So, technically, this happening now is somewhat of an extension to Sunday's service. If you've not watched it, you can watch it online. My goodness, within 24 hours after Sunday's service, I believe it was, there was something like a hundred thousand views. So, people want to know. They want to know what's going on. And so on tonight, guys, on the screens, before we bring Dawn out, on the screens, let's go with the first slide. I'm gonna march through this very, very quickly.
First slide. So, we talked on Sunday regarding Gog and Magog. Gog being the leader, Ezekiel 38, of the land of Magog, which is Meshach, to Baal, and these regions of the of the world that are mentioned in the scriptures, twenty-six, twenty-seven hundred years ago, that are very, very specific. And God making prophetic declarations. In other words, the God of the Bible speaks prophetically, and he, in fact, boasts about the fact that his word, he knows. God knows the future in advance, and he's even written it down in advance. And that's called the the Hebrew prophets of your Old Testament.
Dear Christians today, listen up. I'm pretty confident for you, with you, and of you in this room, but it's those beyond. You must, at this time of our life as a church, as Christianity, you must be in your Old Testament. You see, what did you mean to say? New Testament, of course. Read your New Testaments, but you'll never understand the promises that that that were given unless you read the Old Testament. How do you know if the New Testament's real? How do you know if the New Testament's true? What do you know about Jesus being born in Bethlehem? Who cares? If you know the Old Testament, you will care. If any of you are here or watching right now that are Jewish, your Hebrew Scriptures, they're all of there. They're all about what we're about. We know as Bible-believing Christians that God has made his promises to Israel, and God has made his promises to the church, two separate entities. One didn't replace the other. And the God of the Bible keeps the promises, and he will keep, and he is keeping his promises to Israel. And you're watching some of these things transpire in the news right now. God is moving the chess pieces right into place. You say, "How do you know?" Listen, I have no inside scoop. I have my Bible, and we have history to look at.
So, next slide, you guys. This is what's going on. It is God who, in the Book of Daniel, announces that there's going to be, or there was, a Babylonian Empire. I need you to see a show of hands. Have you ever heard of the Babylonian Empire? Raise your hands. Okay, good. The reason why you are able to raise your hand and know about a Babylonian Empire is because the Bible said that there would be one. And God established the dominance of the Babylonian Empire through a general who, when his dad died, he became the king, the ruler, the leader. And that is Nebuchadnezzar. And that kingdom is recorded in the Bible in great detail. This kingdom was actually taken over by the Medo-Persian Empire without firing a shot. Exactly, by the way, the Bible had said it would be conquered.
And so, guys, put up the Medo-Persian Empire that followed next. And the dominant world-leading nations, Medo-Persian Empires, the Medes and the Persians. You see the fourth to sixth century BC, and you can see the scope of it. And some of those regions you recognize. Specifically, though, tonight, you'll be hearing a lot about Persia, and that's obviously very, very important. Lydia, up to the left, that's the region of Turkey, or you learned on Sunday, Togamart, and these regions. But the Medo-Persian Empire was taken over by a third global or dominant Empire. And again, exactly as the Book of Daniel described these, these global leaders of the world, written down in the scriptures in advance. In fact, with such detail that the Book of Daniel was often mocked and made fun of as not being prophetic for this reason, that it was too accurate. Critics said, "No way, it's so accurate, it had to be written after the fact." Until God, in his goodness, has the earth burp up archaeological discovery, and there it is, confirming these amazing prophecies.
The next one is the Grecian Empire. The Grecian Empire under the leadership of who? Was the young man Alexander the Great. And he's actually referred to him in scripture in the book of Daniel. Alexander the Great. And he was the known dominant leader regarding the the Greek or the Grecian Empire. Fourth beast, fourth century BC. You see, Jack, the map is just the same. It's just changing colors in some areas. Exactly the point. Exactly the point for where we're going tonight.
Next one. You saw it a second ago with a little bit of a teaser. The Roman Empire. The Roman Empire moved westward. There was a reason for that. But the Roman Empire, according to the Book of Daniel, became the most powerful and brutal. But the Roman Empire is very interesting because the others were defeated. And as of 7:30 tonight, is this January 8th, January 8th, 7:30 tonight, in the 21st century, in 2020, the Roman Empire has never yet officially been defeated. Did you know that? No one's ever conquered the Roman Empire. And that is vital for Bible prophecy because the Bible prophecies teach us that in the last days, there's going to be a revised Roman Empire. That thing is going to come back to life in the last days. You say, "What does that have to do with what's going on in the Middle East?" And what does it have to do with me being here? Because the establishment and the in the culmination of God's prophetic word will never fail. If tonight we are watching, and if this week, and if these last couple of years, with what's happened in the Middle East, specifically in the neighborhood that Israel lives in, if there's been a big change, and all of that, and there has been, is it in the Bible? And the scriptures are extremely clear that regarding the slide we showed you in the beginning, the players have moved into position. Their ancient names are back on the modern-day map today. And of course, the key player is the one that we've been watching these last 72 hours regarding Persia. Persia, of course, being arrived. We're going to be discussing that tonight.
Don Stewart is a great friend, longtime friends, some 40 years, a faithful brother in the Lord. Don Stewart is a genius. He's just brilliant. Greek, Hebrew, Latin. The guy will just, I just, I get smarter standing next to him. It's amazing. Give a warm welcome tonight to our good friend. Downstairs, bloody man. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good to see you. Nice to be here. So, here's what we're gonna do. Yeah, Don's got the data. Don's got the goods. We're gonna go for it. And I'm gonna be the one that will interrupt with biblical application to that. But Don, sir, let's, let's pray.
Father, with what's going on in our world, and it, we have, we have to be careful as believers because we're, we don't get excited because there's wars. That wouldn't be right. We get excited about your word. And we know that someday there'll be no more wars when the Prince of Peace comes. Until that time, dost Khan, Lord, give us the heart and the mind, like we prayed on Sunday, to be like the sons of Issachar. Let us, Father, be keen and knowing. And also, Lord, please don't let us be a make-believe, pretends, fair-weather followers. The fact that your Bible, over a quarter of your Bible, is prophetic in nature, it's for us to take notice. Tonight, may we learn tonight. May the result of this evening cause us to be more ready than we were when we entered this building tonight. And Father, while we're at it, we pray for the horrible devastation that's taking place in Australia right now, a nation that is literally burning down, and the loss of of so much. To our dear brothers and sisters in Australia, we pray that you would put those fires out and save that country. Lord, bless our time together now. Bless our troops. Bless our administration. Bless, Lord, this country. Bless Israel. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen. Amen.
