Caption transcript for Israel In Prophecy: “Gary Fisher and David Reagan” (3/8)

• 00:07 This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come.
• 00:13 Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse
• 00:18 deceiving and being deceived.
• 00:21 But continue in the Holy Scriptures
• 00:23 which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
• 00:44 Shalom and welcome to our program.
• 00:46 I'm Myles Weiss
• 00:47 And I'm Katharine Weiss
• 00:49 Today we are going to be focusing on Israel in prophecy.
• 00:52 The restoration of Israel is a sign for us of Jesus' soon return.
• 00:58 You know Myles it says in Ezekiel 36
• 01:00 that He's going to re-gather the people back to their land
• 01:03 that He promised them and that He gave through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 01:08 Yes we're in that land to stay
• 01:10 according to Amos 9 and many other scriptures
• 01:12 the gifts and callings are without repentance
• 01:15 and so the Jewish people are in the land to stay,
• 01:17 And yet nations are gathering and looking towards Jerusalem
• 01:21 and are looking for a battle with the God of Israel.
• 01:24 You know Joel 4:14 says...
• 01:26 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 01:29 "...the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision."
• 01:32 In today's program we are going to hear from two speakers from a recent prophecy conference.
• 01:38 And our staff theologian Todd Baker interviewed them
• 01:41 about Israel in prophecy and the coming day of the LORD.
• 01:45 So let's go to those interviews.
• 01:48 Well all of history's destiny
• 01:50 is wrapped up in the future of Israel.
• 01:52 And of course the Bible makes it very plain
• 01:54 that all things are headed toward the redemption of Israel.
• 01:58 Israel has lived outside of her country
• 02:01 in exile for 1900 years or so
• 02:04 but the Bible makes it plain that in the end days
• 02:06 all the folks of the world is going to go back to Israel
• 02:09 and all the blessing that God has available to Him
• 02:14 will be wrapped up in the glorification and the re-unification of Israel.
• 02:18 They are re-established back in the land;
• 02:21 God is now in the plan to restore them
• 02:23 and they are going to assume all the blessings of God
• 02:28 and become the head of the nations like God intended for them as a nation to begin with.
• 02:33 So them being in that land as we recognize today
• 02:37 is just a sign that God is up; God is moving
• 02:40 and He is about to do all the promises that He claimed
• 02:44 that He was going to do for the Jewish people
• 02:46 and funnel the blessing of God through them to the world.
• 02:50 Romans (chapters) 9, 10 and 11...
• 02:53 I like to think of it this way...
• 02:54 Romans 9...Israel's past
• 02:56 Romans 10...Israel's present
• 02:58 Romans 11...Israel's future
• 03:00 Romans 11:25 a partial hardening has happened to Israel.
• 03:04 I'm glad the word "partial" is used because if it were a full
• 03:07 we wouldn't have Peter, James, John, Thaddeus, Bartholomew
• 03:10 and the other writers of the New Testament.
• 03:13 They were all Jewish.
• 03:14 The New Testament church... Absolutely
• 03:16 A partial hardening has happened to Israel.
• 03:18 And so we see that partial hardening in play throughout the history.
• 03:22 But something is about to break loose.
• 03:25 And the Bible says in Romans 11:25
• 03:27 that a partial hardening has happened until...
• 03:31 I love that word "until"
• 03:34 because I have heard so many sermons in my life
• 03:37 there's no future for the land of Israel;
• 03:40 there's no future for the Jew.
• 03:41 But the Bible says "until" something.
• 03:44 Until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in
• 03:47 and then "all" Israel will be saved.
• 03:51 WOW what other group of people have been promised that
• 03:55 and what other circumstances could be better
• 03:58 than the ones that God describes after that?
• 04:01 So we are looking at a situation right now in the world today
• 04:06 where God is starting to move that partial hardening away.
• 04:10 We have the birth of the Messianic movement at the turn of the 1900s.
• 04:15 Yes
• 04:16 Today there is over 100 Messianic congregations alone in Israel
• 04:21 and something like 500 in the world.
