that keep your eye on Israel because it's God's timepiece. And, um, I remember you guys, maybe many of you know the writings of Dr. H. A. Ironside and Dr. John Walvoord. They, these men used to be mocked for teaching that Israel would have to become a nation again in the last days before everything could happen. And they were made fun of by the Christian communities until May 14th, 1948. And then everybody shut up because they read the Bible for exactly what it said. And Pastor Chuck would always say, Israel is God's timepiece. Tell us about it. This is, by the way, why I called the ministry Behold Israel. Look at Israel, watch Israel. Because once you put your eyes on Israel, you understand. First of all, Israel, I believe, is a picture of God's faithfulness. If the Jewish people are still there, that means God is in a business of keeping his promises. Amen. So, it's a source of comfort to those who believe in him. But the second is, when Jesus described all the events of the end times, of the very end, the end of the age, he came in Matthew 24, and in verse 32, and he says, learn this parable from the fig tree. And we know from Hosea 9:10 that Israel, that God's fig tree is the nation of Israel. In fact, God describes, uh, Israel in several different trees. You have the olive tree, you have the fig tree, you have, uh, the vine. But we are speaking of the national, uh, uh, rights of Israel over the land. Then he speaks of it as a fig tree. And it's very interesting that only the resurrection, the rebirth of the nation of Israel back in the land is mentioned here as an important factor in the understanding of the times and the seasons. He says, when you see that, then you know that summer is near. So, once you see that, look, you can see a lot of things that are global phenomena, like earthquakes and famines and pestilences. But then, learn this parable from the fig tree, which means he's not really talking about the fig tree. It's a parable. Look, I mean, and the disciples knew what he's talking about. And so, once you see that the people of Israel miraculously were brought back to their land, the nation of Israel is back in its original homeland, then you know that we're at the very, very last hour, as John mentioned. And we are, ever since 1948, all we can see is one prophecy after the other being fulfilled. And so, Israel is a key to the understanding of the plan of God for every human being on planet Earth. That's why don't feel like, oh, we're dealing too much with Israel. We, this Bible is dealing too much with Israel. I mean, the whole word of God is around that. So, you're not dealing too much with it. It's not an obsession that some Christians have. It's actually wisdom to understand the times and the seasons.

I see, and I'm going to do it right now. I seize every opportunity I can to, to say what I'm about to say regarding what Amir has just said. Uh, and I, and, and I say this, when, when we're speaking with our friends up in the north of Israel, I'll make sure I always mention to them that if the God of the Bible does not keep his promises to Israel as given in the Bible, remember he says in Jeremiah and Deuteronomy and many places, his, his relationship and his covenant with Israel is eternal, everlasting. That's what he says. He said that to Abraham forever. So, watch this. If God does not keep his promises to Israel, you and I have no hope of salvation. You have no hope of eternal life. If God breaks his promises with Israel, this is why any Christian that believes that Israel has no right on its land, insults God. In other words, he's saying, I don't believe that you are a God that keepeth his covenant and his promises. Once you believe in the right of the Jewish people over the land, and it's not because they're so special, they're so good for themselves, by themselves, for things that they did. No. God actually said that in spite of who you are, after all the horrible things that you may have done, yet I am going to be faithful. And through the process of gathering you and bringing you back to your land, my name will be sanctified. And that's what God cares about, his name.

You know, um, it is so, it is such an important thing. And, uh, in, in fact, I'm going to, I'll, I'll get Sean, if you're back there, if you can get ready, uh, to cue that up. I see his thumb going up in the air. You guys, uh, if I were to say to you, uh, is it right or is it wrong to hate black people? What would you say? Wrong. Is it right or is it wrong to hate white people? Wrong. Is it right or wrong to, to hate any color in between? It's wrong. Then this issue of a Jew, like we talked about last night, anti-Semitism is rising. People aren't speaking out against it. The norm, the right answer would be, it's wrong to be like this, isn't it? Weird. It shows you that there's a demonic spirit afoot. Exactly. And as Israel is God's timepiece, and let's remember, the Old Testament prophets announced that the Gentiles, we, and Paul references it in Romans, we've been grafted in. So, we better be careful that we don't boast against the very root because the Gentiles have been brought into the promises of Israel, right? So, when we have these guys running around, replacement theology guys, they are an offense to the word of God. They're offending the Holy Spirit. They're reinterpreting scripture. Many of you, I've talked to you in the foyer. Many of you have been polluted by some of these thinkers, very famous people. If I name some of their names, you might be so caught up in a personality cult following them, you'd get up and walk out of here if I told you who they were because you esteemed them more. You need to be very careful when they say, well, you know, Israel, they forfeited the promises of God. These profound professors and famous pastors of these American churches, they are lying against the truth. Your Bible's crystal clear on this issue. So much so that here is a guy, I don't know if this man is a believer or not. I, I have no knowledge of this man's personal life whatsoever. Yet, he's done something recently that is viral now on the internet. I want you to see it. And he calls it the Israel Test. The Israel Test. How many of you have seen it? The Israel Test. Okay. For those of you haven't, hang on to your seats. And let's dim the lights.

How do you respond to people who excel you in invention, creativity, and wealth? Do you envy them? Do you feel their success somehow diminishes you, or do you admire what they've achieved and try to emulate it? These questions sum up what I call the Israel Test. In the 1880s, European Jews settled in Mandate Palestine and wrought an agricultural miracle in that desolate territory, then sparsely populated by a few score thousand Jews and a couple hundred thousand Arabs. The Jewish settlers drained malarial swamps, leached salt from the soils, terraced the barren hills, and planted millions of trees. They massively expanded the capacity of the land and enabled it to support a substantial Arab population. In the two decades between 1921 and 1943, Jews quadrupled the number of enterprises, multiplied the number of jobs by a factor of 10, and increased the level of capital investment a hundredfold. Far from displacing Arabs, they provided the capital for a major expansion of Arab farms and enabled a sevenfold rise in Arab population by 1948 to a level of 1.35 million, the largest in the long history of Palestine. In other words, the Arabs came to what would soon be the state of Israel because of the Jews. By comparison, Transjordan, now known as Jordan, with the same geological endowment and four times the land, but no Jews, was able to sustain a population density only one-tenth of the population density of Palestine. Crucial to Israel's accomplishments were world-leading technological advances in the recovery of water through desalinization, drip irrigation, and sewage recycling. Over the past 50 years, Israel has increased its population tenfold, its agricultural production sixteenfold, and its industrial production fiftyfold, while actually reducing net water consumption by 10%. Since 1948, this huge expansion of effective water resources enabled the land to support not only more Jews but also millions more Arabs. Today, the state of Israel, with its astonishing achievements in computer science and other high-tech fields, distills both the genius of the Jews and the misdirected anger of the failed states that surround her. The great divide in the Middle East is not between Arab and Jew, but between admiration of achievement along with the desire to replicate it, and envy accompanied by violent resentment. People who admire success, who pass the Israel Test, tend to be wealthy and peaceful. People who resent achievement, who fail the Israel Test, tend to become poor and violent. So again, how do you respond to people who excel you in invention, creativity, and wealth? Do you envy them? Do you feel their success somehow diminishes you, or do you admire what they've achieved and try to emulate it? The Israel Test is the central divide in the world today. How you answer it as an individual, and ultimately how we answer it as a nation, as a test of our own will to triumph over enemies who hate us as they hate Israel for what is best within us. I'm George Gilder, a non-Jew who has passed the Israel Test for Prager University. Join Prager University, subscribe to our YouTube channel, and sign up for free at prageru.com.

Isn't that great? That's pure, that's pure fact. That's pure data. That's pure information. And again, it, it, it, it announces and declares the miracle of God's working. And so, uh, I think it'd be good to apply that in your worldview. I would love, and I know, and Dennis, we, we talked, Prager has talked about how close he is getting that video, uh, to be aired in every university in America. That's his goal. To get that done. They needed five minutes of truth. Amazing.

