Transcript

Real life presents the Jack Hibb's podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. But the problem is all these people that want to speak authoritatively about what happened in Israel, many of them won't be able to name even a single party beyond la Houd. They don't even have a part of it works. This is one of the things James that concerns me. Islam is a geopolitical, theocratic umbrella that covers not just religion. It's all of these other things that go down to the very end of your life's existence. You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibs.com slash podcast. Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings. To us, that's like saying, amen or yes, 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 Hibb's. Hey, we want to welcome you to the podcast and we have a great guest with us, an old friend, an old friend, but not only an old friend, but a contemporary warrior, which I love. Pastor James Cadiz, Pastor's Calvary Chapel, Signal Hill, a Long Beach, California, and not far from you, actually. He's doing an amazing job. I love this guy. Always standing for the truth. I got to tell you, James, you're precious to me because my wife loves you because you're always defending me and assaulting the media square. I never get involved. I never, I'll post something and walk away and apparently when I post something, sometimes there's like a mushroom cloud and I walk away and everybody's hair is on fire and then James Cadiz comes along and says, hey, listen, I know Jack and he's not a woman. Oh, yeah, no, I have a lot of fun with that. And I will tell you what, look, I have to say this because, you know, technically I'm not a Gen Zier, but I am technically like the younger generation. Yeah, you are. And the one thing I will tell you is that I have an immense amount of respect for you. I really truly believe this and I don't mind it going on the record. You're one of the last of the Mohicans for lack of a better term. I think you're the real deal. I love how God has made you. I love the fact that you can get out there and not care about what anybody thinks. Well, we can't do it. We can't do that. That's, that's not what we're cut out to do. Amen. Egyptian. Yes. But born, first generation, born U.S. Yeah. So my mom and my dad are both born and raised in Egypt. My grandfather, who was my father's father, was a pastor in New York. That's normally how it works. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I have to, I have to create the delineation to understand. Okay. You'll get it. The, the father who's on my dad's side, my dad's father, was a pastor in Egypt for 65 years. Wow. He's a Presbyterian minister, one of the most famous pastors in Egypt, all 65 years of his life. Every single day that he was in ministry, all 65 years he was in ministry, he prayed that someone from his bloodline would become a pastor. Right around the time he passed away here in the United States, I got involved in ministry. My other grandfather, who's my mom's father, was a pastor in Egypt for 35 years. He was a Baptist minister, okay? So I come from a very rich heritage of godly people. My mom was a missionary in Yemen and Gaza. That's why I, I know quite a bit based on what my mom stories are about everything going on in the southern portion of the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt all over the Middle East. It's like I was raised with stories about all of that because it's my heritage. So the language also was, it was the second language we spoke Arabic and so when I was in Bible college and we learned Bible languages, that wasn't very difficult because it was part of a sort of par for the course. So yeah, a very, very rich heritage and it all came from, and by the way, my grandfather loved Israel and as a matter of fact during the 73 and 67 war, he wouldn't allow my dad or any of his siblings to listen to Egyptian radio. She said, you're not allowed to listen to Egyptian radio, they're lying about Israel. They're lying about Israel, listen to Israeli radio if you want to know the truth about what's happening. Wow. No joke. This is why they're in the Sinai. That's incredible. Yeah. That is awesome. Yeah. Absolutely. So I have a pretty rich heritage by God's grace. I didn't realize that. Yeah. That's amazing. So with all this going on in the world, this is dive in on this. As you and I sit here right now, there are tens of thousands of Marines and Airmen and Navy personnel and on and on the list goes. And we've got over now, over one third of the US military might, that makes me a little nervous by the way. We've got, we've got that one third plus might either in the Mediterranean, which has the choke points of the Gulf or the point of Gibraltar, right? And then the other half of that is in the Arabian area, most specifically, they've already passed in through predominantly the straight of Hormuz. Yes, that's right. In other words, we've got a massive contingency of US military might, the best of the best aircraft there in mass. But I'm really nervous, James, about those choke points. We may be successful in dealing with whatever, but we've got to get out of those choke points, which is, it's got, you know, undersea mines, position, there's all kinds of problems. Now we hear that China has brought in this rocket that flies supersonic, that you can launch it from a, from a three-man crew, all these kinds of things. All that said, here we are on the American side. Our nation is talking about geopolitical issues and this war, but Islam, the death cult that it is, and the Shia, if I remember right, out of Iran, they're not thinking geopolitical as much as Islam is a geopolitical thing, they're thinking, hey, let's light this candle because if we blow things up, our money can come back. We can, we can turn the world on fire and that will bring back our Messiah. That's their eschatology. What's, what's say you? Well, there's a lot to say here. So just addressing the concern with the third of our assets being in the Middle East, one of the things that we don't completely ever compute is we've always had something to that equivalent in that immediate area. Now granted, this is more than we've ever seen since at least 2003, maybe, both one and Gulf two. That's right. Definitely. But you have to understand how to frame it, which you clearly do, a matter of fact I listened to a portion of your Bible study last night, you've got three major areas that you have to think about. The first area is of course the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz. That's a big problem. And then obviously as you go from the Indian Ocean and back into one area that doesn't get talked about a lot and that's the area of the Red Sea. And when you get into the Red Sea and you go further north, you still have the Horn of Africa, which is a great concern, especially where you see Djibouti and Aretria and all of these other areas, little Somalia as they would call it Somali land, which by the way is significant for Israel because of their military position that they've just acquired by being able to be there. And then when you start thinking about these Ezekiel 38 alliances, the southern portion of the Arabian Peninsula becomes very, very significant, especially Yemen. And then if you really want to frame how spooky this problem can be, it's an overwhelming majority of the trade, even the trade that would go through the Strait of Hormuz had to go around the southern portion of the Arabian Peninsula up through the Red Sea and through the, literally all the way further north into the resources that we have in the Suez Canal, all the way through there into the Mediterranean, out into the Atlantic Ocean. Now there's a lot of very tricky areas here and Saudi Arabia has a lot to do with this because they're trying to, in essence, effectively eliminate the trade path that exists through the Suez Canal. They're incentivizing Egypt to do it by paying them a significant amount of money. This is why this aligned construction is happening right now. A lot of things that people are not paying attention. Yeah. And they're not all, no one's paying attention to El Fah, which is in essence the southern portion of Iraq. It's a peninsula, the southern portion of Iraq, which is a massive trading post that they're, in essence, building up, which they're doing all of this while slowly beginning to rebuild what we will call modern day Babylon. So to that point, modern day Babylon, according to Revelation 17 and 18, that's very significant. Yes. That said, where are your thoughts on this? How could a modern day Babylon be formed with Iran being the way that they are with the Khomeini's and all of this? Well, this is an easy one. This one, for me, actually, I think understanding it the way you understand it, you have to realize what the Bible tells us about Ilam. And this is the, this is the issue that a lot of people don't consider because there was a promise that was made eventually to Ilam that never came true until 79 or so that they would, in essence, become separated in essence. I mean, like literally God was going to disperse the Iranian people throughout the whole world. And just like the Jews, the Persians have gone everywhere. This is why the people of Israel feel so close to the people of Persia instead of Khomeini and Khomeini who's ruling right now. And then when we start talking about the death cult and what Islam is built on, that's a whole other ball of wax because let's just assume that Islam is predicated upon the foundations of what a lot of people call a separate world religion. It's not. It's a heresy of Christianity. If you even look at the most accepted, widely accepted, exit manuscripts that we have of the Quran, the most recent one that we have is going to be dated to the, or the most oldest one that we have is going to be dated near the time of the Ottoman Empire. That's right. And even the name Mohammed is an in the Quran. When you see the word Mohammed, that's what you see in the Quran. It's used four times and you can arguably say that it's actually referencing Christ. And so you have to think about it like that. And then let's just assume the Quran stands as they say it does, which are 90,000 variants of it based on Arabic language. Exactly. It's just completely broken. Our first jaysmiths. Jaysmiths. He gets it. He does a perfect job with it. But let's just assume for one second that all of that is true. How in the world would you like to believe a cult that actually tells you and it's right there? You can open it up in the Quran and you can read it. Which basically means they deceived indirectly referring to the Jews. So Allah deceived because Allah is the chief of deceives. The whole thing is built on deception. Deception. Now is it Takiya or Hudna or Hudna is the word that's used for deception. It's a Hudna same idea. Hudna is a little different from Takiya. Takiya is in essence the lying aspect. The Hudna is the idea that I can lie to advance. I can lie to advance the cause. And once we're big enough then we can take it all by force. That's an essence what we're talking about here. So it's predicated upon deception. When you