- 00:08 ♪♪♪ Joshua Colson: This is it the final steps of the road map
- 00:11 to Armageddon.
- 00:12 Caleb Colson: Armies are preparing for war, guys.
- 00:14 See the beast has a rebellion on his hands.
- 00:17 This is the three kings that we talked about.
- 00:19 They're from Russia, North Africa, and China.
- 00:22 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: This is what the battle of Armageddon is all
- 00:25 about to protect Yerushalayim and whoever holds the seat of
- 00:30 power rules the world.
- 00:40 David Hart: We're so glad you've joined us today.
- 00:41 Now guys, you've taken us to a lot of places on this road map.
- 00:45 Today we've reached it.
- 00:47 Kirsten Hart: It's the road map to Armageddon.
- 00:49 Here we are.
- 00:50 Joshua: Guys, you have no idea how excited this young man is.
- 00:53 This is the final stop.
- 00:54 It's always his favorite stop. It's Armageddon time.
- 00:57 He's super giddy. You should have seen him.
- 00:58 Kirsten: You're giddy about Armageddon?
- 01:00 Joshua: It doesn't make any sense.
- 01:01 I understand. But let's read the Bible here.
- 01:04 Psalm 1--Psalm 2:1 and 2 says, "Why do the nation's rage, and
- 01:07 the people plot a vain thing?
- 01:08 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
- 01:11 counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed."
- 01:14 Caleb: Man, the futility of Satan and his forces to think
- 01:17 they can come against the Anointed One, Yeshua HaMashiach.
- 01:20 That's why I'm ready for all of this to go down.
- 01:22 I wanna see Yeshua show up.
- 01:23 Kirsten: You're ready for the take down.
- 01:25 David: I think passion is the word that
- 01:26 you've got today, right?
- 01:27 Caleb: Too much energy. Too much coffee.
- 01:29 David: That's all right. We take you on location.
- 01:30 Now let's go there.
- 01:34 ♪♪♪
- 01:43 [snoring]. [cell phone ringing].
- 01:49 Joshua: Brother? Where'd brother go?
- 01:54 Where on earth is he at? He's never left like this.
- 01:58 I'm in trouble. [phone ringing]
- 02:01 Here's Jeff's video.
- 02:05 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Armageddon is a place.
- 02:08 There's space in the mind's eye of people.
- 02:11 They know this speaks of the world's end.
- 02:14 A great conflagration at the ragged edge of time.
- 02:18 Gentlemen, off to Megiddo you go and tell us the story about this
- 02:23 battle that rages at the ragged edge of time.
- 02:27 The battle that we know as Armageddon.
- 02:31 Joshua: No wonder I couldn't find him.
- 02:32 It's Armageddon. Yeah, it's Armageddon.
- 02:36 Caleb: Go, go, Armageddon!
- 02:38 Joshua: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see you, Mr Giddy.
- 02:40 All right, let's go.
- 02:42 ♪♪♪
- 02:48 Caleb: Armageddon Day is my favorite day ever.
- 02:51 I mean, I've been waiting for this episode since
- 02:53 the beginning.
- 02:54 Yeshua arrives, defeats the wicked, kicks Satan's butt, and
- 02:58 we get to help.
- 02:59 I mean, I have a long list of fallen angels I've been waiting
- 03:02 to kick in the teeth.
- 03:04 Caleb: Josh, what are we doing?
- 03:06 Joshua: Oh hey, you know, we have been traversing around
- 03:09 Israel and really and truly the only way you can possibly do
- 03:12 that is in a Jeep.
- 03:14 So audience, you're about to be welcomed because we are setting
- 03:18 up all the cameras on the Jeep Rubicon that we call
- 03:20 Armageddon Slayer.
- 03:22 This thing has a snorkel on top and it's good to drive through 6
- 03:25 feet of blood.
- 03:27 So there's nothing to worry about.
- 03:28 We did get the extra insurance.
- 03:30 There's an extra six shekels a day.
- 03:32 This covers everything but a direct beast attack.
- 03:35 So we're pretty excited about these next scenes that we're
- 03:38 about to film.
- 03:42 ♪♪♪
- 03:51 ♪♪♪
- 03:58 Joshua: This is it the final steps of the road map to
- 04:01 Armageddon, guys.
- 04:03 It's been fast, it's been furious, but let me tell you the
- 04:05 finale of this is crazier than all of it.
