  • The barbarians are not just at the gates, they are inside them.
  • 00:00:24.514 --> 00:00:29.853
  • Two major incidents
  • 00:00:29.853 --> 00:00:31.054
  • Over the thanksgiving holiday involving afghan refugees
  • 00:00:31.054 --> 00:00:34.090
  • Who entered the united states under the biden administration.
  • 00:00:34.090 --> 00:00:37.794
  • First, on november 26th, two national guard members
  • 00:00:37.794 --> 00:00:41.564
  • Were ambushed and shot by an afghan national
  • 00:00:41.564 --> 00:00:44.634
  • In washington, d.c., only blocks from the white house.
  • 00:00:44.634 --> 00:00:48.171
  • Sarah backstrom, just 20 years old, died from her wounds,
  • 00:00:48.171 --> 00:00:52.108
  • While 24 year old andrew wolf suffered critical injuries.
  • 00:00:52.108 --> 00:00:56.079
  • Here's more from president trump.
  • 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.780
  • He spoke into the interview.
  • 00:00:57.780 --> 00:00:59.315
  • Can you give us an update?
  • 00:00:59.315 --> 00:01:00.283
  • I have spoken to both families.
  • 00:01:00.283 --> 00:01:03.653
  • Well, i mean, i can give you an update.
  • 00:01:03.653 --> 00:01:05.522
  • Devastated. does that make sense to you?
  • 00:01:05.522 --> 00:01:07.724
  • Is that devastating?
  • 00:01:07.724 --> 00:01:09.092
  • Give us an update on the injuries as well.
  • 00:01:09.092 --> 00:01:11.261
  • As you know, the one is no longer with us
  • 00:01:11.261 --> 00:01:14.330
  • And andrew is fighting for his life
  • 00:01:14.330 --> 00:01:17.600
  • And that his parents are unbelievably
  • 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:20.770
  • Great people, highly religious people.
  • 00:01:20.770 --> 00:01:23.373
  • And they're praying and they want everybody
  • 00:01:23.373 --> 00:01:25.175
  • To pray for andrew, and he has a chance to make it.
  • 00:01:25.175 --> 00:01:29.078
  • But he is i mean, his mother and father.
  • 00:01:29.078 --> 00:01:32.282
  • They were so unbelievable.
  • 00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:34.951
  • They were so positive from west virginia, great state.
  • 00:01:34.951 --> 00:01:38.855
  • I spoke with sarah very soon.
  • 00:01:39.489 --> 00:01:42.959
  • The only thing i can say, they were devastated.
  • 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.261
  • Do you believe they can't even believe it did happen?
  • 00:01:45.261 --> 00:01:49.165
  • Folks, please pray for andrew wolf's recovery
  • 00:01:49.165 --> 00:01:52.035
  • And for the family of sarah backstrom.
  • 00:01:52.035 --> 00:01:54.437
  • They were victims of an act of pure demonic evil carried out
  • 00:01:54.437 --> 00:01:58.575
  • By a former afghan commando named rahman allah lock.
  • 00:01:58.575 --> 00:02:02.245
  • And while he reportedly worked with the u.s.
  • 00:02:02.245 --> 00:02:04.614
  • Government in afghanistan and was granted asylum
  • 00:02:04.614 --> 00:02:07.917
  • In our country in 2021 by the biden administration.
  • 00:02:07.917 --> 00:02:12.689
  • He was one of close to 100,000 afghan muslims
  • 00:02:12.689 --> 00:02:16.859
  • Who were brought to the u.s.
  • 00:02:16.859 --> 00:02:18.494
  • By joe
  • 00:02:18.494 --> 00:02:19.696
  • Biden after his disastrous and shameful withdrawal of u.s.
  • 00:02:19.696 --> 00:02:23.066
  • Forces from afghanistan, hastily importing
  • 00:02:23.066 --> 00:02:26.536
  • A large number of muslims with minimal vetting
  • 00:02:26.536 --> 00:02:29.806
  • From a very third world country that has a long history
  • 00:02:29.806 --> 00:02:33.710
  • Of radical islam and terrorism, does not seem very wise.
  • 00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:37.981
  • But remember,
  • 00:02:38.348 --> 00:02:39.315
  • We are talking about the biden administration,
  • 00:02:39.315 --> 00:02:41.251
  • Where wisdom was in very short supply.
  • 00:02:41.251 --> 00:02:44.053
  • Here's more from homeland security secretary kristi noem.
  • 00:02:44.053 --> 00:02:46.789
  • When this,
  • 00:02:46.789 --> 00:02:48.091
  • Abandonment of afghanistan happened,
  • 00:02:48.891 --> 00:02:51.361
  • The biden administration
  • 00:02:51.361 --> 00:02:52.662
  • Put people on airplanes, brought them
  • 00:02:52.662 --> 00:02:54.597
  • To the united states without vetting them.
  • 00:02:54.597 --> 00:02:57.033
  • They brought them into our country
  • 00:02:57.033 --> 00:02:58.768
  • And then said they would vet them afterwards.
  • 00:02:58.768 --> 00:03:00.837
  • And then at that time, to do a good job of vetting people.
  • 00:03:00.837 --> 00:03:03.840
  • You need to have
  • 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.041
  • Cooperation of that government that is from their country.
  • 00:03:05.041 --> 00:03:08.311
  • You have to have a stable government
  • 00:03:08.311 --> 00:03:09.746
  • That will give you information,
  • 00:03:09.746 --> 00:03:10.980
  • Contacts, background information, and
  • 00:03:10.980 --> 00:03:15.018
  • Biometrics that you may need to identify that individual,
  • 00:03:15.018 --> 00:03:17.920
  • Their dates of service.
  • 00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:19.088
  • All of that vetting information was collected by joe
  • 00:03:19.088 --> 00:03:21.991
  • Biden's administration.
