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: God's Covenant With Israel Still Stands | Stakelbeck Tonight | June 9, 2025
- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.159 --> 00:00:04.561
- I'm erick stakelbeck, and america is under siege.
- 00:00:04.561 --> 00:00:08.631
- Whether it's an islamic jihadist firebombing a group of jews
- 00:00:08.631 --> 00:00:12.302
- Last week in colorado.
- 00:00:12.302 --> 00:00:13.636
- Or a radical leftist murdering two israeli embassy staffers
- 00:00:13.636 --> 00:00:18.108
- In washington, d.c. last month.
- 00:00:18.108 --> 00:00:20.043
- Or the anarchist mobs in the streets of los angeles
- 00:00:20.043 --> 00:00:23.746
- Right now.
- 00:00:23.746 --> 00:00:24.814
- Folks, we have an unholy alliance of radical
- 00:00:24.814 --> 00:00:28.051
- Marxist, islamist and illegal invaders.
- 00:00:28.051 --> 00:00:31.554
- That's attempting to tear our nation apart.
- 00:00:31.554 --> 00:00:34.858
- These are not peaceful protesters.
- 00:00:34.858 --> 00:00:37.527
- They weren't back in the summer of 2020, either.
- 00:00:37.527 --> 00:00:40.663
- These are violent rioters waving foreign flags,
- 00:00:40.663 --> 00:00:44.767
- Which is really no surprise because joe biden
- 00:00:44.767 --> 00:00:47.904
- Allowed millions of people from all over the world
- 00:00:47.904 --> 00:00:51.107
- To enter our country illegally during his four years in office.
- 00:00:51.107 --> 00:00:55.845
- What we have here is a result of that biden sanctioned
- 00:00:55.845 --> 00:00:59.516
- Invasion, lawless mobs rampaging through the streets of l.a.
- 00:00:59.516 --> 00:01:03.820
- And targeting ice agents and federal officers for daring
- 00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:07.824
- To do their jobs.
- 00:01:07.824 --> 00:01:09.359
- These riders are organized.
- 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.661
- They are anti-american and they are anti law enforcement.
- 00:01:11.661 --> 00:01:15.598
- And yet,
- 00:01:15.865 --> 00:01:17.100
- California governor gavin newsom isn't condemning the violence.
- 00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:21.271
- He's helping to fuel it.
- 00:01:21.271 --> 00:01:23.306
- He's not standing with ice.
- 00:01:23.306 --> 00:01:25.108
- He's siding with criminal illegal aliens,
- 00:01:25.108 --> 00:01:27.677
- Including murderers
- 00:01:27.677 --> 00:01:29.078
- Who the trump administration is trying to arrest and deport.
- 00:01:29.078 --> 00:01:32.849
- Newsom is all about protecting foreign thugs who bring death
- 00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:37.187
- And chaos to our streets, rather than protecting the lawful
- 00:01:37.187 --> 00:01:41.424
- Citizens of california, including illegal immigrants.
- 00:01:41.424 --> 00:01:45.395
- This is exactly why president trump has been forced to step in
- 00:01:45.395 --> 00:01:49.599
- And send the national guard to get los angeles under control.
- 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.636
- Just as president george h.w.
- 00:01:53.636 --> 00:01:55.972
- Bush did back in 1992 during the rodney king riots.
- 00:01:55.972 --> 00:02:00.210
- But newsom doesn't like any of this.
- 00:02:00.210 --> 00:02:02.645
- He says it's unlawful
- 00:02:02.645 --> 00:02:04.781
- To impose law and order on violent rioters.
- 00:02:04.781 --> 00:02:08.051
- He even dared ice director tom homan to arrest him.
- 00:02:08.051 --> 00:02:11.921
- Take a look.
- 00:02:12.255 --> 00:02:14.424
- Come after me.
- 00:02:14.757 --> 00:02:15.592
- Arrest me. let's just get it over with.
- 00:02:15.592 --> 00:02:17.293
- Tough guy.
- 00:02:17.293 --> 00:02:18.895
- You know i don't give a damn, but i care about my community.
- 00:02:18.895 --> 00:02:22.532
- I care about this community.
- 00:02:22.532 --> 00:02:24.334
- The hell are they doing?
- 00:02:24.334 --> 00:02:25.868
- These guys need to grow up.
- 00:02:25.868 --> 00:02:27.036
- They need to stop, and we need to push back.
- 00:02:27.036 --> 00:02:30.306
- And i'm sorry to be so clear, but that kind of bloviating
- 00:02:30.306 --> 00:02:33.509
- Is exhausting.
- 00:02:33.509 --> 00:02:34.444
- So, tom, arrest me.
- 00:02:34.444 --> 00:02:36.246
- Let's go.
- 00:02:36.246 --> 00:02:38.948
- Newsom says the madness you're seeing on the streets
- 00:02:38.948 --> 00:02:41.150
- Of los angeles right now is just a manufactured crisis.
