WEBVTT 00:00:01.250 --> 00:00:03.549 Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith 00:00:03.549 --> 00:00:06.809 to Live By. I want to thank you for letting me 00:00:06.809 --> 00:00:09.470 be among those you glean from in your effort 00:00:09.470 --> 00:00:12.230 to make sense out of this world. I take very 00:00:12.230 --> 00:00:15.289 seriously my role as a true advocate for you, 00:00:15.669 --> 00:00:17.989 and with the tremendous amount of emotional information 00:00:17.989 --> 00:00:20.530 flying through the internet and mainstream media, 00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:23.649 I have to tell you, working to keep up with everything 00:00:23.649 --> 00:00:25.649 that's been reported relating to the Israel and 00:00:25.649 --> 00:00:28.339 Iran conflict, determining what is genuine and 00:00:28.339 --> 00:00:30.839 what is not, deciding what is pertinent for this 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.600 particular podcast, what is not, which of course 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.159 is to always have us consider current world events 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.219 from a biblical and prophetic perspective so 00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:40.859 we as God's children can know how he wants us 00:00:40.859 --> 00:00:43.859 to respond. Well this past week it's been probably 00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:47.020 the most taxing for producing this podcast than 00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:49.479 nearly any other week in the five years I've 00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.780 been doing this. As hinted today's topic is about 00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:55.719 the 12 -day war between Israel and Iran. that 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.280 has gripped the world over the past few days 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.579 and wanting very much to bring you special encouragement, 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.599 I'll start by playing the opening comments and 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.900 prayer from Amir Tsarfati's special report posted 00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:23.540 on Tuesday, June 24th, 2025. Shalom, everyone, 00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:26.060 and good evening from Connecting Galilee. I'm 00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:29.959 Amir Tsarfati, and this is a special update on 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.280 the war between Israel and Iran, or may I say 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.060 the end of the war between Israel and Iran, a 00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:41.079 war that lasted exactly 12 days with the craziest 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.640 72 hours since the night between Saturday and 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.640 Sunday, all the way until today. Unbelievable 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.140 roller coaster of events. starting with the U 00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:58.159 .S. decoy operation that eventually led to a 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.980 U .S. strike on the three most important nuclear 00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:05.859 sites of Iran. And then, of course, came the 00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:11.620 Iranian response last night in Qatar. And of 00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:15.719 course, the surprising, very quick announcement 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.379 of President Trump that there is going to be 00:02:18.379 --> 00:02:20.939 a ceasefire that starts at 7 a .m. this morning, 00:02:21.139 --> 00:02:23.900 Israel time. Of course, there was a violation. 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.979 Of course, Israel responded. A lot has happened, 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.300 but now everything is calm. And it seems to me 00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:35.960 that this ceasefire is gonna hold and that the 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.580 other side is very much deterred. Let's pray 00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:43.680 and start with this special update. Father, I 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.439 thank you for... who you are, the protector and 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.099 the shield for your people Israel. He who keepeth 00:02:51.099 --> 00:02:53.379 Israel neither slumbers nor sleep. You are the 00:02:53.379 --> 00:02:56.400 Holy One of Israel. You are the guard of Israel. 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:00.360 You are the shield of Israel. You set your guarding 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.560 angel over your nation, your people. So we thank 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.360 you and we bless you that we've seen miraculous 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.219 12 days in which we were able to fight. the most 00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:17.439 bitter enemy that we have in this region and 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.819 overpower them quite decisively and quickly. 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.319 We thank you for amazing, amazing intervention 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.479 from above, as most of the nation can witness. 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.659 We thank you again in Yeshua's name. Amen. So 00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:36.699 again, everyone, Shalom, I'm Amir Tsarfati. This 00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:40.539 is an Out of the Ordinary special update. about 00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:43.580 the end of the war between Israel and Iran, the 00:03:43.580 --> 00:03:49.139 12 days war, the rising lion operation that began 00:03:49.139 --> 00:03:54.860 with a surprise preemptive strike that took the 00:03:54.860 --> 00:03:58.360 Iranians by surprise in the first 10 minutes, 00:03:58.979 --> 00:04:04.699 eliminated the top nuclear scientists, the top 00:04:04.699 --> 00:04:09.009 brass of all of the four arms. of the military 00:04:09.009 --> 00:04:15.389 of Iran, as well as the destruction of the air 00:04:15.389 --> 00:04:19.509 defense system and the ready to launch long range 00:04:19.509 --> 00:04:23.550 ballistic missiles. And once we did that, Israel 00:04:23.550 --> 00:04:29.269 was working very hard within 48 hours to dominate 00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:34.069 the skies of Western Iran and the skies of the 00:04:34.069 --> 00:04:38.750 capital Tehran. And then, of course, came the 00:04:38.750 --> 00:04:44.149 obliteration of almost everything that Iran was 00:04:44.149 --> 00:04:48.389 storing, was working, was building and was developing 00:04:48.389 --> 00:04:51.529 in order to destroy Israel. Make no mistake, 00:04:52.129 --> 00:04:55.990 folks, Israel unveiled while we were finding 00:04:55.990 --> 00:04:58.670 things in Gaza, in the tunnels of Gaza, we found 00:04:58.670 --> 00:05:02.149 so many papers and correspondence between the 00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:07.800 Iranian operators and the handlers of... of the 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.920 Hamas from Iran, apparently not only that October 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:19.699 7th was heavily funded by the Iran, but we also 00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:23.500 found that there is another plan