00:00.000 --> 00:12.760
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.

00:22.920 --> 00:25.740
Alright. She sent this to me.

00:27.440 --> 00:33.120
Longer that we have lack of representation. Listen closely to this. This is ties right in with Friday night.

00:33.540 --> 00:35.540
No one is talking about the Muslim shift.

00:35.540 --> 00:39.840
Great shift amongst Muslims in America is upon us right now.

00:39.920 --> 00:44.560
It's no longer that we have lack of representation, lack of support, lack of community.

00:45.040 --> 00:48.400
We are up going to any hospital with all the top doctors or Muslims.

00:48.800 --> 00:51.140
We have so many Muslims that are getting into politics.

00:51.420 --> 00:54.540
You go into Silicon Valley, there's so many Muslim CEOs and founders.

00:54.840 --> 00:59.440
We have hundreds of halal options. We got hundreds of Yemeni coffee shops, hundreds of surafests.

00:59.540 --> 01:01.480
We literally have Muslim cities.

01:01.480 --> 01:04.420
Epic city is just like the tip of the iceberg.

01:04.820 --> 01:07.320
There's going to be hundreds of epic cities all across America.

01:07.580 --> 01:10.800
Give it like 20 years though, US will be a Muslim country.

01:11.160 --> 01:13.060
No one is talking about the Muslim shift.

01:13.320 --> 01:14.500
Great shift amongst Muslims.

01:14.500 --> 01:16.280
No one is talking about the shift.

01:16.800 --> 01:26.040
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.

01:29.480 --> 01:32.780
And Friday night, by the way, was absolutely awesome.

01:34.040 --> 01:38.500
If you were not here for Friday night, you have to watch that online.

01:38.740 --> 01:44.040
It'll be under faith and freedom, but you need to watch that because Friday night was awesome.

01:47.140 --> 01:55.160
And I believe Shoram mentioned it on Friday night as well as I know he mentioned it Friday when we were out for lunch.

01:57.520 --> 02:07.400
The hope, the hope we have that this thing doesn't go sideways resides in the church.

02:08.540 --> 02:10.240
The church has to step up.

02:13.260 --> 02:17.660
And he mentioned that at lunch and I looked at him and I said, oh man, we're in trouble.

02:20.400 --> 02:23.980
Because the church in this country is living under a delusion.

02:24.780 --> 02:31.160
Not everyone, but 95% plus is living under delusion.

02:31.160 --> 02:43.040
They're swallowing the interfaith thing and that we and Muslims can live together peaceably because we all serve the same God.

02:44.060 --> 02:51.500
And this is being proclaimed by many ministers and ministries in this land.

02:52.780 --> 02:59.840
And the saddest part of that whole thing, that deception, is we're not doing anything to get them saved.

03:03.090 --> 03:06.270
Well, we all serve same God. We don't have to get them saved.

03:06.950 --> 03:14.890
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.

03:15.930 --> 03:25.830
And the second saddest thing that comes out of that is we are setting our grandchildren, our grandchildren, our great-grandchildren up for disaster.

03:31.890 --> 03:37.490
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.

03:38.190 --> 03:47.110
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.

03:48.250 --> 03:55.510
But without God doing something, this is going to go bad fairly quick.

03:55.510 --> 04:06.310
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.

04:07.530 --> 04:17.270
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.

04:19.450 --> 04:35.030
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.

04:35.330 --> 04:44.310
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

04:44.310 --> 04:50.710
because it won't be long. There's going to be many opportunities staring us in the face. It's coming.

04:52.290 --> 05:09.380
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.

05:09.480 --> 05:15.060
Just like Western Europe is almost there already. We're going to go there.

05:15.060 --> 05:22.920
And I know Christians are the greatest denial people on the face of the earth. We love to go into denial.

05:24.300 --> 05:34.060
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.

05:34.140 --> 05:37.560
When you were sitting home and you didn't pay attention to what was going on here.

05:39.960 --> 05:47.620
Powerful, powerful information and bringing understanding to what is really happening and how the agenda works.

05:50.160 --> 05:54.660
You say, well, Jesus is going to come. Well, good luck with that one.

05:56.660 --> 06:02.000
He is going to come. But he may not come as soon as we think he is.

06:03.380 --> 06:10.660
Do you know that by the Jewish calendar, we still have 215 years to go before the millennial, six millennial rolls up?

06:11.860 --> 06:17.800
The Hebrew calendar? We're at like 5785 or something like that now.

06:19.820 --> 06:26.540
You know how rotten this world could be if it goes that long, 215 more years?

06:27.920 --> 06:33.100
If we don't take a stand, if we don't get behind this, if we don't deal with this.

06:34.420 --> 06:42.620
Because in my heart, this is, you know, put me on record on this. I'll probably be gone hopefully before it happens.

06:44.240 --> 06:46.120
But you never know, it could come sooner.

06:48.680 --> 06:55.640
My heart says the Islam faith are going to be the enforcers for the Antichrist.

06:58.300 --> 07:00.120
We have to get in front of this.

07:01.560 --> 07:12.560
Because the Bible talks about people coming out of the tribulation by the numbers that were too great to count, John said,

07:13.960 --> 07:16.760
who were beheaded for their faith.

07:19.140 --> 07:25.320
What country, what army, what anything today beheads Christians or Jews?

07:26.500 --> 07:30.680
There's only one. It's the Islam faith.

07:32.220 --> 07:43.340
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.

07:45.180 --> 07:51.380
It's going to be a whole different world with persecution and death threats and death and everything else.

07:51.380 --> 07:54.000
That is where we're headed, folks.

07:55.500 --> 08:02.320
You have to listen to Friday night. We have to do what we can, not just the choir here,

08:03.180 --> 08:09.160
but to stand for America and wake up America and Shoram. We stand with you. We support you.

08:09.840 --> 08:12.520
You might feel like you're alone.

08:14.180 --> 08:16.000
Well, there's two of us then.

08:16.900 --> 08:19.100
And Dale's here this morning, so that makes three.

08:20.080 --> 08:24.340
And there's a group more who are saying, hey, we will stand with you on this.

08:24.680 --> 08:30.160
After we got done talking on Friday, now I want you to understand something, goes with what Mary talked about on prayer.

08:30.600 --> 08:36.920
And when God asks you to do something, she said it's not always glorious. I'm going to say it a different way.

08:37.340 --> 08:42.040
When God asks you to do something, there's always suffering involved. Always.

08:42.040 --> 08:45.500
Because he's asking you to do something that your flesh doesn't want to do.

08:46.620 --> 08:54.040
Or you're incapable of doing, and now we have to actually enlarge the wine skin, which is painful.

08:55.420 --> 08:56.760
I mean, I'm just being honest.

09:01.550 --> 09:08.910
After we got done chatting at lunch on Friday, I looked at him, or toward the end, I looked at Shoram,

09:08.910 --> 09:19.010
and I said, so basically, if the church doesn't get in front of this, right now you're basically Isaiah or Jeremiah.

09:19.470 --> 09:24.330
You're a prophet called to sound the message, even though it may be being spoken on deaf ears.

09:24.930 --> 09:28.190
You're the one called to make the message known.

09:29.450 --> 09:34.250
And he said, yep, that's my call. That's what God asked me to do.

09:35.850 --> 09:39.010
And it's still, we can, this thing can still turn.

09:39.750 --> 09:42.330
We're not too late yet. This thing can still turn.

09:42.790 --> 09:45.230
But the church of Jesus Christ has to wake up.

09:46.830 --> 09:51.070
Come out of there, you know, it's not even so much their sleep. They're deceived.

09:52.550 --> 09:55.050
We have to come out of that deception.

09:55.870 --> 09:58.970
So we stand with you. I want to encourage you.

09:59.270 --> 10:02.830
I know it's probably a drop in the bottom of a bucket,

10:02.830 --> 10:07.250
but we want to encourage you to stay true to God's call.

10:08.390 --> 10:10.570
And keep saying it, keep saying it.

10:10.770 --> 10:15.470
And if you end up martyred for it, so be it, we'll probably be next in line.

10:16.390 --> 10:17.770
And that's the way it is.

10:18.550 --> 10:21.150
But in the end, we know who wins.

10:22.790 --> 10:26.290
So it is a privilege and an honor to have you again.

10:27.070 --> 10:32.010
Come and share what's on your heart and challenge us.

10:32.010 --> 10:34.570
Don't go easy on us. Challenge us.

10:35.350 --> 10:46.980
Amen. Let me just get set up here real quick.

10:52.160 --> 10:55.180
Pastor, I can't tell you how much that means. Thank you.

10:55.520 --> 10:56.660
Thank you for that encouragement.

10:57.320 --> 10:58.880
Thank you for the affirmation.

10:59.740 --> 11:02.060
It is an honor to stand with all of you.

11:02.240 --> 11:05.500
It is an honor to stand with you and Pastor Dale and all of you here

11:06.140 --> 11:10.120
as we stand together because we represent the Lord.

11:10.500 --> 11:11.840
We are the army of the Lord.

11:11.840 --> 11:14.300
We are His people.

11:15.000 --> 11:21.640
And it is an honor to be able to be a voice.

11:22.500 --> 11:29.980
And I tell you, it is worth every moment of it to honor the Lord.

11:30.520 --> 11:33.160
No matter how hard, no matter how difficult it gets.

11:34.020 --> 11:40.340
And as you said, Pastor Vern, even unto death, we still glorify Him.

11:40.340 --> 11:43.540
We honor Him to live as Christ, to die as gain.

11:44.340 --> 11:48.040
So I lose nothing when I die, right?

11:48.560 --> 11:51.040
I always encourage the body of Christ, especially in this nation.

11:51.680 --> 11:55.240
Why, as born-again, spirit-filled Christians, do we fear death?

11:56.000 --> 11:57.440
We should not fear death.

11:57.900 --> 12:00.860
We all get scared, but we should not fear death

12:00.860 --> 12:06.660
because death is the graduation, ultimately.

12:06.660 --> 12:12.100
So, as Pastor said, unless the Lord comes back soon,

12:12.500 --> 12:14.400
most of us are going to see death.

12:15.020 --> 12:17.800
And so therefore, let's live for Christ, amen.

12:18.600 --> 12:23.500
And so, let me just pray, and I just want to pray the Lord's anointing.

12:24.080 --> 12:27.840
Father, I thank you for this powerful time of worship today.

12:28.780 --> 12:31.740
What a privilege it is to be here,

12:32.220 --> 12:35.440
to be able to worship with the body of Christ.

12:36.380 --> 12:39.580
What a glimpse of heaven that we saw this morning

12:39.580 --> 12:44.260
as we get to prepare to worship you for eternity one day,

12:44.720 --> 12:49.520
to revel in your glory, that indeed, there is no one like you.

12:49.620 --> 12:51.920
Indeed, there is no rival to you.

12:52.280 --> 12:54.400
No one compares to you.

12:54.880 --> 12:57.780
And so, Father, thank you that you've torn the veil.

12:58.020 --> 12:59.840
Thank you that you've opened the door,

13:00.000 --> 13:04.180
that you've made the way that you love us so much

13:04.180 --> 13:07.800
that you desire to spend eternity with us.

13:08.200 --> 13:13.660
And I pray this morning, as we're talking about the nation of Israel,

13:14.060 --> 13:16.800
we're really talking about your promises.

13:17.220 --> 13:19.440
We're really talking about your heart.

13:19.840 --> 13:22.120
We're really talking about your word.

13:22.500 --> 13:25.320
And we're really talking about your faithfulness.

13:25.500 --> 13:29.420
Because that applies to every area of our lives,

13:29.740 --> 13:33.460
not just the topic of Israel or prophecy.

13:33.460 --> 13:36.780
So, Lord, I pray the anointing of the Holy Spirit this morning.

13:37.340 --> 13:39.520
Open our minds, open our hearts.

13:39.680 --> 13:43.620
Help me to communicate your heart and your word this morning

13:43.620 --> 13:48.960
so that we can edify and equip your body to stand with you

13:48.960 --> 13:51.080
in these days that we are in.

13:51.400 --> 13:53.000
We bless you, we honor you.

13:53.100 --> 13:54.460
We give you all honor and glory.

13:54.600 --> 13:58.260
In Jesus' name I pray, amen and amen.

13:59.480 --> 14:03.300
So, first of all, I do want to say a blessing to all you mothers.

14:04.700 --> 14:07.500
My wife is at home and with our six kids,

14:07.700 --> 14:11.160
and so I was so grateful to her that she gave me the okay

14:11.160 --> 14:14.560
to come on this trip this week because I asked her ahead of time.

14:14.700 --> 14:16.900
I said, babe, I'm not going to be there from Mother's Day,

14:17.140 --> 14:21.580
but she is sacrificial and I married the best,

14:21.780 --> 14:22.780
the best of the best.

14:23.620 --> 14:28.320
So, just to my wife and to all of you moms,

14:28.900 --> 14:30.440
I pray you have a blessed day today

14:30.440 --> 14:35.920
and I agree wholeheartedly we must do a much better job

14:35.920 --> 14:39.580
of honoring moms, especially in a culture

14:39.580 --> 14:41.860
that doesn't even know what a mom is anymore, right?

14:42.400 --> 14:45.880
We need to honor, restore godly motherhood

14:45.880 --> 14:48.600
to the nation, to the bride of Christ,

14:48.840 --> 14:51.540
and so you guys are that.

14:51.980 --> 14:55.900
Just, I pray the Proverbs 31 blessing on all of you

14:55.900 --> 14:58.500
and that the Lord would richly, richly bless you

14:58.500 --> 15:00.460
and keep you deeply grounded.

15:00.800 --> 15:02.980
Now, this morning as we talk about Israel,

15:03.700 --> 15:06.560
I know this is not a typical Mother's Day message

15:06.560 --> 15:09.900
talking about Israel, but I want to again mention

15:09.900 --> 15:12.460
that this is really talking about God's heart,

15:12.900 --> 15:13.800
God's promises.

15:14.500 --> 15:17.000
How many of us know God's a covenant God, amen?

15:17.380 --> 15:22.580
He's a covenant keeper, and God keeps his promises, amen?

15:23.440 --> 15:26.780
Now, we, as pastors said, we may be unfaithful,

15:26.780 --> 15:28.480
but he is always faithful.

15:29.600 --> 15:30.920
So as we get into this,

15:31.040 --> 15:33.020
I just want to give you just quick housekeeping items

15:33.020 --> 15:33.880
if you want to connect.

15:34.200 --> 15:36.280
As Pastor Verne said, there's so much going on

15:36.280 --> 15:39.680
and there's so much that we got to equip the body of Christ on.

15:40.020 --> 15:42.080
So I just want to encourage you, come to the table,

15:43.340 --> 15:45.940
get a card, sign up for our newsletter

15:45.940 --> 15:47.800
if you want to be connected to our ministry.

15:48.260 --> 15:49.480
We're on rumble as well.

15:50.440 --> 15:51.920
Of course, Word of Life is on rumble

15:51.920 --> 15:55.620
and the presentation of Friday night was on rumble.

15:55.620 --> 15:57.440
I'm already sending that link out to people.

15:57.700 --> 16:00.420
So thank you guys, tech people for doing that.

16:00.780 --> 16:03.180
And we're on rumble. Check out our channel there,

16:03.180 --> 16:05.380
because we do live shows every week.

16:05.460 --> 16:07.660
We're trying to stay on top of everything that's going on

16:07.660 --> 16:10.800
so that the body of Christ that have ears to hear

16:10.800 --> 16:12.400
can be equipped.

16:13.060 --> 16:15.260
Now, if you don't know my backstory,

16:15.440 --> 16:18.120
if you haven't heard me speak here before,

16:18.640 --> 16:20.580
you know that, or you may not know

16:20.580 --> 16:21.860
that I'm originally from Iran.

16:22.400 --> 16:24.800
I was born into a Muslim family.

16:24.800 --> 16:27.060
My mom's side was much more devout than my dad.

16:27.220 --> 16:28.500
My dad was a career military officer.

16:29.200 --> 16:31.180
Iran, of course, is Persia.

16:32.100 --> 16:35.980
Before Iran was conquered by Islam in 651 A.D.,

16:36.320 --> 16:37.380
it was Persia.

16:37.700 --> 16:41.040
And Persia goes back long before Islam ever

16:41.040 --> 16:43.160
was birthed out of the brain of Satan.

16:43.720 --> 16:47.160
So this... and forgive me for speaking so aggressively

16:47.160 --> 16:51.100
about this ideology that is the most demonic ideology

16:51.100 --> 16:52.640
on the planet, in my opinion.

16:52.640 --> 16:57.400
So you can see on the picture there,

16:57.580 --> 17:00.140
do you figure out which one I am on that picture?

17:00.460 --> 17:01.360
I was the youngest one.

17:02.340 --> 17:04.140
I joked that when I had lots of hair,

17:04.340 --> 17:05.300
I don't know what happened to the hair,

17:05.560 --> 17:06.780
but it disappeared.

