 This is a special report Israel has declared it is at war after a sudden unprecedented and deadly surprise attack by Hamas this morning. The Palestinian militant group essentially invaded parts of Israel today infiltrating by land, see even air sending paragliders in. Even people who don't pay attention to news or to what's happening just in in society in general all know what's happening over in Israel. There's always something happening in the Middle East and it's always surrounding Israel. Well I shouldn't say always surrounding Israel but when we notice it the most it's surrounding Israel or America which brings us to the question is America up next? Well before I go ahead and get to all I'm going to let's just go ahead and put it out there. Yes matter of fact not next next again remember when these people and I say these people I'm not trying to be ugly or mean or choose size or anything like that I do have a side I do have a dog in the race that is God and I'm going to go along with what his word says and how he leads us that we all know but there are two great enemies in the world two great enemies one especially if you're in the Middle East especially if you're Islam or especially if you're atheists the two great enemies one is going to be Israel you look at the map notice who's all around Israel every other nation around them is a Muslim majority nation how do they feel about Israel not too not too wonderfully they're not inviting Israel over for dinner anytime soon but when you see these nations these countries that really do not like Israel either outwardly or behind the scenes it's not just death to Israel but it's also death to America before we get to this issue it's aspect regarding America and even more specifically there's something more specific about America that I want to deal with is what has actually happened. Palestinian militants from the armed group Hamas launched a surprise coordinated attack on Israel by land sea and air on Saturday morning with hundreds killed the attack is the largest and deadliest in years and prompted an Israeli declaration of war some of the worst things you can ever imagine to see and that we're seeing now whole unfolding before our eyes are some of the atrocities that are being committed and I don't mean you know in battle in war there are people that are going to suffer there's going to be collateral damage you expect that you don't expect or you should not expect but we do now especially when dealing with certain people you don't normally expect the collateral damage to be intentional meaning that you go intentionally after civilians and we've seen this before we've seen we're seeing women being raped we're seeing children being killed we're seeing people being tortured and and and someone made this statement and it's kind of hard to disagree that for for many it's better to face death than what they're going to face while they're there say what you want to say about America but when we do get in battles and we've been in battles I can't think of one time and I could be wrong so someone may have to correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall us ever celebrating or gloating if we've done anything major meaning that we are celebrating other people dying except for except for one person I can think of there being a celebration and that is when Osama bin Laden was captured and killed other than that and I remember people you know celebrating and so forth but we're not talking about civilians being killed we didn't celebrate when we went to Iraq we didn't celebrate we certainly as a matter of fact we're not celebrating whatever was happening in Vietnam as a matter of fact you saw more protest against our own soldiers and I don't know what it was like during World War one or World War two we celebrated when the war was over but people being killed especially innocent people we didn't celebrate that and so let me just say this and I'll just be up front with it what we're seeing the demonstrations by the the people that went in the civilians and so forth is atrocious and people that want to defend this even if you don't have to even be pro Israel to say that what we're seeing some of the behaviors that we're seeing it's just atrocious it is it is an abomination even if you're not a Christian even if you're not if you don't have a ounce of biblical sense at least common sense it just decency says that what we're seeing here women being brutally gang raped having them open up their social media and then have them record them getting violated and then being killed when you say certain things and we've seen this before we've seen and we'll talk about this even more so but we're seeing people gloating and glorifying and the question is what should Israel do because there are people that are calling for restraint we'll talk about that in a little bit but put yourself in their position and many of us were but I don't recall us having to say we wanted to make the people that did what they did on 9 11 we wanted to make them pay we didn't want to make the civilians that are housing or that these people happen to be in in the country that they're in I don't recall anyone saying let's make all of that particular country pay no we wanted those who were involved brought to justice whether they were involved either directly or indirectly and now we're going to look at the biblical points behind this we're going to look at the biblical ramifications why this is happening because remember there is a God who's over all of this it's not as though God is sitting back and just you know watching the news with us it's not as though God is tuning in to box or CNN or ABC NBC he's not tuning in to see what's going to happen nope there is a God behind the scenes who has told us what was going to happen and in many cases he is actually involved I'll talk about that in just a little bit but to think about what some of these horrible people let me just say this the people that did this are garbage they'd be mad at me using that that kind of terms that matter to me there are people that are just listen if you think everybody on the planet is nice and neat and they're going to be okay and they just need understanding and they can be rehabilitated and they can be changed no everybody cannot everybody cannot and everybody will not that's just a fact there are some people that are just diabolical that are just wicked that are evil and their destruction is known ahead of time but there is there is something that's happening there is something that's going on with them and we'll talk about that even more so so let's just look at this when you see this is happening and guys again let me just pause for a second I put a disclaimer in the beginning and let me just say it again as we go through some of this stuff these are some really really graphic things there are a lot of things I decided not to show but there's some things that I did decide to show because you need to know this you need to see this because just to hear this okay all right I hear it but when you see it it's like when someone is having a going to have an abortion and then they show them that like the 3d ultrasound and they tend to not want to have the abortion after because now seeing it literally puts a face to the name and so when we see this it's it's hard it's it's hard to watch it's disturbing uh but we actually need to know this we need to see this and so here we've got these now I'm not gonna I'm not gonna show that but I'll come back this in a second but the man was literally raising a garden hose and was going to capitate the man I saw the video and they're just chopping away chopping away I don't mean to be graphic but you need to get an understanding what's happening chopping away and and the capitations is the thing for them it's now the norm for these people but now this next scene this is the one that bothered me and um every time I see this I get bothered um I want to cry I really do listen I I don't think I'm soft I don't think I'm some you know some sissy or anything like that or whatever but to see this next scene is one of the things that just how do I say it bothers the heck out of me it bothers the heck out of me this this next scene this little boy here who they took from Israel and took him back to Gaza and having these other children and I and the other children they probably don't know any better but to have these other children to do what they're doing to this little boy guys it bothers me when I say it by it bothers the living daylights out of me it it's hurtful to see this little boy he doesn't know what's going on he doesn't know what's going on he didn't have a and I'm sure he didn't have a hateful bone in his body towards anyone in Gaza he doesn't know anything about what's going on and this is what you want to do you people that they even cheer for this are just animals it is it is what it is let's not tell the truth shame and devil this is horrible look at that beating this little boy picking on him babies and toddlers were found with their heads decapitated that's a problem when you go through cities and you are decapitating babies when you're killing them not just killing them but doing so in an inhumane fashion mutilating them it becomes sport using the bathroom on them both ways urinating defecating on these bodies some of them not even dead that's a problem that's a problem