that by 2027 00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:29.639 Iran should once again deploy an amazing strike 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.839 simultaneously from all around using thousands 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.850 of ballistic missiles, drones. cruise missiles 00:05:37.850 --> 00:05:41.930 and to overwhelm the Israeli air defense and 00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:47.649 to strike the Israeli home front and then, of 00:05:47.649 --> 00:05:51.050 course, do what they know to do, to kill Jewish 00:05:51.050 --> 00:06:05.339 people. As I said, that was just the opening 00:06:05.339 --> 00:06:08.019 of Amir's special report. I recommend you hear 00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:10.819 the entire report using the link in the show 00:06:10.819 --> 00:06:13.720 notes. Amir said we've been on a roller coaster 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.980 ride of devastating live events with the potential 00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:19.860 of extreme ramifications affecting the entire 00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:23.040 world and the impact it has had on all of us 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.980 mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually 00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:29.079 means you must be searching for answers just 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.060 like I am. Well I've done my best to bring you 00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:34.819 the content for today's podcast with the goal 00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:37.620 of helping you learn the truth and then confidently 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:41.019 embrace all the hope genuine truth provides. 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.560 as you wake up and live each and every day forward. 00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:47.199 To start with, one of the things that struck 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.620 me this past week was how quickly people reacted 00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:53.420 to the news reports and then essentially lashed 00:06:53.420 --> 00:06:56.480 out with their opinions and points of view without 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.939 having all the facts. I'm actually quite saddened 00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:02.199 by this because it means that we have not learned 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.180 what we should have at this point requiring God 00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:08.300 to take us back through the lesson until we do 00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:11.889 learn it. I saw and I heard all sorts of opinions 00:07:11.889 --> 00:07:14.269 that sought to give rise to what some people 00:07:14.269 --> 00:07:17.329 were calling a civil war and serious division 00:07:17.329 --> 00:07:20.389 among President Trump supporters, much of which 00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:23.769 was fueled by fear, panic, and sheer ignorance 00:07:23.769 --> 00:07:26.689 that brought about considerable confusion and 00:07:26.689 --> 00:07:30.220 chaos. As I witnessed this unfold, I had to first 00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:33.360 question the people who were so supercharged 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.100 in this atmosphere if they were actually genuine 00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:38.899 Trump supporters or not. Maybe they were paid 00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:41.779 insurrectionists such as we've seen so many times 00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:44.139 starting with the January 6th event and even 00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:47.019 more recently with the No Kings protests. It 00:07:47.019 --> 00:07:50.019 seemed to me that the whole idea of a MAGA civil 00:07:50.019 --> 00:07:53.160 war was actually being promoted by the deep state 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.490 in an effort of causing division among us. And 00:07:56.490 --> 00:08:00.189 we can't let the deep state gain ground, especially 00:08:00.189 --> 00:08:03.790 at our expense. Benny Johnson also questioned 00:08:03.790 --> 00:08:06.670 the seemingly widespread fear with his opening 00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:10.149 a recent podcast citing how many people made 00:08:10.149 --> 00:08:13.610 fools of themselves, had public meltdowns, who 00:08:13.610 --> 00:08:16.910 were freaking out and panicked, debasing themselves 00:08:16.910 --> 00:08:20.670 and disavowing MAGA. As Benny pointed out, these 00:08:20.670 --> 00:08:23.550 people were actually warmongering on behalf of 00:08:23.550 --> 00:08:26.029 foreign nations and others who have openly and 00:08:26.029 --> 00:08:29.189 continually opposed President Trump, feeding 00:08:29.189 --> 00:08:32.789 and fueling their narrative. Well, I don't think 00:08:32.789 --> 00:08:35.730 true, awake MAGA supporters would do that, and 00:08:35.730 --> 00:08:39.029 if anyone did, please hear my words, realize 00:08:39.029 --> 00:08:42.549 your error, and get back on track. One voice 00:08:42.549 --> 00:08:45.190 of reason I've come to respect wrote on X, and 00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:49.149 I quote, MAGA is highly divided about this Iran 00:08:49.149 --> 00:08:51.950 -Israel situation with many different opinions 00:08:51.950 --> 00:08:55.590 and emotions flying around. I encourage everyone 00:08:55.590 --> 00:08:58.669 to stay calm and wait to see how this truly plays 00:08:58.669 --> 00:09:01.610 out without panicking. This is not something 00:09:01.610 --> 00:09:04.909 that can be judged clearly at the moment. I do 00:09:04.909 --> 00:09:07.070 not think that Trump will get us into another 00:09:07.070 --> 00:09:11.129 never -ending forever war. This is a 168 -hour 00:09:11.129 --> 00:09:15.539 wait rule rather than a 48 -hour wait rule. We 00:09:15.539 --> 00:09:19.000 need to see how Iran reacts as well as Israel. 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.940 Trump has gotten us this far and he's earned 00:09:21.940 --> 00:09:24.919 a lot of trust. That being said, I see a lot 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.279 of people saying you're not allowed to question 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:31.120 Israel, Trump, Iran, or any type of situation. 00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:35.919 But I disagree. Robust debate is warranted. There 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.960 are red pills available for each topic and we've 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.399 learned to think for ourselves all along the 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.299 way. At least I know I have. And I encourage 00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:47.179 all to think for themselves while also having 00:09:47.179 --> 00:09:51.299 faith and resisting the doom mentality. Wholeheartedly 00:09:51.299 --> 00:09:54.200 I still believe the best is yet to come, even 00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:00.039 in this fog of war." I also heard Tucker Carlson, 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.879 Ted Cruz, Charlie Kirk, Candice Owens, and others 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.039 all publicly take stands that truly surprised 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.379 me. Some of what they said proved a lack of knowledge 00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:14.230 and an undeniable bias. What I've learned over 