It's a demonic Nephilim spirit, half human, half demonic,
and that's what produces a supernatural size and strength.
This is a stronghold.
The territorial spirit that was there was never conquered,
was never fully removed.
I saw a video recently where you were talking
about Nephilim in Gaza, and that's something
that I wasn't expecting a rabbi to be talking about,
because Nephilim is something that people in general
don't wanna talk about.
But you were hitting this head on,
and there is correlations with what is happening
in our world today because of what didn't happen
that was supposed to hundreds and thousands of years ago.
So it's great to have you here to talk about this.
Yeah, shalom.
Thank you for having me.
I'm looking forward to jumping into the topic.
Yeah, so right now Israel is at war with Hamas.
Depending on the day, you never know exactly
what is the latest battle that is happening,
but Gaza is the central point for a lot of the skirmishes,
the lot of the fighting,
and Gaza has historically always been an area of Israel
that has had trouble, and you have some great insight
as to why that might be.
Let's dive right into this and hear why that is.
Yeah, I think it's important to understand
that there's always a spiritual route to these things.
There's this terrible tragedy that happened on October 7th
of this surprise attack by Hamas.
What's interesting is that, as many of the viewers
might know, that the word Hamas is actually found
in Genesis chapter six, the story of Noah,
and it says God destroyed the earth
because there was Hamas, there was this violence.
But the question is, what was the root of this violence,
and what is the background?
So it's interesting.
After the children of Israel come out of Egypt,
Joshua leads the children up to go possess the land
after they wander in 40 years in the desert,
actually 40 years in the desert,
and Joshua 11 tells us, verse 21,
that Gaza was given to the tribe of Judah.
You can read more about that in Joshua 15 47.
And it says that this, at that time,
Joshua went up and cut off the anachem
from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, Anab,
and from the hill country of Judah
and the entire hill country of Israel,
Joshua put a ban on them with their cities.
There were none of the anachem left
in the land of the children of Israel,
except in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
So these are all towns of the Philistines.
And what's interesting about this
is that the modern day Palestinians
take their name from the biblical Philistines.
And so that title wasn't used actually into the 1920s,
but wanting to kind of create a historical connection
to the land, they take this name.
But the important thing here is to notice that
in Gaza, the anachem were not killed.
But then this begs the question, who are the anachem?
Well, the Hebrew word anachem
comes from the Hebrew word anach,
which means, literally means neck.
Neck in the sense that they had these long necks
that made them look, which is a reference to their height.
And there's another reference to the anachem,
which is important, Numbers 1330.
It talks about when the children of Israel
went in the first time to take the land
after they came out of Egypt
and Moses sent the 12 spies into the land,
10 spies come back and they bring an evil report.
And this is what they said,
and the people saw the men were of great size.
We also saw the Nephilim.
And this is what it says, the Nephilim parentheses
who are these Nephilim?
The sons of Anak are from the Nephilim.
And we seem like grasshoppers in their sight.
This is incredible.
So Joshua tells us when they went up into the land,
they destroyed most of the anachem
except in the area of Gaza,
which is the area of the Philistines.
And then Numbers tells us that the anachem
are descendants of the Nephilim.
And what's incredible is that
there's actually a numeric connection.
So for Jewish people, Numbers are important
when they read the Bible.
And in Hebrew is alphanumeric.
That means every letter is connected to a number
because there's no Roman numerals in the Bible.
The way that you write Numbers in Hebrew is with letters.
So if I say, open your Bible to chapter one,
I'd say open your Bible to chapter olive
because olive is the first letter,
has a numerical value of one.
This idea of letters and Numbers being interchangeable
is what the mark of the beast is, 666.
Meaning the letters and the name of the Antichrist
and his mark will add up to 666.
What's incredible is this.
Anak equals 220 and Nephilim equals 220.
So not only are the, not only the anachem
connected to the Nephilim in the Bible,
but numerically, they have the same numerical value,
anak and Nephilim.
