MUSIC ANNOUNCER: WELCOME TO MANNA-FEST HOSTED BY INTERNATIONAL EVANGELIST TEACHER AND AUTHOR PERRY STONE. ENJOY UNIQUE INSIGHT INTO PROPHETIC AND PRACTICAL TRUTH. IT'S TIME TO FEAST ON FRESH MANNA SO GET READY TO BE BLESSED AND ENCOURAGED. AND NOW HERE IS YOUR HOST AND TEACHER PERRY STONE... TODAY I'M GOING TO DEAL WITH THE SUBJECT OF THE COMING WAR OF GOG OF MAGOG AND THE EZEKIEL FILE. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WE WERE BLESSED TO GO INTO THE HOUSE OF A FORMER ISRAELI PRESIDENT AND THEY'RE ON DISPLAY AND IT'S NOT REALLY OPEN GENERALLY TO THE PUBLIC, BUT WE HAD SPECIAL PERMISSION. WE SAW SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING. WE SAW THESE TABLETS THAT WERE ON DISPLAY, WHICH HAD BEEN BROUGHT FROM WHAT THEY SAID WAS THE TOMB OF THE PROPHET EZEKIEL IN THE AREA OF ANCIENT BABYLON. AND THEY WERE SMUGGLED IN MANY YEARS AGO INTO THE PRESIDENT'S HOUSE. AND I THINK WE HAVE A PICTURE OF THOSE RIGHT HERE. THESE ARE CALLED THE EZEKIEL TABLETS. AND I WAS SO FASCINATED BECAUSE THEY ARE CALLED BAS-RELIEF. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ACTUAL REAL LETTERS ARE RAISED WITH THE BACKGROUND REMOVED AROUND THE LETTERS. IT'S VERY INTERESTING. SOMEONE REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO DO THIS, BUT TODAY WE'RE GOING TO CONCENTRATE ON THAT PROPHET. AND WE'RE GOING TO CONCENTRATE ON THE PROPHECIES THAT HE GAVE CONCERNING THE TIME OF END. NOW, IF WE GO INTO THE SCRIPTURES CONCERNING THE PROPHET EZEKIEL, WE FIND THAT WE BEGIN IN CHAPTER 36, AND THIS IS A PROPHECY CONCERNING THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL AND HOW THAT GOD WOULD ONE DAY BRING A RESTORATION TO THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL. THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL OFTEN ARE THE AREA OF SAMARIA AND JUDEA AND THE JUDEAN WILDERNESS. THESE WERE THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. OF COURSE, JERUSALEM IS SURROUNDED BY SEVEN MOUNTAINS AS WELL. WHEN WE COME FROM CHAPTER 36 TO CHAPTER 37, WE GET THIS VERY FAMOUS PROPHECY CONCERNING THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES. IT WAS A VISION THAT THE PROPHET HAD OF HOW ISRAEL WAS NOTHING BUT DIVIDED BONES AND HOW THE BREATH CAME UPON THEM. AND THE SKINS CAME UP ON THEM AND THEY ROSE UP AND BECOME A GREAT ARMY. MOST JEWISH PEOPLE WHO SURVIVED THE HOLOCAUST, WHO BELIEVED IN SCRIPTURE, IDENTIFY EZEKIEL CHAPTER 37, THE DRY BONES PROPHESY AS SURVIVING THE HOLOCAUST AND COMING OUT OF THE GRAVES AS THE PROPHET SAID, BACK TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL, IT'S A VERY POWERFUL PROPHECY. NOW THESE PROPHECIES ALMOST SEEM TO GO IN AN ORDER AS FAR AS THE CHAPTERS DIVISION CHAPTER DIVISIONS IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL, YOU COME THEN FROM CHAPTER 37 AND YOU COME FOR TWO CHAPTERS THAT WE WILL KEY IN ON, IN THE NEXT FEW MOMENTS THAT IS CHAPTER 38 AND CHAPTER 39 OF THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL. CHAPTER 38 IS A PROPHECY OF HOW SURROUNDING NATIONS AND IT HAPPENS THAT TODAY, THESE NATIONS STILL EXIST, ALTHOUGH THE OLDER NAMES ARE USED IN THE BIBLE, BUT THESE NATIONS ARE ALL ISLAMIC NATIONS. AND THAT'S GOING TO COME INTO PLAY IN THE