Caption transcript for “Israel and America in Bible Prophecy”

00:00 ♪♪♪ David Hart: We are so glad
00:12 you've joined us today. Our program today is about Israel and America in Bible
00:16 prophecy, correct?
00:17 Joshua Colson: Oh, yeah, we talk so much about Bible prophecy
00:19 in Israel, but then people wanna know what about America?
00:21 But then they start thinking, well, maybe we're in the
00:23 end-times now, maybe King Charles,
00:25 maybe he's the Antichrist.
00:26 Maybe COVID is the Tribulation.
00:28 They have all these questions and we start creating our own
00:32 doctrine without actually looking at the Bible sometimes.
00:35 Kirsten Hart: I've gotta say, if people think COVID was
00:37 tribulation, they have no idea what's coming.
00:40 Caleb Colson: That's what I'm saying, guys.
00:42 Baby steps to anything that happens in the Tribulation is so
00:45 harsh, but it's true, Josh, that Israel is God's timepiece,
00:49 it's the hourglass to the end, guys.
00:51 If you wanna know how close you are to the end, look at Israel.
00:54 If bad things are going down there, you know Yeshua is coming
00:57 back soon.
00:58 And with the recent wars and things, people going on, they're
01:02 wondering is this the end?
01:04 And so, we wanna go through some of our past "Bearded Bible
01:07 Brothers" episodes today where we talked about this stuff to
01:11 show you the real timeline of things to come.
01:14 Kirsten: And if America is in there.
01:16 Caleb: Yeah, we'll get to that, yeah.
01:18 David: Lots of great teaching coming up, stay with us.
01:22 female: Hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
01:24 male: And I'm Caleb.
01:26 female: And we're brothers.
01:27 male: Josh, why does your voice sound female?
01:30 female: What are you talking about, female?
01:32 I'm just the man I've always been.
01:33 male: You sound like a girl, dude.
01:34 female: Hold on, I can't hear anything with these masks on.
01:38 Joshua: Sorry, guys.
01:39 Caleb: Oh, that's better now.
01:41 Joshua: Family, we're allowed to do this together.
01:43 Caleb: Voice-altering masks.
01:45 Joshua: A lot of stuff's been going on in the world lately.
01:47 Everything from COVID-19 to all the rules like this.
01:51 Caleb: The mask thing, that's true.
01:52 Joshua: It's really got a lot of people going back to scripture
01:54 to kind of find out all this stuff is happening, what's
01:57 happening next?
01:58 Caleb: Well, we talked about Matthew 24 and the birth pains
02:03 and all this stuff before when all this COVID-19 stuff started,
02:07 and people read in the scriptures about, you know,
02:11 these wars that are coming to Israel.
02:13 There's a bunch of wars coming up and they wanna know where
02:15 these wars take place, are we gonna see anything?
02:18 The most important thing to realize is there is nothing left
02:22 to fulfill in prophecy that would hinder Yeshua to return
02:25 right now.
02:26 He could come at any minute.
02:27 Joshua: Oh, you meet like right now, now.
02:31 Caleb: Like right now, now.
02:33 Joshua: Nothing keeping him from coming back, prophetically
02:36 speaking.
02:37 Caleb: Prophetically, so we wanna look at these four wars
02:43 mentioned in scripture, the Psalm 83 war, the Battle of Gog
02:47 and Magog, and the Battle of Armageddon, and what I call the
02:50 Final Battle at the end of the Millennial Reign to know where
02:53 these battles fit.
02:54 They're all related to Israel, they all take part in them, and
02:57 where are we in Bible prophecy?
02:59 Joshua: So, the Psalm 83 war is something that a lot of people
03:02 have been digging into lately, and what it says in verse 4 here
03:07 is that you have a confederacy of nations that are coming
03:09 against Israel, and verse 4 says, "They have said, 'Come,
03:12 and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of
03:15 Israel may be remembered no more."
03:18 Caleb: Okay, so you have a confederacy.
03:19 These are the people involved.
03:20 It says Edom, Ishmaelites, Moab, Hagrites, Byblos, Ammon, Amalek,
03:25 Philistia, Tyre, and Assyria.
03:27 These were the people that occupied land territory back
03:31 then, Josh, but today we look at the land territories that these
03:34 ancient people did to find out who's going to be involved in
03:37 this battle, and we get Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria,
03:40 Iraq, possibly Turkey,
03:42 Hamas in the Gaza Strip,
03:44 Palestinians, and Jordan.
