>> marxism in its pure form, built on creating a division.
00:00:05.959 --> 00:00:11.664
If we create a division, they create chaos. and from that
00:00:11.664 --> 00:00:16.703
Chaos will build their communist utopia, that this is
00:00:16.703 --> 00:00:22.342
An artificial division to destroy society. thank god, so
00:00:22.342 --> 00:00:26.780
Many american leaders thinking they did not fall for that.
00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:30.784
Everything that the fruit that we have now, individual liberty,
00:00:30.784 --> 00:00:35.021
Freedom, the value of the human life. all of these things came
00:00:35.021 --> 00:00:39.359
As a result of the protestant reformation. all of that. it's
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.896
Deep rooted in the gospel, in the bible.
00:00:42.896 --> 00:00:53.773

Joy to see you again. yes. i will never forget that. well,
00:02:04.677 --> 00:02:07.914
Initially i have really had no desire to be on television
00:02:07.914 --> 00:02:13.052
Until a man from chattanooga, tennessee, by the name of ben
00:02:13.052 --> 00:02:17.290

You. i said, well, let's get a calendar and talk about it. he
00:02:29.169 --> 00:02:32.238
Said, no, i'm on my way to atlanta from chattanooga
00:02:32.238 --> 00:02:35.408
Because for two and a half years, the lord has been
00:02:35.408 --> 00:02:37.644
Telling me to give you my television ministry.
00:02:37.644 --> 00:02:39.913
>> oh my goodness.
00:02:39.913 --> 00:02:41.214
>> and so that's how i ended up on television. wow. i basically
00:02:41.214 --> 00:02:44.417
Inherited all his air times.
00:02:44.417 --> 00:02:46.152
>> oh my goodness.
00:02:46.152 --> 00:02:47.420
>> one of his air time was on cnbc europe. wow. the financial
00:02:47.420 --> 00:02:53.660
Channel. okay. in the morning. sunday morning. well i'm not
00:02:53.660 --> 00:02:58.431
Going to drag the story. but unbeknownst to me, your dad was
00:02:58.431 --> 00:03:03.403
In cairo, egypt, and he was watching seeing because a lot
00:03:03.403 --> 00:03:08.675
Of the preachers that are on tbn are on cnbc at the time.
00:03:08.675 --> 00:03:13.813
>> on sundays.
00:03:13.813 --> 00:03:15.081
>> on sunday morning. and so he was he watched me and he said
00:03:15.081 --> 00:03:19.185
He watched the entire sermon. he put the remote down and he
00:03:19.185 --> 00:03:24.958
Stopped praying for me. and he said he heard the lord audibly
00:03:24.958 --> 00:03:29.295
Said, do not go to california from here. go to atlanta and
00:03:29.295 --> 00:03:34.334
Invite michael to be on your tbn channel.
00:03:34.334 --> 00:03:37.637
>> oh, wow. my goodness.
00:03:37.637 --> 00:03:39.405
>> and how can i forget that? and it's the most amazing
00:03:39.405 --> 00:03:42.609
Experience. 10:00 saturday night, i get a phone call. joel,
00:03:42.609 --> 00:03:48.081
Your cousin and my colleague paul were talking and they said,
00:03:48.081 --> 00:03:53.119
Well, paul just landed here from egypt saturday evening,
00:03:53.119 --> 00:03:57.757
And he has a word from the lord to the congregation at church
00:03:57.757 --> 00:04:00.994
Of the apostles.
00:04:00.994 --> 00:04:02.061
>> oh my goodness.
00:04:02.061 --> 00:04:03.896
>> and so your dad came at 9:00 and we sat down and.
00:04:03.896 --> 00:04:08.268
>> never met before.
00:04:08.268 --> 00:04:10.336
>> okay.
00:04:09.335 --> 00:04:11.437
>> yeah. and he, i'm sure he would not have known me from
00:04:11.537 --> 00:04:13.806
Adam, but he, he came and he told me the story. he said, i
00:04:13.806 --> 00:04:17.510
Was watching you last sunday. and and, and and they said the
00:04:17.510 --> 00:04:22.982
Rest is history. but what, of course, knitted us together is
00:04:22.982 --> 00:04:28.788
That the first ten years of his life, he was in my hometown.
00:04:28.788 --> 00:04:32.592
>> yeah.
00:04:32.592 --> 00:04:33.793
>> your grandfather was a superintendent of the church in
00:04:33.793 --> 00:04:38.064
A in a suit is my hometown, where the lillian thrashers
00:04:38.064 --> 00:04:43.436
Orphanage, which is recognized by every president, including
00:04:43.436 --> 00:04:47.373
Nassau. wow. as the best orphanage in egypt.
00:04:47.373 --> 00:04:51.444
>> oh my goodness.
00:04:51.444 --> 00:04:52.779
>> and it was i mean, she i've been reading her biography,
00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:56.049
Rereading her biography again. what a woman of faith.
00:04:56.049 --> 00:04:58.885
>> yeah.
00:04:58.885 --> 00:05:00.053
>> those early days in the 1911, she goes to a remote city in
00:05:00.153 --> 00:05:05.024
Egypt. and god lays it on her heart. she breaks her
00:05:05.024 --> 00:05:08.661
Engagement. she comes from south carolina, and she stays
00:05:08.661 --> 00:05:12.231
There and founds this incredible orphanage.
00:05:12.231 --> 00:05:16.235
>> that was 1911, 1911. my goodness. i know. yeah. 115
00:05:16.235 --> 00:05:23.076
Years.
00:05:23.076 --> 00:05:23.443
>> so my.
00:05:23.443 --> 00:05:24.811
>> yeah.
00:05:24.811 --> 00:05:25.778
>> my dad would have loved to talk with you.
00:05:25.778 --> 00:05:28.915
>> we did.
00:05:28.915 --> 00:05:30.049
>> of course, because my dad grew up in assiut, egypt, and
00:05:30.149 --> 00:05:36.689
Only returned back when his father's health. yeah. required
00:05:36.689 --> 00:05:42.462
It. he could. he couldn't sustain and was had kind of
00:05:42.462 --> 00:05:46.833
Heart problems. so that would have been my grandfather. sure.
00:05:46.833 --> 00:05:50.069
And so my dad grew up speaking fluent arabic as a child and
00:05:50.069 --> 00:05:55.842
Grew up in that part of the world. and you'd be surprised
00:05:55.842 --> 00:05:59.779
How many times we hear still today about the lillian trasher
00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:07.653
Orphanage. that would have been partly financed by my great
00:06:07.653 --> 00:06:11.624
Grandmother.
00:06:11.624 --> 00:06:12.291
>> exactly.
00:06:12.291 --> 00:06:13.292
>> and lillian and my uncle. my dad's brother.
00:06:13.292 --> 00:06:17.764
>> yeah. phil.
00:06:17.764 --> 00:06:19.932
>> phil crouch.
00:06:19.932 --> 00:06:21.033
>> yes.
00:06:21.033 --> 00:06:21.868
>> gave 35 years of his life there.
00:06:21.868 --> 00:06:24.303
>> yep. i talked to.
00:06:24.303 --> 00:06:25.371
>> him some years ago.
00:06:25.371 --> 00:06:26.606
>> yeah, he's. he's in heaven with my dad and all that, but.
00:06:26.606 --> 00:06:30.042
But think of it. the legacy there in egypt. and, you know,
00:06:30.042 --> 00:06:33.613
I, i remember one time we were dealing with a business matter
00:06:33.613 --> 00:06:39.652
In regard to tbn and satellite and coverage in egypt and. and
00:06:39.652 --> 00:06:45.491
I heard the lord's voice so clear one time egypt protected
00:06:45.491 --> 00:06:52.698
My son. now, think of it. you know, when they fled, when
00:06:52.698 --> 00:06:56.369
Joseph. fled egypt protected my son. and i want you to protect
00:06:56.369 --> 00:07:02.442
That that place. so. meaning keep the satellite going there,
00:07:02.442 --> 00:07:06.712
Keep programing going there. we have a 24 hour a day egyptian

>> with him with doctor gergis is like walking around with a
00:07:42.515 --> 00:07:45.952
Superstar there. i'm just always so shocked at how many
00:07:45.952 --> 00:07:49.589
People just come up and ask for prayer. yeah. he's constantly
00:07:49.589 --> 00:07:52.492
Just out on the sidewalk while we're waiting in the bus,
00:07:52.492 --> 00:07:55.962
Praying for people or, or just back with people that have just
00:07:55.962 --> 00:07:59.198

>> it is. i mean, it's just, i, last year i was walking in my
00:08:02.468 --> 00:08:06.839
In tahrir square and the man just came out and i had the two
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.343
Security guys with me, but this guy came and just gave me a big
00:08:10.343 --> 00:08:13.679
Hug. and i said, no, no, no. he's a viewer.