So, we're going to move on. Big question. This is a big deal, uh, for a lot of people. America in the last days. Um, is America, uh, in the Bible? Where, where do you see America in the last days? I, I think I mentioned that, uh, yesterday when I gave the message, when I look at Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39, verse 13 talks about the merchants of Tarshish and the lions, the young lions of Tarshish. I believe that the merchants of Tarshish are, uh, the European countries. It's Europe in general. And that which gave birth, uh, excuse me, Europe gave birth to America in a sense because America's original, uh, founders, uh, were out of Europe. Um, and that is the young lions. And in America, as it is, uh, uh, depicted in, uh, Ezekiel, uh, 38, is a weak, uh, just by watcher or bystander in the world events that are happening in, in the Middle East. And just like Saudi and others, is just maybe criticizing what is going to happen to Israel or what is happening to Israel, but he's not doing anything. So, you're getting that from chapter 38, when the Russian coalition of the Arab nations, Islamic nations, come against Israel. And it says in there in the scripture that there will be those who will say to Russia, to Gog, Gog, the leader, the political military leader of the coalition, have you come to take a spoil? Have you come up against this land of unwalled villages to take a booty or to take their wealth? And translation to modern-day times, which I think we can grasp onto quickly, Russia is advancing, for example, right now in the, well, Crimea is theirs, but they're pushing into Ukraine. And they're testing the West right now. And the West is being tested in a lot of areas right now. And nothing's really being done, really, of significance. And so, um, what, what I see in Ezekiel is a, a UN resolution being filed against Gog, Rosh, Mishak, and Tubal, and this Islamic nation or coalition of nations coming against. The UN is going to say, we protest, we protest. Since when does the UN literally do anything? It's United nothing. It's, it's, it's so, I, I see where he's coming from. That I don't know exactly, except, uh, I believe that, uh, Jonah, Jonah got on board a ship that was headed for Tarsus, was he not? Yes. And many scholars believe that when you study Jonah, that he was actually heading towards, uh, Spain. Spain, correct. Is some of the ancient, uh, archaeologists would render, uh, the regions of Tarsus. Uh, it was a trade route. So, anyway, uh, I, I also believe that, uh, if we had to predict that America is, is about to get weaker and non-relevant, as, uh, the scriptures show here, we don't have to predict that anymore. I think that when the, uh, United Emirates and, and, and Egypt are launching an air strike in Libya, and America is surprised, that speaks volumes. That alone tells me how much, uh, the Middle East is almost completely disconnected from American, uh, real influence. Yeah.

For those of you who don't, who don't maybe understand that, or, or you've cared to ever know that, and I understand if you don't care to know that, um, in the, in, in the Mediterranean, for example, we're, we're on patrol constantly. Do you understand that? We have military there. We have ships there. So, for, for these two nations to come together to go, to go after, uh, this attack, uh, without letting the US know, that's pretty gutsy. Because technically, we could have, we could have shot them down, viewing them as a hostile agent in the Middle East. But they didn't even let us know. Which means the commanders of those two nations' militaries, they didn't even take us into consideration. We have a carrier there, and they didn't even, they didn't even blink at that. That's really, there's something that could not have happened in the last 50 years. And I believe that the entire foreign policy of America of the last 40 years was just completely thrown to the garbage over the past four or five years, single-handedly, by single-handedly. And it's, it's just, it breaks my heart to see a hard work of, of creating such an important coalition, allies that you need, that everybody needs around the world, and just turning the back. I mean, just when they needed you, you were not there. When Mubarak needed you, you were not there. When almost everyone of those people around, when they really needed you, not you. I'm, I'm not blaming you or your tax dollars at work. Exactly. And I could not believe the, the now that the, the reason behind some of the, or most of the decisions that were made over the past four or five years when it comes to foreign policy. When I watched the speech of your, your president, uh, on May 2009 in Cairo, how he almost, uh, bowed down before the Muslim world and, and said that, uh, he is, he's envisioning one day that all, uh, the children of Abraham will mingle together, as in the story of, uh, when Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad held hands and joined in prayer. I, yeah, nearly choke. You can read that online. You can read, uh, his, the transcripts of his speech. That's from Islamic doctrine. But let me say this, I personally do not believe, I know this, you may be mad with me. I personally do not believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim. I believe he favors Islam because he was brought up in it. I believe he has, and I look, I wish I could say that my, my thoughts are original. I sat long with Dinesh D'Souza, and we talked about this. And he, because he's, he has studied Obama's life. And he said, listen, I believe, and when he explained it, it made total sense to me. He said, I don't believe he's a Muslim. I don't believe he's a Christian. I don't believe he has a faith. That's the problem. He has no faith. He said, everything I've studied about the man, his faith is in man, but predominantly literally in himself. He said, Barack Obama is, is a person who has been created by others. People talked to him, people spoke to him, people told him, you should do this, and if you do this, we'll get behind you. Did you know that? Did you know that he's never had a W2 form? I'm not, don't laugh. Seriously. He's never gotten a 40-hour, 40-hour paycheck. Why? Because his life, for whatever reasons, his life has been in a way where people have come to him and said, we want to do this for you. And, and, and so he's got tremendous faith in man, and he has tremendous faith in himself. And when, and, and again, it was at length that, that Dinesh D'Souza explained this to me. I came to agree with him. But he, he acquiesces to Islam because he went to a madrasa. He was schooled in a madrasa. He is familiar with Islam. He speaks parts of Arabic. Uh, so when he was in his element in Cairo, he felt very, very much, uh, you know, at home. Uh, so it's an interesting thing. Look, bottom line, uh, we have the leader right now. Look, if all nations are going to turn their back on Israel, as the Bible says they will, then Obama's the man for the nation at this time. Because what you just said is true. This is the first time in American history where we've turned our back so much on Israel. Why? Because America, as other nations, must unplug from Israel. Now, hear me out. We are not to ever be involved in self-fulfilling prophecies. That's wrong. Abraham tried it. Then, yeah, yes, if a man comes on the scene who's a good man or a good woman to vote for in leadership, it is your biblical Christian incumbent, uh, duty to vote for a good person. So, that's important.

Uh, before we move on to the next one, I, I just want to, uh, say this regarding America in the last days. The economy. Well, yeah, but I mentioned it last night. But, uh, the wheels, the wheels to America's genius productivity, uh, in many areas, not all areas, in many areas, uh, you know, before a light bulb blows up, it shines light, and then it goes into a supernova, and then it's out, right? It gets real bright, and then it goes away. Uh, we had, we were a light, and then we got real bright, and then there's this implosion taking place. Uh, on our watch, the United States has not won a war since World War II. That may come as a shock to you. But we've not won a war since World War II. Don't come to me later and say, Korea. No, legally, we are still at war with Korea. There was a truce. We're still in the state of truce with Korea, okay? We've not won a war since 1945. Having said that, as an American, I can say this. You can't say this, we'll kill you. But I can say this as an American. Our freedom has now been reduced to a perception, not a reality. As a nation, our wealth, uh, is a perception, not a reality. You may find it surprising. Those of you who go to this church, you, you already heard this before. But the poorest person on the planet is not the guy running around the Sahara right now trying to find a worm to eat, or somebody in the jungles of South America with a spear in a hut. He owns his spear, and he owns his hut. The American, average American, is the most indebted, poorest person on the planet because what we have, we don't own. And we are in such debt that we may not be able to pay off what we owe in our lifetime. That makes you worse than poor. You see, a poor man may own his spear, but we don't even own our spear. Thus, our wealth is a perception. And then finally, our military strength is a perception. It's not a reality. See, what do you mean? I thought you just said we're bombing Syria tonight. Understand that our military strength is a perception, not because we don't have the best military pilots and sailors and Marines in the world, not because we don't have the best equipment in the world, because leadership, the leadership is no longer among the generals. It's among the politicians. And in this case, specifically, he has seized the reins of the polit, of the military himself, Barack Obama. You're only as strong in your military as your commander-in-chief. Thus, I will argue with you tonight that our military prowess is a perception. It's not a reality. We could do something in all these areas if we put our hearts and minds to it. But this is a critical thing. We are living off perception.

Yeah, I think you're apologizing too much. I mean, you, you're standing in front of cameras and you're telling your enemy how you're about to fight it. What is it that you don't feel like doing? Why is it better for you not doing that? And you almost, uh, basically telling him how to avoid any confrontation with you. And I believe that one of the worst things that ever happened to the strength and the might of the US military was exactly in August of last year, during the, the threat to bomb Damascus. And then the red line that has been painted. And that was the beginning, again, and again, and again. And, uh, people ask me, so, America, should America have bombed, uh, uh, Damascus? I said, no, America should not have said that he's about to bomb and then not do anything. You know what he's talking about? Do you guys all know that the chemical weapon and the, and all of that? And by the way, you think that Assad destroyed all of his chemical weapons? I, I hope you understand that he may have revealed maybe 40% of what he had. And but now everybody feels great. We have an amazing deal where Syria gave away all of its chemical weapons and it's all destroyed, and we did a great thing without having boots on the ground. Well, well, the show is on. I mean, they understood exactly what's going on. They gave you what you want, which means just a little show of some of their chemical weapons, but they kept most of it. We know exactly where it is. We know it. And you know it. But you can't say anything anymore because it's, it's going to be too embarrassing. And by the way, even now, I'm not impressed with a, a bomb here and a bomb there. You could have destroyed ISIS. When ISIS was small, in fact, ISIS never, ever was on the run. They never hit them from anyone. In fact, you see footage of them driving on those Toyota pickups on the main road of Iraq, I mean, 20, 30, 40 pickups. And you know, it takes one drone, that's what it takes to destroy all of that convoy on its way to behead children in the next village. But the choice was made not to, to, to go on and, and deal with them. And now that monster is lifting up its head right at your doorstep. You know, Winston Churchill once said that when he talked to one of his best friends, Lord Moran, regarding the Nazi problem that was in 1938, before World War II started, he said, over the last five years, we managed to see and deal with the Nazi problem. I have a feeling that we are going to have to choose between, uh, shame and war. My feeling is that we're going to choose shame, and then war will come at our doorstep in, in a much more horrible terms. And the shame was that you, that they sat and negotiated with Hitler. And of course, the war came a couple weeks later, and it was a horrible one. And so, when you deal with those people, and when you are giving up, and when you're caving in, you're actually choosing shame, and you will not void war. War will come, but in a much more adverse terms.