03:46 So, many asked has this war been fulfilled?
03:49 You know, there was a war in 1948 when Israel was established
03:51 as a nation and they've been fighting so many wars, Yom
03:54 Kippur War, Six-Day War, were any of those wars a fulfillment
03:58 of this?
03:59 Well, we don't see all those players exactly take part in
04:02 those wars, so we think this battle is yet to come.
04:05 It doesn't take place in the Tribulation, after the
04:08 Tribulation, so it has to take place before the Tribulation and
04:11 we don't exactly know the outcome.
04:13 God spares Israel, we know he always protects Israel.
04:15 Does America play a part, who knows?
04:17 But we know that it's coming soon.
04:19 Joshua: We know it's coming soon.
04:21 Let's go on to the second one, the Battle of Gog and Magog.
04:24 Caleb: Okay, Ezekiel 38 and 39, everybody heard about this
04:27 Battle of Gog and Magog.
04:29 The players here are different than Psalm 83, Josh.
04:32 Look at the participants in this battle.
04:33 We get Iran, Sudan, Libya, Russia, Turkey, many of the
04:37 -stans, like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan,
04:40 and who do they stand in for?
04:42 Joshua: Well, they represent Magog, that one I can't
04:45 pronounce, Meschech, Tubal, Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, what's
04:51 the last one?
04:53 Caleb: Togarmah.
04:55 Joshua: Man, these words are so hard for me.
04:56 Clearly I don't live in any of these.
04:58 Ezekiel 38:8 explains the prophetic timing here, guys.
05:01 It says, "In future years you will invade a land that has
05:04 recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations
05:08 to the mountain of Israel, which had long been desolate."
05:11 This evil prince, Gog himself, devises the plan, and verse 11
05:14 and 12 says, "I will invade a land of the unwalled villages.
05:18 I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people, all of them
05:21 living without walls and without gates and without bars.
05:24 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled
05:27 ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in
05:30 livestock and goods, living at the center of the land."
05:33 Caleb: So, this is interesting.
05:35 This description, a lot of it has already been
05:37 fulfilled, Josh.
05:38 In 1948 Israel was reborn, became a nation state again, we
05:42 see the regathering of people to the mountains of Israel.
05:45 We see Israel living in the center of their land.
05:47 They're not really occupying West Bank too much, even though
05:50 that is their God-given territory, and it's interesting,
05:54 we don't see America come to rescue Israel in Gog and Magog.
06:00 Where's America to rescue Israel?
06:01 No, God rescues Israel, but the thing that we don't see is the
06:05 no walls.
06:06 You know, if you've been to Israel, you see kind of walls
06:10 that have been placed around Gaza Strip, around the West
06:12 Bank, but for Israel to get to that place where they remove
06:15 their walls, perhaps the Psalm 83 war, you know, all those Arab
06:20 nations that come against them getting annihilated, they don't
06:22 feel the need to have walls up anymore, they're living in
06:24 a state of peace.
06:26 It's very interesting, some people think that this battle,
06:28 Josh, is the same battle talked about at the end of Revelation,
06:32 at the end of the Millennial Reign.
06:34 Joshua: It says in Revolution 28, "Satan will go out and
06:38 deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and
06:40 Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as
06:44 the sands of the sea."
06:46 That sounds familiar.
06:47 Caleb: I don't equate, even though it says Gog and Magog,
06:49 I don't equate them both as the same battle for this very
06:52 reason, the conclusions are different and the participants
06:55 are different.
06:56 This final battle at the end of the Millennial Reign has the
06:58 entire earth, including Gog and Magog.
07:00 The conclusion is fire comes out from the throne and incinerates
07:04 the entire army and the earth, and God has to make a new heaven
07:07 and new earth, but at the end of the Battle of Gog and Magog, God
07:12 sends brimstone and giant hailstones to eliminate the army
07:15 of Gog, and then the Jews have seven months to bury the dead
07:19 and seven years to burn the weapons of war.
07:22 Seven years, that's pretty interesting.
07:24 I believe that after we are raptured, this Battle of Gog and
07:28 Magog takes place, that the enemies of Israel are emboldened
07:32 in the midst of the chaos, and that the conclusion of Gog and
07:36 Magog sees these nations, that there's only a remnant left
07:39 behind having to strike up a peace deal with Israel brokered
07:43 by the beast, and thus begins seven years of burning these
07:47 weapons of war and the Tribulation beginning.