and the problem is that we've got people who just I don't know if they want to be politically correct I don't know what the deal is because the problem is a lot of folks just simply have a disdain for Israel they do now my suggestion is this and somebody might get upset when I say this but my suggestion is for those folks that have an issue with Israel and that they stand for Palestine fine fine there are flights that are leaving to go to the Middle East every day go join in the battle go join in the fray since you think that you've got since since you have you are so heartless to say that say something like I don't know if you all saw with BLM put out and this is not just one BLM chap this are several BLM chapters but this particular one happens to be the BLM chapter in Chicago what they're saying I stand with Palestine that is all that it is okay okay again and that makes sense BLM that makes sense because you people seem to be some of the most horrible people in America also the ironic thing is that your founders would be killed in the Middle East you do realize they don't take too kindly to homosexuality they don't they don't take too kindly to that so you would be raped and then you would be tossed off of a building and no someone said is there is there has their account been hacked no their account has not been hacked as a matter of fact other BLM chapters have chimed in other celebrities have chimed in I stand with Palestine when you say that especially let me put it back on the screen when you put the little air cell or whatever that thing is that's literally what they used to jump in and to kill people so if you one thing if you say I stand with him or I just I just want to my heart goes out to these people on both sides and mine does too mine does too I am I have I have concern for Israel the people of Israel as well as the people in Gaza and now we see that Hezbollah has begun to enter the fray and my heart goes out to the people in the West Bank it's people dying it's it bothers me although I understand who holds life and death in their hand it's ultimately God and so God decides you're dying you're dying God decides you're not dying you're not dying if he decides you're living it's up to him and so where you ultimately end up and we'll talk about this as well where you end up you're not going to really be there thinking about man I hate I hate how I got here if I end up in heaven I hate how I got to heaven if I end up in hell how you got to hell won't matter what you did to not keep you from coming to hell it is it is going to matter whether you had a heart attack whether you were hit by a car whether you fail some sort of disease where you end up is what you're going to be focusing on and so we'll talk about that because this important point needs to be brought out but we've got people here in America as well as other places in the world that are just cheering this on these are the leaders of Hamas that are in Qatar and so what do they do as they're watching it they're they're gleeful they're happy they're celebrating so nothing says we did good with a slaughter like praying to Allah which is what they're doing celebrating in city australia gas the jews gas the jews with the same still in australia celebrating fireworks because now remember let me let me put this back up here the little boy there's a little boy yelling a lot walk bar remember or keep this in mind what's stating here what they're doing here is they're celebrating this knowing what Hamas did let's be clear Hamas hadn't won anything there's no great victory that Hamas just won and so just to act as though Hamas or Palestinians have liberated israel first of all won't ever happen and so let's be clear what they are celebrating is the atrocious deaths of these innocent jews when I say innocent there's there's no one that's innocent but these people who had nothing to do with any sort of oppression that they would see or perceive depression towards these people this is happening in london they're celebrating on on the news of jews dying in turkey which you can expect this happening in turkey here we've got someone tearing a a israeli flag down and putting up a palestinian flag and they're cheering and then obviously here in the good old us of a because obviously we're going to have sympathizers who want to go out and celebrate the death of jews this is a new york city and i want you to hear what this man is getting ready to say he's going to come to just a second he said these people they were having they were at this concert they were having a great time until the resistance came no they're not resistance and you sir are an idiotic person to say so or just a vile human being either or was suffice this was not the resistance because resistance is not coming after just some unknowing partygoers at some concert and decide to start shooting them they are cowards call these people that did what they did what they are cowards to go in and shoot up people who are unsuspecting now i did say this and i will i will we'll talk about this even more so because for it to happen in america they you really couldn't do what they did here in america the way they did it why because if you come paragliding in or whatever you call parasailing in um across the border let's say you come sailing in here in texas they're gonna be a lot you're gonna be met with a lot of gunshot a lot of fire they're gonna be a lot of return fire that so that that wouldn't necessarily happen so there's another way and we'll talk about the other way that is going to happen how it's going to happen but these are cowards you start shooting young men young women babies children who can't defend themselves you are a coward and there is a special place in hell for bullies to do some of these things it just it is what it is somebody can be bothered somebody can be upset but then you sir you ma'am who would also agree with him you two are coward as well and electrified hand gliders and took at least several dozen hipsters some electrified hand gliders and came in and killed several dozen hipsters first of all wasn't several dozen it was 200 plus at that at that concert but you're you're you're gloating and people are people listen people are literally cheering at the death of these people calling them hipsters minimizing that they were human beings despite what the new york post says and then we have in chicago free palestine free dearborn michigan there's a large there's a large muslim population there this is obviously you got to have you got to have it take place in la so here these are uh happening in la there's a large apparently large population i think some folks probably just there just to be party some folks are there seeming like they're having a a wonderful time a good time because for them this is just celebration for them this is just celebration however there is going to be a an anteing up there's going to be a cost you are going to they are going to give an account for this and again blm wants to chime in but not just not just blm um there are other folks that chime in even our our congressional leaders i want to go to a to a couple scriptures god is involved in this and i want to i want to go back we don't think about this we don't we don't think about this um i don't know if they're the largest muslim population is there uh many apples has a large muslim population as well um new york uh and calif i think la they are probably the two largest just simply by population but in terms of percentage i think dearborn has the largest percentage of muslims uh in america but there was something that happens remember there is a consequence for sin there's a consequence for disobeying i know that for well even for people who have nothing to do with your sin what i did to get myself in trouble the consequences wasn't just for me but it was also for my wife and for my children and other people as well other folks that i heard so there's always these consequences and they're lingering you just hope that your consequences don't linger too long but in the very beginning all the way but obviously we talk about adam and eve the consequences of their sin what adam did their sin is long lasting amen but even in genesis sometimes we think that god just throws things in there and they just throw away passes they don't really mean anything we should reflect on them but look what he says to haigar remember haigar who abraham did not tell him to be with her but abraham and sarah wanted to help god out figure out what god meant instead of just listening to god because that's oftentimes our problem so what do they do how about you go into my maid servant haigar and so she gets pregnant and she runs away and then the end of the lord shows up and says behold you're with child and you will bear a son and you shall name him his name ishmael because the lord has given him your affliction look what he says he will be a wild donkey of a man and his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand will be against him and he will live to be the east of all of his brothers now what does that mean well who's he speaking of well obviously speaking of these other descendants who ultimately become the followers of islam and is what god said here true sure a wild donkey of a man his hand against everyone else and everyone against him fighting everybody fighting each other remember most of the