- Coming up tonight on praise...
- 00:00:00.957 --> 00:00:03.893
- Most israelis either don't believe or don't care or
- 00:00:05.028 --> 00:00:08.531
- Forgotten that god is our shepherd.
- 00:00:08.531 --> 00:00:11.334
- And what we're seeing is more israelis are talking about god.
- 00:00:11.434 --> 00:00:15.638
- Everyone wants to talk about the scriptures and many,
- 00:00:15.638 --> 00:00:18.641
- Not all, many wanna talk about yeshua.
- 00:00:18.641 --> 00:00:21.010
- Why do you guys believe in jesus?
- 00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:22.645
- God is moving.
- 00:00:22.645 --> 00:00:23.513

- Welcome to praise.
- 00:00:46.803 --> 00:00:48.138
- I'm erick stackelbeck, and it is very clear that israel
- 00:00:48.138 --> 00:00:51.674
- Stands at the very epicenter of global events.
- 00:00:51.674 --> 00:00:54.911
- Politically, militarily, spiritually, there's
- 00:00:54.911 --> 00:00:58.648
- No place like it on earth.
- 00:00:58.648 --> 00:00:59.916
- Israel is god's prophetic timepiece and the key player
- 00:01:00.016 --> 00:01:04.287
- In shaping the future of the middle east and beyond.
- 00:01:04.287 --> 00:01:07.423
- So why does israel matter to you?
- 00:01:07.524 --> 00:01:10.393
- How is god moving today among his people and in his land
- 00:01:10.393 --> 00:01:13.930
- During a very troubled time?
- 00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:16.566
- And what comes next in the world's most pivotal and
- 00:01:16.666 --> 00:01:19.636
- Prophetic region?
- 00:01:19.636 --> 00:01:21.137

- Of jerusalem. yeah.
- 00:01:40.156 --> 00:01:41.124
- It's been a painful year, as you know.
- 00:01:41.124 --> 00:01:42.559
- But let's talk about it.
- 00:01:42.559 --> 00:01:44.928
- No doubt, very painful, joel.
- 00:01:44.928 --> 00:01:47.030
- That's why i'm so glad you're here from october 7 on,
- 00:01:47.030 --> 00:01:50.400
- But god is moving right now in israel.
- 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.536
- I said that in the lead in real quick.
- 00:01:53.536 --> 00:01:55.605
- God is really moving.
- 00:01:55.705 --> 00:01:56.773
- God is up to something.
- 00:01:56.773 --> 00:01:58.041
- Amid all the tragedy and the pain, things are happening.
- 00:01:58.041 --> 00:02:01.277
- Prophetic things are happening.
- 00:02:01.277 --> 00:02:02.912
- You have a front row seat.
- 00:02:02.912 --> 00:02:04.147
- Break it down for us a bit.
- 00:02:04.147 --> 00:02:05.148
- Yeah. well, let's start in a personal way.
- 00:02:05.148 --> 00:02:07.784
- You know, our ministry, the joshua fund, we, my wife and i
- 00:02:09.018 --> 00:02:12.322
- Started eighteen and a half years ago to do what?
- 00:02:12.322 --> 00:02:14.390
- To, to bless israel and her neighbors in the name of jesus.
- 00:02:14.390 --> 00:02:18.661
- Most ministries, even if they have a full biblical view,
- 00:02:18.661 --> 00:02:22.165
- Yes, god loves israel.
- 00:02:22.165 --> 00:02:23.066
- He loves the jewish people.
- 00:02:23.066 --> 00:02:24.267
- He has a special unique plan for us, but he also loves
- 00:02:24.267 --> 00:02:28.271
- The whole world.
- 00:02:28.271 --> 00:02:29.539
- And he certainly loves the palestinians and the lebanese
- 00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:31.074
- And the syrians and the jordanians, iraqis and the
- 00:02:31.074 --> 00:02:33.576
- Egyptians and so forth.
- 00:02:33.576 --> 00:02:34.811
- All true.
- 00:02:34.811 --> 00:02:36.145
- But most ministries don't try to do both simultaneously.
- 00:02:36.145 --> 00:02:39.916
- But that's what god has called us to do. over the last
- 00:02:40.016 --> 00:02:42.885
- Eighteen and a half years,
- 00:02:42.885 --> 00:02:44.187
- God has given us the mercy to invest a hundred million
- 00:02:44.187 --> 00:02:47.390
- Dollars more actually than, to strengthen the church in the
- 00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:50.893
- Middle east, in israel, starting with in all those
- 00:02:50.893 --> 00:02:53.329
- Arab countries, humanitarian relief and pastor support
- 00:02:53.329 --> 00:02:57.634
- And training and so forth.
- 00:02:57.634 --> 00:02:58.701
- Why? because he loves the people of the epicenter.
- 00:02:58.801 --> 00:03:02.705
- Now, i don't believe that god sent
- 00:03:02.705 --> 00:03:06.776
- This horrible october seventh war.
- 00:03:06.776 --> 00:03:09.445
- This is satanic.
- 00:03:09.445 --> 00:03:10.513
- Yeah.
- 00:03:10.513 --> 00:03:11.547
- Satan is trying to rob, kill, and destroy.
- 00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:12.915
- Right?
- 00:03:12.915 --> 00:03:13.716
- God sovereignly has let it happen.
- 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:16.052
- And so we'll we can unpack that over the course
- 00:03:16.052 --> 00:03:18.554
- Of the show.
- 00:03:18.554 --> 00:03:19.889
- But i will say that one of the things about living in israel,
- 00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:22.292
- Lynn and i live in jerusalem, we're dual
- 00:03:22.392 --> 00:03:24.694
- Us-israeli citizens.
- 00:03:24.694 --> 00:03:25.995
- Two of our sons have served in the military, but we're also
- 00:03:25.995 --> 00:03:29.065
- Involved in ministry day to day, not just in reporting, but
- 00:03:29.065 --> 00:03:32.769
- Also day to day on the ground with the pastors ministry
- 00:03:32.769 --> 00:03:35.638
- Leaders in the country and with unbelievers.
- 00:03:35.638 --> 00:03:38.141
- And what we're seeing is more israelis are talking about god,
- 00:03:38.141 --> 00:03:42.578
- Are talking about the bible and even willing to
- 00:03:42.578 --> 00:03:45.448
- Talk about yeshua, jesus, is he, isn't he,
- 00:03:45.448 --> 00:03:49.686
- Than ever in all of modern israeli history.
- 00:03:50.687 --> 00:03:54.023
- We like every pastor and ministry leader we talk to,
- 00:03:54.023 --> 00:03:56.759
- Especially those who are on the front lines, either they're on
- 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.697
- The gaza border or near it, or they're on the lebanon border
- 00:04:00.697 --> 00:04:04.267
- Or near it, they're the ones who say everybody wants to
- 00:04:04.267 --> 00:04:07.437
- Talk about god.
- 00:04:07.437 --> 00:04:08.604
- Everyone wants to talk about the scriptures and many,
- 00:04:08.604 --> 00:04:11.274
- Not all, many wanna talk about yeshua.
- 00:04:11.274 --> 00:04:13.643
- Why do you guys believe in jesus?
- 00:04:13.643 --> 00:04:15.278
- We don't, but you do.
- 00:04:15.278 --> 00:04:17.914
- But now if you get to the center of the country, sort of
- 00:04:17.914 --> 00:04:21.784
- The high-tech corridor, tel aviv, haifa, what we would
- 00:04:21.784 --> 00:04:25.321
- Call the silicon wadi, right?
- 00:04:25.321 --> 00:04:27.523
- That's very secular, hypersecular.
- 00:04:27.523 --> 00:04:29.892
- And there you talk to pastors, ministry leaders, there's less
- 00:04:29.892 --> 00:04:34.263
- Interest in talking about god.
- 00:04:34.263 --> 00:04:36.666
- But the country and the army, almost everyone in the army is
- 00:04:36.766 --> 00:04:40.403
- Reading psalms, they're singing,
- 00:04:40.403 --> 00:04:42.705
- Singing before they go into battle.
- 00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:44.040
- They go into battle. yeah.
- 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.142
- So, think, i think we're in an amos 9:9 moment in
- 00:04:46.142 --> 00:04:52.415
- Israel where god said prophetically through the
- 00:04:52.415 --> 00:04:54.884
- Hebrew prophet amos, chapter nine, verse nine, i will shake
- 00:04:54.884 --> 00:05:00.423
- The whole house of israel among the nations.
- 00:05:00.523 --> 00:05:03.960
- I don't think israel's under judgment.
- 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:05.828
- I don't think that's why god's sovereign will let this happen,
- 00:05:05.828 --> 00:05:09.532
- But we are being shaken.
- 00:05:09.532 --> 00:05:10.933
- Why? cause we're a country that's not--
- 00:05:10.933 --> 00:05:13.202
- Most israelis either don't believe or don't care or
- 00:05:14.270 --> 00:05:17.774
- Forgotten that god is our shepherd.
- 00:05:17.774 --> 00:05:20.410
- This is what david, our greatest king told us, right?
- 00:05:21.577 --> 00:05:24.013
- The lord is my shepherd, right?
- 00:05:24.013 --> 00:05:25.948
- Ezekiel 34.
- 00:05:25.948 --> 00:05:27.150
- And throughout the scriptures, the idea that god says,
- 00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:30.520
- I'm, you are the sheep of my pasture.
- 00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:32.188
- You're my sheep.
- 00:05:32.188 --> 00:05:33.055
- I am your shepherd.
- 00:05:33.055 --> 00:05:34.123
- And of course, yeshua, jesus himself, right?
- 00:05:34.123 --> 00:05:36.759
- John chapter ten, i am the good shepherd.
- 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.761
- Now, even if you set that aside for the moment-- now we don't,
- 00:05:38.761 --> 00:05:42.665
- But as jews, as israelis, many of them are not ready to
- 00:05:42.765 --> 00:05:47.270
- Talk about that yet.
- 00:05:47.270 --> 00:05:48.471
- But first they've forgotten that god is our shepherd,
- 00:05:48.471 --> 00:05:52.175
- The israel shepherd.
- 00:05:52.175 --> 00:05:53.476
- And if you forget or you don't care, or you think god's too
- 00:05:53.476 --> 00:05:55.778
- Mean, or he's incompetent or he's impotent or whatever
- 00:05:55.778 --> 00:05:59.148
- You think, you're like, i don't need a shepherd.
- 00:05:59.148 --> 00:06:01.851
- Oh, okay.
- 00:06:02.185 --> 00:06:03.486
- That means you've forgotten that there are ravenous wolves
- 00:06:03.486 --> 00:06:06.389
- Lurking throughout the countryside waiting to
- 00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:09.258
- And i think what happened on october 7
- 00:06:09.258 --> 00:06:10.426
- Is we just dropped our guard.
- 00:06:10.426 --> 00:06:13.563
- Not just at the political and military level, but overall it
- 00:06:13.663 --> 00:06:16.899
- Was a country that's saying, i don't need a shepherd.
- 00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:19.302
- There's no shepherd.
- 00:06:19.302 --> 00:06:21.037
- And somehow thinking that the middle east had changed and
- 00:06:21.037 --> 00:06:25.408
- That there are no ravenous wolves trying to devour us.
- 00:06:25.408 --> 00:06:28.544
- And this was a very
- 00:06:28.644 --> 00:06:31.280
- Painful awakening.
- 00:06:31.781 --> 00:06:33.049
- And now everybody's rethinking.
- 00:06:33.049 --> 00:06:35.785
- Some religious that i talked to, orthodox, they're like,
- 00:06:35.885 --> 00:06:38.955
- I don't believe in god anymore, or how could god be there
- 00:06:40.156 --> 00:06:43.526
- If he let this happen?
- 00:06:43.526 --> 00:06:44.594
- They're taking no responsibility as a nation.
- 00:06:44.594 --> 00:06:47.797
- Maybe we let this happen.
- 00:06:48.397 --> 00:06:49.699
- Maybe god wanted us to protect us.
- 00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:52.034
- He wants to be our shepherd.
- 00:06:52.034 --> 00:06:53.336
- We didn't want him to be our shepherd.
- 00:06:53.436 --> 00:06:55.304
- So you got secular people
- 00:06:55.905 --> 00:06:57.139
- Saying, i want to talk about god.
- 00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:59.141
- I've never paid attention to god.
- 00:06:59.141 --> 00:07:00.910
- I've met people from the nova music festival.
- 00:07:00.910 --> 00:07:04.413
- This one woman said to me, i was a secularist.
- 00:07:04.514 --> 00:07:07.383
- I didn't care about god.
- 00:07:07.383 --> 00:07:08.384
- I've never read a psalm.
- 00:07:08.384 --> 00:07:09.919
- I never picked up the bible
- 00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:11.153
- A day in my life, now i'm reading the psalms.
- 00:07:11.153 --> 00:07:13.789
- Now i'm searching.
- 00:07:13.789 --> 00:07:15.057
- I need god.
- 00:07:15.057 --> 00:07:15.892
- I need to find him.
- 00:07:15.892 --> 00:07:16.893
- I don't know how to find him.
- 00:07:16.893 --> 00:07:18.294
- So this is some of the things that are going on that we need,
- 00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:21.898
- You know, the tbn audience to be praying about.
- 00:07:21.898 --> 00:07:23.933
- God is moving, but you're not getting that on cnn.
- 00:07:23.933 --> 00:07:26.636
- You're not getting that on msnbc or the new york times.
- 00:07:26.636 --> 00:07:30.540
- You really have to turn to tbn
- 00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:32.508
- To go, what is really happening?
- 00:07:32.508 --> 00:07:34.043
- Yeah.
- 00:07:34.143 --> 00:07:35.378
- God, under the darkness and there's a lot of darkness.
- 00:07:35.378 --> 00:07:37.580
- God is moving.
