Caption transcript for Times of the Signs: “The Sword of Allah” (7/8)

• 00:04 Is the rise of Islamic state a sign the Messiah is coming soon?
• 00:09 Find out - next
• 00:11 on Times of the Signs.
• 01:11 Shalom , and welcome to our program, I'm Myles Weiss
• 01:13 and I'm Katharine Weiss.
• 01:14 We want to welcome you to our series Times of the Signs.
• 01:17 We are in the perplexity of nations.
• 01:20 Yes we are but we're not in perplexity
• 01:22 and those who are following the LORD are not.
• 01:24 Today's program is called, "The Sword of Allah"
• 01:27 and we want to speak about the rise of Jihad in the world.
• 01:30 You think about Christianity and it's about peace and love.
• 01:33 and even Judaism is all about...
• 01:35 Life
• 01:36 ...life,
• 01:37 life, life, life
• 01:39 and acts of kindness, acts of goodness, good deeds.
• 01:42 But you think of this Allah
• 01:44 and you're thinking of people's heads being cut off.
• 01:46 Which is what is happening today.
• 01:48 It is so sad.
• 01:49 The Jews, the Christians and the Muslims
• 01:52 are being attacked by this religion
• 01:54 because it's a religion of oppression and submission.
• 01:57 Yes, that's right.
• 01:58 Many people think and we've been told
• 01:59 by our leaders that Islam means peace.
• 02:02 It does not mean peace it means submission.
• 02:04 It means the ultimate goal in Islam
• 02:07 is for the entire planet to be
• 02:09 under Sharia law, Islamic law.
• 02:11 But it doesn't come by Jihad.
• 02:13 It only happens when in a given nation or given area
• 02:16 they feel strong enough to overtake violently.
• 02:19 They begin with a cultural infiltration called "dawah"
• 02:23 and that's what we're seeing in the world.
• 02:24 I spoke with Avi Lipkin,
• 02:26 our friend and expert on Islam,
• 02:27 about the different factions within Islam.
• 02:30 Let's go to that interview now.
• 02:41 The 1400 year war started with the 4th Caliph Ali.
• 02:47 You had 3 Caliphs before him; the names are not important.
• 02:51 But they are Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman.
• 02:55 They were the lieutenants who would march into battle with Mohammad.
• 02:59 They were his close confidants.
• 03:01 The 4th Caliph Ali was actually the flesh and blood
• 03:05 of the prophet Mohammad, the so-called prophet.
• 03:08 And so Ali who was a cousin of Mohammad, he was the son of Abu Talib.
• 03:15 This is very important.
• 03:16 Abu Talib was the uncle who raised Mohammed who was an orphan.
• 03:20 So Ali and Mohammed were actually like brothers.
• 03:23 And Ali marries the daughter, Fatimah, of the prophet Mohammed.
• 03:29 And they start a dynasty.
• 03:33 You've heard of the name Hussein, like Mubarak Hussein Obama.
• 03:38 Hussein is a Muslim name.
• 03:39 It's one of the sons of Ali and Fatimah, the grandchildren of Mohammed.
• 03:43 Hussein, these are all children, and many others,
• 03:46 and they formed the dynasty
• 03:49 and so the followers of the flesh and blood dynasty
• 03:52 decided to wipe out the followers of the first 3 caliphs.
• 03:55 And that's how it started.
• 03:57 This is a key.
• 03:58 Mohammed before his death had a dream.
• 04:01 And his dream was that there would be two camps in Islam
• 04:04 and that only one was going to heaven.
• 04:07 But he didn't know how all of it was going to come out.
• 04:10 So if you think that the followers of the first 3 caliphs
• 04:13 are going to allow the followers of the fourth caliphate
• 04:15 to chop their heads off, a civil war started.
• 04:18 That civil war has been going on for 1400 years.
• 04:21 The Sunni's today who are the followers of the first 3 caliphs
• 04:24 are about 85% of the Islamic world.
• 04:27 Right
• 04:28 The Shiites are about 15%.
