00:00:00Welcome to the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast with your host and Bible teacher, Jeffrey Greider.
00:00:08Rightly divided, dispensationally correct, and standing on the authority of the King James Holy
00:00:14Bible. This program is brought to you by NowTheNBegins.com. And good afternoon, everybody.
00:00:22Happy Friday and welcome to this edition of the Prophecy News Podcast. Today, all-out regional
00:00:29war between Israel and Iran in the Middle East is right now the closest it has been since 1948.
00:00:37For years, Israel and Iran have been preparing for the moment when the two adversaries will
00:00:43enter into a direct conflict. Sworn enemies, the armies of both countries have trained
00:00:48for such a scenario. The twin assassinations of two prominent anti-Israeli terrorist
00:00:54leaders just hours apart earlier this week have brought this scenario the closest it has ever been
00:01:01before. Daniel 10, verse 1. In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a thing was revealed
00:01:09unto Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar. And the thing was true, but the time appointed was long.
00:01:16And he understood the thing and had understanding of the vision. Today is day 301 of the
00:01:24Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. It is day 1,600 of 15 days to flatten the curve. And the possibility
00:01:33of all-out regional war in the Middle East between Iran and Israel is at an all-time high.
00:01:39At this very moment, the IDF is on high alert and the United States has sent an armada of warships
00:01:46to the coasts of Lebanon. Israelis have been told to expect a minimum of a thousand rockets
00:01:53to rain down on them, possibly this weekend, from Iran and her myriad proxies. Israel is 100%
00:02:01committed and there is no turning back at this point as a three-front war beckons. Today we bring
00:02:09you all the breaking news about the seemingly unstoppable ramp-up to war in the Middle East
00:02:15and End Times updates from around the globe. Heavenly Father, we thank you, Lord, for your
00:02:22goodness and your mercy. We thank you, God, for waking us up today, for putting food on the table

00:11:00Welcome to the Prophecy News Podcast. We have a full plate today. We have so much that we need to
00:11:08talk about. Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Palestinian Jihad Islamic Army,
00:11:19you name it, all the major players are at the table, and it looks like this thing is getting
00:11:27ready to go. So, let's just get up to speed with what's going on in Israel right now.
00:11:44Hello and welcome to the CBN News YouTube Live Update from Jerusalem. I'm Chris Mitchell.
00:11:49Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has ordered a direct strike on Israel
00:11:54after the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. In Israel and throughout
00:12:00the Middle East, citizens, foreign nationals, businesses, and military personnel
00:12:04are preparing for the possibility of a regional war. Take a look.
00:12:10Many expect Iran, along with its regional proxy groups, is preparing an even larger attack than
00:12:17when it launched more than 350 missiles, rockets, drones, and UAVs into Israel on April 13th.
00:12:24The IDF's chief spokesman announced the military is on high alert
00:12:28for the possible attack that may come on multiple fronts all at once.
00:12:35Both in defense and in attack, IDF forces are deployed in the air, at sea, and on land,
00:12:40and are prepared for any scenario, and especially for the attack plans in the immediate time frame.
00:12:45With the prospect of an all-out war, on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:12:51met with the home front command. Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren,
00:12:56now back in uniform with the Israeli military, tells CBN News Israel is ready.
00:13:02We are prepared for every possible contingency, every possible scenario,
00:13:09and anybody who strikes us will pay a very, very high price.
00:13:12How would you describe the state of readiness of the IDF right now?
00:13:15Very high. Very high. I'm talking to you from the north, from the northern border,
00:13:21and the level of alert here is very high.
00:13:23Israel is coordinating with an international coalition to face potential attacks,
00:13:29and following a call between Netanyahu and President Biden, the U.S. said it's committed
00:13:35to Israel's security from Iranian threats, and announced new U.S. military deployments.
00:13:42Iran's Speaker of Parliament blamed both Israel and the U.S. for the killing of Hamas leader
00:13:47Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, and vowed a massive retaliation at the proper time and place.
00:13:57All right, so we're going to put that on hold for just a second as we get up to speed with
00:14:02what's happening in Israel. This week, Israel took out multiple top leaders in Hamas. He took
00:14:12out two of the three main leaders who run the entire organization, and of course with Ismail
00:14:21Haniyeh, he got taken out in Iran while he slept in his bed. As a result of all these things,
00:14:32the United States has sent an armada of 12 different warships, including the USS Theodore
00:14:41Roosevelt, to Lebanon, and the United States is putting things into place, and by all of the
00:14:50available news channels that we have been able to listen to, a big, big event is about to take place.
00:14:59On the Jerusalem Post earlier today, there was an article saying that
00:15:07the Israeli government is telling their people to be prepared and ready for up to a thousand rockets
00:15:16being fired on them from the northern border, and possibly from Iran as well.
00:15:23The rising Zionist regime should know that it will pay a heavy price for this cowardly
00:15:27The New York Times reporting that Haniyeh was killed by a bomb planted in his apartment two
00:15:31months ago, and Hezbollah is issuing threats as well. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said
00:15:37Thursday Israel will weep for killing its top commander and warn that the war with Israel has
00:15:44entered a new phase. The enemy and those behind the enemy must wage war on each other, and
00:15:51a new phase. The enemy and those behind the enemy must wait for our inevitable reaction.
00:15:59God willing, there is no discussion or controversy about this. It is time to end the charade
00:16:06that the world is playing when it comes to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. They're one in the same.
00:16:13U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham is proposing a resolution that any escalation by Hezbollah
00:16:19against Israel should be viewed as an attack by Iran, and says Israel should go on the offense.
00:16:26It is time to hit the Ayatollah in the pocketbook. His oil refineries are the lifeblood
00:16:33of his regime. Without those refineries, they would not be able to fund terrorism.
00:16:40Despite the anticipated attack from
00:16:42Hezbollah, Israel will not be able to fund terrorism.
00:16:44Now, did you hear what Lindsey Graham said? That without the level of funding that Iran has,
00:16:53they would not be able to keep sponsoring all of the terrorist proxies that they sponsor.
00:17:01And that has always been an issue with the Biden administration. And if you remember what
00:17:10Barack Obama did back when he was president and Joe Biden was vice president, and they released
00:17:18all those billions of dollars in funds back to the Iranian nation, which gave them the ability
00:17:27to fund all of these terror proxy groups that they have in Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon.
