- The talking point in the media
- 00:00:03.728 --> 00:00:04.963
- Is that in some is that israel should just ignore iran.
- 00:00:04.963 --> 00:00:08.600
- It's hard to ignore somebody
- 00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:09.501
- That says they intend to destroy you.
- 00:00:09.501 --> 00:00:12.737
- Just imagine if every night you came home, your neighbor
- 00:00:13.872 --> 00:00:17.008
- Knocked on your door,
- 00:00:17.008 --> 00:00:18.043
- Said, i intend to destroy you and your family.
- 00:00:18.043 --> 00:00:21.279
- And they told anybody who would listen.
- 00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:24.816
- I mean, it's that's the current reality.
- 00:00:24.816 --> 00:00:27.486
- I don't know what the future holds, but it's complicated.
- 00:00:27.486 --> 00:00:30.956
- And your prayers matter,
- 00:00:30.956 --> 00:00:32.023
- So please don't stay neutral on this.
- 00:00:32.023 --> 00:00:33.892
- Chris has been
- 00:00:33.892 --> 00:00:36.094
- Reporting the news from the middle east
- 00:00:36.094 --> 00:00:39.397
- For more than 25 years.
- 00:00:39.397 --> 00:00:41.867
- He's been there through the intifada as
- 00:00:41.867 --> 00:00:44.803
- Through the wars, through so many
- 00:00:44.803 --> 00:00:46.972
- Things, changes of government, changes of the region.
- 00:00:46.972 --> 00:00:50.275
- He his home is in jerusalem, but he travels throughout
- 00:00:50.275 --> 00:00:52.878
- The region.
- 00:00:52.878 --> 00:00:54.045
- I've often been concerned for him. i'll see video clips.
- 00:00:54.045 --> 00:00:56.181
- And he's in egypt in the middle of regime change and
- 00:00:56.181 --> 00:00:59.651
- They can't even find a clean place to do a video shoot.
- 00:01:00.685 --> 00:01:03.622
- And you can feel the tension and he has a gentle spirit,
- 00:01:03.622 --> 00:01:08.126
- But the heart of a lion.
- 00:01:08.126 --> 00:01:11.263
- And i'm very grateful.
- 00:01:11.263 --> 00:01:12.631
- In a season when it's not easy to interpret
- 00:01:12.631 --> 00:01:14.599
- Everything that we're hearing
- 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:15.700
- And it's being said and there's so many voices.
- 00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:18.170
- I don't know if a finer person to help you understand
- 00:01:18.170 --> 00:01:22.040
- What's unfolding in the middle east than chris mitchell.
- 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.278
- So if you will help me welcome him back to world
- 00:01:26.278 --> 00:01:28.680
- Outreach church.
- 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:38.156
- Thank you.
- 00:01:38.456 --> 00:01:39.991
- Well thank you.
- 00:01:39.991 --> 00:01:41.426
- The negotiations have been failing
- 00:01:41.426 --> 00:01:44.329
- Only because iran is intractable about
- 00:01:44.329 --> 00:01:47.299
- They do not want to stop their nuclear program.
- 00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:49.668
- They don't want to stop building ballistic missiles.
- 00:01:49.668 --> 00:01:52.137
- They don't want to stop funding proxies all around the region.
- 00:01:52.137 --> 00:01:55.507
- So it seemed like even
- 00:01:55.507 --> 00:01:57.042
- From the very beginning of the negotiations,
- 00:01:57.042 --> 00:01:58.877
- That really
- 00:01:58.877 --> 00:02:00.145
- Was never going to succeed in changing their hearts or minds.
- 00:02:00.145 --> 00:02:04.382
- Part of this is all happening because on december 28th, in
- 00:02:04.382 --> 00:02:08.086
- Iran, the people of iran started protesting.
- 00:02:08.086 --> 00:02:11.556
- And these protesters grew.
- 00:02:11.556 --> 00:02:13.525
- They mushroomed not only to tehran, which where they began,
- 00:02:13.525 --> 00:02:18.296
- But literally hundreds of cities around, around
- 00:02:18.296 --> 00:02:22.767
- Iran, from tehran to to isfahan and other places.
- 00:02:22.767 --> 00:02:27.906
- And how the islamic regime responded
- 00:02:27.906 --> 00:02:31.977
- Was a demonic and a barbaric, way of responding to this,
- 00:02:31.977 --> 00:02:36.715
- Literally, probably by now.
- 00:02:37.315 --> 00:02:39.718
- President trump said 30, 2000 the other day.
- 00:02:39.718 --> 00:02:42.921
- There are estimates at 40, 50, maybe even 80,000,
- 00:02:42.921 --> 00:02:47.092
- Of iranians have been killed, murdered by the regime.
