Caption transcript for Roadmap to Armageddon: “Battle of Gog and Magog” (3/10)
- 00:01 ♪♪♪ Caleb Colson: You guys are gonna
- 00:10 learn more about Gog, this ruler, this principality of the north, and his plans to
- 00:14 take over Israel.
- 00:15 Joshua Colson: Persia or Iran has been trying to acquire
- 00:17 nuclear weapons for some time.
- 00:19 They've been threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the
- 00:20 planet for years now.
- 00:22 male announcer: God is trying to prove himself strong to the
- 00:25 Jewish people, that all this conflict is really for one
- 00:28 singular purpose, so that they may know that I am the Lord.
- 00:40 David Hart: We are so glad you've joined us today.
- 00:42 We're at the third stop, actually heading to the third
- 00:45 stop of this roadmap.
- 00:46 What's going on today, guys?
- 00:47 Joshua: The third stop is the battle of Gog and Magog, and we
- 00:51 are looking at prophecy in a chronological order.
- 00:54 If you've ever been unnerved, ever been confused by it, we are
- 00:56 putting it step by step so you'll get it all the way to the
- 00:59 end of time in the battle of Armageddon.
- 01:01 Caleb: That's right, this is a topic of much discussion today,
- 01:04 because Bible readers look at the news headlines and they see
- 01:06 wars in these nations coming into alignment, and everybody is
- 01:09 talking about Psalm 83, Gog and Magog, the Ezekiel 38 and 39
- 01:13 war, and they get confused because some people believe this
- 01:16 is the same battle as Armageddon or it occurs at the end of a
- 01:20 millennial reign, and we want to clear up that confusion today.
- 01:23 Kirsten Hart: Which you'll do today, we appreciate that.
- 01:25 David: I believe right now you're heading to Tiberias,
- 01:27 is that right?
- 01:29 Caleb: We start off in Tiberius and we're going to
- 01:30 head north to the border of Syria.
- 01:31 David: Right, let's go there now.
- 01:33 ♪♪♪
- 01:42 Joshua: You know what I don't get?
- 01:43 I get the rapture's gonna happen, millions of people are
- 01:46 gonna disappear, but how does that equal death, destruction,
- 01:49 Gog, Magog, worshiping aliens, people being crazy?
- 01:53 Caleb: The entire landscape of the world is gonna change, and
- 01:57 there's gonna be a void to fill, and Satan's gonna take an
- 01:59 opportunity to fill that void, either placing blame for the
- 02:04 disappearances or taking credit for it.
- 02:06 Joshua: So, all of a sudden we're gonna start worshiping
- 02:08 aliens and Kardashians, and Putin's gonna be in charge
- 02:10 of Magog?
- 02:11 Caleb: Yeah, he did it.
- 02:13 Less than five minutes into the show, he mentions Putin, aliens,
- 02:17 and Kardashians all in one sentence.
- 02:20 I mean, that's gotta offend at least 65% of the
- 02:22 world's population.
- 02:24 Caleb: Honestly, Josh, I wouldn't doubt anything at
- 02:26 this point.
- 02:27 It's possible that demonic entities masquerading as aliens
- 02:30 or progenitors will take credit for the disappearances, and with
- 02:34 Christianity gone, a one-world religion to these demons may
- 02:37 fill that void.
- 02:39 I mean, even today, government powers are declassifying
- 02:42 UFO encounters.
- 02:43 I mean, Satan will do anything when he masquerades as an angel
- 02:46 of light.
- 02:48 Joshua: I have no idea what a progenitor is,
- 02:49 but I think Jeff is calling.
- 02:50 Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.
- 02:52 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: It is a tough assignment today, gentlemen.
- 02:56 It was written throughout the ages on these pages
- 03:00 many years ago.
- 03:01 People talk about spiritual warfare, well, show us what
- 03:04 happens when the spiritual gets material.
- 03:08 We see in Revelation when these spiritual forces take on bodies
- 03:12 and nations collide.
- 03:14 They go after the Hebrews.
- 03:16 It's a tough story to tell.
- 03:18 Go get 'em, gentlemen.
- 03:19 Caleb: You know, Jeff is right.