- 00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:44.921
- That's california's so-called leader
- 00:02:44.921 --> 00:02:47.757
- Defending masked radicals waving foreign flags, cars
- 00:02:47.757 --> 00:02:51.461
- Set ablaze, and ice agents under siege
- 00:02:51.461 --> 00:02:54.764
- And demanding that the national guard stand down.
- 00:02:54.764 --> 00:02:58.301
- Folks, don't get it twisted.
- 00:02:58.301 --> 00:03:00.003
- This isn't about immigration reform.
- 00:03:00.003 --> 00:03:02.639
- It's about anarchy.
- 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.274
- Look at these scenes from l.a.
- 00:03:04.274 --> 00:03:06.776
- Now. the department of homeland security named
- 00:03:06.776 --> 00:03:09.212
- Some of the criminals arrested in these ice raids in l.a.,
- 00:03:09.212 --> 00:03:12.782
- And they include an illegal
- 00:03:12.782 --> 00:03:14.217
- Alien from vietnam convicted of second degree
- 00:03:14.217 --> 00:03:17.587
- Murder in a mass shooting at a graduation party.
- 00:03:17.587 --> 00:03:20.890
- A cold blooded killer.
- 00:03:20.890 --> 00:03:22.859
- And there's many more where he came from, sadly.
- 00:03:22.859 --> 00:03:26.429
- That's why president trump must take the initiative here
- 00:03:26.429 --> 00:03:29.432
- And crush these riots decisively.
- 00:03:29.432 --> 00:03:32.368
- If he does not, they will spread to other american cities,
- 00:03:32.368 --> 00:03:37.340
- And these evil forces will be emboldened.
- 00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:40.410
- How evil?
- 00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:41.844
- At the top, i mentioned what happened
- 00:03:41.844 --> 00:03:43.446
- Last week in boulder, colorado, when an islamic terrorist
- 00:03:43.446 --> 00:03:46.883
- From egypt who entered the country illegally under,
- 00:03:46.883 --> 00:03:50.153
- You guessed it, joe biden, shouted free palestine
- 00:03:50.153 --> 00:03:54.157
- And set innocent people on fire at a pro-israel event.
- 00:03:54.157 --> 00:03:58.628
- One of the victims had survived the holocaust,
- 00:03:58.628 --> 00:04:01.898
- Only to be attacked again on american soil.
- 00:04:01.898 --> 00:04:05.635
- Folks, that is the kind of evil that we're up against.
- 00:04:05.635 --> 00:04:09.172
- It's an evil that israel knows all too well.
- 00:04:09.172 --> 00:04:12.508
- The world's one and only jewish state is on the very
- 00:04:12.508 --> 00:04:15.511
- Front lines of the fight to save judeo-christian civilization.
- 00:04:15.511 --> 00:04:20.016
- And up next, amir star, 40, joins us from israel's galilee
- 00:04:20.016 --> 00:04:23.519
- Region to break down what he calls the israel decree
- 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.890
- And why it matters to you.
- 00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:29.892
- And it all starts now.
- 00:04:29.892 --> 00:04:48.878
- Is modern
- 00:04:49.178 --> 00:04:50.213
- Israel the same israel we read about in the bible
- 00:04:50.213 --> 00:04:53.516
- To god's ancient promises to israel still stand today.
- 00:04:53.516 --> 00:04:57.987
- And if they do,
- 00:04:57.987 --> 00:04:59.222
- What does that mean for every follower of jesus right now?
- 00:04:59.222 --> 00:05:03.559
- In his new york times bestselling
- 00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:05.128
- Book, the israel decree.
- 00:05:05.128 --> 00:05:06.763
- Amir star, 40, reveals how god's covenant with
- 00:05:06.763 --> 00:05:09.632
- Israel is still in full effect today
- 00:05:09.632 --> 00:05:12.702
- And why it's absolutely critical for believers
- 00:05:12.702 --> 00:05:15.671
- To understand their role in bible prophecy.
- 00:05:15.671 --> 00:05:19.242
- Amir is also the founder and president
- 00:05:19.242 --> 00:05:20.910
- Of a great organization called behold israel.
- 00:05:20.910 --> 00:05:23.613
- And he joins us now.
- 00:05:23.613 --> 00:05:24.981
- Amir, always great to see you, my friend.
- 00:05:24.981 --> 00:05:26.916
- Congrats on your brand new new york
- 00:05:26.916 --> 00:05:28.985
- Times bestselling book, the israel decree.
- 00:05:28.985 --> 00:05:30.720
- We're going to talk about it in a minute,
- 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.288
- But i want to start with some breaking news here.
- 00:05:32.288 --> 00:05:34.490
- The latest amir,
- 00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:35.658
- The iranian regime, of course, recently rejected
- 00:05:35.658 --> 00:05:38.761
- President trump's latest proposal for a nuclear deal.
- 00:05:38.761 --> 00:05:42.331
- Now, reportedly,
- 00:05:42.331 --> 00:05:43.699
- Benjamin netanyahu, president trump, we're going
- 00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:45.835
- Are going to talk about iran and gaza.