- 00:02:47.092 --> 00:02:50.528
- Some of the accounts coming out of there are horrific.
- 00:02:50.528 --> 00:02:53.999
- What is,
- 00:02:54.266 --> 00:02:55.667
- Just barbaric that
- 00:02:56.101 --> 00:02:57.469
- They are shooting people in the eyes to blind them?
- 00:02:57.469 --> 00:03:01.373
- They are doing horrific things to the women, and taking them.
- 00:03:01.373 --> 00:03:05.877
- And sometimes destroying the evidence or burning the bodies.
- 00:03:05.877 --> 00:03:09.214
- So if you can imagine a regime that literally has killed
- 00:03:09.214 --> 00:03:11.950
- Tens of thousands of its own citizen injured maybe
- 00:03:11.950 --> 00:03:15.687
- 3 or 400,000 of its citizens,
- 00:03:15.687 --> 00:03:18.890
- And yet in the midst of this, and i'm sure you may know this,
- 00:03:18.890 --> 00:03:22.227
- That there is a burgeoning underground church within iran
- 00:03:22.227 --> 00:03:25.830
- Right now where maybe more than a million believers.
- 00:03:25.830 --> 00:03:32.637
- Have come to faith in jesus.
- 00:03:33.238 --> 00:03:35.240
- And, and many of them through dreams and visions,
- 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.743
- Literally jesus appearing to them.
- 00:03:39.477 --> 00:03:41.746
- A man in white, where?
- 00:03:41.746 --> 00:03:43.848
- And then they come to faith.
- 00:03:43.848 --> 00:03:45.116
- They may meet another believer, they may get a bible.
- 00:03:45.116 --> 00:03:48.153
- And, it's just an extraordinary phenomenon
- 00:03:48.153 --> 00:03:51.122
- Of the holy spirit right now that is growing a church
- 00:03:51.122 --> 00:03:54.592
- In the midst of tremendous persecution and oppression.
- 00:03:54.592 --> 00:03:58.797
- And he's invading hearts and minds there.
- 00:03:58.797 --> 00:04:01.232
- And we talked to an underground
- 00:04:01.232 --> 00:04:03.335
- Church leader the other day and one of our podcasts.
- 00:04:03.335 --> 00:04:06.471
- And he was just saying that
- 00:04:07.072 --> 00:04:08.206
- That the church there is being the hands
- 00:04:08.206 --> 00:04:10.942
- And the heart of jesus in the midst of this, horrific
- 00:04:10.942 --> 00:04:14.846
- Oppression by the government.
- 00:04:14.846 --> 00:04:16.848
- So i'm just going to take a moment here
- 00:04:17.615 --> 00:04:19.184
- And pray for those people right now, our brothers and sisters.
- 00:04:19.184 --> 00:04:22.954
- Father, we pray right now.
- 00:04:22.954 --> 00:04:24.656
- Your church is crying out to you for freedom.
- 00:04:24.656 --> 00:04:29.494
- For, liberty
- 00:04:29.828 --> 00:04:32.464
- From this, this tyrannical oppression.
- 00:04:32.464 --> 00:04:35.300
- And we know that there are there are ministries right now
- 00:04:35.300 --> 00:04:38.269
- Prepared to go in to spread the gospel.
- 00:04:38.269 --> 00:04:41.906
- So we pray for our brothers and sisters
- 00:04:41.906 --> 00:04:43.708
- Right now that are going through such crisis.
- 00:04:43.708 --> 00:04:47.011
- Strengthen them and help them reach out to their neighbors
- 00:04:47.011 --> 00:04:50.849
- The good news of jesus christ that they could, even
- 00:04:50.849 --> 00:04:54.519
- In the midst of this crisis, that your church would grow.
- 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.156
- Protect them, father, and give president with
- 00:04:58.156 --> 00:05:01.459
- President trump great wisdom right now.
- 00:05:01.459 --> 00:05:03.995
- He's making a historic, even biblical decision
- 00:05:03.995 --> 00:05:07.432
- Of life and death that will change the middle east
- 00:05:07.432 --> 00:05:10.101
- One way or the other.
- 00:05:10.101 --> 00:05:11.302
- So we pray give great wisdom to president trump and prime
- 00:05:11.302 --> 00:05:14.739
- Minister benjamin netanyahu in these difficult days.
- 00:05:14.739 --> 00:05:18.376
- In jesus name,
- 00:05:18.376 --> 00:05:20.078
- Amen.
- 00:05:20.311 --> 00:05:22.113
- So what i wanted to come to share with you
- 00:05:22.113 --> 00:05:24.749
- Was about, last august, 20, 25,
- 00:05:24.749 --> 00:05:28.887
- We mark 25 years of reporting, in israel.
