1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,680 the Muslims believe that any place where Muslims have been, any place where they've prayed 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,080 belongs to Islam. 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,280 Yeah, any place they prayed. 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,720 Exactly, any place they prayed. 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:20,320 So whatever was under the Ottomans or any other Muslim rule, like all the way to Spain, 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,180 Spain was under the Moors, right? 7 00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:27,160 So they claim Spain and they're expecting to get it back. 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:34,080 And even, I saw a little video clip the other day in this square of just hundreds and hundreds 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,720 of Muslims all bowing down and all that and the caption said, Is this Mecca? 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:50,520 And underneath says, No, it's London. 11 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,400 God promises in Joel 2.28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity. 12 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,960 Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that promised outpouring, we equip for 13 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,640 that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring. 14 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,040 I'm Philip Bus. 15 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,040 And I'm Sharon Bus. 16 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,960 Welcome to the podcast today. 17 00:01:10,960

--> 00:01:24,300 what is going on in the conflict in Israel. 20 00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:30,540 This is part two, and we're going to focus this time on the Palestinian question. 21 00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:37,940 What is this really all about? 22 00:01:37,940 --> 00:01:39,560 We're so glad that you're with us today. 23 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,040 This is a wonderful day to be alive, a wonderful

00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:46,960 So in our last episode, we talked about the Israel side of things, because there's a conflict 36 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,460 between Israel and the so-called Palestinians. 37 00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:57,080 And I say so-called, and you'll understand shortly what I mean by that, but we covered 38 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:06,240 the fact that the Bible promises, God promised in His Word to give the land to the descendants 39 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,480 of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 40 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,400 And there's all kinds of archaeological evidence all over the land that proves that the Jews 41 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,680 have been there, that Israel has been there, that they've been there thousands of years. 42 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,680 Yeah. 43 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,440 And there's some buildings actually in Jerusalem you can go into. 44 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,640 And when they were excavating, they found all those ruins of something, you know, underneath 45 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:32,640 it. 46 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:33,640 Oh, yeah. 47 00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:34,640 When they were excavating to build. 48 00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:35,640 To build. 49 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,640 Yeah. 50 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,640 And so... 51 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,400 Building roads, building train tracks, whatever. 52 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,440 Yeah, and so they would very often have a piece of glass where you can...lights you 53 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,440 can look down what's underneath. 54 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,440 Yeah. 55 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,880 Because that's the only way they could really build, because it's an archaeological thing. 56 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,880 Yeah. 57 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,560 And there's more archaeology in Israel per square foot than anybody else, anywhere else 58 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,560 I know. 59 00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,560 Yeah. 60 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,560 It's just really, really amazing. 61 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,560 So... 62 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,600 It is amazing. 63 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,620 And so we covered those things. 64 00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:11,400 And I just think it's interesting that from the time that God made that promise to Abraham, 65 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,160 it's been roughly 4,000 years. 66 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,360 Yeah. 67 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,360 Roughly 4,000 years. 68 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:25,680 And then roughly 3,500 years, 3,800 years, somewhere in there from the time that Joshua 69 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,400 came and conquered the land. 70 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,120 And there's archaeological evidence again for all of these things. 71 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,600 And they just keep uncovering more and more and more. 72 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,560 All the time. 73 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,440 You can find that kind of information on YouTube. 74 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,280 If you're interested in that kind of thing, just look at archaeology in Israel and YouTube 75 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:48,080 will feed you lots and lots and lots of material. 76 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,360 And make sure you get...it's better if you look for the Jewish sites and stuff, because 77 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,840 some there are there that will try to change, you know, what the truth is. 78 00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:58,840 Yeah, that's true. 79 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:00,120 Kind of like the news today. 80 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,880 Yes, that's true. 81 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,160 So Jerusalem celebrated an anniversary, the 3,000 year anniversary of David coming to 82 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,920 Jerusalem to rule. 83 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,960 Just a few years ago, we were there for that. 84 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,960 Yeah, I remember that. 85 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,960 That was awesome. 86 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,760 And then we covered the fact that, you know, in the time of Jesus, Rome was ruling over 87 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,280 what they called the province of Judea. 88 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:27,040 And they might have called it Syria, Judea, because Syria was the north beyond what would 89 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,240 be Judea. 90 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:37,020 And the Jews kept trying to do again with Rome what the Maccabees had done with Greece 91 00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:38,800 to overthrow them. 92 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,520 So there'd be a revolt and then Rome would come down hard on them. 93 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,440 And, you know, in 70 AD, Rome destroyed the temple. 94 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,440 When was Masada? 95 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,440 That was... 96 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,400 That was around that time. 97 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,680 I don't remember exactly what year. 98 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,000 It was after that, because that's where a lot of the zealots...and just people just went 99 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,400 to Masada, which was Herod's desert fortress. 100 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,400 Right. 101 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:09,320 So then in 135 AD, the Bar Kokhba revolt happened. 102 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,320 And Rome was fed up and they said, that's it. 103 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,560 We're cleaning them out. 104 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,360 And they came down hard and they completely decimated things. 105 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:26,480 They completely razed Jerusalem to the ground, I think, and several other cities and commanded 106 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,480 the Jews to all leave. 107 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,040 Of course, they didn't all leave. 108 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,420 There've always been Jews there throughout all this time. 109 00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:40,800 But then they named the place, Palestina, in order to try and wipe out any history of 110 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,880 the Jews ever having been there. 111 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,600 And it's been called Palestine really actually in more recent centuries. 112 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,160 I mean, it was named that by Rome. 113 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,800 But then in the 600s when the Muslims came...and it's amazing to me how many different Muslim 114 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,200 conquests there were. 115 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,000 And each different group of Muslims would come and they'd beat out the other Muslims 116 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,960 or the Crusaders or whoever. 117 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,360 And then they'd go back to Baghdad or they'd go back to Cairo or they'd go back to Damascus 118 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,440 and rule from there. 119 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,160 They didn't rule from Jerusalem. 120 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,160 They weren't at home there. 121 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,440 Yeah, that wasn't home. 122 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:29,680 So it's just sad to me that the scholars of the 17th, 18th, 19th centuries, 20th century, 123 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,060 the scholars that were studying the Bible once the Bible became available, they were 124 00:07:34,060 --> 00:07:37,360 calling the place Palestine instead of Judea. 125 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,600 I don't understand why, but I guess that's what the maps said that they had available 126 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,600 to them. 127 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:48,960 So anyway, moving on, we have the other side of the conflict. 128 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:55,480 So there's this conflict and the people who are in conflict with Israel are calling themselves 129 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:03,000 Palestinians, although there is no history of them being called Palestinians. 130 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:11,560 If you like old movies, you can go and find the 1960 film called Exodus with Paul Newman. 