1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,280 Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith to Live By. 2 00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:08,280 I'm Pam Christian, the researcher, writer, producer, and host for this program. 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,740 My goal is to help us consider current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective 4 00:00:12,740 --> 00:00:17,180 so we can know how God wants us to respond as His children. 5 00:00:17,180 --> 00:00:22,320 I truly want to see more Christians live out their Christian faith and make a difference 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,020 in this world based on the wisdom and insight from God and the power and the authority Jesus 7 00:00:27,020 --> 00:00:29,140 has given us as His followers. 8 00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:35,880 We need to partner with God to see His Kingdom Will done on earth as it is in heaven. 9 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,640 Anyone alive today who has not figured out that we are living in a battle of good versus 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,580 evil, God versus Satan, which would include those who don't believe in the existence 11 00:00:45,580 --> 00:00:52,560 of God or Satan, are sure to have their philosophies and ideals completely blown up. 12 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,740 Based on what I've learned through study and prayer and from God's trusted prophets, 13 00:00:56,740 --> 00:01:01,560 the time of trouble God has been warning us about for nearly three and a half years is 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,560 here. 15 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,680 In fact, through Julie Green, God said the warnings will be no more because we have entered 16 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,720 the time He has been warning us about. 17 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,840 We are in the time of chaos, confusion, and darkness He has been telling us to prepare 18 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,580 for so that we will not be crippled by fear because we've heard God's explanation of 19 00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:28,240 what He is doing in the midst of the enemy's all-out evil efforts. 20 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,240 I'll be sharing a portion of Julie Green's word a little bit later in the program. 21 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,440 I started trying to help us gain understanding about events in the Middle East last week 22 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:43,040 with the caveat that there has been centuries of disinformation and unfounded claims, especially 23 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,300 about the ownership and rights to the land in the area. 24 00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:50,200 This makes it really difficult to be confident about truth. 25 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,680 This week I shared I'm here to help us discover pieces of the puzzle to try to fit the pieces 26 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,040 of the puzzle together as best we can. 27 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,440 I plan on continuing with that effort today as it relates to what mainstream media news 28 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,160 is referring to as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which itself is a misleading term 29 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,200 for a number of reasons. 30 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,800 What I bring you today will better identify the ancient conflict and help us understand 31 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,920 some of the modern history so we can see the underlying spiritual implications that impact 32 00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:24,880 all time and history and all the people of the world. 33 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,620 Based on what I've learned so far, I offer information for you to consider. 34 00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:33,900 In my opinion, the issue in the Middle East is not truly over geography. 35 00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:39,400 For goodness sakes, Israel is about the size of New Jersey, and history reveals many different 36 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,720 people groups have lived in that region. 37 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,080 The ongoing issue is ideological, with deep religious roots. 38 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,300 In one word, it's anti-Semitism. 39 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:54,860 This mindset is not limited to the Middle East, and by extension, it's not limited 40 00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:56,280 to Jewish people. 41 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,200 There are individuals all over the world throughout the centuries who are hostile toward Jews 42 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,080 and Christians. 43 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,440 If you look at history as presented in the Bible, which I'll help us do shortly, you'll 44 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,960 see there has always been two groups of people. 45 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,360 Those who acknowledge God and His ways, and those who reject God and His ways. 46 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:22,080 And those who reject God have always sought to overtake those who acknowledge God. 47 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,080 This is the work of Satan, who hates God and seeks to destroy all that is important to 48 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,080 God. 49 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,640 The Jews are God's chosen people, so they have always been a target of the enemy. 50 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:37,440 I invite you to read a paper titled, The Brief History of Anti-Semitism, using the link in 51 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,640 the show notes. 52 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,960 Anti-Semitism did not begin in the Nazi era, nor did it end with the close of World War 53 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,120 II. 54 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,840 Beginning with Cain and Abel, history reveals the conflict is from those who reject God 55 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,280 and His ways, towards people who acknowledge God and His ways. 56 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,720 Most people are careful to recognize that not all people who go by the same name or 57 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,600 identity maintain the same ideologies. 58 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,720 But oddly, those who have a deep-seated hatred for the Jews and extended to the Christians 59 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,320 don't think of people as individuals. 60 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,720 They consider only a group that they believe needs to be annihilated or at least opposed. 61 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,840 It is the same evil motivation that is driving those who seek a one-world government. 