even look at the eschatological bent of Iran, which represents roughly 5% of Islam the Shiites, their eschatology is like some weird twisted form of what we would read partially in Ezekiel 38. It's really, really weird and when we start talking about the 12th and man, I mean most of these people don't even understand what any of that means. And it's hilarious to me because you see these people defending Islam. You see these people running around and saying, well, look at Qatar. It's a beautiful place. It's wonderful. Actually, you have no idea what you're talking about. El Han Omar is one of my favorite ones. It's like you liar. You talk about having a better life if you were to be in your country right now in Islam, the country they would kill you. For what she says in America, and what she did recently at the time. Stayed in the Union, hilarious. If she did that in her country, they would have had her head. She wouldn't even be in a whole like that. She wouldn't even make it wearing her hijab, her fake hijab while she's breaking every single sharia law that you can even think about. So I just think I'm trying to convince people like to understand when you run around and you say what they, when you repeat an English, what they say in Arabic, when they say in shahda, butter, when they talk about from the river, the sea, you're angry because you say that Jews are creating a condition which leads to genocide in Gaza, when in reality they are calling for the genocide of not only all Jews, but all Americans. All Muslims. In total. In essence, the first two target is going to be Americans and Israel, then of course it's get them all to submit or not, and they don't understand it, you know. These people wake up in the morning and they wake up to hearing, it's Salat al-Haram al-Rusul Allah. It's one of their prayers. Oh, it's better to pray than to sleep, you know, and God, Allah is greater and Muhammad is his prophet. Well, the problem is, and it's a big problem, most people don't even understand what that means. When they're on these campuses of Columbia and they're saying these words, it's like, first of all, you say it like you've never spoke Arabic a day in your life because you haven't number one, but the number two, you don't even understand the full implication of what you're communicating. You don't even know what river is and what sea is. No, most of the time they don't know what river and what sea is. They don't know the difference between the Euphrates, to the Jordan, to the Mediterranean, to the Colorado. They don't know any of that. I mean, and it's amazing. They choose to be ignorant because the God of this world could be to blind them. There you go, because I believe what you're saying, where you see people that are just rabid, infested in the mind crazy, spouting things off where, in the last days, our scriptures prophesied, there'll be doctrines of demons and lying spirits. And I do believe we're saying that. Absolutely. If somebody were to come up to me and say, when you think that's going to happen, well, first of all, how do you think somebody breaks into your house? So does he come in with a bullhorn and a trumpet? Yeah. No, they sneak in. That's right. And it is already snuck in. Some of these Hollywood crazies or some of these podcast lunatics that have gone anti-Semitic, pro-Islamic so much so I want to buy land and cutter or whatever. They have no idea. I want to buy a house and cutter. Yeah, good luck. There are more Christians in Qatar than there are in Israel. Can I just say this? Amen. Tucker, even though you didn't know the number, you were right about that. There's close to 400,000 Christians in Qatar. None of them are citizens. No, he didn't know that number. He didn't know that number. How come? I'll come. How come he challenged him on it? Or Ted Cruz? Oh, you got me. Oh, you got me. Oh, what about remember that? Remember that Ted Cruz thing? Oh. How many people live in Iran? I don't know. You're a sitting senator and you don't know him. No, it's like, seriously, Tucker, how many people live in Canada? Those facts are uniquely superfluous. Yeah. In fact, you make a claim like the claim you just made where you said you want to put it out on the table that so many more. But you know what? He might be right in one sense. If Israel, when Israel became a nation, when it first started, there were 35,000 Christians in the country. There is now close to 180,000 Christians in the country, okay? Now let's go. Let's back up for a second. In Qatar, there's almost 400,000 Christians in the country. But guess what? They're tied down six churches where they cannot see anything. They are not citizens. They're not allowed to be citizens. These are the people that are brought into the slave trade from countries like the Philippines and other places where they're going and they're actually serving these shahs and many of these other people because here's the thing that people don't recognize about places like Qatar, UAE and many other places. Well, UAE, these nations that are now America is flirting with and sadly doing a lot of business with. 100%. It's a dance with the devil, 100%. Here we are as a nation, U.S. saying, we need to stop human trafficking. We need to stop pornography and you're doing business and building things and doing trade deals with those nations in that area that are the epicenter of human slave trade market. And we said, no, no, that's not possible. It's Islamic. Listen, I've been told by Middle Eastern. If you want to go to the, if you want to go to the Vegas of the Middle Eastern world, you go to those, those, you go to the Dubai, Dubai, I was shocked to learn that Dubai is really the international playground of Epicurian delights. It's the truth. I had no idea. It's the truth. And with all the lying that goes on and all the deception with respect to what's happening relationally in the Middle East, it's interesting. I know with what the president is doing right now, it's a very complicated, ball of wax. Sure. Because there's a lot of people who will look at geopolitically what he's doing and say he's hugely erroneous for doing it. He's turning his back on Israel because he's making the decisions. But a lot of people don't really understand the mindset of Middle Eastern culture. That's right. And they don't recognize the fact that these people in the Middle East do respect power. The big problem that the president had in his first term was when the election was literally stolen. I hate to say that. But when that actually happened, everybody in the Middle East who were the, who literally were the enemies of Iran lost their confidence in their ability to be able to maintain security. So we're talking about all of the members of the GCC with the exception of Qatar. And so when that all happened, it was like every man for himself. So president Trump saying he's going to Saudi Arabia for his first trip was actually an act of genius in the sense that he recognized the need for the royal family of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, especially Mohammed bin Sadman, to rally up the truth, especially those in the GCC to begin to make these deals. And then the go to them and basically say, look, you guys can work with me, I would love to do it. We're going to give you everything you need. We're going to help you with security. We're going to do this. We're going to do that. But here's the thing. I'll go to, I'll go to Israel if we're not going to, if you're not going to give me what I need, right? Dance with me or I'll dance with you. And so the idea behind that is, that was very well orchestrated. He did that on purpose. And as a matter of fact, when you start looking at what's going on with Al-Shada with Hayat al-Shem, that was the, I refuse to call him Al-Shada, I'm just saying it for reference. I always refer to him as Muhammad al-Julani because that was his original name when he was the terrorist running HTS in Syria. Look, there's a method to the madness of what he did there. He puts on a suit. Yeah. Now he's the guy. But I understand why Trump allowed that because when the fall of Bashar al-Assad took place in Syria, you have to understand the, where is he now in Russia, in Russia, but you have to understand the strategic component in that happening. The president was able to aptly recognize the fact that this was definitely Erdogan who had his hand in this, especially knowing that the PKK was going to be disbanded, which was his arch enemies in Turkey. And then not to mention the fact that when you start looking at Turkey as a whole, to think about the idea that not only were the PKK disbanding, but then you have the Islamic brotherhood factions that were his, his people beginning to come together. And then the president was, I think, very wisely playing that, understanding it because if you stop for a moment to look at what he's doing with allowing Turkey to do what they did with Syria, even if it means putting Jalani in place, he's making a play on trying to bring some prominence to the Kurds to the North, which is a very tricky and highly debatable issue. Very, very, it's a very dicey issue, it's very dicey. And then the goal in heights is a dicey issue, but what becomes very unique and very apparent to anybody who understands the geopolitics of the region is the fact that the president of the United States created a condition by which the transformation that's taking place in that region allows him to do something that he tried to do in his first term, but he couldn't. And that is the reversing of what we all call the out of spring, because Obama's policy and ruined completely with what he did with Libya all the way from Tripoli to Benghazi, which we're all very familiar with that. And which is amazing to me that Hillary walks through it's after that. Beyond provable, culpable, all very obvious, all very obvious. And when you look at what, even when you look at what strategy Israel has been taking in their geopolitics in the expansion of their diplomatic relations beyond that, which would be deemed the Abrahamic Covenants, the Abrahamic Accords, Covenants, how you translate it from the language, but look at what he did in Morocco. He goes to Morocco and he says, we declare the conflict that you have with Western Sahara to be an essence part of what Morocco has a right to. Then they go to the Baltics and they're making relationships with people in the Baltics and then Azerbaijan. Look at what's happening over there. Azerbaijan is practically an Israeli proxy right now for the good. For the good. So you see all of this beginning to happen. You look at the corruption that's going on in Israel right now and there is a ton of corruption. And by the way, BB Netanyahu is not the corrupt one. The one who's corrupt. It's so similar. What's happened here in Israel is duplicate. How do we say? Deep state. The demonic deep state that cries and screams, BBs, homo or BBs, you know, eats dogs. We need to impeach him. We need to get him out. It's the same. It correlated and paralleled the whole Trump or deals with the Democrat machine and deep state. I mean, the head of their Shabbat at the time that October 7th happened. He's an embarrassment. Wow. He's shame on him. Absolutely. He didn't inform BB. There was a lot of things that happened there. The judicial system was working directly against BB and the condescent at the time, which were beginning to find evidence of that already. The guy who was supposed to be BBs closest guy who is in essence the security chief. This is the guy who is supposed to be the equivalent of our defense minister. Actually, we call him not the minister or the secretary of war, you know, and then you even look at the head of the IDF and you understand the IDF chief at the time. The kind of betrayal against his country, against his people. So people all look at what happened to BB and act in Yahoo. And everybody, the whole world ought to thank their God that BB was there when it all happened. 