That's on the negative side.
On the positive side,
Bechir, chosen one equals 220,
lamb equals 220,
and the Holy Spirit equals 220
because it's the two letters
that are in the same beat
because it's the chosen one,
the Messiah, the lamb,
by the power of the Spirit,
is how ultimately the anachem,
the Nephilim that instilled fear
into the hearts of people are ultimately overcome.
Now the word Nephilim means fallen ones,
literally from the word Nafal in Hebrew.
And they're first mentioned in Genesis chapter six,
that the sons of God had relationships
with the daughters of men.
There's different ways of reading that.
The way that I read it,
the way many ancient rabbis read it,
was that there are these fallen angels
that had these relationships with women
and in the offspring,
their seed is a race of half human, half demonic,
and that's what produces a supernatural size and strength.
Genesis six talks about them as the men of renown,
of old, and what's interesting in ancient mythology,
there's this group of individuals called the Titans,
a race of half humans, half gods who lived on the earth.
Well, maybe this is more
than just something that was made up.
What's interesting is that in second Peter two,
two it says this,
for God did not spare the angels when they sinned,
but cast them into hell.
He talks about later on the days of Noah and Noah,
and the word hell there in Greek is Tartarus,
the deepest part of hell,
which is the place in ancient thought where,
not only reserved for the fallen angels in biblical thought,
but in Greek mythology,
Tartarus is the place for the Titans.
That's where they were thrown.
Wow.
Right, so Peter seems to be making
this interesting connection between the fallen angels,
the days of Noah, the Nephilim, Tartarus, right,
and the Titans, which is, I think, interesting.
And then you go to this word itself, this area Gaza,
and in Hebrew there's actually not a Z,
it's actually Azah, so if you drop the Z, it's Azah,
and it means strong.
And the point is that this was a stronghold.
It was a place controlled by the Philistines
that Israel always struggled to be able to control.
And in a few of these places, as we see,
the Anakim, the descendants of the Nephilim,
were never defeated.
The territorial spirit that was there was never conquered,
was never fully, and the point is that this was a stronghold.
It was a place controlled by the Philistines
that Israel always struggled to be able to control.
And in a few of these places, as we see,
the Anakim, the descendants of the Nephilim,
were never defeated.
The territorial spirit that was there was never conquered,
was never fully removed, that was still in existence
even to this day.
It's a demonic Nephilim spirit, the spirit of the Anakim
that was behind the October 7th attack
and everything that is going on there in Gaza.
So from what you're saying, I'm kind of picking up
that if Joshua and the Israelites,
if they would have actually vanquished those
and not let them stay in Gaza and Ashdod and Ashkelon,
is that correct, the third one that you said?
Then we wouldn't be having these issues today,
at least in these areas?
Yeah, because it's kind of like the other example
of that that's clear is, think about it.
God told King Saul, wipe out the Amalekites.
Saul disobeys, doesn't wipe out the Amalekites.
That was the final straw.
God sends the prophet Samuel to him and says,
listen, the kingdom has been taken from you
and given to another.
God, you know, God, you know, God prefers, you know,
it's better to obey than to sacrifice.
Why was God so upset?
Like we look at some people, like some secular,
some individuals will look at it and say,
oh, look how God is telling Saul to commit genocide
and look how evil the Bible is.
Okay, until you understand that God has a reason
for all these things, that it's not just
because God wants into violence or what,
no, he loves his children.
But to understand the wickedness and the evil
because God knows the end of the beginning.
Why does God want the Amalekites destroyed?
The Amalekites are connected to Amalek.
Amalek is the first person to attack Israel
when they come out of Egypt.
And Haman in the book of Esther is a descendant of Amalek
and he's the first person to try and commit actual genocide
against God's chosen people.
So because Saul did not listen,
the descendants of the Amalekites remained
and in future generation Haman arose
because of Saul's disobedience and was going to try
and wipe out the entirety of the Jewish people
and commit genocide in the Persian empire.
