foreign neighborhood on Canada when most unpredicted neighborhood on planet Earth We're in the most religious neighborhood on planet Earth when now we celebrate 70 years we we celebrate it and we call it the miracle that is called Israel it is America [Music] my testimony starts with me being born to a Jewish Family I ended up finding myself without a family when my parents got a divorce I grew up in foster care at the time I looked back in my life and it I really saw no hope I decided that uh I should put an end to my life [Music] I was about to do it then I felt that something is telling me that I may have not given the world enough chances [Music] I decided to give the world one last chance in that week my friend's family they're all holding hands closing their eyes and the father says let's pray him and they ended up the prayer with the very interesting thing they said the Shem Yeshua in the name of Jesus and I was like very very shocked because for me to hear such a thing was hard why do you pray in the name of Jesus Is God not enough we are Jewish people we believe in the god of Israel I was told why don't you ask God to show you who Jesus is and I remember I wrote on a piece of paper God you know please show me who Jesus is the next day I go to work I put together the newspapers and a big one page size advertising in that newspaper Yeshua the name of Jesus in Hebrew in the proper name of Jesus not the curse it was the Jesus film of Campus Crusade showing in Jerusalem it was filmed in Israel it's a Hebrew language Israeli actors and I'm watching all the prophecies that I know being fulfilled before my very eyes I was amazed the Virgin shall conceive by his end chapter 7. a child will be given unto us Micah chapter 5 story of New Testament given to the people of Israel Jeremiah 31 the suffering of the Messiah for the sake of our own sins in Isaiah 53 I mean it's almost like all the pieces of the puzzle came together for me and I knew then and there that I have to make up my mind because I remember you just few weeks ago I was about to end my life and now I'm for the I know why I'm not done I remember that night I literally prayed and I asked him to be not just the Messiah that would be my personal one I got baptized not far from here and uh he joined the Israeli Army I ended up being the Deputy Governor of Jericho in the Jordan Valley and I was the official guide of the Israeli government for all the delegations that came to toward the Jericho area and the preparation of the Handover very good to the Palestinians I don't know how many people got to see God in action protecting their Nation during war the way I did right here today we see a nation that has the Zeal but not knowledge they have the Zeal that the knowledge of the Messiah is missing the good news is that there is hope Paul says it's the hope of Israel is not the peace process the hope of Israel is not their government or their military or their land the hope of Israel is Jesus you want peace he's the Prince of Peace you want a king he's the king of kings you want a Shepherd he's a great ship [Music] Jesus is the only hope of Israel the only hope for the Jewish people um today we have a guest Amir and I want all of us to show a nice great welcome to Amir may God bless you [Applause] Shalom everyone good evening what an amazing performance we just had especially the song that it Is Well with My Soul it reminds me that in the midst of so much pain and sorrow that is going on all around the world and Ukrainian people are acquainted with that pain in sorrow even more so now than any other Nation I'm reminded of what second Thessalonians chapter 3 verse 17 says actually verse 16 he says now may the Lord of Peace himself give you peace always in every way there is no other source of peace in this world it's not the United Nation it's not America it's not Europe it's not any government or any organization it's Jesus he can give people peace and if you ever want to find peace in your life that's the only way to find it he is the Prince of Peace he is the Lord of Peace who can give you peace here and everywhere now and forever am I am I on so now I'm off here okay can you okay good so uh this evening our message is a message that um I wish I didn't have to give it because it speaks of the spirit of this world versus the truth of scriptures and the name the name of the message is the deception of the Nations the deception of the Nations and uh let's pray and then get into the word of God okay father we thank you for your word you magnify your word above your name your word is truth and we ask you now to sanctify Us by that truth we ask this now in the name of the Prince of Peace the Lord of lords and the word of God in the name of Yeshua Jesus we pray amen so you will be shocked to see the first slide of this message it's someone that nobody likes to like in someone that everybody likes to hate and it's someone that I wish I didn't even have his photo on but I want to explain to you that what he said is actually what is truly going on and that is Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler said if you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough it will be believed he also said make the LIE big make it simple keep saying it and eventually they will believe it that's what he said for at least 20 years he was running with this truth that he believed in that lie can be believed as truth he also said by the skillful and sustained use of propaganda one can make a people see Even Heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as Paradise it is not truth that matters he said but victory so you can clearly see that we live in the world that is subject to a lot of deception and this is what I call mind engineering all you need to do is find something that you want people to believe in and then you keep pumping it to the people until they get it don't make it too complicated make it simple and eventually they will actually believe that the demon is an Angel and the angel is the demon in fact a few days ago I gave a a short update on the situation between Ukraine and Russia and I didn't really speak about the war itself but I spoke about the uh the one that is the main philosopher of Vladimir Putin and that is Alexander dugin and he literally speaks as if he is a Believer and he's telling the world that Russia is now fighting to save Humanity from the evil forces and you keep telling that to the people and you keep pumping that to the people and you keep using biblical terms he was using the term the Antichrist in Armageddon in in all satanic influence and he kept taking things from the right places but using it obviously in the wrong connotation in believe it or not there's enough Christians around the world that believe that lie there's enough Christians around the world that are buying into this as if what's going on right now in Ukraine is someone good coming to eliminate someone bad it's the good versus the evil Darkness versus the light and they switched things as if everything that we see now is a Justified War now there are two types of deceptions when it comes to um the Bible there is the deception of the world and then there is the deception of the Nations and our message today is the deception of the Nations and the reason is is that there is satanic deception but sometimes that deception causes the whole world to believe it but sometimes that deception is only about the Nations and not Israel because the deception is about Israel okay now Revelation chapter 12 verses 7 to 9 says and war broke out in heaven Michael and his angels fought with the dragon Michael is the Archangel that is set to watch over the children of Israel believe it or not there is an archangel there that his job is to watch over the nation of Israel how do I know that Daniel the Prophet says that in chapter 12. now he says the Bible says that and he fought with the dragon which is Satan and the dragon and his angels fought but they did not Prevail nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer so that great Dragon was cast out that Serpent of old called the devil and Satan who deceives the whole world the Bible says he was cast to the Earth and his angels were cast out with him so we see that Satan himself and his demons their job is deception from day one from Genesis chapter three it was all about deception but we see here that at that very time the whole world will be deceived however in Isaiah chapter 14 there is another description of Satan how you are fallen from Heaven o Lucifer son of the morning how you are cut down to the ground you who weakened the Nations so you see in Revelation deceives the whole world Isaiah talks about him deceiving the Nations or weakening the Nations Revelation 20 I saw an angel coming down from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand and laid hold of the Dragon The Serpent of old who is the devil and Satan and bound him for a thousand years at the end of the tribulation Satan will be bound for one thousand years and Jesus will reign from Jerusalem over the whole world for a thousand years but look what it says it says that he will set him there so that he should deceive the Nations no more until the thousand years were finished but after these things he must be released for a little while now the word Nations as in Joel chapter 3 verse 2 appears there in the Greek in Matthew 25 it's the same word nations in Greek in in in obviously in the in the English ethnay in the Greek and look at the parallels that we see here Joel The Prophet says that at the very end at the end of the tribulation I will also gather all nations and I will bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat which is in Jerusalem between Mount of Olives in Mount Moriah and I will enter into judgment with them on