- 00:05:29.721 --> 00:05:33.525
- We came on august 17th, 2000.
- 00:05:33.525 --> 00:05:35.493
- My wife liz, our three children, philip, kathleen and grace.
- 00:05:35.493 --> 00:05:39.297
- Philip was 16.
- 00:05:39.297 --> 00:05:40.398
- Kathleen was 11, grace was eight.
- 00:05:40.398 --> 00:05:42.934
- We experienced, what's called the second
- 00:05:42.934 --> 00:05:46.371
- Intifada, just about five weeks after we arrived.
- 00:05:46.371 --> 00:05:50.241
- And, and then we have live for that 25 years,
- 00:05:50.241 --> 00:05:53.945
- On the front lines of israel's history,
- 00:05:53.945 --> 00:05:56.881
- And so many different things that have happened.
- 00:05:56.881 --> 00:05:59.017
- The second intifada, the,
- 00:05:59.017 --> 00:06:01.052
- Gaza disengagement, where 9000 jews were evicted
- 00:06:01.052 --> 00:06:04.522
- Out of, the gaza strip, which actually led
- 00:06:04.522 --> 00:06:07.659
- To october 7th, the second lebanon war
- 00:06:07.659 --> 00:06:10.829
- And then the wars with, hamas, which is in
- 00:06:10.829 --> 00:06:14.265
- 2009, 2012, 2014 and 2021.
- 00:06:14.265 --> 00:06:18.770
- And, so i thought, well, let's do a video series
- 00:06:18.770 --> 00:06:21.906
- On all these things that we've reported on.
- 00:06:21.906 --> 00:06:24.476
- But the more i prayed about it
- 00:06:24.476 --> 00:06:25.677
- And the more i thought about it, i thought
- 00:06:25.677 --> 00:06:27.879
- It was important to do
- 00:06:28.346 --> 00:06:29.380
- A video series on.
- 00:06:29.380 --> 00:06:32.984
- What people are hearing for the last,
- 00:06:33.785 --> 00:06:36.688
- Especially since october 7th, many people are getting lies,
- 00:06:36.688 --> 00:06:41.426
- Disinformation, misinformation of what actually is happening.
- 00:06:41.426 --> 00:06:45.797
- To israel.
- 00:06:46.097 --> 00:06:47.232
- Ellen pastor allen referred to that,
- 00:06:47.232 --> 00:06:49.634
- The way that anti-semitism is growing
- 00:06:49.634 --> 00:06:52.203
- And so many lies are happening even in the church right now.
- 00:06:52.203 --> 00:06:56.174
- The video series is called israel under fire.
- 00:06:56.174 --> 00:06:59.344
- History, prophecy, and what you need to know.
- 00:06:59.344 --> 00:07:03.114
- And, let's, nick, if we can show the promo to,
- 00:07:03.114 --> 00:07:07.652
- Israel under fire.
- 00:07:08.086 --> 00:07:17.061
- Since october 7th, israel has been under fire,
- 00:07:17.996 --> 00:07:21.199
- Not just from rockets and terrorist, but some lies,
- 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.102
- Misinformation and growing hatred around the world,
- 00:07:24.102 --> 00:07:28.306
- From university campuses to international courts
- 00:07:28.306 --> 00:07:31.509
- That we stop to social media, a war for truth is raging.
- 00:07:31.509 --> 00:07:36.447
- But this is a spiritual battle at its root.
- 00:07:36.447 --> 00:07:39.150
- In this new seven part series, israel under fire,
- 00:07:39.150 --> 00:07:42.453
- It goes to the frontlines and back to the bible
- 00:07:42.453 --> 00:07:45.790
- To answer the questions the church must understand.
- 00:07:45.790 --> 00:07:49.093
- Right now, israel is important because god says it is
- 00:07:49.093 --> 00:07:52.463
- What is really behind the chants,
- 00:07:52.463 --> 00:07:54.399
- The accusations, the calls for israel's destruction.
- 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.669
- Is this just politics?
- 00:07:58.136 --> 00:07:59.971
- Something far deeper?
- 00:07:59.971 --> 00:08:02.173
- There is no doubt that there is a fight going on
- 00:08:02.173 --> 00:08:04.509
- For western civilization.
- 00:08:04.509 --> 00:08:06.177
- Israel is on the front lines from abraham to today's
- 00:08:06.177 --> 00:08:09.480
- Headlines, from october 7th to the battle for truth.
