- Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:00:03.293 --> 00:00:04.894
- I'm erick stakelbeck.
- 00:00:04.894 --> 00:00:06.129
- And islam is taking a bite out of the big apple.
- 00:00:06.129 --> 00:00:10.700
- Zoran mamdani, the new muslim mayor of new york city,
- 00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:14.471
- Was sworn in on a koran less than a week ago, and his
- 00:00:14.471 --> 00:00:18.541
- Islamist supporters wasted no time flexing their muscles.
- 00:00:18.541 --> 00:00:23.079
- This was the scene in times square last friday,
- 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.483
- Just one day after mamdani took office.
- 00:00:26.483 --> 00:00:52.442
- You can expect a lot more of that over
- 00:00:53.209 --> 00:00:55.812
- The next four years with mamdani in office.
- 00:00:55.812 --> 00:00:58.982
- This recent headline from the washington post
- 00:00:58.982 --> 00:01:01.651
- Sums it up in mom donnie's new york muslims
- 00:01:01.651 --> 00:01:05.321
- Become a political and demographic force.
- 00:01:05.321 --> 00:01:09.159
- According to the article,
- 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:10.293
- Muslims in new york are now rising to prominence
- 00:01:10.293 --> 00:01:13.296
- And becoming a distinct political force.
- 00:01:13.296 --> 00:01:16.599
- In november,
- 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:17.834
- They form the backbone of zoran mom, donnie's mayoral election
- 00:01:17.834 --> 00:01:21.037
- Victory, ushering in a new era for new york
- 00:01:21.037 --> 00:01:24.507
- And the city's changing demographics.
- 00:01:24.507 --> 00:01:27.076
- Mamdani claims
- 00:01:27.076 --> 00:01:28.178
- That 1 million muslims now reside in new york city.
- 00:01:28.178 --> 00:01:31.681
- He may be inflating that number a bit,
- 00:01:31.681 --> 00:01:34.117
- But folks, it's very clear that the demographics of nyc
- 00:01:34.117 --> 00:01:38.321
- Have changed dramatically in the 25 years
- 00:01:38.321 --> 00:01:41.491
- Since islamic terrorist attack the city
- 00:01:41.491 --> 00:01:44.194
- And destroyed the world trade center on 9/11.
- 00:01:44.194 --> 00:01:47.530
- The huge influx of foreign born muslims into new york
- 00:01:47.530 --> 00:01:51.267
- Was a major reason mamdani won the mayor's office.
- 00:01:51.267 --> 00:01:55.171
- 62% of all foreign born residents voted for mamdani.
- 00:01:55.171 --> 00:02:00.343
- Are you ready for the islamic call to prayer?
- 00:02:00.343 --> 00:02:03.813
- Five times a day
- 00:02:03.813 --> 00:02:05.415
- In america's largest city and financial capital?
- 00:02:05.415 --> 00:02:08.751
- Because it's already happening in manhattan.
- 00:02:08.751 --> 00:02:11.788
- Watch.
- 00:02:11.788 --> 00:02:25.368
- I never told you my life is going to be here.
- 00:02:26.269 --> 00:02:29.872
- Hearing this in the middle of new york.
- 00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:33.843
- Muslims in new york are clearly feeling
- 00:02:34.711 --> 00:02:37.347
- Very confident with their man in office.
- 00:02:37.347 --> 00:02:39.916
- The city's jews, on the other hand, are extremely concerned.
- 00:02:39.916 --> 00:02:44.587
- And they should be.
- 00:02:44.587 --> 00:02:46.155
- Mamdani is a longtime anti-israel activist
- 00:02:46.155 --> 00:02:49.993
- And an apologist for hamas.
- 00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:52.562
- On cue, on his first day in office, mamdani immediately
- 00:02:52.562 --> 00:02:56.633
- Revoked a previous executive order banning boycotts
- 00:02:56.633 --> 00:03:00.436
- Against israel
- 00:03:00.436 --> 00:03:01.638
- And another that held
- 00:03:01.638 --> 00:03:02.839
- Anti-semites accountable for their rhetoric.
- 00:03:02.839 --> 00:03:06.109
- Now people seem shocked by this, but they really shouldn't be.
- 00:03:06.109 --> 00:03:10.013
- What else would you expect from someone who has spent years
- 00:03:10.013 --> 00:03:13.783
- Palling around with radical islamists and anti-semites?
- 00:03:13.783 --> 00:03:18.021
- That's who mamdani is.
- 00:03:18.021 --> 00:03:20.256
- He's also a communist,
- 00:03:20.256 --> 00:03:22.792
- Not a democratic socialist like he claims.
- 00:03:22.792 --> 00:03:26.195
- He's an old school communist, as he made very clear
- 00:03:26.195 --> 00:03:29.565
- With this line from his swearing in speech last week.
- 00:03:29.565 --> 00:03:33.069
- Watch.
- 00:03:33.069 --> 00:03:33.936
- We will draw this city closer together.
- 00:03:33.936 --> 00:03:37.073
- We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism
- 00:03:37.073 --> 00:03:40.543
- With the warmth of collectivism.