• 04:30 But the Shiites are 50-50 with the Sunni's in the Gulf,
• 04:35 the Persian Gulf where the Oil is.
• 04:38 Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon
• 04:40 and of course, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi;
• 04:43 so this is a perfect storm.
• 04:54 It is a rainy day in Jericho.
• 04:57 Jericho - you may know it from the Bible as the place
• 05:00 that the Israelites crossed over and conquered immediately.
• 05:03 Which is why Yasser Arafat demanded that Jericho
• 05:07 be given to the Palestinian Liberation Organization
• 05:10 as his first place of headquarters
• 05:13 in order to rewrite the current history
• 05:17 and to try to undo the facts of the history of the Bible.
• 05:21 Something poignant about being here on a gloomy day
• 05:25 because I'm thinking about 9/11 2001
• 05:29 when President George Bush said
• 05:31 that Islam was a religion of peace
• 05:34 and set in motion a politically correct dynamic that we're dealing with today
• 05:40 where we're still struggling to call things as they are.
• 05:44 To call good evil and evil good
• 05:46 and in fact is that the role of Islam in history
• 05:50 has always been that of a conquering ideology
• 05:55 that has taken over lands and peoples
• 05:58 and subjected them as second class citizens
• 06:01 who either can pay taxes, convert, leave or die.
• 06:05 And we're seeing that arise all over the world right now
• 06:08 especially in this part of the world in the Middle East
• 06:11 Think about this, the credo of the stronger horses
• 06:15 that the Islam people are looking to
• 06:17 meaning ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah
• 06:21 the leadership that is being funded mostly by Iran
• 06:25 but some from other places as well.
• 06:28 They believe Allah is our objective,
• 06:31 the prophet Mohammed our leader,
• 06:33 the Quran is our law,
• 06:35 Jihad is our way
• 06:37 and the greatest thing we can do is die.
• 06:40 Dying is our highest hope in the cause of Jihad.
• 06:44 That is not a religion of peace.
• 06:47 I pray for the arising of the moderate Muslims to stand against the current Jihad.
• 06:53 But it's very few and far between.
• 06:55 It's been interesting this past year
• 06:57 to see Jordan rise up,
• 06:59 to see Egypt rise up,
• 07:01 even Saudi Arabia behind the scenes with Israel
• 07:03 as they're making new alliances recognizing the barbarism
• 07:07 that's coming out of this ideology that insists that it's their way or no way.
• 07:14 One of the main tenets of Islam is that Allah is God and he has no son.
• 07:21 And that is a different Gospel
• 07:23 no matter how you look at it.
• 07:25 No question that John 3:16 says
• 07:34 And no question from Proverbs 30:4
• 07:41 There's no question about the trinity,
• 07:43 the reality of what we understand as believers in Yeshua.
• 07:48 And it does not do us any good to misinterpret
• 07:52 that cry that goes out when people are being slaughtered,
• 07:56 "Allahu Akbar"
• 07:58 It is not that Allah is "great", God is "great",
• 08:01 it is that he is "greater" than the Gods
• 08:04 that are being served by those who are being slaughtered.
• 08:07 So today we're here outside of a major mosque
• 08:11 in a major city to bring the warning about Jihad
• 08:15 to call you to prayer,
• 08:17 to call you to stand with Israel
• 08:19 with western civilization
• 08:21 with the persecuted church around the world.
• 08:23 This is that hour we need to recognize where we are in time
• 08:26 as we look to the hope of His coming.
• 08:36 Do you wonder about your future as a believer in the Messiah?
• 08:40 Our Founder, Zola Levitt wrote a booklet
• 08:43 that tells us what lies ahead,
• 08:45 "Glory, The Future of the Believers"
• 08:48 Inside Zola explains...

• 09:38 I heard a painfully ironic statement
• 09:41 that Jewish and Christian martyrs say
• 09:44 I will die for what I believe
• 09:47 and Muslim martyrs will say
• 09:50 you will die for what I believe.
