Are You Ready For What’s Next?

First of all, most people, uh, sad to say, in Christianity, most people, most Christians, most seminaries or churches don't teach or touch on biblical prophecy. And, um, and I understand that to a point. It takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of time. And, uh, it requires, uh, the most, uh, prerequisite thing of all, and that is, you'll never understand what biblical prophecy is unless you read the entire Bible. And a lot of people, uh, I don't even trust polls. You know, they, they take polls and they say, uh, so many Christians have never read through the Bible. I don't even believe those answers because, um, if Christians are not reading through their Bible, then they can lie about the poll. Does it make sense? 40% of Christians say they read all the way through the Bible. I bet you the number is less than that. Yes. >> Yes. >> That said, you'll never understand, and it's indicative of our age where ministries do not get into looking at what the Bible says about the future because, uh, they've not studied the incredible, beautiful reliability of biblical prophecy.

It's not, as Dr. Ed Heinson, you know, I miss him. I don't, uh, he went to heaven. He, he, he got out of here, but he would often come and speak here. Uh, dean of education at Liberty University and tremendous author. By the way, if you want to buy great books, buy anything that Dr. Ed Heinson has written, and you'll do fine. But that said, he's the guy that, uh, said this, and then everybody else steals it from him, that God did not give us Bible prophecy to scare us, but to >> prepare us. >> And that's a beautiful thing. And so, uh, we just want to look at that tonight.

But I got to tell you up front, I, I had mentioned to you last week that we were going to be bringing, uh, current updates into the, the message. Uh, that was last week. Uh, boy, uh, yeah, this week I'm, I'm glad we had the delay. Uh, even though some of the things that, uh, that we need to look at, uh, in light of what's happened since you and I met last week in our nation and in the world, uh, is somewhat unnerving. Uh, we've got to look at everything through a biblical worldview lens, right? Think about that. Um, I don't know what kind of sunglasses you like. Some people like gray ones, the gray lens or the, uh, amber lens or the rose lens, but everybody has their preference. Well, imagine putting on glasses that are lined with the filter or filtration of biblical prophecy, that whatever's going on in your world, our world, that there's a, a filter that begins to parse and set aside these things into compartments. You and I as Christians should be living our lives like that as believers. We should not be whimsical and running around crazy, upset or nervous about this or that. Why? Because we know that the God of the God that we were just singing about, >> do we really mean it? These songs that we were singing, do we really mean them? If we really mean them, then we're going to obey him and we are going to know him, and it's going to really make a difference in our lives because as the world continues to go down the course that it's on, people are going to become more terrified. But that's where you and I come in. You are going to become a powerful witness for the gospel of Jesus Christ, which, by the way, we sang about it tonight. Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross. That wasn't an accident. That wasn't things getting out of hand. Jesus did not get himself killed. Jesus Christ fulfilled the ancient prophecies of going to the cross, God incarnate, God in human flesh. Listen, our sins were so hideous and impossible to be forgiven that it took God coming into this world AND BECOMING ONE OF US, living the perfect life that he did to go to the cross as the perfect sacrifice that he was so that you and I can be so, so very saved and so very forgiven because the price that was paid for our debt was so overwhelmingly perfect that the Bible tells us it met all THE DEMANDS OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God that is now found in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. And on the third Yes, you can thank him for that. And on the third day, Jesus Christ rose again from the dead. And I love that because, uh, the grave could not hold him. We were just singing the gra why, you know, be a theologian all the time or a 5-year-old. They're the similar thing because a good theologian will always ask questions. How come? Why? Because is not an answer. You can't turn to your 5-year-old and say because that's not an answer. You got to give them the answer. And a good theologian, which you are, is why, why is it on what basis was the grave unable to keep Jesus bound? That's a good question. Why was the grave unable to hold Jesus's body in the tomb? Because death had no power over him. Because listen, sin gives power to death. Death comes in where sin is. In fact, the book of Romans tells us there was no death in the world until sin entered the world. But Jesus, the Bible says, never sinned. So imagine for a moment. Imagine this is the body of Jesus laying in the tomb. The body and death. I'm death. Imagine that I'm death and I'm coming to his body. And with my arrival comes decay, rot, um, destruction. And so death comes to the body of Jesus Christ. Though he was 100% man, he was 100% God. >> And so death was looking around and looking for a crack, looking for a place to enter in. Imagine death examines the offering of Jesus Christ. And death can't find anything. There's no crack. >> There's no entrance. And death needs an entrance to grab on to hold you in that state of death. But until Christ came, the grave always won. But he did come. And the fact that Christ and his offering on the cross was acceptable to the Father. The Bible says because there was no sin in him. His offering pleased the Father. And on the third day, the power of the Holy Spirit raised Christ from the dead. >> Hallelujah. >> Amen. I want you to remember that. That's probably the most important thing that I'll say tonight. And I mean it. There's no greater news than that.

