The Rosenberg Report | Joel Rosenberg: Understanding Jeremiah 49 | The Rosenberg Report | February 5, 2026
  • Tonight on the rosenberg report
  • 00:00:01.024 --> 00:00:03.259
  • Is it possible that ancient bible prophecies
  • 00:00:03.259 --> 00:00:06.029
  • About the judgment of iranian leaders
  • 00:00:06.029 --> 00:00:08.131
  • And their military might in the last days of history
  • 00:00:08.131 --> 00:00:11.234
  • Are coming to pass before our very eyes?
  • 00:00:11.234 --> 00:00:14.237
  • Few christians know the prophecies of jeremiah 49,
  • 00:00:14.237 --> 00:00:17.841
  • And few pastors teach them.
  • 00:00:17.841 --> 00:00:19.609
  • But tonight, as the iranian regime murders more than 30,000
  • 00:00:19.609 --> 00:00:23.580
  • People and president trump moves more and more military assets
  • 00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:27.617
  • Into the region and threatens to bring about regime change.
  • 00:00:27.617 --> 00:00:31.421
  • We'll look
  • 00:00:31.421 --> 00:00:32.655
  • At one of the most important prophecies in all of the bible,
  • 00:00:32.655 --> 00:00:35.158
  • And it's all right here, right now on the rosenberg report
  • 00:00:35.158 --> 00:00:48.671
  • Are we watching
  • 00:00:49.038 --> 00:00:50.974
  • The prophecies of jeremiah 49 come to pass?
  • 00:00:50.974 --> 00:00:54.377
  • When we look at what's going on in iran?
  • 00:00:54.377 --> 00:00:57.881
  • Over the last 47 years since the,
  • 00:00:57.881 --> 00:01:01.284
  • Islamic revolution of 1979.
  • 00:01:01.885 --> 00:01:04.487
  • And then over the last year or so, as when israel attacked
  • 00:01:04.487 --> 00:01:09.626
  • The iranian nuclear sites and ballistic missile sites
  • 00:01:09.626 --> 00:01:12.729
  • And destroyed those.
  • 00:01:12.729 --> 00:01:13.830
  • And then president trump dramatically came in
  • 00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:16.933
  • And destroyed the rest of iran's nuclear weapons program.
  • 00:01:16.933 --> 00:01:20.837
  • And we're we look at what's unfolding right
  • 00:01:20.837 --> 00:01:23.106
  • Now, right before it.
  • 00:01:23.106 --> 00:01:24.240
  • Are we actually watching bible prophecy come to pass?
  • 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:27.777
  • Now, this is an interesting question to me, because often
  • 00:01:27.777 --> 00:01:31.781
  • I've looked at jeremiah 49, the prophecies known
  • 00:01:31.781 --> 00:01:35.018
  • As the prophecies of elam. elam.
  • 00:01:35.018 --> 00:01:38.521
  • That's an ancient name for the country we now call
  • 00:01:38.521 --> 00:01:41.324
  • Iran.
  • 00:01:41.324 --> 00:01:42.892
  • I've often looked at these prophecies as connected
  • 00:01:42.892 --> 00:01:45.495
  • To, and possibly the same type,
  • 00:01:45.495 --> 00:01:48.665
  • Dealing with the same set of issues
  • 00:01:48.665 --> 00:01:50.266
  • At the same time of history as ezekiel 38 and 39,
  • 00:01:50.266 --> 00:01:53.670
  • What's known as the war of gog and magog,
  • 00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:55.471
  • Because that deals with a russian alliance
  • 00:01:55.471 --> 00:01:57.774
  • With iran and turkey and other countries
  • 00:01:57.774 --> 00:01:59.876
  • To come against israel in the last days of history.
  • 00:01:59.876 --> 00:02:03.546
  • Those two prophecies both say,
  • 00:02:03.546 --> 00:02:06.316
  • Both ezekiel and jeremiah's prophecy
  • 00:02:06.316 --> 00:02:08.184
  • Say they'll happen in the last days
  • 00:02:08.184 --> 00:02:10.019
  • So that there's a possibility that they go together.
  • 00:02:10.019 --> 00:02:12.922
  • But there is a possibility that they don't go together.
  • 00:02:12.922 --> 00:02:16.926
  • That's what we want to talk about
  • 00:02:16.926 --> 00:02:18.161
  • Tonight here on the rosenberg report.
  • 00:02:18.161 --> 00:02:21.130
  • Good evening and
  • 00:02:21.130 --> 00:02:22.131
  • Welcome to the rosenberg report from jerusalem.
  • 00:02:22.131 --> 00:02:24.801
  • As we are watching, just intense,
  • 00:02:24.801 --> 00:02:28.905
  • Tensions, drama
  • 00:02:29.272 --> 00:02:30.974
  • Unfold here in, in the middle east.
  • 00:02:30.974 --> 00:02:34.310
  • I mean, the the world is riveted on what's happening in iran
  • 00:02:34.310 --> 00:02:39.048
  • And in this corridor between tel aviv and tehran,
  • 00:02:39.048 --> 00:02:42.318
  • The most dangerous corridor,
  • 00:02:42.318 --> 00:02:44.587
  • One of the most dangerous corridors on our planet today.
