Then that rating will encourage others to listen. Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you. Here is Jack Hibbs. 01:04 - Speaker 2 The Bible tells us and warns us, what is known as eschatology. It's a big word, big meaning. The Bible is the only eschatological book in the world that is accurate and that has the record that it has. Did you know that the Bible, when it comes to eschatological teaching, which is future teaching, bible prophecy, the Quran fails, the Book of Mormon fails, jehovah Witnesses fail, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the sages of ancient times passed All of the various religions of the world. They claim to have prophecies but in reality they never produce one. That's why, listen, I often get confused on an airplane flight or where I'm at in some country, because I'll be talking about the Jewish scriptures, for example, and on my ring, in Hebrew, it says your people, my people, your God, my God. So people will say are you Jewish? And I said no, but the God I worship is Jewish. And you might say well, what a thing to say. No, it's exactly the thing to say If you understand the Bible, and today we're all about the Bible and I hope tomorrow and forever we're only about the Bible. Can you just jot this down in your note taking please? Regarding Israel and what's next, israel now is fighting its greatest war since the Holocaust, there have been more Israelis murdered than any other time since the Holocaust. And what is spooling up now has involved these nations. As of this hour, number one Iran, key player. Jot it down. Iran, china we'll talk about the connection. Russia no surprise to the Bible student of the book of Ezekiel. Turkey, or, in your Old Testament, turkey is referred to as Togamar. Syria, lebanon, believe it or not. North Korea is involved Tragically. 03:21 Now, with the breakup of this current government's policies of the United States, saudi Arabia has basically bailed out of the Abraham Accords and has sided with China regarding its condemnation of Israel. This is a shocker, but don't worry it. According to the book of Ezekiel, saudi Arabia will have a turn of thought because in the book of Ezekiel, they will become an ally to Israel in that future battle. So we'll keep an eye on that. Obviously, the United States we'll talk more about that. England, france, and now… the nation of Taiwan. These nations that I've just mentioned are either directly involved or in support of, or falling victim to, the nations I've just mentioned to you. Right now, taiwan is on the cusp of it being gone. China is about ready to walk into Taiwan. They will probably wait a little bit longer, until the United States is fully depleted of military capabilities to defend Taiwan. 04:37 However, we'll see what the Lord has in store Church. Mark this down, if you would. We're gonna call it number one and as I begin to look at number one, it's this what do we know for sure? I will both give scripture and I will give commentary. This is what we know for sure is that what is going on right now in Israel was inevitable Because of the Islamic doctrine that you've been hearing for years, but you didn't pay attention to it, and it predominantly came out of Iran. 05:10 That fueled its proxies, such as ISIS, hezbollah in the North and Lebanon and, in some degree, hamas in the South, among other terrorist groups. They had a chant Death to America and death to Israel. They've been chanting this since I've been a kid, and one of those things is that we are not gonna stop until Israel is driven into the Mediterranean and there's no Jews alive. I'm not making this up, ladies and gentlemen, you just don't wanna hear it. It is their agenda and it's published. It's preached in mosques around the world on Fridays. We don't wanna know that, as Westerners. 06:00 Mikhail Gorbachev said before the Soviet Union fell, mikhail Gorbachev told the Supreme Soviet. He said we need to make sure, and capitalize on this fact, that the Americans do not want to know. We don't wanna know stuff like this. We just wanna have two days off. We wanna go to Disneyland from time to time and pray that the Rams win a game. We're a people occupied with distractions, and the hour now is upon us that the distractions can no longer be part of our lives. 06:46 So what do we know for sure? Well, number one is that Israel is mentioned in the Bible by the very mouth of God himself Israel, the name is not an invention. Genesis, chapter 32, verse 28,. Moses writes and he said your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed. Genesis, the book of Genesis. In the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, genesis, god says regarding Jacob I'm not going to call you Jacob anymore, I'm going to call you Israel. So the first time it appears in the Bible, you mark that down. You remember that, everybody. 07:37 The Bible is God's communication, it's God's megaphone. The Bible is God's message to mankind. It's validated, it's confirmed. The Bible's not going anywhere, friends. You can burn every Bible in the world, it doesn't change God's eternal truth. You can't stop the Bible. You can kill every Jew and every Christian and burn every Bible, it doesn't stop God's truth. God's truth is eternal and he gave us his word in the Bible. And if you burn the Bible, it doesn't stop God's truth. He's going to do it anyway. 08:07 The Bible says God is not a man, that he should lie. Isn't that great. I love that. But God says he says he invents the word Israel. 08:17 Deuteronomy. Are you ready? Write small Deuteronomy, chapter 4, verse 29. And from there you will seek the Lord, your God. He's speaking to Israel and you will find him if you seek him with all of your heart, with all of your soul. 08:30 My Jewish friends, gentiles, muslims, why don't you decide today to seek God with all of your heart and with all of your soul? Because that's what God requires when you are in distress and all these things come upon you in the last days, when you turn to the Lord, your God, and obey his voice. For the Lord, your God, is a merciful God. He will not forsake you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them. Did he ask them to swear to him? No, the God of the Bible swore to the fathers of the people of Israel known as the Jew. 09:13 And today I want to give you this warning, before anybody tunes us off or turns us off or gets out and walks out and says you know what? I'm a New Testament Christian. I live in the New Testament era. Listen, what in the world are you talking about? You have no New Testament promises without the God of the Old Testament keeping his promises. If he doesn't keep his promises to Israel, he cannot, will not, has no obligation to keep any promise to you. Remember the Bible says that the Gentile has been grafted into his salvation. The Bible says don't boast against the root. Remember that People are not