07:48 Joshua: Can I just say that if I ever heard the terminology in
07:50 any agreement that I signed, "brokered by the beast," that I
07:53 might have to have my attorneys look a couple extra times at the
07:56 details on that.
07:58 What's that little paragraph there?
07:59 Let's move on to the Battle of Armageddon.
08:01 Caleb: All right, this one's very easy.
08:03 Everybody knows exactly when it takes place, the end of
08:06 a seven-year tribulation on the day of Yom Kippur.
08:08 This is the great and terrible day of the Lord.
08:11 There you go, we have the placement of all four battles
08:15 to come, Josh.
08:16 So, why is this important?
08:18 Joshua: Because you don't wanna enlist in those battles.
08:23 It's important to be ready, okay?
08:26 We have a job to do.
08:27 We have a task that was given to each and every one of us.
08:31 We talked about in an earlier episode in this season about the
08:34 importance and the value of nothing being idle in what you
08:37 say and do.
08:38 So, we're called to watch and be ready.
08:40 Caleb: Be watchful and ready, because we already see the key
08:43 players making alliances right now.
08:45 We see Iran and Turkey and Russia getting cozy.
08:49 That's already Gog and Magog set up right there.
08:51 You know, we see all this crazy stuff going on, we know Yeshua
08:53 is coming soon.
08:55 We see Israel, the fig tree, all these things coming to pass, so
08:58 Yeshua could come any minute now.
08:59 Be ready, get your hearts right with God, and join us next time.
09:05 Joshua: I really like the colors in my mask here.
09:07 Caleb: It's nice, but it made your voice all weird.
09:10 Joshua: But it's so happy and shiny and reflective.
09:13 Caleb: That's your personality, right there.
09:14 Joshua: It goes with my flowers.
09:18 Kirsten: I probably shouldn't do this, I probably shouldn't, but
09:22 I will.
09:23 I have a little pet peeve when it comes to the song, oh, Lord,
09:28 "God Bless America," because--and I love my country,
09:33 but it's almost as if "God Bless America" because we're
09:37 Israel's savior.
09:39 We will say almost as if we will save the world and especially
09:43 Israel, but we don't see that scripturally.
09:46 Caleb: We don't see that scripturally.
09:48 The wars that we just talked about in Israel, you would think
09:50 Israel's greatest ally, America, would come and save them, but
09:53 not in Psalm 83, not in Gog and Magog, so we're not there to
09:58 rescue them.
09:59 We're gonna talk about that in the upcoming segment, but this
10:02 calendar that we just gave, I consider these prophetic points
10:06 pillars in time.
10:07 You know, you have these wars, the Rapture, the starting point
10:10 of the Tribulation.
10:11 God gave us these points that he determined that it's not gonna
10:14 be changed by man or by any action, but there are some
10:17 things that we can do, I believe, to extend this
10:19 timetable just like King Josiah when we humble ourselves before
10:22 the Lord.
10:24 When a nation repents before God, we can get that moment
10:26 of reprieve.
10:27 And so, people ask is Psalm 83 going on with the whole
10:29 Israel-Hamas war?
10:31 Not yet, if enough of us repent and pray to God, we may get that
10:35 moment of reprieve, but it could escalate into that.
10:38 We could see Psalm 83, I believe, with our own
10:40 eyes today.
10:42 Kirsten: So, it wasn't in A.D. 70
10:44 or it wasn't when Israel--1948, because we hear
10:50 a lot of that.
10:51 People think that happened here or that happened there.
10:53 Joshua: And again, back to your question, what we're about to
10:55 get to, where is America?
10:57 Is an American president gonna be the Antichrist?
10:59 Are we going to save the world and Israel and everything else?
11:03 So, guys, I need you to watch this segment if you've ever
11:05 wondered what's gonna happen with America in the end-times.
11:11 Caleb: Okay, Josh, you've been to so many countries doing
11:13 missionary work, tell me, America is great, but is Zambia
11:18 greater than America?
11:20 Joshua: Zambia is not greater than America.
11:22 Caleb: What about Philippines, Josh?
11:24 Joshua: No.
11:26 Caleb: Haiti, Burma, the Ireland?
