From wars and rumors of war abroad, to the rise of anti-Christian, "woke" ideology here at home, it’s clear that Americans are living in perilous and unprecedented times. Some would even say that we’re witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in real time. Stakelbeck Tonight will make sense of these stunning developments through a bold and biblical lens.

  • Yeah.
  • 00:01:17.333 --> 00:01:18.468

  • No, no, no, you get some ak 47 fans.
  • 00:01:20.770 --> 00:01:23.373

  • Hey, it's the name boots on the ground. yeah, yeah.
  • 00:01:26.276 --> 00:01:29.012
  • You really living out the name? you're living up to it.
  • 00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:31.147
  • Hey, marty, i want to start with you.
  • 00:01:31.147 --> 00:01:33.650
  • You were both just in gaza. yeah.
  • 00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:36.085
  • Tell us about what you saw on the ground.
  • 00:01:36.986 --> 00:01:38.821
  • Number one.
  • 00:01:38.821 --> 00:01:39.822
  • And number two, this international narrative,
  • 00:01:39.822 --> 00:01:41.958
  • That israel
  • 00:01:41.958 --> 00:01:43.159
  • Is intentionally starving gazans is a genocide happening?
  • 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.762
  • What's the truth?
  • 00:01:46.196 --> 00:01:48.131
  • It's a complex situation.
  • 00:01:48.131 --> 00:01:50.366
  • In the past,
  • 00:01:50.366 --> 00:01:51.434
  • I would have said that everything's in the gray area.
  • 00:01:51.434 --> 00:01:53.970
  • And now i've come to realize,
  • 00:01:53.970 --> 00:01:55.438
  • And i think our viewers have come to realize,
  • 00:01:55.438 --> 00:01:57.307
  • That there is a force of evil out there that's spreading lies,
  • 00:01:57.307 --> 00:02:00.143
  • And there's a force that's telling the truth
  • 00:02:00.143 --> 00:02:01.477
  • About what's happening there.
  • 00:02:01.477 --> 00:02:02.745
  • The lie is israel's starving the people of gaza.
  • 00:02:02.745 --> 00:02:05.515
  • The lie is israel is
  • 00:02:05.515 --> 00:02:07.183
  • Is preventing food from entering into the gaza strip.
  • 00:02:07.183 --> 00:02:09.519
  • I've seen you seen firsthand piles.
  • 00:02:09.519 --> 00:02:12.722
  • And as far as the eye can see,
  • 00:02:12.722 --> 00:02:14.591
  • Pallets of food waiting to go into the gaza strip.
  • 00:02:14.591 --> 00:02:16.893
  • What is the truth the idf has brought in over the past?
  • 00:02:16.893 --> 00:02:20.530
  • Whatever it's been
  • 00:02:20.530 --> 00:02:21.731
  • Almost two years of this war has brought in enough calories
  • 00:02:21.731 --> 00:02:25.235
  • To feed everyone in gaza twice and still keep them healthy.
  • 00:02:25.235 --> 00:02:28.938
  • Not once.
  • 00:02:28.938 --> 00:02:29.772
  • Feed them twice. yeah, feed them twice.
  • 00:02:29.772 --> 00:02:32.342
  • And at that time,
  • 00:02:32.342 --> 00:02:33.676
  • The un and it's become an active, attempt
  • 00:02:33.676 --> 00:02:36.412
  • To prevent people from getting food.
  • 00:02:36.412 --> 00:02:37.714
  • In recent months,
  • 00:02:37.714 --> 00:02:38.982
  • The un has actively prevented fruit from being distributed.
  • 00:02:38.982 --> 00:02:41.651
  • Hamas has stolen the food.
  • 00:02:41.651 --> 00:02:43.253
  • Hamas has sold the food back to the people.
  • 00:02:43.253 --> 00:02:45.321
  • Hamas has torched warehouses
  • 00:02:45.321 --> 00:02:47.323
  • With free aid in them
  • 00:02:47.323 --> 00:02:48.691
  • To inflate the price of goods in the markets in gaza.
  • 00:02:48.691 --> 00:02:51.494
  • That's what's happening on the ground
  • 00:02:51.494 --> 00:02:52.929
  • And the international media intentionally.
  • 00:02:52.929 --> 00:02:55.131
  • This is not a mistake,
  • 00:02:55.131 --> 00:02:56.366
  • And it's not a misquote, and it's not an accident.
  • 00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:58.801
  • Intentionally, systematically are spreading lies
  • 00:02:58.801 --> 00:03:00.837
  • About what's happening there with a false, anti-israel, anti
  • 00:03:00.837 --> 00:03:04.674
  • Jewish, let's call anti-semitic, narrative underneath it
  • 00:03:04.674 --> 00:03:08.278
  • That's falsely claiming that israel is starving
  • 00:03:08.278 --> 00:03:10.813
  • The people of gaza,
  • 00:03:10.813 --> 00:03:11.748
  • So much
  • 00:03:11.748 --> 00:03:12.949
  • So that they have to hold on to these bizarre lies short
  • 00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:15.685
  • A picture of a child
  • 00:03:15.685 --> 00:03:16.586
  • That's dying of some other disease,
  • 00:03:16.586 --> 00:03:17.987
  • Who's receiving medical treatment
  • 00:03:17.987 --> 00:03:19.389
  • With the help of the israeli government,
  • 00:03:19.389 --> 00:03:21.157
  • Claiming they're dying of starvation.
  • 00:03:21.157 --> 00:03:22.392
  • I was in new york times, i was in new york times.
  • 00:03:22.392 --> 00:03:24.227
  • And the list goes on and on and on and on.
  • 00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:26.462
  • And it doesn't end there.
  • 00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:27.764
  • Every arena of war that you look at in the middle east,
  • 00:03:27.764 --> 00:03:30.967
  • You'll find two things only israel is helping.
  • 00:03:30.967 --> 00:03:33.936
  • Only christian organizations are helping,
  • 00:03:33.936 --> 00:03:35.838
  • And the world lies and turns
  • 00:03:35.838 --> 00:03:37.307
  • A blind eye to what's happening there.
  • 00:03:37.307 --> 00:03:38.875
  • God, we live in upside down times.
  • 00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:41.678
  • Hey, the prophet
  • 00:03:41.678 --> 00:03:42.945
  • Isaiah talked about those who call good evil and evil good.
  • 00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:45.581
  • Yeah, marty mentioned hamas.
