[00:00:00] Lord, we worship you, God almighty, King of kings and Lord of lords, we worship you. [00:06:43] We thank you for your death on the cross, Lord. [00:06:46] You laid down your life, nobody took it from you. [00:06:48] You laid it down, Lord, your sinless life, your sinless blood to be the sacrifice, Lord, [00:06:55] the atonement, the payment for our sins. [00:07:00] And Lord, anyone can come to you and say, Lord, forgive me, wash me clean, forgive my sins, [00:07:08] I give you my life, I repent, and Lord, you will forgive and you will save. [00:07:16] And Lord, we pray that people will do that, Lord. [00:07:18] Even those watching right now that have not been born again, that have not surrendered [00:07:22] their life to you as Lord and Savior, as their God and Creator, that they will bow the knee [00:07:28] and say, Jesus, forgive me, I am a sinner. [00:07:31] I need your forgiveness. [00:07:33] I need your blood to wash my sins away. [00:07:36] I want to be saved. [00:07:38] I want to walk with you. [00:07:39] I want a relationship with you or I want to go to heaven. [00:07:42] I don't want to pay the penalty for my sins, which is eternal damnation. [00:07:47] I want to take the price you paid for me and apply it. [00:07:52] I hope people do that this morning, Lord. [00:07:54] I ask you, Holy Spirit, move upon the lost ones. [00:07:59] Move upon, Lord, the ones that have fallen away. [00:08:04] Lord, open our eyes because the hour is late. [00:08:07] We pray this in Jesus name and everybody said, amen. [00:08:12] All right. [00:08:12] You may be seated. [00:08:14] Hallelujah. [00:08:15] Now, let's let you guys know up there. [00:08:18] We're going to be going back and forth between the PowerPoint and some [00:08:22] scriptures, so get ready to be shifting back and forth a little bit. [00:08:30] It's kind of crazy. [00:08:31] All the crazy stuff that's going on, but, you know, as the news came out, [00:08:39] I think it was yesterday about the attack on Israel, you know, [00:08:45] somebody asked me, said, what do you think is going on? [00:08:47] I said, well, you know, these attacks from Gaza, from Hamas, from Hezbollah, [00:08:52] from, you know, really proxies for Iran and, you know, [00:08:58] these things have been going on, you know, just for decades and decades. [00:09:01] In fact, I was in Israel in 1988 during the first [00:09:06] infant of the uprising of the Palestinians and that little skirmish. [00:09:10] And I would hear gunshots and people. [00:09:12] I think one night we were in the old city of Jerusalem [00:09:15] and like 11 people were shot that night. [00:09:17] I was in the bus station in Jerusalem about to get on a bus [00:09:22] and ran into police yellow police tape and a bomb guy fully dressed in the [00:09:29] bomb was carried a bomb right in front of me, like showing it to me. [00:09:31] Like it was a pie and walked into the bomb truck. [00:09:34] I mean, that's that's Israel, OK? [00:09:36] And that's the battle they're in. [00:09:38] Now, I know there's people out there. [00:09:39] I'm going to say this before we get into this this morning. [00:09:42] There's people out there that don't even believe [00:09:44] that the nation of Israel is the real nation of Israel, [00:09:48] the nation of Israel right now that exists. [00:09:51] I'm just going to tell you what that is. [00:09:52] That's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs right there. OK. [00:09:57] We got people. [00:09:58] In fact, I have a lady, God bless her heart, [00:10:02] but I have a lady trying to convince me that America is really Israel [00:10:06] geographically and historically and in every way. [00:10:08] And I'm just like, oh, Lord, help us. [00:10:13] You know, Israel is Israel and the prophecies fulfilled [00:10:17] 1948 when Israel became a nation. [00:10:20] That was a prophecy fulfilled. [00:10:21] Now, people want to tell me all the time. [00:10:23] Well, the Rothschilds were involved in that. [00:10:26] You know what? I don't care if Nebuchadnezzar was involved in. [00:10:29] God said it was going to happen. [00:10:31] And it happened. Right. [00:10:34] And I don't care who he uses to do it. [00:10:36] Remember the donkey? Yeah. [00:10:38] All right. God can use whoever he wants. [00:10:42] And the nation of Israel was brought back. [00:10:45] And in fact, when I went there in 1988, [00:10:49] I was on a plane full. [00:10:51] I mean, I flew from Atlanta to Paris, France [00:10:56] and and got on an Israeli airline plane from Paris. [00:11:03] I want to tell you, me and my brother were the only non Jews on that airplane. [00:11:09] And when we got off that airplane in Tel Aviv, Israel, [00:11:13] I saw them Jews that had never, never been to their homeland [00:11:18] who were going home for the first time from Europe [00:11:21] kneeling down and kissing the ground. [00:11:25] And people say, well, there's no real Jews in Israel. [00:11:28] Well, you're an idiot because you obviously don't know history [00:11:32] with all the Ashkenazi Jews are not real Jews. [00:11:35] First of all, let me tell you, there's Mizrahi Jews, the Sephardic Jews. [00:11:40] There's Ethiopian Jews. [00:11:41] And you guess what? [00:11:42] You don't have to be an ethnic Jew to be a Jew. [00:11:45] You can be a convert to to become a Jew. Right. [00:11:50] There are real Jews in Israel. [00:11:51] And they came from every direction to fulfill the prophecy in Ezekiel, [00:11:56] to fulfill the prophecy in Jeremiah, [00:11:58] to fulfill those prophecies that God will bring his people home. [00:12:01] And in fact, Isaiah 11 says that they would be exiled twice [00:12:05] and brought back to their land twice. [00:12:07] Well, guess what? [00:12:08] The first time was under Nebuchadnezzar's invasion, [00:12:11] and they went into captivity for 70 years and they came home. [00:12:16] And then it happened again after Jesus came. [00:12:22] And guess what? [00:12:23] They were. Yeah, they were exiled from the land. [00:12:25] The land was no man's land for 1700 and something years. [00:12:30] I can't remember that until God decided it's time for them to come back home. [00:12:37] Now, do we know that all of Israel that is Israel? [00:12:41] Like, do we know everybody that's a Jew or not? [00:12:43] No, I'll tell you the truth. [00:12:44] We probably won't know because the ten tribes were scattered abroad. [00:12:50] Right. We don't know. [00:12:51] We may be surprised. [00:12:52] Some of us in here might be a lot Jewish and we don't know. [00:12:55] We don't even know it. [00:12:56] But here's the thing. [00:12:58] Don't sit there and tell me that the nation of Israel, [00:13:01] when God said I'm going to he was going to establish them. [00:13:04] In fact, it says in Isaiah 11 when he said they're going to come back two times. [00:13:09] He says I'm going to make them an inside, which if you look up the word inside, [00:13:12] it means a nation with a flag. [00:13:16] You know, their flag to wasn't supposed to be the Star of David, [00:13:20] which is really the Star of Rempen, [00:13:22] but it was really supposed to be the olive tree. [00:13:25] OK, but just like our our government has been infiltrated [00:13:31] by New World Order Luciferians, [00:13:32] their government's been infiltrated by New World Order Luciferians. [00:13:36] I mean, so we can sit here and point fingers all day long. [00:13:40] But God said he did not forsake his people, which he foreknew. [00:13:45] And he said he would gather them back to the land. [00:13:48] Many will die in the war that's coming. [00:13:53] He said there will be a remnant, though, of Jews, true Jews [00:13:57] in the land of Israel in the last days who will turn to Jesus [00:14:02] as their Messiah. Finally, their eyes will be open. [00:14:06] Now, this is Bible. [00:14:08] This is not your favorite little YouTube teacher. [00:14:13] You know, Paul said you have 10,000. [00:14:15] You may have 10,000 in 10,000 instructors in Jesus, but not many fathers, right? [00:14:20] Fathers are people who actually been in this thing long enough [00:14:23] to see through this foolishness that's out here. [00:14:25] And I'm going to tell you, there's tons of foolishness. [00:14:28] But all of this that we're watching is prophesied. [00:14:31] And the reason I'm talking about this this morning is because [00:14:34] something feels different this time about. [00:14:38] It just feels different. [00:14:40] And we can go ahead. [00:14:42] I'm just going to call this this morning, the wars and rumors of wars. [00:14:45] And let's just go through some scriptures here [00:14:50] and we're going to talk about the Gog and Magog war, [00:14:52] which is probably about to happen now. [00:14:55] It's also called the six Trumpet war. [00:14:57] It's not the same as Armageddon. [00:15:00] And there's another Gog Magog incident [00:15:03] that happened a thousand years later after the millennial right. [00:15:07] They're not the same thing. [00:15:10] But let's go go on here to the next one here. [00:15:13] I guess I need the clicker, don't I? [00:15:15] I guess I could do it myself, but turn this on. [00:15:19] There we go. [00:15:21] So let's read this Matthew 24. [00:15:22] We're just going to read verses three through nine here. [00:15:26] It says here, as he set upon the Mount of Olives, [00:15:29] the disciples came unto him privately to Jesus, saying, [00:15:33] tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign [00:15:35] of that coming of the end of the world? [00:15:37] And Jesus answered, said them, take heed that no man deceive you. [00:15:40] For