- 03:21 The Gog and Magog conflict is spiritual just as much as it
- 03:24 is physical.
- 03:25 We gotta learn more about Gog, this ruler, this principality of
- 03:29 the north, and his plans to take over Israel.
- 03:32 Joshua: Well, let's go.
- 03:34 Come on, brother.
- 03:35 We gotta stop Gog, and Magog, and Kim, and Jenner, and all
- 03:40 the Dashians.
- 03:43 Joshua: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, time out, time out,
- 03:45 wardrobe change.
- 03:46 We get it, those are not color-changing shirts.
- 03:48 Although if we did, you could get them for the donation price
- 03:50 of--no, here's the deal, 18 episodes, two series shot in ten
- 03:54 days that are gonna air over the course of half a year.
- 03:56 Sometimes they told us to put on the wrong shirts.
- 04:00 It wasn't my fault.
- 04:02 ♪♪♪
- 04:18 Joshua: Guys, before we discuss the details of the battle of Gog
- 04:20 and Magog, let's go ahead and address the elephant in
- 04:23 the jeep.
- 04:24 The timing, everybody gets in such a hissy fit about
- 04:27 the timing.
- 04:28 Is it in the middle of the tribulation?
- 04:30 Is it the end of the tribulation?
- 04:31 There's this verse in Revelation, here's the verse.
- 04:32 Revelation 27 and 8, it says, "Now when the thousand years
- 04:36 have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and
- 04:39 will go out and deceive the nations which are in the four
- 04:42 corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together
- 04:45 in battle, whose number is of the sand of the sea."
- 04:48 Caleb: Guys, the top reasons why this battle, which we refer to
- 04:53 as the final battle, is not the same as Gog and Magog, first of
- 04:57 all, you can read the term Gog and Magog many places in the
- 04:59 Bible, and just like Jerusalem, it doesn't mean it's always
- 05:02 referring to the same situation or thing.
- 05:04 Number one, the participants in that final battle is the entire
- 05:07 world, whereas Gog and Magog is more localized contenders,
- 05:11 you know.
- 05:12 Second, Gog's motivation is quite different.
- 05:16 You know, it's pretty much greed, whereas Satan's
- 05:18 motivation is rebellion against Yeshua.
- 05:21 He wants to rule, he wants the throne.
- 05:23 But third, I say the conclusions are vastly different, Josh.
- 05:26 You know, the final battle ends as God shoots out fire from the
- 05:31 throne, incinerates the entire army and the whole earth, as 2
- 05:36 Peter 3:6-7 states, I mean, the whole earth is destroyed
- 05:39 by fire.
- 05:40 But the conclusion of Gog and Magog is quite different.
- 05:43 You get sulfur, and hailstones, and great earthquakes, "Every
- 05:46 man's sword against his brother," and the earth
- 05:49 survives though.
- 05:51 Ezekiel 39:9 says we have seven years to burn the weapons of war
- 05:57 after the conclusion of the battle, and Ezekiel 39:12-16
- 06:01 says it takes seven months to mark out the dead bodies in the
- 06:05 valley of Hamon-gog.
- 06:07 So, this is where I kind of get that conclusion that Gog and
- 06:11 Magog cannot occur in the middle of the tribulation, because you
- 06:14 need those seven years, and Messiah always rejuvenates the
- 06:18 world after the end of the tribulation.
- 06:20 At the end of a millennial reign, the whole world ends, so
- 06:23 it can't be the end of the millennial reign, but it's not
- 06:26 by accident that it's seven years to burn the weapons
- 06:30 of war, and it's a seven year tribulation.
- 06:32 Thus, I believe it occurs before the tribulation.
- 06:36 Joshua: That makes sense to me, brother.
- 06:38 Here we are.
- 06:41 male announcer: Ezekiel 38:1-6, "Now the word of the Lord came
- 06:45 to me saying, 'Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the
- 06:49 land of Magog, and say, 'Thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I am
- 06:55 against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
- 07:00 I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and lead you
- 07:03 out with all of your armies, horses, and horsemen, all
- 07:07 splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and
- 07:10 shields, all of them handling swords.
- 07:12 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with
- 07:16 shield and helmet, Gomer and all its troops, the house of
- 07:21 Togarmah from the far north, all its troops, many people are
- 07:25 with you.'"
