I want to show you something that my wife sent to me yesterday and then I will add a few thoughts before Shoram comes and speaks.
Alright. She sent this to me.
Longer that we have lack of representation. Listen closely to this. This is ties right in with Friday night.
No one is talking about the Muslim shift.
Great shift amongst Muslims in America is upon us right now.
It's no longer that we have lack of representation, lack of support, lack of community.
We are up going to any hospital with all the top doctors or Muslims.
We have so many Muslims that are getting into politics.
You go into Silicon Valley, there's so many Muslim CEOs and founders.
We have hundreds of halal options. We got hundreds of Yemeni coffee shops, hundreds of surafests.
We literally have Muslim cities.
Epic city is just like the tip of the iceberg.
There's going to be hundreds of epic cities all across America.
Give it like 20 years though, US will be a Muslim country.
No one is talking about the Muslim shift.
Great shift amongst Muslims.
No one is talking about the shift.
Well, in some ways he's right, but in other ways he's not just totally accurate because we've got somebody here who is talking about the shift.
And Friday night, by the way, was absolutely awesome.
If you were not here for Friday night, you have to watch that online.
It'll be under faith and freedom, but you need to watch that because Friday night was awesome.
And I believe Shoram mentioned it on Friday night as well as I know he mentioned it Friday when we were out for lunch.
The hope, the hope we have that this thing doesn't go sideways resides in the church.
The church has to step up.
And he mentioned that at lunch and I looked at him and I said, oh man, we're in trouble.
Because the church in this country is living under a delusion.
Not everyone, but 95% plus is living under delusion.
They're swallowing the interfaith thing and that we and Muslims can live together peaceably because we all serve the same God.
And this is being proclaimed by many ministers and ministries in this land.
And the saddest part of that whole thing, that deception, is we're not doing anything to get them saved.
Well, we all serve same God. We don't have to get them saved.
Really? We're not doing anything. The first saddest thing that comes out of that deception is we're not doing anything to get them saved.
And the second saddest thing that comes out of that is we are setting our grandchildren, our grandchildren, our great-grandchildren up for disaster.
I'm talking to the choir here. We're trying to take a stand on things. That's why we had Sharon come and speak.
And he's going to say some awesome things again this morning regarding Israel and things we need to be aware of there and stay supportive of Israel.
But without God doing something, this is going to go bad fairly quick.
By fairly quick, I mean... I don't know if 20 years... I think he's a little quick on that, quick on the draw on that video.
I don't think it's 20 years. Give it a generation or two to cycle. And we're going to be in deep trouble in this country.
So, we have to stay engaged to do everything we can to bring about an outpouring of God on the Muslim people, the Islam faith, that whole realm.
That is our call. They're eternal beings also. And rather than being afraid of them and running from them, we need to learn how to evangelize them
because it won't be long. There's going to be many opportunities staring us in the face. It's coming.
If we don't, if the Lord is not able to rally his church and get her to step up in this country, we're going to turn into a Muslim state in America.
Just like Western Europe is almost there already. We're going to go there.
And I know Christians are the greatest denial people on the face of the earth. We love to go into denial.
Come out of denial on this issue. And if you say, well, I just don't know if it's that bad, then you need to listen to Friday night.
When you were sitting home and you didn't pay attention to what was going on here.
Powerful, powerful information and bringing understanding to what is really happening and how the agenda works.
You say, well, Jesus is going to come. Well, good luck with that one.
He is going to come. But he may not come as soon as we think he is.
Do you know that by the Jewish calendar, we still have 215 years to go before the millennial, six millennial rolls up?
The Hebrew calendar? We're at like 5785 or something like that now.
You know how rotten this world could be if it goes that long, 215 more years?
If we don't take a stand, if we don't get behind this, if we don't deal with this.
Because in my heart, this is, you know, put me on record on this. I'll probably be gone hopefully before it happens.
But you never know, it could come sooner.
My heart says the Islam faith are going to be the enforcers for the Antichrist.
We have to get in front of this.
Because the Bible talks about people coming out of the tribulation by the numbers that were too great to count, John said,
who were beheaded for their faith.
What country, what army, what anything today beheads Christians or Jews?
There's only one. It's the Islam faith.
And if we don't get in front of this, we better start preparing our grandchildren and our children, our grandchildren, our great-grandchildren for Muslim occupation.
It's going to be a whole different world with persecution and death threats and death and everything else.
That is where we're headed, folks.
You have to listen to Friday night. We have to do what we can, not just the choir here,
but to stand for America and wake up America and Shoram. We stand with you. We support you.
You might feel like you're alone.
Well, there's two of us then.
And Dale's here this morning, so that makes three.
And there's a group more who are saying, hey, we will stand with you on this.
After we got done talking on Friday, now I want you to understand something, goes with what Mary talked about on prayer.
And when God asks you to do something, she said it's not always glorious. I'm going to say it a different way.
When God asks you to do something, there's always suffering involved. Always.
Because he's asking you to do something that your flesh doesn't want to do.
Or you're incapable of doing, and now we have to actually enlarge the wine skin, which is painful.
I mean, I'm just being honest.
After we got done chatting at lunch on Friday, I looked at him, or toward the end, I looked at Shoram,
and I said, so basically, if the church doesn't get in front of this, right now you're basically Isaiah or Jeremiah.
You're a prophet called to sound the message, even though it may be being spoken on deaf ears.
You're the one called to make the message known.
And he said, yep, that's my call. That's what God asked me to do.
And it's still, we can, this thing can still turn.
We're not too late yet. This thing can still turn.
But the church of Jesus Christ has to wake up.
Come out of there, you know, it's not even so much their sleep. They're deceived.
We have to come out of that deception.
So we stand with you. I want to encourage you.
I know it's probably a drop in the bottom of a bucket,
but we want to encourage you to stay true to God's call.
And keep saying it, keep saying it.
And if you end up martyred for it, so be it, we'll probably be next in line.
And that's the way it is.
But in the end, we know who wins.
So it is a privilege and an honor to have you again.
Come and share what's on your heart and challenge us.
Don't go easy on us. Challenge us.
Amen. Let me just get set up here real quick.
Pastor, I can't tell you how much that means. Thank you.
Thank you for that encouragement.
Thank you for the affirmation.
It is an honor to stand with all of you.
It is an honor to stand with you and Pastor Dale and all of you here
as we stand together because we represent the Lord.
We are the army of the Lord.
We are His people.
And it is an honor to be able to be a voice.
And I tell you, it is worth every moment of it to honor the Lord.
No matter how hard, no matter how difficult it gets.
And as you said, Pastor Vern, even unto death, we still glorify Him.
We honor Him to live as Christ, to die as gain.
So I lose nothing when I die, right?
I always encourage the body of Christ, especially in this nation.
Why, as born-again, spirit-filled Christians, do we fear death?
We should not fear death.
We all get scared, but we should not fear death
because death is the graduation, ultimately.
So, as Pastor said, unless the Lord comes back soon,
most of us are going to see death.
And so therefore, let's live for Christ, amen.
And so, let me just pray, and I just want to pray the Lord's anointing.
Father, I thank you for this powerful time of worship today.
What a privilege it is to be here,
to be able to worship with the body of Christ.
What a glimpse of heaven that we saw this morning
as we get to prepare to worship you for eternity one day,
to revel in your glory, that indeed, there is no one like you.
Indeed, there is no rival to you.
No one compares to you.
And so, Father, thank you that you've torn the veil.
Thank you that you've opened the door,
that you've made the way that you love us so much
that you desire to spend eternity with us.
And I pray this morning, as we're talking about the nation of Israel,
we're really talking about your promises.
We're really talking about your heart.
We're really talking about your word.
And we're really talking about your faithfulness.
Because that applies to every area of our lives,
not just the topic of Israel or prophecy.
So, Lord, I pray the anointing of the Holy Spirit this morning.
Open our minds, open our hearts.
Help me to communicate your heart and your word this morning
so that we can edify and equip your body to stand with you
in these days that we are in.
We bless you, we honor you.
We give you all honor and glory.
In Jesus' name I pray, amen and amen.
So, first of all, I do want to say a blessing to all you mothers.
My wife is at home and with our six kids,
and so I was so grateful to her that she gave me the okay
to come on this trip this week because I asked her ahead of time.