00:17:37And let me just pull up this article here from November 15th of 2023. Joe Biden administration
00:17:47extends sanctions waiver, giving Iran access to $10 billion as missiles from Iranian proxies
00:17:58rain down on US troops. So over a year ago, Joe Biden was making it possible for the Iranian nation
00:18:13to wage war on Israel through their terror proxies by making sure that money that's supposed to be
00:18:20frozen gets unfrozen and gets sent to the bank accounts of the Iranian government.
00:18:30And without these type of actions, you wouldn't see Iran operating at the level that it does.
00:18:39It costs billions of dollars to fund Hezbollah and to fund the Houthi rebels and
00:18:48the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It costs billions and billions of dollars to do that.
00:18:58And the Obama administration made sure Iran had all the money that they needed,
00:19:05just as the Biden administration is making sure that Iran has all the money that they need.
00:19:13Multiple enemies. Most Israelis are thrilled at the news that Israeli athletes won two medals
00:19:19at the Olympic Games in Paris. Many see this as a sign of Israeli resilience in the face of threats
00:19:24to the very existence of their country. You know, you can see that resilience in today's Jerusalem
00:19:30Post. You see the pictures of the two. All right. That's enough of that clip. But you get the idea.
00:19:37Iran has said that they are going to attack Israel. And in just a couple of minutes,
00:19:45I'm going to give you, there is a date that the chatter on all the inside channels,
00:19:51the governmental channels, there is a date that they believe is the likely date that Iran
00:19:58is going to attack the nation of Israel. And we will get to that in just a couple of minutes.
00:20:06And we will let you know when these things are supposed to be taking place. But, but,
00:20:16regardless of date prediction, Iran could attack at any moment. Hezbollah could attack at any
00:20:27moment. Hamas has been highly truncated. And over the last 300 days, Israel has gone to very
00:20:38great lengths to limit the offensive capability of Hamas. But Hamas is not gone. Hamas is not dead.
00:20:48And Israel still has to keep an eye over their shoulder for rocket strikes from Hamas.
00:20:56And joining us for the very latest on this is Dr. Malcolm Davis, Senior Analyst in Defense Strategy
00:21:01and Capability at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. Dr. Davis, thanks very much indeed for
00:21:06talking to us this afternoon. Now, let me begin by asking you, are we looking at the possibility
00:21:11for full scale war in the region that includes Iran, Iraq, Yemen and Syria and their proxies
00:21:17on one side and Israel and possibly its allies on the other?
00:21:20I think the answer is definitely yes. I think that this attack by the Israelis against that
00:21:26killed the Hamas leader occurred in Tehran. Whether it was an airstrike or whether it was a pre-deployed
00:21:33bomb, it occurred inside Iranian territory. So the Iranians will retaliate against that.
00:21:38And the question is, how do they do it? When do they do it? And how do the Israelis retaliate
00:21:44in response to that Iranian attack? And I think the real danger here is of an escalatory cycle,
00:21:50a tit-for-tat response going back and forth between Iran and its proxies against Israel and its allies
00:21:56that ultimately leads to a much wider war. So I think, unfortunately, the answer is yes,
00:22:00we are facing that wider war now. Right. So that is certainly a very worrying scenario as we speak.
00:22:07But how does Iran match up to Israel's military presence in the region?
00:22:11How does Iran match up to Israel's military prowess? What are the airstrikes and interception
00:22:15capabilities of Iran and Israel if we were to compare? Well, I think when you look at the
00:22:21April attacks that were conducted by Iran against Israel, the way they coordinated those attacks,
00:22:29they gave Israel's air defence and missile defence alongside US defensive systems time
00:22:37to intercept the attack. I think this time around, the Iranians probably won't be doing that. They
00:22:43will be doing a much more larger scale coordinated attack across multiple fronts that would bring in
00:22:49Hezbollah at the same time as attacks by the Iranians themselves, attacks by groups in Iraq
00:22:55and Syria, and also attacks by Hamas. And so I think that you will see a much more challenging
00:23:02tactical military situation being faced by the Israelis in terms of defending their airspace.
00:23:08Obviously, the Americans will assist where they can, but it's quite possible
00:23:12that on this occasion, the Iranian response will be much more devastating,
00:23:17much more effective than it was in April. Okay, that's an important point you're making there. But
00:23:21let me ask you then, has Israel overstepped here by carrying out these audacious attacks
00:23:26inside of Iran and in Lebanon, in Beirut? Well, I think what the Israelis are trying
00:23:32to do is take out the leadership of the adversaries that they face, particularly in
00:23:37terms of Hamas, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as potentially Hezbollah.
00:23:44And I think that the strategy they seem to be following is by taking out the leadership,
00:23:49it makes the actual fighting forces of their enemies much less effective and thus gives the
00:23:54Israeli Defense Forces an advantage. The risk, of course, is that in doing that, particularly
00:24:00with attacks inside Iran, they generate the very escalatory response they're trying to avoid. So
00:24:05have they stepped over the mark here? I'm not sure because ultimately they do have to
00:24:10win against Hamas. They can't afford to allow Hamas to win. So the lady is asking him,
00:24:15what are the chances of a regional war between Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq,
00:24:32and possibly Egypt? And you heard him say that the chances of a war like that
00:24:38are very, very high. They are extremely likely. Israel has been battling Hamas in Gaza. Let me get
00:24:48an exact date count for you. Israel has been battling Hamas in Gaza for 301 days,
00:24:59and there's no let up in sight. We have been anticipating for the past couple of weeks
00:25:07that a second front is going to break out between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. And now we have
00:25:15this strike that Iran has promised is coming to the nation of Israel. And so what everyone is
00:25:26starting to say that all of these things are going to likely come together at the same time.
00:25:34And let me show you what I mean. Turn to Psalm 83. Turn to Psalm 83 in your King James Bible,
00:25:44and I want to show you what I'm talking about. Psalm 83, verse 1.
00:25:52Keep not thou silence, O God. Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For lo, thine enemies
00:25:59make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against
00:26:05thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come and let us cut them off from
00:26:13being a nation, that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted
00:26:20together with one consent. They are confederate against thee. Now you heard of something called
00:26:29the Six-Day War. And the Six-Day War was a war that took place back in the late 1960s,
00:26:38and five Muslim nations conspired together to come and attack the nation of Israel.
00:26:49Five Muslim nations conspired together to come and attack the nation of Israel, and they call it the
00:26:59Six-Day War because the war only lasted for six days. Now that was not just a military victory.