I was, uh, I've been watching news from all over since shortly after I was hatched. And, uh, it grieved me last week, just grieved me to see, you know, because you never see the Joint Chiefs of Staff, our nation's greatest military leaders. You never see them go against the president. They don't, they won't even criticize. Did you know they won't? They won't say anything. That's the protocol. And it was so sad to see, first time I've ever seen such a thing, where, uh, Dempsey and others had to say, there is no victory for the United States against ISIS unless we not only put boots on the ground, but an overwhelming show of force with boots on the ground. Exactly. He, the chairman, completely contradicted the commander-in-chief. You may agree or disagree. I have never, yeah, but I, I, but it's a sad day in America, ladies and gentlemen, that I have never, never have seen such a thing. And so, this is, uh, let's change it. Uh, let's talk about, um, the season, the time, the characteristics of, uh, the Antichrist. Oh, wow. Uh, and because, you know, some people have asked, if these are, if these are, uh, global indicators happening around the world like never before, as we see them tonight, where's the Antichrist? And my only answer to those of you who have asked me privately is, I, of course, I don't know where he is. But if these are the times, then he's certainly alive somewhere. Yeah.

Well, I believe that we're experiencing in this world, um, a lack of leadership all over the world, not only here, it's a global lack of leadership. And who do we see? All the mice come out of their holes right now, you know? You, you can see all Putin is now showing a show of strength. And all the, the terrorist organizations are popping like mushrooms after the rain. All that, you can clearly see that we are dealing with no real leader anywhere around. And that is in preparation for the global acceptance of that person, once the world will desperately say, okay, that's it, we need it. And I, I think, by the way, people ask me all over the world, when I, I go and teach, people ask me, so who do you think the Antichrist is? And I, I take it as an offense because, you mean, I'm not going to be raptured? I'm not going to, I don't have any plans to be left behind. According to what I know from Second Thessalonians, the manner of perdition, this, this person will truly be revealed, his true nature will be revealed only once that restrainer is stepped aside, removed. So, I have the, the, the confidence that he may be alive, but we are not to even, that's right, know his identity. Because if we know the identity, I bet we're left behind. And you don't look for him. Don't look for him and try to figure him out. John F. Kennedy's name equals 666. Don't, don't look for that. Look for Jesus. But I agree with the, and I got to tell you, for, uh, you guys, uh, you can go to JohnWalvoord.org, I think it is, or.com, and you can look at all the research, not on his opinion, but research from the scriptures on these issues. And he who hinders will do so until he's taken out of the way, 2 Thessalonians 2. And then that's a time stamp, exactly. And then only then, can, not beforehand, only then shall that wicked one be revealed, the son of perdition, whom the Lord will consume with the brightness of his coming. Reference to the Antichrist, clearly in context. So, listen, the Holy Spirit is not leaving planet Earth at the moment of the Rapture. It's the Holy Spirit's job, who, by the way, he indwells you, who are the believers, right? To deposit you into the trust of Jesus. That's his job. So, if you want to kind of look at it more like in a child's eye, Jesus comes into the atmosphere in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and, uh, 1 Corinthians 15, beginning at verse 50. And in the atmosphere, the trumpet blows. The dead in Christ are raised. Those who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet them and the Lord in the air. And they then with Christ will fulfill John 14:1-3. Let, let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. For in my Father's house are many mansions. And if it were not so, I would have told you. I go now to prepare a place for you. I go now to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may be also. How does, how does God fulfill John 14? The answer is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, the Rapture. Jesus technically doesn't come. I'm getting ahead of myself, I think, with some of the areas we're going to go to. But Jesus's first coming was to Jerusalem physically. Jesus's second coming will be to Jerusalem physically. Both those events are Hebrew Jewish in context, and they are recorded in the book of Daniel chapter 9, chapter 12. And in between those events is a predominantly, not exclusively, but a predominantly Gentile event. Not exclusively, there's Jewish blood in this Gentile event, where Christ doesn't come to the ground. He comes in the atmosphere. It's an appearing. It's not a coming. He receives the church, the bride of Christ, to himself. He goes back. And by the way, if we understand Old Testament correctly, he goes back with the church, and she is there for a minimum of seven years. Seven years minimum. Which is key. That is very, very clear in scripture. Some of you may hold a post-tribulation Rapture view. You may be surprised to think, or to know that I did at one time. I used to hold a post-tribulation Rapture view. And then you have to, you have to manipulate scripture so much. You start going crazy, unless you believe that it's going to be a bungee thing. It's like, you go up, it's like, and you've got to spiritualize the meaning of scripture. While I, it can't be fulfilled literally, it's got to mean something like this. And you go crazy. But denominations have done this to us, not just a pure reading of the Bible. Now, you want, I, I just want to say that although we will not, not see the Antichrist, hopefully none of us, the mystery of lawlessness is already, already at work. The spirit of the Antichrist is all over. Read 1 John on that. Exactly. So, so we can smell it. We can see it. It's all over. But thank God, we don't have to see him and, and go through what he's about to do.

I like what he just said. Um, and this is how I take one of the key indicators. We talked earlier about Matthew 24, when, when the, remember when the disciples asked Jesus that three-part question, when's the end coming? What's the sign of, sign of your return? And the end of the world? It's amazing. Jesus did not say, you know, watch for the 10 toes of Daniel's statue. He could have. It's in the Bible. He didn't. Watch for Vladimir Putin. He's going to. He didn't say that. Watch for the blood moons. He doesn't say any of this. Well, we'll talk about that next time. No, just, he doesn't say any of these things. Jesus says the most important thing. He says, watch out that nobody deceives you. Many false prophets will come and deceive many. In fact, I love this. He says, and if it were possible, they would deceive even the very elect. Did you hear that? Do you know what that means? You ever have like a, a debate class or something like that, logic? Jesus said, and if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived. You know what that means? Good. Means it's impossible. How cool is that? The deception is going to be so bad that the only ones who will make it are God's people. Old Testament period, church age period, and tribulation saint period. God's people. The Holy Spirit will never let them be deceived by the voice of another false shepherd or a false, uh, Messiah.

So, you brought it up. Let's just throw it out there about what, well, people, I've, um, I've had people over the course, it's probably been like a year now, Pastor Jack, when are you going to talk about the blood moons? I'm not going to. Oh, I wish you would. Not going to do it. Oh, why not? Why not? Don't believe in it. What? There's books on it. John Hagee did a DVD series on it. I'm aware of it. I, I saw it. Oh, and this guy wrote a book about it. And this guy's speaking about it. I know, I know, I know. But I'm not going to. I'm not going to teach on it. You want to know why? Because I can't find it anywhere in the Bible. Oh, no, no. They say the Book of Joel talks about the day when the moon will be turned to blood. Oh, yes, that's right. That's what the guys who wrote the books, they use that verse too. You guys know what we're talking about, the blood moons. First of all, the Bible never talks about multiple moons. Doesn't talk about four blood moons. The Bible talks about the moon turning red like blood. Yes. That's it. That's it. That's not it. Because as someone asked me recently, that's got to be it. That's got to be it. Don't you believe it? I said, no, because, you know what? On that very same day, when the sun, when the moon went down and the sun came up, I had to put my sunglasses on. What's that have to do with anything? Joel says the moon will be turned to blood, and the sun.

will not give its light, and Joel's prophecy is during the tribulation period. Exactly. It's mentioned again in Revelation 16, tribulation period. I'm sorry, Revelation 6, tribulation period. The only thing you can come close to is Peter makes reference of it in Acts 2 when he's describing the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the last days, which began on the day of Pentecost. But Peter doesn't get to see. He saw the tongues come upon men, but he didn't see the moon turn blood. You can't have the moon turn blood and the sun still be shining.