I said, babe, I'm not going to be there from Mother's Day,
but she is sacrificial and I married the best,
the best of the best.
So, just to my wife and to all of you moms,
I pray you have a blessed day today
and I agree wholeheartedly we must do a much better job
of honoring moms, especially in a culture
that doesn't even know what a mom is anymore, right?
We need to honor, restore godly motherhood
to the nation, to the bride of Christ,
and so you guys are that.
Just, I pray the Proverbs 31 blessing on all of you
and that the Lord would richly, richly bless you
and keep you deeply grounded.
Now, this morning as we talk about Israel,
I know this is not a typical Mother's Day message
talking about Israel, but I want to again mention
that this is really talking about God's heart,
God's promises.
How many of us know God's a covenant God, amen?
He's a covenant keeper, and God keeps his promises, amen?
Now, we, as pastors said, we may be unfaithful,
but he is always faithful.
So as we get into this,
I just want to give you just quick housekeeping items
if you want to connect.
As Pastor Verne said, there's so much going on
and there's so much that we got to equip the body of Christ on.
So I just want to encourage you, come to the table,
get a card, sign up for our newsletter
if you want to be connected to our ministry.
We're on rumble as well.
Of course, Word of Life is on rumble
and the presentation of Friday night was on rumble.
I'm already sending that link out to people.
So thank you guys, tech people for doing that.
And we're on rumble. Check out our channel there,
because we do live shows every week.
We're trying to stay on top of everything that's going on
so that the body of Christ that have ears to hear
can be equipped.
Now, if you don't know my backstory,
if you haven't heard me speak here before,
you know that, or you may not know
that I'm originally from Iran.
I was born into a Muslim family.
My mom's side was much more devout than my dad.
My dad was a career military officer.
Iran, of course, is Persia.
Before Iran was conquered by Islam in 651 A.D.,
it was Persia.
And Persia goes back long before Islam ever
was birthed out of the brain of Satan.
So this... and forgive me for speaking so aggressively
about this ideology that is the most demonic ideology
on the planet, in my opinion.
So you can see on the picture there,
do you figure out which one I am on that picture?
I was the youngest one.
I joked that when I had lots of hair,
I don't know what happened to the hair,
but it disappeared.
But Iran, when I was born in Iran,
Iran was not what it is today
under this Islamic tyranny and theocracy.
And every day today in Iran,
46 years later after the government was overthrown,
the people of Iran are shouting death to Islam.
Death to Islam.
Because they are so sick and tired of this tyranny.
And that should be the warning called to America.
America is embracing Islam.
America is embracing this ideology
which not only leads to the most gruesome
and intense persecution of Christians,
but it is also what is leading to the most vile
anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews.
So, when I came to the Lord 26 years ago,
as a Muslim I had been taught
that it is our duty to oppose and hate Jews.
Because the Jews have been cursed.
And I mentioned that on Friday night.
I mentioned that a little bit later,
but Muslims pray this every day in their prayers
by quoting the first chapter of the Quran.
The Jews are cursed.
The wrath of quote Allah is upon them.
Why? Because they have corrupted what was revealed.
Did you know that according to Islam,
all the Old Testament prophets were really Muslims?
They just didn't know it yet.
So, the Jews are cursed
and then comes along the Christians
and the Christians were deceived by the Jews.
And now there is a need for a final message
according to Islam.
And when I became a Christian 26 years ago
and left Islam and the Lord opened my eyes
to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ
and showed me there is but one way
and one God and one name under heaven
by which you can be saved.
Sharam, one way is true, one way is a lie.
Choose today whom you are going to serve.
As Pastor Verne said, there was no middle ground.
The Lord in my own testimony did not say,
oh, there is some middle ground common word,
interfaith, that we can all pretend
we worship the same God.
I came out of darkness into light.
That's it. It is that simple.
I was in darkness, I came into light.
There was no gray area.
And so all these quote Christians
that want to quote love Muslims
and they love Muslims so much
that they never give them the gospel.
Here in Minnesota,
well, we're just going to live in community together.
We're going to learn how to live together.
We're going to be families together.
Well, first of all, they're going to hell
apart from the gospel.
And secondly, they have an agenda
that you just heard on the screen this morning.
And the Muslims now are boldly proclaiming,
it's just a matter of time.
Is it 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, 50 years?
Whatever the timing is,
they believe it's just a matter of time
because the Christian churches have surrendered.
You don't know it yet,
but we've already surrendered.
We're already becoming what's called dimmitude.
Aldima, subjugated.
Because the moment we don't stand up,
we're basically conceding.
But here's what I want to tell you,
up front doesn't get lost
before we get into this presentation.
Christ has not surrendered.
Christ has defeated.
He is victorious.
And he is on his throne.
And the king of kings,
and I agree 100% of Pastor Verne,
I believe Islam is going to be central
to the anti-Christ movement,
to the beast system,
to the book of Revelation.
They will be the central force
that are carrying out the atrocities
that are going to happen.
But here's the good news.
Upon the return of the king of kings
and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ
will destroy Islam.
It will be destroyed,
as is every other false ideology.
So, when I became a Christian,
the Lord changed my heart
for the Jewish people.
I was taught to hate them.
I was taught that they were
crooked nose in the Quran
and says they're apes
and pigs and monkeys.
In the hadith
it teaches that Jesus,
their Jesus will come back
and not only destroy the cross
because they claim the cross never happened,
Jesus was never crucified.
How can you have common ground
if that demonic book says
there was no crucifixion?
Amen.
It's impossible.
But then they also teach
that Jesus will come back
and he will kill the pigs.
And he's not talking
about swine animals.
When the Lord
brought me out of Islam,
the Holy Spirit began to change my heart.
And I began to fall in love.
Why?
Because our Messiah is Jewish.
He's not Anglo.
Right?
He's not British.
He's Jewish.
And so I stand here today
and someone would say,
well, why are you
as a Christian who is from Iran,
Persia?
Iran is never in the Bible. Persia is.
Meads the...
I'll talk about that in a minute.
Why would you support Israel?
When I say support Israel,
it doesn't mean I agree with everything the Israeli government does.
During COVID, I was very critical
of the Israeli government
because they were like all in for COVID.
They were one of the first countries,
lockdown, masking,
tracking.
So it is absolutely okay
to look at
and be critical of
the behavior of government.
For goodness' sake, I've been
more critical of our government in this nation
than maybe anybody.
It is our duty to call out
unrighteous things. That's fine.
But when we say we support Israel,
we're talking about God's Word.
We're talking about God's promises.
We're talking about that He's not done with them.
We're talking about that
there are still things yet to be fulfilled.
We're talking about the Jewish people,
the right to the land, the right to self-defense.
And we're talking about
that they will not...
also, and I'll mention this today,
that there is a coming
false peace
that the world has to be aware of.
Now, the other reason I support
as a Persian Christian
Israel is because
there is a very amazing
symbiotic relationship between
Persia and the Jewish people
in the Bible.
And the reason for this is because
if you go back
all the way to the
line of Noah
to the story of Noah, I should say,
we know Noah had three sons, right?
Well, one of the misconceptions about
people from Iran or Persians
is that we are Arabs.
And now, I don't get
upset about this, but
there are some Persians that if you say,
are you Arab? They get a little upset.
They get a little bit, you know,
bothered by that.
Because again, Persia was around long
before the Arabs.
So
when you go back
into the Bible and you go back to
Noah and you look at his sons,
his son Shem
is where we get the line of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Well, one of
Shem's sons was Elam.
Elam
is ancient Persia.
So
Persians and
Jews are cousins.
We're Semitic.
I'm not Arab.
So it is in our DNA.
Listen to what I'm saying.
I believe it is in our DNA
that the Persians
and the Jews will stand together.
So I don't believe it's
an accident
that you see the majority of people in
Iran today saying we stand with the nation
of Israel, not the government,
but the people.
It is not an accident that the lowest
anti-Semitism in the entire Middle East
is in Iran. The highest
anti-Semitism is the Middle East.
I wonder what the correlation
is.
And Elam is mentioned
twice, or Persia.
One, it's mentioned as
the government, because in Ezekiel 38
we know there's going to be a battle that's going to come
called the Gog and Magog war.
And
the Scripture gives us nations
by name.