00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:16.389 the years is when people have any level of prejudice 00:10:16.389 --> 00:10:19.470 or bias, it's often due to incorrect understanding 00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:23.289 of truth. When bias is closely tied to a person's 00:10:23.289 --> 00:10:26.070 emotions, it is especially difficult to have 00:10:26.070 --> 00:10:28.490 them reconsider what they believe to be true. 00:10:29.309 --> 00:10:32.289 So, when I ran across Laura Abboli's post, I 00:10:32.289 --> 00:10:34.629 was especially pleased, knowing I would share 00:10:34.629 --> 00:10:37.090 it with today's podcast. She did an excellent 00:10:37.090 --> 00:10:39.769 job of reminding us of President Trump's proven 00:10:39.769 --> 00:10:43.860 method negotiating. She called it Trump's playbook, 00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:48.480 Threat First, Deal Later. She wrote, quote, Trump 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.000 has a pattern. Threaten big, dominate the narrative, 00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:55.120 then pivot to deal making. Then she provided 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.679 examples of him dealing with several world leaders. 00:10:57.980 --> 00:11:01.700 For example, he called Kim Jong -un, little rocket 00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:04.940 man, warned of fire and fury like the world has 00:11:04.940 --> 00:11:08.639 never seen, and publicly threatened total annihilation. 00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:13.000 The outcome? summits, handshakes, personal letters, 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:18.419 no war, no regime change. Afghanistan. He threatened 00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:21.700 the Taliban with obliteration like never before 00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:25.399 after a U .S. soldier was killed. The outcome? 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.000 He negotiated with the Taliban and laid the groundwork 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:33.360 for United States withdrawal. Syria. After Assad's 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.649 alleged chemical weapon use, Trump launched missile 00:11:36.649 --> 00:11:39.649 strikes but carefully telegraphed them in advance, 00:11:39.889 --> 00:11:43.470 avoiding Russian or Iranian escalation. Despite 00:11:43.470 --> 00:11:46.929 rhetoric like animal assad and threats of more 00:11:46.929 --> 00:11:50.210 action, Trump avoided regime change or deeper 00:11:50.210 --> 00:11:54.950 involvement. Venezuela. He openly backed opposition 00:11:54.950 --> 00:11:58.549 leader Juan Cuauhto and threatened all oppositions 00:11:58.549 --> 00:12:02.620 are on the table against Maduro. Outcome? No 00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:06.440 US military action. Guadalajara faded and Maduro 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:11.200 remains in power. China. Trump raged over tariffs 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.000 and trade and COVID calling it the China virus. 00:12:15.340 --> 00:12:17.799 Threatening to cut ties and escalating rhetoric 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:22.120 to Cold War levels. Outcome. A rocky relationship 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.700 but no war. Trade deals followed. Again, fire, 00:12:27.139 --> 00:12:31.340 then a form of diplomacy. Then she writes, so 00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:35.100 what about Iran now? His regime change post and 00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:38.419 make Iran great again slogan could easily be 00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:41.879 part of the same strategy. Escalate rhetorically, 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.539 corner the opposition, reframe the dynamic, then 00:12:45.539 --> 00:12:50.820 offer a deal on his terms. End quote. I'm recording 00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:54.759 this podcast midday Tuesday June 24th after the 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.639 scare of the violation of the ceasefire between 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.620 Israel and Iran when calm and cautious celebration 00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:04.940 prevail. At a time when the whole concept of 00:13:04.940 --> 00:13:08.360 regime change is understood by many to be warranted, 00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.899 it is not anything the leadership of the United 00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:13.740 States under Donald Trump is planning to be part 00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:16.820 of. This should be good news to many who are 00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:19.720 very much aware of how historically common it 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:21.860 has been for the United States to be directly 00:13:21.860 --> 00:13:24.600 involved with regime changes. I learned that 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.460 from 1949 to 2014 the United States has been 00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:32.779 directly involved in 101 campaigns. Could it 00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:35.799 be that under Donald Trump the trend of interfering 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.000 with sovereign nations is ending? Given what 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.179 President Trump has said about his respect for 00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:44.679 the sovereignty of nations, I think so. General 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.559 Michael Flynn posted what he termed were three 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.799 necessary objectives for Israel to achieve, which 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:55.259 were, number one, an Iran without any nuclear 00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:59.580 weapons, number two, a regime change, and number 00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:02.519 three, the defeat of Iran's surrogate forces 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:06.059 which are Iran's proxies of Hamas, Hezbollah, 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:10.179 and Houthis. Expanding on regime change, General 00:14:10.179 --> 00:14:14.080 Flynn then wrote, quote, If Khamenei stays in 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.240 charge due to some negotiated peace deal, I personally 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.399 don't believe Israel can declare victory. Also, 00:14:20.580 --> 00:14:22.879 the declaration of unconditional surrender by 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.899 POTUS will have to be further defined if Khamenei 00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:30.659 is still in charge when this war ends. True regime 00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:34.019 change must come from the people of Iran. And 00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:37.779 a reminder, any regime change comes with massive 00:14:37.779 --> 00:14:40.549 challenges. If there were ever an opportunity 00:14:40.549 --> 00:14:43.269 in recent history for the people of Iran to rise 00:14:43.269 --> 00:14:48.500 against their regime, now is the time." I know 00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:50.340 there are those who don't understand why there 00:14:50.340 --> 00:14:52.899 would be any call for a regime change in Iran, 00:14:53.179 --> 00:14:56.399 so let me give some background on that. Amir 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.139 Sarfati