many shall come in my name, saying, [00:15:42] I am Christ and shall deceive many. [00:15:44] And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars [00:15:46] and see that you be not troubled. [00:15:47] For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [00:15:52] Now, I want to tell you, we just had another round. [00:15:54] You know, it seems like every year now we get to the feast season. [00:15:57] You know, the Jewish feast season pass over through tabernacles. [00:16:01] Seems like we've got rapture, pre-rapture predictions. [00:16:06] Every we had them this year, we had them last year. [00:16:08] We had them in 2020. [00:16:09] I remember doing a message called what was pre-trippers gone wild [00:16:16] because, boy, they just predict that they predict them every single September. [00:16:20] We it's like we get in and I'm sitting here going, [00:16:23] yet when are they going to wake up and realize I love telling them [00:16:25] and it's not going to happen because we're here to the end, folks. [00:16:31] The rapture of the church or the first resurrection will happen at the end. [00:16:36] Not the beginning of the last seven years. [00:16:39] And that's why he says you're going to hear of these wars and rumors of wars, [00:16:41] not just rumors, but you're going to hear of wars, real wars. [00:16:45] And I mean, we got them going on. [00:16:47] If you think about what's going on, the Ukraine, Russia is at war. [00:16:51] Really, Russia and the United States is at war through the Ukraine. [00:16:55] All right. Which is not good for us. [00:16:57] But I've always known that we've got this other problem [00:17:00] and this other problem. [00:17:01] And I've been wondering when we were going to get around to it. [00:17:04] But of course, some of you have already heard [00:17:06] Israel's at war with Hamas after unprecedented attacks. [00:17:10] Well, it's a fact. We know it's a fact. [00:17:12] That Hamas is just a front organization for the nation of Iran. [00:17:18] All right. And Iran has vowed, in fact, their assembly [00:17:21] and their leaders for the last few decades have said, [00:17:24] we're going to wipe Israel off the map. [00:17:27] Now, what they're saying, the very words that they're saying [00:17:31] comes straight out of a prophecy in Psalm 83. [00:17:35] In fact, we're going to turn turn to Psalm 83 and we're going to read it. [00:17:40] This is a prophecy of basically the Gog Magog war as well. [00:17:48] We're going to be all over the Bible this morning, by the way. [00:17:52] Somebody say the Bible, not YouTube. [00:17:58] Hallelujah. So I'm banned from YouTube anyway. [00:18:01] So anyway, let's let's read this. [00:18:06] This is Psalm 83, verse one. [00:18:08] He says, Keep not silence, O God, hold not thy peace [00:18:14] and be not still, O God, for lo, thine enemies make a tumult. [00:18:18] And they that hate thee have lifted up the head. [00:18:21] Now, notice he says they that hate thee. [00:18:23] Who who hates the God of Israel? [00:18:26] The God of the Bible more than Muslims. [00:18:32] Just going to tell you that the truth, they hate Jesus. [00:18:34] He is the God of creation. [00:18:38] He says, lo, thine enemies make a tumult. [00:18:41] They hate they that hate thee have lifted up the head. [00:18:45] They have taken crafty counsel against thy people [00:18:48] and consulted against thy hidden ones. [00:18:51] They have said, Come, let us cut them off from being a nation [00:18:56] that the name of Israel may be no more remembered, [00:19:01] for they have consulted together with one consent. [00:19:04] They are a confederate against thee. [00:19:06] And then he begins to talk about the places, [00:19:08] the tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Arabs. [00:19:13] This Edom and Moab are the and Ammon are right now [00:19:17] is the the land of Jordan. [00:19:20] And he goes on to say your ball and Ammon and Amalek, [00:19:24] Tyree, Asher, which is Syria. [00:19:28] And he just goes on a list. [00:19:29] He says these these are going to come together [00:19:33] and say, let's wipe Israel off the map. [00:19:37] Let's let's remove them from being a nation. [00:19:40] Remove their name. [00:19:43] Now, this is prophetic of, of course, [00:19:48] and we're going to go to it, Ezekiel 38 and 39. [00:19:53] You can go there. [00:19:55] Let's go ahead and put that back up. [00:19:56] And then you go to Ezekiel 38, 39. [00:19:59] This is known as the Gog Magog war. [00:20:00] And what baffles me, too, and I'm going to show you here. [00:20:04] Now, this is something I've preached before, [00:20:06] but, you know, we never preach. [00:20:11] You know, we never just preach something new every day. [00:20:14] We guess sometimes we got to cover ground again. [00:20:17] You know, we don't preach salvation once. [00:20:18] We don't preach the baptism, the Holy Spirit once. [00:20:20] We don't preach biblical creation once. [00:20:23] So I actually went back. [00:20:24] This is actually a PowerPoint, part of a PowerPoint [00:20:27] from 2017, where I talked about this. [00:20:33] But anyway, these are your verses. [00:20:34] We probably won't get to Zechariah 12, [00:20:36] but you can read that for yourself later. [00:20:37] But let's go. [00:20:39] Y'all go ahead and put up Ezekiel 38. [00:20:40] We're going to start there. [00:20:42] Let's read some of this. [00:20:44] And I'll tell you right now, [00:20:45] if you don't have a King James version, [00:20:47] you're going to not understand this [00:20:49] because it's actually changed in other versions, [00:20:51] but it's correct in this one. [00:20:54] And there's a very key point to let you know [00:20:58] that this is talking about something different [00:21:01] than what happens after the millennial reign. [00:21:04] Well, let's start reading. [00:21:04] This is Ezekiel 38. [00:21:06] And the word of the Lord came unto me saying, [00:21:07] "'Son of man, set thy face against Gog, [00:21:10] "'and the land of Magog, and the chief prince [00:21:12] "'of Meshach and Tubal, and prophesy against them. [00:21:15] "'And say thus, saith the Lord God, [00:21:17] "'behold, I am against thee, O Gog, [00:21:19] "'and the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, [00:21:21] "'and I will turn thee back, [00:21:23] "'and I will put hooks into thy jaws, [00:21:25] "'and I will bring thee forth in all thine army, [00:21:28] "'horses and horsemen, all of them clothed [00:21:30] "'with all sorts of armor, even a great company, [00:21:33] "'with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.'" [00:21:36] And then he says, who? [00:21:38] Persia. [00:21:39] Well, what is Persia? [00:21:41] Do you know that Iran was Persia up until 1934, 35? [00:21:47] It's still Persia, folks. [00:21:49] And they'll tell you even though that you ask them [00:21:51] who they are, they'll say, I'm Persia, right? [00:21:54] So he says that we're gonna have Persia, Ethiopia, [00:21:58] Libya with them, and all them with shield and helmet, [00:22:02] Gomer, and all his bands, and the house of Togarmah, [00:22:06] of the north quarters, this is Turkey. [00:22:11] He says in all his bands, he says, [00:22:12] "'Be thou prepared, and prepare thyself, [00:22:14] "'for thou and all thy company that are assembled [00:22:18] "'under thee, and be thou a guard unto them, [00:22:20] "'after many days thou shalt be visited.'" [00:22:23] And he tells us when this is gonna happen. [00:22:25] In the latter years or in the last days, [00:22:28] that's what this term means. [00:22:30] In the last days, thou shalt come into the land [00:22:34] that is brought back from the sword. [00:22:35] He's talking about the land of Israel. [00:22:37] And is gathered out of many people [00:22:40] against the mountains of Israel, [00:22:41] not the mountains of America, the mountains of Israel, [00:22:45] which have been always waste, [00:22:47] but it is brought forth out of the nations, [00:22:50] and they shall dwell safely all of them. [00:22:52] Now, this is what's amazing. [00:22:53] This verse nine, this is long before they invented airplanes. [00:22:58] And he says to them about this army, [00:23:01] they're going to ascend into the air and come like a storm. [00:23:10] Think about that right there. [00:23:12] They're gonna ascend and come like a storm. [00:23:15] And thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, [00:23:17] and all thy bands, and many people with thee. [00:23:20] And thus saith the Lord, it shall also come to pass, [00:23:23] that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, [00:23:26] and thou shalt think in evil thought, [00:23:27] and thou shalt say, I will go up [00:23:29] to the land of unwalled villages, [00:23:31] and I will go to them that are at rest, [00:23:32] and them that dwell safely, [00:23:34] all of them dwelling without walls, [00:23:36] and having neither bars nor gates, [00:23:38] to take spoil and to take prey, [00:23:41] to turn thy hand upon the desolate places [00:23:44] that are now inhabited, [00:23:44] and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, [00:23:47] which have gotten cattle and goods, [00:23:49] and that dwell in the midst of the land. [00:23:51] I mean, right now, Israel, [00:23:52] the people of Israel turned a wasteland, [00:23:56] no man's land, into an oasis, [00:24:00] with cattle, and their fruits, [00:24:03] and vegetables, and water. [00:24:07] I mean, they've transformed that place. [00:24:10] They export all this food out of the desert. [00:24:18] You know, Isaiah prophesied that in Israel, [00:24:20] the desert would