So, Don, yeah, start. Okay. It was last night, I guess. All of us were rather shocked, right? When we heard the news that during the time when because Soleimani was about to be buried, that there were actually missiles shot from Iran into Iraq at two of our bases. And the first reaction I had, Jack, is they can't be that stupid to try and, you know, take on Americans. Because President Trump already showed what happened when one contractor was killed in Syria, four soldiers, brave Americans were injured, that he took out Soleimani. Not only because of that, but also because of the embassy coming in our grounds, of the US Embassy there in Baghdad. And so, as the night went on, it was very interesting because we were told that none of the missiles killed anybody. And that's kind of a shock because, you know, they were shot at these bases there. And we heard again, as you can imagine, fake news, the fake news MSNBC. So, there's 20 Americans dead. They've repeated that. They got that from one day, the websites out there, which of course, no one died. But if you watch that, in fact, my wife and I actually turned off the news because they're all histrionic. It's the end of the world. Yeah, I don't you watching that in the world, we're all gonna die, you know, that kind of thing. And not recognizing that American firepower could reduce Iran to a cinder if they wanted to. But you didn't hear anything, Jack. What was really interesting from the president? And we wonder why. Why not? And the reason is, they were still kind of calculating what went on. And we found out by the end of the evening that basically, no Americans were killed, amazingly. And so then we started getting these stories. We got stories that, well, Iran, because they had to show some bluster, they had to show some, you know, power to their people. At the same time, some of Soleimani was being buried in the town of, I think as Carsan, is how you pronounce it, there in Iran. They had the split screen showing the missiles coming over, showing the missiles coming over and hitting the bases there. But again, no one died. And so, what does the thinking started becoming this way? Well, why not? You know, what was going on? So, they've got a couple possibilities. And one was, they purposely missed their target just to show off, because they knew if they hit the target and killed some Americans, you know, like in 30 minutes, there'd be not a whole lot left of the country. So, that was kind of the the feeling that was there at the time. And so, the more we watch that, and then President Trump came this morning and said, no Americans had died. But he gave, he talked about our early warning system that helped. Now, what we were also told, which seems to be now fake news, is that the Prime Minister of Iraq was told an hour beforehand, and he let the Americans know. We now find out it was the American technology that basically, you know, warned the Americans about this that it was coming in. But all day, and I did this on my program, day on breaking news, we talked about Iran purposely doing this, purposely doing this. And here's why. Their technology is such, very precise. And give you one example, when the oil fields in Saudi Arabia were hit a while back in September, there were 24, there were not only cruise missiles but drones. And everyone specifically strategically hit the mark. Nobody missed. Nobody whatsoever. It was, it was right on target. And over the months, they have been hitting targets, hardware, but not killing anybody. The mistake Soleimani made was killing that, that person there, the contractor, injuring the Americans there in Syria, and then of course, followed up by the by the, you know, Baghdad, you know, doing a trying to do a redo of 1979, of the 444 days where we had the 52 hostages. They're trying to make another hostage crisis. So, that was the story today. The story I repeated here comes the. But yeah, and let me read to you what came over the wire about an hour ago. I don't think if you saw this. And we tell you, when I saw this news, in the words of Han Solo, "I got a bad feeling about this." All right. The great philosopher, the great Han Solo. The Pentagon, about an hour ago, said, "Iran's missiles were intended to kill personnel. Yeah, they were intended to kill." A dozen missiles launched to two bases in Iraq housing US forces Tuesday night were designed to kill Americans. But the Iranian efforts were thwarted by the military early warning systems, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and General Mark Miley told reporters tonight, Wednesday. And on and on, the bombs that were there, each one had a 1,000 to 2,000 pound warhead sitting on top of them. Can you imagine the damage that was done? So, evidently, it wasn't them missing purposely. And they're very much well-designed weapons. To the contrary, the early warning systems say the Americans. Jack, thank God for that. Yeah, that's right. But okay, that's the good news. But the bad news is, they're trying to kill us. They're trying to kill us. I encourage you to get every recent interview of Mike Pompeo possible. Listen to Secretary Pompeo. He makes it very, very clear. He makes it very, very clear that this general, which I'm shocked, I'm shocked that the West, specifically the United States, that people are so ignorant as to who and what this person was. His life was not a secret, ladies and gentlemen. But all of a sudden, we have a segment of the United States almost weeping over the death of this murderer. And that, that's unbelievable to me. And so much so that there's a bulk of America that's siding with the empathy of this poor, poor terrorist who was blown up by, by America. And in that same group, as is turning on the leadership in the military of the United States. And, and it's within our own borders, which is a bizarre and tragic attitude and position to take. Having, having said that, this guy was a bad, bad man. And you might say, well, you know, so what? We just took out a bad man. We took out a bad man, as we mentioned on Sunday, who had been working very, very hard. By the way, he was the architect to the embassy attack that failed because the Marines did what they were supposed to do. On top of the fact that they were planning, MI6 reported this on Sunday, MI6, Mossad, and CIA operatives within the Middle East had confirmed that there were imminent and sustained terrorist attacks planned against the West, Israel, and the United States that was to commence this January. We're in January now. But we have this bizarre, this bizarre sympathy. I don't understand that. Yeah. Yeah. Jack, The Washington Post called him a "revered general." That was their headline. "Revered Iranian general dies in this attack." Reuters called him a "respected general." You know what the people of Iran did when they found out he died in Iraq? They started celebrating that the man was dead. Because they were happy the man died because he's a monster. Same in Saudi Arabia. Yeah, exactly. Because they knew who he was. They didn't like him at all. And also too, and you've seen the stories, all the people that came out for the funeral, you know, the people that the leaders sent their own soldiers, the powers that be in Iran, to go door to door to force people to come out. If they didn't come out for the for the funeral, they were shot right there in their own houses. They were killed. There's a video that shown some people who were told, some Iranians, "You need to go towards the funeral." They said, "No." Show some shooting them, shooting him. Because why? Because they wanted to point, took this picture to the world that this monster, this absolute monster, is called a child murderer. You're right. We've known about him for a long time. He is a terrible, terrible person. But number two, he was the second most powerful person in the whole country of Iraq, next to Ayatollah Khomeini. He was ahead of whose son, the the leader of the country, ahead of Arif, you know, the foreign minister, and who honey, the president. He was the one who had this interesting relationship with the Ayatollah. And he's totally irreplaceable with respect to his military capabilities. And that for years and years, he was one of these behind-the-scenes guys. We didn't know about him. The last three years, he's been out publicly, glad-handing people. And what was interesting after that, you know, the story after the, the embassy was, you know, attacked and partially destroyed, remember that's American soil, that's cool, sovereign American territory. When that happened, the Ayatollah laughed the day before, too. President Trump, you can't do anything about it. Well, he found out America can and will do something about it. And so Soleimani is no longer with us. Not sure if you guys saw this, then out in the news. But Time magazine, I believe it's Time magazine, or Time publications, or Time online digital, is has given information how parents can comfort their children regarding them coping with what they've heard about this general being killed. Did you see that? They gave you talking instructions to your kids. And they tried it. One woman who called in, it was being discussed in a program, a woman called in and said, "My seven-year-old, my seven-year-old asked what was on the news, what was going on?" And I told my seven-year-old, "A very, very bad man who wanted to hurt us was was killed, was stopped." And the seven-year-old said, "Well, that's good," and walked away. And walked away. I don't, yeah. It's it's bizarre. We've got a group of people that are, you know, bemoaning this man's death. And it's the same group of people that will kill a baby in the womb. Yeah, go square that up. You know, Jack, too, we had in November in Iran, there was a million people who took to the streets to, you know, to protest against the government, you know, the price of their currencies going down, the standard of living is going down. These brave people went to the streets, and over 1500 were killed, probably a lot more. Many were thrown in jail. Not any coverage whatsoever in the United States. If you see the funeral yesterday, wall-to-wall coverage, and all the networks, they sent correspondents over there weeping, you know, for this wonderful, great man that the mean United States and Donald Trump took out. This butcher, who is actually the best, best one we've ever done. He's ahead of Bin Laden, al-Baghdadi. He is, he was the best catch, as we would have put it, ever, ever for the the United States military. And God bless the US military, and God bless what they do.
