Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: Christians Rising For Israel | Stakelbeck Tonight | October 1, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight, i'm erick stakelbeck,
00:00:18.508 --> 00:00:21.077
And the walls are closing in on hamas.
00:00:21.077 --> 00:00:25.081
As the two year anniversary of the october 7th
00:00:25.081 --> 00:00:27.350
Massacre approaches.
00:00:27.350 --> 00:00:28.785
President trump has put forth a peace plan that would end
00:00:28.785 --> 00:00:32.155
Israel's war against hamas terrorists in gaza.
00:00:32.155 --> 00:00:35.492
On monday.
00:00:35.492 --> 00:00:36.559
During his press conference with the president,
00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:38.428
Israeli prime
00:00:38.428 --> 00:00:39.629
Minister benjamin netanyahu publicly agreed to the plan.
00:00:39.629 --> 00:00:43.066
Arab and muslim nations, including hamas backers
00:00:43.066 --> 00:00:46.402
Qatar and turkey, also support the president's
00:00:46.402 --> 00:00:49.472
Vision and are urging hamas to take the deal.
00:00:49.472 --> 00:00:53.076
President trump
00:00:53.076 --> 00:00:54.144
Made clear on tuesday that the clock is ticking.
00:00:54.144 --> 00:00:58.181
How long i plan to get him to respond
00:00:58.181 --> 00:01:01.417
To the cease fire proposal.
00:01:01.417 --> 00:01:02.685
Well, we're going to do that.
00:01:02.685 --> 00:01:03.820
Have four days with the holidays
00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:06.055
And all of the arab countries have signed up.
00:01:06.055 --> 00:01:08.758
The muslim countries all signed up,
00:01:08.758 --> 00:01:11.461
Israelis all signed up.
00:01:11.961 --> 00:01:13.730
So he's waiting for us, and i'm us is either going to be
00:01:13.730 --> 00:01:17.100
Doing it or not.
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:18.134
And if it's not, it's going to be a very sad end,
00:01:18.134 --> 00:01:21.638
A sad and potentially violent end.
00:01:21.638 --> 00:01:24.741
The president made clear that if hamas rejects this deal,
00:01:24.741 --> 00:01:27.844
He has given israel the green light to destroy
00:01:27.844 --> 00:01:30.980
The bloodthirsty terror group once and for all.
00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:34.184
Israeli forces are already encircling the hamas stronghold
00:01:34.184 --> 00:01:37.754
Of gaza city, and bibi says they're not playing games.
00:01:37.754 --> 00:01:42.025
But if hamas rejects your plan, mr.
00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:44.661
President, or if they
00:01:44.661 --> 00:01:47.730
Supposedly accept it, and then
00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:51.000
Then basically
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.468
Do everything to counter it,
00:01:52.468 --> 00:01:55.471
Then israel will finish the job
00:01:55.471 --> 00:01:58.274
By itself.
00:01:58.274 --> 00:02:00.543
This can be done the easy way,
00:02:00.543 --> 00:02:03.813
Or it can be done the hard way,
00:02:03.813 --> 00:02:06.249
But it will be done.
00:02:06.716 --> 00:02:09.018
We prefer the easy way, but it has to be done.
00:02:09.018 --> 00:02:13.389
All these goals must be achieved because we didn't fight
00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:17.594
This horrible fight.
00:02:18.061 --> 00:02:19.429
Sacrifice the finest of our young men
00:02:19.429 --> 00:02:22.832
To have hamas stay in gaza and threaten us again
00:02:22.832 --> 00:02:26.502
And again and again with these horrific massacres.
00:02:26.502 --> 00:02:30.907
Now israelis began observance of yom kippur at sundown.
00:02:30.907 --> 00:02:34.577
Today,
00:02:34.577 --> 00:02:35.211
It's the day of atonement,
00:02:35.211 --> 00:02:36.579
The holiest day on the jewish calendar.
00:02:36.579 --> 00:02:38.781
By the time yom kippur ends
00:02:38.781 --> 00:02:40.817
At sundown on thursday,
00:02:40.817 --> 00:02:42.352
We should have a pretty good idea
00:02:42.352 --> 00:02:44.087
Of where this is all heading.
00:02:44.087 --> 00:02:45.788
Hamas will likely make demands an attempt to amend the deal,
00:02:45.788 --> 00:02:50.226
But trump and bibi are very unlikely to budge.
00:02:50.226 --> 00:02:53.796
In short, the plan calls for hamas to completely disarm
00:02:53.796 --> 00:02:58.034
And to hand over all remaining israeli hostages.
00:02:58.034 --> 00:03:01.537
It stipulates
00:03:01.537 --> 00:03:02.805
That israeli forces will retain a security perimeter in gaza,
00:03:02.805 --> 00:03:07.076
And that
00:03:07.076 --> 00:03:08.311
Hamas will never have a part in ruling gaza ever again, folks.