And this is a tragic thing that good men have tripped over. And now their listen, their credibility has been very much damaged because the four, the blood moons are not indicative of cataclysmic or prophetic signs. If they were, God would have called you out. God would have said, "Watch for four moons." Our God is that specific. What do you think? I, I, I think that when the disciples asked asked Jesus, "Master, tell us, what are the signs of the end of the age?" If that would have been a sign, he would have told them that.

Second, I'm, I'm a little bit grieving in my spirit about the fact that people need signs and wonders and the Bible is not enough. I mean, all the warnings and all the the signs and all the things that Jesus himself gave to his own disciples as they were asking about this very issue, these are not enough. We need to see more things. It, it, it grieves me because every few years there's a new trend, there's a new thing. It used to be in 1988, there was one thing, and then then Y2K, and then this and that. It is always something that some people needs some sort of a shot of excitement because the Bible is not enough. Well, I'm saying it's not only enough, it's the most accurate description of the end times, right?

And I, to me, I posted, by the way, on my app in the blog section, and I, right when people started asking me, I said, "I better just put an end to all of this." I posted that article about the coming Blood Moons, special or ordinary. And it's an interesting article written by Dr. Daniel Fauler that was actually posted in the Answers in Genesis. He's an astronomer, is he not? He is, and an, and he is also a Christian. And, and what he wrote there was phenomenal. I mean, he said the total lunar eclipses aren't that unusual. And he also said that there will be 85 total lunar eclipses in the 21st century. So now here we are, choosing four because of the way they come, and we build a whole theory around it. I'm saying, "Don't look for the moon, don't look for the sun or the stars. Look up, for your Redeemer is drawing near." I, I, I don't see why we need extra, extra things to look at when all the things that we need to, um, are all here in this book.

Well, and the scary thing is, when it doesn't happen. Let's say, uh, you would think that the whole world would have a chance to see the four blood moons. They don't. You have to live in certain areas to see them. The other thing is this, um, don't you think it should be visible to Israel if it's such a big deal? The other thing is this, if something doesn't happen on that day that it turns red. By the way, I got up in the morning. I don't know about you. I got up in the morning. I looked at it. I got up at about 2:30 in the morning. It was brown. We couldn't see anything. You didn't have one at all in Israel. So, but, but listen, the, uh, but here's, here's the danger. Here's the danger. If nothing happens, and then now you have these 50 days of war that just took place. That's it. That's a fulfillment. Yeah, but we had it in 2014 also. Well, then, but the point is this is, uh, oh, now you have to grasp at to fulfill it. When, but you know, this is going on in the Middle East. When is something not going on in the Middle East? You know what I'm saying? You start grasping for things. This is, it's kind of like that guy, you know, that crazy guy that said the Rapture was going to be on a certain day, not too long ago. And, uh, and it didn't happen. And then he said, "Well, it was only going to happen for those who could, uh, special people." And, and it's, oh, come on, you know.

So we didn't spend much time on the Antichrist, though. He's brilliant, super arrogant. The Bible's kind of funny, unless you can help me out in the Hebrew part. Daniel talks about him. The Old King James, I think, says that he's a stout fellow who speaks pompous words. Um, I don't know if that means he's short and and chunky. I get the word pompous. But, um, he, uh, had does not regard the God of his fathers. So some people have said, "Well, he must be Jewish then." We don't know. But it does make sense that the Jews would receive a Messiah that's, that's, uh, a Jewish descent. That, yeah, a Jewish descent. But we don't know for sure. As far as I know, um, he will be incredibly, uh, as I said, brilliant, persuasive. He's going to be, he's going to have the oratory skills of probably Satan himself. He is almost, in a sense, Satan incarnated. Where you think of Satan, think of Satan inside of him, working his hands like a puppet. Think of Satan. I, I kind of like this part, it's kind of creepy. Satan has just, remember Satan, he's just kind of like, [Music] drooling. "Jesus, if you'll just bow down and worship me, I'll give you all the kingdoms of the world." Did you know that was a legitimate offer? Satan wasn't joking. But you could see him kind of drooling with this demonic glee. You're TV, you say, you, you say, "Oh, you're reading into it." No, I'm not, because God says that that's exactly what Ezekiel and Isaiah, through the Lord, says that's exactly what Satan was wanting. He says, "I will be like the Most High. I will be like God in heaven. I will exalt myself above him. I will have my throne in the midst of the north. I'll be like God." He's a, he's a freak for this, okay?

So the Antichrist, imagine the world will, a man speaking. The man will be drunk on power. And when Satan uses somebody, by the way, he kind of makes their way strewn path when he's done with them. The wheels begin to come off their chariot, so to speak, because he's done with them. Satan's going to use this man. He's going to prop up that Antichrist spirit that John talks about. People will worship him. And he, and the man's going to be thinking, "Isn't this great? I'm, I'm so something." Behind him, inside of him, he's going to be possessed by Satan. Satan is going to be peeping through this man's eyes. "They're worshiping me. They're worshiping me." That's as close as Satan can get. He will possess a human, yes. And he will somehow be sickly satisfied with this perverse world that's worshiping this man. But Satan will be peeping through his eyes, is getting excited about it. It's so sick. It's the ultimate idol, in my opinion, where Satan is inhabiting not a gold or porcelain or a a wooden image. Satan now is inside a human. The dwelling place of God. Think of it. A human being. God desires to live in you. Did you know that? That's why when you give your heart to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit moves inside of you, and you'll never thirst again, Jesus said. If that happens. So Satan knows this, and he's, he's going to seize this opportunity. MH. He's all about deception. In fact, people are asking me, "How come, uh, the Antichrist would want his mark to be on the hand and on the forehead?" Well, if in the book of Deuteronomy, where the Jewish people are, you know, they were supposed to, uh, put the a remembrance of God on their hand and be on their forehead. That's exactly what he wants to do, in a sense.

But I also want to remind you that if it, if it's Satan that is inhabiting that body, we shouldn't be surprised that every word that comes out of his mouth is is a lie. Because even in Revelation 20, we know that the whole business of Satan is deception. In Revelation 20, it says that when, when, uh, I saw the angel coming down from heaven, and then he, he said, "He laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and he bound him into the bottomless pit, and he shut him up, and he set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished." So for a thousand years, Satan is down there. So he will deceive the nations no more. But then it goes in verse 7, it says that, "Now when the thousand years have expired, the end of the Millennium, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth." And believe it or not, people will still follow him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Isn't that amazing? A thousand years he was not there. Jesus is reigning. We're with him in this world. And the minute he comes out of his prison for a short time, he already recruits people. And it's an amazing declaration. The Bible lets us in on the depravity of the human heart, exactly. Even when Satan is bound for a thousand years. The reason why your Bible says that Christ will rule with a rod of iron during the Millennium, that's not you. You know, you're going to be with him. But the mortals that are living, Isaiah says, a man, if he dies at the age of 100, will be like a child dying. Longevity will increase among those not you, among the mortals, those living in the Millennium age. Yet Satan be bound. The, the, the man, there will still be sin during the millennial reign. People will still sin because it's in the human heart, isn't it? You won't be, you'll be glorified. You'll have your resurrected body. But the world living, and in fact, as Amir pointed out, at the end of the thousand years, can you imagine a culture that's tired of all these benefits, and they, they see Jesus sitting on his throne in Jerusalem, and they get fed up with it? "I'm tired of that. Hey, there's this new thing coming out. This guy, this guy, this guy says he can do better than that." And they're going to go for it. Bible says so. But it won't last long. Read Revelation 21 and 22. It's very exciting. Yep. It's very wonderful.

Real quick, before we move on, uh, the, uh, the manifestation of this age in which we're living in, this, the spirit, the spirit of Antichrist, we're watching it. I believe you and I are living it right now. And I, and, and remember, Satan is a gradualist, you know that. He doesn't come on the scene and go, he comes up, "Hey, how you doing?" Would you agree with me? The New York accent, as you, would you agree with me that not only the world, I mean, not only America, but the world, if you know some geopolitical news going on, there's a spirit of lawlessness afoot. It's not just America. It's not just our border issues. Leaders who swear an oath to uphold the law are the very ones ones breaking the law. The governor of the state breaking the law, not upholding the constitution of the state. This is not just happening in California. It's happening in the states. It's happening among mayors. It's happening among law enforcement, judges. I have to be careful. We have a state supreme judge here tonight, but he's a good guy. I may need him someday, the way days are going. But not him, but others. Amazing time. So a spirit of lawlessness is afoot. And Satan, the Bible says, well, Satan, the Bible says that when, right before he's taken away and cast into this pit, I believe it's either Isaiah 14 or Ezekiel 28, it says that we will say, "Is this the one who shook the world and destroyed by weakening the nations?" Him, because, you know, the Bible says there's been no more beautiful creation made by God than Lucifer. He's the most beautiful. The world mortals are going to see him, or we will see him, whatever it is. The context, this judgment taking place, is this the one that did shake the nations and weaken them? Do you see the spirit of nations being weakened? Borders are dissolving in Europe. They're dissolving here. Politics, people are, it's a global distrust of leadership. Big things are happening. It's an amazing time. Yep. Yep.