00:08:13.679 --> 00:08:17.917
>> you know, egypt is such an amazing country. it really is.
00:08:17.917 --> 00:08:24.023
And it, it has, you know, you, you, you feel like today's
00:08:24.023 --> 00:08:30.229
Headlines are mainly about iran, today's headlines or about the
00:08:30.229 --> 00:08:35.167
Straits of hormuz. you know, the the back and forth with uae
00:08:35.167 --> 00:08:39.539
And saudi arabia and all that. but there is a the cornerstone
00:08:39.539 --> 00:08:44.944
Of the middle east is egypt. yes. and it is so stable.
00:08:44.944 --> 00:08:51.784
Comparatively speaking.
00:08:51.784 --> 00:08:52.818
>> absolutely.
00:08:52.818 --> 00:08:53.986
>> yeah. and and there's, you know, hundreds of millions of
00:08:54.086 --> 00:08:57.156
People stable. amazing thing. and they have such a leadership
00:08:57.156 --> 00:09:01.193
Role in the in the middle east. yes. and some of these things
00:09:01.193 --> 00:09:06.098
That we're going to get into today are really needing to be
00:09:06.098 --> 00:09:12.238
Explained. so we're looking you today not only as the author of
00:09:12.238 --> 00:09:18.010
The book, unholy alliance, that we're going to be breaking down
00:09:18.010 --> 00:09:21.447
The subtitle how progressivism brought about an islamist
00:09:21.447 --> 00:09:28.454
Invasion.
00:09:28.454 --> 00:09:29.255
>> yeah.
00:09:29.255 --> 00:09:30.456
>> that's a very bold statement. we want you to break it down.
00:09:30.556 --> 00:09:34.560
>> absolutely.
00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:35.628
>> and we want you to. but but before we were on camera
00:09:35.728 --> 00:09:39.699
Together, doctor michael, you were explaining to us some some
00:09:39.699 --> 00:09:45.438
Deep nuance between an islamist and a muslim.
00:09:45.438 --> 00:09:51.143
>> yep.
00:09:51.143 --> 00:09:52.345
>> and there are hundreds of millions of muslims around the
00:09:52.345 --> 00:09:56.882
World.
00:09:56.882 --> 00:09:57.249
>> right.
00:09:57.249 --> 00:09:58.384
>> but they are not all islamists. that's exactly. and
00:09:58.384 --> 00:10:02.655
We need to differentiate. yes. that help our audience
00:10:02.655 --> 00:10:07.693
Understand that first and foremost, because we're going
00:10:07.693 --> 00:10:10.930
To be talking about negatively about islamist kind of
00:10:10.930 --> 00:10:16.135
Individuals. and we're not talking about every muslim.
00:10:16.135 --> 00:10:18.137
>> in the world. go ahead.
00:10:18.137 --> 00:10:19.572
>> absolutely. just before we leave the topic of egypt, i had
00:10:19.572 --> 00:10:23.175
The joy and the privilege of meeting twice with president
00:10:23.175 --> 00:10:25.678
Sisi. he's probably, without a doubt one of the wisest leaders,
00:10:25.678 --> 00:10:30.483
In my judgment, in the world. one of the wisest. but he
00:10:30.483 --> 00:10:33.986
Certainly is one of the wisest, is the wisest leader in in the
00:10:33.986 --> 00:10:37.957
Arab world. and i got to see his heart and talk to him and
00:10:37.957 --> 00:10:44.063
On on a personal basis. as a matter of fact, the last time
00:10:44.063 --> 00:10:47.600
We met, i said to him, because i was in new york and and, and
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:52.004
I was invited to come. and i said, when they asked me, i'll
00:10:52.004 --> 00:10:57.910
Be in new york, i said, of course i'm going to be in new
00:10:57.910 --> 00:11:00.980
York. i'm going to be with, meet him and see him again. and
00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:04.817
I said, mr. president, today is my 71st birthday. many years
00:11:04.817 --> 00:11:09.989
Ago, and you are my birthday present. yeah. for the two
00:11:09.989 --> 00:11:14.794
Hours he kept saying, i can't believe you left your family
00:11:14.794 --> 00:11:17.530
And came. i said, well, you're my president. that's how much i
00:11:17.530 --> 00:11:20.466
Value and esteem the man. he's such a great leader and a wise
00:11:20.466 --> 00:11:24.737
Leader and and and if it wasn't for him, and he's a devout
00:11:24.737 --> 00:11:33.112
Muslim. so we we get into that that topic because he's a
00:11:33.112 --> 00:11:36.248
Devout muslim. and yet if it wasn't for him and his
00:11:36.248 --> 00:11:40.986
Leadership, egypt would have been destroyed by. now by the.
00:11:40.986 --> 00:11:44.924
Because the muslim brotherhood.
00:11:44.924 --> 00:11:46.759
>> brotherhood.
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:47.960
>> supported by obama and hillary clinton, came to power.
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:52.098
And within 12 months they brought the country to its
00:11:52.098 --> 00:11:55.367
Knees economically and in every way. and so the people in every
00:11:55.367 --> 00:12:00.439
One of the 23 provinces, millions were taken to the
00:12:00.439 --> 00:12:05.444
Streets. in fact, the bbc, a estimated there were 23 million
00:12:05.444 --> 00:12:10.483
People in the streets at that revolution back in 2013. june
00:12:10.483 --> 00:12:14.820
Of 2000. june 30th, 2013. and so president sisi was the. he
00:12:14.820 --> 00:12:20.626
Was the minister of defense, and he saw his obligation to
00:12:20.626 --> 00:12:25.264
Protect the country and the citizenry. and. and he did he
00:12:25.264 --> 00:12:29.535
He paid, of course, a heavy price because the us
00:12:29.535 --> 00:12:33.506
Administration at the time, obama and clinton were accusing
00:12:33.506 --> 00:12:36.909
Him of conducting a coup when there was no army involved. he
00:12:36.909 --> 00:12:41.147
Just came in and said to the president of the muslim
00:12:41.147 --> 00:12:45.050
Brotherhood, president acquiesced to the request of
00:12:45.050 --> 00:12:48.254
The people, and he said no, because he thought, you know,
00:12:48.254 --> 00:12:52.258
Obama is his buddy and obama's going to protect him. and the
00:12:52.258 --> 00:12:56.562
Ignorance on the part of the administration at that time,
00:12:56.562 --> 00:12:59.799
They didn't understand that the muslim brotherhood is not a
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:05.638
They called it a legitimate power. it's not. we're talking
00:13:05.638 --> 00:13:09.608
About the islamist worldwide. they're less than 20% of all
00:13:09.608 --> 00:13:14.914
Muslims. all the statistics show they. less than 20%. okay.
00:13:14.914 --> 00:13:20.486
And so when people come and they kind of paint all the
00:13:20.486 --> 00:13:23.889
Muslims with the same brush, i said, no, be truthful, because
00:13:23.889 --> 00:13:28.627
We know i know have many, many great muslim friends. i have
00:13:28.627 --> 00:13:34.366
Love for the muslim people. in fact, that's something your dad
00:13:34.366 --> 00:13:37.570
And i talked about in our first meeting and we talked about
00:13:37.570 --> 00:13:41.173
Subsequently in california. we have love for the muslim people,
00:13:41.173 --> 00:13:44.543
And we want to give them the best that we have, which is
00:13:44.543 --> 00:13:47.980
Jesus.
00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:49.114
>> absolutely.
00:13:49.114 --> 00:13:49.915
>> and the redeeming blood of christ.
00:13:50.015 --> 00:13:52.218
>> and jesus is stepping in and doing it on his own, appearing
00:13:52.218 --> 00:13:55.421
To muslim people. and, and, and the people are seeing visions
00:13:55.421 --> 00:13:59.291
And dreams and, and feeling the love of christ.
00:13:59.291 --> 00:14:03.495
>> that started in 1982. i happen to have been in cairo at
00:14:03.495 --> 00:14:07.633
The time where a group of christian leaders started
00:14:07.633 --> 00:14:12.872
Praying and fasting, and they were saying to the lord, by law,
00:14:12.872 --> 00:14:17.910
We cannot preach the gospel outside of the church walls. we
00:14:17.910 --> 00:14:23.682
Need you to intervene and help, because people were coming to
00:14:23.682 --> 00:14:27.219
The church and coming to christ, but secretly and so. so will
00:14:27.219 --> 00:14:31.924
You reveal yourself to them in visions and dreams? and that
00:14:31.924 --> 00:14:35.594
Started in 82, and it took off. and now from indonesia to
00:14:35.594 --> 00:14:40.199
Algiers and morocco, it's the story is repeated tens of
00:14:40.199 --> 00:14:45.204
Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of times, millions of
00:14:45.204 --> 00:14:48.941
Times, whether it be in iran, the middle east, north africa.