00:03:08.311 --> 00:03:11.914
In other words, whether hamas takes the deal or not,
00:03:11.914 --> 00:03:15.685
They're finished.
00:03:15.685 --> 00:03:16.919
All of the pressure is now on hamas, not israel.
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:21.291
It's yet another masterstroke by trump, and netanyahu
00:03:21.291 --> 00:03:25.094
Compared their partnership to two modern day
00:03:25.094 --> 00:03:28.298
Winston churchill's working side by side
00:03:28.298 --> 00:03:31.434
To transform the middle east and bring down iran's
00:03:31.434 --> 00:03:35.071
Empire of terror, which includes hamas.
00:03:35.071 --> 00:03:38.174
And, by the way, hamas officials, at least the few left
00:03:38.174 --> 00:03:42.512
Who haven't been eliminated by israel, are still boasting
00:03:42.512 --> 00:03:46.349
About their wicked deeds.
00:03:46.349 --> 00:03:48.051
On october 7th. watch this.
00:03:48.051 --> 00:04:11.808
This is a modern day nazi death cult that must be destroyed.
00:04:12.975 --> 00:04:17.647
And president trump's
00:04:17.647 --> 00:04:18.781
Plan ensures that will happen one way or the other.
00:04:18.781 --> 00:04:22.585
The end of the war in gaza could open up new opportunities
00:04:22.585 --> 00:04:26.189
To expand the abraham accords, peace treaties between
00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:29.826
Israel and its arab neighbors, chief among them saudi arabia.
00:04:29.826 --> 00:04:34.097
But none of this happens without peace.
00:04:34.097 --> 00:04:36.532
Through strength.
00:04:36.532 --> 00:04:37.900
As prime minister netanyahu told me
00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:39.502
During our recent interview in jerusalem.
00:04:39.502 --> 00:04:41.404
First comes strength, then comes peace.
00:04:41.404 --> 00:04:45.241
That's why secretary of war pete hegseth and president trump
00:04:45.241 --> 00:04:48.911
Held a meeting yesterday in quantico, virginia, that
00:04:48.911 --> 00:04:51.581
Included every united states general and admiral secretary.
00:04:51.581 --> 00:04:55.885
Hegseth made clear that the u.s.
00:04:55.885 --> 00:04:58.020
Military will once again
00:04:58.020 --> 00:04:59.555
Be focusing on fighting and winning wars,
00:04:59.555 --> 00:05:02.792
Not promoting radical left wing social experiments
00:05:02.792 --> 00:05:06.295
Like under joe biden. watch.
00:05:06.295 --> 00:05:09.332
This administration has done a great deal from day one
00:05:09.332 --> 00:05:12.668
To remove the social justice, politically correct
00:05:12.668 --> 00:05:15.705
And toxic ideological garbage that has infected our department
00:05:15.705 --> 00:05:19.742
To rip out the politics.
00:05:19.742 --> 00:05:23.479
No more identity.
00:05:23.913 --> 00:05:25.114
Months die, offices,
00:05:25.114 --> 00:05:28.284
Dudes in dresses,
00:05:28.284 --> 00:05:31.320
No more climate change worship.
00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:33.122
No more division, distraction or gender delusions.
00:05:33.122 --> 00:05:36.292
No more debris.
00:05:36.292 --> 00:05:37.827
Amen.
00:05:37.827 --> 00:05:39.028
Hegseth also emphasized that our warfighters and military
00:05:39.028 --> 00:05:42.231
Leaders are expected to be in top physical condition.
00:05:42.231 --> 00:05:46.502
Now, i know that our adversaries like russia, china,
00:05:46.502 --> 00:05:49.772
Iran and north korea cowered in fear
00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:53.009
At the sight of mighty admiral rachel levine
00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:56.179
And the other obese
00:05:56.179 --> 00:05:57.480
Cross-dressers that took leading roles in our military
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.483
During the biden years.
00:06:00.483 --> 00:06:01.918
But i think secretary hegseth may be on to something here.
00:06:01.918 --> 00:06:06.189
If the secretary of war can do regular hard pt,
00:06:06.189 --> 00:06:09.425
So can every member of our joint force.
00:06:10.193 --> 00:06:13.830
Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat
00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:16.432
Formations or really any formation and see fat troops.
00:06:16.432 --> 00:06:20.436
Likewise, it's completely unacceptable
00:06:21.270 --> 00:06:23.072
To see that generals and admirals
00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:24.707
In the halls of the pentagon
00:06:24.707 --> 00:06:26.442
And leading commands around the country and the world.
00:06:26.442 --> 00:06:28.311
It's a bad look.
00:06:28.311 --> 00:06:29.612
It is bad.