- 04:08 Revelation 16 takes us out into some pretty crazy
- 04:11 things, brother.
- 04:12 Caleb: It begins the bowls of wrath.
- 04:14 The first bowl of wrath happens to be painful sores cover anyone
- 04:18 in the beast kingdom who has the mark.
- 04:20 Joshua: And that's nothing compared to two.
- 04:21 Number two, the ocean has turned the blood and kill all the sea
- 04:24 creatures including Nemo.
- 04:26 I'm gonna be honest with you.
- 04:27 There's a reason why Dory forgets.
- 04:30 She saw what happened to Nemo.
- 04:32 Her brain couldn't take it.
- 04:34 Not to mention his poor dad. Let's hope he never finds out.
- 04:38 Caleb: Okay, that's pretty gnarly.
- 04:40 But I like number three, is that all the fresh water turns to
- 04:43 blood so that all they can drink is soda pop.
- 04:45 Joshua: Number four though solar flares literally setting people
- 04:48 on fire, worse than global warming could have ever done.
- 04:50 Caleb: Okay, that's really terrible.
- 04:51 How about number five?
- 04:53 Which is darkness covers the whole Beast kingdom.
- 04:55 It's like being suffocated by a blanket, dude.
- 04:57 Joshua: Number six, it kind of steps it up.
- 05:00 Euphrates River dries up 200 million man army crosses to
- 05:03 Israel, three frog demons out of the beast's mouth, and then
- 05:07 seven kings coming in for an attack.
- 05:09 Caleb: Okay, I'd like to up that ante with the grand finale.
- 05:12 The biggest earthquake since the dawn of time, it topples nations
- 05:17 flattens mountains, islands are drowning, and then hailstones
- 05:21 125 pounds are raining down on the kingdom of the Beast and
- 05:25 Babylon the Great is destroyed.
- 05:26 It's fantastic.
- 05:27 Joshua: All right, well, here we are, Megiddo.
- 05:29 Let's go ahead and check it out. Oh yeah.
- 05:42 Revelation 16:16, "Then they gathered the
- 05:45 kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon."
- 05:50 ♪♪♪
- 05:57 Caleb: Tar Megiddo is where we're at.
- 05:59 Tar means mountain in Hebrew.
- 06:02 But this is actually a tell, a manmade mountain of sorts.
- 06:05 Multiple civilizations built on top one or the other.
- 06:09 Archaeologists believe there's 26 layers of ruins to be exact.
- 06:14 Caleb: Upon this hill, 17 ruined Canaanite temples, two stables,
- 06:19 one belonging to King Solomon, one to King Ahab, even
- 06:23 two palaces.
- 06:24 This was known as a royal chariot city and one of the most
- 06:27 strategic locations of the north.
- 06:30 Because from our vantage point, you can see any enemy army
- 06:34 approaching and it lies along the Via Maris, the highway that
- 06:37 went from Africa all the way up to the connecting lane bridge of
- 06:41 Europe and Asia.
- 06:42 Joshua: Most of your pastors have taught to you that the
- 06:44 beast or the Antichrist at this time period.
- 06:46 He's living his best life, guys.
- 06:48 He's out there pillaging, he's killing the Saints, 144,000 over
- 06:52 here, 144 over here.
- 06:54 That's not really what's going on.
- 06:56 Caleb: In all actuality, guys, God makes sure that Satan has
- 06:59 the worst time on the planet when he indwells a beast.
- 07:03 Imagine waiting for this moment your whole life and then
- 07:06 it sucking.
- 07:07 Just wait, Satan, the worst is yet to come.
- 07:11 Joshua: He's facing some things.
- 07:12 He gets assassinated. That's real bad.
- 07:15 He's got all kinds of disease and plagues going through his
- 07:18 camps and through the through the planet.
- 07:20 He's got upheavals happening against him.
- 07:22 So, his domain is much weaker than even Rome of old.
- 07:30 Daniel 11:40, "At the time of the end, the king of the South
- 07:33 shall attack him [the Beast]
- 07:36 and the king of the North shall come against him like a
- 07:38 whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, with many ships; and
- 07:42 he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them and
- 07:45 pass through."
- 07:48 So the beast has a rebellion on his hands, guys.
- 07:51 This is the three kings that we talked about.