  • 00:03:45.581 --> 00:03:47.350
  • People say, okay, hamas, i understand hamas
  • 00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:50.219
  • Keeping the food and the aid from the people of gaza. yeah.
  • 00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:53.156
  • Why would the u.n.
  • 00:03:53.156 --> 00:03:54.724
  • Blocked shipment of food and aid to the people of gaza?
  • 00:03:54.724 --> 00:03:58.061
  • Well, it's very sad.
  • 00:03:58.528 --> 00:03:59.495
  • And we've seen that
  • 00:03:59.495 --> 00:04:00.496
  • The united nations sense is that it was born
  • 00:04:00.496 --> 00:04:04.500
  • Basically, systematically
  • 00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:07.537
  • Issues resolutions against israel.
  • 00:04:07.537 --> 00:04:10.006
  • There's like
  • 00:04:10.006 --> 00:04:11.207
  • Hundreds of resolutions against the only democratic state
  • 00:04:11.207 --> 00:04:14.644
  • In the middle east,
  • 00:04:14.644 --> 00:04:15.878
  • While only a few dozens against the entire world.
  • 00:04:15.878 --> 00:04:19.082
  • Yeah, more than any other nation. exactly.
  • 00:04:19.082 --> 00:04:20.717
  • All tiny israel
  • 00:04:20.717 --> 00:04:21.751
  • The size of the state of new jersey,
  • 00:04:21.751 --> 00:04:23.353
  • The lone democracy in the middle east.
  • 00:04:23.353 --> 00:04:25.021
  • But more resolutions against israel than north korea,
  • 00:04:25.021 --> 00:04:28.224
  • China and iran combined. there's a reason.
  • 00:04:28.224 --> 00:04:30.993
  • There's a reason.
  • 00:04:30.993 --> 00:04:31.461
  • Yeah, exactly.
  • 00:04:31.461 --> 00:04:32.462
  • The reason is if you talk only about israel,
  • 00:04:32.462 --> 00:04:34.464
  • You never have time to talk about what they're doing.
  • 00:04:34.464 --> 00:04:36.733
  • That's the underlying reason.
  • 00:04:36.733 --> 00:04:37.800
  • And it's also it's very important to understand
  • 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.936
  • That the member states of the united nations,
  • 00:04:39.936 --> 00:04:42.572
  • Like the majority of them, are not democratic states.
  • 00:04:42.572 --> 00:04:44.941
  • People think that the united nations,
  • 00:04:44.941 --> 00:04:46.509
  • It's this western entity, but it's combined
  • 00:04:46.509 --> 00:04:49.579
  • Out of dictators, out of countries that do not
  • 00:04:49.579 --> 00:04:53.316
  • Have democratic elections.
  • 00:04:53.316 --> 00:04:54.650
  • They do not have freedom to women to go and vote.
  • 00:04:54.650 --> 00:04:57.854
  • They do not have any kind of free education,
  • 00:04:57.854 --> 00:05:00.690
  • Any kind of liberal or freedom of values in these countries.
  • 00:05:00.690 --> 00:05:05.928
  • And they are making the decisions
  • 00:05:05.928 --> 00:05:07.163
  • Because they are the majority and they have a clear agenda
  • 00:05:07.163 --> 00:05:09.899
  • To blame israel with everything that's going on.
  • 00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:12.502
  • I think it's a spiritual war.
  • 00:05:12.502 --> 00:05:14.237
  • It's not just a political issue, it's no other explanation.
  • 00:05:14.237 --> 00:05:17.673
  • Well, only explanation that works.
  • 00:05:17.673 --> 00:05:19.742
  • And of course,
  • 00:05:19.742 --> 00:05:20.877
  • They tag into this false narrative of the starvation
  • 00:05:20.877 --> 00:05:24.347
  • In gaza,
  • 00:05:24.347 --> 00:05:25.248
  • The first narrative
  • 00:05:25.248 --> 00:05:26.282
  • Of free palestine from the river to the sea.
  • 00:05:26.282 --> 00:05:29.352
  • Because when people hear that, that's what they focus on.
  • 00:05:29.352 --> 00:05:32.255
  • So you don't need to deal
  • 00:05:32.255 --> 00:05:33.322
  • With the problems in your own countries
  • 00:05:33.322 --> 00:05:35.291
  • When you can rally your population against israel.
  • 00:05:35.291 --> 00:05:38.394
  • Okay. speaking of which, gaza
  • 00:05:38.394 --> 00:05:41.097
  • Operation.
  • 00:05:41.397 --> 00:05:42.365
  • Gideon's. gideon's chariots. yeah. part two.
  • 00:05:42.365 --> 00:05:44.734
  • Yeah. about to commence.
  • 00:05:44.734 --> 00:05:46.302
  • I just want to get both your thoughts as two guys
  • 00:05:46.302 --> 00:05:48.371
  • Who been in the idf reserves since october 7th.
  • 00:05:48.371 --> 00:05:51.441
  • Yeah.
  • 00:05:51.441 --> 00:05:52.275
  • Marty, your thoughts on this operation,
  • 00:05:52.275 --> 00:05:54.177
  • His chances for success in terms of crushing
  • 00:05:54.177 --> 00:05:57.113
  • Hamas and, god willing, getting the hostages out.
  • 00:05:57.113 --> 00:06:00.483
  • So there's two things that are happening at the same time.
  • 00:06:00.483 --> 00:06:02.552
  • I think that's the the difficult thing to understand.
  • 00:06:02.552 --> 00:06:05.354
  • One is the military option, and the military option
  • 00:06:05.354 --> 00:06:07.890
  • Has to be fought out thoroughly until the very last day.
  • 00:06:07.890 --> 00:06:11.861
  • And that means you can't win this war without the hostages.
  • 00:06:11.861 --> 00:06:14.797
  • You can't get the hostages without
  • 00:06:14.797 --> 00:06:16.299
  • Completely defeating hamas.
  • 00:06:16.299 --> 00:06:18.668
  • And then at the same time,
  • 00:06:18.668 --> 00:06:20.102
  • That can't happen without let's call the diplomatic channel.
  • 00:06:20.102 --> 00:06:23.739
  • And the diplomatic is twofold.
  • 00:06:23.739 --> 00:06:25.641
  • One is on the positive side of the agreement,
  • 00:06:25.641 --> 00:06:27.810
  • And everyone's pushing to that.