- 00:07:38.014 --> 00:07:38.781
- The light of christ, the
- 00:07:38.781 --> 00:07:41.150
- Messiah is actually starting to shine.
- 00:07:41.150 --> 00:07:44.186
- And it's a really interesting time.
- 00:07:44.186 --> 00:07:46.155
- Challenging, exhausting, but actually kind of exciting.
- 00:07:46.155 --> 00:07:49.892
- Yeah. you're in the middle of it and the harshest, obviously,
- 00:07:49.892 --> 00:07:52.562
- Joel, of all wake up calls, october seventh.
- 00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:55.164
- But you've been living in israel for a while.
- 00:07:55.164 --> 00:07:57.133
- You've been following it for years.
- 00:07:57.133 --> 00:07:58.701
- Do you sense now a greater openness among the jewish
- 00:07:58.801 --> 00:08:02.071
- People and the people in israel in particular towards jesus,
- 00:08:02.071 --> 00:08:05.141
- Towards yeshua, than ever before?
- 00:08:05.141 --> 00:08:07.009
- Ever before.
- 00:08:07.009 --> 00:08:08.010
- That's true of jews worldwide.
- 00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:09.912
- We've done a lot of research, and the joshua fund has
- 00:08:09.912 --> 00:08:13.316
- Funded a lot of research.
- 00:08:13.316 --> 00:08:14.584
- And we found that since i was born in 1967,
- 00:08:14.684 --> 00:08:18.588
- At that time, there were only two thousand jewish people on
- 00:08:18.688 --> 00:08:21.390
- Planet earth that believed that jesus is the messiah.
- 00:08:21.390 --> 00:08:25.261
- Less than two thousand or fewer.
- 00:08:25.261 --> 00:08:28.164
- Today, we're at about a million.
- 00:08:28.264 --> 00:08:30.933
- Now, most of those, close to nine hundred thousand are
- 00:08:31.033 --> 00:08:33.402
- Here in the united states.
- 00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:34.804
- Then you've about thirty thousand in israel and then
- 00:08:34.904 --> 00:08:37.540
- Europe and brazil and other places around the world.
- 00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:39.909
- But we're at about a million right now.
- 00:08:39.909 --> 00:08:42.144
- Now, when you think of going from two thousand to a million
- 00:08:42.144 --> 00:08:44.814
- In fifty seven, in almost fifty eight years, wow, that is
- 00:08:44.814 --> 00:08:48.551
- Tremendous growth that even
- 00:08:48.551 --> 00:08:49.885
- Much of the church isn't aware of.
- 00:08:49.885 --> 00:08:51.787
- Yes. even jews for jesus and chosen people ministries and
- 00:08:51.787 --> 00:08:55.024
- Others were shocked when that research began to emerge
- 00:08:55.024 --> 00:08:59.261
- Because a lot of people didn't believe it.
- 00:08:59.261 --> 00:09:01.263
- I didn't believe it.
- 00:09:01.263 --> 00:09:02.598
- I believe that there were many more jews in the kingdom than
- 00:09:02.598 --> 00:09:05.534
- Most people thought, but jewish ministries were shocked because
- 00:09:05.635 --> 00:09:11.307
- They were looking at messianic congregations in the united
- 00:09:11.407 --> 00:09:14.410
- States and around the world and
- 00:09:14.410 --> 00:09:15.678
- Thinking, there's not that many.
- 00:09:15.678 --> 00:09:17.079
- And how many jews worldwide, by the way, in the
- 00:09:17.079 --> 00:09:19.015
- United state? so, yeah, right.
- 00:09:19.015 --> 00:09:19.649
- Right. so, there's about
- 00:09:19.649 --> 00:09:20.616
- Fifteen or sixteen million jews total.
- 00:09:20.616 --> 00:09:22.785
- So, now we're talking about a million out of fifteen
- 00:09:22.785 --> 00:09:25.788
- Or sixteen million.
- 00:09:25.788 --> 00:09:26.656
- This is the highest number in
- 00:09:26.656 --> 00:09:28.424
- Sheer numbers in two thousand years.
- 00:09:28.424 --> 00:09:30.393
- It's the highest percentage of
- 00:09:30.393 --> 00:09:32.428
- Jews who believe in jesus as messiah.
- 00:09:32.428 --> 00:09:35.231
- When my father came to faith in jesus as an orthodox jew from
- 00:09:35.331 --> 00:09:38.701
- A jewish, orthodox jewish background, he came to faith
- 00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:41.570
- In 1973.
- 00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:42.838
- He thought he was he was the first jew since the apostle
- 00:09:42.838 --> 00:09:44.807
- Paul who believed this.
- 00:09:44.807 --> 00:09:46.509
- He never met a jew who believed in jesus.
- 00:09:46.509 --> 00:09:48.277
- He never heard of a jew who believed in jesus.
- 00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:50.179
- And in 1973, there weren't that many.
- 00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:52.181
- But now we're at about a million.
- 00:09:52.181 --> 00:09:53.549
- The reason most of the messianic ministries didn't see
- 00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:56.385
- It is because most jews who believe in jesus don't go to
- 00:09:56.385 --> 00:09:59.655
- Messianic congregations.
- 00:09:59.655 --> 00:10:00.890
- They just go to regular bible churches or evangelical
- 00:10:00.890 --> 00:10:04.827
- Churches of different denominations.
- 00:10:04.827 --> 00:10:06.662
- And so they sort of blend into
- 00:10:07.396 --> 00:10:09.398
- The rest of the evangelical culture.
- 00:10:09.398 --> 00:10:12.168
- They don't distinguish themselves as hebrew christians
- 00:10:12.268 --> 00:10:14.770
- Or messianic per se.
- 00:10:14.770 --> 00:10:16.305
- Now, in israel, it's certainly much fewer than in america.
- 00:10:16.405 --> 00:10:20.910
- Well, why would that be?
- 00:10:20.910 --> 00:10:22.078
- Well, it's because here in america, there's so many
- 00:10:22.178 --> 00:10:24.313
- Evangelicals who are loving on their neighbors and praying
- 00:10:24.313 --> 00:10:27.283
- For their neighbors.
- 00:10:27.283 --> 00:10:28.584
- Jews in america have much more contact with people who love
- 00:10:28.584 --> 00:10:31.787
- Jesus here than they do in israel.
- 00:10:31.787 --> 00:10:34.657
- But that body is growing.
- 00:10:34.657 --> 00:10:36.926
- In 1948, our research shows that there
- 00:10:37.026 --> 00:10:40.062
- Were only twenty three
- 00:10:40.062 --> 00:10:42.565
- Jewish followers of jesus, of yeshua, in israel in 1948
- 00:10:42.665 --> 00:10:46.202
- When the country was prophetically reborn.
- 00:10:46.202 --> 00:10:48.404
- Twenty three.
- 00:10:48.404 --> 00:10:49.205
- Now we're at about thirty thousand or so.
- 00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:53.342
- Okay, that's positive, but you're talking about a
- 00:10:53.442 --> 00:10:57.680
- Country of ten million people.
- 00:10:57.680 --> 00:10:59.081
- Yeah. probably eight million jews.
- 00:10:59.081 --> 00:11:01.150
- So you're thinking, well, that's not enough.
- 00:11:01.150 --> 00:11:03.285
- No, it's not.
- 00:11:03.285 --> 00:11:04.854
- The question so right now you're not seeing in israel
- 00:11:04.954 --> 00:11:07.656
- A mass harvest.
- 00:11:07.656 --> 00:11:08.924
- If you're looking for people coming to faith in jesus,
- 00:11:08.924 --> 00:11:11.160
- Go to communist china, right?
- 00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:12.394
- They've gone from a million to a hundred million in the
- 00:11:12.394 --> 00:11:14.930
- Last forty years.
- 00:11:14.930 --> 00:11:16.198
- Or go to iran where they went they had five hundred shia
- 00:11:16.198 --> 00:11:18.901
- Converts to jesus in 1979.
- 00:11:18.901 --> 00:11:21.570
- Now they're at several million.
- 00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:23.672
- Brazil, sub saharan africa,
- 00:11:24.406 --> 00:11:26.142
- These are where the greatest
- 00:11:26.142 --> 00:11:27.176
- Spiritual awakenings are going on.
- 00:11:27.176 --> 00:11:29.311
- But there is a great spiritual awakening going on among the
- 00:11:29.411 --> 00:11:32.314
- Jewish people, but most of it's in the states.
- 00:11:32.314 --> 00:11:34.550
- So, the question is when are we gonna start seeing people come
- 00:11:34.650 --> 00:11:38.454
- To faith in yeshua in israel? and
- 00:11:38.454 --> 00:11:40.923
- I think what we're watching now, but it hasn't really been
- 00:11:41.023 --> 00:11:43.526
- Reported. it's not getting noticed in the midst of all
- 00:11:43.526 --> 00:11:45.895
- This horror of this war, is people are really processing it
- 00:11:45.895 --> 00:11:50.666
- In israel like never before.
- 00:11:50.666 --> 00:11:52.902
- So, that's encouraging.
- 00:11:52.902 --> 00:11:54.370
- I can't predict when
- 00:11:54.904 --> 00:11:56.572
- Open ears and open hearts will turn to decisions.
- 00:11:57.640 --> 00:12:00.810
- We got to keep praying for that.
- 00:12:01.577 --> 00:12:03.412
- Do you see a deeper prophetic meaning behind it, behind this
- 00:12:03.412 --> 00:12:06.649
- Move of the jewish people?
- 00:12:06.649 --> 00:12:08.050
- Gradually, it's not all at once, obviously, as you laid
- 00:12:08.050 --> 00:12:10.152
- Out, joel, but gradually, more and more jews are coming to
- 00:12:10.152 --> 00:12:13.289
- Know yeshua, jesus, as their messiah.
- 00:12:13.289 --> 00:12:15.558
- Do you see a deeper prophetic significance in it, especially
- 00:12:15.658 --> 00:12:18.694
- Considering the prophetic time we're living in right now?
- 00:12:18.694 --> 00:12:21.263
- Absolutely. i first of all,
- 00:12:21.263 --> 00:12:24.700
- There's only one country where god says, when the end of the
- 00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:28.771
- End comes, right before jesus comes back, i'm going to save
- 00:12:28.771 --> 00:12:31.574
- That whole nation.
- 00:12:31.574 --> 00:12:32.508
- That's israel.
- 00:12:32.508 --> 00:12:33.475
- Romans 11:26, all israel will be saved.
- 00:12:33.475 --> 00:12:37.012
- Now, i don't believe that from this moment all the way to the
- 00:12:37.012 --> 00:12:40.015
- End of the tribulation that
- 00:12:40.015 --> 00:12:41.283
- Every single jewish person gets saved.
- 00:12:41.283 --> 00:12:43.219
- I think that is talking about a very specific moment that is
- 00:12:43.319 --> 00:12:47.056
- Connected to zechariah 12 and to other prophecies that
- 00:12:47.056 --> 00:12:51.026
- Say that god's gonna save every single jew that survives
- 00:12:51.026 --> 00:12:53.762
- Through the tribulation, and just before jesus comes back,
- 00:12:53.762 --> 00:12:58.033
- He's gonna open up the fount of grace and a blessing that
- 00:12:58.133 --> 00:13:01.704
- Zechariah speaks of.
- 00:13:01.704 --> 00:13:03.038
- He's gonna pour out his grace on everybody that's left, and
- 00:13:03.038 --> 00:13:05.541
- He's gonna save all of them for his glory, for their good, but
- 00:13:05.541 --> 00:13:10.512
- Not that they've been really listening that much through.
- 00:13:10.512 --> 00:13:13.315
- But my point is, how ever
- 00:13:13.415 --> 00:13:16.886
- A viewer looks at what does romans 11:26
- 00:13:17.786 --> 00:13:21.390
- Exactly mean,
- 00:13:21.390 --> 00:13:22.391
- How do we get to all israel being saved,
- 00:13:22.391 --> 00:13:24.460
- Well, fifty years ago, there was almost no jews saved.
- 00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:27.763
- So you'd think, well, i don't even know how that's--
- 00:13:27.763 --> 00:13:30.165
- Maybe that doesn't mean what it says.
- 00:13:30.165 --> 00:13:32.568
- Maybe that's-- i don't know what that means, right?
- 00:13:32.568 --> 00:13:35.037
- People were like, there have barely been any jews in all of
- 00:13:35.037 --> 00:13:37.706
- Two thousand years who got saved since the first century.
- 00:13:37.706 --> 00:13:40.910
- Now that we know that there are a million, that is telling us
- 00:13:41.010 --> 00:13:46.181
- The scales are coming off our eyes.
- 00:13:46.282 --> 00:13:48.851
- The block of ice around our hearts as jews is melting,
- 00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:54.456
- That the curtain of jewish awakening is going up.
- 00:13:54.456 --> 00:13:59.428
- And this should encourage us.
- 00:13:59.528 --> 00:14:01.263
- Yes, we have the rest of the world to reach as well.
- 00:14:01.263 --> 00:14:04.099
- But romans 1:16, right?
- 00:14:04.199 --> 00:14:06.368
- God is really serious about don't be ashamed.
- 00:14:07.403 --> 00:14:10.940
- Paul says, i'm not ashamed of the gospel.
- 00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:13.309
- Why? because it's the power of god for salvation
- 00:14:13.309 --> 00:14:16.912
- For everyone who believes,
- 00:14:16.912 --> 00:14:17.880
- To the jew first, also for the gentiles.
- 00:14:17.880 --> 00:14:21.917
- Unfortunately, too much of christendom doesn't try to
- 00:14:22.017 --> 00:14:25.521
- Witness to or tell us as jews about jesus at all.
