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.

Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: December 17, 2024 | Stakelbeck Tonight | December 17, 2024
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.627 --> 00:00:05.062
- I'm erick stakelbeck and israel's enemies are on edge
- 00:00:05.062 --> 00:00:09.667
- After an earthquake struck the middle east on sunday.
- 00:00:09.667 --> 00:00:13.804
- Because the earthquake was not a natural disaster.
- 00:00:13.804 --> 00:00:17.741
- It was caused by a massive israeli bomb.
- 00:00:17.741 --> 00:00:21.745
- It's been dubbed the earthquake bomb after it caused a mini
- 00:00:21.745 --> 00:00:25.616
- Quake measuring over 3.0 on the richter scale
- 00:00:25.616 --> 00:00:30.321
- And created a huge mushroom cloud above
- 00:00:30.321 --> 00:00:33.357
- The syrian city of tartus, off the mediterranean coast.
- 00:00:33.357 --> 00:00:36.861
- These israeli airstrikes were the largest in syria since 2012.
- 00:00:36.861 --> 00:00:41.932
- They reportedly targeted military sites like air defense
- 00:00:41.932 --> 00:00:45.503
- And missile storage facilities used for advance based weaponry.
- 00:00:45.503 --> 00:00:49.640
- In just ten days, israel has now destroyed
- 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.010
- Some 80% of syria's military capabilities,
- 00:00:53.010 --> 00:00:56.947
- Including its air force, navy and chemical weapons stockpiles.
- 00:00:56.947 --> 00:01:01.719
- Now, israel has done this wisely to prevent those weapons
- 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.890
- From falling into the hands
- 00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:07.324
- Of islamic jihadists who recently overran syria
- 00:01:07.324 --> 00:01:11.195
- And overthrew the regime of bashar al-assad.
- 00:01:11.195 --> 00:01:14.932
- Needless to say, israel is not taking any chances.
- 00:01:14.932 --> 00:01:19.503
- That includes with iran's nuclear weapons program.
- 00:01:19.503 --> 00:01:23.941
- You can bet that the ayatollahs were watching
- 00:01:23.941 --> 00:01:26.810
- The earthquake bomb and its effects very closely.
- 00:01:26.810 --> 00:01:30.915
- Israel will very likely need to use heavy bombs like this
- 00:01:30.915 --> 00:01:35.352
- If it chooses to destroy iran's nuclear sites,
- 00:01:35.352 --> 00:01:39.023
- Which are scattered throughout that country
- 00:01:39.023 --> 00:01:41.091
- And in some cases buried deep underground.
- 00:01:41.091 --> 00:01:44.695
- Folks, i believe 2025 may very well be the year of reckoning
- 00:01:44.695 --> 00:01:49.800
- For iran's nuclear program for a few reasons.
- 00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:53.037
- Number one, iran's ring of fire has now collapsed.
- 00:01:53.037 --> 00:01:57.441
- Israel has smashed hamas and hezbollah.
- 00:01:57.441 --> 00:02:00.411
- Syria has fallen.
- 00:02:00.411 --> 00:02:01.912
- And now israel is set to strike the iran backed
- 00:02:01.912 --> 00:02:05.449
- Houthis in yemen.
- 00:02:05.449 --> 00:02:06.850
- Number two, on october 26th, israel destroyed
- 00:02:06.850 --> 00:02:10.854
- Iran's air defense systems with no ring of fire
- 00:02:10.854 --> 00:02:14.625
- And no air defenses to worry about.
- 00:02:14.625 --> 00:02:17.027
- Israel fighter jets now have a clear path to iran
- 00:02:17.027 --> 00:02:21.232
- And its nuclear sites.
- 00:02:21.232 --> 00:02:23.000
- Iran is reeling and it seems now may be a golden opportunity
- 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.172
- For israel to once and for all take out the iranian
- 00:02:28.172 --> 00:02:31.976
- Nuclear threat.
- 00:02:31.976 --> 00:02:33.177
- Which brings me to number three.
- 00:02:33.177 --> 00:02:35.913
- Donald trump is set to take office on january 20th,
- 00:02:35.913 --> 00:02:39.617
- And he is reportedly at least considering a strike on
- 00:02:39.617 --> 00:02:43.220
- Iran's nuclear program, although he would rather squeeze
- 00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:46.724
- Iran through economic pressure.
- 00:02:46.724 --> 00:02:48.892
- Either way, it's highly unlikely that trump would oppose
- 00:02:48.892 --> 00:02:52.830
- An israeli strike against iran, and he may even join in.
- 00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:57.001
- He's been having what are described
- 00:02:57.001 --> 00:02:58.736
- As very productive conversations with israeli prime
- 00:02:58.736 --> 00:03:02.172
- Minister benjamin netanyahu, including this past weekend.
- 00:03:02.172 --> 00:03:05.976
- But here's where it gets really interesting.
- 00:03:05.976 --> 00:03:08.746
- The iranian regime knows its back is against the wall
- 00:03:08.746 --> 00:03:12.116
- And that it's never been more vulnerable than it is right now.
- 00:03:12.116 --> 00:03:16.553
- Could iran's leaders rush to complete building a nuclear
- 00:03:16.553 --> 00:03:20.591
- Weapon as a way to stay in power and deter their enemies?
- 00:03:20.591 --> 00:03:25.029
- It's the north korea model.