  • 00:02:44.587 --> 00:02:47.590
  • So i want to take a moment and actually put a pause on covering
  • 00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:52.262
  • What's actually happened, what's unfolding in front of us
  • 00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:54.497
  • Right now, as important as it is, in the news, i want to
  • 00:02:54.497 --> 00:02:57.700
  • I want to zoom out for a moment
  • 00:02:57.700 --> 00:02:59.168
  • And look at all that's happening
  • 00:02:59.168 --> 00:03:01.404
  • From the perspective of bible prophecy.
  • 00:03:01.404 --> 00:03:03.706
  • And i want to start by actually walking you through
  • 00:03:03.706 --> 00:03:07.010
  • Verse by verse, phrase by phrase.
  • 00:03:07.010 --> 00:03:09.979
  • This passage in jeremiah 49, i want to look at what it says,
  • 00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:14.951
  • What it means, and then let's look at it in
  • 00:03:14.951 --> 00:03:18.588
  • Light of what's happening right in front of us, okay?
  • 00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:22.725
  • Jeremiah 49, beginning in verse 34,
  • 00:03:22.725 --> 00:03:26.696
  • I'm reading to you from the new american standard bible.
  • 00:03:26.696 --> 00:03:30.533
  • Here we go.
  • 00:03:30.533 --> 00:04:57.086
  • This is an absolutely fascinating
  • 00:04:57.854 --> 00:05:00.923
  • Passage of scripture.
  • 00:05:01.424 --> 00:05:02.592
  • It's not one that's,
  • 00:05:02.592 --> 00:05:04.494
  • Talked about much in the pulpits of christian churches
  • 00:05:04.494 --> 00:05:08.331
  • In the united states or canada
  • 00:05:08.331 --> 00:05:09.966
  • Or around the world, even here in israel.
  • 00:05:09.966 --> 00:05:12.001
  • This is not a passage of prophecy
  • 00:05:12.735 --> 00:05:14.637
  • That gets much attention even from bible scholars,
  • 00:05:14.637 --> 00:05:17.673
  • Even from bible prophecy scholars.
  • 00:05:17.673 --> 00:05:21.144
  • But over the years, over the last 20 to 25 years,
  • 00:05:21.144 --> 00:05:24.080
  • I've spent a lot of time
  • 00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:25.515
  • Studying this passage
  • 00:05:25.515 --> 00:05:26.816
  • And other passages like it, but studying it,
  • 00:05:26.816 --> 00:05:29.051
  • Not just with bible
  • 00:05:29.051 --> 00:05:31.120
  • Scholars that i know, and particularly bible prophecy
  • 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.123
  • Experts that i know and that i trust and i respect,
  • 00:05:34.123 --> 00:05:37.693
  • But also with iranian christian leaders,
  • 00:05:37.693 --> 00:05:40.496
  • Iranian pastors and ministry leaders.
  • 00:05:40.496 --> 00:05:44.734
  • Like my friend doctor hormuz shariat, whom i call the billy
  • 00:05:44.734 --> 00:05:48.805
  • Graham of iran, hormoz is now the leading expert.
  • 00:05:48.805 --> 00:05:52.675
  • As a former shia
  • 00:05:53.075 --> 00:05:54.177
  • Muslim and muslim background believer on the bible
  • 00:05:54.177 --> 00:05:58.014
  • And on the the gospel and christianity from a as a man
  • 00:05:58.014 --> 00:06:01.984
  • Who was an iranian, shia muslim radical and hormones.
  • 00:06:01.984 --> 00:06:06.689
  • And i have spent a lot of time
  • 00:06:06.689 --> 00:06:07.957
  • Studying these this passage and i want to walk you through
  • 00:06:07.957 --> 00:06:11.227
  • And explain how
  • 00:06:11.227 --> 00:06:13.062
  • He and i see this passage, because i think it's
  • 00:06:13.062 --> 00:06:16.065
  • Very relevant to where we are today.
  • 00:06:16.065 --> 00:06:31.013
  • So elam, as i mentioned, means iran.
  • 00:06:31.814 --> 00:06:35.117
  • There was a section in central
  • 00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:37.053
  • Persia which we now call the nation of iran.
  • 00:06:37.053 --> 00:06:40.623
  • And what god is saying is that he's going to break the bow.
  • 00:06:40.623 --> 00:06:44.460
  • What is a bow?
  • 00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:45.561
  • A bow is a is a is a, an offensive weapon, right?
  • 00:06:45.561 --> 00:06:49.632
  • In which you pull it back and you shoot an arrow
  • 00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:52.735
  • And it flies through the air and it lands in or next to
  • 00:06:52.735 --> 00:06:56.305
  • Or around your enemy,
  • 00:06:56.305 --> 00:06:57.673
  • You know, hopefully in your enemy killing them.
  • 00:06:57.673 --> 00:07:01.344
  • Well, that's that's ancient warfare.
  • 00:07:01.344 --> 00:07:04.514
  • What god is saying for sure
  • 00:07:04.514 --> 00:07:06.749
  • Is he's going to destroy the military might,
  • 00:07:06.749 --> 00:07:09.685
  • The offensive military might of the iranians.
  • 00:07:09.685 --> 00:07:13.289
  • Okay. that's interesting.