STUDY IN THE NEXT FEW MOMENTS, BUT THEY'RE IN CHAPTER 38 IT GIVES YOU THE SURROUNDING NATIONS THAT ARE GOING TO ATTACK ISRAEL IN TWO LOCATIONS THAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING IN THE NEXT FEW MOMENTS. THEN IN CHAPTER 39, WE SEE IN THIS PROPHECY, THE DETAILS OF THE AFTERMATH OF THE BATTLE, WHICH IS OFTEN CALLED THE BATTLE OF GOG OF MAGOG. AGAIN, THE BATTLE OF GOG MAGOG, WHICH WILL BE OUR SUBJECT TODAY. NOW WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THE WAR. THAT'S COMING IN THE FUTURE CALLED THE WAR OF GOG AND MAGOG, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE'S SEVERAL WARS OF PROPHECY THAT ARE COMING AND LET'S JUST GO OVER A COUPLE OF THESE WARS IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO THAT, WE'LL LOOK AT THESE VERY CAREFULLY. THE FIRST WAR THAT WE KNOW, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS THE COMING WAR OF GOG OF MAGOG IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER 38 AND 39, WHICH HAPPENS IN THE LATTER DAYS WHEN ISRAEL IS BROUGHT BACK AS A NATION AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE LIVING SAFELY IN THE LAND. THE SECOND WAR IS WHAT WE CALL THE WARS OF THE ANTICHRIST, WHICH ARE NUMEROUS, BUT IN DANIEL CHAPTER 11, WE FIND THAT THE NORTHERN PART OF AFRICA, WHICH INCLUDES LIBYA, ETHIOPIA, AND EGYPT ARE OVERTAKEN BY THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS ARMIES DURING THE TRIBULATION. AND WE ALSO SEE WHEN WE READ THE SCRIPTURE FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT JERUSALEM HALF OF JERUSALEM WILL BE TAKEN SEIZED BY THE ANTICHRIST. AND ALSO THE COUNTRY OF LEBANON IS TAKEN BY HIM. DAMASCUS SYRIA ABOUT THAT TIME IS DESTROYED. SO THERE'S THESE MAJOR, MIDDLE EASTERN WARS, WHICH ARE INVOLVED WITH THE COMING ANTICHRIST. SO THAT'S OUR SECOND WAR SERIES THAT WE READ ABOUT IN PROPHECY IN THE TIME OF END. THEN THE THIRD WAR, THAT'S THE MOST FAMOUS. I'D SAY EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD HAS HEARD OF THIS. IF THEY HAVE ANY BIBLE KNOWLEDGE WHATSOEVER, IT'S CALLED THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON. AND HE GATHERED THEM TOGETHER, REVELATION 16 IN THE VALLEY OF MEGIDDO, A HAR-MAGEDDON, THE TEL OF MEGIDDO THE MOUNTAIN OF MEGIDDO WHICH THAT WAS THE CITY THAT EXISTED BACK IN THAT TIME, BACK IN SOLOMON'S DAY, IT WAS A HUGE CHARIOT CITY THAT SOLOMON BUILT UP ON THIS HIGH MOUNTAIN, THIS HIGH HILL. AND SO THAT SURROUNDING AREA THAT SURROUNDS THAT MOUNTAIN, IT'S A 200 MILE SQUARE AREA, FLAT LAND, WHICH IS KNOWN AS VALLEY THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON, OR ALSO KNOWN AS THE VALLEY OF JEZREEL IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR BATTLE TOWARD THE TIME OF THE END OF THE TRIBULATION. AND WE FIND THAT THE CHRIST WILL RETURN. AND THEN, THEN THERE IS WHAT IS LATER, AND THIS IS AT THE, AT THE END OF THE 1000 YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST ON EARTH. THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON HAPPENS TOWARD THE END OF THE TRIBULATION CHRIST RETURNS RULES ON EARTH FOR 1000 YEARS, REVELATION 20. BUT THEN AT THE END OF THE 1000 YEARS, THERE'S THIS VERY STRANGE VERSE THAT SAYS THAT SATAN COMES OUT OF THE ABYSS AND