• 04:24 The Jewish people are starting to understand
• 04:26 Yeshua was and is the Messiah.
• 04:29 And I love the way John the apostle put it...
• 04:31 He was, He is, and He is to come!
• 04:34 And I cannot wait...
• 04:35 I cannot wait.
• 04:37 Well you're so right.
• 04:38 As you know I carry out Gospel outreaches in Israel three times a year
• 04:42 and I would say 8 out of 10 Israelis that we witness to
• 04:47 are very open to the Gospel of Jesus
• 04:50 and receiving the New Testament with the Old Testament in Hebrew
• 04:54 Well the greatest sign...
• 04:57 if you'll allow me some liberty for a moment...
• 04:59 the greatest sign in the world
• 05:01 that God is about to send the Messiah
• 05:03 is the restoration of Israel.
• 05:05 That's right
• 05:07 Ezekiel 36...I will take you from the countries where you've been scattered...
• 05:09 I will bring you in to, not somebody else's land, but into your own land...
• 05:13 then I will sprinkle clean water on you and you'll be clean.
• 05:16 God invented, if you will, the Jewish nation
• 05:21 to teach the world what it was like to know a personal God.
• 05:25 That was what they were originally called to do...
• 05:27 the priests, if you will.
• 05:29 Right
• 05:31 And God has gathered the Jewish people back in the land of Israel
• 05:34 telling us as a sign that He is going to start putting that plan back into place.
• 05:39 The Jewish people are going to call on Him.
• 05:42 They're going to say "Baruch "Haba B'Shem Adonai"...
• 05:45 "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD"
• 05:48 which brings His physical return.
• 05:50 And He is going to come with all the power in the universe and blessing.
• 05:55 We've been operating under a curse since the Garden of Eden.
• 05:58 But Zechariah 14 says in that day the curse will be lifted
• 06:03 and all the power in the universe will be turned into blessing.
• 06:07 The Jewish people are front and center of all of that plan.
• 06:11 And them being in the land today
• 06:12 is a sign that God is about to install that plan and I cannot wait.
• 06:16 It's an indisputable sign.
• 06:18 That's why you've got some of these denominations in the church
• 06:23 who want to divest themselves from Israel
• 06:25 and deny that modern day Israel is a fulfillment of prophecy
• 06:28 when it so clearly is.
• 06:30 Amen
• 06:31 And to deny that to me is just the height of blindness really.
• 06:35 I think another thing that's worthy of mentioning
• 06:39 is that what this world needs is a king.
• 06:43 We've got Democrats... Republicans...Socialites...
• 06:47 We've got Communists...
• 06:48 We've got every kind of...
• 06:51 Political party
• 06:53 Political variety you can dream of
• 06:55 We have never tried a theocracy.
• 06:58 We are getting ready to endure...
• 07:00 enjoy is a better word...
• 07:02 a theocracy.
• 07:04 Jesus is coming and He is coming according to Zechariah 14:9
• 07:07 to become King over the whole earth.
• 07:09 And guess what?
• 07:11 He is a Jewish Rabbi.
• 07:13 We are going to have a Jewish Rabbi who is King over the whole earth.
• 07:17 The Bible will be the constitution.
• 07:20 The whole world will start the day with Bible study with this Yeshua teaching.
• 07:25 And I cannot wait brother.
• 07:27 I just can't wait.
• 07:28 I'm excited.
• 07:29 You can see that I think.
• 07:30 Absolutely
• 07:32 You know Isaiah 2, the law will go forth from Jerusalem
• 07:34 and it will be a universal law, a global law
• 07:37 and there will be no supreme court to say
• 07:40 you can't bring the scriptures in the public arena.
• 07:43 Right?
• 07:44 Amen
• 07:45 When that "Baruch Haba B'Shem Adonai" statement is made
• 07:48 all the cursing that's in the universe right now will break out on the earth in blessing.
• 07:53 All the power of earthquakes, tornados, whatever you can dream of in cursing;
• 08:00 all of that power will be turned into blessing on the world.