getting. Listen. I know people are going to call me and write me about this message. I'm not going to answer. Just listen to the message again. Just listen to it again and again and again. Isaiah 42, verse 9,. Behold the former things have come to pass, says God. New things I declare before they spring forth. I tell you of them. The God of the Bible knows the future in advance, everything that's going on right now. 10:15 Yes, it's horrible to see what's happening. Let me be honest, I'm going to be very honest. It's horrible what's happening in Israel. It's horrible what's happening to children and women and soldiers and citizens and old ladies and old men. It's horrible. It's also horrible of what's happening to the people that are in Gaza. It's all listen, there are Christians in Gaza. They're Christians in Gaza, they live there, but they're not listen. They've got to hide from the Muslims and they've got to stay away from the Jews. They can't interface with the Jews because the Jews don't like them. They're basically living in no man's land. They'll get killed if their Christianity is found out. But know this that in the whole mix, my heart goes out to everybody who is sincerely involved, versus a perpetrator. Who's involved. There are those who are using the Palestinian people for their war effort. 11:14 I do not have the time. I'm going to. I'm not going to do all your homework for you. It's too much. I'm not kidding. You should see the data I left back in that room right now. Maybe we'll publish it somehow, but I don't want to do all the work for you. I'm going to make a statement. You go see if it's true. 11:28 The Lieutenant Commander of Hamas said the Jews love life and that's their weakness. They want to live. That makes them weak. We want to die. That makes us strong. That's why, when we use our women and children in battle, they are the heroes who die before us. 11:53 Who thinks like that? Demons, devilish doctrines Because not the Bible? Say that in the last days, doctrines of demons and evil spirits of teaching will permeate the world. We read a moment ago that Jesus said watch out, because there's going to be false teachers in the last days. What kind of a mindset hides behind women and children to execute their war? The logic that says it's okay if they die. It's okay if I lose my wife, I'll just get another one If I lose four of them. If I lose one, I got three, I'll get another one. My kids. They die in the cause. They're not casualties of war, they're actually believed to be warriors, says the Lieutenant Commander of Hamas. 12:43 Isaiah 66, verse 8. Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such a thing? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day, or shall a nation be born in a day? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children. You can write down right next to Isaiah 66, verse 8, you can write down May 14th 1948. There's Northern Asian listen, skeptic Northern Asian in the history of mankind that it has had its rebirth in one day, except Israel. Northern Asian, the moment May 48th 1948 happened, may 14th 1948 happened. The moment that that happened, god's stopwatch started again. Right now, gentiles in this world, we're living on borrowed time the church of Jesus Christ and the earth. This is the first time in human history that Israel and the church have existed at the same time, which means God's about ready to go to work with Israel, if you know your Bible, and he's about ready to be done with the church on earth. It's a remarkable time you and I are living in and we ought to be looking up, as Jesus told us to be. 13:54 Zechariah, chapter 12, this is, by the way, if you don't know your Bible, this is all Old Testament prophets we're talking about here. These are the Hebrew prophets. Zechariah 12, verse 2 says Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people or nations round about, and the nations shall be in siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day, I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the nations. All that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces though all the people or the nations of the earth be gathered together against it. Is that amazing, everybody? How many rivers does Jerusalem have flowing through it? Zero. Does Jerusalem have oil? None. Is there an airport in Jerusalem? No, is it? You name it? It ain't got it. You know what? In fact, when it rains in Jerusalem, rocks grow. 14:54 The Bible says the epicenter city of the world I know it's hard for Americans to believe this it's not Hollywood, it's not LA, it's not New York, it's Jerusalem. And these are fat. Isaiah is nearly 3,000 years old from our day, right here, right now. And the Bible says in the last days, jerusalem's going to be the issue. My friends, it's not Gaza, it's not the Palestinian people. The target's Jerusalem. 15:27 For a reason Isaiah 43, verse 3. Isaiah 43, verse 3 says for I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt for your ransom, ethiopia and Sheba in your place. Yet you were precious in my sight, you have been honored and I have loved you. Therefore, I gave men for you and people for your life. Fear not, for I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east and gather them from the west. I will say to the north, give them up. And to the south, do not keep them back. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth. See, god's a Zionist. It means he's gonna build up his land of Zion. He's doing it, he's been doing it and nothing's going to stop him from doing it, even this war that's going on right now. 16:22 You think God is waking up and saying, oh my goodness, how did this happen? He knows everything. I understand the suffering is hard to handle, but we're not God and, by the way, let me say this we've been created in the image of God. If we care about the suffering, he cares about it infinitely amount more. We just don't deal with it like he does. When he listen, abraham says in the end, abraham said shall not the Lord of all of the earth do well or do right or do what is right? Right now, you and I wanna call the shots. God says sit down, I got this. Well, how can this be happening? He answers In the book of Deuteronomy. He answers In many other places. He answers Don't worry, it's not over until it's over. And he's the one that determines that. 17:17 God is in control of time. And Jesus said there'll be wars and rumors of wars, but does that not describe this moment? We're in Isaiah 59, verse 21,. As for me, says Yahweh this is my covenant with Him, my spirit who is upon you, and my words, which I've put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants. Descendants Says Yah or Yahweh, yehovah, from this time and forevermore. Somebody say amen to that? Our God is alive, he's real and he has a name. His name is Yah or Yahweh Salvation. And he says I will not turn anyone away who comes to me.