- 00:14:25.521 --> 00:14:29.892
- Roman catholicism mostly doesn't have any interest in,
- 00:14:29.892 --> 00:14:34.063
- Express any interest in sharing the good news of god's love
- 00:14:34.063 --> 00:14:37.633
- For, and or plan of salvation to the jews.
- 00:14:37.633 --> 00:14:42.037
- Liberal modern protestantism doesn't do it, right?
- 00:14:42.137 --> 00:14:46.175
- A lot of reformed theology doesn't believe that current
- 00:14:46.175 --> 00:14:49.812
- Israel has anything to do with biblical prophetic israel.
- 00:14:49.812 --> 00:14:53.148
- Doesn't mean they don't have a heart for evangelism, but it's
- 00:14:53.148 --> 00:14:55.284
- Not a priority for most.
- 00:14:55.284 --> 00:14:57.219
- That's not true of everybody.
- 00:14:57.319 --> 00:14:59.021
- And then you've got what i would say, you know,
- 00:14:59.021 --> 00:15:02.024
- I love christian zionists.
- 00:15:02.024 --> 00:15:02.758
- I'm a christian zionist.
- 00:15:02.758 --> 00:15:03.859
- You're a christian zionist meaning we biblically
- 00:15:03.859 --> 00:15:06.895
- Understand that god has a place for israel and the
- 00:15:06.895 --> 00:15:08.664
- Jewish people, and it's in zion.
- 00:15:08.664 --> 00:15:10.165
- It's in israel.
- 00:15:10.165 --> 00:15:11.467
- But there is something called, i would call hyper christian
- 00:15:11.467 --> 00:15:14.803
- Zionism, which is so focused on giving political support to
- 00:15:14.803 --> 00:15:19.441
- Israel that they, that some of these leaders will also say,
- 00:15:19.441 --> 00:15:23.012
- But don't worry, i will
- 00:15:23.012 --> 00:15:24.913
- Never tell a jewish person about jesus.
- 00:15:24.913 --> 00:15:27.216
- Now that's disappointing because the good news is
- 00:15:27.316 --> 00:15:30.886
- They're standing with israel.
- 00:15:30.886 --> 00:15:31.887
- This is a good thing.
- 00:15:31.887 --> 00:15:33.255
- Yeah. but to say, i'm standing with israel, but don't worry, i
- 00:15:33.255 --> 00:15:36.158
- Won't share jesus and the gospel and the good news with
- 00:15:36.158 --> 00:15:41.530
- God's chosen people.
- 00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:42.865
- That's not, that's not only not good, but i wouldn't want to
- 00:15:42.865 --> 00:15:45.300
- Have that conversation with the jewish messiah face to face
- 00:15:45.300 --> 00:15:48.203
- In heaven one day.
- 00:15:48.203 --> 00:15:48.771
- Don't worry.
- 00:15:48.771 --> 00:15:49.438
- I stood with your people.
- 00:15:49.438 --> 00:15:50.539
- Don't worry.
- 00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.673
- I never told them about you or how to get here.
- 00:15:51.673 --> 00:15:54.309
- There's a flaw and the flaw is a, it's a fissure in
- 00:15:54.410 --> 00:15:59.515
- Romans 1:16 theology.
- 00:15:59.515 --> 00:16:00.949
- Remember the, you and i are old enough to remember the space
- 00:16:01.050 --> 00:16:04.019
- Shuttle challenger blowing up.
- 00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:05.554
- I was in college at that time.
- 00:16:05.554 --> 00:16:07.990
- And when they tracked, how did this space shuttle,
- 00:16:08.090 --> 00:16:09.691
- This billion dollar, whatever it was, spaceship blow up?
- 00:16:09.691 --> 00:16:12.795
- They tracked it down to these little o rings that were
- 00:16:12.895 --> 00:16:15.764
- The size of cheerios.
- 00:16:15.764 --> 00:16:17.466
- And they had gotten cracked.
- 00:16:17.566 --> 00:16:19.034
- They'd gotten dried out, they'd gotten cracked and just a
- 00:16:19.034 --> 00:16:21.537
- Little fissure in a little tiny element of the fitting together
- 00:16:21.537 --> 00:16:26.642
- Of this spaceship under heat, under pressure, under speed,
- 00:16:26.642 --> 00:16:31.580
- Those fissures failed.
- 00:16:32.147 --> 00:16:34.883
- Those o rings, as they were called, failed and it caused
- 00:16:34.883 --> 00:16:38.153
- A massive explosion.
- 00:16:38.153 --> 00:16:39.721
- I believe there are some in christendom, they may
- 00:16:39.822 --> 00:16:43.659
- Truly love jesus, but whether they're on, i don't really care
- 00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:47.529
- About the jews or they're on, i totally care about the jews,
- 00:16:47.529 --> 00:16:50.899
- But i'm not gonna, i don't want to risk my relationship with
- 00:16:50.899 --> 00:16:54.570
- Them by talking about god's plan of salvation.
- 00:16:54.570 --> 00:16:58.273
- There's a fissure somewhere in there, there's a flaw.
- 00:16:58.273 --> 00:17:01.643
- The flaw is, i am a little ashamed of the gospel.
- 00:17:01.643 --> 00:17:05.581
- I don't really believe that it's the power of god for
- 00:17:05.581 --> 00:17:10.452
- Salvation for everyone who believes, including the jews.
- 00:17:10.452 --> 00:17:12.955
- And i don't want to risk that.
- 00:17:12.955 --> 00:17:14.690
- That's, that is where some christian leaders actually, a
- 00:17:14.790 --> 00:17:18.694
- Lot actually come out.
- 00:17:18.694 --> 00:17:21.330
- And what is so tragic about that, erick, is this season that
- 00:17:21.330 --> 00:17:25.767
- We're in, the last fifty years, but definitely the last ten,
- 00:17:25.767 --> 00:17:29.004
- More jews are open.
- 00:17:29.538 --> 00:17:31.140
- They see the love of the christians.
- 00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:33.408
- Even christians who aren't sharing with them, they at
- 00:17:33.408 --> 00:17:35.277
- Least feel the love, the
- 00:17:35.277 --> 00:17:36.645
- Affection, the support, the identification.
- 00:17:36.645 --> 00:17:40.149
- You're not alone in the world.
- 00:17:40.149 --> 00:17:41.416
- Yeah, the world may hate you, radical islam may hate you,
- 00:17:41.517 --> 00:17:44.386
- We don't hate you, we love you.
- 00:17:44.386 --> 00:17:46.188
- But that's prompting our team,
- 00:17:46.288 --> 00:17:48.457
- The jewish team to say, okay, why?
- 00:17:48.457 --> 00:17:50.692
- Why do the people who love jesus, why do you who love
- 00:17:50.692 --> 00:17:53.028
- Jesus, why do you love us?
- 00:17:53.028 --> 00:17:54.429
- We need an answer.
- 00:17:54.930 --> 00:17:56.565
- We have an answer, but we need to be ready to share that
- 00:17:56.665 --> 00:17:59.568
- Answer with everyone who asks.
- 00:17:59.568 --> 00:18:01.537
- And you're providing those answers, joel, not only
- 00:18:01.537 --> 00:18:03.572
- For the jewish people.
- 00:18:03.572 --> 00:18:04.873
- By the way, you mentioned at the top, the joshua fund also
- 00:18:04.873 --> 00:18:06.642
- Focuses on the arab and muslim peoples of the middle east.
- 00:18:06.642 --> 00:18:09.845
- Folks, if you're just joining us, we're here with our good
- 00:18:09.945 --> 00:18:12.014
- Friend joel rosenberg, host, of course, of the rosenberg report
- 00:18:12.014 --> 00:18:15.284
- Right here on tbn, editor in chief of all israel news,
- 00:18:15.284 --> 00:18:18.320
- Best-selling author many times over.
- 00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:20.389
- And one of the topics that joel has really broken down in all
- 00:18:20.389 --> 00:18:23.692
- Of his work is how god is moving among arabs and muslims
- 00:18:23.692 --> 00:18:28.163
- In the middle east as well.
- 00:18:28.163 --> 00:18:29.898
- For the first time in a long time, joel, it seems like
- 00:18:29.898 --> 00:18:31.767
- We've got some good news quite literally
- 00:18:31.767 --> 00:18:33.702
- In the arab and muslim world.
- 00:18:33.702 --> 00:18:35.037
- Talk about that, joel.
- 00:18:35.037 --> 00:18:36.271
- You've shared how muslims in the middle east are having
- 00:18:36.271 --> 00:18:39.408
- Dreams and visions of jesus.
- 00:18:39.408 --> 00:18:41.643
- Yeah. talk more about that.
- 00:18:41.643 --> 00:18:42.778
- People may not know about that.
- 00:18:42.778 --> 00:18:44.179
- Well, so more muslims have come to christ, have left islam,
- 00:18:44.179 --> 00:18:48.784
- Renounced islam, and come to saving knowledge of faith in
- 00:18:48.784 --> 00:18:52.321
- Jesus christ as not just messiah.
- 00:18:52.321 --> 00:18:54.890
- Even the quran says jesus is the messiah, but the quran
- 00:18:54.890 --> 00:18:58.393
- Says jesus isn't god.
- 00:18:58.393 --> 00:18:59.561
- Yeah. that the quran says that jesus didn't die on a
- 00:18:59.561 --> 00:19:03.065
- Cross and he didn't rise again.
- 00:19:03.065 --> 00:19:04.800
- But muslims who revere jesus, in fact, jesus has spoken of
- 00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:10.405
- A lot in the quran.
- 00:19:10.405 --> 00:19:12.341
- Born of a virgin, did miracles, great teacher, and a prophet.
- 00:19:12.441 --> 00:19:16.278
- Okay. that's the beginning, but it's not enough.
- 00:19:16.278 --> 00:19:18.914
- But millions and millions and millions of muslims are
- 00:19:18.914 --> 00:19:22.818
- Discovering that their love for jesus from the quran isn't
- 00:19:22.818 --> 00:19:26.188
- Enough, that they've actually been misled by the quran and
- 00:19:26.188 --> 00:19:29.524
- They are coming to true saving knowledge that jesus is god,
- 00:19:29.524 --> 00:19:33.662
- That not just the messiah, that he is the savior, that he is
- 00:19:33.662 --> 00:19:36.765
- Lord, that he is the crucified and risen savior of the world.
- 00:19:36.765 --> 00:19:41.036
- And the only way to get to god, whom they describe as allah,
- 00:19:41.036 --> 00:19:45.407
- Is through jesus.
- 00:19:45.407 --> 00:19:46.408
- This is huge.
- 00:19:46.508 --> 00:19:47.676
- We are seeing the greatest spiritual awakening among
- 00:19:47.676 --> 00:19:49.578
- Muslims ever in history, and more muslims have come to faith
- 00:19:49.578 --> 00:19:54.650
- In jesus christ in the last fifty or sixty years
- 00:19:54.650 --> 00:19:58.387
- Than in the last fourteen centuries combined.
- 00:19:58.387 --> 00:20:01.990
- This is how dramatic it is.
- 00:20:02.658 --> 00:20:04.026
- It's incredible.
- 00:20:04.026 --> 00:20:04.726
- It's a mighty move of god,
- 00:20:04.726 --> 00:20:05.927
- Joel, and it's a great untold story.
- 00:20:05.927 --> 00:20:08.063
- Yeah. that's why we're telling it right now.
- 00:20:08.063 --> 00:20:09.264
- Yes, that's right.
- 00:20:09.264 --> 00:20:09.898
- Please proceed.
- 00:20:09.898 --> 00:20:10.732
- Well, so it's so astonishing.
- 00:20:10.732 --> 00:20:14.770
- And you think, well, how come 1350 years of
- 00:20:14.770 --> 00:20:19.141
- Ministry missions to the muslims bore so little fruit.
- 00:20:19.141 --> 00:20:23.945
- And why in the last fifty years is it bearing enormous fruit,
- 00:20:23.945 --> 00:20:29.284
- Like astonishing amount of fruit?
- 00:20:29.284 --> 00:20:31.286
- I mean, literally we're probably at fifteen or
- 00:20:31.286 --> 00:20:35.324
- Twenty million muslims who've come to christ.
- 00:20:35.324 --> 00:20:37.893
- Now, we're talking about a world of
- 00:20:37.893 --> 00:20:39.895
- 1.8 billion people.
- 00:20:39.895 --> 00:20:41.396
- So are you saying, joel, that's enough?
- 00:20:41.396 --> 00:20:43.065
- No. i'm not saying that's nearly enough.
- 00:20:43.065 --> 00:20:44.766
- I'm saying we've gone from almost none to, you know,
- 00:20:44.766 --> 00:20:47.936
- Ten million, fifteen million, twenty million.
- 00:20:47.936 --> 00:20:49.538
- This is huge.
- 00:20:49.538 --> 00:20:50.772
- When you look at that dynamic, you ask why?
- 00:20:51.773 --> 00:20:54.509
- Well, i think it's the same reason that jews are coming
- 00:20:54.509 --> 00:20:56.411
- Into the kingdom.
- 00:20:56.411 --> 00:20:57.012
- The spirit is moving.
- 00:20:57.012 --> 00:20:59.014
- God has sovereignly decided to remove the scales from the
- 00:20:59.014 --> 00:21:03.385
- Eyes of people who just don't see it.
- 00:21:03.385 --> 00:21:05.654
- Muslims are very devout about god.
- 00:21:05.654 --> 00:21:07.889
- Oh, yeah.
- 00:21:07.889 --> 00:21:10.425
- They have a zeal.
- 00:21:10.425 --> 00:21:13.595
- It's very much like romans nine--
- 00:21:12.694 --> 00:21:14.930
- Yes.
- 00:21:15.030 --> 00:21:16.398
- Where the apostle paul, who, of course, was a jewish extremist
- 00:21:16.398 --> 00:21:18.433
- Terrorist, really, was a religious terrorist as saul,
- 00:21:18.433 --> 00:21:21.903
- Until he got radically saved on the road to damascus.