• 08:04 The curse will be lifted.
• 08:06 It'll be like a renewed Garden of Eden all over when Messiah reigns on earth.
• 08:12 Amen
• 08:13 Today would be good with me.
• 08:14 Yeah...absolutely!
• 08:16 I'll tell the theological brothers I'll skip the rapture and the tribulation.
• 08:18 Just get me the King in here.
• 08:20 What the world needs is a King.
• 08:21 Amen
• 08:23 Well for the last 2,000 years the re-establishment of Israel
• 08:25 has to be the greatest fulfillment of prophecy
• 08:30 since the time of Jesus' first coming.
• 08:32 Wouldn't you agree?
• 08:33 Absolutely
• 08:35 Ezekiel 33 talks about the dispersion of the Jewish people from the land of Israel.
• 08:39 Seemingly all hope was gone for the Jewish nation.
• 08:42 God said in Ezekiel 34,
• 08:45 I'm going to bring you back to the land...
• 08:47 I'm not going to leave you dispersed...
• 08:48 I'm going to bring you back.
• 08:50 Ezekiel 35 it talks about
• 08:52 Arabs are mad about Jewish people being back in the land.
• 08:56 But Ezekiel 36 says, I'm going to bless the land...
• 08:59 I'm going to bring the tourists there...the passers-by
• 09:02 and they are going to come and say this land has become like the Garden of Eden.
• 09:06 Mark Twain went to Israel in 1867.
• 09:09 Reflecting back on Ezekiel 33,
• 09:12 God said I will take you from the land...desolate the land.
• 09:15 In 1867 Mark Twain went there and gave testimony in his diary "Innocence Abroad."
• 09:21 He said the place is totally desolate...totally desolate.
• 09:25 That's right...no life anywhere.
• 09:27 He wrote perhaps there are more rocks on the road in the approach to Jerusalem
• 09:31 than there are in the surrounding country side.
• 09:34 Today Israel is one of few net food exporting countries in the world
• 09:39 in just over 100 years since Mark Twain wrote that.
• 09:42 (Todd Speaking) I think they're like 3rd in the world aren't they?
• 09:43 (Gary speaking) I've read in the top 5.
• 09:45 I don't know about that but I've read in the top 5.
• 09:48 And I do know that every single year they are breaking export records and that is a total...
• 09:54 So Ezekiel 36 is literally coming to pass through that.
• 09:57 36 and then we have 37 the valley of dry bones
• 10:01 where the average Jewish person is not in belief in God.
• 10:05 But that's getting ready to change.
• 10:07 Then we have 38 where the great war of Gog and Magog.
• 10:11 Then we have 39 with the further description of that.
• 10:14 And in chapter 40 breaks forth in glory brother, the return of Messiah.
• 10:18 And the millennial Kingdom
• 10:20 And then the millennial Kingdom in which He is King of Kings and LORD of Lords.
• 10:25 You know as a Jewish person it's so exciting to hear a preacher say "Baruch Haba b'Shem Adonai";
• 10:31 that my Jewish people will cry out for the LORD to come,
• 10:35 "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD."
• 10:37 And we're getting close to that day we know that.
• 10:40 And Yeshua Himself He said in Luke 21:28,
• 10:44 "when you see these things come to pass, look up, because your redemption draws nigh."
• 10:49 And that's the season that we're in.
• 10:51 Right, we're in a time of shaking and we're in the birth pangs
• 10:54 but there's a great joy that awaits all of us and it's the joy of His return.
• 10:59 And so as you continue to view with us just rejoice and know that God is soon coming.
• 11:05 Don't look at all the headlines and the woes that are coming on the earth
• 11:08 but know that there's a great promise that God's ordained
• 11:12 for you to be part with Him in these last days.
• 11:15 We'll be back after this.

• 12:52 You know we're continuing our story of Israel in prophecy.
• 12:55 And Dr. David Reagan was interviewed by Todd Baker recently.
• 12:59 And he has been the minister of Lion and Lamb ministry for years.