  • 00:06:27.810 --> 00:06:28.945
  • The qataris,
  • 00:06:28.945 --> 00:06:30.112
  • The egyptians, the americans, the russians, the turks,
  • 00:06:30.112 --> 00:06:32.315
  • Everyone is pushing in that direction.
  • 00:06:32.315 --> 00:06:33.983
  • Let's bring some kind of agreement.
  • 00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:35.551
  • And then the other side of that is the stick.
  • 00:06:35.551 --> 00:06:37.653
  • Everyone is threatening.
  • 00:06:37.653 --> 00:06:39.722
  • If there is no agreement, then we go back to option a,
  • 00:06:39.722 --> 00:06:42.692
  • Which is the military component.
  • 00:06:42.692 --> 00:06:44.126
  • And the two israel has learned, sadly, to live together.
  • 00:06:44.126 --> 00:06:47.630
  • We can't wage war without being pushing
  • 00:06:47.630 --> 00:06:50.132
  • Full time on the let's call the diplomatic side.
  • 00:06:50.132 --> 00:06:52.768
  • And you can't be on the diplomatic side
  • 00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:54.437
  • Without having a huge stick
  • 00:06:54.437 --> 00:06:55.872
  • Above the heads of everyone else. exactly.
  • 00:06:55.872 --> 00:06:58.040
  • Talking about the huge stick, i think the idf just issued
  • 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.844
  • Call ups subsequent to basically orders to the reserve units
  • 00:07:01.844 --> 00:07:06.249
  • Like marty, myself and our coworkers here at tbn israel,
  • 00:07:06.249 --> 00:07:10.119
  • And more than 50,000 israelis were called in preparations
  • 00:07:10.119 --> 00:07:15.391
  • For the car of gaza city because it takes a lot of people.
  • 00:07:15.391 --> 00:07:20.096
  • And also you need to relieve those that have been fighting
  • 00:07:20.096 --> 00:07:22.598
  • For multiple months in gaza and bring in new forces.
  • 00:07:22.598 --> 00:07:26.102
  • It's a process.
  • 00:07:26.102 --> 00:07:26.936
  • It takes time,
  • 00:07:26.936 --> 00:07:28.037
  • And we have the high holidays in the middle of that.
  • 00:07:28.037 --> 00:07:30.139
  • And in the high holidays, we have to always reinforce
  • 00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:33.075
  • Everyone in judea and samaria and the jerusalem area,
  • 00:07:33.075 --> 00:07:36.112
  • Because that season is always prone to trouble.
  • 00:07:36.112 --> 00:07:39.148
  • So that sort of pushes back the whole timeline on that.
  • 00:07:39.148 --> 00:07:41.484
  • People are afraid that it's a bluff.
  • 00:07:41.484 --> 00:07:43.219
  • It isn't a bluff
  • 00:07:43.219 --> 00:07:44.253
  • Where israel is going through
  • 00:07:44.253 --> 00:07:45.388
  • All the motions that are possible
  • 00:07:45.388 --> 00:07:46.889
  • And needed to really do this right this time.
  • 00:07:46.889 --> 00:07:49.425
  • Finally, this is it. this is it.
  • 00:07:49.425 --> 00:07:51.060
  • We're going to pick it up
  • 00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:52.228
  • After the break with marty and yeah, we're talking syria.
  • 00:07:52.228 --> 00:07:55.131
  • Janine. they've been there, folks.
  • 00:07:55.131 --> 00:07:56.899
  • You ought to miss it from here in jerusalem.
  • 00:07:56.899 --> 00:07:59.101
  • Co-host of boots on the ground. yeah. pinto. marty. shoshana.
  • 00:07:59.101 --> 00:08:01.871
  • Much more with our all star team after the break.
  • 00:08:01.871 --> 00:08:04.473
  • Don't move.
  • 00:08:04.473 --> 00:08:09.001
  • Don't move.
  • 00:08:09.001 --> 00:08:12.078
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
  • 00:08:12.845 --> 00:08:14.447
  • We're coming to you with a very special episode
  • 00:08:14.447 --> 00:08:16.449
  • From the city of jerusalem
  • 00:08:16.449 --> 00:08:18.251
  • With our good friend jair pinto and marty
  • 00:08:18.251 --> 00:08:20.186
  • Shoshana, co-host of boots on the ground
  • 00:08:20.186 --> 00:08:22.488
  • Right here on tbn every thursday night.
  • 00:08:22.488 --> 00:08:24.257
  • Folks, do not miss it.
  • 00:08:24.257 --> 00:08:26.025
  • We're talking syria.
  • 00:08:26.025 --> 00:08:27.293
  • U.s. envoy thomas barak met with israeli leadership to discuss
  • 00:08:27.293 --> 00:08:30.930
  • De-escalation strategies in southern syria and lebanon.
  • 00:08:30.930 --> 00:08:35.134
  • He also endorsed
  • 00:08:35.134 --> 00:08:36.436
  • Lebanon's cabinet plan for hezbollah disarmament.
  • 00:08:36.436 --> 00:08:39.706
  • Imagine that
  • 00:08:39.706 --> 00:08:40.807
  • Contingent on israel withdrawing from southern lebanon.
  • 00:08:40.807 --> 00:08:44.344
  • Guys, what do you think?
  • 00:08:44.344 --> 00:08:45.545
  • Talk about a sea change in the region a year ago at this time?
  • 00:08:45.545 --> 00:08:49.549
  • I mean, hezbollah
  • 00:08:49.549 --> 00:08:50.750
  • Still was the most lethal terrorist force in the world.
  • 00:08:50.750 --> 00:08:54.821
  • And israel since then has laid the smackdown, as they say.
  • 00:08:54.821 --> 00:08:57.991
  • Yeah, yeah, yeah.
  • 00:08:57.991 --> 00:08:59.058
  • Your thoughts on the state of hezbollah right now?
  • 00:08:59.058 --> 00:09:01.361
  • And would hezbollah, can hezbollah actually be disarmed?
  • 00:09:01.361 --> 00:09:05.365
  • Is that possible?
  • 00:09:05.365 --> 00:09:06.599
  • So i don't think that
  • 00:09:06.599 --> 00:09:07.634
  • They will give up their weapons without a fight,
  • 00:09:07.634 --> 00:09:09.669
  • Because basically they're the strongest proxy of iran
  • 00:09:09.669 --> 00:09:14.474
  • And they still have funding,
  • 00:09:14.474 --> 00:09:15.808
  • They still have backing, and they still have many shiites
  • 00:09:15.808 --> 00:09:19.045
  • Behind them.