blossom, fulfilled prophecy. [00:24:25] He says that these people were gathered [00:24:27] out of all these nations and brought back, [00:24:29] and then there's gonna be a day [00:24:30] that all these Arab nations, [00:24:33] along with this, whoever this Gog and Magog is, [00:24:37] is going to come together. [00:24:38] Persia, Iran, they're gonna come together, [00:24:41] and notice it says, when he says Gog and Magog, [00:24:43] he talks about Persia next, [00:24:45] and I'm gonna show you Gog and Magog is. [00:24:47] We know, you don't even have to speculate. [00:24:49] There's no speculation, there's no guesswork about it. [00:24:52] We know exactly who Gog and Magog is. [00:24:55] We're gonna find out, without any shadow of a doubt. [00:25:00] Let's go to this. [00:25:02] Just remember, you see this little area up here? [00:25:06] Anybody know where we are right here? [00:25:08] Right, so here's the Mediterranean Sea. [00:25:11] Down here's Israel. [00:25:13] Above here, this is Turkey. [00:25:16] Now, this is the Black Sea. [00:25:18] Right above here, you have Ukraine, [00:25:23] which one reason, listen, one reason Russia [00:25:25] wants the Ukraine back is because it was basically [00:25:28] the beginning of their civilization. [00:25:32] But it was first called Scythia. [00:25:35] This is historical, geographical fact. [00:25:39] Where is that? [00:25:40] Right above the Black Sea. [00:25:41] Well, what is right above the Black Sea now? [00:25:44] The Ukraine, then what? [00:25:46] Russia. [00:25:48] The Ukraine used to be part of Russia, right? [00:25:53] But you see that, Scythia, right? [00:25:56] Everybody see it? [00:26:00] Now, the Rothschilds did that. [00:26:02] No, they didn't. [00:26:03] Here's your different, this is an 1874 map [00:26:06] that showed you what I was talking about, [00:26:08] Gomer, Togarmah, Meshech and Tubal. [00:26:11] This is Turkey area, and then above the Black Sea. [00:26:16] We know now it's Russia. [00:26:18] Now, Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, [00:26:22] our students ought to know this [00:26:23] from our fire and grace school of ministry, [00:26:25] especially our graduates. [00:26:27] This right here is straight from [00:26:29] the complete works of Josephus, [00:26:31] and this is what he said. [00:26:33] He says, after they were dispersed abroad [00:26:35] in the count of their languages [00:26:37] and went out by colonies everywhere, [00:26:39] and each colony took possession of that land [00:26:41] into which God led them. [00:26:43] Magog founded those that from him were named Magogites, [00:26:48] but who are by the Greeks called the Scythians. [00:26:52] Everybody see that? [00:26:54] Now, no one disputes, not even secular historians, [00:26:58] that Josephus is not an accurate historian, okay? [00:27:03] And he's telling you from the time of the Tower of Babel, [00:27:06] when they were dispersed because of their languages, [00:27:09] the Magog founded those that were named from him. [00:27:13] So Magog was a person, [00:27:16] and his descendants were the Magogites, [00:27:18] but the Greeks decided to call them the Scythians. [00:27:22] And we saw, and he says, the Encyclopedia Britannica says, [00:27:25] the Scythian is a member of a nomadic people [00:27:27] originally from where? [00:27:29] Iranian stock, isn't that interesting? [00:27:32] So the ancient Iranians are related to the Russians. [00:27:39] Oh, then he goes on to say that they migrated [00:27:44] from Central Asia to Southern Russia [00:27:47] in the eighth and seventh centuries BC. [00:27:49] Scythians founded a rich and powerful empire [00:27:52] that survived for several centuries in what is now Russia. [00:27:57] And the Russians, you can find it in this book, [00:28:00] I love this book, I think it came out in about 2006, I think. [00:28:05] And I don't agree with him on every, [00:28:07] I think he's a preacher of God, [00:28:09] but he does good research. [00:28:10] With this by Joel C. Rosenberg, Epicenter, [00:28:14] oh, 2000, yeah, this came out in 2006, [00:28:17] because he was in Russia in 2004. [00:28:19] And I said, this is confirmed by New York Times [00:28:21] bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg [00:28:23] when he was in Russia in 2004 doing research [00:28:26] for his book, The Ezekiel Option, he wrote, [00:28:28] so while we were in Moscow, [00:28:30] we toured the state historical museum, [00:28:34] sure enough, as we spent several hours [00:28:35] walking the floors of the enormous red brick building, [00:28:38] facing Red Square, we found in glass case after glass case, [00:28:42] numerous Scythian artifacts dug up by Russian archeologists [00:28:46] and anthropologists and all on display [00:28:49] in the Russian equivalent of our Smithsonian. [00:28:51] Not only was the Russia's Scythian heritage real, [00:28:55] as we learned, but the Russian government [00:28:57] was proud to let the whole world know. [00:29:00] So it's no mystery that the Russian government [00:29:04] so it's no mystery who Gog and Magog is, it's Russia. [00:29:12] And Russia will be allied with Iran, Syria, Persian nations. [00:29:18] Well, guess who are Russia's top allies in the Middle East? [00:29:24] Iran first in Syria. [00:29:30] I mean, this is, again, facts. [00:29:32] Now, I believe the Gog-Magog war [00:29:34] is also prophesied and revealed [00:29:36] in what we are gonna call the Six Trumpet War. [00:29:39] See, I believe five of the trumpets [00:29:40] have already been blown. [00:29:43] You may not believe that, you may not agree with that. [00:29:46] That's your prerogative, but this is what I believe. [00:29:48] All right, but this hadn't happened yet. [00:29:52] And this is one for the Preterist. [00:29:57] Hadn't happened yet, bucco. [00:30:02] And the Six Angels sounded, [00:30:05] and I heard a voice from the four horns of the Golden Altar, [00:30:07] which is before God, saying to the Six Angel, [00:30:10] which had the trumpet loose the four angels, [00:30:12] which were bound in the Great River Euphrates, [00:30:13] and the four angels were loosed, [00:30:15] which prepared for an hour, a day, a month, and a year [00:30:17] to slay the third part of men. [00:30:21] And the number of the army of the horsemen [00:30:22] were 200,000, or 200 million. [00:30:26] And I heard the number of them, [00:30:27] and thus I saw the horses in the vision, [00:30:29] and them that sat on them having breastplates of fire, [00:30:31] and just seeing the brimstone, [00:30:33] and the heads of the horses, [00:30:34] whereas the heads of lions and out of their mouths [00:30:36] issued fire, and smoke, and brimstone. [00:30:39] And by these three was the third part of men [00:30:41] killed by fire, and by the smoke, [00:30:43] and by the brimstone which issued out of their mouths. [00:30:46] Now never in the history of mankind [00:30:48] has one third of the population of the world [00:30:51] been killed by fire in a war. [00:30:55] Not has, it's not happened. [00:30:57] So the Preterist's crap goes right out the window, okay? [00:31:02] Jesus did not come in 70 A.D. [00:31:04] All the stars did not fall from heaven in 70 A.D. [00:31:09] One third of mankind was not killed in 70 A.D. [00:31:12] And we know from church history, [00:31:14] Irenaeus and everybody else [00:31:16] that the book of Revelation was not written [00:31:18] until 95 to 96 A.D. by the Apostle John. [00:31:23] So to say everything was fulfilled in 70 A.D. [00:31:25] is the most idiotic false doctrine I've ever heard. [00:31:30] And if you fall for it, you've been deceived. [00:31:33] I don't care how happy and joyful, [00:31:35] and you bounce around as a molarite. [00:31:44] This right here is what happens next. [00:31:46] Now what's interesting is he tells us [00:31:50] that there's four fallen angels bound [00:31:52] in the Great River Euphrates. [00:31:56] And I'm sorry, I will name your name. [00:31:57] If you wanna teach false doctrine to my church, [00:31:59] your name's gonna get named. [00:32:04] So if that offends you, too bad. [00:32:09] He says there's four angels bound [00:32:10] in the Great River Euphrates. [00:32:12] And it's interesting to me [00:32:14] because fallen angels are territorial. [00:32:17] They have regions. [00:32:18] Remember the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia, [00:32:20] the Prince of Grisha. [00:32:21] Remember that from Daniel 10. [00:32:23] It's interesting that the Euphrates River starts in Turkey, [00:32:27] moves through Syria, Iraq, [00:32:29] and then touches Iran for about 50 miles down here [00:32:32] before it empties into the Persian Gulf. [00:32:33] Four nations are touched by this river. [00:32:36] And there's four fallen angels bound [00:32:39] in the Great River Euphrates, [00:32:40] but when they are loosed, [00:32:45] they are going to start this war. [00:32:48] They are going to move situations. [00:32:51] Now, am I saying that this skirmish now in Israel is it? [00:32:58] I don't know. [00:32:58] We will see, but it very well could be. [00:33:02] Just because of where we are now in this timeline. [00:33:06] But this is very important for you to understand. [00:33:10] These things are very specific, these prophecies are. [00:33:13] Now, folks, one third of mankind being killed. [00:33:17] There's eight billion people now. [00:33:21] So we're talking about over two billion. [00:33:27] You know, in all of World War II, only 60 million people, [00:33:31] I say only, but 60 million people, that's a big number. [00:33:35] But that nowhere approached one third of mankind. [00:33:41] And