account of my people my Heritage Israel so you see God will judge the Nations according to what they did to Israel so you see that the Nations are is a term that is separated from Israel whereas where he deceives the whole world even Israel is deceived so every time the Bible speaks of Satan deceiving the Nations it must it's most often about Israel Matthew 25 is the New Testament parallel to Joel's prophecy all the nations will be gathered before him and he shall separate them one from another as Shepherd devises sheep from the goats God will separate those who survived the tribulations those who finally will enter into the Millennium with as a sheep from the goats and those who supported the Brethren of Christ will be allowed into his kingdom and those who did not help the Brethren of Christ Israel the Jewish people will not be allowed so the nations are not Israel and the deception is concerning Israel and I want to talk this evening about five different deceptions that the media and the world will feed you Non-Stop and you some of you that are in college or university some of you that are in school or maybe even in workplaces you will hear that a lot the first of the list is that Israel is not God's people believe it or not more and more Christians believe that God is done with Israel they're no longer God's people the second is that the land's real name is Palestine that's what they've been telling you therefore it belongs to those who call themselves Palestinians [Music] that's something you hear often in the news third one is that the Arabs were there first that's why you know Israel is a bad boy Israel came in kicked the Arabs out that's what they tell you the fourth one is that Israel's occupation of the land is the problem and the fifth one is that peace in the Middle East is possible they tell you that if you only work harder there will be peace between the Israelis and the Arabs let's continue wasting money on peace deals and peace conferences and peace initiatives now what we're going to do this evening will take one deception and give you the Bible that talks about the truth first of all we know that in John 8 44 it says when the when when Satan speaks a lie he speaks from his own resources for he is a liar and the father of it he's not speaking the truth John 17 17 is telling you what is the truth sanctify them my father by your truth and then he says your word is truth anything that Satan says is a lie anything that the word of God says is truth so if you want to understand a lie or distinguish a life from the truth go to the Bible don't believe the media don't believe your leaders don't believe military report don't believe anything go to the Bible and that is the one thing people don't often do first deception Israel is not God's people that's its deception because the truth is in Deuteronomy 14 for You Are Holy people to the Lord your God and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for himself a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the Earth in Isaiah 49 Zion said Israel said the Lord has forsaken me and my Lord has forgotten me and God is answering them can a woman forget her nursing child and not have compassion on the son of her womb surely they may forget yet I will not forget you see I have inscribed you on the palms of my hand your walls are continually before me God says anyone who tells you that you have been forgotten by me don't believe him because a mother cannot forget her child I will never forget you people will tell you don't believe them I am there for you Romans chapter 11 I say then has God Cast Away his people certainly not says the Apostle Paul for I also am an Israelite of the Seed of Abraham of The Tribe of Benjamin and trust me he says God did not forsake the people whom he foreknew Jeremiah chapter 29 for I know the thoughts that I think towards you says the Lord thoughts of peace and not of evil I know that a lot of people take these verses to describe you know that God loves all people which is true that God has great future for those who walk with him which is true but these Verses first and most were given to Israel look what it says then you will call upon me and go and pray to me and I will listen to you and you will seek me and find me when you search for me with all of your heart I will be found by you says the Lord and I will bring you back from your captivity I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you says the Lord and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive God says to the nation of Israel the day is coming I'm going to gather you back to your land I have great future for you don't let anyone tell you that you have been forgotten in Romans 11 Paul says all Israel will be saved as it is written the deliverer will come out of Zion and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob take a look he says concerning the gospel at the moment the Jews are blind concerning the gospel they might be they are your enemies for your sake but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable God is saying I am God I do not change if I change my mind about Israel I can change my mind about all of you here the fact that my election of Israel stands should be comforting every single one of you that is seated here this evening so we have established the world might think the church might think other religions might think that God has done with Israel but the word of God says that he has not the second deception is that the land is Palestine and not Israel interesting in fact let me show you something very interesting this is a booklet from 19 let me see from 1925 down below 1925. and this booklet was printed by the Muslim authorities saying that their mosque in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount is situated where the Temple of the Jews used to be they admit that the Jews were there first by even writing this thing as you know the lie that the Temple Mount never had Jewish temple began mostly after the state of Israel was already born and the Arabs couldn't live with the fact that we are back in our historic ancestral Homeland and then began the whole deception as if there is a Palestinian Nation even in some of your Bibles now you have some Ukrainian Bibles but you also have some English Bibles and if you have English Bibles at the end of your Bible you have maps and even in that map you will see it a lie a deception where it says Palestine in Christ's time why is it a lie in deception because there was no Palestine at the time of Christ in fact in Matthew Chapter 2 when Herod was dead behold an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt saying arise take the young child and his mother and go to the land of Israel there was no Palestine in the time of Jesus Jesus is not the First Palestinian Palestine is something that started by the a Roman Emperor Adrian in 135. Ezekiel 37 in the Bible way before even Jesus came Ezekiel is saying then said to me son of man these bones are the whole house of Israel they indeed say our bones are dry our hope is lost and we ourselves have been cut off prophesy and tell them thus says the Lord God behold my people I will open your Graves and cause you to come up from the grave and bring you into the land of Israel God in his word never ever called the land of Israel Palestine because that's simply not the name not in the time of Jesus and certainly not before in an effort to wipe out all memory of the bond between the Jews and their land Adrian Caesar changed the name of the province from udaya Judea to Syria Palestina which is where they take the word Palestine from a name that become common in Jewish literature and the word Palestina comes from the word Philistines remember the old foes from the Old Testament the Philistines now let me show you something interesting this is a little I should have changed the red to Yellow probably maybe even to yellow and and blue you're right next time I will do that but let's look at this Philistines the Hebrew word please team comes from the Hebrew word to invade if you call yourself Philistine or now Palestinian what are you actually saying I am the invader I am the one that is coming to a land that is not mine that's what Philistines were that's what Adrian didn't understand when he named it Palestine and the Arabs that are now using this name don't even understand that they're actually using a name that tells the world that they are the Invaders just so you know how deceitful they are up until the the state of Israel was born the Arabs did not want to be called Palestinians they actually called themselves Arabs because they come from Arabia you're right when Israel changed the name back to Israel suddenly they are Palestinians but you know until 1948 it's the Jews that called themselves Palestinians take a look at this the state of Israel is born but look what we had in 1936 the program of the Palestine Orchestra which Orchestra is this the Jewish Orchestra in Tel Aviv look Palestine Brigade the Jewish Brigade in the British Army in World War II we use that name because that's what the world called that piece of land for nearly 1800 years so we used it the minute we declared statehood what did we do we change the name to Israel because that's what the Bible says that the name of the country is so deception the name is Palestine the Bible the name is Israel very simple by the way you don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that all you need to do is go back to scriptures the third deception is that the Arabs were there first now I know it's I know this is a church and we're teaching Bible and we are teaching Bible this evening I'm trying to get you back to the Bible from all the cheap and very inaccurate propaganda that is all around I'm trying to cause you to understand that Satan