• 09:53 And that is the ironic and very clear difference
• 09:56 between a conquering ideology in the form of a religion
• 10:00 and those religions that try to serve humanity.
• 10:04 Judaism, Christianity try to serve the greater good.
• 10:08 And this intense Jihadist work
• 10:13 is spreading throughout the world
• 10:16 trying to take over every land and people group.
• 10:20 It's been sort of a rote understanding
• 10:23 that this is a religion of monotheism
• 10:26 and there's the same name Allah, Jehovah,
• 10:29 Allah and our God are exactly the same.
• 10:31 But that is not true.
• 10:33 The name Allah comes from one of the many
• 10:35 gods that was worshipped in the desert.
• 10:37 He used the name of the moon god.
• 10:38 In fact, the crescent and the star
• 10:40 that you see throughout the symbolism of Islam
• 10:43 has a great connection to the Baal worship of history,
• 10:48 to the worship of the mother-son cult
• 10:50 to the worship of that which is not of Jehovah,
• 10:55 the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 10:57 They are different.
• 10:59 Allah is not the same as Jehovah.
• 11:01 Now, in colloquial language, the average person,
• 11:04 may say in Arabic "Allah" to mean God
• 11:07 and mean it somewhat innocently.
• 11:09 But you look at the character, the purpose and the writings
• 11:11 related to those two personages,
• 11:14 they are very different.
• 11:19 Some people believe that the god of Islam
• 11:22 is the same as the God of Israel.
• 11:25 Could you just give us a brief explanation of the
• 11:28 difference between Allah and Jehovah?
• 11:29 Yeah, and this is an issue that's actually got
• 11:32 a name these days called "Chrislam".
• 11:34 Christianity and Islam is trying to find
• 11:37 common ground and connect at the hip.
• 11:39 And it's like trying to mix oil with water
• 11:41 and putting a square peg into a round hole.
• 11:43 It just won't fit.
• 11:46 ...Allah is God and Mohammed is his prophet,
• 11:51 the number one tenet of their five pillars of faith.
• 11:53 And they believe that Jesus, generally speaking is a prophet.
• 11:58 They believe in Jesus, they call him "Isa"
• 12:00 but only as a prophet, not as the Son of God.
• 12:03 Allah has no sons, it says in the Quran.
• 12:05 Very important.
• 12:07 It also says that they deny the Trinity in the Quran
• 12:10 saying no Trinity, Allah has no son.
• 12:13 There's no Holy Spirit involved in that.
• 12:16 Surah 551 I believe it is, says,
• 12:18 "Take no Jew or a Christian as a friend."
• 12:20 "They are friends of each other."
• 12:22 "Allah does not bless the unjust."
• 12:24 So when you really dig into the core essentials of Islam
• 12:27 it is anti-Judeo Christian.
• 12:30 And it is not the same God.
• 12:32 The God of the Jews, the God of the Christians is Jehovah.
• 12:36 This is clearly Allah.
• 12:38 And that's just a summary of the difference.
• 12:40 That's great.
• 12:41 I think that we need to remind people of that
• 12:43 because we are fed so much disinformation
• 12:45 in order to smooth over and have an ecumenical view of life and feel good,
• 12:50 we sometimes avoid the facts.
• 12:52 And the fact is that the Quran is a Globalist ideology
• 12:56 whose main thrust is to dominate the planet.
• 13:00 That's it, they want to subrogate the planet to Allah.
• 13:02 That's their goal.
• 13:04 They'll do it peacefully if they can.
• 13:05 But they'll do it by force if they have to.
• 13:07 And that's the danger.
• 13:09 The issue is that the Jihadist
• 13:10 are simply true believers of Islam.
• 13:12 Thank you.
• 13:13 They are committed to establishing the Caliphate
• 13:16 which is the establishment of Islam Globally.
• 13:18 They mean exactly what they say.
• 13:21 But I think in the west there's a disconnect.
• 13:23 You know the human mind sometimes can't handle existential threats.