- 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.584
- This series reveals
- 00:08:12.584 --> 00:08:13.851
- The biblical, historical
- 00:08:13.851 --> 00:08:15.386
- And prophetic foundations of israel's rebirth,
- 00:08:15.386 --> 00:08:18.423
- Featuring voices from israel's leading experts,
- 00:08:18.423 --> 00:08:21.759
- Survivors of terror,
- 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.228
- Eyewitnesses reporting from the land
- 00:08:24.996 --> 00:08:27.799
- Where the bible comes to life at a time when many pastors
- 00:08:27.799 --> 00:08:31.603
- Don't know how to respond and believers are confused
- 00:08:31.603 --> 00:08:35.607
- By the noise, israel under fire equips the church
- 00:08:35.607 --> 00:08:39.611
- To stand with clarity, courage and compassion.
- 00:08:39.611 --> 00:08:42.814
- People don't believe our voices if you're a person,
- 00:08:43.848 --> 00:08:46.751
- Unless you're a jew.
- 00:08:46.751 --> 00:08:48.353
- And that's still true.
- 00:08:48.353 --> 00:08:49.754
- Now is the time to understand the truth.
- 00:08:49.754 --> 00:08:52.824
- Now is the time to stand with israel.
- 00:08:52.824 --> 00:08:55.660
- Now is the time to understand the times
- 00:08:55.660 --> 00:08:58.997
- We are living in a moment.
- 00:08:59.564 --> 00:09:01.599
- The prophecies are being fulfilled daily
- 00:09:01.599 --> 00:09:05.136
- In front of our eyes.
- 00:09:05.136 --> 00:09:06.771
- Join us and help spread the truth
- 00:09:06.771 --> 00:09:09.240
- Before the next headline is written.
- 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:21.008
- Before the next headline is written.
- 00:09:21.008 --> 00:09:25.059
- God made a covenant with himself
- 00:09:25.693 --> 00:09:27.662
- In genesis 15 where he said, he
- 00:09:27.662 --> 00:09:31.465
- Where god's never going to go back on his own covenant
- 00:09:31.465 --> 00:09:34.835
- Account is what many people have been calling replacement
- 00:09:34.835 --> 00:09:38.472
- Theology, where the church has replaced israel
- 00:09:38.472 --> 00:09:42.309
- And it's the understanding that the promise made
- 00:09:42.309 --> 00:09:45.513
- By god nearly 4000 years ago is still valid today.
- 00:09:45.513 --> 00:09:49.717
- And i said, the battle for is the land of israel is a battle,
- 00:09:49.717 --> 00:09:54.055
- That is still valid to but still in contention.
- 00:09:54.055 --> 00:09:57.992
- The world calls some of this land the west bank,
- 00:09:57.992 --> 00:10:00.795
- Which is actually the biblical heartland of judea and samaria.
- 00:10:00.795 --> 00:10:05.232
- We also talk about, october 7th and the battle for truth,
- 00:10:05.232 --> 00:10:09.303
- How the worst day in the history of the jewish people
- 00:10:09.303 --> 00:10:12.239
- Since the holocaust became a battle over truth.
- 00:10:12.239 --> 00:10:15.476
- We talked to two survivors of october 7th.
- 00:10:15.476 --> 00:10:17.945
- One you'll see in just a bit.
- 00:10:17.945 --> 00:10:19.280
- Cover a fellow tribesman.
- 00:10:19.280 --> 00:10:20.881
- She actually survived, that day by fleeing the dover
- 00:10:20.881 --> 00:10:24.919
- Music festival and going to a bomb shelter,
- 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.521
- Which typically would have been
- 00:10:27.521 --> 00:10:28.756
- A safe haven with rocket attacks.
- 00:10:28.756 --> 00:10:31.192
- But at that time, it really became a death trap.
- 00:10:31.192 --> 00:10:33.694
- 37 people went into that bomb shelter.
- 00:10:33.694 --> 00:10:36.597
- Only ten survived,
- 00:10:36.597 --> 00:10:37.932
- And she only survived because she was buried
- 00:10:37.932 --> 00:10:40.468
- Under the bodies that had already been died.
- 00:10:40.468 --> 00:10:42.837
- We also talked to an idf reserve sergeant major.
- 00:10:42.837 --> 00:10:45.973
- He's called tyrone kader.
- 00:10:45.973 --> 00:10:47.641
- He actually served more than 450 days inside gaza.
- 00:10:47.641 --> 00:10:51.579
- And we talked to him about
- 00:10:51.579 --> 00:10:53.047
- Is israel really committing a genocide?
- 00:10:53.047 --> 00:10:55.382
- The answer is no.