100%. Oh my gosh. So there's a lot to say there. The problem is all these people that want to speak authoritatively about what happened in Israel. Many of them won't be able to name even a single party. They don't even know how the parliament works. This is one of the things, James, that concerns me. You know, we pray that Trump's got great advisors. I think maybe sometimes Trump or the, you know, I say this with hesitation because I'm not going to mention this guy's name, but the first presidency of Donald Trump, this guy that I know was involved very much. And then once Trump was sworn in, he was in the White House in the Oval Office every Thursday. And so about a month after the election, I got a chance to be in DC and we had dinner and I asked him, what's it like? What's it like being in the, the new White House and the new Oval Office? And what's he like? What's Trump like? And he was, his word was great. He said, this is what I've learned in short period of time. You never, in your life, ever want to play poker with Trump. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You will lose. 100%. You will lose. 100%. And so you look around at what's going on at this time and I have to tell you because I'm old enough, I look back and I have these hauntings of the buffoonery of, for example, George Bush, the son and his attitude toward the Middle East. And he thinks, this is how you do things in the Middle East. And he had no idea, he had horrible advisers and the whole thing was a debacle, obviously. I'm hoping Trump is, why is there no all that? I hope that Trump has got good counsel regarding the Middle East. But what's remarkable to me and to our viewers is that here we are talking about the trending news of the moment and it's all biblical nations. You mentioned Alam earlier, which is Persia, which is Iran, Israel, Egypt. You talked about Yemen, you talked all about these places. We're talking, I mean, I don't, honestly, how can people remain to be unbelievers at a time like this because it's like, wait a minute, I want to know what tomorrow is going to be like. I better read my Bible today. Amazing. I believe that pastors should be the best geopolitical analysts alive. I believe that. They should because if you know the Bible and you understand Bible prophecy, you are going to be able to very uniquely analyze what is happening and what to expect. Very well said. And that's why people like me and you took a stand against us standing with Ukraine, giving the money, going into because we know where Russia ends up. We know where it goes. So when we start talking about energy and what that's all going to mean, I mean, even even in my own personal financial activities, if I'm trading something or if I'm making an investment somewhere else, I very much take the biblical account into play. So you know, you know where things are going to go. Russia's not going to weaken. There's no way that the Russian Federation is going to continue to grow and their energy policy seems to continue to come. Has anybody watched Orban lately? Has anybody watched what he just did to the EU? No. Well, first of all, I watch him. I love him. What did he say? What did he do? He basically told me to shove off. Okay. I was expecting that. And the next. The guy's amazing. Yeah. And the next set of the next set of conditions that they wanted to throw against sanctions. Sorry, I was looking for the word sanctions that they wanted to throw against Russia. Orban said we're not doing it. So they he used two of his vetoes to completely shut it down. Okay. And so what that basically did was it single handedly strengthened the energy position that Russia has always had, especially because Europe didn't listen to Trump last last and first term. Right. And they created dependency upon Russia, laughing at it. Nord Stream. No big deal. Nord Stream. All of that. All of that. Completely believe in that they were okay. And that Trump was a joke. He doesn't understand geopolitics. He's an idiot when it comes to Europe. That's what they were all saying. But they didn't realize the genius in that man. And they still don't want to accept it. That's right. And that we're in that situation right now. I could have told you without any of that. Isn't it amazing? Based on what the Bible says. I remember yelling at my TV back in the Bush era, but he couldn't hear me. The Iraqis don't want to have a democracy. They don't want to have a republic. You don't understand. They have to have a leader over them. It's the only way they think. But you see them vote with the purple thumbs and it's like, it's not good to work. I was sitting in my living room conducting geopolitical strategies, what they did was such a huge error. It's the same with Kadoffi. Kadoffi. Exactly. Same kind of thing. Let me get this straight. You managed to get the leader of Libya to say he's going to fight terrorist factions and actually does it while giving up his nuclear capacity. And then you're going to kill him for it, Hillary. It couldn't have been better, but Obama and Hillary absolutely flips. And then, and then these ignorant, foolish podcasters that don't know their heads from their butts. They had a stick to business, the median's butt is a Hebrew word for it. I'm sorry. I said to say, but it's like you, you now, Tucker just did this. You now want to blame Israel for forcing the United States of America to go into Iraq. When in reality, Israel did everything it could to stop America from going into Iraq, because it knew the level of instability it would create, not only with Syria, but everything else that would take place. And sure enough, look at what happened. But yeah, but the precursor to Iraq was the 9-11 attack. And Israel, the precursor of the attack. Israel had been warning the United States by a hotel. We have evidence, we have information. They are going to strike your cities. They are going to strike your Pentagon. And we didn't listen. And that now, people who don't know that, it's because they don't want to know that. Because Israel, as they've made it clear, we were telling you guys. And we didn't take that seriously. Well, the problem is people develop these attachments and these relationships to these podcasters and think somehow that they take an authoritative stance when in reality they don't understand fact. They're fictional. And we know some of these, they're name droppers, you know, they're all the casualties. But they're just evil. Look, I was at a gathering recently where I was asked to go speak, and I was honest, all of these really famous people. And it was just hilarious to me how little all of them actually knew, how little they knew about the Bible, even though claiming to be Bible students, how little they actually knew about what was really going on. Most of them wouldn't be able to sit at a round table like this and have a real conversation about what's going on because they don't really follow it. They don't know the Bible. Like, it's amazing to me because what's popular right now is to say I'm a Christian. And then in the name of Jesus, like, can I give you one example of this? This is like such an important principle to bring up. I hear this being said a lot, Jesus is King. People say this a lot. Jesus is King. Everybody gets mad that a part of this crowd that think we should be able to say it on a regular basis. Would it shock people if I told everybody that, theologically, you're saying something that you don't understand when you make that statement signing things off? Because here's the thing. When people say Jesus is King, they are right now saying that Jesus is King over the church which has replaced Israel. Jesus becoming King as part of the Davidic covenant happens at the end of Revelation. They have no, well, they, he's our priest right now. James, they can't, they have to think like that because they've not read the book of Revelation. That's right. And if they read it, they would know it because they don't read their Old Testament. That's right. And he's our priest right now. And that's the thing. People, people don't get that. And that, and because there's a whole, there's a whole thing that, I talk about this by the way, in my Revelation book, but there's this whole thing where people don't understand. Look, you can never know the book of Revelation well unless you know the Old Testament. And the Old Testament gives you so much insight as to how you should actually look at this. When we, when, here's a great example, the author of Hebrews does something really important. It's really, really critical what he does. I, I think it's Paul. We do. We do. The argument that Christ is superior in every aspect, every superior to the angels, he's superior to this. One of the arguments that he makes it's really important for us as believers is that he is the superior priest. Now, the question that everybody has is how can he, and these are, this is a legitimate question that Jewish people are asking. How can he be the legitimate priest when he's from the tribe of Judah? Like, how does that work? Well, the argument that the Apostle Paul makes is he says, listen, he came from a different He came from the Milch, he's a deque in line. He didn't come from the Aaronic priesthood. That's right. That's when Jesus said, His words in Abraham was, I am. Those guys knew exactly what was being spoken about. Okay, exactly. So it's the same thing if you understand that then it begins to make sense. I mean, it's just like Jesus going to the Pharisees and basically saying, you missed this thy day. Like you should have noticed. You were to go in, same thing. You guys all should have got out and lined the path and said, man, this is the day, Daniel made it so clear. To the day. To the day from the declaration to restore and rebuild. 69 weeks, think about that. Exactly. 483 years times 360 days, 178,880 days from March 14th, 444 BC when Art Exercise Langemanus makes a declaration in Nehemiah chapter 2, which brings you to March 29th, 33 AD, which literally was the day that Jesus wrote into the city of Yavush Al-Alam and they were bowing down and doing all that and then a few days later it's killed. Yeah. Yeah. They should have known it. They should have known that as much as they should have known Isaiah 53 that the end of this week where Daniel made it clear the same prophecy. 