  • 00:09:19.045 --> 00:09:20.413
  • And they will not give up
  • 00:09:20.413 --> 00:09:21.748
  • Without a fight, that's for sure.
  • 00:09:21.748 --> 00:09:23.282
  • They made it clear to the government of lebanon
  • 00:09:23.282 --> 00:09:25.818
  • That if the
  • 00:09:25.818 --> 00:09:26.919
  • Government of lebanon wants to take their guns away,
  • 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.856
  • They will send bullets their way.
  • 00:09:29.856 --> 00:09:31.991
  • That's what they promise to give them.
  • 00:09:31.991 --> 00:09:33.826
  • Okay, so this is a situation
  • 00:09:33.826 --> 00:09:35.094
  • Lebanon is seeing so much civil war. exactly.
  • 00:09:35.094 --> 00:09:37.797
  • Descend into that again. i guess that's a big question.
  • 00:09:37.797 --> 00:09:39.799
  • Yeah.
  • 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:40.933
  • Yeah, i think so because they don't want to give up.
  • 00:09:40.933 --> 00:09:43.169
  • There's no chance that they give up without a struggle.
  • 00:09:43.169 --> 00:09:45.538
  • That's how it operates in the middle east.
  • 00:09:45.538 --> 00:09:47.240
  • We see that in the gaza strip. we see that in syria.
  • 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.676
  • We see that with the houthis in yemen.
  • 00:09:49.676 --> 00:09:52.178
  • That's the only way whoever projects strength will win.
  • 00:09:52.178 --> 00:09:56.883
  • And that's the game here that he's dealing with.
  • 00:09:56.883 --> 00:09:59.886
  • So he
  • 00:09:59.886 --> 00:10:00.553
  • Should learn and never withdraw
  • 00:10:01.187 --> 00:10:03.322
  • And put our citizens in danger and never trust anybody else
  • 00:10:03.322 --> 00:10:06.826
  • To defend ourselves and our borders.
  • 00:10:06.826 --> 00:10:08.628
  • And iran will not let hezbollah disarm their masters in tehran.
  • 00:10:08.628 --> 00:10:12.632
  • Marty, you both were just in syria.
  • 00:10:12.632 --> 00:10:15.168
  • Yeah.
  • 00:10:15.168 --> 00:10:16.035
  • What a trip you were in natura?
  • 00:10:16.035 --> 00:10:18.071
  • Yeah, about seven miles, i believe.
  • 00:10:18.071 --> 00:10:19.639
  • Over the border from israel.
  • 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:21.107
  • A little less, but little less. it was.
  • 00:10:21.107 --> 00:10:23.209
  • It's far enough to really experience
  • 00:10:23.209 --> 00:10:24.610
  • The country as it is, for sure.
  • 00:10:24.610 --> 00:10:26.312
  • And there's been so much going down in that particular region
  • 00:10:26.312 --> 00:10:29.315
  • That connects the region over the years.
  • 00:10:29.315 --> 00:10:30.883
  • Now, we've seen isis and al qaeda linked terrorists there.
  • 00:10:30.883 --> 00:10:34.087
  • We saw the iranian proxies there.
  • 00:10:34.087 --> 00:10:36.122
  • What's the situation like there now?
  • 00:10:36.122 --> 00:10:38.558
  • And what does it say about, in a broader sense,
  • 00:10:38.558 --> 00:10:41.461
  • About syria and the new jihadi leadership there?
  • 00:10:41.461 --> 00:10:44.864
  • So syria is a big problem, and it represents the issues
  • 00:10:44.864 --> 00:10:47.700
  • That are happening in the middle east right now.
  • 00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:49.535
  • And i'll explain that thought.
  • 00:10:49.535 --> 00:10:51.137
  • So for the syrian people, since what
  • 00:10:51.137 --> 00:10:53.473
  • We call the arab spring and they call, you know,
  • 00:10:53.473 --> 00:10:56.209
  • Let's call the dictator assad killing his own people.
  • 00:10:56.209 --> 00:10:58.511
  • So going on 15 years for them,
  • 00:10:58.511 --> 00:11:00.346
  • They've seen one wave of violence after the other.
  • 00:11:00.346 --> 00:11:02.882
  • First it was assad killing his own people,
  • 00:11:02.882 --> 00:11:05.418
  • Then infighting
  • 00:11:05.418 --> 00:11:06.319
  • Between the militias
  • 00:11:06.319 --> 00:11:07.487
  • When it was destabilized and the russians
  • 00:11:07.487 --> 00:11:08.988
  • Taking over pieces of the country.
  • 00:11:08.988 --> 00:11:10.456
  • And now, in the past year or so since, has
  • 00:11:10.456 --> 00:11:12.692
  • Took over the country.
  • 00:11:12.692 --> 00:11:13.793
  • Now it's the sunnis killing the other minorities.
  • 00:11:13.793 --> 00:11:16.129
  • The numbers are staggering.
  • 00:11:16.129 --> 00:11:17.296
  • We're talking about close to 150,000 people.
  • 00:11:17.296 --> 00:11:19.699
  • We're talking about noncombatants
  • 00:11:19.699 --> 00:11:21.434
  • That have been murdered.
  • 00:11:21.434 --> 00:11:22.368
  • No one's talking about
  • 00:11:22.368 --> 00:11:23.469
  • The new government by the new government.
  • 00:11:23.469 --> 00:11:25.805
  • What people mistakenly think
  • 00:11:25.805 --> 00:11:27.807
  • Is the reformed al giuliani or asherah.
  • 00:11:27.807 --> 00:11:31.377
  • He's not reformed.
  • 00:11:31.377 --> 00:11:32.478
  • He is al-qaida.
  • 00:11:32.478 --> 00:11:33.713
  • He's he's a terrorist through and through.
  • 00:11:33.713 --> 00:11:35.982
  • And he's shown very clearly that's what he does,
  • 00:11:35.982 --> 00:11:38.050
  • More so he's unable to fully control his country.
  • 00:11:38.050 --> 00:11:40.486
  • And here's another, another big issue.
  • 00:11:40.486 --> 00:11:42.221
  • There's two things happening here
  • 00:11:42.221 --> 00:11:43.823
  • That country and multiple others
  • 00:11:43.823 --> 00:11:45.491
  • In this region have been destabilized.