• 13:27 And I think that explains in part
• 13:30 why too many political leaders in the west
• 13:33 don't seem to step up to the plate
• 13:35 in opposing this Jihadist mentality.
• 13:38 There's a tendency to want to say,
• 13:41 well it's not as bad as it appears,
• 13:44 when in fact, it is and probably worse.
• 13:48 The buzz word "Chrislam"
• 13:49 Right.
• 13:51 We know that there's been lot's of
• 13:53 controversy in both directions about that.
• 13:54 And some of it's been inflated.
• 13:56 The controversy's been overblown
• 13:58 But how serious...
• 14:00 I understand that it's part of
• 14:02 the context that you're bringing
• 14:03 Right, right.
• 14:04 But how serious of a directive movement is that right now?
• 14:07 I'll put it a different way.
• 14:10 I have a Mennonite background.
• 14:12 Even within the Mennonite community
• 14:14 which has been considered largely a conservative,
• 14:16 theologically sound movement over the generations
• 14:21 has shifted to the point of saying,
• 14:24 Oh, well Allah as the name of God
• 14:28 must be the same God as the God we serve.
• 14:30 And so there's literally hand holding.
• 14:32 And one example is one particular Mennonite organization
• 14:35 works extensively with the Khomeini Institute in Iran
• 14:39 which was Ahmadinejad's hard line Islamic clerical institute.
• 14:43 And they engage in peace studies together
• 14:46 and exchanges of professors and academics.
• 14:51 And they hold joint conferences together,
• 14:53 have been doing so for a number of years.
• 14:55 Yes.
• 14:56 So there is a real sense here of Christians,
• 14:59 even what we would consider conservative Christians
• 15:02 already embracing some of these ideas
• 15:05 and causing a lot of division,
• 15:06 it causes a lot of conflict.
• 15:08 Even at the grassroots level because now I'm talking to people who are going,
• 15:12 You know, I thought Jesus was the only way.
• 15:14 Well Jesus is the only way.
• 15:16 Period.
• 15:22 Allah is about submission,
• 15:26 conquering, and the house of war
• 15:28 which is everyone who doesn't believe.
• 15:30 And the house of peace
• 15:31 which is Islam only.
• 15:33 Jehovah is about the Bride, the Son,
• 15:36 the ability and desire that none should perish
• 15:39 but all should come to everlasting life.
• 15:42 In Exodus 3:15 God says through Moses,
• 15:52 Why is there so much contention on the Temple Mount?
• 15:54 Why is there such a desire to keep Islam there in such strength?
• 15:58 Because it is God's place.
• 16:01 You know, the Name Jehovah is mentioned 9,000 times in the Bible.
• 16:05 It is not mentioned once in the Quran.
• 16:07 We're talking about two different personages.
• 16:09 Remember...when you think of the God of Israel
• 16:13 think about the God of love, the God of life,
• 16:16 the God of Light,
• 16:17 the One who is reaching out
• 16:19 leaving the 99 to find one lost sheep.
• 16:22 Coming for the sheep of the House of Israel
• 16:24 and also opening the Gospel to the entire world
• 16:27 including our Muslim friends.
• 16:29 They are welcome to come into the Light that is Jesus Christ.
• 16:34 And that is our hope.
• 16:36 Coming to you from Jericho, our hope is in Yeshua .
• 16:46 Hi, you know a good question
• 16:48 to ask yourself might be
• 16:49 Where else can you find solid Bible teaching
• 16:51 regarding prophecy for these last days.
• 16:54 Well Zola Levitt Ministries
• 16:56 has been doing exactly that
• 16:57 for more than 35 years
• 16:59 and will continue
• 17:00 with your support
• 17:02 Your gifts of financial support
• 17:04 is what enables us to do this.
• 17:06 We want to remind you
• 17:07 there's three ways...
• 17:08 Online, through the mail,
• 17:10 or just give us a phone call.
• 17:12 And thank you.
• 17:16 We are so blessed to have so many experts
• 17:19 come on this program and share
• 17:21 their study of the Scripture,
• 17:23 their knowledge of the End Times.