131 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,440 Yeah, that's really good. 132 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,440 It's a good movie. 133 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,280 It gives a lot of history. 134 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,760 Of course, it's got a love story, all wrapped up in it and whatnot, but it tells the story 135 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,920 pretty well about what was going on prior to 1948. 136 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:33,840 And the thing that was interesting to me was he's calling himself a Palestinian. 137 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,200 He's playing the part of a Jew and he's calling himself a Palestinian. 138 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,440 Well, that was enlightening to me when I saw the movie that, wait a minute, they're calling 139 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,720 themselves Palestinians. 140 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:53,920 And then I dug a little deeper and like what is now the Jerusalem Post was then called... 141 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,320 The Palestine Post. 142 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,320 Exactly. 143 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,760 Yeah, I remember you can Google, you can find that. 144 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,040 I've seen pictures of it in Israel. 145 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,360 They have a front page and a frame, the Palestine Post. 146 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,600 And it kind of takes you back. 147 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,600 I thought, what? 148 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,520 Yeah, if you didn't know the history. 149 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,520 Right. 150 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,840 And they didn't know better. 151 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,480 They didn't think to call it Judea. 152 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,000 It had been Palestine for almost 2000 years, not quite that long. 153 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,480 But it's really interesting that the people who are now calling themselves Palestinians 154 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360 never called themselves Palestinians before. 155 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,760 When we first started going to Israel... 156 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,680 And I just want to say this. 157 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:38,360 I do not consider myself to be any kind of an expert on this, but I've been going there 158 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,360 for 45 years. 159 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,760 You'd be a real good tour guide. 160 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,480 Well, I love it. 161 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,480 I love it. 162 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,640 I don't want to go into the details of that. 163 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,800 But what's interesting to me is the history that I have watched happen, because I started 164 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,160 going in 1978. 165 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,480 All right. 166 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,280 That's just five years after the Yom Kippur War. 167 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,800 That's only 30 years after it became a nation. 168 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:01,800 Right. 169 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,800 It was a very young nation. 170 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,240 It was a very young time of Israel's history. 171 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,680 And it's only 75 now. 172 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:13,480 So it's just interesting to me to look back over these years and the things that I've 173 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:20,840 gleaned in my probably something like 50 times going and being in connection with the people 174 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:26,420 and studying and loving the Word of God, it's all in the Bible. 175 00:10:26,420 --> 00:10:33,480 So I have a unique perspective, I think, and I found it very, very interesting that the 176 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:41,320 Lord allowed me to have my first trip there in 1978 on the heels of the Camp David Accords 177 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:47,080 with Jimmy Carter and Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin. 178 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,420 It was like the day before we flew to Israel. 179 00:10:50,420 --> 00:10:54,800 And I saw this on the television that in the home where we were visiting on our way to 180 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,200 New York, and I knew that there was something very significant. 181 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,200 I didn't understand it. 182 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,360 I was only 20 and I hadn't learned a whole lot yet. 183 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,400 I was just getting started in learning. 184 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,800 But I think that was so significant that the Lord allowed me to see that and watch all 185 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:18,640 of these agreements down through the years in the meantime. 186 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:27,000 But what's going on there, we have to understand that there are Arabic speaking people that 187 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,320 are, well, there's lots of different factions among them. 188 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:39,320 And there are those that are Christian Arabs and those that are Muslims. 189 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:46,160 And there's some tribal stuff too, you know, they come from different clans of Arab descent. 190 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,680 Got the Druze and different... 191 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:51,160 That's another whole group of people. 192 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,680 In the first so many years that we went, there was no talk about Palestinians. 193 00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:58,880 There was talk about Israelis and Arabs. 194 00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Yeah. 195 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:09,600 I remember we were up in Mount Hermon and went into a coffee store there and I ignorantly 196 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,280 said, do you have any Turkish coffee? 197 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,000 You know, that's the coffee that... 198 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,080 I mean, you boil it five or six times in a little pot, it's real thick and put a ton 199 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,080 of sugar in it. 200 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,080 Yeah, a little cup. 201 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,840 And he said, Arab coffee. 202 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,600 You know, he didn't say Palestinian coffee. 203 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,720 Arab coffee, he corrected me. 204 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,720 Right. 205 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:35,120 So then sometimes I would hear them talk about themselves as being Jordanians because Jordan 206 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:41,640 had been occupying the West Bank from 1948 till 1967. 207 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,200 And what is the West Bank? 208 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,200 The West Bank... 209 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,360 Oh, honey, the West Bank. 210 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,460 Oh, don't get me started. 211 00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:54,360 The West Bank is the Western Bank, the Western side of the Jordan River. 212 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,120 Okay, the side of the Jordan River that's on the West. 213 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,240 And what happened there? 214 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:09,440 And so that whole region is the area where most of the biblical historical accounts take 215 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,960 place. 216 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,760 Most all, if not all, of the altars that were built by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, altars 217 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:23,560 and memorials, places where God appeared to them, are all in what's called the West Bank. 218 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:25,600 Yeah, it's Judea and Samaria. 219 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,280 It's really Judea and Samaria. 220 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,280 Yeah. 221 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,280 And... 222 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,240 So to call it the West Bank is improper. 223 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,800 And even in the back of your Bible, it says the West Bank. 224 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,320 It's because they're just ignorant of what the truth is. 225 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,320 Right. 226 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,600 And they're calling it the West Bank just because it's on the Western side of the Jordan. 227 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:53,200 But when the land was divided by the British, there was this area that they were going to 228 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,980 give to the Jewish people. 229 00:13:56,980 --> 00:14:04,160 And then there was a place beyond Jordan called Transjordan, which means beyond Jordan. 230 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,280 So the other side of the Jordan, that's what it was called in the New Testament. 231 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,080 You see places where it's referred to as beyond Jordan. 232 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,360 You know, Jesus went beyond Jordan. 233 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,600 That's the other side of the... 234 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,920 Transjordan means beyond Jordan. 235 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,120 It means the other side of the Jordan. 236 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,000 It doesn't mean both sides of the Jordan River. 237 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,120 It means the other side of the Jordan River. 238 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,080 Yeah, you can write that in your Bible. 239 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,080 Yeah. 240 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:34,040 So anyway, these people were calling themselves Arabs or Jordanians until... 241 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,960 I'm trying to figure out when it was that I started hearing them referring to themselves 242 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,000 as Palestinians. 243 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,320 I think it might've been in the 90s. 244 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,680 It was Arafat started it. 245 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,680 We are Palestinians. 246 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,680 And that was 72, 73? 