17:09.260 --> 17:11.320
But Iran, when I was born in Iran,

17:11.500 --> 17:12.940
Iran was not what it is today

17:12.940 --> 17:16.640
under this Islamic tyranny and theocracy.

17:17.180 --> 17:18.720
And every day today in Iran,

17:18.920 --> 17:21.500
46 years later after the government was overthrown,

17:21.500 --> 17:24.700
the people of Iran are shouting death to Islam.

17:26.440 --> 17:28.120
Death to Islam.

17:28.880 --> 17:32.460
Because they are so sick and tired of this tyranny.

17:32.920 --> 17:34.980
And that should be the warning called to America.

17:35.500 --> 17:37.440
America is embracing Islam.

17:38.000 --> 17:40.620
America is embracing this ideology

17:40.620 --> 17:45.660
which not only leads to the most gruesome

17:45.660 --> 17:48.360
and intense persecution of Christians,

17:49.120 --> 17:52.240
but it is also what is leading to the most vile

17:52.240 --> 17:55.260
anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews.

17:57.440 --> 18:01.360
So, when I came to the Lord 26 years ago,

18:02.000 --> 18:04.320
as a Muslim I had been taught

18:04.320 --> 18:08.340
that it is our duty to oppose and hate Jews.

18:09.240 --> 18:11.760
Because the Jews have been cursed.

18:12.300 --> 18:14.320
And I mentioned that on Friday night.

18:14.780 --> 18:15.900
I mentioned that a little bit later,

18:15.900 --> 18:19.460
but Muslims pray this every day in their prayers

18:19.460 --> 18:23.200
by quoting the first chapter of the Quran.

18:23.780 --> 18:24.920
The Jews are cursed.

18:25.560 --> 18:28.160
The wrath of quote Allah is upon them.

18:28.360 --> 18:31.140
Why? Because they have corrupted what was revealed.

18:31.900 --> 18:33.480
Did you know that according to Islam,

18:33.660 --> 18:35.840
all the Old Testament prophets were really Muslims?

18:36.380 --> 18:37.380
They just didn't know it yet.

18:40.160 --> 18:42.260
So, the Jews are cursed

18:42.260 --> 18:44.200
and then comes along the Christians

18:44.200 --> 18:46.920
and the Christians were deceived by the Jews.

18:49.100 --> 18:53.040
And now there is a need for a final message

18:53.040 --> 18:54.000
according to Islam.

18:56.720 --> 19:00.020
And when I became a Christian 26 years ago

19:00.020 --> 19:02.320
and left Islam and the Lord opened my eyes

19:02.320 --> 19:05.060
to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ

19:05.060 --> 19:07.180
and showed me there is but one way

19:07.180 --> 19:09.620
and one God and one name under heaven

19:09.620 --> 19:10.860
by which you can be saved.

19:10.860 --> 19:13.180
Sharam, one way is true, one way is a lie.

19:13.420 --> 19:14.860
Choose today whom you are going to serve.

19:15.200 --> 19:18.020
As Pastor Verne said, there was no middle ground.

19:18.500 --> 19:20.620
The Lord in my own testimony did not say,

19:20.900 --> 19:22.860
oh, there is some middle ground common word,

19:23.000 --> 19:24.660
interfaith, that we can all pretend

19:24.660 --> 19:25.960
we worship the same God.

19:26.320 --> 19:28.260
I came out of darkness into light.

19:28.620 --> 19:31.040
That's it. It is that simple.

19:31.240 --> 19:33.280
I was in darkness, I came into light.

19:33.560 --> 19:34.980
There was no gray area.

19:37.420 --> 19:39.720
And so all these quote Christians

19:39.720 --> 19:41.660
that want to quote love Muslims

19:41.660 --> 19:43.800
and they love Muslims so much

19:43.800 --> 19:45.080
that they never give them the gospel.

19:46.340 --> 19:47.320
Here in Minnesota,

19:47.780 --> 19:49.360
well, we're just going to live in community together.

19:49.820 --> 19:51.200
We're going to learn how to live together.

19:51.800 --> 19:53.660
We're going to be families together.

19:54.560 --> 19:56.040
Well, first of all, they're going to hell

19:56.040 --> 19:57.420
apart from the gospel.

19:58.480 --> 20:00.820
And secondly, they have an agenda

20:00.820 --> 20:02.420
that you just heard on the screen this morning.

20:03.000 --> 20:05.200
And the Muslims now are boldly proclaiming,

20:05.300 --> 20:06.500
it's just a matter of time.

20:07.220 --> 20:10.700
Is it 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, 50 years?

20:10.980 --> 20:12.300
Whatever the timing is,

20:12.400 --> 20:14.420
they believe it's just a matter of time

20:14.420 --> 20:16.520
because the Christian churches have surrendered.

20:17.520 --> 20:18.820
You don't know it yet,

20:18.900 --> 20:19.920
but we've already surrendered.

20:20.340 --> 20:22.300
We're already becoming what's called dimmitude.

20:23.800 --> 20:24.920
Aldima, subjugated.

20:25.480 --> 20:27.360
Because the moment we don't stand up,

20:27.640 --> 20:28.740
we're basically conceding.

20:29.780 --> 20:31.080
But here's what I want to tell you,

20:31.140 --> 20:32.160
up front doesn't get lost

20:32.160 --> 20:33.600
before we get into this presentation.

20:33.600 --> 20:37.100
Christ has not surrendered.

20:37.580 --> 20:38.940
Christ has defeated.

20:39.340 --> 20:40.080
He is victorious.

20:41.260 --> 20:43.400
And he is on his throne.

20:44.040 --> 20:45.320
And the king of kings,

20:45.400 --> 20:47.320
and I agree 100% of Pastor Verne,

20:47.620 --> 20:49.260
I believe Islam is going to be central

20:49.260 --> 20:52.000
to the anti-Christ movement,

20:52.260 --> 20:53.460
to the beast system,

20:53.640 --> 20:54.740
to the book of Revelation.

20:55.040 --> 20:56.480
They will be the central force

20:56.480 --> 20:58.920
that are carrying out the atrocities

20:58.920 --> 21:00.560
that are going to happen.

21:00.560 --> 21:02.280
But here's the good news.

21:02.760 --> 21:04.020
Upon the return of the king of kings

21:04.020 --> 21:06.320
and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ

21:06.320 --> 21:07.680
will destroy Islam.

21:09.440 --> 21:10.920
It will be destroyed,

21:11.260 --> 21:13.200
as is every other false ideology.

21:14.340 --> 21:16.480
So, when I became a Christian,

21:17.260 --> 21:19.320
the Lord changed my heart

21:19.320 --> 21:20.480
for the Jewish people.

21:21.520 --> 21:22.840
I was taught to hate them.

21:23.140 --> 21:24.040
I was taught that they were

21:24.040 --> 21:25.620
crooked nose in the Quran

21:25.620 --> 21:26.700
and says they're apes

21:26.700 --> 21:27.800
and pigs and monkeys.

21:28.640 --> 21:30.160
In the hadith

21:30.160 --> 21:31.320
it teaches that Jesus,

21:31.560 --> 21:32.920
their Jesus will come back

21:32.920 --> 21:35.060
and not only destroy the cross

21:35.740 --> 21:37.740
because they claim the cross never happened,

21:38.120 --> 21:39.540
Jesus was never crucified.

21:40.580 --> 21:42.260
How can you have common ground

21:42.260 --> 21:44.640
if that demonic book says

21:44.640 --> 21:45.800
there was no crucifixion?

21:46.640 --> 21:47.180
Amen.

21:49.540 --> 21:50.100
It's impossible.

21:51.380 --> 21:53.140
But then they also teach

21:53.140 --> 21:55.180
that Jesus will come back

21:55.180 --> 21:57.040
and he will kill the pigs.

21:57.840 --> 21:59.060
And he's not talking

21:59.060 --> 22:00.280
about swine animals.

22:03.470 --> 22:04.450
When the Lord

22:04.450 --> 22:05.550
brought me out of Islam,

22:06.030 --> 22:08.550
the Holy Spirit began to change my heart.

22:09.230 --> 22:11.210
And I began to fall in love.

22:12.270 --> 22:12.910
Why?

22:13.330 --> 22:14.910
Because our Messiah is Jewish.

22:16.790 --> 22:17.970
He's not Anglo.

22:18.750 --> 22:19.330
Right?

22:20.050 --> 22:20.710
He's not British.

22:21.450 --> 22:22.430
He's Jewish.

22:23.710 --> 22:25.410
And so I stand here today

22:25.410 --> 22:26.690
and someone would say,

22:26.690 --> 22:27.990
well, why are you

22:28.630 --> 22:30.670
as a Christian who is from Iran,

22:31.210 --> 22:31.570
Persia?

22:32.050 --> 22:34.250
Iran is never in the Bible. Persia is.

22:34.470 --> 22:35.890
Meads the...

22:35.890 --> 22:37.270
I'll talk about that in a minute.

22:37.490 --> 22:38.730
Why would you support Israel?

22:38.830 --> 22:41.010
When I say support Israel,

22:41.410 --> 22:44.030
it doesn't mean I agree with everything the Israeli government does.

22:44.430 --> 22:46.130
During COVID, I was very critical

22:46.130 --> 22:47.030
of the Israeli government

22:47.030 --> 22:48.590
because they were like all in for COVID.

22:49.350 --> 22:50.810
They were one of the first countries,

22:51.010 --> 22:52.750
lockdown, masking,

22:52.750 --> 22:53.730
tracking.

22:54.190 --> 22:56.430
So it is absolutely okay

22:56.430 --> 22:58.790
to look at

22:58.790 --> 23:00.590
and be critical of

23:00.590 --> 23:02.430
the behavior of government.

23:02.670 --> 23:04.470
For goodness' sake, I've been

23:04.470 --> 23:07.030
more critical of our government in this nation

23:07.030 --> 23:07.910
than maybe anybody.

23:09.870 --> 23:12.350
It is our duty to call out

23:12.350 --> 23:13.790
unrighteous things. That's fine.

23:14.370 --> 23:16.290
But when we say we support Israel,

23:16.690 --> 23:18.490
we're talking about God's Word.

23:18.910 --> 23:20.770
We're talking about God's promises.

23:20.770 --> 23:23.430
We're talking about that He's not done with them.

23:23.530 --> 23:24.850
We're talking about that

23:24.850 --> 23:26.390
there are still things yet to be fulfilled.

23:26.570 --> 23:28.550
We're talking about the Jewish people,

23:28.770 --> 23:31.450
the right to the land, the right to self-defense.

23:31.730 --> 23:33.090
And we're talking about

23:34.750 --> 23:36.810
that they will not...

23:36.810 --> 23:39.070
also, and I'll mention this today,

23:39.450 --> 23:40.590
that there is a coming

23:40.590 --> 23:41.770
false peace

23:42.650 --> 23:44.690
that the world has to be aware of.

23:45.250 --> 23:47.130
Now, the other reason I support

23:47.130 --> 23:48.650
as a Persian Christian

23:48.650 --> 23:50.450
Israel is because

23:50.450 --> 23:52.470
there is a very amazing

23:52.470 --> 23:54.550
symbiotic relationship between

23:54.550 --> 23:56.650
Persia and the Jewish people

23:56.650 --> 23:57.170
in the Bible.

23:58.270 --> 24:00.410
And the reason for this is because

24:00.410 --> 24:02.190
if you go back

24:03.170 --> 24:04.510
all the way to the

24:04.510 --> 24:05.610
line of Noah

24:06.410 --> 24:08.590
to the story of Noah, I should say,

24:09.350 --> 24:11.290
we know Noah had three sons, right?

24:12.630 --> 24:14.430
Well, one of the misconceptions about

24:14.430 --> 24:16.250
people from Iran or Persians

24:16.250 --> 24:17.370
is that we are Arabs.

24:18.850 --> 24:20.330
And now, I don't get

24:20.330 --> 24:21.510
upset about this, but

24:21.510 --> 24:23.650
there are some Persians that if you say,

24:23.750 --> 24:25.990
are you Arab? They get a little upset.

24:26.590 --> 24:27.890
They get a little bit, you know,

24:27.990 --> 24:28.750
bothered by that.

24:30.050 --> 24:32.150
Because again, Persia was around long

24:32.150 --> 24:33.190
before the Arabs.

24:34.750 --> 24:35.210
So

24:37.010 --> 24:38.130
when you go back

24:38.130 --> 24:39.990
into the Bible and you go back to

24:39.990 --> 24:41.590
Noah and you look at his sons,

24:42.630 --> 24:43.550
his son Shem

24:43.550 --> 24:45.530
is where we get the line of

24:45.530 --> 24:47.050
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

24:48.190 --> 24:49.610
Well, one of

24:49.610 --> 24:51.730
Shem's sons was Elam.

24:53.970 --> 24:54.770
Elam

24:55.450 --> 24:57.410
is ancient Persia.

24:58.930 --> 24:59.290
So

24:59.290 --> 25:01.310
Persians and

25:01.310 --> 25:03.090
Jews are cousins.

25:04.170 --> 25:05.410
We're Semitic.

25:06.270 --> 25:07.430
I'm not Arab.

25:08.190 --> 25:09.950
So it is in our DNA.

25:10.450 --> 25:11.350
Listen to what I'm saying.

25:11.350 --> 25:12.850
I believe it is in our DNA

25:14.450 --> 25:15.670
that the Persians

25:15.670 --> 25:17.290
and the Jews will stand together.

25:18.570 --> 25:19.550
So I don't believe it's

25:19.550 --> 25:20.010
an accident

25:21.270 --> 25:23.350
that you see the majority of people in

25:23.350 --> 25:25.330
Iran today saying we stand with the nation

25:25.330 --> 25:26.570
of Israel, not the government,

25:28.070 --> 25:28.930
but the people.

25:29.670 --> 25:31.090
It is not an accident that the lowest

25:31.090 --> 25:33.310
anti-Semitism in the entire Middle East

25:33.310 --> 25:35.030
is in Iran. The highest

25:35.030 --> 25:36.710
anti-Semitism is the Middle East.

25:37.970 --> 25:39.110
I wonder what the correlation

25:39.110 --> 25:39.630
is.

25:41.750 --> 25:43.510
And Elam is mentioned

25:43.510 --> 25:45.070
twice, or Persia.

25:45.310 --> 25:46.990
One, it's mentioned as

25:46.990 --> 25:48.790
the government, because in Ezekiel 38

25:48.790 --> 25:51.110
we know there's going to be a battle that's going to come

25:51.110 --> 25:53.310
called the Gog and Magog war.

25:54.230 --> 25:54.750
And

25:54.750 --> 25:57.330
the Scripture gives us nations

25:57.330 --> 25:58.010
by name.

25:58.790 --> 26:00.650
And Persia is mentioned

26:00.650 --> 26:03.010
by name as coming against

26:03.010 --> 26:05.070
Israel. God will put a

26:05.070 --> 26:07.110
hook in their mouth, bring them, and then

26:07.110 --> 26:09.130
he will defeat them. God will defeat

26:09.130 --> 26:11.090
them. And I, of course, believe that

26:11.090 --> 26:12.670
that war has not happened yet.

26:13.110 --> 26:15.150
And it's in the future at some point.

26:15.990 --> 26:17.190
But is that talking

26:17.190 --> 26:19.050
about the people, or is that talking

26:19.050 --> 26:21.070
about the government? So I believe

26:21.070 --> 26:23.310
it's talking about the government, because

26:23.310 --> 26:25.110
in Jeremiah 49 there's

26:25.110 --> 26:27.170
a prophecy that, again, I believe

26:27.170 --> 26:29.190
is yet to be fulfilled, specifically about

26:29.190 --> 26:31.330
Elam. And the Word

26:31.330 --> 26:32.730
of the Lord says that God

26:32.730 --> 26:34.910
will come against and break the

26:34.910 --> 26:36.170
bow of Elam,

26:36.690 --> 26:38.910
and will break or cut

26:38.910 --> 26:39.850
their princes,

26:40.850 --> 26:42.610
their leaders. Now, the bow

26:42.610 --> 26:45.110
usually means military

26:45.110 --> 26:46.710
might, their

26:46.710 --> 26:48.990
power. Remember, Ezekiel

26:48.990 --> 26:50.710
was getting this vision back in his

26:50.710 --> 26:53.230
time. But, you know,

26:53.290 --> 26:54.950
we know that it's talking about their

26:54.950 --> 26:56.470
might. So he's going to break

26:56.470 --> 26:58.670
their bow, their might. He's going to

26:58.670 --> 27:00.790
scatter them, the people of

27:00.790 --> 27:02.630
Elam. And then this is

27:02.630 --> 27:03.390
something remarkable.

27:04.530 --> 27:06.110
Once they're scattered, it says,

27:06.270 --> 27:07.690
in the last days

27:09.670 --> 27:10.670
God will

27:10.670 --> 27:12.670
regather them, the people

27:12.670 --> 27:14.630
of Elam, bring them back

27:14.630 --> 27:16.510
to the land, and then this is incredible.

