Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: January 15, 2026 | Stakelbeck Tonight | January 15, 2026
  • Welcome to stakelbeck tonight i'm erick stakelbeck,
  • 00:00:03.293 --> 00:00:05.562
  • And while 1 million iranians are out in the streets right now,
  • 00:00:05.562 --> 00:00:09.499
  • We also have protesters
  • 00:00:09.499 --> 00:00:11.468
  • In the streets of minneapolis, minnesota.
  • 00:00:11.468 --> 00:00:14.237
  • But there's a very big difference.
  • 00:00:14.237 --> 00:00:16.706
  • The courageous iranian demonstrators
  • 00:00:16.706 --> 00:00:18.675
  • Are literally laying down their lives to demand
  • 00:00:18.675 --> 00:00:21.711
  • Freedom from one of the world's most wicked regimes.
  • 00:00:21.711 --> 00:00:25.115
  • In minneapolis, on the other hand,
  • 00:00:25.115 --> 00:00:26.950
  • We have protests led by professional agitators
  • 00:00:26.950 --> 00:00:30.854
  • Who are trying to block the federal government
  • 00:00:30.854 --> 00:00:32.922
  • From arresting and deporting violent criminals.
  • 00:00:32.922 --> 00:00:36.059
  • Like i said, big difference.
  • 00:00:36.059 --> 00:00:38.728
  • Here's just a small sampling of some of the poor,
  • 00:00:38.728 --> 00:00:42.198
  • Persecuted individuals
  • 00:00:42.198 --> 00:00:44.000
  • That isis picked up during its raids in minneapolis.
  • 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.103
  • We've got people convicted of murder, rape.
  • 00:00:47.103 --> 00:00:50.640
  • We've got child molesters, armed robbers.
  • 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.643
  • People convicted of assault.
  • 00:00:53.643 --> 00:00:55.712
  • And they all entered the united states illegally.
  • 00:00:55.712 --> 00:00:58.615
  • Many of them under joe biden.
  • 00:00:58.615 --> 00:01:00.984
  • Folks, they got to go before they harmed
  • 00:01:00.984 --> 00:01:03.920
  • More innocent people.
  • 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.555
  • This isn't hard to understand.
  • 00:01:05.555 --> 00:01:07.891
  • Yet we've got chaos in minneapolis with thugs and left
  • 00:01:07.891 --> 00:01:11.661
  • Wing professional protesters
  • 00:01:11.661 --> 00:01:13.630
  • Attacking and obstructing ice agents who are just
  • 00:01:13.630 --> 00:01:17.100
  • Trying to do their jobs, putting their lives at risk
  • 00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:20.470
  • To get criminals off the streets.
  • 00:01:20.470 --> 00:01:22.839
  • On wednesday night, an ice agent in minneapolis
  • 00:01:22.839 --> 00:01:25.642
  • Was violently attacked by three venezuelan illegal immigrants.
  • 00:01:25.642 --> 00:01:29.612
  • They beat him with shovels and broom handles before
  • 00:01:29.612 --> 00:01:32.882
  • He was able to shoot one of them in the leg, and they fled.
  • 00:01:32.882 --> 00:01:36.152
  • Otherwise, they could have killed this ice agent.
  • 00:01:36.152 --> 00:01:39.556
  • All three of the men entered the united states
  • 00:01:39.556 --> 00:01:41.858
  • Illegally under, you guessed it, joe biden.
  • 00:01:41.858 --> 00:01:45.161
  • Then we had the horrific situation last week
  • 00:01:45.161 --> 00:01:47.931
  • When a 37 year old woman named rene good
  • 00:01:47.931 --> 00:01:50.934
  • Drove her car into an ice agent.
  • 00:01:50.934 --> 00:01:53.870
  • It's now been revealed that agent jonathan ross suffered
  • 00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:56.573
  • Internal bleeding after being struck by goods suv.
  • 00:01:56.573 --> 00:02:00.777
  • He opened fire and killed good only after she struck him
  • 00:02:00.777 --> 00:02:04.747
  • With her car and he presumably felt his life was in danger.
  • 00:02:04.747 --> 00:02:08.785
  • This same agent had been struck and dragged by a car
  • 00:02:08.785 --> 00:02:11.554
  • In a separate incident just months prior.
  • 00:02:11.554 --> 00:02:14.691
  • Now, rene good's death was tragic.
  • 00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:16.626
  • She had a six year old daughter.
  • 00:02:16.626 --> 00:02:18.661
  • That's exactly
  • 00:02:18.661 --> 00:02:19.929
  • Why she should not have been in minneapolis blocking ice agents
  • 00:02:19.929 --> 00:02:23.266
  • As they tried to do their jobs.
  • 00:02:23.266 --> 00:02:25.335
  • She was asked repeatedly to move her vehicle.
  • 00:02:25.335 --> 00:02:28.571
  • Her wife
  • 00:02:28.571 --> 00:02:29.872
  • Taunted agents as she filmed the whole encounter, and screamed
  • 00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:33.509
  • At good to drive, as agents asked her to get out of her car.
  • 00:02:33.509 --> 00:02:37.380
  • Once she accelerated forward and drove into an ice agent.
  • 00:02:37.380 --> 00:02:41.351
  • There were terrible consequences,
  • 00:02:41.351 --> 00:02:43.653
  • But that's not how the far left
  • 00:02:43.653 --> 00:02:45.221
  • Democrat mayor of minneapolis, jacob frye, sees it.
  • 00:02:45.221 --> 00:02:48.458
  • Here was his immediate response to the incident involving rene
  • 00:02:48.458 --> 00:02:52.495
  • Good. and i have a message for ice
  • 00:02:52.495 --> 00:02:57.166
  • To ice.