• 17:25 These are wonderful friends of ours.
• 17:26 And we thank you for your gifts of funds
• 17:28 that help us to bring you these interviews.
• 17:30 I's really true.
• 17:31 Especially in this series we've been able to have
• 17:33 a real team of experts to bring to you.
• 17:36 And we're grateful to be able to do that.
• 17:38 Let's go back to my interview with Avi Lipkin.
• 17:41 It was over time, over history
• 17:43 when they would come and they have clashes with the west.
• 17:46 Jefferson invented the marines because of the Muslim pirates.
• 17:50 There's history of this clash forever.
• 17:53 Would they join together, Sunni and Shia to fight them,
• 17:55 or would there be one or the other fighting against western?
• 17:58 I think that the hatred between the Shiites and Sunis
• 18:02 is such a great hatred
• 18:05 and there's no ending to it.
• 18:07 What we see happening in the future,
• 18:09 and the future is now,
• 18:11 is that the international Jihad
• 18:13 is planning for the annihilation of the Jews everywhere in the world...
• 18:16 Yes.
• 18:17 wherever you have Jewish communities,
• 18:18 in the U.S., Canada.
• 18:20 It's all in my six books.
• 18:21 I'm working on my seventh book now.
• 18:23 Wherever you have Jewish communities
• 18:25 the Muslims come to live surrounding them.
• 18:28 The Muslims catalogue who the Jews are.
• 18:30 The Muslims catalogue who the Christians are
• 18:32 who love Israel, love the Jews
• 18:34 and the Messianics, all those other groups that are...
• 18:36 You believe that's happening right now in America?
• 18:38 I have no doubt about it.
• 18:39 In Islam, lying to someone who is not a Muslim is a virtue.
• 18:45 The fact is, that they are an enemy,
• 18:47 they are not worthy of the truth that you hold.
• 18:51 It says in the Quran that Allah is the greatest Deceiver.
• 18:54 And so to mimic that,
• 18:56 especially what they consider the whole...
• 19:01 let's say the world of Islam verses the world of non-Islam.
• 19:06 The WORD of the Sword verses the sword of Islam
• 19:08 is to put you in the position
• 19:10 you're always in Jihad, you're always in war
• 19:12 therefore, you never speak the truth,
• 19:15 even to a fellow Muslim in some cases.
• 19:17 If deceiving promotes a greater agenda
• 19:21 or prevents shame or loss of face which is the highest virtue.
• 19:25 And so this takes place constant.
• 19:28 There's no problem with the facts
• 19:32 because facts are something that is
• 19:34 completely controlled by Islam.
• 19:36 And so if you say something for instance in debates
• 19:39 about Jesus and the Resurrection of Jesus
• 19:42 and we have all these extra biblical accounts
• 19:44 in Rome and other sources.
• 19:46 It doesn't matter...
• 19:48 the Quran says.
• 19:49 So if the Quran says,
• 19:50 that supercedes any other fact on the ground.
• 19:53 I don't think the west fully understands
• 19:56 not only the history of Islam
• 19:59 but also the future and their desire.
• 20:01 Can you speak to our audience about what you see with Islam?
• 20:04 Myles, I've been living in the Islamic world for the last 23 years.
• 20:09 People had better wake up.
• 20:11 Chuck Hagel, the former Secretary of Defense,
• 20:15 and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
• 20:18 they spoke to the issue.
• 20:20 And because that Hagel was fired by the White house.
• 20:22 Yes he was.
• 20:23 This is the most dangerous thing
• 20:25 to happen in all of history
• 20:28 as far as America is concerned.
• 20:30 Islamic State under al-Baghdadi
• 20:34 has a desire to set up a Caliphate, a worldwide kingdom,
• 20:38 calls himself self-appointed Caliph, the spiritual leader.
• 20:42 And the man is brilliant.
• 20:45 Strategy is his number one expertise.
• 20:49 They are capturing Christians in the area where they're in control
• 20:54 They're beheading the adults,
• 20:57 they're burning the children alive.