that war was horrible. [00:33:45] Can you imagine a war that kills one third of mankind? [00:33:53] And it doesn't say by a vaccine. [00:33:57] I've got people trying to tell me, [00:33:58] oh, this saying, this six trumpet war is not a real war. [00:34:05] It's the vaccine killing people. [00:34:07] I mean, there are people gotta, listen, folks, [00:34:08] there are theories upon theories upon theories [00:34:11] upon interpretations upon interpretations [00:34:13] that people just draw out of the sky somewhere. [00:34:18] I don't know where they get it. [00:34:20] We stick to the Bible. [00:34:21] It says there's gonna be a war [00:34:24] that's gonna last a year, a month, an hour, a day. [00:34:28] How specific is that? [00:34:33] But that war in, you know, World War II was six years long. [00:34:37] I mean, World War I was four years. [00:34:39] We're talking about in just a little over a year, [00:34:42] one third of mankind being killed. [00:34:43] The only way that can happen [00:34:46] is the release of nuclear weapons. [00:34:50] Now, Israel has made it clear. [00:34:53] They call it the Samson option. [00:34:56] They have made it clear that if they feel [00:34:58] they're going to be overrun, overtaken [00:35:01] by conventional forces, that they can't fight [00:35:05] or they can't beat. [00:35:08] They said they will turn Iran. [00:35:10] And they told Iran, we will turn you into black glass. [00:35:20] They will use, and Israel has probably [00:35:22] somewhere around 200 to 300 nuclear weapons. [00:35:26] And then there's people out there [00:35:27] who say nuclear weapons are a hoax. [00:35:28] No, they're not. [00:35:30] You're going to see them. [00:35:32] That's why the Bible said in the last days, [00:35:33] you will see blood and fire and pillars of smoke. [00:35:38] Pillars. [00:35:43] It's real. [00:35:44] Nuclear weapons are real. [00:35:46] In fact, Nancy's dad was part of, [00:35:49] in the Air Force, was part of Operation Dominic, [00:35:52] Operation Fishbowl. [00:35:54] He was there. [00:35:55] He said they messed up and detonated. [00:35:58] They had a nuclear, most of the nuclear weapons [00:36:01] were lithium-6, and they said, [00:36:03] well, we're going to make one with lithium-7. [00:36:04] And they thought up in it just a little bit, [00:36:06] was just make it a little bit more powerful. [00:36:08] And it was like, I can't remember now, [00:36:10] 20 times more powerful, nearly killed everybody there. [00:36:13] Because they underestimated that little [00:36:17] lithium-6 to lithium-7 thing. [00:36:22] Yeah, the detonation of nuclear weapons [00:36:24] has happened all over the world, folks. [00:36:26] We did it. [00:36:27] Russia's done it. [00:36:29] England, France, all these nations. [00:36:32] Now Pakistan. [00:36:34] And Pakistan's nuclear weapons, [00:36:35] we don't know how many they've sold to Saudi Arabia. [00:36:39] And actually, how many of you know that Bush [00:36:41] and Prime Minister of England, back a little, [00:36:45] number of years ago, Cameron, [00:36:46] let certain nuclear weapons go missing? [00:36:51] We don't know who have. [00:36:52] It's about seven, eight, nine of them. [00:36:53] We don't even know where they are, who got them. [00:36:56] Turkey, we have nuclear weapons in Turkey [00:36:58] that are not secure. [00:37:00] The Turkish government could overtake our bases [00:37:02] and seize our nuclear weapons we have there. [00:37:06] Things can get out of hand real quick. [00:37:09] And it's going to at some point. [00:37:11] Now, let's go back real quick here. [00:37:19] Let's go back to Ezekiel. [00:37:22] So we're reading that, Ezekiel 38. [00:37:30] We're gonna jump over, jump down a little bit. [00:37:36] Verse 14. [00:37:38] Y'all don't mind us, do you? [00:37:40] You learning something? [00:37:43] You know, studied this for a lot of years, folks. [00:37:51] And that's another thing too. [00:37:53] Before you teach some doctrine, [00:37:56] you best know what you're talking about. [00:37:59] And sometimes it takes time. [00:38:01] It takes time to study it out. [00:38:02] It takes time for some things to unfold. [00:38:04] It takes time to research history. [00:38:06] And these people just jump on the internet. [00:38:08] I got people just telling me all kind of crazy things. [00:38:13] And you know, they get mad at me if I go, [00:38:14] no, sorry, not in the Bible. [00:38:18] Or, well, just look at all my stuff. [00:38:20] And I'm like, I don't have to. [00:38:22] I can look at right here. [00:38:24] I mean, this one person told me, [00:38:25] this woman that says America was Israel. [00:38:29] And I said, so you're gonna tell me, [00:38:30] I mean, everything she said, I said, [00:38:32] Jesus was crucified here in American soil [00:38:34] in North America and not in the Middle East. [00:38:37] Yes, that's what she said. [00:38:39] Are you gonna tell me the city of Rome, [00:38:40] the Roman Empire was not at a Rome, Italy, but where? [00:38:43] Here in America, yes. [00:38:44] She said that, yes, it's here. [00:38:46] And I'm like, you're trying to undo all of history, [00:38:51] all of archeology, all of everything we know to be true. [00:38:56] I mean, I'm sorry, but the Colosseum is in Italy. [00:39:01] The Vatican is in Italy. [00:39:05] And she told me, you know, Rome is Washington DC. [00:39:08] That's where Rome was when Jesus, [00:39:09] and Jesus was crucified somewhere in Utah, I think. [00:39:15] She, but she's serious about this. [00:39:18] She is dead serious. [00:39:21] And I'm just like, you know, I've been to Israel. [00:39:26] I said, look, I've been to Israel. [00:39:27] I've been to Golgotha. [00:39:28] I've looked at it. [00:39:29] I've stood on top of it. [00:39:32] I've walked in the Garden Tomb, [00:39:34] which is exactly where the Bible says, [00:39:36] right outside of Damascus Gate of the old city. [00:39:39] I've been there, stood there. [00:39:42] No, I said, Utah somewhere. [00:39:49] And I'm just like, [00:39:51] this person should not be teaching anyone the Bible. [00:39:54] First of all, I'll tell you the truth. [00:39:55] They're not a pastor. [00:39:57] They're not called to do this. [00:40:00] You know what they said in the first minute of the video? [00:40:02] I'm just gonna give it to you. [00:40:03] That they went to IHOP in Kansas City [00:40:05] and three people prophesied over. [00:40:06] I said, well, there you go. [00:40:10] And I told her, I said, that's why another thing, [00:40:13] I can't trust that the thing comes out of your mouth. [00:40:17] Because if you didn't discern what was going on [00:40:18] at IHOP in Kansas City, you're not my Bible teacher, right? [00:40:27] Help us, Lord. [00:40:33] The Middle East is real. [00:40:36] A lot of stuff happened there. [00:40:39] Verse 14, he goes down and he says, [00:40:42] thou therefore, Son of Man prophesied and say unto God, [00:40:44] thus saith the Lord God, [00:40:45] in that day when my people of Israel dwellest safely, [00:40:48] thou shalt not, shalt thou not know it. [00:40:51] And thou shalt come from the place out of the north parts. [00:40:55] Thou and many people with thee, [00:40:57] all of them riding upon horses and a great company [00:41:00] and a mighty army. [00:41:00] Now, folks a lot of the time say, [00:41:02] well, he's talking about horses, guess what? [00:41:04] Most all special forces units now have horses in them. [00:41:08] A lot of people don't know that. [00:41:09] Even ours, they use horses. [00:41:14] He says here in verse 16, he says, [00:41:16] thou shalt come up against my people of Israel [00:41:18] as a cloud to cover the land. [00:41:19] And that shall be in the latter days. [00:41:21] Somebody say latter days. [00:41:23] Last days. [00:41:25] I will bring thee against my land [00:41:27] that the heathen may know me [00:41:30] when I shall be sanctified in thee, [00:41:32] oh God, before their eyes. [00:41:34] So the Lord is saying, [00:41:36] I'm gonna bring you on in [00:41:40] and the world's gonna know [00:41:43] that I am the Lord. [00:41:44] How are they gonna know? [00:41:44] Because it's been foretold for 2,600 years. [00:41:49] That exactly this would happen in the last days. [00:41:55] And you say, Pastor Dean, [00:41:57] I wish you wouldn't scare me like this. [00:42:00] Let me tell you, this is not about scaring you. [00:42:02] This is about being able to say, [00:42:04] you knew and you heard it before it happened. [00:42:09] Because it's gonna happen. [00:42:11] And prophecy is one of the ways God has said, [00:42:14] you will know that I am the Lord, [00:42:16] the creator, the one true God, [00:42:20] because of the prophecies I gave you, right? [00:42:26] Can we keep going? [00:42:27] I gotta just read it [00:42:28] and keep preaching in between everyone. [00:42:29] And he says, the heathen will know. [00:42:33] Then verse 17, [00:42:33] thus saith the Lord God, [00:42:35] art thou he whom I have spoken in old time [00:42:37] of my servants, the prophets of Israel, [00:42:40] which prophesied in those days many years [00:42:42] that I would bring thee against them. [00:42:43] And it shall come to pass at the same time [00:42:46] when God shall come against the land of Israel, [00:42:48] saith the Lord, [00:42:49] God that my fury shall come up in my face. [00:42:52] For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath [00:42:56] have I spoken, surely in that day, [00:42:58] there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel, [00:43:02] so that the fishes of the sea and the founts of heaven [00:43:05] and the beasts of the field [00:43:06] and all creeping things that creep upon the earth [00:43:08] and all the men that are upon the face of the earth [00:43:10] shall shake at my presence. [00:43:15] Boy, don't you know when this goes down, [00:43:18] the trembling that will come upon the whole world, [00:43:23] the shaking. [00:43:25] Our hearts will fail them. [00:43:26] Jesus said for fear [00:43:28] because of the things coming upon the world. [00:43:31] And he says there's gonna be this great shaking [00:43:33] and the mountains shall be thrown down [00:43:35] and the steep places shall fall [00:43:37] and every wall shall fall to the ground. [00:43:39] And I will call for a sword against him [00:43:41] throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God, [00:43:43] every man's sword shall be against his brother. [00:43:46] And I will plead against him with pestilence [00:43:48] and with blood and I will reign upon him [00:43:51] and upon his bands and upon the many people [00:43:54] that are with him and overflowing rain [00:43:56] of great hailstones, fire and brimstone. [00:43:59] Thus will I magnify myself and sanctify myself. [00:44:03] I will be known in the eyes of many nations. [00:44:06] They shall know that I am the Lord. [00:44:11] So God says when they do this, [00:44:14] when they move against Israel, [00:44:18] when they move in the land, [00:44:20] when this war happens, [00:44:22] everybody's gonna know that I am the Lord. [00:44:26] Why? [00:44:27] Because it's foretold in the Old Testament [00:44:29] and the New Testament. [00:44:32] Your world's gonna change. [00:44:35] Because we didn't think, [00:44:37] you think about the people back in 1940s. [00:44:42] The World War I's going, [00:44:44] they had no idea that a little project [00:44:47] was going on called the Manhattan Project. [00:44:52] And then all of a sudden, [00:44:54] weapons appear on the scene [00:44:55] that destroy entire cities, one bomb. [00:45:00] And the ones we have now, [00:45:02] the ones Russia has now, [00:45:03] the one they call Satan, [00:45:05] the nuclear missile they call Satan, [00:45:12] the Nakasaki, what is it? [00:45:15] Hiroshima bomb, nothing compared to what we have now. [00:45:19] Now, I don't believe they're gonna go crazy, [00:45:22] completely crazy, or no one would be left. [00:45:27] So they'll probably use smaller tactical nukes. [00:45:30] They'll probably use some neutron bombs [00:45:33] that are less destructive. [00:45:36] But think about this. [00:45:37] If you're gonna kill one third of mankind, [00:45:41] there's gonna be some serious stuff going on. [00:45:45] But God says, in the midst of all this, [00:45:48] I am going to be glorified. [00:45:51] People are going to know. [00:45:54] People want a sign. [00:45:55] You know, people keep saying, [00:45:56] why didn't God just show himself? [00:45:58] You really want that. [00:46:00] Because he's about to. [00:46:04] Then it goes into chapter 39. [00:46:06] He says, therefore thou son of man, [00:46:08] prophesy against God, [00:46:11] and thus saith the Lord, [00:46:12] behold, I am against thee, O God, [00:46:14] the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, [00:46:17] and I will turn thee back, [00:46:19] and leave but a sixth part of thee. [00:46:21] That's the part I said, if it's not in your Bible, [00:46:24] you need to get a Bible that has this. [00:46:27] He says, I will turn thee back, [00:46:28] and leave but a sixth part of thee, [00:46:30] and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, [00:46:32] and bring thee upon the mountains of Israel. [00:46:34] And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, [00:46:37] and will cause thine arrows to fall [00:46:39] out of thy right hand, [00:46:41] and thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, [00:46:44] thou and all thy bands, [00:46:45] and the people that are with thee. [00:46:47] I will give thee into the ravenous birds [00:46:49] of every sort to the beast of the field, [00:46:51] to be devoured. [00:46:52] Thou shalt fall upon the open field, [00:46:54] for I have spoken it, saith the Lord, [00:46:57] the Lord God rather, [00:46:58] and he said, I will send fire upon Magog, [00:47:01] and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles. [00:47:03] Now notice he says two different things here. [00:47:05] I will send fire upon Magog, Russia, [00:47:09] and upon those who dwell carelessly in the isles. [00:47:12] I think that's where we're gonna get some of this. [00:47:15] There's no nation that dwells more carelessly [00:47:17] than the United States of America. [00:47:22] We're gonna be hit in this too. [00:47:25] He says, so will I make my holy name known. [00:47:29] Everybody see that? [00:47:30] God said, I will make my holy name known [00:47:33] in the midst of my people Israel, [00:47:34] and I will not let them pollute my holy name anymore. [00:47:39] And the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, [00:47:42] the holy one in Israel. [00:47:45] Behold it is come, [00:47:47] and it is done, sayeth the Lord God, [00:47:49] this is the day whereof I have spoken, [00:47:51] and they that dwell in the cities of Israel [00:47:53] shall go forth, and they shall set on fire, [00:47:56] and burn the weapons, both the shields, [00:47:59] and the bucklers, and the bows, and the arrows, [00:48:00] and the handstaves, and the spears, [00:48:02] and they shall burn them with fire seven years. [00:48:06] Now I'm just gonna stop right here. [00:48:07] It's important he says seven years, isn't it? [00:48:09] Why not five? [00:48:10] Why not 10? [00:48:12] Why not three? [00:48:12] Why is it seven years? [00:48:15] I think it's because this war is probably [00:48:17] what starts the last seven years, [00:48:19] and that's all the time they got. [00:48:23] But they're gonna burn these weapons for seven years. [00:48:26] Why would they burn them? [00:48:27] Think about it. [00:48:29] Nuclear contamination. [00:48:32] Burn them, bury them. [00:48:35] You have to get rid of them somehow. [00:48:37] I mean, when the Russians were trying [00:48:39] to put out the Chernobyl fire, [00:48:42] they just had to leave everything there. [00:48:44] All the helicopters they used to dump water, [00:48:45] everything just had to stay there, [00:48:47] because everything was radioactive, [00:48:53] and it just looks like a big, massive graveyard. [00:48:57] But they're gonna burn these things [00:48:58] with fire for seven years. [00:48:59] Now this lets me know, number one, [00:49:02] this is not happening in the millennial ranks, folks. [00:49:05] This is not happening at the end. [00:49:07] Yeah, God says there's gonna be another Gog Magog [00:49:09] stirring up that Satan's gonna do [00:49:11] after he's loosed for a thousand years. [00:49:13] But there's not gonna be any, [00:49:16] the people of Israel having to burn weapons [00:49:17] for seven years, fire's gonna come down from God himself [00:49:21] and take care of every bit of that little rebellion, [00:49:23] instantaneously, okay? [00:49:27] That's a separate Gog Magog issue. [00:49:30] This one, I believe, happens before or starts, [00:49:33] somewhere in the beginning of these last days. [00:49:37] Now Armageddon, how do we know Armageddon is different? [00:49:40] Because he says about this army [00:49:42] that comes against Israel in here, [00:49:44] that he's gonna leave a sixth part of them. [00:49:46] He's gonna let a sixth part of them survive. [00:49:50] Why do you let people survive? [00:49:51] So they can go back and tell what happened, all right? [00:49:58] But here's the deal. [00:49:59] At Armageddon, after the mark of the beast [00:50:03] and all the armies of the world [00:50:04] that are gathered together at Armageddon, [00:50:07] those will be the armies that have followed the beast, [00:50:10] that have taken the mark of the beast. [00:50:12] And God says when Jesus returns, all of them will die [00:50:17] and the blood will run to the horse's bridle, [00:50:19] there'll be so many dead. [00:50:25] No one's gonna be left to the armies of the Antichrist, [00:50:27] not a one. [00:50:31] So this is how we know that Armageddon [00:50:33] and Gog and Magog war are two different events. [00:50:37] I believe Gog Magog war is gonna start somewhere [00:50:39] in the beginning of the tribulation period. [00:50:43] And then we're gonna have Armageddon [00:50:45] at the end of the tribulation period. [00:50:48] Jesus returns to fight the armies there [00:50:50] and destroys them all, all the armies. [00:50:55] And then we have the thousand year millennial reign [00:50:58] of Jesus on the earth, [00:51:00] not some mythical 1000 year reign [00:51:06] that nobody saw, Preterist. [00:51:13] I mean, the Bible tells us in Isaiah [00:51:15] that when we get to the millennial reign [00:51:17] that all the weapons of war, [00:51:20] even the swords are beaten into plowshares. [00:51:22] There are no weapons of war for a thousand years. [00:51:26] That's never happened before. [00:51:29] Again, Preterism is foolishness. [00:51:34] And what Preterism is about, [00:51:36] these false doctrines about the last days [00:51:38] and who's Israel and who's Gog and Magog, [00:51:40] all these false teachings out there, [00:51:41] it is to distract from us seeing the fulfilled prophecy. [00:51:47] That's all it is. [00:51:48] Because the Lord says all of this is gonna happen [00:51:51] is my judgment upon the wicked, [00:51:55] the enemies of my people, [00:51:58] both the Jews and the Christians. [00:52:00] He said, I will avenge. [00:52:03] Oh, why y'all didn't hear me? [00:52:08] He