11:30 Joshua: Ireland is fantastic, but no, not as good as America.
11:35 Caleb: Israel, oh, see, I may have got you there.
11:39 We here in America love our country and we think it is the
11:42 center of the universe, America, but when we read Bible prophecy,
11:48 we always kind of add this western slant to it because we
11:51 think we are the center.
11:52 In fact, Israel is the center of the universe to God, and when
11:57 you read Bible prophecy, you need to interpret it from a
12:01 boots-on-the-ground perspective of an ancient Jew in that time
12:04 period understanding the history of that time period,
12:06 the geography, otherwise you're gonna miss out.
12:08 Joshua: The Bible wasn't written in Minnesota?
12:10 Caleb: No, Josh, the Bible was not written in Minnesota.
12:13 Joshua: I have been really holding things to
12:15 a different standard.
12:16 I'm so sorry.
12:18 Caleb: Anyways, in 1776 America became a nation, that was 244
12:20 years ago, and basically the question is, is America in
12:24 Bible prophecy?
12:26 Joshua: No.
12:27 Caleb: No?
12:29 Okay, well, no.
12:31 In a small way, maybe it is, it's not in the way you America
12:35 as the great horse shippers are really hoping for.
12:38 It's in a smaller and more different way.
12:40 Well, let's look at this.
12:41 Before you yell blasphemy and start clicking away, like, how
12:46 dare you?
12:47 We are well-intentioned people, we all want to study scripture
12:49 well, we are blessed for doing that according to
12:52 Revelation 22:7.
12:53 Second Timothy 4:8 says, "We get a crown of righteousness for
12:56 longing for Yeshua's return," and within reason, America is in
13:01 scripture and we'll get to that, but we wanna go through some of
13:04 the common theories of how America is in Bible prophecy.
13:08 Where are those, Josh?
13:09 Joshua: Well, I can tell you some of these theories.
13:12 Theory number one, is America the unnamed nation in Isaiah 18?
13:16 Caleb: Okay, to understand Bible prophecy you really need
13:19 a degree in history, ancient history of the world, and
13:22 geography, because everything has to deal with boundaries and
13:25 land and territory, and nine times out of ten that land
13:28 boundaries and territory is legit.
13:30 It's not symbolic, it's the literal land territory that the
13:34 Bible is talking about that those countries occupied in
13:36 the past.
13:37 And when people start trying to symbolize countries in the
13:39 Bible, then people start going around and saying, oh, Israel is
13:43 really the church now and the Jewish people are Christians,
13:48 and that's blasphemy.
13:49 That's replacement theology, Josh.
13:51 Joshua: I don't replace theology, and now I understand
13:53 that Megiddo is not a little cute chimp, that it's actually
13:57 a valley somewhere, so that helps me out.
13:59 Isaiah 18, let's get back.
14:01 Caleb: Okay, Isaiah 18, this is an interesting prophecy about
14:04 a nation and how it relates to Israel.
14:05 You get these creepy descriptions like the whirling
14:08 wings and "tall and smooth-skinned people," but the
14:10 interesting thing to note is remember, you're focused on
14:13 Israel, it's talking about a country south of Israel around
14:17 Cush, Ethiopia, and we know that's nowhere near America.
14:20 So, right away we are discounting that,
14:23 it's not America.
14:24 Joshua: What about the great eagle's wings in
14:26 Revelation 12:14?
14:28 Caleb: Oh, yeah, we didn't talk about this.
14:29 Okay, Revelation 12:14, so finally we get some symbolism in
14:32 this story talking about how Satan was cast out of heaven.
14:36 We get this fiery red dragon and he's waiting to devour the child
14:40 of a pregnant woman who represents Israel, and that
14:43 child is Messiah.
14:44 He's whisked off into heaven and then he goes to persecute the
14:47 offspring of the woman, the Jewish people, and Revelation
14:51 says that the Jewish people--the woman is given two wings like
14:56 a gray eagle in which she's flown off to a desert
14:59 hiding place to keep her safe.
15:01 And meanwhile, you say eagles wings, that must be America,
15:04 because we love bald eagles, man, but you know, really when
15:08 you look at the iconography of the bald eagle as presented by
15:13 our Founding Fathers, like on the back of this $1 bill, they
15:17 state in their writings this is actually the Phoenix.
15:20 This is not an eagle.