But like you said, it's tragic. The enemies, you know, it shows how, how crazy these people have anti-American. We have people in our own country, politicians, the press, Hollywood, you know, the usual gang of suspects. But basically, what you would think someone that, one would want to be happy that what to take them out. But you know what's not only America, Jack, there were the leftists in Israel. This man wants to destroy the Israelis. Finally, on it, one of the TV programs, this man steps, "What are you people talking about? Why are you mad at? You hate Trump and Netanyahu so much, you won't rejoice at the fact this man that wants to kill us has been taken out? What's wrong with you people?" And then he said this, "You are irrelevant as far as the world's concerned." Well, I think that speaks of the left in this country too, because they're anti-American. And can you imagine? Here's a person that has killed Americans, killed hundreds of them, if not thousands, killed many Iranians, killed other people, and was in the process of, you know, putting, like you said, these terrorist acts together. And yet, what we don't rejoice over that, what we're not worth sad, and we try to make him to a martyr, a hero. This man was not a martyr, he's not a hero, he's a monster. And they did the right thing in taking him out. But it just shows, Jack, we, we used to have Democrats and Republicans. We just got now, seems Americans and anti-Americans in this country. Doesn't kind of seem that way? Yeah. Yeah.
Don, keep going. Let's talk about what are the ramifications? Why, you know, these sweet people are here tonight? What's the, what's the significance to what's taking place? Because it looks like, it looks like everything's kind of calmed now. Yeah. And that's what we, that's why I said, I got a bad feeling about this one. The Pentagon says, well, contrary to what we initially reported, you've got these 1,000, 2,000 pound bombs there. Here's what's going on. If you heard President Trump today, he said something very fascinating. Something he's repeatedly said before. The US is going to get out as much as possible in the Middle East. In other words, we don't use any Middle Eastern oil. Number one, he's talking about NATO. Look, can I, yeah, yeah. Did you word on? You said, are you guys awake? We do not use Middle Eastern oil anymore. Did you know that? We're immature. No, that specific. Did you know that you're sitting in the largest gas and oil producing country on the face of the year? Zack, we're number one. Did you know that? Number one. Not Saudi Arabia, not Iran. United States, by the grace of God. Yes. So, we don't need their oil anymore. So, he said, why should we? Where's the, where's NATO? Where, where's the Europeans defending this? And you know, why is it American lives they're put on the line? We don't buy their oil anymore. We're energy self-sufficient. So, he's talked about getting out of the Middle East and getting out of that. Now, what's interesting, the Iraqi president yesterday and today said the same thing. The Iraqi parliament actually voted. He probably talked about this on Monday for the US to get out of Iraq. And of course, the Ayatollah said today, before, you know, right after the attack, "We need to get the Americans out of the entire Middle East." So, it's interesting, they all want America out of the Middle East. And they're playing what we call the long game. They're looking, this is their final goal, Jack, get rid of us because we're the superpower in the world, and we're the one that's stopping them from doing what they want to do. So, this is why it's so profound. Because this is why it's important in Bible prophecy. America is not there at the time. Again, America is nowhere to be found in the Middle East at the time of the end. You read Ezekiel 38. This leader, Gog, who was the head of modern-day Russia, and they will read this coalition. He has this evil thought to invade Israel. And he puts a coalition of nations together. And yet, there's no conception on his mind whatsoever of anybody intervening on the side of Israel, any nation. And nobody does. There's a note that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states sin, but nobody intervenes. No country that is. But he left someone out. He wasn't thinking about, right? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will intervene and destroy their entire armies. So, the point is, Jack, this is starting to set that. Because no trouble, instantly, let's face it, he wants to leave. And people say, "Why are we in these wars?" Hey, and let's be honest, everybody, as I mentioned on Sunday, you may not like his hair, or you may not like his tweets, or whatever. Although you have to admit, his tweets have really matured, huh? But, um, you campaigned saying we need to get out of the Middle East. So, now that we're oil independent, which is, you should go look at the map and the math. But the, our current oil consumption, presently, we have something like three thousand years of oil left. I mean, it's something insane. So, why be there? As Don is saying, so, could we be, like you said, out of the region? Because of that? Could it be that we're out of the region and not mentioned in the Bible? Because America took a different track, became so, so irrelevant? Is it because America was nuked? Is it an EMP? Why would America not be involved in helping Israel when you mentioned the Middle Easterners, so to speak? One, America out. Read between the lines. They want us out of there because they've learned they can't do to Israel what they want to do because this doggone America keeps getting involved. And if, and what if there is no America, then how much bolder would the, would the antagonist be, according to Ezekiel 38, to go after Israel? It's pretty remarkable. I believe I know some of you, some of you have said to me, even in the courtyard on Sunday, "This is Ezekiel 38." Don't say that. You don't know that. It's not, that's not a fact yet. And that's why, remember, that's why these happening now is were created to stop that. We do not know exactly where we're at on the Ezekiel 38 lineup. But I can tell you this, we have never been this close. There's never been such an alignment of the necessary players as it is tonight. So, what does that mean? So, you say, "Well, you know, Sunday, you talked about this possibility." Yeah, and that happened last, to some degree. But now there's calm and quiet. That's how Bible prophecy, by the way, moves. We expected. We thought in our minds that whenever Rosh, Meshach, to Baal, Gog, under it would come against Israel, we, and our minds, we saw the air covered by invading planes, and the ground being swarmed by tanks. And we kind of wondered, but no one had to have the guts. They ever asked, "Aren't they going to see all these planes coming for it, you know, a couple thousand miles away, and all these tanks going across the desert?" We blew it because we never saw Russia moving next door to Israel and parking like they are tonight. They're just across the border. They're in Syria. They're there in Iran. They're in Iraq. And so, Bible prophecy is interesting. It moves, and then there's unloading of it. I believe that we're at the point of watching these last 36, 72 hours. We're watching the chess pieces being put into place. That's why we want to be careful. We are not, what's the word, sensationalists? Okay? And we're not deniers either. What we want to be is biblically skeptical about what's coming together. We want to be careful that it's Bible right, and not panic or weirdness. But we're an amazing, amazing time right now. Yeah.