• 13:03 He's been on radio and TV for many, many years.
• 13:05 He gives us some interesting insight about where we are in time.
• 13:08 So let's go to that right now.
• 13:12 Jesus Himself said I will not return until the Jewish people are willing to say,
• 13:18 "Baruch Haba b'Shem Adonai"...
• 13:20 "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD".
• 13:22 So His return to this earth is waiting for that moment and I can hardly wait.
• 13:29 It's going to be an exciting moment.
• 13:31 I'm with you on that.
• 13:32 You know Tim LaHaye has said that Israel is the super sign of the end times.
• 13:37 So if anyone has any doubts about the veracity of the Bible as you've long taught
• 13:42 one only has to look at the miraculous re-gathering of Israel...Right?
• 13:46 Well yes Israel is very important in the end time.
• 13:50 The Bible focuses on Israel in the end times
• 13:52 and talks about many prophecies that will be fulfilled among the Jewish people in the end times.
• 13:58 One would be the re-gathering of the Jewish people in unbelief
• 14:00 from the four corners of the earth which started in the 1890s and is continuing to this day.
• 14:05 I mean there were only 40,000 Jews in all of Israel in 1900
• 14:09 and today there is over 6 million,
• 14:11 as many as were killed in the holocaust.
• 14:13 And then the Bible prophesizes that the State of Israel will be re-established
• 14:17 and it was on May 14,1948.
• 14:20 It prophesizes that Jews will get back into the City of Jerusalem.
• 14:23 On June 7, 1967 that happened.
• 14:25 It prophesizes in 2 places that I know of
• 14:27 that the speech, the pure speech of the Hebrew people will be revived in the end times.
• 14:31 And most people are not aware of the fact
• 14:33 that when they were scattered all over the world they stopped speaking Hebrew.
• 14:36 The Jews in Europe took Hebrew and mixed it with German and came up with Yiddish.
• 14:40 And Jews in the Mediterranean basin
• 14:42 took Hebrew and they mixed it with Spanish and they came up with Latino.
• 14:46 And by the time of the 20th century they began going to a synagogue.
• 14:50 And hearing the Rabbi read from the scriptures
• 14:55 would be like going to a Catholic mass and listening to a priest read in Latin.
• 14:59 Good analogy.
• 15:00 But there was a man who God raised up from Lithuania
• 15:04 who had this vision of reviving Biblical Hebrew.
• 15:08 No language like that had ever been revived from the dead again.
• 15:12 And that was Eliezer Ben-Yehuda.
• 15:14 Eliezer Ben-Yehuda and he came down with tuberculosis in his early twenties
• 15:19 and was given only a few months to live
• 15:21 and he said; well I'm going to die in my homeland.
• 15:23 So he went to Jerusalem of all places
• 15:25 which was an incubator of disease at that time but he lived.
• 15:28 He lived till 1922 and he revived the Hebrew language from the dead.
• 15:33 And this has never been done before.
• 15:35 A Greek person today can't read the writings of Homer unless they're an academic expert.
• 15:40 But I was recently at the Dead Sea Scrolls museum in Israel
• 15:44 and I was telling the group about it.
• 15:46 We turned around to walk away and heard somebody speaking in Hebrew
• 15:49 and I turned around and there was a boy about 12 years old
• 15:52 and he had a pointer and he was pointing at the Isaiah scroll and reading it.
• 15:56 (Todd speaking) Fantastic
• 15:58 (Dr. Reagan speaking) Yes...probably preparing for his bar mitzvah.
• 16:00 And I thought what a miracle that God said He would do it and He did it.
• 16:04 But there are many other prophesies about Israel in the end times
• 16:07 such as the military will have a resurgence.
• 16:11 The military was very great under David and Solomon.
• 16:14 But there would be a resurgence of the military.
• 16:16 In fact in Zechariah 12 it says that in the end times
• 16:19 that Israel's military will be like David and his Goliath.
• 16:23 It will consume all those round about it.
• 16:25 They'll be supernatural in its power.