- 00:05:45.835 --> 00:05:48.371
- But that iran
- 00:05:48.371 --> 00:05:49.439
- Nuclear issue, amir, it seems it's coming to a head.
- 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.743
- And at the end of the day,
- 00:05:53.743 --> 00:05:55.077
- The ayatollah cannot be trusted with any deal, right?
- 00:05:55.077 --> 00:06:00.383
- You're right.
- 00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:01.851
- And i believe that the president and the prime minister
- 00:06:01.851 --> 00:06:04.887
- Have already talked.
- 00:06:04.887 --> 00:06:06.088
- And a special meeting
- 00:06:06.088 --> 00:06:07.723
- Of the israeli security cabinet is scheduled for tonight.
- 00:06:07.723 --> 00:06:10.927
- It is that urgent because, according
- 00:06:10.927 --> 00:06:14.130
- To the iaea,
- 00:06:14.130 --> 00:06:18.034
- The, latest report is that iran
- 00:06:18.668 --> 00:06:21.971
- Has stockpiled already enough enriched uranium for ten bombs.
- 00:06:21.971 --> 00:06:25.641
- And every second that goes on those centrifuge towers
- 00:06:25.641 --> 00:06:29.612
- Are spinning faster and faster, and they get more and more
- 00:06:29.612 --> 00:06:32.849
- Enriched uranium.
- 00:06:32.849 --> 00:06:33.983
- And they know exactly why
- 00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:35.518
- They don't want to give up on their centrifuges,
- 00:06:35.518 --> 00:06:38.821
- Because they are almost reaching the goal
- 00:06:38.821 --> 00:06:42.425
- Of having a nuclear bomb.
- 00:06:42.425 --> 00:06:44.527
- Time is running out.
- 00:06:44.527 --> 00:06:46.095
- I think that america had to do
- 00:06:46.095 --> 00:06:48.164
- What it did by allowing first negotiations to take place
- 00:06:48.164 --> 00:06:52.201
- In order to create a coalition that once israel will strike,
- 00:06:52.201 --> 00:06:56.672
- The coalition, will help us sustain the blow
- 00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:59.942
- Of another, what they call true promise
- 00:06:59.942 --> 00:07:03.379
- Operation of hundreds of rockets and missiles towards israel.
- 00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:07.850
- But i do believe that this is the time.
- 00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:10.753
- I want to hope that by the end of, this month,
- 00:07:10.753 --> 00:07:14.991
- Those nuclear facilities will be crippled and severely damaged.
- 00:07:14.991 --> 00:07:19.829
- Yeah.
- 00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:20.696
- Amir, president trump has said, look,
- 00:07:20.696 --> 00:07:22.498
- Not a nuclear iran on my watch, not even uranium enrichment.
- 00:07:22.498 --> 00:07:26.402
- No. go.
- 00:07:26.402 --> 00:07:27.570
- At the same time, we have china, the communist
- 00:07:27.570 --> 00:07:29.805
- Regime in beijing,
- 00:07:29.805 --> 00:07:31.207
- Supplying iran, reportedly with ballistic missile materials.
- 00:07:31.207 --> 00:07:35.177
- Amir, you make a great point.
- 00:07:35.177 --> 00:07:36.279
- This is a golden
- 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:37.413
- Opportunity right now because iran is trying to rearm
- 00:07:37.413 --> 00:07:41.517
- As we speak.
- 00:07:41.517 --> 00:07:42.552
- And if we let this window go by,
- 00:07:42.552 --> 00:07:44.887
- They're in a much better position. it seems.
- 00:07:44.887 --> 00:07:48.391
- Absolutely.
- 00:07:48.724 --> 00:07:49.792
- Iran has just recently lost most of its proxies.
- 00:07:49.792 --> 00:07:52.929
- Hamas is gone. hezbollah is gone.
- 00:07:52.929 --> 00:07:55.097
- There is no proxies in syria.
- 00:07:55.097 --> 00:07:56.999
- In iraq, they went under the ground.
- 00:07:56.999 --> 00:07:59.068
- The houthis are the only one that are left.
- 00:07:59.068 --> 00:08:00.870
- And as you can see,
- 00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:01.971
- They don't really create that much of a damage.
- 00:08:01.971 --> 00:08:04.140
- If anything, they have been damaged themselves
- 00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:06.976
- And they can't wait for the latter to come down to try
- 00:08:06.976 --> 00:08:10.546
- And to go back about their own business.
- 00:08:10.546 --> 00:08:12.848
- So iran is in its
- 00:08:12.848 --> 00:08:14.717
- Weakest position right now financially, militarily.
- 00:08:14.717 --> 00:08:18.521
- We struck their, air defense systems.
- 00:08:18.521 --> 00:08:21.591
- And of course, politically,
- 00:08:21.591 --> 00:08:24.493
- You know, there's instability there.
- 00:08:24.493 --> 00:08:26.295
- Everyone understands that.