  • 00:03:21.991 --> 00:03:23.426
  • That was used and in the process.
  • 00:03:23.426 --> 00:03:25.061
  • So president trump, thankfully, has completely changed that.
  • 00:03:25.061 --> 00:03:28.831
  • We are now using all social media content.
  • 00:03:28.831 --> 00:03:31.701
  • We're going
  • 00:03:31.701 --> 00:03:32.802
  • After what they have been doing with their contacts,
  • 00:03:32.802 --> 00:03:35.772
  • Their biometric data, information we are collecting
  • 00:03:35.772 --> 00:03:38.741
  • Now. when we vet individuals under this administration,
  • 00:03:38.741 --> 00:03:41.778
  • We know who they are, why they are here
  • 00:03:41.778 --> 00:03:44.047
  • And going through that.
  • 00:03:44.047 --> 00:03:45.248
  • Unfortunately, this individual,
  • 00:03:45.248 --> 00:03:47.016
  • That entire process happened under joe biden's watch.
  • 00:03:47.016 --> 00:03:50.386
  • Yes. the biden crew really was that reckless
  • 00:03:51.287 --> 00:03:54.490
  • With our national security, as if opening our borders
  • 00:03:54.490 --> 00:03:58.361
  • And allowing up to 20 million people
  • 00:03:58.361 --> 00:04:00.630
  • To flow into our country illegally wasn't bad enough.
  • 00:04:00.630 --> 00:04:04.467
  • Which brings us to part two of our thanksgiving wake-up call.
  • 00:04:04.467 --> 00:04:08.271
  • Just days after the terror attack in d.c., we learned that
  • 00:04:08.271 --> 00:04:12.175
  • Another afghan national had been arrested
  • 00:04:12.175 --> 00:04:14.677
  • For threatening to blow up a building in the fort worth,
  • 00:04:14.677 --> 00:04:17.780
  • Texas area not far from where i am standing right now.
  • 00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:21.250
  • Mohammed dawood alo cozy came here in 2021 under,
  • 00:04:21.250 --> 00:04:25.555
  • You guessed it, joe biden as part of operation allies.
  • 00:04:25.555 --> 00:04:30.026
  • Welcome.
  • 00:04:30.026 --> 00:04:30.927
  • Apparently, jihadis were also welcome.
  • 00:04:30.927 --> 00:04:33.463
  • That's why president trump just announced
  • 00:04:33.463 --> 00:04:35.498
  • That he is banning all third world immigration.
  • 00:04:35.498 --> 00:04:38.901
  • He wrote on truth social quote
  • 00:04:38.901 --> 00:04:40.870
  • I will permanently pause migration
  • 00:04:40.870 --> 00:04:43.072
  • From all third world countries to allow the u.s.
  • 00:04:43.072 --> 00:04:45.875
  • System to fully recover, terminate
  • 00:04:45.875 --> 00:04:48.644
  • All of the millions of biden illegal admissions,
  • 00:04:48.644 --> 00:04:51.280
  • Including those signed by sleepy joe biden's auto pen and
  • 00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:55.118
  • Remove anyone who is not a net asset to the united states
  • 00:04:55.118 --> 00:04:58.921
  • Or is incapable of loving our country.
  • 00:04:58.921 --> 00:05:01.891
  • Only reverse migration can fully cure this situation.
  • 00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:06.095
  • And that starts with halting folks, all asylum decisions,
  • 00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:10.032
  • And a pause on issuing visas for anyone
  • 00:05:10.032 --> 00:05:12.835
  • With an afghan passport.
  • 00:05:12.835 --> 00:05:14.570
  • In other words, trump is cleaning up biden's mess.
  • 00:05:14.570 --> 00:05:18.274
  • Here's more from the president.
  • 00:05:18.274 --> 00:05:20.143
  • The people
  • 00:05:20.143 --> 00:05:21.277
  • From different countries that are not friendly to us,
  • 00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:23.913
  • And countries that are out of control themselves.
  • 00:05:23.913 --> 00:05:26.682
  • Countries like somalia that have virtually
  • 00:05:26.682 --> 00:05:28.885
  • No government, no military,
  • 00:05:28.885 --> 00:05:30.686
  • No political leaders go around killing each other.
  • 00:05:30.686 --> 00:05:33.022
  • But then they come into our country
  • 00:05:33.022 --> 00:05:34.457
  • And tell us how to run our country. we don't want that.
  • 00:05:34.457 --> 00:05:37.326
  • I'm like somalia, where you have a capitalism
  • 00:05:38.294 --> 00:05:40.363
  • That goes around
  • 00:05:40.363 --> 00:05:41.497
  • Telling everybody about our constitution,
  • 00:05:41.497 --> 00:05:44.300
  • Yet supposedly keeping to our country.
  • 00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:46.436
  • My brother.
  • 00:05:46.436 --> 00:05:49.672
  • Now he's talking
  • 00:05:49.672 --> 00:05:50.773
  • About minnesota's democrat congresswoman ilhan omar,
  • 00:05:50.773 --> 00:05:54.710
  • Who is a member of the radical left wing islam friendly
  • 00:05:54.710 --> 00:05:57.947
  • Faction in congress known as the squad.
  • 00:05:57.947 --> 00:06:01.050
  • Omar isn't very fond of israel, and she doesn't seem too
  • 00:06:01.050 --> 00:06:04.921
  • Fond of america either.
  • 00:06:04.921 --> 00:06:06.322
  • Even though she's lived here now for 30 years.
  • 00:06:06.322 --> 00:06:09.058
  • But man, she loves somalia, which, like afghanistan,
  • 00:06:09.058 --> 00:06:12.728
  • Is a hotbed of radical islam, terror and chaos.
  • 00:06:12.728 --> 00:06:16.966
  • Here was omar recently pledging allegiance
  • 00:06:16.966 --> 00:06:19.202
  • To the president of her former country.