Okay, um, what's next? What's next? When we see what's happening around the world, like tonight, we see regarding Syria. Can't think of Syria without thinking about Damascus. We see what's happening with, uh, the very enemies of Israel, and I quote, "Let's destroy them and push them off into the Mediterranean so that they're no longer a nation," being said. Um, what's next? We have a lot of verses that we could go to. What's possibly next? What's next? Well, again, I, I, I think that in the, in the understanding of Bible prophecy, after having Ezekiel 36 and Ezekiel 37, everybody's waiting. EZ, which has been, which has been fulfilled. Have been fulfilled. That's past tense now. Yes. Now we are awaiting Ezekiel 38 and 39. Now, of course, everybody's, you know, we are always talking about it, but it's coming. You know, everything that Ezekiel 38 is talking about, I'm not even talking about 36 and 37, which are coming before. For they have been already fulfilled. They're fulfilled. Those chapters are. Everything in the first passage of Ezekiel 38 is now coming to, uh, its place. So we are no longer in the fulfillment of 36 and 37, awaiting 38 and 39. We are in the beginning of that chapter, as far as I'm concerned. Yeah. What, what I tried to do Sunday morning was, of course, showing each and every one of those countries that are mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and its preparation for that very day. And they're all ready. The only thing we need now, I said, is some sort of a trigger, some sort of a of a the, the little match that will start the fire. So, but, okay, good. Let's pause because that trigger. So something, we know, we know that, uh, let's kind of play with this for a second. The trigger, you mean something that sets it off. So we know from Ezekiel, it appears that this man who has the title Gog, Gog, the term, by the way, represents a man who both leads a nation and a military. It's, it's interchangeable. He's a leader of an entire nation and its power. So it's not a democracy. It's interesting. H, like we know that this man is a, a ruler. It says in the Ezekiel that an evil thought will arise in his mind. And at the same time, it says that God, God, God will put a hook in the jaw of this man, Gog, and turn him around. It says, God says, "I'll put a hook in his jaw. I will turn him around, and I will pull him into Israel." It kind of sounds like he's not so exactly willing to go, but something happens. Amir called it a trigger, whereby he will see himself now with this thought, "I've got to do this. I got to go." It's interesting because Russia is aligning itself on the wrong side of victory. Russia is aligning itself with this Islamic coalition of nations. Make no mistake about it. Vladimir Putin would destroy Islam in five minutes if he could. He hates it. But sometimes it's a useful tool to him. I guarantee, I, Vladimir Putin is not going to lift a finger to stop ISIS. He hates ISIS. But ISIS is an American problem, and he likes it like that. You see? So there's a dynamic going on that very much fits Ezekiel, possibly that this nation of the north will be pulled into the Middle East. They'll be committed. It's interesting that Russia, I know with Iran, it has a, a defense protection agreement with Iran. Could something happen? What's the trigger? Could it be Syria? Syria buys a lot of weaponry, as Iran does, from Russia. Something's going to, yes, set it off. I, I believe that ever since Israel found natural gas, and we're talking about trillions of cubic feet of natural gas that we found, ever since then, the interest of the Russians in in Israel has been skyrocketing. In fact, a couple of years ago, a year and a half ago, Vladimir Putin was landing in Tel Aviv on his way to meet with the Prime Minister. And we were sure he's going to talk about Iran or Syria. These are the most, um, burning, uh, issues on on the table. So he talked about 10 minutes about Iran, and 15 minutes about Syria, and then two hours about gas and oil. And when we look at the passengers manifest on on his plane, because obviously they're entering our country, you're not going to get in trouble saying anything, are you? No, I'm already, uh, in trouble. No, it's okay. But when we looked at the passengers manifest, we, we were shocked. These are not people from the, uh, intelligence or defense, uh, uh, uh, branch. They were all businessmen in the oil and the gas industry. All he cared about now, he came to Israel with a deal on the table. "You give me a stake in your gas, and I will no longer support Iran." It was plain and simple. Would you do business with the KGB? No. All right. So Netanyahu said, "I'll get back to you." And we, not long ago, announced that we are going to partner with an Australian, uh, company, and not a Russian one. There you go. And ever since, the collaboration with the Iranians is is going all the way up. And Israel is very careful not to, uh, make the Russians more angry than we need, because we were about to sell the Ukrainians some interesting types of weaponry. Um, however, I can tell you that I believe that an interest in in coming to take plunder, to steal something, is already there. I believe that the, the only thing he's waiting for is a crisis, is a political crisis that will result from a, a, a military action that Israel might be taking in order to prevent something that might come from Damascus. I truly, as I said on Sunday morning, I believe that our eyes should be fixed on Damascus, because now the Bible doesn't say how is it that Damascus will become a heap of ruins. It doesn't say that Israel is going to attack it. It says that Damascus will just be destroyed, rendered uninhabitable, mind you. So you might say, "Well, oh, Amir, that happened 400 years ago." The Bible says, "No man will live there again." Yeah, it never happened, by the way. I mean, the city never really totally became a heap of ruins. It's not a, it's going to, though. Remember we talked about the fact that Isaiah 46 says, "Declaring the end from the beginning, from ancient times, things that are not yet done." Ezekiel was telling us that God is telling us through the Bible prophecy, things that are not yet done, things that even in our lifetime, they haven't happened yet. And so I truly believe there's, by the way, a lot of the Israeli, um, army was preparing for a lot of scenarios regarding Damascus. "What are we going to do if a threat from Damascus will arise?" Well, we have several options. One option is to help the rebels destroy Damascus and not to do it ourselves. Another option is to somehow, uh, create an explosion of their own weapons. You, I don't know if you know that, but Damascus is sitting, is sitting on a huge storage of weapons. Pray tell, how did they get there? I think that Colin Powell, what nation, Secretary of State, used Israeli photographs to go to the United Nations to show weapons of mass destruction being transported from Iraq into Damascus. You see, um, you know, exactly. You know, and I know that there was weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Your president could not have said a word about it as it happened because of him being super responsible not to reveal anything while that weapon was still in danger of being captured by terrorists. I don't, if you know that, but in a little tiny ad on CNBC, tiny one, after they bash President Bush for years for going into Iraq and finding nothing there, it was August of 2008 that there was a tiny little ad that says, "550 metric tons of yellowcake were evacuated from Iraq." You know what yellowcake is? This is the seed of high-grade uranium for weapons. And in 2004, 2006, what President Bush was asked, he could not have revealed that because, God forbid, someone is going to, you know, get and put his hand on it. But now, of course, we can reveal that that Canada bought that yellowcake in order to find a solution for it. Canada found a home. Canada can use it for its nuclear power. In, in 550 tons of, of, of yellowcake has been airlifted from a secret place in Iraq out of the country. But that's nothing. That's 2008. What about 2002? Just when the war started, we provided the United States footage of all the trucks with all the biological and, pause right there. Hold your thought. I want you to pick up on that. Pause right there. Listen, listen. Be honest, everybody. Be honest. How many of you heard back in those days, uh, from Code Pink and other congressmen and senators and people on the street, the, the protest things like this, "Bush lied, kids died"? Did you hear that? Raise your hand if you heard that. Look at that. "Blood for oil." And, and remember, of course, because, you know, when you're, when you're the president, you, you get it, and you, you should get it. But it was easy to say, "Bush lied." But remember, so did Hillary Clinton. So did John Kerry, at the time, who was a senator. Oh, and by the way, so did the entire Congress. Oh, and by the way, so did the entire Parliament of England. Did you know that? Oh, and of Spain, and of 38 other nations, when they saw the data. Did you know that? It's easy to say, "Bush lied, and kids died," because all of them approved, and all of them saw the data. Amir and I spoke with a person who was responsible for gathering the photographs to give to Colin Powell. And that gentleman said to me, five minutes after I met him, "Oh, so you're from America? Hey, I have a question for you. Why is your president lying?" Excuse me, this is way back when. That's an Israeli. Welcome. Yeah, that's how they know how to. They're very nice. They don't beat around the bush. They go right through the bush. So, "Hi, how are you? Welcome, night. Thank you for being here. Uh, why is your president lying?" Excuse me, I provided, uh, your, your Secretary of State for the world photographs of the weapons of mass destruction being transported. We know exactly where they are. Your president knows where they are. The entire coalition of nations knows where they are. And now they're all backing away from it." Amir just answered the question. It's public knowledge now. They couldn't divulge where it was because they feared that it would get into the hands of terrorist organizations. You guys, Damascus, I'm wondering if somebody got near to Damascus with a match, if it ain't going to go up, because the, the mindset of, of that part of the world is, "Let's hide all this really volatile, dangerous stuff under a nursery, uh, in, in a school." Nobody will ever find it there. So think of it. Damascus is sitting on a powder keg. In storage, there's St. What if somebody tripped over electrical wire? I mean, for crying out loud. Amazing stuff. Amazing things. Yeah. So we don't necessarily need to fly over and this. No, no. We need just to send a little box of matches. So how about this, just for time's sake, um, keep your eye on Isaiah 17, keep your eye on Ezekiel 38, uh, Psalm 83. Uh, I like preempting all that. I hope is Isaiah 26:19-21. Isaiah 26:19-21. I hope that preempts the whole thing. You can go look and later and find out what that's all about.