If there's a regional war, this is not Ezekiel 38, 39. Please do not say that it is for three main reasons. Number one, the aggressor is not Iran. It's Russia. Russia takes the lead. Gog, you know, the prince of Rosh, okay? The prince of Russia. Number one. Number two, Americans are nowhere to be found in Ezekiel 38, 39. Right now, we have a battleship in Bahrain looking straight into Iran, and in our crosshairs, we've got, like we've talked about, all our military ready to go. And number three, Israel's going to be taken by surprise during this invasion. Well, let me tell you, Israel is the highest alert right now. This is not Ezekiel 38, 39. So, please don't make that mistake. If there is a regional war, and we don't know if there, there is, but it could, like you said, Jack, move some things around. If the Iranian, let's say, their nuclear program is somehow thrown back, because remember, particular T 839s, more boots on the ground. These are invading armies that come in that have to go to Plan B. So, what we want to do is have, like you said, the wider perspective. Is, but you mentioned something here that was really interesting. A story I've been doing, I heard a mirror do it the other day. The only person I heard, you've probably done it too, but this is about Libya. Libya is mentioned joining the coalition there, but they've been on the outside looking in. Well, there's three headlines I have. Libya's political instability makes room for ISIS to regroup. And then Turkey is sending troops to Libya. And today, Turkey and Russia call for a ceasefire in Libya. Well, well, well. Big. It's okay. Libya's the one country that has not yet, part of this coalition that will be. And you have both Turkey and Russia in the country now trying to do a ceasefire because ISIS is regrouping there. Now, recall, why did Russia, why did Iran initially go into Syria and to Iraq? Because of ISIS, the Islamic State. When ISIS was driven out, Turkey, Russia, and Iran decided to stay. They haven't left. So, now in Libya, where you've got ISIS regrouping there, you have Turkey and Russia. Russia, Turkey voted there, their parliament voted, has sent Turkey soldiers over there. Russia's been, you know, on the side of this other general that's running on eastern Syria. They've been fighting one another. But it looks like what's gonna happen, the Islamic State again, may bring both Turkey and Russia into Libya. They'll get rid of ISIS, but guess who's gonna stay? Turkey and Russia. Because this invasion also includes Libya, and they're the one piece of the puzzle that hasn't, you know, come together yet, Jack. But it looks like we're seeing that happen right now. To Ben, you mentioned Russia. We know that Russia, Russian interests, and Russian concerns, and boots on the ground, when I say boots on the ground, I don't mean army intel officers, Russian presence has been in Libya for almost a little over a year now. That's interesting to me because they've been emboldened by what you just said. Russia is in the north of Israel. ISIS just over the border, north of Israel. Russia's in Syria. Notice that. And I don't know if any of you are here tonight, if there's any Muslims visiting tonight, or Muslims watching right now, or for that matter, anyone who has studied Islam. They have a brilliant tactic, and it's, it's actually pretty spectacular. It's never failed them. Uh, their tactic is to go into a community. I'll just call it a community. It could be your neighborhood, it could be the county, the state, or a nation. Because the tactic, the strategy is the same: to create a problem. It's a plan. Create a problem, and then come to the authorities and say, "We can take care of that for you. Will you let us help you on that?" Of course, "Please do help us. We don't speak the language, we don't understand the culture. We'll take care of it." This is a famous tactic. And there's a name for it. I don't think it's good, 'no, but it's something of that. There's a term. And they create the issue, then they provide the answer for the issue. And they love the Western thinking into, "Oh, wow, they're great, they're gonna help us." All the while, there's a master plan that has to be, has to be established. Libya, remember, in fact, you guys remember something called the Arab Spring? That's exactly it. Create a problem. And boy, I'm gonna get hate mail for this. You want to read, you want to just, I'm gonna say it. You see if I'm wrong. There is a, there was a motivational speaker who spoke, and it gave birth to the Arab Spring. It was a motivational speaker who spoke to the Arab world from in Cairo and motivated radicals to take over Arab countries, service some Muslim countries. And the Arab Spring was born. They created a problem, and then they brought in the answer. And the answer was, well, where did Saddam Hussein go? Where did Muammar Gaddafi go? Where did Mubarak go? We can go down the list. All of these leaders were overthrown by the Arab Spring radicals, and the Muslim Brotherhood tried to take over the, that part of the, of the Middle East. It's a tactic. It's a tactic, and it works. And so, what Don is talking about, you see Libya, you know, Russia, who cares? Because Libya is a byproduct of the Arab Spring. If you remember this, that destabilization that came out of it. Again, parts are being moved around because God has a master plan. God's God is in control. Things are being set up. So, again, where is America? I don't see the United States in scripture. I know that upsets some people sometimes, but it's not there. I don't see it there. Yeah, we're not a player. And see, what President Trump is doing, he understands right now, our attention really worldwide needs to be turned to China. China is the one threat that we really have in the world. It's not, it's not to the place that America is yet, but they're growing and growing threat in the Pacific. So, his question is, why am I spending so much time, money, energy, troops in the Middle East when we have problems in the Pacific? And why are, again, the Europeans, NATO, who's buying the oil, not us, defending, you know, the people there who are bringing it to him? So, that's, you know, you can understand in one sense that's why he's doing what he's doing. But you're absolutely right, Jack. With 2011, when Gaddafi was overthrown, the old Arab Spring there, and Mubarak there in Egypt, it was interesting. You mentioned Mubarak, is that you got the Brotherhood taking over? And that, when Pastor Chuck and I used to do World News Briefing, we said, you know, this can't last very long because Egypt cannot be on the side of the bad guys here. Egypt is actually gonna, you know, if there's gonna be a monument in Egypt, the Bible says to the Lord Jesus, down the line, to the God of the Bible, in Egypt is going to be, you know, part of the Millennial Kingdom there, and turning to the faith and the Lord. So, he's 18 and 19. Yeah. So, Egypt is, if you know, when the Muslim Brotherhood took over and Mohammad Morsi, we said that's not gonna last very long. And it didn't, did it? Now, we're not prophets, we're not sons of prophets. We just read the book, it tells how it's gonna turn out. So, we knew it wouldn't last long. It certainly didn't last long there. So, he was overthrown by al-Sisi in the end, the powers that be in Egypt. But you're right, it's very interesting about the Arab Spring there. And you didn't mention that his President Trump today, I thought was rather bold. The money that was used to, why did you like that? I mean, did you? I have to ask you a question. Have you seen the ten and a half minutes? Ten and a half minutes, I think it is, maybe eleven at the most, speech today by President Trump? And raise your hand if you saw it. Okay. Put your head. Raise your hand. If you have not seen it, you're doing yourself an injustice. You must watch it. You, please, those of you later to YouTube, that you got to listen to what he has to, what he says. You have to listen because you just hit the nail on the head. Did I? How many of you were here on Sunday? Did I not tell you on Sunday that Iran's threats and Iran's nuclear program is something you paid for it? Yes. Didn't I tell you that? You paid for it. The Iranians didn't pay for it. The nuclear system that's being established to nuke Israel and the United States and the West was paid for by you. And you guys were all quiet. And then I reminded you of the $152 billion that was scurried over to Iran as appeasement money. Unbelievable. If you're aiding and abetting an enemy, not an enemy, that's all that's in the ocean. Aiding and abetting an enemy, enemy that's treasonous. Moving money out of the United States to a, a United Nations recognized terrorist state. Ladies and gentlemen, if you did, in fact, somebody there was, there was a, there was a person visit in this church, hostile towards Christianity, hostile towards the United States. Let there, they let their feelings be known. We just simply got a picture, took a picture, and sent it to people who care. And they began to to watch this individual. Nine months later, this guy was arrested because he had been channeling, and at that point, a $5,000 he had sent to a known terrorist group in Pakistan, or not Pakistan, in in Syria. And so, this person, this disguised, this guy, he's in jail. Why? Because he gave $5,000 to an enemy of the state or in the United States. Are you hearing me? We had a president give $1.152 billion illegally to a known enemy state. Why isn't that in the news? Why isn't that, why isn't that being discussed? You and I paid for 16, now 16, was 15, 16 cruise type missiles that were used to attack us yesterday. We paid for that. Yep. I don't know about you, but I think that's not a good, not a good thing. Yeah. And that same individual in 2015 said, "Iran is and should be a regional power too." When the JCPOA, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, was put in, you know, bypassing Congress and running it by the Security Council of the United Nations without a vote of the of the legislative branch of the countries you're supposed to do on treaties and put us in this terrible position because one of the things that treaty did, or whatever we don't call the treaty, that joint comprehensive understanding, Jack, is not stopped Iran from going forward with its ballistic missile program. And we see now that they've gotten better and better and better. Ergo, Saudi Arabia, what happened? You know, when September, when they hit the oil fields in the refinery there, they're getting very precise on this. And thank God we had the early warning system there last night. Last night wasn't this. Has this seemed weird? And you were glued to your TV last night. It seems like forever ago. Yeah, it seems like light-years away. Just last night. And then we find out today, well, actually, they were trying to, 2,000 pound warhead on all these missiles. Can you imagine the damage if that would have been done? That would have, you know, hit barracks, something like that. And yet, like you said, it's our money that's paid for it. And thank God President Trump reminded the world that that's where the money came from. Just bring the missiles over. It's not politically correct, but it's true. Yeah. But please, even if you don't like him, if you, you need to listen to his speech. Some people are saying that it's, it's one of the most short and concise statements about protecting you and American sovereignty and for that matter, international law. It's a brilliant, it was it was well done. Apparently, though, it's not being well delivered because CNN said he looked tired. Oh, look, I'm glad he was up for a few days taking care of me. Exactly. Up all night taking care. Hello. Okay, with that.