It's the same thing, right?
If they would have destroyed the Canaanites
and especially the Anakim in the land,
then okay, that the spirit could have been deposed
and things would be different, I believe.
Now, what's interesting is this as well,
back to the numbers and how it ties into today.
So the sons of Anak in Hebrew, B'nai Anak,
all those letters equal up to 282.
Why is that important?
Arab equals 282 in Hebrew.
So the modern day Anakim who are tied to the Philistines
are the Palestinians.
Now, again, I'm not saying the Palestinians are demonic.
I wanna be clear.
What I'm saying is that there is a spirit
behind the terrorist groups among the Palestinians.
It's that same spirit of the sons of Anak, okay,
that's represented in the modern day Palestinian terrorists
who happen to be Arab there, both equaling 282.
Hebrew equals 282.
Like Abraham is a Hebrew, 282.
The word for help or aid in Hebrew equals 282.
And one more thing that is important that equals 282
is the Hebrew word Zerah.
So the first, what does that mean?
Zerah means seed.
So the first messianic prophecy in the Bible, Genesis 3.15,
the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent.
But it says that the seed of the serpent
would continue throughout the generations
to attack the heel, but the seed of the woman
would ultimately crush the head.
So it's talking about the battle between the seed
throughout the generations.
Well seed equals, the promised seed equals 282.
So what's the point?
The seed 282 of the serpent will try and kill
the Hebrew seed, 282 of the woman,
but the true seed, 282, the Messiah will help 282
win the victory and bring the overthrow of the Nephilim,
the mnemonic forces and ultimately usher in a day of peace.
I wanna take a little bit of a side trail
because you've mentioned this 282, the 220.
That's gonna confuse a lot of people.
I wanna kind of, is this called gematria?
Is that correct?
Gematria.
Can you, for our Western minds where we have zero,
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
we use numbers for representation
of the numerical value of things.
But in Hebrew it is based off of the letters.
You were talking about that,
but help us understand about adding these words together,
adding these letters together to get numbers
and what those mean when they correlate
and just help us understand that
because in the Western mindset
and rather the Greek mindset I guess,
it's kind of lost or maybe it's obviously
or absconded for reasons because that's something
that's hidden from us.
Help us understand that.
Yeah, so let's just, yes, and that's a good point.
So I should have probably prefaced it a little bit better.
So let me back up for a second
and talk about why I think it's important.
Yeah, please.
So for example, if you were to go into a university
and you were to try and make a case
for the creation account of the Bible,
people would probably look at you and say,
are you out of your mind?
Are you backwards?
We are a scientific academic institution,
the ancients who wrote the scripture,
they had no idea of physics and of science
and mathematics on the level that we do today.
And so therefore, they did the best they could,
but they were ignorant.
But today we know better and therefore,
there's no way we could believe the biblical account
that God spoke the world into existence.
That was their pre-scientific lack of understanding,
but today we're more educated
and we can't take these things seriously.
Here's a crazy thing.
We do know that the world has a mathematical structure
that math is the language of science and of creation,
and even music is mathematical for that matter.
But here's the interesting thing.
If letters and numbers are interchangeable,
because in Hebrew, as we said, as well as in Greek,
but especially in Hebrew,
there are no numerals in the Bible.
They do not exist.
You will not find a number one in a Hebrew Bible
or a Roman numeral two in the Bible.
So what that means is that Hebrew is alphanumeric.
So what that means is that every Hebrew letter
gets assigned a value from one to 400
and the combination of those letters create the numbers.
So if I said open up to chapter 14,
I'd say open up to Yud Dalad.
Why?
Because Yud is a numerical value of 10
and Dalad is the numerical value of four.
10 plus four equals 14.
So that's how it works, but why is this important?