Before we kind of begin to wrap this up, it's 8:30, um, 8:22 something. Um, God has been really good to us in so many ways to all of us, you guys. And, um, one of the nights we were in Israel, we were sitting down, there were four of us, and we're having coffee. And, uh, real coffee. Real coffee. Oh, it's true. Starbucks tried there many times and went out of business because they have real coffee in Israel. And so, um, the, the gentleman that I'm with, he gets his text, he's looking, and he texts back, and then he makes a phone call, and he looks at me and he smiles, and he shuts, uh, the call off. And he says, uh, "For a long time, we have been, we had a contest to name, to give a name came to our next generation of fighter jets. And we do this in this country. And so there was a contest, and I'm responsible for finalizing the name chosen. I, it's ultimately my decision." And he said, "I first contest, the names came in. I didn't like any of the names." So I said, "Do think harder. Think." So the military, to the Air Force, they were thinking, thinking, and thinking about names. And the second attempt, he didn't like any of the names. And I don't, the gentleman, was it the big man called that night, the commander of the Air Force? What, what's his name? It's public information, but that guy that was at that time. That's right. Which is an interesting last name, but doesn't that mean not a good thing? Well, depends how you're looking at it. Was the, obviously the copper snake that, uh, yeah, yeah, but it was a, remember they got healed if they looked at it. Okay, okay. You don't have to worship the snake. Hello. So he, um, he says, uh, "I gave, I didn't like the names at all. Canceled it. And I gave Netanyahu the name of the of what the plane will be." And he said, "You'll be the first non-Israeli to hear the name." I go, "Yeah." And Amir will give you the translation. But he said, "I've named it the Adir." I go, "Okay, what are you talking about?" And he said, "We're going to be receiving the F-35 from you. In fact, it, it will be arriving, uh, in like about 14 months from now in Israel, if you will fix all the problems in it." Well, here's the cool thing. It doesn't matter because, because Israel, Israel orders it with hardly anything on it. That's true. That's true. Listen, they ship, they get the planes shipped over there, and top secret, they do all the avionics and they beef up the planes from the beginning. The point is this, the name was given, and it took months before the name came out in the public. But when he told the commander, the general of the Israeli Air Force, he said, "I'm naming it this." He said, "You can't name a plane this because it's too, it's too fantastic. It's too strong. It's too sacred. It's, it's boasting." He told him, "It's just boasting. You're rubbing, you're rubbing our strength in the nose of our enemies." And he said, "And that's exactly why we're going to have the name." And so it's going to be the, the F-35 Adir. And Adir is a means great. It's one of the attributes of God. "How great are you, Lord?" "Great." "How great is your name?" In the Hebrew, "How great is your name?" And so when he told me the meaning, he goes like this. He goes, "Listen, the great name of God, the one who rules the heavens. He says, we will rule the heavens with this. And he said, we want all of our enemies to know this. It's a terrifying name." And I thought, "Wow." So it is. That's that's exciting stuff. You didn't know that, but it's public now, so you can know. But, um, oh, yeah. Okay. So we end with this. What, uh, questions? Yeah, we can do questions. But I want to listen. We've talked about stuff. And these last two nights, what from you, what should the Christian be doing at a time like this? WOW. First, first of all, I believe that, uh, more than ever before, these are the days that we should search our hearts to see where we're walking. How is our walk with the Lord? Are we sure that we are saved? Yep. Are we sure that once we go out and the Rapture takes place, we'll be taken? If we don't have that assurance, and something is wrong with, with our lives at this point. But beyond that, I believe that more than ever before, I loved what you said yesterday when you introduced once again the call ministry. I think more than ever before, this is what we need to do everywhere. And it starts at home. Yes. Mhm. At home. I mean, our children, and our parents, and our brothers and sisters. And it goes beyond it to our working place and our school. And it goes be, there is, if there is someone that is of your close circle of people, and he has no clue you're a Christian, there is something big and terribly wrong with it. Now, that may have been okay so far, but this is it. I always say that we were given the Gospels. That's the thing that gives us eternal life. Now, we're not out there to just take it only to ourselves. God gave us a whole box full of Gospels. Our job is to give it to people. Now, whether they take it or not, it's their story. But our job is to give it to them. And so this is it. The Gospel should be given. The Gospel should be proclaimed. And before you do that, make sure that you yourself obey the Gospel and understand it, and then go out and proclaim it. And, and, and, and, and I truly see, I don't know why, I truly see a form of mini revival in these coming days, or these coming days, as far as the last days, here in America, for the sake, for the sake of all the good things that this nation has, uh, done in God's business. There's no other nation that, uh, served God the way this nation did. Did. And there's no other n, other nation that spread the Gospel the way this nation did. In fact, as I travel around the world, I get the, more than once, I get the, the, the, the response that of American missionaries, yeah, that are saying, "God is calling us to go back home to be missionaries in our home country." This is it. Yes. So, um, there has to happen. It has to happen. This church, you need to enlarge it a little bit. We're going to see an explosion of of people coming because, you know what? You're not the only ones that wants to know if the end is coming. Every human being feels that the Earth is burning under our feet right now. Now, once you give them the hope, because they're afraid, give them the hope. You see, in, in First Thessalonians 5, it ends up, "Then encourage one another." That's with those things. It's not about being fearful. It's about, I mean, God, prophecy is all about the hope that we have, and not the fear that we should be, uh, going through. That's right. We are not destined to the wrath of God. Yet, this world is going to experience the wrath of God. So we better tell people how to escape the wrath of God. We better give them the Passover. We better give them that Passover Lamb that will cause God to pass over them. And so we are in that business now, and more than ever before, in the most serious way ever. Yeah. So listen tonight, if that's you, as a Christian, you're saved, but you can't be content with the fact that you're saved, just you. You're saved. Jesus said that the fields are white unto harvest, and that the days are getting darker. But as we said last night, Jesus said, "Do the work now while it's a day." We have so many amazing opportunities still. Our country is messed up, but it's still the best place on the planet to be. We have, we have tremendous freedoms. And I pray that there'd be a sense of desperation and urgency in all of our hearts. And that tonight, you would, if you, if you are not sure of Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, look, if you have to guess tonight, then you don't know Him. If you have thoughts in your mind like, "Well, I hope so," then you don't know Him. God doesn't deal with, can you imagine being in a family and you think, think you might be one of the kids? That's, that's abuse. That's abuse. God's not like that. If you are a Christian, you know it. Look, one of the manifestations of knowing that you're a Christian is how disgusted you are with your lack of faithfulness to the Lord, because you love Him. He's always in your thoughts. You're always talking to Him, even when you don't even think like you're talking to Him. You're always conscious of Him. You know it. And then there's some of you, well, you know, I don't know if that's you tonight. You need this. Maybe this is for you. Now, for you to save, remember, it's a salvation. Comes as you open up your heart and determine, I, I will now to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior. You can do that right now as I'm speaking to you, right where you're at. You can be telling Jesus right now, "I want to know that I'm Your child. I want to know that my sins are forgiven. I want to know now." And all over the world, I think people are, I don't know if you know that, but last night people watched this even in Africa. And so I would say everyone, all, all over the world, this is an invitation. Absolutely. It's not religion. It's not some system of practice. It's not some association you have with a group of good people, moral people, or a religious person. It's not the icon you're wearing around your neck. Have you bowed the knee of your heart to say, "Jesus, I'm asking You to move into my heart, the Living God who died on the cross for my sins. I'm asking You to forgive me now." You may be a profound skeptic right now. You may be somebody who you think you've locked yourself safe in some form