- 07:29 Joshua: Here we are in the Golan Heights, a point of contention
- 07:33 in times past.
- 07:34 We know that Syria attacked during the Yom Kippur War in
- 07:38 1973 with a coalition.
- 07:42 Interestingly enough, this prince Gog, this spiritual
- 07:45 principality, like the Prince of Persia, will attack with the
- 07:49 nations, a coalition against Israel.
- 07:52 Caleb: That's true, in that Scripture that we just read,
- 07:54 those nations are unknown to today, but if you take their
- 07:57 modern day equivalent, you get Russia, you get Iran, you get
- 08:01 Turkey, you get Tunisia, you get Morocco, you get Libya, you get
- 08:06 all the Stans, Uzbekistan, Tunekistan, I can't even say all
- 08:10 the Stans.
- 08:12 Joshua: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, guys, none of
- 08:16 those Stans are real, FYI.
- 08:19 Caleb: But what matters is these are the nations that immediately
- 08:23 surround the Psalm 83 coalition nations, and since those nations
- 08:26 are subdued, they can very easily pass through on their way
- 08:30 to invade Israel.
- 08:32 Joshua: It was bad.
- 08:33 Caleb: Very bad.
- 08:35 male announcer: Ezekiel 38:8-9 says, "In the latter years you
- 08:39 will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and
- 08:42 gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel which had
- 08:45 long been desolate.
- 08:46 They were brought out of nations, and now all of them
- 08:49 dwell safely.
- 08:50 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like
- 08:53 a cloud.
- 08:54 You and all your troops and many peoples with you."
- 08:59 Caleb: Woah, look at that view, I think I can see Damascus
- 09:02 from here.
- 09:03 I think I see Mount Everest from here.
- 09:09 Guys, Russia has been carving a clear path to Israel for the
- 09:15 last few decades, and to the Black Sea.
- 09:17 Necessary prophetic establishment to get to Israel
- 09:20 for these wars.
- 09:21 You know, back in 2008, they had a hostile takeover of Georgia,
- 09:25 in 2014, Crimea, and then in 2022, you all know about that
- 09:31 Ukraine conflict that's currently going on, hopefully
- 09:34 it'll end soon, but all of this is so they can get through Syria
- 09:38 to reach the mountains of Israel.
- 09:39 We believe Damascus is gonna be wiped out before that because of
- 09:42 Isaiah chapter 17, in a single night, possibly
- 09:45 nuclear-warhead style.
- 09:47 Joshua: We're taken out.
- 09:49 Caleb: From this vantage point, we'd have the best view of
- 09:52 a mushroom cloud when Damascus gets hit.
- 09:56 I wonder about the fallout.
- 10:00 Joshua: You're probably asking yourself why is Gog marching in
- 10:03 on foot instead of just launching nukes?
- 10:06 Ask yourself, they probably just saw Damascus destroyed when
- 10:09 Israel had to flex its muscle with the Samson option, and
- 10:12 literally blow them up in one night, so I ask you, what would
- 10:15 you do at that point?
- 10:16 Caleb: I wouldn't, you know, Syria is right there, guys, and
- 10:20 Damascus, 40 miles from here.
- 10:22 This, according to Scriptures, is where all takes place.
- 10:25 This is where the battleground is for Gog and Magog.
- 10:30 Caleb: Now, Josh, I remember you critiquing my love for dinosaurs
- 10:34 saying that there were no Jewish dinosaurs.
- 10:36 Joshua: And yeah, it is nerds, there were no Jewish dinosaurs
- 10:39 in the Bible.
- 10:40 I don't even know why we're doing a show on this.
- 10:42 Caleb: Here we are in Israel on Mount Bental, and there's
- 10:44 a dinosaur.
- 10:45 Joshua: Clearly a Jewish iguana, it is not a Jewish dinosaur.
- 10:49 That artist had poor scale.
- 10:51 Caleb: Totally dinosaurs.
- 10:53 Joshua: They meant for it to be three feet tall, dang it.
- 10:57 Joshua: Okay, sure, fine, yeah, I get it, dinosaurs in Israel.