100%. James, I mean, you and I know this, but the same prophecy of Daniel, you don't even have to go to Isaiah 53. Daniel 9, 24 to 27 tells you that whoever this one is, that is going to come, that is the anointed one, that is Israel's Messiah. He's going to be cut off for a capital offense. What? Yeah. Jesus declared himself to be God, but they did not believe it, thus they had a kangaroo court to get him under that cross. And yet we know from Peter announcing the Book of Acts, that he was crucified by our own wicked hands, but God in his foreknowledge knew in advance. And this is a wonderful thing that even all of the drama whereby God is so awesome that what God knows, he knows all things in advance because he's eternal. And yet Judas was fully responsible for his actions. He wasn't pre-programmed to betray Jesus. God, who's outside time knew in advance that when the cards played, Judas would do this thing. Thus Judas is responsible for his action, but God knew all things. And it's absolutely awesome and stunning. So fast forwarding, so we're in this situation. And I got to say, as of today, it's 4.29 p.m. Pacific time. We don't know what's going to happen in the next five minutes in the Middle East. Can I take what I have a feeling is going to happen even though we're airing it? I was going to ask you, we should probably do a couple of takes to say, yesterday. Yeah, yeah. We should go. We should. Because I actually think he's going to attack on Purim. Oh, I've heard this. Yeah. And here's a reason why Trump, that would happen to be the day after the deadline he created. And the last time he attacked was the day after the deadline he created you guys. So I mean, I've heard this. It's so beautiful that it's like, no, there's no way I can happen because it's so obvious. But you know what? I know. I mean, maybe he's not going to do it that day because it's, maybe it's like, I know obviously. You just got to wonder if some president Trump, if you're going to do it, do it the day after. I mean, could you imagine? It would be really amazing. Nobody's something. I mean, one thing I know for a fact with respect to President Trump, and we know this from a mutual friend, a couple of mutual friends, he doesn't take it lightly when he's told that he's a modern day Cyrus, you know? I don't know if he's walking with the Lord. But I think that it's tough because right now there's a lot of very, we need to pray for him. There's a lot of influences that are in his ear right now that are working very hard and don't even know it to take his eyes off the spiritual issues, especially when it comes to some of the people that are part of the faith advisory group. Don't go there. Yeah, I know. I know. Yeah, I mean, go there. Yeah, I was just saying don't go there. Here's the thing. Let me make this statement without pointing any. There's a reason why I'm not in it. I get it. Yep, and I don't blame you for it. You have to have people that are filled with the spirit that are going to be doing this. 100% and right now that's not the case. That's not the case. The problem, what I'm praying happens with the president is that the president has somebody in his ear that will tell him, Mr. President, you have to look at what is biblical for the people that are advising you before you listen to the advice. So I can't encourage you with this. There's a person that was sitting very near to him the other night at the state of the union. A sold out brother who loves God more than his position. I know who you're talking about. You know, I've dropped enough hits. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A profound constitutional attorney who is not shy. In fact, I think, in fact, he's the most successful that we know of in American history in his position. That said, he will tell, he's fearless with Trump. He is fearless with Trump. Yeah, he has to be. He has to be. He's fearless with Trump. He says what's Bible and then he leaves it up to Trump but he'll always represent scripture. He has to be. He's the end of God. He's the real deal. Because right now, there's a lot of people that are in his ears that are, they earnestly desire to be known and they earnestly desire to have notoriety. More than they have a desire to tell the truth. They'll do anything to form a photo op. Yep. And by the way, I mean, this goes back to a lot of other issues. I mean, it shouldn't be that way with pastors, especially with pastors. It shouldn't be that way. We should be the people as pastors who not only are great examples in virtually every area of our lives, but we should learn what it means to be people who are not concerned with what? That means people think. That means we can't be concerned about being hated. Yep. Yep. Now, I think about that. And that's the same. You're going to be hated because they hated me. COVID did that for me. Yeah, it broke me of that desire. Yeah, it broke me of that desire. And it has been one of the most joyful, liberating, liberating, wonderful time. I mean, I am enjoying life now more than I ever have before because God gave me the opportunity to be put in such fire that I've been able to experience his hand, his miraculous hand in doing what he's done. And I'm honored to watch my beautiful bride and my children see their dad and know that their dad is the real person and to teach them what it means to truly love God. Yeah. You know, there's nothing better than that. And then to be able to live in the days in which we're living right now is just unbelievable. So our pastor, who's in heaven now, is like Smith. He, for him, he would do anything to be back here to be at such a time you could see me. These are the things he told us about. I remember hearing this in 82 or in 79 or in, you know, you name it when it was just like, what? And you and our living now. I know. And what's perhaps more consequential and more significant is the Calvary Chapel movement. And it's just a heartbreaking thought, right? But the Calvary Chapel movement, for whatever reason, somehow was raised on the idea, even though Chukton completely believed this. But we're raised on the idea that we step away from politics. We step away from what's happening here. We just read the Bible. We teach the word. We obey God. We let the spirit move. And then we don't have to worry about any of that stuff. When in reality, what God was doing in that early movement in the 60s was he was preparing people to wake up and to engage politically at that time. And many didn't. Most didn't. And yet to back up what you just said, Lisa and I have listened to Chuk's messages on YouTube, by the way, they're all there on YouTube. And it was, I think, late 90s where California had made another stupid decision. That's when they were just getting started on making super stupid decisions. Now they perfected it. That said, Chuk went off on a Thursday night Bible study. He went off. He did that a lot. On how we need to vote. You need to get out there and vote and get these crazies out of office by voting right. And a lot of pastors today, Calvary Chapel pastors today. Well, we were told by Chuk just to preach the gospel. That's not true. You weren't. Listen, that's the only church you weren't. That I ever knew and Chuk never said that. He never said, no, just preach the gospel. To be honest with you, I'm gonna get pushed back from this. But it's okay. The actual pastor that said, don't get involved in politics. Stay out of it. It's a dark kingdom. We don't belong there. Was actually John MacArthur. Yeah. John MacArthur was the one who said, stay out until he saw how bad it was affecting him. Until LA County came to almost seek to destroy his church during COVID. And then all of a sudden, John MacArthur loyered up and went to war against the politics by God's grace, they won. But that, that, that, that situation, Chuk never said that. In fact, this is pretty cool. David C. Cook, publisher, is published a book called Turn Around at Home, leaving a legacy, spiritual legacy, greater than what you received. Lisa and I wrote that book. And Chuck Smith, three months before he died, he wrote the four to that book. Okay. David, it's like, wow, this is what we, wow, we should, we should have had him just teach this at pastor's conferences, because a lot of people today say, no, that's not how it, that's not, that's not Calvary. They should take the time to read that forward. It's incredible. But that said, scenarios, let's play this out. I have no idea at what time it is. So, we're there in the Mediterranean Persian Gulf, all over the place. We've got huge assets there. Red Sea, Indian Ocean, everywhere. Red Sea, you name it. By the way, we just, this is kind of funny. Sorry, it's not really funny. Ironic, Europe that has been going headlong, weak need, capitulating to anything Islam wants in Europe. I heard the other day from, is it the, it's not, what's the title, Khomeini or? Yeah, Khomeini. Yeah, it's very, it's currently, yeah, the current one. Yeah, Khomeini is the, is the first one. Yeah, yeah. So, they're pronounced slightly differently. Okay. So, how do you pronounce this, this guy? Yeah, Khomeini. Okay, he said, we will be able to hit London. So, he says this, and all of a sudden, I didn't hear this, when was that statement released? It wasn't released. It was spoken to me by David Rosenberg in NRB. He said, hey, did you hear? Funny. All of a sudden, England calls up and says, you guys want to park any of your planes here in your staging? Isn't that hilarious? And we moved a truckload of B-52s. And F-22s. And F-22s. In fact, this is not a secret. You can find it if you look hard enough, but we had the chance here in Southern California. You know, it's pretty weird. Where we're sitting, right? Because California's so great. Yeah, oh yeah. You and I can head to the beach and we could have, we could have dinner in an hour at the beach. Oh, easily, easily. Or if we had an hour north from here, or north east from here, we go over those snow-capped mountains right now. I don't know. And we go to Edwards Air Force Base. Five specially rigged, we don't know of what? I don't know of what. Five specially rigged B-52s, which are not kept at Edwards. Yeah, yeah. But they're tricky B-52s. Those five went right off and went straight to, is it Lankersham in England? Oh, I didn't know. And they're parked. And they're specially rigged up B-52s. That said, England got all cuddly with us when they heard that they're in the crosshairs, or at least they were boasting we can get you guys in London. I find that interesting. With that said, we've got, we've got a belief system, even if Americans don't want to believe it. Those guys believe in serving their God to destroy the United States. And they believe that this buildup is not only God bringing in the Americans for slaughter, but I just quoted last night in the message where Khomeini said, the Persian Gulf will become the graveyard of American arrogance. Yeah, I heard that before, by the way. The Russians, a week or two ago, Russia and China, this is published, you can look it up. Russia and China told Iran, don't do anything. Hold back, yes, you've been spending weapons over time. Hold back, be patient, don't do anything. And from that time, there's been a constant flight of cargo going into Iran with a weapon tree from China and Russia. And submarines have shown up, warships have shown up. Now, fastboats have shown up. Yeah, China's rushing everything into the Russian Federation space. And then from the Russian Federation, they're going into Iran is what I'm hearing. That's right. Yeah, and it's crazy the way that that's all being staged. You have to go by a set of facts that are, that are built based to be able to understand what's going on. And some of these are contrary to what people are saying. But there's things that we know has to happen in order for certain things to take place. Like for example, Ezekiel 38 can't even be on the horizon until we have peace. There has to be, Israel has got to feel it on all villages. Right now they don't. There's no on-wall villages in Israel right now, right? They don't feel peaceful right now. Yeah, so that has to happen. And Persia has to be one of Israel's friends. So we have to, we have to go back to this pre-1979 kind of world. And I think the only way that happens is by Persians coming back into Iran as predicted. I have my Bible open to Jeremiah 49. Yeah. And I actually am one of the few. This is a, I know some people things like, yeah, I don't think Jeremiah 49 is the exact same thing as Ezekiel 38. I think they're separate. I'm glad you said that for this reason. And I'm open. But when I take Ezekiel 38, I like doing this by the way. It's just the way my brain works. Yeah. There's something way, way long ago when dinosaurs ruled the earth that we used to have transparent vellum or we had overhead projectors. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sure. Of course they remember those days. So you read history books. Yeah. So if you took, if you were showing something like a building or a, or whatever it might be, you would put that transparency overlaid them. Yeah. And you'd describe what the foundation is. And then you put B on top of A. Yep. And it begins to take shape. Yep. When you do that, and I encourage everyone to do that, take Ezekiel 38 and lay it on top of, of Jeremiah 49. And at some points, it's tracking. And then there's a divert, there's a bifurcation. It splits. And I don't think they're the same thing either. Yeah. Because there's people, so there's people right now that are saying that they don't like what Trump is doing with his board of peace because it's going to slow down the last time scenarios. Oh, like God's going to be manipulating. Yeah. Well, as always, going to be manipulated. I actually think it speeds it up in my mind. When I say that, I'm not, I know I know God's going time. But if peace comes the way it could potentially come, especially if, especially if Iran is held at bay. And this could happen. I mean, it's tricky, especially with what's happening in the Persian Gulf. The way the GCC is posturing itself right now against one of its own in Qatar, the rise of American presence in that area, the new trade route corridor, the withdrawal. This is a big one, right? We withdrew from a very important spot in Iraq, OK? Very, very important spot on that border area. And we gave it to the control of Zulani. And the land bridge corridor issue that goes to the north that everybody's been debated about is now becoming more viable for use, for regular trade amongst all these countries. And Saudi Arabia is at the helm of it all. They're funding it, they're paying for it. They want to run it. Why? Because Muhammad bin Sadman is not only recognizing the scholarship that's coming out of Pakistan and India regarding the Quran. And actually the existence of Mecca in the time of Muhammad, which they don't work, they were abandoned, right? It didn't even exist. It didn't work. So he's recognizing that the religious side of it is fixing to change a little bit. And that's why people like Tucker are very, very valuable in the hands of individuals in these areas. Because you have to be able to frame it differently. And the problem with Islam is that Islam is something to the average person who comes from the West inconceivable. That's right. They do not, we were there together. Me and you sat there, and we watched. These people get murdered. We saw a lot of things. They didn't show us those videos. We're sitting there together. The one thing that was different from me and virtually, everybody else except one other person in the room was that I could understand what they were saying in Arabic. And I don't know what bothered me more. I don't know if it was the images of these people getting killed, these innocent, precious babies. For a test. I mean, I don't know what bothered me more. Hearing that, watching that, seeing that, feeling that, or what they were saying in Arabic while they're doing it, they're quoting the Quran. They're saying Allahu Akbar. That's right. They do not, they say Allah is greater. Like they do not understand. Let's listen for our viewers. I want you to say that really carefully again. You just said Allah is greater. That's exactly what it translates. Say it slowly in Arabic. Allahu Akbar. Meaning Allahu Akbar. Meaning he is above all, greater than all. Yeah. Greater than who? Greater than everything. Our God greater than, which by the way, as Christians. Could you see my point? Yeah. As Christians, most of us, at least the ones that tend to be a little bit more educated by Uncle taught me this a lot of years ago, he says, we try to avoid using the word Allah. Because Allah is a name, it's not a title. So when we say God, we use other terms often times. Because when we use the term Allah, Allah is pointing very specifically to the father of lies, to the, to in essence, the false God is his people worship. Because Allah is God, right in Arabic. Yeah. Well, Allah over the years because of the influence of the, of the out of language. Most out-ups now in order to say God, they'll say Allah. Okay. And there's a certain draw like you'll be able to tell if it's a Christian saying it or if it's a Muslim saying it. And lots of Christians will say it, but it's not necessarily what is translated biblically. Because if you were to translate it, it's not even a transliteration. When you see Allah in the, in the Old Testament, Arabic Old Testament. Arabic Old Testament. Old Testament? Yeah. And Arabic Bible. Yeah. It's taking, it doesn't even, it's not even, it's not even a transliteration. Like, we'll see things like Jehovah. That's a transliteration. Yeah. We'll see Yahweh. We'll see different things like that. There's a, those are transliterations. You don't see that from the Arabic Bible. That was because of the Ottoman influence. That was because of the out of influence that they actually see a lot of that. So there's, there's a lot to be said about it. I oftentimes don't spend a lot of time talking about what they're called on says so much as the fact that it's not even a credible document. That's right. But it is an essence wrapped up in deception because the average Muslim apologist will attack Christianity. Of course. It's not deal with strengthening the foundation of their arguments because of foundation of their arguments is a heresy of Christianity, which is why they attack Christianity. Yeah. And that's a difficult thing for people. And that's wild too. A lot of people realize that their eschatological view of the end is that Muhammad returns Jesus is with him. Yeah. Isn't it even Mary? Yeah. Yes. Yes. And I often times is, uh, is, uh, as a, uh, um, aureum, which is Jesus and Mary. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Think about that. And people are so billically ignorant in America that if a Muslim says, no, no, no, you've misunderstood. Yeah. We believe in Jesus and Mary. Yeah. I mean, think about that. Now, what is this? All the marium anyway. Yeah. Yeah. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a lot, it goes a lot deeper than that, but very much. Yeah. Yeah. I should give you when you have a chance. I'll give you a video. I've done, I've done many of these. I've, and, and I've actually talked about it, but there's one video that's floating around at the Grand Mufti, the old Grand Mufti of Egypt, talking about this. And he sounds like I, it sounds like a perversion of Isaiah. Or Ezekiel. How far back Grand Mufti of Egypt? Uh, not, not grand, not far back like Nazi. Okay. But which, that's a whole other. That's a whole wow. Wow. Goodness. If you ever want to understand where communism, uh, why communism is so prominent right now and why communism aligns so much with Islam. It's insane. It's insane. Is, is, is a heretical teaching of Christianity and is a political, is a political action function basically? I have, I have always taught the church, uh, from my understanding early on about Islam. And this is what we do not get. Yep. Is in the, in the United States, we have the understanding. There's not a legal document, but there's the understanding that there's a separation of church and state based upon the First Amendment at the state. We will not have a state church. And, uh, the state cannot impose itself upon worship or the free exercise thereof. Yep. In Islam, a lot of people in the West dial down on the hijab and, and a mosque. Excuse me. But Islam is a geopolitical, theocratic umbrella that covers not just religion. It's all of these other things that go down to the very end of your life's existence, the way that you do this, the way that you do that, a woman this way. Is it a bizarre that women, white, predominantly white American women are the ones that are being demonically duped into embracing Islam? I have no idea. Explain that to me. They have no idea. What, I mean, I, we, there's things that they're going to experience that we can't even talk about with camera, right? Oh, yeah. And, let me give you one more question. There's 100 percent. There's some manipulation that's part of their religion. 