violence in the middle east not just in israel but in turkey in syria in afghanistan in iran when you see these bombings these killings oftentimes it's other muslims that are dying at the hands of other muslims and so that part needs to be understood as well and i want you guys to be clear of something i want i want you to understand what's happening what god said god stated that because again judgment doesn't just stop at the moment a lot of you all are familiar with being disciplined by your parents a lot of us have had that happen and when the discipline happens we might cry out and say no i'm sorry i'm i'm i'm i'm i forgive me please stop i won't do it again thinking that the discipline is supposed to stop at that moment no you're gonna learn from this and and and when god wants to teach a lesson he wants the lesson to be learned so for us it would behoove us to understand the lesson to also to understand what god is doing it's not though that god has turned his back on israel but i want to be clear about this those people by and large that are dying whether they be israel israelis or whether they be palestinians the overwhelming majority are not christian the overwhelming majority have not placed their faith in christ so however they die the end result is still going to be a life of an eternity away from god and oh i wish they would come to know our lord and savior i wish they all could and so what we're really talking about if we just kind of look at it from a from a heavenly standpoint if we're talking about people who are killing each other who all for the most part the majority of them don't know the lord and that and you're right shriek sadly they are going to die thinking that the greatest travesty is how they died no the greatest travesty is that you could have spent eternity with god the father that's going to be the hardest thing that they're that's the one thing that they are going to have to live with those who have placed their faith in christ those who god takes to heaven they're not going to have a problem with it at all they won't they won't be bothered they're only they're only if they could be sad they'd be sad for us that are still here having to deal with this and this world is going to get worse and worse and worse now before i get back to the script so i want to go back to these these vile evil wicked leaders of hamas who love to use civilians and cause death and destruction now israel they have to respond you let you you have to respond if you don't defend your people if you don't as a matter of fact the bible tells us that any man who does not take care of his own he's worse than an unbeliever well the leader of israel has to deal with this he has to take care of his people he can't allow this to happen and then it go unchecked because what's gonna happen it'll happen again and again because remember what is hamas's main goal well it's the same goal that hezbollah has you have hezbollah to the east and you have hamas to the southwest and then you have the other nation the other muslim majority nations surrounding them what are all there what's what's their singular goal that they can be united why can't iran who is a um a shia nation a shia muslim nation who they hate sunnis why would they support sunnis because they have a common enemy that is death israel israel being wiped off and so israel has to respond just to protect um their sovereignty as a nation even though there's no one that is sovereign but just to and just protect their citizens and their nation so israel has to respond as gaz's tallest building turned to rubble in an instant it followed yet another day of tit for tat attacks where hamas fires its crude rockets indiscriminately into israeli territory only to be met with the full force of israel's sophisticated weaponry the death toll is rising on both sides with civilians caught in the middle now i just saw a comment someone says that israel is not a nation they are a state no they are they are actually the fitting definition of a nation but even more to the point god calls the nation run look at that in a second because here we want to be as biblical as possible notice though why this is happening what god stated god tells israel this nation of israel what they are to do god tells them to rid the land of those people who are not is now if those people want to if any one of these people that the jebusites that had the hittites and so forth if they want to take part in this covenant with god they are free to do so ask ray have asked for they are they are free to join in ask la is our Damascus who was who abraham thought was going to be his uh his his his descendant his air no anyone could join in recognizing that god is god that he is lord they recognize who god was in the power but they did not want to yield why because if you recognize that god is lord then what do you have to do you have to yield to him and many times people just don't want to do that but i want to read what god stated he gives a warning to joshua in joshua 23 let's start in verse 11 excuse me so take diligent he to yourself to love the lord your god love the lord your god number one for if you ever go back and cling to the rest of these nations these other people these which remain among you and intermarry with them so that you associate with them and they with you know with certainty that the lord your god will not continue to drive these nations out from before you but they will be a snare and a trap to you and they whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes until you perish from this good land which the lord your god has given you so now that's god's warning to joshua as they're going into the land what does israel decide to do what does the nation decide to do they decide to do exactly what god said don't do exactly what god said don't do so god passes judgment he says in chapter two verse 20 of judges so the anger of the lord burned against israel and he said because this nation has transgressed my covenant which i commanded their fathers and has not listed my voice i also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations with which joshua left when he died so what is god's plan what is god's purpose what does god says he's going to do leave them there i'm gonna leave them there i would have driven them out and been with you but you you didn't love me like you're supposed to of course how do we see the state of israel they have turned their back on god now take heart for israel that god has not finished god is not through them we're going to look at the fact what god says about israel as a matter of fact he does say this he says if anyone wonders if god is through with israel he is not as a matter of fact even to the point that where god is has not considered israel no longer be a nation no he says they will israel will always be a nation before the lord and he will fulfill his promise not because of israel's devotion not because of their faith not because they're great not because they're amazing not because they're awesome but because god made a promise and we're going to talk about this promise as it relates to us as well us Gentile believers but he says in Jeremiah 31 this is him telling there's going to be there's going to come this new covenant by the way this is part of what god said he's going to do because they disobeyed god now let's just do a little biblical recounting because they disobeyed god not to have any guys before them no idols and so forth but he also stated do not disobey the land i mean the land Sabbath every seven years the land is to have a Sabbath as well they disobeyed god how many times class they disobeyed him 70 times so Jeremiah the prophet comes and tells them that they are going to be put out for how long 70 years before the 70 years is up then Daniel is praying because it's almost time for us to come in and he's praying to hear a word from the lord about them coming in and Daniel hears a word from the lord from the angel and the angel tells him that 77s and those sevens refer to the years 77 years so a seven is seven years so 70 of them because how many times did Israel disobey the seven year Sabbath 70 times so 77s have been decreed and remember what god says he says i'm going to bring you back into the land and after i bring you back into the land so if you want to know who's actually in israel well is everyone that's in israel are they all ethnic or 100 authentic jews i have no idea i couldn't tell you uh didn't matter but most of them are some of them are i would have to say that jews that jews are back in israel are there some that are not jews that are there sure but god promised that they would be back in the land they are there if they're not if someone says they're not well then that means god lied but they're there then he says after he puts them in the land then he is going to start working on their heart however there's going to be a little bit of an issue with that because he's not going to change all of israel's heart why because israel and their disobedience god determined that because she as he says into the right of me because you have made me jealous and gone after other gods well that i'm going to make you jealous and and choose other people i'm going to choose a people who are not a people a nation who's not a nation to make you jealous now to get to the good part i want you all to understand this he does