- 00:03:25.029 --> 00:03:26.764
- Once kim jong un got the bomb, all talk of regime
- 00:03:26.764 --> 00:03:30.701
- Change there pretty much stopped for iran.
- 00:03:30.701 --> 00:03:34.305
- The bomb is the ultimate insurance policy.
- 00:03:34.305 --> 00:03:38.242
- I believe it could all come to a head in 2025.
- 00:03:38.242 --> 00:03:41.679
- But here's the good news.
- 00:03:41.679 --> 00:03:43.380
- Amid all the wars and rumors of war, israel
- 00:03:43.380 --> 00:03:46.617
- And the united states, in my view, are about to move
- 00:03:46.617 --> 00:03:49.620
- Into a new era of revival and resurgence.
- 00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:53.924
- But even more importantly,
- 00:03:53.924 --> 00:03:55.559
- God is moving among his people and in his land.
- 00:03:55.559 --> 00:03:59.296
- Miracles are happening.
- 00:03:59.296 --> 00:04:01.065
- Prophecy is being fulfilled.
- 00:04:01.065 --> 00:04:03.000
- And coming up, an israeli rabbi joins us with the inside story.
- 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:24.054
- The past 14 months
- 00:04:24.488 --> 00:04:26.123
- Have been among the darkest the jewish people have
- 00:04:26.123 --> 00:04:28.759
- Ever experienced. and that's saying something.
- 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.395
- But there are some very encouraging signs
- 00:04:31.395 --> 00:04:34.398
- That the tide is turning and that israel is about to step
- 00:04:34.398 --> 00:04:37.668
- Into an incredible new period of prosperity.
- 00:04:37.668 --> 00:04:40.871
- All while stepping into its prophetic destiny.
- 00:04:40.871 --> 00:04:43.707
- Rabbi pesach, maliki is following all this very closely.
- 00:04:43.707 --> 00:04:46.910
- He's executive director of the israel 365 action fund
- 00:04:46.910 --> 00:04:50.481
- And he joins us now in studio.
- 00:04:50.481 --> 00:04:52.116
- Always great to see you, my friend.
- 00:04:52.116 --> 00:04:53.584
- And, hey, you and i were talking before we started.
- 00:04:53.584 --> 00:04:55.853
- We were sitting here about a year ago.
- 00:04:55.853 --> 00:04:57.521
- And at that time it was such an uncertain time.
- 00:04:57.521 --> 00:04:59.957
- You had three of your children and one of your sons in law,
- 00:04:59.957 --> 00:05:03.227
- In the military, in the idf, fighting hamas,
- 00:05:03.227 --> 00:05:06.597
- War uncertainty and now, man.
- 00:05:06.597 --> 00:05:09.433
- Fast forward to a year later.
- 00:05:09.433 --> 00:05:11.135
- It's a far different picture now, rabbi, what do you think?
- 00:05:11.135 --> 00:05:14.471
- What do you see
- 00:05:14.471 --> 00:05:15.506
- As the state of play right now for israel
- 00:05:15.506 --> 00:05:18.075
- Regarding its enemies?
- 00:05:18.075 --> 00:05:20.177
- Well, eric, it is amazing that it was a it was a year ago.
- 00:05:20.177 --> 00:05:23.280
- And i remember that conversation and how uncertain
- 00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:26.417
- Everything felt.
- 00:05:26.417 --> 00:05:27.851
- But at the same time, look, we know the end of the story.
- 00:05:27.851 --> 00:05:31.622
- Yeah, the end of the big story.
- 00:05:31.622 --> 00:05:33.190
- And we know that the end of the story is good.
- 00:05:33.190 --> 00:05:35.692
- And, you know, israel still ranks among the highest
- 00:05:35.692 --> 00:05:38.729
- Nations in the world in happiness index, right? so.
- 00:05:38.729 --> 00:05:41.231
- So things are good in israel.
- 00:05:41.231 --> 00:05:43.133
- But in terms of the state of play
- 00:05:43.133 --> 00:05:44.435
- Where we are right now, look, the middle east is a lot
- 00:05:44.435 --> 00:05:47.271
- Less complicated than people think.
- 00:05:47.271 --> 00:05:49.206
- People think the middle east is this big mess.
- 00:05:49.206 --> 00:05:51.708
- The truth is
- 00:05:51.708 --> 00:05:52.943
- That almost every major problem in the middle east,
- 00:05:52.943 --> 00:05:55.679
- Major problem boils down to iran.
- 00:05:55.679 --> 00:05:57.748
- Now, we've always known
- 00:05:57.748 --> 00:05:58.882
- That you've talked about that ring of fire for years.
- 00:05:58.882 --> 00:06:02.052
- And if you remove
- 00:06:02.052 --> 00:06:04.288
- The iranians from the picture, what do you have left, really?
- 00:06:04.288 --> 00:06:07.591
- You have various terrorist groups.
- 00:06:07.591 --> 00:06:09.927
- The ones that just took over syria are worrisome.
- 00:06:09.927 --> 00:06:12.596
- These are no these are no zionists.
- 00:06:12.596 --> 00:06:14.832
- As much as we're happy that assad is gone,
- 00:06:14.832 --> 00:06:16.633
- They're not exactly friends of ours.