And Persia is mentioned
by name as coming against
Israel. God will put a
hook in their mouth, bring them, and then
he will defeat them. God will defeat
them. And I, of course, believe that
that war has not happened yet.
And it's in the future at some point.
But is that talking
about the people, or is that talking
about the government? So I believe
it's talking about the government, because
in Jeremiah 49 there's
a prophecy that, again, I believe
is yet to be fulfilled, specifically about
Elam. And the Word
of the Lord says that God
will come against and break the
bow of Elam,
and will break or cut
their princes,
their leaders. Now, the bow
usually means military
might, their
power. Remember, Ezekiel
was getting this vision back in his
time. But, you know,
we know that it's talking about their
might. So he's going to break
their bow, their might. He's going to
scatter them, the people of
Elam. And then this is
something remarkable.
Once they're scattered, it says,
in the last days
God will
regather them, the people
of Elam, bring them back
to the land, and then this is incredible.
It says God
will establish his throne
in Elam.
Now, the only other
place God establishes his throne
is in Jerusalem.
Why
no other place?
If you can find it, let me know. I don't
see any other place that
God promises to establish his throne
there.
And I believe that this
is part of that
symbiotic relationship
between Elam
and
our cousins.
That lineage of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. Now, here's another interesting
thing. Where is Elam?
Where Elam is modern
day southwestern
Iran.
Right on that Persian
Gulf that I'm not happy that
President Trump wants to call it the Gulf of Arabia.
I'm really mad about that, by the way.
The Persians have been around
a lot longer than the Arabs, as I mentioned
already.
I'll let it go, but, you know,
Elam is where
the story of Esther happened.
The entirety of the story
of Esther happens in Elam.
Shusha, you know, the city
of Susa in the story of Esther.
That's Shushan in Elam.
Daniel is buried
there in Elam.
But also, Iran's
the majority of
their nuclear facilities is right
there.
And so when the word says that
the bow is going to be broken,
could the bow be
a missile?
And then they're going to be scattered.
Why are they going to be scattered?
Maybe a fallout? I mean, again, this is speculation.
I don't know.
But whatever it is, it's interesting
that there's a focus. It's like
there's a focus on Jerusalem. The enemy
is always wanting Jerusalem. There's a focus
there. Now, all that to say,
I'm here today to declare this.
That the church
of Jesus Christ is
is grossly missing
what God is doing in these
days. Because Israel is
God's timepiece.
The clock has started.
People ask me all the time, why
do you believe that we potentially
are in that last generation?
Because for 2,000 years
the church has awaited
the coming of the Lord. Amen, the second coming
that is. And for 2,000 years
every generation of believers
must live with
urgency. Right? Because it could
be in our generation and therefore
we live with urgency to proclaim
the good news, to proclaim the gospel,
to go into the nations and make
disciples of all the nations. And if it
didn't happen in our generation, no problem.
We're in heaven with the Lord. Amen.
We're rejoicing. We're praising.
We're worshiping. And we're waiting
upon the next generation. And
until the Lord comes.
So why would we
be so, quote, arrogant to
declare this could be the generation?
Well, the only
answer is Israel.
Because something
has happened
that has been prophesied for a long
time. And most
the church is missing it. Now why
are they missing it? Multiple reasons, but let
me get into covenant. I love covenant.
Amen. I love teaching
on the covenants. I love that
God is covenantal. Thank you, Lord,
that you make a promise with to us.
Thank you that our salvation is based
on covenant. Amen. That God
promised eternal life to us, to those
who, you know, people ask
me, well, why do you want it?
Why are you bold? I said, I'm not trying
to be bold. I hope I pray this by power
of the Holy Spirit. But the reason if I am bold
is because I believe God's promises.
So this all starts
with the Abrahamic covenant. The
entirety of the argument is about the
Abrahamic covenant. And the entirety
of the deception is on the Abrahamic
covenant. Because what are we
claiming now? Today we're claiming
that Islam is an Abrahamic faith.
Islam is simply goes back to the
God of Abraham, so therefore what?
We're all of the same God. Christians,
Muslims, Jews, we're all
from Abraham, bingo-bongo, let's
get along world peace.
And or the church is conflating
and mischaracterizing
the Abrahamic covenant with the
Mosaic covenant. Here's why. First of all,
there's two things that we must understand about the Abrahamic
covenant. Number one, it was
unilateral. Meaning,
God said to Abraham, I'm going to make a
covenant with you, and then he tells him
to prepare for the covenant. Remember to take the animals, cut
them in half, prepare them by his side. Then
as Abraham is about to walk through
the animals for the sacrifice, what does God
do to Abraham? Abraham
puts him to sleep.
Who walks through?
The Lord does.
He himself walks through
and says, I will fulfill this covenant.
So that's a unilateral
one-way covenant. Unlike
the Mosaic covenant, that is
bilateral. Meaning that
it was a two-way agreement.
God promises
they promise to keep it
unless they break it.
If you break it, there's
about 300 judgments.
If you keep it, there's about
300 blessings.
We don't see any of that
spoken of when the covenant was
made with Abraham.
None. Which leads to the second
point, which is there's no condition
put on it. And if there's no condition
put on the covenant, it's an
unconditional covenant, meaning it can't be broken.
Let me say that one more time. It can't
be broken.
For God
to enforce the breaking of the
covenant, he has to have put into place
conditions. Because listen, if I
tell you, you need to follow
this
agreement, but I don't tell you
what the agreement is and
what the rules are, then how do
you know if you're following it?
And by the way, who
remembers the sign of the
Abrahamic covenant?
For example, the sign
of the noatic covenant was what?
The rainbow? Well, the sign
of the Abrahamic covenant was the
circumcision.
Ultimately,
God circumcised
himself. He cut himself.
Because
when that covenant is
moved forward, it includes
Abraham's son.
And everything that
Abraham's son went through
and Abraham went through
in Genesis 22,
we know Christ
fulfilled.
All of that
that happened was the type
and shadow of the one who would
come, who would be cut for
us, for our inequities.
Now, let's move on.
There's three pieces of this
covenant. And by the way,
I forgot to mention, we do have a
DVD of this presentation on the table
that is much longer than what I'm able
to share this morning. So if I'm going
a little fast on some of this, know
there's more information out there, but
there's three pieces of the covenant
that were specifically given to Abraham.
One, Abraham, I'm going to make you
a great nation. Two,
from you is going to come a
seed. And this promised seed is going
to be the blessing to all the nations.
And three, I'm going to give you
specific land. And that land
is going to have borders and boundaries.
And then, here's the key word.
The Lord says to him,
Adonai says to Abraham,
this covenant is ever lasting.
Now
it shouldn't be a confusing word.
But here it is in Genesis
17. We can read it together.
Because the Lord says to Abraham,
I will establish my covenant
between me and you, right?
Okay? Between me
and you. So there is
the unilateral part, right?
And your
descendants. Now there is the key question.
Is God talking about
just
biological descendants
or is He talking
about covenantal
descendants?
By the way, the Apostle Paul answers that question
in the New Testament.
When he lays
out the argument of
there is a Son of promise that was
given and there's a Son of the
flesh.
And I joked about this the other night.
I said, if Abraham
had simply... and this is the worst thing I could say
on Mother's Day, Pastor Verne.
The worst thing I could say on Mother's Day. So forgive me
for saying this.
Because we want to honor our wives.
We want to honor the moms.
But in the story of Abraham
he should have not listened to his wife.
Right?
Ladies, are you with me or no?
So listen, ladies, there are
sometimes that as husbands
we are convicted by the Lord
and you may try to influence us,
but we got to do what God is calling us to do.
And if we say no, know that
we love you.
We love you.
We bless you. We honor you.
But there's sometimes we got to say no.
And Abraham should have said no.
I'm not falling for that, Sarah.
I'm not going to go down that road, Sarah.
I don't care how much you convince me
and tell me it's okay, Sarah.
When the wives say it's okay.
You have my blessing.
No, no, no, I don't want your blessing.
I want the Lord's blessing.
And don't put me in a bad situation.
So the Lord says to him,
right, that with your
descendants, we're talking about
covenantal descendants,
and then says this,
after you and their generation,
for a olam.
There's the word in the Hebrew, everlasting.