• 21:00 Anybody that does something as horrific, barbaric as that
• 21:04 you've got to realize it's a force to be dealt with.
• 21:07 And nobody's dealing with it.
• 21:09 Our administration has...
• 21:11 Well, Okay.
• 21:13 We won't even call them radical Islamists.
• 21:15 You've got to name the enemy if you're going to deal with them.
• 21:19 And they're spreading.
• 21:20 RCIA says, Ah, about 30,000 of them.
• 21:23 While the people on the ground here are saying,
• 21:26 maybe 200,000 of them.
• 21:28 So they are expanding, they are taking property.
• 21:31 They're setting up that Caliphate area.
• 21:33 Saudi Arabia is scared to death of them
• 21:36 because they threaten to go into Saudi Arabia
• 21:38 and go to Mecca and Medina.
• 21:40 And then of course, the third most holy site for Islam is Jerusalem.
• 21:43 They want all three of these capitals.
• 21:45 And they're moving.
• 21:47 They're at Israel's northern border.
• 21:49 They're at Israel's southern border.
• 21:50 They're at Israel's eastern border.
• 21:53 They've surrounded Israel.
• 21:55 Israel's so much concerned about it.
• 21:57 In fact, I've never seen Israel so eager
• 21:59 to work along side King Abdullah in Jordan
• 22:02 That's amazing.
• 22:03 because he knows what's going on.
• 22:06 He said, this could be World War III in operation today.
• 22:09 The Prime Minister of Israel said,
• 22:11 we'll come along, we'll join with you,
• 22:13 we'll help you in the fight.
• 22:15 We've got to shut down the Islamic state
• 22:18 and the Islamic radicalism in our world today.
• 22:22 President Obama your policy against Islamic state
• 22:26 has brought us once again to kill an American citizen.
• 22:32 For decades
• 22:34 we have been telling people
• 22:35 about the threat of Jihad
• 22:37 and the arising of a radical, fascist Islamic movement.
• 22:42 In the last few years it seems that it's slowly dawning on the west.
• 22:47 I think about our friends on the Orthodox side.
• 22:49 Avi Lipkin awakening the churches.
• 22:52 And on the Christian side, Walid Shoebat,
• 22:54 a former PLO terrorist himself
• 22:56 saying this is real this is coming, this is happening.
• 23:00 And now there's still some dancing around going on
• 23:03 as people in the west are reluctant to understand
• 23:07 that it is a completely different culture,
• 23:09 completely different paradigm and world view
• 23:12 which from the beginning has been one of a conquering ideology.
• 23:17 Yeah, my heart breaks for the Arab people and for all people
• 23:21 that would come under the subjection of this Islamic threat.
• 23:26 Islam worships the moon god,
• 23:30 whereas we worship the Creator of heaven and earth.
• 23:35 And we have to remember that we do not draw back
• 23:38 but we stand firm and we stand in faith.
• 23:42 I just have to be clear again and again
• 23:44 that these two religions are not the same
• 23:47 Allah is not the same as Jehovah.
• 23:50 Even in the five pillars of Islam it says God has no son.
• 23:56 And in first John 4,
• 24:05 And also in the book of Revelations
• 24:14 Brothers and sisters we are witnessing this today.
• 24:17 We just saw Egyptian brothers give their life for Yeshua as they were beheaded.
• 24:24 And they said, we will not, we will not relent that you are our Messiah and our King.
• 24:31 Yes.
• 24:32 It's so amazing that the leadership in the west
• 24:35 is reluctant to call things as they are,
• 24:38 reluctant to say Islamic extremist, Islamic terror,
• 24:41 reluctant to say that it's Jews being killed in Europe
• 24:44 and it's Christians being killed in the Middle East
• 24:47 but that is what is happening.
• 24:48 Even the beheading.
• 24:50 The beheading comes from the Quran.
• 24:52 And the beheading is spoken of in Revelation isn't it?
• 24:55 Right, right.
• 24:56 So brothers and sisters let us stand fast in faith