GOES AND STIRS THE ARMIES UP AGAIN OF GOG AND MAGOG TO COME OUT AND ATTACK ISRAEL AGAIN. NOW THIS HAS CONFUSED PEOPLE, REVELATION 27:8 TO COMPARE IT TO EZEKIEL 38 AND 39 AND SAYING IT'S THE SAME BATTLE, BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE SAME BATTLE. THE END BATTLE AT THE END OF THE THOUSAND YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST CALLED THE BATTLE OF GOG OF MAGOG, WHERE DOES GOG OF MAGOG COME FROM? WHERE DID, WHY DO THEY SHOW UP AGAIN? BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THESE ARE SPIRITS CONNECTED TO THESE NATIONS. THERE'S THE KEY OF UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT PLACES WHERE THE NAME IS MENTIONED A THOUSAND YEARS APART. SO THAT WILL BE THE NEXT ONE. SO YOU HAVE THE BATTLE OF GOG OF MAGOG OF THE LATTER DAYS, YOU HAVE THE BATTLES OF THE ANTICHRIST. YOU HAVE THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE BATTLE LED BY SATAN HIMSELF OF GOG, NOT MAGOG, BUT GOD WHO COMES BACK AGAIN AT THE END OF THE 1000 YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST. NOW, WHAT WE WANT TO CONCENTRATE ON RIGHT NOW IS EZEKIEL CHAPTER 38 AND 39. AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE COALITION THAT'S GOING TO ATTACK ISRAEL IN THE FUTURE. THIS HAS NOT YET HAPPENED. IT'S GOING TO ATTACK ISRAEL IN THE FUTURE FROM TWO DIFFERENT FRONTS. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN WHAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS EZEKIEL CHAPTER 39 THE END RESULTS OF THE BATTLE, INCLUDING THIS REALLY, REALLY ELABORATE CLEAN UP, THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE PLACE OF CLEANING UP THE WEAPONS AND THE DEAD BODIES AFTER THIS HUGE, MASSIVE BATTLE TAKES PLACE, WHICH AGAIN HAS NOT YET HAPPENED, BUT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. NOW I WANT TO BEGIN TALKING ABOUT THE WAR OF GOG OF MAGOG AND BRING THREE POINTS TO YOU RIGHT NOW. NUMBER ONE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THESE SEVEN NATIONS LISTED, AS WE WILL SHOW YOU ARE ISLAMIC NATIONS THAT ARE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL EZEKIEL CHAPTER 28, VERSES 2-6, I'M SORRY, 38 VERSES 2-6. SECONDLY, THIS WAR WILL OCCUR IN THE LAST DAYS WHEN ISRAEL HAS BEEN RESTORED EZEKIEL 38 VERSE 8, AND ALSO VERSE 16. THE THIRD THING I NEED TO TELL YOU IS THIS ISRAEL WILL BE IN CONTROL OF AN AREA THAT THEY DID NOT CONTROL TO THE '67 WAR AND DEFINITELY IN THE '73 YOM KIPPUR WAR. AND THAT IS ISRAEL HAS TO CONTROL AN AREA CALLED THE GOLDEN HEIGHTS, WHICH IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IS CALLED THE BASHAN. AND THEY GAINED ALL OF THAT BACK IN THE DAY, SIX DAY WAR OF 1967. NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT. YOU UNDERSTAND THIS SYRIA CANNOT BE IN CONTROL OF THE BASHAN OR THE GOLAN HEIGHTS WHEN THIS WAR TAKES PLACE, ISRAEL HAS TO BE IN CONTROL. AND THIS IS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE IN THOSE SEASONS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BECAUSE THAT'S A REAL KEY TO THIS PROPHECY IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER 38 IN VERSE 18. I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE GOLAN HEIGHTS OR THE BASHAN IN JUST A MOMENT. NOW BECAUSE OF THE RISE OF THE COUNTRY OF PERSIA. AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ME MENTION THE NAME PERSIA. AND WHEN YOU HEAR ME MENTION THE NAME PERSIA, IT IS TODAY, IT IS THE COUNTRY OF IRAN AND IRAN IS AN ARCH ENEMY OF ISRAEL. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN IRAN OR PERSIA THAT LOVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THEY ARE ONLY CHRISTIANS, ONLY THE CHRISTIANS DO. AND THERE'S AN UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT THAT, WELL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING PUBLICLY BECAUSE THIS IS GOING ON THE INTERNET THAT'S THERE IN THE COUNTRY. HOWEVER, PERSIA IS CONSISTENTLY THREATENING ISRAEL AND ALSO THREATENING THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL. AND SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU IS NUMBER ONE, THERE'S THERE IS THIS ISLAMIC COALITION OF SEVEN NATIONS HEADED UP BY PERSIA. THAT'S EZEKIEL 38 VERSES TWO THROUGH SIX. THEN THERE IS A WAR THAT WILL OCCUR IN THE LAST DAYS THAT WHEN ISRAEL IS RESTORED EZEKIEL 38, VERSE 8 AND 16, THEN ISRAEL WILL CONTROL THE BASHAN AGAIN. SO THESE ARE THREE THINGS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND IN THE FOUNDATION OF THIS STUDY. NOW, BECAUSE OF THE RISE OF PERSIA OR THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, THAT'S THE MODERN NAME. AND THERE WAR THREATS AGAINST ISRAEL THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT THIS EVENT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND ISRAEL IS CONSTANTLY BEING THREATENED BY THE COUNTRY OF WHAT WE CALL PERSIA. NOW, LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY. THIS WAR COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE THE YEAR OF 1979. AND I'M GOING TO READ THIS VERY QUICKLY AND NOT SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON IT BECAUSE I WANT TO GO FOR THESE NOTES. CAUSE I'M ONLY ON PAGE ONE AND I'VE GOT SEVEN PAGES HERE. OKAY. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT, THE COUNTRY OF PERSIA. NOW THE COUNTRY OF PERSIA WAS ONCE LED BY THIS IS IRAN, A MAN BY THE NAME OF MUHAMMAD REZA WHO WAS BETTER KNOWN AS THE SHAH OF IRAN WHO CAME TO POWER IN 1941. AND WAS EXILED IN 1979. SO GREAT PICTURE OF HIM THERE. HE REJECTED THE SOVIET CONTROL OF HIS COUNTRY AND CHOSE INSTEAD THE WEST, WHICH WAS BRITAIN IN THE UNITED STATES FOR HIS SUPPORT. HE WAS WEAK AT THE TIME HE STARTED THIS, BUT THEN HE BECAME A VERY PROGRESSIVE IN HIS IDEAS. IN FACT, IN 1962, HE ALLOWED JEWS LIVING IN IRAN, WHICH WERE IRANIAN JEWS AND CHRISTIANS LIVING IN IRAN TO BE SWORN INTO GOVERNMENT POSITIONS, CHRISTIANS USING A BIBLE AND JEWS USING THEIR, THEIR HOLY SCRIPTURES AS WELL, WHICH WOULD BE THE TOUR OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, WHICH WAS UNHEARD OF IN A PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM COUNTRY. SO HE WAS VERY, VERY PROGRESSIVE IN HIS IDEAS. NOW HE CAME IN CONFLICT WITH A MAN BY THE NAME OF THE AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI. AND THE AYATOLLAH BELIEVED THAT ONLY THE KORAN SHOULD BE USED IN ANY TYPE OF GOVERNMENT WHEN IT RELATES TO THE PERSIANS AND THEY CALL THEM SO PERSIANS BY THE WAY, OR THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. SO