In all that our world is going to encounter, at whatever time only God knows, just know this, that you and I as a believer, we have been ordained by God to be living at a time like this. It's not an accident that you're a Christian right now. And young people, tonight, I want you to really take that to heart. You're not an accident. Your timing is not an accident. Your, your station in life is not an accident. And all the stuff around you is not going to victimize you. All that stuff that's going on against your life is going to prepare you because God's got a tremendous work for you to do and, and a great mission. And that is, of course, uh, living out the gospel. Uh, so last time, and it applies tonight, we're looking at the challenging question, "Are you ready for what's next?" And, um, I want to put this quote up. Uh, but I guess we should always start with the theme verse of it all. It's beautifully comforting. It's so profound. One little verse, so theologically powerful. John 14:29 is the theme to our applied series. Jesus said, "And now I have told you before it comes." Think on that for a moment. I'm going to tell you the future before it happens. That's what Jesus said. If you're a doubter, atheist, skeptic, gnostic, uh, agnostic, you got to stop right now and you got to, you got to wrestle with that. You got to wrestle with that statement. And at that comma, you got to pause. And Jesus said it, so it's up to you to disprove him wrong. Jesus said it. You ought to challenge him to see if what he said was true. That's quite a statement. You got to admit, everybody. Come on. Quite a statement. "I have told you before it comes." For what reason? Why? That when it does come to pass, here's the point. You may believe. >> Bible prophecy. If Bible prophecy has a foundation, this is one of those key statements, if not the key statement.

So, I want to read you this, uh, this quote on the screen right now. The Bible, like no other writings in all of human history, has the unparalleled ability to predict the future in advance. The reason for this is due to the nature of God who is transcendent over all time, space, and matter. He being the uncreated creator. Oh, I like that. Is not subject to the limitations of his creation as we are. In other words, well, WHO CREATED GOD? Oh, let us be the first to introduce you to the uncreated creator because everything in creation must be subject to space, time, and matter. God, who is spirit, is not. He's outside of that domain. He created it. Listen, who's more powerful? Uh, a Mercedes-Benz car or Mr. Mercedes and Mr. Benz? It's Mr. Mercedes and Mr. Benz because why? They can create another one and another one. The car is less than the creator, and God is greater than his creation, and his creation is amazing. He has fallen as it is. It is amazing. Isaiah 42:9 says, "Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare. Before they spring forth, I tell you of them." Now, that's a beautiful, uh, statement. I think the law of biblical interpretation is known as expositional constancy. Meaning, uh, John 14:29 and Isaiah 42:9 say the same thing, though they be a thousand years apart. Are you hearing me? >> It's amazing. Are you guys okay? >> Second Peter, uh, chapter 1, uh, verse 9. Second Peter chapter 1, uh, sorry, verse 19. Second Peter 1, verse 19. This is Peter, uh, speaking, and it's so powerful. And so he says, "We have the prophetic word confirmed." So how do you have a prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place? In fact, you can USE IT LIKE A FLASHLIGHT until the day dawn and the morning star rises in your hearts. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation. In other words, you can't make that cult up on your own. You can't, you can't do that. I mean, you're going to do it, but you're just, you're actually sinning against scripture because you cannot make stuff up and say, "Well, this Bible says this." No, it doesn't. The Bible says you cannot make up private interpretations of things. In other words, let the Bible comment on the Bible. For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. That's the work of God in our lives. So, we have to remember that as we look through and consider the things that we're talking about, uh, tonight.

One more thing because, uh, it's comforting. Isaiah chapter 46, uh, 9 and 10. God says, "Remember the former things of old." So go back and think about the things that have happened that you can remember. God says, "Therefore I am God, and there is no >> other." Is there anybody knocking on the door of your house telling you that there's other gods on other planets and other places, and if you're a good boy or girl, you can become a god too? >> Does it sound familiar? >> That's the doctrine that Satan used in the Garden of Eden. No, there's only one God, and you're not him. >> And I'm not him. He says there's no other. "I am God, and there is none like me." Notice his proof. This is what he says. This is his argumentation. You would have thought that he would say, "And I'm GOING TO SAVE ALL MANKIND." That's true. But he didn't say that. He said, "This is HOW YOU'LL KNOW I'M THE TRUE GOD." "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done." Wow. "Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.'" That's the great word of God.