- 00:08:26.295 --> 00:08:28.030
- I think if there is a time and now it's the time
- 00:08:28.030 --> 00:08:31.968
- And, we we we need to do it as fast as possible.
- 00:08:31.968 --> 00:08:35.838
- This is the right time.
- 00:08:35.838 --> 00:08:37.206
- We will cry if we want.
- 00:08:37.206 --> 00:08:40.009
- Do it this time.
- 00:08:40.009 --> 00:08:40.977
- This is not going to end up well.
- 00:08:40.977 --> 00:08:42.545
- Amir. great point.
- 00:08:42.545 --> 00:08:43.512
- I think the legacy of both donald trump
- 00:08:43.512 --> 00:08:45.781
- And benjamin netanyahu ultimately rides on this issue.
- 00:08:45.781 --> 00:08:49.285
- If iran goes nuclear on their watch,
- 00:08:49.285 --> 00:08:51.754
- There goes their legacies.
- 00:08:51.754 --> 00:08:53.489
- And by the way, the prophetic implications of this.
- 00:08:53.489 --> 00:08:56.225
- Amir, you talk a lot about that.
- 00:08:56.225 --> 00:08:57.660
- If you hold israel
- 00:08:57.660 --> 00:08:58.728
- In your new book, the israel decree,
- 00:08:58.728 --> 00:09:00.062
- Which we're going to discuss in a minute.
- 00:09:00.062 --> 00:09:01.998
- Do you see prophetic implications here?
- 00:09:01.998 --> 00:09:04.767
- Bible prophecy implications when it comes to iran's
- 00:09:04.767 --> 00:09:07.837
- Nuclear program and its possible hopeful elimination?
- 00:09:07.837 --> 00:09:13.175
- Yes, absolutely.
- 00:09:13.576 --> 00:09:14.744
- I see prophetic implications.
- 00:09:14.744 --> 00:09:16.846
- First of all, we have to understand that
- 00:09:16.846 --> 00:09:18.748
- Iran is mentioned in the bible as persia or persia
- 00:09:18.748 --> 00:09:22.485
- Is mentioned in ezekiel 38 as part of a broader coalition
- 00:09:22.485 --> 00:09:26.822
- That is going to come against israel.
- 00:09:26.822 --> 00:09:29.258
- That will happen when iran will understand
- 00:09:29.258 --> 00:09:33.162
- That it cannot do anything to us alone.
- 00:09:33.162 --> 00:09:35.765
- It has to be under the auspices of a much greater
- 00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:38.834
- Coalition that is led by a big superpower.
- 00:09:38.834 --> 00:09:42.138
- So, erick,
- 00:09:42.438 --> 00:09:43.239
- I do believe with all of my heart
- 00:09:43.239 --> 00:09:45.408
- That there is a great possibility
- 00:09:45.408 --> 00:09:47.710
- That iran will be struck right now, but its response
- 00:09:47.710 --> 00:09:51.480
- Will have to wait until there is the golden hour, golden moment
- 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:56.452
- For russia to make a move and create that coalition.
- 00:09:56.452 --> 00:09:59.989
- And then persia will join and will try to,
- 00:09:59.989 --> 00:10:05.661
- Revenge of that thing.
- 00:10:06.128 --> 00:10:08.230
- Look, iran for many years tried to rely on its own
- 00:10:08.230 --> 00:10:11.100
- Ring of fire on its own proxies, and it failed miserably.
- 00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:15.805
- Hamas has gone. hezbollah is gone.
- 00:10:15.805 --> 00:10:17.373
- Hezbollah was the main, main, force for iran to,
- 00:10:17.373 --> 00:10:22.144
- Not allow anyone attacking it on its own soil.
- 00:10:22.144 --> 00:10:26.248
- It's gone.
- 00:10:26.248 --> 00:10:27.083
- Israel already paid a visit there
- 00:10:27.083 --> 00:10:29.051
- To prepare the way for the main one.
- 00:10:29.051 --> 00:10:31.721
- Yeah. and, amir, i think that's a key point.
- 00:10:31.721 --> 00:10:34.123
- Look, iran relied on that ring of fire,
- 00:10:34.123 --> 00:10:36.258
- Ultimately unsuccessfully.
- 00:10:36.258 --> 00:10:37.693
- That ring of fire has mostly been smashed
- 00:10:37.693 --> 00:10:39.929
- By the idf as you just laid out.
- 00:10:39.929 --> 00:10:41.897
- So now it seems to make sense from an iranian perspective.
- 00:10:41.897 --> 00:10:44.400
- They're going to kind of draw closer
- 00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:46.135
- To nation states, like a russia, like a turkey, like a china.
- 00:10:46.135 --> 00:10:49.905
- Great points all around and coming up after the break,
- 00:10:49.905 --> 00:10:51.841
- More with the one and only amir star, 40, our good friend
- 00:10:51.841 --> 00:10:54.844
- Joining us from the connect studios in galilee, israel.
- 00:10:54.844 --> 00:10:59.081
- What is the israel decree and why does it matter to you?