THIS CONFLICT AROSE. AND SO BACK IN, IN 1963, ONE YEAR AFTER HE ALLOWED THE JEWS AND CHRISTIANS TO BE SWORN IN WITH THEIR OWN HOLY BOOKS, HE CAME ALONG AND THE LAW WAS CHANGED IN THE LAW WAS REVERSED. NOW IN 1963, THEY ALSO ALLOWED WOMEN TO VOTE, WHICH THE AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI WAS TOTALLY AGAINST WOMEN VOTING. AND SO RIOTS BEGAN TO BREAKOUT. AND SO THE AYATOLLAH WAS EXILED TO THE COUNTRY OF IRAQ. AND LATER HE ENDED UP IN THE COUNTRY OF FRANCE. NOW IN FRANCE, HE MADE ALL THESE CASSETTE MESSAGES AND THIS, THIS IS THE AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI. AND HE HAD HIM SMUGGLED INTO THE COUNTRY OF IRAN. SO WE COME TO THE 1979 ISLAMIC REVOLUTION, WHICH ALL AMERICANS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS. THE SHAH OF IRAN HAD CANCER AND HE LEFT THE COUNTRY TO GET TREATMENT. BUT IN HE BEGAN TO MAKE IT PUBLIC BACK AROUND 1978. AND SO AS HE LEFT THE COUNTRY, PROTEST BEGAN AGAINST HIM INSIDE HIS OWN COUNTRY. HE WAS ADMITTED TO A U S HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT AND JIMMY CARTER WAS AGAINST IT. AND YET HE WAS, HE WAS ACTUALLY A FRIEND OF THE UNITED STATES. SO CARTER STEPS IN, HE DOESN'T LIKE THE FACT, BECAUSE IT LOOKS TOO POLITICAL. SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS IN ANGER, THE IRANIANS ORGANIZED AND STORMED THE US EMBASSY AND TOOK 52 HOSTAGES. NOW I REMEMBER THAT AS A KID AND SOME OF YOU WILL REMEMBER IT AS WELL, IF YOU'RE OLDER. SO THE UNITED STATES EMBASSY IN THE COUNTRY OF TEHRAN, IRAN OR PERSIA WAS HELD FOR 444 DAYS. NOW THE AYATOLLAH AT FIRST SUPPORTED, WAS SUPPORTED BY THE UNITED STATES. BUT IN THIS TAKEOVER, HE TURNED TO THE RADICAL SHIA BRANCH OF ISLAM AND TOOK CONTROL AND HE BECAME ANTI-AMERICAN AND HE BECAME ANTI-ISRAEL. AND THAT WAS THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION OF 1979. THAT IS WHEN THE COUNTRY CHANGED FROM BEING A PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY, A COUNTRY THAT COULD REALLY BE PROGRESSIVE IN THE FUTURE. TOTALLY FRIENDLY TO THE WEST. BEGAN TO TURN ON THE WEST, BEGIN TO TURN ON ISRAEL BEGAN TO TURN ON THE JEWS AND BEGIN TO SPREAD HATRED THROUGH WHAT WAS CALLED RADICAL SHIA ISLAM BECAUSE 95% OF THE POPULATION AND THE COUNTRY OF PERSIA ARE SHIA MUSLIMS. NOW TRACK WITH ME AS I GO INTO THIS, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF REALLY WEIRD HISTORY HERE. THE UNITED STATES EVENTUALLY HAD TO SUPPORT A MAN AFTER 1979 IN 1980, NAMED SADDAM HUSSEIN. THE REASON THE UNITED STATES GAVE MONEY TO MILLIONS, PROBABLY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SADDAM HUSSEIN'S REGIME. AND THE REASON THEY SUPPORTED SADDAM WAS SAME WITH WEAPONS THAT WOULD LATER BE USED AGAINST US IN OUR WARS AGAINST THEM IS BECAUSE HE WAS THE BUFFER BETWEEN THE RADICAL SHIA MUSLIMS AND THE NATION OF ISRAEL. NOW IT WASN'T THAT HE WAS SUPPORTING ISRAEL BECAUSE HE CAME ACROSS AS THOUGH HE WASN'T, BUT HE WAS THE BUFFER. SO WE'D FIGURED, INSTEAD OF GOING TO WAR WITH PERSIA ONE DAY TO DEFEND ISRAEL, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE A BUFFER IN THE MIDDLE. WELL, WHAT THAT TURNED INTO WAS AN EVENTUAL 10 YEAR WAR BETWEEN SADDAM HUSSEIN IN IRAQ AND THE PERSIANS IN THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, A 10 YEAR WAR, WHERE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS ARE KILLED. IT JUST TORE THE COUNTRY UP. IT TORE THE LAND UP. IT CAUSED ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. NOW LET'S JUST GO TO THE, TO THE PRESENT SITUATION, BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE TWO BRANCHES OF THE ISLAMIC RELIGION. ONE IS THE SUNY BRANCH AND THE OTHER'S CALLED THE SHIA BRANCH. THE SHIA MUSLIMS ARE ABOUT 20% OF THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD. 1.4, 1.5 BILLION MUSLIMS. NOBODY REALLY KNOWS THE ACTUAL NUMBER, BUT THE SHIA'S ARE 20% OF THAT NUMBER. AND THE SUNNI'S ARE 80%. NOW, THE SUNNI'S WE ALWAYS THOUGHT WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE MODERATE BECAUSE THEY ARE FROM JORDAN AND SAUDI ARABIA AND MUCH OF THE GULF STATES, BUT THEN 19 HIJACKERS THAT HIJACKED THE PLANES ON NINE 11 WERE ALL CONNECTED TO THE GULF STATES, SAUDI ARABIA, EXCEPT MAYBE ONE. SO THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING ON SEPTEMBER THE 11TH, WHEN THE TOWERS FELL AND THE PENTAGON WAS ATTACKED AS WELL. NOW, HOWEVER, WHILE, WHILE IN THE BEGINNING, UNDER THE SHAH, IT WAS BRITAIN AND AMERICA, AND ACTUALLY FRANCE, THAT HELPED SUPPORT PERSIA UNDER THE SHAH OF IRAN. NOW THAT THE RADICALS TOOK OVER, IT CHANGED EVERYTHING. SO THE RADICALS IN PERSIA OR IN IRAN ARE ACTUALLY SUPPORTED BY THE RUSSIANS AND THE RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST FINANCEERS OF THE IRANIANS WAY, MUCH, MUCH MORE THAN THE UNITED STATES, BECAUSE OUR SUPPORT FOR THEM STOPPED AFTER THE CAPTURING OF THE EMBASSY FOR 444 DAYS DURING THE REVOLUTION OF 1979. NOW, THIS IS VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE IT IS PERSIA THAT SUPPORTS THE MAJORITY OF TERROR GROUPS THAT HAVE EVER ATTACKED ISRAEL. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS THE PLO, THEY HAD THEIR OWN SUPPORT AS WELL, BUT THE PLO, IT DIDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS HEZBOLLAH. IT DID NOT MATTER IF IT WAS HAMAS. THOSE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE SECRETLY BEEN FUNDED BY IRAN OR THE PERSIANS. NOW IT'S THE SAME PLACE. PERSIA IS THE BIBLICAL PROPHETIC NAME. IRAN IS THE MODERN NAME, SO THEY HAVE BEEN FUNDED. AND SO TO THIS POINT, IF YOU EVER SEE THE NEWS, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THE LEADERS, THE RADICAL LEADERS OF PERSIA OR IRAN THAT STAND UP AND SAY THAT AMERICA IS THE GREAT SATAN THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED. AND ISRAEL IS THE LITTLE SATAN THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED. AND SO THESE PARTICULAR LEADERS ARE VERY, VERY ANTI-AMERICA AND VERY, VERY ANTI-ISRAEL. SO NOW WHAT I WANT TO DO, HAVING LAID A FOUNDATION OF THE COUNTRY OF PERSIA, WHO HELPS LEAD THIS BATTLE. THAT'S WHY I'M EMPHASIZING THIS. TO HELP US LEAD THIS BATTLE. THAT'S GO TO EZEKIEL CHAPTER 37, JUST TOUCH ON THIS VERY, VERY LIGHTLY, JUST TO HELP SET THE PACE HERE. WE HAVE THE VISION OF THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES. NOW THE PROPHET EZEKIEL SAW A VISION IN WHICH THERE WAS A FLAT VALLEY AND THERE WERE BONES. THERE WERE LEG BONES, HIP BONES, SHOULDER