00:27:11With the odds that were against Israel, 19 years after they were regathered in 1948,
00:27:22and their armies were small, their military was small, they were nowhere near the powerhouse that
00:27:29they are today. And when the Six-Day War started, even the Jewish people did not have a high
00:27:38expectation of winning. They were hoping just to minimize the damage. That's what they were
00:27:46really looking to do. And they were just as shocked and surprised as anybody else
00:27:56when the war turned in their favor to an unbelievably high degree. So back in 1967,
00:28:06you have the Six-Day War, which was a conspiracy between five Muslim nations
00:28:14to come and attack the nation of Israel, and God gave them a victory in an unbelievable way.
00:28:23Now, I submit to you that it is highly possible—highly possible—that the attack is not
00:28:36going to come just from Hezbollah. It's not going to just come from Hamas or the Houthi rebels. It's
00:28:43not going to just come from the nation of Iran. But I submit to you that when this attack comes,
00:28:51be it today or tomorrow or next week or on that date that everybody says it's
00:29:00highly likely, it's going to come as a multi-nation conspiracy.
00:29:08It is going to come as a multi-nation conspiracy.
00:29:14So joining me now, retired Navy Captain Brent Sadler. He is Senior Research Fellow for Naval
00:29:19Warfare and Advanced Technology at the Heritage Foundation's Allison Center
00:29:23for National Security. Brent, good to have you here today. Your thoughts on these huge
00:29:28explosive developments in the Middle East, these two killings within 48 hours that appear to be
00:29:36carried out by Israel in their effort to fight back against Iran and their proxies.
00:29:42Well, thanks for having me on. These last 24 hours have been remarkable, for sure.
00:29:47Taking out the leader of Hamas, a terror organization, a man with 17 American lives
00:29:53on his hands, finally meeting his demise. And then, of course, you've got the senior military
00:29:59leader, Tehezbollah, responsible for an attack that killed children in the Golan Heights,
00:30:04the northern Israel area, just also within the last day or so. So serious, significant events.
00:30:10I think Iran is likely to respond, but I think it's going to be probably a lot more muted than
00:30:16it was in April when it responded to those large number of killings of IRGC generals and senior
00:30:22leadership in Syria. Now, let me just say that that guy may be an expert, but I respectfully
00:30:30disagree with his opinion. It is not going to be a muted response. It is highly likely going to be a
00:30:39coordinated regional response. It is going to be a multi-nation, multi-faction, multi-group
00:30:48response against Israel. And the attempt is going to be to try and overwhelm them
00:30:55at the same time, a blitzkrieg, if you will. Syria earlier this year, again, Iran operates
00:31:04its influence through its IRGC, through the region, and you sever that, they lose a lot of
00:31:08power and influence. And that's actually what's at stake with these leaders being taken off the board.
00:31:16This is Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State, talking about American,
00:31:20U.S. knowledge of any of this. Let's watch.
00:31:24This is something we were not aware of or involved in. The best way to bring temperature down
00:31:31everywhere and to put us on a better path is through a ceasefire in Gaza.
00:31:36Your thoughts on that, sir?
00:31:39Might have been worthwhile not having this administration cut into the loop to make sure
00:31:45that whatever, whoever was planning these attacks would be successful for operational security.
00:31:50Let me just say that I don't see a ceasefire in Gaza happening anytime soon. That is a ridiculous
00:31:58notion. Israel right now, for better or for worse, Israel is past the idea of a ceasefire.
00:32:09Israel is past the idea of negotiating for hostages. In the past week, Israel has taken out
00:32:20high-ranking leaders in Hamas and Hezbollah. The days of negotiating have come to an end.
00:32:30And I do not see how that is ever going to take place now. Israel, they struck at the top.
00:32:41What they did was absolutely spectacular, but it comes with a high price tag.
00:32:50Whatever opportunities that they may have had for hostage negotiations and ceasefires,
00:32:57that is gone, gone, long gone.
00:33:02I would think if Israel was behind it, there would have been at least some forewarning to
00:33:07military forces so that we could be prepared and protect ourselves.
00:33:12Brent Sadler, thank you very much. Hope to have you back soon, sir. Thank you.
00:33:16Well, I didn't really care for that guy's opinion, but I give it to you because I want you to have a
00:33:22balanced look at everything. I'm going to read to you a couple of the headlines in the Jewish press
00:33:31today. On the Times of Israel, let's see what the headlines say for thetimesofisrael.com.
00:33:40IDF chief to troops in Gaza, Israel will go far to strike anyone who attacks us.
00:33:48Poland is warning citizens against travel to Lebanon, Israel, and Iran.
00:33:55Thirteen minutes ago, rocket alert sirens sounding in the communities near Gaza.
00:34:12Turn to Zechariah 12. I was just about to tell you
00:34:21that the nation of Israel right now is quaking. Zechariah 12, verse one. The burden of the word
00:34:30of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretches forth the heavens and lay at the
00:34:35foundation of the earth and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a
00:34:42cup of trembling unto all the people round about when they shall be in the siege, both against
00:34:49Judah and Jerusalem. And in that day, I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people.
00:34:58All that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth
00:35:03be gathered together against it. Now we understand that these passages that I just read
00:35:11from Zechariah chapter 12, that is going to take place during the tribulation. That is going to
00:35:19take place during the time of Jacob's trouble. But what we're seeing right now, Israel is beginning
00:35:28to prepare itself for that time period. Now we know that the rapture comes first. There is no
00:35:35doubt about that. The pre-tribulation rapture of the church comes first. But man, oh man,
00:35:43the entire nation of Israel is quaking and trembling. They're not trembling in fear.
00:35:51They are trembling in anticipation of the war that's coming. They're not running away from
00:36:00the fight. Israel is running into the fight. And as a result of that, the entire nation of Israel
00:36:13right now is trembling and shaking and quaking. They know what's coming. They know what's coming.
00:36:22Here's a report from the other day. U.S. preparing to send combat aircraft to Mideast
00:36:29among rising tensions with Iran and Hezbollah. And it says the U.S. is preparing to deploy
00:36:36warships throughout the Middle East following the escalation of tensions in the region,
00:36:42and our sources in Israel have told us that those warships have already been dispatched
00:36:51as of late afternoon yesterday. So the warships, it's a fleet of 12 battleships, including
00:37:01the USS Theodore Roosevelt, and they are already on their way to the Middle East, to Lebanon,
00:37:09and to defend the nation of Israel against the coming coordinated attacks that are absolutely
00:37:18about to happen. So let's go to this story. This is really, really interesting.
00:37:28Let me just pull up the headline here. This is from the jerusalempost.com. Iran plans to attack
00:37:38Israel on Tisha B'Av, the Jewish day of disasters, western intelligence says. Now,
00:37:47Tisha B'Av is taking place this year. It starts at sundown on August 12th, and it ends on sundown
00:37:57August 13th. And this is a day on the Jewish calendar where unbelievable things have taken
00:38:08place. And let me just give you a quick update of some of those things which have taken place
00:38:17on Tisha B'Av.