247 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,880 Well, I don't know, just when he started, probably right after 67, he started into that. 248 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,720 But it didn't catch on right away. 249 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,880 But you keep repeating something. 250 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,280 And if you repeat something, it's a good communist tactic, which they're using. 251 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,900 And all of our news people do it too. 252 00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:09,960 If you keep repeating a lie long enough, people will believe it. 253 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,960 It's true. 254 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,000 And that's what has happened with this name. 255 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,600 So who are these people? 256 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,600 Where do they come from? 257 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,600 Where do we see them in the Word of God? 258 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,320 Well, in Genesis chapter 16 and verse 11, and this is to Hagar. 259 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,520 She was an Egyptian and she was the slave of Sarah. 260 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,600 And she was kind of like a concubine also because the promise seed Isaac hadn't showed 261 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,900 up yet. 262 00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:40,880 And so he got ahead of God's plan and tried to create it. 263 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,640 But not through Sarah. 264 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:50,320 And the scripture though, in Genesis 16 and 11, and the angel of the Lord said unto her, 265 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:57,680 behold the art with child and shall bear a son and shall call his name Ishmael because 266 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,980 the Lord hath heard thy affliction. 267 00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:03,160 And he will be a wild man. 268 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,640 His hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him. 269 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,640 And he shall dwell in the presence of his brethren. 270 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,640 Wow. 271 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,640 So that's Ishmael. 272 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,640 That's Ishmael. 273 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,200 And now Esau. 274 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,200 Yes. 275 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:22,520 So then in the next generation, you've got Isaac has Jacob and Esau. 276 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:29,420 And Jacob was the one the promise would go to and Esau was the one that the promise didn't 277 00:16:29,420 --> 00:16:30,420 go to. 278 00:16:30,420 --> 00:16:33,680 And he was also pretty much a wild man. 279 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,080 Okay. 280 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:42,880 And so the Edomians, the Edomites, the Mount Seir, those are references in the Bible that 281 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,240 refer to the people that were descended from Edom or from Esau. 282 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,520 And so there's that people group. 283 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,000 So there's cousins in the next generation. 284 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:59,080 And then you've got Lot who was the nephew of Abraham. 285 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:06,080 And after the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah, and Lot and his daughters ran, and they were 286 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,720 the only survivors of the family. 287 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,800 And first they went to this little city and they decided that wasn't safe. 288 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,600 And they went to the mountains, which is where the angels told them go to in the first place. 289 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,320 That little city probably should have been destroyed too. 290 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,900 I think that was Zohar. 291 00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:27,000 And so the daughters are there with their dad and they're thinking it's the end of the 292 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000 world. 293 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,840 So how are we ever going to find husbands? 294 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,880 Let's get our dad drunk and get pregnant so that we can carry on to the next generation. 295 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,760 So that happened. 296 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:45,240 And the offspring of those, of that incestuous relationship was Ammon and Moab. 297 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:50,620 So they were located in what is now Jordan. 298 00:17:50,620 --> 00:17:53,400 So you've got Ammon Jordan. 299 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,400 It's remembering the Ammonites. 300 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,400 Ammonites. 301 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,400 Okay. 302 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,400 I thought of that before. 303 00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,960 So and then you've got Moab. 304 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:01,960 You remember Ruth came from Moab. 305 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,040 Ruth the Moabitess. 306 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:09,620 So these are people groups that are in that region. 307 00:18:09,620 --> 00:18:17,080 And then you've got Abraham after Sarah died, he took another wife because God said after 308 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,200 all you're going to be the father of many nations. 309 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,680 So let's have some more babies. 310 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,360 So he's creating color. 311 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:25,960 So he took another wife. 312 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,520 And out of all of those offspring, let's just look quick at who that is. 313 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,680 Genesis. 314 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:39,160 Genesis 25 says, then again Abraham took a wife and her name was Keturah. 315 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:45,960 And she bare him Zimran and Juxhan and Midan and Midian. 316 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,000 You've heard of the Midianites, right? 317 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Okay. 318 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,760 Remember Moses' father-in-law was a Midianite. 319 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:57,080 So he was a worshiper of the one God because he'd learned that from his father Abraham, 320 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,160 right? 321 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,000 And Ishbeck and Shuah and Juxhan begat Sheba. 322 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,920 Where have you heard of Sheba? 323 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,920 The queen of Sheba. 324 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,920 Okay. 325 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,320 So that's probably Mradner Day Yemen or somewhere in that vicinity. 326 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,460 And Dedan and the sons of Dedan were Ashurim and Latushim and Liumim. 327 00:19:15,460 --> 00:19:21,620 And the sons of Midian, Ifa and Ifer and Hanuk and Abida and Elda'ah, all these were the 328 00:19:21,620 --> 00:19:23,880 children of Keturah. 329 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:30,600 So you've got all of these descendants of Abraham in that region. 330 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,500 So there's descendants of Abraham in that whole region. 331 00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:38,320 They're actually all Semites. 332 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,440 All different flavors. 333 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,380 All different flavors. 334 00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:47,400 And there's this kind of an ancient hatred that's talked about in the scripture that 335 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,680 there's a jealousy of the ones who were chosen by God. 336 00:19:52,680 --> 00:20:02,020 And so there's been this spiritual darkness that has tried to mar the minds of the people 337 00:20:02,020 --> 00:20:05,180 that are not the chosen ones. 338 00:20:05,180 --> 00:20:07,960 And that's part of the issue that's going on. 339 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:15,760 I want to be sensitive and help you understand that there are different people groups with 340 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,920 different situations. 341 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:24,720 Like the Arab Christians, many of them trace their history back to the time of Jesus. 342 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,720 Yeah. 343 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,200 The shepherds fields. 344 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,200 Yeah. 345 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,520 Some of them are descendants of the shepherds in Bethlehem. 346 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:37,800 Of course, they would be Jews originally, but they became believers in Jesus. 347 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,900 And they stuck it out when the Muslims tried to conquer and they stuck it out and stayed 348 00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:43,900 with Jesus. 349 00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:48,600 And a whole lot of people, both Jews and Christians became Muslims. 350 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,600 Yeah. 351 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,600 They were forced to. 352 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,600 They were forced to. 353 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,200 It's you do it or you die. 354 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,600 You do it or you die or you pay a big fine. 355 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,080 And people did what they chose to do. 356 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,200 And then when things lightened up, a lot of them didn't go back to being Jews or Christians. 357 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,860 They just stayed being Muslims. 358 00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:15,800 And there are things in the Muslim religion that make it very, very difficult for Jews 359 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,760 and Christians. 360 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:27,240 Let me just back up and say there was a long, long period of time where the Jews and Christians 361 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,000 under Islam lived in relative peace and harmony. 362 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Yeah. 363 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,520 Out of children, we'd all play together. 364 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,520 Yeah. 365 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:42,480 And then when the Jews started coming back to the land in the late 1800s, there was a 366 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:50,760 move along those lines, mostly from Russia and from Eastern Europe in those first couple 367 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,760 of waves of immigrants. 