00:14:48.941 --> 00:14:52.811
People see a vision of jesus, and then they will watch a
00:14:52.811 --> 00:14:57.182
Television and they said, are they talking about the one that
00:14:57.182 --> 00:14:59.752
I saw in my dream? and consequently, some of our
00:14:59.752 --> 00:15:04.290
Follow up team goes around and basically disciple them and
00:15:04.290 --> 00:15:08.327
Baptize them and minister to them, depending on what country
00:15:08.327 --> 00:15:11.931
And where the freedom is, and no freedom at all. so we're
00:15:11.931 --> 00:15:15.968
Very sensitive about the political situation, but
00:15:15.968 --> 00:15:19.471
Nonetheless, because our love for muslim people, we want them
00:15:19.471 --> 00:15:23.242
To know the joy of salvation. we don't want to keep it a
00:15:23.242 --> 00:15:27.413
Secret. and tbn has been doing this for 50 years.
00:15:27.413 --> 00:15:31.717
>> 54.
00:15:31.717 --> 00:15:32.751
>> 54 already.
00:15:32.751 --> 00:15:34.219
>> okay. the difference between a muslim and an islamist. yeah.
00:15:34.219 --> 00:15:41.760
So help us know the nuance. and it's, it's, it's, it's really
00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:45.531
Not a nuance. it's a, it's a very bright line, actually. it
00:15:45.531 --> 00:15:48.934
Is. tell us about that.
00:15:48.934 --> 00:15:51.136
>> well, in my book, an unholy alliance, an unholy alliance is
00:15:51.136 --> 00:15:55.074
Between the, the, the, the socialist marxist woke and the
00:15:55.074 --> 00:16:02.715
Islamists. and they're kind of using each other. and the only
00:16:02.715 --> 00:16:06.285
Thing they have in common is their hatred for western
00:16:06.285 --> 00:16:09.121
Civilization.
00:16:09.121 --> 00:16:09.555
>> wow.
00:16:09.555 --> 00:16:10.289
>> that is the unholy alliance.
00:16:10.289 --> 00:16:12.091
>> and unholy alliance.
00:16:12.091 --> 00:16:13.225
>> between the progressives. yes, progressives. yeah.
00:16:13.225 --> 00:16:15.995
>> well, one person was standing there and i have the
00:16:15.995 --> 00:16:18.630
Video. queers for for palestine. and some palestinian people
00:16:18.630 --> 00:16:23.669
Came out and beat him up and said, we don't want your kind
00:16:23.669 --> 00:16:26.438
Here. yeah. and so this is, this is it's what's going on as
00:16:26.438 --> 00:16:30.776
In england, australia. it's in europe. and it's now coming
00:16:30.776 --> 00:16:35.014
Here to your doorstep in texas.
00:16:35.014 --> 00:16:38.684
>> yeah.
00:16:38.684 --> 00:16:39.852
>> and so i remember one time, a very prominent muslim leader
00:16:39.952 --> 00:16:47.259
Asking me the question. he leaned over and he said quietly,
00:16:47.259 --> 00:16:51.630
Doctor yusuf, can you tell me how come the muslim brotherhood,
00:16:51.630 --> 00:16:56.635
The islamists, political islam has all kinds of names that we
00:16:56.635 --> 00:17:01.640
Outlaw them in egypt and in jordan and in the united arab
00:17:01.640 --> 00:17:04.877
Emirates and even saudi arabia. but they go to england and they
00:17:04.877 --> 00:17:10.783
Not only give them a welcome mat, they give them a satellite
00:17:10.783 --> 00:17:13.852
Channels from which they attack us and attack our policies.
00:17:13.852 --> 00:17:17.122
>> wow.
00:17:17.122 --> 00:17:18.323
>> which is for the good of the people. these leaders, whether
00:17:18.424 --> 00:17:21.894
It be the king of jordan or president sisi, they're really
00:17:21.894 --> 00:17:25.397
Doing you know, they're trying to lift up their people from
00:17:25.397 --> 00:17:28.333
Poverty into, in a in a really modern societies. but the
00:17:28.333 --> 00:17:36.375
Islamists want to take them back to the seventh century.
00:17:36.375 --> 00:17:38.844
Yeah. and so in the book, i have a chapter called the mecca
00:17:38.844 --> 00:17:41.947
Muslims and the medina muslims. explain that because when
00:17:41.947 --> 00:17:46.718
Muhammad started his work in mecca, he had a lot of
00:17:46.718 --> 00:17:52.791
Opposition. but then the whole population was really a mixture
00:17:52.791 --> 00:17:56.762
Of polytheism, the worship of many gods. some christian cults
00:17:56.762 --> 00:18:01.867
Like the ebionites and the the nestorians. they were had
00:18:01.867 --> 00:18:08.273
Messed up view of jesus. and these were heretics that were
00:18:08.273 --> 00:18:11.844
Pushed out of places like egypt and other countries and ended
00:18:11.844 --> 00:18:15.814
Up in arabia and some some jewish cults as well. so it was
00:18:15.814 --> 00:18:20.452
A really a hodgepodge. and what muhammad was saying, nah,
00:18:20.452 --> 00:18:24.857
There's one true god don't worship these idols. and that's
00:18:24.857 --> 00:18:28.794
How he started. and he says, i am only telling you what moses
00:18:28.794 --> 00:18:33.132
And jesus have taught. and that became, you know, his initial
00:18:33.132 --> 00:18:39.238
Mission. and then because of their persecution of his own
00:18:39.238 --> 00:18:43.976
Tribe of croatia, he immigrated to a town called yathrib, which
00:18:43.976 --> 00:18:49.381
Now called medina, changed the name. he built an army and
00:18:49.381 --> 00:18:53.685
Became a strong in medina. and he came back and attacked them
00:18:53.685 --> 00:18:58.357
And took over the kaaba, which is the the holy site. and so in
00:18:58.357 --> 00:19:05.964
Those early days, he had different views from what came
00:19:05.964 --> 00:19:09.868
Later. you know, all the killing, the jihad and all of
00:19:09.868 --> 00:19:13.105
That stuff came later. but so many muslims and scholars and
00:19:13.105 --> 00:19:18.110
People i know, they say we are believing the original. mission
00:19:18.110 --> 00:19:27.152
Of muhammad and not the later one, that he was influenced by
00:19:27.152 --> 00:19:31.857
Other people. but what you hear in the news, of course, every
00:19:31.857 --> 00:19:36.962
Day, literally from all over the world, the 20%, or they
00:19:36.962 --> 00:19:42.267
Make the noise and they make the news and you see the
00:19:42.267 --> 00:19:48.340
Militants against infidels kill the infidels, do this and do
00:19:48.340 --> 00:19:52.044
That, and they dominate the scene. but the 80% of, you know,
00:19:52.044 --> 00:19:57.015
Just muslims who want to live and let live. they get caught
00:19:57.015 --> 00:20:00.619
And they get tarred with the same brush.
00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:02.788
>> so i've heard it described as kind of the the tyranny of
00:20:02.788 --> 00:20:06.692
The fringe that there are, you know, in the middle of the road,
00:20:06.692 --> 00:20:11.763
There are muslims and on the fringe in the, you know, on the
00:20:11.763 --> 00:20:15.367
Side there the the two extremes are islamists that believe that
00:20:15.367 --> 00:20:24.042
There is a worldview, an eschatology, that they will
00:20:24.042 --> 00:20:29.081
Take over the world. and bad news is good news for them.
00:20:29.081 --> 00:20:34.486
>> exactly.
00:20:34.486 --> 00:20:35.621
>> meaning when things blow up and all of the the the drama
00:20:35.721 --> 00:20:39.891
And governments are unstabilized and populations
00:20:39.891 --> 00:20:44.029
Are unstabilized. that's all good because it's working
00:20:44.029 --> 00:20:48.100
Towards a islamic antichrist type type character that is
00:20:48.100 --> 00:20:54.306
Coming.
00:20:54.306 --> 00:20:54.740
>> caliphate.
00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.941
>> a caliphate is coming. they will one day rule the world. so
00:20:56.041 --> 00:21:01.446
Extremism is in their blood, in their dna. and that is not
00:21:01.446 --> 00:21:07.185
Representative of the 80% right of just regular muslims that
00:21:07.185 --> 00:21:13.058
Are usually peaceful.