00:06:29.612 --> 00:06:30.513
And it's not who we are.
00:06:30.513 --> 00:06:32.748
So whether you're an airborne ranger or a born ranger
00:06:32.748 --> 00:06:36.152
Or a brand new private or a four star general,
00:06:36.152 --> 00:06:38.788
You need to meet the height
00:06:38.788 --> 00:06:39.956
And weight standards and pass the test.
00:06:39.956 --> 00:06:43.092
And as the chairman said, yes, there is no pt test.
00:06:43.092 --> 00:06:46.762
But today, at my direction, every member of the joint force
00:06:46.762 --> 00:06:49.799
At every rank is required to take a test twice a year, as
00:06:49.799 --> 00:06:54.971
Well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year.
00:06:54.971 --> 00:06:58.641
Every year of service.
00:06:59.108 --> 00:07:01.878
Warriors required to be in peak physical condition.
00:07:01.878 --> 00:07:05.681
Imagine that.
00:07:05.681 --> 00:07:07.083
Best of all, secretary haig seth ended his talk with a prayer.
00:07:07.083 --> 00:07:11.053
It was another indicator
00:07:11.053 --> 00:07:12.421
That it is a new day in washington, d.c.
00:07:12.421 --> 00:07:15.525
And next month,
00:07:15.525 --> 00:07:16.659
A mighty move of god is coming to our nation's capitol.
00:07:16.659 --> 00:07:19.829
As revival continued, use to stir.
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:22.665
We'll tell you all about it. after the break.
00:07:22.665 --> 00:07:33.001
We'll tell you all about it. after the break.
00:07:33.001 --> 00:07:35.346
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:07:36.114 --> 00:07:38.049
Communion america is coming
00:07:38.049 --> 00:07:40.051
To the national mall in washington, d.c.
00:07:40.051 --> 00:07:42.086
From october 9th to the 12th.
00:07:42.086 --> 00:07:44.455
It's a nationwide communion revival
00:07:44.455 --> 00:07:47.292
Centered on jesus, folks.
00:07:47.292 --> 00:07:49.394
This is a national revival you will want to be a part of.
00:07:49.394 --> 00:07:53.164
Take a look.
00:07:53.164 --> 00:08:03.608
God opened the door through the blood of jesus.
00:08:04.609 --> 00:08:08.980
For you and me to be able to come near to his manifest
00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:12.850
Presence and glory.
00:08:12.850 --> 00:08:14.319
Every single day.
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:20.358
Come to the table.
00:08:20.792 --> 00:08:22.026
Come with your shake.
00:08:22.026 --> 00:08:23.328
Your questions, your hunger and desire.
00:08:23.328 --> 00:08:26.097
Only jesus can change the hearts of generation.
00:08:26.097 --> 00:08:36.341
We are gathering on the national mall in washington, d.c.
00:08:37.442 --> 00:08:40.378
For four days in 50 tents of nonstop worship.
00:08:40.378 --> 00:08:44.949
One tent for every state with thousands of worshipers
00:08:44.949 --> 00:08:48.686
In prayer and gospel proclamation.
00:08:48.686 --> 00:08:51.923
On the final day, we will gather at a communion table
00:08:51.923 --> 00:08:55.860
The length of the entire national mall, because it's
00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:59.163
The blood of jesus and the presence of jesus.
00:08:59.163 --> 00:09:02.900
That shifts a generation.
00:09:02.900 --> 00:09:08.206
Amazing.
00:09:08.473 --> 00:09:09.440
David bradshaw
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.608
Is the founder of awaken the dawn, a national movement
00:09:10.608 --> 00:09:13.611
Mobilizing a new jesus revival across america.
00:09:13.611 --> 00:09:17.715
David, great to have you.
00:09:17.715 --> 00:09:19.217
Hey, tell us how god
00:09:19.217 --> 00:09:20.451
Put the vision for communion america on your heart.
00:09:20.451 --> 00:09:23.688
Well, thank you for having me.
00:09:24.288 --> 00:09:25.390
It's an honor to be here.
00:09:25.390 --> 00:09:26.824
And we are in just unprecedented times
00:09:26.824 --> 00:09:29.627
In so many ways in our nation.
00:09:29.627 --> 00:09:31.095
We never could have known
00:09:31.095 --> 00:09:32.597
The timing of what our nation would be experiencing
00:09:32.597 --> 00:09:36.401
When we felt led to schedule this event for four days,
00:09:36.401 --> 00:09:39.604
Right in the center of our nation's capital.
00:09:39.604 --> 00:09:41.739
And so this is a significant can't.
00:09:41.739 --> 00:09:43.808
This is a summons to the nation to gather around the body
00:09:43.808 --> 00:09:47.412
And the blood of christ.