And so, I, I'm just going to ask you tonight, um, to underscore and stress the matter. In my notes, I've written down, uh, on page two, that, uh, we need to probably pay attention, uh, to the date, uh, of today. This is Wednesday, July 22nd, uh, of this year. We might want to mark that down in our minds. And by the way, you can get the notes right now on your device and have all of them because I never, uh, cover all of my notes, uh, in a message. I just never get to them. But you can have all the, all the verses and, and the like. So, um, obviously, uh, we, we are in our nation's 250th birthday year, and, um, that being the case, it's a year of celebration. Um, and, um, I know that there's been a lot of programming, there's a lot of books, there's a lot of documentaries, there's, and, and still this year, there's going to be more and more things as our nation celebrates. And that's wonderful, and that's great. Um, but what I want to make sure that we throw out there is that we don't, um, we don't forget God in the midst of our celebration. Um, one thing I would like to hear more about our 250th birthday as a nation is that we are a very, very thankful people. >> Um, one of the reasons why is because we are, we are a very blessed people. >> Um, we have, we, we probably have more than one or two pairs of shoes. We probably have more than one or two shirts or pants. Are you hearing me? >> Uh, you probably came here tonight in some form of mechanized or motor vehicle of some type. And if you walked here tonight, maybe it's because you wanted to. If you go to bed hungry tonight, it's probably because you can choose to go to bed hungry tonight. We are the most blessed people on the planet. But my argument tonight is this, regarding Bible prophecy, and you'll see why in a moment. We should be the most thankful people on the planet. >> And unfortunately, I think in many ways, because we have misplaced God in all of our affluence, is that we've become sometimes the most disgruntled or the most, um, complaining people. Like Goldilocks. She should have been happy that she had some porridge, but she was upset because it wasn't the temperature of her liking, or the bed, or the whatever else the thing goes. I don't even remember. But so you say, Jack, I don't know if I, I don't, I don't if I like that tone. I'm not saying you're unthankful. I'm talking about us as a nation because it matters. So church, I'm going to read through this because it's going to matter in some, in some way, in some time. Could be soon, uh, could be, uh, in the near future, or could be, uh, sometime away. But I'm going to use it as, as our, uh, reading and why we need to do this as an update. It's Ezekiel chapter, uh, 38. And I'll just read it to you. And I'm going to ask you again, please, uh, either take pictures or, uh, you know, you're going to want to scan that QR code. But this is the, this is God speaking to the prophet Ezekiel. Uh, you're going to hear him being, being called the son of man. Uh, don't worry about that. Jesus is the son of man. Uh, Ezekiel is called the son of man. God calls him that. Uh, don't let that throw you off. This is an ancient prophecy of the Hebrews in your Bible. And the great prophet Ezekiel spoke much about not only the future, but also Ezekiel was allowed to see remarkable things of heaven. And when he describes them, go ahead and read them. But that's about as far as you can go with them because if you try to figure out what he's telling you, it'll break your brain. It's just, it's crazy. In fact, you might want to ask, uh, Chat GPT to describe to you what Ezekiel the prophet was trying to communicate, and, and watch, watch how long it takes Chat GPT to figure it out. It gives it a headache. So, but someday we're going to see those angelic creatures. But that's not in this chapter. The near future is in this chapter.

"Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, that is Ezekiel, son of man, set your face against Gog in the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshach, and Tubal, and prophesy against him." No problem there. We know exactly where that is because we've read Genesis chapter 10 and 11. It's the regions north of the Caucasus Mountains, which are in southern Russia. And say, "Thus says the Lord God, behold, I am against you, O Gog." Gog is a, a political military leader all wrapped up in one man. It's a title. It's not a person. That's not his name. Gog. It's a title of an individual person who holds military and political dominance over a country, that region. "The prince of Rosh, Meshach, and Tubal." We know exactly where that is. "I will." God says, notice, "I will turn you around." In the understanding of this is, you're not willing, you're not looking. You're in the opposite direction. But I, God, will turn you Gogg around. "I'm going to turn YOU AROUND. PUT HOOKS INTO your jaws and lead you out with all of your army, horses and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields." Now, we don't use that kind of terminology, but you got to go back, uh, 2,800 years ago to Ezekiel's day, and he's trying to describe an army. He's doing the best he can. "All of them handling swords. Persia," we call Persia, what do we call Persia today? Iran. "Ethiopia and Libya," and Libya, all Muslim, by the way, are with them. "All of them with shields and helmet. Gomer and all its troops, the house of Togarmah, the regions of Turkey and above, uh, Syria in that region from the far north, and all its troops." Again, all of the ones that are mentioned, everything that's been mentioned right here, right now, are Muslims. Now, that's interesting because this is an ancient prophecy, but Islam is not ancient. Think of that. Islam came, came around, uh, in the seventh century. How did Ezekiel know that? "Many people are with you." Verse 7. "Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you. Watch this, and be a guard for them." Go look the word up, guard, in Hebrew, in Ezekiel. The word guard here means be to be a supplier, a provider, uh, one who, um, equips. "After many days," this is God speaking, God, the Lord. "After many days, you will be visited." Isn't that kind of eerie language? God is saying, in many days, or at the time of the end, you're going to be visited. I'm going to call upon you. Uh, you're going to be an instrument or a tool. Watch this. "In the latter years," the last days, "you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people or nations on the mountains of" say the word >> Israel. >> It's in your Bible. It's not Palestine. >> It's Israel. >> We're reading a 2,830-year-old prophecy here, folks. "It says Israel, which had long been desolate. They were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely." See the word dwell and safety. It's one word in Hebrew. All of them are back in their land, and they assume that they're safe. It's a false safety. It's not real. Go look it up. I'm going to be saying that a lot tonight. Go look it up. Israel is going to come back to their land in the last days. They're going to dwell in their land, and they're going to be living in a moment when they feel like they are safe, but they're really not. Interesting. And, um, verse 9, "You will ascend," speaking about Gog, "you will ascend coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you." "Thus says the Lord God, on that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan. You will say, 'I will go up against a land of unwalled villages. I will go to a peaceful people who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls and having neither bars nor gates.'" Stop right there. Guess what? That's not describing the Israel of right now. Israel survives because they have a terrorist wall that they built around their country. By the way, when they built that wall, terrorism went down 99%. It works. They don't feel safe today. This is somewhat in the future. Verse 12. I'm sorry, not verse 12. Um, yes, verse 12. "They're still, uh, thinking to take a plunder. They to take a plunder and to take a booty or reward or, um, like loot, to take, uh, the spoils, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations." SPEAKING ABOUT THE JEWS. "You have acquired livestock and goods who dwell in the midst of the land." Watch this. This is, uh, what's known as an insightful insert, parenthetical insert. "Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, all of their young lions." This is remarkable. Sheba and Dedan. When you look at the table of nations, uh, in the scriptures, Sheba and Dedan, that region, we call it a different name today. We call it after the name of a family, uh, after World War II. Um, have you ever heard of Saudi Arabia? Arabia is Arabia. It's always been Arabia. In the book of Galatians, the Bible tells us that Paul the Apostle went into Arabia. Arabia is Arabia. But Saudi, who's Saudi? Saudi. Who's the Saudi? What's a, what's a Saudi? The Saudi family. Today we think Saudi Arabia. Back then they didn't know any Saudi. It wasn't a family to them. Sheba and Dedan is today the area of Saudi Arabia. Remarkable. Watch this. "The merchants of Tarshish." You can do, uh, the, uh, what's the word? Etymology on the word Tarshish. Uh, uh, the merchants of tin. Tin. You know, metal. Yeah. >> Uh, whoever the merchants of tin are, Tarshish. Well, it's interesting because have you ever heard of Britannia? >> Britain, the land of tin. Tin mining. Uh, if you ever been to England, the Cornwall region is all about mining tin. The merchants of Tarshish is a reference to Western European locations. Remember Jonah? Was it Jonah? Yes. Jonah got on a ship headed for where? Tarshish would have been land's end. The end of the world in his mind because the great sea was called, or is called today, the Mediterranean. Is this boring? >> No. >> I think you're bored. >> No. >> Uh, we'll keep going because I do need to pick it up because I have a lot to show you. So I need to stop, uh, stop doing this. Um, I need to stop interrupting myself. "And all their young lions will say to you." Some people say that America, Canada are reference, uh, the young lions is the reference to nations that came out of, uh, Tarshish. We don't know that for a fact. It's possible, but no, you can't, it's, you can't prove it. Um, in other words, and it's true, America is nowhere mentioned in scripture. No matter what people try to make it say this, it's got, it's an eagle, and so our symbols, stop it. That's, that's not how it works. Uh, and the young lions will say to you, notice what they say. So the European nations, including Saudi Arabia, will say, "Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take loot or booty, to carry away silver and gold, and take away livestock and goods, and take great plunder?" Notice, do you know what that's called? That's called a United Nations, uh, resolution, uh, complaining about something. That's all they say. We'd like to file a complaint. Have you, are you invading Israel, uh, because you want to take all their wealth? You know what's interesting about that statement? Everybody get ready to oo and ah. This prophecy assumes that a people would be dispersed throughout all the world, come back to their own land in the last days, dwell, dwell in an imaginary safety, and have their land to become very productive and very profitable. That the nations in view, that's why these Muslim nations being led by Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshach, and Tubal. That's why you've come, that you're coming to steal their wealth. Ladies and gentlemen, that is an awesome statement, a declaration that you cannot ignore. In the ancient Bible, it says the future of Israel, it will be very, very prosperous. So much so that there'll be nations who will have a confederacy to come together to attack it. And even the world will say, "You must have come down there to go to, to take them because of all their wealth." And that is true right now. The land, a, a nation the size of New Jersey, and what they put out in in gross national, uh, product, GDP, is insane. Their economy, their, their debt ratio is amazing. Who would have thought? But here we are.

Verse 15. "Then you will come from your place out of the far, uh, north," which is fun. The most northern area from Jerusalem. It's kind of amazing. I'll just say this, the most, the furthest part you can. So leave Jerusalem and go as far north as you can go. That's what this means. And you can see it in your head. You got, you'll go right through from Jerusalem. If you go to magnetic north or true north, uh, one of those courses are going to take you through Murmansk or Moscow. It's remarkable. "But the Bible's so specific. From the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and mighty army. You will come up against my people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against my land." So the result being that the na, here's the per, here's the point, that the nations may know me when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes." That means God is rolling up his sleeves at about this point. "Thus says the Lord God, are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them? And it will come to pass at that time when Gog comes against the land of Israel, says the Lord God." And there's a comma right there, and this is very important because it's very, very possible that the following section may be a dual or near-far fulfillment of prophecy. It, it, that's a very common thing, a near and far fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Uh, so that comma, we see it in English as a comma. God may be done with that section. It's very possible. Next, "that my fury will show in my face, for in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel." Now, this may be again, a far fulfillment. "So that the fish of the seas, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at my presence. The mountains shall be thrown down. The steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all my mountains, says the Lord God." Every, He calls, God calls the mountains of Israel his mountains. I like that. Are you guys okay still? "Every man's sword will be against his brother." That's a, you, you haven't heard that since Genesis. There is a particular son of Abraham who his sword is always against his brother's neck. Do you know who I'm talking about? Ishmael. >> Ishmael. Isn't that interesting? These guys too. H their swords. They'll be, they'll attack each other. Um, verse 22. "And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and with bloodshed. I will rain down on him and his troops and many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, and fire and brimstone. Thus I will magnify myself and sanctify myself. I will be known in the eyes of many nations." Wow. "Then they shall know that I am the Lord." Okay. Wow.