  • 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.035
  • Get the out of minneapolis.
  • 00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:01.871
  • We do not want you here.
  • 00:03:01.871 --> 00:03:04.941
  • Your stated reason for.
  • 00:03:04.941 --> 00:03:06.109
  • Being in this city is to create some.
  • 00:03:06.109 --> 00:03:08.011
  • Kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite.
  • 00:03:08.011 --> 00:03:13.249
  • I don't know, taking hundreds of criminals off
  • 00:03:14.183 --> 00:03:16.552
  • The streets seems like it's making minneapolis a lot safer,
  • 00:03:16.552 --> 00:03:20.223
  • Except for the radicals that are harassing ice agents
  • 00:03:20.223 --> 00:03:23.226
  • At every turn, emboldened by people like jacob frye.
  • 00:03:23.226 --> 00:03:27.196
  • Folks, if you're wondering why minneapolis is in such
  • 00:03:27.196 --> 00:03:30.233
  • Big trouble, frye is a great example.
  • 00:03:30.233 --> 00:03:33.336
  • He has shamelessly pandered to the city's large somali
  • 00:03:33.336 --> 00:03:37.440
  • Muslim community.
  • 00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:38.574
  • That community
  • 00:03:38.574 --> 00:03:39.676
  • Right now is the subject of a massive investigation
  • 00:03:39.676 --> 00:03:42.512
  • Involving billions of dollars in fraud.
  • 00:03:42.512 --> 00:03:45.415
  • But here was jacob frye dancing and waving a somali flag.
  • 00:03:45.415 --> 00:03:49.852
  • And even speaking somali at an event a few months ago.
  • 00:03:49.852 --> 00:03:53.890
  • Watch.
  • 00:03:53.890 --> 00:03:54.891
  • And then it goes back, and then it goes back.
  • 00:03:54.891 --> 00:03:58.494
  • I don't have to, somalia.
  • 00:03:59.062 --> 00:04:01.898
  • I don't have to somalia.
  • 00:04:01.898 --> 00:04:04.434
  • I don't have to.
  • 00:04:04.434 --> 00:04:06.803
  • Somalia.
  • 00:04:06.803 --> 00:04:07.637
  • Yeah.
  • 00:04:07.637 --> 00:04:10.139
  • You there?
  • 00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:12.475
  • Somebody's gotta.
  • 00:04:12.475 --> 00:04:15.278
  • Somebody's.
  • 00:04:15.278 --> 00:04:16.012
  • Yeah.
  • 00:04:16.012 --> 00:04:18.915
  • Now, remember,
  • 00:04:18.915 --> 00:04:19.982
  • That was minneapolis, not mogadishu.
  • 00:04:19.982 --> 00:04:23.353
  • So you've got frye at the local level.
  • 00:04:23.353 --> 00:04:25.388
  • And tim walt's at the state level.
  • 00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:27.724
  • Walt's just announced that he will not seek
  • 00:04:27.724 --> 00:04:29.792
  • Reelection as minnesota's governor.
  • 00:04:29.792 --> 00:04:31.561
  • As that somali fraud scandal continues to swirl around him.
  • 00:04:31.561 --> 00:04:35.698
  • But he's still got plenty of time to blast ice watch.
  • 00:04:35.698 --> 00:04:41.003
  • Let's be very, very clear.
  • 00:04:41.003 --> 00:04:42.505
  • This long ago stopped being a matter
  • 00:04:42.505 --> 00:04:44.340
  • Of immigration enforcement.
  • 00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:46.142
  • Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality
  • 00:04:46.142 --> 00:04:48.978
  • Against the people of minnesota by our own federal government.
  • 00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:52.148
  • So tonight,
  • 00:04:52.482 --> 00:04:53.616
  • Let me say once again to donald trump and kristi noem
  • 00:04:53.616 --> 00:04:56.185
  • And this occupation, you've done enough.
  • 00:04:56.185 --> 00:04:59.689
  • Donald trump wants this chaos.
  • 00:04:59.689 --> 00:05:02.191
  • He wants confusion.
  • 00:05:02.191 --> 00:05:03.926
  • And yes, he wants more violence on our streets.
  • 00:05:03.926 --> 00:05:06.429
  • Tonight, i want to share another way you can help.
  • 00:05:06.429 --> 00:05:08.931
  • Witness.
  • 00:05:08.931 --> 00:05:10.266
  • Help us establish a record of exactly
  • 00:05:10.266 --> 00:05:12.802
  • What's happening in our communities.
  • 00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:14.604
  • You have an absolute right to peacefully
  • 00:05:14.604 --> 00:05:17.273
  • Film ice agents as they conduct these activities.
  • 00:05:17.273 --> 00:05:20.710
  • So carry your phone with you at all times.
  • 00:05:20.710 --> 00:05:23.379
  • And if you see these ice agents in your neighborhood,
  • 00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:26.315
  • Take out that phone and hit record.
  • 00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:29.051
  • Help us create a database of the atrocities
  • 00:05:29.051 --> 00:05:31.654
  • Against minnesotans, not just to establish a record
  • 00:05:31.654 --> 00:05:34.857
  • For posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution
  • 00:05:34.857 --> 00:05:40.430
  • Atrocities.
  • 00:05:40.763 --> 00:05:42.031
  • He's basically treating ice
  • 00:05:42.031 --> 00:05:43.466
  • As the american equivalent of the gestapo.
  • 00:05:43.466 --> 00:05:46.369
  • That doesn't sound like a guy
  • 00:05:46.369 --> 00:05:47.837
  • Who's looking to cooperate or enforce the rule of law.