is the master of lies and propaganda and that he thinks that if he pumps it enough in the media in the social media in the schools in the textbooks and everywhere people will believe it but anyone that has access to the word of God can easily see that the opposite is truth the Arabs were they there first let me tell you something do you remember Nehemiah Nehemiah was leaving um his the Palace of the king in Persia on his way to build the walls of Jerusalem remember as he was leaving he saw one of them was gesham the Arab the ammonites and the Arabs and all of them look what he said they said to him a Nehemiah what are you doing are you rebelling against the king what are you doing rebuilding your city and your and he said I answered them and I said to them the god of Heaven himself will prosper us therefore we his servants will arise and build and now he's telling gesham the Arab the ammonites and and he says and by the way you can clearly see it he said to them the following thing in regards to um what he is about to do here it is he said that was sent balat the horror night to Baya the ammonite and guess him the Arab when symbol at the horror night to buy at the ammonite official and gestion the Arab heard of it they laughed at me and look what he answered the god of heaven will arise will will he will prosper us but you ammonites you um a horror night and you Arabs you have no Heritage or right or Memorial in Jerusalem that is the word of God that is what Nehemiah said over 2 300 years ago he said I'm coming back to build the city of my fathers I am coming because God told me to go it is the god of Heaven that will prosper us but all of you you Arabs ammonites uh uh Horror Nights all of you that are standing on the way all of you are laughing at me but because it's because you have no right no Memorial you have nothing Jerusalem has never been yours therefore you don't understand what I'm doing Jerusalem was never a holy city for any other religion until they became so powerful and they wanted to take over and of course whether it's the Muslims in the United 7th Century or it's the Christian Catholics nights that are doing that in the 10th 11th Century 12 so but before that they didn't care the city was laying in ruins for so long in 1867 an American man called Samuel Langhorne Clemens known to many as Mark Twain he published his impressions from his journey to the land of Israel and he called it innocence abroad he describes a desolate country devoid of both vegetation and human population when the Arabs tell you we were the first well there was an american guy who wrote a horse book and look what he said he said we hardly saw any human beings we never saw a human being on the whole route everywhere he went no one was there a Jewish woman called Johan Peters who was a journalist very liberal many Jews in America are liberals do you know that Jews are actually leading power in the liberal movement she was a very liberal woman she was a journalist which makes you even more liberal and she was sent by The Carter Administration to write a book about the right of the Palestinians over the land they thought she's a Jewish woman if she writes it it will even sound better she comes all the way to the land of Israel with the money that was granted to her by the Carter Administration as a you know as a journalist should do she goes to dig for the facts she went to the archive of the Ottoman Empire she goes to the archive of the British mandate she goes to the archive of the United Nations she was shocked John Peter is in her book from time immemorial which is a must book for every Christian she wrote that prior to the massive immigration of European Jews back to Palestine in the late 19th century in early 20th century the land was mostly Barren and underpopulated that's what exactly Mark Twain said and the newly arrived Jews brought great Prosperity which attracted a large number of Arabs from neighboring lands who then moved to Palestine to share the fruit of the Jewish Ingenuity and wealth most of the Arabs that came to the land of Israel actually came because the Jews returned do you understand the big the size of the LIE many of the people who call themselves Palestinians today are actually descendants of these relatively recent economic immigrants in 1977 there was an interview with this terrorist zohair he was a Palestinian leader of the pro-syria al-saika fraction of the Palestine Liberation Organization look what he said between jordanians Palestinians syrians and Lebanese there are no differences he says we are all part of one people the Arab Nation look I have family members with Palestinian Lebanese Jordanian Syrian citizenship We Are All One people just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity because it is a national interest for the Arabs to Advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism yes the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons the establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab Unity he basically says there is no such thing Palestinian so we created it so we can fight the return of the Jews back to their land that's it and the return of the Jews back to the land is the reason the fourth deception is the occupation is the problem Israel has no legal right over the land take a look at this document this document is the Balfour Declaration written in 1917 by Lord Balfour to Lord Rothschild and he basically says the following thing his Majesty's government view with favor The Establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and will use their best Endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object ladies and gentlemen we did not bring ourselves there we were actually invited to go there by the rulers of that place at that time and then in December of 1922 Britain received the Mandate for Palestine Britain actually was given the task to fulfill the Balfour Declaration the Mandate document formalized the creation of two British protectorates Palestine to include a national home for the Jewish people and trans Jordan I don't want to make a big mess in your mind right now all I want you to know is this Israel is legally a nation created for the Jewish people not just biblically the Bible has always said that but even legally we were given the Mandate by the United Nations which was called then the League of Nations a lot of people are telling me well Amir the PLO the Palestinian Liberation Organization they want you out of the West Bank and Gaza let me show you what the PLO is all about look at their logo please the logo of the PLO is this the whole land of Israel it's not Judea Samaria and Gaza look it was founded in 1964. when did Israel take Judea and Samaria and Gaza in 1967 so how come they were founded in 1964 with a whole map and their problem is only Israel in Judea and Samaria and Gaza This Is A Lie when they were established Israel was not even there and they their mind their goal is to take the entire land and call it Palestine in 2005 Israel pulled out of gazat 8 500 Jews were taken out of their land just so we can have peace with the Palestinians guess what happened from that moment the Palestinians took over every place that the Jews once lived in and turn it into a base camp for terrorists and since then they've been sending missiles from there almost every few months the last deception is that peace in the Middle East is possible they tell you that if it's the right person and the right formula there will be peace well now let me tell you something a lot of people don't know that the Muslims originally be the Muslims originally actually accepted that the land belongs to the Jews in 1918 in Mecca the Sharif of Mecca the leader of Mecca said the resources of the country are still virgin soil and will be developed by the Jewish immigrant he's basically saying these people are actually the original Sons for all their differences as sacred and beloved Homeland he says this land over there that the Jews are returning to it's theirs and we want them to come because when they come they can help us build our State and he talks about Jordan and Syria and Iraq and Lebanon the Arab place and in 1918 look he met the Jewish leader Heim weitzmann and the Sharif of the son of the Sharif of Mecca Emir Faisal met together and they sign a deal they sign a deal which later on unfortunately was not fulfilled I want to basically tell you there's a lot of stuff that I could tell you about a lot of lies and deception but I want us all to come all the way to the Bible I want you all to understand the following thing according to Daniel chapter 9 verse 27 even a future peace deal that will be brokered by the Antichrist will fail to ensure real and Lasting peace because he himself is going to break it there will never be peace in the Middle East until the Prince of Peace will come to bring the ultimate peace Daniel 9 says then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week but in the middle of that week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering and on the wing of abomination shall be one who makes desolate even until the consummation which is determined is poured out of the desolate our world today especially Western Europe today is going to get so desperate and so in such a a bad situation that they will eventually allow a new world leader to come America won't be strong enough anymore Russia will be defeated everyone that will join Russia in the war against Israel will be defeated by God of Israel and the world will be in a situation where everyone will look for peace and they won't find it and someone is going to rise someone that the world has never seen before someone that the world not doesn't even recognize today as a political leader he will rise from what the ancient Roman Empire was used to be