• 16:28 And we've seen that happen as Israel is one of the smallest nations in the world...
• 16:31 the size of New Jersey and yet it's ranked in the top 15
• 16:35 and often in the top 10 military powers of the world
• 16:38 and they usually rank it number 1 in the effective use of its power.
• 16:42 That has to be a miracle of God.
• 16:43 And the other prophecy I would mention
• 16:46 is that it says in the end times that the whole world would come against Israel
• 16:50 and primarily over the issue of Jerusalem.
• 16:52 And that's where we are right now.
• 16:53 Certainly is
• 16:55 The whole world is focused on Jerusalem.
• 16:57 Jerusalem has more international correspondence
• 16:59 than any other city in the world.
• 17:02 And it's because the world is focused on Jerusalem.
• 17:04 So end time prophecy is very much focused on the Jewish people.
• 17:09 And when we see all these things happening
• 17:11 we can know that we are living in the season of the LORD's return.
• 17:14 Nobody knows the date when Jesus is going to come back
• 17:16 or when the rapture of the church is going to occur
• 17:18 but I'll tell you this
• 17:20 you can know that you're in the season
• 17:21 when you see all of these things happening.
• 17:24 Our offer on this program...

• 18:03 so thank you for your partnership.
• 18:04 Let's go back to our interview with Dr. David Reagan.
• 18:08 With Iran now this...
• 18:09 they're becoming more and more of a menace
• 18:12 and then here we have this recent deal that the Whitehouse struck with Iran
• 18:17 which we know eventually... The deal with the devil
• 18:20 Yes Yes
• 18:21 And a sellout of Israel.
• 18:23 It's the ultimate sellout.
• 18:25 It all began with the first Bush administration
• 18:27 when we forced Israel into the Madrid conference
• 18:30 and said you must start trading land for peace
• 18:33 or you will not get our guarantee for a loan from the World Bank
• 18:37 that they desperately needed to deal with all of the influx of refugees from Russia.
• 18:42 And so we forced them to start giving away land for peace
• 18:46 and as anybody knows who knows history
• 18:48 a policy of appeasement is a self-defeating policy.
• 18:52 When you try to appease an aggressor all you do is wet their appetite
• 18:56 and make them to want more and more and more.
• 18:58 And that's what's been going on
• 19:00 and we've had Israel's arm on the back up to their neck
• 19:05 forcing them every step of the way in this land for peace nonsense
• 19:08 and what has it resulted in?
• 19:10 They give up the Gaza strip the Gaza strip becomes a launching place for missiles...
• 19:14 it doesn't work.
• 19:16 And the only thing the Arabs will recognize is power...
• 19:20 they recognize power.
• 19:22 Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about.
• 19:23 And that is that in 1967 when the Jews won the 1967 war
• 19:27 the Arabs expected the Jews to do to the Arab sector of old Jerusalem
• 19:32 exactly what they had done to the Jewish sector.
• 19:34 When they conquered the Jewish sector in 1949 they blew it up,
• 19:38 burned it to the ground,
• 19:39 destroyed the entire thing;
• 19:40 destroyed all the synagogues.
• 19:42 They expected the Jews to do the same thing in the Arab order
• 19:45 and they expected them to blow up the mosque, the mosque of Omar,
• 19:50 which is really not a mosque but the Dome of the Rock.
• 19:52 Well the Jews didn't do that.
• 19:55 They said we want to show you that we want to live in peace with you.
• 19:58 And we want to show you that by
• 20:01 we're not going to touch the Arab quarter,
• 20:02 we're not going to do anything to it
• 20:04 and we're going to let you have administrative control over the Dome of the Rock.
• 20:07 Now, from the Arab mentality that is a sign of weakness...
• 20:12 these are weak people...
• 20:13 they didn't do what we did...
• 20:15 they don't have the will to deal with their enemy like we do
• 20:19 and sooner or later we will conquer them.
• 20:23 Yeah and the only peace the Arabs want
• 20:25 is Israel piece by piece.