  • 00:06:19.202 --> 00:06:50.399
  • How sweet folks.
  • 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.101
  • Again that was minneapolis, not mogadishu.
  • 00:06:52.101 --> 00:06:55.505
  • There are close to 200,000 somalis now living in america
  • 00:06:55.505 --> 00:06:59.375
  • In places like minneapolis, seattle,
  • 00:06:59.375 --> 00:07:01.811
  • Columbus, ohio, and even lewiston, maine.
  • 00:07:01.811 --> 00:07:04.814
  • And how is this grand left wing social experiment working out?
  • 00:07:04.814 --> 00:07:09.185
  • Well, we've seen dozens of somali
  • 00:07:09.185 --> 00:07:11.053
  • Americans return to their homeland to join terror groups.
  • 00:07:11.053 --> 00:07:14.490
  • And there is now a major fraud scandal in minnesota
  • 00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:17.927
  • Involving somali immigrants siphoning money away from food,
  • 00:07:17.927 --> 00:07:22.265
  • Welfare and social services programs.
  • 00:07:22.265 --> 00:07:25.601
  • Gee, maybe importing large numbers of muslims
  • 00:07:25.601 --> 00:07:29.205
  • From places like afghanistan and somalia
  • 00:07:29.205 --> 00:07:31.941
  • That are directly opposed to everything judeo
  • 00:07:31.941 --> 00:07:35.478
  • Christian civilization stands for?
  • 00:07:35.478 --> 00:07:37.613
  • Wasn't such a great idea.
  • 00:07:37.613 --> 00:07:39.482
  • And now president trump is left to clean up the immigration
  • 00:07:39.482 --> 00:07:42.385
  • Mess left to him by his predecessors.
  • 00:07:42.385 --> 00:07:45.621
  • He and his team are absolutely up to the job, thank god,
  • 00:07:45.621 --> 00:07:49.158
  • And they're already making moves to correct the madness.
  • 00:07:49.158 --> 00:07:52.728
  • Our thanksgiving wake-up call gave them even more motivation
  • 00:07:52.728 --> 00:07:56.799
  • To make america safe again.
  • 00:07:56.799 --> 00:07:59.502
  • Part of that is having a strong foreign policy and solid
  • 00:07:59.502 --> 00:08:03.673
  • Relations with friendly nations like israel.
  • 00:08:03.673 --> 00:08:06.776
  • Up next,
  • 00:08:06.776 --> 00:08:07.610
  • We'll tell you about an upcoming event
  • 00:08:07.610 --> 00:08:08.978
  • That will make all of the right people like chinese,
  • 00:08:08.978 --> 00:08:12.348
  • Communist and radical islamists very unhappy.
  • 00:08:12.348 --> 00:08:16.152
  • That's next. stick around.
  • 00:08:16.152 --> 00:08:20.003
  • That's next. stick around.
  • 00:08:20.003 --> 00:08:22.591
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, as anti-semitism
  • 00:08:23.658 --> 00:08:26.962
  • Surges to levels we have not seen in generations,
  • 00:08:26.962 --> 00:08:30.131
  • From the streets of europe to college campuses in america.
  • 00:08:30.131 --> 00:08:33.535
  • One global movement is uniting christians and jews
  • 00:08:33.535 --> 00:08:37.138
  • To stand together for israel and for the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:08:37.138 --> 00:08:41.276

  • A worldwide initiative that gathers
  • 00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:47.215
  • Christian and jewish

  • Leaders, pastors, government officials and believers to pray
  • 00:08:48.450 --> 00:08:52.020
  • For jerusalem
  • 00:08:52.020 --> 00:08:53.154
  • And strengthen the bond between israel and the nations.
  • 00:08:53.154 --> 00:08:56.691
  • The jerusalem prayer breakfast is heading to taiwan
  • 00:08:56.691 --> 00:08:59.594
  • For an historic gathering in the capital city of taipei

  • 00:09:09.871 --> 00:09:11.773
  • Taiwan. this is a very big deal.
  • 00:09:11.773 --> 00:09:14.509
  • Obviously, the communist regime in beijing
  • 00:09:14.509 --> 00:09:16.711
  • Is constantly threatening taiwan.
  • 00:09:16.711 --> 00:09:18.980
  • Albert, why did you decide to hold
  • 00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:20.715
  • The jerusalem prayer breakfast? there?
  • 00:09:20.715 --> 00:09:23.752
  • You see, erick,
  • 00:09:24.119 --> 00:09:25.353
  • We always go when we have an invitation.
  • 00:09:25.353 --> 00:09:28.790
  • And so it's,
  • 00:09:28.790 --> 00:09:31.893
  • A depending from the local initiatives.
  • 00:09:31.893 --> 00:09:36.197
  • And actually, when we were in lago,
  • 00:09:36.197 --> 00:09:39.334
  • This january 2025,
  • 00:09:39.334 --> 00:09:42.504
  • We had people from taiwan and they got so excited about
  • 00:09:42.504 --> 00:09:46.041
  • The prayer breakfast and what it is, involving and how,
  • 00:09:46.041 --> 00:09:50.245
  • It has been changing the world.
  • 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.448
  • So they wanted to invite us to come to taipei.
  • 00:09:53.448 --> 00:09:56.518
  • And i'm very, very excited about it
  • 00:09:56.518 --> 00:09:58.953
  • Because our host there is going to be the vice president.
  • 00:09:58.953 --> 00:10:02.457
  • And it's it's just amazing what god will do,
  • 00:10:02.457 --> 00:10:05.060
  • Because people will come from all around asia
  • 00:10:05.060 --> 00:10:07.762
  • To come together to pray for the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:10:07.762 --> 00:10:10.799
  • And it's so, so heartwarming to get all these help
  • 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:15.136
  • And support from our asian brothers and sisters.