- 00:06:16.633 --> 00:06:18.535
- But you have you have bad actors,
- 00:06:18.535 --> 00:06:21.371
- But you don't have existential threats to israel
- 00:06:21.371 --> 00:06:24.441
- And you don't have really these major geopolitical threats.
- 00:06:24.441 --> 00:06:28.111
- I mean, of course the taliban are bad dudes.
- 00:06:28.111 --> 00:06:30.180
- And you have these these guys,
- 00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:31.682
- Like i said, who just took over syria
- 00:06:31.682 --> 00:06:33.116
- And what the muslim brotherhood is doing.
- 00:06:33.116 --> 00:06:34.952
- So we still have some problems.
- 00:06:34.952 --> 00:06:36.687
- But in the end of the day, right now, you see
- 00:06:36.687 --> 00:06:38.889
- Iran is on their back foot.
- 00:06:38.889 --> 00:06:40.724
- Hezbollah, what happened there was was miraculous,
- 00:06:40.724 --> 00:06:45.262
- Incredible. no exaggeration there was mirage.
- 00:06:45.262 --> 00:06:47.931
- That was the hand of god going ahead of the.
- 00:06:47.931 --> 00:06:49.533
- Incredible what happened there and what happened with hamas.
- 00:06:49.533 --> 00:06:53.337
- But there's one area that is potentially
- 00:06:53.337 --> 00:06:56.907
- The most difficult problem that israel faces
- 00:06:56.907 --> 00:06:59.376
- And potentially the most dangerous problem.
- 00:06:59.376 --> 00:07:01.612
- And that is what's going on right now in judea and samaria.
- 00:07:01.612 --> 00:07:04.281
- So as much as we are winning, israel is winning.
- 00:07:04.281 --> 00:07:07.284
- Our enemies are weaker.
- 00:07:07.284 --> 00:07:09.052
- Donald trump back in office is very helpful.
- 00:07:09.052 --> 00:07:11.755
- And we can talk more about that if you'd like.
- 00:07:11.755 --> 00:07:14.057
- But what's happening in judea and samaria is not
- 00:07:14.057 --> 00:07:16.693
- As much in the headlines,
- 00:07:16.693 --> 00:07:18.328
- But it really requires everyone's prayers
- 00:07:18.328 --> 00:07:20.030
- And it requires a lot of focus.
- 00:07:20.030 --> 00:07:21.532
- Tell us why that is.
- 00:07:21.532 --> 00:07:22.533
- First of all, the judea, a judea and samaria
- 00:07:22.533 --> 00:07:24.434
- Is the biblical heartland.
- 00:07:24.434 --> 00:07:25.903
- Rabbi the world calls the west bank
- 00:07:25.903 --> 00:07:28.105
- Here on stakelbeck tonight, we call it judea and samaria,
- 00:07:28.105 --> 00:07:30.507
- Because that's what the bible calls it.
- 00:07:30.507 --> 00:07:32.409
- Why is that so problematic right now?
- 00:07:32.409 --> 00:07:34.177
- Why are you so concerned
- 00:07:34.177 --> 00:07:35.345
- About what's unfolding in the biblical heartland?
- 00:07:35.345 --> 00:07:38.148
- Well, first of all, what's happening
- 00:07:38.148 --> 00:07:39.583
- On the ground as we speak is that
- 00:07:39.583 --> 00:07:41.652
- Especially in the northern part of judea and samaria, there are
- 00:07:41.652 --> 00:07:46.890
- There are whole cities
- 00:07:46.890 --> 00:07:48.992
- That are officially under the control
- 00:07:48.992 --> 00:07:50.961
- Of the palestinian authority, who is, again,
- 00:07:50.961 --> 00:07:53.397
- No friend of israel but they are the official peace partner.
- 00:07:53.397 --> 00:07:57.568
- They're the official government.
- 00:07:57.568 --> 00:07:58.702
- They get funding from the us government.
- 00:07:58.702 --> 00:08:01.605
- They didn't under trump, but they do now.
- 00:08:01.605 --> 00:08:03.307
- Led by mahmoud abbas and. led by mahmoud abbas.
- 00:08:03.307 --> 00:08:06.176
- And they are they are meant to be the stabilizing hand.
- 00:08:06.176 --> 00:08:09.713
- They're meant to be the people in charge.
- 00:08:09.713 --> 00:08:11.582
- Officially, they govern all of the
- 00:08:11.582 --> 00:08:14.952
- The the the areas that were given to the palestinians
- 00:08:14.952 --> 00:08:18.922
- In the oslo accords and the whole peace process.
- 00:08:18.922 --> 00:08:21.825
- But what a lot of people don't realize
- 00:08:21.825 --> 00:08:23.961
- Is that there are large sections of the areas that they are
- 00:08:23.961 --> 00:08:27.497
- Meant to govern that they have completely lost control of.
- 00:08:27.497 --> 00:08:30.934
- And they're and palestinian islamic jihad and hamas
- 00:08:30.934 --> 00:08:34.571
- Control everything.
- 00:08:34.571 --> 00:08:35.872
- And what you have right now
- 00:08:35.872 --> 00:08:37.407
- Is that the palestinian authority,
- 00:08:37.407 --> 00:08:39.142
- While coddling these people for years
- 00:08:39.142 --> 00:08:41.111
- Or ignoring them and letting them take over,
- 00:08:41.111 --> 00:08:43.413
- Are now
- 00:08:43.413 --> 00:08:44.615
- Afraid that they're going to lose all legitimacy at all
- 00:08:44.615 --> 00:08:47.851
- And they are now fighting each other.