  • 00:07:13.856 --> 00:07:15.157
  • And we saw at the last verse
  • 00:07:15.157 --> 00:07:16.993
  • That is going to happen in the last days.
  • 00:07:16.993 --> 00:07:19.228
  • Okay.
  • 00:07:19.228 --> 00:07:20.263
  • We're going to get back to that.
  • 00:07:20.263 --> 00:07:21.030
  • But, but,
  • 00:07:21.030 --> 00:07:21.898
  • But god is saying in this prophecy,
  • 00:07:21.898 --> 00:07:23.733
  • This is these are things that you should be watching
  • 00:07:23.733 --> 00:07:25.902
  • For in the last days of history.
  • 00:07:25.902 --> 00:07:27.403
  • Well, i believe we're in the last days of history
  • 00:07:27.403 --> 00:07:29.705
  • Because of matthew 24,
  • 00:07:29.705 --> 00:07:31.073
  • Because of the rebirth of the nation state of israel.
  • 00:07:31.073 --> 00:07:35.144
  • The jews coming back to the land,
  • 00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:36.646
  • Rebuilding the ancient ruins, making the desert bloom,
  • 00:07:36.646 --> 00:07:39.815
  • All these prophecies
  • 00:07:39.815 --> 00:07:41.183
  • And the prophecies that jesus laid out in matthew 24/luke 21.
  • 00:07:41.183 --> 00:07:44.787
  • This tells us we are living in the last days of history,
  • 00:07:44.787 --> 00:07:48.591
  • And so we're watching for what else is going to unfold,
  • 00:07:48.591 --> 00:07:51.594
  • What's important to note is god says he's going to bring
  • 00:07:51.594 --> 00:07:56.165
  • The destruction of the of iran's offensive capabilities.
  • 00:07:56.165 --> 00:08:01.103
  • In the last days of history.
  • 00:08:01.103 --> 00:08:03.706
  • What else does he say is
  • 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.374
  • Going to happen in the next block
  • 00:08:05.374 --> 00:08:07.677
  • When we
  • 00:08:07.677 --> 00:08:08.578
  • When we come back from the break, i'm
  • 00:08:08.578 --> 00:08:09.579
  • Going to walk you through what has happened
  • 00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:11.080
  • In recent years that suggest to me
  • 00:08:11.080 --> 00:08:14.083
  • And to foremost
  • 00:08:14.083 --> 00:08:15.318
  • The billy graham of iran and others,
  • 00:08:15.318 --> 00:08:16.986
  • That that's exactly what's going on.
  • 00:08:16.986 --> 00:08:18.754
  • But let's go through a few more things.
  • 00:08:18.754 --> 00:08:34.704
  • Very interesting.
  • 00:08:35.137 --> 00:08:35.938
  • We're going to talk about how
  • 00:08:35.938 --> 00:08:37.106
  • And when we come back in 1979, what happened?
  • 00:08:37.106 --> 00:08:40.242
  • There was an explosion, a revolution inside iran.
  • 00:08:40.242 --> 00:08:42.912
  • And ever since, iranians have been fleeing from iran
  • 00:08:42.912 --> 00:08:46.315
  • And going to live abroad, where in every nation on the earth.
  • 00:08:46.315 --> 00:08:51.754
  • Let's continue with verse 37.
  • 00:08:51.754 --> 00:09:35.297
  • That's what god says about the future of iran,
  • 00:09:36.265 --> 00:09:40.002
  • That that iran's leaders will have done so much evil
  • 00:09:40.002 --> 00:09:43.539
  • That god will be so angry that he will have fierce anger,
  • 00:09:43.539 --> 00:09:46.842
  • Anger, and he will destroy the military
  • 00:09:46.842 --> 00:09:50.713
  • Might, the military capacity, especially the offensive
  • 00:09:50.713 --> 00:09:54.316
  • Military capacities of the iranian regime, he says.
  • 00:09:54.316 --> 00:10:13.436
  • Meaning the so-called supreme leader khamenei
  • 00:10:14.370 --> 00:10:17.440
  • And his military and political and religious
  • 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.676
  • Entourage, his inner circle.
  • 00:10:20.676 --> 00:10:23.512
  • That is dramatic.
  • 00:10:23.512 --> 00:10:25.047
  • Are we seeing this happen right now?
  • 00:10:25.047 --> 00:10:28.584
  • We'll discuss that when we come back.
  • 00:10:28.584 --> 00:10:31.487
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:10:32.254 --> 00:10:34.690
  • Which sections of the end times prophecies found in jeremiah 49
  • 00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:39.428
  • About the judgment of iran may have already come to pass,
  • 00:10:39.428 --> 00:10:43.466
  • And which sections remain to be fulfilled?
  • 00:10:43.466 --> 00:10:46.001

  • Welcome back to the rosenberg report.
  • 00:10:56.748 --> 00:10:59.317
  • We're here in jerusalem as all kinds of, tension and drama
  • 00:10:59.317 --> 00:11:04.522
  • Are playing out, and violence are playing out in iran.
  • 00:11:04.522 --> 00:11:08.926
  • And we are watching it.
  • 00:11:08.926 --> 00:11:10.628
  • We're covering it closely.
  • 00:11:10.628 --> 00:11:12.363
  • But i want to stay focused tonight.