- 07:53 They're from Russia, North Africa, and China.
- 07:56 In fact, in Daniel 7:24 it says, "The ten horns are ten kings who
- 08:00 will come up from this kingdom.
- 08:02 After them another king will arise, different from the
- 08:05 earlier ones; he will subdue three kings."
- 08:07 So the Beast goes to Africa, he wipes out Egypt.
- 08:10 He takes all of their treasures but then in Daniel 11:44 and 45
- 08:14 he says, "But the news from the east and the north shall trouble
- 08:17 him; therefore, he shall go out with great fury to destroy and
- 08:21 annihilate many.
- 08:22 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and
- 08:25 the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end..."
- 08:30 Caleb: Wow, armies are preparing for war, guys.
- 08:34 These three kings want the Beast's new seat of
- 08:36 power, Yerushalayim.
- 08:38 And at that moment, Russian ships, an armada is gathering in
- 08:42 the Black Sea and they're about to head down through the
- 08:44 Mediterranean to get that seat of power.
- 08:47 And you know what it's kind prophetic, Josh, that Russia in
- 08:49 modern times took over Georgia and Crimea in the coast of
- 08:52 Ukraine because they need a port to launch those ships to fight
- 08:56 the battle of Armageddon.
- 08:57 Well, the Beast hears about this and he's worried so he gathers
- 09:00 his armies and they camp out right here in the valley of
- 09:03 Jezreel to block off the Russian advance.
- 09:07 And so at this moment, it says it's really weird, the beast and
- 09:10 the false prophet and the dragon, they spit out three frog
- 09:14 demons that gathered the other seven kings to war to fend off
- 09:18 the advance of the 200 million man army from the East, the army
- 09:21 of the North and the king of the South.
- 09:23 We all know this is what the battle of Armageddon is all
- 09:26 about to protect Yerushalayim and whoever holds the seat of
- 09:32 power rules the world.
- 09:34 Joshua: I'm gonna have to look at the frog demons thing.
- 09:36 I missed over that in Sunday school.
- 09:37 Really creepy.
- 09:39 ♪♪♪
- 09:42 Joshua: Hey, Caleb, I see some of your pet millipedes out here.
- 09:47 You wanna roll 'em?
- 09:48 Caleb: I don't like millipedes, they're kind of freaky but
- 09:49 they're not as bad centipedes, which really freaked me out.
- 09:51 Joshua: Well, maybe we can see if they can introduce you to
- 09:53 their cousins.
- 09:54 You wanna roll around and take a little bath in the grass
- 09:56 over here?
- 09:57 Caleb: Look at they're everywhere.
- 09:59 They were all rolled up for most of the day out in the heat and
- 10:01 now they've awakened.
- 10:02 Their time of judgment and plague upon me or the plague is
- 10:06 of millipedes.
- 10:07 I don't remember that description.
- 10:08 Joshua: They're coming for you, brother.
- 10:11 He's afraid of millipedes.
- 10:14 Caleb: Zechariah 12:2 to 3 says, "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a
- 10:18 cup of drunkenness to all surrounding peoples, when they
- 10:21 lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.
- 10:24 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a
- 10:26 very heavy stone for all peoples: all who would heave it
- 10:29 away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of
- 10:32 the earth are gathered against it."
- 10:36 Caleb: As distractions go, the beast really needs one
- 10:38 right now.
- 10:40 You know, this is the end of the line, but he knows God's
- 10:43 calendar timing at the end of the tribulation is day 2520.
- 10:46 When Yeshua will come for him and he will take him and throw
- 10:49 him into that bottomless pit.
- 10:51 That day 2517 may give him a little bit of peace because
- 10:55 that's the date he gets to kill the two witnesses, Enoch,
- 10:57 Enoach, and Eliahu, Elijah.
- 11:01 Caleb: Revelation 11:7, "When the two witnesses finish their
- 11:05 testimony, the beast that ascends out of a bottomless pit
- 11:08 will make war against them, overcome them and kill them."
- 11:11 Joshua: Guys, as any good conqueror does.
- 11:13 What do you do when you kill your enemy, you parade their
- 11:15 bodies around the streets for three and a half days.
- 11:18 And that's what the beast does.
- 11:20 They even form a holiday where they exchange gifts over
- 11:22 this moment.