00:09:47.412 --> 00:09:48.746
The gospel
00:09:48.746 --> 00:09:49.881
In the presence of god, which alone can shift our nation
00:09:49.881 --> 00:09:52.817
And bring great awakening.
00:09:52.817 --> 00:09:54.185
And so this event was something
00:09:54.185 --> 00:09:56.054
That we had done a similar event in 2017.
00:09:56.054 --> 00:10:00.558
We had 1700 worship teams
00:10:00.558 --> 00:10:02.994
In 2017 on the national mall and 58 tents.
00:10:02.994 --> 00:10:06.597
Nonstop worship outreach, gospel proclamation.
00:10:06.597 --> 00:10:10.635
But we really felt, in 2024,
00:10:10.635 --> 00:10:14.005
That god began to lead us again to return to the national mall.
00:10:14.005 --> 00:10:17.208
And i, i called a dear friend of mine
00:10:17.208 --> 00:10:19.444
Who works in washington, d.c., and he shared with me a vision.
00:10:19.444 --> 00:10:23.848
He said he was in a 5 a.m.
00:10:23.848 --> 00:10:25.183
Prayer meeting, and he was leading worship.
00:10:25.183 --> 00:10:27.952
And he saw in his mind's eye, in his heart,
00:10:27.952 --> 00:10:30.521
This vision of a communion table over a mile long,
00:10:30.521 --> 00:10:34.392
Stretching right in that center section of the national mall.
00:10:34.392 --> 00:10:37.795
And as he's seeing it in this prayer meeting, the man
00:10:37.795 --> 00:10:40.331
Across the room who had no idea says the exact same thing.
00:10:40.331 --> 00:10:44.869
He says, i see a vision right now of a communion table
00:10:44.869 --> 00:10:48.206
Stretching the length of the entire national mall.
00:10:48.206 --> 00:10:50.875
And he said it was like luke 24 on the road to emmaus,
00:10:50.875 --> 00:10:54.512
Where these two men walked with jesus and didn't recognize him.
00:10:54.512 --> 00:10:57.915
And then when he broke the bread, their eyes were open
00:10:57.915 --> 00:11:00.051
And he said, i believe at communion
00:11:00.051 --> 00:11:02.353
And in the presence of god.
00:11:02.353 --> 00:11:04.055
God wants to open the eyes of america to jesus.
00:11:04.055 --> 00:11:07.792
And so that set us on a journey.
00:11:07.792 --> 00:11:09.927
And there were dozens of confirmations.
00:11:09.927 --> 00:11:11.929
And we are convinced god's hand is on this moment
00:11:11.929 --> 00:11:15.399
To bring great awakening to our nation.
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.535
Yeah.
00:11:17.535 --> 00:11:17.969
David, a mile
00:11:17.969 --> 00:11:19.170
Long communion table stretching across the national mall.
00:11:19.170 --> 00:11:22.140
50 tents filled with nonstop worship.
00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:25.476
You've said this is a national tipping point
00:11:25.476 --> 00:11:27.478
Right now for the united states.
00:11:27.478 --> 00:11:29.147
What is the spiritual significance
00:11:29.147 --> 00:11:31.649
Of holding this event in america's political capital?
00:11:31.649 --> 00:11:34.452
Washington, d.c.?
00:11:34.452 --> 00:11:35.853
Well, we really believe that,
00:11:36.487 --> 00:11:37.789
You know, even the dna of the church.
00:11:37.789 --> 00:11:39.557
You think back to acts chapter one and two,
00:11:39.557 --> 00:11:42.193
That the day of pentecost, the birthday of the church,
00:11:42.193 --> 00:11:45.196
It was right there in jerusalem and it was in public.
00:11:45.196 --> 00:11:47.965
Our beginnings of the jesus movement
00:11:47.965 --> 00:11:50.968
Were in a public place at the center of the nation's capital.
00:11:50.968 --> 00:11:54.438
And i think it's just in our dna.
00:11:54.438 --> 00:11:56.240
I think we would call the body of christ across this nation
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.410
Right now as a time to convene in unity
00:11:59.410 --> 00:12:03.381
Around christ
00:12:03.381 --> 00:12:05.249
And see his presence, his glory in the body
00:12:05.249 --> 00:12:07.685
And blood of jesus literally fill our nation's capital.
00:12:07.685 --> 00:12:10.855
I believe god wants to bring lasting change
00:12:10.855 --> 00:12:14.625
And it's his presence in the body
00:12:14.625 --> 00:12:16.194
And blood of christ that bring change to our nation.
00:12:16.194 --> 00:12:18.563
So we want to go to the place of authority,
00:12:18.563 --> 00:12:20.865
Of government, of influence of culture, and get right down
00:12:20.865 --> 00:12:24.936
Into the public and say, jesus is worthy.