62 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:27,920 The leaders of the one-world government have openly expressed their very real concern that 63 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,840 Christians are the ones who stand in their way. 64 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:36,580 It's so perplexing that these people who are highly educated can on one hand acknowledge 65 00:04:36,580 --> 00:04:41,960 God exists, and on the other hand believe they can actually overcome God. 66 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:48,380 But again, history reveals people influenced by Satan have held to this belief many, many 67 00:04:48,380 --> 00:04:50,800 times over throughout time. 68 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,480 The recent atrocities in the Middle East have fueled all sorts of bigotry and claims, most 69 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,680 of which are not properly and fully considered. 70 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,160 So it is with great care that I try to help us learn the truth so we can in fact respond 71 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,920 as God wants us to in the face of this evil among us. 72 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:18,120 The barbaric atrocities committed against innocent people will not be unpunished. 73 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,840 Slaughter of the innocent will always be vindicated by God. 74 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,960 And as convoluted as history and claims are about the people groups involved, keep in 75 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,200 mind only God truly knows who are the innocent ones to be vindicated. 76 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,920 We must not be naive and overlook thousands of years of historical evidence about the 77 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:43,040 existence of people groups who are bent on evil, destruction, and death. 78 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,400 Neither should we be ignorant about the origin of evil, the one identified in the Bible as 79 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,520 Satan first known as Lucifer. 80 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:57,920 Satan who was a very high ranking angel created by God decided he wanted to overthrow God 81 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,480 and enticed about one third of all heavenly angels to join him. 82 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,920 At the moment they determined their rebellion, God immediately cast them out of heaven and 83 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,720 to the earth. 84 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,240 Angels are not omnipresent, they are not all powerful, they are not all knowing. 85 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560 They are finite beings. 86 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,900 Evil angels get their power and authority as human beings yield the power of their own 87 00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:27,940 free will and authority over to the demons. 88 00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:32,800 When the first woman Eve and the first man Adam accepted Satan's narrative for what 89 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,240 God really meant when he instructed them not to take of the tree of good and evil, they 90 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,280 yielded their free will and authority over to Satan. 91 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:47,360 Satan influenced Adam and Eve to doubt God's words and intentions and ultimately reject 92 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,360 God. 93 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:54,980 And every human being born ever since has naturally inherited the same spirit of rebellion 94 00:06:54,980 --> 00:06:57,520 and enmity against God. 95 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,820 And I really think that bears repeating, every human being born ever since has naturally 96 00:07:03,820 --> 00:07:11,180 inherited the same spirit of rebellion and enmity against God without exception. 97 00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:16,040 In the light of current events it's of interest to note the Bible reveals God created Adam 98 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,680 and Eve in the area of the world that most agree was in the Middle East. 99 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,780 Pinpointing an exact location is impossible because of the changes in terrain over time. 100 00:07:25,780 --> 00:07:29,980 But Genesis does mention the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers. 101 00:07:29,980 --> 00:07:35,040 Based on this it could easily be said that sin of the world originated in the Middle 102 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,040 East. 103 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,620 However, the moment Adam and Eve confessed their sin with repentant hearts, God provided 104 00:07:41,620 --> 00:07:46,680 a way for them to be restored unto God by properly placing their faith in God's word 105 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,220 and intentions over and above the words of Satan. 106 00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:56,940 And from then until the end of all humanity, any person who wants to be restored into a 107 00:07:56,940 --> 00:08:02,780 right relationship with God can be simply by believing God exists, he is who he says 108 00:08:02,780 --> 00:08:08,220 he is, he has done what he has said he has done, and he will do what he says he will 109 00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:09,220 do. 110 00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:14,900 It's a matter of placing our faith in God's word, specifically the living word, Jesus 111 00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:20,540 Christ, who is the promised Redeemer for any and all who want to be rightly restored unto 112 00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:21,540 God. 113 00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:27,660 Satan is a deceiver and a liar who has intentionally misled people on matters of truth. 114 00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:32,860 Satan has convinced untold numbers of people that God is not good and that Satan is not 115 00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:33,860 evil. 116 00:08:33,860 --> 00:08:37,840 He has deceived people about the one true God. 117 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,340 This is the simple reduced truth of how evil flourishes in our world. 118 00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:48,060 Now this podcast will be a little longer than most because of the extreme intensity of our 119 00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:49,060 times. 120 00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:55,180 I want to impart to you as much truth as I possibly can so you can maintain the real 121 00:08:55,180 --> 00:08:59,980 and certain hope we have as believers in Jesus Christ. 122 00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:04,900 The Bible reveals the progression of evil and the geography where people who rejected 123 00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:06,620 God lived. 