  • 00:10:15.136 --> 00:10:19.641
  • So, we would need, of course, also
  • 00:10:19.641 --> 00:10:22.977
  • All your friends, erick, to join us in prayer
  • 00:10:22.977 --> 00:10:26.414
  • Because, you know, as
  • 00:10:26.414 --> 00:10:27.649
  • You mentioned, taiwan is experiencing
  • 00:10:27.649 --> 00:10:30.385
  • Not the easiest moment in its history.
  • 00:10:30.385 --> 00:10:32.987
  • Yeah. no doubt.
  • 00:10:32.987 --> 00:10:34.089
  • I mean, israel and taiwan can relate in many ways,
  • 00:10:34.089 --> 00:10:35.957
  • Albert shared. obviously threats.
  • 00:10:35.957 --> 00:10:38.493
  • The communist regime in beijing breathing down
  • 00:10:38.493 --> 00:10:41.229
  • Taiwan's neck, israel surrounded by that iranian axis.
  • 00:10:41.229 --> 00:10:44.632
  • So it makes a lot of sense, needless to say.
  • 00:10:44.632 --> 00:10:46.401
  • And folks, by the way,
  • 00:10:46.401 --> 00:10:47.569
  • Jerusalem prayer breakfast.org to learn more about taiwan.
  • 00:10:47.569 --> 00:10:52.307
  • Incredible event coming up next month.
  • 00:10:52.307 --> 00:10:54.409
  • But in january you mentioned mar-a-lago.
  • 00:10:54.409 --> 00:10:56.611
  • You were there 2025.
  • 00:10:56.611 --> 00:10:57.946
  • I was there with you was a great event.
  • 00:10:57.946 --> 00:10:59.781
  • You'll be back at mar-a-lago, president trump's
  • 00:10:59.781 --> 00:11:02.450
  • Private residence, in january.
  • 00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:04.819
  • Tell us more about that upcoming event
  • 00:11:04.819 --> 00:11:06.721
  • And why it's so important.
  • 00:11:06.721 --> 00:11:07.956
  • The stakes are so high right now with the trump administration,
  • 00:11:07.956 --> 00:11:11.159
  • The gaza peace plan, the abraham accords, and much
  • 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.028
  • More happening.
  • 00:11:14.028 --> 00:11:15.296
  • You see, many people are very critical,
  • 00:11:16.097 --> 00:11:18.666
  • Critical about the government and, you know, rightly so.
  • 00:11:18.666 --> 00:11:22.170
  • But the bible teaches us
  • 00:11:22.170 --> 00:11:23.338
  • Something that many have not really understood.
  • 00:11:23.338 --> 00:11:26.541
  • It is our task.
  • 00:11:26.541 --> 00:11:27.709
  • It's our calling to pray for those in power.
  • 00:11:27.709 --> 00:11:31.246
  • And if they fail, we have to look at
  • 00:11:31.246 --> 00:11:34.916
  • Whether we were able to fulfill our calling.
  • 00:11:34.916 --> 00:11:37.886
  • So bringing the prayer to monologue
  • 00:11:37.886 --> 00:11:41.389
  • Or bringing prayer to the necessary
  • 00:11:41.389 --> 00:11:42.924
  • To bring a prayer to the congress.
  • 00:11:42.924 --> 00:11:45.160
  • This is something
  • 00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:46.394
  • That jerusalem prayer breakfast has really been involved with,
  • 00:11:46.394 --> 00:11:49.831
  • Bringing the prayer
  • 00:11:49.831 --> 00:11:50.932
  • To the places of power and praying for the governments.
  • 00:11:50.932 --> 00:11:54.769
  • And i think we need to pray for president trump
  • 00:11:54.769 --> 00:11:57.639
  • Like never before.
  • 00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.107
  • I mean, i'm so thankful, you know, for the hostage
  • 00:11:59.107 --> 00:12:03.378
  • Release and all of our,
  • 00:12:03.378 --> 00:12:06.214
  • You know, hostages that have been were kept,
  • 00:12:07.148 --> 00:12:09.417
  • You know, more than two years, actually, exactly two years
  • 00:12:09.417 --> 00:12:12.754
  • According to the jewish calendar.
  • 00:12:12.754 --> 00:12:15.824
  • In, in this dark dungeons of of of gaza.
  • 00:12:15.824 --> 00:12:19.093
  • And they came out right on the,
  • 00:12:19.727 --> 00:12:22.297
  • On the date of the hebrew calendar.
  • 00:12:22.297 --> 00:12:25.366
  • Simha torah,
  • 00:12:25.366 --> 00:12:27.202
  • Like,
  • 00:12:27.202 --> 00:12:28.436
  • You know, they were captured on simha torah two years earlier.
  • 00:12:28.436 --> 00:12:31.639
  • And president trump did so much for this.
  • 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.108
  • But then you read in the book of,
  • 00:12:34.108 --> 00:12:36.377
  • Joel that they gave a price
  • 00:12:36.377 --> 00:12:39.347
  • For the boy, and then they gave a price for the girl.
  • 00:12:39.347 --> 00:12:42.884
  • And then god warned the nations for dividing.
  • 00:12:42.884 --> 00:12:47.388
  • He says, my land.
  • 00:12:47.388 --> 00:12:49.958
  • Yeah.
  • 00:12:49.958 --> 00:12:51.192
  • Oh, this is this is what makes all of the difference in israel
  • 00:12:51.192 --> 00:12:54.796
  • Is not even ours to divide.
  • 00:12:54.796 --> 00:12:57.866
  • We cannot say, hey, you can have a piece here or
  • 00:12:57.866 --> 00:13:01.302
  • Or piece there.
  • 00:13:01.302 --> 00:13:02.971
  • We have to realize that
  • 00:13:03.471 --> 00:13:05.673
  • This is something that belongs to god
  • 00:13:05.673 --> 00:13:07.609
  • Of abraham, isaac and jacob, and he has not allowed
  • 00:13:07.609 --> 00:13:10.345
  • Us or any other nation to divide it.