  • 00:05:47.837 --> 00:05:51.107
  • So you can expect things
  • 00:05:51.107 --> 00:05:53.042
  • In minneapolis to get worse before they get better.
  • 00:05:53.042 --> 00:05:56.546
  • It's a perilous time for that city and our nation.
  • 00:05:56.546 --> 00:05:59.916
  • And up next, pastor jack hibbs joins us to break down
  • 00:05:59.916 --> 00:06:03.152
  • Where things go from here
  • 00:06:03.152 --> 00:06:04.887
  • And how god is moving amid the madness.
  • 00:06:04.887 --> 00:06:08.224
  • And it all starts now.
  • 00:06:08.224 --> 00:06:26.742
  • With tensions in the middle east intensifying
  • 00:06:27.643 --> 00:06:30.580
  • And pivotal midterm elections looming,
  • 00:06:30.580 --> 00:06:33.182
  • 2026 is already shaping up to be a very consequential
  • 00:06:33.182 --> 00:06:37.119
  • Year politically, culturally and spiritually.
  • 00:06:37.119 --> 00:06:40.490
  • In times like these, headlines alone are not enough.
  • 00:06:40.490 --> 00:06:43.759
  • We need biblical clarity and discernment rooted in god's
  • 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.697
  • Word.
  • 00:06:47.697 --> 00:06:48.531
  • That's why we're very glad to be joined
  • 00:06:48.531 --> 00:06:49.832
  • By our good friend, pastor jack hibbs, senior pastor
  • 00:06:49.832 --> 00:06:53.135
  • Of calvary chapel chino hills, host of the jack hibbs podcast
  • 00:06:53.135 --> 00:06:56.973
  • And author of a great new book called watching waiting a 40 day
  • 00:06:56.973 --> 00:07:01.611
  • In times devotional living today in light of tomorrow.
  • 00:07:01.611 --> 00:07:06.415
  • Here's our conversation. take a look.
  • 00:07:06.415 --> 00:07:09.352
  • Pastor jack, always great to see you, my friend.
  • 00:07:10.353 --> 00:07:13.322
  • And look you get into on your show, of course.
  • 00:07:13.322 --> 00:07:16.792
  • And in the book,
  • 00:07:16.792 --> 00:07:17.727
  • The civilizational, cultural,
  • 00:07:17.727 --> 00:07:19.662
  • Spiritual challenges we are facing right now
  • 00:07:19.662 --> 00:07:22.665
  • Around the world and here in the west.
  • 00:07:22.665 --> 00:07:24.467
  • And, pastor jack, because we start 2026.
  • 00:07:24.467 --> 00:07:26.836
  • One challenge in particular,
  • 00:07:26.836 --> 00:07:28.271
  • I've been focusing on the rise of islam here in the west.
  • 00:07:28.271 --> 00:07:32.708
  • Of course, we closed out the year
  • 00:07:32.708 --> 00:07:34.176
  • With the bondi beach attack in australia.
  • 00:07:34.176 --> 00:07:36.979
  • We've got great britain is a mess with islamism there.
  • 00:07:36.979 --> 00:07:40.550
  • We have zoran mamdani, the muslim mayor of new york city.
  • 00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:44.287
  • How concerned are you and how is it
  • 00:07:44.287 --> 00:07:46.522
  • A sign of the times that islam is on the rise?
  • 00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:50.159
  • Well, erick,
  • 00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:51.060
  • I'm very concerned, but i have to say,
  • 00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:52.428
  • Not without hope, because you and i know
  • 00:07:52.428 --> 00:07:54.063
  • The bible, we know how this all ends.
  • 00:07:54.063 --> 00:07:55.798
  • But, in the short term, in the now, i'm very concerned.
  • 00:07:55.798 --> 00:07:59.969
  • And for this reason, history has shown
  • 00:07:59.969 --> 00:08:02.638
  • That what is being played out right
  • 00:08:02.638 --> 00:08:04.373
  • Now is a movie that we've seen before.
  • 00:08:04.373 --> 00:08:08.244
  • When you look at antiquity, the rise of islam
  • 00:08:08.244 --> 00:08:11.180
  • And islamic invasions into europe, known as jihad,
  • 00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:15.484
  • This is something that they've been able to accomplish
  • 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.688
  • Now in these in these recent decades, specifically in europe.
  • 00:08:18.688 --> 00:08:22.658
  • And they're feeling, the wind in their sails,
  • 00:08:22.658 --> 00:08:26.162
  • So to speak, which is why you're seeing such a rise of,
  • 00:08:26.162 --> 00:08:30.366
  • Muslims feeling that they can now begin to overthrow
  • 00:08:30.366 --> 00:08:34.570
  • This constitutional, judeo christian,
  • 00:08:34.570 --> 00:08:37.873
  • Nation of the united states, which you and i know
  • 00:08:37.873 --> 00:08:41.143
  • That in islam it is known as the great satan.
  • 00:08:41.143 --> 00:08:44.146
  • America is.
  • 00:08:44.146 --> 00:08:45.615
  • But i'm concerned.
  • 00:08:45.615 --> 00:08:46.983
  • And when you start to see erick agitators involved in,
  • 00:08:46.983 --> 00:08:52.254
  • Events like we're watching right now
  • 00:08:52.254 --> 00:08:53.956
  • In minnesota, for example, that, there are people
  • 00:08:53.956 --> 00:08:57.693
  • That are coming alongside
  • 00:08:57.693 --> 00:08:58.861
  • Into these groups that are definitely islamists.
  • 00:08:58.861 --> 00:09:02.732
  • They're definitely involved.