- 00:10:59.081 --> 00:11:03.686
- Find out next.
- 00:11:03.686 --> 00:11:08.001
- Find out next.
- 00:11:08.001 --> 00:11:10.494
- Welcome back to stakelbeck
- 00:11:11.061 --> 00:11:12.229
- Tonight we're talking to our good friend
- 00:11:12.229 --> 00:11:13.330
- Amir saar, the author of the brand
- 00:11:13.330 --> 00:11:15.365
- New new york times bestselling book, the israel decree.
- 00:11:15.365 --> 00:11:19.736
- Amir joins us from galilee. okay, amir.
- 00:11:19.736 --> 00:11:22.405
- The israel decree.
- 00:11:22.405 --> 00:11:23.640
- Simple question here.
- 00:11:23.640 --> 00:11:25.242
- What exactly is it and what tie does
- 00:11:25.242 --> 00:11:28.678
- It have to god's covenant with abraham?
- 00:11:28.678 --> 00:11:32.916
- And that is exactly the israel decree,
- 00:11:33.750 --> 00:11:35.685
- The covenant of god with abraham
- 00:11:35.685 --> 00:11:37.754
- And the promises that he gave to abraham regarding his seed,
- 00:11:37.754 --> 00:11:42.092
- That will once
- 00:11:42.092 --> 00:11:43.460
- Will become a nation, that will bless the rest of the nations.
- 00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:47.564
- And through that nation, god is going to work
- 00:11:47.564 --> 00:11:50.834
- And do amazing things such as give, the belief
- 00:11:50.834 --> 00:11:54.938
- In one god, the word of god, and the son of god.
- 00:11:54.938 --> 00:11:58.041
- And that's the nation that god is going to work through.
- 00:11:58.041 --> 00:12:01.144
- That's the nation that god promised abraham
- 00:12:01.144 --> 00:12:04.381
- To, to, bring out of his loins.
- 00:12:04.381 --> 00:12:07.551
- And it's important that everybody understands that
- 00:12:07.551 --> 00:12:11.054
- That specific covenant with abraham was not timestamped,
- 00:12:11.054 --> 00:12:15.525
- And it has never been conditional.
- 00:12:15.525 --> 00:12:17.661
- So a lot of people are mistakenly think that god
- 00:12:17.661 --> 00:12:20.697
- Has changed his mind when it comes to the promises
- 00:12:20.697 --> 00:12:23.800
- That he gave to abraham in regards to israel.
- 00:12:23.800 --> 00:12:28.138
- And the choice was not just the nation, it was seed.
- 00:12:28.138 --> 00:12:32.242
- It was land, and it was a blessing that came with it.
- 00:12:32.242 --> 00:12:36.112
- And you cannot separate the three.
- 00:12:36.112 --> 00:12:39.115
- We discredit god when we think
- 00:12:39.115 --> 00:12:42.118
- For a second that he changed his mind about israel.
- 00:12:42.118 --> 00:12:45.889
- And that is a very slippery slope that many churches,
- 00:12:45.889 --> 00:12:49.426
- Unfortunately, and many believers are taking.
- 00:12:49.426 --> 00:12:52.495
- Yeah. amir.
- 00:12:52.495 --> 00:12:53.697
- So important. that's why i'm so glad you wrote the book.
- 00:12:53.697 --> 00:12:55.332
- He is a promise keeping god.
- 00:12:55.332 --> 00:12:57.767
- And if he breaks his promises, his eternal promises to israel,
- 00:12:57.767 --> 00:13:01.304
- What's to say he won't break his promises with us?
- 00:13:01.304 --> 00:13:04.007
- Like you said, that's not the character of god, clearly.
- 00:13:04.007 --> 00:13:07.143
- And i think the book is a resounding response
- 00:13:07.143 --> 00:13:10.113
- To this replacement theology madness that we see
- 00:13:10.113 --> 00:13:13.483
- Increasing, really, even since october 7th, in the aftermath,
- 00:13:13.483 --> 00:13:17.954
- The israel decree that eternal covenant,
- 00:13:17.954 --> 00:13:20.490
- Ancient covenant with abraham,
- 00:13:20.490 --> 00:13:22.192
- I think, amir, that seems to be the ultimate response, right?
- 00:13:22.192 --> 00:13:24.928
- When people say, look, is god's done with israel?
- 00:13:24.928 --> 00:13:27.564
- Israel today isn't the same as israel.
- 00:13:27.564 --> 00:13:29.633
- Biblically, the israel decree pretty much says it all.
- 00:13:29.633 --> 00:13:33.169
- Exactly.
- 00:13:33.436 --> 00:13:34.104
- And i think that
- 00:13:34.104 --> 00:13:35.205
- The one of the reasons i wrote this book is because i,
- 00:13:35.205 --> 00:13:38.642
- I was quite amazed that a lot of,
- 00:13:38.642 --> 00:13:40.944
- Some very, very well known christians
- 00:13:40.944 --> 00:13:43.580
- And some of them are teachers and maybe even leaders.