  • 00:11:45.491 --> 00:11:47.426
  • So now they're prone to internal violence
  • 00:11:47.426 --> 00:11:49.896
  • And they're susceptible to external violence
  • 00:11:49.896 --> 00:11:51.731
  • By other parties.
  • 00:11:51.731 --> 00:11:52.865
  • That's one side
  • 00:11:52.865 --> 00:11:53.666
  • Second side is
  • 00:11:53.666 --> 00:11:54.967
  • Is now that they're destabilized,
  • 00:11:54.967 --> 00:11:56.836
  • Other evil players, such as iran,
  • 00:11:56.836 --> 00:11:58.805
  • Can come all the way to the border with israel.
  • 00:11:58.805 --> 00:12:00.873
  • And as it was saying now,
  • 00:12:00.873 --> 00:12:02.475
  • It's a really tricky situation for us.
  • 00:12:02.475 --> 00:12:04.510
  • Think lebanon, syria, jordan, egypt,
  • 00:12:04.510 --> 00:12:08.281
  • Injured in somalia, everyone who ten years ago,
  • 00:12:08.281 --> 00:12:10.550
  • You would say, here's this mega power, be it a dictator
  • 00:12:10.550 --> 00:12:13.553
  • Or hamas, appeal to whoever it is.
  • 00:12:13.553 --> 00:12:15.488
  • There is no one party to talk to right now.
  • 00:12:15.488 --> 00:12:17.456
  • Now it's factions.
  • 00:12:17.456 --> 00:12:18.825
  • Now there's infighting.
  • 00:12:18.825 --> 00:12:20.059
  • Now there are routes between them or the iranians or whoever
  • 00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:23.830
  • It is, let's call
  • 00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:24.764
  • It one sect of global jihad can make it
  • 00:12:24.764 --> 00:12:26.933
  • All the way to the israeli border
  • 00:12:26.933 --> 00:12:28.501
  • And start jeopardizing our own safety.
  • 00:12:28.501 --> 00:12:30.436
  • So we have to play a really long game that can be played alone.
  • 00:12:30.436 --> 00:12:33.706
  • The us has to be part of that, and i think maybe
  • 00:12:33.706 --> 00:12:35.341
  • That's another conversation altogether.
  • 00:12:35.341 --> 00:12:36.876
  • Yeah, we'll talk about that, monty.
  • 00:12:36.876 --> 00:12:37.910
  • Great breakdown as always.
  • 00:12:37.910 --> 00:12:39.145
  • And turkey as well.
  • 00:12:39.145 --> 00:12:40.646
  • In syria, a major influence perhaps filling a vacuum with
  • 00:12:40.646 --> 00:12:44.350
  • The demise of the iranian empire to a degree.
  • 00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:46.752
  • Hey, let's take a quick
  • 00:12:46.752 --> 00:12:47.887
  • Look at marty and yeah, on the ground in syria.
  • 00:12:47.887 --> 00:12:51.757
  • Watch
  • 00:12:51.757 --> 00:12:55.161
  • The. so we just arrived
  • 00:12:55.661 --> 00:13:05.905
  • Inside syria, and we are on the connecting
  • 00:13:05.905 --> 00:13:08.941
  • Side of the israel syrian border.
  • 00:13:08.941 --> 00:13:12.044
  • We arrived in a hospital that is operated
  • 00:13:12.044 --> 00:13:15.214
  • By the friendship's organization.
  • 00:13:15.214 --> 00:13:22.722
  • Know.
  • 00:13:22.955 --> 00:13:28.294
  • Come come come, come.
  • 00:13:28.794 --> 00:13:30.363
  • As we're walking around here, some of the kids very much
  • 00:13:30.363 --> 00:13:33.399
  • Wanted us to see them, jumping on the trampoline.
  • 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.869
  • That really shows you the humanity of what's going on
  • 00:13:36.869 --> 00:13:39.572
  • Here.
  • 00:13:39.572 --> 00:13:40.806
  • It's not just about numbers, not just about packages of aid,
  • 00:13:40.806 --> 00:13:43.376
  • But i mean, really
  • 00:13:43.376 --> 00:13:44.443
  • Being able to impact and bless some of these young,
  • 00:13:44.443 --> 00:13:47.480
  • I mean, these kids that have grown up in a warzone,
  • 00:13:48.481 --> 00:13:51.250
  • Many of them were born well after the war here started.
  • 00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:54.287
  • And i was just got to spend some time with these kids.
  • 00:13:54.287 --> 00:13:56.522
  • I really wanted to show me one,
  • 00:13:56.522 --> 00:13:57.657
  • Their performance on the trampoline.
  • 00:13:57.657 --> 00:13:59.392
  • And you really get to see how they get a break
  • 00:13:59.392 --> 00:14:01.994
  • From the violent, the difficulty, unpleasant life
  • 00:14:01.994 --> 00:14:04.530
  • That they've been experiencing here.
  • 00:14:04.530 --> 00:14:06.699
  • Guys, what an experience to be on the ground in syria.
  • 00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:09.902
  • This was inconceivable not too long ago.
  • 00:14:09.902 --> 00:14:12.204
  • Yeah, about a minute left before the break.
  • 00:14:12.204 --> 00:14:13.706
  • Then you'll be right back.
  • 00:14:13.706 --> 00:14:14.640
  • What were your thoughts being on the ground
  • 00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:16.008
  • As an israeli being on the ground in syria?
  • 00:14:16.008 --> 00:14:18.110
  • You know what i liked about it?
  • 00:14:18.110 --> 00:14:19.712
  • That this country has seen so much suffering.
  • 00:14:19.712 --> 00:14:22.148
  • And under the idf rule,
  • 00:14:22.148 --> 00:14:24.951
  • There were hospitals that were being built.
  • 00:14:24.951 --> 00:14:28.354
  • The soldiers were together with the kids of syria
  • 00:14:28.354 --> 00:14:32.158
  • That they were coming to receive medical treatment
  • 00:14:32.158 --> 00:14:34.927
  • In a hospital with volunteers from around the world,
  • 00:14:34.927 --> 00:14:38.264
  • But all protected christian volunteers,
  • 00:14:38.264 --> 00:14:40.533
  • Christian volunteers, christian volunteers, yes,
  • 00:14:40.533 --> 00:14:42.635
  • But all protected by the idf.
  • 00:14:42.635 --> 00:14:44.537
  • We see it again and again, the only place that take care
  • 00:14:44.537 --> 00:14:47.907
  • Of the people that need the help most of all is the idf.