provided a most reassuring video report 00:14:59.139 --> 00:15:02.460 today providing important historical facts. While 00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:05.080 the historical tension between Israel and other 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.539 Middle Eastern nations goes back thousands of 00:15:07.539 --> 00:15:10.639 years to Abraham's two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, 00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:13.220 the current tension started with a revolution 00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:18.139 and a hostage crisis. In 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini 00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:22.019 overthrew Iran's pro -Western monarchy and founded 00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:25.220 the world's first Islamic republic. He called 00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:28.779 America the Great Satan and Israel the Little 00:15:28.779 --> 00:15:32.399 Satan. That same year, his supporters stormed 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.759 the U .S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 American 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:40.860 hostages for 444 days. On day one, the goal of 00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:43.860 Ayatollah Khomeini was to bring down the West. 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.159 Khomeini accused the United States of corrupting 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.659 Iran with Western values, backing the Shah, who 00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:54.159 was the former leader of Iran, and stealing Iran's 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.679 oil. He believed America spread moral decay across 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.580 the Muslim world and that Israel was an extension 00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:03.970 of that power. That ideology still guides the 00:16:03.970 --> 00:16:07.250 regime's foreign policy today. The Islamic Republic 00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:32.299 has been attacking the West for decades. Iranian 00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:35.120 agents plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:41.080 in Washington DC 2024 Iran's proxies launch missiles 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.139 at US troops in Iraq and Syria and hit commercial 00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:50.759 ships in the Red Sea 2024 to 2025 US officials 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.059 uncover an Iranian plot to assassinate Donald 00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:58.110 Trump Iran has invested billions in building 00:16:58.110 --> 00:17:00.950 a deadly network of terror proxies across the 00:17:00.950 --> 00:17:04.789 Middle East. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and 00:17:04.789 --> 00:17:09.069 Islamic Jihad in Gaza, Houthis in Yemen, and 00:17:09.069 --> 00:17:13.089 Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria. Together they 00:17:13.089 --> 00:17:15.970 form a ring of fire around Israel and target 00:17:15.970 --> 00:17:19.369 United States forces, embassies, and allies. 00:17:19.970 --> 00:17:23.420 The Iranian regime has a global reach. Multiple 00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:25.579 sources, including the United States government, 00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:29.579 identify Iran as a leading state sponsor of terrorism. 00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:33.339 Iran's proxy infrastructure doesn't stop at the 00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:36.460 ring of fire. They've spent years building terrorist 00:17:36.460 --> 00:17:40.559 sleeper cells across Europe, Africa, South America, 00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:44.599 and inside the United States. They are ready 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.480 to act at the moment Tehran gives the order. 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.940 A state that sponsors global terror was about 00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:54.700 to have the world's deadliest weapon, and based 00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:57.880 on their hostility to all Western nations, they 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.700 wouldn't be interested in just threatening Israel. 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.059 It would blackmail the United States, intimidate 00:18:04.059 --> 00:18:07.400 Europe, trigger a regional arms race, and give 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.599 cover for future proxy wars with nuclear protection. 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.619 I recommend you watch Amir Tsarfati's complete 00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:17.339 video using the link in the show notes. For these 00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:20.180 reasons, world leaders of many countries and 00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:22.819 all the United States presidents over the past 00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:26.720 40 years have emphatically insisted that Iran 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.460 must not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.660 People who are wholly against the United States 00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:35.640 getting involved in Israel's recent efforts to 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.039 thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions need to understand 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:42.190 the reality of the whole matter. allowing nuclear 00:18:42.190 --> 00:18:46.170 proliferation among rogue regimes who have openly 00:18:46.170 --> 00:18:49.430 and repeatedly spoken and shown aggression to 00:18:49.430 --> 00:18:53.269 western nations is nothing short of sanctioning 00:18:53.269 --> 00:18:57.329 our own demise. Iran sympathizers with various 00:18:57.329 --> 00:19:00.349 reasons have argued claims have been made for 00:19:00.349 --> 00:19:03.630 40 years that Iran was close to having nuclear 00:19:03.630 --> 00:19:07.509 weapons but they never did. They assume the same 00:19:07.509 --> 00:19:11.289 is true for today. However, we have much evidence 00:19:11.289 --> 00:19:14.309 to the contrary including their own admission 00:19:14.309 --> 00:19:18.089 Reuters quoted a senior Iranian official stating 00:19:18.089 --> 00:19:21.309 quote if we have to choose between stopping uranium 00:19:21.309 --> 00:19:26.829 enrichment and war we choose war end quote also 00:19:26.829 --> 00:19:29.630 even after the US airstrikes over the weekend 00:19:29.630 --> 00:19:33.369 and after breaking the ceasefire agreement Iranian 00:19:33.369 --> 00:19:37.940 ambassador to the UN in Geneva Ali Baharini declared 00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:42.220 that Tehran will not renounce its right to nuclear 00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:45.559 energy. Baharini also condemned the United States' 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.160 airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites as a criminal 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:53.740 attack. As Amir Tsarfati said, the war may be 00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:57.039 over for now but the evil ideology to wipe Israel 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.000 and the United States off the face of the earth 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.660 remains. Based on Bible prophecy about the War 