said, this is about showing his great wrath. [00:52:16] And then he said, the heathen will know, [00:52:18] my people will know, everybody's gonna know [00:52:23] that I am the Lord. [00:52:27] Isn't it amazing? [00:52:29] The Lord's like, well, they keep asking for a sign. [00:52:37] Here's your sign, right? [00:52:42] Russia. [00:52:43] So, and this is another thing. [00:52:45] This ought to teach everybody a lesson too. [00:52:47] You cannot just speculate with these things [00:52:49] of Bible doctrine and prophecy. [00:52:52] You don't get to speculate. [00:52:54] You have to have scripture to back up scripture, [00:52:58] archeology, history, geography. [00:53:02] And then you look at the current events. [00:53:04] Are they lining up? [00:53:06] Just like the Bible foretold. [00:53:09] Exactly. [00:53:10] Now, I'm gonna show you something else. [00:53:12] There's a prophecy. [00:53:14] We're gonna go to Jeremiah 49. [00:53:15] These are some of the pictures that I gave you. [00:53:16] Just get them ready. [00:53:20] I'm gonna show you a little thing that, [00:53:22] the Bible is amazing. [00:53:26] How many ever heard of Elam? [00:53:28] The judgment of Elam. [00:53:31] Anybody? [00:53:33] Okay, so you're gonna learn something today. [00:53:34] All right, we got one. [00:53:38] Jeremiah, let me get there. [00:53:40] 49. [00:53:42] Actually, let me just pull it up right here. [00:53:47] All right, go to Jeremiah 49 [00:53:49] and we're gonna go to verse 34. [00:53:52] And I'm gonna show you something's gonna blow your mind. [00:53:56] This is a prophecy. [00:53:57] Remember that these, the end of Jeremiah's, [00:54:00] these prophecies, some of them were for nations [00:54:04] at that time that would happen. [00:54:05] And then some of them were for distant things [00:54:07] that would happen. [00:54:08] That never did happen. [00:54:09] This is very interesting. [00:54:11] All right, so let's read it. [00:54:13] 34, the word of the Lord [00:54:15] that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam [00:54:18] and the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah [00:54:21] saying, thus saith the Lord of hosts, [00:54:24] behold, I will break the bow of Elam. [00:54:26] Now let's pause for a second. [00:54:28] Didn't we just read that in Ezekiel 39 [00:54:31] where he said, I'm gonna break their bows, right? [00:54:33] Same language, and whenever God used same language, [00:54:36] you didn't pay attention. [00:54:37] He says, I wanna break their bow of Elam, [00:54:40] the chief of, and listen to this, [00:54:42] notice in this phrase, the chief of their might. [00:54:45] Remember that. [00:54:46] The chief of their might. [00:54:47] And upon Elam will I bring the four winds [00:54:51] from the four quarters of heaven [00:54:53] and I will scatter them toward all the winds [00:54:55] and there shall be no nation [00:54:57] whether the outcast of Elam shall not come. [00:55:00] Now they're gonna be scattered to all the nations, [00:55:02] this region of Elam. [00:55:05] For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies [00:55:09] and before them that seek their life [00:55:10] and I will bring evil upon them. [00:55:12] Even my fierce anger, sayeth the Lord, [00:55:15] and I will send the sword after them [00:55:17] till I have consumed them. [00:55:19] And I will set my throne in Elam [00:55:22] and will destroy from thence the king [00:55:24] and the princes, sayeth the Lord, [00:55:26] but it shall come to pass when? [00:55:29] In the latter days, in the last days [00:55:32] that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, [00:55:34] sayeth the Lord. [00:55:35] Now Elam, where is the Elam region? [00:55:37] Put up the Elam region one first. [00:55:41] So here is an old map, Syria, Babylonia, [00:55:46] we're going back into way back. [00:55:49] Here is the region of Elam. [00:55:51] Notice it says the Persians are here. [00:55:53] Well, remember when I showed you that map [00:55:55] of the Euphrates and the Tigris coming into, [00:55:57] what was right here? [00:56:00] That's where Iran is. [00:56:01] Let's look at the modern map here. [00:56:06] That's where Elam is, right here. [00:56:08] And guess what else is there? [00:56:10] The Bashir nuclear reactor. [00:56:14] It's in Elam. [00:56:16] Who built the Bashir nuclear reactor? [00:56:20] Well, the Germans started building it for them, [00:56:24] the Iranians in the 1970s, [00:56:26] and then it got stopped [00:56:27] when the revolution happened in Iran. [00:56:30] Then guess who came in [00:56:32] and completely finished the building [00:56:34] and established Iran as a nuclear power? [00:56:38] Russia. [00:56:42] This is where they get their nuclear material [00:56:45] from to build nuclear weapons. [00:56:49] Now, Iran has stated if they ever successfully [00:56:52] build a nuclear weapon [00:56:54] that they're going to use it on Israel. [00:56:56] They've told that publicly. [00:56:58] It's nothing hidden. [00:56:59] And let's just show you the other one. [00:57:01] Here's a, you can just look up the Elam. [00:57:03] Elam was a region in the near east [00:57:04] corresponding to the modern day provinces [00:57:06] of Elam and Kuzakstan in the southern Iran. [00:57:11] So there you have it there. [00:57:15] But this area is an area [00:57:20] that if Israel and Iran go to full war, [00:57:25] this will be one of the places that Israel destroys. [00:57:30] Now you think about it. [00:57:31] They destroy this nuclear reactor. [00:57:33] What is that gonna do? [00:57:34] People will scatter, just like it says. [00:57:41] And many of them will scatter and still die [00:57:43] because they're going to be dealing with radiation poison [00:57:47] just like Chernobyl. [00:57:51] There are many people that didn't get too far [00:57:53] from Chernobyl after it happened. [00:57:57] And here it is in your Bible [00:58:00] speaking about a specific area, [00:58:02] not just the nation, [00:58:04] but a specific area in the nation [00:58:08] that's going to be destroyed by fire [00:58:11] and cause the inhabitants to flee [00:58:13] to every country in the face of the earth. [00:58:18] And yet the Lord said, [00:58:19] but this is my fierce anger upon them [00:58:24] because it's really these radical Muslims in Iran [00:58:32] that are pushing this thing, pushing Israel [00:58:35] to the point of this war [00:58:37] that's going to kill so many people. [00:58:40] And God is going to hold them accountable for this. [00:58:46] You understand? [00:58:49] So I tell you all this to tell you [00:58:52] it's been in the word of God for thousands of years, [00:58:57] but he kept telling you [00:58:59] it's gonna happen in the last days. [00:59:05] And here we are. [00:59:07] And you know, the Lord is so good to us. [00:59:10] He said what? [00:59:11] He said, we're not children of the darkness [00:59:13] that all of this should take us by surprise. [00:59:15] We're children of the light. [00:59:16] Meaning if we know the light, what is the light? [00:59:18] He said, the light is the word of God. [00:59:20] It's the lamp. [00:59:20] It's the light unto our path. [00:59:22] So he says, if we're walking in the light [00:59:24] as he is in the light, what? [00:59:25] We will know. [00:59:26] We will not be caught by surprise. [00:59:28] We shouldn't be caught by surprise. [00:59:33] And something else, you've got to prepare yourself [00:59:36] spiritually, mentally, in every way you can [00:59:39] because people are going to be freaking out. [00:59:42] Let me tell you what the zombie apocalypse is. [00:59:44] It's people's gonna be freaking out. [00:59:53] Their brains aren't gonna have to be changed [00:59:54] by some signal through the phones. [00:59:58] Another Big Nothing Burger, [01:00:03] which the Lord just already let me know [01:00:05] with that whole October, if I say, [01:00:06] it's gonna be another Y2K, I knew it. [01:00:08] Just Big Nothing Burger. [01:00:10] It's all distractions. [01:00:12] You hear me? [01:00:14] You know why all this stuff, [01:00:15] there's these stupid distractions [01:00:17] that come out of the internet? [01:00:18] To keep you from this. [01:00:22] This right here is all you need. [01:00:24] Study the Bible. [01:00:26] Read the Bible. [01:00:28] And you will know the news before it becomes news. [01:00:34] The reason I like that book, Epicenter by Rosenberg, [01:00:37] Rosenberg's a Jewish guy that got saved. [01:00:39] He was actually an advisor to Netanyahu at one point. [01:00:44] And he did his book. [01:00:45] He goes, from Bible prophecy, these are things, [01:00:48] headlines you will see in the news in the days ahead. [01:00:50] And everything he has in there, [01:00:52] we're seeing them happen now. [01:00:54] And he wrote this book, you know, 2006. [01:01:00] Because it's not hard. [01:01:02] If you stick to the Bible, it makes sense. [01:01:06] You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. [01:01:10] If you continue in the Word of God. [01:01:14] I get so frustrated with this stuff. [01:01:16] People send me videos, they look at this, [01:01:21] check this out, watch this. [01:01:22] What about this? [01:01:23] And I'm just going, sometimes they're two hours long, [01:01:26] they're an hour long. [01:01:28] And sometimes I can watch them and sometimes I can't. [01:01:30] But sometimes I only can watch, [01:01:33] I watch two minutes and I know. [01:01:36] Why? [01:01:37] Because I know this. [01:01:38] If it doesn't match this, [01:01:40] I don't care what kind of revelation you think you got. [01:01:45] And then people want to tell