Now, let's be honest. You just read, you just read a very, very important Bible prophecy, but you may not have read it before. And if you have, great. But one thing is sure, we could all leave tonight, and you've got more Bible than you just now, uh, than you have in a while. Especially from Ezekiel. You can tell your friends tomorrow, "I read a chunk of Ezekiel last night." That's, that's, that's a pretty, uh, beautiful thing. Uh, with that said, uh, I want to, um, look at the current events because on the scene, on the horizon of what is known as biblical eschatology, people will ask the question, biblically speaking, what could happen next in this world apart from the rapture of the church? What could happen next? Well, there's two things that could happen, uh, biblically, clearly from the Bible. Two things that could happen are very, very clear. Uh, one, we're not going to get into, but that's Isaiah 17. Uh, Ezekiel 38. The second thing, we will get into. But Isaiah 17 has not yet been fulfilled either. And how do we know that? Because it says that in Syria of Damascus, there will be a fire that begins in its wall, and it will be completely obliterated. So much so that no one will ever be able to live there again. Well, guess what? People live there right now. People have always lived there. Damascus, in fact, is one of the most, uh, longest, one of, it's in the category of a handful of cities or areas that have been the longest on earth, uh, inhabited. You got to remember, you're going back to the regions of what is known as the fertile crescent or the cradle of civilization era, back in that time. So I'm going to go through this stuff, um, just systematically now. So it might be boring to you. I hope not. Um, but, um, if you're taking notes, I'm on page four. And so guys, um, I'm going to point out those three things. So at this time right now, the Middle East is the epicenter of world news, obviously. And with what's happening right now, uh, in the world around us, um, the United States, uh, with Israel. Now, it's really, honestly, the United States. I, I can tell you about that in a second. On Saturday, February 28th, 2026, five months ago, the United States launched Epic Fury, and you guys know all about that. And, um, and we're so, we're five months down the road, and, um, things have not stopped, have they? Um, but guys, back up. Can you back up to those three things? That said, uh, we're five months into it. The United States, and you may or may not be aware that, uh, the, the US has had a very heavy hand on the nation of Israel. Now, I know that what I'm saying right here will go around the world, and it will get in the hands of people. So, I'm going to be very careful about what I say. After October 7th, 2023, Israel was going to do whatever it took to keep itself in existence because, you know, they kind of have some proof, evidence of the world trying to exterminate them over human, over the course of human history. It's not like they're making it up. You can ask, you can ask the Egyptian Empire, Babylonian Empire, Medo-Persian Empire, and, and on and on it goes, to the Third Reich, to Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Islamic agenda that is, uh, Islam. The Jews have got to go. So, and if you spend your time shouting death to Israel, kill the Jews, if they start to believe you, you know, it's war. But the United States has been holding Israel back from doing what it wants to do. And I'm sure there are, in argument-wise, good reasons for this from our perspective, but Israel has been, you haven't hardly heard anything. In fact, Iran hasn't even been hitting Israel for the longest time. What's going on? Number one, we know that when Israel is at war, we know that whatever Israel does, it does swiftly and effectively. There's a, there's a reason for this. Because Israel is so limited, it cannot prosecute what is called an extended war. Do you understand that? They can't war very long. They don't have the space. They don't have the resources. What they do? They do big because they cannot do it long. Make sense? This is important. Number two, the rate at which the US is expending its arsenal is a concern in longevity. Right now, as of tonight, the United States, by having Israel stand down, the United States has been going forward, and we were really laying it out there, big, strong, and hard. We had, uh, massive naval presence, air force presence. Uh, we, we do still, but, uh, during the 60-day, remember the 60-day ceasefire thing, a lot of Navy assets began to leave the region. Some people were home for four days, and they had to turn around and go back. Some of our ships are still on their way back to the Middle East right now. What's going on? What's happening? Did the United States expect this to be over by now is the question. But there was a 60-day pause, or the MOU, the memorandum of understanding, which was simply the memorandum of understanding with Iran was, "Will you agree to sit down, cease hostilities, and let's talk? Let's talk about a peace treaty." It wasn't a peace treaty. It was an agreement to talk about one. Three, the revelation of a China-Russia union to stop the USA regarding Iran and Persia is currently in effect, and we're going to talk about that tonight. It's very unnerving what's going on. And so, um, in the 60 days, 60 days of pause, uh, do you know who asked for a pause? Anybody remember? Did the United States ask for a timeout? >> Who asked for a timeout? Iran. >> Iran. Um, I, I'm going to, I'm going to avoid some of you. You know Arabic, and you know, you already know the answer. I, I'll look over here. Why would, why would Iran ask for a, a timeout? >> It's called, it's called Hudna. >> Hudna. When you're war, when in Islam, when you're fighting your opponent and you're losing, you, you, you ask for a timeout. >> Let's talk peace. Let's talk peace. You never intend to do peace. You say peace while you rearm. >> For real. Now, why President Trump did not know that? I don't know. Shame on his advisors. >> Or did they know that? I don't know. You're starting to hear more and more leading, uh, national and military leaders say, "We never should have taken our boot off the neck." That's the term they used yesterday. We shouldn't have paused. We shouldn't have taken our boot off the neck. Well, why are they saying that? Number one, guys, this is what went on today. The honoring of soldiers, airmen that were killed this week. Are you aware of this? >> How were they killed? How did this happen? It's now known. I'm not telling you any secrets. It's now known that Iran, after being engaged in war with the United States of America since February 28th, rather than being blown to smitherines and decimated and crushed and put, whatever word you want to put in there, in the last seven days, Iran's ability to hit us has dramatically increased. And in tandem, we have not been able to stop their attacks with our Patriot or THAAD anti-missile system. THAAD and Patriot, the THAAD system in conjunction with Patriot, nobody could stop nothing. It was fantastic. It was, I said this week, we just found out that these military personnel were killed with direct precision hits. 80 different strikes by Iran against the United States. 80. Five different countries. Five different countries. All United States military installations. All of that done in 1 hour and 27 minutes with massive, massive losses of US military air power. In other words, aircraft were blown up in their hangers and as they were on the tarmac in these other countries, and the, and a United States, uh, drone manufacturing and repair facility, I believe it was in Bahrain, was blown to bits. Perfect precision. How did this happen? During the 60-day break, five cargo aircraft were seen monitored. By the way, if you have Flight Radar 24, you, which you should have it, everybody has it. I have it. You should have it. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun. Five Chinese cargo aircraft during that, during that pause, flew into Iran. We, we just, I, I don't, I don't know. We know that. We just know that. We don't know why we let it. Why? What could we have done about it? We don't know. And who was the first to violate the peace, the, the peace agreement? Was it us? >> Was it Iran? >> When did Iran break the, the agreement? After the cargo planes went back to China. They were rearmed during the Hudna. They were restocked with Chinese weaponry. And now what we have going on right now is Chinese military weapon technology that has never been proved in actual battle until this last week. And you can look it up. Please look it up. But just spend time looking it up. They deployed Bado 3. Bet 3. You may have heard of Bado 1 and BO2. Bet one used in telecommunications in China in cities. They perfected that. Then they went to Bedo 2, which was, uh, communication systems regarding, uh, the Pacific area of that region, of, of the, uh, West Pacific region, and again, for telecommunications, and now there's Bato 3. What is, what is Bato? Have you ever heard of GPS? GPS is owned and operated by the United States government. It's a classified, uh, technology, and our government lets, uh, companies use it. GPS. China did a weapons test against Taiwan, I believe it was 1999. It could have been 2000, 2001. I, I don't remember exactly. But China did a weapons test with an ICBM, intercontinental ballistic missile. They launched it. It was just a test. They were not going to blow up Taiwan. They were testing if they could blow up Taiwan. And that missile went absolutely hairbrain crazy and went out into the Pacific and crashed, and China had lost total control of it. When news came out, China was terribly, terribly embarrassed because it was then found out that the United States could took control of the rocket. How could the United States take control of a Chinese military rocket? Because the whole world had to function off of GPS. The rocket system used a GPS system. China was so embarrassed that China pivoted on their military spending and they went into a massive military buildup mode. You got to remember something. 20 years ago, folks, 30 years ago, um, you wouldn't have taken China seriously regarding military. They went on a, a tremendous program to build, and they developed a system that we are now learning about. And that system was used on these, with, I should say, these Iranian drones and rockets. And here's what's, uh, well, here's one of many things that's unnerving. Our THAAD system, our Patriot system, never even saw them go by. They operate on a completely different technology, a completely different way of thinking that that is so advanced beyond us that we got caught with our pants down as a military. We settled back on our laurels so long, for so many decades, we went to sleep in our, we've got GPS. How many of you flown into, uh, Denver airport? If you're on the left side of the airplane, you've seen those massive white domes that are covering massive radar systems. That's key to the GPS program. By the way, that is, uh, in Aurora. Um, and that is, if I remember right, is it Buckley? Does Buckley space for space? Is that right? >> Buckley. Did you know that technology? We're still using it. Do you know, you know that technology was installed in 1977? But we've got it. So we're good. We're fine. We don't need to worry about anything. We're America. And while we were sleeping, we just woke up this week to find out that we're not safe anywhere in the Middle East. We're not safe anywhere in the Pacific because we can't stop the Boss 3 system. We have to learn about it now. In fact, I saw today at Jane's Defense, Jane's, that they said it's going to take the United States somewhere between, we, we will possibly have a response by the mid-2030s. Ladies and gentlemen, this is, this is not a good thing because our GPS systems is what detects things, and then we take care of it. And we can also, because we create a GPS, we know how to jam it. The reason why the Iranians have been hitting us lately is because we haven't been able to jam it because they're using Bato 3. We can't jam it. There are rumors, you can read about it. This is not secret that the technology that is used with part of our, a key component to the United States stealth aircraft system incorporates special versions of GPS. Of course, the aircraft have critical angles, the way that they're created, and special type. They called it skin. The aircraft has radar absorbing materials. Bet3 is not affected by that stuff. See, what are you saying? Bet 3 stealth technology doesn't work with BO3. That means you can see an F-22 and an F-35. We just got done boasting that we can come and go as we please and nobody CAN SEE US. THAT WAS true a couple weeks ago. It's not true now, ladies and gentlemen. All these years of our political leaders playing games, funding all kinds of stupid things that didn't matter to your protection and national security. We can, we can fund the international, you know, research program of gay frogs, but we failed to update our GPS to compete against Bado 3. And now we're in trouble. Say, why are you saying this? My argument tonight is this. What if Ezekiel is correct? What if those western nations, all they say when Israel's invaded is, "Are are you here? Are you going there to take a spoil?" Not one nation comes to Israel's defense. That, that includes us. What's going to happen? I don't know. I hope. Well, I'm going to end with a big hope in a minute, and I'm very excited about that. But I want to just march through these things. Um, so guys, um, video, I'm not video. Um, yes, that's it. Iran's wild, uh, wide, Iran's widest Gulf strike hits four states as, uh, Beo kills US jamming def, uh, defense. This is, uh, what magazine is this? I looked at so many today, my head hurts. Doesn't matter. You can, you can take a picture. You can look it up, or it's un, it's in the notes anyway. It's on the notes. Next, uh, next slide. Uh, Canada right now. Canada. "Let's free ourselves of the US and forge closer ties with China." No. No. It's a smart thing for them to do. Smart thing for them to do because what China has offered Canada, listen, guys, Canada's a beautiful, wonderful place, but it operates in the deficit. It needs, uh, it needs help financially. It's got too many social programs, among other things. But whatever. That said, um, China has made incredible offers to Canada, and Canada's argument is, "Let's go with China. America's not helping us. We can be much more secure with China." Can you imagine? Can you imagine if China bellies up to the bar with Canada? That changes everything, folks, in our hemisphere. Next slide. Iran confirms GPS jamming, eyes switch to Chinese system. By the way, I, I'm going to be off by one or two. The United States GPS system that you and I work off of, and all of our Google Maps, I'm not Google Maps, but, uh, but you know, like Apple Maps, um, >> all that kind of stuff, Waze. Um, it uses GPS. Has your GPS ever failed you? >> Of course. >> It, it can only be accurate so, so much. Not, not Bet 3. In fact, if you have an Android, your Android has been built in such a way it makes its own decision on this. And, and Apple cannot use, Apple contract. It's against, it's against the law. Apple cannot use beta3 technology. They can't access it by, by, uh, United States national security. But Android technology, Androids, Android, your Android thinks about which one to use from whatever country you're at. It could go to the, uh, European system. It could go to the US GPS. It could go to, uh, China's, uh, beta 3. It makes the decision. That's why if you look up on, if you Google right now, "Hey Google, does my phone use beta3 or BDS technology?" It will say something like this. Um, it could use it, or it's not common for it to use it. But if you ask it about Apple, it says Apple cannot use it. The reason why it says it could, very