- 00:03:40.543 --> 00:03:43.613
- The warmth of collectivism.
- 00:03:44.213 --> 00:03:47.016
- That's pure, unadulterated communism.
- 00:03:47.016 --> 00:03:49.919
- Karl marx couldn't have said it any better.
- 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.355
- The so-called warmth of collectivism has killed
- 00:03:52.355 --> 00:03:55.792
- Tens of millions of people in communist china,
- 00:03:55.792 --> 00:03:59.295
- Cuba, the former soviet union and north korea.
- 00:03:59.295 --> 00:04:03.032
- But let's try it in new york city and see how it goes.
- 00:04:03.032 --> 00:04:06.669
- Ready or not.
- 00:04:06.669 --> 00:04:07.670
- That's exactly what mom dani is going to do.
- 00:04:07.670 --> 00:04:10.740
- He's a true believer and so are the members of his team.
- 00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:15.111
- Here's his tenant director, and she doesn't seem
- 00:04:15.111 --> 00:04:17.980
- Too fond of private property.
- 00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:20.983
- I think the reality is, is that for centuries,
- 00:04:20.983 --> 00:04:24.721
- We've really treated, property as an individualized good
- 00:04:24.721 --> 00:04:29.025
- And not a collective good.
- 00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:30.593
- And we are going to try and transitioning to treating it as,
- 00:04:30.593 --> 00:04:35.264
- A collective good and to, towards a model of shared equity
- 00:04:35.264 --> 00:04:38.701
- Will require that we think about it differently.
- 00:04:38.701 --> 00:04:41.804
- And it will mean that,
- 00:04:41.804 --> 00:04:43.806
- Families, especially white
- 00:04:44.374 --> 00:04:45.775
- Families, but some poc families who are homeowners as well,
- 00:04:45.775 --> 00:04:48.845
- Are going to have a different relationship
- 00:04:49.746 --> 00:04:52.882
- To property than than the one that we currently have.
- 00:04:52.882 --> 00:04:57.587
- A different relation to property.
- 00:04:58.321 --> 00:05:01.023
- Love how she phrases that, especially for white families.
- 00:05:01.023 --> 00:05:04.861
- Translation.
- 00:05:04.861 --> 00:05:05.962
- The state owns everything, and you own nothing.
- 00:05:05.962 --> 00:05:10.266
- That's communism.
- 00:05:10.266 --> 00:05:12.101
- It's also racism
- 00:05:12.101 --> 00:05:13.536
- To intentionally target white families and neighborhoods
- 00:05:13.536 --> 00:05:16.372
- With higher taxes,
- 00:05:16.372 --> 00:05:17.540
- Which mom donnie vowed to do during his campaign.
- 00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:20.643
- Folks prediction this will not end well for new york city.
- 00:05:20.643 --> 00:05:25.181
- We can only pray that the damage done during mom
- 00:05:25.181 --> 00:05:28.151
- Donnie's reign will be minimal.
- 00:05:28.151 --> 00:05:30.186
- And prayer is the key for new york and for america.
- 00:05:30.186 --> 00:05:34.223
- The good news is revival is stirring in our country.
- 00:05:34.223 --> 00:05:37.760
- And pastor greg laurie is here to share more.
- 00:05:37.760 --> 00:05:40.229
- Next.
- 00:05:40.229 --> 00:05:58.948
- Out of one of the darkest moments in modern american
- 00:06:00.016 --> 00:06:03.386
- History.
- 00:06:03.386 --> 00:06:04.520
- God sparked a miracle that led thousands to christ.
- 00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:08.224
- I recently sat down with pastor greg laurie
- 00:06:08.224 --> 00:06:10.159
- At turning point, the annual and fest event in phoenix,
- 00:06:10.159 --> 00:06:12.962
- And we talked about something incredibly powerful.
- 00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:16.165
- Just months after charlie kirk was murdered, pastor
- 00:06:16.165 --> 00:06:19.302
- Greg went back to the very site in utah where it happened.
- 00:06:19.302 --> 00:06:23.272
- And what took place next had god's hand all over it.
- 00:06:23.272 --> 00:06:27.343
- Take a look.
- 00:06:27.343 --> 00:06:29.912
- Pastor greg laurie, always great to see you,
- 00:06:29.912 --> 00:06:31.714
- My friend here to manifest.
- 00:06:31.714 --> 00:06:33.349
- Yeah. i'm fest 2025, in phoenix, arizona.
- 00:06:33.349 --> 00:06:36.152
- Hey, speaking of your relationship with turning point,
- 00:06:36.152 --> 00:06:38.221
- Pastor greg, you spoke at the very site
- 00:06:38.221 --> 00:06:40.189
- In utah where charlie was martyred a few months ago.
- 00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:43.993
- Tell us about that experience.
- 00:06:43.993 --> 00:06:45.194
- That'd be powerful.
- 00:06:45.194 --> 00:06:46.762
- Well, you know, when charlie was assassinated,
- 00:06:46.762 --> 00:06:50.132
- Murdered, murdered.
- 00:06:50.132 --> 00:06:51.701
- Yeah.