[Music]
So, Don, let's go. Keep going. There's some more. Okay. There's a, there's a lot more. So, right now, where we're at with this latest news, we know Iran, you got two mixed messages from today. One said, "Well, we're done. We're not going to go further." The Ayatollah said, "No, this is just the beginning." Who do you believe? We don't know who to believe. But we know this, they're not going to stop. Iran has their proxies, let's not forget this. The Houthis in the country of Yemen. You've got Hezbollah there in Lebanon. You've got Islamic Jihad that's there with Hamas there in the Gaza Strip. And they're all over the place in Iraq, Iraq, in the Middle East, in Syria. And something like, we're had the store yesterday, it's amazing. At the ready, Jack, right now in the Middle East, there's 280,000 armed people that could come together and invade Israel right now. To what if they? 80,000 armed people. That now, that's nothing compared to what's gonna happen in Ezekiel 38. But, but it shows the tremendous number there was. But let's not forget Israel in all of this. Israel, the generals there, and God bless them, but they said, "Well, we don't think we're gonna get attacked." Something like this. I'm thinking, boy, they aren't, they aren't the same generals in 1973 that said, "Well, it won't happen on Yom Kippur," where we had the invasion there. Yeah, you wonder, you know, that's got the job. Yeah, I don't know. It's just, it's, well, it just, I believe it just shows you how spiritual things are that these Israeli commanders and generals can be so naive. When they did, they've lived through wars. "We're gonna be okay." And, and they were saying, "If America, Iran said, if you guys do anything, retaliation to what we're known to you guys right now." Listen to this logic. Yeah. Everybody who's never Iran is the tech in Iraq, and it's a base where US Air Force and Marines, Army, the United States. They, Iran starts being a little concerned, maybe that we're gonna do something about it. And so, how do they, how do they protect themselves? We're gonna bomb Haifa. Yep. Did you hear that? Why would they bomb Haifa? What, what's the deal? It's like saying, you know, Don punches me, and I'm all upset about it. And so I punch you. It goes to show you, it's a spiritual battle, friends. Listen, it's a spiritual issue. Israel is the issue. Israel's the issue. Yeah. You know what's also amazing though, Jack, to when they had the funeral, and you know, they were, before they buried Soleimani, they had the crowds gathered together there. And what they were doing, they were saying, "Death to America," as usual. And "Death to Israel." But they all saying, "Death to Saudi Arabia. Death to the houses." Yeah. It was really interesting. And you're wondering why they're saying that? Because Saudis, of course, are now making nice with Israel. And Saudis, of course, she ain't since even d-dan will have some type of a relationship with Israel. Because they're the ones that protest this Ezekiel 38, 39 invasion. Look, again, you can't make this stuff up. So, the players are all on the press, the correct sides right now. And so, they were saying that. I'm wondering, and they let that be said publicly because actually, the easiest target of all was would be the Saudis. The oil fields were there. They were hit before, you know, the refinery there. And the problem is now, and you know a lot about this, Jack, with modern warfare, with the cruise missiles that go, you know, alongside the surface, and deference to the old ones that used to come up and, you know, way up high and go down. It's much harder to detect. It's harder to fight against. In fact, there was one defense magazine I read after the thing that happened in Saudi Arabia. It said, "Look, for human beings, they don't have a reaction time quick enough to do all this. We almost ate a, I, artificial intelligence to fight. You know, someone has to guide that to fight these incoming missiles." So, it's kind of a whole new ballgame with drones in that that are, you know, guided. And so, an Iran has that technology because in 2015, they forgot to tell Iran, we're not only going to give you the money, but they didn't say, "Don't stop terrorism and don't stop your ballistic missile program." Okay? So, what are they doing? Taking the money, building, you know, missiles, practicing their technology to hit the big Satan, the US, the little Satan, Israel. But also, they've got the technology now to hit more precise targets, as we have seen in Saudi Arabia. And they're going to continue to develop that. But what was really interesting, I know if you saw the story, they had this 4.9 earthquake about 40 miles from the center of one of the, well, actually one of the portal, one of their share, one of their power plants, their underground plants there in Iran. Just so happened, you know, that just happened that 4.9 earthquake at that time where they've got all these underground facilities. We, well, there's a couple of things we could say about that. But you can use your imagination about was it a real earthquake? Maybe it's God. You know, God said, "Okay, you think the US won't get involved? I'll get involved. You don't shake the ground a little bit." Who knows? But the point is, it got shaken there. And the Iranians, Jack, you think they should know, shouldn't they, what the firepower we had? As President Trump's today, we've got bigger missiles to go, you know, hypersonic missiles now that we can use on and on and on. We could literally reduce their country to a cinder in 30 minutes if we wanted to. Now, we're not going to do it to degree. But Trump said, "We're gonna hit 52 sites." Why 52? 52 hostages there in 1979 for 444 days in the hostage crisis in Tehran, that, you know, when those students first came in, then the whole country, they humiliated our people for 444 days until they were finally released. And so, we've got all these things going on. And it's almost like you have to, excuse me, I have to watch.