and he is going to finally introduce peace to the Middle East and he will even allow the Jewish people to build a temple how many of you heard that there were five red heifers arriving in Israel and everybody is excited they all think that the temple will be built tomorrow no the temple can only be built by that Antichrist himself and I want you to know that in Genesis 12 chapter 3 God was very clear when he instructed Abraham to leave his house and his family and his land and he told him I will take you to a land that I will show you and then he says I will bring from you a nation and he says I will bless those who bless you and I will curse him who curses you and in you all the families of the Earth shall be blessed Abraham was promised that from him there will come a nation that through that Nation God is going to bless the whole world the nation of Israel provided to the world three things the belief in one God the word of God and the Son of God all which came through the nation of Israel and that's how he will bless the whole world Zechariah Chapter 2 says for thus says the Lord of hosts he sent me after glory to the Nations which plunder you for He Who touches you touches the apple of his eye God is going to judge the Nations for their dealings with Israel during the tribulation and we know as we read in Joel that he will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat and he will enter into judgment with him on the account of his people we already said in Matthew 25 Jesus said that he will the king will come back and he will judge all the nations and separate them the sheep from the ghost what is the criteria whether they help the least of his brethren if the Saints of the tribulation the Sheep are called to support Israel how much more is the bride of Christ responsible to fulfill this during the church age the establishment of the responsibility of the church to support the Jews took place early in the church age even in Romans 15. for it pleased those from Macedonia and achaya to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem it pleased them indeed and they are their debtors for if the Gentiles have been partakers of the spiritual their spiritual things of the people of Jerusalem their duty is also to minister now to them in material things so the deception of the Nations has infiltrated the doctrine of the church remember your understanding of the nation of Israel is connected to what you think about God's character in Ezekiel 36 therefore say to the house of Israel thus says the Lord God I do not do this for your sake or House of Israel but for my holy name's sake which you have profaned among the Nations wherever you went and I will sanctify my great name which has been profane among the Nations which you have profaned in their midst and the Nations shall know that I am the Lord says the Lord God when I am hallowed in you before their eyes for I will take you from among the Nations gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land God's bringing Israel back to their land is the way God wants to get the attention of the whole world and that's perhaps why Paul spoke in such strong terms in Romans 9 all the way to 11 when he highlighted not only God's choosing of the nation and God's present blinding of the nation but also in the future God's character is at stake in regards to his dealing with Israel if you get your understanding of Israel wrong you get the understanding of God's character completely wrong and therefore I want to conclude with this this world has a lot of deception but if there is one sign of that we are at the very end that the Lord's return is very near is the sign that Jesus gave to his disciples when they asked him in Matthew 24 they asked him tell us what is the sign of the end and of your coming and he said to them learn this Parable from the Fig Tree said and this Victory is the symbol of Israel because in other places throughout the Old Testament Israel was always likened to be the fig tree and he says when you the church see that the Fig Tree comes back to life that the nation of Israel comes back to life that the land of Israel comes back to life that the language of Hebrew comes back to life the people that are all around are returning back to their land and speaking back their original language when all of that is happening you know that the end is near and all of us that are sitting right here today we have been given the greatest gift of all we are the generation that is seeing that fig tree blooming and the Bible says that this generation shall not pass away Jesus is coming very soon now I don't know today and I don't know the hour I'm not a prophet I come from a non-profit organization but I can tell you this the signs are everywhere whether it's the world whether it's the Nations whether it's the spirit of the Antichrist whether it's the return of the Jews to the land we live in an amazing convergence of all the signs that Jesus talked about never before there were that many pestilences hunger earthquakes and eruption of volcanoes and natural disaster as we see today never before the world was so crazy as it is today but if you want to stay stable you need to stay grounded in the word of God and every time the enemy will whisper something through your ear go to the Bible because this evening we have established that all the deception of the Nations regarding Israel can be easily refuted if you only believe in the written unchanging word of God and a word of comfort to all of you here you have a lot of relatives in Ukraine you've got a lot of people that are suffering you're even hosting people that ran away from a lot of suffering and they suffer from their own post-trauma the only only solution for all the words especially the one that we see today is not any peace deal with any ruler or United Nations or anything it's Christ it's Jesus he's the only hope of Ukraine he's the only hope of Israel he's the only hope of Europe he's the only hope of America and the further we go away from him the less peace we will ever find in our lives and in our world the closer we are getting to him we will enjoy the peace that surpasses all understanding the peace that can be in your heart even when the whole world is burning the Bible says in Jeremiah chapter 17 and we will conclude there in Jeremiah chapter 17 the Bible says the following thing blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is the Lord for he shall be like a tree planted By the Waters whence which spreads out its roots by the river and he will not fear when heat comes but its leaves will be green and it will not be anxious in the year of drought nor will cease from yielding fruit everyone in Ukraine is looking at the Believers everyone around America is looking at the church everyone around the world is looking at believers they want to see okay you're talking about Jesus let's see how you take it in your life if you truly believe you have that peace they will be amazed if you truly believe you have that Joy of salvation if you truly believe you have that we call it security of your faith and of your salvation look no one can snatch you from his hand but if you will show more anxiety and fear and you're into conspiracies and you are so confused and so mentally unstable when it comes to the way you behave do you really think that the world is going to want to have what you have we are ambassadors of Christ what does it mean you're no longer ukrainians or Americans we have Heavenly citizenship as Heavenly citizens the Bible says that now we are ambassadors here on his behalf and we are here to implore people to reconcile to Christ we're not here to make politics regarding cheap things we're here to lead people to Christ we're not here for any other reason the only reason why we are still here is because God is not done with so many people that are around us family members School members work Associates go and tell them about Jesus they don't have any other hope America's economy is going to crumble very soon it's the writing is on the wall Europe is about to freeze this winter why the writing is on the wall Israel is about to have a huge War the war that Ezekiel prophesied 2300 years ago why it's all there do you think I'm afraid do you think I'm hopeless do you think I I lost the joy no more so than ever before we need to show that our hope is in Christ he is the way the truth and the life and no one can come to the father but through him they will try to give you many ways many options they will try to confuse you strong and the only way you can be strong is if you are in the word most Christians don't read the Bible most Christians don't even believe listen Paul's they're saying most Christians don't believe that Jesus is the only way think about it most pastors around America today will tell you that Jesus is not the only way why because they went away from the word of God because they are influenced by the world around us we're in this world but not of this world stay strong stay in the word father I pray this evening that we will always remember to go back to your word your word is true in a world full of lies and deception the enemy doesn't even know how to say the truth he pretends to be an angel of Light he pretends to be a worker of righteousness he pretends to care about life where in reality all he does is kill still and destroys more than ever before Christians are to stand on the truth of God when it comes to life when it comes to family when it comes to sexuality when it comes to Israel when it comes to your word your word is truth unchangeable your word is not change that it's changing People we thank you that we have the full Council of God in this book and we also thank you that by the power of the Holy Spirit we can not just have your word but understand your word so father we ask you today this evening from this church here in Sacramento we ask that you will allow us to be your ambassadors to cause people to be reconciled unto Jesus but also Father we ask that this church this First Baptist Church right here will continue to prosper will continue to be blessed as it's doing your work staying close to your word I pray that the Mandate that you gave to this church to be a light to the people around in this community and many that are coming now from Ukraine as refugees to this country cause this church cause the people of this church calls the leadership of this church to continue to work hard to lead them to Christ to show them that they are loved cared for and that there is a way to have peace in this terrible world the ultimate peace that peace that surpasses all understanding the peace that the world cannot give and not even understand be with the leadership be with the people of this church be with this community help them lead so many to Christ thank you for them being a beacon of Shining Light in a dark city in a dark state in a dark country in a very dark world thank you and we bless you and we do all of that in the matchless name of the Holy One of Israel the King of Kings the Lord of lords the Lamb of God the lion of the tribe of Judah Emmanuel Prince of Peace the name that is above all names the name of Yeshua