- 00:06:51.701 --> 00:06:52.502
- All accurate words, there at uvu.
- 00:06:52.502 --> 00:06:56.372
- It wasn't
- 00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:57.607
- A huge event that impacted a lot of people.
- 00:06:57.607 --> 00:07:01.244
- And we had been talking with pastors in utah already
- 00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:04.247
- About doing a crusade there.
- 00:07:04.247 --> 00:07:05.748
- So we had loosely scheduled it for 2027.
- 00:07:05.748 --> 00:07:09.085
- Yeah.
- 00:07:09.085 --> 00:07:10.219
- After charlie was killed, we contacted him and said,
- 00:07:10.219 --> 00:07:13.923
- Is there anything we can do?
- 00:07:13.923 --> 00:07:15.091
- They said, yes, come soon, we need you now.
- 00:07:15.091 --> 00:07:17.960
- So we did something we had never done before.
- 00:07:17.960 --> 00:07:19.962
- Erick.
- 00:07:19.962 --> 00:07:20.897
- We put a crusade together in six weeks.
- 00:07:20.897 --> 00:07:22.965
- Normally it takes us six months to a year.
- 00:07:22.965 --> 00:07:25.601
- So everything was a fast track.
- 00:07:25.601 --> 00:07:27.303
- So we booked the arena not far from where charlie was killed.
- 00:07:27.303 --> 00:07:32.208
- In fact,
- 00:07:32.208 --> 00:07:33.209
- We went over to the very site and stood there
- 00:07:33.209 --> 00:07:35.177
- Very sobering moment,
- 00:07:35.177 --> 00:07:37.480
- But i thought, let's go to a place
- 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.549
- Where an unspeakable act of darkness took place
- 00:07:39.549 --> 00:07:42.785
- And shine the radiant light of the gospel,
- 00:07:42.785 --> 00:07:46.022
- And he and i, i call it the utah miracle.
- 00:07:46.022 --> 00:07:49.292
- Number one, it's in utah.
- 00:07:49.292 --> 00:07:51.794
- Over 65% of the area that we're in is lds mormon.
- 00:07:51.794 --> 00:07:57.033
- But yet they did welcome us with open arms.
- 00:07:57.033 --> 00:07:59.769
- The mormon officials welcomed us.
- 00:07:59.769 --> 00:08:01.771
- I went to their headquarters, met
- 00:08:01.771 --> 00:08:03.472
- With two of their top leaders in the mormon church,
- 00:08:03.472 --> 00:08:08.311
- Met for two hours, and they they they were very friendly.
- 00:08:08.311 --> 00:08:13.716
- And and i explained, i'm here to preach the gospel.
- 00:08:13.716 --> 00:08:16.953
- This is my message.
- 00:08:16.953 --> 00:08:18.187
- They they know what i'm there to do.
- 00:08:18.187 --> 00:08:20.222
- But they welcomed me.
- 00:08:20.222 --> 00:08:21.357
- So i appreciated that.
- 00:08:21.357 --> 00:08:23.326
- Number two, how quickly they came together.
- 00:08:23.326 --> 00:08:25.895
- But someone said to me, well, you know, greg,
- 00:08:25.895 --> 00:08:28.331
- When speaking to an lds
- 00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:29.865
- Audience, they're going to respond
- 00:08:29.865 --> 00:08:31.300
- If you call people to come forward publicly,
- 00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:33.703
- Like you're doing your crusades, you should just
- 00:08:33.703 --> 00:08:36.172
- Maybe have them praying.
- 00:08:36.172 --> 00:08:37.173
- They're seeing that, though
- 00:08:37.173 --> 00:08:38.107
- Maybe that's true and maybe it isn't.
- 00:08:38.107 --> 00:08:40.076
- So i gave an invitation in the arena itself.
- 00:08:40.076 --> 00:08:43.946
- We had a thousand people go forward.
- 00:08:43.946 --> 00:08:47.416
- We had overflow arenas around utah where they were
- 00:08:47.416 --> 00:08:50.886
- Watching on screens.
- 00:08:50.886 --> 00:08:51.988
- Another 500 responded.
- 00:08:51.988 --> 00:08:54.123
- We went online
- 00:08:54.123 --> 00:08:55.791
- And it was streamed live around the world,
- 00:08:55.791 --> 00:08:57.560
- With the 200,000 people watching it.
- 00:08:57.560 --> 00:08:59.996
- And then other 1000 prayed to accept christ.
- 00:08:59.996 --> 00:09:03.265
- So in one day, 2500 people made a profession of faith.
- 00:09:03.265 --> 00:09:07.770
- So coming back to charlie,
- 00:09:07.770 --> 00:09:09.572
- We asked the question, why would god allow such a tragedy?
- 00:09:09.572 --> 00:09:13.509
- The simple answer is we don't know.
- 00:09:13.509 --> 00:09:15.611
- And a lot of people here.
- 00:09:15.611 --> 00:09:16.512
- Pastor greg, are asking that here too.
- 00:09:16.512 --> 00:09:18.047
- And for young people, it's hard to believe he's gone.