- 00:08:47.851 --> 00:08:50.621
- Let me put it this way.
- 00:08:50.621 --> 00:08:51.321
- Let's let's keep things simple.
- 00:08:51.321 --> 00:08:52.956
- The terror infrastructure that we're familiar
- 00:08:52.956 --> 00:08:55.258
- With from gaza
- 00:08:55.258 --> 00:08:56.159
- That israel spent so much time dismantling
- 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.295
- And that so much of the world
- 00:08:58.295 --> 00:08:59.463
- Only found out about after october 7th.
- 00:08:59.463 --> 00:09:02.032
- There's a similar terrorist infrastructure in judea
- 00:09:02.032 --> 00:09:04.768
- And samaria.
- 00:09:04.768 --> 00:09:05.769
- Well, we haven't dealt with it.
- 00:09:05.769 --> 00:09:08.372
- And what makes it more complicated
- 00:09:08.372 --> 00:09:09.773
- Is that there's about
- 00:09:09.773 --> 00:09:10.741
- Half a million israeli jews living in towns
- 00:09:10.741 --> 00:09:14.277
- Scattered throughout judea and samaria.
- 00:09:14.277 --> 00:09:16.713
- That makes it a very difficult area.
- 00:09:16.713 --> 00:09:19.483
- The israeli
- 00:09:19.483 --> 00:09:20.751
- The israeli security cabinet has been meeting in recent days
- 00:09:20.751 --> 00:09:24.121
- Specifically about how to deal with this. wow.
- 00:09:24.121 --> 00:09:26.523
- And at the height of absurdity a few days ago,
- 00:09:26.523 --> 00:09:29.493
- The biden administration asked the israelis
- 00:09:29.493 --> 00:09:32.729
- To provide more weapons to the palestinian authority
- 00:09:32.729 --> 00:09:38.001
- To fight hamas and palestinian islamic jihad.
- 00:09:38.001 --> 00:09:40.370
- And that puts israel in a very tight spot. but.
- 00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:42.439
- But judea and samaria is an area
- 00:09:42.439 --> 00:09:43.940
- That we really have to be worried about.
- 00:09:43.940 --> 00:09:45.676
- That's a i'm so glad you brought this up, rabbi.
- 00:09:45.676 --> 00:09:47.811
- That's a front we will be watching, number one.
- 00:09:47.811 --> 00:09:49.980
- Number two,
- 00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:50.881
- It's an area near and dear to my heart,
- 00:09:50.881 --> 00:09:52.449
- The biblical heartland and near and dear to the heart of god.
- 00:09:52.449 --> 00:09:54.918
- Most importantly, you mentioned joe biden.
- 00:09:54.918 --> 00:09:57.187
- January 20th can't come soon enough.
- 00:09:57.187 --> 00:09:59.723
- We'll talk about the trump effect for israel.
- 00:09:59.723 --> 00:10:02.559
- What does donald trump taking office on january 20th
- 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.228
- Mean for the world's one and only jewish state?
- 00:10:05.228 --> 00:10:08.165
- More with rabbi pesach. we'll let you after the break.
- 00:10:08.165 --> 00:10:10.634
- Don't move.
- 00:10:10.634 --> 00:10:12.009
- Don't move.
- 00:10:12.009 --> 00:10:15.148
- Welcome back to break.
- 00:10:15.615 --> 00:10:17.017
- Tonight, we're talking to our good
- 00:10:17.017 --> 00:10:18.018
- Friend, rabbi pesach, wilkey
- 00:10:18.018 --> 00:10:19.619
- Executive director of the israel 365 action fund.
- 00:10:19.619 --> 00:10:23.490
- And rabbi, before the break, i mentioned the trump effect.
- 00:10:23.490 --> 00:10:26.626
- How about it?
- 00:10:26.626 --> 00:10:27.861
- The ascension of donald trump back to office january 20th,
- 00:10:27.861 --> 00:10:30.731
- He will be inaugurated.
- 00:10:30.731 --> 00:10:31.998
- What does that mean for israel?
- 00:10:31.998 --> 00:10:33.700
- And looking larger picture,
- 00:10:33.700 --> 00:10:35.736
- Do you think all this, what we see
- 00:10:35.736 --> 00:10:37.137
- Unfolding in america and israel right now
- 00:10:37.137 --> 00:10:39.406
- Has prophetic implications?
- 00:10:39.406 --> 00:10:41.608
- Oh, it certainly does.
- 00:10:41.608 --> 00:10:42.709
- Look, in jewish sources going back thousands of years,
- 00:10:42.709 --> 00:10:45.479
- There's a tradition
- 00:10:45.479 --> 00:10:46.480
- That the final battles will involve persia,
- 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.149
- That the kingdom of persia will threaten the world.
- 00:10:49.149 --> 00:10:51.017
- And this is modern day iran.
- 00:10:51.017 --> 00:10:52.252
- This is and this is in our in our rabbinic tradition,
- 00:10:52.252 --> 00:10:55.288
- Understanding, you know, how god's plan works out.