124 00:09:06,620 --> 00:09:11,700 The first two sons of Adam and Eve were Cain and Abel. 125 00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:16,740 Evil remained in Cain's heart, whereas Abel sought after God. 126 00:09:16,740 --> 00:09:21,640 The evil progressed in Cain to the point that he murdered his brother. 127 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,220 This is the first demonstration of Satan's influence over a human, driving them to be 128 00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:30,700 willing to commit murder and murder of his own brother. 129 00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:35,700 In response, God exiled Cain to the land east of Eden. 130 00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:40,100 As you read the Old Testament, you will learn of the continued population of the earth and 131 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,540 about the progress of evil among mankind. 132 00:09:43,540 --> 00:09:48,140 And you will see how God intervenes in the affairs of humanity to control the progression 133 00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:53,080 of evil, beginning with the great flood of Noah's day, which we read about in Genesis 134 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,460 chapter 6. 135 00:09:54,460 --> 00:10:00,560 In Genesis chapter 10, we learn of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and the lands 136 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:03,100 where their descendants settled. 137 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:08,980 This genealogical, geographical passage describes a process that covers a very long period of 138 00:10:08,980 --> 00:10:13,100 time as family clans migrated to particular regions. 139 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:19,560 Each of the three main parts conclude with a reference to clans, languages, and nations. 140 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:24,860 From Noah's son Japheth came descendants who comprised the coastland people of the nation. 141 00:10:24,860 --> 00:10:28,900 This would be the coastal regions and the islands of the Mediterranean Sea. 142 00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:34,380 Ham's descendants established the Kingdom of Babel in the land of Shinar, think Babylonians, 143 00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:37,660 and from that land they went on to establish Assyria. 144 00:10:37,660 --> 00:10:43,860 Ham's descendants produced many of Israel's enemies, such as the Egyptians, Babylonians, 145 00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:47,140 Philistines, and various Canaanite groups. 146 00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:53,860 Ham's sons established regions to the south and west of Egypt, Africa, and Mesopotamia. 147 00:10:53,860 --> 00:10:59,420 We also learn the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, as 148 00:10:59,420 --> 00:11:06,980 far as Gaza, then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admon, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 149 00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:12,420 Genesis 10 verse 32 sums up the long list of descendants stating, quote, These were 150 00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:17,540 the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations, and 151 00:11:17,540 --> 00:11:22,160 from these nations the nations were divided on earth after the flood. 152 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,040 Genesis chapter 11 describes events that actually occurred before the events listed in Genesis 153 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,460 chapter 10. 154 00:11:28,460 --> 00:11:33,180 It reveals how evil progressed in the heart of Noah's great-grandsons, who journeyed 155 00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:39,340 from the east to a plain found in the land of Shinar, where, by way of Nimrod, a son of 156 00:11:39,340 --> 00:11:45,740 Cush, it was decided to build a city and a tower through a unified humanity, using all 157 00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:51,540 of its resources, to establish a city that is the antithesis of what God intended when 158 00:11:51,540 --> 00:11:53,260 He created the world. 159 00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:59,100 The tower is a symbol of human autonomy, and the city builders see themselves as determining 160 00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:03,420 and establishing their own destiny without any reference to the Lord. 161 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:07,580 Isn't this the same evil plan of those seeking a one-world government? 162 00:12:07,580 --> 00:12:13,740 Yet, because of their defiant, rebellious ways, God scattered them abroad over the face 163 00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:19,420 of all the earth, an effort like the flood intended to diffuse progress of sin among 164 00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:21,900 all the people of the earth. 165 00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:26,820 Specific to the lands where people settled, we learn Noah's son Shem's lineage produced 166 00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:29,540 Abram, later named Abraham. 167 00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:34,820 In Genesis chapter 12, God instructs Abram, saying to get out of your country, from your 168 00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:38,540 family and from your father's house to a land I will show you. 169 00:12:38,540 --> 00:12:43,740 I will make you a great nation, I will bless you, and make your name great, and you shall 170 00:12:43,740 --> 00:12:45,140 be a blessing. 171 00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:51,660 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you, and in you all 172 00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:54,460 the families of the earth shall be blessed. 173 00:12:54,460 --> 00:12:58,980 In his journey with his wife and others, Abram came to the land of Canaan, and we read the 174 00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:03,820 Canaanites and the Perizzites were in the land at the time. 175 00:13:03,820 --> 00:13:09,580 In Genesis 11,7, God says, To your descendants I will give this land. 176 00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:13,780 Abram built an altar and moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, with Bethel 177 00:13:13,780 --> 00:13:16,940 on the west and I on the east. 178 00:13:16,940 --> 00:13:20,900 Genesis 13, Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan. 179 00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:25,900 Genesis 13, 14, God said to Abram, Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you 180 00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:34,080 are northward, southward, eastward, and westward, for all the land which you see I give you 181 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,860 and your descendants forever. 182 00:13:36,860 --> 00:13:41,200 And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could number 183 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,840 the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. 184 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,320 So Abram dwelt in the land. 185 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,180 From Genesis 14, we learn of the battle of four kings representing other people groups 186 00:13:52,180 --> 00:13:53,340 in the land. 187 00:13:53,340 --> 00:13:58,620 Genesis 15, we learn of the covenant God made with Abram and the prophecy God spoke over 188 00:13:58,620 --> 00:14:00,380 his descendants. 