me, [01:01:46] oh, the Holy Ghost showed me this. [01:01:48] The Holy Spirit told me this. [01:01:49] And I'm like, if it's contrary to this, [01:01:52] he didn't tell you. [01:01:54] And the Bible says, let the prophets speak [01:01:56] and let the others judge. [01:01:58] Well, you know what? [01:01:58] If you're going to say, God told me, [01:01:59] I can say, maybe he didn't. [01:02:03] Right? [01:02:08] Somebody say, amen or me? [01:02:11] Now, what are we supposed to do? [01:02:13] Let me tell you something right now. [01:02:14] You guys, Christians right now, [01:02:16] we need to be sharing this. [01:02:19] I preach this so you will know this, [01:02:21] but so you can share this with other people. [01:02:24] Remember, he says, there's going to be [01:02:26] a great shaking of people. [01:02:27] They're going to be trembling. [01:02:28] They're going to be freaking out. [01:02:30] But if they know that you told them before it happened, [01:02:34] guess where they're going to run to first? [01:02:37] Guess who they're going to call first? [01:02:40] I need to talk to you. [01:02:41] What's going on? [01:02:42] What do I need to do? [01:02:43] And some of them aren't going to be saved, [01:02:45] or some of them are going to be living in sin, [01:02:46] and that's when you're going to preach the gospel to them [01:02:48] and say, God's word is true from Genesis to Revelation. [01:02:51] You need to surrender your life to Jesus [01:02:53] because you need to be prepared to die if you die tomorrow. [01:02:58] All of this is to lead people to Jesus. [01:03:00] Every prophecy, every word is to lead people back to Jesus [01:03:04] to prove the Bible is true, that it was supernaturally [01:03:07] inspired by God, that it's not just a book written by men. [01:03:17] This is why I can't even fathom that there are [01:03:19] preachers out there that don't talk about Bible prophecy [01:03:24] when it's happening right in front of them. [01:03:26] You know, in 2008, I had preached in Bible prophecy [01:03:29] from the time I came back to the Lord when I was 19. [01:03:32] The first sermon I ever preached in a church, [01:03:34] I preached in a dead Methodist church in Montgomery one time. [01:03:37] First sermon I ever preached, Matthew 24, [01:03:40] the second coming of Jesus. [01:03:43] That was 36 years ago. [01:03:46] You know what the Lord told me then? [01:03:47] When the Lord appeared to me in October of 1987, [01:03:50] you know what he told me? [01:03:51] He said, waste no time, son, [01:03:54] for there is little time left to spare. [01:03:57] And that was 36 years ago. [01:04:03] I took him seriously. [01:04:04] That's why I got busy studying the Bible. [01:04:08] That's why I got busy preaching. [01:04:09] That's why I got busy telling everybody I could [01:04:12] about Jesus and about Bible prophecy. [01:04:16] That's going to be fulfilled. [01:04:17] I've been preaching it all these years, [01:04:19] but I went through a period there, [01:04:21] probably 2003 to about 2008, [01:04:29] that I didn't preach on it. [01:04:30] And I got an invitation to go preach [01:04:32] at the church in Washington, D.C. [01:04:34] that I helped start with a group of Nigerians back in 2003. [01:04:38] So they invited me to come preach. [01:04:39] And you know, as I was praying and fasting, [01:04:41] getting ready to go there to preach for two weeks, [01:04:43] you know what the Lord got me back on? [01:04:46] Bible prophecy. [01:04:48] But then he told me in 2008, [01:04:51] right as Nancy and I got married, [01:04:52] he said to me, and this was a strong word. [01:04:55] He said, son, he said, you do not want to be [01:04:59] a preacher living in the last days [01:05:02] that didn't preach about the last days. [01:05:05] I said, no, I don't. [01:05:08] And he was letting me know, preacher, [01:05:12] you live in these days [01:05:14] and you don't talk about this stuff to your congregation. [01:05:18] You're going to be held accountable. [01:05:19] That blood's going to be on your hands. [01:05:21] Because prophecy, Jesus said in Matthew 24, [01:05:23] he said after he said all that stuff [01:05:26] that's going to happen, he said, [01:05:28] behold, I have told you before. [01:05:31] And then he said in John 15, he says, [01:05:33] this is why I tell you, I told you before these things. [01:05:36] So when they come to pass, you will believe. [01:05:42] See, this telling you beforehand, [01:05:43] this prophetic stuff in the Bible [01:05:46] is so that you will believe the Bible, [01:05:49] you will believe God, and that is faith. [01:05:52] So you will not be shaken when the shaking comes. [01:05:55] You hear me? [01:05:57] See, I am not going to be moved. [01:05:59] That's going to be blowing up all around me. [01:06:02] 10,000 at this side, 10,000 at that side. [01:06:06] And I'm going to be like, Lord, I'm with you. [01:06:08] I'm ready. [01:06:09] Is today the day I go? [01:06:11] If not, I'm going to be preaching to these people [01:06:13] who are shaking in their boots. [01:06:19] How better a time? [01:06:21] Somebody said, oh, that's just terrible, [01:06:23] this judgment stuff and the fire of God, [01:06:25] the wrath of God. [01:06:27] That's terrible. [01:06:28] We shouldn't use fear. [01:06:30] But the Bible says the opposite, doesn't it? [01:06:32] Put up Jude 22 and 23. [01:06:36] What does it say on some? [01:06:37] Have compassion making a difference. [01:06:39] Others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire. [01:06:46] The Lord's been dealing with me [01:06:47] about doing a sermon on the fear of the Lord. [01:06:50] I found a CD of me preaching in 1997 [01:06:55] entitled the fear of the Lord, fear of God. [01:07:00] And it says it's the beginning of wisdom, [01:07:03] but the fear, isn't it amazing? [01:07:05] I mean, some of you, you know, [01:07:07] I know some of you might be crazy, [01:07:09] but I get on a tall building that has no railing [01:07:12] and that fear keeps me from getting a little too close [01:07:16] to the edge, so I don't want to fall and die [01:07:19] because I'm stupid, right? [01:07:22] I know some of these people like to walk on these, [01:07:24] you see any people that used to walk on the high beams? [01:07:27] Not me. [01:07:28] No, no. [01:07:31] I know you give me a mountain climbing harness [01:07:33] and some ropes and I might walk the beam, [01:07:36] but I'm not walking it free handed. [01:07:38] I'm sorry, Augusta wind blow you right off there, right? [01:07:42] But that fear is to keep you alive. [01:07:44] See that fear is good. [01:07:45] I don't go stand out in front of, you know, [01:07:47] 18 wheelers, because I know what's going to happen. [01:07:54] I don't do it. [01:07:56] There's fear that's good fear [01:07:58] and there's fear that's bad fear. [01:08:01] But the fear of the Lord, [01:08:03] and especially when the shaking comes [01:08:04] and his judgments begin to fall upon the world [01:08:07] and the things that he foretold. [01:08:08] And remember, a lot of the things that he foretold [01:08:10] is not his judgment. [01:08:11] It's the wicked being wicked, right? [01:08:15] And he's going to allow them to be wicked [01:08:18] until he finally puts a stop to it all. [01:08:20] See, it's amazing. [01:08:20] People say, why does God allow evil? [01:08:25] Because he's patient, way more patient than we are. [01:08:29] But his patience has an end. [01:08:32] Everybody talks about God's patience. [01:08:34] Oh, he's like it's eternal. [01:08:36] No, his patience will have an end [01:08:39] and he is going to judge [01:08:41] and deal with every wicked person. [01:08:47] You hear me? [01:08:49] Every pedophile is going to get what's coming to him [01:08:53] in this world or the next. [01:08:58] Everyone who turned against the commands of God [01:09:01] that chose to be an adult or a foreignicator, [01:09:03] a drunkard, a drug dealer, a false teacher, [01:09:10] a mega church pastor that doesn't preach the word. [01:09:13] You're wicked. [01:09:19] Every wicked person is going to be dealt with. [01:09:23] Not just the ones that take the mark. [01:09:26] Every wicked one. [01:09:28] And so the day is coming when the Lord Jesus Christ, [01:09:34] God Almighty in the flesh returns [01:09:37] and stops all the wickedness. [01:09:41] There won't be any more child trafficking. [01:09:46] You hear me? [01:09:52] There won't be any more prostitution. [01:09:54] There won't be any more pornography websites. [01:10:00] He is going to clean it up. [01:10:04] And then he's going to begin. [01:10:06] The environmentalists ought to get with Jesus, man, [01:10:09] because Jesus is the one that's going to come back [01:10:11] and clean it back up and fix it back [01:10:13] the way it's supposed to be. [01:10:18] See, I'm with the ultimate environmentalists, Jesus Christ. [01:10:24] There's just a time for it, right? [01:10:29] His time, not our time. [01:10:31] And we're just the way it's supposed to be on anything. [01:10:33] We just would trust God. [01:10:34] We wouldn't have a lot of this foolishness going on, right? [01:10:38] Somebody say, I love Jesus. [01:10:39] Do you love Jesus? [01:10:41] I love Jesus. [01:10:42] I love the word of God. [01:10:43] Do you love the word of God? [01:10:46] It's alive and powerful. [01:10:47] I'm telling you, it's so, that's why this morning I was like, [01:10:50] you know, I preached last night in two hours south [01:10:53] down in the middle of nowhere, Alabama, [01:10:56] lower Alabama and Eretan, wonderful people. [01:10:58] Great crowd showed up and, you know, [01:11:00] I mean, literally