00:21:13.058 --> 00:21:14.426
>> how is this getting into our universities and this red green
00:21:14.426 --> 00:21:19.498
Politics alliance, getting into all the universities and the
00:21:19.498 --> 00:21:23.468
Politics? and how's that happening? well.
00:21:23.468 --> 00:21:26.305
>> they've been getting a lot of grants from in fact, i
00:21:26.305 --> 00:21:31.009
Document in the book $6 billion have been spread in
00:21:31.009 --> 00:21:34.980
Universities from qatar in, in, in the us alone, let alone in
00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:39.951
Europe and elsewhere. and basically, when you get that
00:21:39.951 --> 00:21:44.289
Kind of money, you're going to not going to say that you're
00:21:44.289 --> 00:21:47.292
Going to keep your mouth shut. and that's what how they do it.
00:21:47.292 --> 00:21:50.362
But the the difference even with within islam, you got the
00:21:50.362 --> 00:21:54.032
Sunnis and the shiites.
00:21:54.032 --> 00:21:55.067
>> yeah.
00:21:55.067 --> 00:21:56.201
>> who fought a war within 40 years of, of, of muhammad's
00:21:56.301 --> 00:22:01.273
Life as to who the rightful successor of muhammad, the shia,
00:22:01.273 --> 00:22:08.714
The word means party. really? that's what it means. the party
00:22:08.714 --> 00:22:11.616
Of ali, that's his cousin is the. they said he's the
00:22:11.616 --> 00:22:15.987
Rightful successor. the other said no, his friends and his
00:22:15.987 --> 00:22:19.991
Disciples, abu bakr and omar and so on. they're the
00:22:19.991 --> 00:22:23.161
Successors. and they had a war over it. and so they split.
00:22:23.161 --> 00:22:27.666
They moved up north. and that's where the iraq and and iran are
00:22:27.666 --> 00:22:32.137
Shiites. and then they kept the succession going through
00:22:32.137 --> 00:22:38.009
Lineage children. so for the 12th generation from ali
00:22:38.009 --> 00:22:44.082
Hussein and so forth, is that imam with the successor who
00:22:44.082 --> 00:22:49.855
Disappeared in infancy.
00:22:49.855 --> 00:22:51.957
>> okay.
00:22:51.957 --> 00:22:53.125
>> and they said, well, now he is alive. he's just
00:22:53.125 --> 00:22:57.796
Hiding. and 12th imam mahdi or the guided one, their messiah
00:22:57.796 --> 00:23:07.172
That he is waiting until things really so bad, when the chaos
00:23:07.172 --> 00:23:12.911
Is in sue everywhere. and then he's going to show up.
00:23:12.911 --> 00:23:17.582
>> so they're. trying to they're trying to cause the
00:23:17.582 --> 00:23:20.852
Chaos to reveal the 12th imam.
00:23:20.852 --> 00:23:23.688
>> so he can, he can show up.
00:23:23.688 --> 00:23:25.524
>> oh my god.
00:23:25.524 --> 00:23:26.958
>> and, and the amazing part to me anyway, that when you look
00:23:26.958 --> 00:23:32.731
At the description of the antichrist and their
00:23:32.731 --> 00:23:35.634
Description of the mahdi, they really kind of have a
00:23:35.634 --> 00:23:38.904
Similarity.
00:23:38.904 --> 00:23:39.638
>> they kind of mirror each other.
00:23:39.738 --> 00:23:41.006
>> yeah.
00:23:41.006 --> 00:23:42.174
>> and so if the antichrist ever shows up, i wonder whether
00:23:42.274 --> 00:23:47.279
He'll be the same one that they're waiting for to come and
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.148
Give them victory over the infidels and even over their
00:23:50.148 --> 00:23:54.653
Sunni brothers who just with whom they disagree.
00:23:54.653 --> 00:23:58.657
>> wow.
00:23:58.657 --> 00:23:59.758
>> so one of the other kind of not like we need any more
00:23:59.858 --> 00:24:06.164
Complications to the middle east. but but one of the
00:24:06.164 --> 00:24:09.768
Complications is that there's also a struggle over who's
00:24:09.768 --> 00:24:15.240
Really in charge if they pull this off, which of course, we
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:19.244
Know because we know the bible, they're not going to pull it
00:24:19.244 --> 00:24:22.747
Off. but in their mind, they're still fighting over who's going
00:24:22.747 --> 00:24:25.784
To be in control if they did pull it off.
00:24:25.784 --> 00:24:28.887
>> absolutely.
00:24:28.887 --> 00:24:30.055
>> so the sunni and the shias are fighting and will probably
00:24:30.155 --> 00:24:32.123
Continue to fight. yeah. because they're expecting the
00:24:32.123 --> 00:24:36.528
12th imam to show up. and who's going to say quitting time when
00:24:36.528 --> 00:24:39.931
That happens?
00:24:39.931 --> 00:24:41.066
>> and the sunnis want to have their own guy. and for for a
00:24:41.166 --> 00:24:45.070
Little while, the president of turkey kind of was giving him
00:24:45.070 --> 00:24:49.074
Every indication that he's the guy. and then you got, of
00:24:49.074 --> 00:24:52.677
Course, the royal family in saudi arabia who said, we are
00:24:52.677 --> 00:24:55.580
The rightful descendants of muhammad. and why were they
00:24:55.580 --> 00:25:00.585
Looking for a caliphate when we have to have the king? and so
00:25:00.585 --> 00:25:04.890
This is not going to end well in in any account. it's not
00:25:04.890 --> 00:25:09.227
Going to end well.
00:25:09.227 --> 00:25:10.428
>> didn't when we were young. and because we're not young
00:25:10.428 --> 00:25:16.034
Anymore.
00:25:16.034 --> 00:25:16.668
>> by the way, we're not.
00:25:16.668 --> 00:25:17.302
>> just just.
00:25:17.302 --> 00:25:18.236
>> to let you know, very.
00:25:18.236 --> 00:25:20.038
>> act of me.
00:25:20.038 --> 00:25:21.239
>> but when we were it feels like when we were younger and
00:25:21.239 --> 00:25:24.109
My dad understood middle east politics just because he grew
00:25:24.109 --> 00:25:26.511
Up there and i didn't. so i was only overhearing. but wasn't
00:25:26.511 --> 00:25:32.918
Iran and iraq fighting for years?
00:25:32.918 --> 00:25:37.689
>> yes.
00:25:37.689 --> 00:25:38.790
>> okay. i mean, it was just. and millions were killed.
00:25:38.890 --> 00:25:41.560
>> at least 1 million. yeah. okay.
00:25:41.560 --> 00:25:43.328
>> so it feels like that was the latest open warfare, if
00:25:43.328 --> 00:25:48.567
You're not counting today, right, where iran is fighting,
00:25:48.567 --> 00:25:52.737
Firing missiles, you know, at, at uae and, you know, who knows
00:25:52.737 --> 00:25:58.143
Where that's going to end and where the straits of hormuz is
00:25:58.143 --> 00:26:03.915
Going to end. and we will see. we shall see. but i, i, i, i
00:26:03.915 --> 00:26:08.219
Think that our audience is going to be super interested
00:26:08.219 --> 00:26:12.591
For you to take the next little bit and explain this unholy
00:26:12.591 --> 00:26:17.195
Alliance. right? okay. the book is out and available. and you,
00:26:17.195 --> 00:26:24.402
You, you, you gave an example of how progressivism.
00:26:24.402 --> 00:26:30.909
>> yes.
00:26:30.909 --> 00:26:31.977
>> and islamists are finding some common ground.
00:26:31.977 --> 00:26:36.314
>> yes.
00:26:36.314 --> 00:26:37.482
>> but you and i both know if they would sit down and think
00:26:37.582 --> 00:26:40.352
About that for a second, their oil and water.
00:26:40.352 --> 00:26:44.189
>> absolutely.
00:26:44.189 --> 00:26:44.589
>> okay.
00:26:44.589 --> 00:26:45.757
>> the the the homosexual that holds the sign for palestine.
00:26:45.857 --> 00:26:50.996
If he went there, he'd be killed.
00:26:50.996 --> 00:26:53.531
>> killed?
00:26:53.531 --> 00:26:54.633
>> absolutely.
00:26:54.633 --> 00:26:55.533
>> you know, probably openly, openly killed.
00:26:55.634 --> 00:26:59.671
>> hamas, killed one of the leaders just on the suspicion
00:26:59.671 --> 00:27:03.775
That he's a homosexual. okay. and tortured him and killed him.