- 00:10:55.288 --> 00:10:58.125
- So there's there's nothing surprising
- 00:10:58.125 --> 00:10:59.693
- About the entire world
- 00:10:59.693 --> 00:11:00.961
- Focusing in on on the persians, on iran right now.
- 00:11:00.961 --> 00:11:04.598
- It's always
- 00:11:04.598 --> 00:11:05.832
- Been a source of of hostility to the jewish people, although
- 00:11:05.832 --> 00:11:08.168
- The iranian people today are actually quite pro-israel.
- 00:11:08.168 --> 00:11:10.837
- But so in the end of the day, that should work out well,
- 00:11:10.837 --> 00:11:14.374
- I really do believe and we talked about this last year
- 00:11:14.374 --> 00:11:17.244
- When i was here at the beginning of the war that that this is
- 00:11:17.244 --> 00:11:21.648
- This is the time we talked about that this is the war
- 00:11:21.648 --> 00:11:24.918
- That the bible talked about.
- 00:11:24.918 --> 00:11:26.353
- And the reason i say that confidently is that
- 00:11:26.353 --> 00:11:31.224
- If this isn't the war that the bible talked
- 00:11:31.224 --> 00:11:33.126
- About, the bible speaks,
- 00:11:33.126 --> 00:11:34.161
- Especially in the book of zachariah, about a time
- 00:11:34.161 --> 00:11:36.062
- When the nation of israel is back in our land
- 00:11:36.062 --> 00:11:38.598
- More numerous and more prosperous
- 00:11:38.598 --> 00:11:40.167
- Than our ancestors, in the words of deuteronomy.
- 00:11:40.167 --> 00:11:42.469
- And at that time, there are nations
- 00:11:42.469 --> 00:11:44.471
- Who who come against israel to try to prevent
- 00:11:44.471 --> 00:11:48.308
- The people of israel from living in their land there.
- 00:11:48.308 --> 00:11:50.310
- And there are many among the nations
- 00:11:50.310 --> 00:11:52.012
- Mentioned there in zachariah, two
- 00:11:52.012 --> 00:11:53.713
- Who join up with israel and stand with us.
- 00:11:53.713 --> 00:11:56.016
- That was something that never existed before the modern age.
- 00:11:56.016 --> 00:11:58.685
- The conditions
- 00:11:58.685 --> 00:12:00.921
- Spelled out in those prophecies
- 00:12:00.921 --> 00:12:03.490
- Exist now and they never existed before.
- 00:12:03.490 --> 00:12:06.459
- And the way i see it, how is this false?
- 00:12:06.459 --> 00:12:11.131
- If this isn't the war the bible talked about at the end,
- 00:12:11.131 --> 00:12:14.100
- Then all it means is that we're waiting
- 00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:15.368
- For another war that looks exactly like it. well,
- 00:12:15.368 --> 00:12:19.105
- Because that's what it is.
- 00:12:19.105 --> 00:12:19.873
- It's all the way.
- 00:12:19.873 --> 00:12:20.974
- It's a time when the nation of israel is returned
- 00:12:20.974 --> 00:12:23.677
- And it's a battle for whether or not the bible is true.
- 00:12:23.677 --> 00:12:27.914
- Yeah, because if if the bible is true,
- 00:12:27.914 --> 00:12:33.086
- The most repeated prophecy in the bible
- 00:12:33.086 --> 00:12:35.255
- Is that the nation of israel will go into a lengthy exile
- 00:12:35.255 --> 00:12:39.693
- And after being scattered
- 00:12:39.693 --> 00:12:40.894
- To the ends of the earth, will return to our land en masse
- 00:12:40.894 --> 00:12:44.130
- And rebuild ourselves as a nation.
- 00:12:44.130 --> 00:12:45.632
- The only nation that ever went into a lengthy exile and came
- 00:12:45.632 --> 00:12:48.668
- Back is the only one that god said would.
- 00:12:48.668 --> 00:12:53.240
- And those who stand against israel.
- 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.208
- If you believe that that prophecy is true,
- 00:12:55.208 --> 00:12:56.610
- Then then it's obvious that that's what israel is.
- 00:12:56.610 --> 00:12:59.379
- It's the fulfillment of that prophecy,
- 00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:00.647
- And therefore that those who stand against
- 00:13:00.647 --> 00:13:01.948
- Israel are standing against the fulfillment
- 00:13:01.948 --> 00:13:03.817
- Of the most repeated prophecy in the bible
- 00:13:03.817 --> 00:13:06.219
- When we speak about donald trump coming into office.
- 00:13:06.219 --> 00:13:08.588
- You know, when trump left office,
- 00:13:08.588 --> 00:13:12.692
- The iranians were broke.
- 00:13:12.692 --> 00:13:14.828
- They reportedly had only about $4 billion in cash reserves,
- 00:13:14.828 --> 00:13:17.731
- Which in national terms is nothing.
- 00:13:17.731 --> 00:13:20.166
- Yeah,
- 00:13:20.166 --> 00:13:21.368
- Trump had moved the embassy to jerusalem, aligning
- 00:13:21.368 --> 00:13:24.004
- American policy with king david, you know, with the bible
- 00:13:24.004 --> 00:13:28.508
- And the nations of the world
- 00:13:28.508 --> 00:13:31.211
- Were at peace in the middle east.
- 00:13:31.211 --> 00:13:33.179
- The abraham accords happened after the embassy move.