- 11:00 Let me ask you this, if there are, then why is the IDF not
- 11:03 riding T-Rexes into battle?
- 11:10 male announcer: Ezekiel 38:10-12, "Thus says the Lord
- 11:13 God, 'On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise
- 11:17 in your mind, and you will make an evil plan.
- 11:21 You will say, 'I will go up against a land of
- 11:23 unwalled villages.
- 11:25 I will go to a peaceful people who dwell safely to take plunder
- 11:28 and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste
- 11:32 places that are again inhabited and against a people gathered
- 11:36 from the nations who have acquired livestock and goods,
- 11:40 who dwell in the midst of the land.'"
- 11:43 Caleb: What is prince Gog's motivation in all this?
- 11:46 We mentioned greed earlier.
- 11:48 He sees this prosperous nation, Israel, recovered from war,
- 11:52 a land of unwalled villages.
- 11:54 People say that can't happen in Israel today because they have a
- 11:56 wall separating them from the Gaza Strip on the West Bank, but
- 11:59 that is a separation boundary of nations and territories, so it
- 12:02 doesn't have to be a prerequisite for Gog to happen
- 12:05 right now.
- 12:07 Joshua: Noting Israel has something that prince Gog wants,
- 12:10 and as everything starts to align, one of the possibilities
- 12:13 is that it may be oil.
- 12:14 Now, Deuteronomy 33:24 says, "Asher is most blessed of sons.
- 12:19 Let him be favored by his brothers, and let him dip his
- 12:21 foot in oil."
- 12:23 Now, some people have taken this to mean that Israel is going to
- 12:25 strike oil soon in a big way, creating wealth and prosperity
- 12:28 that makes them a key player on the world stage.
- 12:32 Caleb: Another option is natural gas.
- 12:34 Revealed during the Russian-Ukraine conflict is that
- 12:37 Russia holds a monopoly in supplying the European Union
- 12:40 with 40% of their natural gas, 30% of their oil, they have
- 12:44 pipelines that run through Belarus and Ukraine that supply
- 12:47 most of northern Europe, and Europe is currently going
- 12:50 through an energy crisis with their refusal to mine fossil
- 12:53 fuels in order to have this perfect environmentalism utopia.
- 12:57 But the interesting thing is currently Russia is planning the
- 13:01 Tesla pipeline that they are in cahoots with Turkey, another
- 13:06 player, to create a pipeline that then goes to Greece and
- 13:09 hold the monopoly on all southern Europe.
- 13:11 But then something big happened, Israel struck natural gas on the
- 13:16 Mediterranean coast, and they have been very generous with
- 13:19 wanting to supply that natural gas to people all around them.
- 13:22 Joshua: This is the huge difference here, because Israel
- 13:24 immediately begins the plans for the EastMed Pipeline, where
- 13:27 they're going to take natural gas from Israel, to Cyprus, to
- 13:30 Greece, providing it for all of Europe by 2025.
- 13:33 Well, what does this do?
- 13:34 It spawns immediate retaliation by Russia and its cohort,
- 13:37 Turkey, and in fact, on one occasion, Turkey sends out ships
- 13:40 to create a blockade to try to stop this from happening.
- 13:42 A little different, everybody else over here trying to charge,
- 13:45 Israel is trying to help the world.
- 13:47 Caleb: Because Russia deems money, power, resources as the
- 13:50 most important thing, and they'll do anything to control
- 13:53 monopoly on energy resources.
- 13:55 Joshua: Know that they play to win over there in Russia.
- 13:58 Joshua: Don't worry, Russia never have very small men,
- 14:01 all very strong, very big man, lots of riding T-rex rex.
- 14:05 We are top number one.
- 14:06 That's just the thing they do.
- 14:09 male announcer: Ezekiel 38:16, "You will come up against my
- 14:13 people, Israel, like a cloud to cover the land.
- 14:16 It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against my
- 14:18 land, so that the nations may know me when I am hallowed in
- 14:22 you, O Gog, before their eyes."
- 14:25 Joshua: Indeed, war is looming on the world stage.
- 14:28 Turkey is about to make their presence known in a big way.
- 14:30 We're going to talk about that next week.