say paul tells us that israel is going to be saved chapter 11 verse 25 of romans he says i don't want you to be uninformed of this mystery so that you will not be wise in your own estimation that a partial hardening has happened to israel until the fullness of the gentiles comes in that's you and i i'm assuming that is unless you're jewish but for the gentiles who are going to have salvation that's the fullness of the gentiles when that's through then he's going to deal with israel there's a partial hardening on israel so how should israel be behaving just like they are now because god has given them a spirit of stupor a partial hardening this is all part of what god is doing and he is putting us on as far as the emphasis is concerned once the fullness of the gentiles once he's through with with us and when i say through i don't really mean through because even when he starts dealing with israel there are going to be some gentiles that are going to be saved as well but notice what he says a partial hardening has come to israel israel not some sort of spiritual israel but the actual authentic ethnic israel the jews he says in verse 26 and so all israel will be saved now when he says all israel he doesn't mean that everyone that's in israel all those who place their faith in him those will be the children of promise of israel he says so all israel will be saved just as it's written the deliverer will come from zion he will remove ungodliness from jaco so at some point in time he is going to remove sin and ungodliness from israel this is my covenant with them when i take their sins away so take heed israel is going to be saved but it doesn't mean that everyone that dies in israel is part of those that are going to be safe when it's going to do so he didn't tell us i don't have his calendar i don't have his his date book i have no idea when these things are going to happen and so it would behoove them as well as it would behoove you to make sure that you have placed your faith in christ if you can't get anything out of this place your faith in christ because i don't care if you are hamas i don't care if you're hezbollah i don't care if you're al-qaeda i don't care if you're isis i don't care if you're jewish i don't care if you're cambodian i don't care if you're from texas i don't care if you're from from pennsylvania if you're from brooklyn i don't care if you're from indianapolis or dc canada i don't care where you're from if you have not placed your faith in christ you will die and go to hell irrespective of what good you think you've done If you have done something evil, but you've placed your faith in Christ, you are forgiven. You have been redeemed. That's the message. We could really stop right there. We could go ahead and play the outro music and that would be that. But we want to deal with what's happening because guys, ladies and gentlemen, it is going to get worse. So Israel's going to have their response and then Hezbollah might join in. They'll respond with him. There's going to be a lot of people that are going to die. Innocent people, although there's no such thing as a good person, billy speaking, but some people who have nothing to do with this are going to die. Jews, Gentiles, those of the Middle East, people are going to die. That's just what's going to happen. Now, the vile people of Hamas make it harder because they do things that most militaries in the world don't do. You are firing rockets and missiles from civilian areas here in Gaza at civilians in Israel. That's not acceptable. That's a war crime. No single rockets were sent from a civilian area. Yeah, you are. You're firing rockets. First of all, the all of Gaza is a civilian area. So there there there is not supposed to be any military outposts in Gaza. So all of Gaza is a civilian area. And you do you put them in in house around hospitals, around schools, apartment buildings and so forth. And you tell the people Hamas threatens the people that if they were to leave or to move because Israel can detect where these rockets were fired from. If you were to leave, then they will kill you or your family. These people are thugs and terrorists and a lot of folks inside Gaza who want these thugs, these wicked people to leave as well. And so they are intentionally making Israel, forcing Israel to kill innocent people. Otherwise, Israel has one of two choices. Let them keep firing the rockets or take the rockets out. The rockets are right beside some baby's crib and some and some and some high rise and I say high rise. Not like a lot of high rises there, but that's what's happening. And so how do you how do you root them out because they're hiding in the midst of civilians? Because again, what are they? They are cowards. Now, what we have today is they are their hostages in their own land. What we have today, though, we have sympathizers who don't think. Now, I understand you sympathize with people die, sympathizing with the Jews or sympathizing with the innocent people of Gaza. I get that. I do get that. But there's some flawed thinking. And here's an example of it. Why is it OK for Israel to go and hurt innocent people in Palestine in retaliation for what Hamas is doing? OK, flawed thinking, because what do you want Israel to do? What do you want? You know what? Let's just let's just be calm. Let's let it all. Let's let bygones be bygones. This is flawed thinking. Someone says we have no business, no business getting involved with Israel and Palestine. I'm going to tell you why we should and why we do have business. I'm going to tell you why that is. Biblical speaking, there's a biblical reason and a rationale for this. According to you, you're saying Hamas is hurting innocent people within Israel. Now, he's saying, according you, innocent, calling the people in Israel innocent, according to you, as though they're not innocent. So Netanyahu has already said that the retaliation will completely basically destroy the Palestinians. Innocent people. So why is that OK? Here's why it's flawed thinking, because no one is saying it's OK. But it's it's necessary. That's the problem. Sometimes, listen, the pain that is going to be felt is not OK, but it's just necessary. I don't think I don't think the Jews. I don't think the Jews are. After utterly destroying them, by the way, if the Jews want to utterly destroy and uproot all of Hamas, all of the Palestinians in and I hate you know the term Palestinian because it is flexible term, but when I say Palestinians, I mean those who are not of Jewish descent. They could utterly destroy, utterly destroy the Palestinians in Gaza, as well as those that are in in the West Bank, to tell them, said neither side is you're right. None are innocent because, again, we've got people. We've got people who are, again, haven't placed their faith in Christ. And so whatever's happening today isn't the worst that they're going to see. It just isn't. I can promise you this. The atrocities that we're seeing happen to people and those that are going to die will pale in comparison to hell. Let me say that again. It will pale in comparison to hell. I think that needs to sink in. And so when things may end up happening here and I think they will, I don't know when, don't know when, but we've got politicians who say things because they want to be political, but even what they're saying is just wrong. Here we've got the great Ilhan Omar and she says, I condemn the horrific acts we are seeing unfold today in Israel against children, women, and the elderly. But look what she says then, we need to call for de-escalation and cease fire. OK, so we want Israel to de-escalate. Think about that for a second. We want Israel to de-escalate. That's like the guy getting beat up. And before he gets a chance to respond, let cooler hands prevail. No, wait a second, because I can promise you this. If my family is threatened, I'm not de-escalating anything until there's no longer a threat to my family. I'm pretty sure you all would agree as well. There's a reason why Ilhan Omar and everyone else in Congress has armed bodyguards, because there's always a threat. It's easy to tell someone else who's getting hit to de-escalate or not to escalate or not to respond when it's not you. Because notice she left a country. She left a country to come to this country. But then continuing. And so now we also have a statement from AOC. Same thing that she would like for, she's calling for an immediate cease fire and de-escalation. To who? Who are you asking to de-escalate? You're not asking for, it seems like you're not asking for Palestinians or for Hamas to de-escalate. You rarely hear them say that. You rarely hear them say that. But matter of fact, I want to play something from a guy. I saw this and this just, this just makes sense. What he says makes sense, even though he's Jewish, but still the logic in this is, is I think spot on. Because there's a lot of folks that are, I'm against what's happening to the Palestinians. Most people who are pro-Palestine, who stand with Palestine, who are against atrocities to the Palestinians, aren't, they really are, they're lying. I realized that there were groups on campus that claim to be pro-Palestinian. And the reason I say they claim to be pro-Palestinians is because when Palestinians are dying by the thousands in the Syrian civil war, when they're by the hundreds of thousands of refugee camps in Lebanon