27:17.730 --> 27:18.850
It says God

27:18.850 --> 27:20.630
will establish his throne

27:20.630 --> 27:22.310
in Elam.

27:23.590 --> 27:24.610
Now, the only other

27:24.610 --> 27:26.470
place God establishes his throne

27:26.470 --> 27:28.010
is in Jerusalem.

27:29.970 --> 27:30.430
Why

27:31.090 --> 27:32.190
no other place?

27:32.830 --> 27:34.570
If you can find it, let me know. I don't

27:34.570 --> 27:36.330
see any other place that

27:36.330 --> 27:38.610
God promises to establish his throne

27:38.610 --> 27:38.890
there.

27:40.970 --> 27:42.490
And I believe that this

27:42.490 --> 27:44.350
is part of that

27:44.350 --> 27:45.770
symbiotic relationship

27:47.430 --> 27:48.470
between Elam

27:49.730 --> 27:50.250
and

27:50.250 --> 27:51.450
our cousins.

27:52.570 --> 27:54.110
That lineage of Abraham,

27:54.450 --> 27:56.190
Isaac, and Jacob. Now, here's another interesting

27:56.190 --> 27:57.410
thing. Where is Elam?

27:58.310 --> 27:59.990
Where Elam is modern

27:59.990 --> 28:01.590
day southwestern

28:01.590 --> 28:01.950
Iran.

28:02.990 --> 28:04.870
Right on that Persian

28:04.870 --> 28:06.710
Gulf that I'm not happy that

28:06.710 --> 28:09.110
President Trump wants to call it the Gulf of Arabia.

28:09.290 --> 28:10.790
I'm really mad about that, by the way.

28:11.750 --> 28:13.070
The Persians have been around

28:13.070 --> 28:15.110
a lot longer than the Arabs, as I mentioned

28:15.110 --> 28:15.490
already.

28:17.170 --> 28:18.690
I'll let it go, but, you know,

28:21.970 --> 28:23.130
Elam is where

28:23.130 --> 28:24.410
the story of Esther happened.

28:24.410 --> 28:26.430
The entirety of the story

28:26.430 --> 28:27.830
of Esther happens in Elam.

28:28.330 --> 28:30.350
Shusha, you know, the city

28:30.350 --> 28:32.210
of Susa in the story of Esther.

28:32.530 --> 28:34.530
That's Shushan in Elam.

28:35.110 --> 28:36.290
Daniel is buried

28:36.290 --> 28:38.010
there in Elam.

28:40.250 --> 28:42.410
But also, Iran's

28:42.410 --> 28:44.350
the majority of

28:44.350 --> 28:46.310
their nuclear facilities is right

28:46.310 --> 28:46.610
there.

28:48.110 --> 28:50.170
And so when the word says that

28:50.170 --> 28:51.950
the bow is going to be broken,

28:53.150 --> 28:54.250
could the bow be

28:54.250 --> 28:54.690
a missile?

28:56.630 --> 28:58.110
And then they're going to be scattered.

28:58.310 --> 28:59.310
Why are they going to be scattered?

28:59.770 --> 29:01.690
Maybe a fallout? I mean, again, this is speculation.

29:02.470 --> 29:02.970
I don't know.

29:03.850 --> 29:06.150
But whatever it is, it's interesting

29:06.150 --> 29:07.770
that there's a focus. It's like

29:07.770 --> 29:09.530
there's a focus on Jerusalem. The enemy

29:09.530 --> 29:11.790
is always wanting Jerusalem. There's a focus

29:11.790 --> 29:13.670
there. Now, all that to say,

29:13.770 --> 29:15.690
I'm here today to declare this.

29:16.890 --> 29:17.950
That the church

29:17.950 --> 29:19.290
of Jesus Christ is

29:19.290 --> 29:20.730
is grossly missing

29:21.290 --> 29:23.310
what God is doing in these

29:23.310 --> 29:25.210
days. Because Israel is

29:25.210 --> 29:26.090
God's timepiece.

29:27.470 --> 29:29.110
The clock has started.

29:29.490 --> 29:31.170
People ask me all the time, why

29:31.170 --> 29:33.130
do you believe that we potentially

29:33.130 --> 29:34.550
are in that last generation?

29:35.130 --> 29:36.730
Because for 2,000 years

29:37.150 --> 29:39.150
the church has awaited

29:39.150 --> 29:41.150
the coming of the Lord. Amen, the second coming

29:41.150 --> 29:43.670
that is. And for 2,000 years

29:43.670 --> 29:45.310
every generation of believers

29:45.310 --> 29:46.970
must live with

29:46.970 --> 29:49.150
urgency. Right? Because it could

29:49.150 --> 29:51.210
be in our generation and therefore

29:51.210 --> 29:53.230
we live with urgency to proclaim

29:53.230 --> 29:55.190
the good news, to proclaim the gospel,

29:55.270 --> 29:56.510
to go into the nations and make

29:56.510 --> 29:58.670
disciples of all the nations. And if it

29:58.670 --> 30:01.130
didn't happen in our generation, no problem.

30:01.410 --> 30:02.810
We're in heaven with the Lord. Amen.

30:03.070 --> 30:04.770
We're rejoicing. We're praising.

30:05.070 --> 30:06.770
We're worshiping. And we're waiting

30:06.770 --> 30:08.690
upon the next generation. And

30:08.690 --> 30:09.950
until the Lord comes.

30:10.850 --> 30:12.750
So why would we

30:12.750 --> 30:14.930
be so, quote, arrogant to

30:14.930 --> 30:16.750
declare this could be the generation?

30:17.410 --> 30:18.770
Well, the only

30:18.770 --> 30:20.430
answer is Israel.

30:21.830 --> 30:22.710
Because something

30:22.710 --> 30:23.430
has happened

30:24.510 --> 30:26.770
that has been prophesied for a long

30:26.770 --> 30:28.830
time. And most

30:28.830 --> 30:31.010
the church is missing it. Now why

30:31.010 --> 30:32.870
are they missing it? Multiple reasons, but let

30:32.870 --> 30:34.910
me get into covenant. I love covenant.

30:35.210 --> 30:36.950
Amen. I love teaching

30:36.950 --> 30:38.710
on the covenants. I love that

30:38.710 --> 30:40.790
God is covenantal. Thank you, Lord,

30:40.910 --> 30:42.430
that you make a promise with to us.

30:42.430 --> 30:44.470
Thank you that our salvation is based

30:44.470 --> 30:46.250
on covenant. Amen. That God

30:46.250 --> 30:48.450
promised eternal life to us, to those

30:48.450 --> 30:50.570
who, you know, people ask

30:50.570 --> 30:52.230
me, well, why do you want it?

30:52.310 --> 30:54.230
Why are you bold? I said, I'm not trying

30:54.230 --> 30:55.950
to be bold. I hope I pray this by power

30:55.950 --> 30:57.930
of the Holy Spirit. But the reason if I am bold

30:57.930 --> 31:00.290
is because I believe God's promises.

31:03.450 --> 31:04.430
So this all starts

31:04.430 --> 31:06.270
with the Abrahamic covenant. The

31:06.270 --> 31:07.870
entirety of the argument is about the

31:08.450 --> 31:10.030
Abrahamic covenant. And the entirety

31:10.030 --> 31:11.850
of the deception is on the Abrahamic

31:11.850 --> 31:13.770
covenant. Because what are we

31:13.770 --> 31:15.530
claiming now? Today we're claiming

31:15.530 --> 31:18.050
that Islam is an Abrahamic faith.

31:19.790 --> 31:21.810
Islam is simply goes back to the

31:21.810 --> 31:23.270
God of Abraham, so therefore what?

31:23.450 --> 31:25.390
We're all of the same God. Christians,

31:25.810 --> 31:27.870
Muslims, Jews, we're all

31:27.870 --> 31:29.950
from Abraham, bingo-bongo, let's

31:29.950 --> 31:30.850
get along world peace.

31:33.190 --> 31:35.050
And or the church is conflating

31:35.050 --> 31:37.910
and mischaracterizing

31:37.910 --> 31:39.650
the Abrahamic covenant with the

31:39.650 --> 31:41.730
Mosaic covenant. Here's why. First of all,

31:41.850 --> 31:43.990
there's two things that we must understand about the Abrahamic

31:43.990 --> 31:45.970
covenant. Number one, it was

31:45.970 --> 31:47.690
unilateral. Meaning,

31:48.030 --> 31:49.870
God said to Abraham, I'm going to make a

31:49.870 --> 31:51.830
covenant with you, and then he tells him

31:51.830 --> 31:53.890
to prepare for the covenant. Remember to take the animals, cut

31:53.890 --> 31:55.810
them in half, prepare them by his side. Then

31:55.810 --> 31:57.430
as Abraham is about to walk through

31:57.430 --> 31:59.870
the animals for the sacrifice, what does God

31:59.870 --> 32:00.830
do to Abraham? Abraham

32:02.710 --> 32:03.830
puts him to sleep.

32:04.310 --> 32:05.190
Who walks through?

32:06.290 --> 32:07.370
The Lord does.

32:08.010 --> 32:09.750
He himself walks through

32:09.750 --> 32:11.950
and says, I will fulfill this covenant.

32:12.250 --> 32:13.190
So that's a unilateral

32:13.770 --> 32:15.730
one-way covenant. Unlike

32:15.730 --> 32:17.610
the Mosaic covenant, that is

32:17.610 --> 32:19.930
bilateral. Meaning that

32:19.930 --> 32:21.130
it was a two-way agreement.

32:22.790 --> 32:23.910
God promises

32:23.910 --> 32:25.350
they promise to keep it

32:26.050 --> 32:27.610
unless they break it.

32:28.370 --> 32:29.830
If you break it, there's

32:29.830 --> 32:31.430
about 300 judgments.

32:32.210 --> 32:33.750
If you keep it, there's about

32:33.750 --> 32:34.650
300 blessings.

32:35.370 --> 32:37.190
We don't see any of that

32:37.510 --> 32:39.730
spoken of when the covenant was

32:39.730 --> 32:40.850
made with Abraham.

32:41.490 --> 32:43.770
None. Which leads to the second

32:43.770 --> 32:45.750
point, which is there's no condition

32:45.750 --> 32:47.810
put on it. And if there's no condition

32:47.810 --> 32:49.330
put on the covenant, it's an

32:49.330 --> 32:51.830
unconditional covenant, meaning it can't be broken.

32:52.110 --> 32:53.850
Let me say that one more time. It can't

32:53.850 --> 32:54.230
be broken.

32:56.270 --> 32:57.130
For God

32:57.130 --> 32:59.510
to enforce the breaking of the

32:59.510 --> 33:01.710
covenant, he has to have put into place

33:01.710 --> 33:03.870
conditions. Because listen, if I

33:03.870 --> 33:05.590
tell you, you need to follow

33:05.590 --> 33:05.990
this

33:07.970 --> 33:09.810
agreement, but I don't tell you

33:09.810 --> 33:11.690
what the agreement is and

33:11.690 --> 33:13.770
what the rules are, then how do

33:13.770 --> 33:14.970
you know if you're following it?

33:18.330 --> 33:19.230
And by the way, who

33:19.230 --> 33:20.930
remembers the sign of the

33:20.930 --> 33:21.990
Abrahamic covenant?

33:23.910 --> 33:25.310
For example, the sign

33:25.310 --> 33:26.930
of the noatic covenant was what?

33:27.210 --> 33:29.050
The rainbow? Well, the sign

33:29.050 --> 33:30.470
of the Abrahamic covenant was the

33:30.470 --> 33:31.070
circumcision.

33:35.950 --> 33:36.950
Ultimately,

33:37.290 --> 33:39.050
God circumcised

33:39.050 --> 33:41.570
himself. He cut himself.

33:42.430 --> 33:43.190
Because

33:43.190 --> 33:45.490
when that covenant is

33:45.490 --> 33:47.890
moved forward, it includes

33:47.890 --> 33:49.330
Abraham's son.

33:50.790 --> 33:51.930
And everything that

33:51.930 --> 33:53.450
Abraham's son went through

33:53.450 --> 33:55.610
and Abraham went through

33:55.610 --> 33:56.590
in Genesis 22,

33:57.470 --> 33:59.170
we know Christ

33:59.170 --> 34:00.090
fulfilled.

34:01.450 --> 34:02.470
All of that

34:02.470 --> 34:04.070
that happened was the type

34:04.070 --> 34:05.950
and shadow of the one who would

34:05.950 --> 34:07.810
come, who would be cut for

34:07.810 --> 34:10.030
us, for our inequities.

34:10.190 --> 34:10.950
Now, let's move on.

34:12.030 --> 34:13.650
There's three pieces of this

34:13.650 --> 34:15.730
covenant. And by the way,

34:15.910 --> 34:17.710
I forgot to mention, we do have a

34:17.710 --> 34:19.490
DVD of this presentation on the table

34:19.490 --> 34:21.610
that is much longer than what I'm able

34:21.610 --> 34:23.030
to share this morning. So if I'm going

34:23.030 --> 34:25.170
a little fast on some of this, know

34:25.170 --> 34:26.410
there's more information out there, but

34:26.410 --> 34:27.890
there's three pieces of the covenant

34:28.290 --> 34:30.090
that were specifically given to Abraham.

34:30.750 --> 34:32.390
One, Abraham, I'm going to make you

34:32.390 --> 34:33.990
a great nation. Two,

34:34.930 --> 34:36.330
from you is going to come a

34:36.330 --> 34:38.350
seed. And this promised seed is going

34:38.350 --> 34:39.890
to be the blessing to all the nations.

34:40.210 --> 34:42.090
And three, I'm going to give you

34:42.090 --> 34:44.210
specific land. And that land

34:44.210 --> 34:45.530
is going to have borders and boundaries.

34:45.990 --> 34:47.830
And then, here's the key word.

34:48.830 --> 34:50.070
The Lord says to him,

34:50.230 --> 34:51.530
Adonai says to Abraham,

34:52.130 --> 34:54.550
this covenant is ever lasting.

34:56.030 --> 34:56.630
Now

34:56.630 --> 34:58.510
it shouldn't be a confusing word.

34:59.130 --> 35:00.510
But here it is in Genesis

35:00.510 --> 35:02.130
17. We can read it together.

35:02.750 --> 35:04.330
Because the Lord says to Abraham,

35:04.490 --> 35:06.410
I will establish my covenant

35:06.410 --> 35:08.050
between me and you, right?

35:09.230 --> 35:10.610
Okay? Between me

35:10.610 --> 35:12.770
and you. So there is

35:12.770 --> 35:14.630
the unilateral part, right?

35:15.730 --> 35:16.430
And your

35:16.430 --> 35:18.610
descendants. Now there is the key question.

35:20.230 --> 35:22.150
Is God talking about

35:22.750 --> 35:23.350
just

35:24.630 --> 35:25.830
biological descendants

35:27.090 --> 35:28.330
or is He talking

35:28.330 --> 35:30.150
about covenantal

35:30.150 --> 35:30.670
descendants?

35:31.870 --> 35:34.190
By the way, the Apostle Paul answers that question

35:34.190 --> 35:34.890
in the New Testament.

35:36.010 --> 35:37.390
When he lays

35:38.150 --> 35:39.710
out the argument of

35:39.710 --> 35:42.150
there is a Son of promise that was

35:42.150 --> 35:44.290
given and there's a Son of the

35:44.290 --> 35:44.610
flesh.

35:45.550 --> 35:47.490
And I joked about this the other night.

35:47.990 --> 35:50.010
I said, if Abraham

35:50.010 --> 35:52.150
had simply... and this is the worst thing I could say

35:52.150 --> 35:53.370
on Mother's Day, Pastor Verne.

35:53.650 --> 35:56.030
The worst thing I could say on Mother's Day. So forgive me

35:56.030 --> 35:56.970
for saying this.

35:57.530 --> 35:59.930
Because we want to honor our wives.

36:00.050 --> 36:01.590
We want to honor the moms.

36:01.930 --> 36:03.650
But in the story of Abraham

36:03.650 --> 36:06.030
he should have not listened to his wife.

36:06.770 --> 36:07.170
Right?

36:08.030 --> 36:09.330
Ladies, are you with me or no?

36:09.730 --> 36:11.630
So listen, ladies, there are

36:11.630 --> 36:13.390
sometimes that as husbands

36:13.390 --> 36:15.070
we are convicted by the Lord

36:15.070 --> 36:16.970
and you may try to influence us,

36:16.970 --> 36:19.110
but we got to do what God is calling us to do.

36:19.490 --> 36:20.990
And if we say no, know that

36:20.990 --> 36:21.670
we love you.

36:23.390 --> 36:24.410
We love you.

36:24.710 --> 36:26.490
We bless you. We honor you.

36:26.630 --> 36:28.390
But there's sometimes we got to say no.

36:28.710 --> 36:30.510
And Abraham should have said no.

36:31.350 --> 36:33.050
I'm not falling for that, Sarah.