- 00:10:55.382 --> 00:10:56.617
- And the fact that how difficult it was to fight hamas,
- 00:10:56.617 --> 00:11:01.155
- Hamas had a network and has a network of tunnels
- 00:11:01.155 --> 00:11:04.658
- Larger than the london underground.
- 00:11:04.658 --> 00:11:07.027
- So you're fighting a, an enemy that not only is above ground,
- 00:11:07.027 --> 00:11:11.465
- But below ground that can come out
- 00:11:11.465 --> 00:11:13.601
- Many different, different places.
- 00:11:13.601 --> 00:11:15.936
- Also an enemy that uses women and children as human shields.
- 00:11:15.936 --> 00:11:20.307
- Time sometimes uses women and children
- 00:11:20.307 --> 00:11:22.810
- Actually, as part of their battle plan.
- 00:11:22.810 --> 00:11:25.279
- So we talk about that in,
- 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.281
- October 7th in the battle for truth.
- 00:11:27.281 --> 00:11:29.250
- We also talk about palestine from the river to the sea.
- 00:11:29.250 --> 00:11:32.787
- And what is behind this slogan that has become
- 00:11:32.787 --> 00:11:36.223
- One of the most deadly slogans, in the world heard from places
- 00:11:36.223 --> 00:11:40.528
- Like sydney or new york city, san francisco.
- 00:11:40.528 --> 00:11:44.298
- What does it really mean?
- 00:11:44.298 --> 00:11:45.466
- What does palestine mean?
- 00:11:45.466 --> 00:11:46.967
- So we go into that about helping people understand.
- 00:11:46.967 --> 00:11:50.237
- And the whole purpose of
- 00:11:50.237 --> 00:11:51.338
- This series is to help give believers and give pastors
- 00:11:51.338 --> 00:11:55.009
- A firm biblical, historical and prophetic foundation
- 00:11:55.009 --> 00:11:59.280
- Of what is happening, in the land right now.
- 00:11:59.280 --> 00:12:02.416
- We also talk about the miracle of israel, about how,
- 00:12:02.416 --> 00:12:05.886
- On may 14th, 1948, a miracle was born.
- 00:12:05.886 --> 00:12:09.323
- After nearly 2000 years,
- 00:12:09.323 --> 00:12:11.625
- The people of the chosen people have come back from the
- 00:12:11.625 --> 00:12:15.162
- Four corners of the earth to establish a state
- 00:12:15.162 --> 00:12:18.699
- For the first time, since nearly the first first century
- 00:12:18.699 --> 00:12:23.704
- Prophets told about that ezekiel,
- 00:12:24.438 --> 00:12:26.740
- Isaiah, jeremiah all said that one day his people would return.
- 00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:31.412
- We also talk about christian
- 00:12:31.412 --> 00:12:32.780
- Persecution, christian revival, and antisemitism.
- 00:12:32.780 --> 00:12:37.017
- Our brothers and sisters, as i talked about
- 00:12:37.017 --> 00:12:39.220
- In, in iran, are suffering persecution.
- 00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:42.756
- We saw that firsthand as well.
- 00:12:42.756 --> 00:12:44.425
- And it's in the two books that you have their destination,
- 00:12:44.425 --> 00:12:47.561
- Jerusalem.
- 00:12:47.561 --> 00:12:48.796
- How much of the persecution of isis by isis, but al-qaida
- 00:12:48.796 --> 00:12:53.467
- By other islamic groups has really dramatically reduced
- 00:12:53.467 --> 00:12:57.838
- The number of christians
- 00:12:57.838 --> 00:12:58.973
- That actually living, in the middle east right now?
- 00:12:58.973 --> 00:13:02.009
- We're also they were given four choices.
- 00:13:02.877 --> 00:13:05.346
- Many of the people we talked to then they could either convert,
- 00:13:05.346 --> 00:13:08.282
- They could pay the jisa tax for demi's or non-muslims,
- 00:13:08.282 --> 00:13:12.186
- They could leave or they could die by this, by the sword.
- 00:13:12.186 --> 00:13:16.123
- We also see the exponential rise of anti-semitism
- 00:13:16.123 --> 00:13:20.494
- Around the world, especially after october 7th.
- 00:13:20.494 --> 00:13:23.764
- You would think that there be a lot of empathy, sympathy
- 00:13:23.764 --> 00:13:26.667
- For the jewish people after october 7th.
- 00:13:26.667 --> 00:13:29.036
- But almost immediately on october 8th,
- 00:13:29.036 --> 00:13:32.006
- There became this cry.
- 00:13:32.006 --> 00:13:33.474
- In fact, in sydney, australia, there's video of a gathering of,
- 00:13:33.474 --> 00:13:38.312
- Pro palestinians that are calling gassed the jews kill.