or in Jordan, suffering on the border of Gaza and Egypt or suffering under Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, they don't talk about those Palestinians. They only talk about genuine Palestinian suffering only when it has to do with Israel. And of course, cherry-picked and taken out of context in order to use that and to manipulate that in order to push an agenda against Israel and the Jewish people. So if Israel is going against them, then it's a problem. But if it's with Syria, if it's with anyone else, because if you look at the map, the West Bank is up against another Muslim country. They're not going there. As a matter of fact, when the Palestinians were trying to figure out who was going to occupy this land of Israel, remember Jordan and Syria and Egypt, they didn't want the Palestinians. They don't like them. And so I think we need to temper a little bit of this. I love Palestinians so much because in many cases they simply do not. Now to go back into all the different little battles and scum and so forth, I won't do that. But I think the man, I think he was pretty, I think he was pretty spot on. But let me say this and this is where I want to get to. Israel at some point in time is going to place their faith in the Messiah. How do we know? I said it again. Isaiah 53 is a prophecy. Even though this prophecy does happen and we can as Gentiles can reading 53 look forward to the Messiah coming and being crucified. And then we said ourselves, this prophecy, this is Isaiah making this statement. He's speaking to Israel. And he's noticed when we read this, we've covered this before, but in Isaiah 53, there's a reason why he uses past tense verbs. Even though this is looking forward to something in the future, you would have thought that he would use verbs that are in the future tense. But he doesn't. He uses past tense verbs. What do I mean? He says, Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up, by the way, these are the same things, some of the same passages that Paul is quoting in Romans 9, 10, 11. He says, For he grew up, before him like a tender shoot and like a root out of the parsh ground. Start noticing the past tense verb. He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to him. He was past tense despised, past tense, and forsaken past tense for men or of men. A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and like from one whom men hide their face, he was despised and we did not assume. Again, three past tense verbs. Surely our griefs he himself bore past tense and our sorrows he carried, and yet we ourselves esteemed him, or I'm sorry, we ourselves esteemed him stricken, smitten of God past tense and afflicted past tense. He was pierced through for our transgression past tense. He was crushed for our iniquities past tense. The chastening for our well-being fell upon him past tense and by his scourging we are healed. Why is that present tense? There's a reason why. Because Israel, when God is going to fully finish his plan, their hearts are going to be changed just like ours and they are going to look back and say this. When Jesus comes back according to his own statements in Matthew 24, Jesus says all of Israel is going to rejoice in him and say, Blessed be the name of him who comes in the name of the Lord. They're going to speak about, Jesus, this is what Israel is going to say. So they're going to say it, but when? Well, after Israel has gone through a tribulation and an affliction like never seen before, they are going to cry out for peace. Then there's going to be this distress like never seen before. They thought they've seen something. It's going to get worse and worse and worse. As a matter of fact, here's a passage, a prophecy from God. Notice what he says. Zachariah 14 too. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle and the city will be captured. The houses plundered, the women ravaged and half the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. The Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as he fights on a day of battle. So now this is going to be in the future. This is not now. So more of what we see today is going to happen at an even higher rate. I couldn't even begin to imagine what the news media is going to say when this happens. But it's going to be bad. But what does this have to do with us? As a matter of fact, let me type this in. What does this have to do with us? And so, if I can type correctly, this is what God says. Not me, but what the Bible says. He says, Now the Lord said to Abram, Go forth from your country and from your relatives and from your father's house to a land which I will show you. That by the way, guys, is Israel. Israel seems to be featured pretty heavily in the Bible. And it is. And I will make you, by the way, when Jesus comes back, where is he going? He's not... Listen, I love Dallas. I think Dallas is a nice place. He's not coming to Dallas. Born and raised in Indianapolis. He's not going to... to Indianapolis. He's not going to stop buying watcher cults game. He's not going to Florida. He's not going to Canada. He's not going to see any of the Seven Ones of the world. No, he's going to Israel. Not to China. Not to Mexico. Not to Venezuela. He's going to Israel to Jerusalem to be specific. Thank you, Terrell. That's where he's going. And so look what he says. I will make you a great nation. Agoi. Or goyim. Great nation, great people. And I will bless you and make your name great. And so you shall be a blessing. This is important. Then he says, I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. Couple things before we continue. Blessing those who bless you. Let me just say this. America isn't so great except for the fact that we do two things. One, we help to send out the gospel. But more than that, we defend Israel. Because we have blessed Israel, I'm fully convinced that God has blessed us. But we have kind of waned in our support and blessing of Israel. But that doesn't mean that God won't deal with us because of our sin. No. Everyone is going to suffer at some point in time. But he says, I will bless those who bless you. Do we think that God didn't keep his word? Sure. And I think the biggest reason why we haven't seen some of the atrocities, some of the things that have happened now, we're going to see our share. We are going to see our share. But the reason why we might be better off than other countries, and if you think that we're not better off than other countries, you haven't moved. Because we have this funny thing where we think that America's not that great. No, America's not that great. No, Sweden and Denmark are far better. But you haven't moved there. No one is breaking down the doors to get to these other countries that are trying to come here. We got folks that are making a thousand mile trek, dangerous pilgrimage to come here because it is America. Now, does it mean that the people here are the greatest? No. It certainly doesn't mean that. But there are some freedoms and opportunities that we have here. And I think God has blessed us in ways that we don't deserve simply because we have blessed Israel. That's the only reason. Now, look at the countries that don't. Look at the countries that do and look at the countries that don't. And you tell me, would you rather live in a country? Matter of fact, just a quick little non-scientific poll in the chat. Would you rather live in a country that is known for supporting and blessing Israel or a country that goes against Israel? How about Yemen? Would you like to live in Yemen? Or would you like to live in Syria? What about Jordan? What about Turkey? No. No. You like being here. You like having your Apple phones or if you're not really good Christians, your Samsung phones. You like having your Ice-T, Mocha Lada, Chocolata, Mocha, whatever it is those drinks are. You like that. You like air conditioning. You like Wi-Fi. I don't care if it works all the time or not. You like 5G or 4G or whatever it is. You like all that stuff. You like to work from home. You like to complain about going into work. You like to watch movies. You like to stream. You complain about how much it costs to stream. But you like it. You like being able to go to a grocery store. That is, if some riders haven't burned down or looted your store, you like going to the grocery store and buying overpriced eggs and chicken and milk. You like that. You do. Because God has blessed us in such a way. But notice what he says. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. Look what he says, though. This is important. He says, And in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Remember, we forget about what God is doing. God doesn't. God does not forget his work. We do. Matter of fact, not only do we forget about his work, we also forget about our own work. We forget about things we... Oh, I forgot. I promised that. I forgot how I said I was going to do it. That's how we are. That's how we are. As a matter of fact, we always forget. But now, God hadn't forgotten and God hadn't and don't think that even other countries that hate us haven't forgotten. Because, again, what we're seeing is going to happen next in America. And I say next. I should say next again. Because we keep thinking that we are... We forget everything. We forget what happened last week. We forget what... What would happen a week ago. We forget what happened a month, a year ago. We forget what happens... What happened 22 years ago. Now, what we see here, remember just a few weeks ago, month or so ago, there was a sort of an outrage because Christians were being attacked in other countries, in India and in Pakistan. Can I just read something? Because we're still talking about... We're still talking... You're right, Nancy. Prosperity makes one forget about God. You are so right. Let me put that on the screen because, sweetheart, you just... You just... You just... You just... You just... Just, sweetheart, you said a mouthful. You said prosperity makes one forget about God. But what happens when we suffer? When we suffer, oh, lord, I cry out to you, Father, don't forget me. When I'm down I think about God. When I got money in the count, Jesus, Who? That's how we are. But remember a few weeks ago, a few months ago, we saw churches and Christians being attacked and killed right and parade through the streets. Who do we pray to? Who did that? What Muslims? Can I read just what the Muslims think about you according to their book? Now it shouldn't be, it should not be that anybody thinks more highly of their religious book than ours. No one should think more highly of their religious book than we think about the Bible. In the Quran it says we shall, this is Surah 3, 151, we shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. That's us. That's us. And kill them wherever you find them. Kill them, such as the recompense to all those who disbelieve. That's Surah 2, 191. Surah 95, then kill the disbelievers, capture them and besiege them and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush. Ambush them, kill them, huh. Isn't that what we just saw happen in Israel? Isn't that what we've been seeing in other parts of the world? There are some Christians that are a lot more serious about their faith, about their walk than us. You're absolutely right Orange. They hate us. They hate Israel and they hate you. Don't think, don't think they only hate the Jews. They hate the Jews because even it seems like they hate me more because guess what? They're in their backyard, they're neighbors. If we had a Muslim majority country beside us they would hate us and we would see an incursion. By the way, we might want to fix that border because we've found that over 150 nations or I think it's 105 or 150. I can't remember the exact number of people from different nations or represented those that are coming through our southern border. They haven't forgotten. They haven't forgotten about us. That's what they think about us. Tonight authorities in Pakistan cracking down after days of religious violence in the country mobs setting fire to the roads of Punjab province burning five churches and attacking dozens of Christian homes. Police deploying more than 6,000 officers and troops arresting at least 146 Muslims in connection with the attacks. There was no absolutely no logic or reason to attack or ransack the Christian worship places or the houses for that matter because somebody who has not done that right cannot be punished for that. Police also arresting two Christian men who allegedly tore pages and wrote insults in a copy of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. It was that supposed act of desecration that triggered the violence. Some police have reportedly been fearful to intervene in such attacks in case the mob turns on them. This protestor asking, are Punjab police? Are they not Muslims? If they are, why are they siding with the scoundrel blasphemer? The Christian community in the region left devastated. More than 50 Christians have been killed and at least 20,000 have fled their homes. The violence was sparked over plans by the government to give privileged status to a Hindu ethnic group in the region. So now I'm gonna get this straight. If we desecrate or insult them or their book, then we should be put to death. Now they can do the same with us. No, no, let's just be clear and blunt. You wouldn't do that here. You wouldn't do that here. You guys, let me just, I'm gonna say it again. Somebody get upset with me, but these Muslims that are kidding at all, I'm not saying all, so don't, don't, don't at me. But what we're seeing, they're cowards. They are cowards because just like I said, those folks that are pro-Palestinian, there are planes that can take them over there if they wanna join the fray. There are planes that'll take you over here. You won't do anything upfront to anyone. You're gonna do the cowardly thing because that's what your religion calls for. It mad at me all you want to. If you are a Muslim, you are going to hell. If you die a Muslim, you will die a Muslim in hell. You will look up and you'll realize that Allah has lied to you, that Muhammad has lied to you, that all your, the Hadiths and so forth, they lied to you. And you wanna see real desecration because so will your pages be there as well. Have a problem with that? That's fine. You'll do what you do to people who are unsuspecting, to women, to children, but you will not, you will not, you cowards will not do that to real men. You just will not do that. I'm not trying to talk tough or whatever, but you know when there's someone that's gonna counterattack you, you just won't do it. You never do it. That's why you've mastered the art of deception. That's why your book says to lie in wait, in ambush. Your book teaches you that because that's what you are. And that's fine. You shall have your reward. And if you think that Christians, true Christians don't have a problem about dying what they believe, you don't know us yet. You don't, matter of fact, you're finding out that even with the bullet to the head, they're not gonna waver. They are not gonna waver, but the fact of the matter is the reason why most of the Muslims in Muslim majority countries are Muslims is because of threat, because of fear. That's a true statement as well. Don't believe me, ask most of the Muslims that have left. So that being the case, this is what's happening. And by the way, guys, this is what Jesus said to his disciples, but it's not just his disciples. He says, if the world hates you, then know it has hated me before it hates you. They hate Jesus. That being the statement though, that being the case, so to do most Jews. God has is dealing with him. He's gonna bring that nation back, but it doesn't mean that all Jews are coming back. It doesn't mean that all Jews are gonna be saved. Matter of fact, the overwhelming majority of people who live in that land at this point in time are going to die and go to hell because they will not put their faith in Christ. So they along with, and so it's not like we're talking about the most sanctified people on the planet, but it's still a travesty, it's still tragic to see people just dying senselessly. That's a huge problem, but Jesus says, if you were of the world, the world would love its own. We're not of the world. So they hate him, they're gonna hate you. And notice what he says also, blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness. For theirs is the king of heaven. Blessed are you when they persecute, when they, I'm sorry, when people insult you and persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Not people just saying bad things about you or doing bad things to you. You are not blessed if someone does something to you. You are blessed, he says, happy is that person who when it happens, it happens to them because of his name's sake, because of Christ. A lot of folks die. Dying for him is something totally different. And so you're gonna have these, it's gonna happen. It's going to happen. And again, as I said before, not just is it going to happen. I said, is America next? I said, really should be, is America next again? Because we sometimes forget that there are people who hate us and we have forgotten about this. There's me that we can't breathe. I don't know. I think we're getting high tech. I don't know if it was a commercial aircraft. We have no idea how many were on board or what the extent of it. Here, the police officers, FBI agents, and you can see the two towers, huge explosion now raining down. Now, that's what happened, but we forget about this. Now I don't know if you've seen what's been happening lately. Don't know if you've been noticing what's been happening lately. There are a lot of folks on YouTube and Facebook and other social media platforms that have been noticing what's been happening. Especially in New York. Especially in New York, because what I'm gonna show you would not have happened, would not have happened 22 years ago. But it's happening now. With the great mayor of New York, you know the one who says he's a Christian and calls God a she, yet that mayor, Mayor Eric Adams. Hey, and saying clearly, if you are miles from a house of worship of any kind, you do not have to apply for a permit to amplify your call to Friday prayer. Now, is there anything wrong with them allowing Muslims the same freedom that they're allowing Christians? No, but you know what they don't do? They don't make special announcements for anything regarding Christians. Because again, if we were of the world, they love us. But because of Jesus, they hate us. And so because there's this great grand announcement about their fellowship and their partnering with Muslims. I'm committed to giving you the recognition you deserve. And so we're going to show the world