- 14:32 Persia, or Iran, has been trying to acquire nuclear weapons
- 14:35 for some time.
- 14:36 They've been threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the
- 14:38 planet for years now.
- 14:40 They use their vassals, Syria, Lebanon, Hamas, even today to
- 14:43 attack Israel.
- 14:44 Caleb: That's right, guys, and Russia is always trying to show
- 14:46 their strength and dominance.
- 14:49 Joshua: That's funny, yeah, I guess Ivan Drago was really
- 14:52 small in Rocky IV, always the display of strength on the
- 14:56 inside, Russia.
- 14:58 Freudian's best friend, literally, that's why Sigmund
- 15:01 Freud was so famous, Russians.
- 15:04 Caleb: It is very interesting in Ezekiel 38:4, it says that Gog
- 15:08 is kind of drug into the conflict with a hook in his
- 15:11 mouth, and it's not that he doesn't want the power and
- 15:14 dominance, it's not ideological for him.
- 15:16 You know that currently for Islam, they want to dominate,
- 15:19 they want to control.
- 15:21 It's all about the religion, but not for Gog, he wants
- 15:23 the resources.
- 15:24 And it's interesting that I would say right now it says 12%
- 15:29 of the Russian population adheres to Islam, but 10% is in
- 15:34 the military, so that may be kind of in effect at pulling Gog
- 15:37 along to get into this conflict.
- 15:39 Joshua: But at that point, it's going to be God, not the IDF,
- 15:43 that saves the day.
- 15:44 He's going to come in with an earthquake, and hailstones, and
- 15:48 brimstone, and everything, flooding rain, all of the things
- 15:53 to take care of the situation.
- 15:55 We read here in Ezekiel 39:2, "And I will turn thee back, and
- 15:59 leave, but the sixth part of thee."
- 16:01 Only one-sixth of the enemy is gonna survive.
- 16:04 God sends down judgment of the land of Gog and Magog, Russia.
- 16:08 Ezekiel 39:6 says, "And I will send down fire on Magog and
- 16:11 those who live in the security in the coastlands.
- 16:14 Then they shall know that I am Lord."
- 16:16 Caleb: Wow, that's a big burn and destruction, but all this
- 16:20 conflict is really for one singular purpose, so that they
- 16:24 may know that I am the Lord.
- 16:26 God is trying to prove himself strong to the Jewish people, and
- 16:30 he uses this conflict as a catalyst for a national revival
- 16:35 of all the people of Israel to believe on the God of Abraham,
- 16:38 Isaac, and Jacob.
- 16:42 male announcer: Ezekiel 39:21-22, "I will set my glory
- 16:46 among the nations.
- 16:47 All the nations shall see my judgment which I have executed,
- 16:51 and my hand which I have laid on them.
- 16:53 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their
- 16:57 God from that day forward."
- 17:02 Joshua: "From that day forward."
- 17:04 What does that mean?
- 17:05 What is it gonna take today to unite the Jewish people under
- 17:09 one religion?
- 17:10 For them to believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
- 17:13 Now, you may think that all Jewish people believe in Elohim,
- 17:16 but they don't.
- 17:17 You have secular Jews, Atheist Jews, Buddhist Jews, Hinjews,
- 17:20 those are Hindus that believe.
- 17:23 Well, here's the deal, the catalyst for the 12 tribes
- 17:26 returning was the holocaust, and the supernatural intervention of
- 17:30 Gog and Magog is gonna be the catalysts that bring all Jews
- 17:34 believing in one God and show the people of this world that
- 17:37 God backs his people of Israel.
- 17:40 Brother, you in there?
- 17:43 Caleb: It's totally cool in there, but you're absolutely
- 17:45 right, Josh.
- 17:47 It's absolutely necessary for the national revival of Judaism
- 17:50 in order to bring about the construction of a third temple.
- 17:54 You know, these nations that are crippled will have to sign a
- 17:57 peace treaty between Israel which will begin construction of
- 18:00 a third temple, and guess who the broker is gonna be of this
- 18:03 peace treaty?
- 18:05 None other than the beast himself, aka, the Antichrist.
- 18:08 I know last week, guys, we spoke about the seven feasts, and the
- 18:12 prophetic fulfillment, and how this relates to the end times.