going to get you some chairs and then I will take are we going to sit yeah yeah oh even better okay so um we have had many many different viewers tonight um and I believe we reached well over a thousand therefore if you can only imagine how many different questions I need to filter through therefore I will do my best um yeah let's start off from the very bottom okay um and I will not read every question so okay to all the people who ask the questions I truly do apologize okay first question um how do you know you're a slave to sin and how do you gain the strength to say no to that certain sin does God forgive you if you do it repeatedly thank you we know from the text first John chapter 1 verse 8 and 9 it says if we say we have no sin he's speaking as a Believer two Believers if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in US however if we confess our sins he God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness in the same book of First John if you look at the Greek way it's worded if someone continues in sin you can bet that person is not a True Believer what that means is that somebody that gets up in the morning and chooses to sin and calls themself a Believer and feels and feels no conscience in fact even to the point where they may even recommend sinning so the key is welcome to the club if you fail if you fall and if you sin the question I ask for you whoever answered asked the question is are you in the fight are you confessing it being honest with yourself and are you turning from the sin are you seeking help are you talking to people that you can trust are you staying connected within the community with the church are you regularly putting the word of God in your mind we're the battlefield of Temptation is if you are you will have a journey that's more close to Holiness and righteousness than the believer or so-called believer that doesn't thank you amen are you a fighter are you fighting are you fighting for righteousness okay we have another question this is coming from Arizona um where is the best place to start when beginning to study eschatology end of the time and events and then when are you coming to Arizona that's the question okay first of all I believe that Jesus himself uh was telling his own disciples but the problem is that they read but they don't believe in that which the prophets have said on the road to Emmaus he said that and therefore I would say start if you want to understand the end times first of all you need to go back to the scripture and scripture is not just the New Testament if you just go to church with the New Testament I hope you paid half price because you have half of the Bible um in fact Jesus never even quoted the New Testament once Paul never quoted the New Testament even once Peter never quoted the New Testament even once every time they wanted to make a point that there is a fulfillment of Prophecy they talked about the Old Testament so you first of all I'm introducing you back to that part of the Bible that Christians love to forget it's the Old Testament it's not the outdated it is all because there is a new and that makes the old old but it's not outdated and it's not no longer the word of God I will start with Genesis because in chapter 3 it's the first prophecy ever chapter 3 God is speaking to the serpent and he's telling him his future that's the first Bible prophecy and from that point on we see that God is revealing himself to people Isaiah 46 verse 9 to 10 says I am God there is no other I'm God there is none like me declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things that are not yet done saying my conscious will stand and I will do all my pleasure which means that throughout scriptures especially through the prophets which are the people that God chose to speak through um if I'm not mistaken it's um second Peter chapter 1 verse 20 and 21 that um prophecy never came by the will of men but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit and so prophets are the people and unfortunately I will have to say that the word prophecy the word prophetic is the most abused word nowadays everyone has a prophetic word everyone has a prophetic Revelation two-thirds of them are wrong within the first 10 minutes and the last third is wrong within a week you know how many prophetic words were there that on this on on September 26th something huge is going to happen do you know how many I could I cannot even count now what's the date today 27th 27th wow so we're still here the world did not come to an end you know how many of them said that this is the Feast of trumpets where we're coming we're going out because it's the end of the shemitah cycle hey we're still here and you know why by the way I'm a great believer in the imminent Rapture of the church it can happen any minute I'm I'm the opposite I think you do not have to say that it's going to happen at a certain day it can happen any day I'm just saying that if you believe it can happen in a certain day of the year that means that well we have to wait another year because it has to be on that day of the year now do you disqualify the rest so Jesus cannot come tomorrow according to those things or if you don't be begin another cycle of seven years God forbid we have to wait another seven years for you to be right every seven years I get the same thing and every Feast of trumpets I get the same thing let's not abuse that word let's go back to the word of God and the word of God when Paul talked about the Rapture of the church he never mentioned a specific Jewish Festival he never mentioned that the tribulation has begun he never mentioned any specific cycle of few years no he thought it's going to happen at his lifetime if he thought so then how much more we when we see the convergence of so many amazing things happening should also believe this thing kind of like a bounce back question um why don't Jews even bother to read the New Testament because we need to read all the why don't Jews in the New Testament Jews I'll tell you a secret I came to know Christ before I ever read a single word in the New Testament okay when Philip was in the carriage in The Chariot with the Ethiopian eunuch remember what book did he read to him before the eunuch understood he must be uh the the book of Isaiah not even the whole Old Testament one book was enough for him to understand I'm a sinner I must be baptized and I must you know follow the lord and repent he understood that Jewish people today still believe two things a that the New Testament is not for them because it was not written by Jews for Jews about the Jews they believe this is for another religion that's for all of you guys they also believe that you can be saved through good works and they can actually bring about the justification for themselves by prayer supplication by fasting when you need to fast and by there is a word in Hebrew trying hard just try hard that's it and therefore this is exactly what uh Paul said and as he wrote to the uh Tesla first of all he wrote it to the Romans as well but he also wrote it to the Corinthians and in second Corinthians chapter 3 Paul said this you said their mind their minds were blinded the children of Israel their minds were blinded for until this day the same Veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament because the veil is taken away in Christ but even to this day when when Moses is read a veil lies on their heart nevertheless when one turns to the Lord the veil is taken away how do you think I became a Believer how do you think I understand scriptures because I turn to Christ because I understood the Messiah is the answer and that's when the veil was taken away from me as a Jew and where did I find the Messiah in the book of Isaiah I watched the Jesus film but I knew Isaiah 53 I Knew by the way Isaiah almost caused me a heart attack I read Isaiah chapter 1. and I realized God hates religion I was like what Isaiah chapter 1 says that all the festivals and the sabbaths and the new moons that the Jewish people are celebrating he said this he said you're in Isaiah 1 verse 14 your new moons and your appointed Feasts my soul hates this is Isaiah the prophet that's not the second opinions chapter 5. this is the book of Isaiah he said look whenever you pray I'm turning my head I'm turning my face away you can do whatever you want come to the synagogue raise your hands blow the shofar I don't even listen because your hands