- 00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:46.449
- There absolutely, 100% about israel of the old testament
- 00:13:46.449 --> 00:13:50.120
- And about archeological findings that confirm israel
- 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.024
- In the old testament.
- 00:13:54.024 --> 00:13:55.091
- But when it comes to present israel,
- 00:13:55.091 --> 00:13:57.861
- They are 95% sure, 98% sure.
- 00:13:57.861 --> 00:14:01.398
- And i'm like, how can you be 98% sure?
- 00:14:01.398 --> 00:14:04.801
- Or 95% sure when everything
- 00:14:04.801 --> 00:14:07.971
- That the bible says is happening before your very eyes?
- 00:14:07.971 --> 00:14:11.741
- It's very frustrating.
- 00:14:11.741 --> 00:14:13.343
- But i think that,
- 00:14:13.343 --> 00:14:14.544
- Erick, it's important that that we understand that, people,
- 00:14:14.544 --> 00:14:18.214
- Finding very easy to fall into replacement theology
- 00:14:18.214 --> 00:14:21.918
- Because then it will allow them to start,
- 00:14:21.918 --> 00:14:25.789
- Falling into the trap of anti-israel in
- 00:14:25.789 --> 00:14:29.526
- And follow the trends and, and become,
- 00:14:29.526 --> 00:14:32.762
- You know, pro-palestinian and, and all of these things
- 00:14:32.762 --> 00:14:36.766
- Because it's not no longer israel, it's the church.
- 00:14:36.766 --> 00:14:40.303
- But what they fail to understand that you cannot
- 00:14:40.303 --> 00:14:43.106
- Just take the blessings of israel
- 00:14:43.106 --> 00:14:45.542
- If you really, truly exchange israel.
- 00:14:45.542 --> 00:14:48.812
- I guess you will
- 00:14:48.812 --> 00:14:50.046
- Have to also take the bad things that were promised to israel
- 00:14:50.046 --> 00:14:53.083
- For sure.
- 00:14:53.383 --> 00:14:54.284
- And it's a book for such a time as this,
- 00:14:54.284 --> 00:14:55.986
- But that's why it's been elevated.
- 00:14:55.986 --> 00:14:57.520
- In spite of the notorious anti-israel bias
- 00:14:57.520 --> 00:15:00.390
- Of the new york times.
- 00:15:00.390 --> 00:15:01.524
- As you mentioned about a minute left before the break.
- 00:15:01.524 --> 00:15:03.693
- Then we will bring you right back.
- 00:15:03.693 --> 00:15:06.863
- 1948, the miraculous rebirth of israel.
- 00:15:06.863 --> 00:15:09.933
- How anyone who believes
- 00:15:09.933 --> 00:15:10.834
- In the old and new testaments can see that
- 00:15:10.834 --> 00:15:14.270
- And not see god's hand in it, to me
- 00:15:14.270 --> 00:15:16.673
- Seems very improbable that wasn't a coincidence.
- 00:15:16.673 --> 00:15:19.576
- On may 14th, 1948.
- 00:15:19.576 --> 00:15:22.312
- Yeah, that's the black eye that the replacement theology
- 00:15:22.312 --> 00:15:25.582
- People receive.
- 00:15:25.582 --> 00:15:27.584
- That day, they realize, you know, something is
- 00:15:27.584 --> 00:15:30.353
- God is going on.
- 00:15:30.353 --> 00:15:31.855
- We can no longer say, look, the jews are scattered,
- 00:15:31.855 --> 00:15:35.458
- The jews are forgotten. god is no longer with them.
- 00:15:35.458 --> 00:15:38.061
- When against all odds, a small, tiny nation
- 00:15:38.061 --> 00:15:42.399
- Came back to life after 2000 years, back
- 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.268
- To their ancestral homeland, and even won
- 00:15:45.268 --> 00:15:48.471
- A war against all odds with five invading armies.
- 00:15:48.471 --> 00:15:52.075
- It's far superior to them.
- 00:15:52.075 --> 00:15:54.377
- So yes.
- 00:15:54.377 --> 00:15:56.112
- 1948, the day that changed everything
- 00:15:56.112 --> 00:15:59.282
- And the day
- 00:15:59.282 --> 00:16:00.483
- That opened the eyes of many other evangelical christians
- 00:16:00.483 --> 00:16:02.952
- To understand god is on the move. yeah.
- 00:16:02.952 --> 00:16:05.488
- And we live in the most amazing prophetic times
- 00:16:05.488 --> 00:16:09.526
- Since the time of jesus.
- 00:16:09.526 --> 00:16:10.960
- A well said can be born in a day.
- 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.296
- Yes it can. more with amir star 40, after the break.
- 00:16:13.296 --> 00:16:16.166
- What about this insane violent
- 00:16:16.166 --> 00:16:19.235
- Rise in anti-semitism, including right here in america?
- 00:16:19.235 --> 00:16:22.672
- What does that have to do with the israel decree?