  • 00:13:10.345 --> 00:13:12.814
  • There are dire consequences, and we need to pray
  • 00:13:12.814 --> 00:13:16.484
  • That all of these things that have been promised
  • 00:13:16.484 --> 00:13:19.387
  • To the saudis or to the turks or to the qataris,
  • 00:13:19.387 --> 00:13:23.091
  • That this would not bring any negative consequences
  • 00:13:23.091 --> 00:13:26.895
  • To the united states of america.
  • 00:13:26.895 --> 00:13:28.062
  • And i have to say, i love your country.
  • 00:13:28.062 --> 00:13:30.198
  • I love, what your country is doing for
  • 00:13:30.198 --> 00:13:33.501
  • Israel and president trump and all of his administration.
  • 00:13:33.501 --> 00:13:36.638
  • But there is such a danger in touching god's covenant
  • 00:13:36.638 --> 00:13:39.774
  • Land is such a danger, you know, making a deal with somebody,
  • 00:13:39.774 --> 00:13:44.445
  • You know, offering the land that doesn't belong to you.
  • 00:13:44.445 --> 00:13:48.016
  • You touch god's own property.
  • 00:13:48.016 --> 00:13:50.718
  • And i really think that we need to pray in the church
  • 00:13:50.718 --> 00:13:54.822
  • In america needs to pray.
  • 00:13:54.822 --> 00:13:56.391
  • So that's why we have to come together, intercede,
  • 00:13:56.391 --> 00:13:59.260
  • Pray and speak blessings over.
  • 00:13:59.260 --> 00:14:02.897
  • But along.
  • 00:14:03.197 --> 00:14:04.032
  • Yeah. amen. it's going to be great.
  • 00:14:04.032 --> 00:14:05.199
  • That event albert in january taiwan of course.
  • 00:14:05.199 --> 00:14:07.669
  • Coming up in december folks.
  • 00:14:07.669 --> 00:14:09.037

  • Find out how you can pray how you get involved.
  • 00:14:11.205 --> 00:14:13.775
  • Albert. great job my friend. keep up the great work.
  • 00:14:13.775 --> 00:14:16.344
  • I'll see you in mar-a-lago in january.
  • 00:14:16.344 --> 00:14:18.479
  • God bless albert, we'll see you again soon.
  • 00:14:18.479 --> 00:14:20.415
  • Coming up
  • 00:14:20.415 --> 00:14:21.316
  • After the break, as albert just laid out,
  • 00:14:21.316 --> 00:14:22.583
  • It's a tumultuous time in the middle east and in the world.
  • 00:14:22.583 --> 00:14:25.386
  • So how can we find peace?
  • 00:14:25.386 --> 00:14:28.122
  • Doctor jeremiah johnson is here with an excellent project
  • 00:14:28.122 --> 00:14:31.693
  • He's working on.
  • 00:14:31.693 --> 00:14:32.760
  • You're gonna want to hear more about that. shalom.
  • 00:14:32.760 --> 00:14:34.696
  • That perfect peace of god. that's next. stick around.
  • 00:14:34.696 --> 00:14:39.006
  • That perfect peace of god. that's next. stick around.
  • 00:14:39.006 --> 00:14:41.446
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
  • 00:14:42.213 --> 00:14:44.048
  • The word peace appears 651 times in the bible.
  • 00:14:44.048 --> 00:14:49.721
  • Yet many believers today struggle to find it.
  • 00:14:49.721 --> 00:14:52.824
  • Doctor jeremiah johnson's
  • 00:14:52.824 --> 00:14:54.158
  • New piece of god bible was created to change that.
  • 00:14:54.158 --> 00:14:58.162
  • It guides readers to experience god's peace.
  • 00:14:58.162 --> 00:15:01.199
  • He's shalom in every season of life.
  • 00:15:01.199 --> 00:15:04.502
  • Jeremiah is president of the christian thinker society
  • 00:15:04.502 --> 00:15:07.405
  • And pastor of apologetics and cultural engagement
  • 00:15:07.405 --> 00:15:10.641
  • At preston wood baptist church, and he joins us now.
  • 00:15:10.641 --> 00:15:13.378
  • Always great to see you, my friend. shalom my friend.
  • 00:15:13.378 --> 00:15:15.880
  • Shalom, shalom.
  • 00:15:15.880 --> 00:15:17.648
  • Hey. congratulations.
  • 00:15:17.648 --> 00:15:20.318
  • The peace of god bible is amazing.
  • 00:15:20.318 --> 00:15:22.086
  • It's for such a time as this.
  • 00:15:22.086 --> 00:15:23.287
  • Jeremiah, we're talking off camera.
  • 00:15:23.287 --> 00:15:25.289
  • And you said, look, this was a four year labor of love,
  • 00:15:25.289 --> 00:15:29.594
  • And working on this bible changed your life.
  • 00:15:29.594 --> 00:15:32.563
  • Tell us why.
  • 00:15:32.563 --> 00:15:33.998
  • I'm going to try not to cry it utterly transform my life.
  • 00:15:33.998 --> 00:15:37.201
  • I'm married for over two decades.
  • 00:15:37.201 --> 00:15:38.870
  • I'm the dad of five children, including triplets who are.
  • 00:15:38.870 --> 00:15:41.973
  • So i need all the peace that i can get.
  • 00:15:41.973 --> 00:15:43.908
  • Okay.
  • 00:15:43.908 --> 00:15:45.009
  • You're losing your mind when you're buying 700 diapers
  • 00:15:45.009 --> 00:15:46.811
  • A month at one time, okay?
  • 00:15:46.811 --> 00:15:48.012
  • It's just it is. it is going to happen.