00:38:22All right, the first thing that took place on Tisha B'Av was that the Israeli spies came back
00:38:30with a bad report when they were sent to spy out the land of Canaan, and only Joshua and Caleb
00:38:39thought that they could do it. That happened on Tisha B'Av. The second thing that took place on
00:38:48this historic date is Solomon's Temple was burned to the ground somewhere around 423 BC.
00:38:59The third thing that happened on Tisha B'Av, the Jewish people rebelled against the Roman rule,
00:39:08and they were led by a man, Simon Bar Kokhba, and they lost the war in 133 AD.
00:39:18The fourth thing that happened on Tisha B'Av is, in 70 AD, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple
00:39:27in Jerusalem. The fifth thing that happened on Tisha B'Av, the Jewish people in 1298
00:39:38AD were expelled from England, and they were banished. The sixth thing that took place on
00:39:44Tisha B'Av in 1492, the Golden Age of Spain came to a close when Queen Isabella, and her
00:39:56husband Ferdinand, ordered that the Jews be banished from the land, and this order was given
00:40:02in 1492. The order was signed on March 31st, and the Jews were banished from the land.
00:40:13The Jews were banished from the land, and the Jews were banished from the land, and
00:40:20was signed on March 31st, and they were given exactly four months to pack up their stuff and
00:40:31go. You know what date was four months exactly after March 31st of 1492? You guessed it,
00:40:40it was the ninth of Av, Tisha B'Av, the ninth of Av. And then the seventh thing that took place on
00:40:51Tisha B'Av, World War II began in 1914. On Tisha B'Av in 1914, Germany declared war on Russia,
00:41:08effectively catapulting the First World War into motion. Now, why do I tell you about all
00:41:16these unbelievable things that took place on the ninth of Av, Tisha B'Av? Well, the
00:41:26Jerusalem Post is saying today they have decoded chatter on the inside channels that the nation of
00:41:36Iran is planning to launch their response, their attack on Israel and the Jewish people on the
00:41:44ninth of Av, Tisha B'Av. Every major ancient holiday on the Jewish calendar, even Yom Kippur,
00:41:54is ultimately about joy, except for one, Tisha B'Av. On this day, the ninth of the Hebrew month
00:42:00of Av, it's said that a series of major tragedies to the Jewish people occurred, including the
00:42:05destruction of the first and second temples. It's a day of mourning for getting kicked out of the
00:42:10land of Israel, for the destruction of Jerusalem and the medieval expulsions from various lands.
00:42:16It's said that Tisha B'Av is the day when it all went down, literally. Sacred sites, entire
00:42:21communities utterly destroyed, leaving a gaping hole in our collective soul. When life comes
00:42:27crashing down, we're left devastated. We cry, we mourn, we feel isolated. All natural responses to
00:42:34loss. Tisha B'Av is a day of mourning when the Jewish people acknowledge that no, life is not all
00:42:39butterflies and roses, and yes, this tribe has been through some serious suffering. The time prior to
00:42:45this day is known as the three weeks. The period starts with a fast on the 17th of Tammuz, when the
00:42:51siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE began, and intensifies during the last nine days, when the walls were
00:42:58breached until the 9th of Av, when the ancient temple fell. The whole period is somber, and it's
00:43:04customary not to hold weddings during this time. Traditional Jews stop shaving, cutting their hair,
00:43:09and listening to music. During the nine days, some also refrain from eating meat and drinking alcohol.
00:43:15The final day is Tisha B'Av, a 24-hour fast. In the evening, it's common to sit on low stools,
00:43:23or the floor at synagogue, and to hear the book of Echa, Lamentations, chanted by candlelight. The book,
00:43:29traditionally ascribed to Jeremiah, brings readers on a graphic journey of the destruction of
00:43:33Jerusalem by the Babylonians. Silence sit on the ground the elders of fair Zion. They have strewn
00:43:40dust on their heads and girded themselves with sackcloth. The maidens of Jerusalem have bowed
00:43:45their heads to the ground. My eyes are spent with tears, my heart is in tumult. My being melts away
00:43:51over the ruin of my poor people, as babes and sucklings languish in the squares of the city.
00:43:58The melodies of the day are like a dirge, a time of reflection, as Lamentations concludes,
00:44:03Hashiveinu Adonai, turn us to you, holy one, and we will return. Renew us as before. Following the
00:44:10reading, it's customary not to greet each other, and to leave in silence, honoring the lives lost
00:44:15in the sacred space of introspection. When a dark history seems to follow an entire people around,
00:44:21it's only natural to ask why, or how could this be? Sometimes these questions are real,
00:44:27and sometimes they're more like a lament. Why me? Why us? How could this have happened?
00:44:33Echa translates literally to how, as in, how could this be? Jewish thinkers have struggled
00:44:40to understand these questions for thousands of years. Historians see these as historical events,
00:44:46where one nation overpowered another, but the rabbis understood them differently.
00:44:50In Hebrew, Sinat Chinam, baseless or useless hatred, was rampant throughout the land. The
00:44:55rabbinic tradition understood the loss of Jerusalem and the Temple to be the divine consequence
00:45:00of the people's unethical behavior. That's why this day is also a time to consider improving
00:45:05our own words and actions in the world, especially how we treat others. Tisha B'Av comes in the midst
00:45:12of summer and yanks people out of that summertime and the living is easy feeling. The day invites
00:45:17Jews to turn inward and consider what it means to face national, spiritual, and individual darkness
00:45:22and loneliness. With a reflective heart, the next turn is outward, towards the light of life again,
00:45:28which renews a people's connection to God, to each other, and to the world. The spiritual
00:45:33turns of Tisha B'Av prepare the Jewish people for the biggest turn of the year,
00:45:37just seven short weeks away, when the shofar calls our attention to Rosh Hashanah and the new year.