  • 00:09:02.732 --> 00:09:04.233
  • We have
  • 00:09:04.233 --> 00:09:05.201
  • We know this from a law enforcement background
  • 00:09:05.201 --> 00:09:06.736
  • Where the where there have been people
  • 00:09:06.736 --> 00:09:08.804
  • That have come in to help stir things up.
  • 00:09:08.804 --> 00:09:11.574
  • And part of all of that action is to then create a problem
  • 00:09:11.574 --> 00:09:15.211
  • And then offer the solution.
  • 00:09:15.211 --> 00:09:17.279
  • And, that's part of islam's tactic.
  • 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.516
  • So yes, i'm concerned.
  • 00:09:20.516 --> 00:09:21.717
  • And of course, new york city, who would have thought
  • 00:09:21.717 --> 00:09:23.953
  • That the economic capital of the world would be,
  • 00:09:23.953 --> 00:09:27.189
  • Under the influence now of a muslim mayor, mayor,
  • 00:09:27.189 --> 00:09:30.960
  • In light of nine over 11, 2001.
  • 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.230
  • That said,
  • 00:09:34.530 --> 00:09:35.665
  • It appears that islam is winning in the united states.
  • 00:09:35.665 --> 00:09:38.901
  • Yeah.
  • 00:09:38.901 --> 00:09:40.069
  • Pastor jack, you mentioned minnesota and zoran mamdani.
  • 00:09:40.069 --> 00:09:42.872
  • He's sort of the personification of what i've called an unholy
  • 00:09:42.872 --> 00:09:46.142
  • Alliance between islamists and the radical left.
  • 00:09:46.142 --> 00:09:49.779
  • I deem rondonia and islamo communists talk a bit
  • 00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:53.649
  • More about that, how these they seem like strange
  • 00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:56.485
  • Bedfellows on the surface, islam and the left.
  • 00:09:56.485 --> 00:09:59.955
  • But they're cleaving closer together,
  • 00:09:59.955 --> 00:10:01.891
  • I guess, because they have the shared
  • 00:10:01.891 --> 00:10:03.225
  • Goal of bringing down judeo christian western civilization.
  • 00:10:03.225 --> 00:10:07.897
  • Exactly right.
  • 00:10:08.230 --> 00:10:09.198
  • And again, a movie we've seen before,
  • 00:10:09.198 --> 00:10:11.734
  • A lot of people
  • 00:10:11.734 --> 00:10:12.835
  • Don't realize that during world war two, adolf hitler,
  • 00:10:12.835 --> 00:10:16.205
  • Took the offer of, the grand mufti of jerusalem
  • 00:10:16.205 --> 00:10:20.643
  • Who came to hitler and said, i want to help you.
  • 00:10:20.643 --> 00:10:23.713
  • I want to help you eradicate the jews.
  • 00:10:23.713 --> 00:10:25.648
  • But watch this communist, socialist, muslim,
  • 00:10:25.648 --> 00:10:29.318
  • Guess which one he will use those other
  • 00:10:29.318 --> 00:10:32.421
  • Two extremities to advance his islamic devotion.
  • 00:10:32.421 --> 00:10:36.325
  • There's no doubt about it. history proves this to be true.
  • 00:10:36.325 --> 00:10:39.261
  • They're taking our
  • 00:10:39.261 --> 00:10:40.463
  • Judeo-christian worldview values, liberties and freedoms,
  • 00:10:40.463 --> 00:10:43.799
  • And they're going after those freedoms to to bring about,
  • 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.504
  • Their version of sharia, which is islamic rule.
  • 00:10:48.504 --> 00:10:51.841
  • Yeah. pastor jack, great points all around.
  • 00:10:51.841 --> 00:10:54.376
  • And who would have thought right now, new york city and london,
  • 00:10:54.376 --> 00:10:57.747
  • The world's two financial capita
  • 00:10:57.747 --> 00:11:03.252
  • Coming up after the break.
  • 00:11:03.819 --> 00:11:05.154
  • God did not give us prophecy to scare us, but to prepare us.
  • 00:11:05.154 --> 00:11:10.126
  • Pastor jack connects
  • 00:11:10.126 --> 00:11:11.327
  • Today's headlines to ancient promises
  • 00:11:11.327 --> 00:11:14.063
  • And what they mean for you right now.
  • 00:11:14.063 --> 00:11:16.665
  • That's next.
  • 00:11:16.665 --> 00:11:17.767
  • Stick around.
  • 00:11:17.767 --> 00:11:19.009
  • Stick around.
  • 00:11:19.009 --> 00:11:21.347
  • Hey, you mentioned the jewish people
  • 00:11:22.148 --> 00:11:23.616
  • And this onslaught against the jews.
  • 00:11:23.616 --> 00:11:25.317
  • We see it,
  • 00:11:25.317 --> 00:11:26.452
  • Of course, the left islamist, we expect it from them.
  • 00:11:26.452 --> 00:11:29.088
  • We also have the
  • 00:11:29.088 --> 00:11:30.322
  • Strain on the right now, which has become very anti-semitic,
  • 00:11:30.322 --> 00:11:33.559
  • Anti-israel.
  • 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:34.460
  • We've got this great new book
  • 00:11:34.460 --> 00:11:35.628
  • Called watching,
  • 00:11:35.628 --> 00:11:36.695
  • Waiting and talking about the times of the end.
  • 00:11:36.695 --> 00:11:40.065
  • What kind of a sign were harbinger?
  • 00:11:40.065 --> 00:11:42.168
  • Is that the rise of jew hatred, seemingly now
  • 00:11:42.168 --> 00:11:45.771
  • Across the board, covering every ideology?
  • 00:11:45.771 --> 00:11:49.475
  • Yeah, absolutely.