are full of blood it's because you're Sinners you need to come clean you need to confess your sins you need to repent then come to me and see let's reason together he said from the first chapter Isaiah the prophet is telling the Jewish people you've turned the word of God into a religion that I'm not interested in by the way Christians did the same the word of God became a religion look at Catholicism look at Orthodoxy I mean the same thing people don't even read the word of God they just do liturgy and sacraments in in in in in in and they they do their services and their uh uh uh uh you know ceremonies and rituals that's it you come to an a common person who goes to a church uh which I call traditional church he doesn't even know the Bible he thinks that I was born a Christian no one was born a Christian no one on planet Earth has ever ever I'm looking at the camera because there's a lot of people that are watching us right now and by the way you saw a thousand it's not a thousand it's a thousand while it's still going on the minute you press end it's going to be fifty thousand and I will tell you no one has ever been born a Christian it's a lie if it says on your certificate Christian it is wrong it should be said sinner you were born a sinner you must be born again to be a Christian and in order to be born again your first birth is not enough if the first birth was enough why would Jesus come to Nicodemus and said unless you're born again you won't be able to see the kingdom of God and therefore it's the word of God that we must glean from that we must believe in and it's the understanding that we are sinners that we must be saved and that there is a way God provided for us to come and stand before him clean and that's through the blood of Christ that we sang about because right now as Believers God has the lens there's a filter of the blood of Jesus and through that he can see us spotless but you take the blood of Christ that lens that filter and you know exactly who we are all of us here if you're all believers look at yourself all of us will one day get a new body we already have a new heart a new spirit we are new creation where we're still captured in this Earthly body some of us have better body others have worse I used to be with the better until I became the worst and I can tell you that you can go to the gym 50 times a week that body can still not enter into the kingdom of God and the Bible says behold I tell you a mystery not all of us may die but all of us will change and this but you I'm giving you some hope here you know if you have back aches like me you know you you need some hope we are going to have but if you do if you do work out a lot you'll look better when you die compared to somebody else yeah but it'll be heavier until no never mind it's okay okay Daniel is going to kill me so we are we all were looking at Daniel um please explain the best way or the easiest way and a quick summary the pre-tribe Rapture to a fellow Christian who does not agree okay so the tribulation number one is designed to bring the Jews to their Messiah through pressure and through judgment upon the entire world also the Gentiles many people will come to Faith in the tribulation Jesus will return as it says in Zechariah 12 10 they will look on them whom they have pierced mourn for him as One Mourns for his only child and that's when they will realize who their Messiah was all along the tribulation and the trouble is designed to bring the Jewish Nation back to the Lord the Nations as well if the church is raptured within the tribulation or at the end why would the church who's already redeemed already saved go through trouble when the purpose of the tribulation is to save doesn't make sense that's what Daniel 9 verses 24 through 27 says it defines the purpose of the eschatological end times framework and that last week or set of seven of Daniel is designed to bring the Jews back to their Messiah and to usher in a new kingdom that's Point number one Point number two first Thessalonians chapter four talks about the Rapture and it says explicitly in the passage that we are not destined for Wrath in chapter five we're not destined yeah first Thessalonians chapter five read chapter four and five together you'll see we're not destined for wrath as the church that's number two number three if the tribulation happens before if the Rapture happens before the tribulation the next thing the church is waiting for and it doesn't know when is Jesus in the sky and that is all about being ready for the groom if the tribulation if if the Rapture is not pre-tribulation then the next thing that we're going to be waiting for is the Antichrist which creates fear anxiety all kinds of psychological challenges and in the first Thessalonians passage it says Comfort one another with these words that we are not destined for Wrath next this is an argument that I put the test this view if the pre-tribulation view is really valid you should see it pop up in the writings of the early church and church history it just so happens that polycarp the disciple of John who wrote the revelation he had another disciple named irenaeus who wrote a bunch of books called against heresies he was combating false teaching and guess what in book 5 he talks about how the Rapture is a good teaching and many people were denying it and not only that but that the Rapture must happen before the tribulation Clement of Alexandria it's even referred to in the Decay which is the teaching of The Twelve so you see in the early church and we're talking 140 to 170 A.D that's what they believed so the idea of a pre-tribulation Rapture suggests that the church is waiting for Jesus in the air we comfort each other with these words we do not go into the tribulation that's designed for the Jews and the Nations to receive Jesus and to come back to him as a nation to set up his kingdom we also know we're not destined for wrath there's no need to be purified when we are already purified by the blood of Jesus and the most strong argument in my opinion is that the pre-tribulation Rapture is the only view which puts you in a state of imminency or or it's imminent we don't know when the day or hour is think about it if the tribulation period is seven years and the day the Antichrist signs the the peace deal with Israel that's a day and a time it can be recorded all you have to do is Count ahead three and a half years if you have a mid-tribulation view you know the day and the hour if your post-tribulation you simply count seven years to the day in the hour and then people know what when the day of the Rapture is it just doesn't make sense some of these other views a lot of people try to argue with us online and I leave I leave the case to you those are basic principles I leave with you there are many other reasons as well but due to time I'm going to put a period on it there just so so you know if you watch the conference that we had a week and a half ago in Fort Worth Texas I gave a message called removed before Wrath and it's all about the biblical view of the pre-tribulation Rapture of the church because there's a lot of confusion people look at second Thessalonians chapter 2 and they say oh look it says the day will not come until the Antichrist will no no a lot of think oh it says the last trumpet it must be the trumpet Judgment of the Revelation they always come up with something that doesn't hold water when you examine the full scriptures especially in light of the Old Testament but I will also argue and say this how do you want to reach heaven rare medium well or well done really how do you think Christ wants his bride to arrive in heaven beautiful beaten half to death or completely dead what is it that we're trying to how can I ever come and comfort someone that the Rapture is coming when I'm telling him also oh by the way God designed it to be that your role your head will be cut off and rolled down the aisle before you even make it to him this is absolutely insanity and not only that I will say whenever the Old Testament prophets referred to that time they called it Jacob's trouble the trouble of Jacob Israel's time of trouble and Daniel himself in chapter 12 said there will be such a Time that is coming upon your people but they shall be saved out of it who everyone whose name is written in the book remember that when you become a Believer instantly your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life and when you are going to enter into the New Jerusalem the only certificate they're going to ask you to show is is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life not if you're a Jew not if you're a gentile not if you love sir Nikki not if you don't only if you are you can tell that I'm looking forward to eating one day um only if your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life and so that's all we need to know that's all we need to make sure that we have that our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life okay will all children and infants below the age of accountability be ruptured and this following up will there be babies born and children that will have to that will have to endure the tribulation I'll comment and then I want to have a mere comment on this so I was yeah because you can you can tie in let's say you a child is aborted or let's say a child dies at birth let's say parents are raptured and there's children in the home that are completely and utterly dependent upon their parents there's a few factors you have to consider one David when he lost his son due to his sin he said and no one argued with him he said he cannot be with me but one day I will go to him no no one argued not even the prophets no everybody accepted that as the Theology of ancient Israel if that's true and if the statements of Paul in the New