- 11:24 But Revelation 11:11 says, "Now after the three-and-half days,
- 11:28 the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on
- 11:31 their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them."
- 11:34 Because those two witnesses, they flew off to heaven in front
- 11:38 of a world that was exchanging gifts over the victory of
- 11:41 their death.
- 11:42 And that seventh bowl of wrath, the great earthquake comes, it
- 11:45 kills 7000 in Jerusalem, but it shakes the world.
- 11:48 It begins to cripple cities and what city does it cripple?
- 11:52 It doesn't leave out the head of Babylon.
- 11:54 It cripples.
- 11:55 Caleb: Istanbul, Babylon the Great.
- 11:58 Joshua: Woo, come on, God.
- 12:01 Revelation 18:2, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and
- 12:07 has become a dwelling place of demons.
- 12:09 A prison for every foul spirit and a cage for every unclean and
- 12:13 hated bird!"
- 12:16 Revelation 18:21, "Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a
- 12:19 great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, 'Thus with
- 12:22 violence, the great city Babylon shall be thrown down and shall
- 12:26 not be found anymore.'"
- 12:29 Caleb: The Neo Babylonian empire of old was captured in a single
- 12:33 night by King Cyrus's armies when they dammed up the
- 12:36 Euphrates River and they snuck under the city through the empty
- 12:40 river banks and through aqueducts like the ones
- 12:42 right here.
- 12:44 Joshua: Guys, apparently the great earthquake from the bowl
- 12:46 of wrath, number seven, helped out in the destruction according
- 12:49 to Revelation 16:19, "...the cities of the nation collapsed.
- 12:52 God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with
- 12:56 the wine of the fury of His wrath."
- 12:58 Guys, also it caught on fire.
- 13:00 How else was it gonna catch on fire?
- 13:02 A comet could have hit it.
- 13:03 It could have been Sodom and Gomorrah style.
- 13:05 Caleb: Brimstone.
- 13:06 Joshua: Brimstone of fire, I'm not sure but God took care
- 13:08 of it.
- 13:10 Revelation 18:8 to 10 "And she will be utterly burned with fire
- 13:14 for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
- 13:17 The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived
- 13:20 luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they
- 13:23 see the smoke of her burning...
- 13:25 'For in one hour your judgment has come.'"
- 13:29 I get it, most of you have no perspective for what it means
- 13:32 to lose Babylon the Great.
- 13:33 How about this?
- 13:34 How about you wake up one morning, there's no cat videos
- 13:36 on the internet.
- 13:37 None, that's right.
- 13:39 All the cat videos disappeared.
- 13:40 You have nothing cute to look at.
- 13:41 You have to look at TikTok, watching people do...
- 13:43 [humming]
- 13:46 Yeah, that's how bad it was.
- 13:48 ♪♪♪
- 13:53 Caleb: So it's game time now guys.
- 13:56 The Beast is cornered on all sides.
- 13:58 Joel chapter 1 and 2 describes the 200 million man army to be
- 14:02 like locusts.
- 14:03 They leave a wake of destruction wherever they go, they rush upon
- 14:06 the city, they run upon the wall and it it's sad that the Jewish
- 14:11 remnant is caught in between this,
- 14:13 they're cornered at Jerusalem.
- 14:16 Zechariah 14:2 says, "For I will gather all the nations to battle
- 14:21 against Jerusalem: the city will be taken.
- 14:24 The houses rifled and the women ravished.
- 14:27 Half of the city shall go into captivity but the remnant of the
- 14:31 people shall not be cut off from the city."
- 14:33 Joshua: The Jews are fighting for their very existence on or
- 14:36 near the temple mount.
- 14:38 Zachariah 14:14 says, "Judah also will fight at Jerusalem and
- 14:42 God gives them supernatural strength."
- 14:45 Zechariah 12:89 says, "In that day, the Lord will defend the
- 14:47 inhabitants of Jerusalem, the one who is feeble among them in
- 14:50 that day shall be like David and the house of David shall be like
- 14:54 God, like the angel of the Lord before them.
- 14:56 It shall be in that day that I seek to destroy all the nations
- 15:00 that come against Jerusalem."
- 15:02 The Beast knows what's coming next.
- 15:04 He sends a detachment from his army to Bozrah to take out the
- 15:08 remaining Yeshua loving Jews before you know who shows up.
- 15:12 But it's too late.