- 00:21:21.903 --> 00:21:25.540
- As he writes the book of romans, he's describing of
- 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:28.276
- His own passionate, zealous compatriots within the jewish
- 00:21:28.276 --> 00:21:32.781
- Israelite world, hey, i love my people.
- 00:21:32.781 --> 00:21:36.284
- They are so zealous for god.
- 00:21:36.284 --> 00:21:38.553
- They just don't know that jesus is god.
- 00:21:38.553 --> 00:21:41.790
- They don't understand who he is.
- 00:21:41.790 --> 00:21:44.059
- Well, you take the same language and you say, this is
- 00:21:44.159 --> 00:21:46.561
- Very much true about muslims
- 00:21:46.561 --> 00:21:48.330
- And what god is doing is
- 00:21:48.330 --> 00:21:50.799
- He's decided that prophecies from the book of joel-- not my
- 00:21:52.033 --> 00:21:56.405
- Books, just to be clear, you're not gonna do it. not gonna.
- 00:21:56.405 --> 00:21:59.808
- Wouldn't be-- i'm not talking about my book, but the
- 00:21:59.808 --> 00:22:02.411
- Actual biblical book of joel.
- 00:22:02.411 --> 00:22:04.079
- Those, it's now time to activate those, right?
- 00:22:04.179 --> 00:22:07.549
- And those prophecies were about how in the last days
- 00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:10.519
- Of history, people will see dreams and visions.
- 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.289
- Old men, young men, women,
- 00:22:14.389 --> 00:22:16.525
- People will see dreams and visions.
- 00:22:17.392 --> 00:22:19.194
- And so, what god has done is said, muslims know a
- 00:22:19.194 --> 00:22:24.299
- Little bit about jesus.
- 00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:25.600
- They actually have a tender spot in their heart for jesus.
- 00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:29.271
- They just don't know the real jesus.
- 00:22:29.271 --> 00:22:30.939
- But they are so hardened against jesus by everything
- 00:22:30.939 --> 00:22:34.943
- They're taught in the mosque and the madrasas and in their
- 00:22:34.943 --> 00:22:38.914
- Culture and the media, that god says, i'm gonna
- 00:22:38.914 --> 00:22:42.284
- Supernaturally kickstart this.
- 00:22:42.284 --> 00:22:43.185
- And jesus is appearing
- 00:22:43.185 --> 00:22:45.320
- To muslims in dreams and visions.
- 00:22:46.154 --> 00:22:48.824
- I wrote a book called inside the revolution.
- 00:22:48.824 --> 00:22:52.027
- Yeah. now that book is sixteen years old.
- 00:22:52.027 --> 00:22:55.464
- And so the story has moved a long way from when i wrote it.
- 00:22:55.564 --> 00:22:58.767
- But when i wrote it, i crisscrossed the middle east
- 00:22:58.767 --> 00:23:00.936
- From afghanistan to morocco and all through iraq and meeting
- 00:23:00.936 --> 00:23:06.074
- People who'd say, who'd had these dreams and visions.
- 00:23:06.074 --> 00:23:08.577
- I'd say, talk to me.
- 00:23:08.577 --> 00:23:10.412
- Because it's easy in the west to be skeptical.
- 00:23:10.512 --> 00:23:13.415
- Really? a muslim comes to jesus
- 00:23:13.515 --> 00:23:15.383
- Through a dream, through a vision.
- 00:23:15.383 --> 00:23:17.352
- Maybe the audience of praise isn't skeptical.
- 00:23:17.452 --> 00:23:20.288
- The more you're
- 00:23:20.288 --> 00:23:21.957
- Swimming in the spiritual, the theological
- 00:23:21.957 --> 00:23:27.262
- Streams that the spirit is moving, he's alive and he, and
- 00:23:27.262 --> 00:23:30.899
- He, and this isn't-- you know, the spirit of god in the
- 00:23:30.899 --> 00:23:34.536
- Book of acts is the same spirit of god today.
- 00:23:34.536 --> 00:23:36.204
- Yeah. we're all more open to thinking, oh, god
- 00:23:36.204 --> 00:23:39.774
- Could work that way.
- 00:23:39.774 --> 00:23:40.976
- But there are streams of christendom theological views
- 00:23:40.976 --> 00:23:44.579
- That, no, the spirit doesn't really work that way anymore.
- 00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:47.649
- He did, and that was awesome, but he doesn't today.
- 00:23:47.649 --> 00:23:50.785
- I don't believe that.
- 00:23:50.785 --> 00:23:52.287
- And even if i did, but i don't,
- 00:23:52.387 --> 00:23:54.456
- Crisscrossing the middle east and meeting muslims who've
- 00:23:55.657 --> 00:23:57.659
- Seen division of jesus, did it make them more deadly?
- 00:23:57.659 --> 00:24:00.562
- No. did i mean, i've met, as you have met, terrorists.
- 00:24:00.562 --> 00:24:04.165
- These were terrorists.
- 00:24:04.266 --> 00:24:05.133
- They would have cut my head off.
- 00:24:05.133 --> 00:24:06.301
- They would have shot me in the
- 00:24:06.301 --> 00:24:07.269
- Face as they did to other people.
- 00:24:07.269 --> 00:24:09.638
- Yeah. but they got radically
- 00:24:09.638 --> 00:24:11.306
- Saved through dreams and visions.
- 00:24:11.306 --> 00:24:13.575
- Now, that's not a strategy.
- 00:24:13.575 --> 00:24:14.910
- I want to be clear.
- 00:24:14.910 --> 00:24:16.311
- Dreams and visions aren't a strategy for the church.
- 00:24:16.411 --> 00:24:19.414
- Paul, who records seven dreams and visions,
- 00:24:19.514 --> 00:24:23.785
- Including his vision on the road to damascus of seeing
- 00:24:23.885 --> 00:24:26.521
- Jesus and getting radically saved.
- 00:24:26.521 --> 00:24:28.456
- But he does not tell the church to depend on god's supernatural
- 00:24:28.456 --> 00:24:36.064
- Dreams and visions scenarios to be the way jews, muslims,
- 00:24:36.164 --> 00:24:41.036
- Hindus, anyone else, buddhists get saved.
- 00:24:41.036 --> 00:24:43.705
- We're supposed to share the gospel, right?
- 00:24:43.705 --> 00:24:45.907
- Paul says in romans, how are they supposed to call on the
- 00:24:45.907 --> 00:24:48.643
- Name of someone they haven't heard of?
- 00:24:48.643 --> 00:24:50.145
- Jesus. how are they supposed to hear unless someone tells them?
- 00:24:50.145 --> 00:24:53.315
- How is someone gonna tell them
- 00:24:53.415 --> 00:24:54.783
- Unless they're sent to tell them?
- 00:24:54.783 --> 00:24:56.284
- And that means they're called, they're trained,
- 00:24:56.284 --> 00:24:58.553
- They're funded, right?
- 00:24:58.553 --> 00:24:59.688
- And that's a big part of what the joshua fund does.
- 00:24:59.688 --> 00:25:02.424
- So our job is to tell the gospel, to share the gospel and
- 00:25:02.524 --> 00:25:06.895
- To live the gospel so people say, wow, i see christ's
- 00:25:06.895 --> 00:25:11.800
- Changes in you.
- 00:25:11.800 --> 00:25:13.034
- There's something loving and kind and generous, flawed.
- 00:25:13.034 --> 00:25:15.971
- We're still flawed people, but i see god in you.
- 00:25:16.071 --> 00:25:19.541
- Can you tell me
- 00:25:19.641 --> 00:25:20.842
- How to know the god that you know?
- 00:25:21.676 --> 00:25:23.511
- That's our job.
- 00:25:23.511 --> 00:25:24.846
- God's in supernatural--
- 00:25:25.447 --> 00:25:26.414
- Peter says always have an answer.
- 00:25:26.414 --> 00:25:27.449
- Amen. always have an answer.
- 00:25:27.449 --> 00:25:28.683
- Amen. and so the question is, so the church needs to be
- 00:25:28.683 --> 00:25:33.521
- Sharing with jews and with muslims knowing that the
- 00:25:33.521 --> 00:25:37.158
- Results aren't up to us.
- 00:25:37.158 --> 00:25:38.660
- You know, bill bright of campus crusade back in the day,
- 00:25:38.660 --> 00:25:42.664
- He built this great movement of
- 00:25:42.664 --> 00:25:44.466
- Young people sharing the gospel.
- 00:25:44.566 --> 00:25:45.934
- He said, share christ in the power of the holy spirit and
- 00:25:45.934 --> 00:25:49.404
- Leave the results to god.
- 00:25:49.404 --> 00:25:51.206
- Now that being said, right, stephen shared the gospel
- 00:25:51.206 --> 00:25:55.143
- With paul, who was then saul, and all of the pharisees
- 00:25:55.143 --> 00:25:58.513
- That were stoning him to death.
- 00:25:58.513 --> 00:25:59.948
- Saul didn't get saved through that.
- 00:26:00.815 --> 00:26:03.451
- Now, had an effect, but it
- 00:26:03.451 --> 00:26:05.887
- Needed a supernatural jumpstart.
- 00:26:05.887 --> 00:26:08.156
- Yes. it was like the battery was in the car, the wires were
- 00:26:08.156 --> 00:26:11.259
- Connected, but it was not the engine was not turning until
- 00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:14.796
- The lord supernaturally jumpstarted the spiritual
- 00:26:14.896 --> 00:26:18.533
- Engine inside of saul.
- 00:26:18.533 --> 00:26:20.035
- Saul gets saved.
- 00:26:20.035 --> 00:26:21.670
- So our job is to witness, to share, to preach the gospel
- 00:26:21.770 --> 00:26:26.574
- And to answer everybody's questions.
- 00:26:26.574 --> 00:26:28.410
- But we need to be praying and we need to be aware that within
- 00:26:28.410 --> 00:26:31.780
- The jewish world, but especially among the muslim
- 00:26:31.780 --> 00:26:34.449
- World right now, dreams and visions are god's way, as he
- 00:26:34.449 --> 00:26:38.887
- Said it would be in the book of joel in the last days to
- 00:26:38.887 --> 00:26:41.656
- Jumpstart these spiritual movements.
- 00:26:41.656 --> 00:26:44.325
- And wow, again, when you think of more muslims coming to faith
- 00:26:44.426 --> 00:26:47.262
- In jesus in the last fifty or sixty years than in the last
- 00:26:47.262 --> 00:26:51.032
- Fourteen centuries combined, you say, god's on the move.
- 00:26:51.032 --> 00:26:54.436
- And so even though, radical islam is worse than ever, true,
- 00:26:54.436 --> 00:26:58.440
- But in many ways, the wars we're seeing in the middle
- 00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:01.409
- East, i would say, are physical manifestations of the spiritual
- 00:27:01.409 --> 00:27:06.281
- War that's actually going on in the unseen world.
- 00:27:06.281 --> 00:27:08.783
- There are battles for the souls of muslims and a
- 00:27:08.783 --> 00:27:13.021
- Battle for the souls of jews.
- 00:27:13.021 --> 00:27:14.289
- God's winning this war.
- 00:27:14.889 --> 00:27:16.558
- He is winning more and more.
- 00:27:16.658 --> 00:27:18.193
- He's fighting more and more.
- 00:27:18.193 --> 00:27:20.161
- He's been going ahead israel.
- 00:27:20.161 --> 00:27:22.097
- Literally, joel, seems that he's on the battlefield.
- 00:27:22.197 --> 00:27:25.066
- He's going ahead of israel.
- 00:27:25.066 --> 00:27:26.134
- Yes. and he's fighting the battles.
- 00:27:26.134 --> 00:27:27.535
- There's been some miraculous victories for israel since
- 00:27:27.535 --> 00:27:30.405
- October seventh, not only in a physical sense on the
- 00:27:30.405 --> 00:27:33.441
- Battlefields, but in a diplomatic realm even.
- 00:27:33.441 --> 00:27:35.643
- And part of that, which really goes back to 2020,
- 00:27:35.643 --> 00:27:38.580
- The abraham accords.
- 00:27:38.580 --> 00:27:39.447
- Yes.
- 00:27:39.447 --> 00:27:40.715
- You and i were there at the white house for the signing
- 00:27:40.715 --> 00:27:42.150
- Ceremony, september 2020.
- 00:27:42.150 --> 00:27:43.551
- And folks, we've covered this extensively here on tbn.
- 00:27:43.551 --> 00:27:46.187
- We've had an abraham accords documentary series you can
- 00:27:46.187 --> 00:27:48.523
- Check out at tbn+ right now.
- 00:27:48.523 --> 00:27:50.558
- But look, bahrain, the united arab emirates, morocco, coming
- 00:27:50.658 --> 00:27:54.529
- Into these peace agreements
- 00:27:54.529 --> 00:27:56.030
- With israel, absolutely historic.
- 00:27:56.030 --> 00:27:58.166
- But now that donald trump's back in office, and we're
- 00:27:58.266 --> 00:28:00.535
- Talking about god moving in the muslim world and doing
- 00:28:00.535 --> 00:28:03.138
- Unprecedented things, saudi arabia and israel, there's a
- 00:28:03.138 --> 00:28:08.143
- Lot of talk, joel, that we could see a normalization
- 00:28:08.143 --> 00:28:11.179
- Of relations between these two countries.
- 00:28:11.179 --> 00:28:13.515
- Saudi arabia is the birthplace
- 00:28:13.515 --> 00:28:14.783
- Of islam, the site of mecca and medina.
- 00:28:14.783 --> 00:28:17.185
- This would be absolutely earth shaking-- yeah.