It's moment by moment. It's not something you know what's gonna happen tomorrow, how about the next ten minutes? Because it's one of these things that's an ongoing process. And Jack, you know, you and I know, Buddy knows that God was even gonna happen tomorrow on all this. But what we do know, Iran is not going to leave it lie. They're going to do whatever they can to make America, you know, pay the price for this. And unfortunately, they have their their people on the left here in America, in the media, in Hollywood, in, you know, politics, that are very glad to not support the United States of America. Which is not only a crying shame, in many cases, it's treason. It's horrific. We never thought we'd live to see this day. But we're right now, I'm, uh, don't tell anybody, but, um, I, I think people who don't care or support their country, okay? Like, if you live in Germany and you hate your, my name, I don't think you should, I thought, I don't think you should be paid in Euros. That's what their, that's their currency. Yeah. I don't think she'd be paid in Euros if you're in, if you live in America and you work at a job and you hate America, should you be paid in dollars? You know, you don't believe in it. Let me tell you, if that one, if that, I'm just, I'm just venting right now. If that was played out in life, that'd be pretty interesting to see. If I'm a little enough to remember Hanoi Jane? Remember that? Yes. Well, if the U.S. is so bad, and in Vietnam is so awesome, move there. Well, she couldn't because she was making tens of millions of dollars here.
So all of this dynamic. Jesus said that as we approach the last days, that there would be wars and rumors of wars. And we know that from Matthew chapter 24, which I believe is a chapter. I hold the view that Matthew 24 is talking about a very, very specific period of time. This, I don't think it's talking about today. It's talking about a very specific time that's coming. But Jesus made it very, very clear that there was going to be global issues that were so big. Pestilence, which is an interesting word, because many scholars believe that that word means either, you know, unexplainable disease or quite possibly even man-made disease. She's not, it's not normal. But pestilence, the Bible, Jesus said, oh yeah, and watch out for volcanoes. What? And watch out for this, watch out for that. What? He gives this list. Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21. You can read these things and it's, it's, it's 21 centuries ago. It's like Jesus was read in the newspapers today. But of course, him being God and God knowing all things. We're living at an amazing time. And for the people who are saying, I just need proof that God, I can't believe unless there's proof. I promise, William. I say promise. I don't expect God to like rip the sky open and say, it's me. Look, believe in me. Hi. Now, will you believe? Although we hear from Muslims converting to Christianity, that that's exactly what he's doing. Exactly. In the, in the deserts of the Middle East, he's calling out people. Okay. Wow. That's, that's not how I got saved. But, but the point is, look at Bible prophecy. We're sitting here tonight talking about Persia in the Bible. You saw it on the screens. And this is an amazing moment. We're seeing the lawlessness advancing. We're seeing craziness happen. We're watching crazy things happen. It would end. People going crazy. You might know some people that are just, I've had enough. I'm, what are you gonna do? I'm gonna do. People are just acting nuts. And we're not even, and I don't plan on being in those seven-year tribulation period days. But you gotta admit, things are getting weird and dicey. And I just want to stress you tonight, this is a really, really great time place. If you do not know how to honestly, accurately present your friend, to your family, or a stranger, the gospel. I want you to know that we have an amazing ministry here that teaches you foolproof to present the true gospel to people. The ministry is entitled, "The Call." And yeah, amen. Many people have taken it here. You will be so equipped to evangelize others around you. Because listen, those of us who call ourselves Christians tonight, if we're not telling people about Jesus at this time, why not? I mean, people are scared and nervous and like you said, on the news, we're good. This president's taken it. It's going to be the end of the world. It's not that it's not there. In another world, the world's not ending. Your world could end tonight. You could, your heart could skip a beat tonight. You could, you could die tonight. Are you ready to meet Jesus? Do you know I'm his Lord and Savior? Because the same God that gave these Bible prophecies is the God that I believe gave the ultimate prophetic statement that he would send his son to be your Savior, the Redeemer of your soul. So you need to really, yeah, look around. Your signs, signs. This is, we're living in the signs of the times. The times of the signs. And I, I hope you really think about this.
We know that Trump, I say Trump, you, I shouldn't say that. You know what? You know what Trump did regarding the military, our military, when he was sworn into office? He turned to his generals and he said, "No, do go do whatever you guys do. Did you know that? He just tell me when you, when you go do what you do, and then tell me what you've done. If something really big is coming up, I'll talk to you." He looked at, he let the Navy be the Navy, of it, the Air Force be the Air Force, that the Marines be the Marines, Gardens, Coast Guard, Coast Guard. He'd let them be. And and there's been a lot of success. And the, and I don't, I don't know if you know this or not, but much of the world loves us right now because American concerns are protecting their countries. You need to know that. Having said that, having said that, our U.S. military leaders deployed six, especially, what's the word, especially fitted B-52s to Diego Garcia. And Diego Garcia exists for no other reason but as a deterrent. And from that location, you can, you can easily deal with Iran. Easily. An almost exact same distance in the Western heading, you can deal with what we've not talked about tonight. And I've been pounding my my friends about this one, that is North Korea. Those six B-52s could really do something if they were ordered to do something. You say, why would you bring up North Korea? For once again, the Boeing built SBX got to hold my friends in Pearl Harbor. I said, "Where is it?" Look out your eye. I literally said, "Look out the window of your office and tell me if it's there." Does anybody know what I'm talking about by the SPX? Raise your hand if you've, anybody? Nobody? A few of you. Three of them. VS BX. You can look at it later. You can YouTube it. It can wreak havoc. And it can wreak havoc in a pin drop location. It's the most, the strangest looking thing you've ever seen. And it's based in Pearl Harbor. It left Pearl Harbor not too long ago. And it is somewhere parked off the coast of North Korea. It's interesting because Iran and North Korea are bedfellows. Oh, yeah. Bedfellows in technology. Nasty technology. New killer or head rocket missile technologies. They have a mutual share of information and scientists go back and forth. Okay. And so what I have been expecting, and my friends personally, I don't think I'm sitting in any of this on social media as far as I know. I don't think so. But personally, my friends, I'm, I'm, I'm saying, as everyone's watching the news, watch out for North Korea. Now, this thing quickly decelerated, but North Korea is a problem. And could it be, I want to take you down a path that is just not the greatest. But if the United States, if we see a coming together of the Ezekiel players, and the United States is not involved, Don, you're gonna have to explain to me why the most powerful nation in human history is not in Bible prophecy, is not mentioned, and is not involved. How could the most powerful nation on earth not be in scripture? Could something happen? Or could we be so fin stretched? We're all North Korea has to do at the tapping of China. China can pick up the phone, call Pyongyang and say, "Do something stupid." And Kim Jong-un, that's what he does. He does stupid stuff. And get our interest. We've got him. We've got to be ready. And we are ready. But what happens if Iran and North Korea decide to just throw a switch at the same time, hypothetically? Tonight, we don't know what the U.S. would be capable of sustaining or doing. My point is this, getting back to the spiritual side of things. We have a brief moment. We have our religious freedoms protected right now. There is tremendous righteousness being done in our courts right now. There is tremendous victory for the unborn child right now. There's so much good being done right now that you, that is that is qualifiable. This can't last very long. It never does. Has God given the church an opportunity? I've told, I've told you guys on Sunday that on Saturday, well, it seems like a month ago already. On, I had an opportunity to be in a room where Donald Trump pointed at us and said, "Just tell, just tell your people to live the book." And I'm thinking, is this for, are you kidding me? We're looking at each other. When's that gonna happen again? We have a whip up right now. We have a reprieve to tell people. Tell your neighbors, tell your bosses, tell your employees. Well, I could get sued. I know that's, I know how that goes. I can't, but I can't find a loophole in that one anywhere in the Bible. God says, "Tell them, love them, reach out to them." You got it. You got it. You got to tell people the truth. And they need the love of God. That the love of God. Listen, God, it's not pixie dust. He doesn't just throw it out there and everybody's covered. And the Oprah Winfrey gospel is not of God. That's a satanic message. No, God's love is available. And this forgiveness is available. You've got to repent. That is, you've got to agree with God that you're a sinner and that you need his salvation. Okay? You're not going to get in because your mom saved or your grandma went to heaven. You're not going to heaven like that. Good. I love what some old saint said a long time ago. God has no grandkids. He only has children. Remember that. Make sure you're a child of the Living God.