- 00:13:38.312 --> 00:13:42.483
- The idea of it happened just immediately after october 7th.
- 00:13:42.483 --> 00:13:46.987
- Talk about the bondi massacre.
- 00:13:46.987 --> 00:13:49.556
- Just a few couple of months ago, in december.
- 00:13:49.556 --> 00:13:52.059
- We have a friend of mine.
- 00:13:52.059 --> 00:13:53.160
- His name is arsen ostrovsky.
- 00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:55.162
- He's an international human rights lawyer.
- 00:13:55.162 --> 00:13:57.865
- He went to australia just two weeks before,
- 00:13:57.865 --> 00:14:01.201
- To help the jewish people.
- 00:14:01.201 --> 00:14:02.903
- And i had seen him just a couple of weeks
- 00:14:02.903 --> 00:14:05.072
- Before that in houston square in tel aviv.
- 00:14:05.072 --> 00:14:08.108
- And, when i saw the video of the
- 00:14:08.108 --> 00:14:11.245
- The massacre, i saw his picture.
- 00:14:11.245 --> 00:14:14.081
- He was shot in the head. you may have seen a picture.
- 00:14:14.081 --> 00:14:16.583
- He literally had blood all over his head and all over his face.
- 00:14:16.583 --> 00:14:20.254
- He took a selfie.
- 00:14:20.254 --> 00:14:21.622
- And, and that kind of went viral.
- 00:14:21.622 --> 00:14:23.791
- But that's what happened to arson.
- 00:14:23.791 --> 00:14:25.559
- And that's just emblematic of the anti-semitism
- 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.595
- That has gone all over the world.
- 00:14:28.595 --> 00:14:30.631
- And there's also a sense that it's not just the jewish people.
- 00:14:30.631 --> 00:14:34.735
- It's not just the saturday people, it's the sunday people.
- 00:14:34.735 --> 00:14:38.973
- And if there's anything that i keep hearing about
- 00:14:38.973 --> 00:14:41.775
- Is that this is not just for the jews alone.
- 00:14:41.775 --> 00:14:44.678
- It may start with the jews, but it does not end with the jews.
- 00:14:44.678 --> 00:14:49.249
- And i think that's something we need to
- 00:14:49.249 --> 00:14:52.553
- Internalize.
- 00:14:52.886 --> 00:14:53.954
- We need to understand that, that we, the believers
- 00:14:53.954 --> 00:14:58.592
- In jesus, are many times the target for this,
- 00:14:58.592 --> 00:15:02.963
- This against our own faith, against the jews and against us.
- 00:15:02.963 --> 00:15:07.267
- But there's also christian revival.
- 00:15:07.267 --> 00:15:08.869
- As i mentioned in iran, there's an amazing revival is going on.
- 00:15:08.869 --> 00:15:12.806
- And, i was getting ready in our, hotel room.
- 00:15:12.806 --> 00:15:15.809
- My wife and i, we saw pastor allen on fox news.
- 00:15:15.809 --> 00:15:18.812
- Maybe you saw him as well.
- 00:15:18.812 --> 00:15:20.447
- And i believe.
- 00:15:20.447 --> 00:15:26.153
- And i know last year
- 00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:27.955
- You had, an event called make heaven crowded.
- 00:15:27.955 --> 00:15:31.025
- So there is a growing sense there going,
- 00:15:31.025 --> 00:15:34.161
- Turning to the bible for many and even in gen z.
- 00:15:34.161 --> 00:15:37.731
- And so we need just pray that that revival, that,
- 00:15:37.731 --> 00:15:41.402
- Spread of the gospel just continues, exponentially.
- 00:15:41.402 --> 00:15:45.372
- We also talk about prophecies unfolding in our time.
- 00:15:45.372 --> 00:15:49.676
- Jesus said there would be signs in our time.
- 00:15:49.676 --> 00:15:52.346
- Wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation.
- 00:15:52.346 --> 00:15:55.883
- There'll be earthquakes in various places.
- 00:15:55.883 --> 00:15:58.085
- In 2023,
- 00:15:58.085 --> 00:15:59.319
- We had the opportunity to report on two of those earthquakes.
- 00:15:59.319 --> 00:16:03.557
- One was in turkey,
- 00:16:03.557 --> 00:16:04.825
- Followed by not too long after that in morocco.
- 00:16:04.825 --> 00:16:08.062
- The one in turkey was catastrophic.
- 00:16:08.062 --> 00:16:10.697
- It had a, a zone earthquake zone
- 00:16:10.697 --> 00:16:13.534
- That went all the way, say, from new york to washington, dc.
- 00:16:13.534 --> 00:16:17.504
- Just a massive earthquake.