  • 00:11:12.363 --> 00:11:14.665
  • I want to stay focused on this issue of
  • 00:11:14.665 --> 00:11:18.503
  • Bible prophecy and is what
  • 00:11:19.070 --> 00:11:20.972
  • We're watching, bible prophecy coming to pass.
  • 00:11:20.972 --> 00:11:24.375
  • Now, i want to take you back to verse 35.
  • 00:11:24.375 --> 00:11:27.245
  • We're going to keep
  • 00:11:27.245 --> 00:11:28.246
  • Looking at this passage from multiple angles,
  • 00:11:28.246 --> 00:11:30.181
  • Because what's important is to say,
  • 00:11:30.948 --> 00:11:32.950
  • Has any of this already come to pass?
  • 00:11:32.950 --> 00:11:34.919
  • Now let's start in verse 35 of jeremiah 49.
  • 00:11:34.919 --> 00:12:11.889
  • What he means is i'm going to break
  • 00:12:12.690 --> 00:12:14.192
  • The offensive military capacity.
  • 00:12:14.192 --> 00:12:16.127
  • And i believe that you could make a strong argument.
  • 00:12:16.127 --> 00:12:19.130
  • This is what i believe that in recent
  • 00:12:19.130 --> 00:12:22.433
  • In the last year, we have watched
  • 00:12:22.433 --> 00:12:26.537
  • Israel and the
  • 00:12:26.871 --> 00:12:27.705
  • United states break, destroy
  • 00:12:27.705 --> 00:12:30.908
  • The offensive capability of the iranian regime.
  • 00:12:30.908 --> 00:12:34.712
  • Now, they haven't completely destroyed it right there.
  • 00:12:34.712 --> 00:12:37.915
  • Iran still has some missile capacity left, clearly, but
  • 00:12:37.915 --> 00:12:43.087
  • The united states and israel has destroyed so much of the bow,
  • 00:12:43.087 --> 00:12:48.192
  • The system by which you can launch
  • 00:12:48.192 --> 00:12:51.696
  • An arrow in ancient times, a missile in our times,
  • 00:12:52.697 --> 00:12:57.435
  • I believe god is destroying right now.
  • 00:12:57.435 --> 00:13:01.038
  • And over the past year or so, the offensive
  • 00:13:01.038 --> 00:13:04.542
  • Capability of the iranian regime to attack
  • 00:13:04.542 --> 00:13:08.846
  • The united states, our arab allies, and israel.
  • 00:13:08.846 --> 00:13:12.617
  • Okay, now god says that he will
  • 00:13:12.617 --> 00:13:16.487
  • Sovereignly be in charge of this.
  • 00:13:16.487 --> 00:13:17.955
  • Verse 36 god says,
  • 00:13:17.955 --> 00:13:30.468
  • This is important. why?
  • 00:13:30.968 --> 00:13:32.470
  • Because i believe that started to be, that that part of the
  • 00:13:32.470 --> 00:13:37.074
  • The prophecy started to coming, to pass in 1979
  • 00:13:37.074 --> 00:13:40.978
  • And over these last four, almost five decades.
  • 00:13:40.978 --> 00:13:44.849
  • Meaning what?
  • 00:13:44.849 --> 00:13:45.683
  • Meaning when the iranian revolution
  • 00:13:45.683 --> 00:13:47.585
  • Was set into motion motion back in 1979
  • 00:13:47.585 --> 00:13:50.821
  • And the shah of iran fell and escaped with his family
  • 00:13:50.821 --> 00:13:54.792
  • Out of the country, and the ayatollah ruhollah
  • 00:13:54.792 --> 00:13:57.728
  • Khomeini came into power on february 1st, 1979.
  • 00:13:57.728 --> 00:14:01.933
  • What happened?
  • 00:14:01.933 --> 00:14:03.100
  • Starting from that moment and over the next few years,
  • 00:14:03.100 --> 00:14:06.304
  • And of course, the next few decades,
  • 00:14:06.304 --> 00:14:07.638
  • Iranians got so many iranians, who got so scared
  • 00:14:07.638 --> 00:14:11.909
  • Of how many and this islamic revolution that they fled.
  • 00:14:11.909 --> 00:14:15.212
  • And so what's what's interesting is
  • 00:14:15.947 --> 00:14:18.015
  • We have seen an iranian diaspora.
  • 00:14:18.015 --> 00:14:20.985
  • We have watched iranian citizens
  • 00:14:20.985 --> 00:14:23.821
  • Flee iran and settle
  • 00:14:23.821 --> 00:14:27.959
  • Over the last 4 or 5 decades into every nation in the world.
  • 00:14:27.959 --> 00:14:31.963
  • They certainly settled many of them
  • 00:14:31.963 --> 00:14:34.098
  • Millions in the united states, but also in england, south
  • 00:14:34.098 --> 00:14:37.501
  • America, throughout europe,
  • 00:14:37.501 --> 00:14:39.570
  • Throughout the middle east and asia.
  • 00:14:39.570 --> 00:14:41.472
  • And i think it's fascinating
  • 00:14:41.472 --> 00:14:42.707
  • Because i so i believe that that verse
  • 00:14:42.707 --> 00:14:45.042
  • Has already come to pass. okay.