• 20:26 Well that's true.
• 20:28 You know I think the best summary of the whole Middle East situation
• 20:31 is if the Arabs were to disarm there would be peace in the Middle East.
• 20:36 If Israel were to disarm Israel would cease to exist.
• 20:39 Right, Golda Meir even said that
• 20:40 Israel is not the aggressor...
• 20:42 they're not the aggressor in the Middle East...
• 20:44 they want to live in peace and they've done everything they can
• 20:46 They have humanistic leaders who believe with all their heart
• 20:49 if they will be kind to their enemy the enemy will be kind to them
• 20:52 because they believe in the basic goodness of man.
• 20:56 And the Bible says it doesn't exist...
• 20:58 man is basically evil and you've got to deal with that evil nature.
• 21:02 And as long as...
• 21:03 The leaders of Israel have been very deceived
• 21:07 and self-deception is the greatest deception of all.
• 21:09 And they truly believe if they will just do what the western world wants them to do
• 21:13 and they will also at the same time be very kind and gentle and loving toward the Arab people
• 21:19 then everything will be okay.
• 21:21 And it doesn't work...
• 21:22 it won't work.
• 21:23 No and they can never satisfy the west.
• 21:26 Whatever they give them the west will want more and more
• 21:28 until finally Israel does not exist.
• 21:30 They've got to dig in.
• 21:31 Take for example the situation with Iran.
• 21:33 The whole world is saying to Israel we've got to be patient, you've got to be patient, you...
• 21:38 Well hey you're sitting here with a guy who is saying
• 21:41 the moment that we get the nuclear weapon we're going to drop it on Israel.
• 21:45 (Todd speaking) They said that after the supposed deal with the Whitehouse.
• 21:48 I know...I know...and you've got a tiny nation.
• 21:50 All you got to do is hit Tel Avi and you destroy the nation...
• 21:54 I mean the winds are going to take it to Jerusalem.
• 21:57 And people don't understand that.
• 21:59 So what nation in the world...
• 22:01 what nation in the world would sit there
• 22:03 and say well we're just going wait and see what happens.
• 22:05 Any other nation would attack a pre-emptive attack and destroy them.
• 22:09 Long ago...absolutely
• 22:11 But if Israel does
• 22:13 Israel will be condemned by every nation in the world
• 22:15 just as they were when they destroyed the reactor in Iraq in 1981.
• 22:19 They destroyed it and the whole world condemned them and the United Nations condemned them.
• 22:22 Ten years later the whole world said whew, we sure are glad they destroyed that nuclear weapon.
• 22:27 They will be saying the same when they strike against Iran.
• 22:30 And you know the interesting thing about that as you well know
• 22:33 is most of the Arab world is Sunni Muslim
• 22:35 and they're just as frightened of Iran as Israel is.
• 22:39 Yeah, Saudi Arabia...
• 22:41 Yeah and working behind the scenes they're encouraging Israel to do something.
• 22:45 Talk about strange bedfellows...right? That's right
• 22:48 America obviously is morally drifting further and further away from God.
• 22:54 They're beginning to turn from Israel.
• 22:55 Where do you see this country going
• 22:57 within the context of end time Bible prophecy Dr. Reagan?
• 23:00 This nation is literally begging for the judgment of God.
• 23:04 And the Bible teaches that when a nation has been blessed like our nation has been blessed
• 23:09 that God expects us to respond with gratitude, with faith, with love.
• 23:17 Instead we have responded in pride and we have shaken our fist at God.
• 23:23 We have a president of the United States
• 23:24 ever since he has been in office every June has issued
• 23:27 a proclamation celebrating lesbianism, homo-sexuality, bi-sexual, transgendered....
• 23:34 Which is condemned in Romans 1 among other passages in God's Word.
• 23:39 I see the message every year when he issues that proclamation
• 23:42 but this last time I decided to get sarcastic.
• 23:44 I sent him an email message and I said Mr. President
• 23:46 you say you believe in equality,
• 23:48 you believe in non-discrimination.