15:22 You look at a country in that time of this writing that had an
15:24 emblem or a standard of eagle, it was Rome.
15:28 So, are you gonna say Rome is gonna save the Jewish people?
15:30 No, no, no, no.
15:32 Joshua: If that's the case, Rome messed up real bad.
15:35 So, you're saying they're not the great eagle's wings, they're
15:38 just the great phoenix, what about the young lions
15:41 of Tarshish?
15:42 Caleb: Okay, just to let you know what I think, the two wings
15:44 represent the two witnesses, the prophets that are going to save
15:48 the Jewish people and lead them to a place in the wilderness.
15:50 But okay, the young lions of Tarshish, this is interesting.
15:53 In Ezekiel 38 and 39 you get the Battle of Gog and Magog, you get
15:56 all these participants of these countries around Israel that
16:00 come to invade her and destroy her, and the first thing that's
16:03 interesting to notice, Josh, is where is America to
16:05 rescue Israel?
16:08 Joshua: It's not there.
16:09 Caleb: I mean, aren't we allied with Israel, our greatest ally?
16:12 Shouldn't we be there to rescue America?
16:14 Joshua: So, you must have read it wrong then.
16:15 Hold on, let me read.
16:17 Caleb: Okay, so America at this point must be diminished in some
16:22 form, not the superpower, but we don't rescue Israel.
16:25 We read in verse 13, "Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish
16:29 and all their young lions will say to you, 'Have you come to
16:31 take plunder?'"
16:33 So, these people are talking to Prince Gog and saying are you
16:35 coming to take Israel's plunder?
16:37 Tarshish, people say that Tarshish represents Great
16:40 Britain and the lions thereof are the colonies of America.
16:44 So, it's basically saying when Jonah went to escape and go to
16:47 Tarshish, he was sailing all the way to Great Britain.
16:50 Well, you look at the history of that time period and nowhere do
16:52 you see Great Britain geographically as being that
16:56 connection with Tarshish.
16:57 People say Spain, you don't see any connection in history
17:01 as well.
17:02 There's many Tarshishs throughout the ancient world,
17:05 and port Tarshishs, but the only one that we really see, a writer
17:09 of that time, Josephus a Jewish historian, connected Tarshish
17:12 with a port city along the coast of Turkey, not America.
17:16 I'm sorry, guys.
17:18 Joshua: I dip my fried fish in Tarshish.
17:19 Ha, ha, ha, my dad joke for the month.
17:22 Not there, okay, okay, I'm not gonna say this, America, but we
17:26 have to ask.
17:27 Somebody asked is America the great whore of Babylon?
17:29 Caleb: Okay, Revelation 17, Josh.
17:32 We see mystery, Babylon the Great, some people consider that
17:36 to be Rome.
17:37 Some people are now saying it is America.
17:40 The first thing you need to notice is this is a city,
17:42 not a country.
17:44 It could be Babylon geographically of today, but
17:46 it's a different Babylon, it's mystery Babylon.
17:49 We read in Revelation 11:8 after the two prophets are killed
17:53 that, "Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great
17:55 city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord
17:58 was crucified."
17:59 So, we get--a spiritual identity can be connected with cities.
18:03 So, we have this revived Roman Empire, as some people say this
18:06 great whore, it's a religious system of the revived worship of
18:10 Baal connected to the ancient sin in Babylonianism.
18:13 And then we decide, okay, well, the city, where is
18:16 it geographically?
18:18 We've talked before, Josh, about the city of the seven hills that
18:20 it says that this great horse sits upon, and people say
18:23 maybe Rome.
18:24 We had a theory that maybe Istanbul, Turkey, that's one
18:26 identifier, but a second identifier is in verse 10 of
18:30 Revelation 17, isn't Josh?
18:32 Can you read that?
18:33 Joshua: I can read that.
18:35 It says, "There are also seven kings.
18:36 Five have fallen, one is, and the other one has not yet come.
18:39 And when he comes, he must continue a short time.
18:41 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and
18:46 is of the seven, and is going to perdition."
18:49 That's a lot of confusing numbers.
18:51 Caleb: It is, so we see in the Bible that kings can also
18:53 represent kingdoms and kingdom's kings, and so what we're talking
18:57 about here is once the state of Israel was established, there
19:00 were world power kingdoms that then occupied Israel and held it
19:04 in dominion.