  • 00:14:47.907 --> 00:14:51.877
  • That's the only force that is taking care of
  • 00:14:51.877 --> 00:14:55.081
  • Those in need in our enemy states.
  • 00:14:55.081 --> 00:14:57.216
  • Syria has been our enemy.
  • 00:14:57.216 --> 00:14:58.884
  • We studied it
  • 00:14:58.884 --> 00:15:00.019
  • In the idf from day one that syria is our arch enemy,
  • 00:15:00.019 --> 00:15:03.823
  • And we donate clothes to those in need in southern syria,
  • 00:15:03.823 --> 00:15:07.960
  • In the areas that the idf is controlling.
  • 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:09.795
  • Now, israel is a light
  • 00:15:09.795 --> 00:15:10.863
  • Into this region and a light of the nations.
  • 00:15:10.863 --> 00:15:12.698
  • Gentlemen, after the break, more with marty and yeah, yeah.
  • 00:15:12.698 --> 00:15:15.067
  • What about the trump effect here in israel will break that down
  • 00:15:15.067 --> 00:15:18.237
  • Next.
  • 00:15:18.237 --> 00:15:21.005
  • Next.
  • 00:15:21.005 --> 00:15:24.051
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
  • 00:15:24.785 --> 00:15:26.253
  • We are breaking down the world's
  • 00:15:26.253 --> 00:15:27.554
  • Most complex and strategic region.
  • 00:15:27.554 --> 00:15:30.024
  • From that very region from here in jerusalem.
  • 00:15:30.024 --> 00:15:33.093
  • We are with jair pinto, marty shoshana,
  • 00:15:33.093 --> 00:15:35.329
  • Co-host of boots on the ground.
  • 00:15:35.329 --> 00:15:37.398
  • We're talking about international bodies, the u.n.
  • 00:15:37.398 --> 00:15:40.434
  • Most notorious of all, but also the icc,
  • 00:15:40.434 --> 00:15:43.037
  • The international criminal court.
  • 00:15:43.037 --> 00:15:44.972
  • Very not only anti-israel, but anti-american.
  • 00:15:44.972 --> 00:15:47.474
  • Well, secretary of state marco rubio recently announced that
  • 00:15:47.474 --> 00:15:51.211
  • He would be sanctioning at least four officials from the icc.
  • 00:15:51.211 --> 00:15:54.715
  • He said, quote, the icc has abused its power,
  • 00:15:54.715 --> 00:15:57.851
  • Politicized justice and tried to prosecute u.s.
  • 00:15:57.851 --> 00:16:01.522
  • And israeli nationals without consent.
  • 00:16:01.522 --> 00:16:04.324
  • The u.s.
  • 00:16:04.324 --> 00:16:04.892
  • Will never allow
  • 00:16:04.892 --> 00:16:05.959
  • Foreign bureaucrats to override our sovereignty.
  • 00:16:05.959 --> 00:16:09.963
  • Amen, marty, i love it.
  • 00:16:09.963 --> 00:16:12.166
  • How significant is this?
  • 00:16:12.166 --> 00:16:13.434
  • Does this send a message?
  • 00:16:13.434 --> 00:16:14.601
  • And i think this is probably part of the trump effect.
  • 00:16:14.601 --> 00:16:17.171
  • We can call it.
  • 00:16:17.171 --> 00:16:17.971
  • Yeah.
  • 00:16:17.971 --> 00:16:18.572
  • Does this send a message
  • 00:16:18.572 --> 00:16:19.740
  • To the tyrants and to the anti-israel,
  • 00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:22.176
  • Anti-american forces around the world?
  • 00:16:22.176 --> 00:16:23.911
  • Yes, i think it does.
  • 00:16:23.911 --> 00:16:25.479
  • But i'd say there's a really big play here, which is the u.s.
  • 00:16:25.479 --> 00:16:28.482
  • Government calling the bluff
  • 00:16:28.482 --> 00:16:29.950
  • On many of these aid organizations.
  • 00:16:29.950 --> 00:16:31.718
  • And the u.s.
  • 00:16:31.718 --> 00:16:32.386
  • Has been the big benefactor
  • 00:16:32.386 --> 00:16:33.554
  • Of the un and other agencies for decades at this point.
  • 00:16:33.554 --> 00:16:36.824
  • And trump, in both his terms, both his previous one
  • 00:16:36.824 --> 00:16:38.859
  • And this one one, appoint an incredibly strong
  • 00:16:38.859 --> 00:16:41.361
  • And well articulated individuals as ambassador to the u.n.,
  • 00:16:41.361 --> 00:16:44.832
  • Who called out the u.n. on their bluff.
  • 00:16:44.832 --> 00:16:46.633
  • Secondly, asked them for a report
  • 00:16:46.633 --> 00:16:49.103
  • On what they're actually doing with their money.
  • 00:16:49.103 --> 00:16:50.637
  • And october 7th has shown us,
  • 00:16:50.637 --> 00:16:53.140
  • Has shown us very, very clearly
  • 00:16:53.140 --> 00:16:54.408
  • What they've been doing with their money.
  • 00:16:54.408 --> 00:16:55.876
  • And it sounds to some people,
  • 00:16:55.876 --> 00:16:57.077
  • Oh, this is these extreme statements,
  • 00:16:57.077 --> 00:16:59.012
  • Let's defund the un, let's do this and that.
  • 00:16:59.012 --> 00:17:01.115
  • Wait a minute.
  • 00:17:01.115 --> 00:17:02.049
  • This organization is funding terrorists.
  • 00:17:02.049 --> 00:17:03.817
  • This organization is actively, actively involved in
  • 00:17:03.817 --> 00:17:07.421
  • Trying to starve the people of gaza. unwra.
  • 00:17:07.421 --> 00:17:09.423
  • Yeah, but not just them.
  • 00:17:09.423 --> 00:17:10.691
  • They're preventing aid from being distributed
  • 00:17:10.691 --> 00:17:12.426
  • Because it looks good on israel. it's sinister.
  • 00:17:12.426 --> 00:17:14.428
  • They ignore everything that happens in the world.
  • 00:17:14.428 --> 00:17:16.663
  • If it doesn't serve them having more money, more power
  • 00:17:16.663 --> 00:17:20.134
  • And more respect.
  • 00:17:20.134 --> 00:17:21.034
  • If it doesn't fall through those lines,
  • 00:17:21.034 --> 00:17:22.903
  • They don't care about what's happening.