- 00:16:17.504 --> 00:16:19.506
- Sometimes whole neighborhoods were wiped out
- 00:16:19.506 --> 00:16:22.242
- And just one time.
- 00:16:22.242 --> 00:16:23.911
- But also we see the jews returning to the land of israel.
- 00:16:23.911 --> 00:16:27.081
- We see the desert blooming,
- 00:16:27.081 --> 00:16:29.049
- And we see israel becoming a light to the nations. and.
- 00:16:29.049 --> 00:16:44.000
- And we see israel becoming a light to the nations. and.
- 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.097
- God has a plan for israel and his people.
- 00:16:47.964 --> 00:16:50.467
- And a lot of people are
- 00:16:50.467 --> 00:16:51.801
- Questioning about the jewish people.
- 00:16:51.801 --> 00:16:54.270
- Some the one of the questions has been, are the jews of today
- 00:16:54.270 --> 00:16:57.674
- The same jews as the jews of the bible?
- 00:16:57.674 --> 00:17:00.143
- And has god, you know, forgotten his, covenant with israel?
- 00:17:00.143 --> 00:17:03.913
- Well, jeremiah chapter 3135 and 36 says,
- 00:17:03.913 --> 00:17:07.484
- Thus says the lord, who gives the sun for a light
- 00:17:07.484 --> 00:17:10.553
- By day the ordinance of the moon
- 00:17:11.187 --> 00:17:13.022
- By night, who disturbs the sea and its waves roar.
- 00:17:13.022 --> 00:17:16.159
- The lord of hosts is his name.
- 00:17:16.159 --> 00:17:18.061
- If those ordinances depart from before me, says the lord,
- 00:17:18.061 --> 00:17:21.698
- Then the seed of israel shall also cease from being a nation
- 00:17:21.698 --> 00:17:25.668
- From before me.
- 00:17:25.668 --> 00:17:26.970
- And romans 11 says, concerning the gospel, they,
- 00:17:26.970 --> 00:17:30.640
- The jews, are enemies for your sake.
- 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.742
- But concerning the election
- 00:17:32.742 --> 00:17:34.611
- They are beloved for the sake of the fathers,
- 00:17:34.611 --> 00:17:37.080
- For the gifts and calling of god are irrevocable.
- 00:17:37.080 --> 00:17:40.316
- So the question is, where are we right now?
- 00:17:40.316 --> 00:17:43.019
- Just before the nrb, attended a conference called the judeo
- 00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:47.357
- Christian zionist congress, it was modeled after the first
- 00:17:47.357 --> 00:17:51.294
- Zionist congress back in 1897
- 00:17:51.294 --> 00:17:54.097
- With, started by theodor herzl,
- 00:17:54.097 --> 00:17:57.200
- Who actually said that was the beginning
- 00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.902
- Of the birth, that he said in 50 years
- 00:17:58.902 --> 00:18:01.337
- The state of israel would be born in almost to the year.
- 00:18:01.337 --> 00:18:04.841
- The state of israel was born.
- 00:18:05.475 --> 00:18:07.877
- And what marked this, remarkable event was that jewish
- 00:18:07.877 --> 00:18:11.748
- And christian leaders came together. why?
- 00:18:11.748 --> 00:18:14.717
- Because they believe that western civilization itself
- 00:18:14.717 --> 00:18:18.488
- Is at risk right now, at risk because of an unholy
- 00:18:18.488 --> 00:18:22.192
- Alliance of radical islam rising global
- 00:18:22.192 --> 00:18:25.261
- Anti-semitism and leftist ideologies.
- 00:18:25.261 --> 00:18:29.399
- And right now, they say that we're on actually
- 00:18:29.399 --> 00:18:31.901
- An eighth front that began on october 8th.
- 00:18:31.901 --> 00:18:35.805
- And the seven fronts were hamas, hezbollah,
- 00:18:35.805 --> 00:18:39.542
- The hutus, iranian militias in iraq and syria,
- 00:18:39.542 --> 00:18:42.979
- Terror groups in judea and samaria and iran itself.
- 00:18:42.979 --> 00:18:45.715
- Those are the seven fronts.
- 00:18:45.715 --> 00:18:47.951
- But the eighth one was this, this idea
- 00:18:47.951 --> 00:18:51.421
- That is an information war.
- 00:18:51.421 --> 00:18:54.691
- That we have just entered and just perhaps
- 00:18:54.691 --> 00:18:57.060
- Beginning an information war for the first time
- 00:18:57.060 --> 00:19:00.363
- Began on october 8th, even before israel had entered
- 00:19:00.363 --> 00:19:03.933
- Gaza, social media had said had campaigns
- 00:19:03.933 --> 00:19:07.737
- Using the word genocide hashtag stopped the genocide.