368 00:21:53,760 --> 00:22:00,200 And around the same time, the Ottomans were kind of looking at how the Jews are developing 369 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160 things and the British are starting to show up. 370 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:10,640 And so they're making it available to workers from neighboring countries to come there to 371 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,840 help them build the nation. 372 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:19,400 So there were a lot of Muslim and Christian Arabs that came for work. 373 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,040 And they came from all over North Africa. 374 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,120 A lot came from Algeria. 375 00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:30,960 There were Circassians up in what would be now the former Soviet Union around the Black 376 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,960 Sea. 377 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:37,920 There was a Russian genocide, really, of the Circassians and some of them fled and ended 378 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,200 up in Israel. 379 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,320 They're Muslims. 380 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,440 But before they were forced to become Muslims, they were Christians for a thousand years. 381 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:52,520 So you've got people that were historically Christians and they had to become Muslims. 382 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,840 So this is a really hard thing, a really difficult thing. 383 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:04,160 And one of the things that the Muslims have as one of their, I don't know if you'd call 384 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:10,160 it a tenet, but it's an understanding that they have that if it's necessary for the sake 385 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,080 of promoting Islam, you can lie. 386 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,400 And you can hide the fact that you're a Muslim or you can pretend that you're not a very 387 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:25,360 serious Muslim or you can just outright lie about what Muslims believe. 388 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,480 And you could pass a lie detector test. 389 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,480 I would think so. 390 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:34,040 Because there's no condemnation because the Quran says you can lie to someone who's not 391 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,040 a Muslim. 392 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,040 Right. 393 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,200 So what they do, they tell you what you like to hear. 394 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,200 Exactly. 395 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,340 That's what you get. 396 00:23:41,340 --> 00:23:44,040 And that kind of bleeds over into the whole culture. 397 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,040 Yeah. 398 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,240 I heard this from one of our guides. 399 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,080 This is to give you an idea how they think. 400 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,680 If a PLO officer goes into an Arab store, he can take what he wants. 401 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,120 He says, I want this, I want that, da, da, da, da, and not pay for it. 402 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:00,120 Okay. 403 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:05,120 If an Israeli soldier walks into that shop and says, I would like this, I like this and 404 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:10,600 like that and pays for it, they don't say, oh, he's so nice, he's going to pay for it. 405 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,880 They say, look how weak this man is. 406 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,400 I mean, that was told to me by an Israeli. 407 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,400 I remember that. 408 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,640 See, that's the mindset you are dealing with. 409 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,000 It's an inferior, it's just like size matters. 410 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,440 You have bigger club, bigger gun, bigger what have you. 411 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,440 Right. 412 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,120 And they rule by fear. 413 00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:36,200 They rule with strength and being vicious a lot of times. 414 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:44,240 And that's why we had what happened October 7th, because this is the mindset of Hamas. 415 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:52,920 Hamas is an evil, evil group that in their charter, they're not there to get a Palestinian 416 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,920 state. 417 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,600 Their whole thing is to annihilate Israel. 418 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,080 Push them to the sea. 419 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,080 Exactly. 420 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,340 And they make this declaration, we will have the land from the river to the sea. 421 00:25:02,340 --> 00:25:04,320 They don't want a two state solution. 422 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,600 They want a one state solution and it's theirs. 423 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,600 Yeah, that's right. 424 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,700 They don't want Israel to be there. 425 00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:11,600 Their job is to annihilate them. 426 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,520 There's a thing in the Quran that, let me just back up and say this. 427 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:25,840 The eschatology of Islam is in expectation of the coming of a messianic type character 428 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,640 that they call the Mahdi. 429 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:36,600 And he's going to come and make peace with everybody and everything will be hunky dory. 430 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:45,000 And then Jesus will come back and establish a worldwide Muslim culture. 431 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,000 That's their eschatology. 432 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000 Yeah. 433 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Okay. 434 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,920 But part of that is they're expecting the Mahdi to come when there is great violence 435 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:53,920 going on. 436 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,920 Okay. 437 00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:00,600 So in some of the writings of Islam, I can't quote exactly where it is, but I've got a 438 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,880 little quotation of an English version of it. 439 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:09,520 It says, the hour will not start until after the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims 440 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,960 kill them. 441 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,800 The Jew will hide behind a stone or tree and the tree will say, Oh Muslim, Oh servant or 442 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,000 slave of Allah, this is a Jew behind me. 443 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,380 Come and kill him. 444 00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:25,240 So they are taught from childhood to hate the Jews. 445 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:32,600 And our dear friend, Kamran Yari from Iran, originally from Iran, a former Shiite Muslim, 446 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,760 very devout at the time. 447 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,440 Jesus appeared to him. 448 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,580 He became a believer. 449 00:26:37,580 --> 00:26:39,040 That's a very short version. 450 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,040 We'll put... 451 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,880 We need to have him on again. 452 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,880 Yeah. 453 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,280 But we've had him on before and we'll put a link to that podcast in the show notes so 454 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,020 that you can hear the rest of his story. 455 00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:52,880 But he makes a statement. 456 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,680 I didn't ask to be born a Muslim. 457 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,800 I was just born a Muslim. 458 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,160 I couldn't help it. 459 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:07,280 And so we have to just stop the inclination to just be angry with these people or have 460 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:14,520 an initial negative response about them because we just need to pray for them. 461 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,340 Because God wants to pour out his spirit on the Muslims. 462 00:27:17,340 --> 00:27:22,540 And you may know that the fastest growing church on the planet is the underground church 463 00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:23,540 in Iran. 464 00:27:23,540 --> 00:27:24,540 Yeah. 465 00:27:24,540 --> 00:27:25,980 You don't hear about that much. 466 00:27:25,980 --> 00:27:26,980 Not on the news. 467 00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:27,980 Not on the news. 468 00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:30,440 You just listen to the right kind of news to hear that. 469 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:35,280 So there is something going on in Iran that's wonderful. 470 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,440 And all of this other stuff that's going on, you know, man, we don't want anybody to drop 471 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,000 the atomic bomb on Iran because of all these wonderful believers. 472 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,840 But you know what I mean? 473 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:51,720 There's things that we have to get our perspective right from the kingdom point of view. 474 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:59,360 Well, as far as the Quran goes, some years back we bought an English version of the Quran. 475 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:04,080 And the particular one I have, this is by Ballantine Books. 476 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:09,240 This was actually printed in April of 1993, this printing. 477 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,320 And you know, in the Quran is all Allah. 478 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,920 But in this, you will not find the name Allah in it. 479 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,920 Yeah. 480 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:17,920 Everything is God, God. 481 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:24,080 Yeah, anywhere where Allah's name appears in the Arabic scripture or whatever you call 482 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,160 it, the Arabic Quran, it's translated as God. 483 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,040 So there's a confusion about who are we talking about? 484 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,040 Yeah. 485 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,120 That God might also bring to naught the craft of the infidels. 486 00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:41,960 God bring to, you know, oh ye faithful, obey God, which is Allah, and his apostle, which 487 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,800 should be Muhammad, and turn not away from him, now that ye hear the truth. 