  • 00:14:45.042 --> 00:14:48.079
  • Verse 37 god continues,
  • 00:14:48.079 --> 00:16:17.835
  • Now this is interesting because when he says,
  • 00:16:18.769 --> 00:16:20.638
  • I will send up the sword,
  • 00:16:20.638 --> 00:16:22.940
  • My interpretation of this is that while god is saying i will
  • 00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:26.911
  • Sovereignly be in charge
  • 00:16:26.911 --> 00:16:28.512
  • Of bringing judgment and destruction
  • 00:16:28.512 --> 00:16:30.614
  • On the iranian regime and its military,
  • 00:16:30.614 --> 00:16:33.117
  • I'm going to use iran's enemies
  • 00:16:33.117 --> 00:16:36.220
  • To to accomplish this.
  • 00:16:36.687 --> 00:16:38.556
  • We don't see evidence in this text, not explicitly,
  • 00:16:38.556 --> 00:16:42.093
  • That god is going to reign fire down from heaven.
  • 00:16:42.093 --> 00:16:44.528
  • Or do earthquakes, or do supernatural,
  • 00:16:44.528 --> 00:16:49.233
  • Acts of judgment
  • 00:16:49.633 --> 00:16:51.135
  • The way he did in the book of exodus,
  • 00:16:51.135 --> 00:16:53.838
  • When he brings, you know, ten plagues upon the government
  • 00:16:53.838 --> 00:16:57.241
  • And leadership and people of of egypt,
  • 00:16:57.241 --> 00:16:59.610
  • We don't see that type of fire from heaven, you know,
  • 00:16:59.610 --> 00:17:03.147
  • And, and earthquakes and so forth,
  • 00:17:03.147 --> 00:17:05.015
  • Plagues and diseases that we see in ezekiel 38/39.
  • 00:17:05.015 --> 00:17:08.552
  • Could that happen also?
  • 00:17:09.053 --> 00:17:12.289
  • It could.
  • 00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:13.824
  • But what i'm saying is
  • 00:17:13.824 --> 00:17:15.025
  • When i read these verses, i'm thinking, well, if god means
  • 00:17:15.025 --> 00:17:18.229
  • Jeremiah 49 is connected to ezekiel 38 and 39, then yes,
  • 00:17:18.229 --> 00:17:22.299
  • A combination of things will be happening.
  • 00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:24.935
  • But if this is a separate prophecy from ezekiel
  • 00:17:24.935 --> 00:17:28.973
  • 38/39, then god is sovereignly bringing the judgment.
  • 00:17:28.973 --> 00:17:32.643
  • But he's using iran's enemies,
  • 00:17:32.643 --> 00:17:35.846
  • Which, if it's in this case,
  • 00:17:35.846 --> 00:17:37.448
  • In this time that we, you and i live in,
  • 00:17:37.448 --> 00:17:39.750
  • This would be
  • 00:17:39.750 --> 00:17:40.951
  • The united states and israel and maybe the arabs as well.
  • 00:17:40.951 --> 00:17:43.787
  • I find that interesting, right?
  • 00:17:43.787 --> 00:17:45.789
  • God is going to do it, but he's going to use,
  • 00:17:45.789 --> 00:17:48.526
  • The sword, meaning?
  • 00:17:48.526 --> 00:17:49.527
  • Meaning the military
  • 00:17:49.527 --> 00:17:50.494
  • Might of iran's enemies to accomplish this.
  • 00:17:50.494 --> 00:17:53.831
  • Okay, now let's look at verse 38 again.
  • 00:17:54.698 --> 00:18:08.646
  • That's regime change, people.
  • 00:18:09.280 --> 00:18:11.482
  • God is saying he will bring regime change
  • 00:18:11.482 --> 00:18:15.085
  • In the last days of history.
  • 00:18:15.686 --> 00:18:17.221
  • Now will he use president trump?
  • 00:18:17.221 --> 00:18:20.057
  • Will he use prime minister netanyahu?
  • 00:18:20.057 --> 00:18:22.126
  • We'll see.
  • 00:18:22.126 --> 00:18:24.195
  • Okay. we'll see.
  • 00:18:24.195 --> 00:18:26.230
  • But god is saying regime change is coming
  • 00:18:26.230 --> 00:18:30.334
  • To the leadership of iran.
  • 00:18:30.901 --> 00:18:32.770
  • Whoever sees himself
  • 00:18:32.770 --> 00:18:34.004
  • As the king, the top, the supreme leader of iran.
  • 00:18:34.004 --> 00:18:38.175
  • When this judgment happens, god will destroy him.
  • 00:18:38.175 --> 00:18:41.278
  • He may use american forces.
  • 00:18:41.879 --> 00:18:43.914
  • He may use israeli forces. he may use others.
  • 00:18:43.914 --> 00:18:46.617
  • He he might
  • 00:18:46.951 --> 00:18:47.985
  • Use an internal revolution.
  • 00:18:47.985 --> 00:18:51.355
  • But make no mistake, god here in
  • 00:18:51.355 --> 00:18:54.558
  • Verse 38 is talking about regime change in iran.
  • 00:18:54.558 --> 00:18:58.395
  • God will supernaturally and sovereignly
  • 00:18:58.395 --> 00:19:01.899
  • Construct the environment in which the king and the
  • 00:19:01.899 --> 00:19:05.069
  • Princes, those political, religious, military leaders
  • 00:19:05.069 --> 00:19:08.572
  • Around the king of iran, are going to be destroyed.