189 00:14:00,380 --> 00:14:06,300 Verse 18, God explains, To your descendants I have given this land, from the great river, 190 00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:14,900 the river Euphrates, the Canaanites, the Canaanites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, 191 00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:21,860 the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. 192 00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:28,060 In Genesis 16, we learn of Abram and Sarai conspiring to help God keep his promise, and 193 00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:33,180 they agreed that Sarai's Egyptian maid servant Hagar would sleep with Abram to give him a 194 00:14:33,180 --> 00:14:37,020 child since Sarai had been unable to. 195 00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:42,380 Hagar conceived and then Sarai became jealous and treated Hagar harshly, harshly enough 196 00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:43,560 that she fled. 197 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:49,300 An angel of the Lord found Hagar, who instructed her to return to Sarai and said to her, I 198 00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:53,740 will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they cannot be counted. 199 00:14:53,740 --> 00:14:56,880 Behold you are with child, and you shall bear a son. 200 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,420 You shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction. 201 00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:07,780 He shall be a wild man, his hands shall be against every man, and every man's hand against 202 00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:08,780 him. 203 00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:12,900 And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. 204 00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:19,860 Genesis chapter 17 reveals how God appeared to Abram, explaining he intended Abram and 205 00:15:19,860 --> 00:15:24,720 Sarai to conceive and the son that they would have together would be the son of promise, 206 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,540 the son of the covenant. 207 00:15:26,540 --> 00:15:30,400 This is when God changed their names to Abraham and Sarai. 208 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,940 In verse 6 to 9 we read, I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and 209 00:15:36,940 --> 00:15:39,140 kings shall come from you. 210 00:15:39,140 --> 00:15:44,580 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you, in 211 00:15:44,580 --> 00:15:51,100 their generations, for an everlasting covenant to be God to you and your descendants after 212 00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:52,100 you. 213 00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:58,500 Also, I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, 214 00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:04,780 all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession, and I will be their God. 215 00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:10,420 And God said to Abraham, As for you, you shall keep my covenant and your descendants after 216 00:16:10,420 --> 00:16:13,140 you throughout their generations. 217 00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:18,980 Now please keep in mind the biblical Israel encompasses way more land than the present 218 00:16:18,980 --> 00:16:20,260 day Israel. 219 00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:23,760 If you'd like to see a map, use the link in the show notes. 220 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:29,540 Chapter 21 reveals the birth of Isaac to Abraham and Sarah, the second son from Abraham, who 221 00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:31,420 was the son of promise. 222 00:16:31,420 --> 00:16:36,380 However, both Ishmael and Isaac received a special blessing. 223 00:16:36,380 --> 00:16:41,900 To the mother of Ishmael, an angel of the Lord appeared and gave a very specific prediction 224 00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:43,620 about his descendants. 225 00:16:43,620 --> 00:16:48,580 The angel of the Lord said in part, He shall be a wild man, his hand shall be against every 226 00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:51,460 man and every man's hand against him. 227 00:16:51,460 --> 00:16:54,620 As a mother, that prediction would be very hard to hear. 228 00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:59,180 But the angel went on and said, And he shall dwell in the presence of all of his brethren. 229 00:16:59,180 --> 00:17:04,420 Well, this means the descendants of Ishmael will live in the same land as the descendants 230 00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:05,420 of Isaac. 231 00:17:05,420 --> 00:17:10,460 Ishmael bore 12 sons with his Egyptian wife and these people were collectively referred 232 00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:12,580 to as the Ishmaelites. 233 00:17:12,580 --> 00:17:18,300 The Bible reveals these people dwelt from Havala, the Indian Ocean, to Sir, just east 234 00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:21,020 of Egypt, towards Assyria. 235 00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:24,660 Many people believe that all the Arabs are descendants of Ishmael. 236 00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:26,820 However, this is not totally true. 237 00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:31,820 The term Arab classifies ethnic groups who are affiliated only because of their language 238 00:17:31,820 --> 00:17:33,060 and culture. 239 00:17:33,060 --> 00:17:39,440 The actual descendants of Ishmael depict only a small, ancestral minority of the Arabs. 240 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:45,540 To Abraham, the father of Ishmael and Isaac, the Lord Himself appeared and gave a very 241 00:17:45,540 --> 00:17:50,100 specific prediction about Isaac as the son of the covenant promise. 242 00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:55,580 In Genesis chapter 25, we learn of the families of both Ishmael and Isaac and that it was 243 00:17:55,580 --> 00:18:00,940 through Isaac that Jacob descended, whose name God later changed to Israel. 244 00:18:00,940 --> 00:18:05,180 From him, all Israelites or Jewish people descend. 245 00:18:05,180 --> 00:18:09,660 As summarized by the author of The Melting Pot, quote, there are many nations in the 246 00:18:09,660 --> 00:18:12,300 Bible who were related to the Israelites. 247 00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:16,500 Some of them were extremely distant, as far back as Noah, while others were second and 248 00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:22,180 third cousins, descendants from Hagar, Keturah, Lot, and Esau. 249 00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:27,220 Most of these tribes and nations worshipped different gods and had mostly negative relationships 250 00:18:27,220 --> 00:18:28,960 with the Israelites. 251 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,740 You must remember that even though these nations and tribes were loosely related to the Israelites, 252 00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:36,260 they were not part of the Abrahamic promise. 