Going back to what we said,
because if Hebrew is alphanumeric
and God creates the heavens and the earth
and the Bible says all things are held together by his word
and God spoke the world into existence,
when he creates heaven,
his word creates the spiritual DNA
of the spiritual universe that we're in.
That's why life and death are in the power of the tongue.
That's why prayer and declarations are so important.
That's why when Jesus comes back,
well, when Jesus was in the Garden of Eden,
Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane
and they went to arrest him, he spoke,
words came out of his mouth and they went flying back.
In the book of Revelation,
it's pictured as a sword coming out of his mouth.
It's showing the power spiritually
of words and of the mouth.
On the other hand, he also creates the earth,
the physical reality in which we live in.
Well, if letters and numbers are interchangeable,
when God speaks, he's actually coding creation.
By him speaking the words
that have a numerical value assigned to it,
he is literally creating the mathematical structure
of what we look at in science and quantum physics.
So literally speaking the world into existence
by his word creates the mathematical structure of creation.
So therefore, since numbers and letters are interchangeable
when God speaks, what is he doing?
He's coding creation.
And when man sins, it's like a virus in the system
that causes it to crash.
I'm following along with this.
So each of these words that we have,
if you take the Hebrew word of it,
they have specific meanings, specific values rather.
And so then how do those correlate to other Hebrew words?
Cause you were talking about, you know,
these words have the same numbers.
And so there's a value related to that?
Yeah, so let's back up for example, give you a great example.
So the Hebrew word for love is the Hebrew word Ahava.
A in Hebrew, alif is one, okay.
H in Hebrew is hei is five.
The V is the bait, which is two.
And the H is five.
So you add up the letters, the four letters in Ahava
and you get the 13.
Why is that significant?
Because when there are other words
that share the same numerical value,
there's usually a connection between them on some level.
Because there's a reason why they share a new numeric value.
Oftentimes there's a correlation between the two.
So for example, love equals 13,
but you know what else equals 13?
The word echad to be one.
So man and woman become one flesh.
Echad, how do they become one?
13 through love, 13, okay.
So oneness or love is about oneness.
It's about becoming one.
And then you look at something,
and if you wanna look at it and think about it more,
you could say, well, what's the love chapter in the Bible?
First Corinthians 13.
And how many verses does it have?
13. 13 verses, right?
Now there were no original chapters and verses
in the original Greek text, so I just wanna be clear.
But I don't think it's any accident
that God knows the end from the beginning
that the numerical value of the word for love
happens to be the chapter 13 that talks about love
with 13 verses, and it's about oneness as well.
So we can look and we can see these connections
when it comes with numbers.
And if we live in a mathematical universe
where numbers are important,
this is what I was trying to say earlier,
then there's a numerical value in the Bible
that should be important as well.
Now, I wanna be clear.
We don't derive theology off of this.
Okay.
But the connections are illustrative and give deeper insight.
So example, when we know the Bible tells us clearly
that the Nephilim and the Anakim are related,
and then the numerical value happens to be the same
for Anak and Nephilim, that's no coincidence.
That's showing us on another level
that there is a connection, that there's something more
that we need to look at.
Thank you for explaining that.
That's really helpful.
And I know there's so many more questions
I could have about that.
I saw you, did you grab a little whiteboard?
Yeah, I was gonna run it out, but that's okay.
So back to the Anakim and the Nephilim,
we're talking about specific areas,
and you know, you Gaza, Ashdod,
and I forgot the third one,
but you mentioned something about Ashkelon,
and that's in Lebanon, modern day Lebanon, correct?
No, Ashkelon, those are all in the South.
All in the South, but there's something
that you wanted to talk about.
There was something you wanted to talk about though,
in Lebanon.
Yeah, and let me just say one more thing
that's interesting, that there is a famous rabbi
by name of Rabbi David Kimchi, and he said,
"'In the end of days, there will be a war in Gaza,
but it will remain Philistine territory
until the Messiah comes, and will not be fully at peace
until the Messiah comes.'"