clever how it's speaking to you, is because it depends on where you're at. It doesn't always use it.

You listen, your Android system will use the strongest signal without you even knowing it and use it and you'll LOVE YOUR SERVICE. WOW, THIS IS THE BEST. Little do you know, United States has something like 25 or 27, let's just be generous, let's say 30 global positioning satellites that make your GPS happen. Bato 3 has 45 and they're still sending new ones up. There's nowhere on earth, listen, there's nowhere on earth that Bato doesn't reach.

Which is why China has been deploying their policies and technologies in places like Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, South America. Are you sitting down? Cuba. Next slide if we have one. No, we don't have one. Let me see. I got to I'm gonna Let's do this.

So, you have what's going on in the Middle East right now. Why in the You might say, "Why in the world would China help Iran?" That's a good question. China has to have Iran. China has to have Iranian oil or somebody else's oil. But up up until the war, Iran gave that's their that's China's uh fuel tank. And they're getting desperate. China's getting desperate.

So why would why would Chinese help Muslim crazies? Listen. What do what do you know what China does to Muslims? Anybody know? >> Tell me. >> Uh, okay. Let's do it in order. Persecute them. Arrest them >> and kill them. China. China kills Muslims. Why are you You should know that. Look up the Weaguers and see what happens to them.

So why would they why would they be helping? Because and I always get this saying wrong. The friend, how is it? The friend of my enemy. The enemy of my friend is my friend. Enemy. You know what I'm saying? I don't even know what I'm saying. The f I don't know. Look it up.

China has no Listen, China is godless atheistic communist, right? They will use Islam. They will capitalize on Islam's insanity and its fury to get its own way. Right now, if Iran uses Hezbollah and Hamas as a proxy, right now, China is using Iran as a proxy, and America's the target. And I don't know who's going to tell you this, but I think you should know that.