100 percent. Those same ignorant women that we, that we, let me run the college campuses putting on their hijabs thinking that it's something special. I saw one. I saw, I saw a black woman saying it, that she, yeah, that she's, she has the, um, the cafe on the shame of the black woman. The black woman? Yeah. A black woman. Islam and black woman. Yeah. wanting to campaign for Bernie Sanders and this was we were doing some street witnessing in Long Beach and they had the booth the Muslims had a booth and so there was a black woman there and she had her cafe on she had the hijab all kinds of mixed signals there's nothing tribal about what she's doing and they absolutely no sense and she's sitting there and there's a sign above her that says ask me about why I'm a Muslim or something like that so I go up to her there's a whole crowd of people around her all the Bernie Sanders supporters are around her or whatever and I just looked at her and I said can I just ask you a question I said did you know right now that if you were in Egypt trying to do what you were doing right now or any other Muslim country that you be dead first of all you're a woman they would never let you represent them number one number two you're black okay exactly while I'm saying this people around me are like oh man this is not uncomfortable this is not comfortable this is not comfortable and there's a man behind them speaking Arabic the kind of Arabic that you hear in Saudi Arabia I could hear it it's just I know exactly where they're from I know exactly where they're from and they're saying I wish I could kill him right now absolute and Arabic they're saying it to one another I wish we could kill him kill kill why have them in the middle of that meeting he's he's the I forgot exactly how he said it was a very slang way of saying a guy of the book you know kill the Christian yeah it was I could kill the Christian right now and I'm just thinking in my mind I I look at that and I just immediately just start rebuking him in Arabic and I'm like you know yeah yeah shame on you I understand what you're saying because here's the thing when I speak English nobody hears a Middle Eastern accent that's true so when I speak Arabic someone's going to hear an English accent the way the way I speak typically so it's it's kind of funny because I do this and they're just they couldn't they couldn't even they couldn't even deal with it and what I basically told everybody in this crowd that's listening to this confrontation as I said these guys didn't think that I understood the language so they were saying they wish they could kill me I want did you tell me the whole crowd oh you did the whole crowd is one of the woman so I just basically said you're all duped and if you're worried about slavery and what Americans did to you they traded you they still trading you yep number one people oh American European colonialism and slaves do you know do you know where we bought the slaves from who were selling slaves in those days Arab North African Barbary Coast Barbary Coast pirates would scoop up tribal black cultures of North Africa and sell them to the world Europe and America would buy them it's a it's horrible but notice if they were not being sold it wouldn't have happened 16500 black slave traders were in this country at the founding like I want people like I just want people to understand that yeah when when we talk about some of the things that people claim that we did especially our founding fathers they don't know the law well enough to understand nor do they know the spirit of the law and the intent by which it was like this the one that I hear all the time it just drives me nuts well back then they only counted a black person as half a human being yeah exactly or or okay but do you get why they did that do you get the idea that the the declaration of independence and the writing of the Constitution provided a 20-year referendum yeah to abolish slavery yeah yeah that are fact the Republican Party was the abolishment party that's right okay that's key they were fearful of the fact that the south that's right they wouldn't what would count votes because of the black people that they owned and then those votes they would be able to vote on behalf of their black slaves yeah so their fear was all you got to do is buy more black slaves we keep slavery in that's the self legally that's the self it was an action that they were doing to try to prevent the south from doing what they thought they could do but again nobody wants to talk about the fact that this is all Islamic that's right this is all that's full of activity 100% and that that's why I always laugh when I see these guys I talk to a guy in the elevator the other day he's he's made a few years ago he's listening to me talk to my dad and Arabic you know I'm a phone talking my dad and Arabic and he looks at me he goes hey brother a lot walk but my brother you know I'm a Muslim you know just like you because you speak in Arabic and I think you're a Muslim and I just looked at him and I say you do realize the Muslims hate you right like you realize you go to the Middle East you realize what they think of you you know and that wasn't a pleasant conversation I mean I think it was eye opening for him I think I think you kind of woke up but the reality of it is like people just don't see it for what it what it really is and that's why I despise the behavior of people who are now trying to reframe the truth with a completely different agenda to actually say that Israel is the problem or this is the problem or that's the problem I mean to say I'm a Christian and I sit in the bed of Islam defending its uprightness are you out of your mind? You have you you you can call yourself a Christian but the one thing that you've been able to you've aptly demonstrated this to the rest of the world is you have no knowledge of the word of God right not only do you have no knowledge of the word of God you also have no knowledge of what the code on is and how it drives people so my advice to you you stop take a break from all the nonsense you're saying study the word of God read the Bible understand what your what what the word of God says then maybe you couldn't go back and do this but listen I tell this to people all the time well how can I combat Islam how can I get look here's here's the answer Roman 1619 be excellent and all that is good be innocent of that which is evil the more you are equipped with the Bible the better you are equipped to deal with Islam the Holy Spirit you yes because Islam all Islam is is a Christian heresy because they invoke Jesus it not only do they invoke Jesus but so much of what they teach and what they believe launched from a place in the scriptures they just took it and they twisted it yeah and that I think that's the bigger that's the bigger issue that very very few people want to even tackle because they want to claim to be aware and you know understand but they don't yeah and that's the problem the lies are the lies the truth is the truth and we have to get to the point where we have we we have to be willing yeah to acknowledge that we have a problem here yeah we have to be willing to acknowledge that these are the things and by the way look people are gonna come and they're gonna attack us personally they're gonna hear me say this I'm not gonna listen to a fat guy is is a pastor and I'm not gonna listen to that I'm not gonna okay but just can I challenge you with something stop attacking us personally for a second stop getting upset about the the the fringe issues that you're making a deal of and just ask yourself this question is it true is is what I'm saying true does it doesn't make any kind of sense the Bible has gone out of its way to give us the foundation for truth thinking rational when you they don't think like no no no they don't they cannot question they don't and the and the problem is we have a whole new generation of Christians that do say they love the Lord but they're being talked to throw away the Old Testament because they're calling it Jewish they don't get it the John said this in John 11 he said in the beginning was the word was with God and the word was God okay he later on goes to say the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory is glory the only begotten father and then he says something very interesting later on in that in that chapter verse 14 he says the law was given to us by Moses yes verse 14 is what I just was yep but grace and truth Jesus Christ but if you translate that from the Greek language you know what it actually says the law was given to us by Moses grace and truth realized in the law through Jesus Christ that's how it's translated beautiful so when Jesus says I've come to fulfill the law not destroy it right when he says I've come to fulfill in every jotten title he means that yeah and and and they want to throw away all of that in the name of well we're being controlled by this you know whatever all the blood libels are going on all that but what you don't understand is you don't understand the value of what you've been given and because you choose to act like a spoil brat who assumes that everything you have is because of something you've been entitled to that's right you don't take the time to understand how thankful you should be we have what we have because of the Jews think about it like this if I if I was a man who was homeless a boy who was homeless three years old I got no place to go I got no food everything is terrible and a family comes and adopts me there's two children in that family they're natural born and I'm adopted and then they adopt my brother and they adopt my sister and now there's three of us three of us and these two kids that were natural born I start saying I hate them exactly I'm the real family you're not the real family how disrespectful is they start pushing them out how disrespectful is it to them and how disrespectful is it to mom and dad how disrespectful is it to mom and dad look we have been given this heritage we've been grafted in we've been grafted in the branch doesn't go to the tree and say I hate you yeah they they they were the custodians appointed by God to give us the word the prophets I have the Bible exactly because of the Bible the Jews gave us the Bible here's here's what I'll say and I think this is really important and I think everybody should know this especially the younger generation please please please the younger look we talk about the younger younger generation being so entitled and all that but I can I just say this about Gen Z years I think they're the probably smartest generation this world has ever seen in many ways some of us don't recognize it but they are the ones that have the greatest potential yeah that's true it's a not a coincidence that God put that generation in the last days that's right it's also not a coincidence that the one thing they seem to be struggling with and all have uncommon is the hatred of Israel because of what they've been fed the true think about it like this if I hate these kids and I'm the devil I hate them he I want to destroy them I want them to be gone what's the fastest way to get their blessing ripped off you know what it is yeah scapegoat Israel yeah don't take responsibility just hang out it hang out in your hang out in your in your basement listen to Nick Fuentes listen to this person listen to that person it's Israel's fault it's all that instead of going out and doing the admirable yeah Mary have children go fight the good fight go look do you think it's a coincidence that Charlie Kirk was killed at the moment in time that he was killed when he was killed I don't believe you know this at all we we were both personal friends of his we we talked to him on a regular basis Charlie was beginning to see something that he had not seen at the level that he saw it prior to him that he was beginning to transform in a way that was remarkable in the sense that he realized that the contention in the political realm was super important but he also knew that they could not find hope unless they had Christ that's right and he knew he knew because I talked to him about it every day he knew that they were trying to attack these kids the enemy was trying to attack these kids by changing their minds on Israel yeah he knew it right I'll do to get frustrated with Doders and that's a whole other box sure we have to look at it this way the enemy is on a rampage that's