00:45:50So there's just a little bit of a look at this Jewish day, Tisha B'Av, the ninth of Av, and
00:45:59over the centuries, unbelievable things, and I gave you seven of them just before,
00:46:06over the centuries, unbelievable things related to Israel and the Jewish people
00:46:12have taken place on the ninth of Av, and it is no coincidence, it is no surprise
00:46:22that Iran is planning to attack Israel on Tisha B'Av, which is going to take place in 10 days
00:46:30from today, but it is highly likely that we are going to see things happening, and rockets
00:46:41exploding, and missiles being fired, and acreage set on fire before we get to the ninth of Av,
00:46:52and a number of people in the chat room have been asking,
00:46:58will we do a live podcast when the war starts, and absolutely. If you remember last year on
00:47:07October 7th, 2023, it was a Saturday morning. We started creating content around seven o'clock
00:47:17Saturday morning on October 7th, and we had a live two-hour podcast from noon to two o'clock
00:47:25eastern time, and Lori and I sat there in the studio, and we covered the events as they were
00:47:32unfolding for 16 hours, and we covered absolutely anything and everything that we felt would be of
00:47:41interest to you guys, and so to answer the question, will we do a special live podcast
00:47:52when the war takes place? Absolutely we will, and keep us in prayer about that, that God would
00:47:58continue to give us much wisdom and guidance. Jan Lacker says in the chat room, we are getting
00:48:06so close. We absolutely are. Kimmy D is asking, who are the sons of Lot? Turn to Genesis chapter 19.
00:48:20Who are the sons of Lot? Well, those sons of Lot, we don't know the first batch of sons.
00:48:33They didn't make it out of Sodom and Gomorrah, but the second batch of sons
00:48:42that were born to Lot, we read about in Genesis chapter 19 verse 30.
00:48:48And Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountain and his two daughters with him, for he
00:48:54feared to dwell in Zoar, and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. And the first said unto
00:49:01the younger, our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the
00:49:07manner of all the earth. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him,
00:49:13that we may preserve his seed, that we may preserve seed of our father. And verse 33 and verse 34
00:49:23and verse 35 tells you that the twin daughters of Lot got their father drunk and conceived children
00:49:32by him. And in verse 36 it says, thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father,
00:49:41and the firstborn bear a son, and called his name Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites
00:49:50unto this day. And the younger, she also bear a son, and called his named Benami. The same is the
00:49:57father of the children of Ammon to this day. So turn to the book of Daniel.
00:50:05Turn to the book of Daniel. During the time of the tribulation, there is only
00:50:14two places on the entire earth that Antichrist cannot get his hand on. Daniel 11 verse 41.
00:50:26Daniel 11 41, he shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown,
00:50:34but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
00:50:43And we understand that this area, which is in Jordan, eastern Jordan, this area is also known
00:50:53today as the Red Rock City of Sila Petra. So during the time of Jacob's trouble, at the start
00:51:05of the Great Tribulation, Jesus says in Matthew 24 16, let them which be in Judea flee to the
00:51:12mountains. And they're going to flee to the Red Rock City of Sila Petra. And in the Bible, that
00:51:22is known as Edom and Moab. And what's going to happen for a seven-year period, God is going to
00:51:32swap land with Satan. God is going to allow Satan to control the entire earth except for
00:51:45Edom and Moab, which is the Red Rock City of Sila Petra. And that is where the Jewish people are
00:51:54going to be kept safe for a time, times, and the dividing of time. And so that's what happened with
00:52:03the children that were born to Lot through his two daughters. They became the bastard nations
00:52:12of Edom, Moab, and Ammon. And that's exactly where the Jewish people are going to hide
00:52:21during the time of Jacob's trouble. And if you want more information on this,
00:52:29you can go to NowTheEndBegins.com and just type in the word SILAH. S-E-L-A-H. If you have a King
00:52:38James Bible, that word appears 75 times. If you have an NIV Bible published after 2011,
00:52:47that word does not appear at all. But that's what's going to be taking place at Sila Petra
00:53:00with Edom and Moab. And Antichrist is going to be very aggravated that he cannot get his hands
00:53:08on that land. And that, of course, is where God is going to keep the Jewish people safe
00:53:17for three and a half years. All right, a quick update from Bibles Behind Bars. We have been
00:53:29getting so many requests this summer from jails and prisons and detention centers, and what a
00:53:37blessing that it is. We are getting more Bibles out this year than we ever have before. And this
00:53:46is only possible, this is only possible because you pray for this ministry and you donate so that
00:53:56we can continue to do these amazing outreaches. I got an email earlier today. Well, actually,
00:54:04no. I got an email a couple of days ago from a woman named Cecilia, and she works at the Obeon
00:54:13County Jail, and she wrote to tell me, we do not have an official chaplain, and she is the one
00:54:25that is filling in. She is the counselor, she is the chaplain, and she is trying her very, very best
00:54:34to make sure that they continue to have a supply of Bibles for the people in their facility.
00:54:42There's 149 people who are inmates at the Obeon County Jail, and I wrote back to her and said,
00:54:51we are sending you 150 King James Bibles, and they are going to go out first thing Monday morning.
00:55:00We have been getting so many requests from jails, from prisons, from detention centers,
00:55:08from homeless shelters, and from individuals all across America, all over the world.
00:55:18The need for Bibles has never, ever been higher. If you would like to help us to continue to do
00:55:27this, to send Bibles to places like the Obeon County Jail and all the other places that write
00:55:35to us and call us and request Bibles, please go to BiblesBehindBars.com, click on the donate button,
00:55:44and help us to continue to fund this very necessary and very important end times outreach
00:55:53to jails and prisons across America. People are getting saved. Over 433 people,
00:56:05since we started Bibles Behind Bars, over 433 people have heard the gospel, believe the gospel,
00:56:17and gotten saved as a direct result from the efforts of Bibles Behind Bars.
00:56:25433 souls saved, and those are just the ones that we know about. We need your help.
00:56:36Please go to BiblesBehindBars.com, click on the donate link, and if God has prospered you,
00:56:43be as generous as you possibly can be. It costs thousands and thousands of dollars
00:56:50every single month to send out the amount of Bibles that we're sending out. We need your
00:56:56prayers, and we need your generous financial support. Thank you so very, very much.
00:57:03Jen has a question. Joel chapter 2, is that us in our glorified bodies?
00:57:13Let's turn to Joel chapter 2, and let's see if I can find the verse that she is referring to.
00:57:21Joel chapter 2, and let's see what would look like a glorified body verse.
00:57:33Joel chapter 2.
00:57:40I do not see the particular verse that you're talking about.
00:57:46If you can just post that into the chat room, Joel chapter 2 covers a lot of ground. Most of
00:57:53this is during the time of Jacob's trouble, but if you give me the exact verse number,
00:58:00I will take a shot at answering your question. In the meantime, what would it look like
00:58:11if Israel, and I want you to think about this now,
00:58:17what would it look like if on Tisha B'Av, a multi-nation confederacy comes after,
00:58:26okay, Jen says verses 1 through 11 of Joel chapter 2.