253 00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:40,900 As explained last week, the Jewish people were led by God to cross the Jordan River 254 00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:45,300 and enter into the promised land about 1000 BC. 255 00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:52,100 Jews occupied this land until Islam was formed in the year of AD 610, some 1600 years later. 256 00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:58,500 The Arabs took over most of the surrounding region by the year AD 636. 257 00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:05,140 However, during this time, not one group had full control over the Holy Land where Jews, 258 00:19:05,140 --> 00:19:08,540 Christians, and Muslims coexisted. 259 00:19:08,540 --> 00:19:13,700 In review from last week, Palestine is a region of geography. 260 00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:17,660 Palestine as a state or nation has never been officially established. 261 00:19:17,660 --> 00:19:23,260 In 1917, Britain was in control of the region and signed the region over to the Zionists, 262 00:19:23,260 --> 00:19:26,760 the Jews, as their official state. 263 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,300 This is when hostilities between Arabs who lived in the land and Jews began. 264 00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:36,540 But the Palestinian Arabs were not pushed out of the land, according to Joan Peters, 265 00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:42,220 author of From Time Immemorial, the Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine. 266 00:19:42,220 --> 00:19:47,620 Peters thought she would write a book about the Arabs who fled Palestine in 1948-49, when 267 00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:53,580 armies of Arab states attempted to destroy the fledgling state of Israel. 268 00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:59,820 With her research, Peters found in 1939, Winston Churchill challenged the common notion that 269 00:19:59,820 --> 00:20:04,980 Jewish immigration into Palestine had uprooted its Arab residents. 270 00:20:04,980 --> 00:20:10,600 To the contrary, according to Churchill, who stated, quote, So far from being persecuted, 271 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:16,420 the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied till their population has increased 272 00:20:16,420 --> 00:20:22,140 more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population, end quote. 273 00:20:22,140 --> 00:20:29,960 Drawing on census data before 1948, Peters pieced together Arab immigration into Palestine 274 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,260 and identified how the land area became populated. 275 00:20:33,260 --> 00:20:38,420 The Jews alone moved to the region known as Palestine for ideological reasons based on 276 00:20:38,420 --> 00:20:40,340 their religious beliefs. 277 00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:46,260 Arabs joined them in large numbers, from the first Aliyah in 1882 to the creation of Israel 278 00:20:46,260 --> 00:20:52,020 as a nation in 1948, attracted by the economic opportunities the European Jews brought with 279 00:20:52,020 --> 00:20:53,020 them. 280 00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:58,020 Quoting from Peters' book, The Arabs were moving into the very areas where Jewish settlement 281 00:20:58,020 --> 00:21:01,020 had receded them and was luring them. 282 00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:06,340 The return of Zionist Jews from all parts of the world to the land of their ancestors 283 00:21:06,340 --> 00:21:11,900 was a topic of nearly universal fascination, both positive and negative. 284 00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:18,100 Jewish immigrants came from all parts of the Middle East, including Turkey, Syria, Iraq, 285 00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:24,620 Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Yemenis, Egypt, Sudan, and Libya. 286 00:21:24,620 --> 00:21:30,860 The Jews in Palestine initiated economic activities that created jobs and wealth on a level far 287 00:21:30,860 --> 00:21:34,140 beyond that of any of the indigenous peoples. 288 00:21:34,140 --> 00:21:39,340 The conventional picture has it that Jewish immigrants bought up Arab properties, forcing 289 00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:45,060 the former owners into unemployment, when in reality the Jews created new opportunities 290 00:21:45,060 --> 00:21:48,580 which attracted immigrants from distant places. 291 00:21:48,580 --> 00:21:54,460 Peters explains that Arabs benefited economically so much by the presence of the Jewish settlers 292 00:21:54,460 --> 00:21:58,540 from Europe that they traveled hundreds of miles to get closer to them. 293 00:21:58,540 --> 00:22:04,220 This historical fact reduces the Palestinian Arabs' claim to the land of Israel. 294 00:22:04,220 --> 00:22:09,260 It also reinforces the point that the real problem in the Middle East has little to do 295 00:22:09,260 --> 00:22:11,820 with Palestinian Arab rights. 296 00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:17,940 So this takes us back to the reason for the Palestinians leaving the region in 1948. 297 00:22:17,940 --> 00:22:23,780 Due to the Nazi Holocaust which engulfed millions of Jews in Europe, the re-establishment of 298 00:22:23,780 --> 00:22:30,340 the Jewish state in 1948 was to solve the problem of Jewish homelessness by opening 299 00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:37,780 the gates to all Jews and lifting the Jewish people to equality in the family of nations. 300 00:22:37,780 --> 00:22:43,180 With the world's recognition of Israel as a state, the response of the Arabs was an 301 00:22:43,180 --> 00:22:46,260 attempt to destroy the fledgling state of Israel. 302 00:22:46,260 --> 00:22:48,620 The result was a war. 303 00:22:48,620 --> 00:22:54,860 The official United States records state, quote, the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when 304 00:22:54,860 --> 00:23:01,900 five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian Mandate immediately following 305 00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:08,340 the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948. 306 00:23:08,340 --> 00:23:12,220 The link to that official document is in the show notes. 307 00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:18,620 Israel defended its right to exist by fighting back the Arabs who opposed Israel's existence. 308 00:23:18,620 --> 00:23:22,780 The war ended in 1949 with Israel's victory. 309 00:23:22,780 --> 00:23:29,180 About 750,000 Palestinians were displaced and the territory was divided into three parts, 310 00:23:29,180 --> 00:23:33,100 the state of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. 311 00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:39,180 The Arab view of their departure is that the Palestinians were expelled by Zionist forces 312 00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:46,040 and that the Exodus of 1948 was the fulfillment of a long-held Zionist dream to ethnically 313 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,620 cleanse Palestine so that the land could be transformed into a Jewish-majority state. 314 00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:56,340 The Israeli view of the war is that they had every right to defend themselves. 315 00:23:56,340 --> 00:24:01,100 Enemies of the established nation of Israel had to be driven out for there to be any peace 316 00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:02,100 in the land. 317 00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:07,660 It had absolutely nothing to do with ethnic cleansing, evidenced by the decades upon decades 318 00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:10,220 of their peaceful coexistence. 