00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:06.720 of Gog and Magog that includes alignments with 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.940 Middle Eastern nations including Iran, Turkey, 00:20:10.339 --> 00:20:13.200 Syria, in partnership with Russia and China, 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:17.180 we know it will. Just considering the alliance 00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:20.720 of the BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, 00:20:21.019 --> 00:20:25.880 China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.599 the United Arab Emirates, and it's easy to see 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:32.130 all current world events are setting the stage 00:20:32.130 --> 00:20:36.349 for the war of Gog and Magog. When I watched 00:20:36.349 --> 00:20:39.190 the very upsetting Tucker Carlson interview of 00:20:39.190 --> 00:20:42.150 Senator Ted Cruz, I was saddened over a number 00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:44.710 of things, one being that Senator Cruz could 00:20:44.710 --> 00:20:47.609 not defend why God says in the Bible he will 00:20:47.609 --> 00:20:50.049 bless those who bless Israel and curse those 00:20:50.049 --> 00:20:53.190 who curse Israel. I provided a comment to the 00:20:53.190 --> 00:20:55.170 interview but then couldn't find where it was 00:20:55.170 --> 00:20:58.710 posted. I strongly believe every Christian needs 00:20:58.710 --> 00:21:01.349 to be able to defend the reasons for what we 00:21:01.349 --> 00:21:03.890 believe, which is why I have an online apologetics 00:21:03.890 --> 00:21:06.710 course that you really should check out. But 00:21:06.710 --> 00:21:09.009 here's the statement pretty close to what I posted 00:21:09.009 --> 00:21:13.150 on Tucker Carlson's page. Quote, when the Bible 00:21:13.150 --> 00:21:16.069 speaks of nations, it refers to groups of people 00:21:16.069 --> 00:21:19.410 based on how they are aligned in terms of the 00:21:19.410 --> 00:21:23.079 God they worship. There are sheep nations, people 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.460 who worship the creator God of the Bible, and 00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:28.420 there are goat nations, people who worship other 00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:32.299 gods. The nation of Israel didn't exist until 00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:35.559 God called it to exist through Abraham and his 00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.380 offspring. God expressed he wanted people to 00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:41.039 be realigned with him and promised to protect 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.640 them as his family. He also expressed those who 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.920 bless his family, the nation of his people, he 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.420 will bless. Conversely, those who curse his family, 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.420 the nation of his people, he will curse. Beginning 00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:57.740 with the Adamic covenant of redemption, which 00:21:57.740 --> 00:22:01.380 extended through the Abrahamic covenant of inclusion, 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.640 read the Old Testament, people who are not blood 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.099 to Abraham were allowed to join the family even 00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:11.759 then. Through the bloodline of Abraham, Isaac, 00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:14.880 and Jacob, whose name was later changed to Israel, 00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:20.140 people became aligned with God by faith in God 00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:24.240 and therefore were considered God's family. We 00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.140 must understand the alignment has always been 00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:30.839 a matter of faith. Even those of the bloodline 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.839 who reject God were not included in the family 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.630 of the nation of Israel. Think Esau. Government 00:22:38.630 --> 00:22:42.450 and politics are of man. Geography and the boundaries 00:22:42.450 --> 00:22:45.809 of nations change with conquests and land erosion. 00:22:46.289 --> 00:22:48.730 However, people typically want to live within 00:22:48.730 --> 00:22:52.069 the borders of nations that uphold their personal 00:22:52.069 --> 00:22:57.130 beliefs about God. God has his reasons to have 00:22:57.130 --> 00:22:59.569 some of his children be both in the bloodline 00:22:59.569 --> 00:23:02.970 and the belief line, but he receives all who 00:23:02.970 --> 00:23:06.130 want to be his children equally and is no respecter 00:23:06.130 --> 00:23:09.460 of persons. Some of God's reasons we may never 00:23:09.460 --> 00:23:13.559 be privy to. I explained last week that the evil 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.220 we see operating in our world is like two parallel 00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:20.640 tracks. One is hatred, the other is greed. The 00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:23.759 track motivated by hatred simply wants to destroy 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.799 anything and everything that is of God. The current 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.420 evil government regime of Iran would be of this 00:23:30.420 --> 00:23:33.779 track. The track motivated by greed wants to 00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:37.490 amass all power and control which certainly includes 00:23:37.490 --> 00:23:40.809 money. The self -appointed elite in favor of 00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:43.930 a one -world government are of this track. Both 00:23:43.930 --> 00:23:46.829 are operating simultaneously and at some point, 00:23:47.210 --> 00:23:49.890 certainly in the time of the Antichrist, the 00:23:49.890 --> 00:23:52.849 two tracks will converge and operate as one. 00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.240 With this understanding, I appreciate Laura Abboli's 00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:00.539 post of June 21st where she writes, quote, the 00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:03.259 real reason for the war with Iran has nothing 00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:06.839 to do with uranium enrichment. It's about a very 00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:09.559 different kind of enrichment. This war isn't 00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:13.980 about bombs. It's about banks. Iran is one of 00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:17.240 the last sovereign nations that hasn't been absorbed 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:20.859 into the Western -led financial system. It has 00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:24.049 its own central bank. It doesn't bow to the IMF 00:24:24.049 --> 00:24:26.930 or the World Bank. It doesn't allow full -spectrum 00:24:26.930 --> 00:24:30.170 financial penetration from the likes of BlackRock, 00:24:30.490 --> 00:24:34.170 Vanguard, or JP Morgan. That makes it a problem 00:24:34.170 --> 00:24:37.809 for the globalist banksters. Iran doesn't take 00:24:37.809 --> 00:24:41.289 marching orders from the IMF. It sells oil outside 00:24:41.289 --> 00:24:44.950 the dollar system. It talks openly about a multipolar 00:24:44.950 --> 00:24:48.369 world and backs up its talk with regional alliances 00:24:48.369 --> 00:24:53.000 from Iraq to Syria to Lebanon. This is what Washington, 00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:57.220 London, and Tel Aviv can't tolerate. Not because 00:24:57.220 --> 00:25:00.500 Iran is strong militarily, but because it's economically 00:25:00.500 --> 00:25:04.759 disobedient. Laura claims, the nuclear threat 00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.920 narrative is just the propaganda vehicle. It's 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.720 the same one they use in Iraq. The goal is to 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.519 justify dismantling a regime that won't play 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.970 ball with the bankers. End quote. While I can 00:25:18.970 --> 00:25:21.910 readily see Laura Aboli's line of rational thought, 00:25:22.150 --> 00:25:24.410 she isn't taking into consideration what I've 00:25:24.410 --> 00:25:26.789 brought to you these past three weeks, and that 00:25:26.789 --> 00:25:29.130 is the reality of God working through people 00:25:29.130 --> 00:25:32.309 to completely overturn the plans and the agenda 00:25:32.309 --> 00:25:34.670 of the proponents for a one -world government. 