00:58:56The appearance of them, verse 4, is as the appearance
00:59:16of horses, and as horsemen so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the top of mountains
00:59:23shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubbles. As a strong
00:59:29people set in battle array, behold their face, the people shall be much pained. All faces shall
00:59:36gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men, they shall climb the wall like men of war,
00:59:46lost my place, hold on, and they shall march everyone on his ways. They shall not break
00:59:52their ranks, they shall run to and fro in the city. Let's just go down to verse 10 and 11.
01:00:02The earth shall quake before them, the heaven shall tremble, the sun and the moon shall be dark,
01:00:07and the stars shall withdraw their shining. And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army,
01:00:15for his camp is very great, for he is strong that executed his word, for the day of the Lord is
01:00:22great and very terrible. Who can abide it? Well, Jen is asking, what army is that? Turn to
01:00:33Revelation chapter 19. Revelation chapter 19. If you listen to the Greek and Hebrew scholars,
01:00:42they will tell you that the passages that I just read to you from Joel chapter 2 verses 1 through
01:00:4911 are the armies of Antichrist, but they're not. That is the Lord's army. And we see this army in
01:00:59Revelation chapter 19. Revelation chapter 19 verse 1. And I saw heaven opened and behold a white
01:01:08horse, and he that sat on him was called Faithful and True. And in righteousness he doth judge and
01:01:14make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns. And he had a name
01:01:21written that no man knew but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and
01:01:27his name is called the Word of God. And the armies, Revelation 19.14. And the armies which were in
01:01:36heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. This is absolutely
01:01:45the body of Christ in our glorified bodies, suiting up for battle. And this is the war
01:01:54that Joel talks about in Joel chapter 2. We are the Lord's army. We are the Lord's army.
01:02:05And we are going to have glorified bodies, and we can be hit with the sword, and it's just going to
01:02:12go right through us. You can't kill a glorified body with a physical sword. Can't be done.
01:02:22Joel chapter 2 verse 8. Neither shall one thrust another, they shall walk every one in his path,
01:02:29and when they fall upon the sword they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city,
01:02:36they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses, they shall enter in at the windows
01:02:42like a thief. Jesus says, behold I come as a thief. And we are that end times army, the army that Joel
01:02:54chapter 2 calls the Lord's army, that is absolutely made up of the body of Christ. Now, it doesn't have
01:03:07to be limited to the body of Christ. You could have the tribulation saints, they could be coming back
01:03:15with us, the souls from under the altars, the ones that died during the tribulation.
01:03:23Look at Revelation chapter 20. Look at verse 4. Revelation chapter 20 verse 4.
01:03:33And I saw thrones and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw the souls
01:03:40of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not
01:03:46worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their
01:03:52hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Jen says, will we be eliminating
01:04:02people or rescuing hostages? Both. We will be annihilating the armies of Antichrist, and we will
01:04:12be rescuing the Jewish remnant at the red rock city of Sila Petra, or Petra. And so very very good
01:04:24questions about the end times army of Joel chapter 2. Now, speaking of the army, and speaking of
01:04:33battle and war, let's just say that a multi-nation confederacy comes after Israel sometime in the
01:04:46next couple of days, maybe even on the ninth of Av, and let's just say that it is a overwhelming
01:04:56force, and Israel has to resort to using tactical precision nuclear weapons. What would a nuclear war
01:05:10scenario look like for the nation of Israel? Take a listen to this. War between Israel and Hamas is
01:05:20further complicating nuclear dynamics in the region. The prospect of nuclear conflict in the
01:05:25Middle East, once unthinkable, is now a very real possibility. Today we're going to explore the
01:05:29unthinkable. How would Israel respond during a nuclear conflict? What's Israel's nuclear war plan?
01:05:35How many nuclear weapons are readily available to the prime minister? Where are they? What are their
01:05:40targets? How many missiles would be launched? How many casualties could we expect after Israeli
01:05:44bombs reach their destinations? What would the Middle East look like going forward? And most
01:05:49importantly, could Israel win a nuclear war? Israel operates under a nuclear triad consisting
01:06:02of land-based road mobile intermediate range ballistic missiles, or IRBMs, sea-based submarines,
01:06:08armored submarine launch cruise missiles, or SLCMs, and air-based tactical bombers carrying
01:06:13gravity bombs. Now let's take a look at each part of Israel's triad and its weapon delivery systems.
01:06:19The first and most well-known part of Israel's nuclear triad is its land-based road mobile
01:06:23intermediate range ballistic missiles, or IRBMs. Israel's road mobile IRBM force is comprised of 46
01:06:29intermediate range ballistic missiles, each mounted on a seven-axle chassis mobile launch vehicle.
01:06:35Israel's ballistic missile program dates back to the early 1960s. In April of 1963,
01:06:42several months before the Dima reactor began producing plutonium, Israel signed an agreement
01:06:46with the French company Dassault to produce a short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile.