19:05 The five that had fallen at this time was Egypt, Assyria,
19:09 Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece, and it says one is.
19:13 Rome was the is, because John was writing at the same time
19:16 that Rome had ruled the world and had occupied Israel.
19:19 They said one is to come, that could be the Ottoman Empire or
19:21 a revived Eastern Roman Empire.
19:23 Whatever the case is, the beast will come out of that revived
19:26 empire and he's the eighth.
19:28 But like Josh just asked, I don't see America any time
19:32 holding dominion over the state of Israel, over the country and
19:36 territory of Israel.
19:37 Joshua: So, where is it then?
19:39 I mean, if I'm looking and I noticed that you have left out
19:42 the last question, is it Obama?
19:44 So that must just be a nefarious question for some of you.
19:46 Caleb: People look at some of the weird founding things have
19:49 gone on in America.
19:51 We look at the iconography of our monuments, of our statues,
19:53 and we see these ancient Greek and Roman temples.
19:56 It's kind of weird.
19:57 We have these obelisks that are the Washington monument.
19:59 We have these dollar bills with these Masonic symbols of the
20:03 trapezoid with the all-seeing eye.
20:05 These are cult symbols, which is very interesting, and the
20:08 Founding Fathers, they painted the Greek gods and goddesses in
20:12 our Capitol building and put the Greek gods as symbols on the top
20:16 of the Capitol building, so people are saying, well, look at
20:17 all this idolatry.
20:19 The Founding Fathers wrote about the return of Apollo, this is
20:22 like the Antichrist, so surely we are the great whore.
20:24 I don't think we are still with all of this.
20:26 We love America, America is a great nation, but where we think
20:29 America is inserted into Bible prophecies, when you read in
20:32 Revelation it talk about all the plagues and judgments are coming
20:35 on the whole world, guess what?
20:37 America is getting hit.
20:38 Joshua: Oh, man, that's us.
20:40 Caleb: That could be us.
20:41 You read in Revelation and it talks about ten kings.
20:45 People used to think that the ten kings were like ten
20:48 countries in Europe, but I believe there are ten
20:51 designations that the world is cut up into, say the North
20:54 America district, the Asia district, this district, because
20:56 in Daniel it talks about three kings rebelling against the
21:00 beast, and one of them is from the 200-million-man army of the
21:05 east, one of them is from North Africa, including Egypt, one of
21:08 them is from the north, and these kings rebel against the
21:11 beast, they come against Jerusalem to fight in the Battle
21:14 of Armageddon, and then the seven other come and protect
21:17 the beast.
21:18 This is all nations of the world coming together, so somewhere in
21:20 there America has to come.
21:22 Joshua: Well, if you're like me and your brains are leaking out
21:26 of your ears because of all the information that was just given
21:28 to you, I think what we're trying to say, I think the most
21:31 important point to take through all of this, since this is
21:34 really a best guess situation, is that instead of trying to
21:38 spend your whole life figuring out where America is in
21:40 prophecy, let's pray and believe that America make good choices.
21:43 Let's pray and believe for America to have a good place
21:47 because we have defended Israel, to continue to defend Israel.
21:50 Let's believe that America falls on its face before God like it
21:53 did initially, and that its place is solidified
21:57 because we do the right thing.
21:58 Whether or not that happens is out of our control, but we can
22:01 choose today what we do, and we can join together with fellow
22:05 Americans today and believe that this country lives the way that
22:09 it should.
22:11 Caleb: And join us next time.
22:13 Happy Freedom Day, Happy Independence Day, we love you
22:16 guys, and we love America.
22:17 Joshua: Well, what if we made a bald phoenix since it's not
22:20 the thing?
22:21 Like, what do you think a bald phoenix instead of an eagle,
22:23 or is that sacrilegious talk?
22:26 Because you said on the back was a little phoenix, it wasn't like
22:29 a, ahh! [eagle screech]
22:33 David: From the brothers teaching today, it sounds to me,
22:36 to us, like America maybe in danger.
22:39 Joshua: That's a good question.
22:41 It's a question that I don't think enough people have asked,
22:43 but why would America not come to Israel's aid in Gog and
22:47 Magog, right?
22:49 We are their biggest defenders, and so if you look at all the
22:50 possible scenarios of why America might not come, we hope
22:54 at least that the answer is the Rapture emptied out
22:57 most of America.