- 00:28:17.285 --> 00:28:19.521
- To see a saudi-israel peace deal,
- 00:28:19.521 --> 00:28:21.156
- A revival of the abraham accords.
- 00:28:21.156 --> 00:28:23.324
- Do you think that's possible?
- 00:28:23.324 --> 00:28:24.659
- A hundred percent, i do.
- 00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:26.161
- In fact, i would i would describe an israeli-saudi
- 00:28:26.161 --> 00:28:29.898
- Peace agreement as the deal of the millennia.
- 00:28:29.898 --> 00:28:32.133
- That's how big it is.
- 00:28:32.133 --> 00:28:33.535
- When president trump was in his first term, he talked about
- 00:28:33.535 --> 00:28:36.771
- The deal of the century.
- 00:28:36.771 --> 00:28:37.906
- Yeah. and that would be wonderful.
- 00:28:37.906 --> 00:28:39.908
- He was talking about a deal between israel and the
- 00:28:39.908 --> 00:28:41.910
- Palestinians, which has gotten farther away at the moment than
- 00:28:41.910 --> 00:28:46.147
- Closer, but he was trying.
- 00:28:46.147 --> 00:28:48.183
- But the deal between israel and the custodians of mecca and
- 00:28:48.283 --> 00:28:53.555
- Medina, the custodians of islam, the epicenter of islam
- 00:28:53.555 --> 00:28:58.893
- And the epicenter of judaism getting together and saying, we
- 00:28:58.893 --> 00:29:01.396
- Don't agree with each other
- 00:29:01.396 --> 00:29:02.530
- On everything, but let's make a deal.
- 00:29:02.530 --> 00:29:04.666
- Let's make peace.
- 00:29:04.666 --> 00:29:05.400
- Let's normalize.
- 00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:06.267
- This is the deal of the millennia.
- 00:29:06.267 --> 00:29:07.769
- And i believe it's not only gonna happen.
- 00:29:07.769 --> 00:29:09.804
- I believe that president trump, i mean, he's been pretty clear.
- 00:29:09.904 --> 00:29:12.574
- He wants to make it happen.
- 00:29:12.574 --> 00:29:14.475
- But let's start with one premise.
- 00:29:14.576 --> 00:29:16.911
- I was speaking to some senior arab officials, including saudi
- 00:29:17.011 --> 00:29:21.783
- Officials recently, and they said something
- 00:29:21.783 --> 00:29:24.519
- Very interesting to me.
- 00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:25.286
- They believe that
- 00:29:25.386 --> 00:29:27.155
- Saudi arabia has made a, they made a mistake in the summer
- 00:29:28.389 --> 00:29:32.160
- Of 2020 three by being so public and open that they
- 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:37.699
- Were just about to make a deal with israel.
- 00:29:37.699 --> 00:29:40.034
- Yeah.
- 00:29:40.034 --> 00:29:40.535
- Now they were.
- 00:29:40.535 --> 00:29:41.135
- They were excited.
- 00:29:41.135 --> 00:29:41.769
- Even the crown prince,
- 00:29:41.769 --> 00:29:43.204
- Mohammed bin salman, went on a very dramatic--
- 00:29:43.204 --> 00:29:46.541
- Who you've met with, by the way.
- 00:29:46.641 --> 00:29:47.809
- Went on fox news program with brett bear.
- 00:29:47.809 --> 00:29:49.777
- Yeah. i've met with him twice for hours and hours,
- 00:29:49.777 --> 00:29:55.149
- And i came away with a very strong impression,
- 00:29:55.149 --> 00:29:56.951
- This is a guy who wants to move in the right timing towards
- 00:29:56.951 --> 00:30:00.555
- Peace with israel.
- 00:30:00.555 --> 00:30:01.623
- But by the time he sat publicly with bret baer,
- 00:30:01.623 --> 00:30:04.659
- He was basically saying the deal is very close.
- 00:30:04.659 --> 00:30:07.428
- I think we can get it done.
- 00:30:07.428 --> 00:30:09.330
- Now the assessment of some senior saudi officials is now
- 00:30:09.430 --> 00:30:13.768
- That, well, that was a mistake.
- 00:30:13.768 --> 00:30:16.404
- We probably made a mistake to say it.
- 00:30:16.404 --> 00:30:18.072
- We did it with good intentions, but the iranians saw it.
- 00:30:18.072 --> 00:30:21.309
- The iranian regime decided to they had to move quickly
- 00:30:21.409 --> 00:30:24.679
- To blow up.
- 00:30:24.679 --> 00:30:25.914
- Yeah. you had to sabotage that deal because that deal is
- 00:30:25.914 --> 00:30:29.884
- Gonna change the middle east forever.
- 00:30:29.884 --> 00:30:31.386
- And the iranian regime was so terrified of that.
- 00:30:31.386 --> 00:30:36.057
- So, just imagine for a second, i think what we're seeing
- 00:30:36.157 --> 00:30:41.429
- In the last few years, last half century for sure,
- 00:30:41.429 --> 00:30:45.400
- But the prayers of evangelical christians
- 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.537
- Are being heard by god and are being answered.
- 00:30:50.571 --> 00:30:53.408
- In other words, more jews are coming to faith in jesus
- 00:30:53.508 --> 00:30:56.411
- Than ever before in all of human history.
- 00:30:56.411 --> 00:30:58.012
- More muslims are coming to faith in jesus than in any
- 00:30:58.012 --> 00:31:01.516
- Time in human history.
- 00:31:01.516 --> 00:31:02.550
- And peace treaties that seemed
- 00:31:02.550 --> 00:31:05.053
- Completely, you know, impossible
- 00:31:05.153 --> 00:31:07.689
- Even ten years ago,
- 00:31:07.789 --> 00:31:09.123
- Ten years ago, have happened, four of them under brokered by
- 00:31:09.123 --> 00:31:13.561
- President trump in just the last four months
- 00:31:13.561 --> 00:31:15.897
- Of his administration-- yeah.
- 00:31:15.897 --> 00:31:17.465
- When everybody said it couldn't happen.
- 00:31:17.565 --> 00:31:20.034
- I remember john kerry, the former secretary of state, when
- 00:31:20.034 --> 00:31:22.904
- He heard about president trump's vision of bringing
- 00:31:22.904 --> 00:31:25.773
- Peace to the middle east, he's like, you know, he basically
- 00:31:25.773 --> 00:31:28.776
- Said, anybody who says that israel can make peace with the
- 00:31:28.776 --> 00:31:34.415
- Outside arab world first rather than with the palestinians
- 00:31:34.415 --> 00:31:38.453
- First, i'm telling you, no, no, no, no.
- 00:31:38.453 --> 00:31:43.024
- That's right.
- 00:31:43.024 --> 00:31:43.524
- Four no's.
- 00:31:43.524 --> 00:31:44.325
- The infamous four no's speech.
- 00:31:44.325 --> 00:31:46.260
- Exactly. and then how many
- 00:31:46.260 --> 00:31:48.162
- Abrahamic accords did we get?
- 00:31:48.162 --> 00:31:51.699
- Four. four.
- 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:52.900
- As you mentioned, united arab emirates,
- 00:31:52.900 --> 00:31:54.402
- Bahrain, morocco, and sudan.
- 00:31:54.402 --> 00:31:57.205
- Sudan's a little troubled, right,
- 00:31:57.205 --> 00:31:58.706
- Because the country's imploded.
- 00:31:58.706 --> 00:32:00.141
- So yeah.
- 00:32:00.141 --> 00:32:01.309
- But still, they're not at war with israel right now,
- 00:32:01.309 --> 00:32:04.012
- So that's a good thing.
- 00:32:04.012 --> 00:32:04.846
- So we're seeing i think that evangelicals don't christians
- 00:32:06.080 --> 00:32:09.884
- Generally don't i'm not sure that with all that's been else
- 00:32:09.884 --> 00:32:13.021
- Has been going on in the world, ukraine and covid and all
- 00:32:13.021 --> 00:32:17.392
- There's a lot going on in the last five years.
- 00:32:17.392 --> 00:32:19.961
- I'm not sure they, we all really fully understand
- 00:32:21.029 --> 00:32:24.932
- How powerful god is answering our prayers.
- 00:32:24.932 --> 00:32:26.768
- We often forget to zoom in and say, that's these big tectonic
- 00:32:26.768 --> 00:32:35.410
- Shifts spiritually and geopolitically, these are
- 00:32:35.510 --> 00:32:39.313
- Not just happening.
- 00:32:39.313 --> 00:32:40.548
- These are happening because of years and years of praying.
- 00:32:40.648 --> 00:32:43.785
- We're praying for the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:32:43.785 --> 00:32:45.153
- Yep. people forget, oh yeah.
- 00:32:45.153 --> 00:32:47.688
- Yeah. that's the peace
- 00:32:47.789 --> 00:32:48.756
- That's helping the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:32:48.756 --> 00:32:50.024
- I can't tell you, erick, i know this happens to you too.
- 00:32:50.024 --> 00:32:52.560
- I meet so many people, including on this speaking
- 00:32:52.560 --> 00:32:55.396
- Tour, i'm on a two month speaking tour,
- 00:32:55.396 --> 00:32:57.665
- People say, the saudis and the israelis peace, isn't that the
- 00:32:57.765 --> 00:33:01.536
- Antichrist deal of daniel nine?
- 00:33:01.536 --> 00:33:02.904
- I'm like -- made a lot.
- 00:33:02.904 --> 00:33:03.638
- Yeah.
- 00:33:03.638 --> 00:33:04.038
- No. okay.
- 00:33:04.038 --> 00:33:04.806
- Hold on.
- 00:33:04.806 --> 00:33:06.040
- There will be an antichrist deal for israel that'll be
- 00:33:06.040 --> 00:33:08.810
- Deceptive and false at some point.
- 00:33:08.810 --> 00:33:11.145
- But that happens after the rapture.
- 00:33:11.145 --> 00:33:13.281
- That happens at the beginning of the tribulation.
- 00:33:13.281 --> 00:33:15.283
- Church is still here.
- 00:33:15.283 --> 00:33:16.451
- We're not there.
- 00:33:16.451 --> 00:33:17.552
- And if every deal, i say this to people.
- 00:33:17.652 --> 00:33:19.787
- I said this yesterday at a church i was speaking of.
- 00:33:19.787 --> 00:33:22.190
- If every deal that's a peace deal between israel and its
- 00:33:22.190 --> 00:33:25.026
- Neighbors is demonic and
- 00:33:25.026 --> 00:33:26.828
- Deceptive and driven by the antichrist,
- 00:33:26.828 --> 00:33:30.231
- Why does the bible tell us to pray for peace?
- 00:33:31.265 --> 00:33:34.202
- Jesus said, blessed are the peacemakers.
- 00:33:34.302 --> 00:33:36.404
- The apostle paul said, make peace with every man to the
- 00:33:36.404 --> 00:33:40.441
- Extent it depends on you.
- 00:33:40.441 --> 00:33:41.909
- The psalmist in psalm thirty four says, seek peace
- 00:33:41.909 --> 00:33:44.946
- And pursue it.
- 00:33:44.946 --> 00:33:45.546
- Obviously david in
- 00:33:45.646 --> 00:33:47.181
- The psalms also, of course, talks about pray for the
- 00:33:48.282 --> 00:33:51.519
- Peace of jerusalem.
- 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:52.753
- So if we're supposed to do it and jesus is blessing it,
- 00:33:52.753 --> 00:33:55.656
- How can it all be deceptive?
- 00:33:55.656 --> 00:33:57.391
- It doesn't mean it's gonna be perfect.
- 00:33:57.391 --> 00:33:59.260
- Peace trees are not perfect,
- 00:33:59.260 --> 00:34:01.062
- But we are supposed to pursue peace.
- 00:34:01.162 --> 00:34:03.931
- And when we pray for it, let's not then, when god says yes,
- 00:34:04.031 --> 00:34:08.436
- Think, ah, that's from the devil.
- 00:34:08.436 --> 00:34:10.404
- No, it's not from the devil.
- 00:34:10.404 --> 00:34:12.440
- It's we need more jews and muslims in the region are more
- 00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:17.645
- Likely to listen to the lord and spend time reading the word
- 00:34:17.645 --> 00:34:21.916
- And spend time talking to people when things are calmer.
- 00:34:21.916 --> 00:34:24.285
- Now sometimes in crisis, yes, people turn to god in crisis,
- 00:34:24.285 --> 00:34:28.022
- But sometimes the crisis is so
- 00:34:28.022 --> 00:34:29.390
- Bad, you're in total survival mode.
- 00:34:29.390 --> 00:34:32.260
- You can't really think outside that box.
- 00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:34.428
- Often when it's a little bit quieter and things are a little
- 00:34:34.428 --> 00:34:37.165
- Bit calmer, can you have those types of conversations?
- 00:34:37.165 --> 00:34:40.434
- So i believe, yes, god is
- 00:34:40.434 --> 00:34:42.036
- Allowing the reason to be shaken.
- 00:34:42.036 --> 00:34:44.038
- Yes, that's true.
- 00:34:44.038 --> 00:34:45.640
- And that's helping spiritually.
- 00:34:46.407 --> 00:34:47.942
- But he also gives times of
- 00:34:47.942 --> 00:34:50.144
- Reprieve and rest so people can process
- 00:34:50.144 --> 00:34:54.081
- What they need to, which is, is jesus who he says he is?
- 00:34:55.283 --> 00:34:59.687
- Is he god?
- 00:34:59.687 --> 00:35:01.022
- Is he the only savior?
- 00:35:01.022 --> 00:35:02.390
- Is he the only way to heaven or isn't he?
- 00:35:02.390 --> 00:35:05.026
- People need to hear it, they need to process it, and they
- 00:35:05.026 --> 00:35:08.930
- Need to either receive it or reject it.