36:33.430 --> 36:35.170
I'm not going to go down that road, Sarah.

36:35.470 --> 36:36.890
I don't care how much you convince me

36:36.890 --> 36:38.130
and tell me it's okay, Sarah.

36:39.690 --> 36:41.010
When the wives say it's okay.

36:41.770 --> 36:42.790
You have my blessing.

36:42.970 --> 36:44.210
No, no, no, I don't want your blessing.

36:44.210 --> 36:45.590
I want the Lord's blessing.

36:45.850 --> 36:47.790
And don't put me in a bad situation.

36:50.690 --> 36:52.450
So the Lord says to him,

36:52.730 --> 36:54.370
right, that with your

36:54.370 --> 36:56.130
descendants, we're talking about

36:56.130 --> 36:57.590
covenantal descendants,

36:58.050 --> 36:59.910
and then says this,

37:00.430 --> 37:01.970
after you and their generation,

37:02.210 --> 37:03.550
for a olam.

37:03.770 --> 37:05.830
There's the word in the Hebrew, everlasting.

37:06.650 --> 37:07.870
Olam means eternity.

37:10.010 --> 37:11.270
Can we break it down?

37:11.890 --> 37:12.450
Forever.

37:13.770 --> 37:14.870
What is forever?

37:15.630 --> 37:16.130
Forever.

37:16.990 --> 37:19.370
Forever, or never, or never, or never, or never.

37:20.030 --> 37:20.510
And then,

37:20.830 --> 37:21.870
he says,

37:22.890 --> 37:25.330
for an everlasting covenant to be God to you

37:25.330 --> 37:26.930
and your descendants after you.

37:27.850 --> 37:29.090
And then he repeats it

37:29.090 --> 37:30.270
in verse 8.

37:31.230 --> 37:33.070
And he repeats it in verse 13.

37:33.410 --> 37:35.370
Not once, not twice, but three

37:35.370 --> 37:37.170
times. He uses the term

37:37.170 --> 37:38.150
everlasting.

37:38.150 --> 37:40.790
So we've established

37:40.790 --> 37:42.970
what most of the church is getting wrong.

37:43.430 --> 37:45.090
The covenant was one way.

37:45.290 --> 37:46.970
It was not a two-way agreement.

37:47.310 --> 37:48.950
The covenant was without condition.

37:49.130 --> 37:49.910
It cannot be broken.

37:50.250 --> 37:52.470
And the covenant was forever, and ever,

37:52.750 --> 37:54.090
and ever, and ever, meaning

37:54.090 --> 37:56.630
it has nothing to do with the behavior

37:56.630 --> 37:58.810
of those who the covenant was made

37:58.810 --> 38:00.390
with. It has everything to do

38:00.390 --> 38:01.610
with the character of God.

38:04.800 --> 38:06.160
And the character of God

38:06.160 --> 38:07.160
is he is faithful.

38:09.620 --> 38:10.720
Now, we know

38:12.960 --> 38:13.480
that

38:14.180 --> 38:15.880
there is fulfillment

38:17.060 --> 38:17.580
because

38:18.740 --> 38:20.080
Israel became a nation.

38:20.540 --> 38:20.680
Right?

38:22.060 --> 38:23.500
So under King Saul,

38:24.100 --> 38:25.000
they wanted a king.

38:25.980 --> 38:26.500
God

38:27.400 --> 38:28.900
gives them a king, which of course

38:28.900 --> 38:29.980
was not what they needed.

38:31.100 --> 38:33.220
But they became a nation that in last

38:33.220 --> 38:34.880
very long, they rebelled.

38:35.720 --> 38:37.080
Saul was supposed to get rid of the

38:37.080 --> 38:39.240
Melchites. He didn't. He didn't

38:39.240 --> 38:41.100
clean house. And you know

38:41.100 --> 38:41.760
the rest of the story.

38:42.700 --> 38:44.140
Eventually, the United Kingdom

38:44.140 --> 38:46.780
fell, became divided, and then

38:46.780 --> 38:48.740
eventually, both kingdoms were

38:48.740 --> 38:50.360
conquered and went into captivity.

38:51.180 --> 38:51.860
And here's the key.

38:52.720 --> 38:54.580
From 586 BC,

38:55.560 --> 38:56.680
when Jerusalem fell

38:56.680 --> 38:58.820
to the Babylonians,

39:00.020 --> 39:00.620
Israel

39:01.740 --> 39:02.340
ceased

39:03.080 --> 39:04.040
in being a nation.

39:05.600 --> 39:06.840
They were not a nation.

39:07.800 --> 39:08.620
That's number one.

39:09.360 --> 39:09.780
Number two.

39:10.260 --> 39:12.180
What about the seed...

39:12.180 --> 39:13.840
Oh, by the way, before I go further.

39:14.760 --> 39:16.820
Even though there was the promise

39:16.820 --> 39:18.760
of becoming a nation, and they became

39:18.760 --> 39:20.480
a nation, but you're going to see

39:20.480 --> 39:22.320
in Scripture today that there was also

39:22.320 --> 39:23.900
a promise that they were going to fail

39:23.900 --> 39:26.040
at becoming a nation. Not a promise, but God

39:27.900 --> 39:28.460
directs them

39:28.460 --> 39:29.960
and speaks to them that though

39:29.960 --> 39:32.400
you failed, there is a unique promise

39:32.400 --> 39:34.240
that you will again be a nation.

39:35.400 --> 39:36.660
So, there was a part one

39:36.660 --> 39:38.480
and a part two. Not because

39:38.480 --> 39:40.420
the Lord willed it, but because of

39:40.420 --> 39:42.440
the rebellion, but because God is keeping

39:42.440 --> 39:44.240
His promise. You hear what I'm saying?

39:45.480 --> 39:46.560
And we'll look at that.

39:46.740 --> 39:48.440
Number two. What about the seed

39:48.440 --> 39:50.480
blessing? Well, we know the

39:50.480 --> 39:51.580
seed blessing was fulfilled.

39:52.400 --> 39:54.360
This is the same seed that goes

39:54.360 --> 39:56.100
all the way back to Genesis chapter 3

39:56.100 --> 39:57.600
at the fall of man,

39:58.760 --> 40:00.260
that the enmity between

40:00.260 --> 40:02.520
Satan and the woman, his seed,

40:02.740 --> 40:03.880
her seed, and his

40:03.880 --> 40:06.200
her seed was going to cross Satan's head

40:06.200 --> 40:08.340
and his seed was going to bruise his heel.

40:08.580 --> 40:10.200
We know that's talking about the Messiah

40:10.200 --> 40:12.180
and we know that the Messiah

40:12.180 --> 40:14.340
has come through the promise

40:14.340 --> 40:16.160
and what was the promise that the

40:16.160 --> 40:18.420
seed of Abraham would be

40:18.420 --> 40:19.500
Isaac

40:22.020 --> 40:24.160
and the Lord tells Abraham

40:24.160 --> 40:25.780
to call him Isaac

40:25.780 --> 40:28.300
so the Lord names Isaac

40:29.280 --> 40:30.040
and then

40:30.040 --> 40:31.960
brings forth the Messiah, correct?

40:32.300 --> 40:34.380
So let's establish this. The seed

40:34.380 --> 40:36.040
of Messiah has

40:36.040 --> 40:38.520
to come in order to fulfill God's

40:38.520 --> 40:40.160
word through the lineage of

40:40.160 --> 40:42.280
Abraham, Isaac, and that

40:42.280 --> 40:44.260
descendancy. And the book of Matthew chapter

40:44.260 --> 40:46.100
1 spells that out all for us.

40:46.280 --> 40:48.300
If you get bored reading, don't get bored.

40:48.400 --> 40:49.560
It's interesting, because I know

40:49.560 --> 40:51.740
chapter 1 begets, begets, begets,

40:51.880 --> 40:53.660
begets, begets, begets. It kind of

40:53.660 --> 40:55.380
be like boring, like I don't want... Listen,

40:55.380 --> 40:57.840
that's the resume of the Messiah, right?

40:58.220 --> 40:59.540
That's his resume.

40:59.760 --> 41:01.240
That's a legal document

41:01.240 --> 41:03.080
saying that this lineage

41:03.080 --> 41:05.460
is legally fulfilling God's word

41:05.460 --> 41:07.120
all the way back to

41:07.120 --> 41:09.180
Isaac and Abraham.

41:10.040 --> 41:11.540
Now, why do I mention that?

41:11.840 --> 41:13.120
Because you'll see in a little bit

41:13.120 --> 41:14.640
the whole disagreement

41:15.150 --> 41:16.900
with the Muslims is between

41:16.900 --> 41:18.700
Isaac and Ishmael.

41:19.700 --> 41:21.740
Now, what about the promise land?

41:22.040 --> 41:23.200
The promise of land.

41:23.720 --> 41:25.400
Lots of people say, well, you know,

41:25.680 --> 41:26.560
that was fulfilled

41:26.560 --> 41:29.140
at the time when Joshua

41:29.140 --> 41:30.780
took them into the promise land

41:31.820 --> 41:33.040
because, remember, God

41:33.040 --> 41:34.960
had called Abraham from Oror

41:34.960 --> 41:37.060
of the Chaldeans. That's modern day

41:37.060 --> 41:37.640
Iraq

41:38.980 --> 41:40.600
all the way to the land of Canaan.

41:40.880 --> 41:42.240
He said, I'm going to give you this land.

41:44.600 --> 41:44.960
So

41:44.960 --> 41:47.260
people say, well, you know, Joshua went in,

41:47.500 --> 41:48.840
Moses was supposed to go in, right?

41:49.140 --> 41:50.760
But then the people, you know, the giants

41:51.580 --> 41:52.640
and they didn't go in.

41:53.040 --> 41:54.860
So now, Joshua goes in

41:54.860 --> 41:56.520
and they say, well, that was fulfilled

41:56.520 --> 41:57.460
during the time of Joshua.

41:58.660 --> 42:00.140
So let's look at the boundary.

42:01.440 --> 42:02.680
And let's see if that boundary

42:02.680 --> 42:04.620
could have been fulfilled. Because the Lord says

42:04.620 --> 42:06.660
in Genesis 15, on that day, the Lord made

42:06.660 --> 42:07.400
a covenant with Abraham.

42:08.380 --> 42:10.300
You know how it says, the Lord made a covenant?

42:10.520 --> 42:12.620
Again and again, the Lord made a covenant. That's one way.

42:12.740 --> 42:13.420
The Lord made a covenant.

42:14.440 --> 42:16.900
To your descendants, I have given this land.

42:17.660 --> 42:18.320
What? Say that again?

42:18.320 --> 42:20.240
To your descendants, again,

42:20.680 --> 42:22.400
not biological, covenantal.

42:22.540 --> 42:23.640
I have given this land.

42:23.960 --> 42:25.700
The Lord says, I've given you this land.

42:26.340 --> 42:28.300
Whose land is it to give? The Lord's.

42:28.720 --> 42:29.740
Who do they give it to?

42:30.220 --> 42:32.000
The covenantal descendants of

42:32.000 --> 42:32.940
Abraham.

42:33.920 --> 42:34.940
And then gives the boundaries.

42:35.920 --> 42:37.960
From the great

42:37.960 --> 42:39.380
river of Egypt,

42:41.000 --> 42:41.260
that's

42:42.480 --> 42:44.460
Egypt, we'll see in a minute,

42:45.160 --> 42:46.620
to the great river Euphrates.

42:47.420 --> 42:48.980
Now, just so if you don't know

42:48.980 --> 42:50.160
the geography, here's a map.

42:51.000 --> 42:52.140
Okay, so you can see the geography.

42:52.660 --> 42:54.220
So you see there all the way on the right,

42:54.600 --> 42:56.680
I was born in Iran, right up

42:56.680 --> 42:58.360
by the Caspian Sea. If you go by, see that

42:58.360 --> 43:00.540
where the Caspian Sea is? I was born right up

43:00.540 --> 43:02.620
on the Caspian Sea. Used to be a beautiful

43:02.620 --> 43:04.640
place before this disgusting regime

43:04.640 --> 43:05.480
destroyed it.

43:06.980 --> 43:08.360
Islam has gone in

43:08.360 --> 43:10.320
into Iran and destroyed almost

43:10.320 --> 43:12.140
every Persian artifact

43:12.760 --> 43:14.600
history. They've tried to wipe Persia

43:14.600 --> 43:16.760
away from Iran.

43:17.200 --> 43:18.940
Because why? These Ayatollahs

43:18.940 --> 43:20.780
in Iran are not Persian, they're Arabs.

43:21.600 --> 43:22.840
They took over

43:22.840 --> 43:24.200
Iran, they're Arabs.

43:25.240 --> 43:26.600
They're not even Persian.

43:30.480 --> 43:30.800
You see

43:30.800 --> 43:32.860
Euphrates goes all the way up

43:32.860 --> 43:33.280
to Turkey.

43:34.480 --> 43:36.960
And then you see the Nile

43:37.600 --> 43:38.680
all the way

43:38.680 --> 43:39.140
over in Egypt.

43:40.320 --> 43:42.320
So that's a lot of land.

43:43.560 --> 43:44.140
And

43:44.140 --> 43:46.120
if you want to in comparison look at the

43:46.120 --> 43:47.920
promised land when they were in Joshua

43:48.680 --> 43:50.040
you're talking about

43:50.040 --> 43:52.140
barely going

43:52.140 --> 43:53.040
northeast

43:53.980 --> 43:55.640
south of where

43:55.640 --> 43:58.120
Israel is today. This is talking

43:58.120 --> 43:59.400
about, look at that, that's

43:59.400 --> 44:01.380
northern Saudi Arabia

44:02.660 --> 44:03.840
most of Syria

44:03.840 --> 44:04.980
half of Iraq

44:05.860 --> 44:07.820
two-thirds of Turkey, part of Egypt

44:07.820 --> 44:10.060
all of Lebanon, all of Jordan

44:10.060 --> 44:11.000
and

44:11.000 --> 44:11.880
Gaza

44:11.880 --> 44:14.840
and the West Bank, so called

44:14.840 --> 44:16.420
West Bank which is Judea and Samaria

44:16.780 --> 44:17.400
all of it.

44:18.120 --> 44:19.960
Now, did the Lord give land

44:19.960 --> 44:21.940
to descendants of Ishmael?

44:22.180 --> 44:22.540
Of course.

44:23.980 --> 44:25.720
Deuteronomy 30 tells you

44:25.720 --> 44:27.060
to the east he gave them land.

44:27.940 --> 44:30.020
But the covenantal land is with

44:30.020 --> 44:32.640
somebody who wants to tell me

44:32.640 --> 44:34.240
that these things have been fulfilled

44:34.240 --> 44:36.100
in the past and God has done

44:36.100 --> 44:37.580
please tell me when

44:37.580 --> 44:39.600
Israel has ever come even

44:39.600 --> 44:41.740
close to occupying that land

44:41.740 --> 44:43.460
and the answer is never

44:43.460 --> 44:45.180
not even close.

44:45.400 --> 44:47.460
So this is a future promise

44:48.040 --> 44:49.800
this is yet to be fulfilled

44:49.800 --> 44:51.560
now the argument will be well the reason

44:51.560 --> 44:52.840
they didn't get the land is because they

44:53.580 --> 44:55.600
broke the covenant can't

44:55.600 --> 44:56.020
break it.

44:57.320 --> 44:59.080
You see how why that's so important?

44:59.680 --> 45:01.440
You can't make that argument

45:01.440 --> 45:03.200
because there's no condition on the covenant.

45:05.480 --> 45:07.780
You can't you can't it's impossible

45:07.780 --> 45:09.140
unless you make God a liar

45:10.100 --> 45:10.940
so again

45:10.940 --> 45:12.860
I go back to the question.

45:13.000 --> 45:15.420
Why do you believe that we could

45:15.420 --> 45:17.560
potentially be in the last days

45:17.560 --> 45:19.540
and this is the last generation potentially

45:19.540 --> 45:21.360
but I love what Pastor Verne said

45:21.360 --> 45:23.020
we have to live as if

45:23.620 --> 45:25.360
we're gonna live up until

45:25.360 --> 45:26.400
the Lord calls us

45:27.020 --> 45:28.440
to the very second

45:28.440 --> 45:30.140
you should be living for him

45:30.140 --> 45:31.980
and fulfilling what he's called you to do

45:31.980 --> 45:34.400
there should be no escapism in the church

45:36.400 --> 45:37.800
if the rapture just happens

45:37.800 --> 45:39.240
we're gonna be out of here

45:40.000 --> 45:41.660
when the rapture happens

45:41.660 --> 45:43.680
we'll all be rejoicing hallelujah praise God

45:44.880 --> 45:45.920
until that moment

45:45.920 --> 45:47.140
we better be fighting

45:49.620 --> 45:51.620
but what is the sign

45:52.480 --> 45:54.000
it is the rebirth of Israel

45:55.020 --> 45:56.380
my friend Dr. Andy Woods

45:56.380 --> 45:58.220
calls it not a sign he calls it a super

45:58.220 --> 45:58.560
sign

46:00.620 --> 46:01.740
super sign

46:01.740 --> 46:04.260
because here's a crazy part

46:04.260 --> 46:05.740
remember I said again

46:06.400 --> 46:07.580
they were a nation

46:08.160 --> 46:09.860
they ceased becoming a nation

46:09.860 --> 46:11.820
because of rebellion no doubt

46:11.820 --> 46:13.980
but then the Lord is not done

46:13.980 --> 46:16.280
here in the book of Amos

46:16.280 --> 46:17.680
that is a contemporary to Jeremiah

46:18.220 --> 46:19.680
now remember they're in captivity

46:20.380 --> 46:21.960
right so this is being

46:21.960 --> 46:23.840
written at a time when they're going into

46:23.840 --> 46:25.440
they're already in captivity

46:25.440 --> 46:34.280
Israel has already fallen, 722 BC. Judah is hanging on for a little bit, about 140 something years, if I do my math right.