00:27:03.775 --> 00:27:07.545
But you see, this is a live example from history, okay,
00:27:07.545 --> 00:27:11.282
About this unholy alliance. okay. we're seeing it now here
00:27:11.282 --> 00:27:15.520
In europe and the united states. but in 1978, the leftists in
00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:24.162
Iran and the islamists fomented the revolution against the shah,
00:27:24.162 --> 00:27:31.736
Who were the leaders of the revolution, highly educated
00:27:31.736 --> 00:27:35.006
Leftist people. and they the ones who toppled the shah. and
00:27:35.006 --> 00:27:40.779
They were on television night after night after night. i
00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:43.648
Remember their names. even abolhassan banisadr was the
00:27:43.648 --> 00:27:46.184
Prime minister and all of that. they were on television. they
00:27:46.184 --> 00:27:49.421
Were the leaders of the revolution against the shah.
00:27:49.421 --> 00:27:51.523
Okay? they wanted freedom, they wanted democracy. and they
00:27:51.523 --> 00:27:55.093
Thought if they have an alliance with the islamists and
00:27:55.093 --> 00:27:59.431
Bring khomeini from paris, where he was living in luxury,
00:27:59.431 --> 00:28:04.469
They. as soon as the plane landed from paris, he became
00:28:04.469 --> 00:28:08.907
The leader. and of course, the shiite muslims all came in the
00:28:08.907 --> 00:28:12.043
Streets and hailed him as their messiah. within less than 12
00:28:12.043 --> 00:28:17.949
Months, when khomeini came to power and all the clerics in
00:28:17.949 --> 00:28:21.886
The country completely changed, ruled by the by the clerics, he
00:28:21.886 --> 00:28:27.225
Chopped the heads of every one of those leftists. he killed
00:28:27.225 --> 00:28:30.128
Every one of them, prison them and killed them. and so many
00:28:30.128 --> 00:28:33.098
Escaped. and so that unholy alliance is.
00:28:33.098 --> 00:28:36.634
>> not.
00:28:36.634 --> 00:28:37.235
>> never going to work.
00:28:37.235 --> 00:28:38.570
>> it's not.
00:28:38.570 --> 00:28:38.937
>> going.
00:28:38.937 --> 00:28:39.704
>> to work.
00:28:39.704 --> 00:28:40.905
>> it's going to be a day. i don't want to be around to see
00:28:40.905 --> 00:28:43.808
It, but it's going to be i mean, think about this. when these,
00:28:43.808 --> 00:28:48.146
You know, guys in transgenders are going in and supporting
00:28:48.146 --> 00:28:51.316
Palestine and so forth. you know, you think that the
00:28:51.316 --> 00:28:54.853
Homosexuals in iran are taking to high rise buildings thrown
00:28:54.853 --> 00:28:58.623
Out of that building. that's that's what they do to them.
00:28:58.623 --> 00:29:02.160
They don't. understand that we as christians love everybody.
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.131
We love everyone. and we don't hate. we don't go out killing.
00:29:06.131 --> 00:29:10.802
We. we kill them with our love, literally. and and so when,
00:29:10.802 --> 00:29:16.574
When, when you see this happening, you have to say, how
00:29:16.574 --> 00:29:21.679
Long is this going to last?
00:29:21.679 --> 00:29:24.382
>> it feels like the ones █that are in the news today have
00:29:24.382 --> 00:29:31.322
Never heard what you just said. there's the most important
00:29:31.322 --> 00:29:35.960
Story i've heard. you've just educated me that i wouldn't
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:41.232
Have realized that khomeini came and then just wiped out
00:29:41.232 --> 00:29:43.768
The leftists at large. tweedley got him. yeah. able to get in
00:29:43.768 --> 00:29:49.507
Power?
00:29:49.507 --> 00:29:49.908
>> yeah.
00:29:49.908 --> 00:29:50.742
>> and they didn't see that coming?
00:29:50.742 --> 00:29:52.410
>> no.
00:29:52.410 --> 00:29:53.578
>> so they thought they can really work together to get rid
00:29:53.678 --> 00:29:57.015
Of the shah. and therefore, they will have shared harmony.
00:29:57.015 --> 00:30:00.752
>> they thought they would have harmony.
00:30:00.752 --> 00:30:02.520
>> absolutely. and they will share power.
00:30:02.520 --> 00:30:04.689
>> oh, boy.
00:30:04.689 --> 00:30:05.790
>> but it doesn't work. i can give you another example,
00:30:05.890 --> 00:30:08.026
Please. it works the other way. okay. in 1920, the founder of
00:30:08.026 --> 00:30:12.330
The 22, the founder of the muslim brotherhood in egypt, a
00:30:12.330 --> 00:30:17.302
Man by the name of hassan al-banna. he was a primary
00:30:17.302 --> 00:30:22.106
School teacher. he founded the muslim brotherhood. and in the
00:30:22.106 --> 00:30:26.678
Early days of the revolution of mr. nasser, the military coup
00:30:26.678 --> 00:30:32.483
That was conducted in 1952 against king farouk and against
00:30:32.483 --> 00:30:37.889
The british, who were dominating at the time. they.
00:30:37.889 --> 00:30:43.528
The muslim brotherhood said, let's work with the army. and
00:30:43.528 --> 00:30:47.065
Mostly were secular. you know, some of them were religious,
00:30:47.065 --> 00:30:50.201
But they're mostly secular muslims. and so when the
00:30:50.201 --> 00:30:53.204
Revolution came and they they really became the strong power
00:30:53.204 --> 00:30:58.643
Between the first two years, 52, 53, 54 and then nasser
00:30:58.643 --> 00:31:04.415
Eliminated the muslim brotherhood.
00:31:04.415 --> 00:31:06.951
>> like eliminating being killed or just kicked him.
00:31:06.951 --> 00:31:10.121
>> out prison and killed many of them went to prison for a
00:31:10.121 --> 00:31:14.359
Long time until sadat came. he let them out. they were
00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:17.629
Imprisoned for 15 years because they attempted assassination of
00:31:17.629 --> 00:31:23.134
Him. and they were just those two groups who are now in the
00:31:23.134 --> 00:31:27.739
West, who sort of have this green eye and and monster in
00:31:27.739 --> 00:31:32.810
Thinking that they can get along. and they were really
00:31:32.810 --> 00:31:35.713
Hate western civilization. they hate liberty, and they hate all
00:31:35.713 --> 00:31:39.951
The freedom we have. they hate all these things that are
00:31:39.951 --> 00:31:42.887
Really the fruit, all what we have in western civilization.
00:31:42.887 --> 00:31:46.691
And i have documented it when i was doing my phd at emory, is
00:31:46.691 --> 00:31:51.930
The fruit of the reformation. when europe came out of the
00:31:51.930 --> 00:31:56.901
Dark ages, because of the reformation, everything that.
00:31:56.901 --> 00:32:00.605
The fruit that we have now, individual liberty, freedom,
00:32:00.605 --> 00:32:05.543
The value of the human life. all of these things came as a
00:32:05.543 --> 00:32:09.881
Result of the protestant reformation. got it. and then,
00:32:09.881 --> 00:32:13.418
Of course, there was a counter-reformation in the
00:32:13.418 --> 00:32:15.620
Catholic church afterward. and so all of that is has its deep
00:32:15.620 --> 00:32:21.726
Root in the gospel in, in, in the bible. and that's what they
00:32:21.726 --> 00:32:26.364
Want to eliminate. and they don't understand or choose not
00:32:26.364 --> 00:32:31.803
To understand.
00:32:31.803 --> 00:32:33.571
>> the fringe people of progressives and islamists
00:32:33.571 --> 00:32:39.377
Don't know history.
00:32:39.377 --> 00:32:40.678
>> they don't.
00:32:40.678 --> 00:32:41.946
>> because they think they can temporarily come together, some
00:32:41.946 --> 00:32:46.651
With their combined joint hatred of christianity, freedom,
00:32:46.651 --> 00:32:53.524
Liberty, and in their mind that we are oppressing everybody
00:32:53.524 --> 00:32:58.896
Else outside and they think that they can stay together.
00:32:58.896 --> 00:33:04.235
And you've just cited two examples in history in the 20th
00:33:04.235 --> 00:33:08.539
Century, where it ended bad for.
00:33:08.539 --> 00:33:11.909
>> two different countries.
00:33:11.909 --> 00:33:13.177
>> two different two different sides of that same coin.
00:33:13.177 --> 00:33:15.713
>> okay.
00:33:15.713 --> 00:33:16.481
>> so they're just dreaming.
00:33:16.481 --> 00:33:19.384
>> they are.
00:33:19.384 --> 00:33:20.518
>> and you see the marxism in its pure form, built on
00:33:20.518 --> 00:33:27.625
Creating a division. karl marx and engel, they said, if we
00:33:27.625 --> 00:33:32.630
Create a division between the patriot and the, the ruling
00:33:32.630 --> 00:33:37.869
Class and the working class, we are just an escaping from it.