And I think this is what we're seeing.
And I think what's also interesting
before we jump into Lebanon is practically
the significance for us, which is,
I'm sure you've talked about this before,
but on the Hebrew calendar,
we've entered into the biblical year of 57, 85.
Right.
We're in the year of 85.
Well, why is that significant?
Partly it's significant because 85
is the age that Joshua and Caleb went in
and took the land.
And literally when Joshua and Caleb went in at 85,
what did they have to do?
Caleb said, give me Hebron.
Why does he want Hebron?
Because that's the place where he saw the Anakim,
that's the place where they saw the giants,
one of the places that put fear in their hearts.
And he's like, listen, I'm 85 years old,
but I want the toughest assignment.
I have as much courage today and faith in God
that I can face the giants
and possess my promise in this season.
So first of all, is it a coincidence
that in the year of the 85,
where Joshua and Joshua and Caleb had to go in
and face the giants in these areas,
but didn't finish the assignment
that in the year 57, 85,
Israel seems to be finishing the assignment
of wiping out these descendants
and trying to dispose this spirit that's there.
I don't think that's a coincidence, okay?
I don't think it's a coincidence.
I think it's prophetically significant.
But I think also there's something practical
for each one of us, which is this.
Every one of us has to face our giants.
Every one of us has promises that God wants us to possess
that we haven't been able to fully possess.
And I believe this is a time for us to have the faith
to go in and possess our promises.
And what's interesting is that 85,
as in the year 57, 85,
is not only the age Joshua and Caleb were
when they went in to take the land,
but the Hebrew word, betahom,
which is the word for trust equals 85.
So the generation that died in the wilderness
didn't trust God.
Only those who had the trust in God
went in and possessed the promises.
So we need to have the faith and trust
to face the giants, go in and take the land,
but also trust, like at the beginning of the year,
one of the things I said in my message
is that this is gonna be a year of change.
We're gonna see major change.
And part of that change is we're gonna see security
in America, like we've not seen it before,
and security in Israel,
because betahom not only means trust in biblical Hebrew,
it means security.
And so I said, you're gonna see this war in Israel
is gonna lead to a greater security,
though temporarily, right,
until the false antichrist comes for a season.
And so I believe God wants us to have the faith and trust.
The five of 57, 85,
had David defeat the giants with five smooth stones, right?
So God wants to give us the stone
to bring down the giants
and to possess the promise that he has for us.
And I wanna encourage everyone with that
to have boldness to go after the promise in this season.
Now, I think in terms of not only is there a war in the south,
but there's also this war in the north.
In the south, you've got Hezbollah.
I mean, in the south, you've got Hamas,
and in the north, you have Hezbollah, okay?
Both with the chaz in there, okay?
Now, this is very prophetic, very prophetic, okay?
And the reason why this is so prophetic
that I wanna be clear that I think we need to understand,
why is there a focus on Lebanon right now?
Because the war in Lebanon, as well as the war in Gaza,
is meant to awaken messianic expectation and hope
among Jewish people and among the nations.
What's interesting is that there's actually Israeli papers
with headlines talking about how these wars
that they're fighting are actually awakening
the spirit of the Messiah.
That's literally headlines in some Israeli papers.
Yeah, but the question is why?
Like, why are they saying war in Lebanon, war in the south?
Isn't the Messiah the one who brings peace?
How is this awakening the spirit?
How is, they see this literally as the key harbingers
to the coming of the Messiah.
Prophetically, why and how?
Isaiah 10 says this, okay, 1033.
Behold, the Lord of hosts, Adonais of Oat,
will lop off the branches of terror
so that the lofty ones will be cut down and laid low.
So here's the point.
Isaiah 10 is a prophecy against Lebanon.
And in this prophecy against Lebanon,
it says he will lop off the branches with terror
and the tall ones will fall and will be cut down.