I want you guys to um to watch this because Islam is is expecting their Messiah to come back, but they but he can't come back until they create a fire. Did you know that they have to create a global fire for him to come back? You say, "I don't believe that." Nobody cares what you believe. They don't care WHAT I BELIEVE. THAT'S WHAT THEY BELIEVE. Listen to this. Watch this. Democracy. form. I getchech. form. I don't know about fight war until or so that the hidden imam the Mi returns. We talk about the Antichrist in the Bible. That's the Madi to them. That's the one that they're thinking that's going to come and rescue them. But their doctrine is for the Shia is to create a configuration of fire in the world. that once that ra once that has happened and the infidels are being blown up and and the world's on fire, then their Messiah will come to bring judgment and peace. Remember, they're talking about a different God than you have in the Bible. very important you you understand that we need to be careful and I believe that we should be praying and being absolutely informed, serious, joyful, evangelistic about the times in which we live in.

Because God said that in the latter days, Israel would have to be back in their land. You read it tonight. God said that Israel would have to be productive. It is. That their land would have to be desirable enough for a confederacy of nations that just so happens to be in the 21st century Islamic.

So, here's what I want to leave you with, though, most importantly is what if what if right now what's happening in the in the Middle East and with Iran, what If option one, what if there is an actual uh rising up of the Persian people and the Islamic regime since 1979 is overturned? What if the IRGC is defeated? Tracking. Are you tracking? and the crown prince of Iran is reinstated. Remember his father, the Sha of Iran. What if that were to happen? Who do you think would feel safe if that were to happen? >> Israel.

What if that were to happen and there's a brief season of peace? Because we know this. There is no mention of America on those verses you read, but there is the mention of Persia. >> Yes, >> we know this for sure. Persia will survive this current war. Will America? I don't know. That's not for me to determine. But what if what if this regime change happens in Iran? And I'm now I'm I'm just guessing. What if we get a year, two years, three, what if we got five years where it's quiet and calm and peaceful? it would all for me come together.

Many of you know that I told you that when COVID broke out and the world shut down in Iran, the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington detected massive download of information. So much so that it triggered alert systems and it was looked into. And out of all the countries in the world, it just so happens that Iran during CO were downloading more Bible sermons, Bibles, digital Bible, Christian books. So much so that it triggered the attention of the CIA to see what it was that they were downloading. That is an absolute fact. Is it possible that God was, so to speak, sewing the seed of his word into the land of Persia, the Persian people? Yeah. >> Is it possible maybe that all that's going on for all kinds of reasons that you and I may never know? But there's one reason and there's one purpose we do live for and look for and that is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus to every man, woman, boy, or girl in the world.

What if God were to open up the doors of Iran so that the gospel can go in? What if we get the opportunity? What if what if we had the opportunity to get US passports and get on over there like we did in Russia for decades and start planting churches in Iran? Amen. >> What if we started having what if the opportunity God gave us to proclaim the gospel in the parks and in the open places or at city centers in various key Iranian cities? What if the government said we want the gospel in here? You know, it wouldn't be the first time. You guys have you ever heard of Daniel in your Bible? Daniel used to live there. The Babylonian Empire, the Persian, Meo Persian Empire. It's not unusual for God to have his people in that land. >> I think there's a lot of Christians probably of course undercover all over Iran. >> God, >> what if What if you and I are alive for such a time as this?

Listen, as Americans, we will do what we should. We love our country and you fight for your country and you fight for your freedoms. That's normal. Every citizen of their country is to do that. We are called to do the righteous thing to honor God with our lives. We leave the results to him. I'm just conflicted because I see what's going on and I'm wondering, "Wow, Lord, I mean, I want to go up now, but if you were to say to me, can you like wait a few years, Jack, because I'd like you to be in Iran preaching the gospel in the streets." >> Oh my. I would I would gladly say, "Okay, I'll wait." Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you say, "Okay, I'll wait to go do that." Look, we're going to go to heaven. That's the default. That's where we're going anyway. But to go do that to bring hope and to proclaim and to strengthen and encourage those that are there right now as believers that are hiding. >> Some 40 plus thousand have been murdered by the IRGC recently right in the streets.

I didn't even get to Cuba. There's a massive massive Chinese technology, military development taking place right now in China. I'm I'm sorry, Chinese military developments, construction. And guess what? in in Cuba and it has been identified now. Go look it up. It's the beta3 system pointing at the United States. Why? >> Why? I don't know why. I just know this. You and I work for heaven. God is our boss. We have a lot of work to do on our knees in prayer, knowing the word of God and being ready to be used by him at the drop of a hat. Our wealth, our retirement, our future is not in the United States or any nation on earth. Our citizenship is in heaven >> because Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior.

Let's all stand. And I want to pray over you because you probably won't be able to sleep tonight after all that. Father God, I pray that you'd bless my brothers and sisters this night. Father, there's no greater hope than the gospel. Father, may that reality flood our hearts in our lives when all that's going on in the world around us. We know such so little. We thank you that you know everything. And Father, we know that you'll never fail to keep your word. So bless your people. And father, may those that are watching right now or those that are here put their faith in Jesus Christ that they might also have hope eternal and assurance of their salvation. In his name we pray. And all God's people said, >> "Amen." God bless you.