So I want to keep going. Yeah. The, what Jack just said, three things is offered to you tonight. Your identity, who you are. Your purpose, why you're here. And your destiny, what's gonna happen to you when you die. The Bible has the answer to those three basic questions. Who am I? Why am I here? What's gonna happen to me when I die? And as we watch TV last night, there was a lot of fear going on. Little fear in people's minds because, well, we might die tonight. Well, that's true. The Bible has the answer. And tonight, you can know. You can know who you are. You can know why you're here. And you could know what's gonna happen to you when you die. That's the wonderful message, the gospel. And literally, Jack, that's what we're all about, right? We're here to preach the gospel. The first coming of Christ, what he did, dying for the sins of the world, coming back from the dead to answer those three basic questions. Every single human being, sooner or later, is gonna ask, "Who am I? Am I here? What's gonna happen to me when I die?" You know, gosh, Don, you say that, and it's, it's, it's so simple, it's so basic, but it's so deep and profound. And all of us have got to square with that challenge of life. No matter who you are. You guys, I know this is not scripted this way. We're close to the end. But can someone be, can someone shout out a question and really make it a question? Not a speech, not a, not a, I'll interrupt you. I love you in advance. I love you all in advance. But if you want to preach something, I'm just going to shut you down. You have a question?
How do we, as Christians, deal with the far left? That's very difficult. It's very difficult. How do we deal with the far left? I, I don't want to give you a Christianese answer, but they're illogical people. And they're very difficult to connect with because they were emotionally driven. They, or they don't care about facts. They literally do not care about facts. So how do you reach them? Number one, you got to pray for them and let God work on them. Number two is love them with the truth. Don't love them with your emotions. Don't love them with your good intentions. To win your leftist friends over is going to have to be a believer, supernatural event. It is spirit. It would be a spiritual event. Because if you've ever encountered this, this logic of thinking. Now, the Bible warns us that there are those that sin so much that God lets them go. Did you order? I said, I believe many of them, not all of them. I believe many of them are those people. That's why you can't, that you talk to them and you say, "Oh my goodness, that guy, that guy just, that guy just killed that animal or that kid or that person or did this." And they say, "Well, you don't, you don't know his story." And you know this stuff. It's hyper-humanistic existential insanity where the Bible said in the last days, people would call evil good and good evil. And we're seeing this. So pray that God would reach them, then love on them with truth, not emotions, and see what God does with that. Because that's the great thing about truth. Truth never fails. Lies always run out of gas. Lies always expose, always. You can bank on that. Lies will always come out in the end. Truth will be the last man standing. And that last man, of course, is the truth, Jesus. So, real quick, another question.
[Applause] [Music] Theologians on the internet? That's always been talked about. Yes. Total joke. Yeah. There are people who say, "You take that, you take the Young Lions, and I'll do the other one." Yeah. Well, it just doesn't work. They, again, the analogies there were given. First of all, we got Ezekiel 30, you know, 38, 39. You got the book of Revelation. There's sorry, your question was, yeah, want to repeat the question? Yeah, the question was basically, you know, post-tribulation rapture, America is in the Bible, the Young Lions, you've got that, you know, the harshest, and that, or the book of Revelation. You've got, you know, the Eagle talking about that. It's nothing to do with that. America didn't come along until, you know, recently in history. Number one. Number two, the different analogies that are the metaphors in the scripture always refer to something different, something that was there at the time. And so it just doesn't make sense. We're not going to go through the Great Tribulation Period because God doesn't beat up his bride. Okay? This is gonna be a time of the wrath of God to the world. And we are, First Thessalonians 5:9 says, "God has not appointed us to wrath, but through salvation for Jesus Christ." First Thessalonians 1:10 says, "We're looking for to heaven for the day when he rescues us from the coming wrath." So the very first letter Paul wrote talks about the end times where we'll rescue from that. And we're not appointed to wrath. And this is the wrath coming on this world because this is man's day, or human day, right now. God's day's gonna come. It's called the Day of the Lord. That's when the wrath of God comes to this earth. And believe me, as the Bride of Christ, we're not gonna be here. And we don't want to be here. Yeah. Keep this in mind, you guys. The, the internet theologians, the reason why they're internet theologians is because they can't have a church. And they don't go to church. They live in a basement, probably, of their mom. And they're theologians. You have no idea who they are. But this, this kind of stuff is a complete. When somebody's old, the church, the church has got to go through the tribulation period because of this verse or this that. Number one, thank God we were, well, your education is off the charts. I'm just grateful that I grew up in an awesome church. But you guys, to think that the Bible is saying something out of context, that's how you deceive yourself. Matthew 24, you mentioned Matthew 24. It's Jewish. It's Jewish. It says so. Well, the, but the, you know, I think I see the church in this. Then you're into replacement theology, which is growing, by the way. That the church has replaced Israel. Watch out for people who say the church has got to go through the tribulation period. They're often the deniers of Israel. They, they may agree that a Jew is alive and that Israel has a flag, but they'll tell you, if they're honest, "Oh, the government in Israel is an illegitimate government." They don't, they don't acknowledge Israel. And so they have replacement theology. And they've put the church in where Israel's supposed to be. And so if you do that, you will have the church in the tribulation period because Israel's become the church. Or the TV, you mess it up. No, Israel is Israel. And the seven years, by the way, if you read the book of Daniel, it has to be seven Jewish years because the 483 years were Jewish. And the 490 years that God says, "I'm gonna deal with you, Israel, about is regarding your people, Daniel, and your holy city." Daniel, 490 years, I've subscribed to them these dealings. And 483 of them years have been fulfilled. Then there's been a pause. And there's seven years. You got to find seven years in the Bible somewhere for God to fulfill. You know, you know, 483 from 490 is seven. It's the seven-year tribulation period. It's, it's Jewish. That's why you'd never see the church mentioned after Revelation chapter 4, verse 1. It has to be this way. It's like, you can save, you can save 15% on your auto insurance. Everybody knows this. Everybody knows the church is not in the tribulation period. It's Jewish. What, what we need to make it clear to, we're talking about the church. We're talking about the true believers in Jesus Christ. Hey, what am I old professor used to say? I know a lot of church that I'd go through the tribulation. They're not Princeton. Go. And so, um, yeah, that's good medicine. I was a great wine. Charles Feinberg. Oh, down there. Not yet. Don, I love that you guys who go to church here. You know, I've kind of given up on, I'm using the title Christian anymore. I didn't want to use it anymore. Everybody's a Christian. Well, I don't believe, I don't believe in the Bible, but I'm a Christian. I'm tired of hearing their word Christian. I like Christ follower. Are you a Christ follower? Are you following Jesus? I like that better.