Olam means eternity.
Can we break it down?
Forever.
What is forever?
Forever.
Forever, or never, or never, or never, or never.
And then,
he says,
for an everlasting covenant to be God to you
and your descendants after you.
And then he repeats it
in verse 8.
And he repeats it in verse 13.
Not once, not twice, but three
times. He uses the term
everlasting.
So we've established
what most of the church is getting wrong.
The covenant was one way.
It was not a two-way agreement.
The covenant was without condition.
It cannot be broken.
And the covenant was forever, and ever,
and ever, and ever, meaning
it has nothing to do with the behavior
of those who the covenant was made
with. It has everything to do
with the character of God.
And the character of God
is he is faithful.
Now, we know
that
there is fulfillment
because
Israel became a nation.
Right?
So under King Saul,
they wanted a king.
God
gives them a king, which of course
was not what they needed.
But they became a nation that in last
very long, they rebelled.
Saul was supposed to get rid of the
Melchites. He didn't. He didn't
clean house. And you know
the rest of the story.
Eventually, the United Kingdom
fell, became divided, and then
eventually, both kingdoms were
conquered and went into captivity.
And here's the key.
From 586 BC,
when Jerusalem fell
to the Babylonians,
Israel
ceased
in being a nation.
They were not a nation.
That's number one.
Number two.
What about the seed...
Oh, by the way, before I go further.
Even though there was the promise
of becoming a nation, and they became
a nation, but you're going to see
in Scripture today that there was also
a promise that they were going to fail
at becoming a nation. Not a promise, but God
directs them
and speaks to them that though
you failed, there is a unique promise
that you will again be a nation.
So, there was a part one
and a part two. Not because
the Lord willed it, but because of
the rebellion, but because God is keeping
His promise. You hear what I'm saying?
And we'll look at that.
Number two. What about the seed
blessing? Well, we know the
seed blessing was fulfilled.
This is the same seed that goes
all the way back to Genesis chapter 3
at the fall of man,
that the enmity between
Satan and the woman, his seed,
her seed, and his
her seed was going to cross Satan's head
and his seed was going to bruise his heel.
We know that's talking about the Messiah
and we know that the Messiah
has come through the promise
and what was the promise that the
seed of Abraham would be
Isaac
and the Lord tells Abraham
to call him Isaac
so the Lord names Isaac
and then
brings forth the Messiah, correct?
So let's establish this. The seed
of Messiah has
to come in order to fulfill God's
word through the lineage of
Abraham, Isaac, and that
descendancy. And the book of Matthew chapter
1 spells that out all for us.
If you get bored reading, don't get bored.
It's interesting, because I know
chapter 1 begets, begets, begets,
begets, begets, begets. It kind of
be like boring, like I don't want... Listen,
that's the resume of the Messiah, right?
That's his resume.
That's a legal document
saying that this lineage
is legally fulfilling God's word
all the way back to
Isaac and Abraham.
Now, why do I mention that?
Because you'll see in a little bit
the whole disagreement
with the Muslims is between
Isaac and Ishmael.
Now, what about the promise land?
The promise of land.
Lots of people say, well, you know,
that was fulfilled
at the time when Joshua
took them into the promise land
because, remember, God
had called Abraham from Oror
of the Chaldeans. That's modern day
Iraq
all the way to the land of Canaan.
He said, I'm going to give you this land.
So
people say, well, you know, Joshua went in,
Moses was supposed to go in, right?
But then the people, you know, the giants
and they didn't go in.
So now, Joshua goes in
and they say, well, that was fulfilled
during the time of Joshua.
So let's look at the boundary.
And let's see if that boundary
could have been fulfilled. Because the Lord says
in Genesis 15, on that day, the Lord made
a covenant with Abraham.
You know how it says, the Lord made a covenant?
Again and again, the Lord made a covenant. That's one way.
The Lord made a covenant.
To your descendants, I have given this land.
What? Say that again?
To your descendants, again,
not biological, covenantal.
I have given this land.
The Lord says, I've given you this land.
Whose land is it to give? The Lord's.
Who do they give it to?
The covenantal descendants of
Abraham.
And then gives the boundaries.
From the great
river of Egypt,
that's
Egypt, we'll see in a minute,
to the great river Euphrates.
Now, just so if you don't know
the geography, here's a map.
Okay, so you can see the geography.
So you see there all the way on the right,
I was born in Iran, right up
by the Caspian Sea. If you go by, see that
where the Caspian Sea is? I was born right up
on the Caspian Sea. Used to be a beautiful
place before this disgusting regime
destroyed it.
Islam has gone in
into Iran and destroyed almost
every Persian artifact
history. They've tried to wipe Persia
away from Iran.
Because why? These Ayatollahs
in Iran are not Persian, they're Arabs.
They took over
Iran, they're Arabs.
They're not even Persian.
You see
Euphrates goes all the way up
to Turkey.
And then you see the Nile
all the way
over in Egypt.
So that's a lot of land.
And
if you want to in comparison look at the
promised land when they were in Joshua
you're talking about
barely going
northeast
south of where
Israel is today. This is talking
about, look at that, that's
northern Saudi Arabia
most of Syria
half of Iraq
two-thirds of Turkey, part of Egypt
all of Lebanon, all of Jordan
and
Gaza
and the West Bank, so called
West Bank which is Judea and Samaria
all of it.
Now, did the Lord give land
to descendants of Ishmael?
Of course.
Deuteronomy 30 tells you
to the east he gave them land.
But the covenantal land is with
somebody who wants to tell me
that these things have been fulfilled
in the past and God has done
please tell me when
Israel has ever come even
close to occupying that land
and the answer is never
not even close.
So this is a future promise
this is yet to be fulfilled
now the argument will be well the reason
they didn't get the land is because they
broke the covenant can't
break it.
You see how why that's so important?
You can't make that argument
because there's no condition on the covenant.
You can't you can't it's impossible
unless you make God a liar
so again
I go back to the question.
Why do you believe that we could
potentially be in the last days
and this is the last generation potentially
but I love what Pastor Verne said
we have to live as if
we're gonna live up until
the Lord calls us
to the very second
you should be living for him
and fulfilling what he's called you to do
there should be no escapism in the church
if the rapture just happens
we're gonna be out of here
when the rapture happens
we'll all be rejoicing hallelujah praise God
until that moment
we better be fighting
but what is the sign
it is the rebirth of Israel
my friend Dr. Andy Woods
calls it not a sign he calls it a super
sign
super sign
because here's a crazy part
remember I said again
they were a nation
they ceased becoming a nation
because of rebellion no doubt
but then the Lord is not done
here in the book of Amos
that is a contemporary to Jeremiah
now remember they're in captivity
right so this is being
written at a time when they're going into
they're already in captivity
Israel has already fallen, 722 BC. Judah is hanging on for a little bit, about 140 something years, if I do my math right.
146 years I think it is. And the prophet Amos, by the way, if you read the book of Amos, it doesn't really have anything positive to say about Israel.
Until the very last chapter. It's like the Lord is throwing them just, you know, that lifeline.
You're in captivity. You're in trouble. I was praying yesterday at your state capitol with Pastor Dale. Didn't I say this, Pastor Dale?
The enemy is trying to put us under captivity. That's what the enemy wants. And that's what Islam wants. Islam wants to subjugate.
They don't have to convert everybody. They just have to subjugate you.
So that you will never question it. And you will quietly live under it, under their control.
So here is what the prophet says, by the Holy Spirit.
I will bring back my eggs out. People in Israel, they will build the ruins, cities, and live in them.
They will plant vineyards and drink their wine. They will make gardens and eat their fruit.
Now, if you stop there, someone can say, well, Shalom, isn't that what happened when they came out of captivity?
The 70-year captivity. And then, again, thanks to the Persians, the Persians helped them rebuild the city walls.
The Persians helped them rebuild the temple. And they had some autonomy under Persian rule.
Yes, but let's read the rest of it. Is that okay?
Because look what it says, I will plant Israel in their what? Own land. Did that happen when they came out of captivity?
No. And even if you look at, according to the Maccabees, which is not in the Bible, and the Hasmonean period,
where they argue that maybe the Jews had control of Israel for a very, very short period of time, look at the rest of the passage.
Because that didn't last either. Because look what it says.