of science, and that's what you're, you think science has explained God away, and yet you know that's not true. And God right now is taking down those walls that you've built up. They're just straw, and He's speaking to your heart about sin. He's convicting you that you need Him. The Bible tells us that if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and confess that truth with your mouth, you shall be saved. But, but how much money do I keep? Your money? What, what do I do? Nothing but the works of God, which are what Jesus said, "This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom God has sent." Amen. The thief on the cross did that, and you can do that. Before we have, before we have, uh, some questions, let's pray right now. Maybe you're, maybe you're on the cusp right now of this moment. You would pray this prayer: "Dear Lord Jesus, I proclaim You now as Lord and Savior of my life. I believe, based on Your Bible, that You raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Father, that He died on the cross for my sins, that He's my hope of eternal life. I'm a sinner, and I need saving. I need a new life. I want a new life. Come into my life. Save me now, and may I follow You all the days of my life. Life. Yes, if my life ends today, or I die of old age, or the trumpet I hear in the calling up, I determine now to follow You, to be a follower, a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen." Amen. And if you've prayed that prayer, we'd love to hear from you. We want to make sure no matter where you're at or where you're from, or those of you watching right now online, we know there's been some that are watching from England and from Africa, but find a Bible-believing church. And if you don't have a Bible-believing church, then, uh, obviously, we're connected right now via internet TV, and you can join us and many other great churches online. But we'd love to hear from you. Are there any questions right now, uh, at all? Yes, and Victor, can you be loud? I know you could be loud, Victor, but can you be loud? Temple. Oh, the temple. The talk of the temple. Didn't even touch on that. Well, first of all, the Third Temple is one of the three things that many Jews are hoping for: the resurrection from the dead, the coming of the Messiah, and the establishment of the Third Temple. However, we must understand that for the believers, I don't see us even seeing the Third Temple for two reasons. A, this, according to what we understand from the scriptures, is going to be a house where the Antichrist will go into and declare himself as God. Two, when Christ comes back, and His feet are standing on Mount of Olives, and we come with Him, the earthquake that is going to completely part Mount of Olives into two will destroy anything that can possibly stand on Mount Mariah at that time. So the Third Temple is not for the believers. It's, don't put it on your bucket list. You're not going to see it. It's not an experience for you. It, if it's anything, it is part of the agenda of Satan to deceive Israel and the nations. The, the interesting thing is, there's a, there's a large group of people though, right now in Israel, desiring the temple, wanting they, the artifacts of the temple, the reconstruction temple devices, correct? They are serious about it. It's called the Temple Institute. It's in Jerusalem. There are tours over there. People go. And in the early days, we used to go there until we realized that we're actually watching people hurting themselves in a sense, because we know it is a wrong thing. Now, how are you going to tell that to people who are super excited about it? They think it's the best thing ever. Now, um, but I do want you to to understand that when you pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and when you pray for the salvation of Israel, your prayer should be that as many as possible should not even be there to see the Third Temple. The Third Temple is probably the worst news ever to the Jewish people, because when the Antichrist is going to rise, two-thirds of Israel are going to die eventually throughout that tribulation. That is worse than the Holocaust. So as far as I'm concerned, the Third Temple, what starts at a great hope will be the most horrible disappointment, and in fact, the most terrible experience the nation of Israel will ever go through. Jesus said in Matthew 24 that He will perpetrate the abomination of desolation, exactly in the temple. The Antichrist will. So let our, let's set our hearts on the fourth one, when Christ comes back, and He establishes, and He sits on the throne of David. This is the temple we will see, and we are longing to see. There's a hand on the aisle. Yeah. What is a good place in Israel that we can send our tithes to help? What is, what, what is a good place in Israel that we can send our tithes? Uh, it depends on what you want to achieve. Uh, can I say something? Well, I am going to, [Applause] there's a lot of, um, Christians around the world, and I hope I'm not going to offend anyone, but I'm expert in it. A lot of Christians that are, the goodness of their heart, donate to things like the Christian Jew Foundation and all of those things, Rabbi Xain and all of that. I don't know if you know that, but these organizations prohibit the, uh, gospel to be proclaimed. Now, you think as a Christian, I'm, I'm doing a great thing. What you're doing, actually, you are giving the money of the saints, not to promote the work of the Lord, but the works of men. What I'm trying to say is that if you want to give any hope to the Jewish people in Israel, somehow find someone that that is in the business of promoting the gospel, because peace will only come when the Prince of Peace will come, and they can only find their peace in their, uh, in their Messiah. So we don't need the money of the Christians for more schools or kindergartens. This is the job of the Israeli government. You need to make sure, get them the word. We give them the Lord. And so having said that, it's, I believe the Holy Spirit can show you someone or some organization that is dealing with printing Bibles, with printing, uh, uh, uh, brochures and pamphlets and, and the distribution of those things, and witnessing to Jewish people. It's important that you understand that I believe that the money of the saints should go to for, for the work, work of our Father, and not anything else. The business of our Father, and not the business of other people. Now, do I think that Israel doesn't need help? I think Israel might need help, but let the wealthy Jews build hospitals, and let the Christians promote the gospel. There's no doubt. The American, the, I'm glad you said that. The Jewish community in America needs to step up for Israel. They really do. We've talked about this before. Many Jews, not all, thank God, but many Jews in America, they don't have much of an interest for Israel because, as an old friend of ours told us once, "No wonder why they don't help us. They're in the promised land." And that's when we were walking down, like, you know, Rodeo Drive or something. They wanted to see it, and they saw all this going on. Well, this is paradise for them. Why should they care about Israel? But, no, it's really important that we understand that the, the business of the Christians should be to promote the gospel. And to promote the gospel is not to convert the Jews. You know, the word "convert" in the Jewish mindset is a horrible one. You know, Jesus never said, "Convert the Jews." He said, actually, to the Jews, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." For the Kingdom of God is at hand. What the Jew needs is, he started well with believing in one God. He just went off. All of us have gone astray. Remember Isaiah 53? He needs to repent and turn around and go back to the belief of the God of his fathers. Yeah. And we need to, this is hard for us to swallow. Um, we think in Crusade mentality, which is very unique. The rest of the world doesn't do this. The most effective witnessing, I think, of Yoni, for example, or Moshe, and I'm thinking of Rita right now, where she's at, or some others that I, yes, the great, great form of evangelism to Jewish people is what I would just say, friendship evangelism. And going there because when, when we have a chance to talk with Jewish people, I have to tell you, this is going to sound corny to you, but when I'm talking to a Jewish, Jewish person, there seems, I feel almost a sense of like, super-duper clarity and anointing. It's not me. It's the fact I'm talking to a Jew. God's in that, and He's using this Gentile Portuguese nut to provoke them to jealousy. How do I know? Because I've talked with Jewish people like this. Some of them have come to the Lord. Some are thinking about it. Some asked this recently down by, uh, Mada, "Is there any way that the two of you could talk to us more about the Bible and about what you're saying because it makes sense?" Well, that relationship has been being formed over some years, nourished for years. Yes. So if you know any Jewish people, don't give him John 3:16. He doesn't. Don't. Thank you. If you listen, know how to witness to a Jewish person from the Old Testament, then when they start to open up, you ask them, "Do you mind if I read something from Matthew?" Levi, a good Jew. Matthew. Yes. Okay. And you'll be, you'll see the light come on. It's amazing. But it's more of a friendship thing. It's amazing. It's amazing. Sorry, I'm not even looking.