319 00:24:10,220 --> 00:24:16,540 From all of this, we have all sorts of claims that, in my opinion, only reinforce the truth 320 00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:22,700 that the Arab-Israeli conflict is truly not about land, but about religious ideologies. 321 00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:28,580 Over the years, the enemy of God has intensified the hatred in the hearts of men who do not 322 00:24:28,580 --> 00:24:32,480 acknowledge God of the Bible against those who do. 323 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,340 If you're interested in learning more about the ancient Arab-Israeli conflict, I recommend 324 00:24:37,340 --> 00:24:41,900 Amir Tsarfati's teaching video, The Deception of the Nations. 325 00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:47,420 Amir also provided a lengthy video on October 21st answering many of the questions the world 326 00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:52,460 has had about the recent attack by Hamas and the lack of IDF response. 327 00:24:52,460 --> 00:24:55,180 I highly recommend you watch that too. 328 00:24:55,180 --> 00:25:00,420 In a nutshell, Israel got intelligence that Hezbollah would be invading from the north. 329 00:25:00,420 --> 00:25:06,020 In response, they pulled troops from the Gaza Strip and sent them to the north. 330 00:25:06,020 --> 00:25:11,820 According to Amir, the IDF did not get advance warning from Egypt, as several headlines 331 00:25:11,820 --> 00:25:13,380 have stated. 332 00:25:13,380 --> 00:25:17,860 Because Hamas had been shooting off practice missiles in recent days, the sounds of rockets 333 00:25:17,860 --> 00:25:21,540 and short-range mortars were overlooked as no threat. 334 00:25:21,540 --> 00:25:26,460 While Israel was concentrating on the north, Hamas managed to kill all of the remaining 335 00:25:26,460 --> 00:25:32,540 IDF soldiers at the Gaza Strip, shoot out the cameras and more, leaving IDF with no 336 00:25:32,540 --> 00:25:36,300 communications to know what was actually taking place in the south. 337 00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:41,140 At this point, Hamas entered the territory with hang gliders and weaponry to the field 338 00:25:41,140 --> 00:25:45,500 where the music festival took place, attended solely by civilians. 339 00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:50,460 Apparently, this festival attracts people from all over the world, so clearly not all 340 00:25:50,460 --> 00:25:51,540 were Jewish. 341 00:25:51,540 --> 00:25:55,460 They estimate some 15 different nationalities were present. 342 00:25:55,460 --> 00:26:01,540 Amir stated that all he has personally seen in wars and all he has studied, the atrocities 343 00:26:01,540 --> 00:26:07,380 committed against these innocent people are unlike anything he has ever seen. 344 00:26:07,380 --> 00:26:13,100 In addition to attacking the over 8,000 innocent citizens at the music festival, Hamas invaded 345 00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:19,540 Israeli settlements and pulled civilians out of their homes where they were tortured, raped, 346 00:26:19,540 --> 00:26:22,260 killed and more. 347 00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:27,460 Hamas had detailed maps of the towns and the villages from the intelligence given them 348 00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:33,380 by Palestinian civilians who had been allowed by Israel to work in Israel in a humanitarian 349 00:26:33,380 --> 00:26:37,580 effort to help with the deplorable living conditions the Palestinians have in their 350 00:26:37,580 --> 00:26:38,580 region. 351 00:26:38,580 --> 00:26:44,100 While they came to Israel to work and have support for their families, they were spying 352 00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:47,460 on the areas and reporting back to Hamas. 353 00:26:47,460 --> 00:26:52,860 While Hamas was invading these two civilian areas, they simultaneously invaded Israeli 354 00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:54,500 military bases. 355 00:26:54,500 --> 00:27:00,540 Then, after committing all they did and believing they had a victory in Israel, Hamas opened 356 00:27:00,540 --> 00:27:06,780 the border walls even more and allowed any citizen who wanted to, to come in and also 357 00:27:06,780 --> 00:27:09,980 experience the victory high. 358 00:27:09,980 --> 00:27:15,260 Countless numbers came in armed with knives, axes and more who then carried out all the 359 00:27:15,260 --> 00:27:17,300 evil they could think of. 360 00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:21,940 Having learned about this, my comments last week about believing most Palestinian people 361 00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:26,460 are not supportive of Hamas, I have to go on record that I no longer have that point 362 00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:27,740 of view. 363 00:27:27,740 --> 00:27:33,540 After what is now 18 days of this Hamas-instigated war, I've learned there is no such thing 364 00:27:33,540 --> 00:27:36,500 as a neutral or uninvolved Palestinian. 365 00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:42,620 As I see it, they support the ideology of Hamas, which is to carry out genocide against 366 00:27:42,620 --> 00:27:43,620 the Jews. 367 00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:49,020 I watched Amir's video on YouTube and he explained in many details the kinds of evil 368 00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:53,800 that was committed, and I personally cannot bear to report it here. 369 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,320 He also said that while they were committing the horrendous acts, they were using their 370 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:04,000 cell phones to capture the carnage and celebrate it all over social media. 371 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,260 This is what has allowed the IDF to identify every single person involved with plans to 372 00:28:09,260 --> 00:28:10,420 go after them. 373 00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:15,980 Amir said anyone who wants to see for themselves what actually occurred can view more on his 374 00:28:15,980 --> 00:28:17,660 Telegram channel. 375 00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:22,300 He also stated that Israel has never published such videos in the past out of respect for 376 00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:23,740 the survivors. 377 00:28:23,740 --> 00:28:28,460 But in this case, they want people to see what the actual actions of Hamas and Palestine 378 00:28:28,460 --> 00:28:35,300 citizens were so the world can know it was Hamas and not Israel committing the atrocities. 379 00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:38,560 Amir's Telegram channel is also in the show notes. 380 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,900 Then again, on October 23rd, Amir provided another update. 381 00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:48,900 It's very, very difficult to learn what is truly happening, but we must be informed. 382 00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:55,860 Make no mistake, Iran is orchestrating the war, and the war is on four fronts now, Lebanon, 383 00:28:55,860 --> 00:28:59,700 Syria, and Iraq from the north and Yemen in the south. 384 00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:05,000 What Iran had planned for over two years did not play out as they intended. 