00:12:24.936 --> 00:12:28.206
Well said. david had about a minute left.
00:12:28.206 --> 00:12:30.174
Big takeaways here.
00:12:30.174 --> 00:12:31.442
Big picture goals for the event on the national mall coming up.
00:12:31.442 --> 00:12:35.279
Hey, just a few short weeks.
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.348
Yeah.
00:12:37.582 --> 00:12:38.549
We want to see the body of christ come together
00:12:38.549 --> 00:12:39.617
Across generational lines,
00:12:39.617 --> 00:12:41.252
Denominational lines, racial lines as one.
00:12:41.252 --> 00:12:43.921
Right now, a united church can heal a divided nation.
00:12:43.921 --> 00:12:47.692
And i believe in light of everything that's transpired.
00:12:47.692 --> 00:12:50.695
We want to see healing come to america.
00:12:50.695 --> 00:12:53.464
Evangelist, young evangelist are gathering and mass.
00:12:53.464 --> 00:12:57.501
And then we want to see this go to every university
00:12:57.501 --> 00:12:59.637
In the nation over the next year.
00:12:59.637 --> 00:13:01.739
Tables and tents of worship and gospel proclamation.
00:13:01.739 --> 00:13:04.976
So i believe it's a movement, not just an event.
00:13:04.976 --> 00:13:07.645
There's a great harvest out
00:13:07.645 --> 00:13:08.846
There, david, and the harvest is ripe.
00:13:08.846 --> 00:13:10.915
October 9th through the 12th.
00:13:10.915 --> 00:13:12.516
Folks in dc communion america, be sure to either
00:13:12.516 --> 00:13:15.820
Attend in person streaming online.
00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:17.989
It's going to be good. david bradshaw, thank you so much.
00:13:17.989 --> 00:13:20.491
God bless my friend.
00:13:20.491 --> 00:13:21.492
We'll see you in a little bit. october 9th.
00:13:21.492 --> 00:13:23.961
Take care. having me. absolutely.
00:13:23.961 --> 00:13:25.997
Coming up after the break.
00:13:25.997 --> 00:13:27.031
Hey, david just talked about this
00:13:27.031 --> 00:13:28.633
National revival we're seeing among young people.
00:13:28.633 --> 00:13:31.636
But what about young people?
00:13:31.636 --> 00:13:33.204
When it comes to israel, are there signs of slippage?
00:13:33.204 --> 00:13:37.141
We'll break it down.
00:13:37.608 --> 00:13:38.542
The top expert after the break. stick around.
00:13:38.542 --> 00:13:48.003
The top expert after the break. stick around.
00:13:48.003 --> 00:13:51.153
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:13:51.921 --> 00:13:53.789
Susan michael leads the international christian
00:13:53.789 --> 00:13:56.225
Embassy, jerusalem, usa, and organization
00:13:56.225 --> 00:13:59.295
On the front lines of christian support for israel
00:13:59.295 --> 00:14:02.765
With anti-semitic attacks rising.
00:14:02.765 --> 00:14:05.034
I sat down with susan to hear what's really happening,
00:14:05.034 --> 00:14:08.203
Who's wavering and what the church must do
00:14:08.203 --> 00:14:11.006
To stand firm.
00:14:11.006 --> 00:14:14.043
Susan.
00:14:14.043 --> 00:14:14.910
Michael, it is always great to see you.
00:14:14.910 --> 00:14:16.345
We are here in washington, d.c., at a very, i'd say, precarious
00:14:16.345 --> 00:14:19.782
Moment in terms of support for israel.
00:14:19.782 --> 00:14:23.118
Now we've got great support from the white house here in d.c.
00:14:23.118 --> 00:14:26.188
But susan, in the church, especially among younger
00:14:26.188 --> 00:14:29.658
Generations, we see that support going wobbly.
00:14:29.658 --> 00:14:33.162
That may be an understatement.
00:14:33.162 --> 00:14:34.496
Talk about that danger right now where younger generations,
00:14:34.496 --> 00:14:38.400
Perhaps in particular, including some even who are on
00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:41.403
The so-called right, are turning against israel.
00:14:41.403 --> 00:14:44.873
Well, we you know, we have so much support
00:14:44.873 --> 00:14:47.343
For israel
00:14:47.343 --> 00:14:48.510
Within the christian community here in the united states.
00:14:48.510 --> 00:14:51.347
But the message is, we cannot take it for granted
00:14:51.347 --> 00:14:54.383
Because as we do studies, we look at the younger generations.
00:14:54.383 --> 00:14:58.020
We see a dangerous trend
00:14:58.020 --> 00:15:00.289
Where is there is much less support
00:15:00.289 --> 00:15:02.257
For israel in the younger generation.
00:15:02.257 --> 00:15:03.892
And maybe some of that's normal,
00:15:03.892 --> 00:15:05.961
But it's being amplified by the impact of social media.