Then it goes this, he will hack down the thickets
of the forest with iron and Lebanon will fall
by a mighty one.
In Hebrew, it's,
it says Lebanon will fall by a mighty one.
Adir ye pole, it says Lebanon will fall by the Adir.
Here's the crazy thing.
What does that mean?
It literally means mighty one.
Israel is primarily attacking Lebanon with planes.
Their new F-35 is called what?
The Adir in Hebrew.
So literally Lebanon is falling by the Adir
as Isaiah 10, 34 prophesies.
Wow.
And he says he'll cut them down.
The mighty one, the Adir will cut them down.
And that's literally the planes that are,
primary planes that are involved.
And he says the forest with iron.
Well, what's the name of this operation called?
Operation Iron Swords is the name of this operation
in Israel right now in the North.
It's right there in Isaiah chapter 10.
And these names of these operations
are randomly generated by computers.
It wasn't like someone read this passage and said,
oh, this reminds us of Isaiah chapter 10, right?
They have a system that randomly generates the name.
Really?
I just thought that somebody was coming up with,
I thought there was a genius with marketing
because these names seem to be really, really good actually.
No, they have a computer system that some,
and this is the Israel news headline.
The Spirit of Messiah wafts over Lebanon skies
and in Gaza and tunnels because they understand Isaiah 10.
But here's the thing.
The last verse of Isaiah 10 talks about Lebanon falling,
iron, the Adir.
But what's Isaiah 11, one, the famous verse.
We all know it.
A shoot will come forth from the stem of Jesse
and the branch will bear fruit out of his roots
and the spirit of the Lord will rest upon him.
So Isaiah 10 is the fall of Lebanon.
Isaiah 11 is the Messiah and the son of David coming
and establishing his kingdom.
So the fall of Lebanon and the coming of the Messiah
in Isaiah 11 are directly connected.
And that's why the rabbis are looking at this
and looking at what's happening in Lebanon,
tying it to Isaiah 11, one,
that it's time for the nets there,
the Messianic branch to come forth to bear its fruit
for the kingdom to come.
And they're seeing this and they're like,
hey, get ready, Messiah is on the way.
Wow.
I was not aware of that prophetic fulfillment
that is being happening right now.
I mean, I try to stay up to date on what's happening
according to end times prophecy the best way that I can,
but this is a new one to me, Rabbi Jason.
This is really powerful because what's happening
in Israel right now is they are awakening
to what God has been prophesying
and the coming of the Messiah.
Now we're looking at it as Jesus is coming back.
Yeah.
They missed him the first time,
but I love that whenever God speaks,
he speaks in layers and there's prophecy
can be fulfilled multiple times.
Absolutely.
It's not just a once and then, okay, that's done.
It's no, there's, it's not just typical.
There's layers, it's like an onion.
There's layers and layers and layers, yeah.
And it rhymes too.
History doesn't necessarily repeat itself, but it rhymes.
And so prophecy does as well.
And so they missed him the first time,
but he's coming around the second time,
and just, I talked to somebody earlier that,
God's gonna give you opportunities to learn your lesson
before you actually get into the promised land.
Yeah, it's kind of like school, right?
It's kind of like, it's God's grace because,
like our soul comes into this world
because God's training us.
He's preparing us.
He's training for reigning in a sense.
And the graciousness of God is that failure that,
when you fail the test,
it doesn't mean you failed the class.
He just lets you keep test,
taking the test over and over again,
until eventually you get wise enough
that you know how to pass it.
Yeah. Right?
And that's what the Jewish people,
most Jewish people near remnant,
received Yeshua as the Messiah.
But we know there's coming a day
when all Israel will recognize him,
at the return in preparation for the turn,
there would be a move of God among the Jewish people.
And this is what we're believing for.
This is what we're waiting for.
And I think that first it begins,
it's again, it's the whole analogy of Isaiah 11.
It says, a semit, a branch will sprout forth from the root.
Right?
It seems like a dead stump.