00:33:37.869 --> 00:33:41.672
And they create that division. they create chaos. and from
00:33:41.672 --> 00:33:46.010
That chaos will build their communist utopia.
00:33:46.010 --> 00:33:52.884
>> got it.
00:33:52.884 --> 00:33:54.152
>> and we know how that ended. but when they came to the west,
00:33:54.152 --> 00:33:58.589
Particularly in the states, well, they knew they can't
00:33:58.589 --> 00:34:01.526
Create a class warfare. so they started a racial warfare and
00:34:01.526 --> 00:34:08.766
They would create division between the races. the whites
00:34:08.766 --> 00:34:12.403
Are the oppressors, the blacks are the oppressed. now, thank
00:34:12.403 --> 00:34:17.008
God, so many of in us black american leaders thinking they
00:34:17.008 --> 00:34:23.448
Did not fall for that. they realized right away that this
00:34:23.448 --> 00:34:27.018
Is an artificial division to destroy society so they can
00:34:27.018 --> 00:34:32.090
Supposedly build the marxist.
00:34:32.090 --> 00:34:34.225
>> because the end game in regard to islamists is a
00:34:34.225 --> 00:34:40.364
Destroyed world that they would ultimately be ruling. yep. okay.
00:34:40.364 --> 00:34:45.002
So any time they can create division, they couldn't create
00:34:45.002 --> 00:34:50.541
Class warfare in the united states. so they had to do
00:34:50.541 --> 00:34:52.710
Racial warfare, but they did class warfare in europe and
00:34:52.710 --> 00:34:58.449
Russia.
00:34:58.449 --> 00:34:58.950
>> and of course.
00:34:58.950 --> 00:35:00.084
>> you know, different places like that. and they work
00:35:00.084 --> 00:35:04.088
Together with this combined joint hatred for everything
00:35:04.088 --> 00:35:09.727
That the bible holds dear.
00:35:09.727 --> 00:35:12.029
>> yeah.
00:35:12.029 --> 00:35:13.197
>> and then when they largely get power, then they want one
00:35:13.297 --> 00:35:18.569
Of those sides kill each other.
00:35:18.569 --> 00:35:20.338
>> exactly.
00:35:20.338 --> 00:35:21.205
>> it's just talk about chaos. talk about.
00:35:21.305 --> 00:35:23.241
>> yeah.
00:35:23.241 --> 00:35:24.375
>> both want to create chaos, thinking that they'll build
00:35:24.475 --> 00:35:26.410
Their form of utopia. yeah, but there are two different
00:35:26.410 --> 00:35:30.047
Opposite forms of utopia that they envision. but they said,
00:35:30.047 --> 00:35:34.418
For now, let's just close our eyes and our differences until
00:35:34.418 --> 00:35:38.256
We create that chaos. but unfortunately, you know, so
00:35:38.256 --> 00:35:42.627
Many good people get caught in, in that horrible. right?
00:35:42.627 --> 00:35:48.366
>> yeah, yeah. so, so basically your book is giving clarity,
00:35:48.366 --> 00:35:53.871
Like you guys were saying, the homosexuals with the signs and
00:35:53.871 --> 00:35:57.008
Stuff. and i think, oh, you've never been to that country
00:35:57.008 --> 00:35:59.944
Before.
00:35:59.944 --> 00:36:00.578
>> or you don't know what.
00:36:00.578 --> 00:36:01.812
>> you're talking about, you don't have any idea what you're
00:36:01.812 --> 00:36:04.115
Talking about.
00:36:04.115 --> 00:36:05.149
>> or you don't have any idea what you're doing.
00:36:05.149 --> 00:36:07.151
>> because we've been to them, you know, and yeah, you toe the
00:36:07.151 --> 00:36:10.121
Line there, you know, and, and so all this misinformation and
00:36:10.121 --> 00:36:15.393
The just the deception that the enemy has tried to put on these
00:36:15.393 --> 00:36:20.831
People is just crazy.
00:36:20.831 --> 00:36:22.600
>> in islam. there is particularly in the the strict
00:36:22.600 --> 00:36:27.271
It started as a shiite thing, but now it's sort of it's
00:36:27.271 --> 00:36:30.875
Called taqiyya. and it's a frame of thought that says that
00:36:30.875 --> 00:36:37.081
It is not only good, it is virtuous to lie to the infidels,
00:36:37.081 --> 00:36:41.352
Right? especially when you don't have the upper hand. when
00:36:41.352 --> 00:36:45.389
You have the upper hand, then you can forget whatever.
00:36:45.389 --> 00:36:48.859
>> speak plainly.
00:36:48.859 --> 00:36:50.361
>> and so you know, therefore, when you think it's a virtue to
00:36:50.361 --> 00:36:55.766
Deceive you. yeah. where would you go from that? when the
00:36:55.766 --> 00:36:59.237
Truth is, is muddled, muddied? you know what else left? and so
00:36:59.237 --> 00:37:05.443
That is what you see. and i just see, for example, the
00:37:05.443 --> 00:37:09.880
Prime minister of of britain saying, you know, the muslims
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.752
Are persecuted, muslims are not persecuted in england. they
00:37:14.752 --> 00:37:18.623
Have all the freedom in the world. and if they get some of
00:37:18.623 --> 00:37:22.159
The patriots demonstrate in the streets, they say, oh, these
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.496
Far right wing people, they just want to they're
00:37:25.496 --> 00:37:28.499
Islamophobes. and of course, they saw the term worked for
00:37:28.499 --> 00:37:31.836
The homosexual community, you know, homophobe. so he said,
00:37:31.836 --> 00:37:36.040
We'll take that and use it.
00:37:36.040 --> 00:37:37.808
>> wow.
00:37:37.808 --> 00:37:39.043
>> that's where you're showing this unholy alliance that they
00:37:39.043 --> 00:37:43.214
Are just backing certain progressive things, using it
00:37:43.214 --> 00:37:49.053
For their benefit. and if they ever get in power by, by
00:37:49.053 --> 00:37:53.357
Progressives. that's right. you know, fool me once, shame on
00:37:53.357 --> 00:37:56.594
You, fool me twice, shame on me. fool me four times. yeah. you
00:37:56.594 --> 00:38:00.531
Know, i mean, come on.
00:38:00.531 --> 00:38:01.966
>> and i often say, when it comes to the strict islamists,
00:38:01.966 --> 00:38:07.071
These progressives will be the first ones to go. because even
00:38:07.071 --> 00:38:11.409
In the strictest sharia, which people say sharia law, but
00:38:11.409 --> 00:38:15.246
Sharia means law in the in the strictest of sharia, you have
00:38:15.246 --> 00:38:22.186
To kill the nonbelievers first. because whom they call the
00:38:22.186 --> 00:38:27.391
People of the book, the christians and the jews. if the
00:38:27.391 --> 00:38:31.462
People of the book would pay the jizya, which is a form of
00:38:31.462 --> 00:38:35.499
Taxation or penalty, just for being allowed to live as a
00:38:35.499 --> 00:38:39.870
Christian or a jew in. and we're called islam, islamic
00:38:39.870 --> 00:38:42.640
Dominant society. so my ancestors.
00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:46.610
>> the coptic christians.
00:38:46.610 --> 00:38:48.412
>> christians, they. the only reason my ancestors survived
00:38:48.412 --> 00:38:53.184
This, you know, last 1400 years is because they were able to
00:38:53.184 --> 00:38:57.421
Pay the tribute.
00:38:57.421 --> 00:38:58.522
>> they were paying tribute, tribute to the muslims.
00:38:58.522 --> 00:39:01.625
>> the muslim leaders, and they survived all these years
00:39:01.625 --> 00:39:06.797
Because they they they were, you know, basically able to pay.
00:39:06.797 --> 00:39:11.068
And and that's what they impose on, on christians and jews.
00:39:11.068 --> 00:39:15.039
>> why haven't the progressives picked up that cause that there
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:18.609
Was, you know, for centuries, people having to pay tribute to
00:39:18.609 --> 00:39:23.647
Another people group just so they wouldn't kill them.
00:39:23.647 --> 00:39:26.550
>> that's right.
00:39:26.550 --> 00:39:27.785
>> and those were the coptic christians. there's millions of.
00:39:27.785 --> 00:39:30.921
>> covid-19 million right now. in egypt survived all these
00:39:30.921 --> 00:39:33.891
Years.
00:39:33.891 --> 00:39:34.992
>> and what about the the entire world? how many coptic
00:39:35.092 --> 00:39:38.095
Christians?
00:39:38.095 --> 00:39:39.163
>> i think there are about 3 million in the scattered.