Testament are true that there is some kind of a sanctification process when a believing family or a believing mother or a believing father even if it's a you know a divorced family and you got a believing person overlooking this child that has no sense of right and wrong our belief is that if the Rapture occurs and there's infants or children that are utterly dependent upon their parents there is a sanctification covering of that of miraculous nature that would maybe include them in the Rapture and I I personally believe that that's the case having said that do not Bank on laissez-faire lazy parenting parents are called explicitly to raise their children in the ways of the Lord and that includes zero all the way to as long as they're under their their care um what about teenagers same as if the teenagers died and weren't Believers now I mean that's an age where there's accountability every person has a soul and when you are conscious of sin and choices that's a different story it should lead us all to the unswerving conclusion that the gospel message is critical now more than ever I want to remind all of you that we love him because what he loved us first we're not dealing with an old judge that is sitting there in heaven wishing to judge and send to Hell people if they only did we're looking at a wonderful loving God that loved us first therefore now we love him so I'm not concerned about these questions because I know the god that I'm serving he is way more merciful than I can ever imagine now I'm not saying that okay because God is merciful all of us should live the way we want he gave us exactly the way how about which you need to live but to to to think about will my pet go to heaven or will my child go to you think God is going to be so hard-hearted in do those things now I don't believe about pets in heaven not because I don't want them in heaven it's because I don't find a verse about them you know will my dog make it to Heaven maybe but my life I've to believe that your Christian and he will make will make fine I love to support my beliefs with Chris with with with scriptures but I also want us to remember that we serve an amazingly loving and merciful god and when it comes to the question of children do you remember what Jesus said about children use you remember the the heavy judgment that will come upon anyone that is going to lead them astray why would I be concerned that God it does not like the children to come to him when I know that the Son of God God In the Flesh while was while being right here love them so much so I have all the reason to believe that children will make it to Heaven I believe that David was right when he knew that he will see his son one day when he will be your night because the soul of David is um there but of course he's awaiting his resurrection like all the resurrection of the Saints of the Old Testament you need to understand that until Jesus's resurrection everyone who died went downwards not upwards do you understand downwards was a place called in the place called sheol there was a place that is known as Abraham's bosom which is where the righteous ones were and there was a place of torments that was where the unrighteous were you could not cross it from one place to another after you died it's too late when Jesus came to the world and then when he died he went down to sheol the Bible is taking and then when he resurrected he took captivities with him remember he took captives with him from the moment Jesus resurrected the direction of The Souls of everyone who believes in Him is now upwards to to to be absent from the body is to what be present with the Lord that's it okay he's not down there he's up there how do I know he's up there who saw him up there while he was martyred who saw him up there saw him with his eyes Stephen Stephen upon his martyrdom saw the Lord himself as the as the skies were open he saw we know that he's there that's why in in Colossians chapter 3 it says if indeed you were raised with Christ then seek those things which are above where Christ is at the right hand of the father that's what it is so we that's it Believers go up there that's it he brought those from Abraham's bosom with him up and from now on the direction has changed but those that do not believe still go down and when is their time their time is after the millennial Kingdom when there will be the Great White's judgment remember the white Throne when there will be a mass resurrection of everyone that will stand before the Lord and everyone whose name is not in the land's Book of Life will have to be in that Lake of Fire this is something that I did not make up it's exactly what The Book of Revelation is telling us this is why the Book of Revelation was of Revelation was given to us so we know why we need to reach out why we need to tell the people about Jesus because the alternative is terrible those seven years tribulation it's you think now the world is crazy this is a joke no you think pandemic is do you know what's going to happen in Tribulation do you understand that billions will die not Millions do you understand that all sea life will be gone all Islands will be gone do you understand that all vegetation will be gone do you understand that huge big big uh uh uh uh elements from from the sky will hit people do you understand there's a sun will have no more filter the sun will Scourge men their skin will melt and they the Bible says in chapter 16 they will not repent but they will blaspheme God there will be such a terrible blindness and and and and and and I call it um um uh when when they brainwash that they they cannot even come to the point of we're wrong that's what we see that is going to happen today is the day of salvation John was given the Revelation so we will know what we are going to be exempt from but also so we will be even more so about the father's business so people as many as we can not go through that terrible time terrible time I cannot even imagine how anyone can think that the church will go even through half of it when this will be something that the world has never seen in the history of planet Earth never you one day if I ever come back here to teach on the Book of Revelation I will give you a a a a big you know table of what's going to happen in Tribulation in the different um in the different judgments you'll be amazed the none of you is prepared for this no one can be prepared for this you have to be super drugged or brainwashed to even be able to withstand this thing it's going to be a miracle and it will be that people will come to Christ today it's much easier it's much easier if you are not willing to live for him today why do you think you will be willing to die for him then today is the day of salvation if you don't understand that you might be waking up in a few days or in a few weeks in a few months maybe a couple years and it's going to be too late for you and then you'll be under so much stress that you will be almost forced to denounce Christ this is why we do what we do you think I'm enjoying traveling and killing myself with my back all over the world the time is short we know that people are lost they don't even know what is awaiting for this world this world this planet will be so damaged that God will have to make new Earth a new Heaven Even Heaven right now is already damaged because there was sin and Rebellion even in the Heavenly hosts this is why the New Jerusalem is described as a place that is no longer contaminated it's something new Heaven new Earth New Jerusalem where we are the citizens so we need to hold on a little bit more we need to stand fast and not be moved but we need to know that you don't want to gamble your life with your life with your future for what the world will never love you never ever a Christian will be loved and adored if you want the world to love you denounce Christ they will love you but as Christian [Music] we are designed not to be loved we're designed to be set apart we're designed to be different oh I don't want to be different well guess what you need to ah why am I supposed to always be different at school because you are different you have a different mind and a different heart you are a different person and you cannot be born a different person you must be born again to be a different person so all of you I'm I beg you if you if you think that religion will save you that you are born to some religion and it's good and I go to church every Sunday and it's enough and I give money or I do this that's not enough if there's never been enough God says to the Jewish people give us many shekels as you want and and pray as many times as you want I'm not going to listen to you foreign because I don't want religion I want relationship and that's why I'm saying it's important that we we don't give people a message that oh you've got three and a half more years at least if you if you believe in a mid-tribulation Rapture what are you telling people by the way Jesus cannot come back tomorrow that's what you're telling them you're telling them Jesus cannot back come back next week or next month or next year and when the tribulation will begin we'll let you know I don't need anyone to let me know I know that Christ says be all I'm coming quickly be ready that's all we need to know amen my question for you please explain how the war of Armageddon is different from Gorgon Magog my father-in-law claims that they're the same and they are both after the Rapture okay so a lot of people confuse Gog and Magog near uh Armageddon the Armageddon is the Nations coming together at the valley of Armageddon where the the mountain of megiddo is Hal megido in Hebrew that's where we get the word Armageddon guess what he got married there yes and he was my I was the emcee of my wedding I was the MCA he got married in