Then all of a sudden there's a little life
and a little branch comes out and it's just a little twig.
And eventually it grows into a big olive tree.
Well, this is the case.
Jewish people are recognizing, oh, Messiah is important.
It seems like this is what the Bible's talking about.
Seems like prophecy is beginning to be fulfilled.
It seems like we need to prepare ourselves
for the coming of the Messiah.
And eventually that will grow,
that little seed, that little dead stump is gonna grow
and people will truly recognize who this is talking about.
Yeah.
So ever since 1948,
when Israel officially became a nation again
in the promised land,
we've started to see prophecy fulfilling quickly,
quickly and more quickly.
The deserts are coming to life again.
The irrigation system in Israel is just amazing
that literally the weather patterns are starting to change
because the desert is coming back to life.
And it's kind of, it's just changing so much.
Yeah.
Then you have the Dead Sea.
I've heard that there are freshwater springs
that are coming up out of the Dead Sea.
And actually I've seen video of little fish in those areas.
And we're seeing the hills come alive again
and vineyards are in prophetic places.
So we're seeing all these things unfold before us.
And right now, as we're talking,
they're in preparation for a red heifer sacrifice.
Rabbi Jason, when you're seeing all these things
coming together with what you were just talking about
with Isaiah 11, with this red heifer sacrifice
that they're planning on,
what are you thinking about this?
And what is the average Israeli thinking with all this?
Look, I mean, the rabbis teach that
there were nine red heifers that were offered
and the 10th red heifer will be the one offered
before the coming of the Messiah.
So, and this would be the 10th.
So there's obviously this idea of,
and again, you've got Israelis on different places
on the spectrum, just like you do here in America
of different Christians on different areas of the spectrum.
But there's clearly a growing Messianic expectation, right?
They're training priests,
they're getting the vessels ready for the temple,
they're practicing sacrifices.
They have a modern day Sanhedrin
because the Messiah, someone can't be the Messiah
from a Jewish perspective unless the Sanhedrin
acknowledges him as the Messiah.
So all these things are taking place in preparation
for what is coming and there's an acceleration.
Now we talk a lot about this in our books that we write,
like mysteries of the Messiah is one of them.
And one of the interesting things
that we talk about in there,
we get into the numbers and the prophecies and all that.
But one of the interesting things about that,
we talk about how Jesus says, right?
Talks about the summer
and he connects the summer to his return
and the budding of the tree.
Well, what's interesting is that he connects summer
to his return, the Hebrew word for summer is the word kites
and it's connected to the word for end, kates.
So literally the end of days is from the same word as summer.
And when you think about it for a moment,
why is this so significant with the summer?
Again, we talk about it in our different books
like God's appointed times, mystery of the side,
because listen, seven biblical holidays,
three spring holidays, they were fulfilled
at the first coming of the Messiah,
dies as the Passover lamb, rises from the dead
as the first fruits, pours out a spirit on Pentecost
the same day the 10 commandments were given
is the same day the Holy Spirit was coming.
Then there's no holidays in the summer.
And then you have the first fall holiday,
Rosh Hashanah, the feast of trumpets,
that's the return of the Lord with the sound of the trumpets.
Day of atonement, salvation for Israel and the world,
Feast of Tabernacle, Sukkot,
establishment of the Messianic kingdom,
rejoicing living waters, rule and reign of the Messianic king.
So the point is this, there are no holidays in the summer.
So we've been living in the times between the first coming
and the second coming is the kites.
It is the summer season.
We're living at the end of summer.
The fall is about to come.
The Messiah is going to return with the sound of the shofar.
And that's what I believe.
He tells us to watch for the signs
and we see the signs and it's clear.
The train has left the station.
It's moving, it's picking up steam.
And we're not going back.
I mean, things might get better for a season,
God willing, the Trump presidency is amazing.
By the way, we talk about numbers.
The numerical value of Donald Trump
is the numerical value of Messiah son of David.