- 00:16:22.672 --> 00:16:25.175
- And you find out after the break.
- 00:16:25.175 --> 00:16:27.644
- Don't move.
- 00:16:27.644 --> 00:16:31.006
- Don't move.
- 00:16:31.006 --> 00:16:33.918
- Welcome back to stakelbeck
- 00:16:34.485 --> 00:16:35.553
- Tonight, we're talking to our good friend
- 00:16:35.553 --> 00:16:36.954
- Amir saar, founder and president of behold israel.
- 00:16:36.954 --> 00:16:39.790
- Folks, be sure to check amir out on telegram and across
- 00:16:39.790 --> 00:16:43.727
- Social media.
- 00:16:43.727 --> 00:16:44.995
- He's got a huge following there, and he's sharing information,
- 00:16:44.995 --> 00:16:48.065
- Including on topics like the rise of anti semitism
- 00:16:48.065 --> 00:16:52.136
- Around the world, including right here in the united states.
- 00:16:52.136 --> 00:16:54.872
- Amir, of course, is author of the israel decree.
- 00:16:54.872 --> 00:16:57.141
- He's with us from galilee.
- 00:16:57.141 --> 00:16:58.909
- Amir, when we talk about your brand new book,
- 00:16:58.909 --> 00:17:00.845
- The israel decree, this rise in anti-semitism, i mean, violent,
- 00:17:00.845 --> 00:17:04.882
- Vicious, demonic anti-semitism, including here in america.
- 00:17:04.882 --> 00:17:08.953
- What does that have to do with the prophetic picture?
- 00:17:08.953 --> 00:17:12.556
- Well, first of all, we have to understand that
- 00:17:12.556 --> 00:17:14.959
- Things are generally in the world are not moving into
- 00:17:14.959 --> 00:17:18.295
- Being greater, but into a deeper crisis.
- 00:17:18.295 --> 00:17:22.500
- But also, we have to remember that
- 00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:24.101
- The jewish people eventually have to come back to the land
- 00:17:24.101 --> 00:17:27.905
- In order eventually to receive the lord when he comes back.
- 00:17:27.905 --> 00:17:32.476
- So i see that, the rise in antisemitism
- 00:17:32.476 --> 00:17:37.148
- Is showing the jewish people a that
- 00:17:37.148 --> 00:17:40.151
- It doesn't matter if they're liberals, progressive.
- 00:17:40.151 --> 00:17:43.020
- If and if they're conservative, they will always be hated
- 00:17:43.020 --> 00:17:46.390
- Just for being jews.
- 00:17:46.390 --> 00:17:47.558
- Satan cannot stand the fact that,
- 00:17:47.558 --> 00:17:51.829
- You know, one day
- 00:17:52.263 --> 00:17:53.430
- These people are going
- 00:17:53.430 --> 00:17:54.632
- To be back receiving and welcoming their messiah.
- 00:17:54.632 --> 00:17:57.401
- So what is it that satan does?
- 00:17:57.401 --> 00:17:59.870
- He wants to destroy the evidence and killed the, witnesses.
- 00:17:59.870 --> 00:18:04.742
- Israel is god's witnesses, as is the church.
- 00:18:04.742 --> 00:18:07.311
- So we have to remember that one.
- 00:18:07.311 --> 00:18:09.313
- But we also have to remember
- 00:18:09.313 --> 00:18:10.981
- That the rising antisemitism is also a test to the church.
- 00:18:10.981 --> 00:18:15.619
- It's a test to every believer.
- 00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:18.088
- Are you standing with the truth even when it cost?
- 00:18:18.088 --> 00:18:22.359
- Or are you capitulating and and and believing the lie?
- 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.263
- And therefore every person who claims to be a follower
- 00:18:26.263 --> 00:18:29.900
- Of the messiah, a person that calls himself a godly
- 00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:32.937
- Person, will have to grow a spine
- 00:18:32.937 --> 00:18:37.641
- And an and stand on the truth.
- 00:18:37.641 --> 00:18:41.178
- And it's not going to be easy.
- 00:18:41.178 --> 00:18:43.480
- And that's a test of faith.
- 00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:46.584
- But you always want to be on the side of god,
- 00:18:46.584 --> 00:18:49.420
- And you always want to belong to that remnant that stays
- 00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:52.990
- Faithful.
- 00:18:52.990 --> 00:18:53.857
- Faithfulness is what god is looking for
- 00:18:53.857 --> 00:18:56.560
- In these last days, and israel is such a litmus test
- 00:18:56.560 --> 00:18:59.763
- By which god is testing the world and the church.
- 00:18:59.763 --> 00:19:02.666
- Yeah. amen. in the mirror.
- 00:19:02.666 --> 00:19:03.834
- When it comes to the church in america, at least,
- 00:19:03.834 --> 00:19:06.003
- If not now, when?
- 00:19:06.003 --> 00:19:07.371
- Look, in the year 2025, this is happening.