  • 00:11:49.909 --> 00:11:51.243
  • First of all, it's so great to know that jesus christ
  • 00:11:51.243 --> 00:11:54.113
  • In the gospels and the epistles that the, apostles wrote to us
  • 00:11:54.113 --> 00:11:58.818
  • And of course, the old testament,
  • 00:11:58.818 --> 00:12:00.953
  • Prophecies tell us that in these last days
  • 00:12:00.953 --> 00:12:04.323
  • There's going to be doctrines of demons and deceiving spirits.
  • 00:12:04.323 --> 00:12:07.827
  • And one of the things
  • 00:12:07.827 --> 00:12:08.894
  • That we know, again, a sound like a bell ringing.
  • 00:12:08.894 --> 00:12:12.531
  • But history shows us that when,
  • 00:12:12.531 --> 00:12:15.701
  • There is a rise, up against the jewish people
  • 00:12:15.701 --> 00:12:19.705
  • And against the existence of israel,
  • 00:12:19.705 --> 00:12:21.974
  • We know that there's demonic forces and powers behind that.
  • 00:12:21.974 --> 00:12:25.010
  • That said, it is it is a time, erick,
  • 00:12:25.010 --> 00:12:28.447
  • Whereby people need to realize, not put their head in the sand,
  • 00:12:28.447 --> 00:12:32.117
  • But to wake up and realize that. wait a minute,
  • 00:12:32.117 --> 00:12:34.320
  • These are the last days.
  • 00:12:34.854 --> 00:12:35.988
  • The bible says, so do i freak or do i find comfort?
  • 00:12:35.988 --> 00:12:40.059
  • And that's why i wrote this book.
  • 00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:41.460
  • Watching, waiting.
  • 00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:43.229
  • Every time that appears in the new testament, it's
  • 00:12:43.229 --> 00:12:45.764
  • To bring us peace in the midst of chaos.
  • 00:12:45.764 --> 00:12:48.767
  • It's to bring us hope in the midst of hopelessness.
  • 00:12:48.767 --> 00:12:52.037
  • So this is a 40 day devotion that is very simple,
  • 00:12:52.037 --> 00:12:56.475
  • Very practical.
  • 00:12:56.475 --> 00:12:57.476
  • But all of it is based on the eschatological or
  • 00:12:57.476 --> 00:13:01.313
  • The prophetic promises of god.
  • 00:13:01.313 --> 00:13:03.382
  • So our good friend now in heaven, doctor ed
  • 00:13:03.382 --> 00:13:05.417
  • Hutchinson, would say,
  • 00:13:05.417 --> 00:13:06.619
  • God did not give us
  • 00:13:06.619 --> 00:13:07.653
  • Bible prophecy to scare us, but to prepare us.
  • 00:13:07.653 --> 00:13:10.789
  • And that's the spirit of this book.
  • 00:13:10.789 --> 00:13:12.524
  • Amen.
  • 00:13:12.524 --> 00:13:13.025
  • And folks, again,
  • 00:13:13.025 --> 00:13:14.260
  • You can pick up watching waiting right now at jack hibbs.com.
  • 00:13:14.260 --> 00:13:17.396
  • One of the end time signs, of course, is israel
  • 00:13:17.396 --> 00:13:21.500
  • And israel the center of god's prophetic plan.
  • 00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:24.536
  • No doubt.
  • 00:13:24.536 --> 00:13:25.437
  • I see this relationship, this alliance,
  • 00:13:25.437 --> 00:13:27.406
  • Pastor jack, between president trump and israeli prime minister
  • 00:13:27.406 --> 00:13:30.643
  • Benjamin netanyahu, sort of a pair of churchill's together,
  • 00:13:30.643 --> 00:13:34.847
  • In a sea of chamberlain's
  • 00:13:34.847 --> 00:13:36.048
  • Across the west, working together closely,
  • 00:13:36.048 --> 00:13:38.817
  • Can we expect the world's attention
  • 00:13:38.817 --> 00:13:40.986
  • More and more to be focused on israel and in particular,
  • 00:13:40.986 --> 00:13:45.291
  • Jerusalem, in the days to come?
  • 00:13:45.291 --> 00:13:47.359
  • Things are happening in 2026.
  • 00:13:47.359 --> 00:13:49.194
  • Seems like it could be very momentous in the middle east.
  • 00:13:49.194 --> 00:13:53.198
  • Absolutely. yes.
  • 00:13:53.599 --> 00:13:55.200
  • I think, again, history has proven that to be true.
  • 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.903
  • But we know from scripture,
  • 00:13:57.903 --> 00:13:59.338
  • Erick, the prophetic scriptures of the bible tells us
  • 00:13:59.338 --> 00:14:02.841
  • That jesus christ is going to return to not, palestine.
  • 00:14:02.841 --> 00:14:07.479
  • He's not he's not returning to gaza.
  • 00:14:07.479 --> 00:14:10.115
  • The bible says, and has always said
  • 00:14:10.115 --> 00:14:12.184
  • That christ is going to return to jerusalem.
  • 00:14:12.184 --> 00:14:14.320
  • He's going to be returning to israel.
  • 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.488
  • Satan knows this, of course, and so he's
  • 00:14:16.488 --> 00:14:18.157
  • Trying to do everything he can to mess that up.
  • 00:14:18.157 --> 00:14:19.758
  • But he's not going to succeed at that.
  • 00:14:19.758 --> 00:14:21.927
  • But there are a lot of those who have, a cult like death,
  • 00:14:21.927 --> 00:14:25.731
  • A cult, worldviews and religions where they're where
  • 00:14:25.731 --> 00:14:29.435
  • They want to undermine that.
  • 00:14:29.435 --> 00:14:30.369
  • This is not going to happen,
  • 00:14:30.369 --> 00:14:31.470
  • But israel will become an increasingly more volatile
  • 00:14:31.470 --> 00:14:34.640
  • Topic.