In this direction, hand back there, yeah. And my question is, uh, for Air, and it's, uh, in regarding, uh, the Israeli, uh, military, and, uh, if they still encourage, uh, training with the American military. As, uh, a former Marine, I was blessed with an opportunity to, uh, train within hisra Strike Team, and we became, uh, really close. One of the Israeli, uh, IDF, uh, actually lieutenants, and he asked me, "Why are you here serving your country?" And I said, "The Marine Corps motto was God, Country, and the Corps." Yeah. And he brought his Star of David out. He says, "Yes, God is number one, but my country is number two, and I will give my life for my country." I just wonder what you thought about, uh, the current administration and if they encourage the opportunity for our military to work together.

First of all, thank you for serving, sir. Yes, thank you very much. There's no doubt that the strained relations between Israel and America, uh, hurt also the collaboration between the two armies. Because in America, the commander-in-chief of the Army is the president. It's not, uh, the, uh, generals. Uh, we do have still great collaboration between the two armies, the two, uh, military, uh, forces. And, um, in fact, we have in Israel big, uh, silos of weapons that belongs to the American military. And in fact, during the Gaza operation, we, we picked up the phone and asked if we could open one of them and use something, and we did. MH. And so, um, there is a high level of military collaboration between two countries. I hope and pray that it will get back to where what it used to be. When you serve your country, that won't happen unless you vote. We, we're going to wrap this up real quick. One more. [Music] Anybody? Okay. We'll get black. Is are you wearing a black shirt? Are you okay? You're, you're last. Okay. Go.

Years an that time lot of. Does that mean that there won't be no more third world, third world war? Okay, first of all, the, the question was, during the seven years of tribulation, we know that the Antichrist is going to sign peace. Would that mean that there will be no more wars during that time? If I understood World War, well, there could be. There could be a World War tomorrow. There's no number of world wars. We don't know. But the Bible predicts that millions of Cavaliers are going to march all the way from the lands of the East, crossing the Euphrates, all the way on their way to fight the Antichrist. In other words, the first, remember, and you said it right, the seven, the seven years. But the first three and a half years, he, Daniel says, he deceives the world through peace and prosperity. He's drugging people by exactly. And one, he's going to get them rich and complacent, and the world's going to love him for it. But listen, I don't believe in a mid-trib rapture. I don't believe in a pre-wrath rapture. That is really bizarre thinking. The entire seven years is bad news, deception. The first half is deception by wealth and prosperity via the Antichrist. The second half is where profound wars take place. Yes, profound wars.

Um, the guy with the black shirt. Um, so we're seeing a lot of beheadings going on, and a lot of Christians are dying. Are we supposed to die as martyrs, or can we die with a warrior's heart? I mean, seeing as ISIS may be moving into the US pretty soon. I'm not understanding your question. A lot of the videos of beheadings, a lot of people are dying as martyrs. They're not, they're not fighting, um, as they're dying. So as a Christian, are we to die as a martyr? You mean resisting? They're not resisting. They're not resisting. Exactly. Well, first of all, the guys, uh, I don't know anything about the faith of the beheadings that we've seen recently. One guy was just beheaded yesterday again, right? Are you talking about the, the, the, the little clips of the beheadings that we are watching? No, not those. All of them. Right. All of them. All of them. Well, the beheadings, well, first of all, they're beheading Christians, okay? And I think, are you asking, should we resist if somebody tries to behead us? Fight back? Of course, you fight back. I think, listen, you're bi, listen, not only do you fight back, biblically, you're commanded to fight back. Did you know that? Don't come to me about turning the other cheek. You don't know what you're talking about. Has nothing to do with that. Listen, this thing that you're talking about, the beheadings that you're seeing, um, you're looking at people who have been either horrifically beaten, tied up, strung up, or fish hooks have been put in their nose or their tongues, and they're being pulled to a destination, uh, and then many of them are bound. We don't see the fight. ISIS is not going to, to show you the struggle. You're seeing, uh, people having already given up. However, it is worldwide knowledge, yes, that Muslims are completely befuddled. They're very bothered by the death of a Christian, even for that matter. We've heard them say the same thing about a Jew. They can't figure out how a Jew and a Christian die in peace the way that they do, because they're terrified of death. Even though they blow them M up, they're screaming Allah Akbar, and and all their friends are saying, may Allah receive him. They don't even know if they're going to be saved. Of course, we know that they're not. But so what you see is the resistance has probably already been, uh, gone through, and they've, they've been defeated. Thus, they are now martyrs. But, but friends, make, make no mo, no mistake about it. In fact, it's amazing you brought this up. It gives a great plug for this coming Wednesday night. This coming Wednesday night is our last installment of our hot button topics that we've been talking about before we get into the book of Isaiah. And one of the things that the church has asked is, where is the Christian regarding war and regarding self-defense at a dangerous time like this? What does the Bible say? The Bible has a lot to say about these things. So, um, you're seeing footage of those who have now, uh, been brought to the point of they're laying down their lives. Yeah. Actually, may I say something? You're going to anyway. Exactly. I will say, uh, experts study those pictures, and from testimonies that we have from people who managed to escape, we understood that one of the ways to torture these people was to always bring them to the point where they think that they're about to be beheaded. These people went through this in front of a camera maybe 100 times. Yeah. So they didn't know this is one is for real. Yeah. And that was for real. Yeah. They recorded maybe 50 times these speeches, and and so when they, when when the beheading really happened, they were not prepared. They were absolutely convinced it's not going to happen. It's a way of torturing someone to to toy somehow, exactly, make him think that he's about to die, and once again, and once again, and by the 50th time, you know it's not going to happen. And that's when it happened. Yeah. That, that is, yes, that is true. But he was the last one. So you're going to be the last one. Okay. Okay. She's the last one. Yes. I think that if ISIS is in the USA, I don't think. Yeah, I know. Let me say, they're not only in the US. Did you hear that? They Australian, uh, did you see what happened in Australia? Australia rounded 15 of them that had a plan to behead Australians. In fact, they found in public on the streets. Well, in England, they, they beheaded British soldier. Well, but they just did a, a disabled Christian in a wheelchair in England, and an 83-year-old woman on her way home, uh, in England was completely decapitated by ISIS. It's just that the only, yeah, it's the easiest country to get into nowadays. You just cross the Rio Grande. There's really not much that you need to do. In order, how do you protect from them? Well, this is, this is a whole another day, but, uh, the, the, the, the, there's a great concern in South America, including Mexico. The conversion of disenfranchised young Hispanic males to Islam is off the charts. Off the charts. So, but listen, this is not how we, we want to end this. Yeah. Let's end with a nice, because, because the Lord, the Lord is not moved by any of these things. It's not because he doesn't care. He cares more than you care. Everything that is going on is to cause us to pay attention and to wake up and to be more even more urgent about telling people about the Lord and salvation. Because let's be honest, there are those who are martyrs. As our brother pointed out, Vatican researchers have concluded that this year, more people are being killed for their faith in Jesus Christ than any other time in recorded history worldwide. Think of that. Approaching, I think they estimated 400,000 this year so far. But be that as it may, God knows these things. We will all die. Do you understand that? We will all die unless the rapture comes. We will die. You will die of cancer. You will die by hitting a truck or truck eting you. Um, you will die of old age. You will die. I will die. And yet Jesus said, if a man dies believing in me, yet shall he live. You know, that means, that means you're going to pass out. You're going to pass out at some point from either sheer pain or blood loss. You can only die so long, and then you're dead. And the moment you're dead, Christian, you're free. You enter into the Everlasting Arms of the Lord God. Again, tonight, as we end, you, you must use your mind, use your heart, brain, think, and have enough integrity to say, God, are you real? Are you real? Honestly, God, are you there? Yeah. If you will get alone and pray that, ask him, are you really there? Come and tell me what happens to you. Because some, he will let himself be known. He may do it in that moment. He may do it in an hour. He may do it in a week. He may do it in a month. Trust me. Isaiah 11:18 says, "Come now, he says, come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord." Amen. Amen.

Okay, Father, we thank you for this time. Yes. And Lord, we pray that as Amir heads off, Lord, to these various destinations, Lord, in, in, uh, Asia, God, that you'd bless his commitments and his speaking. And Lord, I know he's going to be speaking to some 1500 pastors here very quickly there. And Father, may their hearts be receptive and open. That's a hard audience, speaking to pastors. That's a tough nut. But Lord, I pray that you'd anoint our brother and our friend. Keep them safe. And Father, we pray right now for ISIS and Al-Qaeda and Bam and all the others. Father, uh, either they're either demon, demon-possessed and gone, or there's hope and they can. Who's to say that in the deserts, in sleep, while they're doing what they're doing, they see manifestations? Gesi saw chariots of angels above the trees. Lord, open their eyes to your truth, we pray. Lord God, for the mullahs and imams, God, that they would not be able to go to bed. I know it's daytime there, but when they go to bed tonight, that they would be troubled by dreams and visions. You did it to Nebuchadnezzar. And Lord, even tonight, as Barack Obama would be sleeping in that house, that you'd visit him. Lord, you could save him. He could, he could wake up tomorrow and call a press conference and say, Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen. Lord, we commit the United States of America, Israel. I think of Stephen Harper and Canada. Father, we pray for the absolute, just the disaster of Mexico and what's happening down there. Not only, I don't mean, I don't mean the hurricane, I, I mean the lawlessness. Speak to its leaders. You can, you can show yourself to them. You are in control. You are the Lord of Heaven and Earth. You are a savior. And the amazing thing is, Jesus, you said we would have tribulation and troubles in this world, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. And it's in his name we pray. And all God's people said, amen. Amen. [Music]