I have planted Israel in their own land. That means possession. What does that word in the red? Never again.
What does never again mean? Kind of like everlasting? Never again. To be what? Uprooted.
So that means if God is going to bring them back into the land, the promise says, once they come back in, they can never be kicked out again.
That certainly did not happen during the Hasmonean period because we know they were then occupied by the Romans.
Until the time of Christ. So from the time that Jerusalem fell, they went into captivity, they came out of captivity.
To the time of Christ, they never occupied, owned, took possession of the land, and they were uprooted.
And then what happened after Christ? In AD 70, Jerusalem was destroyed, the temple was destroyed, and they were kicked out by the Romans, and they were scattered.
Until 1948. So two and a half thousand years. So please explain to me when this has been fulfilled.
Imagine reading this a hundred years ago, and you go, well, I don't know. It doesn't look like it's ever going to happen.
I mean, you know, maybe God was mistaken because it's desolate.
And in the DVD, I want you to read, I don't have time today, but I want you to read Ezekiel 36 before you read Ezekiel 37.
Because Ezekiel 36 tells you why God brought them back, why God's going to bring them back.
And the promise of, again, their own land says the same language into your own land.
The reason is because, and it has nothing to do with their obedience, or the fact that, oh my goodness, they killed Christ.
You've heard that argument, right? Well, the Jews, God judged them because they killed Christ.
Well, with all due respect, we killed Christ. Our sin put Christ on the cross.
Yes, God used the Romans. God used the religious leaders and the Jews to stir things up.
But our sin is what put Christ on the cross. For he had to come and suffer for the sins of the world.
Not just the Jews. He came first for the house of Israel, then for the Gentiles.
But he came to do what? Redeem us from the punishment of sin. The death of sin.
The separation from God. Thank you, Lord. Praise God. Thank you, Lord, that you did that.
Thank you, Lord, that you came for us. But Ezekiel 36 tells you. In fact, the Lord says in very, very plain words.
He says, Israel was a nation. They went into the nations. And they profaned my name.
And he doesn't say it once. He doesn't say it twice. He doesn't say it. He says it five times.
I mean, can you imagine if you're reading that? You're like, Lord, we get it. We get it. We're bad.
We really messed up. We really get it. Five times. He says they profaned my name.
But then the question is answered. Why are you going to bring them back into their land?
He says, because of my holy name. Do you understand what I'm saying?
God is keeping the covenant and the promise simply because of his glory, simply because of his name.
It has nothing to do with, I hear the argument. Well, the Jews today in Israel, they're so secular.
Hello, can we talk in America? What are we? We're not secular? We've aborted 68 million children.
We're importing sexual immorality and transgenderism to the world.
So, brothers and sisters, if you look at that passage in Zegel 36 and then 37,
because the dry bones in Ezekiel 37 isn't talking about you and I.
You can spiritualize that and allegorize that all you want.
But in context, the dry bones, it tells you in the verse, it's Israel. It tells you.
They're dead bones. What happened after AD 70? They were scattered.
Then what's going to happen? All of a sudden you see the bones.
Oh my goodness, they're moving and they're coming together.
And there's a tendon, and there's a ligament, and there's a muscle.
And it tells you there's going to be a rebirth. That was the prophecy of Ezekiel.
And then it tells you God's going to put the Spirit, His breath in them.
So there's two parts in my opinion. Now, let's move on.
So we get the covenant wrong. That's the first issue. Here's the second issue.
We have problems theologically, and the number one problem.
And again, you may ask, why did you name this presentation Israel is not replaced?
Why are you saying and being up here as a Christian person who my birth country wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, right?
The government. Why are you here saying Israel is not replaced?
Because the number one theological deception on this topic in the church is called replacement theology.
And what is it simply in layman's terms?
Well, in the New Testament, when the Bible mentions Israel, it doesn't really mean Israel.
So apparently there is a code that I didn't get.
Now I went to Bible college. I've studied the Word of God.
All my 26 years of being a Christian, but apparently there was some sort of a cheat sheet or code or something.
I didn't get it. Did you get it? I didn't get it.
Because replacement will say that there is no longer a plan. Jews are no longer chosen.
There's no longer any plan that Yahweh has no more prophetic fulfillment.
I've just shown you things that have not yet been fulfilled, but he said no more.
The promises are all either broken or there's another thinking that is called...
And a lot of times when people are in the replacement camp, they don't want to be called replacement.
So let's say things like we're covenantal theology or we're fulfillment theology. It is the same thing.
You're saying either the church has replaced Israel or the church has fulfilled all of Israel's promises.
So every promise that was to Israel is now for the church.
Now if that's true and there's a land covenant, I want it. How about you?
Pastor, you and I need to go to Saudi tomorrow and we're going to fly to Saudi Arabia tomorrow.
We'll land in Saudi in Riyadh and we'll tell the Saudi government, according to the book of Genesis, this land belongs to the church.
Do you see my thinking or am I crazy? Because if the church has replaced it, then we own it.
Then it's supposed to be ours. Who's going to come with me to Saudi?
Oh, one person. Thank you, brother. God bless you.
Because it probably won't go very well, right? I don't think the Saudis are going to go along with it.
I don't think the Turks are going to go along with it.
And listen, this is despite the fact that Israel is mentioned at least 70 times in the New Testament.
And we'll look at that. Now, I don't blame the early church, Justin Marder.
They started this teaching back in AD 160. You can trace it back to the second century.
It's been around for a long time. So I don't blame them because here's the reality.
They're reading these scriptures, right? And remember, the early church didn't have the New Testament yet, right?
So they're reading the Old Testament. They're reading these prophecies, and they're going...
The reality is, where is Israel? The temple was destroyed. The city was destroyed and burned. It's sacked.
They're scattered. So maybe those are for us?
And here's the other question.
And I can't actually get a... I'm trying to get a better answer to this, but there's very few that are doing studies on this
because nobody wants to touch this topic. They don't want to start this conversation because if you do, you're called the Judaizer in the church.
Kind of like what the Catholic Church did, right?
Chosen People Ministries did a study back in 2018. I'm trying to find more recent studies.
But in 2018, upon a survey of Christians in the West, particularly in America, they found almost 60% of the professing Christians hold to this view.
And look at the demographics. When you go younger, it's almost 70%.
So if we stand with Israel, we are now in the minority. That's the reality.
No wonder we are seeing the most unbelievable, unprecedented global anti-Semitism since October 7, 2023.
Never seen anything like it before. And it is far worse what is happening right now than what happened in Nazi Germany.
Far worse, I'm telling you, because this is global. That was never global.
And when you are wrong on Israel, and when you are buying this deception, and when our seminaries are pumping out,
woke pastors, false theology, teaching replacement in our seminaries, you know, the land covenant portion of the Abrahamic Covenant that I just mentioned to you.
You know what most of our seminaries call that? They call it the Palestinian Land Covenant.
Now, in the DVD, I spell out Exodus 23, because I'm going to show you from the Bible that Gaza doesn't belong to the Arabs.
Gaza belongs to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Lord mentions it by name.
And you'll see in a minute that there is no such thing as Palestine.
That's going to make somebody mad, because this was a trap of the enemy.
When you get it wrong, you get it wrong on almost everything.
The myth of Palestine, why would I say that? Well, first of all, where did this term Palestine come from?
It goes all the way back to the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Not Hadrian, that's me. Hadrian.
That once the Jews were scattered, and once they were kicked out of the Holy Land of Jerusalem as a final insult to the Jews,
this Emperor calls them by the name of their enemies, the Philistines, and he changes the name of the land.
Donald Trump, please, Mr. President, don't change the Persian Gulf to Arabia.
He changes the name of the land to what? Philistia.
It's an insult. It's a curse. That's the origination.
And then for all of these 2000 years, all of a sudden the maps changed, and the roots changed,
and the tracing of the land, because the Jews were scattered, right?
So they're scattered, and the Arabs come and live there, and there were some Arabs there, but more Arabs come to the land.
And then when Islam is born out of the mind of Satan, then Islam claims that according to their so-called prophet Muhammad,
that he was given a night vision where he was taken from Mecca to Jerusalem and told, this is yours.
And they conquered it, and they built that gray domed mosque, the al-Aqsa mosque in 691.