So the Messiah son of David, which is like, you know,
Jesus at his first coming came as the son of Joseph,
the one who was rejected,
like Joseph was rejected by his brothers.
So he came as the lamb of God.
When he returns, he's coming back as the son of David.
He's called the son of David in the New Testament.
It's a Messianic title.
Messiah son of David has the same numerical value as Donald Trump.
Not that Trump is the Messiah,
but that Donald Trump is going to play a key role
in the Messianic process that's going to hasten the Messiah.
Why?
Because we know the war of Gog and Magog,
Ezekiel 38, for example, talks about Israel dwelling
in security before this great war breaks out.
So all of these wars right now are ultimately meant
to bring about peace and security for a season.
I believe President Trump will help bring greater peace
and security stability to Israel, the Middle East,
the world, okay, for a season,
a key part of the Messianic process preparing the way
for the coming of the Messiah.
So there's all these connections.
I mean, they're endless.
We might have to do another interview about that
because that would just be fascinating
because there is so many things.
I know Trump is kind of like Isaiah 45, Cyrus,
that anointing, and I know that they gave him the Cyrus coin
after they moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,
really establishing Jerusalem in the eyes of the world
as the capital of Israel,
which was a huge prophetic symbolic act.
And I believe that that started the timeline again
in some areas, but we could have another conversation
about that at some point too.
But Rabbi Jason, as we are wrapping up here,
I wanna hear just kind of like,
what is the takeaway from this?
We've talked about the anachim, the nath-in-alim,
the hamas, and just the violence there,
but it needs to be expunged, got rid of,
but we as the people that are watching this interview,
we're here in the United States, most of us,
hopefully this does go around the world too,
but not everybody is in Israel
that can do something about this.
What can we as believers in Yeshua, Jesus, do with this?
I think there's a few things.
I think for every individual,
I think this is important to understand.
The reason why I think these details are significant,
because you could look at this and get overwhelmed
or get lost in the weeds or whatever.
Why do you go to that level of detail?
Why the nath?
Here's the point.
I think there's a lot of doubt
and a lot of fear in the world right now.
And I think there's a lot of hopelessness.
I think that when you see the intricacy
of how these things connect on so many levels,
how so that there's no way you can make up this stuff,
there's a beautiful symmetry to it
and how God told all of this thousands of years in advance.
One, it shows us God is in the details,
His word is true, it's gonna come to pass,
and therefore we don't need to live in fear.
God knew the end from the beginning.
That's part of the reason why He gives us prophecy,
so we don't go to a place of fear.
We stay in a place of faith and we understand,
okay, this has all got to play out.
It's all part of God's bigger plan.
But it's also meant us to give us hope,
because hope is in part the belief
that our future is gonna be better than our past.
But hope is rooted in knowing
that God is in control of the details
and it is His hand that is working out
every detail of history,
and therefore we should never be hopeless,
but have faith and have hope.
I also think that what it means is, listen, we need to pray.
We need to pray, we need to stand with Israel in prayer,
we need to stand with our nation in prayer,
and I think we need to understand that again,
we talk about being in this Hebrew year 57, 85,
the decade that we're in on the Hebrew calendar
is a decade of the pay.
It's the decade of the mouth.
There is power in our mouth, there is power in our pay.
We have to understand through prayer,
through testimony, through declaration,
through the prophetic word, through the prophetic promises,
these are all key to shifting nations
to partnering with God to bring His promises to pass,
which is something each and every one of us need to do
at this time and season.
Amen, amen.
Well, Rabbi Jason, thank you so much for taking the time
to share this wisdom and knowledge
and help peel back some of these layers of prophecy
and what God has hidden in the Bible.
Because I know that it is the glory of the Lord
to hide, to conceal a matter,
but it is the glory of kings to search it out.
Thank you for helping us search it out today.
Yeah, thank you so much. Lo and blessings.