- 00:35:08.930 --> 00:35:12.967
- Living in the middle east is a complicated environment,
- 00:35:14.135 --> 00:35:16.904
- But we're seeing huge, huge answers to prayer.
- 00:35:16.904 --> 00:35:20.041
- And i believe we're heading towards a saudi-israeli deal.
- 00:35:20.041 --> 00:35:24.278
- Gaza is, i think, now become
- 00:35:24.946 --> 00:35:27.415
- The linchpin of that whole process.
- 00:35:27.415 --> 00:35:29.183
- I wanna ask you about that.
- 00:35:29.183 --> 00:35:30.318
- You mentioned outside the box thinking, joel.
- 00:35:30.318 --> 00:35:32.286
- I think of president trump, of course, his new gaza plan.
- 00:35:32.286 --> 00:35:34.822
- We wanna break that down.
- 00:35:34.822 --> 00:35:35.890
- And any prophetic implications there as well.
- 00:35:35.890 --> 00:35:38.059
- But, folks, you may be shocked to learn that, yes, good things
- 00:35:38.059 --> 00:35:41.762
- Are happening in the world's most volatile and chaotic
- 00:35:41.762 --> 00:35:44.198
- Region, the middle east, as
- 00:35:44.198 --> 00:35:45.299
- Joel has been laying out for us.
- 00:35:45.299 --> 00:35:47.068
- This is joel rosenberg, of course, host of the rosenberg
- 00:35:47.068 --> 00:35:49.537
- Report, seen here every week on tbn, best-selling author many
- 00:35:49.537 --> 00:35:53.307
- Many times over, editor in chief of all israel news.
- 00:35:53.307 --> 00:35:56.010
- And joel mentioned gaza and how gaza could be the
- 00:35:56.010 --> 00:35:59.947
- Next big thing, so to speak.
- 00:35:59.947 --> 00:36:01.816
- President trump puts his plan forth, joel, essentially
- 00:36:01.916 --> 00:36:05.453
- Saying, look, we're gonna relocate the
- 00:36:05.453 --> 00:36:07.955
- Palestinians out of gaza.
- 00:36:07.955 --> 00:36:09.190
- It's been a terror hotbed, a hornet's nest for decades
- 00:36:09.190 --> 00:36:12.760
- And surrounding arab muslim countries.
- 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.029
- Now, we're gonna do something new in gaza.
- 00:36:15.029 --> 00:36:16.897
- Behold, i'm doing something new, right.
- 00:36:16.897 --> 00:36:18.666
- And rebuild gaza.
- 00:36:18.666 --> 00:36:20.368
- What are your thoughts on it?
- 00:36:21.135 --> 00:36:22.536
- I mean, there's a lot of different opinions on this.
- 00:36:22.536 --> 00:36:24.438
- It's outside the box, number one.
- 00:36:24.538 --> 00:36:26.274
- It is.
- 00:36:26.274 --> 00:36:27.541
- Because we've been banging our heads against the wall for
- 00:36:27.541 --> 00:36:29.410
- Decades doing the same thing over and over in gaza.
- 00:36:29.410 --> 00:36:32.179
- Billions of dollars, terror groups pocket it, use it to
- 00:36:32.179 --> 00:36:35.316
- Launch attacks against israel, then we rebuild gaza
- 00:36:35.316 --> 00:36:38.519
- And the beat goes on.
- 00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:39.320
- Right. this is certainly an
- 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:40.688
- Outside the box kind of proposal.
- 00:36:40.688 --> 00:36:44.225
- Do you believe there are some prophetic implications here
- 00:36:44.325 --> 00:36:47.662
- Even with this gaza proposal from president trump?
- 00:36:47.662 --> 00:36:51.132
- Probably. probably.
- 00:36:51.666 --> 00:36:53.534
- Let's let's set some context
- 00:36:53.534 --> 00:36:55.536
- Because most people are like, okay.
- 00:36:55.536 --> 00:36:57.271
- What's going on again?
- 00:36:57.271 --> 00:36:58.472
- So let's you know, you and i are sort of area experts,
- 00:36:58.472 --> 00:37:02.009
- So we--
- 00:37:02.009 --> 00:37:02.677
- Let's broaden this out.
- 00:37:02.677 --> 00:37:03.678
- I want my mom to understand it.
- 00:37:03.678 --> 00:37:05.012
- I want my my friends, you know,
- 00:37:05.012 --> 00:37:06.814
- Who this is not their day to day.
- 00:37:06.814 --> 00:37:08.282
- Okay. so a couple of things.
- 00:37:08.282 --> 00:37:09.950
- So during this last sixteen, seventeen months, one of the
- 00:37:09.950 --> 00:37:14.055
- Big refrains from the arab leadership, but also from the
- 00:37:14.055 --> 00:37:18.059
- Biden administration and from all of european government is,
- 00:37:18.059 --> 00:37:23.164
- Prime minister netanyahu, what's your day after plan?
- 00:37:23.264 --> 00:37:25.700
- What's your day after plan?
- 00:37:25.700 --> 00:37:28.202
- After gaza, after, you know, after the war is over, what
- 00:37:26.934 --> 00:37:30.805
- What are you gonna do?
- 00:37:30.805 --> 00:37:31.539
- What's your day after plan?
- 00:37:31.539 --> 00:37:34.308
- And netanyahu is like, listen,
- 00:37:32.306 --> 00:37:36.043
- My plan right now is to win.
- 00:37:36.143 --> 00:37:38.646
- I mean, they were asking this, like, on october eighth.
- 00:37:38.646 --> 00:37:41.082
- Yeah. exactly.
- 00:37:41.082 --> 00:37:41.849
- Exactly. every day since.
- 00:37:41.949 --> 00:37:43.384
- And they're he's like, look,
- 00:37:43.384 --> 00:37:44.452
- My idea is to win.
- 00:37:44.452 --> 00:37:45.686
- And by the way, you're not helping me.
- 00:37:45.686 --> 00:37:47.688
- Yeah. you know, he would, you know, he would try to say it as
- 00:37:47.788 --> 00:37:50.524
- Respectfully as he could, but, like, you know, president biden
- 00:37:50.524 --> 00:37:54.428
- Briefly wanted us to fight in gaza with one hand tied
- 00:37:54.428 --> 00:37:59.300
- Behind our back.
- 00:37:59.300 --> 00:38:00.568
- He was, the biden's view was you're gonna stop fighting.
- 00:38:00.568 --> 00:38:05.840
- That's how you're gonna get your hostages out.
- 00:38:05.940 --> 00:38:08.008
- And then you're not gonna go back to fighting.
- 00:38:08.008 --> 00:38:10.144
- That's the deal.
- 00:38:10.144 --> 00:38:11.178
- That's the biden plan of may of last year.
- 00:38:11.178 --> 00:38:13.547
- Prime minister netanyahu was like, look, you know, joe, you
- 00:38:13.647 --> 00:38:16.817
- And i have known each other fifty years and we like each
- 00:38:16.817 --> 00:38:19.153
- Other, but i just, you know, i hear you.
- 00:38:19.153 --> 00:38:21.655
- I just disagree with you.
- 00:38:21.655 --> 00:38:22.890
- You're asking me to surrender.
- 00:38:22.890 --> 00:38:24.258
- Yeah. we cannot surrender.
- 00:38:24.258 --> 00:38:25.893
- Hamas had already said, we're going do this again and again
- 00:38:25.893 --> 00:38:28.763
- And again and again and again.
- 00:38:28.763 --> 00:38:31.098
- You know, the genocidal ambitions
- 00:38:31.198 --> 00:38:34.568
- Of hamas leadership is not a secret.
- 00:38:35.403 --> 00:38:39.940
- No. it's in their charter from 1987,
- 00:38:39.940 --> 00:38:43.010
- And it's part of their plan.
- 00:38:43.010 --> 00:38:43.778
- It's a demonic death cult.
- 00:38:43.778 --> 00:38:45.279
- It is.
- 00:38:45.279 --> 00:38:45.813
- Modern-day nazis.
- 00:38:45.813 --> 00:38:46.814
- Absolutely. no doubt.
- 00:38:46.814 --> 00:38:47.948
- A hundred percent.
- 00:38:47.948 --> 00:38:49.049
- So, so what, what president biden and his team
- 00:38:49.049 --> 00:38:51.519
- Were offering was surrender.
- 00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:53.521
- And, and netanyahu was, no.
- 00:38:53.521 --> 00:38:55.289
- Now netanyahu in may of last year, he didn't know that
- 00:38:55.289 --> 00:38:59.560
- Biden wasn't gonna keep running.
- 00:38:59.560 --> 00:39:01.095
- He didn't know that harris was gonna lose and he didn't know
- 00:39:01.195 --> 00:39:03.764
- That trump was gonna win.
- 00:39:03.764 --> 00:39:06.700
- But he made a gamble and that is, i can't, i want the
- 00:39:06.700 --> 00:39:11.806
- Hostages back, but i cannot surrender.
- 00:39:11.806 --> 00:39:14.175
- At the end of the day, we've got to win a hundred percent.
- 00:39:14.275 --> 00:39:19.146
- It's going be total victory in gaza.
- 00:39:19.146 --> 00:39:21.515
- Okay. so that's what that's the context.
- 00:39:21.515 --> 00:39:24.452
- Now, the dramatic reversal of biden harris to trump vance
- 00:39:24.552 --> 00:39:32.159
- Is the biggest game changer on the planet right now.
- 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:34.929
- Yeah.
- 00:39:34.929 --> 00:39:35.729
- Right? and it is the answer to
- 00:39:35.729 --> 00:39:37.932
- Tens of millions of christians' prayers.
- 00:39:38.032 --> 00:39:39.633
- So that's a big moment too.
- 00:39:39.633 --> 00:39:41.135
- And it's having an effect already in the middle east.
- 00:39:41.135 --> 00:39:43.137
- Now, president biden
- 00:39:43.137 --> 00:39:46.073
- Refused to even
- 00:39:46.073 --> 00:39:48.142
- Invite prime minister netanyahu,
- 00:39:48.142 --> 00:39:50.211
- America's main ally, in a hot
- 00:39:50.911 --> 00:39:52.913
- War being attacked from seven directions,
- 00:39:52.913 --> 00:39:55.316
- Biden refused to invite netanyahu to the white house.
- 00:39:55.416 --> 00:39:57.818
- So trump says, we're not gonna do it that way.
- 00:39:57.818 --> 00:40:03.190
- And he invites netanyahu as the first foreign guest,
- 00:40:03.290 --> 00:40:06.760
- The first foreign leader in.
- 00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:07.928
- And then he shocks netanyahu.
- 00:40:08.028 --> 00:40:10.264
- Netanyahu would never have asked this in a million years.
- 00:40:10.264 --> 00:40:13.033
- I've known him for a quarter of a century.
- 00:40:13.033 --> 00:40:14.535
- I'm telling you, it never dawned on benjamin netanyahu to
- 00:40:14.535 --> 00:40:18.706
- Ask trump, would america just take responsibility for gaza?
- 00:40:18.706 --> 00:40:23.811
- But trump comes out and he, know, he-- i'm paraphrasing.
- 00:40:23.911 --> 00:40:27.515
- He's like, we're gonna make gaza great again.
- 00:40:27.515 --> 00:40:29.950
- Erick, you didn't you're probably thinking gaza was
- 00:40:29.950 --> 00:40:32.453
- Never great and it wasn't, but we're gonna make it great.
- 00:40:32.453 --> 00:40:35.055
- I'm gonna take it.
- 00:40:35.055 --> 00:40:35.789
- I'm gonna own it.
- 00:40:35.789 --> 00:40:36.524
- I'm gonna clear it.
- 00:40:36.524 --> 00:40:37.291
- I'm gonna build it.
- 00:40:37.291 --> 00:40:38.025
- It's gonna be fantastic.
- 00:40:38.025 --> 00:40:39.159
- We're gonna have trump tower.
- 00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:40.194
- We're gonna have gaza-a-largo.
- 00:40:40.194 --> 00:40:41.762
- We're gonna have disney gaza.
- 00:40:41.762 --> 00:40:43.163
- It's gonna be great.
- 00:40:43.163 --> 00:40:44.098
- We're gonna have boardwalks and ski ball.
- 00:40:44.098 --> 00:40:45.566
- It's gonna be fantastic.
- 00:40:45.566 --> 00:40:46.700
- You're gonna wanna vacation there.
- 00:40:46.700 --> 00:40:48.536
- Alright. i'm paraphrasing a little bit.
- 00:40:48.536 --> 00:40:50.671
- But the heart of what he said was
- 00:40:51.405 --> 00:40:54.508
- Everybody's been saying, where's
- 00:40:55.276 --> 00:40:57.177
- Netanyahu's plan?
- 00:40:57.177 --> 00:40:59.313
- Trump comes in, he says to the arab world, where's your plan?
- 00:40:59.413 --> 00:41:02.716
- To the europeans, where's your plan?
- 00:41:02.816 --> 00:41:05.152
- You guys have no plan.
- 00:41:05.152 --> 00:41:06.287
- The month the war is sixteen months old.
- 00:41:06.287 --> 00:41:08.689
- Where's your plan?
- 00:41:08.789 --> 00:41:10.190
- Okay. i have a plan.
- 00:41:10.291 --> 00:41:11.659
- You guys don't have one.
- 00:41:11.659 --> 00:41:13.027
- I have one.
- 00:41:13.027 --> 00:41:14.061
- I'm in charge.
- 00:41:14.161 --> 00:41:15.663
- You could see the smile on netanyahu's face.
- 00:41:16.664 --> 00:41:18.532
- Oh, yeah.
- 00:41:18.532 --> 00:41:18.966
- I'm sorry.
- 00:41:18.966 --> 00:41:19.633
- What? you're in charge?
- 00:41:19.633 --> 00:41:20.301
- You're gonna take over?