00:39:39.263 --> 00:39:41.098
>> you know, there's a coptic church here in colleyville,
00:39:41.098 --> 00:39:45.336
Texas, right? it's just right down the.
00:39:45.336 --> 00:39:47.438
>> road everywhere. and in georgia. yeah. in canada, of
00:39:47.438 --> 00:39:52.143
Course, there's so many coptic churches. and throughout the
00:39:52.143 --> 00:39:55.379
United states they have a million copts in america.
00:39:55.379 --> 00:39:58.682
>> if if we went to a service, would it feel like kind of a
00:39:58.682 --> 00:40:05.823
Catholic service? yeah.
00:40:05.823 --> 00:40:07.024
>> very much similar to to catholic doctrine with few, you
00:40:07.024 --> 00:40:10.561
Know, differences that nuances. but i was at a wedding in
00:40:10.561 --> 00:40:16.200
Montreal not two years ago. and the, the mass or the wedding
00:40:16.200 --> 00:40:22.773
Actually was in three languages because the coptic church is
00:40:22.773 --> 00:40:26.710
Afraid losing the younger generations.
00:40:26.710 --> 00:40:29.180
>> oh.
00:40:29.180 --> 00:40:30.414
>> so they will have the coptic language, which is really greek.
00:40:30.514 --> 00:40:33.551
It's a greek language, which was the greek church. and the
00:40:33.551 --> 00:40:37.488
Egyptian church were one church for the first 500 years.
00:40:37.488 --> 00:40:40.357
>> okay.
00:40:40.357 --> 00:40:41.492
>> and so the coptic mass, if you once i learned greek in
00:40:41.592 --> 00:40:44.295
Seminary, i could understand what they're saying. so they
00:40:44.295 --> 00:40:46.997
Have it in the coptic language, then arabic, then english. my
00:40:46.997 --> 00:40:50.835
Goodness, it was the longest wedding i've ever attended. but
00:40:50.835 --> 00:40:54.038
They have to do that in order not to lose the younger
00:40:54.038 --> 00:40:58.442
Generation to other churches or. but this was happening in
00:40:58.442 --> 00:41:03.380
Australia. in england.
00:41:03.380 --> 00:41:04.615
>> coptic christians are the work of the apostle mark, right?
00:41:04.615 --> 00:41:09.153
Yeah.
00:41:09.153 --> 00:41:10.254
>> actually before the mark, mark came and he discovered
00:41:10.354 --> 00:41:13.757
There was a church already. but you know how church started.
00:41:13.757 --> 00:41:16.393
>> in egypt? i don't know.
00:41:16.393 --> 00:41:17.862
>> if you read in the book of acts and i know you know this,
00:41:17.862 --> 00:41:21.765
And it mentioned all the nationalities of the jews who
00:41:21.765 --> 00:41:24.335
Were there on the day of pentecost. okay. and it says
00:41:24.335 --> 00:41:27.571
Jews from alexandria.
00:41:27.571 --> 00:41:29.306
>> okay.
00:41:29.306 --> 00:41:30.508
>> these jewish people on the day of pentecost, when they
00:41:30.508 --> 00:41:33.077
Came to believe in jesus the messiah and lord, they went
00:41:33.077 --> 00:41:36.881
Straight to alexandria and began to preach the gospel.
00:41:36.881 --> 00:41:39.416
>> wow.
00:41:39.416 --> 00:41:40.518
>> and the church began to flourish small. but then when
00:41:40.618 --> 00:41:44.822
Paul and barnabas had this disagreement over john mark,
00:41:44.822 --> 00:41:49.159
Because paul said, no, no, no, he chickened out. i'm not
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:51.629
Taking him the next mission journey. barnabas. he said, you
00:41:51.629 --> 00:41:54.665
Know, give him another chance. and anyway, they ended up
00:41:54.665 --> 00:41:57.368
Splitting. and john mark wanted to prove to paul that that he's
00:41:57.368 --> 00:42:02.172
Not afraid and that he. so he went to what's considered to be
00:42:02.172 --> 00:42:05.976
A very hostile environment, because there were sun
00:42:05.976 --> 00:42:09.280
Worshipers, ra god and, you know, basically pagans. and so
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:15.386
He went there and with to strengthen the church and
00:42:15.386 --> 00:42:18.689
Really began to take the gospel to the rest of egypt. and he
00:42:18.689 --> 00:42:22.326
Was martyred in egypt. he. and that's why the cathedral in
00:42:22.326 --> 00:42:26.864
Cairo is called saint mark's.
00:42:26.864 --> 00:42:28.432
>> we started this broadcast. and as i as i'm sitting here,
00:42:28.432 --> 00:42:32.770
You know, your hair kind of reminds me of my dad and your
00:42:32.770 --> 00:42:37.074
Mustache kind of reminds me of my dad. and, you know, so i'm
00:42:37.074 --> 00:42:39.643
Sitting here kind of, you know, you're kind of reminding me of
00:42:39.643 --> 00:42:42.680
My dad. and we started the whole broadcast today talking
00:42:42.680 --> 00:42:48.919
About, you know, how you came to be on tbn for the last 25
00:42:48.919 --> 00:42:52.856
Years. and my dad invited you personally and invited himself
00:42:52.856 --> 00:42:57.595
To preach at your church one sunday. apparently that was
00:42:57.595 --> 00:43:01.231
That was kind of odd, but what i what i'd love for you to do
00:43:01.231 --> 00:43:07.204
Is we've been talking about some pretty unique things for,
00:43:07.204 --> 00:43:12.676
For praise, right? you know, kind of this how progressivism
00:43:12.676 --> 00:43:17.648
Brought about an islamist invasion. there's an unholy
00:43:17.648 --> 00:43:22.686
Alliance at work modern day, and there could be somebody
00:43:22.686 --> 00:43:28.959
Watching that needs to know the simple gospel.
00:43:28.959 --> 00:43:31.362
>> absolutely.
00:43:31.362 --> 00:43:32.563
>> just just explain the simple gospel briefly and lead people
00:43:32.663 --> 00:43:36.200
To jesus. and i have a final question for you. at the very
00:43:36.200 --> 00:43:39.003
End.
00:43:39.003 --> 00:43:40.137
>> the reason the gospel and only the gospel is the way of
00:43:40.237 --> 00:43:44.308
Salvation is because jesus himself was promised by god. in
00:43:44.308 --> 00:43:51.181
Genesis 314. jesus did not just come out in a vacuum and says,
00:43:51.181 --> 00:43:57.421
Hey, i'm, you know, i sent to give you a no no. every book of
00:43:57.421 --> 00:44:02.359
The old testament predicted announced that jesus is coming.
00:44:02.359 --> 00:44:06.630
Jesus is coming, jesus is coming. he said, i am the way,
00:44:06.630 --> 00:44:09.933
The truth, and the life. and one of the biggest lie that is
00:44:09.933 --> 00:44:13.871
Invading so many churches in america today, i'm told, is
00:44:13.871 --> 00:44:17.107
About 40% of christians believe that there are other ways to
00:44:17.107 --> 00:44:22.146
God, and they're equal to that of jesus. that makes a mockery
00:44:22.146 --> 00:44:26.784
Of the son of god, leaving the glories of heaven, the splendor
00:44:26.784 --> 00:44:30.454
Of heaven coming to our earth, living this crushing life, and
00:44:30.454 --> 00:44:36.860
Yet showing us what the father is like. he's the only one who
00:44:36.860 --> 00:44:41.699
Can reveal to us the heart of the father. and he said, that's
00:44:41.699 --> 00:44:45.502
Why he said, you must be born again. it is not what you do,
00:44:45.502 --> 00:44:48.639
It's going to get you to heaven, but what god does in you that
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:52.509
Is going to get you to heaven. and so being born again, that
00:44:52.509 --> 00:44:55.979
Is surrendering your life to christ, allow the holy spirit
00:44:55.979 --> 00:44:59.583
To regenerate you from the inside, and then assure your
00:44:59.583 --> 00:45:04.588
Forgiveness of your sins and eternity with jesus in heaven.
00:45:04.588 --> 00:45:08.225
Make no mistake about it, heaven is all about jesus. and
00:45:08.225 --> 00:45:12.062
If you don't love jesus here on earth, how in the world are you
00:45:12.062 --> 00:45:15.265
Going to be with him in heaven? so this universalism that says
00:45:15.265 --> 00:45:18.302
Everybody's going to make it. no, no, no, it's not true.
00:45:18.302 --> 00:45:20.571
That's a lie. only those who place their whole trust in
00:45:20.571 --> 00:45:24.742
Jesus christ will make it to heaven. that's why i plead with
00:45:24.742 --> 00:45:27.978
Everyone who's watching right now who have never surrendered
00:45:27.978 --> 00:45:31.415
Their life to jesus, never said, lord jesus, come into my life.