46:36.380 --> 46:44.860
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.

46:46.460 --> 46:52.320
Until the very last chapter. It's like the Lord is throwing them just, you know, that lifeline.

46:53.540 --> 47:01.780
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?

47:02.220 --> 47:11.860
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.

47:12.400 --> 47:15.660
They don't have to convert everybody. They just have to subjugate you.

47:17.420 --> 47:23.760
So that you will never question it. And you will quietly live under it, under their control.

47:26.600 --> 47:29.780
So here is what the prophet says, by the Holy Spirit.

47:30.000 --> 47:33.140
I will bring back my eggs out. People in Israel, they will build the ruins, cities, and live in them.

47:33.440 --> 47:37.000
They will plant vineyards and drink their wine. They will make gardens and eat their fruit.

47:37.100 --> 47:42.640
Now, if you stop there, someone can say, well, Shalom, isn't that what happened when they came out of captivity?

47:42.640 --> 47:49.420
The 70-year captivity. And then, again, thanks to the Persians, the Persians helped them rebuild the city walls.

47:49.700 --> 47:56.260
The Persians helped them rebuild the temple. And they had some autonomy under Persian rule.

47:57.540 --> 47:59.860
Yes, but let's read the rest of it. Is that okay?

48:01.620 --> 48:08.880
Because look what it says, I will plant Israel in their what? Own land. Did that happen when they came out of captivity?

48:09.440 --> 48:20.900
No. And even if you look at, according to the Maccabees, which is not in the Bible, and the Hasmonean period,

48:21.680 --> 48:29.620
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.

48:30.620 --> 48:33.820
Because that didn't last either. Because look what it says.

48:34.360 --> 48:41.380
I have planted Israel in their own land. That means possession. What does that word in the red? Never again.

48:41.520 --> 48:46.000
What does never again mean? Kind of like everlasting? Never again. To be what? Uprooted.

48:46.720 --> 48:52.900
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.

48:53.380 --> 48:58.740
That certainly did not happen during the Hasmonean period because we know they were then occupied by the Romans.

48:59.520 --> 49:06.960
Until the time of Christ. So from the time that Jerusalem fell, they went into captivity, they came out of captivity.

49:07.300 --> 49:13.200
To the time of Christ, they never occupied, owned, took possession of the land, and they were uprooted.

49:13.960 --> 49:27.940
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.

49:32.420 --> 49:40.560
Until 1948. So two and a half thousand years. So please explain to me when this has been fulfilled.

49:41.280 --> 49:48.440
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.

49:48.440 --> 49:56.060
I mean, you know, maybe God was mistaken because it's desolate.

49:58.520 --> 50:09.080
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.

50:09.740 --> 50:15.920
Because Ezekiel 36 tells you why God brought them back, why God's going to bring them back.

50:15.920 --> 50:22.400
And the promise of, again, their own land says the same language into your own land.

50:23.040 --> 50:30.340
The reason is because, and it has nothing to do with their obedience, or the fact that, oh my goodness, they killed Christ.

50:31.340 --> 50:35.980
You've heard that argument, right? Well, the Jews, God judged them because they killed Christ.

50:36.600 --> 50:42.960
Well, with all due respect, we killed Christ. Our sin put Christ on the cross.

50:42.960 --> 50:48.400
Yes, God used the Romans. God used the religious leaders and the Jews to stir things up.

50:48.860 --> 50:55.600
But our sin is what put Christ on the cross. For he had to come and suffer for the sins of the world.

50:55.740 --> 50:59.020
Not just the Jews. He came first for the house of Israel, then for the Gentiles.

50:59.260 --> 51:07.340
But he came to do what? Redeem us from the punishment of sin. The death of sin.

51:07.940 --> 51:12.140
The separation from God. Thank you, Lord. Praise God. Thank you, Lord, that you did that.

51:12.140 --> 51:19.580
Thank you, Lord, that you came for us. But Ezekiel 36 tells you. In fact, the Lord says in very, very plain words.

51:20.880 --> 51:29.860
He says, Israel was a nation. They went into the nations. And they profaned my name.

51:30.620 --> 51:35.540
And he doesn't say it once. He doesn't say it twice. He doesn't say it. He says it five times.

51:35.760 --> 51:39.280
I mean, can you imagine if you're reading that? You're like, Lord, we get it. We get it. We're bad.

51:39.280 --> 51:44.180
We really messed up. We really get it. Five times. He says they profaned my name.

51:44.320 --> 51:48.720
But then the question is answered. Why are you going to bring them back into their land?

51:49.080 --> 51:53.820
He says, because of my holy name. Do you understand what I'm saying?

51:55.080 --> 52:02.560
God is keeping the covenant and the promise simply because of his glory, simply because of his name.

52:02.780 --> 52:06.320
It has nothing to do with, I hear the argument. Well, the Jews today in Israel, they're so secular.

52:06.320 --> 52:17.520
Hello, can we talk in America? What are we? We're not secular? We've aborted 68 million children.

52:18.220 --> 52:22.280
We're importing sexual immorality and transgenderism to the world.

52:24.880 --> 52:32.520
So, brothers and sisters, if you look at that passage in Zegel 36 and then 37,

52:33.900 --> 52:38.820
because the dry bones in Ezekiel 37 isn't talking about you and I.

52:39.460 --> 52:42.680
You can spiritualize that and allegorize that all you want.

52:42.820 --> 52:48.420
But in context, the dry bones, it tells you in the verse, it's Israel. It tells you.

52:48.860 --> 52:53.180
They're dead bones. What happened after AD 70? They were scattered.

52:53.580 --> 52:55.760
Then what's going to happen? All of a sudden you see the bones.

52:55.940 --> 52:58.380
Oh my goodness, they're moving and they're coming together.

52:58.380 --> 53:02.100
And there's a tendon, and there's a ligament, and there's a muscle.

53:03.720 --> 53:08.340
And it tells you there's going to be a rebirth. That was the prophecy of Ezekiel.

53:09.900 --> 53:13.880
And then it tells you God's going to put the Spirit, His breath in them.

53:14.380 --> 53:17.380
So there's two parts in my opinion. Now, let's move on.

53:18.880 --> 53:22.220
So we get the covenant wrong. That's the first issue. Here's the second issue.

53:23.120 --> 53:26.120
We have problems theologically, and the number one problem.

53:26.120 --> 53:30.780
And again, you may ask, why did you name this presentation Israel is not replaced?

53:31.100 --> 53:40.100
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?

53:41.260 --> 53:45.680
The government. Why are you here saying Israel is not replaced?

53:45.840 --> 53:53.240
Because the number one theological deception on this topic in the church is called replacement theology.

53:53.880 --> 53:56.260
And what is it simply in layman's terms?

53:56.840 --> 54:05.440
Well, in the New Testament, when the Bible mentions Israel, it doesn't really mean Israel.

54:08.220 --> 54:11.960
So apparently there is a code that I didn't get.

54:12.700 --> 54:16.360
Now I went to Bible college. I've studied the Word of God.

54:16.880 --> 54:22.040
All my 26 years of being a Christian, but apparently there was some sort of a cheat sheet or code or something.

54:22.040 --> 54:24.520
I didn't get it. Did you get it? I didn't get it.

54:26.720 --> 54:32.820
Because replacement will say that there is no longer a plan. Jews are no longer chosen.

54:33.220 --> 54:39.200
There's no longer any plan that Yahweh has no more prophetic fulfillment.

54:39.560 --> 54:43.260
I've just shown you things that have not yet been fulfilled, but he said no more.

54:43.820 --> 54:50.320
The promises are all either broken or there's another thinking that is called...

54:50.320 --> 54:54.500
And a lot of times when people are in the replacement camp, they don't want to be called replacement.

54:55.180 --> 55:01.880
So let's say things like we're covenantal theology or we're fulfillment theology. It is the same thing.

55:02.720 --> 55:08.200
You're saying either the church has replaced Israel or the church has fulfilled all of Israel's promises.

55:08.500 --> 55:10.900
So every promise that was to Israel is now for the church.

55:11.180 --> 55:15.300
Now if that's true and there's a land covenant, I want it. How about you?

55:15.300 --> 55:20.120
Pastor, you and I need to go to Saudi tomorrow and we're going to fly to Saudi Arabia tomorrow.

55:20.380 --> 55:28.940
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.

55:30.380 --> 55:37.240
Do you see my thinking or am I crazy? Because if the church has replaced it, then we own it.

55:37.500 --> 55:41.140
Then it's supposed to be ours. Who's going to come with me to Saudi?

55:43.500 --> 55:47.660
Oh, one person. Thank you, brother. God bless you.

55:49.500 --> 55:54.160
Because it probably won't go very well, right? I don't think the Saudis are going to go along with it.

55:54.160 --> 55:55.920
I don't think the Turks are going to go along with it.

56:00.080 --> 56:07.600
And listen, this is despite the fact that Israel is mentioned at least 70 times in the New Testament.

56:08.440 --> 56:15.840
And we'll look at that. Now, I don't blame the early church, Justin Marder.

56:16.700 --> 56:22.060
They started this teaching back in AD 160. You can trace it back to the second century.

56:22.320 --> 56:26.440
It's been around for a long time. So I don't blame them because here's the reality.

56:26.920 --> 56:32.400
They're reading these scriptures, right? And remember, the early church didn't have the New Testament yet, right?

56:32.400 --> 56:37.220
So they're reading the Old Testament. They're reading these prophecies, and they're going...

56:37.220 --> 56:44.140
The reality is, where is Israel? The temple was destroyed. The city was destroyed and burned. It's sacked.

56:46.040 --> 56:52.760
They're scattered. So maybe those are for us?

56:55.400 --> 56:57.160
And here's the other question.

56:58.600 --> 57:04.780
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

57:04.780 --> 57:13.400
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.

57:14.380 --> 57:15.940
Kind of like what the Catholic Church did, right?

57:18.480 --> 57:22.960
Chosen People Ministries did a study back in 2018. I'm trying to find more recent studies.

57:22.960 --> 57:33.760
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.

57:34.980 --> 57:39.560
And look at the demographics. When you go younger, it's almost 70%.

57:40.700 --> 57:46.160
So if we stand with Israel, we are now in the minority. That's the reality.

57:47.220 --> 57:59.840
No wonder we are seeing the most unbelievable, unprecedented global anti-Semitism since October 7, 2023.

58:01.020 --> 58:06.380
Never seen anything like it before. And it is far worse what is happening right now than what happened in Nazi Germany.

58:07.060 --> 58:11.400
Far worse, I'm telling you, because this is global. That was never global.

58:13.760 --> 58:21.620
And when you are wrong on Israel, and when you are buying this deception, and when our seminaries are pumping out,

58:23.180 --> 58:36.080
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.

58:36.460 --> 58:40.940
You know what most of our seminaries call that? They call it the Palestinian Land Covenant.

58:41.740 --> 58:49.780
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.

58:50.080 --> 58:56.040
Gaza belongs to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Lord mentions it by name.

58:57.940 --> 59:03.840
And you'll see in a minute that there is no such thing as Palestine.

59:04.840 --> 59:12.160
That's going to make somebody mad, because this was a trap of the enemy.

59:14.400 --> 59:19.420
When you get it wrong, you get it wrong on almost everything.

59:22.480 --> 59:28.540
The myth of Palestine, why would I say that? Well, first of all, where did this term Palestine come from?

59:28.540 --> 59:36.160
It goes all the way back to the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Not Hadrian, that's me. Hadrian.

59:38.060 --> 59:48.280
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,

59:49.140 --> 59:58.800
this Emperor calls them by the name of their enemies, the Philistines, and he changes the name of the land.

59:59.560 --> 01:00:06.840
Donald Trump, please, Mr. President, don't change the Persian Gulf to Arabia.

01:00:07.600 --> 01:00:12.560
He changes the name of the land to what? Philistia.

01:00:15.160 --> 01:00:21.420
It's an insult. It's a curse. That's the origination.

01:00:22.600 --> 01:00:34.480
And then for all of these 2000 years, all of a sudden the maps changed, and the roots changed,

01:00:34.780 --> 01:00:38.260
and the tracing of the land, because the Jews were scattered, right?

01:00:38.260 --> 01:00:44.900
So they're scattered, and the Arabs come and live there, and there were some Arabs there, but more Arabs come to the land.

01:00:45.100 --> 01:00:56.160
And then when Islam is born out of the mind of Satan, then Islam claims that according to their so-called prophet Muhammad,

01:00:56.460 --> 01:01:02.500
that he was given a night vision where he was taken from Mecca to Jerusalem and told, this is yours.

01:01:02.500 --> 01:01:10.280
And they conquered it, and they built that gray domed mosque, the al-Aqsa mosque in 691.

01:01:10.680 --> 01:01:15.740
Then they took over the Byzantine structure and turned it into what's called the dome of the rock, that golden dome.

01:01:16.200 --> 01:01:22.560
That was Byzantine. Islam has no claim to Jerusalem. It's not mentioned one time in the Koran.

01:01:24.580 --> 01:01:31.440
But during our lifetime, so to speak, we saw this term come up again, and now it's weaponized.

01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:41.020
In World War II, you had Hajj Al Husayni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in Arab, working with the Nazis,

01:01:42.740 --> 01:01:46.860
and they started coining the term Palestine.

01:01:48.740 --> 01:01:57.000
And they created this notion of Palestinianism, and then they went further and said, look, the land is ours.

01:01:57.000 --> 01:02:03.380
Lots of people argue the final solution wasn't Hitler's idea, it was the Muslim's idea.

01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:10.860
Because Hitler wanted to kick the Jews out of Poland and Germany and send them back to the Middle East,

01:02:11.040 --> 01:02:13.000
and the Muslims said, no way, we don't want them there.

01:02:14.120 --> 01:02:24.020
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.

01:02:24.020 --> 01:02:31.720
He lived in Berlin. And here he is, visiting two divisions of the SS Hansaker that were Muslim.

01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:39.440
One in Bosnia, one in North Africa. They had the crescent moon on their uniforms along with the swastikas.

01:02:39.680 --> 01:02:46.880
And here is Hajj Al Husayni giving the Hitler salute to the Muslim brigades of Hitler.

01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:54.680
And by the way, today, as we speak, the number one selling book among jihadists in Islam is of course the Koran.

01:02:54.940 --> 01:02:58.900
The number two selling book among jihadists in the Islamic world is Mein Kampf.

01:02:59.620 --> 01:03:07.820
And they've translated to Mein Jihad. Same spirit, same demonic spirit, and same hatred.

01:03:08.940 --> 01:03:10.280
Please hear what I'm saying.

01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:17.740
And even if you look at the words of the Arabs themselves, for example, who's heard of the PLO?

01:03:19.400 --> 01:03:25.000
The Palestinian Liberation Organization that formed out of the Muslim Brotherhood.

01:03:25.380 --> 01:03:32.140
The Muslim Brotherhood started, as I said the other night, IAP. IAP formed into Hamas.

01:03:32.740 --> 01:03:37.960
But they also formed, at that time, Students for Justice for Palestine, which is on our university campuses.

01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:45.160
They also formed the PLO. The PLO, of course, the most famous dude is Yasser Arafat, right?

01:03:45.460 --> 01:03:48.840
And you can see right there, their own words. Let me just go this real quick, and then we've got to move on.

01:03:51.950 --> 01:03:55.030
My computer keeps going to sleep. Nobody better go to sleep.

01:03:57.270 --> 01:03:58.870
Here is their words.

01:04:00.610 --> 01:04:05.710
He said, the question of borders doesn't interest us.

01:04:06.090 --> 01:04:09.850
Well, what do we keep hearing every time, right? We need a two-state solution.

01:04:10.190 --> 01:04:16.210
We need to recognize a Palestinian state. That's what the United Nations is trying to do.

01:04:16.550 --> 01:04:20.790
He says, no, no. It doesn't interest us. From the Arab standpoint, we mustn't talk about borders.