00:15:05.961 --> 00:15:10.866
There are so many dissident voices in social media.
00:15:10.866 --> 00:15:14.036
There's hatred, there are lies there.
00:15:14.036 --> 00:15:16.405
There's propaganda right out propaganda,
00:15:16.405 --> 00:15:18.807
Some of it coming right out of hamas
00:15:18.807 --> 00:15:20.709
In gaza, and it's circulating within seconds.
00:15:20.709 --> 00:15:23.746
And social media and our young people
00:15:23.746 --> 00:15:25.314
Are being bombarded by this.
00:15:25.314 --> 00:15:27.416
They don't have the historical context to be able
00:15:27.416 --> 00:15:31.520
To really rightly discern what's true and what's not.
00:15:31.520 --> 00:15:35.724
And so in our day, we have dangerous trends happening,
00:15:35.724 --> 00:15:40.462
But many of us are really doing everything that we can to begin
00:15:40.462 --> 00:15:44.700
To be more proactive and to reach out to that generation
00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:48.637
To provide what they need.
00:15:48.637 --> 00:15:50.472
They are looking for those trusted voices.
00:15:50.472 --> 00:15:53.275
You know, even today i look at the news,
00:15:53.275 --> 00:15:55.477
I don't know what i can believe.
00:15:55.477 --> 00:15:57.346
Videos can be doctored, photos can be doctored,
00:15:57.346 --> 00:16:00.349
They can even be from some other era
00:16:00.349 --> 00:16:02.551
And not what the person is saying that they are.
00:16:02.551 --> 00:16:05.454
So we have to find those trusted voices.
00:16:05.454 --> 00:16:08.223
And the international christian embassy,
00:16:08.223 --> 00:16:10.125
Jerusalem has been on the ground in israel for 45 years,
00:16:10.125 --> 00:16:13.796
And we've really established as a trusted voice.
00:16:13.796 --> 00:16:17.666
So now we need to reach that generation
00:16:17.666 --> 00:16:20.702
And give them the information they need.
00:16:20.702 --> 00:16:23.672
How big of a problem is the growth of replacement
00:16:23.672 --> 00:16:26.542
Theology, this concept that god has done with israel.
00:16:26.542 --> 00:16:30.079
He's done with the jewish people. they've been replaced.
00:16:30.079 --> 00:16:32.381
They're no longer part of his plan.
00:16:32.381 --> 00:16:33.982
That seems to
00:16:33.982 --> 00:16:35.184
Be catching on more and more, and at least some sectors
00:16:35.184 --> 00:16:38.287
Of the christian community.
00:16:38.287 --> 00:16:39.154
Well, it is it's growing.
00:16:39.154 --> 00:16:41.457
But there's also a large number of our pastors
00:16:41.457 --> 00:16:44.993
That they just were taught nothing about israel.
00:16:44.993 --> 00:16:48.263
So their replacement theology by default.
00:16:48.263 --> 00:16:51.867
And once you begin to actually show them in scripture
00:16:51.867 --> 00:16:55.537
That god's covenant with abraham
00:16:55.537 --> 00:16:57.172
Was everlasting, that his promises, his covenants
00:16:57.172 --> 00:17:01.143
Have not been given up on, they haven't been replaced.
00:17:01.143 --> 00:17:05.414
And they begin to see that.
00:17:05.414 --> 00:17:07.015
So the replacement theology, yes,
00:17:07.015 --> 00:17:10.752
A large void is even bigger than that.
00:17:10.752 --> 00:17:14.022
And what we found
00:17:14.022 --> 00:17:15.157
Is that many of our bible study program aims and tools,
00:17:15.157 --> 00:17:18.560
They just don't even mention israel.
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:20.896
And so we're also working on that.
00:17:20.896 --> 00:17:23.732
I wrote a book and counter the three day bible.
00:17:23.732 --> 00:17:26.602
How to read the bible so it comes to life.
00:17:26.602 --> 00:17:29.738
Well, how is that?
00:17:29.738 --> 00:17:31.006
That's when you understand israel.
00:17:31.006 --> 00:17:34.109
We call it the israel key.
00:17:34.109 --> 00:17:35.811
You know, you open a hallmark card and it pops up.
00:17:35.811 --> 00:17:38.981
That's what happens to your bible
00:17:38.981 --> 00:17:40.516
When you insert the israel piece.
00:17:40.516 --> 00:17:42.985
All of a sudden it's all connected.
00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:45.621
It makes sense. it comes alive.
00:17:45.621 --> 00:17:48.290
And so we want our young seminary students,
00:17:48.290 --> 00:17:51.927
Our bible students,
00:17:51.927 --> 00:17:53.829
To have those kinds of tools to combat replacement theology.