  • 00:19:08.572 --> 00:19:12.443
  • Now, going back for just a second
  • 00:19:13.210 --> 00:19:15.346
  • Into the first part of that verse, god says,
  • 00:19:15.346 --> 00:19:21.218
  • That's fascinating. right?
  • 00:19:21.785 --> 00:19:22.853
  • Because i'm sitting here in jerusalem,
  • 00:19:22.853 --> 00:19:26.023
  • Jerusalem is where god said in the book of jeremiah,
  • 00:19:27.091 --> 00:19:29.960
  • As well as throughout multiple prophecies, in the scriptures,
  • 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.897
  • That when the messiah comes, he's setting up his throne.
  • 00:19:33.897 --> 00:19:36.900
  • Where in israel? where in israel?
  • 00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:40.304
  • In jerusalem? where in jerusalem?
  • 00:19:40.304 --> 00:19:43.040
  • On the temple mount. okay. so
  • 00:19:43.040 --> 00:19:46.410
  • As a follower of jesus, yeshua
  • 00:19:47.011 --> 00:19:49.847
  • As the messiah, i believe he's the messiah
  • 00:19:49.847 --> 00:19:51.915
  • And he's coming back again, not for the first time,
  • 00:19:51.915 --> 00:19:54.051
  • He's coming back again, his second coming.
  • 00:19:54.051 --> 00:19:56.520
  • And he will destroy not just reign and leadership,
  • 00:19:56.520 --> 00:19:59.990
  • But all who come against, himself and his kingdom
  • 00:19:59.990 --> 00:20:04.862
  • And against his people here in israel.
  • 00:20:04.862 --> 00:20:06.797
  • We see that throughout the scriptures,
  • 00:20:06.797 --> 00:20:08.165
  • And i believe that jesus will literally set up his throne
  • 00:20:08.165 --> 00:20:12.069
  • In a in a new temple on, the temple mount,
  • 00:20:12.069 --> 00:20:16.373
  • Right in jerusalem.
  • 00:20:16.373 --> 00:20:18.375
  • So what does this mean?
  • 00:20:18.375 --> 00:20:19.910
  • Why? why is god saying that he's going to set up his throne
  • 00:20:19.910 --> 00:20:23.747
  • In iran?
  • 00:20:23.747 --> 00:20:25.215
  • If other prophecies say, god is going to set up
  • 00:20:25.215 --> 00:20:28.652
  • A throne here in jerusalem, here in israel, i'll tell you why.
  • 00:20:28.652 --> 00:20:32.690
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:20:33.457 --> 00:20:35.826
  • What in the world is the lord mean when he says in jeremiah 49
  • 00:20:35.826 --> 00:20:39.863
  • That he's going to set up his throne in iran?
  • 00:20:39.863 --> 00:20:42.633
  • How do we square that with all the other biblical prophecies?
  • 00:20:42.633 --> 00:20:46.036
  • They say that the lord will set up his throne here in israel
  • 00:20:46.036 --> 00:20:48.906
  • To rule and reign
  • 00:20:48.906 --> 00:20:50.040
  • Over the entire world in the end times from jerusalem.
  • 00:20:50.040 --> 00:20:53.510
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:20:53.510 --> 00:20:57.414
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:20:57.414 --> 00:21:00.005
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:21:00.005 --> 00:21:03.556
  • There is a great spiritual awakening,
  • 00:21:04.357 --> 00:21:08.227
  • A great spiritual revolution coming to iran.
  • 00:21:08.227 --> 00:21:12.798
  • Okay, not the islamic revolution of 1979.
  • 00:21:12.798 --> 00:21:15.568
  • The bible does clear.
  • 00:21:15.568 --> 00:21:16.936
  • The bible declares in jeremiah 49 that a massive,
  • 00:21:16.936 --> 00:21:20.272
  • Game changing tectonic shift is coming
  • 00:21:20.272 --> 00:21:25.978
  • Where iran will no longer follow islam.
  • 00:21:25.978 --> 00:21:29.982
  • Okay,
  • 00:21:30.216 --> 00:21:31.183
  • That's what i believe based on jeremiah 49.
  • 00:21:31.183 --> 00:21:33.786
  • I believe when god says in jeremiah 49:38
  • 00:21:33.786 --> 00:21:38.858
  • That he will set his throne in elam, ancient name
  • 00:21:38.858 --> 00:21:42.428
  • For iran, and destroy out of it iran's king and princes.
  • 00:21:42.428 --> 00:21:46.499
  • What god is saying is he's going to put the spiritual epicenter
  • 00:21:46.499 --> 00:21:51.937
  • Of christianity, a christendom in iran
  • 00:21:51.937 --> 00:21:55.808
  • That so many iranians are going to leave islam,
  • 00:21:55.808 --> 00:22:00.212
  • Leave radicalism, and leave me apocalyptic islam
  • 00:22:00.212 --> 00:22:04.083
  • And leave all the leave all this terror and trauma and tragedy,
  • 00:22:04.083 --> 00:22:08.587
  • War and bloodshed and wickedness,
  • 00:22:08.587 --> 00:22:12.024
  • And they're going to come to faith in jesus christ
  • 00:22:12.024 --> 00:22:14.627
  • Filled with the holy spirit.