01:04:21.310 --> 01:04:23.570
Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean.

01:04:23.950 --> 01:04:28.210
Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond.

01:04:28.910 --> 01:04:32.150
The PLO is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism.

01:04:32.150 --> 01:04:34.890
What you call Jordan is nothing more than Palestine.

01:04:35.310 --> 01:04:39.390
And then here's Ahmad Shikari, who was the founder of the PLO back in 1956,

01:04:40.930 --> 01:04:46.510
who said, at the United Nations, such a creature as Palestine does not exist at all.

01:04:46.750 --> 01:04:48.990
The land is nothing but the southern portion of Greater Syria.

01:04:49.170 --> 01:04:55.170
And they admit that Palestine is simply a tool to garner support for them as they try to destroy Israel.

01:04:56.630 --> 01:05:00.390
So by their own words, they're saying there's no Palestine. So what is it?

01:05:00.390 --> 01:05:04.390
Who are the people that are living there if they're not Palestinian? They're Arabs.

01:05:04.970 --> 01:05:07.630
They're from Egypt. They're from Syria. They're from Jordan.

01:05:08.190 --> 01:05:15.570
And if they're Arabs, and all these... and the world is today so concerned about the plight of the Arabs in Gaza,

01:05:15.850 --> 01:05:17.710
why don't they give them land?

01:05:19.310 --> 01:05:20.670
Isn't there lots of land?

01:05:22.010 --> 01:05:23.790
Lots of rich Muslim nations?

01:05:24.750 --> 01:05:29.590
But they won't give them land because they're using those people as bargaining tools

01:05:29.590 --> 01:05:31.990
and the people in Gaza suffer,

01:05:33.010 --> 01:05:35.910
but they've suffered way more at the hands of Hamas,

01:05:36.390 --> 01:05:41.390
at the hands of the Arab nations who leave them there to die and be used as a pawn

01:05:42.070 --> 01:05:43.910
than they have at the hands of Israel.

01:05:44.650 --> 01:05:46.190
And how do you fight an enemy?

01:05:46.950 --> 01:05:52.470
How do you go to urban warfare when they hide in schools

01:05:52.470 --> 01:05:56.110
and mosques and hospitals and people's homes?

01:05:58.770 --> 01:06:02.330
It is impossible. There's always going to be collateral damage.

01:06:02.950 --> 01:06:06.970
But the question here is, again, you and I can sit here and say,

01:06:07.190 --> 01:06:08.910
I don't like the way Israel is fighting this war.

01:06:09.110 --> 01:06:15.610
By the way, I didn't like the way that Israel agreed to give up 2,000 jihadis for 33 hostages when...

01:06:15.610 --> 01:06:17.050
and this is again, this is on Trump.

01:06:17.770 --> 01:06:22.570
It's on this Witkoff guy that I don't trust, his Middle East envoy,

01:06:24.110 --> 01:06:27.190
who's beholden to the Qataris because here's why.

01:06:27.670 --> 01:06:30.250
They should have said, you want us to give up 2,000 jihadis?

01:06:30.530 --> 01:06:32.130
Every hostage on day one is released.

01:06:34.810 --> 01:06:39.050
Every hostage on day one and we want the bodies and we want everybody that's alive.

01:06:39.950 --> 01:06:44.330
Not two here, three here, four here, two here, three here.

01:06:44.590 --> 01:06:49.110
This is a game and Israel only agreed.

01:06:49.110 --> 01:06:53.850
By the way, the deal that they signed was the same deal Biden had proposed.

01:06:54.630 --> 01:06:57.350
The only reason they agreed is because of Trump.

01:06:59.030 --> 01:07:05.410
And I voted for President Trump, but I disagree on this vehemently

01:07:05.410 --> 01:07:07.630
because there's no appeasing this enemy.

01:07:08.490 --> 01:07:10.670
And again, if you think it was about land,

01:07:11.470 --> 01:07:14.790
I don't know if you're familiar with the Peel Commission or the Partition Plan,

01:07:15.430 --> 01:07:20.070
but many times the globalists and the United Nations

01:07:20.070 --> 01:07:25.890
and the world powers have offered land to the Arabs in the Peel Commission.

01:07:26.010 --> 01:07:29.590
Look at it. The Peel Commission was two-thirds Arab, one-third Israel.

01:07:29.730 --> 01:07:32.530
They said to the Jews, we'll give you land so you can go back to your homeland.

01:07:33.310 --> 01:07:35.650
This is before World War II. This is before the Holocaust.

01:07:36.490 --> 01:07:38.810
Arabs, you get 66%, Jews, you get 33%.

01:07:39.630 --> 01:07:40.770
The Jews said, yes.

01:07:40.770 --> 01:07:42.710
The Arabs said, no, why?

01:07:42.890 --> 01:07:44.790
Because the international community said at that time,

01:07:44.870 --> 01:07:46.330
we keep control of Jerusalem.

01:07:46.890 --> 01:07:48.650
The Arabs said, no, we want Jerusalem.

01:07:50.290 --> 01:07:52.630
47 Partition Plan, 50-50 Split.

01:07:52.830 --> 01:07:54.530
That sounds like a pretty good plan, right? 50-50.

01:07:54.670 --> 01:07:55.790
50 View, 50 Yes.

01:07:56.210 --> 01:07:57.030
Jews said, yes.

01:07:57.330 --> 01:07:58.190
Arabs said, no, why?

01:07:58.410 --> 01:07:59.590
Because they wanted Jerusalem.

01:08:00.630 --> 01:08:02.650
This is all about Jerusalem.

01:08:02.950 --> 01:08:04.690
That's why on October 7th, when they attacked,

01:08:05.050 --> 01:08:06.670
it was called Al-Aqsa Flood.

01:08:08.070 --> 01:08:09.170
What is Al-Aqsa?

01:08:09.170 --> 01:08:10.630
That's the mosque on the Temple Mount.

01:08:11.150 --> 01:08:13.670
They want Jerusalem. They want the Temple Mount.

01:08:13.890 --> 01:08:15.590
They don't want one Jew living in the land.

01:08:16.330 --> 01:08:18.370
There is no two-state solution, folks.

01:08:19.190 --> 01:08:20.250
That's a naivety.

01:08:21.990 --> 01:08:23.630
Now, when you stand with Israel,

01:08:23.850 --> 01:08:26.670
here's one very quick thing that I got to cover before we move on,

01:08:26.870 --> 01:08:28.430
and that is we get accused of this.

01:08:29.530 --> 01:08:29.970
Shalom.

01:08:30.770 --> 01:08:33.790
So, if Israel's not been replaced, what are you saying?

01:08:33.930 --> 01:08:37.170
What I'm saying is that there is a separate plan for Israel.

01:08:37.170 --> 01:08:39.670
For the Jewish people, for the land, for the nation.

01:08:40.050 --> 01:08:44.950
And that's why I call myself a fancy term dispensational.

01:08:45.390 --> 01:08:49.350
It just simply means a different dispensation for the nation of Israel

01:08:49.350 --> 01:08:51.350
and a different dispensation for the church.

01:08:51.710 --> 01:08:53.390
Going back to Daniel chapter 9,

01:08:53.790 --> 01:08:56.090
the 70th week has not been fulfilled.

01:08:56.270 --> 01:08:57.610
That's the seven-year tribulation.

01:08:58.230 --> 01:09:02.490
The angel tells Daniel, this is for your people and your holy city.

01:09:02.810 --> 01:09:03.650
Very specific.

01:09:04.490 --> 01:09:06.270
But, here's what we get accused of.

01:09:06.270 --> 01:09:09.630
Well, if you're a dispensationalist, you believe in dual covenant theology,

01:09:09.770 --> 01:09:11.170
meaning you believe there's two salvation.

01:09:12.210 --> 01:09:14.350
Jews have a separate salvation apart from Christ.

01:09:14.810 --> 01:09:17.130
Never, ever, ever, ever.

01:09:18.510 --> 01:09:20.930
There is one name under heaven by which man can be saved.

01:09:21.310 --> 01:09:24.270
Once the Messiah has come, he is for Jew and Gentile alike.

01:09:24.470 --> 01:09:27.350
There's only one way of being saved for Jew and Gentile alike,

01:09:27.430 --> 01:09:30.130
and that is only through Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach.

01:09:30.270 --> 01:09:33.210
Period. One way. There's no negotiating that.

01:09:34.310 --> 01:09:35.530
And here's the cool thing.

01:09:36.130 --> 01:09:38.090
There are 10 million people living in Israel today,

01:09:38.490 --> 01:09:40.730
8 million Jews, 2 million Arabs.

01:09:40.990 --> 01:09:42.870
They let 2 million Arabs live among them.

01:09:44.090 --> 01:09:47.270
Some of those Arabs are Christians, some of those Arabs are Jews,

01:09:47.810 --> 01:09:48.910
some of those Arabs are Muslims.

01:09:49.610 --> 01:09:51.730
Just because you're an Arab doesn't mean you're a Muslim.

01:09:53.970 --> 01:09:56.630
There's 15 million Jews worldwide. That's it.

01:09:57.450 --> 01:09:59.490
15 million, 2 billion Muslims.

01:10:00.290 --> 01:10:06.950
Of the 15 million, there is now one million that is born again.

01:10:08.010 --> 01:10:09.370
They're messianic.

01:10:09.930 --> 01:10:13.830
One million now out of 16 million, 15 plus something million,

01:10:14.050 --> 01:10:15.430
are now messianic.

01:10:15.930 --> 01:10:20.510
And in Israel, where 20, 30 years ago, there was only maybe hundreds,

01:10:20.970 --> 01:10:22.710
there is now 40,000 in Israel.

01:10:23.490 --> 01:10:25.270
God is saving the Jewish people.

01:10:25.910 --> 01:10:26.650
He's not done.

01:10:27.670 --> 01:10:29.290
The church stands up and says,

01:10:30.370 --> 01:10:31.090
We're done.

01:10:31.970 --> 01:10:33.090
How dare we say that?

01:10:34.550 --> 01:10:38.230
And when you have that attitude, it leads to this Jew hatred.

01:10:38.610 --> 01:10:39.890
It leads to anti-Semitism.

01:10:40.950 --> 01:10:42.950
Now, what is the root of anti-Semitism?

01:10:43.510 --> 01:10:44.170
It's Satan.

01:10:44.770 --> 01:10:46.070
I don't have else to say it for you.

01:10:46.510 --> 01:10:49.810
But the biblical root goes back to what I said earlier.

01:10:50.550 --> 01:10:53.070
If Abraham had just not listened to his wife,

01:10:55.230 --> 01:10:57.550
four and a half thousand years of blood feud,

01:10:58.630 --> 01:11:00.510
because the son was born out of the flesh.

01:11:01.630 --> 01:11:08.030
And Abraham and Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau,

01:11:08.330 --> 01:11:09.590
and we've had this blood feud.

01:11:10.090 --> 01:11:13.530
And what did God say in Genesis chapter 16 over Ishmael?

01:11:14.130 --> 01:11:15.650
He said, I'm going to take care of you.

01:11:15.850 --> 01:11:16.210
Go east.

01:11:16.570 --> 01:11:19.870
But he says this, you're going to be a wild donkey of a man.

01:11:20.550 --> 01:11:22.090
And you're going to be an enmity

01:11:22.090 --> 01:11:24.150
with all your brothers.

01:11:25.590 --> 01:11:27.470
And I think that's living up to the bill.

01:11:28.090 --> 01:11:31.090
And the number one threat against Israel,

01:11:31.590 --> 01:11:33.970
the world and the church is Islam.

01:11:35.930 --> 01:11:38.390
So Islam isn't just in the Middle East.

01:11:38.550 --> 01:11:40.090
It's taking over Central Asia.

01:11:40.170 --> 01:11:41.850
It's taking over Northern Africa.

01:11:42.090 --> 01:11:44.190
And what's not on this map is Western Europe.

01:11:45.670 --> 01:11:46.990
And then you got the little tiny...

01:11:46.990 --> 01:11:47.750
Can you see that red?

01:11:48.690 --> 01:11:49.950
The little tiny red?

01:11:52.170 --> 01:11:53.410
That's modern day Israel.

01:11:55.450 --> 01:11:58.830
And that's why I warn on Friday night

01:11:58.830 --> 01:12:02.910
about this whole ecumenical inner faith nonsense.

01:12:03.330 --> 01:12:05.170
Because you go to these prayer things

01:12:05.170 --> 01:12:07.690
and when the Muslims pray, again,

01:12:07.850 --> 01:12:08.950
surah chapter 1,

01:12:10.410 --> 01:12:11.610
they're saying in their prayers,

01:12:11.990 --> 01:12:13.130
show us the straight way, Allah.

01:12:13.650 --> 01:12:16.270
And so we don't go the way of those before us.

01:12:16.630 --> 01:12:19.130
They're cursing the Jews and they're cursing the Christians.

01:12:19.130 --> 01:12:20.830
And then at the very end of their prayer,

01:12:21.010 --> 01:12:23.190
in surah chapter 112, they pray,

01:12:23.630 --> 01:12:26.710
Allah does not have a son, nor does he have...

01:12:26.710 --> 01:12:27.610
nor can he be a father.

01:12:27.950 --> 01:12:30.170
So they're denying the Trinity, they're denying Christianity.

01:12:30.750 --> 01:12:33.390
17 times a day minimum they pray that in their daily prayers.

01:12:33.730 --> 01:12:34.850
They're cursing the Jews and Christians,

01:12:35.130 --> 01:12:37.310
and they're denying the Trinity in their daily prayers.

01:12:37.510 --> 01:12:39.710
And you tell me what on earth we have in common with that.

01:12:40.550 --> 01:12:41.830
That's the spirit of Antichrist.

01:12:42.230 --> 01:12:44.950
And that spirit is what's leading the global anti-Semitism.

01:12:45.210 --> 01:12:47.270
After October 7, 2023,

01:12:47.270 --> 01:12:52.330
between October and December, the anti-Semitism went up 69%.

01:12:53.090 --> 01:12:55.610
Then the following year, 2024, last year,

01:12:55.850 --> 01:12:57.690
it went up 128%.

01:12:57.690 --> 01:13:01.390
So it's gone up almost 200% since October 7, 2023.

01:13:02.150 --> 01:13:03.130
And who was attacked?

01:13:05.850 --> 01:13:07.670
And 1200 Israelis killed

01:13:07.670 --> 01:13:10.550
would be like the equivalent of the Mexican cartel

01:13:10.810 --> 01:13:12.990
coming across the border with their Muslim allies

01:13:12.990 --> 01:13:14.730
and killing 50,000 Americans.

01:13:14.730 --> 01:13:17.490
Can I ask you, what would we do to Mexico

01:13:17.490 --> 01:13:19.650
if they came and killed 50,000 Americans?

01:13:19.930 --> 01:13:20.990
We would level Mexico.

01:13:21.850 --> 01:13:25.130
And nobody would say you have no right to defend your country

01:13:25.130 --> 01:13:28.210
if they came in and killed 50,000 of our women, of our children,

01:13:28.670 --> 01:13:31.410
in every horrific thing that I want to say here.

01:13:32.050 --> 01:13:33.650
We would say level Mexico.

01:13:35.070 --> 01:13:37.470
We don't care the collateral. We don't care.

01:13:37.690 --> 01:13:40.450
We're going to level the cartel. We're going to level all the jihadists.

01:13:40.570 --> 01:13:41.430
We're going to level them.

01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:48.020
But Israel does it, and we say they're committing genocide.

01:13:48.940 --> 01:13:51.640
By the way, if they committed genocide, they have a problem

01:13:51.640 --> 01:13:53.480
because since October 7, 2023,

01:13:54.020 --> 01:13:56.340
the population in Gaza has increased by 2%.

01:13:57.440 --> 01:14:00.220
So if you're wiping them out, you're not doing a good job.

01:14:01.860 --> 01:14:04.200
You know where genocide is being committed right now?

01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:07.280
In Syria. In Nigeria.

01:14:08.520 --> 01:14:11.240
At what? At the hands of the Muslims.

01:14:11.240 --> 01:14:13.380
Our war on Christians DVD.

01:14:14.300 --> 01:14:18.400
The tracking of a world watch list of all the countries that are...

01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:21.480
the top 10 countries persecuting and killing Christians.

01:14:21.740 --> 01:14:22.920
Nine of them are Islamic.

01:14:24.800 --> 01:14:27.580
And North Korea, in my opinion, shouldn't be number one on that list.

01:14:27.780 --> 01:14:28.640
It should be Nigeria.

01:14:31.700 --> 01:14:35.740
And as I said earlier, this hatred that is only

01:14:35.740 --> 01:14:40.220
can be explained spiritually from the heart of Satan himself.

01:14:40.220 --> 01:14:42.160
This goes back to Genesis 3.

01:14:43.200 --> 01:14:47.800
enmity between the serpent and the woman and his seed and her seed.

01:14:48.100 --> 01:14:49.800
By the way, that's why Satan loves abortion.