488 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,560 Okay, so you can pick this Quran up, and it's very poorly marked. 489 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,480 You know, it doesn't have an index in the front. 490 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,360 I was only able to find it by the, you know, it makes it hard to find anything in it. 491 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,700 But about 12, 13 years ago or more, 14 years ago, we were at a conference and we heard 492 00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:13,040 a man that was a Christian Arab, and he befriended some Arab scholars that, you know, they were 493 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:20,680 Muslims, now they're believers, and he felt inspired to translate the Quran into proper 494 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,680 English. 495 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,680 Accurate English. 496 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,480 Accurate English, because what he says is the Quran's you buy, the English ones, they're 497 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,280 sugar-coated. 498 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,520 They don't tell you what it's really saying. 499 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:38,560 So I'm going to read a couple things out of this, and this particular Quran, this is called, 500 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,100 it's called the Generous Quran. 501 00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:42,100 Which is the proper translation. 502 00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:44,120 The proper translation, not holy. 503 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,040 The Generous Quran is the proper. 504 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,760 And you can look for this, it's Usama Dakdak Publishing. 505 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,560 That's his name, Usama Dakdak. 506 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:02,600 You can also find these on eBay and Amazon, because I found them there. 507 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,760 And I bought a few more just to have them. 508 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:12,400 So anyway, this is his footnote, and this is chapter 17, I guess, what it is. 509 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:19,000 One of the big things the Muslims have today is like the third most holy site in Islam. 510 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,460 Number one is Mecca. 511 00:30:21,460 --> 00:30:24,520 That's where the stone is, that black stone. 512 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,800 They go kiss it and get... 513 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,360 Yeah, when they go on Hajj. 514 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,040 Yeah, when they go do the Hajj once a year. 515 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,680 And then there's Medina, number two. 516 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,160 And then they say Jerusalem, the holy site. 517 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,600 But there is no mention in the Quran, the name Jerusalem does not appear. 518 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,400 You see Mecca, Medina, you'll see all these other names, but there is no mention that 519 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,220 this is Jerusalem. 520 00:30:49,220 --> 00:30:55,160 This is what the publisher writes before, in the footnote here, before the scripture 521 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,160 that they have. 522 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:02,620 And it says, this passage describes Muhammad's trip to Jerusalem and to the seven heavens. 523 00:31:02,620 --> 00:31:06,400 Muhammad claimed that he visited the temple of Solomon and prayed in it. 524 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,600 However, the temple was actually demolished 550 years earlier. 525 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,600 And what year was that? 526 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,660 That was about six... 527 00:31:14,660 --> 00:31:18,100 His night journey was about 621 AD. 528 00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:19,880 This is the date of it. 529 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,240 But Solomon's temple was destroyed in 586 BC. 530 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,620 That was the first temple. 531 00:31:25,620 --> 00:31:26,620 And the second temple. 532 00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:29,300 And the second temple, the 70 AD. 533 00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:32,880 So that was Herod's, you know, the one that Herod built. 534 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,740 And so that was destroyed. 535 00:31:34,740 --> 00:31:38,640 And so Muhammad is born 550 years later. 536 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,440 So I'll continue reading here. 537 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,460 According to the Hadith, Muhammad ascended to the seven heavens riding a mule after his 538 00:31:46,460 --> 00:31:49,640 miraculous visit to the temple. 539 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,720 Notice in verse 93, when the people requested that Muhammad ascend to heaven as a proof 540 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,300 to believe in him. 541 00:31:56,300 --> 00:32:01,520 His response was not, I have already been to heaven, but rather I am just a human. 542 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,160 See, he's admitting he's just a human. 543 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,160 He's not, you know... 544 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:12,600 Okay, this is what the correct English translation of the Quran says. 545 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,840 Praise be to him who took his servant by night from the forbidden mosque to the farthest 546 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,040 mosque. 547 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,200 So Jerusalem, they're saying, is the farthest mosque. 548 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:26,120 Whom we have blessed, that which surrounds him, that we might show him some of our signs. 549 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,480 Surely he is the hearing the seeing. 550 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,960 This is what they go on to make the Temple Mount a holy site. 551 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:38,360 And it has Alaska Mosque, which is a very old mosque, and that was built when? 552 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,440 It's been there a long time. 553 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:49,240 But there is no legal right to that Temple Mount because Jerusalem is not in the Quran. 554 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,240 It is not there. 555 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,240 You can hunt all you want. 556 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,400 You will not find Jerusalem in the Quran. 557 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,240 You know, it's a political thing. 558 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,240 Right. 559 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,080 Muslim thing, political thing. 560 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,360 It goes deeper than that. 561 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:01,480 Okay, tell us. 562 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,440 It goes into something in the spirit. 563 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,440 Okay, yeah. 564 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,760 Oh yeah, we're going to Isaiah now. 565 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:13,960 Yeah, my observation, I've been on this for some years where in one of the places, I think 566 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:20,240 it's Bethsaida in Israel, there is what they call a Stella, which is a carved rock that 567 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:28,520 has a little G God carved into it and it's bale and he's like a bull with horns that 568 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,240 are shaped like a crescent moon. 569 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,880 And he's supposed to be the moon God. 570 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:40,240 And there's some evidence that Muhammad was born on Allah's day. 571 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:48,120 And at the time he was born, all of the days of the year had a God. 572 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:55,480 So when he found out that he had started having his experiences and Allah is telling him that 573 00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:02,240 he's the only one, then now he starts to have this monotheistic thing. 574 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:08,360 But the moon God, you see the crescent moon on top of all of the minarets and on top of 575 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,640 all the mosques and on all the flags. 576 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:19,160 So there's something connecting to the moon God, which has gone all the way back to even 577 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:25,840 the golden calf probably had horns like that, that got the Israelites in trouble still at 578 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:26,840 the foot of Mount Sinai. 579 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:27,840 Yeah. 580 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,040 You know, they didn't get very far before they blew it. 581 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:38,000 And what I see is that in Isaiah 14, starting with verse 12, it says, how are you fallen 582 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,560 from heaven, O light bringer and day star, son of the morning in the King James, it says 583 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:49,600 Lucifer, how you have been cut down to the ground, you who weakened and laid low the 584 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,440 nations, O blasphemous satanic king of Babylon. 585 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,360 And you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven. 586 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,440 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. 587 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:05,080 I will sit upon the Mount of assembly in the uttermost north or in the sides of the north, 588 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,760 as the King James says. 589 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,560 And there's only one other place that talks about the sides of the north. 590 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:16,200 And that is in the Psalms where it says, talking about. 591 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,000 Yeah, that's in Psalm 48 verse two. 592 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000 Go ahead, read it. 593 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,160 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God. 594 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,880 And that's Lord is Yehovah. 595 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,740 Greatly to be praised in the city of our God in the mountain of his holiness. 596 00:35:32,740 --> 00:35:38,920 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, 597 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,880 the city of the great King. 598 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,240 So I remember we used to sing a little song, a little chorus on that one. 599 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:46,840 I won't try and try and do that right now. 600 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,000 Maybe you know that's chorus, but but we used to sing the chorus over and over again. 601 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,880 Great is the Lord greatly to be praised. 