00:17:53.829 --> 00:17:58.800
Yeah, we're in a spiritual battle, susan.
00:17:58.800 --> 00:18:00.769
And increasingly,
00:18:00.769 --> 00:18:01.937
Israel is the dividing line in that spiritual battle.
00:18:01.937 --> 00:18:05.374
Speaking of which,
00:18:05.374 --> 00:18:06.742
I mentioned earlier,
00:18:06.742 --> 00:18:07.843
The white house, obviously very friendly to israel.
00:18:07.843 --> 00:18:10.646
Talk about that game change that president trump in office
00:18:10.646 --> 00:18:14.249
And with the scourge of anti-semitism growing,
00:18:14.249 --> 00:18:16.451
I think of leo
00:18:16.451 --> 00:18:17.686
Terrell, the point man at doj working against anti-semitism.
00:18:17.686 --> 00:18:21.256
Some good things happening.
00:18:21.256 --> 00:18:22.424
We're talking about, okay. warning signs for sure.
00:18:22.424 --> 00:18:24.826
And we need to be cognizant of that.
00:18:24.826 --> 00:18:26.395
But some great things happening as well.
00:18:26.395 --> 00:18:28.463
Well, when trump was elected, i told everyone,
00:18:28.463 --> 00:18:31.533
This is not the time to sit back and fold our hands
00:18:31.533 --> 00:18:34.603
And think that we can now relax.
00:18:34.603 --> 00:18:36.705
Now is the time
00:18:36.705 --> 00:18:37.673
To get the job done,
00:18:37.673 --> 00:18:38.707
And we can actually have make a lot of change
00:18:38.707 --> 00:18:41.643
Under this administration.
00:18:41.643 --> 00:18:43.212
So it's the same with combating anti-semitism.
00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:46.248
There's still a huge problem out there,
00:18:46.248 --> 00:18:48.917
And it does look like it's growing in some regards.
00:18:48.917 --> 00:18:52.187
But now is the time not to be intimidated by that,
00:18:52.187 --> 00:18:55.090
But to get to work.
00:18:55.090 --> 00:18:56.058
And i'm so excited to learn what all
00:18:56.058 --> 00:18:59.194
This administration is doing to combat anti-semitism.
00:18:59.194 --> 00:19:03.065
And leo terrell
00:19:03.065 --> 00:19:04.066
At the department of justice
00:19:04.066 --> 00:19:05.300
Is really one of the key players in that.
00:19:05.300 --> 00:19:08.503
And, but don't take it for granted.
00:19:08.503 --> 00:19:10.439
Don't think that they are going to be able to change america.
00:19:10.439 --> 00:19:13.542
We have to change america at the grassroots.
00:19:13.542 --> 00:19:16.378
Time to activate.
00:19:16.378 --> 00:19:17.346
And you're doing that.
00:19:17.346 --> 00:19:18.247
American christian leaders for israel,
00:19:18.247 --> 00:19:19.381
International christian embassy jerusalem.
00:19:19.381 --> 00:19:21.016
Susan, you've got some great events
00:19:21.016 --> 00:19:22.251
Planned the rest of 2025 going into 2026.
00:19:22.251 --> 00:19:25.320
And hey, great moment for israel.
00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:27.155
Can you talk?
00:19:27.155 --> 00:19:28.090
We're talking about the changing landscape
00:19:28.090 --> 00:19:29.258
In a lot of ways here.
00:19:29.258 --> 00:19:30.058
This nrb event
00:19:30.058 --> 00:19:31.460
Gathering here in washington, dc for christian media,
00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:34.196
For organizations like icj and american
00:19:34.196 --> 00:19:36.265
Christian leaders for israel.
00:19:36.265 --> 00:19:37.833
It's also a great changing, changing landscape for israel,
00:19:37.833 --> 00:19:41.203
For the nation of israel.
00:19:41.203 --> 00:19:42.337
That iranian ring of fire has largely been smashed.
00:19:42.337 --> 00:19:45.107
And it seems like in the world's most volatile region,
00:19:45.107 --> 00:19:47.943
We're heading towards some good days. perhaps.
00:19:47.943 --> 00:19:50.245
Maybe the abraham accords are back on the table.
00:19:50.245 --> 00:19:52.848
How do you see the region right now? well, that's our prayer.
00:19:52.848 --> 00:19:55.751
Our prayer is that this last two years, the conflicts,
00:19:55.751 --> 00:19:59.655
The wars are changing the face of the middle east.
00:19:59.655 --> 00:20:02.958
And so israel really has decimated
00:20:02.958 --> 00:20:05.961
A lot of the enemies, the ones that are not
00:20:05.961 --> 00:20:08.063
Just making trouble for israel, but even their own countries,
00:20:08.063 --> 00:20:11.166
Even the the more moderate sunni countries.