  • 00:14:34.640 --> 00:14:35.841
  • The issue of the jew, will the jew be safe in the nations?
  • 00:14:35.841 --> 00:14:40.112
  • Of the earth?
  • 00:14:40.479 --> 00:14:41.680
  • I would hope so, but i don't think that's the case.
  • 00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:44.450
  • By the way, erick, this is my observation.
  • 00:14:44.450 --> 00:14:46.819
  • My opinion
  • 00:14:46.819 --> 00:14:47.853
  • That even in america or australia,
  • 00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:51.690
  • You think of the bondi beach atrocity.
  • 00:14:51.690 --> 00:14:55.194
  • It's what's amazing about these terrible things
  • 00:14:55.194 --> 00:14:58.464
  • That's happening
  • 00:14:58.464 --> 00:14:59.498
  • Is that even new york, with madani being elected,
  • 00:14:59.498 --> 00:15:02.601
  • It's causing jews to move to israel,
  • 00:15:02.601 --> 00:15:06.271
  • Which that would.
  • 00:15:06.705 --> 00:15:07.806
  • That's a biblical topic.
  • 00:15:07.806 --> 00:15:09.608
  • They're making aliya
  • 00:15:09.608 --> 00:15:11.243
  • Because god says in the last days
  • 00:15:11.243 --> 00:15:12.978
  • Before i get this show on the road with israel,
  • 00:15:12.978 --> 00:15:16.348
  • I'm going to bring my people back
  • 00:15:16.348 --> 00:15:17.783
  • From all the four corners of the earth.
  • 00:15:17.783 --> 00:15:20.119
  • Know israel is just the
  • 00:15:20.119 --> 00:15:21.620
  • Beginning, and it's the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.
  • 00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:24.123
  • It's going to be
  • 00:15:24.123 --> 00:15:25.224
  • The more prominent topic, an issue in global news.
  • 00:15:25.224 --> 00:15:28.460
  • Israel is not going to go away.
  • 00:15:28.460 --> 00:15:30.029
  • It's not it's not going to cease to exist.
  • 00:15:30.029 --> 00:15:33.098
  • God will see to it.
  • 00:15:33.098 --> 00:15:34.299
  • He promised in amos and in the book of joel
  • 00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:36.568
  • Once i restore them back into their own land.
  • 00:15:36.568 --> 00:15:38.637
  • May 14th, 1948, they will never again be uprooted.
  • 00:15:38.637 --> 00:15:42.141
  • Yeah, god's word is true. amen.
  • 00:15:42.141 --> 00:15:44.810
  • And that ingathering of the exiles
  • 00:15:44.810 --> 00:15:46.612
  • Is unfolding in real time.
  • 00:15:46.612 --> 00:15:47.946
  • Pastor jack, as you said before, our very eyes.
  • 00:15:47.946 --> 00:15:51.650
  • Coming up,
  • 00:15:51.950 --> 00:15:53.152
  • California at a crossroads with gavin newsom on his way out
  • 00:15:53.152 --> 00:15:57.489
  • And a pivotal governor's race ahead, pastor jack kim
  • 00:15:57.489 --> 00:16:00.359
  • Says something historic may be happening in the golden state.
  • 00:16:00.359 --> 00:16:04.596
  • You won't want to miss this, folks.
  • 00:16:04.596 --> 00:16:06.098
  • Don't move.
  • 00:16:06.098 --> 00:16:08.012
  • Don't move.
  • 00:16:08.012 --> 00:16:10.603
  • Hey, bringing it a bit closer to home,
  • 00:16:11.371 --> 00:16:13.573
  • I think
  • 00:16:13.573 --> 00:16:14.774
  • One of the reasons you wrote watching waiting is because
  • 00:16:14.774 --> 00:16:16.443
  • You can feel as a believer.
  • 00:16:16.443 --> 00:16:18.011
  • I mean, the holy spirit telling us
  • 00:16:18.011 --> 00:16:19.913
  • That the spiritual warfare is intensifying.
  • 00:16:19.913 --> 00:16:23.083
  • It's palpable.
  • 00:16:23.083 --> 00:16:24.484
  • And in your home state
  • 00:16:24.484 --> 00:16:25.885
  • Of california, a beautiful, beautiful place.
  • 00:16:25.885 --> 00:16:28.655
  • It's kind of one of the main battlefields
  • 00:16:28.655 --> 00:16:30.557
  • For the soul of america writ large, it seems, going forward.
  • 00:16:30.557 --> 00:16:34.094
  • Big election coming up, governor's mansion.
  • 00:16:34.094 --> 00:16:38.164
  • Gavin newsom will be leaving it very soon, thank god.
  • 00:16:38.164 --> 00:16:41.201
  • But primary coming up in june.
  • 00:16:41.201 --> 00:16:43.736
  • General election.
  • 00:16:43.736 --> 00:16:44.804
  • California for a new governor in november 2026.
  • 00:16:44.804 --> 00:16:48.141
  • Any thoughts leading into this?
  • 00:16:48.141 --> 00:16:50.443
  • And by the way, a lot of people are talking
  • 00:16:50.443 --> 00:16:52.178
  • About a president, gavin newsom, in 2028,
  • 00:16:52.178 --> 00:16:55.582
  • Or at least him running for the democratic nomination.
  • 00:16:55.582 --> 00:16:57.851
  • Any thoughts on all of this and what's unfolding
  • 00:16:57.851 --> 00:17:00.386
  • In your home state?
  • 00:17:00.386 --> 00:17:01.488
  • Well, you got to remember recently,
  • 00:17:01.488 --> 00:17:02.789
  • Gavin newsom said that he wants to, make america california.