- 18:15 We know that the Feast of Trumpets is fulfilled with the
- 18:18 rapture, Rosh Hashanah, and Rosh Hashanah is a hard time for the
- 18:22 Jewish people.
- 18:23 It's a day that they afflict their souls, they mourn, they
- 18:27 try to get God to get their names written in the Book of
- 18:29 Life for another year, and from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur is
- 18:33 ten days.
- 18:34 Those are called the ten days of awe, and I believe that the
- 18:38 battle of Gog and Magog occurs during these ten days of awe,
- 18:41 and the conclusion is Yom Kippur.
- 18:45 Thus, the tribulation must begin, Josh, on Yom Kippur,
- 18:49 and end on Yom Kippur.
- 18:52 ♪♪♪
- 19:02 ♪♪♪
- 19:13 Caleb: You may ask why doesn't America come to Israel's aid
- 19:16 during the battle of Gog and Magog?
- 19:18 You know, it's already written in Scripture whether we are
- 19:20 involved in that battle or not, and we absolutely aren't.
- 19:24 Well, why is that?
- 19:25 You know, I believe America is crippled at this point in
- 19:27 history, whether by the rapture or an assault from, you know,
- 19:31 a well-placed--
- 19:33 from Iran or Russia, but we are not really written into Bible
- 19:37 prophecy, unless you read all nations or every people

- 19:42 We're not there.
- 19:43 No young lions of Tarshish, you know, no eagles wings, we're
- 19:46 not there, guys.
- 19:47 Joshua: What it boils down to is it is time to repent.
- 19:51 Don't wait until the atrocities and the horrors of what's going
- 19:55 to happen in that time period.
- 19:57 The Father wants you to be spared, and the only way that
- 20:00 that can happen is for you to repent and accept Yeshua as
- 20:03 the Messiah.
- 20:05 Today is the day, escape the tribulation and everything that
- 20:08 will be poured out there, believe now.

- 20:26 Joshua: In speculating about the impending timeline of Gog and
- 20:29 Magog one day, we often look to the most visceral enemy of
- 20:32 Israel, which is Iran, but we don't often stop to look at the
- 20:36 good that is happening in this country as well.
- 20:39 Caleb: That's true, Dr. Hormoz Shariat of Iran Alive Ministries
- 20:43 has long heralded the amazing power of God that is outpouring
- 20:47 in that small country.
- 20:49 God is doing wonders with the people of Iran and we want to
- 20:51 tell you the good news about it now.
- 20:55 Dr. Hormoz Shariat: Jewish brothers and Muslim background
- 20:57 believers sitting together, that's prophetic, that's what
- 21:02 the Bible says.
- 21:03 Why I say it's prophetic, because you look in the Bible,
- 21:05 and the past of Iran and Israel are tied together.
- 21:08 You read that in the Old Testament with Iran and Cyrus
- 21:13 setting the captives free.
- 21:14 But the future also, when the Bible says I will set my throne
- 21:19 in Jerusalem, but also in Ilam, which is completely inside the
- 21:25 land of Iran in Jeremiah 49.
- 21:27 So, what does it mean when he says I will set my throne in
- 21:30 two places?
- 21:31 It means I'm gonna--this is the end time.
- 21:33 Iran and Israel will work together for the salvation of
- 21:36 the world.
- 21:38 That's what I see.
- 21:39 Caleb: Well, that's interesting because Satan is using Iran
- 21:42 right now to be a thorn in Israel's side.
- 21:44 It's almost putting a target on his back, because God's gonna
- 21:48 have to judge the nation that curses Israel, we know that.
- 21:50 He will bless those who blesses the Jewish people, he will curse
- 21:53 those who curse it.
- 21:54 It's just the government we hear that hates the Jewish people.
- 21:57 You said that the people of Iran don't have that animosity toward
- 22:02 the Jewish people, is that correct?
- 22:03 Dr. Hormoz Shariat: That's correct, are you ready to
- 22:05 be shocked?
- 22:06 Yes, okay, Iranians love Americans, they love the
- 22:12 Jewish people.
- 22:13 It's gone, the hatred that Islam imported into Iran and the
- 22:18 government of Iran, the Islamic government of Iran is still
- 22:21 holding on to that, but I talked to the people.