  • 00:22:14.627 --> 00:22:15.728
  • They're going to then take the message of the gospel
  • 00:22:15.728 --> 00:22:19.532
  • And the word of god from genesis to revelation.
  • 00:22:19.532 --> 00:22:21.801
  • And they're going to take it
  • 00:22:21.801 --> 00:22:22.935
  • As a revolution all over the middle east
  • 00:22:22.935 --> 00:22:26.539
  • And over all over the world. why?
  • 00:22:26.539 --> 00:22:28.941
  • Because jesus will have will set his spiritual throne
  • 00:22:28.941 --> 00:22:32.211
  • In the center of iran,
  • 00:22:32.678 --> 00:22:34.880
  • Not only drawing
  • 00:22:35.281 --> 00:22:36.949
  • Men and women in iran to himself,
  • 00:22:36.949 --> 00:22:39.718
  • But equipping them in the power
  • 00:22:39.718 --> 00:22:41.554
  • Of the holy spirit, the word of god,
  • 00:22:41.554 --> 00:22:43.322
  • To take that message out as a revolution,
  • 00:22:43.322 --> 00:22:46.826
  • A spiritual revolution for jesus, not against jesus
  • 00:22:46.826 --> 00:22:50.062
  • To the rest of the region and and the rest of the world.
  • 00:22:50.062 --> 00:22:52.832
  • Where do i get that from?
  • 00:22:52.832 --> 00:22:54.200
  • I get that from jeremiah 49, verse 38.
  • 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.336
  • And it's electrifying to me now.
  • 00:22:57.336 --> 00:22:59.705
  • We've already seen since 1979
  • 00:22:59.705 --> 00:23:02.775
  • A spiritual awakening going on inside iran.
  • 00:23:02.775 --> 00:23:05.878
  • There is literally no place in the entire middle eastern
  • 00:23:05.878 --> 00:23:08.948
  • North africa where as many muslims are leaving islam
  • 00:23:08.948 --> 00:23:12.718
  • And coming to faith in jesus christ as inside iran.
  • 00:23:12.718 --> 00:23:16.355
  • Okay,
  • 00:23:16.589 --> 00:23:18.324
  • As i've done this research and talked to dozens of,
  • 00:23:18.324 --> 00:23:21.126
  • Of iranian christian scholars of muslim background believers,
  • 00:23:21.126 --> 00:23:24.997
  • Bible scholars, miss theologies and others, what we understand
  • 00:23:24.997 --> 00:23:28.767
  • Is that in 1979, there were only 500
  • 00:23:28.767 --> 00:23:33.105
  • Muslim background believers living in all of iran, 500 or so
  • 00:23:33.105 --> 00:23:38.978
  • Okay, meaning only 500 people who had been born and raised
  • 00:23:38.978 --> 00:23:42.748
  • Muslim had left islam
  • 00:23:42.748 --> 00:23:44.783
  • And come to faith in jesus christ in 1979.
  • 00:23:44.783 --> 00:23:48.387
  • But what's happened over the last 47 years, millions,
  • 00:23:48.387 --> 00:23:52.191
  • Millions of shia muslims have said, that's it.
  • 00:23:52.191 --> 00:23:56.228
  • I'm out not getting to do it right.
  • 00:23:56.228 --> 00:23:59.164
  • They said, if if the iranian leadership
  • 00:23:59.164 --> 00:24:03.168
  • Is the essence of islam,
  • 00:24:03.168 --> 00:24:06.071
  • That is so wicked, that is so dark,
  • 00:24:06.071 --> 00:24:08.340
  • That is so cruel, there's no way that islam can be true.
  • 00:24:08.340 --> 00:24:12.611
  • If the supreme leader is the is the paragon of islam.
  • 00:24:12.611 --> 00:24:17.383
  • He's violent, he's wicked, he's cruel.
  • 00:24:17.383 --> 00:24:19.785
  • Not just to israel and the americans and the arabs.
  • 00:24:19.785 --> 00:24:23.589
  • He's wicked, cruel
  • 00:24:23.589 --> 00:24:25.124
  • And diabolical, against the iranian people themselves.
  • 00:24:25.124 --> 00:24:28.994
  • So millions of iranians have left islam
  • 00:24:28.994 --> 00:24:32.131
  • And come to faith in jesus christ.
  • 00:24:32.131 --> 00:24:33.966
  • Super exciting.
  • 00:24:33.966 --> 00:24:35.534
  • Okay, super exciting and dr. homoz shariat
  • 00:24:35.534 --> 00:24:38.337
  • The man i call the billy graham of iran
  • 00:24:38.337 --> 00:24:41.206
  • Actually wrote a great book about the iran awakening,
  • 00:24:41.206 --> 00:24:44.610
  • How so many muslims have left islam and come to faith in
  • 00:24:44.610 --> 00:24:48.247
  • Jesus christ and his ministry.
  • 00:24:48.247 --> 00:24:50.282
  • Iran life ministries is a ministry
  • 00:24:50.282 --> 00:24:51.917
  • That the joshua fund has teamed up with
  • 00:24:51.917 --> 00:24:54.320
  • To strengthen the church and advance the gospel inside iran.