• 23:49 Why are you discriminating in your proclamation?
• 23:52 Why did you not include prostitutes and fornicators
• 23:56 and adulterers and pedophiles and zoophiles? Good point
• 23:59 I mean if we're going to celebrate immorality
• 24:02 we might as well celebrate all of it.
• 24:03 But we are literally begging for the judgment of God
• 24:05 and the Bible teaches that when a nation does that
• 24:07 God will raise up prophetic voices in the nation
• 24:10 to call the nation to repentance
• 24:12 and He's been doing that for some time now
• 24:14 through people like Dave Wilkerson
• 24:15 and now through people like Jonathan Kahn
• 24:18 and others who are calling this nation to repentance.
• 24:21 And then it says that if the prophetic voices are ignored
• 24:24 He will then put remedial judgments upon the nation.
• 24:27 And He has been putting remedial judgments upon us ever since the Viet Nam war
• 24:30 one after another after another.
• 24:32 And it says that if we ignore those then we cross a line
• 24:36 where He delivers us from judgment to destruction.
• 24:38 Yeah
• 24:39 And that's where we are.
• 24:41 And what's going to happen I don't know.
• 24:44 It could be a terrorist attack.
• 24:45 We're very open to that;
• 24:47 are borders are so vulnerable and people coming in
• 24:49 and you know somebody get on a big building in New York and dump a box of anthrax.
• 24:53 I mean...and so many things that could happen...
• 24:55 float in a cargo ship with an atomic bomb on it...
• 24:57 there's so many things that could happen.
• 24:58 Terrorist attack...
• 25:00 it could be just the moral rottenness of our nation that we just collapse from that.
• 25:04 It could be an attack from abroad.
• 25:07 It could be a combination of those.
• 25:09 I'm hoping and I'm praying that it'll be the rapture of the church
• 25:13 because if the rapture occurs this nation will just simply...
• 25:15 We have more born again Christians than any other nation in the world
• 25:18 and this nation in a matter of hours would have to be under martial law.
• 25:23 And probably get into the European Union in order to survive.
• 25:27 I don't know what it'll be but this nation is begging for the judgment of God.
• 25:33 I agree with you totally.
• 25:34 I tell you one thing...
• 25:36 I said years ago in 2003...
• 25:37 I said I think it will be an economic collapse because our god is money.
• 25:41 And our God is a jealous God and when we make god our money I think He'll destroy the dollar.
• 25:47 As you can hear from that interview we are living in perilous times
• 25:51 but we're not without hope.
• 25:53 You know the Bible is full of hope.
• 25:54 It's a story that begins with a wedding and ends with a wedding.
• 25:58 It's always about intimacy.
• 26:00 It's always about God wanting to draw you into a relationship with Himself.
• 26:03 And He's done that with Israel.
• 26:05 He'll continue to do that with Israel.
• 26:06 He wants to do it personally with us as well.
• 26:09 Yeah, absolutely, you know we're living in perilous times
• 26:12 but we're not living in times that we can be just absolutely afraid.
• 26:16 We have a hope where there's a hope of our salvation.
• 26:19 There's a hope that's greater.
• 26:21 It's an anchor.
• 26:22 It takes us beyond what the natural sees into the eternal realm.
• 26:27 And it's a fresh surrender to Jesus.
• 26:29 And I know that I myself and Myles and I are making a fresh surrender each and every day
• 26:35 to make sure there's nothing that's holding us back
• 26:37 from that high calling that's in Christ Jesus.
• 26:40 There's a call that takes us beyond this realm into a heavenly realm.
• 26:43 And when we make that surrender; when we surrender to Him and His call in our life
• 26:48 and we let go of this world and the desires of this world
• 26:51 our life affects others for the benefit and for a blessing.
• 26:55 And I know that's your heart desire
• 26:58 so I just encourage you to make that fresh surrender today to the LORD
• 27:01 and I know He'll take whatever care that you have and whatever concern that you have
• 27:08 and He'll give you a hope.
• 27:09 It's all true folks.