- 00:09:18.047 --> 00:09:20.149
- His image still looms large as this is.
- 00:09:20.149 --> 00:09:22.451
- It is so sad. yeah.
- 00:09:22.451 --> 00:09:23.986
- He was so young.
- 00:09:23.986 --> 00:09:25.454
- He was in the prime of his life. why?
- 00:09:25.454 --> 00:09:28.057
- I don't know why,
- 00:09:28.057 --> 00:09:29.792
- But one of charlie's favorite verses was romans 828.
- 00:09:29.792 --> 00:09:33.663
- For we know that all things work
- 00:09:33.663 --> 00:09:35.131
- Together for good to those that love god.
- 00:09:35.131 --> 00:09:37.233
- Another called according to his purpose.
- 00:09:37.233 --> 00:09:39.468
- So the way i look at it is god, let this horrible tragedy
- 00:09:39.468 --> 00:09:43.472
- Take place.
- 00:09:43.472 --> 00:09:44.573
- We don't know why.
- 00:09:44.573 --> 00:09:45.641
- However, despite this horrible tragedy,
- 00:09:45.641 --> 00:09:48.944
- God has used it to touch lives.
- 00:09:48.944 --> 00:09:50.813
- I just read jenny mccarthy,
- 00:09:50.813 --> 00:09:53.582
- Said she's now become a christian because of charlie.
- 00:09:54.650 --> 00:09:58.187
- Of course, tim allen came out and said he was able
- 00:09:58.187 --> 00:10:01.657
- To forgive a drunk driver who killed his father
- 00:10:01.657 --> 00:10:05.061
- In an automobile accident after hearing erica extend
- 00:10:05.061 --> 00:10:08.731
- Forgiveness to the man who murdered her husband.
- 00:10:08.731 --> 00:10:12.034
- So we.
- 00:10:12.234 --> 00:10:13.102
- And then now 2500 people in one day
- 00:10:13.102 --> 00:10:16.472
- Came to faith in utah, in utah.
- 00:10:16.472 --> 00:10:19.575
- And that wouldn't have happened if this had not happened.
- 00:10:19.575 --> 00:10:21.877
- And i told erica, look, erica, the bible says there's joy
- 00:10:21.877 --> 00:10:25.781
- In the presence of the angels over one sinner
- 00:10:25.781 --> 00:10:28.684
- That comes to repentance,
- 00:10:28.684 --> 00:10:30.119
- Which means
- 00:10:30.119 --> 00:10:30.986
- Every time
- 00:10:30.986 --> 00:10:32.121
- Someone comes to christ on earth, there's a victory shot
- 00:10:32.121 --> 00:10:34.323
- In heaven. charlie's in heaven.
- 00:10:34.323 --> 00:10:36.692
- We know more in heaven than we know on earth, i said.
- 00:10:36.692 --> 00:10:39.662
- I think it's entirely possible that in heaven, charlie is aware
- 00:10:39.662 --> 00:10:44.066
- That 2500 people just put their faith in jesus.
- 00:10:44.066 --> 00:10:49.004
- And he heard that victory shout.
- 00:10:49.004 --> 00:10:51.107
- So, you know, it doesn't take the pain away.
- 00:10:51.107 --> 00:10:54.577
- It doesn't take the sorrow away.
- 00:10:54.577 --> 00:10:56.912
- But we can say thank god that he is working
- 00:10:56.912 --> 00:10:59.849
- Despite this tragedy.
- 00:10:59.849 --> 00:11:01.117
- As joseph said to his brothers,
- 00:11:01.117 --> 00:11:03.252
- You meant it for evil, but god meant it for good.
- 00:11:03.252 --> 00:11:06.722
- To save many people alive.
- 00:11:06.722 --> 00:11:09.759
- Up next, pastor greg laurie explains why
- 00:11:10.593 --> 00:11:12.695
- The infighting over israel isn't just political.
- 00:11:12.695 --> 00:11:16.632
- It's spiritual, and it's coming at a very critical moment.
- 00:11:16.632 --> 00:11:20.236
- Stick around.
- 00:11:20.603 --> 00:11:23.006
- Stick around.
- 00:11:23.006 --> 00:11:26.178
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
- 00:11:26.912 --> 00:11:28.847
- At a moment when revival is stirring, but
- 00:11:28.847 --> 00:11:31.950
- Division is also creeping in israel and the jewish
- 00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:35.387
- People have once again become a flashpoint,
- 00:11:35.387 --> 00:11:38.557
- Not just politically, but even within the church.
- 00:11:38.557 --> 00:11:41.827
- Pastor greg laurie shared with me why,
- 00:11:41.827 --> 00:11:43.562
- Despite all the noise, israel remains central
- 00:11:43.562 --> 00:11:47.666
- To god's plan biblically, spiritually, and prophetically.
- 00:11:47.666 --> 00:11:52.671
- Is there a concern you and i were talking off camera?
- 00:11:53.739 --> 00:11:56.575
- We've got all this momentum.
- 00:11:56.575 --> 00:11:58.010
- We've had it revival, stirring.