right and he's looking to take our kids away yeah yeah no doubt and and this is how it's happening and I think more than ever we have to stand up for that we got to pay attention you're asking about how people think and what you just said it's remarkable so the challenge to parents and young people today is what are the historical landmarks for us to look at so that we don't crash into the same rocks yeah well there's some good ones when you look at them throughout history ask yourself this question what what group or groups of people hated Israel or the Jew right them down in a piece of paper yeah what group or people's love the Jew or or were there for the Jew what does the Bible say about the Jew old and New Testament Paul beautifully says has God cast them away forever God forbid that ought to be enough right then and there absolutely bottom line is people do not think past their nose because when they're yelling and screaming death to the Jew or from the river to the sea especially coming from a Western culture person saying that they have no idea that not only is Israel the first line of defense for the West but without the remarkable blessings that God has given even the unbelieving Jews because remember according to Ezekiel 38 oh yeah they will not come to believe until Ezekiel 38 happens but Christians don't want to hear that yeah matter of fact God is gonna God said it he said 36 he's bringing them in unbelief he's brought we know that why do people exactly how many Christians Christians they have they have pornography there there's there's homosexuality in Israel Bible probably they don't believe what are you crazy what do you think America but they're exactly not to believe yeah until yeah that veil is lifted and it sounds like Ezekiel 38 has a tremendous part to do that that said when you have lunatics dark-raving crazies like Nick Fuentes for example and others like him spewing what they're spewing yeah I don't it's just almost sounds terrible to say but I don't get upset about these people that are in the atmosphere I don't get upset by them I don't get upset by the replacement theology dudes we can expose them we should yeah of course but the bottom line is this do you not see and I know we have to wrap this up do you not see prior to covid we're cruising along the church in America yeah you know what abortion's always been a debate and marriage has always been a debate but apart from those in which are very important of obviously COVID hits the church is tested oh yeah following that BLM yep the church is tested and then it was LBG used to be Q plus yeah LB okay and then there's mutilation the trans a dissection or bisection of the human body now it's Israel yep James I can make an argument that with each episode maybe not scientifically in the sense of well covid's a virus yeah yeah and BLM is a worldview I'm saying this God doesn't cause any of these he may allow it yeah yeah but it doesn't cause them but in every situation every human being has been tested in these areas and I do not think that Israel right now being the current test is a coincidence it didn't Israel wasn't where we started it was covid each of these global shaking events have had their effect in all areas of life I don't care about that I have watched the church become streamlined purified and perfected with each topic and I I can't think of a greater topic for the church to end her existence on earth to be raptured up while Israel is the big topic of debate I would agree because God commends the church at Philadelphia for its position its beliefs he exposes in the seven letters of the seven churches which you just wrote a great book about and I want you to plug it here in a second but these are not these are not accidents and I just think right now beyond Israel I don't know what else could be a greater topic I'm looking for the Lord to take us up anytime I don't know I don't know the day they are nobody look here's the thing and people ask me this all the time because by God's grace you know we've our audience has grown a lot and one of the questions that I get is I get word from desperate grandmothers people who are looking to leave generations legacies for their children and and they're saying they're saying how how do we reach out to our children the most common thing I'm hearing people say now these are people that are podcasting mean well you name it so many of them are asking everybody to focus on history study history you learn how to keep yourself from preventing history and don't get me wrong you have to know those things you you've got to know what our forefathers believe you've got to know what you know happened in the past it's very important to draw parallels from what happened in Nazi Germany to today and like all of those things are important but it may be the most erroneous approach that's being taken right now by the older generation and I'm going to say this at the risk of people thinking I'm crazy when I say it but it's important for everybody to understand if you want to save this generation you need to get them to focus on Bible prophecy 100% and and people don't get that pastor you are 100% right but they're going to churches that do not teach 28 29 percent of the Bible it's terrible can you imagine can you imagine saying hey we're any new people here today at our church oh that's great you're we're so happy you're here just just we worship the Lord will have tides and offerings here in a moment and cheer up we only teach 75% of the Bible yeah could you imagine yeah I'd run out of that I'd run out of that building so these kids you are 100% right they cannot be ignorant in prophecy because they are in the moment and yet pastors have abandoned the literal bonafide doctrine of eschatology they have left that door they they need to be told that God before they were born before their great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather was born purpose them set them aside to live in the most extraordinary time in human history here's the thing people don't get and I and I really truly believe this spiritual warfare I think we are in the most intense time of spiritual warfare we've ever had in human history next to only times only two other times one is the fall of man in the garden and the other time is the death bear on resurrection of Christ I don't think we've seen any other greater time of spiritual warfare than those two times in the time that we're living right now both of those times that we talk about a spiritual warfare that we get to study in the Bible and all that we're all heavily written with declarations made in the prophetic end the creation of mankind I mean think about this in Genesis there is a prophecy that talks about the heel being bruised but the head being crushed it's the first Bible prophecy first Genesis 315 one of the very first ones eschatological so theological 100% yet in the book of Revelation we've got more people trying to make an argument that Jesus is black based on his feet being made of brass when in reality the statement of his feet being made of brass speaks very specifically of what you read about in the book of Genesis absolutely the final judgment the crushing of the head brass just the tool that was used yeah on the on all of these altars yeah for judgment for judgment the brazen serpent lifted on kids kids what they they're hungry for this they feel like they have no purpose which is why they're sitting in these basements and and and just taking it all in because they don't feel like they can be part of any kind of a solution there has over being triple taxed there's we don't have an opportunity to buy home wait hold on for a second you realize right now is the easiest time in human history to make insane money not that it's about making money we have kids in our church kids that are they make more money in one year than I'll make it my lifetime they're making tens of thousands of dollars a month come on and they're doing this come on it's it's easier that it's easier than ever so it's not stop blaming yeah stop scapegoating stop saying that stand up and go for it okay well that you look at all the money that they make look at the fact that they never got sick when everybody else got sick and jealous yes not only to envy and jealousy but it's like learn the Bible the Jews were told how to run business that's right got got taught me through my dad and my grandfather got taught me how to be a businessman I admittedly make good about a money more outside of the church and I do in the church yeah the Bible taught them those principles that's right so you're shocked if the Jews are the best business people in the world yeah they culturally are using the scriptures yep if you're if you're wondering why everybody died of the plague and the Jews didn't that's right they're they're they're personal high ceremonial cleanliness law ceremonial cleanse cleanliness kept them from the bubondic plague what are we talking about here so instead of instead of everybody saying can you can you guys tell us what you're doing in your house they said let's kill them they must be the reasons why there's a plague and this listen I have an iPhone right here you would have it if it wasn't in here's a deal if I circumcise this iPhone the insides are all Jewish every Tucker Carlson's bashing the Jews on an iPhone on his iPhone he's holding a Jewish product on his iPhone taking pictures with it how do you like the fact that the private jet that he wrote into when he flew in the bangerian wouldn't be flying if it wasn't for Jews yeah yeah yeah yeah I that's the see that's the part that's hilarious but all of it goes back to what does the scriptures say about all of this what what what does the Bible teach us we have to go back introspectively and we have to say okay I'm not satisfied with something happening in my life right now I don't like the fact that I'm not making this I don't like the fact that I can't do this I don't like the fact that I'm not doing this what what what would you rather do would you rather complain and say well it's this politician it's that Jew it's this person or would you rather say okay Lord yeah sure you promised me this that's right sure I went on a walk with my wife many many years ago when we bought our first home together and we were in this really really nice neighborhood very very nice neighborhood and and my wife hinted at the fact knowing that we had just adopted some children and and she hinted at the fact that you know I think it'd be nice to live in this you know sure in this neighborhood well my wife didn't know it at the time but what I instantly started doing is sweating and crying I'm in front of my Bible and I'm saying Lord show me you gave wisdom the Solomon the right do we're King told us that Solomon what would be the amount of trillions of dollars today to get wisdom from him right show me show me how in business from the scriptures I can make this work that's right but God's grace in a year and a half we were there that's right and I have nothing to do with it it's all the Lord he gets all agree everybody has the opportunity to take advantage of it especially in this country and