602 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,080 And I couldn't understand beautiful for situation that just didn't. 603 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,080 I was young. 604 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,080 OK, I didn't get it. 605 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,080 I just didn't get it. 606 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,120 And King James isn't that he's just. 607 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,440 That's true. 608 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,240 And that's all we were reading in those days. 609 00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:11,280 But we were sitting on the southern steps of the Temple Mount and we were singing that 610 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,480 song. 611 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:18,660 And I suddenly realized that just to the south of us was the city of David, where David would 612 00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:19,660 have written that. 613 00:36:19,660 --> 00:36:20,660 Yeah. 614 00:36:20,660 --> 00:36:25,080 And those steps we were sitting on are the actual steps of the first temple. 615 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,080 Yeah. 616 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,080 The first temple. 617 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,080 Some of those are Salomonic. 618 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,080 Yeah. 619 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,080 You can sit on those steps because they haven't been touched. 620 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,080 They're still there. 621 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,080 They're still there. 622 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:40,880 But then I suddenly had this this epiphany that, oh, it's situated beautifully on the 623 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,600 north side of the city of David. 624 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,600 That's where it is. 625 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,840 That's where the threshing floor of Aruna was that where Solomon eventually built the 626 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:49,840 temple. 627 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:50,840 Yeah. 628 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:51,840 OK. 629 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,280 So we see the only other place that that location is talked about is right here where we're 630 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:01,200 talking about Lucifer and where he says, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. 631 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,360 I will sit upon the mount of the assembly, mount of assembly in the uttermost north or 632 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,100 on the sides of the north. 633 00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:13,040 And you have to realize that this whole war going on, which has been going on then going 634 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,400 on now, is the deceiver himself. 635 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:17,400 Absolutely. 636 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,460 That is the bottom line to everything. 637 00:37:20,460 --> 00:37:24,040 And the other thing is who will be worshiped on the temple mount? 638 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,040 Right. 639 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,400 Is it going to be Allah or is it going to be Jehovah? 640 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:34,080 And I think it's also very interesting that where it says I will ascend the word for ascend 641 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,080 there. 642 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,080 That's NASA, is it? 643 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,080 No, this one. 644 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,080 That's the Greek. 645 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,080 I'm sorry. 646 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,240 No, NASA is is one of the Hebrew words for for going up, going up. 647 00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:43,240 OK. 648 00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:44,240 But you know, the word Aliyah. 649 00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:45,240 Yeah. 650 00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:47,280 Aliyah means to ascend. 651 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,280 All right. 652 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,000 So the root word is Allah. 653 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,000 Allah. 654 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,000 Yeah. 655 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,000 Pretty interesting. 656 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,000 Pretty interesting. 657 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,200 That this is going on. 658 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,800 And that's where he's sitting. 659 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:02,520 He's sitting there on the Temple Mount being worshiped in the place where Jehovah was worshiped 660 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,600 all those years. 661 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,200 And you know, he's he's elbowed his way in by deception. 662 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:14,500 And this whole Islam thing, he's determined to take over the world. 663 00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:16,280 You know, that that's his determination. 664 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,480 And he's he's just sure that he can do it. 665 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,640 And he keeps forgetting that that he's on a time clock and he's almost done. 666 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:24,640 Yeah. 667 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:30,200 But anyway, I really think that that's who Allah is, because even the Muslims themselves 668 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:36,840 do not believe that the God of of Judaism is the same God, even though they talk like, 669 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,520 you know, the Jews blew it. 670 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:39,520 Yeah. 671 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,120 They didn't listen to Allah and they didn't listen to his prophet. 672 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,980 So you know, they're in trouble now. 673 00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:47,860 So it's as though they think it's the same. 674 00:38:47,860 --> 00:38:50,100 But yet they they say it's not the same. 675 00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:52,760 And we know for heaven's sakes, it's not the same. 676 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,600 Not absolutely not the same. 677 00:38:54,600 --> 00:39:00,280 The other thing that's very significant is that the Muslims believe that any place where 678 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:05,720 Muslims have been, any place where they've prayed belongs to Islam. 679 00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:06,720 Yeah. 680 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:07,720 Any place they prayed. 681 00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:08,720 Exactly. 682 00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:09,720 Any place they prayed. 683 00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:16,320 So whatever was under the Ottomans or any other Muslim rule, like all the way to Spain, 684 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,800 that's Spain was under under the Moors. 685 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,800 Right. 686 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,720 So they claim Spain and they're expecting to get it back. 687 00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:31,160 And even like I saw a little video clip the other day of in the square of just hundreds 688 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,440 and hundreds of Muslims all bowing down, all that. 689 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,280 And the caption said, is this Mecca? 690 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,840 And underneath says, no, it's London. 691 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:40,940 Exactly. 692 00:39:40,940 --> 00:39:45,440 And they are saying and actually, when we went to hear this man who we got this book 693 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:52,040 from, they were saying that within another 20 years that England will be a Muslim nation. 694 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:57,640 Yeah, because the English are not having babies at a strong enough rate and the Muslims are. 695 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,360 Yeah, they're severely outnumbered and they're in the parliament, they're in the government. 696 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,360 Yeah. 697 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,360 Even in ours too. 698 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,360 Yes. 699 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,560 You can see the handwriting on the wall. 700 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:06,560 That's what they're trying to do. 701 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,320 Because it's world dominion. 702 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,640 And how are they going to rule? 703 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,120 Can I read a little something? 704 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,120 Sure, go ahead. 705 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:19,800 So this is out of their proper English Quran and this is under the title called The Spoils. 706 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,680 And in the footnote here it says, chopping off the heads and fingers of infidels who 707 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,920 are opposed to Allah and Muhammad is taught here. 708 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:34,400 See what is very nice about this edition, you can find stuff very easily and it'll just 709 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:40,360 quicken your mind and you can go through it, you can mark stuff and it'll give you some 710 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:45,960 firepower to say this is what you believe in but if you can't read Arabic you don't 711 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:46,960 know. 712 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:47,960 Yeah. 713 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:48,960 You've been deceived. 714 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:49,960 Right. 715 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,680 So anyway, the direct translation. 716 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:58,520 When your Lord revealed to the angels, I am with you, so make firm those who believed. 717 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,000 I will cast a terror into the hearts of those who become infidels. 718 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,960 So chop on their necks, chop off every finger from them. 719 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:12,280 This is because they have opposed Allah and his messenger and whoever opposes Allah and 720 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,880 his messenger, so surely Allah is severe in the punishment. 721 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:21,680 That is so tasted and that to the infidel the torment of the fire. 722 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:26,360 And another footnote underneath this says, Muslims who turn away from engaging in war 723 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,520 with infidels will burn in hell. 724 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,520 Yeah. 725 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,200 So you can see why they think the way they do. 726 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:37,220 They are believing with all their heart as much as driving Israel into the sea and killing 727 00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:43,960 every Jew as we believe in Jesus Christ and his precious blood as our savior and our healer. 