- 22:24 You know, we have a 24/7 satellite broadcast, hundreds of
- 22:27 people contact us every day.
- 22:29 We know what people think.
- 22:31 They don't hate Israel.
- 22:33 Actually, you see these rallies, they are saying people
- 22:39 protesting on the streets, they are saying why should we
- 22:43 hate Israel?
- 22:45 They haven't done nothing to us.
- 22:48 You, the clergy, you're the ones who have made our
- 22:51 lives miserable.
- 22:52 We hate you, not them.
- 22:54 And another point is that there's such a disconnect
- 22:57 between the government of Iran and the people of Iran.
- 22:59 When the government says death to Israel, the people say they
- 23:03 must be good people.
- 23:04 [all laughing]
- 23:06 Caleb: They know there's something wrong here.
- 23:09 Kirsten Hart: We're so appreciative for that interview
- 23:11 and the additional insight, you guys have given me insight, and
- 23:16 I'm not tooting my horn, I've been to Bible college, studied
- 23:20 the Bible, and honestly, I never knew that Gog was a prince.
- 23:26 I thought it was the battle of Gog and Magog, like, those are
- 23:30 the northern, these countries, but I never realized that.
- 23:33 And so, I'm appreciative for that, and your teaching,
- 23:37 and that insight.
- 23:38 Caleb: I mean, he's a spiritual principality, a fallen angel, if
- 23:42 you will, and you see with this battle of Gog and Magog, it's
- 23:47 really all there to bring the whole house of Israel to the
- 23:50 knowledge of Yeshua.
- 23:51 Because you have many Jews under the sun right now believing so
- 23:54 many different religions, and they all have to believe in the
- 23:56 God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but Satan will use this
- 24:00 as a catalyst to step in and become the great negotiation,
- 24:03 bringing peace at the conclusion of a battle, even though Yeshua
- 24:06 supernaturally saves him, he's gonna take credit for it.
- 24:09 Kirsten Hart: It's a harsh way, though.
- 24:11 It's not an easy, oh, that's a nice battle, this is,
- 24:14 like, big time.
- 24:15 This is really harsh, especially for the Jewish people.
- 24:18 Joshua: It is very harsh, and we know that the great deceiver is
- 24:20 gonna come on the scene, this Antichrist is going to literally
- 24:24 deceive everybody, and when we look at 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
- 24:28 it says that, "The coming of the lawless one is according to the
- 24:31 working of Satan, with all powers, and signs, and lying
- 24:35 wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among
- 24:38 those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the
- 24:41 truth, that they might be saved.
- 24:43 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, and
- 24:46 they should believe the lie, and they all may be condemned who
- 24:49 did not believe the truth but had pleasure
- 24:52 in unrighteousness."
- 24:54 Caleb: It's interesting, guys, that no Antichrist
- 24:56 would be successful on this earth if we would simply
- 24:57 love the truth and righteousness.
- 24:59 They would fail immediately, but our desire is for sin, and
- 25:03 perversion, and things that are of the world, and that's why
- 25:05 they gain a foothold in our lives.
- 25:07 David: Isn't it easy to lean towards the lies sometimes
- 25:11 for many of us?
- 25:12 Joshua: It can be to give into to the flesh, and that's
- 25:14 why we have to focus on the spirit.
- 25:16 Matthew 24:24 says, "For false christs and false prophets will
- 25:20 rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if it was
- 25:23 possible, even the elect."
- 25:25 The world's gonna be deceived, but thank God Yeshua comes.
- 25:29 He has come to set us free from deception, delusion, we don't
- 25:32 have to live through that.
- 25:33 We can accept him now and receive our salvation before any
- 25:36 of those horrors occur.
- 25:37 Kirsten Hart: And that's why we are on the air.
- 25:40 We hope that this program continues until that day, so
- 25:44 that the good news can go to all the Jewish people, all the
- 25:47 people that need him, need them in their lives.
- 25:50 So, you funding this program make the good news continue,
- 25:55 hopefully even until Gog and Magog days.
- 25:58 David: And also all the places that these guys are teaching at,
- 26:01 we take you on tour.