00:45:31.415 --> 00:45:34.852
I'm a sinner. forgive my sins, will be able to make it to
00:45:34.852 --> 00:45:39.590
Heaven. not only that, but to live in peace and joy
00:45:39.590 --> 00:45:43.794
Regardless of the circumstances in this life. and so it is a
00:45:43.794 --> 00:45:48.465
Privilege of my life to have led tens of thousands of people
00:45:48.465 --> 00:45:52.503
Around the world. and i pray that there might be somebody
00:45:52.503 --> 00:45:55.305
Watching right now. i don't know where you'll be watching,
00:45:55.305 --> 00:45:58.142
But this is an opportunity for you right at this moment in
00:45:58.142 --> 00:46:01.812
Front of your television to say, lord jesus christ, come into my
00:46:01.812 --> 00:46:05.415
Life, i need you. i desperately need you. forgive my sins, and
00:46:05.415 --> 00:46:10.454
You will be given peace that you have never understood,
00:46:10.454 --> 00:46:14.324
Never experienced before. peace that passes understanding. i
00:46:14.324 --> 00:46:18.729
Pray that you would do that today.
00:46:18.729 --> 00:46:20.831
>> i love that i, i love the thought that you would have
00:46:20.831 --> 00:46:26.303
Made your first appearance on tbn some 25 years ago, and
00:46:26.303 --> 00:46:32.042
Undoubtedly my dad would have asked you, please, doctor
00:46:32.042 --> 00:46:36.280
Michael, would you look into the camera and lead people to
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:39.016
Jesus? and 54 years later, here we are, you know, on tbn doing
00:46:39.016 --> 00:46:42.986
The same thing you've been you've been a part of the tbn
00:46:42.986 --> 00:46:47.090
World. amen. for 25 years and counting. thank you for what
00:46:47.090 --> 00:46:51.061
You do. if somebody just tuned in, caught part of our
00:46:51.061 --> 00:46:56.834
Discussion. give like you're on, you know, a news channel being
00:46:56.834 --> 00:47:04.441
Asked with a very short little kind of window of time. the
00:47:04.441 --> 00:47:11.982
Understanding of what you're calling the unholy alliance.
00:47:11.982 --> 00:47:16.320
I'll read the subtitle, but i want you to just explain it as
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:19.489
We're kind of going off. how progressivism.
00:47:19.489 --> 00:47:23.126
>> yes.
00:47:23.126 --> 00:47:24.294
>> brought about an islamic invasion under the title an
00:47:24.294 --> 00:47:28.932
Unholy alliance, because they're united in a lot of ways
00:47:28.932 --> 00:47:34.738
In modern times right now. but it won't last. undoubtedly.
00:47:34.738 --> 00:47:40.410
Explain that. just absolutely. kind of. in closing.
00:47:40.410 --> 00:47:42.779
>> in the bigger picture, the apostle paul said, the god of
00:47:42.779 --> 00:47:45.849
This world has blinded the eyes of the nonbelievers. and in
00:47:45.849 --> 00:47:49.419
Many ways, the god of this world has blinded the eyes of
00:47:49.419 --> 00:47:52.356
The islamists and the progressives as to see that
00:47:52.356 --> 00:47:56.927
There's hope. the only hope is in jesus. but in the
00:47:56.927 --> 00:48:01.265
Destruction of western civilization, so that they
00:48:01.265 --> 00:48:04.568
Would be a chaos, and then they would build their respective
00:48:04.568 --> 00:48:09.239
Utopia. one was the caliphate, the successor of the prophet,
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:12.843
And the other ones basically have a socialist utopia. in the
00:48:12.843 --> 00:48:20.083
End, as i said, they will clash. there will never be able to
00:48:20.083 --> 00:48:23.754
Make it. and the sooner they wake up to this unholy alliance,
00:48:23.754 --> 00:48:28.692
The better off they are. i'm not talking to individuals. i
00:48:28.692 --> 00:48:32.329
Think the leaders are maybe a lost case, but there's no lost
00:48:32.329 --> 00:48:35.899
Case with god. but the individual who has fallen in
00:48:35.899 --> 00:48:39.536
This trap that i appeal to, to wake up before it's too late,
00:48:39.536 --> 00:48:45.275
Because only jesus can save you from the wrath to come. the
00:48:45.275 --> 00:48:49.246
Holy, unholy alliance is not going to bless you. it's going
00:48:49.246 --> 00:48:52.049
To not going to save you. but jesus will.
00:48:52.049 --> 00:48:57.287
>> wow you.
00:48:57.287 --> 00:48:58.288
>> kind of something we can't ignore anymore.
00:48:58.288 --> 00:48:59.756
>> yeah. no, it's it's you've explained it so much of it that
00:48:59.756 --> 00:49:05.062
History has proven out that they they are blinded to work
00:49:05.062 --> 00:49:14.037
Together. yeah. and you use the example of a homosexual
00:49:14.037 --> 00:49:19.042
Standing there with, you know, homosexuals for palestine.
00:49:19.042 --> 00:49:23.780
>> right.
00:49:23.780 --> 00:49:24.982
>> and they're blinded. yeah. they have no idea that they are
00:49:25.082 --> 00:49:29.586
Simply trying to fight their hatred for god, really, in his
00:49:29.586 --> 00:49:34.591
Principles.
00:49:34.591 --> 00:49:34.958
>> sure.
00:49:34.958 --> 00:49:36.193
>> and they're working together and it's going to go bad for
00:49:36.193 --> 00:49:39.496
Them because it has gone bad for them twice very badly in
00:49:39.496 --> 00:49:43.300
The 20th century. they need to know their history. you've
00:49:43.300 --> 00:49:46.837
Explained it in unholy alliance. your final word, sir.
00:49:46.837 --> 00:49:49.706
>> well.
00:49:49.706 --> 00:49:50.841
>> i pray to god that people get the book and read the book
00:49:50.941 --> 00:49:54.411
And and be open minded about. it because this, you know,
00:49:54.411 --> 00:50:00.217
Omnicore there's a group of people who are really i call
00:50:00.217 --> 00:50:03.420
Omnicore here. we're just going to protest every, every
00:50:03.420 --> 00:50:06.990
Opportunity they get. but in the end, it is not the
00:50:06.990 --> 00:50:10.961
Political system. it's not even western civilization. it is
00:50:10.961 --> 00:50:15.232
Your soul that cost god his one and only son. and so i, i
00:50:15.232 --> 00:50:21.004
Appeal the only way they're going to get over this ideology
00:50:21.004 --> 00:50:25.008
Is when they come to know the truth, as it's only in jesus.
00:50:25.008 --> 00:50:28.578
And when that is transformed, i'm. i'm praying for a third
00:50:28.578 --> 00:50:31.515
Great awakening. have for 30 years. and so this, this is not
00:50:31.515 --> 00:50:36.920
Going to save you. this is going to destroy you. unholy
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:40.891
Alliance between the progressives and leftists,
00:50:40.891 --> 00:50:43.693
Whatever they call themselves. and the islamists who are
00:50:43.693 --> 00:50:47.731
Blinded by thinking that they're really obeying allah,
00:50:47.731 --> 00:50:51.301
That they're really doing him a favor, that they will kill in
00:50:51.301 --> 00:50:54.771
His name so that they can get this, you know, to go to
00:50:54.771 --> 00:50:58.108
Paradise. in reality, that is a lie from the pit of hell. only
00:50:58.108 --> 00:51:03.547
Jesus will save you.
00:51:03.547 --> 00:51:04.948
>> this unholy alliance is causing chaos in modern society.
00:51:04.948 --> 00:51:11.088
Hoping to usher in the 13th imam. yeah, and control the
00:51:11.088 --> 00:51:16.126
World. and they're working with whoever they can work with
00:51:16.126 --> 00:51:20.797
Until the time that they're done with them, and then off
00:51:20.797 --> 00:51:24.167
With their heads.
00:51:24.167 --> 00:51:25.135
>> exactly.
00:51:25.135 --> 00:51:26.369
>> it's it's, it's history and it's repeating itself. repeats
00:51:26.369 --> 00:51:30.540
Itself. there are unholy alliances. and thank god for
00:51:30.540 --> 00:51:33.743
Holy alliances like yours and mine. i love you very much.
00:51:33.743 --> 00:51:38.748
Thank you for explaining all this. thank you. and we'll see
00:51:38.748 --> 00:51:41.284
You next time.
00:51:41.284 --> 00:51:42.285
>> thank you. god bless you, brother.
00:51:42.285 --> 00:51:42.285