385 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:11,380 Their plan was to strike from all four fronts at the same time, but Hamas was too quick. 386 00:29:11,380 --> 00:29:16,900 Just as we've learned to suspect that anything our mainstream news reports, the opposite 387 00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:21,820 is actually true, so it is with the reports coming out about the events in Israel. 388 00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:27,500 It was all over mainstream media that Israel bombed a hospital, when in reality it was 389 00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:32,020 Hamas, which mainstream media was later forced to admit. 390 00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:36,820 There is so very much we need to know, so I'm asking you to please use the links in 391 00:29:36,820 --> 00:29:42,360 the show notes to hear from Amir, who is a proven, trustworthy Christian representative 392 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,700 from Israel. 393 00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:48,260 But to close this episode with some encouraging words, let me bring your attention to the 394 00:29:48,260 --> 00:29:54,300 prophecies and teachings given by Amanda Grace, Dutch Sheets, and Tim Sheets, and one I already 395 00:29:54,300 --> 00:29:56,860 mentioned through Julie Green. 396 00:29:56,860 --> 00:30:01,260 Interviewed by Steve Schultz on Elijah Streams, Tim Sheets stated, we are living in the most 397 00:30:01,260 --> 00:30:03,920 defining moment of our lifetimes. 398 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:09,740 He shared, Jesus is expecting his church to define this moment that he has given us kingdom 399 00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:12,860 keys to use on heavenly doors. 400 00:30:12,860 --> 00:30:17,660 Number two, this is the Hebrew year of 5784, which is the year of the door. 401 00:30:17,660 --> 00:30:23,460 Tim encourages us to partner with God and release his angels to do God's will. 402 00:30:23,460 --> 00:30:28,940 He admonished us that we are not here to hold up against hell until Jesus returns. 403 00:30:28,940 --> 00:30:33,420 No, we are here to advance God's kingdom on earth. 404 00:30:33,420 --> 00:30:36,960 We are to speak to these evil times and define it. 405 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,340 Tim said, everything has come to a head. 406 00:30:39,340 --> 00:30:44,540 The iniquity of demonic thrones and darkness has reached its full, like the iniquities 407 00:30:44,540 --> 00:30:51,060 of the Malachites, at which point God instructed Joshua to take the promised land. 408 00:30:51,060 --> 00:30:56,460 As the Ecclesia, we are to rise up with boldness as never before. 409 00:30:56,460 --> 00:31:01,460 Tim also referenced a prophetic word he received in June of this year where God clearly warned 410 00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:06,140 that a serious shaking was coming that he believes has now come. 411 00:31:06,140 --> 00:31:11,820 He heard God say, I will deal with the oppressors of my people, and I will now deal swiftly 412 00:31:11,820 --> 00:31:13,820 with jealous aggression. 413 00:31:13,820 --> 00:31:21,240 He shared that a very fierce war season has begun, entirely agitated by the demonic realm. 414 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:27,360 But he promised God's people will receive fresh power and fire from the Holy Spirit. 415 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,260 God has opened the angel gate over us and we are to walk through the war gate to be 416 00:31:32,260 --> 00:31:37,860 a coalition of forces for God's kingdom that nothing will stop the great harvest of souls 417 00:31:37,860 --> 00:31:40,900 God has planned for these days. 418 00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:45,340 Dutch Sheetz explained that Satan is trying to stop the great harvest of souls that has 419 00:31:45,340 --> 00:31:47,360 been long prophesied. 420 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:53,780 He explained the Israeli conflict is spawned by demons to increase international unrest. 421 00:31:53,780 --> 00:31:58,300 He believes even the delay for our Speaker of the House is all tied to what is going 422 00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:00,380 on in the spiritual realm. 423 00:32:00,380 --> 00:32:04,580 Amanda Grace had a two-part video called Israel at War. 424 00:32:04,580 --> 00:32:08,980 I highly recommend you watch these so I've provided the link for you in the show notes. 425 00:32:08,980 --> 00:32:13,220 Now I want to share with you some of the audio from the Word God had through Julie Green 426 00:32:13,220 --> 00:32:22,260 on October 19th, 2023. 427 00:32:22,260 --> 00:32:30,340 Try the Lord this day, I'm telling my children, this is a time of chaos, this is a time of 428 00:32:30,340 --> 00:32:38,280 great distraction, this is part of your enemy's ultimate plan, a plan of great destruction 429 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:47,140 worldwide, great distractions worldwide, war worldwide. 430 00:32:47,140 --> 00:32:55,620 This is their plan to take you out once and for all, to bring all nations to their knees, 431 00:32:55,620 --> 00:32:59,780 to destroy any type of freedom that you had left. 432 00:32:59,780 --> 00:33:04,560 This is their moment that they have been waiting for. 433 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,260 This is the time that they were going to take out my eagle once and for all. 434 00:33:09,260 --> 00:33:14,340 They were using this with bringing people across your border. 435 00:33:14,340 --> 00:33:16,700 That's part of their kill shot. 436 00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:22,860 They were bringing it by laws they were passing, by money they were funneling to nations around 437 00:33:22,860 --> 00:33:24,600 the world. 438 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,780 They were giving money to your enemies. 439 00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:31,980 They've been propping up on purpose your economies. 440 00:33:31,980 --> 00:33:32,980 Yes. 441 00:33:32,980 --> 00:33:37,540 The Ponzi scheme that they've had in place, the things they've done with the economy, 442 00:33:37,540 --> 00:33:42,900 they've propped it up from it falling time and time again because they weren't ready. 443 00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:47,460 They didn't have their money every place and they wanted it because of greed and the 444 00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:49,580 love of money they want more. 445 00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:53,380 They wanted more and they wanted to take more from you. 446 00:33:53,380 --> 00:33:59,740 They wanted to cause a crash, oh, so much more devastating and so much worse than the 447 00:33:59,740 --> 00:34:00,740 time of the Great Depression. 448 00:34:00,740 --> 00:34:07,100 That was like a cakewalk, you would say, for what they were about to bring upon this earth 449 00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,020 with the economy. 450 00:34:09,020 --> 00:34:13,060 This was the time to bring in their global government. 451 00:34:13,060 --> 00:34:15,060 This was their time to bring in their reset. 452 00:34:15,060 --> 00:34:22,020 This was their time to bring down the nations, my nations of Israel and the United States 453 00:34:22,020 --> 00:34:25,980 of America once and for all. 454 00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:26,980 Watch Iran. 455 00:34:26,980 --> 00:34:30,460 Yes, they are speaking loudly. 