  • 00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:57.890
  • So we're already seeing more muslims in iran
  • 00:24:57.890 --> 00:25:01.460
  • Come to faith in jesus christ and leave islam than in any
  • 00:25:01.460 --> 00:25:06.065
  • Other country in the middle east or north africa.
  • 00:25:06.065 --> 00:25:09.802
  • The only other country where we're seeing
  • 00:25:09.802 --> 00:25:11.236
  • So many muslims come to faith in jesus would be indonesia.
  • 00:25:11.236 --> 00:25:14.807
  • That's far away and for different reasons.
  • 00:25:14.807 --> 00:25:16.875
  • Okay, so
  • 00:25:16.875 --> 00:25:18.410
  • As exciting as that is, that's just the beginning.
  • 00:25:19.411 --> 00:25:21.680
  • We're just seeing the first
  • 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.881
  • Fruits of and what i believe will be most of the nation.
  • 00:25:22.881 --> 00:25:26.552
  • You know,
  • 00:25:26.552 --> 00:25:27.119
  • I can't tell you that
  • 00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:28.087
  • Every iranian is going to come to faith in
  • 00:25:28.087 --> 00:25:29.688
  • Jesus when god sets his throne there,
  • 00:25:29.688 --> 00:25:32.024
  • But god's not setting his throne there and not,
  • 00:25:32.024 --> 00:25:34.226
  • You know, and not bearing fruit.
  • 00:25:34.226 --> 00:25:36.328
  • And the iranian revolution, right from 1979,
  • 00:25:36.328 --> 00:25:38.897
  • This whole feeling that you take radical islamism,
  • 00:25:38.897 --> 00:25:41.667
  • Apocalyptic islamism, and you go lay down your life
  • 00:25:41.667 --> 00:25:45.037
  • To export that revolution from iran all over the middle
  • 00:25:45.037 --> 00:25:48.007
  • East, north africa and around the world.
  • 00:25:48.007 --> 00:25:49.775
  • That's the way iranians think.
  • 00:25:49.775 --> 00:25:52.444
  • But when they get converted and dramatically transformed
  • 00:25:52.444 --> 00:25:56.448
  • By jesus christ
  • 00:25:56.448 --> 00:25:57.416
  • And the power of the holy
  • 00:25:57.416 --> 00:25:58.117
  • Spirit, they are going to become
  • 00:25:58.117 --> 00:25:59.618
  • Revolutionaries for a different cause,
  • 00:25:59.618 --> 00:26:02.054
  • Not for radical or apocalyptic islam.
  • 00:26:02.054 --> 00:26:04.256
  • But for jesus, for the gospel.
  • 00:26:04.256 --> 00:26:06.325
  • That's what's coming.
  • 00:26:06.825 --> 00:26:08.027
  • Now let's look at the last verse, verse 39 of jeremiah 49.
  • 00:26:08.027 --> 00:26:12.564
  • I want to end with this.
  • 00:26:12.564 --> 00:26:13.899
  • God says this, but it will come about in the last days.
  • 00:26:13.899 --> 00:26:18.337
  • Okay, there's the time reference.
  • 00:26:18.337 --> 00:26:19.505
  • When will this happen?
  • 00:26:19.505 --> 00:26:20.572
  • In the last days of history, which we're in now,
  • 00:26:20.572 --> 00:26:22.608
  • But it will come about in the last days that god says,
  • 00:26:22.608 --> 00:26:26.211
  • I will restore the fortunes of elam.
  • 00:26:26.211 --> 00:26:29.982
  • I will restore the fortunes of iran, declares the lord.
  • 00:26:29.982 --> 00:26:32.918
  • This is the positive news
  • 00:26:32.918 --> 00:26:34.687
  • Not only will god bring about regime change in iran,
  • 00:26:34.687 --> 00:26:38.123
  • Not only will god destroy the king,
  • 00:26:38.123 --> 00:26:42.127
  • The supreme leader, his top,
  • 00:26:42.127 --> 00:26:43.796
  • You know, his top regime, leadership
  • 00:26:43.796 --> 00:26:45.931
  • And the military offensive might
  • 00:26:45.931 --> 00:26:48.033
  • The cruel might of the iranian regime.
  • 00:26:48.033 --> 00:26:50.102
  • He's going to set his throne spiritually inside iran,
  • 00:26:50.102 --> 00:26:53.539
  • And he will restore the fortunes and the blessings
  • 00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:57.142
  • Of the iranian people.
  • 00:26:57.142 --> 00:26:58.944
  • This is what i want, and i hope this is what you want.
  • 00:26:58.944 --> 00:27:01.547
  • I want to see the not just the political liberation
  • 00:27:01.547 --> 00:27:04.416
  • Of the iranian people. i want to see
  • 00:27:04.416 --> 00:27:07.019
  • The spiritual liberation of the iranian people.
  • 00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:09.488
  • I want their life to get better,
  • 00:27:09.488 --> 00:27:11.857
  • But only after this wicked regime is removed.
  • 00:27:11.857 --> 00:27:15.027
  • And that's our show for tonight.
  • 00:27:15.027 --> 00:27:16.328
  • Thank you so much for watching.
  • 00:27:16.328 --> 00:27:17.796

  • The pastor and the leaders of these nations.

  • May god have his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
  • 00:27:29.041 --> 00:27:34.480