Then they took over the Byzantine structure and turned it into what's called the dome of the rock, that golden dome.
That was Byzantine. Islam has no claim to Jerusalem. It's not mentioned one time in the Koran.
But during our lifetime, so to speak, we saw this term come up again, and now it's weaponized.
In World War II, you had Hajj Al Husayni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in Arab, working with the Nazis,
and they started coining the term Palestine.
And they created this notion of Palestinianism, and then they went further and said, look, the land is ours.
Lots of people argue the final solution wasn't Hitler's idea, it was the Muslim's idea.
Because Hitler wanted to kick the Jews out of Poland and Germany and send them back to the Middle East,
and the Muslims said, no way, we don't want them there.
Al Husayni worked with Hitler. He'd do radio shows out of Berlin to broadcast and to lend support to the National Socialist Nazi Party.
He lived in Berlin. And here he is, visiting two divisions of the SS Hansaker that were Muslim.
One in Bosnia, one in North Africa. They had the crescent moon on their uniforms along with the swastikas.
And here is Hajj Al Husayni giving the Hitler salute to the Muslim brigades of Hitler.
And by the way, today, as we speak, the number one selling book among jihadists in Islam is of course the Koran.
The number two selling book among jihadists in the Islamic world is Mein Kampf.
And they've translated to Mein Jihad. Same spirit, same demonic spirit, and same hatred.
Please hear what I'm saying.
And even if you look at the words of the Arabs themselves, for example, who's heard of the PLO?
The Palestinian Liberation Organization that formed out of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood started, as I said the other night, IAP. IAP formed into Hamas.
But they also formed, at that time, Students for Justice for Palestine, which is on our university campuses.
They also formed the PLO. The PLO, of course, the most famous dude is Yasser Arafat, right?
And you can see right there, their own words. Let me just go this real quick, and then we've got to move on.
My computer keeps going to sleep. Nobody better go to sleep.
Here is their words.
He said, the question of borders doesn't interest us.
Well, what do we keep hearing every time, right? We need a two-state solution.
We need to recognize a Palestinian state. That's what the United Nations is trying to do.
He says, no, no. It doesn't interest us. From the Arab standpoint, we mustn't talk about borders.
Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean.
Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond.
The PLO is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism.
What you call Jordan is nothing more than Palestine.
And then here's Ahmad Shikari, who was the founder of the PLO back in 1956,
who said, at the United Nations, such a creature as Palestine does not exist at all.
The land is nothing but the southern portion of Greater Syria.
And they admit that Palestine is simply a tool to garner support for them as they try to destroy Israel.
So by their own words, they're saying there's no Palestine. So what is it?
Who are the people that are living there if they're not Palestinian? They're Arabs.
They're from Egypt. They're from Syria. They're from Jordan.
And if they're Arabs, and all these... and the world is today so concerned about the plight of the Arabs in Gaza,
why don't they give them land?
Isn't there lots of land?
Lots of rich Muslim nations?
But they won't give them land because they're using those people as bargaining tools
and the people in Gaza suffer,
but they've suffered way more at the hands of Hamas,
at the hands of the Arab nations who leave them there to die and be used as a pawn
than they have at the hands of Israel.
And how do you fight an enemy?
How do you go to urban warfare when they hide in schools
and mosques and hospitals and people's homes?
It is impossible. There's always going to be collateral damage.
But the question here is, again, you and I can sit here and say,
I don't like the way Israel is fighting this war.
By the way, I didn't like the way that Israel agreed to give up 2,000 jihadis for 33 hostages when...
and this is again, this is on Trump.
It's on this Witkoff guy that I don't trust, his Middle East envoy,
who's beholden to the Qataris because here's why.
They should have said, you want us to give up 2,000 jihadis?
Every hostage on day one is released.
Every hostage on day one and we want the bodies and we want everybody that's alive.
Not two here, three here, four here, two here, three here.
This is a game and Israel only agreed.
By the way, the deal that they signed was the same deal Biden had proposed.
The only reason they agreed is because of Trump.
And I voted for President Trump, but I disagree on this vehemently
because there's no appeasing this enemy.
And again, if you think it was about land,
I don't know if you're familiar with the Peel Commission or the Partition Plan,
but many times the globalists and the United Nations
and the world powers have offered land to the Arabs in the Peel Commission.
Look at it. The Peel Commission was two-thirds Arab, one-third Israel.
They said to the Jews, we'll give you land so you can go back to your homeland.
This is before World War II. This is before the Holocaust.
Arabs, you get 66%, Jews, you get 33%.
The Jews said, yes.
The Arabs said, no, why?
Because the international community said at that time,
we keep control of Jerusalem.
The Arabs said, no, we want Jerusalem.
47 Partition Plan, 50-50 Split.
That sounds like a pretty good plan, right? 50-50.
50 View, 50 Yes.
Jews said, yes.
Arabs said, no, why?
Because they wanted Jerusalem.
This is all about Jerusalem.
That's why on October 7th, when they attacked,
it was called Al-Aqsa Flood.
What is Al-Aqsa?
That's the mosque on the Temple Mount.
They want Jerusalem. They want the Temple Mount.
They don't want one Jew living in the land.
There is no two-state solution, folks.
That's a naivety.
Now, when you stand with Israel,
here's one very quick thing that I got to cover before we move on,
and that is we get accused of this.
Shalom.
So, if Israel's not been replaced, what are you saying?
What I'm saying is that there is a separate plan for Israel.
For the Jewish people, for the land, for the nation.
And that's why I call myself a fancy term dispensational.
It just simply means a different dispensation for the nation of Israel
and a different dispensation for the church.
Going back to Daniel chapter 9,
the 70th week has not been fulfilled.
That's the seven-year tribulation.
The angel tells Daniel, this is for your people and your holy city.
Very specific.
But, here's what we get accused of.
Well, if you're a dispensationalist, you believe in dual covenant theology,
meaning you believe there's two salvation.
Jews have a separate salvation apart from Christ.
Never, ever, ever, ever.
There is one name under heaven by which man can be saved.
Once the Messiah has come, he is for Jew and Gentile alike.
There's only one way of being saved for Jew and Gentile alike,
and that is only through Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach.
Period. One way. There's no negotiating that.
And here's the cool thing.
There are 10 million people living in Israel today,
8 million Jews, 2 million Arabs.
They let 2 million Arabs live among them.
Some of those Arabs are Christians, some of those Arabs are Jews,
some of those Arabs are Muslims.
Just because you're an Arab doesn't mean you're a Muslim.
There's 15 million Jews worldwide. That's it.
15 million, 2 billion Muslims.
Of the 15 million, there is now one million that is born again.
They're messianic.
One million now out of 16 million, 15 plus something million,
are now messianic.
And in Israel, where 20, 30 years ago, there was only maybe hundreds,
there is now 40,000 in Israel.
God is saving the Jewish people.
He's not done.
The church stands up and says,
We're done.
How dare we say that?
And when you have that attitude, it leads to this Jew hatred.
It leads to anti-Semitism.
Now, what is the root of anti-Semitism?
It's Satan.
I don't have else to say it for you.
But the biblical root goes back to what I said earlier.
If Abraham had just not listened to his wife,
four and a half thousand years of blood feud,
because the son was born out of the flesh.
And Abraham and Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau,
and we've had this blood feud.
And what did God say in Genesis chapter 16 over Ishmael?
He said, I'm going to take care of you.
Go east.
But he says this, you're going to be a wild donkey of a man.
And you're going to be an enmity
with all your brothers.
And I think that's living up to the bill.
And the number one threat against Israel,
the world and the church is Islam.
So Islam isn't just in the Middle East.
It's taking over Central Asia.
It's taking over Northern Africa.
And what's not on this map is Western Europe.
And then you got the little tiny...
Can you see that red?
The little tiny red?
That's modern day Israel.
And that's why I warn on Friday night
about this whole ecumenical inner faith nonsense.
Because you go to these prayer things
and when the Muslims pray, again,
surah chapter 1,
they're saying in their prayers,
show us the straight way, Allah.
And so we don't go the way of those before us.
They're cursing the Jews and they're cursing the Christians.
And then at the very end of their prayer,
in surah chapter 112, they pray,
Allah does not have a son, nor does he have...
nor can he be a father.