- 00:13:33.179 --> 00:13:35.882
- Think about that.
- 00:13:35.882 --> 00:13:36.883
- If before the embassy move, someone told you
- 00:13:36.883 --> 00:13:38.451
- Not only will the embassy move, not cause a big war,
- 00:13:38.451 --> 00:13:41.121
- Not only whether or not be outrage in the arab world,
- 00:13:41.121 --> 00:13:43.823
- There will be unprecedented peace treaties between
- 00:13:43.823 --> 00:13:46.059
- Muslim nations and israel after the embassy move.
- 00:13:46.059 --> 00:13:48.161
- So that was trump's policies.
- 00:13:48.161 --> 00:13:49.629
- Trump believes in peace through strength.
- 00:13:49.629 --> 00:13:51.698
- He says it all the time.
- 00:13:51.698 --> 00:13:54.034
- He he wants peace.
- 00:13:54.034 --> 00:13:55.335
- And here's the danger, though.
- 00:13:55.335 --> 00:13:57.837
- Trump wants peace.
- 00:13:57.837 --> 00:14:00.240
- If he comes into office and there's an active
- 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.008
- Kinetic war going on.
- 00:14:02.008 --> 00:14:03.376
- He wants to
- 00:14:03.376 --> 00:14:04.544
- He wants to get his people together, his security team,
- 00:14:04.544 --> 00:14:07.547
- Get the israelis in the room and say, guys,
- 00:14:07.547 --> 00:14:09.416
- How do we end this as quickly as possible?
- 00:14:09.416 --> 00:14:11.351
- And if that means here's this is my assessment,
- 00:14:11.351 --> 00:14:14.087
- If that means giving israel what it needs to win,
- 00:14:14.087 --> 00:14:17.891
- He's all in give israel what it needs to win.
- 00:14:17.891 --> 00:14:20.593
- But if there's no active kinetic war going on,
- 00:14:20.593 --> 00:14:24.464
- He doesn't want any flare ups.
- 00:14:24.464 --> 00:14:27.567
- And that's why i believe
- 00:14:27.567 --> 00:14:29.469
- The biden administration is behaving over
- 00:14:29.469 --> 00:14:31.538
- The last few weeks the way they have.
- 00:14:31.538 --> 00:14:33.139
- Now, here's what i mean.
- 00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:35.108
- Why are they escalating in ukraine
- 00:14:35.108 --> 00:14:38.044
- But trying to de-escalate and get a cease fire
- 00:14:38.044 --> 00:14:41.481
- Between israel and lebanon? yeah,
- 00:14:41.481 --> 00:14:44.617
- Because they want it to be quiet to save hezbollah.
- 00:14:44.617 --> 00:14:47.654
- Yeah, well, rabbi, we got to leave it there.
- 00:14:47.654 --> 00:14:49.990
- So much to unpack.
- 00:14:49.990 --> 00:14:51.057
- We didn't get to hanukkah, which starts next week.
- 00:14:51.057 --> 00:14:52.659
- Next week, by the way.
- 00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:53.860
- Rabbi pesach worthy. this was great, my friend.
- 00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:55.929
- Thank you, as always, for coming by.
- 00:14:55.929 --> 00:14:57.530
- Great insights and prayer points here.
- 00:14:57.530 --> 00:15:00.033
- Especially judea and samaria.
- 00:15:00.033 --> 00:15:01.968
- God bless my friend, rabbi pesach.
- 00:15:01.968 --> 00:15:03.503
- We'll let you check them out, folks.
- 00:15:03.503 --> 00:15:04.704
- The israel 365 action fund.
- 00:15:04.704 --> 00:15:06.806
- And as you just heard from rabbi wolpe,
- 00:15:06.806 --> 00:15:08.942
- God continues to reveal himself to the world in amazing ways,
- 00:15:08.942 --> 00:15:12.979
- Including through biblical archeology.
- 00:15:12.979 --> 00:15:16.082
- Israeli archeologists have uncovered
- 00:15:16.082 --> 00:15:17.650
- What some are saying
- 00:15:17.650 --> 00:15:18.852
- Is the most important discovery since the dead sea scrolls.
- 00:15:18.852 --> 00:15:22.889
- A good friend, danny the digger
- 00:15:22.889 --> 00:15:24.290
- Herman joins us next from israel
- 00:15:24.290 --> 00:15:26.459
- With the inside story of the megiddo mosaic.
- 00:15:26.459 --> 00:15:30.230
- Stick around.
- 00:15:30.230 --> 00:15:32.012
- Stick around.
- 00:15:32.012 --> 00:15:35.301
- It is
- 00:15:35.535 --> 00:15:36.703
- The oldest ever inscription identifying jesus as god.
- 00:15:36.703 --> 00:15:40.840
- The mosquito mosaic dates back to the year 2000.
- 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.778
- And it's now on display at the museum of the bible
- 00:15:44.778 --> 00:15:47.313
- In washington, d.c..
- 00:15:47.313 --> 00:15:48.848
- Our good friend, israeli archeologist
- 00:15:48.848 --> 00:15:50.884
- And master tour guide danny the digger herman says
- 00:15:50.884 --> 00:15:54.187
- It is one of the most important finds for christians ever.
- 00:15:54.187 --> 00:15:58.291
- And he joins us now from israel to break it down.