01:14:50.660 --> 01:14:53.120
Have you ever thought about that? The seed of the woman.

01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:55.420
That's why Satan hates women.

01:14:56.300 --> 01:14:57.740
You think Islam is nice to women?

01:15:00.420 --> 01:15:05.340
Islam treats women as garbage, as second-class citizens, as property.

01:15:06.020 --> 01:15:07.640
Why? Because it's satanic.

01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:15.540
A godly religion would, brother, honor women, lift up women as daughters of the king.

01:15:18.140 --> 01:15:21.740
And this intifada that they call it.

01:15:22.460 --> 01:15:24.780
This is intifada, and then they shout,

01:15:25.020 --> 01:15:27.980
from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

01:15:28.740 --> 01:15:31.800
What are they saying? What's the river, the Jordan?

01:15:32.080 --> 01:15:34.400
What's the sea, Mediterranean? What's in between?

01:15:34.400 --> 01:15:37.980
Israel. No Israel. It's an annihilation chant.

01:15:38.560 --> 01:15:42.040
And the original slogan was, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be Arab.

01:15:42.240 --> 01:15:44.600
They changed it. Did you know that? They changed it.

01:15:45.200 --> 01:15:47.300
It's a little bit more nicer. It'll be free.

01:15:48.280 --> 01:15:49.800
And then we see this anti-Semitism.

01:15:50.400 --> 01:15:56.280
I mean, I can spend 10 hours telling you all the stories every day.

01:15:56.460 --> 01:16:04.180
In fact, just recently in Los Angeles, two Jews were kidnapped, tortured and killed.

01:16:04.180 --> 01:16:07.560
Simply for being Jewish. You didn't hear about it in America.

01:16:08.620 --> 01:16:10.060
It's happening all over the world.

01:16:10.480 --> 01:16:12.800
In Canada now, that is falling to Islam.

01:16:13.660 --> 01:16:17.760
And their globalist master, as Pastor said, the globalists are working with the Muslims.

01:16:18.080 --> 01:16:19.560
The Muslims are working with the globalists.

01:16:19.780 --> 01:16:22.200
It's the red-green axis that I talked about on Friday night.

01:16:23.480 --> 01:16:26.800
And Canada is in big trouble, and the Jews are going to be leaving Canada soon.

01:16:27.220 --> 01:16:29.180
By the way, God's using this. You know why?

01:16:29.420 --> 01:16:31.600
Because what was the prophecy once they become a land?

01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:34.960
God's going to do what? Re-gather them, bring them back. It's called Aliyah.

01:16:35.240 --> 01:16:37.240
God is bringing them back to Israel.

01:16:38.680 --> 01:16:43.140
So as the persecution increases for Jews, God is using that to simply fulfill His word.

01:16:43.380 --> 01:16:44.180
They're going back to Israel.

01:16:45.100 --> 01:16:48.020
And if you think it's about the land, I like this little meme someone did.

01:16:48.200 --> 01:16:50.920
If you think it's about the land, recently there was all these fires in Israel.

01:16:51.240 --> 01:16:53.600
And there's no doubt that that was caused...

01:16:53.600 --> 01:17:01.480
Those were deliberate arson acts of terrorism by allegiance to Hamas or Islam.

01:17:02.020 --> 01:17:05.040
But isn't it amazing that all this argument is about the land, right?

01:17:05.100 --> 01:17:08.840
We want a nation. We want a Palestinian state. We want land.

01:17:09.440 --> 01:17:12.320
And if they can't have it, they'll burn it down.

01:17:12.960 --> 01:17:13.740
Does that make sense?

01:17:14.940 --> 01:17:18.180
No. Because if it's their land, why are you burning your own land down?

01:17:20.160 --> 01:17:21.660
Because they know it's not their land.

01:17:22.240 --> 01:17:23.740
It's a bargaining tool.

01:17:24.220 --> 01:17:27.280
The whole Palestinian argument is a bargaining tool.

01:17:27.980 --> 01:17:30.760
And that's why I did the presentation Friday night.

01:17:32.000 --> 01:17:35.680
And if anybody is available or didn't get to see it or knows anybody,

01:17:36.140 --> 01:17:40.880
I'm going to be in Stacey tomorrow night again giving that presentation.

01:17:41.440 --> 01:17:42.860
So please come out if you want.

01:17:43.140 --> 01:17:44.940
Although remember, it's on rumble.

01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:47.620
So get the link from Word of Life.

01:17:47.760 --> 01:17:50.700
I saw it on Word of Life, but you said faith and freedom also.

01:17:51.340 --> 01:17:52.140
Both places.

01:17:52.860 --> 01:17:54.440
And please share that link.

01:17:56.000 --> 01:17:59.440
But brothers and sisters, the bottom line comes, it's about Jerusalem.

01:18:00.200 --> 01:18:01.340
Satan wants Jerusalem.

01:18:03.120 --> 01:18:04.000
And he's not going to have it.

01:18:05.040 --> 01:18:05.980
He's not going to have it.

01:18:07.140 --> 01:18:08.600
Right? It's a cup of drunkenness.

01:18:08.840 --> 01:18:09.780
It's a heavy stone.

01:18:10.600 --> 01:18:12.960
All the nations gather against it, but what's going to happen?

01:18:13.060 --> 01:18:13.860
They're going to be cut to pieces.

01:18:14.660 --> 01:18:15.400
They can't have it.

01:18:16.540 --> 01:18:20.700
They try and they try and they try and they try and they can't have it.

01:18:22.800 --> 01:18:26.660
And because I'm a Persian and I'm a Christian and I support Israel.

01:18:27.140 --> 01:18:31.800
And if you do too, I want to prepare you because part of the persecution

01:18:31.800 --> 01:18:35.560
oftentimes starts with words, labels, right?

01:18:35.900 --> 01:18:37.240
I'm an Islamophobe.

01:18:40.900 --> 01:18:45.300
I'm a homophobe because I believe in biblical marriage, biblical sexuality.

01:18:46.220 --> 01:18:50.660
I'm a xenophobe because I don't like illegals in our country.

01:18:52.260 --> 01:18:53.980
By the way, I'm from the Middle East.

01:18:54.980 --> 01:18:56.420
And that, you know what a xenophobe is?

01:18:56.560 --> 01:18:57.540
Interational fear of foreigners.

01:18:58.400 --> 01:18:59.180
I am a foreigner.

01:19:00.400 --> 01:19:01.920
That'd be like me being scared of myself.

01:19:03.320 --> 01:19:06.300
But then the term they're going to throw around on this topic is

01:19:07.620 --> 01:19:08.620
you support Israel.

01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:09.740
Come on. Who wants to guess?

01:19:10.540 --> 01:19:11.280
You're a Zionist.

01:19:12.140 --> 01:19:13.120
You're a Zionist.

01:19:13.120 --> 01:19:14.720
You filthy Zionists.

01:19:15.300 --> 01:19:18.880
And I hate it when the enemy steals God's words.

01:19:20.560 --> 01:19:22.080
Just like he stole the rainbow.

01:19:22.820 --> 01:19:27.000
Because the word Zion is in the Bible 150 times.

01:19:27.940 --> 01:19:29.480
Zion is Jerusalem.

01:19:30.080 --> 01:19:31.860
God calls himself Zion.

01:19:32.420 --> 01:19:34.240
God calls the land Zion.

01:19:35.020 --> 01:19:37.600
So now, are there globalists?

01:19:38.020 --> 01:19:39.900
Are there self-deprecating Jews?

01:19:40.160 --> 01:19:42.240
Everybody used an example of George Soros, right?

01:19:42.240 --> 01:19:44.140
What about George Soros and what about these globalists?

01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:47.640
Look, the globalists may have tried this and tried that

01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:51.820
and maybe they even had a hand in making Israel become a nation.

01:19:52.100 --> 01:19:54.380
But what part of God's sovereignty?

01:19:54.660 --> 01:19:56.480
Where is God's sovereignty in all this?

01:19:56.700 --> 01:19:58.840
He said it would happen and it happened.

01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:02.780
He said a nation that didn't exist for two and a half thousand years

01:20:02.780 --> 01:20:03.780
would once again exist.

01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:06.300
And we have seen it in our lifetime.

01:20:06.780 --> 01:20:11.000
And in 1967, they went from not having control of Jerusalem

01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:12.680
to the first time in two and a half years

01:20:12.680 --> 01:20:14.880
taking over Jerusalem in the Six Day War.

01:20:15.300 --> 01:20:18.020
Then 2017, the embassy gets moved

01:20:18.020 --> 01:20:20.540
and now the United States becomes the first nation

01:20:20.540 --> 01:20:22.220
in two and a half years as a major nation

01:20:22.220 --> 01:20:24.340
to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:27.960
We are seeing prophecy fulfilled both good

01:20:29.020 --> 01:20:29.940
and concerning.

01:20:31.260 --> 01:20:34.320
So I say, I am a biblical Zionist.

01:20:34.560 --> 01:20:36.280
I am a scriptural Zionist.

01:20:36.360 --> 01:20:38.080
I am not a global Zionist.

01:20:39.400 --> 01:20:41.820
And are there Jews that hate themselves? Yes.

01:20:43.320 --> 01:20:45.180
Are they confused? Sure they are.

01:20:45.260 --> 01:20:46.500
There are lots of Christians that are confused too.

01:20:47.680 --> 01:20:50.960
But again, to answer the question, is God done with them?

01:20:51.580 --> 01:20:53.740
The answer is no. And Paul answered that question.

01:20:54.180 --> 01:20:55.860
And I go into much more on this in the DVD.

01:20:56.420 --> 01:20:58.660
I am running out of time here but here is Romans 11.

01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:00.780
I encourage you to read Romans 9, 10 and 11.

01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:04.800
It not only makes it very clear

01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:06.880
because look at the beginning part of this.

01:21:07.780 --> 01:21:10.420
I say then, has God cast away his people?

01:21:10.580 --> 01:21:11.220
Surely not.

01:21:12.220 --> 01:21:13.300
Now, can I ask you a question?

01:21:13.620 --> 01:21:15.420
If that is talking about the church and not Israel,

01:21:15.740 --> 01:21:18.200
has God cast away the church? Does that make sense?

01:21:18.700 --> 01:21:22.300
No. Then he says, I am an Israelite and the seat of Abraham

01:21:22.300 --> 01:21:23.260
and the tribe of Benjamin.

01:21:23.600 --> 01:21:25.380
Is that talking about the church? No.

01:21:25.660 --> 01:21:26.940
He is giving you a Jewish resume.

01:21:29.540 --> 01:21:32.880
But he acknowledges God has not cast them away.

01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:36.740
However, he has given them a spirit of stupor.

01:21:37.320 --> 01:21:39.600
They did reject the Messiah. No doubt.

01:21:40.140 --> 01:21:42.340
They did reject Christ. No doubt.

01:21:42.580 --> 01:21:44.100
There are Jews in the world today

01:21:44.100 --> 01:21:46.820
that if you say Jesus Christ, it is a curse word.

01:21:47.740 --> 01:21:50.240
Their eyes are blinded. No surprise.

01:21:50.580 --> 01:21:51.660
That is what God's word says.

01:21:52.080 --> 01:21:53.440
But he is not done with them.

01:21:54.940 --> 01:21:58.000
And the problem is that this is leading to this

01:21:58.000 --> 01:21:59.900
deception of multi-faith.

01:22:00.500 --> 01:22:02.900
Again, this Abrahamic faith that I talked about Friday night,

01:22:02.900 --> 01:22:04.580
they built this facility in Abu Dhabi.

01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:06.400
Let's all worship the same God.

01:22:06.540 --> 01:22:08.560
It's going to be called the House of One, the House of Abraham.

01:22:08.980 --> 01:22:11.160
And I believe they are going to do it on the Temple Mount.

01:22:12.240 --> 01:22:16.120
In fact, you know that guy that is claiming to be the Messiah,

01:22:16.600 --> 01:22:17.300
the Muslim guy?

01:22:18.380 --> 01:22:21.580
He calls himself al-Sadiri al-Hasham.

01:22:22.300 --> 01:22:23.660
He says, I am the Mahdi.

01:22:24.160 --> 01:22:26.780
He just did a video just this week

01:22:26.780 --> 01:22:29.560
where he said the solution is

01:22:29.560 --> 01:22:31.540
we share the Temple Mount.

01:22:31.800 --> 01:22:34.120
Let the Jews rebuild their Temple.

01:22:34.560 --> 01:22:37.740
He is claiming to be the Islamic Messiah come.

01:22:38.940 --> 01:22:41.160
Now, personally, I don't believe he is the Antichrist.

01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:43.060
A little too obvious, personally.

01:22:43.500 --> 01:22:47.300
But he is garnering millions and millions of views.

01:22:49.120 --> 01:22:51.440
They have their videos are garnering

01:22:51.440 --> 01:22:54.180
hundreds of millions of views around the world.

01:22:54.180 --> 01:22:59.740
So don't take this lightly of what is going on.

01:23:00.660 --> 01:23:02.100
And what is his approach?

01:23:02.920 --> 01:23:04.140
I represent Christianity.

01:23:04.740 --> 01:23:05.760
I represent Islam.

01:23:06.240 --> 01:23:07.300
I represent Judaism.

01:23:07.980 --> 01:23:09.680
And I'm going to bring them all together.

01:23:10.140 --> 01:23:11.840
And he said in his latest video,

01:23:12.300 --> 01:23:14.280
and I will bring peace.

01:23:15.100 --> 01:23:15.560
Woo!

01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:19.140
Now, again, I don't think he is the dude.

01:23:19.940 --> 01:23:22.020
But he is the type and shadow of the dude.

01:23:22.780 --> 01:23:23.980
He is a forerunner.

01:23:24.720 --> 01:23:26.020
And the world will fall for it.

01:23:26.400 --> 01:23:27.740
And sadly, that's why I said the other night,

01:23:27.880 --> 01:23:29.240
Islam can never be Abrahamic.

01:23:29.280 --> 01:23:32.380
And I explained that on my website, in the DVDs.

01:23:32.620 --> 01:23:35.100
But the Jews are desperate to rebuild that third Temple.

01:23:35.260 --> 01:23:36.600
Oh boy, are they desperate.

01:23:37.480 --> 01:23:40.240
They believe the third Temple will usher in the Messiah.

01:23:41.400 --> 01:23:44.440
And they will do almost everything to get that third Temple.

01:23:45.120 --> 01:23:47.060
And I believe that the...

01:23:47.060 --> 01:23:50.800
People ask me, why are you so upset about the Abrahamic chords

01:23:50.800 --> 01:23:52.060
that President Trump pushed forward?

01:23:52.340 --> 01:23:54.460
Because they are not diplomatic, they are a spiritual document.

01:23:55.280 --> 01:23:56.260
It says right to read it.

01:23:56.440 --> 01:23:58.100
It says right there, on the beginning of it,

01:23:58.120 --> 01:24:03.840
that this is a document bringing together the three great Abrahamic faiths.

01:24:04.160 --> 01:24:05.200
That's a spiritual document.

01:24:05.460 --> 01:24:07.900
I can't agree to that, because Islam is not Abrahamic.

01:24:08.820 --> 01:24:10.320
But since Trump got elected,

01:24:10.540 --> 01:24:14.600
and we have probably, probably the most pro-Israel administration ever,

01:24:17.040 --> 01:24:18.480
there is a problem with that.

01:24:19.380 --> 01:24:21.680
There is good, but there is a problem with that.

01:24:22.560 --> 01:24:28.280
And that is the Talmudic rabbis that are wanting to rebuild the third Temple.

01:24:28.500 --> 01:24:30.240
And what are they going to do when they rebuild the third Temple?

01:24:31.740 --> 01:24:33.620
Restart the sacrificial system.

01:24:33.960 --> 01:24:34.220
Woo!

01:24:35.040 --> 01:24:38.160
Oh Lord, what an affront to the Messiah.

01:24:40.580 --> 01:24:44.320
Because they are trying to garner their own righteousness.

01:24:46.980 --> 01:24:49.680
And the Jewish rabbis are saying in Israel,

01:24:49.800 --> 01:24:50.940
they use this thing called gamatria,

01:24:51.060 --> 01:24:53.900
which means that we take the letters of someone's name,

01:24:54.120 --> 01:24:55.620
and we connect it to the Hebrew alphabet,

01:24:55.920 --> 01:24:59.280
and then every Hebrew alphabet has a number, and we add their number.

01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:00.800
And when they add Donald Trump's name,

01:25:01.120 --> 01:25:02.800
it comes over to number 424,

01:25:03.020 --> 01:25:06.440
and the rabbis are declaring that that is the same number as the Messiah.

01:25:09.140 --> 01:25:10.780
Now, they stopped, and they said,

01:25:10.780 --> 01:25:13.480
but we're not saying that Trump is the Messiah.

01:25:13.760 --> 01:25:15.880
I'm like, thank you, Lord. Oh my goodness.

01:25:18.340 --> 01:25:23.980
But they are saying that we believe President Trump will help us rebuild the Temple.