01:06:49The missile system became known as the Jericho, and the program was completed in the early 1970s,
01:06:54producing 24 to 30 missiles. The Jericho had a range of over 300 miles, traveled at speeds of
01:06:59over 3,800 miles per hour, reaching its target in around seven minutes, standing at a height
01:07:03of 44 feet with a one-meter diameter and a total launch weight of 15,000 pounds. The missile used
01:07:08a two-stage solid propellant engine that could be launched from a railroad flat truck or mobile
01:07:13launch vehicle. Each Jericho missile carried a 20 kiloton nuclear warhead. The range of the first
01:07:17Jericho was sufficient to strike major cities, such as Damascus and Cairo, from secure launch
01:07:22locations. In the late 1980s, Israel co-developed a two-stage solid-field medium-range ballistic
01:07:27missile with South Africa codenamed the Jericho II. The Jericho II had an increased range of 930
01:07:33miles and, for the first time, put the southernmost Soviet cities and Black Sea Fleet within nuclear
01:07:38strike range. A modified version of the Shevet space rocket, the Jericho II was first deployed
01:07:42in the early 1990s, replacing the Jericho I. The Jericho II was first flight tested in May of 1987
01:07:48to approximately 527 miles, with its trajectory going far into the Mediterranean Sea. Another test
01:07:54in 1989 reached over 800 miles. Each Jericho II missile could be launched from a silo, railroad
01:08:00flat truck, or mobile launch vehicle. The Jericho's mobility allows it to be hit and moved quickly or
01:08:04kept in a hardened silo, increasing its resilience against a preemptive strike. Each Jericho II can
01:08:09carry a one megaton nuclear warhead. Each warhead has an explosive yield of 125 times the destructive
01:08:15power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Given that approximately half of Iran, including Tehran, is
01:08:19beyond the range of the Jericho II medium-range ballistic missile, Israel is currently upgrading
01:08:23its arsenal with the newer and more capable three-stage Jericho III intermediate-range ballistic
01:08:28missile. The Jericho III has a range of over 2,500 miles, giving it the capability to target all of
01:08:32Iran, Pakistan, and all of Russia west of the Ural Mountains, including, for the first time, the
01:08:36nation's capital, Moscow, with a population of over 12.6 million. The Jericho III was first test
01:08:41launched over the Mediterranean Sea in January of 2008 and entered service in 2011. Unidentified
01:08:47defense sources claim that the Jericho III constitutes, quote, a dramatic leap in Israel's
01:08:51nuclear missile capabilities. That's because the Jericho III missile is equipped with either one
01:08:55400-kiloton nuclear warhead or up to three 150-kiloton independently targetable reentry
01:09:00vehicles. Each warhead has 50 times to 20 times the destructive power of the bombs dropped on
01:09:04Japan in 1945, respectively. So that just gives you a little bit of an idea of some of the nuclear
01:09:14capability of the nation of Israel. Israel never talks about their nuclear power. They never talk
01:09:23about how many missiles and bombs that they have. But as you can see, other people have figured out
01:09:30to a high degree what Israel has. And so one of the things that we have to look at, and this is
01:09:39one reason why the United States is right now putting itself in place in the Middle East to
01:09:48Israel. They are doing that because they are trying to prevent nuclear war. If the United
01:09:58States didn't stand side by side with Israel, and Israel was attacked by a multi-nation confederacy,
01:10:06it is a guaranteed fact that Israel would be forced to turn to their nuclear weapons
01:10:14as a last-ditch effort to fend off destruction.
01:10:23Israel is a very powerful country, but they are not so big and so powerful
01:10:31that they could take on four, five, or six different nations by themselves outside of
01:10:39the miraculous saving power of God. Now, I was talking to you earlier about the Six-Day War,
01:10:52and that's exactly what happened. Israel did not have any nuclear capabilities.
01:10:59They didn't have much of hardly anything in 1967. But what they did have is they had a very
01:11:12strong trust that the God that had brought them to the promised land in 1948, just 19 years earlier,
01:11:22would be the same God that would deliver them and keep them safe
01:11:32in the Six-Day War. And I told you that the Jewish people and the Jewish soldiers and the
01:11:40Jewish command, they were as surprised as absolutely anybody else when the war turned
01:11:48in their favor so quick and so fast and so dramatically that it was over. It was over and
01:11:56done in a mere six days. And even to this day, Israel acknowledges that it was a miraculous
01:12:06victory that God had given them. But now, what if, just imagine, what if
01:12:14this time around, as God is preparing the nation of Israel to go through the time of Jacob's
01:12:24trouble, what if God doesn't bail them out at the last second? What if God allows them
01:12:37to be broken down and driven out? And, of course, that's exactly what you would expect to see
01:12:49living in these last days that we're living in now. And at some point, God is going to allow
01:12:57the Jewish people to be driven out. But let's just take a listen to this.
01:13:04It's called, The Miracle of the Six-Day War, and it really, truly, absolutely was a modern-day
01:13:14miracle. The Six-Day War, from a 50-year perspective, the Jewish people miraculously
01:13:26saved by the hand of God. Will he do it again?
01:13:36On June 4, 1967, the infant state of Israel found itself on the brink of annihilation.
01:13:43Israelis still lived with the agonizing memory of the Holocaust. Now, the Arab nations surrounding
01:13:49Israel vowed to make the Blue Mediterranean run red with the blood of Jews.
01:13:54We were thinking in terms of the Israelis are going to be thrown to the water.
01:14:01On the morning of June 5, 1967, Eitan Ben Eliyahu flew one of the first missions
01:14:07against Egyptian airfields in the Sinai.
01:14:10This is a matter of life and death. This is a matter of Israel is going to be destroyed.
01:14:19People were in panic. People were talking about the imminent destruction of the state of Israel,
01:14:27of a war in which there will be an enormous number of casualties,
01:14:31at least 10,000 people will be killed.
01:14:34Rabbis in Jerusalem anticipated so many deaths, they actually designated all of the public parks
01:14:40in Jerusalem as cemeteries. Just before the war, the joke in Israel was, last one's out,
01:14:46turn off the lights. But this black humor didn't mask the fear
01:14:51that many Israelis genuinely anticipated a catastrophe.
01:14:55Israel found itself outnumbered and outgunned on three fronts,
01:14:59Egypt to the south, Jordan to the east, and Syria to the north.
01:15:03The Soviet Union had poured $2 billion worth of arms into the Arab nations.
01:15:08Israel's enemies brought twice as many soldiers,
01:15:11three times as many tanks, and four times as many airplanes to the battlefield.
01:15:16But just before the war, Egypt, Israel's main enemy,
01:15:20suffered a series of major mistakes and mishaps.
01:15:24There was this miscommunication between the president, Nasser, and his top generals,
01:15:33and everything didn't work according to what they thought.
01:15:38And when the war broke, you could see and hear, which we did.
01:15:43We heard them. You could see and hear that the Egyptian high command was not in control.
01:15:47Egypt's high command also dismissed warnings by mid-level Egyptian intelligence officers
01:15:53of an imminent Israeli air attack. The night before the war, Egypt's commander-in-chief,
01:15:58Abed Amir, gathered his high command for a party at an air base far away from the front lines.
01:16:05They were caught by surprise, totally. I mean, some of them were trying to
01:16:10take to the air in order to join their units. They couldn't do it.
01:16:14Two weeks before the war, Egypt replaced nearly all of its commanders in Sinai
01:16:19with officers unfamiliar with the terrain. On the morning of June 5th, Jordanian radar
01:16:25detected the Israeli air force taking off. They sent a red alert to Cairo,
01:16:30but the decoding officer used the wrong day's code and failed to decipher the vital information.
01:16:36The warning never came. Instead, the Israeli air force decimated the Egyptian air force
01:16:45on the ground, the key to the outcome of the war. Some, like author Sarah Riegler,
01:16:50who's written on the Six-Day War, believe this series of Egyptian mistakes
01:16:54reveals the work of an unseen hand. You can say, oh, wow, what a lucky coincidence,
01:17:01where you can see the divine hand. We see that God arranged all these things to happen the way
01:17:07they did because he wanted the Israeli strike to succeed. He wanted us to win. He wanted us
01:17:13to regain our holy places. To some, the confusion in the Egyptian command just before the war
01:17:19evoked memories of the biblical story of Gideon routing the enemies of Israel.