- 00:15:58.291 --> 00:16:00.627
- Danny, always great to see you, my friend.
- 00:16:00.627 --> 00:16:02.429
- And what a discovery this is.
- 00:16:02.429 --> 00:16:04.297
- You have said
- 00:16:04.297 --> 00:16:04.964
- This is one of
- 00:16:04.964 --> 00:16:06.166
- The most important discoveries since the dead sea scrolls.
- 00:16:06.166 --> 00:16:09.269
- Why is this such a big deal?
- 00:16:09.269 --> 00:16:12.772
- Yes, this was truly an extraordinary discovery
- 00:16:12.772 --> 00:16:15.809
- When it was made.
- 00:16:15.809 --> 00:16:17.210
- The discovery is not new.
- 00:16:17.210 --> 00:16:18.411
- It was made in 2006, but for many years
- 00:16:18.411 --> 00:16:21.748
- No one could see it because believe it or not, eric,
- 00:16:21.748 --> 00:16:24.951
- It was found in a prison.
- 00:16:24.951 --> 00:16:26.553
- It was found by chance when expanding a prison
- 00:16:26.553 --> 00:16:29.289
- Next to megiddo.
- 00:16:29.289 --> 00:16:31.091
- And it proved to be what's called a can of beer,
- 00:16:31.091 --> 00:16:34.527
- A civilian service area to
- 00:16:34.527 --> 00:16:37.130
- A roman legion headquarters.
- 00:16:37.130 --> 00:16:41.067
- We know that the
- 00:16:41.067 --> 00:16:42.001
- Sixth legion was stationed in that area,
- 00:16:42.001 --> 00:16:45.672
- And that section was some sort of a service area.
- 00:16:45.672 --> 00:16:49.609
- But this specific unit included 12 rooms,
- 00:16:49.609 --> 00:16:52.378
- And one of the rooms included a mosaic floor. wow.
- 00:16:52.378 --> 00:16:56.249
- And on the mosaic floor,
- 00:16:56.249 --> 00:16:57.817
- First thing you notice, too, intertwined fish
- 00:16:57.817 --> 00:17:02.188
- Fishery.
- 00:17:02.188 --> 00:17:03.022
- What can fish mean in christianity?
- 00:17:03.022 --> 00:17:06.559
- Fish has a lot of meaning.
- 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.827
- It's both a subject that appears a lot in the
- 00:17:07.827 --> 00:17:11.931
- Saying of jesus and his miracles,
- 00:17:11.931 --> 00:17:13.800
- But it's also a crypto graphic symbol for the name
- 00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:17.504
- Jesus because fish in greek is equally sinister,
- 00:17:17.504 --> 00:17:21.341
- As could be the acronym for ethos restore status
- 00:17:21.341 --> 00:17:24.744
- Or your sortir jesus, son of god savior.
- 00:17:24.744 --> 00:17:29.415
- So finding this alone was quite exciting.
- 00:17:29.415 --> 00:17:32.352
- But then the true shocking revelation
- 00:17:32.352 --> 00:17:36.122
- Was for inscriptions found in the floor
- 00:17:36.122 --> 00:17:39.792
- That were all dedications to members
- 00:17:39.792 --> 00:17:42.862
- Of a certain community living next to the sixth legion
- 00:17:42.862 --> 00:17:47.700
- In the third century.
- 00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:48.935
- And it all had to be
- 00:17:48.935 --> 00:17:50.503
- Late third century, but not into the fourth century
- 00:17:50.503 --> 00:17:53.706
- When christianity is legal for the simple reason
- 00:17:53.706 --> 00:17:56.142
- That by the late third century, the sixth legion was moved out
- 00:17:56.142 --> 00:17:59.279
- And the whole site was abandoned.
- 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.047
- So clearly, before
- 00:18:01.047 --> 00:18:03.783
- Believing in jesus is legal in the roman empire.
- 00:18:03.783 --> 00:18:07.187
- Yeah, your descendant, anyone was going to that room.
- 00:18:07.187 --> 00:18:10.390
- Participating in liturgy in those days was risking his life.
- 00:18:10.390 --> 00:18:15.628
- So many christians were put to death in those days,
- 00:18:15.628 --> 00:18:18.531
- Especially those serving in the army.
- 00:18:18.531 --> 00:18:20.567
- At the same time,
- 00:18:20.567 --> 00:18:22.335
- They were risking their lives for believing in jesus.
- 00:18:22.335 --> 00:18:25.471
- And we know of quite a few saints that became martyrs
- 00:18:25.471 --> 00:18:28.708
- Saints because of this, like saint george
- 00:18:28.708 --> 00:18:32.111
- Bacchus in
- 00:18:32.111 --> 00:18:35.381
- In that use i forget the other name, the photo market research.
- 00:18:35.381 --> 00:18:39.118
- There are quite a few stories of
- 00:18:39.118 --> 00:18:41.654
- Soldiers that were put to death because of their faith
- 00:18:41.654 --> 00:18:44.557
- And in this room we find four inscriptions, yet
- 00:18:44.557 --> 00:18:47.727
- One of them, and that was for me personally.
- 00:18:47.727 --> 00:18:50.496
- The most exciting one was of a man
- 00:18:50.496 --> 00:18:53.600
- Who also gave money for this early christian prayer hall.