So they're denying the Trinity, they're denying Christianity.
17 times a day minimum they pray that in their daily prayers.
They're cursing the Jews and Christians,
and they're denying the Trinity in their daily prayers.
And you tell me what on earth we have in common with that.
That's the spirit of Antichrist.
And that spirit is what's leading the global anti-Semitism.
After October 7, 2023,
between October and December, the anti-Semitism went up 69%.
Then the following year, 2024, last year,
it went up 128%.
So it's gone up almost 200% since October 7, 2023.
And who was attacked?
And 1200 Israelis killed
would be like the equivalent of the Mexican cartel
coming across the border with their Muslim allies
and killing 50,000 Americans.
Can I ask you, what would we do to Mexico
if they came and killed 50,000 Americans?
We would level Mexico.
And nobody would say you have no right to defend your country
if they came in and killed 50,000 of our women, of our children,
in every horrific thing that I want to say here.
We would say level Mexico.
We don't care the collateral. We don't care.
We're going to level the cartel. We're going to level all the jihadists.
We're going to level them.
But Israel does it, and we say they're committing genocide.
By the way, if they committed genocide, they have a problem
because since October 7, 2023,
the population in Gaza has increased by 2%.
So if you're wiping them out, you're not doing a good job.
You know where genocide is being committed right now?
In Syria. In Nigeria.
At what? At the hands of the Muslims.
Our war on Christians DVD.
The tracking of a world watch list of all the countries that are...
the top 10 countries persecuting and killing Christians.
Nine of them are Islamic.
And North Korea, in my opinion, shouldn't be number one on that list.
It should be Nigeria.
And as I said earlier, this hatred that is only
can be explained spiritually from the heart of Satan himself.
This goes back to Genesis 3.
enmity between the serpent and the woman and his seed and her seed.
By the way, that's why Satan loves abortion.
Have you ever thought about that? The seed of the woman.
That's why Satan hates women.
You think Islam is nice to women?
Islam treats women as garbage, as second-class citizens, as property.
Why? Because it's satanic.
A godly religion would, brother, honor women, lift up women as daughters of the king.
And this intifada that they call it.
This is intifada, and then they shout,
from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
What are they saying? What's the river, the Jordan?
What's the sea, Mediterranean? What's in between?
Israel. No Israel. It's an annihilation chant.
And the original slogan was, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be Arab.
They changed it. Did you know that? They changed it.
It's a little bit more nicer. It'll be free.
And then we see this anti-Semitism.
I mean, I can spend 10 hours telling you all the stories every day.
In fact, just recently in Los Angeles, two Jews were kidnapped, tortured and killed.
Simply for being Jewish. You didn't hear about it in America.
It's happening all over the world.
In Canada now, that is falling to Islam.
And their globalist master, as Pastor said, the globalists are working with the Muslims.
The Muslims are working with the globalists.
It's the red-green axis that I talked about on Friday night.
And Canada is in big trouble, and the Jews are going to be leaving Canada soon.
By the way, God's using this. You know why?
Because what was the prophecy once they become a land?
God's going to do what? Re-gather them, bring them back. It's called Aliyah.
God is bringing them back to Israel.
So as the persecution increases for Jews, God is using that to simply fulfill His word.
They're going back to Israel.
And if you think it's about the land, I like this little meme someone did.
If you think it's about the land, recently there was all these fires in Israel.
And there's no doubt that that was caused...
Those were deliberate arson acts of terrorism by allegiance to Hamas or Islam.
But isn't it amazing that all this argument is about the land, right?
We want a nation. We want a Palestinian state. We want land.
And if they can't have it, they'll burn it down.
Does that make sense?
No. Because if it's their land, why are you burning your own land down?
Because they know it's not their land.
It's a bargaining tool.
The whole Palestinian argument is a bargaining tool.
And that's why I did the presentation Friday night.
And if anybody is available or didn't get to see it or knows anybody,
I'm going to be in Stacey tomorrow night again giving that presentation.
So please come out if you want.
Although remember, it's on rumble.
So get the link from Word of Life.
I saw it on Word of Life, but you said faith and freedom also.
Both places.
And please share that link.
But brothers and sisters, the bottom line comes, it's about Jerusalem.
Satan wants Jerusalem.
And he's not going to have it.
He's not going to have it.
Right? It's a cup of drunkenness.
It's a heavy stone.
All the nations gather against it, but what's going to happen?
They're going to be cut to pieces.
They can't have it.
They try and they try and they try and they try and they can't have it.
And because I'm a Persian and I'm a Christian and I support Israel.
And if you do too, I want to prepare you because part of the persecution
oftentimes starts with words, labels, right?
I'm an Islamophobe.
I'm a homophobe because I believe in biblical marriage, biblical sexuality.
I'm a xenophobe because I don't like illegals in our country.
By the way, I'm from the Middle East.
And that, you know what a xenophobe is?
Interational fear of foreigners.
I am a foreigner.
That'd be like me being scared of myself.
But then the term they're going to throw around on this topic is
you support Israel.
Come on. Who wants to guess?
You're a Zionist.
You filthy Zionists.
And I hate it when the enemy steals God's words.
Just like he stole the rainbow.
Because the word Zion is in the Bible 150 times.
Zion is Jerusalem.
God calls himself Zion.
God calls the land Zion.
So now, are there globalists?
Are there self-deprecating Jews?
Everybody used an example of George Soros, right?
What about George Soros and what about these globalists?
Look, the globalists may have tried this and tried that
and maybe they even had a hand in making Israel become a nation.
But what part of God's sovereignty?
Where is God's sovereignty in all this?
He said it would happen and it happened.
He said a nation that didn't exist for two and a half thousand years
would once again exist.
And we have seen it in our lifetime.
And in 1967, they went from not having control of Jerusalem
to the first time in two and a half years
taking over Jerusalem in the Six Day War.
Then 2017, the embassy gets moved
and now the United States becomes the first nation
in two and a half years as a major nation
to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
We are seeing prophecy fulfilled both good
and concerning.
So I say, I am a biblical Zionist.
I am a scriptural Zionist.
I am not a global Zionist.
And are there Jews that hate themselves? Yes.
Are they confused? Sure they are.
There are lots of Christians that are confused too.
But again, to answer the question, is God done with them?
The answer is no. And Paul answered that question.
And I go into much more on this in the DVD.
I am running out of time here but here is Romans 11.
I encourage you to read Romans 9, 10 and 11.
It not only makes it very clear
because look at the beginning part of this.
I say then, has God cast away his people?
Surely not.
Now, can I ask you a question?
If that is talking about the church and not Israel,
has God cast away the church? Does that make sense?
No. Then he says, I am an Israelite and the seat of Abraham
and the tribe of Benjamin.
Is that talking about the church? No.
He is giving you a Jewish resume.
But he acknowledges God has not cast them away.
However, he has given them a spirit of stupor.
They did reject the Messiah. No doubt.
They did reject Christ. No doubt.
There are Jews in the world today
that if you say Jesus Christ, it is a curse word.
Their eyes are blinded. No surprise.
That is what God's word says.
But he is not done with them.
And the problem is that this is leading to this
deception of multi-faith.
Again, this Abrahamic faith that I talked about Friday night,
they built this facility in Abu Dhabi.
Let's all worship the same God.
It's going to be called the House of One, the House of Abraham.
And I believe they are going to do it on the Temple Mount.
In fact, you know that guy that is claiming to be the Messiah,
the Muslim guy?
He calls himself al-Sadiri al-Hasham.
He says, I am the Mahdi.
He just did a video just this week
where he said the solution is
we share the Temple Mount.
Let the Jews rebuild their Temple.
He is claiming to be the Islamic Messiah come.
Now, personally, I don't believe he is the Antichrist.
A little too obvious, personally.
But he is garnering millions and millions of views.
They have their videos are garnering
hundreds of millions of views around the world.
So don't take this lightly of what is going on.
And what is his approach?
I represent Christianity.
I represent Islam.
I represent Judaism.
And I'm going to bring them all together.
And he said in his latest video,
and I will bring peace.
Woo!
Now, again, I don't think he is the dude.
But he is the type and shadow of the dude.
He is a forerunner.
And the world will fall for it.
And sadly, that's why I said the other night,
Islam can never be Abrahamic.