  • 00:17:22.903 --> 00:17:24.771
  • And i'll give you examples.
  • 00:17:24.771 --> 00:17:25.906
  • They don't care about what's happening in south sudan.
  • 00:17:25.906 --> 00:17:27.641
  • They don't care about a dozen ethnic cleansing attempts
  • 00:17:27.641 --> 00:17:30.410
  • Or successes in the last couple of years.
  • 00:17:30.410 --> 00:17:32.646
  • They just don't even hit the radar for those organizations.
  • 00:17:32.646 --> 00:17:36.316
  • And they're hypocrites
  • 00:17:36.316 --> 00:17:37.351
  • That need to be called out on their lies.
  • 00:17:37.351 --> 00:17:39.386
  • And the u.s. has done an amazing job of doing that.
  • 00:17:39.386 --> 00:17:41.622
  • I've just been straight shooter in saying,
  • 00:17:41.622 --> 00:17:43.323
  • Guys, if you want to sit in that seat
  • 00:17:43.323 --> 00:17:45.292
  • And be the one to rule
  • 00:17:45.292 --> 00:17:46.527
  • What is just and right and wrong in this world,
  • 00:17:46.527 --> 00:17:48.629
  • Then you better start behaving as that mission calls.
  • 00:17:48.629 --> 00:17:51.532
  • Yeah, speaking of the u.n.
  • 00:17:51.532 --> 00:17:52.799
  • And mighty great breakdown, speaking of the u.n., the u.n.
  • 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.102
  • General assembly is coming up next month, in september,
  • 00:17:55.102 --> 00:17:58.205
  • At that general assembly.
  • 00:17:58.205 --> 00:18:00.340
  • Cannot a rogue's gallery, canada, france,
  • 00:18:00.340 --> 00:18:03.544
  • The uk, perhaps australia.
  • 00:18:03.544 --> 00:18:05.512
  • They're all vowing to formally recognize a palestinian state.
  • 00:18:05.512 --> 00:18:09.950
  • Doesn't matter what israel thinks, apparently.
  • 00:18:09.950 --> 00:18:12.119
  • Why is that so destructive?
  • 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:13.487
  • And how does that embolden hamas?
  • 00:18:13.487 --> 00:18:15.789
  • Let me tell you this.
  • 00:18:15.789 --> 00:18:16.924
  • If i was a hamas terrorist, which i'm not, thank god.
  • 00:18:16.924 --> 00:18:20.260
  • But if i was a terrorist and i would hear
  • 00:18:20.260 --> 00:18:23.363
  • That france, canada, the u.k.
  • 00:18:23.363 --> 00:18:26.833
  • And other countries, germany are about to recognize
  • 00:18:26.833 --> 00:18:30.571
  • A palestinian state because i launched a massacre
  • 00:18:30.571 --> 00:18:34.908
  • And a terrorist attack against the jewish state of israel,
  • 00:18:34.908 --> 00:18:39.012
  • Then i would say, good, that was a good call.
  • 00:18:39.012 --> 00:18:42.216
  • I should do it. i should not surrender.
  • 00:18:42.216 --> 00:18:44.618
  • I should not return the hostages
  • 00:18:44.618 --> 00:18:46.687
  • Because i'm getting a price for my atrocities.
  • 00:18:46.687 --> 00:18:50.457
  • The world likes what i did to the jewish people,
  • 00:18:50.457 --> 00:18:54.161
  • And i should continue doing that.
  • 00:18:54.161 --> 00:18:55.963
  • There's no reason for me to stop
  • 00:18:55.963 --> 00:18:57.264
  • Because i'm getting prizes for my actions.
  • 00:18:57.264 --> 00:18:59.700
  • And this will just jumpstart more terrorism around the world,
  • 00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:03.770
  • Because other terrorist organizations,
  • 00:19:03.770 --> 00:19:06.073
  • The muslim brotherhood's
  • 00:19:06.073 --> 00:19:07.441
  • And very bad actors, including isis and al-qaida
  • 00:19:07.441 --> 00:19:11.511
  • And other terrorists are wanting to do the same.
  • 00:19:11.511 --> 00:19:14.648
  • You see in afghanistan that the taliban are now
  • 00:19:14.648 --> 00:19:18.885
  • Wanting a recognition as the leadership of afghanistan,
  • 00:19:18.885 --> 00:19:23.023
  • The official leadership, a terrorist organization.
  • 00:19:23.023 --> 00:19:25.459
  • So this is what's happening
  • 00:19:25.459 --> 00:19:26.994
  • When you do not stand up for the truth
  • 00:19:26.994 --> 00:19:29.896
  • And you try to blame the only democratic state
  • 00:19:29.896 --> 00:19:33.200
  • Of israel
  • 00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:34.268
  • In the middle east for a
  • 00:19:34.268 --> 00:19:35.502
  • Complete lack of moral clarity
  • 00:19:35.502 --> 00:19:36.970
  • And about a minute left before the break.
  • 00:19:36.970 --> 00:19:38.672
  • But it seems to me
  • 00:19:38.672 --> 00:19:39.873
  • That the west should be standing shoulder
  • 00:19:39.873 --> 00:19:41.541
  • To shoulder with israel for the mere fact
  • 00:19:41.541 --> 00:19:43.677
  • That we're fighting a shared foe,
  • 00:19:43.677 --> 00:19:45.379
  • A shared jihadist foe of both the shia and sunni variety.
  • 00:19:45.379 --> 00:19:49.316
  • Yeah, you're absolutely right.
  • 00:19:49.916 --> 00:19:51.618
  • Many of these countries have lost their moral compass.
  • 00:19:51.618 --> 00:19:54.755
  • They're unable to distinguish between right and wrong, so much
  • 00:19:54.755 --> 00:19:58.392
  • So that they look evil in the eye.
  • 00:19:58.392 --> 00:19:59.826
  • And they say, i like that i'm going to follow that.
  • 00:19:59.826 --> 00:20:02.763
  • And they look at pure good and they say, i despise that.
  • 00:20:02.763 --> 00:20:06.800
  • And i'll have to tell you something that's biblical.
  • 00:20:06.800 --> 00:20:09.603
  • Their hearts have been corrupted by their evil.
  • 00:20:09.603 --> 00:20:12.139
  • Their hearts have been corrupted
  • 00:20:12.139 --> 00:20:13.407
  • By the fact that they rebelled against god,
  • 00:20:13.407 --> 00:20:15.509
  • Against the biblical narrative, and against god's promises.