01:25:25.280 --> 01:25:28.180
So there is good, and there is danger.

01:25:29.100 --> 01:25:32.320
And when the President of the United States is being advised

01:25:33.440 --> 01:25:36.820
by not-godly counsel or wise counsel,

01:25:37.200 --> 01:25:40.300
when I said Friday night that they have these ecumenical prayers,

01:25:40.300 --> 01:25:43.320
and iftar dinners, and the prayer service,

01:25:43.620 --> 01:25:45.400
and they're being cursed to their faces,

01:25:46.440 --> 01:25:49.060
his Middle East envoy is going there trying to make deals.

01:25:50.520 --> 01:25:54.520
I think that the Abraham Accords have the potential of being the foundation

01:25:54.520 --> 01:25:55.840
for the Daniel 9 Covenant,

01:25:56.740 --> 01:26:02.080
because the sticking point of all of this is the Temple Mount and Jerusalem.

01:26:02.960 --> 01:26:06.660
It's not about the land. It's not about here or here or here.

01:26:06.660 --> 01:26:09.680
It's about Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

01:26:09.920 --> 01:26:12.820
And that's why I have my DVD, One World Religion Rising.

01:26:13.900 --> 01:26:16.920
The deception is here. It's growing.

01:26:17.680 --> 01:26:20.860
And the answer is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as Pastor said.

01:26:21.420 --> 01:26:25.340
So once again, God is not done.

01:26:26.040 --> 01:26:30.320
And Paul says, listen, brethren, do not be ignorant.

01:26:30.740 --> 01:26:33.880
Their blindness in part has happened to Israel

01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:37.660
until here is the greatest proof of dispensationalism.

01:26:39.400 --> 01:26:45.120
Until, read that, please, the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

01:26:49.470 --> 01:26:50.890
Right? Meaning what?

01:26:53.990 --> 01:26:56.270
When enough Gentiles get saved,

01:26:56.770 --> 01:27:00.110
I don't know the number. You don't know the number. Only the Lord knows the number.

01:27:00.730 --> 01:27:04.090
When that happens, when God's brought all the Gentiles in,

01:27:05.070 --> 01:27:06.110
then what happens?

01:27:07.050 --> 01:27:13.730
Then he turns his focus back to the land, to Israel,

01:27:14.290 --> 01:27:16.690
and to finishing what he started. Because what does it say?

01:27:17.370 --> 01:27:18.830
So all Israel will be saved.

01:27:19.190 --> 01:27:21.890
There's nothing about the government. It's talking about the remnant.

01:27:22.710 --> 01:27:25.850
God will save a remnant of Israel. He's already doing it.

01:27:26.470 --> 01:27:27.890
But he will finish the job.

01:27:28.530 --> 01:27:33.570
And that's why Paul says in Romans 10, pray for the salvation of the Jews.

01:27:33.570 --> 01:27:36.050
Now, I'm standing here before you, and Pastor already said it.

01:27:36.230 --> 01:27:37.630
Pray for the salvation of the Muslims.

01:27:38.410 --> 01:27:41.530
Because the only way that Islam is going to ever be defeated,

01:27:42.330 --> 01:27:43.810
ultimately Christ will defeat it.

01:27:44.010 --> 01:27:48.110
But for us, the only way it's going to be pushed back is to bring them out.

01:27:48.990 --> 01:27:52.010
That's the only way. You're not going to change this demonic ideology.

01:27:52.390 --> 01:27:54.370
You've got to bring them out of that.

01:27:54.710 --> 01:27:58.230
Not you and I, Holy Spirit. But we've got to pray. We've got to sow the seeds.

01:27:58.450 --> 01:27:59.450
We've got to bring them out.

01:27:59.450 --> 01:28:04.750
But we also have to pray for the peace of Jerusalem as the Bible commands us,

01:28:04.830 --> 01:28:10.970
but also pray for the salvation of the Jewish people that they would come to salvation in Yeshua.

01:28:14.230 --> 01:28:15.630
The Messiah has come.

01:28:16.350 --> 01:28:17.510
So pray for Israel.

01:28:18.770 --> 01:28:20.090
Pray for their salvation.

01:28:21.010 --> 01:28:22.590
Pray for the salvation of the Muslims.

01:28:23.190 --> 01:28:25.370
Pray that the church will not be deceived by these things.

01:28:26.110 --> 01:28:27.270
Stand in the Word of God.

01:28:27.270 --> 01:28:29.810
And remember, the Deliverer comes out of Zion.

01:28:30.810 --> 01:28:32.190
He's going to come out of Zion.

01:28:32.830 --> 01:28:33.650
That's where he comes.

01:28:34.070 --> 01:28:35.030
He calls a Zion.

01:28:36.250 --> 01:28:37.610
And look at what it says.

01:28:38.270 --> 01:28:41.010
And he will turn away on godliness from Jacob.

01:28:41.510 --> 01:28:42.490
For this is what?

01:28:43.130 --> 01:28:44.010
My covenant.

01:28:44.270 --> 01:28:45.610
I started today with the covenant.

01:28:46.350 --> 01:28:48.390
I'm ending it on the covenant.

01:28:48.910 --> 01:28:50.510
Because God is covenantal.

01:28:51.130 --> 01:28:52.470
So why do we stand?

01:28:52.890 --> 01:28:53.690
Why do we support?

01:28:54.450 --> 01:28:55.230
Why do we pray?

01:28:55.670 --> 01:28:57.330
Because we are standing on God.

01:28:58.230 --> 01:28:59.150
And His Word.

01:29:00.110 --> 01:29:00.850
And people are saying to me,

01:29:00.870 --> 01:29:01.850
Well, I'm not going to take sides.

01:29:02.130 --> 01:29:02.570
Too bad.

01:29:02.790 --> 01:29:03.750
God's already taken sides.

01:29:04.950 --> 01:29:06.590
And it doesn't mean every Jew is right.

01:29:06.890 --> 01:29:08.430
It doesn't mean every Jew is...

01:29:08.430 --> 01:29:09.350
By the way, real quick.

01:29:09.650 --> 01:29:10.730
I get this argument about,

01:29:11.110 --> 01:29:12.130
What about the Ashkenazis?

01:29:12.630 --> 01:29:13.850
Are all the Jews really Jews?

01:29:14.410 --> 01:29:15.410
Don't worry about it.

01:29:15.690 --> 01:29:16.490
God will figure it out.

01:29:17.990 --> 01:29:19.070
God will figure it out.

01:29:21.350 --> 01:29:22.770
But His Word is His Word.

01:29:22.950 --> 01:29:24.170
His promises are His promises.

01:29:24.170 --> 01:29:26.490
We're witnessing prophecy being fulfilled.

01:29:27.110 --> 01:29:29.550
And we are incrementally getting closer

01:29:29.990 --> 01:29:32.330
to that day when the king of kings

01:29:32.330 --> 01:29:33.570
will step foot on the earth again.

01:29:34.710 --> 01:29:36.970
And it will not be...

01:29:36.970 --> 01:29:38.610
It will not be

01:29:39.170 --> 01:29:40.150
for the third temple.

01:29:41.470 --> 01:29:42.810
Because we are the temple

01:29:43.410 --> 01:29:44.530
of the Holy Spirit.

01:29:44.890 --> 01:29:46.590
But it will be for His glory.

01:29:47.050 --> 01:29:47.870
And He will defeat

01:29:47.870 --> 01:29:49.690
all the armies of the Antichrist,

01:29:49.830 --> 01:29:51.450
including every Muslim pastor

01:29:52.170 --> 01:29:54.290
that is fighting on behalf of the Antichrist

01:29:54.290 --> 01:29:54.830
will be defeated.

01:29:58.090 --> 01:29:59.590
And, last thing.

01:30:00.130 --> 01:30:03.370
If you want to see it first hand,

01:30:04.970 --> 01:30:06.790
there is nothing that I believe

01:30:06.790 --> 01:30:09.130
that truly brings your Bible to life

01:30:09.130 --> 01:30:10.570
than going there

01:30:11.770 --> 01:30:13.130
and witnessing it

01:30:13.130 --> 01:30:14.590
and seeing it

01:30:14.590 --> 01:30:16.810
and seeing what is happening in the nation

01:30:17.510 --> 01:30:19.870
and not listening just to media

01:30:19.870 --> 01:30:21.250
or even the right-wing media

01:30:21.250 --> 01:30:23.050
or the conservative media that says

01:30:23.050 --> 01:30:24.830
the Jews are this and the Jews are that.

01:30:26.570 --> 01:30:27.230
That is

01:30:27.950 --> 01:30:28.670
so grieving.

01:30:29.830 --> 01:30:31.050
We are going to be going on a trip.

01:30:31.190 --> 01:30:33.050
I ask pastor for permission to share this with you.

01:30:33.530 --> 01:30:35.990
So next May, a year from now,

01:30:37.130 --> 01:30:38.370
you got lots of time to pray

01:30:38.370 --> 01:30:39.890
and lots of time to save if you want to go.

01:30:40.650 --> 01:30:43.050
We're going to be taking an amazing trip to Israel

01:30:43.050 --> 01:30:44.950
May 11th to 21st.

01:30:44.970 --> 01:30:47.290
We're so excited because our guide

01:30:47.290 --> 01:30:49.470
who we just had in Knoxville

01:30:50.390 --> 01:30:52.570
is a Messianic Jew.

01:30:53.230 --> 01:30:55.490
I've gone to Israel before with a Jewish guide

01:30:55.490 --> 01:30:56.810
but that's different.

01:30:57.130 --> 01:30:58.690
But when you have a Messianic Jew

01:30:58.690 --> 01:31:00.070
that is bringing it all together

01:31:00.070 --> 01:31:01.730
when his eyes have been opened

01:31:01.730 --> 01:31:03.670
as a Jew to the Messiah,

01:31:04.150 --> 01:31:05.130
oh, it's so cool.

01:31:05.730 --> 01:31:08.370
And we're going to tag him on the trip.

01:31:08.590 --> 01:31:10.850
So get this. You got a Persian Christian

01:31:10.850 --> 01:31:12.510
and a Messianic Jew

01:31:12.510 --> 01:31:13.990
together on this trip.

01:31:15.150 --> 01:31:16.570
Only God can do that.

01:31:20.700 --> 01:31:22.680
And so there's a link there

01:31:22.680 --> 01:31:23.860
if you want it. Two ways.

01:31:24.020 --> 01:31:25.880
One is we have a sign up sheet on the back table.

01:31:26.080 --> 01:31:27.720
You're not signing up for the trip tonight.

01:31:27.880 --> 01:31:28.620
Okay, don't get nervous.

01:31:29.300 --> 01:31:30.740
You're just signing up for interest.

01:31:31.280 --> 01:31:32.900
We send you an email. We're going to send you a list.

01:31:33.040 --> 01:31:33.620
We're going to send you updates.

01:31:35.280 --> 01:31:37.020
We have a page. This is our page.

01:31:37.940 --> 01:31:39.120
Our pricing is there

01:31:39.700 --> 01:31:41.200
with airfare, without airfare.

01:31:41.680 --> 01:31:43.760
It's going to be nine days in country.

01:31:43.760 --> 01:31:44.480
11-day trip.

01:31:46.820 --> 01:31:47.620
Unbelievable sites.

01:31:48.460 --> 01:31:49.300
Baptism in the Jordan.

01:31:50.120 --> 01:31:50.920
Western Wall.

01:31:51.520 --> 01:31:53.420
We're going to be on Mt. Masada.

01:31:53.580 --> 01:31:54.520
We're going to be in the Dead Sea.

01:31:55.040 --> 01:31:57.400
We're going to be on the Temple Mount.

01:31:57.680 --> 01:32:00.200
Lord willing, depending on if there's not more war.

01:32:00.980 --> 01:32:02.600
We're going to maybe go to Starot.

01:32:02.700 --> 01:32:03.900
It's going to be prophecy-based.

01:32:04.720 --> 01:32:06.020
We're going to worship there.

01:32:06.180 --> 01:32:08.240
We're going to take communion at the Garden.

01:32:08.400 --> 01:32:09.220
I mean, all of it.

01:32:10.060 --> 01:32:11.440
And it's a once-in-a-lifetime.

01:32:12.060 --> 01:32:13.800
And so obviously,

01:32:14.480 --> 01:32:14.540
if

01:32:15.260 --> 01:32:17.200
word of life goes on their own, praise God.

01:32:17.320 --> 01:32:19.420
And if you ever decide to do that, I can connect you with Aaron.

01:32:19.880 --> 01:32:22.140
Because I think he'll be a phenomenal guide for you guys.

01:32:22.200 --> 01:32:23.540
If you guys decide to do your own trip.

01:32:23.820 --> 01:32:24.460
But in the meantime,

01:32:25.340 --> 01:32:27.040
it's here. We have spots available.

01:32:27.360 --> 01:32:29.320
Only about 40 spots. 38 spots.

01:32:29.540 --> 01:32:30.540
37, 38 spots.

01:32:31.140 --> 01:32:32.980
So we'll go fast, because we're going to stay on one bus.

01:32:33.640 --> 01:32:35.100
We want to stay on one bus together

01:32:35.100 --> 01:32:36.840
so we can all be sharing it.

01:32:36.940 --> 01:32:39.500
Because as we drive places, we're going to be talking about Scripture.

01:32:39.500 --> 01:32:41.040
We're going to be talking about history.

01:32:41.360 --> 01:32:42.900
We're going to be talking Old and New Testament.

01:32:43.220 --> 01:32:45.300
All of it. It's going to be

01:32:45.300 --> 01:32:46.540
perfectly incredible.

01:32:47.300 --> 01:32:49.120
So if you're interested, come talk to us.

01:32:50.100 --> 01:32:52.040
I'll be sharing more information with Pastor as well.

01:32:52.440 --> 01:32:53.400
And Lord willing,

01:32:53.620 --> 01:32:55.760
we're going to go there. And it will change your perspective.

01:32:56.120 --> 01:32:57.440
And it will change your Bible.

01:32:58.260 --> 01:32:59.580
I don't mean change the Bible.

01:32:59.740 --> 01:33:01.160
It will change your view of the Bible.

01:33:01.280 --> 01:33:02.580
Because it's going to come to life.

01:33:03.120 --> 01:33:04.460
So it'll be awesome. Anyway,

01:33:04.820 --> 01:33:07.200
I'm so sorry, Pastor. I went over time. I apologize.

01:33:08.440 --> 01:33:09.480
This is...

01:33:09.480 --> 01:33:10.860
There's so much here to share.

01:33:11.480 --> 01:33:12.600
I hope that's okay.

01:33:13.100 --> 01:33:15.440
I'm sharing from just the deep

01:33:15.440 --> 01:33:17.220
passion in my heart.

01:33:17.860 --> 01:33:19.740
You're laughing because is this a normal thing?

01:33:19.820 --> 01:33:20.900
I don't know. Okay, okay.

01:33:21.400 --> 01:33:23.460
It is... Pastor, it is

01:33:23.460 --> 01:33:24.280
in my church too.

01:33:25.820 --> 01:33:27.300
Our folks down there

01:33:27.300 --> 01:33:28.980
that laugh, they're like...

01:33:28.980 --> 01:33:31.480
Our church sermon was 35 minutes.

01:33:31.620 --> 01:33:33.800
They start laughing. They're like, 35 minutes.

01:33:34.100 --> 01:33:35.360
Sharam is just getting warmed up

01:33:35.360 --> 01:33:36.840
at 35 minutes. You know.

01:33:37.060 --> 01:33:39.300
So they're used to like an hour, 15

01:33:39.300 --> 01:33:41.260
hour, 20. So thank you guys

01:33:41.260 --> 01:33:43.320
for your grace and your patience

01:33:43.320 --> 01:33:44.940
today. A lot to cover here.

01:33:45.200 --> 01:33:46.480
A lot more on the DVD.

01:33:47.480 --> 01:33:49.000
But this is about

01:33:49.000 --> 01:33:50.320
faithfulness to God.

01:33:50.820 --> 01:33:53.400
Whether it's on Israel, whether it's on

01:33:53.400 --> 01:33:55.160
salvation, whether it's on

01:33:55.160 --> 01:33:57.000
prophecy, whether it's on biblical

01:33:57.000 --> 01:33:58.880
marriage, whether it's on life,

01:33:59.120 --> 01:34:00.760
whether it's on our nation

01:34:00.760 --> 01:34:02.660
and standing for righteousness.

01:34:02.660 --> 01:34:04.700
All of it. Let's

01:34:04.700 --> 01:34:06.300
stand with our God. Amen.

01:34:07.060 --> 01:34:08.400
So God bless you guys. Pastor,

01:34:08.560 --> 01:34:09.700
I'll turn it back to you. Is that okay?

01:34:10.260 --> 01:34:12.640
And he gets

01:34:12.640 --> 01:34:13.760
all the honor and glory.

01:34:15.220 --> 01:34:15.660
Amen.