BONES, SKULLS, ALL LAYING, AND THEY WERE SEPARATED. AND GOD SAYS TO HIM, CAN THESE BONES LIVE AGAIN? AND HE SAYS, GOD ONLY, YOU KNOW, AND HE SAYS, PROPHESY TO THE BONES. AND AS THE PROPHET BEGINS TO PROPHESY, THE BIBLE SAYS IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER 37, HE SAYS THIS THIS IS THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. THIS IS THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL EZEKIEL 37 VERSE 11. THEN THE QUESTIONS COME UP. NOW, I'M GOING TO READ THESE SLOWLY. CAN THESE BONES LIVE AGAIN? EZEKIEL 37 AND 3, PROPHESY TO THE BONES AND SAY, YOU SHALL LIVE CHAPTER 37, VERSE 5. THEN HE SAYS, THIS, I WILL BRING SINEWS AND FLESH AND COVER YOU WITH SKIN AND PUT BREATH. THAT MEANS RUACH, SPIRIT, WIND LIFE FOR BREATH IN YOU. THAT'S IN CHAPTER 37 AND VERSE 6. THEN THERE, HE SAID, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A NOISE AND A SHAKING AND THE COMING TOGETHER, BONE TO BONE, CHAPTER 37 VERSES 7 AND 8. THEN HE PROPHESIED TO THE FOUR WINDS. THAT'S THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST FOR LIFE TO COME AND BLOW ON THEM. EZEKIEL 37 AND 9. AND HE SAYS, THIS, THIS IS A VERSE THAT I WANT TO GIVE TO YOU. IT SAYS THIS. SO I PROPHESIED AS HE COMMANDED ME AND THE BREATH CAME INTO THEM AND THEY LIVED AND STOOD UP ON THEIR FEET, AN EXCEEDING GREAT ARMY. NOW, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS INTERESTING. SO IN EZEKIEL 37, THEY'RE COMING... AND IT WILL TELL YOU THIS, THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY COMING UP OUT OF THEIR GRAVES AND I'M GONNA READ THE VERSE. KEEP THAT VERSE UP EZEKIEL 37 AND 12. WATCH THIS THUS SAYS THE LORD, GOD BEHOLD, ALL MY PEOPLE, I WILL OPEN UP YOUR GRAVES AND CAUSE YOU TO COME OUT OF YOUR GRAVES AND BRING YOU TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL. NOT BECAUSE THE WORD GRAVES' IS USED HERE. THE HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS, 6 MILLION WERE KILLED AND BURIED IN GRAVES, BUT THERE WERE THOSE THAT WERE NEAR DEATH NEAR, NEAR THEIR GRAVES. AND GOD OPENED UP THE GRAVE SO TO SPEAK IN A METAPHORICAL SENSE AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL, WHICH HE SAYS HERE. AND THIS IS WHY EZEKIEL CHAPTER 37 IS OFTEN CONSIDERED BY DEVOUT JEWS AS A REFERENCE TO THE HOLOCAUST AND HOW GOD RE-ESTABLISHED THE NATION OF ISRAEL AFTER THE HOLOCAUST. AND TO PROVE THIS LET'S LOOK AT THREE KEYS. NUMBER ONE, GOD SAYS TO THEM, YOU'LL BECOME A GREAT NATION AND ALSO SAYS, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE DIVIDED BETWEEN THE NORTHERN AND THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM. THAT'S IN CHAPTER 37, VERSE 15. AND THEY WERE THROUGHOUT HISTORY DIVIDED BETWEEN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN KINGDOM. BUT HERE THEY'RE ONLY ONE NATION, NOT NORTH AND SOUTH, BUT ONE NATION. AND THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE UNITED AGAIN, WHICH THEY ARE TODAY. THE NEXT PHRASE HERE, I'M GOING TO BRING YOU OUT OF YOUR GRAVES AND THAT REFERS TO YOUR BURYING PLACE. AND THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE HOLOCAUST, WITH THE RESTORATION OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL IN 1948. THEN IT SAYS YOU'RE GOING TO BECOME