And I explained that on my website, in the DVDs.
But the Jews are desperate to rebuild that third Temple.
Oh boy, are they desperate.
They believe the third Temple will usher in the Messiah.
And they will do almost everything to get that third Temple.
And I believe that the...
People ask me, why are you so upset about the Abrahamic chords
that President Trump pushed forward?
Because they are not diplomatic, they are a spiritual document.
It says right to read it.
It says right there, on the beginning of it,
that this is a document bringing together the three great Abrahamic faiths.
That's a spiritual document.
I can't agree to that, because Islam is not Abrahamic.
But since Trump got elected,
and we have probably, probably the most pro-Israel administration ever,
there is a problem with that.
There is good, but there is a problem with that.
And that is the Talmudic rabbis that are wanting to rebuild the third Temple.
And what are they going to do when they rebuild the third Temple?
Restart the sacrificial system.
Woo!
Oh Lord, what an affront to the Messiah.
Because they are trying to garner their own righteousness.
And the Jewish rabbis are saying in Israel,
they use this thing called gamatria,
which means that we take the letters of someone's name,
and we connect it to the Hebrew alphabet,
and then every Hebrew alphabet has a number, and we add their number.
And when they add Donald Trump's name,
it comes over to number 424,
and the rabbis are declaring that that is the same number as the Messiah.
Now, they stopped, and they said,
but we're not saying that Trump is the Messiah.
I'm like, thank you, Lord. Oh my goodness.
But they are saying that we believe President Trump will help us rebuild the Temple.
So there is good, and there is danger.
And when the President of the United States is being advised
by not-godly counsel or wise counsel,
when I said Friday night that they have these ecumenical prayers,
and iftar dinners, and the prayer service,
and they're being cursed to their faces,
his Middle East envoy is going there trying to make deals.
I think that the Abraham Accords have the potential of being the foundation
for the Daniel 9 Covenant,
because the sticking point of all of this is the Temple Mount and Jerusalem.
It's not about the land. It's not about here or here or here.
It's about Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
And that's why I have my DVD, One World Religion Rising.
The deception is here. It's growing.
And the answer is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as Pastor said.
So once again, God is not done.
And Paul says, listen, brethren, do not be ignorant.
Their blindness in part has happened to Israel
until here is the greatest proof of dispensationalism.
Until, read that, please, the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
Right? Meaning what?
When enough Gentiles get saved,
I don't know the number. You don't know the number. Only the Lord knows the number.
When that happens, when God's brought all the Gentiles in,
then what happens?
Then he turns his focus back to the land, to Israel,
and to finishing what he started. Because what does it say?
So all Israel will be saved.
There's nothing about the government. It's talking about the remnant.
God will save a remnant of Israel. He's already doing it.
But he will finish the job.
And that's why Paul says in Romans 10, pray for the salvation of the Jews.
Now, I'm standing here before you, and Pastor already said it.
Pray for the salvation of the Muslims.
Because the only way that Islam is going to ever be defeated,
ultimately Christ will defeat it.
But for us, the only way it's going to be pushed back is to bring them out.
That's the only way. You're not going to change this demonic ideology.
You've got to bring them out of that.
Not you and I, Holy Spirit. But we've got to pray. We've got to sow the seeds.
We've got to bring them out.
But we also have to pray for the peace of Jerusalem as the Bible commands us,
but also pray for the salvation of the Jewish people that they would come to salvation in Yeshua.
The Messiah has come.
So pray for Israel.
Pray for their salvation.
Pray for the salvation of the Muslims.
Pray that the church will not be deceived by these things.
Stand in the Word of God.
And remember, the Deliverer comes out of Zion.
He's going to come out of Zion.
That's where he comes.
He calls a Zion.
And look at what it says.
And he will turn away on godliness from Jacob.
For this is what?
My covenant.
I started today with the covenant.
I'm ending it on the covenant.
Because God is covenantal.
So why do we stand?
Why do we support?
Why do we pray?
Because we are standing on God.
And His Word.
And people are saying to me,
Well, I'm not going to take sides.
Too bad.
God's already taken sides.
And it doesn't mean every Jew is right.
It doesn't mean every Jew is...
By the way, real quick.
I get this argument about,
What about the Ashkenazis?
Are all the Jews really Jews?
Don't worry about it.
God will figure it out.
But His Word is His Word.
His promises are His promises.
We're witnessing prophecy being fulfilled.
And we are incrementally getting closer
to that day when the king of kings
will step foot on the earth again.
And it will not be...
It will not be
for the third temple.
Because we are the temple
of the Holy Spirit.
But it will be for His glory.
And He will defeat
all the armies of the Antichrist,
including every Muslim pastor
that is fighting on behalf of the Antichrist
will be defeated.
And, last thing.
If you want to see it first hand,
there is nothing that I believe
that truly brings your Bible to life
than going there
and witnessing it
and seeing it
and seeing what is happening in the nation
and not listening just to media
or even the right-wing media
or the conservative media that says
the Jews are this and the Jews are that.
That is
so grieving.
We are going to be going on a trip.
I ask pastor for permission to share this with you.
So next May, a year from now,
you got lots of time to pray
and lots of time to save if you want to go.
We're going to be taking an amazing trip to Israel
May 11th to 21st.
We're so excited because our guide
who we just had in Knoxville
is a Messianic Jew.
I've gone to Israel before with a Jewish guide
but that's different.
But when you have a Messianic Jew
that is bringing it all together
when his eyes have been opened
as a Jew to the Messiah,
oh, it's so cool.
And we're going to tag him on the trip.
So get this. You got a Persian Christian
and a Messianic Jew
together on this trip.
Only God can do that.
And so there's a link there
if you want it. Two ways.
One is we have a sign up sheet on the back table.
You're not signing up for the trip tonight.
Okay, don't get nervous.
You're just signing up for interest.
We send you an email. We're going to send you a list.
We're going to send you updates.
We have a page. This is our page.
Our pricing is there
with airfare, without airfare.
It's going to be nine days in country.
11-day trip.
Unbelievable sites.
Baptism in the Jordan.
Western Wall.
We're going to be on Mt. Masada.
We're going to be in the Dead Sea.
We're going to be on the Temple Mount.
Lord willing, depending on if there's not more war.
We're going to maybe go to Starot.
It's going to be prophecy-based.
We're going to worship there.
We're going to take communion at the Garden.
I mean, all of it.
And it's a once-in-a-lifetime.
And so obviously,
if
word of life goes on their own, praise God.
And if you ever decide to do that, I can connect you with Aaron.
Because I think he'll be a phenomenal guide for you guys.
If you guys decide to do your own trip.
But in the meantime,
it's here. We have spots available.
Only about 40 spots. 38 spots.
37, 38 spots.
So we'll go fast, because we're going to stay on one bus.
We want to stay on one bus together
so we can all be sharing it.
Because as we drive places, we're going to be talking about Scripture.
We're going to be talking about history.
We're going to be talking Old and New Testament.
All of it. It's going to be
perfectly incredible.
So if you're interested, come talk to us.
I'll be sharing more information with Pastor as well.
And Lord willing,
we're going to go there. And it will change your perspective.
And it will change your Bible.
I don't mean change the Bible.
It will change your view of the Bible.
Because it's going to come to life.
So it'll be awesome. Anyway,
I'm so sorry, Pastor. I went over time. I apologize.
This is...
There's so much here to share.
I hope that's okay.
I'm sharing from just the deep
passion in my heart.
You're laughing because is this a normal thing?
I don't know. Okay, okay.
It is... Pastor, it is
in my church too.
Our folks down there
that laugh, they're like...
Our church sermon was 35 minutes.
They start laughing. They're like, 35 minutes.
Sharam is just getting warmed up
at 35 minutes. You know.
So they're used to like an hour, 15
hour, 20. So thank you guys
for your grace and your patience
today. A lot to cover here.
A lot more on the DVD.
But this is about
faithfulness to God.
Whether it's on Israel, whether it's on
salvation, whether it's on
prophecy, whether it's on biblical
marriage, whether it's on life,
whether it's on our nation
and standing for righteousness.
All of it. Let's
stand with our God. Amen.
So God bless you guys. Pastor,
I'll turn it back to you. Is that okay?
And he gets
all the honor and glory.
Amen.