how we come together with all of our faith leaders. And under the law, we are all treated equally. That's why I want to be very clear. We are not changing the rules to benefit anyone or anyone for them. The law, the law, the law, the law, the law, the law. Now, that's what's happening. Being promoted, being sanctioned. Not, I shouldn't say being sanctioned. I don't, I take that back. I shouldn't say being sanctioned, but certainly being promoted, being advertised. You're not, we don't see this happening with the church. Now the only time we see our politicians be they Republican or Democrat. I'm not picking a side here. So I don't want you all think that I'm picking a side but be they Republican or Democrat. When we see them mostly caring about Christianity, it's come time to vote because they will show up at the church. I don't care if it's congressmen, mayor, councilmen, whoever, governor, whatever. If they show up at the church to talk to you about what they're going to do but they haven't been going to church, show them the door. Please put that, please put that Christian light Republican or Christian light Democrat out of your church. If that's what, if they're, if their only aim is to come and to exploit you. Where were you at last Sunday, governor so-and-so? Where were you at last Sunday, mayor so-and-so? Well, I was, okay, bye. Go recruit them to vote for you. Republican or Democrat? Again, God does not write, Jesus does not write on the back of donkeys and elephants. When Joshua comes before the commander of the Lord's army, Joshua doesn't know who he's doing. This is a man that God has chosen to replace Moses. And what does he, what does Joshua so boldly ask? Who are you for? Are you for us? Are you for them? And the commander of the Lord's army said, no. Oh, wait a second. This wasn't a closed in question. This was an opening question. Opening the questions require you to give more than just a one word yes or no response. I asked you, are you for us? Are you for them? No, but I'm the commander of the Lord's army. No Joshua, no Democrats, no Republican, no whoever you independent, who side are you on? Cause Joshua, don't get it twisted. Don't forget this. If you, Joshua, are found not to be on my side, I will kill you. This is God speaking, not me. Not me speaking for God, but this is what God said. This was the angel of the Lord's, this was the commander of the Lord's army says, no, make sure that you are on my side. Now Israel said yes. And then as soon as they, as my sister said, as they got blessed, they forgot about God. Jesus is not a Republican nor a Democrat. Now I understand you might want to vote Republican or Democrat or you might vote Republican because you might feel as though that they have some of your political best interest at heart. I don't have a problem with that. I don't have a problem with that because we are against abortion, against the LGBTQ agenda and so forth that we are against homosexual men. That's fine. Because just as long as you recognize that this Republican candidate is a tool, not necessarily a Christian. He may or may not be. In many cases, they're probably not. Same thing with Democrats. They are a tool. That's fine. Do not put them on your Christian mantle that there are somebody that should be used or someone that you should be looked up to in reverence. They should not be, all right? But now what's happened though, we've got these politicians who want, they'll placate the Christians just to be used, but they will certainly, they seem to do a lot more for other religious groups, especially Muslims. And we're not talking about a small group. This is not a disenfranchised group around where we're talking about over a billion plus people that call themselves Muslim. Again, not all people that call themselves Muslim are true Muslim because when we count some of these people in these nations, they have to be called Muslim or they'll be killed because if you leave Islam, then you can be put to death. So therefore they have no interest in claiming that they are not a Muslim. You see these honor-killing someone who has left Islam and converted Christianity. You gotta die. And so we need to be aware. But guess what? The baldness of them is starting to increase. Their baldness is starting to increase. You don't believe me? Listen to them. By the way, this is in New York City. Done hiding. We're done. We're done being tortured and hurt and judged. This is the correct religion. This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be upon of Islam. And we will not stop until it enters every home. I believe him. I absolutely believe what he's saying. Now, not that it's the correct religion because it's not. Let me just help you out. It's not. It's the absolute worst. It's the opposite of the correct religion. But I believe him when he says that they will not stop until it enters there. They want to dominate and be in control. By the way, when you're insecure and you don't have a whole lot going for you, you want to dominate people. When you have nothing happening with yourself or in yourself, you want to force people, you want to physically force people to succumb to what you believe. And that is Islam. That is, what does it mean? It means to submit. That's what the word means. But what they really mean is to subdue. That's really what they mean. And so we want to subdue you any and everywhere way we can. And so I believe what he's trying to tell us. We need to wake up and hear it as well. I want you to repeat after me. I want to hear it in every single district. It should tremble. He wants to hear it and they are good. Listen, this, let this, let this send a warning to you. Listen to them. Brooklyn should hear it. The Bronx should hear it. Queens should hear it. Say it as if the Oma depends on this. My brothers and sisters. Laila! There's no God worthy of worship except Allah, the God of Jesus, the God of Moses, the God of Abraham, and the God of the last and final prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. How about some of you really super ultra bold Christians who, you know, you guys can cast demons out of everything. You can do it by Zoom. Go there. How about you go there? How about you demonstrate your power there? I call, I throw a flag on the play for your weak inconsistencies. Well, what about you? Remember, and I've got folks that will testify. I told you guys, I gave you the video about the 42 Muslims have wanted to jump on me. They're threatened to kill me because someone invited me to one of their Juma services and they knew that I was a Christian. And so they began asking me questions. And I told them, I don't have a problem. Listen, then you want to jump me fine. I got some folks that come after you. If that's how it's going to be, this isn't prison. So I'm not trying to, I'm sorry. But they asked me what I thought. I said, Jesus, God, and Allah is not. I said, when you guys pray, when you guys pray, when you get on your carpets, I call them the magic carpets. When they get on their rugs and they bend and they pray, I said, there's nobody on the other end. Oh, you could have here a pin drop. They were upset. And they want to tell me how this book is that we follow is flawed, is faulty. It was changed, is corrupted. Fine. Well, then change your book because Surah 1094 says that all what you must do is ask the people of the book, that's us and whatever we say, do not doubt. That was written in the seventh century. If you say the Bible's been changed, the Bible that we have now is exactly what it looks like in the seventh century. I don't do well when talking to Muslims because I'm going to take it to the level that you take it to. And they tend to want to, that's fine. Listen, again, when you pray, there's nobody on the other end. When we pray, we literally have the God of the universe on that end. There is no God, but our God. And Jesus is Lord. The Lord is God. Now, what we see happening here, we see literally prophecy beginning to unfold. That's literally what we see. Now, how far along in prophecy are we? We don't know. And God is not going to let us know, but He'll let us know by the signs that we see. And we are getting closer and closer. What we are is closer than we were last week. But what's going to happen is because we are a forgetful nation. Things will kind of grow and get intense. And at some point in time, they're gonna subside. And then we'll relax. We're going to relax. And there's gonna be something else. And next thing we know, we've got some of the same thing. Now, how would it happen here in America? It cannot happen. It cannot happen by them hang gliding in or what have you. But what it reminded me of, some of you all aren't old enough. But some of you are old enough. Some of you all are old enough. Y'all remember the movie Red Dawn? Back in the 80s, we used to have these 70s. Back in the 70s, I remember this vividly. Especially, I'd never forget in the 70s, they kind of waned a little bit in the early 80s. But definitely in the 70s, we used to have these little bomb drills. You know, schools have tornado drills and fire drills. We used to have tornado drills, fire drills. And did anyone have any bomb drills where you would have to practice getting underneath your desk and so forth. They would have a little alarm and what have you, why? Because we were afraid, not of Islam or anything else, but we were afraid of