- 00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:57.403
- They don't call it a church, by the way, because churches
- 00:18:57.403 --> 00:19:00.473
- Appear only as religion
- 00:19:00.473 --> 00:19:03.309
- When christianity is a religion is legal in the fourth century.
- 00:19:03.309 --> 00:19:06.312
- Before that they are illegal assembly places or what is known
- 00:19:06.312 --> 00:19:10.483
- As literature
- 00:19:10.483 --> 00:19:11.584
- As a domas ecclesia, a house of assembly for prayer.
- 00:19:11.584 --> 00:19:16.022
- And the
- 00:19:16.022 --> 00:19:16.990
- Man who is presented in the other inscription
- 00:19:16.990 --> 00:19:20.093
- His name is gallienus, also called for fair use.
- 00:19:20.093 --> 00:19:24.163
- Stentorian,
- 00:19:24.163 --> 00:19:26.933
- You understand, eric, this guy was actually an officer
- 00:19:26.933 --> 00:19:31.104
- In the roman army serving probably in the sixth legion
- 00:19:31.104 --> 00:19:34.741
- Camp next door and secretly or semi secretly,
- 00:19:34.741 --> 00:19:38.278
- He was going to attend services to praise jesus.
- 00:19:38.278 --> 00:19:41.614
- Risking his life and.
- 00:19:41.614 --> 00:19:42.715
- The risking his life, in my opinion, big time.
- 00:19:42.715 --> 00:19:46.286
- Christians openly professing their faith in jesus.
- 00:19:46.286 --> 00:19:50.123
- They could be tortured,
- 00:19:50.123 --> 00:19:51.391
- Imprisoned, even killed right back then.
- 00:19:51.391 --> 00:19:55.395
- Especially if your commission heard of such a person,
- 00:19:55.395 --> 00:19:58.598
- He could have been put to death, maybe even died.
- 00:19:58.598 --> 00:20:01.634
- We just don't know. we just don't know.
- 00:20:01.634 --> 00:20:04.103
- But it's quite amazing that we can find
- 00:20:04.103 --> 00:20:06.606
- Archeological evidence for a christian prayer hold
- 00:20:06.606 --> 00:20:09.208
- Before constantine legalizes christian faith.
- 00:20:09.208 --> 00:20:13.813
- Yeah,
- 00:20:13.813 --> 00:20:14.947
- But the most famous inscription is the one that reads
- 00:20:14.947 --> 00:20:17.583
- The following. the god love in a cactus.
- 00:20:17.583 --> 00:20:20.219
- The cactus is another name of a woman as offered the table.
- 00:20:20.219 --> 00:20:25.425
- The table in the meaning of the the altar, the central prayer
- 00:20:25.425 --> 00:20:29.829
- Architectural piece and then it says in initials
- 00:20:29.829 --> 00:20:34.133
- To to your oyo christi,
- 00:20:34.133 --> 00:20:37.236
- Which i read is god, the son of christ.
- 00:20:37.236 --> 00:20:42.241
- Okay. to jesus, son of god.
- 00:20:42.241 --> 00:20:44.243
- But some suggest that to oyo means the word
- 00:20:44.243 --> 00:20:47.080
- Jesus itself, which means it reads god.
- 00:20:47.080 --> 00:20:51.217
- Jesus christ.
- 00:20:51.217 --> 00:20:52.852
- Which is a very interesting theological declaration
- 00:20:52.852 --> 00:20:57.390
- That suggests that they quoted jesus with god at that time.
- 00:20:57.390 --> 00:21:01.894
- Any way you look at it,
- 00:21:01.894 --> 00:21:03.696
- These are early christians that are spreading the faith,
- 00:21:03.696 --> 00:21:06.899
- That are following the belief of jesus as the messiah.
- 00:21:06.899 --> 00:21:09.936
- Overall, it's forbidden and they're taking a risk.
- 00:21:09.936 --> 00:21:13.473
- They could be killed, they could be tortured
- 00:21:13.473 --> 00:21:15.675
- To death for this. but they persisted.
- 00:21:15.675 --> 00:21:18.211
- They christianity eventually prevailed.
- 00:21:18.211 --> 00:21:20.446
- Exciting things are happening
- 00:21:20.446 --> 00:21:21.914
- In the archeological world, and it seems
- 00:21:21.914 --> 00:21:24.317
- That god is revealing himself through this archeology.
- 00:21:24.317 --> 00:21:27.687
- And you are giving us a front row seat to it.
- 00:21:27.687 --> 00:21:29.922

- Danny and i will be

- My final thoughts coming up
- 00:22:09.996 --> 00:22:11.697
- On why what's happening in israel matters
- 00:22:11.697 --> 00:22:13.866

- 00:22:13.866 --> 00:22:15.668

- And god says we as followers of jesus will be a part of it.
- 00:22:51.873 --> 00:22:55.343
- Isaiah 56, verse seven
- 00:22:55.343 --> 00:22:57.312
- I will bring them to my holy mountain of jerusalem.
- 00:22:57.312 --> 00:22:59.848
- That's non-jewish believers.
- 00:22:59.848 --> 00:23:01.616
- And god
- 00:23:01.616 --> 00:23:02.851
- Says he will fill all of us with joy in his house of prayer.
- 00:23:02.851 --> 00:23:06.087