in the middle of nowhere. [01:11:02] And we had a good group of our folks show up [01:11:04] and we cast some demons out of some people [01:11:07] and pray for some people. [01:11:08] And it was a great night, but goodness, [01:11:10] we drove home two hours, [01:11:12] didn't go to bed till after midnight, [01:11:15] didn't sleep until I got up about four, [01:11:18] just praying, praying, praying, Lord, [01:11:20] what do you want for this morning? [01:11:21] And it just never came. [01:11:23] It just never could get settled on what it was. [01:11:26] And then my wife walks in and starts talking [01:11:28] about the Israel stuff. [01:11:29] And the Lord said, that's it. [01:11:31] And it was like, this just came. [01:11:33] It's like this old PowerPoint. [01:11:34] I need to pull it out and look at it. [01:11:36] But I can tell you this much this morning, [01:11:37] back there before I got up here to preach this to you, [01:11:41] I could feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit so strong. [01:11:44] And I felt anointing on this, on the Word this morning, [01:11:49] that this was important. [01:11:50] And it's important not just for you to hear. [01:11:53] It's important for you to get it down in your heart [01:11:56] and to share this information with people [01:11:59] because it's coming. [01:12:00] Now, again, I said, I'm not saying this is it. [01:12:03] It could be, it might not be. [01:12:04] Feels a little different to me this time. [01:12:06] Netanyahu said, and I pulled it up. [01:12:09] He said that Israel is gonna use every means necessary, [01:12:12] all of its strength to stop this. [01:12:17] I have a feeling that the $80 billion worth of weapons [01:12:21] that Biden left are being now used, [01:12:27] gonna be used against Israel and Israel knows it [01:12:32] because they're all about this. [01:12:34] They've all, Obama and Biden have been all about creating. [01:12:38] They created ISIS. [01:12:40] They gave weapons and funded all these anti-Israel elements. [01:12:45] They created the Arab Spring [01:12:47] that wiped out Christianity pretty much in the Middle East. [01:12:53] And they want Israel wiped off the map. [01:12:58] And Biden is just doing Obama's bidding. [01:13:02] And you know what they're gonna do? [01:13:03] You know, Hillary just made, [01:13:04] was in the news too this week, [01:13:06] talking about anybody that supports Trump [01:13:08] needs to be in a re-education camp. [01:13:10] She's not joking, [01:13:15] which most of that's Protestant Christians in America [01:13:17] that support pretty much, [01:13:20] we would take Trump over Biden any day of the week, right? [01:13:24] Even with all of his issues. [01:13:28] But that's telling you what they have in store for you. [01:13:33] And they're not joking about it either. [01:13:35] I'll tell you what, that wicked woman, that Jezebel, [01:13:40] there's a special place in hell for her [01:13:42] if she doesn't repent. [01:13:45] I mean, he genuinely repent. [01:13:48] You know, hell has different levels of punishment [01:13:52] and she's gonna have one somewhere down there [01:13:54] near Satan himself. [01:13:57] Wickedness. [01:14:01] So folks, Jesus is literally coming back. [01:14:08] He says it's not gonna be some surprise. [01:14:11] It didn't happen in kind of a quiet 70 AD time period. [01:14:17] He says every eye is gonna see him. [01:14:20] His glory and light is gonna shine [01:14:21] from the East to the West. [01:14:23] He's gonna open the solid dome firmament crystalline [01:14:26] firmament gonna open it up and they're gonna see him. [01:14:28] Actually, they're gonna see him [01:14:29] before he even starts to come down. [01:14:31] They're gonna see the lamb of God seated upon his throne [01:14:34] and begin to cry out, [01:14:35] hide us from the wrath of the lamb. [01:14:39] He's gonna open up that sky that's above us. [01:14:41] And guess what, when every eye shall see, [01:14:43] they and you aren't on the bottom of some ball [01:14:44] not gonna be able to see it. [01:14:51] Somebody say amen. [01:14:54] You know, I was about to quit at noon, [01:14:55] but I couldn't do it to you. [01:15:00] I didn't want, that's right. [01:15:05] Let's pray. [01:15:07] Father in heaven, I thank you so much today. [01:15:10] I sense the anointing of your spirit [01:15:12] upon this message, upon this word, [01:15:14] upon these prophecies of old [01:15:17] that we are watching happen now [01:15:18] in these latter days and these last days. [01:15:22] Lord, you gave them to us [01:15:23] so that we would know the truth [01:15:25] and so that we could preach this truth [01:15:26] and we could warn others and they would know. [01:15:30] And so they would know that you are the Lord, [01:15:33] Yahweh, the creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, [01:15:36] the only true God, the only way [01:15:40] that they would know the Messiah, [01:15:42] the only Messiah, the only Savior, [01:15:45] the only Redeemer, the only true God [01:15:48] that died for our sins and rose from the dead, [01:15:50] the Lord Jesus Christ, [01:15:53] that they could come and believe [01:15:56] and be born again, have their sins washed away [01:15:59] and be saved and be ready for life or death. [01:16:04] So that's the beautiful thing about knowing the creator [01:16:07] and knowing that you're born again [01:16:09] through Jesus Christ is that there is no fear of death. [01:16:14] Death is actually a promotion. [01:16:19] And then our bodies will be resurrected [01:16:20] and return and made eternal. [01:16:24] We're gonna be with you forever. [01:16:25] We're gonna inherit the third heaven, [01:16:29] the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven. [01:16:31] We're gonna inherit the earth [01:16:33] that's been repaired and fixed and healed [01:16:37] by your power, Lord Jesus. [01:16:40] The meek shall inherit the earth. [01:16:41] Your people inherit it all. [01:16:45] We thank you for it. [01:16:47] That was one of my favorite passages in Luke. [01:16:49] It says, fear not, little flock. [01:16:52] It is your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. [01:16:56] And the kingdom's gonna be everything [01:16:57] because he owns everything. [01:17:00] It's not just the third heaven, [01:17:01] it's heaven, it's earth, [01:17:04] it's paradise under the earth. [01:17:06] We get it all. [01:17:09] Don't miss out on that. [01:17:11] There's no pleasure of sin that's worth missing out [01:17:15] on everything God has for us for all eternity. [01:17:19] Amen. [01:17:20] Let's stand. [01:17:23] What was that third song we did? [01:17:25] Let me see. [01:17:27] I can't remember the name of it. [01:17:28] I never can remember the name of songs anymore. [01:17:33] Almost 60, is that what it's called? [01:17:36] Oh, Jesus. [01:17:43] I wanna do, yeah. [01:17:47] What a beautiful name. [01:17:50] Yeah, that one. [01:17:53] Let's do this song and then we'll hug some necks [01:17:55] and go eat. [01:17:57] And then, oh, by the way, we got, [01:18:00] we're starting something new. [01:18:01] So everybody's birthday is in October. [01:18:02] Hold your hand up. [01:18:04] One, two, three. [01:18:07] I know, Mila. [01:18:10] All right, so what we're gonna do [01:18:12] is we're gonna sell it. [01:18:14] Happy birthday to you, by the way. [01:18:15] And we have a cake down there [01:18:17] for the birthday boys and girls. [01:18:20] And that way we're gonna just start trying [01:18:23] to do that once a month. [01:18:23] We'll just celebrate birthdays. [01:18:27] Getting too much to keep up with every single one. [01:18:30] So let's pray. [01:18:31] Father, thank you again for this time. [01:18:33] And Lord, we just choose now to go out [01:18:35] and worship you going out of this place. [01:18:37] And I thank you, Lord. [01:18:40] I pray that many are saved, [01:18:42] brought to repentance, [01:18:43] brought to faith and belief in your holy word [01:18:46] and in the Savior Jesus Christ, Lord, [01:18:49] through seeing that these prophecies [01:18:52] that you gave thousands of years ago [01:18:54] are being fulfilled. [01:18:56] We thank you for that. [01:18:57] In Jesus' name, amen. [01:19:09] You were the word at the beginning, [01:19:14] one with God, your hidden glory. [01:19:28] And I'll renew, what a beautiful name, [01:19:38] what a beautiful name, [01:19:41] the name of Jesus, [01:19:48] what a beautiful name, [01:19:52] nothing compared, what a beautiful name. [01:24:33] Come on, give him praise in this place. [01:24:36] You are holy, Lord, holy, holy, holy. [01:24:40] There is none like you. [01:24:41] You have no rival, no equal. [01:24:44] You will return and all your enemies will be destroyed. [01:24:48] They will bow at your feet. [01:24:49] Every knee will bow and every tongue [01:24:51] will confess Jesus Christ is Lord. [01:24:55] There will be no more. [01:24:57] No more evil, no more wickedness, no more rebels. [01:25:03] Lord, we thank you that you're going to deal with sin [01:25:05] and wickedness and evil when you return. [01:25:10] And we know that your return is very soon. [01:25:16] Lord, bless your people today. [01:25:18] Jesus' name, amen. [01:25:21] All right, y'all hug some necks in this place [01:25:23] before you leave. [01:25:24] If you want to stay, go get you something to eat. [01:25:26] Come back downstairs [01:25:27] and no announcements that I know of. [01:25:31] No announcements, right? [01:25:32] But well, you got a women's fellowship thing [01:25:35] next week or something. [01:25:36] I don't know. [01:25:40] Okay, bye, y'all.