00:25:35.710 --> 00:25:37.910 Thankfully, President Trump is one through whom 00:25:37.910 --> 00:25:41.019 God is working to overthrow the globalists. I'm 00:25:41.019 --> 00:25:43.279 grateful too for the many prophetic voices God 00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.220 has raised up to share with us his plans before 00:25:46.220 --> 00:25:48.799 he puts them in action. If you didn't hear the 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.099 podcasts with Dr. Scott Young about how God is 00:25:52.099 --> 00:25:55.299 truly overthrowing what he calls the Babylonian 00:25:55.299 --> 00:25:58.519 economic system, make a point of listening to 00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:01.039 learn of the expected great transference of wealth 00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.559 and the great harvest of souls that will soon 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.759 be grander than God's deliverance of his people 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.809 out of Egypt in the Exodus story. Robin de Bullock 00:26:10.809 --> 00:26:13.349 is one of today's proven prophets I learned from, 00:26:13.390 --> 00:26:16.289 and he recently revisited a prophecy he initially 00:26:16.289 --> 00:26:19.650 delivered on September 22, 2024, and another 00:26:19.650 --> 00:26:23.150 he first posted on October 8, 2024, and still 00:26:23.150 --> 00:26:26.470 another on June 1 of this year. Let me share 00:26:26.470 --> 00:26:28.589 them with you now and then let's consider what 00:26:28.589 --> 00:26:32.450 they might mean. God said through Robin, quote, 00:26:32.890 --> 00:26:36.630 14 years of hardship awaits you, Iran. Do not 00:26:36.630 --> 00:26:40.099 make the wrong decision. You boast, but let it 00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:42.900 only be a boast, for if you try what you are 00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:45.759 planning it will be a miserable failure. Get 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.819 rid of your leader before you cross a line of 00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:51.880 no return, for there is one and you are threatening 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.859 to cross it. Your country will burn with fervent 00:26:55.859 --> 00:26:59.259 heat and never be the same again. Why do you 00:26:59.259 --> 00:27:02.539 think you can win when over and over again I've 00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:05.930 shown you that you can't? Personal vendettas 00:27:05.930 --> 00:27:09.309 are a poor reason to cause your people to die. 00:27:09.849 --> 00:27:12.730 How long do you think I will tolerate your drone 00:27:12.730 --> 00:27:16.670 attacks against Israel? I ask again, how long? 00:27:17.170 --> 00:27:20.390 The birds of prey will explode in their caves 00:27:20.390 --> 00:27:24.789 and it will surely shake the land. In the October 00:27:24.789 --> 00:27:28.750 8, 2024 prophecy, God said, quote, listen to 00:27:28.750 --> 00:27:31.809 the wind across the Middle East. Night will bring 00:27:31.809 --> 00:27:34.910 about the regime and Iran's greatest fears for 00:27:34.910 --> 00:27:38.069 in the night. It has already been settled You'll 00:27:38.069 --> 00:27:43.369 not soon be here end quote the June 1st prophecy 00:27:43.369 --> 00:27:47.009 stated quote I'm going to dance upon the sand 00:27:47.009 --> 00:27:51.490 barren lands of Sinai the Middle East Iran has 00:27:51.490 --> 00:27:54.450 ran its course I'm going to free the Persian 00:27:54.450 --> 00:27:58.630 people the head of the snake the axis of evil 00:27:58.630 --> 00:28:04.450 will now be struck blind with fire boom boom 00:28:04.450 --> 00:28:08.329 i've been invited to dance in the sand once again 00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:11.829 in my land and i'm going to accept the invitation 00:28:11.829 --> 00:28:16.089 when you see the lord dance the grounds shake 00:28:16.089 --> 00:28:19.349 fireballs and earthquakes and mountains shake 00:28:19.349 --> 00:28:24.670 i took the hand of netanyahu my man end quote 00:28:25.289 --> 00:28:28.849 Could it be the birds of prey God said will explode 00:28:28.849 --> 00:28:32.390 in their caves and surely shake the land? Be 00:28:32.390 --> 00:28:34.990 the bunker busting bombs we just used against 00:28:34.990 --> 00:28:37.789 the nuclear facilities that landed deep in the 00:28:37.789 --> 00:28:41.569 ground in what could be considered caves? Could 00:28:41.569 --> 00:28:44.230 the night that would bring Iran's greatest fears 00:28:44.230 --> 00:28:47.309 when God says you'll not soon be here be the 00:28:47.309 --> 00:28:50.369 night that Israel took out so many of Iran's 00:28:50.369 --> 00:28:54.299 leaders and scientists? Could the invitation 00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:57.519 to dance on the sand be the prayers of God's 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:00.700 people in Iran seeking his intervention against 00:29:00.700 --> 00:29:04.640 the evil regime? Israel regularly referred to 00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.380 their efforts of striking Iran as a means of 00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:11.960 cutting off the head of the snake. God said boom, 00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:15.359 boom. Surely that's a reference to the many explosive 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.559 bombs sent to Iran. God said they'd experienced 00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:23.039 the grounds shake, fireballs, earthquakes, and 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.799 mountains shake. Well, the nuclear facilities 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.039 were in the mountains of Iran, and that's where 00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.319 we dropped 36 bombs ordered by President Trump, 00:29:32.619 --> 00:29:35.140 not to mention the many other missiles and explosives 00:29:35.140 --> 00:29:39.640 dropped by Israel over the 12 -day war. Did you 00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:42.819 know that in the midst of all this horrific reality 00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:47.799 of war, people of both Iran and Israel were dancing 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:51.039 in the streets together with anticipation of 00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:55.059 them being released from this evil regime. Oh 00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:57.839 I know I saw people trying to claim that the 00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:01.059 people who live in Iran are not oppressed. Even 00:30:01.059 --> 00:30:03.640 Whoopi Goldberg on The View tried to convince 00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:07.400 a woman guest who was from Iran that black people 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:10.259 in America are more oppressed than people in 00:30:10.259 --> 00:30:14.549 Iran. Really? Simply do an internet search asking 00:30:14.549 --> 00:30:17.490 if people in Iran are happy and learn the truth. 