00:20:11.166 --> 00:20:14.503
So the region is going to be different.
00:20:14.503 --> 00:20:17.372
You know,
00:20:17.372 --> 00:20:18.307
You've heard the saying the best of times
00:20:18.307 --> 00:20:19.941
And the worst of times, and it looks like that's kind
00:20:19.941 --> 00:20:22.277
Of what we're living through right now.
00:20:22.277 --> 00:20:23.779
It really does look like the worst of times for israel.
00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:27.082
What they're up against.
00:20:27.082 --> 00:20:29.051
They may have been gaining military control,
00:20:29.051 --> 00:20:31.887
But they still don't have the hostages back,
00:20:31.887 --> 00:20:34.256
And they're losing the public relations battle.
00:20:34.256 --> 00:20:37.159
But the best of times
00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:38.327
Is what you and i are part of here in washington, dc.
00:20:38.327 --> 00:20:41.863
And with,
00:20:42.164 --> 00:20:43.131
The friendships
00:20:43.131 --> 00:20:43.865
That we have, the partnerships
00:20:43.865 --> 00:20:45.467
With the national religious broadcasters,
00:20:45.467 --> 00:20:48.003
Our american christian leaders for israel network
00:20:48.003 --> 00:20:51.173
Has never been more powerful than it is now.
00:20:51.173 --> 00:20:53.775
And these are christian leaders
00:20:53.775 --> 00:20:55.377
And networks of christian leaders
00:20:55.377 --> 00:20:57.879
That want to work together,
00:20:57.879 --> 00:21:00.115
Because together we have such greater impact.
00:21:00.115 --> 00:21:03.018
So i'm very, very hopeful for the future.
00:21:03.018 --> 00:21:05.687
But we do have a lot of work
00:21:05.687 --> 00:21:07.589
Still to do, but we're committed to finishing the job.
00:21:07.589 --> 00:21:10.826
Amen, susan.
00:21:10.826 --> 00:21:11.960
Well said as always. god bless. keep up the great work.
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:13.795
We appreciate it. thank you eric.
00:21:13.795 --> 00:21:16.264
Thanks again to susan michael for her great work.
00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:19.968
Folks.
00:21:19.968 --> 00:21:20.602
Coming up after the break,
00:21:20.602 --> 00:21:21.770
My final thoughts on god's message to israel's enemies.
00:21:21.770 --> 00:21:25.907
Are you listening? hamas?
00:21:25.907 --> 00:21:27.676
That's next.
00:21:27.676 --> 00:21:28.510
Don't move.
00:21:28.510 --> 00:21:35.002
Don't move.
00:21:35.002 --> 00:21:38.086
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:21:38.954 --> 00:21:40.622
As we wrap up here,
00:21:40.622 --> 00:21:41.590
Quick reminder if you'd like to know
00:21:41.590 --> 00:21:43.191
What's going on in israel
00:21:43.191 --> 00:21:44.893
And the middle east, the prophetic implications
00:21:44.893 --> 00:21:47.329
And how it impacts
00:21:47.329 --> 00:21:48.497

00:21:48.497 --> 00:21:51.867

So be sure to subscribe to our youtube channel.
00:22:17.626 --> 00:22:20.028
And when i think of the moment
00:22:20.028 --> 00:22:21.029
Israel is in right now vis-a-vis hamas,
00:22:21.029 --> 00:22:23.365
I think of psalm two, verses one through six.
00:22:23.365 --> 00:22:26.635
Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
00:22:26.635 --> 00:22:30.605
The kings of the earth rise up
00:22:30.605 --> 00:22:32.441
And the rulers band together against the lord and against his
00:22:32.441 --> 00:22:36.144
Anointed, saying,
00:22:36.144 --> 00:22:37.345
Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.
00:22:37.345 --> 00:22:40.315
The one enthroned in heaven laughs.
00:22:40.315 --> 00:22:42.250
The lord scoffs at them.
00:22:42.250 --> 00:22:43.652
He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies him in his wrath,
00:22:43.652 --> 00:22:46.822
Saying, i have installed my king on zion,
00:22:46.822 --> 00:22:50.158
My holy mountain that is king jesus.
00:22:50.158 --> 00:22:53.862
And i suggest that hamas take some notes and take the deal.
00:22:53.862 --> 00:22:58.233
Either way, the demise
00:22:58.233 --> 00:22:59.501
Of that bloodthirsty terror group is at hand.
00:22:59.501 --> 00:23:02.137
So thank god for that.
00:23:02.137 --> 00:23:04.306
Hey, tomorrow night, eric trump is here, folks.
00:23:04.306 --> 00:23:06.942

00:23:06.942 --> 00:23:08.643
Coming out called under siege.
00:23:08.643 --> 00:23:10.345