- 00:19:07.737 --> 00:19:12.408
- Two months later, south africa filed a genocide case
- 00:19:12.408 --> 00:19:15.845
- Against the international court of justice.
- 00:19:15.845 --> 00:19:19.082
- And also,
- 00:19:19.082 --> 00:19:20.316
- We see that in news reporting at the very beginning of the war,
- 00:19:20.316 --> 00:19:24.020
- There was a misfire by palestinian islamic jihad,
- 00:19:24.020 --> 00:19:28.124
- The idf,
- 00:19:28.391 --> 00:19:29.926
- Supposedly it was reported that they had bombed
- 00:19:29.926 --> 00:19:33.162
- This hospital deliberately, and 500 people had died.
- 00:19:33.162 --> 00:19:37.500
- What really happened was
- 00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.668
- It was a misfire by palestinian islamic jihad.
- 00:19:38.668 --> 00:19:42.739
- Only 50 died tragically, but still in the nearby parking lot.
- 00:19:42.739 --> 00:19:47.010
- Parking lot.
- 00:19:47.010 --> 00:19:48.478
- This is just an example of what has been happening
- 00:19:48.478 --> 00:19:51.047
- In the news media, since october 7th especially.
- 00:19:51.047 --> 00:19:54.784
- And also right now we're seeing rising voices on the right.
- 00:19:54.784 --> 00:19:57.854
- We're seeing
- 00:19:58.187 --> 00:19:59.289
- In the book of nehemiah, it says that nehemiah came
- 00:19:59.289 --> 00:20:02.659
- To rebuild
- 00:20:02.659 --> 00:20:03.326
- The walls of jerusalem,
- 00:20:03.326 --> 00:20:04.994
- And it says in the book of nehemiah
- 00:20:04.994 --> 00:20:07.130
- It says, now what happened
- 00:20:07.130 --> 00:20:08.564
- When sanballat, tobiah, the arabs, the ammonites,
- 00:20:08.564 --> 00:20:11.401
- And the estimates heard that
- 00:20:11.401 --> 00:20:13.169
- The walls of jerusalem were being restored
- 00:20:13.169 --> 00:20:15.872
- And gaps were being closed in the wall, that they became
- 00:20:15.872 --> 00:20:19.509
- Very angry, and all of them conspired together
- 00:20:19.509 --> 00:20:22.779
- To come and attack jerusalem and create confusion.
- 00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:27.050
- And like the sand ballots and tobias of ancient days,
- 00:20:27.050 --> 00:20:30.620
- Modern day voices are rising to discourage and divide.
- 00:20:30.620 --> 00:20:35.491
- And that's really the reason behind
- 00:20:35.491 --> 00:20:37.193
- The series that i've been working on that,
- 00:20:37.193 --> 00:20:40.296
- That many of these voices
- 00:20:40.296 --> 00:20:41.864
- Are leading a generation in the wrong direction.
- 00:20:41.864 --> 00:20:45.568
- They're trying to demonize israel,
- 00:20:45.568 --> 00:20:47.570
- They're creating confusion, and they're wrong biblically.
- 00:20:47.570 --> 00:20:51.574
- They're wrong historically, and they're wrong spiritually.
- 00:20:51.574 --> 00:21:02.001
- They're wrong historically, and they're wrong spiritually.
- 00:21:02.001 --> 00:21:05.496
- We live in
- 00:21:05.796 --> 00:21:06.897
- Amazing, historic biblical days, and i believe the lord
- 00:21:06.897 --> 00:21:11.235
- Is calling us to rise up, to speak up,
- 00:21:11.235 --> 00:21:14.538
- And to be a defender of israel and the jewish people.
- 00:21:14.538 --> 00:21:17.742
- For this is the day, i think many people say
- 00:21:17.742 --> 00:21:20.344
- We're living in the days like before,
- 00:21:20.344 --> 00:21:23.347
- World war two, when many times at that time,
- 00:21:23.347 --> 00:21:26.851
- Sadly, the church didn't stand with his people
- 00:21:26.851 --> 00:21:29.987
- And they didn't speak out or stand up.
- 00:21:29.987 --> 00:21:32.490
- But i think these are the days
- 00:21:32.490 --> 00:21:34.091
- And i think you're in a wonderful church
- 00:21:34.091 --> 00:21:36.427
- Who teaches about israel, understands
- 00:21:36.427 --> 00:21:39.296
- Israel prophetically, historically, and, and lives
- 00:21:39.296 --> 00:21:43.534
- That out here in the world outreach center.
- 00:21:43.534 --> 00:21:43.534