456 00:34:30,460 --> 00:34:34,980 They are shouting and they are saying what they are going to cause around the world. 457 00:34:34,980 --> 00:34:41,140 But they don't see me and the destruction that they are about to endure on their own 458 00:34:41,140 --> 00:34:44,020 land and in their own lives. 459 00:34:44,020 --> 00:34:49,580 Yes, I am bringing great destruction to that nation. 460 00:34:49,580 --> 00:34:55,840 I am bringing great destruction and you are about to see me and what I do to Hamas. 461 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:01,020 No one touches my nation of Israel and gets away with it. 462 00:35:01,020 --> 00:35:07,420 I am showing Benjamin Netanyahu and all who are with him, the traitors that are amongst 463 00:35:07,420 --> 00:35:11,180 them, the traitors that allowed these things to take place. 464 00:35:11,180 --> 00:35:20,780 And another traitor, I will show their face in your government, oh United States, paid 465 00:35:20,780 --> 00:35:29,100 for that chaos, paid for that distraction, paid for that war. 466 00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:32,540 That same face that I am about to reveal. 467 00:35:32,540 --> 00:35:39,940 Yes, and unmasking is about to take place of all the ones in your government. 468 00:35:39,940 --> 00:35:44,260 The ones who gave your nation's secrets away. 469 00:35:44,260 --> 00:35:50,260 The ones who are cheering for your destruction as they speak on your behalf, as they act 470 00:35:50,260 --> 00:35:57,100 like they are trying to protect this nation when really they want to see it fall. 471 00:35:57,100 --> 00:36:03,580 Many traitors amongst you in the land of my eagle, many traitors in your government and 472 00:36:03,580 --> 00:36:07,260 I will show and reveal the traitors in your Supreme Court. 473 00:36:07,260 --> 00:36:13,220 I will reveal the traitors in the Pentagon, I will reveal the traitors everywhere. 474 00:36:13,220 --> 00:36:18,180 All the three letter agencies, there are traitors amongst you. 475 00:36:18,180 --> 00:36:27,180 But for I the Lord have spoken and I have said before, I have infiltrated the infiltrators. 476 00:36:27,180 --> 00:36:32,740 And as they bring more chaos, and as they bring more disruption, as they bring more 477 00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:41,180 confusion, as they bring more darkness, I have set up traps and great judgment will 478 00:36:41,180 --> 00:36:43,140 they endure. 479 00:36:43,140 --> 00:36:46,980 They will not get away from the judgment that is about to take place against them. 480 00:36:46,980 --> 00:36:51,620 In this nation and against all of them nationwide. 481 00:36:51,620 --> 00:36:55,380 My children I have told you about this time and I have warned you to brace for impact. 482 00:36:55,380 --> 00:36:58,060 Something big is on the horizon. 483 00:36:58,060 --> 00:37:05,180 Now I will say this again firmly, there is nothing to fear for the children of the most 484 00:37:05,180 --> 00:37:06,740 high God. 485 00:37:06,740 --> 00:37:14,180 I am the ultimate defender and I am the ultimate protector. 486 00:37:14,180 --> 00:37:19,820 So do not fear what you are about to see because your enemies are about to flee. 487 00:37:19,820 --> 00:37:25,420 I am standing guard protecting you, my children. 488 00:37:25,420 --> 00:37:30,460 And I am between your enemies and you. 489 00:37:30,460 --> 00:37:32,140 I will not fail. 490 00:37:32,140 --> 00:37:34,620 I will deliver. 491 00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:39,660 And I will bring up this nation stronger than it ever was before. 492 00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:43,660 There will be no death to my eagle, but it will live. 493 00:37:43,660 --> 00:37:47,620 It will thrive and it will soar like never before. 494 00:37:47,620 --> 00:37:52,220 I am bringing my David back as I have promised. 495 00:37:52,220 --> 00:37:55,580 But not how you think. 496 00:37:55,580 --> 00:38:03,820 I am about to do something that no eye has ever seen and no ear has ever heard. 497 00:38:03,820 --> 00:38:11,140 I am bringing back my David in a way that has never been done before. 498 00:38:11,140 --> 00:38:14,460 Don't look to your elections to save you. 499 00:38:14,460 --> 00:38:17,020 I have warned you of this before. 500 00:38:17,020 --> 00:38:20,380 I will save you. 501 00:38:20,380 --> 00:38:26,780 Many things will happen before this upcoming election that will bring much shock and awe. 502 00:38:26,780 --> 00:38:28,060 Prepare. 503 00:38:28,060 --> 00:38:33,620 Prepare this day because I will have my way. 504 00:38:33,620 --> 00:38:40,140 God save the Lord. 505 00:38:40,140 --> 00:38:46,780 We are truly living in the most intense times the world has ever seen and God has appointed 506 00:38:46,780 --> 00:38:52,160 that we are to be alive, to witness and partner with Him through it all. 507 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,620 I hope to have brought you some understanding about world events and to have encouraged 508 00:38:56,620 --> 00:38:57,860 you today. 509 00:38:57,860 --> 00:39:03,600 As we are being graced to live in peace and safety where we are, let us not fail to use 510 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:09,620 our time and abilities to partner with God and pray for those who are suffering in this 511 00:39:09,620 --> 00:39:10,900 war. 512 00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:16,320 There still is a lot of misinformation making it hard to know what to believe, but we know 513 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:22,620 evil is real and unimaginable atrocities have been and continue to be committed against 514 00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:23,860 the innocent. 515 00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:29,100 Let us decree and declare according to God's will and word for the peace and safety for 516 00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:34,940 all God's people everywhere and to make a point of drawing exceedingly near to Him for 517 00:39:34,940 --> 00:39:40,700 those who are yet to repent to do so without delay and for the supernatural comfort and 518 00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:45,420 deliverance of the Holy Spirit to those who are suffering. 519 00:39:45,420 --> 00:39:50,220 Next week I plan on providing more about the Arab-Israeli conflict to help us remain in 520 00:39:50,220 --> 00:39:55,380 faith and not fear as events around us become even darker. 521 00:39:55,380 --> 00:40:00,740 Now because of the length of today's podcast, I won't share my usual list of affiliates. 522 00:40:00,740 --> 00:40:05,700 I do ask, however, for you to join me in the vision for this podcast to reach many more 523 00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:06,980 people. 524 00:40:06,980 --> 00:40:08,900 Share this podcast with others. 525 00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:13,560 Consider supporting me through getting the goods and services available from my affiliates. 526 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,780 Consider my award-winning books for Christmas gifts. 527 00:40:16,780 --> 00:40:22,180 There are so many ways we can partner in this effort together, and I thank you for listening 528 00:40:22,180 --> 00:40:25,540 and for considering offering whatever support you can. 529 00:40:25,540 --> 00:40:29,700 Information is always available in the show notes about my affiliates and ways you can 530 00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:31,340 show your support. 531 00:40:31,340 --> 00:40:36,740 Until next week, I'm Pam Christian, reminding you, Christ died for us. 532 00:40:36,740 --> 00:40:53,100 The least we can do is live for Him.