- 00:41:20.301 --> 00:41:21.068
- He was shocked too. shocked.
- 00:41:21.068 --> 00:41:21.902
- At the podium.
- 00:41:21.902 --> 00:41:22.636
- I think he heard it maybe
- 00:41:22.636 --> 00:41:24.038
- An hour or two before, but just astonished.
- 00:41:24.038 --> 00:41:28.008
- It never dawned on him.
- 00:41:28.008 --> 00:41:29.843
- So what's trump's plan?
- 00:41:30.444 --> 00:41:32.446
- Well, he sends in steve witkoff.
- 00:41:32.446 --> 00:41:34.148
- Steve witkoff is the new top middle east envoy, the jared
- 00:41:34.148 --> 00:41:38.953
- Kushner of the second term.
- 00:41:38.953 --> 00:41:41.155
- Witkoff is jewish.
- 00:41:41.655 --> 00:41:43.557
- Steve witkoff has no middle east experience.
- 00:41:43.557 --> 00:41:45.826
- But what does he have?
- 00:41:45.826 --> 00:41:46.760
- First, he has trump's trust.
- 00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:49.663
- Second, he's a negotiator par excellence.
- 00:41:49.763 --> 00:41:52.766
- Yeah. mean, he's just world class.
- 00:41:52.766 --> 00:41:54.268
- He's a real estate developer, like trump, in new york.
- 00:41:54.268 --> 00:41:57.538
- Not easy.
- 00:41:57.538 --> 00:41:58.539
- Right? and
- 00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:00.107
- So the first thing witkoff does is he gets sent by trump to go
- 00:42:01.408 --> 00:42:04.178
- Negotiate the hostage deal.
- 00:42:04.178 --> 00:42:05.913
- And lo and behold, all the hostages that were supposed to
- 00:42:05.913 --> 00:42:09.283
- Come out in the first phase, they came out.
- 00:42:09.283 --> 00:42:12.119
- Biden couldn't get it done.
- 00:42:12.786 --> 00:42:14.088
- Trump and witkoff do.
- 00:42:14.655 --> 00:42:16.323
- The next thing trump asked witkoff to do is go to gaza.
- 00:42:16.323 --> 00:42:20.894
- No american official has gone into gaza in fifteen years.
- 00:42:20.894 --> 00:42:25.165
- I went as a reporter, but i'm not a i'm not an official.
- 00:42:25.165 --> 00:42:29.536
- Like i don't have any
- 00:42:29.536 --> 00:42:31.305
- Diplomatic experience or anything.
- 00:42:32.139 --> 00:42:33.941
- So, what does steve witkoff see?
- 00:42:33.941 --> 00:42:36.810
- He sees what i saw.
- 00:42:36.910 --> 00:42:38.312
- Apocalyptic wasteland as far as the eye could i mean,
- 00:42:38.412 --> 00:42:41.815
- Almost every building is damaged or destroyed.
- 00:42:41.815 --> 00:42:44.018
- Why? because almost every building had rockets coming out
- 00:42:44.018 --> 00:42:47.021
- Of and had to be bombed or had terrorists shooting out of it
- 00:42:47.021 --> 00:42:50.190
- And had to be bombed or had weapons stored in it.
- 00:42:50.190 --> 00:42:54.528
- And then it was booby trapped.
- 00:42:54.528 --> 00:42:55.896
- So israeli soldiers couldn't safely get in there.
- 00:42:55.896 --> 00:42:58.832
- So they bombed them.
- 00:42:58.932 --> 00:42:59.933
- Gaza was essentially one big booby trap.
- 00:42:59.933 --> 00:43:02.436
- Absolutely. nothing like it.
- 00:43:02.436 --> 00:43:04.772
- A base camp for terror.
- 00:43:04.772 --> 00:43:05.906
- Yeah. okay.
- 00:43:05.906 --> 00:43:07.574
- So trump says, okay, steve, what did you see?
- 00:43:07.574 --> 00:43:10.177
- Apocalyptic wasteland.
- 00:43:10.177 --> 00:43:12.046
- Unexploded ordinance, weapons everywhere, and of course,
- 00:43:12.146 --> 00:43:15.282
- Terrorists running amok.
- 00:43:15.282 --> 00:43:16.383
- Okay, steve, what do we do?
- 00:43:16.383 --> 00:43:18.152
- Well, anyone who's saying it's gonna take three years to
- 00:43:18.152 --> 00:43:20.954
- Rebuild this, they're smoking crack.
- 00:43:20.954 --> 00:43:23.190
- Again, paraphrasing.
- 00:43:23.190 --> 00:43:24.925
- Witkoff says it's going to take ten to fifteen years, but the
- 00:43:25.025 --> 00:43:27.261
- First thing he has to do is get people safe.
- 00:43:27.261 --> 00:43:29.263
- They have to, we have to remove them to safety so that
- 00:43:29.263 --> 00:43:32.433
- We can clear the ruins and the
- 00:43:32.433 --> 00:43:35.035
- Wreckage and the bombs and the bullets.
- 00:43:35.035 --> 00:43:36.770
- Yeah. and then start to have
- 00:43:36.770 --> 00:43:38.405
- Engineers assess what's possible.
- 00:43:38.405 --> 00:43:41.842
- They got 500 miles of tunnels that some of them have
- 00:43:41.942 --> 00:43:44.812
- Blown up, others are sagging.
- 00:43:44.812 --> 00:43:47.214
- Can you build on top of them?
- 00:43:47.314 --> 00:43:48.816
- You have to assess it.
- 00:43:48.816 --> 00:43:50.084
- And then you need a plan and then you need money and then
- 00:43:50.084 --> 00:43:52.453
- You need to start to build.
- 00:43:52.453 --> 00:43:53.787
- So witkoff says to trump,
- 00:43:53.787 --> 00:43:56.356
- I don't see that there's enough space in gaza to take two
- 00:43:56.457 --> 00:43:59.660
- Million people that are destitute and, you know, shell
- 00:43:59.660 --> 00:44:03.831
- Shocked and grieving and traumatized and leave them
- 00:44:03.831 --> 00:44:07.801
- There, what,in tents for the next ten to fifteen years?
- 00:44:07.801 --> 00:44:10.904
- I mean, that's not compassionate.
- 00:44:10.904 --> 00:44:12.139
- We're gonna have to move them out.
- 00:44:12.139 --> 00:44:14.675
- So this is where trump on air force one
- 00:44:14.775 --> 00:44:16.176
- Starts floating out,
- 00:44:16.176 --> 00:44:18.011
- We're gonna move them to egypt.
- 00:44:18.011 --> 00:44:19.780
- We're gonna move them to jordan and the saudis
- 00:44:19.780 --> 00:44:22.950
- Are gonna pay for it.
- 00:44:22.950 --> 00:44:23.784
- Now the egyptians and the
- 00:44:24.384 --> 00:44:25.953
- Jordanians are like, i'm sorry, what?
- 00:44:25.953 --> 00:44:27.955
- And they would they're not happy about this.
- 00:44:27.955 --> 00:44:29.957
- No.
- 00:44:29.957 --> 00:44:31.558
- Now then brett baer asked the question on fox news,
- 00:44:31.658 --> 00:44:36.430
- Mr. president, you've said you want to rebuild gaza.
- 00:44:36.430 --> 00:44:39.533
- Okay? and it's going to take ten to fifteen years.
- 00:44:39.533 --> 00:44:42.536
- Okay? and that you want to move everybody out while you build.
- 00:44:42.536 --> 00:44:45.939
- Now, what i want to ask you, brett baer said, was then
- 00:44:45.939 --> 00:44:50.644
- The palestinians from gaza have the right to go back, right?
- 00:44:50.644 --> 00:44:53.981
- This was the game- changing conversation,
- 00:44:54.081 --> 00:44:56.150
- The moment where everything changed, where trump says,
- 00:44:56.150 --> 00:44:59.887
- No, they're not going to go back.
- 00:44:59.887 --> 00:45:01.455
- And baer was like, but you wanna build
- 00:45:01.555 --> 00:45:07.261
- This beautiful place.
- 00:45:07.261 --> 00:45:08.395
- So that's for the palestinians.
- 00:45:09.163 --> 00:45:11.331
- Right? they're not gonna wanna go back because they're already
- 00:45:11.331 --> 00:45:14.201
- Gonna have great houses, you know, in egypt or jordan
- 00:45:14.201 --> 00:45:17.271
- Or syria or--
- 00:45:17.271 --> 00:45:18.172
- And joel, hold the phone, folks.
- 00:45:18.272 --> 00:45:20.407
- I should have mentioned joel also hosts a stand up comedy
- 00:45:20.407 --> 00:45:23.443
- Show every saturday night.
- 00:45:23.443 --> 00:45:25.145
- Clear enough.
- 00:45:25.145 --> 00:45:25.913
- Incredible right here on tbn.
- 00:45:25.913 --> 00:45:28.148
- But, joel, go ahead.
- 00:45:28.148 --> 00:45:28.916
- In all seriousness, go ahead.
- 00:45:28.916 --> 00:45:30.317
- Who needs snl when you have tbn?
- 00:45:30.317 --> 00:45:32.653
- Come on.
- 00:45:32.653 --> 00:45:33.120
- Right? okay.
- 00:45:33.120 --> 00:45:33.954
- I'll stop that.
- 00:45:33.954 --> 00:45:34.555
- But the point being
- 00:45:34.555 --> 00:45:35.823
- So then that really changed the dynamic.
- 00:45:36.824 --> 00:45:39.259
- First, it was a sort of a trump's compassionate approach
- 00:45:39.259 --> 00:45:42.896
- To just what do you do?
- 00:45:42.896 --> 00:45:45.165
- Then it became to the arab ear, oh, you just want to get rid
- 00:45:45.265 --> 00:45:50.804
- Of everybody and never let them come back.
- 00:45:50.804 --> 00:45:53.207
- Now that has been done in most wars.
- 00:45:54.041 --> 00:45:57.511
- Okay.
- 00:45:57.811 --> 00:45:58.278
- Oh, yeah.
- 00:45:58.278 --> 00:45:59.546
- So this is when, when you have an aggressor who does a sneak
- 00:45:59.646 --> 00:46:03.383
- Attack and, and then is unrepentant, when they lose,
- 00:46:03.383 --> 00:46:09.223
- They usually don't get to have their own terms.
- 00:46:09.323 --> 00:46:12.292
- Especially as you said, if they initiate the war,
- 00:46:12.392 --> 00:46:15.262
- There's consequences for exactly.
- 00:46:15.262 --> 00:46:16.930
- Exactly. so where does this leave us?
- 00:46:17.030 --> 00:46:19.399
- And your central question is, could this be prophetic?
- 00:46:19.399 --> 00:46:22.936
- And it could.
- 00:46:23.036 --> 00:46:23.937
- And i want to explain quickly how.
- 00:46:23.937 --> 00:46:25.539
- So there's two things that could be happening here.
- 00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:28.075
- The first thing is that trump could be saying all of this
- 00:46:28.075 --> 00:46:31.912
- That i just walked through as an early negotiating position
- 00:46:31.912 --> 00:46:37.517
- To get a saudi-israeli deal.
- 00:46:37.517 --> 00:46:39.286
- Yeah.
- 00:46:39.286 --> 00:46:40.387
- Trump's approach, well, so that's one option.
- 00:46:40.387 --> 00:46:43.891
- I'll explain that.
- 00:46:43.891 --> 00:46:45.125
- The second option is that this is prophecy, that this is
- 00:46:45.125 --> 00:46:46.894
- Zephaniah chapter two.
- 00:46:46.894 --> 00:46:48.428
- Zephaniah chapter two, most people have never studied it.
- 00:46:48.428 --> 00:46:52.032
- I would encourage people to dust it off, go look at it.
- 00:46:52.032 --> 00:46:55.936
- In the last days before the tribulation, the bible says
- 00:46:56.036 --> 00:47:00.540
- That gaza will be abandoned and basically uninhabited anymore.
- 00:47:00.540 --> 00:47:06.413
- And then god is going to give the land back to judah, the
- 00:47:06.413 --> 00:47:09.683
- Tribe of israel.
- 00:47:09.683 --> 00:47:11.251
- Is that what trump's about to do?
- 00:47:12.052 --> 00:47:13.954
- I don't know.
- 00:47:14.388 --> 00:47:15.789
- So, if we have another moment, i'll, i'll, i'll walk
- 00:47:15.889 --> 00:47:19.159
- Through the, the-- but this is possible.
- 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:20.694
- We don't i never even imagined it.
- 00:47:20.694 --> 00:47:22.262
- Yeah. we don't nor did i.
- 00:47:22.262 --> 00:47:23.931
- And in today's middle east
- 00:47:24.031 --> 00:47:25.766
- Though, joel, expect the unexpected.
- 00:47:25.766 --> 00:47:27.634
- That's the one constant in the middle east.
- 00:47:27.634 --> 00:47:29.303
- I guess.
- 00:47:29.303 --> 00:47:29.903
- But there is
- 00:47:29.903 --> 00:47:31.305
- Unexpected and then there's wow,
- 00:47:31.305 --> 00:47:33.273
- This is totally unexpected.
- 00:47:33.273 --> 00:47:34.942
- I've read those verses.
- 00:47:34.942 --> 00:47:36.276
- I never thought, i never imagined an american president
- 00:47:36.276 --> 00:47:40.280
- Would say, we're going move two million people out of gaza
- 00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:43.784
- And they can't come back.
- 00:47:43.784 --> 00:47:45.452
- Now i will say, i believe that
- 00:47:45.552 --> 00:47:47.054
- The people of gaza are under judgment.
- 00:47:47.054 --> 00:47:49.456
- Why? i say that with sadness, but they're under judgment
- 00:47:49.556 --> 00:47:53.427
- Because for eight decades they have cursed israel and the
- 00:47:53.427 --> 00:47:56.663
- Jewish people.