  • 00:17:02.789 --> 00:17:08.161
  • Y'all better.
  • 00:17:08.528 --> 00:17:09.429
  • Y'all better worry about that because,
  • 00:17:09.429 --> 00:17:12.665
  • That's not a good thing.
  • 00:17:12.665 --> 00:17:13.867
  • That said, erick, i got a smile on my face because, as you
  • 00:17:13.867 --> 00:17:17.537
  • Well know, we,
  • 00:17:17.537 --> 00:17:18.705
  • We constantly are in contact with people here in california
  • 00:17:18.705 --> 00:17:21.674
  • That are running for office or considering running for office.
  • 00:17:21.674 --> 00:17:25.512
  • And, up and down this entire state.
  • 00:17:25.512 --> 00:17:27.747
  • And there is an incredible lineup of men and women
  • 00:17:27.747 --> 00:17:32.385
  • That are believers in the lord jesus christ,
  • 00:17:32.385 --> 00:17:35.722
  • And they are running for office
  • 00:17:35.722 --> 00:17:37.891
  • And all that's going to come out in due time.
  • 00:17:37.891 --> 00:17:40.360
  • But erick, i am filled with hope for california.
  • 00:17:40.360 --> 00:17:43.630
  • I am thrilled to see what's going to happen in 2026.
  • 00:17:43.630 --> 00:17:47.634
  • And america needs california.
  • 00:17:48.268 --> 00:17:49.969
  • Let's understand that it's the it's probably the fifth or sixth
  • 00:17:49.969 --> 00:17:54.007
  • Largest global economy in the world.
  • 00:17:54.007 --> 00:17:56.209
  • California is as a country unto itself.
  • 00:17:56.209 --> 00:17:58.778
  • That said, when california is doing the right thing,
  • 00:17:58.778 --> 00:18:02.582
  • It becomes an incredible influencer for what's good,
  • 00:18:02.582 --> 00:18:05.051
  • Not only in america but globally. and so,
  • 00:18:05.051 --> 00:18:08.655
  • I think we've hit rock bottom
  • 00:18:09.289 --> 00:18:11.357
  • When we talk to democrats and independents, erick,
  • 00:18:11.357 --> 00:18:14.093
  • That have said, i'm done after the fires,
  • 00:18:14.093 --> 00:18:17.730
  • After the looting and the rioting
  • 00:18:17.730 --> 00:18:19.499
  • And now with the discovery of voter fraud,
  • 00:18:19.499 --> 00:18:22.769
  • They said, i'm done.
  • 00:18:23.236 --> 00:18:24.904
  • I am done with this party of mine.
  • 00:18:24.904 --> 00:18:26.706
  • It's over.
  • 00:18:26.706 --> 00:18:27.907
  • We are seeing a remarkable groundswell of people saying,
  • 00:18:27.907 --> 00:18:32.011
  • I love california too much to leave it.
  • 00:18:32.011 --> 00:18:35.415
  • I am going to fight for it.
  • 00:18:35.415 --> 00:18:36.783
  • And we're watching republicans, democrats, democrats
  • 00:18:36.783 --> 00:18:39.919
  • And independents join rank in making the change.
  • 00:18:39.919 --> 00:18:44.123
  • And we got some great news coming up soon regarding,
  • 00:18:44.123 --> 00:18:47.760
  • Running, who's going to run for mayor and in los angeles,
  • 00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:51.965
  • But also governor and attorney general for california.
  • 00:18:51.965 --> 00:18:56.069
  • Amazing things coming.
  • 00:18:56.069 --> 00:18:57.704
  • So hang on, everybody, pray for california.
  • 00:18:57.704 --> 00:18:59.872
  • Yes, because as california goes, so goes the nation.
  • 00:18:59.872 --> 00:19:02.575
  • No doubt that is great news.
  • 00:19:02.575 --> 00:19:04.477
  • And look, california, no place like we cannot just,
  • 00:19:04.477 --> 00:19:07.880
  • Give a hand california, over to the madness
  • 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.017
  • Of the radical left. that's insane.
  • 00:19:11.017 --> 00:19:12.719
  • Gotta fight for california. no doubt.
  • 00:19:12.719 --> 00:19:15.421
  • And america, by the way,
  • 00:19:15.421 --> 00:19:17.957
  • In a larger sense, pastor jack, any thoughts
  • 00:19:17.957 --> 00:19:20.226
  • On the state of things right now in our country?
  • 00:19:20.226 --> 00:19:22.929
  • Obviously seeing some some great things.
  • 00:19:22.929 --> 00:19:24.764
  • Still a spiritual battle going on.
  • 00:19:24.764 --> 00:19:26.466
  • The left isn't going down without a fight.
  • 00:19:26.466 --> 00:19:28.868
  • Clearly, your thoughts on what we see in our country right now
  • 00:19:28.868 --> 00:19:31.938
  • As we enter a new year spiritual vacancy.
  • 00:19:31.938 --> 00:19:35.708
  • There's a spiritual void in america. erick.
  • 00:19:35.708 --> 00:19:37.744
  • We have seen a political revival we will soon
  • 00:19:37.744 --> 00:19:40.913
  • See in the first quarter of 2026 an economic revival.
  • 00:19:40.913 --> 00:19:44.951
  • Yeah.
  • 00:19:45.184 --> 00:19:46.252
  • In some ways we've seen a revival in our military.
  • 00:19:46.252 --> 00:19:48.488
  • Thank god for that.
  • 00:19:48.488 --> 00:19:50.223
  • We've seen a revival of america's presence
  • 00:19:50.223 --> 00:19:52.659
  • On the global scene.