if you will take the time to understand what the Bible says about your future the opportunities would Bible prophecy says about all of this you're you're leaving all of that in the dirt and I actually I think I really truly think that's why the enemies attacking so hard because I think we're at the customer this look this is how you beat the AI problem that's exactly correct the AI problem gets beat when you learn to understand what AI can't do yeah that's right and what AI can't do predominantly centers around anticipatory function you might think it does based on some algorithmic you know conclusion that it makes but it's never going to understand how to put A and B together because it doesn't have the soul of man you know it's amazing I know we got we got to wrap this up this is a podcast for some other time yep is is bringing up some of the conversations and data that people like Elon Musk but people that are way deeper into the AI world that are that are now speaking about it and the more I listen to these guys these creators of AI and the owners of these companies when they're when they get nervous about what they've created I mean it's pretty terrifying to oh sure I mean I don't understand it because I'm dumb they understand it and they're scared yeah that said yep I just see I see the the image of the beast being an AI apparatus but it lacks the soul yes that makes it a perfect candidate to be possessed by demonic activity and manipulated by demons I think I think Satan of course will inhabit the anti-crazed but the image of the beast revelation tells us that it it's going to appear to be alive yep I just this is my crazy guess idols the connection that Paul warned the Corinthians about don't pray to idle yeah idols you're praying to demons yeah demons are always looking for something to inhabit yep I would not be surprised if a if Legion so to speak possesses the image of the beast yeah because it lacks that soul you're exactly correct yes think about this jack this is like really important everybody needs to grasp we know the anti-crisis in actual man so there's no way he could try that's right you know the false prophet is an actual man so we know it can be a image of the beast that's a whole other story you know we're talking about something that appears to be mechanical but has some sign of life but AI absolutely can be at the core of it and here's the part that's even scarier than what most people even in the Bible prophecy world are talking about right now and that's this and it's probably because they just don't understand it if you know what large language models are doing right now and generative models to to understand they are a deep reflection of all of human history low okay with without without this is that that will yes it is it it literally is the modern about it is because look at what God did when God judged those that were building the Tower of Babel he disperse them by breaking up their language that's right God said it most people miss this in Genesis God said it there is enough that they will not be able to do that's right if they're able to speak the same language that's right and AI language I can I can do it right now I can has created a God in his own image will be you use it we we preach in English and our yeah our message on 18 different languages winds up in yeah winds up in India in in Arabia and in Moscow remarkable we're in the same condition of Genesis 11 again I know we're right we're there that's such an indicator of the last day and I mean come on how about look at the days of Noah and the days of lot two distinctly different situations the days of Noah the the the sign of judgment they're looking yeah and but think about this I I'll take it I will go out on the limb and say doesn't even have anything to do with how evil the days are that look Noah is building this arc because God's going to judge the world for generation after generation after generation probably five generations they're seeing Noah build this arc and they're probably calling him crazy they're ignoring him at the time of judgment they're eating drinking being Mary yeah like nothing is wrong nothing could go wrong the days are getting started to ignore the rain comes down the floods come up they perish what was the sign of judgment to them that they were staring at for a hundred years was the symbol of salvation to the one that was seeking God in twenty years that ship set there guys driveway we're seeing it right now we talk about the rapture we talk about the second coming we talk about Bible prophecy we are literally building the arc all over again and the people as in the days of Noah are eating and drinking and being Mary and doing all the evil not recognizing because they're mocking all they've been Noah's been building that arc for years where's the promise of the father it's exactly right and the days of lot are even scarier because when Jesus talks about the days of lot he's not talking about again the wickedness and it was wicked it was about the fact that there were there was a righteous man in a city that was so emotionally tied and preoccupied with that city yeah that even his own family struggled with not looking back that's right and if you notice they hang out in a cave just so he could kind of see what was going on he still couldn't separate himself from it and what are we doing right now look at the church look at how much that you've got guys that are saying unhitch yourself from the Old Testament yeah well that's we are in the days of Noah and lot see when a pastor says that kind of stuff yeah yeah maybe I'm oversimplistic but Jesus is my sheep hear my voice yeah all of me they're not the moment that pastor AC said that or AS what's his name no no yes yes yes yeah as soon as AS said that could be AC yeah as soon as he said that I Jesus is sheep would have gotten up and walked out oh come on those who stay there this I'm gonna borrow from Walter Martin remember Walter Martin this is also yeah his daughter used to go to my church I I've met some great catcher somebody here on campus yeah yeah so listen so Walter Martin used to say you should be grateful for the cult down the street from this church what kind of statements that why would I be grateful for the cult down the street from the church Walter Martin the way that only he could do it he said because they have a hunger for spiritual things but they don't want the truth so if they weren't at that cult down the street they would be in your church messing it all up and I thought there's Walter Martin that's hilarious is that it's a brilliant it's almost like exactly so you think about what's going on right now again God is getting his bride ready people are departing from doctrine yep you can pray for them but I got to tell you I'm not I'm not crying over this yeah he's cleaning his church oh you know this guy you he stopped going to church he got into the occult well you can pray for him but we're living in those days where the terrors are being separated from the wheat right quickly plug the book and in fact I I want you to plug it so well that we want to mark the date of this podcast release and then look to see what kind of spike I want this book to sell out it's been doing great yeah by God's grace so it's a book it's called the last book it's been several years in the making so that means you can't write anymore yeah I know no it it's so it was going to be one whole book and we had to break it up in the two just because of how big it it became it's might so the last book volume two scan yeah yeah and it won't be volume two actually it's going to be oh I wish I'll tell you afterwards what the title is going to be it's going to be awesome you're gonna love it okay but basically I am teaching people through the book of Revelation right and so this book called the last book goes through the first 10 chapters of the book of Revelation and I spend an exorbitant amount of time educating the reader on the Old Testament so that they can better interpret what's happening in the New Testament now we do go over some of the linguistic issues there's a lot of original language stuff that I spend a lot of time talking about and I even talk about the nuances that exist between the Hebrew language and the Greek language and some of the old Bible language problems and I promise everybody like I promise I worked very hard on this it's not gonna go over anybody's head you're gonna you're gonna read it it's gonna be very very simple we've got a lot of great really really great responses you can go to James Kiddice.com and you can find it there or you go to Amazon and just type in my name and that's the best the last book yeah the best Amazon Amazon that's right as crazy as they are we have it on hard back and paperback and we have the Kindle Edition we have an audio version that will be coming out version two or the second book we think will come out sometime around June or July it's already been done it's just a matter of us doing all the edits and all that it's it's taken so much but I think that people will be blessed with it so everybody go to Amazon or James Kiddice and you're gonna want to buy the last book by James Kiddice and yeah if you do Amazon it's a weird thing because Amazon actually if you do well at Amazon it actually Amazon is like a wheel if he sells a lot at Amazon then Amazon it actually spools it up it gets more traction it pops up the list people buy it more and we all know that Amazon is a stark rating thing but so it's Ford Motor Company and you can also get a cheap you could also get a cheaper on Amazon because if you get it a lot of people are going directly to my site to get it but because at the time they were Amazon couldn't keep up at the time I don't know if that's a case now there are some issues going back and forth with the printers and all that but if you go to Amazon it'll be cheaper and the shipping is free so I would just recommend that you that you do that the last book yeah the last book and we're very excited about it the hope behind writing the book is to get people to fall in love with prophecy Bible prophecy again gosh not too long ago I um I did I guess it was a podcast I think three-hour video I'm not I haven't finished watching it took me a revelation video three hours yeah somebody's there's people responded to us I made some comment I'll never do it again I made some comment like you know what I had what I should sit down sometime and read the book of Revelation and and I five minutes later I forgot I'd ever said it then people were commenting my team told me you know people want you to do it they want you to do it and I said okay let's do it let me tell you something it's one thing to sit down for three hours and read a book without talking oh yeah I know it's work but I spoke to these cameras and I got to tell you it was done masterfully nobody knows this was done well I didn't drink enough water while I was doing it and I got to tell you I woke up the next morning I felt like someone had beat my back my kidneys with rocks I mean I felt I was so painful yeah in my kidneys because the lack of water yeah it takes a lot out of you I couldn't