- 00:11:58.010 --> 00:12:01.213
- But the issue of israel and the jewish people
- 00:12:01.213 --> 00:12:04.116
- Coming to the forefront, there's people who've called it
- 00:12:04.116 --> 00:12:06.418
- Infighting
- 00:12:06.418 --> 00:12:07.653
- In the conservative movement, even among some christians.
- 00:12:07.653 --> 00:12:10.823
- Even here at am fest, we have ben shapiro on one side,
- 00:12:10.823 --> 00:12:13.892
- We have tucker carlson on another side.
- 00:12:13.892 --> 00:12:15.794
- This is becoming a massive wedge issue
- 00:12:15.794 --> 00:12:18.630
- In the conservative movement, also in the church as well.
- 00:12:18.630 --> 00:12:22.034
- What's your take on this?
- 00:12:22.034 --> 00:12:23.435
- To me, it's a dangerous time.
- 00:12:23.435 --> 00:12:25.404
- It is in israel plays such a key role.
- 00:12:25.404 --> 00:12:30.976
- In everything.
- 00:12:31.310 --> 00:12:32.711
- Yeah.
- 00:12:32.711 --> 00:12:33.946
- Jerusalem is a city of the past, the present and the future.
- 00:12:33.946 --> 00:12:37.015
- The city of the past.
- 00:12:37.516 --> 00:12:38.851
- It was the capital of israel, the city of king david.
- 00:12:38.851 --> 00:12:41.887
- You know, it's the city of the present.
- 00:12:41.887 --> 00:12:44.423
- God brought the jewish people from around the world
- 00:12:44.423 --> 00:12:47.092
- Back to their homeland on the heels of the holocaust.
- 00:12:47.092 --> 00:12:50.796
- Yeah.
- 00:12:50.796 --> 00:12:51.663
- And a modern day miracle was happening,
- 00:12:51.663 --> 00:12:53.632
- And the prophetic time clock started ticking.
- 00:12:53.632 --> 00:12:56.702
- And it's a city of the future.
- 00:12:56.702 --> 00:12:58.837
- Where is jesus going to return when he comes back again?
- 00:12:58.837 --> 00:13:02.174
- According to the bible,
- 00:13:02.174 --> 00:13:03.475
- They'll set foot on the mount of olives.
- 00:13:03.475 --> 00:13:05.277
- They're bringing this up because people say,
- 00:13:05.277 --> 00:13:07.312
- Well, god's done with the jews.
- 00:13:07.312 --> 00:13:09.047
- And all the promises to the jews are transferred to the church.
- 00:13:09.047 --> 00:13:12.818
- God is not done with the jews.
- 00:13:12.818 --> 00:13:15.220
- I believe israel is the jewish homeland.
- 00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:18.924
- I believe it is a fulfillment of bible prophecy.
- 00:13:18.924 --> 00:13:22.394
- That doesn't mean that i agree with every action
- 00:13:22.394 --> 00:13:25.831
- By the israeli defense forces,
- 00:13:25.831 --> 00:13:28.767
- But i don't agree with every action
- 00:13:28.767 --> 00:13:30.602
- By the united states military forces.
- 00:13:30.602 --> 00:13:33.672
- Looking back historically.
- 00:13:33.672 --> 00:13:35.807
- But i support
- 00:13:36.174 --> 00:13:37.776
- Principally the jewish people being in their homeland.
- 00:13:37.776 --> 00:13:41.480
- So i think that, we need to support them.
- 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.752
- But, you know, then some people mischaracterize
- 00:13:46.752 --> 00:13:48.987
- Our position
- 00:13:48.987 --> 00:13:49.788
- Is, well, you think that israelis
- 00:13:49.788 --> 00:13:51.556
- Or jewish people don't need to hear the god's word?
- 00:13:51.556 --> 00:13:53.959
- I contraire, i want to preach the gospel to them.
- 00:13:53.959 --> 00:13:57.162
- And i think the many jewish people are discovering,
- 00:13:57.162 --> 00:13:59.798
- And i've had many of them
- 00:13:59.798 --> 00:14:01.166
- Reach out to me and thank me for my support of them.
- 00:14:01.166 --> 00:14:04.403
- Yeah.
- 00:14:04.403 --> 00:14:05.904
- I think many of them are beginning to see
- 00:14:05.904 --> 00:14:07.839
- Their best friend is the evangelical christian.
- 00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:10.075
- No doubt.
- 00:14:10.075 --> 00:14:11.176
- Do you believe we're in a prophetic moment right now?
- 00:14:11.176 --> 00:14:13.111
- Israel, of course, is part of it.
- 00:14:13.111 --> 00:14:14.546
- But i look at judeo christian western civilization.
- 00:14:14.546 --> 00:14:16.848
- Pastor greg, the rise of islam here,
- 00:14:16.848 --> 00:14:20.252
- A lot of madness happening right now.
- 00:14:20.252 --> 00:14:22.187
- I think we're in a demonic moment.
- 00:14:22.187 --> 00:14:25.190
- I think
- 00:14:25.190 --> 00:14:26.091
- It's almost like hell is released.