  • 00:20:15.509 --> 00:20:18.278
  • And now they're reaping the fruit of exactly that.
  • 00:20:18.278 --> 00:20:20.547
  • You see that in their countries.
  • 00:20:20.547 --> 00:20:22.082
  • You see that in their politics.
  • 00:20:22.082 --> 00:20:23.317
  • You'll see it in their in their demographics.
  • 00:20:23.317 --> 00:20:25.252
  • They will pay the price for how they turned away from the truth
  • 00:20:25.252 --> 00:20:29.189
  • And against people who are truly suffering,
  • 00:20:29.189 --> 00:20:30.891
  • Because when they focus on israel
  • 00:20:30.891 --> 00:20:32.225
  • As an evil that doesn't really exist,
  • 00:20:32.225 --> 00:20:33.994
  • They're choosing to divert all their efforts away
  • 00:20:33.994 --> 00:20:36.430
  • From the people who are truly suffering very much.
  • 00:20:36.430 --> 00:20:38.498
  • Well said folks, bible times.
  • 00:20:38.498 --> 00:20:40.834
  • And it's all going down
  • 00:20:40.834 --> 00:20:41.802
  • Right here in jerusalem in the land of israel.
  • 00:20:41.802 --> 00:20:44.971
  • Coming up, final thoughts from here in the land with marty
  • 00:20:44.971 --> 00:20:47.607
  • In your ears, the ground.
  • 00:20:47.607 --> 00:20:52.006
  • In your ears, the ground.
  • 00:20:52.006 --> 00:20:54.812
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:20:55.579 --> 00:20:56.980
  • We are wrapping up from here
  • 00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:58.082
  • In jerusalem with marty and your folks.
  • 00:20:58.082 --> 00:21:00.250
  • Quick programing note our good friend, the u.s.
  • 00:21:00.250 --> 00:21:02.453
  • Ambassador to israel, mike
  • 00:21:02.453 --> 00:21:03.954
  • Huckabee, will be here tomorrow night.
  • 00:21:03.954 --> 00:21:05.522
  • Exclusive interview from our tbn jerusalem studio.
  • 00:21:05.522 --> 00:21:08.592
  • Guys, let's end on an optimistic note us, marty.
  • 00:21:08.592 --> 00:21:11.662
  • Number one, a lot of craziness in the region,
  • 00:21:11.662 --> 00:21:13.564
  • But some great things happening.
  • 00:21:13.564 --> 00:21:15.432
  • Some say this is israel's greatest generation,
  • 00:21:15.432 --> 00:21:17.501
  • These young men and women in the idf right now. yeah.
  • 00:21:17.501 --> 00:21:20.337
  • I think if
  • 00:21:20.337 --> 00:21:21.338
  • Anything that we can look at is the fact that
  • 00:21:21.338 --> 00:21:23.040
  • We've all been forced to look straight
  • 00:21:23.040 --> 00:21:25.008
  • In the eye of reality and history,
  • 00:21:25.008 --> 00:21:27.344
  • We're reminded that we're here in this land
  • 00:21:27.344 --> 00:21:28.712
  • Because of god's promise
  • 00:21:28.712 --> 00:21:30.180
  • That he's been faithful through
  • 00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:31.615
  • And through every single day, every time, even
  • 00:21:31.615 --> 00:21:34.585
  • When we don't understand it.
  • 00:21:34.585 --> 00:21:36.053
  • And that this promise comes with a price.
  • 00:21:36.053 --> 00:21:38.956
  • So it comes with a resolution.
  • 00:21:38.956 --> 00:21:40.324
  • As a people to understand,
  • 00:21:40.324 --> 00:21:41.658
  • We need to be to ready to continue in, sacrifice
  • 00:21:41.658 --> 00:21:44.995
  • And pay the price for the incredible, miraculous,
  • 00:21:44.995 --> 00:21:47.831
  • Amazing thing that is happening in this land
  • 00:21:47.831 --> 00:21:50.000
  • And pray for the nations around us.
  • 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.969
  • I think that's an important takeaway,
  • 00:21:51.969 --> 00:21:53.504
  • Which is to pray for the stability
  • 00:21:53.504 --> 00:21:54.838
  • And the salvation of every muslim nation
  • 00:21:54.838 --> 00:21:57.141
  • Around us, because god knows they need us. amen.
  • 00:21:57.141 --> 00:21:59.243
  • And yet here god is working literal miracles in this land
  • 00:21:59.243 --> 00:22:02.579
  • Right now.
  • 00:22:02.579 --> 00:22:03.847
  • Talk a bit about, as we close out how god's moving in israel.
  • 00:22:03.847 --> 00:22:06.250
  • Listen, if you had any any doubt in your mind
  • 00:22:06.250 --> 00:22:10.220
  • That god is alive, i think you should just turn the tv.
  • 00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:13.791
  • Look at these.
  • 00:22:13.791 --> 00:22:14.758
  • We were attacked by seven different nations
  • 00:22:14.758 --> 00:22:16.894
  • At the same time, and we are still here.
  • 00:22:16.894 --> 00:22:19.997
  • Not just you. we're changing the middle east.
  • 00:22:19.997 --> 00:22:22.065
  • Hezbollah, the world's
  • 00:22:22.065 --> 00:22:23.200
  • Largest, more strongest terrorist organization, is gone.
  • 00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.870
  • The yemen and yemen's.
  • 00:22:26.870 --> 00:22:29.306
  • The houthis in yemen are also crushed.
  • 00:22:29.306 --> 00:22:31.909
  • The iranians are no longer having a nuclear facilities.
  • 00:22:31.909 --> 00:22:36.280
  • The syria doesn't exist.
  • 00:22:36.280 --> 00:22:38.782
  • God is changing the middle east, and he's showing the world
  • 00:22:38.782 --> 00:22:42.419
  • That he's performing biblical level miracles today.
  • 00:22:42.419 --> 00:22:46.356
  • And he still using israel like he did in biblical times.
  • 00:22:46.356 --> 00:22:50.994
  • Okay, this is just amazing.
  • 00:22:50.994 --> 00:22:52.663
  • So use this and pray for the situation
  • 00:22:52.663 --> 00:22:56.667
  • And be encouraged in your life
  • 00:22:56.667 --> 00:22:58.635

  • Yeah. amen.
  • 00:23:00.571 --> 00:23:01.705