A GREAT ARMY AND THEY DID BECOME GREAT. AND IT'S REAL INTERESTING. I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO THIS BECAUSE THE HEBREW ROOT HERE FOR GREAT MEANS TO TWIST AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROPHET IS SAYING. I'M GOING TO CREATE A GREAT BOND. I'M GOING TO CREATE A STRONG BOND BY UNITING YOU OR BINDING YOU TOGETHER AS ONE NATION THAT'S WHAT THE PROPHET IS REFERRING TO HERE. WHEN HE USES THE WORD, GREAT ARMY, A GREAT ARMY, AND ALSO THE WORD GREAT. THE WORD GREAT HERE GOODALL CAN BE, CAN, CAN MEAN TO EXCEED IN POWER. SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE DO WORD STUDIES ON GREAT ARMY, WE COMBINE IT TOGETHER. IT'S GOD SAYING TO THEM, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU A STRONG BOND TOGETHER. AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE EXCEEDING GREAT POWER AS YOU JOIN TOGETHER AND BECOME A LAST DAY ARMY AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE. NOW. I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE TIMING OF THIS EVENT, AS IT RELATES TO WHAT THE PROPHET TALKED ABOUT. NOW, I WANT YOU TO NOTICE, FIRST OF ALL, THAT THE NAME IS ISRAEL AND NOT PALESTINE. THE NAME PALESTINE CAME SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE FOURTH OR FIFTH CENTURY. AND THIS WAS THE NAME OF THE LAND BEFORE 1948. AND ISRAEL GOT THE LAND BACK IN AN ANNEXATION BY THE UNITED NATIONS. SO IN OTHER WORDS, HE DID NOT SAY, I WILL I WILL BRING YOU DOWN INTO THE LAND OF PALESTINE. HE SAID, I'LL BRING YOU DOWN INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL. SO HERE WE GO. AGAIN, MAKE ANOTHER STATEMENT HERE BEFORE 1948, ISRAEL WAS CALLED PALESTINE, BUT IT COULD NOT, THIS WAR COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS PALESTINE. IT HAD TO BE ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE HAD TO BE BACK IN THE LAND. NOW NUMBER TWO. SO LOOK, LET'S LOOK AT THIS. NUMBER ONE. THIS WAR HAPPENS AFTER ISRAEL HAS RETURNED FROM THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD OF EXILE, BACK TO THEIR LAND, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN AFTER 1948 AND ALSO AFTER 1967 AND ALSO AFTER 1988, WHEN THE JEWS BEGAN TO COME FROM RUSSIA IN THE NORTH COUNTRY. SO WE'RE IN THE TIMEFRAME WHEN THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE RETURNING FROM THE LANDS OF THE GENTILES TO COME BACK TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL. SO THIS BATTLE HAS TO HAPPEN AFTER ISRAEL RETURNS TO THEIR LAND. EZEKIEL CHAPTER 38, VERSE 8. NUMBER TWO, WHEN ISRAEL HAS A GREAT ARMY EZEKIEL 37 AND 10. THIS IS WHEN THIS BATTLE HAS TO TAKE PLACE. AND THE IDF, WHICH IS A, AN ABBREVIATION, AN ACRONYM FOR ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCE WAS FORMED MAY 26TH, 1948. AND THEY ARE, I WOULD SUGGEST CHINA, RUSSIA, THE UNITED STATES ARE THE THREE GREATEST ARMIES IN THE WORLD. AND ISRAEL IS IN THE TOP FOUR WITHOUT A DOUBT, AND PROBABLY HAS WEAPONS THAT YOU AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE AS BENJAMIN NETANYAHU WANTS A SET, WE'VE HAD TO DEVELOP THINGS IN ORDER TO LEARN TO SURVIVE. WE HAVE NO CHOICE. MUSIC. ANNOUNCER: NOW AVAILABLE, AN EXCITING NEW RESOURCE FROM PERRY STONE, PROPHETIC SUMMIT 2020.