- 00:14:26.825 --> 00:14:30.696
- All of these horrible deceptions and physical attacks.
- 00:14:30.696 --> 00:14:35.300
- I mean, look what happened to charlie kirk.
- 00:14:35.300 --> 00:14:38.370
- That is demonic.
- 00:14:38.370 --> 00:14:39.938
- That's evil.
- 00:14:39.938 --> 00:14:40.839
- Pure evil.
- 00:14:40.839 --> 00:14:42.207
- That he was murdered.
- 00:14:42.207 --> 00:14:44.609
- And this rise of anti-semitism.
- 00:14:44.609 --> 00:14:48.814
- First we were seeing it.
- 00:14:48.814 --> 00:14:50.415
- Well, it's been around forever, but.
- 00:14:50.415 --> 00:14:51.817
- But there's no question it's more than it was before.
- 00:14:51.817 --> 00:14:55.187
- And it's intensified.
- 00:14:55.187 --> 00:14:56.688
- And our ivy league universities.
- 00:14:56.688 --> 00:14:58.557
- But now it's in kind of mainstream thought.
- 00:14:58.557 --> 00:15:01.026
- And even among believers, there's a lot of confusion
- 00:15:01.026 --> 00:15:04.162
- In these areas.
- 00:15:04.162 --> 00:15:05.230
- There's a verse in the book of revelation
- 00:15:05.230 --> 00:15:07.299
- That says, the devil has come down to you with great fury,
- 00:15:07.299 --> 00:15:10.969
- Because he knows this time is short.
- 00:15:10.969 --> 00:15:13.839
- So even as some liberal theologians don't believe it,
- 00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:17.409
- Satan believes jesus is coming.
- 00:15:17.409 --> 00:15:20.746
- Now, as christians, we believe it,
- 00:15:20.746 --> 00:15:22.848
- And we want to do everything we can
- 00:15:22.848 --> 00:15:24.383
- To reach people with the gospel until he comes.
- 00:15:24.383 --> 00:15:27.052
- We need to realize we're in a spiritual battle.
- 00:15:27.052 --> 00:15:30.088
- We need to study our bibles.
- 00:15:30.088 --> 00:15:31.823
- We need to be biblically literal.
- 00:15:31.823 --> 00:15:34.226
- And, and we need to remember what our main job
- 00:15:34.226 --> 00:15:37.195
- Is as christians and our main job as christians
- 00:15:37.195 --> 00:15:40.265
- Is to preach the gospel and to pray.
- 00:15:40.265 --> 00:15:43.568
- The two secret weapons in our arsenal.
- 00:15:43.568 --> 00:15:46.371
- We don't use enough our prayer and gospel proclamation.
- 00:15:46.371 --> 00:15:50.409
- Yes. no doubt. pastor greg, last question.
- 00:15:50.409 --> 00:15:52.644
- A new year is upon us as we head into 2026.
- 00:15:52.644 --> 00:15:56.648
- What are you looking forward to in this new year?
- 00:15:56.648 --> 00:15:59.184
- What are some of your goals this year,
- 00:15:59.184 --> 00:16:01.086
- And what would you like to see in america and around the world?
- 00:16:01.086 --> 00:16:04.389
- I'd like to see a spiritual awakening.
- 00:16:04.389 --> 00:16:06.892
- I see promising signs of it
- 00:16:06.892 --> 00:16:09.661
- Here and there, and it seems like they're accelerating.
- 00:16:09.661 --> 00:16:12.264
- I mentioned it's a demonic moment.
- 00:16:12.264 --> 00:16:14.199
- It's also a holy spirit moment.
- 00:16:14.199 --> 00:16:16.368
- You know, the bible says when the enemy comes in
- 00:16:16.368 --> 00:16:18.503
- Like a flood,
- 00:16:18.503 --> 00:16:19.738
- The spirit of the lord will raise up a standard against him.
- 00:16:19.738 --> 00:16:22.707
- So i think, you know, jesus said, when you see these things
- 00:16:22.707 --> 00:16:25.777
- Begin to happen, look up.
- 00:16:25.777 --> 00:16:28.413
- He didn't say freak out, nor did he say retreat.
- 00:16:28.413 --> 00:16:31.950
- Look up why our redemption is drawing.
- 00:16:32.717 --> 00:16:35.353
- There.
- 00:16:35.353 --> 00:16:37.355
- Coming up after the break, president trump and israeli
- 00:16:37.355 --> 00:16:39.925
- Prime minister benjamin netanyahu just met last week.
- 00:16:39.925 --> 00:16:43.195
- And now a major call to prayer event is about to take place

- Of the jerusalem prayer breakfast, a worldwide movement
- 00:17:17.461 --> 00:17:20.998
- That gathers
- 00:17:20.998 --> 00:17:22.266

- 00:17:22.266 --> 00:17:25.336

- And this this prayer breakfast, by the way, was planned
- 00:17:45.523 --> 00:17:48.192
- Months before this meeting between bebe and trump
- 00:17:48.192 --> 00:17:51.962
- Was even on the calendar.