But, uh, real quick, I know we're, uh, we're over. Yep. Yeah. Good. She says, "What's a good news source?" You will not, you will not have a good news source. You're gonna have to find. I'll answer my way. Duncan answer it his way. Odd. There's a few good news sources that are accurate because they care to be accurate. But I'm a big fan of looking at almost all of the news sources because I want to know. Somebody told me, they do. I can't believe you quoted CNN. Why? Why not? I watch MSNBC, I watch BBC, I watch i24, I watch French 24, I watch Al Jazeera, I watch ABC on top of it. I'll watch and read other international good sources. But if I have to give you one, are you ready? Get your bed ready. If I had to give you one, I would go with OAN. I'd go there. I'd go there. Secondly, I'd go to OAN News. OAN. That's good. Local. When I say local, it's America. It's news coming out of the United States. It's, it's, it's where I go to now. I mean, Fox is, Fox is getting very corrupt. CNN is insane. And all the other ones that worse. OAN is a, is family-owned, family out of San Diego. And they're very conservative. And they're very honest about their reporting. Don has his sources, I'm sure. Yeah. I five days a week, an hour a day, his channel, comedy will serve them called Breaking News. Who I deal with all this thing every single day, five days a week. And I run and I end the month with 200 stories. I never get to because I'm constantly looking at the news and constantly doing this. What we're doing tonight. Every sleeps. Yeah. Well, an hour to it's probably warn you though, would write or go. Fortunately, but yeah, literally his channel, comm, Breaking News, 10:11 Pacific time, every day. We do the latest stories, real-time, what's going on in the world from a biblical perspective. As far as we know, we're the only people that do this on the old face of the earth and give it to you, you know, literally. And tomorrow, my first door will be, will have to redo what it had yesterday because now it looks like Iran was intending to kill Americans there. And that brings up a whole new ballgame. But again, this is something we do. And it's a, it's a calling I have on my life. I love doing it. And to try and bring the news correctly because I, you know, the sources Jack mentions, I do those and literally dozens of others. My wife can testify, I'm always doing it. But try to simplify and put in a simple way so you can understand, like we've done tonight. You know, app, we don't have an app. It's kind of app. No, I know. It would be nice to have that mobilely, you know? Well, you get, you can watch it now. I could watch it right now. You know, I'm gonna walk around with. Well, that's true. That's true. Well, you know, you get, but we talked to Dennis about that. But anyway, yep. But so truthfully, we do this. And we do this for you. For the sake of the world. That's so they can understand from a biblical perspective. This, the news, always from a biblical perspective. We only do the stories that fit with what the scripture has to say about the days in which we live. So you can understand what life's all about. His channel, calm. Yeah. You guys, a one final thing. One final thing. We got, we got to go. Is so I'll tell you this, okay? And then I'll have to kill you. So the warheads that were discovered, the thousand pounders, you know, you can't, you can't know about that until you dig them up or till you figure it out or they, or you do the math. And we're very good at that. And so we did the math. And what is not being reported, kind of, you kind of got a hint. We have a new branch of military. Anybody note that? Is this the Space Force? Is this not awesome? Makes you want to put on like a Darth Vader outfit or something. But did you know that our satellite technology that's up in space, it, that you put these two truths together, and it spells bad, bad motive. And that is our satellites that do math in nanoseconds of time, the trajectory of these launches. Our computers, of course, the satellites figured it out that these were the targets. Okay, now we know. Now this has been, you can read this place's coupled with thousand-pound warheads. So that the satellite says, "Oh, that's gonna hit right here." It's kind of like how Iron Dome and the other is. Exactly. It's gonna hit right there. So we were told they were bluffing. They were just making sure they missed this. A, our technology works. Or B, which I think is the fact that God intervened for us. I really, I really think that God intervened for us. The enemy intended evil. And you see, you ever, no, no. But the technology, the satellite worked. And it, you know, what if the satellite worked? That's God. How many times do you pray when your cell phone doesn't work? "God, it doesn't work. Help." I think, I think the Lord is watching over. Okay. So you guys, we're gonna end right now. Oh, we'd even talk about the Ukrainian no liner. I don't, real, real quickly. Real quickly on the Ukrainian jetliner. Stay tuned. There's objective evidence that was shot down. And trust me, they're gonna blame the Americans for doing it. All right. It's not Boeing's fault. It's not Boeing's fault. It wasn't there. Wasn't something wrong. This was another story. One of the many we didn't get to. But we'll be talking about that tomorrow again on Breaking News. But there's evidence that it was shot down. Not by a missile, not with anything that is a heat source. That's a heat source. You can tell it. But with a, a weapon that, and the, the bullets that hit with the, you know, the side of what's left of the plane are evidence of that. And so, well, we'll be talking about it. You'll hear that as Don just said, you'll, you'll hear that. But the cool thing is, if you push and push and push to the truth, the weapon tree that was used, it's not American. But CNN's not gonna care about, you know, about the truth like that. Or those things tonight. If you died tonight, are you good with Jesus? Here's how, here's how you can tell. If you're concerned about dying, like, "Oh, what's, I don't know what's gonna happen to me." Then you're not good. You're not right with God. One of the, one of the wonderful fundamental truths of being a believer is that the Lord takes away from you the fear of death. I'm not talking about, I'm not talking about the sadness of missing your kids and your family. And I don't want to go. You know, I want to see my daughter get, you know, that, that's normal. But the Christian, where the Holy Spirit dwells within you, he takes away the sting of death and the grave. You're not, you're not afraid. You, you know that you, you just know that he's got you. If tonight, you don't think he has you, it's probably because he doesn't. If death scares you to death, there's a good chance you don't have the peace of God. Let's, let's pray right now. And why don't you get it? Okay. Heavenly Father, we come to you tonight. And we thank you that as we sit here, Jesus Christ is still Lord and Savior. You, Lord, are the one who not only, as we scratch the surface tonight, talk about Bible prophecy, you're the giver of eternal life. And you're the one who forgives sins. Now, how appropriate is that? You're amazing. The only one who has truly been sinned against is the very one who has offered forgiveness at your expense. Greater love has no man than this. And Lord, that tonight, if there's someone watching right now, someone here right now, that that challenge a moment ago just scared them, that they're petrified of death, they have no comfort that when they breathe their last breath and close their eyes, that they'll be escorted into glory in that instant. They have that, you, they have no comfort. Friend, if that's you tonight, today, wherever you are, as you hear this broadcast, as you're watching now, you can pray right now. Dear Lord Jesus, I ask you now to come into my life. I don't want to be afraid of death. I don't want to have my sins stapled to my life in my past. And I don't want to be thrown into a God-rejecting hell. I want Jesus as my Lord and Savior tonight. Wherever you're at right now, ask him, Lord, forgive me because I believe what your Bible says that you died on the cross for my sins and you rose again from the grave. That your God, you came to this earth for me. You lived your life in perfection in my behalf. You died in my behalf. You rose again from the dead on my behalf. And I put all of my faith in you. Not a church, not a person, not a movement, not a group, not nothing, but you. And I believe you to take care of me. Jesus, you're my hope. And you're my only hope. And you're the only hope I need. My friend, you call out to him tonight. And he says, "If anyone would call upon him, you would be saved." Okay. Thanks for watching Real Life YouTube channel.