00:30:18.109 --> 00:30:20.930 The majority of Iranians are not happy with their 00:30:20.930 --> 00:30:23.829 government with polls and human rights organizations 00:30:23.829 --> 00:30:27.089 reporting widespread dissatisfaction and a desire 00:30:27.089 --> 00:30:30.849 for change. Yet I suspect the degree of dissatisfaction 00:30:30.849 --> 00:30:33.450 and desire for change is much higher than polls 00:30:33.450 --> 00:30:36.670 show because the government cracks down against 00:30:36.670 --> 00:30:39.750 any opposition according to the United Nations 00:30:39.750 --> 00:30:43.240 and Human Rights Watch. There is severe economic 00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.460 hardship and unemployment, reports of human rights 00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:50.059 violations, widespread abuse of personal freedoms 00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:53.799 of speech, assembly, religion, and political 00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.880 expression are suffered. The people's dissatisfaction 00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:01.440 is so great that despite government crackdowns, 00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:04.559 protests and acts of civil disobedience continue 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.319 even with the real possibility of being arrested 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.069 and put in jail. Even so, there are brave men 00:31:11.069 --> 00:31:13.809 and women who are openly calling for an end to 00:31:13.809 --> 00:31:17.130 the Islamic Republic. I watched and read several 00:31:17.130 --> 00:31:20.890 posts from Iranians this past week all echoing 00:31:20.890 --> 00:31:25.190 the same pain. One post read, quote, As an Iranian, 00:31:25.690 --> 00:31:28.950 I find it absolutely outrageous to see any lifeline 00:31:28.950 --> 00:31:32.220 thrown to the Iranian regime. These people have 00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:36.019 destroyed countless lives, spread hate, and fueled 00:31:36.019 --> 00:31:39.160 instability for decades. Giving them support 00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:42.720 is not misguided. It's dangerous. They don't 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:46.279 want peace. They want control, oppression, and 00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:50.480 fear. We the people of Iran deserve better. Stop 00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:54.519 enabling tyranny." Another post read, quote, 00:31:54.819 --> 00:31:59.279 to help educate Iran is not Arab or Muslim. Iran 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:03.119 slash Persia is a civilization thousands and 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:06.900 thousands of years old. Muhammad created Islam 00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:12.099 only 1400 years ago. Shi 'i Islam conquered Iran 00:32:12.099 --> 00:32:16.460 in 1979 and proceeded to subjugate and terrorize 00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:19.980 the population, not to mention imprison anyone 00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:23.279 who resisted the Islamic regime. What's happening 00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:27.200 right now is that Israel and the USA are liberating 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.220 the Iranian people. Those peddling World War 00:32:30.220 --> 00:32:33.779 III are using fear tactics. Evil doesn't want 00:32:33.779 --> 00:32:37.380 evil to be extinguished. Remember that the CIA 00:32:37.380 --> 00:32:40.799 installed the Islamic regime, who plundered the 00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:44.440 people and resources of Iran, and the CIA and 00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:48.160 loyal employees thereof do not want the plundering 00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:53.339 to end." The reference to the CIA here is an 00:32:53.339 --> 00:32:55.980 example of the United States direct involvement 00:32:55.980 --> 00:33:00.849 in regime change and its outcome. I'll say again 00:33:00.849 --> 00:33:03.690 I believe President Trump and his cabinet very 00:33:03.690 --> 00:33:06.529 much want the people of Iran to be the party 00:33:06.529 --> 00:33:09.829 to cause any regime change for themselves if 00:33:09.829 --> 00:33:13.269 that's what they want. I know Amir Sarfati representing 00:33:13.269 --> 00:33:15.509 the position of the government of Israel said 00:33:15.509 --> 00:33:19.150 the same thing. We all need to remember it was 00:33:19.150 --> 00:33:23.029 Hamas acting on behalf of Iran that mercilessly 00:33:23.029 --> 00:33:26.150 and violently attacked Israeli citizens who were 00:33:26.150 --> 00:33:29.650 attending a music festival on October 7, 2023 00:33:29.650 --> 00:33:33.069 that led to this ongoing war between Israel and 00:33:33.069 --> 00:33:36.690 Iran. People are claiming Israel launched a surprise 00:33:36.690 --> 00:33:39.869 attack against Iran on Thursday night or Friday 00:33:39.869 --> 00:33:42.890 June 12th or 13th. But what they are not saying 00:33:42.890 --> 00:33:46.130 is that Israel's strategic attack was in their 00:33:46.130 --> 00:33:49.970 own defense for the ongoing war Iran declared 00:33:49.970 --> 00:33:52.970 against Israel nearly a full year and a half 00:33:52.970 --> 00:33:57.490 ago. Amir shared Israel's specific goals were 00:33:57.490 --> 00:34:01.170 number one, to cause significant damage to Iran's 00:34:01.170 --> 00:34:04.579 nuclear program. Number two, to cause significant 00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:07.819 damage to Iran's missile program. Number three, 00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:11.820 to attack and cause the Shiite militia, the Houthis, 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.440 to make sure they are eliminated. And number 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.800 four, to create conditions for long -term compliance 00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.940 for no nuclear ballistic progress. With these 00:34:22.940 --> 00:34:26.199 four goals, Israel hoped to destabilize government 00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:30.599 institutions, the military, police, prisons, 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.420 and media. to allow the Iranian people the best 00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:37.320 possible chance to establish their own government 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.440 and free the people from the oppression and tyranny 00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:45.059 of the current evil regime. Now, I want to close 00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:47.500 with a highly encouraging perspective from Dutch 00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:50.719 Sheets. As the Bible reveals, modern -day Iran 00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:53.280 was known as Persia during the Old Testament 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:56.260 times. We read from the book of Daniel about 00:34:56.260 --> 00:34:58.519 the spiritual war between the heavens that is 00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:02.039 played out on earth and how an evil angel referred 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.500 to as the Prince of Persia has ruled over that 00:35:05.500 --> 00:35:09.519 region. Dutch writes, demons and angels don't 00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:12.320 die, so the Prince of Persia is still alive, 00:35:12.699 --> 00:35:16.579 as are the archangels Gabriel and Michael. This 00:35:16.579 --> 00:35:20.699 evil principality over Persia or Iran influences 00:35:20.699 --> 00:35:24.219 nations and individuals to oppose Israel today, 00:35:24.500 --> 00:35:28.219 just as it did in Daniel's time. One of evil's 00:35:28.219 --> 00:35:31.219 primary goals is to always deceive and blind 00:35:31.219 --> 00:35:34.820 individuals to truth. The spiritual warfare is 00:35:34.820 --> 00:35:37.860 real. Therefore, the warfare in the Middle East 00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:40.820 today is both physical and spiritual in nature. 