  • 00:19:52.659 --> 00:19:54.460
  • All of that said, erick, i, i, i, i wish that we would have
  • 00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:59.032
  • Had a spiritual revival that precedes all those others.
  • 00:19:59.032 --> 00:20:02.935
  • My hope is a spiritual revival will soon come to america.
  • 00:20:02.935 --> 00:20:07.907
  • But that's what i'm concerned about.
  • 00:20:07.907 --> 00:20:10.243
  • What shall it profit america on her 250th birthday?
  • 00:20:10.243 --> 00:20:14.914
  • If she regains her status of superpower?
  • 00:20:14.914 --> 00:20:17.884
  • She has all the gold and influence in the world, but
  • 00:20:17.884 --> 00:20:21.521
  • Loses her own soul.
  • 00:20:21.521 --> 00:20:23.289
  • America's got to experience a revival.
  • 00:20:24.123 --> 00:20:26.993
  • But let's remember this, erick.
  • 00:20:26.993 --> 00:20:28.695
  • A revival happens within the church.
  • 00:20:28.695 --> 00:20:31.197
  • An awakening happens among the lost
  • 00:20:31.197 --> 00:20:33.800
  • That if the church doesn't get right,
  • 00:20:33.800 --> 00:20:36.569
  • Then i fear for the loss that are in america.
  • 00:20:36.569 --> 00:20:39.205
  • I fear for the soul of america.
  • 00:20:39.205 --> 00:20:40.940
  • Yeah.
  • 00:20:40.940 --> 00:20:42.175
  • And charlie kirk, our mutual friend, pastor jack, his death.
  • 00:20:42.175 --> 00:20:45.078
  • We saw stirrings.
  • 00:20:45.078 --> 00:20:46.312
  • I think of revival, for sure, especially among young people.
  • 00:20:46.312 --> 00:20:49.182
  • But can't lose that momentum. it's got to.
  • 00:20:49.182 --> 00:20:51.451
  • I'll take revival. awakening.
  • 00:20:51.451 --> 00:20:53.019
  • We'll take both. it's just what the doctor ordered.
  • 00:20:53.019 --> 00:20:55.988
  • And pastor jack, i think along those lines,
  • 00:20:55.988 --> 00:20:57.690
  • A great way to close out.
  • 00:20:57.690 --> 00:20:58.891
  • And again, jack hibbs.com folks watching, waiting.
  • 00:20:58.891 --> 00:21:01.794
  • Pick it up, the 40 day devotional.
  • 00:21:01.794 --> 00:21:03.629
  • Can you take us out right now in prayer?
  • 00:21:03.629 --> 00:21:07.333
  • Oh, yes.
  • 00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:08.534
  • Thank you.
  • 00:21:08.534 --> 00:21:09.702
  • Heavenly father, we come together.
  • 00:21:09.702 --> 00:21:11.337
  • And lord, we ask you that you would do
  • 00:21:11.337 --> 00:21:13.339
  • What you need to do
  • 00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:14.474
  • To bring this nation to the foot of the cross.
  • 00:21:14.474 --> 00:21:17.777
  • Lord, we have been told throughout history
  • 00:21:17.777 --> 00:21:19.879
  • That america is great because america is good.
  • 00:21:19.879 --> 00:21:22.682
  • But when america ceases to be good,
  • 00:21:22.682 --> 00:21:24.283
  • America will cease to be great.
  • 00:21:24.283 --> 00:21:26.386
  • Lord, we ask you that you would awaken
  • 00:21:26.386 --> 00:21:28.755
  • The church, that the
  • 00:21:28.755 --> 00:21:29.889
  • That the body of christ would return to the word of god,
  • 00:21:29.889 --> 00:21:32.792
  • That we would see bibles open, read, and obeyed, and lord,
  • 00:21:32.792 --> 00:21:36.429
  • That we would repent as a people for our national sins
  • 00:21:36.429 --> 00:21:39.499
  • Like daniel did for israel,
  • 00:21:39.499 --> 00:21:41.434
  • And that we would see a great awakening among the lost
  • 00:21:41.434 --> 00:21:44.370
  • That tens of thousands, if not millions of people
  • 00:21:44.370 --> 00:21:46.806
  • Would get saved and be able to go to churches
  • 00:21:46.806 --> 00:21:50.643
  • Where the bible study, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
  • 00:21:50.643 --> 00:21:54.614
  • So, lord, we just give this nation
  • 00:21:54.614 --> 00:21:56.349
  • On its 250th birthday into your hands, asking you to grace us
  • 00:21:56.349 --> 00:22:00.720
  • With your goodness in your favor.
  • 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:02.288
  • In your name we pray. in jesus name we pray.
  • 00:22:02.288 --> 00:22:05.158
  • Amen.

  • As president trump and our leaders try to get it
  • 00:22:39.893 --> 00:22:41.829
  • Under control, they're doing the right thing.

  • Second chronicles chapter seven, verse 14.
  • 00:22:47.534 --> 00:22:50.070
  • The answers are all right there.
  • 00:22:50.070 --> 00:22:51.538
  • If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves
  • 00:22:51.538 --> 00:22:55.042
  • And pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
  • 00:22:55.042 --> 00:22:58.579
  • Then i will hear from heaven.
  • 00:22:58.579 --> 00:23:00.447
  • God says, and i will forgive their sin
  • 00:23:00.447 --> 00:23:02.516
  • And will heal their land.
  • 00:23:02.516 --> 00:23:04.618
  • That is the only way. revival.
  • 00:23:04.618 --> 00:23:07.621
  • Prayer god almighty is on the throne
  • 00:23:07.621 --> 00:23:09.990
  • And we can appeal to him for our nation.