- 00:47:56.663 --> 00:47:57.898
- And genesis chapter twelve verse three says, i mean, is
- 00:47:57.898 --> 00:48:01.535
- Part of the abrahamic covenant.
- 00:48:01.535 --> 00:48:02.903
- God said, regarding israel and the jewish people, i will bless
- 00:48:02.903 --> 00:48:06.707
- Those who bless you, but those who curse you, i will curse.
- 00:48:06.707 --> 00:48:10.544
- If you curse israel for eight decades and you are given back
- 00:48:10.644 --> 00:48:16.683
- All your land. in 2005, israel withdraws and
- 00:48:16.683 --> 00:48:20.320
- Ariel sharon, the prime minister at the time says,
- 00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:22.656
- Go build a palestinian paradise.
- 00:48:22.656 --> 00:48:24.291
- You have beachfront property.
- 00:48:24.291 --> 00:48:25.425
- You have natural gas right off your shores.
- 00:48:25.425 --> 00:48:27.694
- You've got smart, industrious people.
- 00:48:27.694 --> 00:48:29.696
- Build a palestinian paradise.
- 00:48:29.696 --> 00:48:31.164
- But instead, your first election, you don't choose the
- 00:48:31.164 --> 00:48:35.068
- Moderate though corrupt palestinian authority.
- 00:48:35.068 --> 00:48:37.537
- You choose a genocidal terror group called hamas, who takes
- 00:48:37.537 --> 00:48:41.041
- All the money and all the
- 00:48:41.041 --> 00:48:42.409
- Weapons and builds a genocidal machine.
- 00:48:42.409 --> 00:48:45.312
- Yeah.
- 00:48:45.312 --> 00:48:46.046
- There are consequences.
- 00:48:46.146 --> 00:48:47.547
- And i believe that gaza is under judgment.
- 00:48:47.647 --> 00:48:50.650
- That's why this is so bad.
- 00:48:50.650 --> 00:48:53.520
- Now the question is, does that judgment include?
- 00:48:53.520 --> 00:48:57.057
- Are we now at zephaniah two or approaching it quickly where
- 00:48:57.057 --> 00:49:00.260
- God's gonna say, yeah, part of your judgment is you don't
- 00:49:00.260 --> 00:49:02.696
- Get to live there anymore.
- 00:49:02.696 --> 00:49:03.930
- You were given eight decades of peace treaty scenarios.
- 00:49:03.930 --> 00:49:08.769
- And in fact, you were actually given the land back,
- 00:49:08.769 --> 00:49:12.272
- Not the west bank.
- 00:49:12.272 --> 00:49:13.373
- Gaza was given to all thousands, not a single
- 00:49:13.373 --> 00:49:16.510
- Israeli soldier, not a single israeli civilian.
- 00:49:16.510 --> 00:49:19.212
- And that's been that way for 18 years or so. let's see,
- 00:49:19.312 --> 00:49:23.517
- Twenty, no, twenty years now.
- 00:49:23.517 --> 00:49:25.152
- Twenty years ago, gaza was given to the people of gaza,
- 00:49:25.152 --> 00:49:29.890
- Go build your paradise.
- 00:49:29.890 --> 00:49:30.857
- And they built a genocidal terror machine.
- 00:49:30.857 --> 00:49:34.061
- So we may be at, or rapidly approaching the moment where
- 00:49:34.161 --> 00:49:37.431
- God's like, not only are you facing the judgment of this
- 00:49:37.431 --> 00:49:41.034
- Horrible war, but you forfeited the right to even live there.
- 00:49:41.034 --> 00:49:45.439
- And god has moved out people in other times, just as the
- 00:49:45.439 --> 00:49:50.143
- Enemies of israel have forced jews out of their way.
- 00:49:50.143 --> 00:49:53.180
- That's possible.
- 00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:54.681
- But it's also possible, let's go back to option one.
- 00:49:54.781 --> 00:49:58.185
- President trump likes to put out scenarios at first that
- 00:49:58.285 --> 00:50:02.823
- Seem extreme to his negotiating partner.
- 00:50:02.823 --> 00:50:06.293
- We're gonna take panama back.
- 00:50:06.393 --> 00:50:08.762
- We're not giving it to the chinese.
- 00:50:08.762 --> 00:50:10.664
- Right? and then secretary of state rubio heads down to
- 00:50:10.664 --> 00:50:13.400
- Panama and the president of
- 00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:14.568
- Panama goes, we surrender, we surrender.
- 00:50:14.568 --> 00:50:16.403
- Alright. we were with the chinese.
- 00:50:16.403 --> 00:50:17.938
- We're abandoning the chinese.
- 00:50:17.938 --> 00:50:19.272
- We're back with america.
- 00:50:19.272 --> 00:50:20.307
- Okay. okay.
- 00:50:20.307 --> 00:50:21.274
- We won't invade maybe.
- 00:50:21.274 --> 00:50:22.576
- So, so the question--
- 00:50:22.576 --> 00:50:24.578
- Leverage works.
- 00:50:24.578 --> 00:50:26.313
- And trump started with his friends.
- 00:50:25.445 --> 00:50:28.915
- He didn't do this with china and russia and iran on day one.
- 00:50:29.015 --> 00:50:32.385
- He did this with mexico, china, greenland, and panama.
- 00:50:32.385 --> 00:50:35.388
- Yeah. why did he do this?
- 00:50:35.388 --> 00:50:37.324
- Because he wanted to show that america's back, and we're
- 00:50:37.324 --> 00:50:40.026
- Not gonna get bullied by our friends.
- 00:50:40.026 --> 00:50:41.261
- We're certainly not gonna get bullied by our enemies.
- 00:50:41.261 --> 00:50:43.196
- Now with the saudis, what does he want?
- 00:50:43.196 --> 00:50:45.198
- He wants a saudi-israeli deal of the millennia.
- 00:50:45.198 --> 00:50:48.335
- So how do you get that?
- 00:50:48.435 --> 00:50:50.036
- Well, one way might be to say all the palestinians have to
- 00:50:50.137 --> 00:50:55.142
- Leave and never get to go back and you're going to pay for it
- 00:50:55.142 --> 00:50:57.911
- And we're going rebuild gaza.
- 00:50:57.911 --> 00:50:59.513
- Now, what if the saudis counter with, well, we'll pay for it
- 00:50:59.513 --> 00:51:03.517
- And we can rebuild it with you, but the palestinians
- 00:51:03.517 --> 00:51:06.820
- Have to go back if they want to.
- 00:51:06.820 --> 00:51:08.622
- Trump might take that deal.
- 00:51:09.289 --> 00:51:11.324
- Yeah. and the people that can't come back might be anybody
- 00:51:11.424 --> 00:51:15.662
- He considers a terrorist.
- 00:51:15.662 --> 00:51:17.297
- And others might truly, genuinely want to live
- 00:51:17.397 --> 00:51:19.766
- Someplace else.
- 00:51:19.766 --> 00:51:20.834
- Not many people would want to live in gaza.
- 00:51:20.834 --> 00:51:22.402
- Yeah. and then those who are
- 00:51:22.402 --> 00:51:25.172
- Peaceful minded, great, go, you know, let's go build it into
- 00:51:25.272 --> 00:51:29.009
- Singapore and dubai.
- 00:51:29.009 --> 00:51:30.677
- So i don't know how this is going to play out, but i'm
- 00:51:30.777 --> 00:51:34.281
- Saying we are at the precipice of, i believe what is a
- 00:51:34.281 --> 00:51:38.318
- Prophetic moment in which every time, almost every, almost
- 00:51:38.318 --> 00:51:41.454
- Every time that gaza mentioned the bible, twenty mentions,
- 00:51:41.454 --> 00:51:44.558
- Almost every time it's related
- 00:51:44.658 --> 00:51:46.660
- To gaza's wickedness and god's judgment.
- 00:51:46.660 --> 00:51:50.330
- So we're definitely in that moment.
- 00:51:50.330 --> 00:51:53.099
- Gaza's being judged.
- 00:51:53.633 --> 00:51:55.435
- Whether they're being judged that they'll literally be moved
- 00:51:55.535 --> 00:51:58.271
- Out in our lifetime as opposed to the millennial kingdom
- 00:51:58.271 --> 00:52:01.908
- Or something, i actually don't know.
- 00:52:01.908 --> 00:52:04.144
- But these are some of the things i'm watching.
- 00:52:04.144 --> 00:52:05.912
- At the same time, we need to be preaching the gospel to the
- 00:52:06.012 --> 00:52:08.782
- People of gaza because, yeah, they're under judgment,
- 00:52:08.782 --> 00:52:12.018
- But so were the people of nineveh.
- 00:52:12.018 --> 00:52:13.687
- God sent jonah to nineveh.
- 00:52:13.787 --> 00:52:15.789
- Jonah didn't want to do it.
- 00:52:16.456 --> 00:52:17.958
- But it's not just about judgment.
- 00:52:18.758 --> 00:52:20.660
- God has, says to jonah, shouldn't i have compassion?
- 00:52:20.660 --> 00:52:24.531
- These people did repent.
- 00:52:24.531 --> 00:52:26.099
- Shouldn't i relent?
- 00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:27.701
- So these are some tough things
- 00:52:28.435 --> 00:52:30.070
- For us to process as christians.
- 00:52:30.070 --> 00:52:31.538
- And no one to help is better to
- 00:52:31.638 --> 00:52:33.540
- Process than you, joel rosenberg.
- 00:52:33.540 --> 00:52:35.275
- Joel, this was a great conversation.
- 00:52:35.275 --> 00:52:36.643
- Folks, you may say, wow, the middle east, it's all crazy.
- 00:52:36.643 --> 00:52:39.312
- It doesn't make well, now it does.
- 00:52:39.312 --> 00:52:41.681
- After those great insights from our good friend, joel
- 00:52:41.781 --> 00:52:43.516
- Rosenberg, you can hear more of this every week,
- 00:52:43.516 --> 00:52:45.685
- Thursday night, saturday night, right
- 00:52:45.685 --> 00:52:46.653
- Here on tbn on the rosenberg report.
- 00:52:46.653 --> 00:52:49.389
- Joel, just incredible,
- 00:52:49.389 --> 00:52:50.657
- Incredible break breakdown and encouraging.
- 00:52:50.657 --> 00:52:53.260
- God's moving among jews, among muslims.
- 00:52:53.260 --> 00:52:55.662
- It's amazing.
- 00:52:55.662 --> 00:52:56.730
- We live in exciting times, prophetic times.
- 00:52:56.730 --> 00:52:58.565
- Can you take us out in prayer before we go?
- 00:52:58.565 --> 00:53:00.767
- Absolutely. happy to do it.
- 00:53:00.767 --> 00:53:03.436
- Father in heaven, thank you that you love us, and thank you
- 00:53:03.536 --> 00:53:07.407
- That you love israel and the jewish people.
- 00:53:07.407 --> 00:53:09.142
- You're so clear about that in the scriptures.
- 00:53:09.142 --> 00:53:11.444
- Thank you that current israel is part of the biblical
- 00:53:11.444 --> 00:53:14.681
- Prophecies laid out in isaiah, jeremiah, ezekiel, and other
- 00:53:14.681 --> 00:53:20.287
- Old testament prophecies.
- 00:53:20.387 --> 00:53:21.655
- Thank you, father.
- 00:53:21.655 --> 00:53:23.023
- Thank you that the apostle paul reaffirmed that these promises
- 00:53:23.023 --> 00:53:26.393
- You made to israel and the jewish people, they're
- 00:53:26.393 --> 00:53:28.328
- Irrevocable, they cannot be revoked.
- 00:53:28.328 --> 00:53:30.563
- You made promises, and you're a
- 00:53:30.664 --> 00:53:33.166
- God of your word, and we're so grateful.
- 00:53:33.166 --> 00:53:35.769
- You're showing compassion on israel, and you're showing
- 00:53:35.769 --> 00:53:39.306
- Compassion, not just geopolitically and helping us
- 00:53:39.306 --> 00:53:41.574
- To win this war,
- 00:53:41.574 --> 00:53:43.410
- But you're drawing more and more of us into your kingdom,
- 00:53:43.510 --> 00:53:46.179
- And we're so grateful.
- 00:53:46.179 --> 00:53:47.514
- Lord, you also teach us to be loving to our neighbors
- 00:53:47.514 --> 00:53:51.651
- And even to our enemies.
- 00:53:51.651 --> 00:53:52.786
- Lord, you love the palestinian people.
- 00:53:52.786 --> 00:53:54.688
- You love the people of gaza.
- 00:53:54.688 --> 00:53:56.523
- You love the people of lebanon and syria and jordan
- 00:53:56.523 --> 00:54:00.760
- And iraq and egypt and iran.
- 00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:02.395
- More muslims are coming to faith in jesus christ in iran,
- 00:54:02.395 --> 00:54:05.899
- Father, than we've ever imagined was possible.
- 00:54:05.899 --> 00:54:09.102
- And you love all the people of that region.
- 00:54:09.202 --> 00:54:11.037
- And so show us how we can be faithful to you.
- 00:54:11.037 --> 00:54:16.309
- Show us how to pray for israel and her neighbors.
- 00:54:16.309 --> 00:54:19.946
- Give us a heart of compassion.
- 00:54:19.946 --> 00:54:21.915
- Help us to be involved and strengthen the church in israel
- 00:54:22.015 --> 00:54:25.452
- And in the arab muslim world to be strong, to be a light,
- 00:54:25.452 --> 00:54:29.289

- Lord, we just ask for your wisdom for american leaders,
- 00:54:52.512 --> 00:54:56.449
- Israeli leaders, arab leaders, and we pray for boldness,
- 00:54:56.449 --> 00:55:01.154