00:35:41.690 --> 00:35:44.969 As Israel fights the fruit of the Spirit's stronghold 00:35:44.969 --> 00:35:48.070 using natural weapons, our spiritual warfare 00:35:48.070 --> 00:35:51.190 must be part of its defeat, just as it was in 00:35:51.190 --> 00:35:54.690 Daniel's time. God intends to break the back 00:35:54.690 --> 00:35:57.690 of the Spirit's rule over the region, freeing 00:35:57.690 --> 00:36:00.489 millions of people to see the light of the gospel 00:36:00.489 --> 00:36:03.570 of Jesus Christ, as well as freeing them from 00:36:03.570 --> 00:36:09.059 horrible oppression." To all that's going on, 00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:12.440 Amanda Grace has said the Church or the Ecclesia 00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.800 is being called upon today like never before 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.400 to stand up and fight against evil. While the 00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:22.320 12 -day war of Israel and Iran may be over for 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:26.519 now, our work to fight against evil is not over. 00:36:27.099 --> 00:36:29.679 Let us join in the prayer Dutch Sheets recommends 00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:34.460 over the situation. Father, We are watching incredible 00:36:34.460 --> 00:36:37.500 history being made before our very eyes in the 00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:41.019 Middle East. As the war takes place in the natural 00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:44.239 realm, use us to do our part in the spiritual 00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:47.840 realm. We take the weapons of our warfare that 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:50.679 you have given us, 2 Corinthians chapter 10, 00:36:50.699 --> 00:36:54.519 verses 3 to 5, and declare that Jesus broke the 00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:57.019 authority of the Prince of Persia over the Middle 00:36:57.019 --> 00:37:01.719 East. As Christ's Ecclesia, we release the power 00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:05.300 of Holy Spirit through our prayers to hover over 00:37:05.300 --> 00:37:08.739 that region, bringing freedom in both the natural 00:37:08.739 --> 00:37:12.199 and spiritual realms. We ask you, Father, for 00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:15.300 millions of salvations in that part of the world. 00:37:15.820 --> 00:37:19.760 Let the revival be unprecedented. Now I ask you 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.320 to pray for your own nation wherever you are. 00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:26.119 Father, We also ask for a continuing release 00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:29.739 of spiritual power in our nation to bring forth 00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:32.940 the salvation of millions, break the back of 00:37:32.940 --> 00:37:36.500 strongholds of violence and hatred, replacing 00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:39.400 them with love and kindness. We thank you for 00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:42.659 what is already taking place. Now we ask more 00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:47.860 people to turn to Jesus. Amen. Our decree according 00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:51.469 to Dutch. We decree that the demonic strongholds 00:37:51.469 --> 00:37:54.210 in the Middle East have been overcome by the 00:37:54.210 --> 00:37:57.449 blood of Jesus and that this victory is and will 00:37:57.449 --> 00:38:02.050 continue to manifest. Next week, as always, I 00:38:02.050 --> 00:38:04.190 will help us explore current events from a biblical 00:38:04.190 --> 00:38:07.000 and prophetic perspective. I have asked a couple 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.739 of people to potentially be my guests, but I 00:38:09.739 --> 00:38:12.760 have no confirmations just yet. Regardless if 00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:14.900 I have a guest or not, you can always count on 00:38:14.900 --> 00:38:17.900 me to prayerfully bring you timely content so 00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:21.239 we as God's children can know from him how he 00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:24.239 wants us to respond to our world and see his 00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:27.420 kingdom will done on earth as it is in heaven. 00:38:27.949 --> 00:38:31.030 If you've benefited from my podcast at all, please 00:38:31.030 --> 00:38:33.449 be sure to share with others so we can expand 00:38:33.449 --> 00:38:36.230 our reach and help more and more people learn 00:38:36.230 --> 00:38:38.789 how to live their Christian faith and experience 00:38:38.789 --> 00:38:42.690 all the joy and victory Christ offers. Now I 00:38:42.690 --> 00:38:44.750 ask you to please listen to my closing announcements 00:38:44.750 --> 00:38:47.570 and to take advantage of the many goods and services 00:38:47.570 --> 00:38:49.789 I bring you in an effort to at least cover the 00:38:49.789 --> 00:38:52.429 cost of this podcast. The first announcement 00:38:52.429 --> 00:38:55.510 clarifies more about changes to our Greece tour 00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:59.539 now scheduled for April 2026.

It may 00:39:18.019 --> 00:39:20.920 seem far off, but most people make plans for 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:23.420 a significant vacation about a year in advance. 00:39:23.699 --> 00:39:25.820 So if you haven't already expressed interest 00:39:25.820 --> 00:39:29.820 in traveling with us in April 2026, now is the 00:39:29.820 --> 00:39:32.280 time to do so. We want to have about 30 people 00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:34.739 total because this size group works best for 00:39:34.739 --> 00:39:37.639 the specific tour I have in mind.

I'm using 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.300 the time between now and October 2025 to determine 00:39:44.300 --> 00:39:47.179 if we have enough interest and the trend indicates 00:39:47.179 --> 00:39:49.719 we definitely should. We have just about 30 people 00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.320 on the list now, but I'd like to have more because 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:54.820 when it comes to the actual day of making a commitment, 00:39:55.099 --> 00:39:57.320 things could have changed and I want to be able 00:39:57.320 --> 00:39:59.780 to have at least 30 actually attend the tour. 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.039 So if you think you'd like to be part of the 00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:05.059 Fates Lived by Christian Tour with me in Greece 00:40:05.059 --> 00:40:08.900 during April 2026, now is the time to get your 00:40:08.900 --> 00:40:11.460 name and number in your party on the list.