728 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:44,960 Right. 729 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,180 See that's how strong their belief is. 730 00:41:47,180 --> 00:41:53,200 But the most wonderful thing is that when Jesus appears to them and shows them who he 731 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,480 is, they have an instant transformation. 732 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:57,720 Yeah. 733 00:41:57,720 --> 00:42:02,560 Instant repentance and they follow Jesus with that same kind of passion and leave behind 734 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,840 all of the lies and they become lovers of Israel and lovers of the Jews. 735 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:07,840 Yeah. 736 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,720 And there's one other spot here. 737 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:13,280 This is on chapter 47. 738 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,640 It's under the one that's titled Mohammed. 739 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,280 And this is again the footnotes. 740 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:23,140 Muslims should strike the necks, cut off the heads of infidels and those who engage in 741 00:42:23,140 --> 00:42:27,880 war for Allah are assured of the gardens of paradise. 742 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:33,840 So when you meet those who become infidels, so strike the necks, decapitating, parentheses, 743 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,120 until you have made a great slaughter among them. 744 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:42,440 So firmly bind them, so let there neither be free dismissals or for a ransom until the 745 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,900 war is over. 746 00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:48,500 And this way, and if Allah wills, he will take vengeance on them, but he would rather 747 00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:50,800 test some of you by the other. 748 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:56,120 And those who were killed for the sake of Allah, so he will not let their works go astray. 749 00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:01,040 He will guide them and reform their condition and he will admit them into the garden for 750 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,480 which he made known to them. 751 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:09,200 And later on you can find out that garden, it's full of virgins and everything else. 752 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:14,000 So when you have a spirit of lust involved too. 753 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,280 So anyway, that's just a couple of quotes out of the proper English translation of the 754 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,280 Quran. 755 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,280 Yeah. 756 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:27,160 So it gives you an idea of how they are thinking, what they've been taught and how to pray 757 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,920 for them, okay? 758 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:34,680 Because it's a matter of the God of this world has blinded their eyes. 759 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:41,360 And there is a scripture in Isaiah 25 that says that God is going to destroy in the same 760 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:47,800 mountain where it's right now occupied by the wrong entity, that in the same mountain 761 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,200 God is going to destroy this veil. 762 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:56,400 And I'm convinced that this veil in verse seven, it says, he will destroy on this mountain 763 00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,220 the covering of the face that is cast over the heads of all people. 764 00:44:00,220 --> 00:44:04,960 And this is the amplified, it says in mourning and the veil of profound wretchedness that 765 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,000 is woven and spread over all nations. 766 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,920 And I really believe that something is going to happen on the temple mount that Jesus is 767 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:19,720 going to show himself for who he is and all of the veil will be taken away, the deception 768 00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:20,720 will be taken away. 769 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:26,160 Now, I want you to also understand that we have this group of people called Christian 770 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:34,520 Arabs that may be Christians just by birth, not by new birth. 771 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,100 They've been born into Christian families and maybe they go to church or maybe they 772 00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:40,280 don't go to church. 773 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,400 Maybe they light a candle on Christmas or something. 774 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:48,520 But just like any other group of Christians or people group where there are Christians, 775 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,560 there's just many denominations. 776 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:55,720 But most of them, especially the ones that have been there for a very long time, are 777 00:44:55,720 --> 00:45:03,160 either some kind of Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox or Catholic, and they have been taught replacement 778 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,580 theology. 779 00:45:04,580 --> 00:45:10,400 So they don't have a grid for Israel either because they've been taught that the church 780 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,640 replaces Israel. 781 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:18,080 And so most of them are pretty antagonistic towards Israel as well. 782 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:24,360 And now that they're under this so-called Palestinian authority and they didn't elect 783 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,680 Yasser Arafat to speak for them. 784 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,680 Okay. 785 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:35,080 I don't know how all of this happened that Yasser Arafat was chosen to be their spokesperson, 786 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:39,840 but he just stepped up to begin to speak on behalf of the Palestinian people. 787 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,320 We are Palestinians. 788 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:49,120 And began to call them Palestinians after Israel, after 1967, when Israel got the West 789 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,120 Bank back. 790 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,800 They got all of Jerusalem back. 791 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,800 Yeah. 792 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,940 And got Jerusalem back and the Golan Heights and Gaza. 793 00:45:57,940 --> 00:46:07,240 Because in the 1948 war, Jordan had occupied illegally occupied the West Bank and Egypt 794 00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:12,760 had occupied the Gaza Strip and Syria had occupied the Golan Heights. 795 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,120 I guess they were already there. 796 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,280 I'm not sure just where the boundaries were before that. 797 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,240 But anyway, Israel wound up getting all of these places. 798 00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:28,660 And that's when Yasser Arafat began to stand up and make himself known. 799 00:46:28,660 --> 00:46:32,920 And in 1974, Yasser Arafat addressed the UN General Assembly. 800 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:38,000 He said he was holding an olive branch for peace in one hand and a freedom fighters pistol 801 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,000 in the other. 802 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,000 Okay. 803 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:48,640 So, this is written on the website that talks about his Nobel Peace Prize that he split 804 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:53,800 with Rabin and Perez who agreed to start this peace process. 805 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:54,800 Okay. 806 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,320 And some of the Arab Muslims were very upset with Yasser Arafat. 807 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,960 But he said, no, no, don't worry about it. 808 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,560 This is that tequila that I can lie. 809 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:11,800 Okay, I can lie because we're making inroads with the rest of the world by saying these 810 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:12,800 things. 811 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:17,120 But they were really harsh to the Christians. 812 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,800 How many Christians actually lived in Bethlehem? 813 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:26,400 Because I remember we used to go there and there's different shops who still have some 814 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,000 beautiful olive wood. 815 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,000 Yeah. 816 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:36,360 I don't know the actual numbers, but I have an article from 2012 about the world church's 817 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,480 silence in face of Islamic persecution of Palestinian Christians. 818 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,000 And I'll put a link to it in the show notes. 819 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:49,480 But it says after the 1948 war, Christian communities suffered most in the West Bank, 820 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:54,960 not under Israel's occupation, but because Muslim refugees were cynically settled in 821 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,520 their midst by Arab leadership. 822 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,160 Ramallah was 90% Christian before the war. 823 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,160 Wow. 824 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,920 While Bethlehem was 80% Christian. 825 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:09,720 By 1967, more than half of Bethlehem's residents were Muslim, while Ramallah is a large Muslim 826 00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:10,720 city today. 827 00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:13,640 And there's not many left in Bethlehem today. 828 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:14,640 No. 829 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,880 And it says in the first year of the second Intifada, when Arafat's terrorists ravaged 830 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:26,160 Christian towns by gunfire and mortars, 1,640 Christians left Bethlehem and another 880 left 831 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,560 Ramallah. 832 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:32,480 So it's not been easy for the Palestinian Christians. 833 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:38,320 And they have to speak out against the quote unquote Israeli occupation, because if they 834 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:43,320 don't, their silence will be perceived as pro-Israeli by the Muslims. 