- 15:15 Joshua: Revelation 19:11 through 16, "Now I saw heaven opened and
- 15:20 behold, a white horse and He who sat on him was called Faithful
- 15:25 and True and in righteousness, He judges and makes war.
- 15:28 His eyes were like a flame of fire and on His head were
- 15:32 many crowns.
- 15:33 He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
- 15:36 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is
- 15:39 called the Word of God.
- 15:41 And the army is in heaven clothed in fine linen, white and
- 15:44 clean, followed Him on white horses.
- 15:46 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He
- 15:50 should strike the nations.
- 15:51 He himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath
- 15:56 of the Almighty God.
- 15:57 And He has on his robe and on His thigh, a name written: KING
- 16:01 OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
- 16:07 Caleb: Now that's an entrance, guys.
- 16:09 Yeshua shows up in the clouds with all the armies of heaven
- 16:12 and we his bride to defeat the armies of the Beast.
- 16:15 And let's just say that all the infighting amongst the ten kings
- 16:19 stops immediately when they see the one true Messiah.
- 16:22 Revelation 19:19 to 21 says, "And I saw the beast, the kings
- 16:27 of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war
- 16:30 against Him who sat on the horse and against His army."
- 16:34 Joshua: The interesting thing is Yeshua gives us our moment in
- 16:37 the fight.
- 16:38 Before he'll put his foot down on the ground.
- 16:40 He makes a short detour over to Bozrah to defend those saints
- 16:44 who believe in him against the Beast.
- 16:46 Why do you think his robe is already dipped in blood when he
- 16:49 shows up?
- 16:54 Isaiah 34:5 to 8, "For My sword shall be bathed in heaven;
- 16:57 indeed it shall come down on Edom and on the people of my
- 17:00 curse for judgment.
- 17:01 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood.
- 17:03 It is made overflowing with fatness...
- 17:05 For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in
- 17:09 the land of Edom.
- 17:10 For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance..."
- 17:15 It's amazing.
- 17:16 Caleb: You know what this reminds me of, Josh, the valley
- 17:18 on the way back from Bozrah, Yeshua touches down on the Mount
- 17:21 of Olives and it splits in half forming a large valley and a
- 17:25 river of life flows out from under the Temple Mount as it's
- 17:29 described in Zechariah 14.
- 17:31 And then the Jews, they look upon this glorious one.
- 17:35 They don't recognize him at first.
- 17:36 Isaiah 63:1 says, "Who is this coming from Edom and crimson
- 17:41 garments from Bozrah?
- 17:43 This One splendid in His apparel, pressing forward in His
- 17:46 great might."
- 17:47 And then Yeshua replies saying, "It is I who speak in
- 17:50 righteousness, mighty to save."
- 17:53 Joshua: And then the remnants of Israel finally see him.
- 17:55 He's probably walking on water.
- 17:58 It's Yeshua.
- 17:59 Here in Zechariah 12:10, it says, "And I will pour out on
- 18:04 the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
- 18:07 Spirit of grace and supplication.
- 18:09 Then they will look on Me whom they pierced.
- 18:12 Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and
- 18:16 grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn."
- 18:20 Caleb: Hey guys, this is when the Jewish people finally
- 18:23 realized that it's Yeshua.
- 18:25 It's not his first coming. It's his second coming.
- 18:28 They see the holes in his hands and his feet.
- 18:30 And according to Matthew, they cry out, "Baruch haba
- 18:33 b'shem Adonai."
- 18:35 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
- 18:40 And Joel 2:32 says, "And it shall come to pass that whoever
- 18:44 calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
- 18:47 For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, there shall be
- 18:50 deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the
- 18:54 Lord calls."
- 18:59 Joshua: But the story isn't over yet, brother, the Messiah will
- 19:02 make short end of the Beast and his armies.
- 19:05 In fact, in Zechariah 14, it says, "Then the Lord will go
- 19:08 forth and fight against those nations as he fights in the day
- 19:12 of battle."
- 19:13 It's a multi-front attack by the bride, by the angelic forces,
- 19:16 and from the Messiah, Zachariah12:4 says, "'In that
- 19:19 day,' says the Lord, I will strike every horse with
- 19:22 confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open up my eyes
- 19:25 on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the
- 19:28 peoples with blindness."