- 00:17:51.962 --> 00:17:53.464
- Tell us why mar-a-lago albert, at this critical point
- 00:17:53.464 --> 00:17:58.135
- In the u.s. israel relationship?
- 00:17:58.135 --> 00:18:01.305
- Well, i believe,
- 00:18:01.705 --> 00:18:02.940
- Erick, that our calling to pray
- 00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:06.377
- For the peace of jerusalem and to pray for the leaders
- 00:18:06.377 --> 00:18:09.747
- Is something that we need to take
- 00:18:09.747 --> 00:18:11.215
- Very seriously these these days.
- 00:18:11.215 --> 00:18:13.284
- And first of all, thank you so much for having me,
- 00:18:13.284 --> 00:18:16.320
- On your show.
- 00:18:16.687 --> 00:18:17.621
- It is a huge privilege.
- 00:18:17.621 --> 00:18:19.490
- And, we want to invite people, you know, to come and join us.
- 00:18:19.490 --> 00:18:23.594
- Those who can come in person.
- 00:18:23.594 --> 00:18:25.229
- We have still a few seats to offer and those who can.
- 00:18:25.229 --> 00:18:28.399
- You know, just stand with us in prayer.
- 00:18:28.399 --> 00:18:31.702
- That would be so important
- 00:18:31.702 --> 00:18:33.337
- Because we will have great leaders coming together,
- 00:18:33.337 --> 00:18:37.808
- From the jewish community, from the christian communities.
- 00:18:37.808 --> 00:18:40.744
- But it's really remarkable.
- 00:18:40.744 --> 00:18:42.646
- Nobody could have planned it in such a way that the crown
- 00:18:42.646 --> 00:18:46.150
- Prince of iran, reza pahlavi, will be with us.
- 00:18:46.150 --> 00:18:49.920
- We will have, two princes from belgium.
- 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.257
- We will have, the governor of judea, samaria.
- 00:18:53.257 --> 00:18:56.927
- We will have knesset members, thailand or it for casa cohen.
- 00:18:56.927 --> 00:19:01.799
- And it's going to be a very, very important,
- 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:05.436
- Moment to come together to pray together for the peace
- 00:19:05.436 --> 00:19:08.539
- Of jerusalem.
- 00:19:08.539 --> 00:19:09.940
- Congressman, martin stutzman from indiana and,
- 00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:14.378
- Lieutenant governor of indiana will be with us.
- 00:19:14.378 --> 00:19:16.914
- So it's going to be a huge, huge gathering.
- 00:19:16.914 --> 00:19:19.316
- And people will come, you know, from all around the world.
- 00:19:19.316 --> 00:19:21.919
- Latvian parliament delegation, congressman eduardo bolsonaro
- 00:19:21.919 --> 00:19:25.923
- From brazil.
- 00:19:25.923 --> 00:19:27.291
- We'll have, you know, several nations
- 00:19:27.291 --> 00:19:30.494
- Represented by their, government people.
- 00:19:30.494 --> 00:19:33.731
- So it's going to be a huge event, huge opportunity
- 00:19:33.731 --> 00:19:38.202
- To, you know, come in praying for all these nations.
- 00:19:38.202 --> 00:19:41.939
- As you said, nations are in turmoil.
- 00:19:41.939 --> 00:19:44.275
- I mean, think of what is happening in venezuela.
- 00:19:44.275 --> 00:19:46.710
- What is happening in iran?
- 00:19:46.710 --> 00:19:48.212
- Imagine what god can do when his church prays.
- 00:19:48.212 --> 00:19:52.082
- Amen.
- 00:19:52.082 --> 00:19:53.117
- Jerusalem prayer breakfast.org folks to register.
- 00:19:53.117 --> 00:19:55.719
- Right now i can tell you i've attended
- 00:19:55.719 --> 00:19:57.321
- Jerusalem prayer breakfast in the past.
- 00:19:57.321 --> 00:19:59.256
- They are incredible events.
- 00:19:59.256 --> 00:20:00.724
- And albert,
- 00:20:00.724 --> 00:20:01.825
- By the way, you mentioned crown prince reza pahlavi.
- 00:20:01.825 --> 00:20:04.995
- God willing, perhaps the next president of iran.
- 00:20:04.995 --> 00:20:07.698
- We've got the unrest happening there
- 00:20:07.698 --> 00:20:09.533
- Right now, as you said, god's timing on this.
- 00:20:09.533 --> 00:20:12.636
- We're starting off the new year bathed in prayer.
- 00:20:12.636 --> 00:20:16.540
- So important.
- 00:20:16.540 --> 00:20:18.509
- It definitely is.
- 00:20:18.942 --> 00:20:20.210
- And you can actually track it back for 150 years, at least,
- 00:20:20.210 --> 00:20:24.481
- When you've seen the jewish community
- 00:20:24.481 --> 00:20:26.417
- And christian community to come together, work together.
- 00:20:26.417 --> 00:20:29.653
- History has been changed.
- 00:20:29.653 --> 00:20:31.889
- I mean, you could talk about hessler and teodor hetzel
- 00:20:31.889 --> 00:20:35.592
- Working together for a plan of a protectorate, german
- 00:20:35.592 --> 00:20:39.196
- Protectorate in, turkey, which didn't happen.