Russia. And there was this movie called Red Dawn. And in Red Dawn, you're right, there was a remake that came out. But the Red Dawn, the original, Ryan stopped watching the remakes, watched the original. But in Red Dawn, you've got these Russians coming in and people are like, what's happening? And the school, the Wolverines, they started fighting back now. You couldn't do that really. Why? Because everybody's got a couple of extra guns laying around. So it's not gonna happen that way. No, what's gonna happen with America is we will crumble internally. We will forget even the values that we have. We'll make the world hate us and then we'll also cause us to hate ourselves. It's one thing if the people outside the house hate you fine, but when everyone on the house inside the house hate you, that's what I'm showing my age. That's when we have a problem. The people on the, when the people inside hate you, when your own family hates you, I hate this house. I hate my backyard. I hate my front yard. I hate my kitchen. I hate the dog. I hate the cats. I hate the paint. I hate all of this. That's what we're seeing here in America. And we're seeing this happen also. Do I think America is the mis, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what I, I'm almost convinced that America will do such a great job of destroying itself that we won't even be thought of. We might be. We might be, which is why Israel is not going to be, not going to have this problem to the, to the full extent right now, because let's just be clear. It would take all the nations of the world to fight against us. China couldn't defeat us militarily, nor could Russia. That part should be, now, could they hurt us? Sure, but could we destroy them? Yes. Could they destroy us? Not really. But what's going to end up happening? At some point in time, our systems and our, more importantly, our senses will be degraded. What's even going to happen, or hurt us even more so, is the true force in America. Well, what's the true force in America? Well, the true force in America are the believers that are here in America, the Christians. You know, you guys, you guys, you smart Christians, you folks, you folks that watch Christian content on YouTube and Facebook and everywhere else, and that go to church and love the Lord, I mean, really love the Lord. That's the true soul of America. That's the force behind America. And we have become a group of people that are less attentive to the things of God. No, what we really want, we really want more things that satisfy us. We want the stuff. We want the money. We want the gifts. We want the signed gifts. No, the word of God ain't enough. Noop, noop, noop, noop. I got to speak in this language. I got to do all these different things. The word of God is not enough. I want more stuff. Don't believe me? Go to the average church. In church, the average church in America is becoming an apostate church. Someone said America with three Ks is going out of business. Well, my friend, where are you gonna go? I'm not one of those guys that hate America. I love America. You do too, which is why you're here. Which is why you're here. You guys, listen, this isn't the place to be. Anti-Americanism ain't gonna go well here. How do I know? Let me just say this. So I can get back on my church soapbox rant. Soapbox rant. There's not a nation on the planet, not one nation, and I will dare anyone to prove me wrong, not one nation on this planet that does not owe its existence or its standing to America in some way, shape, or fashion. You pick the nation. Well, as China, would they exist? What would Japan have done to China if it weren't for us? Well, what about Japan? And we literally been defending them for the last, what, 60 years, 70 years? Even Iraq, even Iran. Yeah, they do too. Even the countries that hate us pick a country, name a country. When there's an earthquake, when there's a catastrophe, who's Johnny on the spot, the United States of America? Let there be a tsunami. We're there. Let there be a country that hates us, but there's a large earthquake, a 12.5 on Scarab. We're there. We're there. Who's not killing other folks? Because there's this one threat here, that's us. Why has China not attacked Taiwan? They might, they might later, but us. So let's get, let's stop leaving, and I agree with you. We do read what we sow. That includes America. But because we have been blessing Israel, God is gonna keep blessing us when we stop. But I think at some point in time, we're going to. I think at some point in time, we are going to. Why? Because we're selfish. We're selfish, we want what we want, and we hate ourselves at the same time. Isn't that like an American? I'm gonna go buy all of these things that I want, and then hate myself for doing it. I'll go spend $1,000 on some clothes, and then turn around and give them away. Because that's what we are. We are, we're blessed, but we are some of the worst people. Sorry to say, and I can't, well, of course you can't talk about, it's me, I can talk about America, because I'm American. It's like, I can talk about my family. You can't, but I can talk about my own. You can talk about your family. I can't, because it's your family. So, yeah, we got problems here in America. But let me just say this, and let's just be clear. With all the problems in America, all the problems in Israel, it's coming at us. We are going to suffer persecution. Those that even want to live godly, what have we told? We are going to suffer persecution. You better be ready to deal with it. I can promise you it's not going to get easier. Now, I don't know what the world's going to look like in 20 years. Lord knows I have no idea what it's going to look like in 20 years, 40 years, 50 years. I know what it looked like when I was telling my kids, or really my grandkids and my kids, what it was like. What it was like when I was a young boy. We could just go and get on our bikes and ride everywhere, as long as we're back in time. Food was better, food was different. Everything was different, everything was better. We had video games, we didn't spend time playing video games. We wanted to get out and do stuff. We had rock fights, got hit, broke our arms, and enjoyed it, we had fun. Now we got kids that are allergic to air. We got kids that are allergic to grass. We got kids that are allergic to paint. We lived in houses with lead paint. Rode around, our parents smoked. They smoked in the car with the windows up. They left us in hot cars in the summer. And we're still here. Drank out of the rusty water hoses in the backyard, did all these different things. And we were tougher, we were better. I say better, I'm sorry, I'm sorry young folk. I'm sorry. But now, because we're weaker externally, we're also weaker internally, and certainly weaker spiritually. I do believe, some of y'all might disagree, but I do believe in a rapture. You mean tell me, Corey, there's gonna be this secret rapture and folks aren't gonna know where we're going? Well, I think as we're going, when it happens, it's gonna be so few of us, if we won't even notice. It'll be like four or five folks on a milk carton box. That's what's gonna happen. And so guys, I'm saying this to you, be prepared. I think fortunately for me, I've seen some of the worst of the worst. No, I take it back. Well, I've seen some horrible people. I've been around some horrible people. I'm talking about people that would do some diabolical dash of things. I've been around folks that would cut people's heads off just because. I've seen a guy that tried to do so with his cellmate. I've seen guys, though, boiling cheese or baby oil on someone's face in the skin, just, I've seen that. I've seen people just do horrible things to each other just because they were upset and angry. I've never seen it like this in war, this level, this level, but it's going to get worse. And God keeps giving us an inkling and we keep saying, all right, catch me. You know what, Lord? Listen, I hear what you're saying. I hear what you're doing, but it's almost Christmas. And I got to start my Christmas shopping because I want to beat the rush this year. Black Friday comes early and early each year. And that's what's important because I want to celebrate baby Jesus. Seven pounds, six pounds, baby Jesus. Isn't that right? I've got to buy some toys and some stuff. So hurry up and get this war over with. We've got other things to do. That's us. And so is it going to come to America? Well, sure. Sure, because the Christians don't care. That's going to be our biggest problem. That's going to be our biggest issue. By the way, you guys, before I leave, I want to thank you guys for the, for the super chat. Thank you. Let me just say this in closing. There's not a lot that we're going to be able to do about it other than just be diligent and stick it out and be prepared to handle it, be prepared to share the gospel. The most important thing that you could ever do, the most important thing that you can get from this, ladies and gentlemen, is to share the gospel. Make sure that those that you love and those that you don't love, that people know about the gospel. Are you with me? If you can do that, you will show yourself to be a good Christian because anyone who does not have the son, Jew, Gentile, it doesn't matter. Palestinian, American, it doesn't matter. If you do not have the son, you do not have life. Amen.