22:58 That'd be a great scenario, right?
23:00 America's infrastructure is weakened, most of us have been
23:02 taken in the Rapture, and America's focused on getting
23:05 itself strong again and trying to protect itself, and that's
23:07 why it can't go help Israel.
23:09 But we don't know what's gonna happen, and so not knowing
23:13 what's gonna happen with that, we have to focus on realizing
23:15 what America needs to do is get its sin out.
23:18 Caleb: Yeah, I mean, guys, right now I believe America, as with
23:21 Israel, is in a very dangerous place.
23:24 You know, in scripture when a nation turns their heart away
23:27 from God, God removes his hand of protection
23:29 and what can come in?
23:30 He said there can be enemy invaders, there can be famine,
23:33 there can be plague, all these different judgments.
23:35 Not that God's being mean, he literally can't protect them
23:38 because they're in sin.
23:39 And right now I see three key sins that has ensnared America
23:43 from idolatry, apostasy, child sacrifice.
23:48 Let me go into some of those, because you may be thinking, "In
23:50 America, I don't bow to golden idols of cows, that doesn't
23:54 happen to me.
23:55 I go to church, everything's good with me."
23:57 But idolatry is anything in your life that you put in precedence
24:02 and honor more than God.
24:03 What gets more of your focus than God?
24:06 Is it sports, is it entertainment, is it food, is it
24:10 sex, is it work?
24:12 Is it even the church building, serving in church?
24:14 Are you focusing on those actions instead of serving God?
24:18 And so, idolatry is rampant in the world today because we don't
24:22 put Messiah as our foremost focus.
24:26 Second, let's see, child sacrifice.
24:28 You say, "Okay, we don't offer our children to Moloch."
24:30 What about abortion?
24:32 I know Roe vs. Wade
24:33 has been removed, and I thank Yeshua for that, but
24:36 still, individual states are going above and beyond the call
24:40 of duty to try to find a way to murder their unborn children.
24:43 That is child sacrifice.
24:44 The Lord warned against the Israelites when you come into
24:47 this country, this nation, this promising I'm giving you, don't
24:51 do what the Canaanites did and sacrifice their children, and
24:53 we've done that for years.
24:55 The blood of those innocent children are crying out from
24:57 the grave.
24:58 And finally apostasy, this is the most insidious and wicked
25:02 playing of Satan, where from the pulpit church leaders, pastors,
25:07 are teaching false doctrine.
25:08 Just slightly a little bit off to where it sounds palatable,
25:11 it sounds good, it's more about me, but it's not.
25:14 Yeah, feel-good doctrine, but you read Revelation chapter
25:18 2 and 3, six out of seven churches were following after
25:23 this false doctrine about apostasy.
25:25 So, that's bad odds for the church today.
25:28 We need to get our hearts right with God.
25:30 Kirsten: Can I redeem myself real quick?
25:32 I do love America, I do, and I will continue to pray
25:37 desperately that we will continue to have a role in this
25:42 world and that maybe we're the unspoken, but we will be there
25:47 somewhere to support Israel in those times.
25:50 David: We're going to Israel hopefully soon, and we would
25:53 love for you to join us.
25:55 The four of us will be on the bus and it's life-changing.
25:58 Please consider going to Israel with the four of us.
26:02 We'll be right back.
26:04 Joshua: If you've been enjoying this program, please consider
26:07 liking and subscribing online to all of our social media
26:09 platforms.
26:11 It is an amazing place, the internet.
26:12 We don't have time restrictions like TV, we can say whatever we
26:15 want unfiltered and get that word to you completely safe.
26:19 We got banned again?
26:21 Caleb: Yeah, Facebook, YouTube, sometimes
26:22 they don't like our videos.
26:24 Joshua: So it's not completely unfiltered, but it's
26:25 still amazing.
26:26 Caleb: You know, guys, we're living in a time where Satan's
26:28 trying to control the flow of information.
26:30 Although ministries are plenteous, ministries that
26:32 preach the truth unfiltered and without restriction is rare, and
26:37 we want to do that because we feel the time is short.
26:39 Yeshua is coming soon and we ask that you donate to us or even
26:44 share our videos online with other people or even pray
26:46 for us.
26:48 Any help, any assistance will bring the gospel forth.
26:51 Joshua: I don't think I can do a TikTok dance, though.
26:52 I pulled a hammy on the last one.