- 00:20:39.196 --> 00:20:44.535
- Of course, god gave the opportunity for germany
- 00:20:44.535 --> 00:20:47.671
- And for russia and for turkey to to bless the jewish people.
- 00:20:47.671 --> 00:20:51.709
- But they didn't do that.
- 00:20:51.709 --> 00:20:52.843
- And of course, we all know how the history unfolded.
- 00:20:52.843 --> 00:20:55.846
- The first world war brought a disaster for these nations.
- 00:20:55.846 --> 00:20:59.016
- The only nation that blessed the jewish people was england
- 00:20:59.016 --> 00:21:02.986
- At that time,
- 00:21:02.986 --> 00:21:04.221
- And balfour declaration and the british mandate later on.
- 00:21:04.221 --> 00:21:08.292
- I mean, changed the whole middle east.
- 00:21:08.292 --> 00:21:10.661
- And then we can, you know, go,
- 00:21:10.661 --> 00:21:12.763
- And see how,
- 00:21:13.097 --> 00:21:14.965
- You know, president truman had his jewish friend eddie jacobson
- 00:21:14.965 --> 00:21:19.236
- And that friendship brought about the recognition of israel.
- 00:21:19.236 --> 00:21:24.408
- 11 minutes after that, ben-gurion declared
- 00:21:24.408 --> 00:21:28.512
- The independent state of israel in tel aviv in 1948.
- 00:21:28.512 --> 00:21:32.950
- And, of course, seeing how the christians and jews
- 00:21:32.950 --> 00:21:35.953
- Can come together and pray together,
- 00:21:35.953 --> 00:21:37.988
- We've seen it in holland, how the holocaust reparation monies
- 00:21:37.988 --> 00:21:42.860
- Were released on that very day when we were gathered
- 00:21:42.860 --> 00:21:46.063
- At the king's raiders, all in the hague.
- 00:21:46.063 --> 00:21:49.933
- Or we have seen how politicians who have promised to
- 00:21:49.933 --> 00:21:53.837
- Move the embassy
- 00:21:53.837 --> 00:21:55.572
- And have come out of the opposition
- 00:21:55.572 --> 00:21:57.741
- And come into power because god wants to give
- 00:21:57.741 --> 00:22:01.779
- These nations an opportunity.
- 00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:03.747
- He wants to give every nation an opportunity
- 00:22:03.747 --> 00:22:06.150
- To follow his foreign policy doctrine.
- 00:22:06.150 --> 00:22:09.887
- His policy doctrine is very simple.
- 00:22:09.887 --> 00:22:11.889
- He who blesses the jewish people will be blessed.
- 00:22:11.889 --> 00:22:15.058
- Those nations that will curse the jewish people.
- 00:22:15.058 --> 00:22:17.861
- Well, we've seen what has happened through the history.
- 00:22:17.861 --> 00:22:21.698
- It's going to be a great event.
- 00:22:21.698 --> 00:22:22.733
- Albert, we will see you again soon, my friend.
- 00:22:22.733 --> 00:22:24.435
- Thanks so much for joining us and coming up next.
- 00:22:24.435 --> 00:22:26.904
- A precarious time for the world.
- 00:22:26.904 --> 00:22:29.173
- Albert and i just laid it out.
- 00:22:29.173 --> 00:22:31.008
- What does the bible say about the times we are living in
- 00:22:31.008 --> 00:22:34.077
- Right now? i'll break it down next.
- 00:22:34.077 --> 00:22:39.007
- Right now? i'll break it down next.
- 00:22:39.007 --> 00:22:42.286
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:43.187 --> 00:22:44.855
- As you wrap up here, we've been talking about
- 00:22:44.855 --> 00:22:46.457
- Some very important topics tonight.
- 00:22:46.457 --> 00:22:48.025
- Number one, the rise of islam
- 00:22:48.025 --> 00:22:49.860
- In new york city and really america writ large.
- 00:22:49.860 --> 00:22:52.229
- And number two, this division in the church,
- 00:22:52.229 --> 00:22:54.698
- The body of christ over israel, jesus put it very succinctly
- 00:22:54.698 --> 00:22:58.368
- In the gospel of mark, chapter three, verses 24 and 25.
- 00:22:58.368 --> 00:23:01.605
- He said, if a kingdom is divided against itself,
- 00:23:01.605 --> 00:23:04.441
- That kingdom cannot stand.
- 00:23:04.441 --> 00:23:06.243
- If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
- 00:23:06.243 --> 00:23:10.681
- God is a god of unity.
- 00:23:10.681 --> 00:23:13.217
- Let's remember that especially at a time
- 00:23:13.217 --> 00:23:14.852
- Where christian persecution
- 00:23:14.852 --> 00:23:16.487
- Is on the rise, we've got a very special episode
- 00:23:16.487 --> 00:23:18.722
- On that tomorrow night. you won't want to miss it.
- 00:23:18.722 --> 00:23:21.391
- Until then, god bless you and we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:21.391 --> 00:23:21.391