  • 00:15:48.012 --> 00:15:50.581
  • And i was approached by the world's largest bible publisher
  • 00:15:50.581 --> 00:15:53.985
  • And they said, jeremiah, we have the nascar lovers bible.
  • 00:15:53.985 --> 00:15:56.721
  • We have the bible in the klingon language.
  • 00:15:56.721 --> 00:15:59.223
  • For star trek lovers, we don't have a bible
  • 00:15:59.223 --> 00:16:01.959
  • That focuses on the shalom, the peace of god.
  • 00:16:01.959 --> 00:16:06.097
  • And they said, jeremiah, a historical jesus scholar.
  • 00:16:06.097 --> 00:16:09.000
  • Would you trace every occurrence of the word peace in the bible
  • 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.870
  • And write devotions, and then give the people of god
  • 00:16:12.870 --> 00:16:16.074
  • The immediate next steps? erick.
  • 00:16:16.074 --> 00:16:17.975
  • And that's why i love stakelbeck tonight
  • 00:16:17.975 --> 00:16:19.510
  • You always give us information,
  • 00:16:19.510 --> 00:16:21.279
  • But you bless us with immediate
  • 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.014
  • Next steps of how to take action with our faith.
  • 00:16:23.014 --> 00:16:25.683
  • And so, four years later, i'm able to tell you
  • 00:16:25.683 --> 00:16:29.854
  • It utterly transform my life to fixate spiritually
  • 00:16:29.854 --> 00:16:33.958
  • On this word shalom, which is the greatest term
  • 00:16:33.958 --> 00:16:36.961
  • In all the bible after the name of jesus.
  • 00:16:36.961 --> 00:16:39.163
  • Why do you think it's so difficult?
  • 00:16:39.163 --> 00:16:40.665
  • Jeremiah, today for people to find peace?
  • 00:16:40.665 --> 00:16:43.601
  • On one hand, look, it's obvious we live in a tumultuous world,
  • 00:16:43.601 --> 00:16:46.737
  • Social media age, all of that.
  • 00:16:46.737 --> 00:16:48.673
  • But still, we're supposed to have that peace
  • 00:16:48.673 --> 00:16:51.008
  • That surpasses all understanding,
  • 00:16:51.008 --> 00:16:52.944
  • But seems so hard for many followers of jesus to attain it.
  • 00:16:52.944 --> 00:16:56.481
  • Why do you think that is?
  • 00:16:56.481 --> 00:16:57.448
  • You know, it's
  • 00:16:57.448 --> 00:16:58.649
  • That is such an important question that you've just asked.
  • 00:16:58.649 --> 00:17:00.985
  • So many christians miss the peace of god
  • 00:17:00.985 --> 00:17:04.522
  • Because they've missed jesus christ himself.
  • 00:17:04.522 --> 00:17:07.291
  • I spell peace j e s us.
  • 00:17:07.291 --> 00:17:11.262
  • Jesus is our shalom.
  • 00:17:11.262 --> 00:17:13.531
  • And yet many believers,
  • 00:17:13.531 --> 00:17:15.066
  • They're like the religious people in luke 19.
  • 00:17:15.066 --> 00:17:17.301
  • You've been on the mount of olives hundreds of times.
  • 00:17:17.301 --> 00:17:20.004
  • Remember in verse 41 and 42, jesus begins to weep.
  • 00:17:20.004 --> 00:17:23.407
  • He even begins to sob.
  • 00:17:23.407 --> 00:17:24.709
  • He says, if you even
  • 00:17:24.709 --> 00:17:25.843
  • You would
  • 00:17:25.843 --> 00:17:26.878
  • See the things that bring you peace,
  • 00:17:26.878 --> 00:17:28.646
  • But they're hidden from your eyes.
  • 00:17:28.646 --> 00:17:30.681
  • Jesus, this who brings us peace.
  • 00:17:30.681 --> 00:17:32.517
  • Now there's a divine order to it.
  • 00:17:32.517 --> 00:17:34.418
  • The beautiful thing about the christian life is
  • 00:17:34.418 --> 00:17:36.754
  • We can't do anything to make peace with god,
  • 00:17:36.754 --> 00:17:39.524
  • Because everything has already been done.
  • 00:17:39.524 --> 00:17:41.559
  • 2000 years ago on the cross, jesus paid for our sin in full.
  • 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:46.164
  • He used an accounting term in his native tongue, aramaic.
  • 00:17:46.164 --> 00:17:49.901
  • He says to tell a i paid in full.
  • 00:17:49.901 --> 00:17:52.503
  • It's an accounting term, meaning you can't do anything else.
  • 00:17:52.503 --> 00:17:55.206
  • Erick, to accomplish peace with god.
  • 00:17:55.206 --> 00:17:57.675
  • And then he rose from the grave,
  • 00:17:57.675 --> 00:17:59.410
  • Showing that that sacrifice worked.
  • 00:17:59.410 --> 00:18:02.380
  • And so the beautiful thing of romans chapter five, verse
  • 00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:05.149
  • One, it says, therefore, having been justified by faith,
  • 00:18:05.149 --> 00:18:09.720
  • Not by works, not by religious effort,
  • 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.156
  • Justified by faith, romans five one guarantees
  • 00:18:12.156 --> 00:18:15.026
  • We have shown with god through jesus christ our lord.
  • 00:18:15.026 --> 00:18:18.062
  • Once you accept christ that peace never changes.
  • 00:18:18.062 --> 00:18:21.265
  • You have peace with god.
  • 00:18:21.265 --> 00:18:22.133
  • But the second part is what's elusive
  • 00:18:22.133 --> 00:18:23.768
  • And that's what you alluded to in your excellent question.
  • 00:18:23.768 --> 00:18:26.337
  • Then comes colossians 315 once we have peace with god,
  • 00:18:26.337 --> 00:18:30.241
  • That never changes because of jesus,
  • 00:18:30.241 --> 00:18:32.410
  • Then we have the opportunity to experience the shalom of god
  • 00:18:32.410 --> 00:18:35.680
  • In our lives.