- 19:30 Caleb: And then some gory imagery courtesy of our Messiah
- 19:33 as Zechariah 14:12 says, "And this shall be the plague with
- 19:37 which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against
- 19:40 Jerusalem; their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on
- 19:43 their feet, their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, and
- 19:47 their tongue shall dissolve in their mouths."
- 19:49 Yeshua, the Messiah, will wipe them all out without even
- 19:53 lifting the finger.
- 19:54 Then Revelation 19:21, "And the rest were killed with the sword
- 19:59 which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse.
- 20:02 And all the birds were filled with their flesh."
- 20:05 Joshua: Guys, all that's left at this point are the carcasses and
- 20:08 of course, the blood.
- 20:10 Revelation 14:20 says, "And the wine press was trampled outside
- 20:14 the city, and blood came out of the wine press, up to the horses
- 20:18 bridles for one thousand six hundred furlongs," for 200
- 20:23 miles, 5 feet deep.
- 20:25 That is the victory that we've been waiting for.
- 20:30 But that judgment, that judgment that the Messiah has every right
- 20:33 to excise against us.
- 20:34 He wants to save every single person from.
- 20:37 You and I have the opportunity to escape that judgment by
- 20:42 allowing his blood to cover over us and to wash us clean from our
- 20:46 sins because he has to do what he has to do.
- 20:49 He simply asks today, don't be amongst those who didn't make
- 20:54 the right choice.

- 21:03 Joshua: Nothing is more exciting than getting to the end of the
- 21:05 story, especially when your team wins until you realize that
- 21:09 while we just studied the end of the story, the story hasn't
- 21:11 yet begun.
- 21:12 And so today, people look at Bible prophecy with so much
- 21:16 emotion, the editorialism of people's opinions, but we don't
- 21:19 need people's opinions.
- 21:21 We need facts and that is laid out in the Bible.
- 21:23 But who greater to search out these facts than an
- 21:26 investigative reporter?
- 21:27 And we get to listen to him talk today.
- 21:29 Caleb: That's right, Bill Koenig, a former White House
- 21:31 news correspondent.
- 21:32 This guy knows his facts and figures, but he also knows
- 21:35 his Bible.
- 21:36 Listen to what he has to say about Bible prophecy.
- 21:40 Bill Koenig: A couple of things that are really important on
- 21:42 September 22nd, Bebe Netanyahu was at the UN and Biden brokered
- 21:49 US-Israeli-Saudi deal was about to be consummated.
- 21:55 There was so much enthusiasm even Bin Salman from the Crown
- 22:00 Prince, Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia was on in US TV, talking
- 22:04 about this special moment of a normalized relations with Israel
- 22:08 and Netanyahu.
- 22:09 This is such a poignant message that we're about ready to move
- 22:14 into a time of great peace in the in Israel with the
- 22:19 Palestinians and in the Middle East.
- 22:22 And that this was a record moment, a record setting moment.
- 22:26 And friends of mine on the inside in Israel were concerned.
- 22:30 What did Netanyahu promise to the Saudis?
- 22:33 Did it have to do with the Temple Mount, sovereignty, and
- 22:36 issues like that?
- 22:37 But it was so prophetic, I believe, because there was a
- 22:41 euphoria in the international community, hearing an Israeli
- 22:46 and Saudi leader talk about this new moment of peace in two weeks
- 22:52 and a day after when you all were in Israel, October 7th
- 22:56 changed things dramatically.
- 22:58 So what Netanyahu was talking about at the UN was completely
- 23:02 different 13, 15 days later.
- 23:06 And so I think that what that does, Joshua, leads us into the
- 23:10 prophetic alignment.
- 23:11 I address this often.
- 23:12 Our American presidents have all, despite, I mean, they're
- 23:16 friends of Israel in many contexts, but their peace
- 23:20 efforts have accelerated final day events and that's what we're
- 23:24 seeing today right before Ezekiel 38 and 39, Jeremiah 49:
- 23:28 34 through 39, that deals with modern day Alam or modern day
- 23:33 Alam, which is Iran.
- 23:35 It's just accelerating prophetic events.
- 23:37 And I think we're right there right now, again.
- 23:40 Joshua: Again.
- 23:42 And the idea that the acceleration is happening by,
- 23:44 like you said, American presidents and whatnot is a very
- 23:46 sobering concept to think as a nation.