Armageddon the actual site I'm not saying that he's prophetic regarding his marriage it's not but I'm just saying there is a real place of megido the mound of megiddo and Mike got married he can Testify the razor place there is a place I was married there and it's not prophetic not at all I'm not abusing that word come together and fight but uh the premise of Armageddon scripturally is that the Nations gather at the valley and they March up to Jerusalem to rebel against God and His anointed one Jesus and that is the theater of when Jesus returns that's what he finds that's the battle Gog and Magog happens before the tribulation the Ezekiel 37 and 38 and 39 make it clear that is a battle led by Russia with an alliance of Iran turkey Libya and Sudan specifically to invade Israel for its resources so they can exploit the country when they feel safe and in the land that's Israel safe and in the land the the Coalition led by Russia will do so when other nations are not going to stand in its way that's the battle that happens before the tribulation that ironically is all lined up right now in fact nordstream one of Russia was just decimated and now Russia has no chip to bargain with Europe and the nations of Europe are now going to be dependent on Israel which infuriates Russia to want what Israel has that they lost now don't be fooled there's another Gog and Magog at the end of the Millennium that's the Thousand-Year Reign after Jesus returns there's a thousand years and there's a Gog and Magog they're not the same one it'll be a global goggin Magog and it will be just like the Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38 and 39 Same Spirit a lot of the same intention and it's used as a metaphor to show that in the end days there's still a rebellious nature of humanity that even though you lock up Satan lock up the demons give them a perfect king with a perfect government that's Jesus perfect economy perfect Department of energy perfect Department of Education perfect military perfect police even yet there is still a battle that people want to rebel against God for their own selfish desires so Gog and Magog before the tribulation then you have the Armageddon right before Jesus returns and another Gog and Magog like uh Rebellion at the very end of the millennium and if you missed it uh Mike was here in March April of this year and we had a three-day conference and he beautifully spoke about all that and explained it uh Amir how were you taught as a Jewish boy to understand Isaiah 53 and was it difficult for you to see that scripture is pointing to Jesus as a suffering servant I was not taught anything I uh nobody taught me because I I grew up in foster home that was not Jew that was not religious so whatever I absorbed in the Jewish faith was for my visits to the synagogue during the holidays during Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur and all of that these are probably the only holidays I would attend to synagogue anyway um Isaiah 53 I read only when I started reading the Bible which is when my friends told me they challenged me I was 17. my friends challenged me with you know if you want to understand Jesus you can you know read and I read Isaiah and you know before you know it you reach Isaiah 7 that the Virgin shall conceive and then you move to Isaiah 9 that you see that his name is elgibor Sao Shalom and you know almighty God Everlasting father and all that and then you move on to Isaiah 11 and you see that from the stem of Jesse there will be that person I will have uh all the seven spirits that we know that God has and then you move on to Isaiah 53 and then you move on to Isaiah 60 and then you understand that the entire book of Isaiah just like what Jeremiah and Hosea in in others we're all talking about Jesus um in fact in Hosea chapter 5 verse 15 he says I will return again to my place until they acknowledge their offense and through their Affliction or in their Affliction they will earnestly seek me Hosea said I was here I will return back until they acknowledge their offense and through affliction tribulation Jacob's trouble they will then earnestly seek me and they will find me the Bible says if you seek the Lord you will you will find him um so Isaiah as a prophet as a book was revealed to me only at the age of 17 when I began to read the Bible look as a Jew we study the Bible in school in you know middle school and high school but we don't study from the perspective of the word of God that we need to believe in and all of that we studied from a you know perspective of there might be two isaiahs because half of the book is Judgment of Israel and the other half is the comfort of Israel so scholars believe there might be you know all of this type of uh nonsense and then they found the scroll of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls and they realize it on one scroll it wasn't two there was no two isaiahs and they were like oops we made a mistake so um the age of 17 I read and one of the things that bothered me is the New Testament you're probably asking what are you talking about I said I did not understand why I need also a new testament I didn't understand that a new testament in Hebrew is a new covenant I had no idea why do I need it I'm a Jew I have the Bible and then um I kept reading uh the prophets and I I made it all the way to Isaiah Jeremiah chapter 31 and I found out where it says behold the days are coming says the Lord when I will make a New Covenant a new testament with the house of Israel and with the house the word New Testament appears in the Old Testament as something that God will give to the nation of Israel I said okay I found it nobody ever told me that the New Testament is for Israel I always thought the New Testament is for gentiles I thought the New Testament is for non-jews I thought the New Testament is for those people who who started a new religion no it was meant to be for the nation of Israel the Bible says that as a Jew how can I say no to it so once you turn to Christ the veil is taken just like second Corinthians chapter 3 says and when the veil was taken I could see everything now every time I read the Old Testament I saw Christ everywhere this is why by the way one of the teachings is Jesus in the Old Testament you can find it online on our YouTube channel Jesus in the Old Testament I send it to anyone that wants proof of the Messiah from the Old Testament so Isaiah the age of 17 nobody taught me before anything and just to clarify chapter 53 of Isaiah that chapter that led me to the Lord is not allowed in synagogues do you know that every time they read Isaiah in the synagogue because they go through the prophets every Shabbat they reach chapter 52 and they hop to chapter 54. 53 is known as The Forbidden chapter it's forbidden because if you read it you understand that you're in trouble that Jesus it's all about him from the moment you read it's actually from the end of 52 already it's unbelievable who is the one upon him God will put the chastisement of of everyone who is the one who Bears on on him the sins of the whole world that by his wounds we are healed all of us have gone astray each and one of us went to his own way and the Lord put on him our sins who is that God I asked in nobody could answer and I realize it it is Jesus and this is when I got back home from the Jesus film and I told everyone around the table I grew up in foster care we were 12 children in the family put us in a different place to eat than them there was the table and the food of the family and there was ours and for years I resented that I mean why would I not sit with you and never mind that was the first time I was happy because I could talk freely and nobody was supervising and I told everyone about Isaiah 53 I said it is about the Messiah and told everyone but one I couldn't stand him so I just skipped him and you know God has a sense of humor when he's the only one that God saved now I have to be with him for eternity but uh it's just amazing to see that the Lord can open your eyes when you turn to him yeah um you didn't know this but I was living in Israel around that time it was in the 90s he had gotten saved from seeing the Jesus film on top of all of that that was kind of the trigger and I was working for a Ministry called campus Crusade we called ourselves light in the lands in Hebrew and there was one year they put these like the video said the ads for the video on the front page of Israeli newspapers and I was on staff at the time and I said I think this is a waste of money we should be putting this money into more cassette tapes we use cassette tapes back then remember VH you don't even know what that is it's something that is with wheels and the tape and I I I couldn't convince them and little did I know that I was fighting against what God's will was and it was like God's humor to make I married into the family were brother-in-laws and then I found out just a few years ago that it was the role of the Jesus film on the front page of a newspaper it was like God smiling from Heaven saying don't ever go against what I'm doing and God has a way of humoring his people when they step out in faith and sometimes you think that you something doesn't make sense obedience sometimes doesn't make sense and you step out and it's not until years later that God shows up and says wow that is amazing now I know we're running the clock I know I know we are feeling free it's good it's good um and on that I'm sorry we're not going to get to all the questions there's about 40 plus more questions to get to we would love to be here all night but time is of the essence I'm going to ask you all to stand um Pastor Mike Will you lead us in prayer and to finish it off we're going to sing one worship song and then we will have a good night tell you what I'll