  • 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.681
  • And erick, i have to be transparent with you.
  • 00:18:36.681 --> 00:18:38.549
  • I'm comfortable with you and your audience.
  • 00:18:38.549 --> 00:18:40.885
  • I was a christian.
  • 00:18:40.885 --> 00:18:41.886
  • I was following jesus,
  • 00:18:41.886 --> 00:18:43.654
  • But i didn't live in the peace of god.
  • 00:18:43.654 --> 00:18:45.923
  • I had to figure out the immediate
  • 00:18:45.923 --> 00:18:47.491
  • Next steps for my marriage,
  • 00:18:47.491 --> 00:18:49.427
  • For my parenting, for how to be in ministry.
  • 00:18:49.427 --> 00:18:52.129
  • What were those immediate next steps to cultivate?
  • 00:18:52.129 --> 00:18:56.534
  • Colossians 315, where i could look at you
  • 00:18:56.534 --> 00:18:58.903
  • In the eye and say, erick,
  • 00:18:58.903 --> 00:19:00.605
  • I am living with the peace of god richly in my heart.
  • 00:19:00.605 --> 00:19:04.075
  • And i had to get beyond bumper sticker theology.
  • 00:19:04.075 --> 00:19:07.211
  • We had to get beyond.
  • 00:19:07.211 --> 00:19:08.279
  • Have you ever heard of fortune cookie christianity?
  • 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.147
  • You know, just kind of a weird statement
  • 00:19:10.147 --> 00:19:11.515
  • Doesn't really make sense.
  • 00:19:11.515 --> 00:19:12.717
  • Now we need immediate next steps.
  • 00:19:12.717 --> 00:19:14.785
  • And guess what? paul needed those.
  • 00:19:14.785 --> 00:19:16.854
  • Gideon needed those and judges.
  • 00:19:16.854 --> 00:19:18.756
  • And so i found from god's word what those immediate
  • 00:19:18.756 --> 00:19:22.360
  • Next steps are to live and cultivate the peace of god.
  • 00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:25.363
  • And it transformed everything. yeah. it's amazing.
  • 00:19:25.363 --> 00:19:27.832
  • Break down a bit more.
  • 00:19:27.832 --> 00:19:28.966
  • First of all, what sets the piece of god bible apart?
  • 00:19:28.966 --> 00:19:31.068
  • And secondly,
  • 00:19:31.068 --> 00:19:31.836
  • You and i were talking off camera
  • 00:19:31.836 --> 00:19:32.803
  • And you mentioned that
  • 00:19:32.803 --> 00:19:33.838
  • The apostle paul had his own personal peace plan.
  • 00:19:33.838 --> 00:19:37.308
  • Tell us about that as well.
  • 00:19:37.308 --> 00:19:38.276
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:19:38.276 --> 00:19:39.510
  • The peace of god bible traces the fact that the word peace
  • 00:19:39.510 --> 00:19:42.013
  • Shows up more than the word faith,
  • 00:19:42.013 --> 00:19:44.048
  • More than the word grace, more than the hebrew word kecil.
  • 00:19:44.048 --> 00:19:46.817
  • That's loving kindness, tender mercy,
  • 00:19:46.817 --> 00:19:48.686
  • Far more than judgment, far more than love.
  • 00:19:48.686 --> 00:19:50.955
  • There's 750,000 words in our english bibles.
  • 00:19:50.955 --> 00:19:54.191
  • But if i had to choose only one word
  • 00:19:54.191 --> 00:19:55.893
  • To describe the message of the bible,
  • 00:19:55.893 --> 00:19:57.962
  • It is this word shalom.
  • 00:19:57.962 --> 00:19:59.563
  • It's translated 70 different ways in one english bible.
  • 00:19:59.563 --> 00:20:03.768
  • And here's what it means.
  • 00:20:03.768 --> 00:20:05.436
  • It means far more than the truce
  • 00:20:05.436 --> 00:20:08.072
  • And erick,
  • 00:20:08.072 --> 00:20:09.240
  • We have a lot of people that are living in a truce today.
  • 00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:11.008
  • That's the greek term. irena.
  • 00:20:11.008 --> 00:20:13.077
  • Jesus did not say irena to his disciples on that file
  • 00:20:13.077 --> 00:20:16.914
  • One night when he said, shalom, i give you in john 1427,
  • 00:20:16.914 --> 00:20:20.951
  • My shalom i give to you
  • 00:20:20.951 --> 00:20:22.320
  • Not as the world gives do i give to you.
  • 00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:23.688
  • Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
  • 00:20:23.688 --> 00:20:26.557
  • The hebrew concept of shalom means to flourish,
  • 00:20:26.557 --> 00:20:30.261
  • To lack nothing, and to be made whole.
  • 00:20:30.261 --> 00:20:33.698
  • And that's what i pray for everyone
  • 00:20:33.698 --> 00:20:35.499
  • Watching this program tonight all over the world,
  • 00:20:35.499 --> 00:20:38.569
  • That you would know
  • 00:20:38.569 --> 00:20:39.470
  • The peace of god that makes you whole,
  • 00:20:39.470 --> 00:20:41.872
  • That causes you to flourish and lack nothing.
  • 00:20:41.872 --> 00:20:44.175
  • Now wait a minute.
  • 00:20:44.175 --> 00:20:45.242
  • That doesn't mean that you don't have adversity.
  • 00:20:45.242 --> 00:20:48.612
  • I have my bible open right now to judges chapter six,
  • 00:20:48.612 --> 00:20:52.116
  • My peace of god bible and the way it sets
  • 00:20:52.116 --> 00:20:53.951
  • The peace of god bible apart is there are devotionals
  • 00:20:53.951 --> 00:20:56.954
  • And action points tied to chapters
  • 00:20:56.954 --> 00:20:59.724
  • And verses that trace all 600 occurrences of peace.