- 23:49 It's often asked to us where is America in all of end
- 23:52 time's prophecy?
- 23:53 And I would say that if this kind of stuff keeps on
- 23:55 happening, there might be a reason why we don't see America
- 23:59 in that time period.
- 24:02 David: Finally, Yeshua's grand entrance.
- 24:05 Joshua: Yes, this is what we've been talking about.
- 24:07 Kirsten: This is the good news.
- 24:08 Joshua: This is good news, the victory in Jesus, King of kings
- 24:12 and Lord of lords as Revelation 1:7 says, "Behold, He is coming
- 24:16 with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who
- 24:19 pierced Him.
- 24:20 And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him.
- 24:22 Even so, Amen."
- 24:25 Yeshua is coming and that means victory, victory over death.
- 24:29 Caleb: Guys, it's interesting the word Megiddo, where we get
- 24:31 Harmageddon, Tar Megiddo um comes from the Hebrew
- 24:34 word megid.
- 24:35 It means the telling.
- 24:36 If you've ever been a part of the real Pesach Passover Seder,
- 24:40 the second cup is the cup of telling, the megid.
- 24:43 And it also comes from the root megad which means harvest.
- 24:47 So this is the fulfillment of Yeshua, that last grape harvest,
- 24:51 harvesting, the wicked, blood spilling out into the Armageddon
- 24:56 field up to the horse's bridle.
- 24:57 It's harsh.
- 24:58 Kirsten: Which is so in, I mean, the horse's bridle that's high.
- 25:02 And you're gonna think these heavenly horses are gonna be
- 25:04 ginormous probably.
- 25:05 And it's so interesting because every year when we go on tour,
- 25:08 we are there.
- 25:10 We look at Armageddon, the Valley of Armageddon, and it's
- 25:13 so beautiful.
- 25:14 I mean, it's agriculture everywhere in this
- 25:17 gorgeous place.
- 25:18 You can't even imagine the height of blood.
- 25:22 Now, you don't think that's just in imagery.
- 25:25 Caleb: It's not symbolic.
- 25:26 It's definitely gonna be literal and that's why this message is
- 25:30 so impending, I believe, guys, because the wicked are gonna get
- 25:34 what they deserve.
- 25:35 I mean, obviously, this is justice brought by Yeshua.
- 25:37 He is going to deliver justly, but I still have compassion for
- 25:41 all those lost souls that are gonna go to hell.
- 25:43 John 14:6 says [speaking in Hebrew].
- 25:48 "I am the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the
- 25:52 Father except through me."
- 25:53 That's the only way man can be saved.
- 25:56 Joshua: The entire point of this series, A Road Map to
- 25:58 Armageddon, wasn't to get you all giddy about prophecy.
- 26:01 Give you sneak previews, get excited so you could pick
- 26:04 a side.
- 26:05 No, the whole idea of this is that Jesus is coming and you
- 26:08 need to make a choice that without him, you're gonna spend
- 26:12 an eternity separated from him.
- 26:14 And today is the day before all of this happens before another
- 26:17 second takes place in your life that you choose to make Yeshua
- 26:20 your Lord and Savior.
- 26:21 Kirsten: And this program, our words, hopefully will continue
- 26:27 for a long time.
- 26:28 The world needs to hear this message.
- 26:31 You make it happen.

- 26:49 male announcer: Our resource this week the book "The Iranian
- 26:51 Menace in Jewish History and Prophecy" by Doctor
- 26:54 Jeffrey Seif.
- 26:56 As Iran continues to capture the world's attention with threats
- 27:00 and tactical support of Israel's enemies, Doctor Seif uses
- 27:03 scriptural and secular evidence to support his case for the
- 27:07 Iranian Armageddon connection.

- 27:17 David: We have one more week of this great series, guys.
- 27:20 Can you tell us what's going on next week?
- 27:22 Caleb: Well, next week, it's about the conclusion of
- 27:24 everything that's wrapped up together, the
- 27:26 [speaking French] in French.
- 27:27 You know, the judgment and the redemption.
- 27:29 We see what happens for us believers and for the wicked.
- 27:32 Kirsten: It's finally coming.
- 27:34 Here we go. Here we go.
- 27:35 The beginning of-- Yeah, here we go.
- 27:38 Joshua: Because all this has been leading up to what
- 27:39 happens next.
- 27:40 It's not just the end.