- 00:19:07.371 --> 00:19:09.773
- Past few weeks alone,
- 00:19:09.773 --> 00:19:10.975
- Two israeli embassy staffers gunned,
- 00:19:10.975 --> 00:19:13.277
- Gunned down in cold blood in washington, dc.
- 00:19:13.277 --> 00:19:15.879
- A firebombing
- 00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:17.081
- By a jihadist in boulder, colorado against jews last week.
- 00:19:17.081 --> 00:19:20.084
- These are the times.
- 00:19:20.084 --> 00:19:21.719
- Speaking of which, you and i have discussed this
- 00:19:21.719 --> 00:19:23.520
- Over the past year and a half,
- 00:19:23.520 --> 00:19:24.989
- That the anti-semitism has exploded since october 7th,
- 00:19:24.989 --> 00:19:29.126
- You would think, in the aftermath
- 00:19:29.126 --> 00:19:30.261
- Of the most heinous massacre of the jewish people
- 00:19:30.261 --> 00:19:32.796
- Since the holocaust, that people would,
- 00:19:32.796 --> 00:19:35.966
- Look more favorably upon israel, upon the jewish people.
- 00:19:35.966 --> 00:19:38.869
- In many cases, the exact opposite has happened,
- 00:19:38.869 --> 00:19:42.606
- I think, of gaza and now emmanuel macron.
- 00:19:42.606 --> 00:19:45.442
- Others calling for a palestinian state.
- 00:19:45.442 --> 00:19:47.678
- Do you anticipate that increasing these shrill calls
- 00:19:47.678 --> 00:19:51.782
- Against a jewish state and for a palestinian state?
- 00:19:51.782 --> 00:19:56.353
- Yeah, you're right.
- 00:19:56.820 --> 00:19:57.921
- And that's why, you know, it doesn't make sense.
- 00:19:57.921 --> 00:19:59.857
- Therefore it has to be spiritual.
- 00:19:59.857 --> 00:20:01.725
- Yeah, because it doesn't make sense.
- 00:20:01.725 --> 00:20:03.627
- There is no logic here.
- 00:20:03.627 --> 00:20:05.329
- I mean, there's far greater crisis around the world,
- 00:20:05.329 --> 00:20:08.766
- In sudan and in yemen and also in nigeria and in congo.
- 00:20:08.766 --> 00:20:13.570
- And yet who are they coming after?
- 00:20:13.570 --> 00:20:15.506
- Always? israel?
- 00:20:15.506 --> 00:20:16.674
- Who are they protesting against? always israel.
- 00:20:16.674 --> 00:20:19.076
- In fact, the protest against israel
- 00:20:19.076 --> 00:20:20.611
- Started on october 7th
- 00:20:20.611 --> 00:20:21.912
- Before we even shot one shot inside gaza.
- 00:20:21.912 --> 00:20:25.549
- That tells you this is a spiritual warfare
- 00:20:25.549 --> 00:20:29.186
- In the jewish people may not understand
- 00:20:29.186 --> 00:20:32.022
- That we're in the middle of it,
- 00:20:32.022 --> 00:20:33.257
- But christians who who have the holy spirit understands the
- 00:20:33.257 --> 00:20:37.428
- The schemes of the devil, who understand that
- 00:20:37.428 --> 00:20:40.197
- All he wants to kill, steal and destroy,
- 00:20:40.197 --> 00:20:42.433
- They of all people should understand
- 00:20:42.433 --> 00:20:44.535
- The times and the seasons and should understand that
- 00:20:44.535 --> 00:20:46.904
- What's going on right now is prophetic,
- 00:20:46.904 --> 00:20:49.139
- But it also a call for action.
- 00:20:49.139 --> 00:20:51.041
- Amen. i think it was very telling.
- 00:20:51.041 --> 00:20:53.110
- This week we discovered mohammed sinwar, a hamas leader.
- 00:20:53.110 --> 00:20:56.647
- The idf recently eliminated.
- 00:20:56.647 --> 00:20:58.048
- His corpse was found beneath a hospital funded by
- 00:20:58.048 --> 00:21:01.819
- The european union. very telling about the times.
- 00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:04.455
- And that's why we're so glad.
- 00:21:04.455 --> 00:21:05.556
- Amir, we have you.
- 00:21:05.556 --> 00:21:06.724
- We have the israel decree coming up after the break, folks.
- 00:21:06.724 --> 00:21:09.360
- A closing prayer from the galilee where jesus
- 00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:12.930
- Walked with our good friend amir. star 40.
- 00:21:12.930 --> 00:21:15.132
- You will not want to miss that. stick around.
- 00:21:15.132 --> 00:21:22.003
- You will not want to miss that. stick around.
- 00:21:22.003 --> 00:21:25.040
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight,
- 00:21:25.807 --> 00:21:27.109

- At a pro-israel event here in dallas, texas.
- 00:21:39.121 --> 00:21:41.690
- Guess what?
- 00:21:41.690 --> 00:21:42.557

- 00:21:42.557 --> 00:21:44.760