835 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:44,320 So they- 836 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,680 They're forced, kind of forced. 837 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:46,680 Yeah. 838 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:47,680 Yeah. 839 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:53,720 So this is the kind of situation that there is for the civilians that really aren't involved 840 00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:55,760 in the politics of the thing. 841 00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:03,400 And they say that Hamas won that election in Gaza and got into power in 2006. 842 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,680 Well, that sounds like it was rigged like ours. 843 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:07,680 Yeah. 844 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,640 I'm thinking so. 845 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:17,240 So with regard to the walls and fences that Israel has put up for their security, because 846 00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:22,120 through the years, they've just had one wave of terrorism after another. 847 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,320 Suicide bombers getting on buses and markets. 848 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:26,320 Yeah. 849 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:27,920 All of these things. 850 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:35,040 From the same article from 2012, it says that Israel's barrier helped to restore common 851 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,800 security not just in Israel, but also in Bethlehem. 852 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:43,560 The Church of the Nativity, which Palestinian terrorists defiled in 2002 to escape from 853 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,500 the Israeli army, is now filled with tourists from around the world. 854 00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:52,760 It was a little irksome to me when we went there. 855 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,240 And we went through the wall. 856 00:49:55,240 --> 00:50:00,720 But you had to get off of your Jewish bus and get onto an Arab bus or else have an Arab 857 00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:01,720 driver. 858 00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:03,000 Yeah, because a Jew is not allowed to. 859 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,000 Yeah. 860 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,920 We had a Circassian driver, so he was Muslim, so he was okay. 861 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,280 They're a little more moderate in their behavior. 862 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:17,720 Anyway, we had to leave our Jewish guide behind and take on a guide from Bethlehem. 863 00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:22,520 Well, it turns out the guide that's going to show us all about the birthplace of Jesus 864 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,520 is a Muslim. 865 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,600 And telling you about your Christian heritage. 866 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,840 Yeah, it just doesn't sit very good. 867 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,320 It really didn't feel good. 868 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:31,320 Yeah. 869 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,320 I was very sad. 870 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:39,480 And you can drive down a number of the highways in Israel in what's Judea, Samaria, and there's 871 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,520 a road that would go up to a town and there would be a big red sign on it. 872 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,880 It would be in English, it would be in Hebrew, English, Arabic. 873 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:53,280 And to say this is PA-controlled territory, Jews are not allowed in there. 874 00:50:53,280 --> 00:51:00,760 And we've been behind some of these areas before and it's a usual feeling because they 875 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,560 don't really want to come and get you if you get in trouble. 876 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,720 Yeah, that's the truth. 877 00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:13,280 So that sign, the big red sign reads this, this road leads to area A under the Palestinian 878 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:14,660 authority. 879 00:51:14,660 --> 00:51:20,560 The entrance for Israeli citizens is forbidden, dangerous to your lives, and is against the 880 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,160 Israeli law. 881 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:28,240 So it's because they don't want to have to go in after them and rescue them. 882 00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:30,720 Yeah, because they may lose their lives doing it. 883 00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:31,720 Yeah, and they might. 884 00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:37,680 So just wanted to tell the rest of what that actually says. 885 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,600 So here's the thing, we need to pray. 886 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:47,700 We have seen the move of God change hearts. 887 00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:53,600 We've heard story after story after story of what happens when you start to pray for 888 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:54,720 Muslims. 889 00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:57,560 They start having visions and dreams. 890 00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:03,740 They start seeing healings and their hearts are turned that Jesus is the real Messiah. 891 00:52:03,740 --> 00:52:08,840 He is the one who really loves them and that God is really our Father. 892 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,320 There's no such thing, Allah is not a Father. 893 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,340 He calls his subject slaves. 894 00:52:14,340 --> 00:52:16,600 That's what a Muslim means is submitted. 895 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,200 It means submitted, which really means slave. 896 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,200 Yeah. 897 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:25,280 I mean, we love slaves for Jesus, but he doesn't rule over us with a sword. 898 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:26,280 No he doesn't. 899 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:31,160 We have our choices, but when you're a Muslim, your choices are very limited. 900 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,920 And I want to add one thing. 901 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,440 This is a movie that would be a big help to you. 902 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:37,440 It's called Golda. 903 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:38,440 Oh, yes. 904 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:45,280 It was Ingrid Bergman's last movie and Golda was the lady prime minister of Israel. 905 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,040 She went there on a kibbutz before Israel was a nation. 906 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:53,080 When there was a young lady lived on a kibbutz. 907 00:52:53,080 --> 00:53:00,160 And it's amazing timeline history of, and she was the prime minister in the Yom Kippur 908 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,160 war. 909 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,160 Yeah. 910 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,000 And so you'll get a better perspective of a lot of things. 911 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,000 That's true. 912 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,000 Yeah. 913 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,000 The movie is called Golda. 914 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,000 Beautiful. 915 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,920 I'm not sure what year that was written, but that'll really help you. 916 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:12,920 It's true. 917 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:13,920 It's true. 918 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,960 And I want to add right now, father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are agreeing 919 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:25,400 with our listeners and we're agreeing with your word that you will pour out of your spirit 920 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,800 on all flesh. 921 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:34,720 And Lord, we're asking you to pour out your spirit in Gaza, in the so-called West Bank, 922 00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:41,920 in Bethlehem, in Jerusalem, in all of Israel, Lord, on all the people that are involved. 923 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:46,200 The Israelis as well as the so-called Palestinians. 924 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:51,280 Lord, we're asking you to turn their hearts. 925 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,320 Give them a visitation. 926 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:55,900 Visit them with your love. 927 00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:57,720 Visit them with your life. 928 00:53:57,720 --> 00:53:59,920 Visit them with your light. 929 00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:05,960 Transform their minds and bring them into that relationship with the Prince of Peace 930 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,560 that will transform this situation, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ. 931 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:19,040 And we pray for all of the Muslim nations, all the Muslim multitudes all over the world. 932 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:23,040 And they've spread out to do their worldwide domination. 933 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:24,360 They're trying to do it. 934 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,720 They're ready to launch. 935 00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:29,840 But father, we're asking you to visit them. 936 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:34,740 Visit these sleeper cells that are right here in our own country, that are in almost every 937 00:54:34,740 --> 00:54:36,820 country probably. 938 00:54:36,820 --> 00:54:41,140 Visit them, Lord, and show yourself for who you are. 939 00:54:41,140 --> 00:54:48,500 Bring down that evil snake, just like in Revelation chapter 12, that dragon. 940 00:54:48,500 --> 00:54:54,280 We're asking you to cast down that dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan 941 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,720 who deceives the whole world. 942 00:54:56,720 --> 00:54:58,520 That's what's been going on. 943 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,320 This is the deception of the whole world. 944 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:05,520 And Lord, we're asking you to cast him out into the earth and his angels with him. 945 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:11,400 And we're declaring the power of the blood of Jesus Christ as this accuser of the brethren 946 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,240 is cast down in the lives of the people. 947 00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:21,360 Lord, we're asking you to bring them into life and light and your love through the power 948 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,520 of the blood of Jesus Christ. 949 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,360 Transform their lives, Lord. 950 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,440 Pour out your spirit, we pray, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 951 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:31,440 Amen. 952 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,440 Amen. 953 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:42,480 I just want to encourage you listener to keep on praying and