  • 00:20:59.724 --> 00:21:03.260
  • But erick, the reason i have this actual page open
  • 00:21:03.260 --> 00:21:07.498
  • Is in judges chapter six, verse 24.
  • 00:21:07.498 --> 00:21:11.235
  • Gideon, pray the prayer and i hope you'll pray it.
  • 00:21:11.235 --> 00:21:13.537
  • Erick, and i hope everyone in our audience will pray it.
  • 00:21:13.537 --> 00:21:16.540
  • Gideon has so many problems,
  • 00:21:17.141 --> 00:21:19.176
  • And yet the angel of the lord says, i'm with you
  • 00:21:19.176 --> 00:21:21.312
  • And he prays this forward. prayer.
  • 00:21:21.312 --> 00:21:23.280
  • My goddess peace, love
  • 00:21:23.280 --> 00:21:26.784
  • That says it all, my friends.
  • 00:21:26.784 --> 00:21:28.219
  • Hey! the peace of god bible available amazon.com
  • 00:21:28.219 --> 00:21:30.755
  • Wherever books are sold and talk about timing.
  • 00:21:30.755 --> 00:21:34.058
  • Christmas is upon us.
  • 00:21:34.058 --> 00:21:35.493
  • My 30s left my friend.
  • 00:21:35.493 --> 00:21:37.294
  • Why is this bible, this message of peace,
  • 00:21:37.294 --> 00:21:39.563
  • Particularly relevant during this season?
  • 00:21:39.563 --> 00:21:41.565
  • Of course,
  • 00:21:41.565 --> 00:21:42.500
  • The prince of peace came into the world,
  • 00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:43.434
  • But also people struggle during christmas.
  • 00:21:43.434 --> 00:21:45.936
  • We all families are separated at times
  • 00:21:45.936 --> 00:21:48.639
  • And we or we've lost loved ones who are no longer with us.
  • 00:21:48.639 --> 00:21:51.609
  • The greatest gift you can give
  • 00:21:51.609 --> 00:21:52.910
  • Someone is a gift of a copy of god's word.
  • 00:21:52.910 --> 00:21:55.913
  • Yeah, and i don't know a single person who would say, i'm good.
  • 00:21:55.913 --> 00:21:59.984
  • I have enough peace in my life.
  • 00:21:59.984 --> 00:22:01.385
  • Yeah,
  • 00:22:01.385 --> 00:22:02.453
  • And the cool thing is about the peace of god is it
  • 00:22:02.453 --> 00:22:04.021
  • Will actually give you this bible.
  • 00:22:04.021 --> 00:22:05.790
  • The peace of god bible will give you the plan
  • 00:22:05.790 --> 00:22:07.658
  • To have peace in your family for this new year.
  • 00:22:07.658 --> 00:22:09.894
  • It will give you
  • 00:22:09.894 --> 00:22:11.028
  • It will help you during get through that holiday season
  • 00:22:11.028 --> 00:22:13.664
  • Where we all know our relatives.
  • 00:22:13.664 --> 00:22:15.399
  • We can struggle with one of our crazy uncles at christmas.
  • 00:22:15.399 --> 00:22:18.335
  • At some point the peace of god will settle us.
  • 00:22:18.335 --> 00:22:20.971
  • Yeah, jeremiah, i love it.
  • 00:22:20.971 --> 00:22:22.106
  • Doctor jeremiah johnson, the peace of god.
  • 00:22:22.106 --> 00:22:23.941
  • Bible god bless my friend. merry christmas to you.
  • 00:22:23.941 --> 00:22:26.010
  • We'll see you again soon. jeremiah johnson. yes.
  • 00:22:26.010 --> 00:22:28.646
  • Coming up after the break, how to find shalom in your home.
  • 00:22:28.646 --> 00:22:32.550
  • That's next. stick around.
  • 00:22:32.550 --> 00:22:36.015
  • That's next. stick around.
  • 00:22:36.015 --> 00:22:39.357
  • Take him back to stakelbeck tonight, folks,
  • 00:22:40.292 --> 00:22:42.127
  • As we wrap up here,
  • 00:22:42.127 --> 00:22:43.128
  • I hope everyone had a great and restful
  • 00:22:43.128 --> 00:22:45.030
  • Thanksgiving with their families and their loved ones.
  • 00:22:45.030 --> 00:22:47.399
  • As i mentioned earlier in the show,
  • 00:22:47.399 --> 00:22:48.767
  • We did have that very important thanksgiving wake up call.
  • 00:22:48.767 --> 00:22:52.304
  • So number one, you need to be aware.
  • 00:22:52.304 --> 00:22:54.039
  • But number two, keep in mind the words of jesus
  • 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:56.608
  • From the gospel of john, chapter 14, verse 27.
  • 00:22:56.608 --> 00:22:59.411
  • He said, peace i leave with you.
  • 00:22:59.411 --> 00:23:01.646
  • My peace i give you.
  • 00:23:01.646 --> 00:23:03.148
  • I do not give to you as the world gives.
  • 00:23:03.148 --> 00:23:06.184
  • Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid.
  • 00:23:06.184 --> 00:23:10.422
  • He is still on the throne, so take heart and be encouraged.
  • 00:23:10.422 --> 00:23:14.159
  • Our good friend, the one and only allen west,
  • 00:23:14.159 --> 00:23:15.794
  • Is with us tomorrow.
  • 00:23:15.794 --> 00:23:16.528
  • Plus an update
  • 00:23:16.528 --> 00:23:17.662
  • On christian persecution that you will not want to miss
  • 00:23:17.662 --> 00:23:20.265
  • Until then.
  • 00:23:20.265 --> 00:23:21.533
  • God bless you and we'll see you soon.
  • 00:23:21.533 --> 00:23:21.533