01:17:25Instead of annihilation, Israel won one of the most decisive victories in military history.
01:17:31Many Orthodox Jews and Christians believe the Jewish nation had witnessed a miracle.
01:17:37For evangelical Christians, the Six-Day War was a huge moment of seeing God's hand intervene on
01:17:43behalf of the Jewish people. I mean, that was what really was, I think, so extraordinary,
01:17:46is that you had this moment where Arab leaders, Islamic leaders, were saying,
01:17:52we're going to throw Jews into the sea. And it looked like another Holocaust was imminent.
01:17:57And suddenly, in six days, the Jewish people defended themselves, destroyed their enemies,
01:18:04tripled their land, recaptured control of Jerusalem for the first time in 2,000 years.
01:18:10And on the seventh day, they rested. That just sounded way too biblical for
01:18:13evangelicals all over the planet. And they rejoiced with the Jewish people.
01:18:17In the immediate aftermath of the war, everyone, religious and secular alike,
01:18:21recognized that this was from God, because it was just so implausible. I mean, here everybody
01:18:26was expecting a tremendous defeat. This is a miracle. Even Moshe Dayan, who was the commander
01:18:34of the Israeli forces and who was a very secular person, he went to visit the Western Wall the day
01:18:40after it was liberated. And there's a tradition to put, you know, like put a little note to God
01:18:45in the wall. So he put a little note to God between the crevices of the wall. And of course,
01:18:51as soon as he left, the newspaper men, in their difficult, discreet way, ran and took the note out
01:18:58and read it. What did it say? And it was a line from Psalms that said,
01:19:03this is from God. It's wondrous in our eyes.
01:19:07So there's just some reminiscences and recollections 50 years after
01:19:18the Six-Day War took place, and God indeed did the miraculous.
01:19:27He did something that was so over the top that even if you were an atheist, you were forced to
01:19:36admit that a higher hand stepped in and did something for the Jewish people that the Jewish
01:19:45people were not capable of doing for themselves at that time. So the question that we ask,
01:19:55what will God likely do now?
01:19:59Will God give the Jews another miraculous victory, or is what's taking place now
01:20:08preparation for the coming driving out of the Jews from Israel? And I don't know if that's
01:20:17going to happen before the rapture or after the rapture, but I know this. I know that by the time
01:20:24I know that by the time you get to the start of the Great Tribulation in Matthew 24,
01:20:32and the Antichrist sits down in the rebuilt temple, Jesus says this,
01:20:42Matthew 24, verse 15, when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of
01:20:49by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place, whoso readeth let him understand,
01:20:55then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains, let him which is on the housetop not
01:21:02come down to take anything out of his house, neither let him which is in the field return
01:21:06back to take his clothes, and woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those
01:21:12days, but pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day, for then shall
01:21:20be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever
01:21:27shall be. The Jewish people are going to be driven out of the land of Israel one more time.
01:21:36Their restoration with God, they have been back in the land for 75 years,
01:21:46they are not a restored people. 76 years, excuse me. They have been regathered,
01:21:54but they have not been restored to a right relationship with God. That can only come
01:22:01at the end of the time of Jacob's trouble. That's when Israel is going to be restored
01:22:12to a right relationship with their creator. Now, we got about five minutes left.
01:22:22Let's just take a look at the headlines and see things that are going on.
01:22:27If you've been following the news at all, if you've been following, you know that a transgender boxer
01:22:35almost beat a biologically female opponent to death.
01:22:43Well, this was a moment of history. It happened earlier today in France and a major controversy
01:22:48too has now erupted out of Paris. An Algerian boxer shown in the red uniform who failed a
01:22:55gender eligibility test last year has now won an opening fight after only 46 seconds.
01:23:03Her opponents breaking down in tears, calling it, quote, unjust. Greg Palka picks it up from
01:23:10London with more on what happened in the ring. Greg. Hey, Bill. Yeah, big controversy indeed
01:23:16at the Olympics. A boxer deemed a biological male beating an Italian female opponent with the
01:23:22Italian crying out, I couldn't take it anymore. Despite failing that gender test by the
01:23:27International Boxing Association and being banned from an international tournament last year,
01:23:32Algerian 25 year old Iman Khalif was okayed by Olympic authorities to compete.
01:23:38And apparently today it was a very one sided fight with Italian Angela Carini, also 25.
01:23:44After just 46 seconds and several sharp punches to the head, including the nose by Khalif,
01:23:51Carini abandoned the fight, threw her helmet to the floor, stormed off the boxing ring and,
01:23:56in fact, went on to say that she had never felt such strong blows in a contest before.
01:24:02Now, Algerian Khalif has competed for several years in other international tournaments,
01:24:07including the Olympics, but was banned last year due to, according to officials,
01:24:11elevated levels of testosterone. Algerian sports officials have called the charges against Khalif
01:24:16baseless, but others have raised concerns about the health of opposing athletes when,
01:24:21So we shared that video of that male boxer, that transgender boxer,
01:24:30brutally beating his female opponent. And that video has been watched almost 200,000 times
01:24:40in 24 hours. To say that this is a big story is an understatement. This is a scandal.
01:24:50Is what this is. This isn't just a big story. This is a scandal. And that's exactly what you
01:25:00would expect to see. At the Olympic Games that started the way that these started
01:25:08with the days of lot and the LGBTQ and all those different things.
01:25:14I posted this on X earlier. Emmanuel Macron looking at transgender boxer
01:25:25Imane Khalif like he's a mid-afternoon snack. And I quoted Daniel 1137,
01:25:34neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women,
01:25:39nor regard any God for he shall magnify himself above all. And I want you to see,
01:25:47well, if you're not in the chat room, you can't see it, but you can go to our X channel and you
01:25:55can see the look on Emmanuel Macron's face when he is having a conversation with the transgender
01:26:02boxer. And I don't think I've ever seen a look on his face like that before.
01:26:11He looks like a school boy in love is what he looks like.
01:26:17He looks like a school boy in love. Rapture 57 says, don't forget about the transgender swimmers.
01:26:24And we don't have time to talk about that. But yes,
01:26:28trans genders have been launched into the Olympic games and they are going to
01:26:37make a huge change. They're going to make a big difference and all of it bad. Every single bit
01:26:44of it is bad. This world is preparing itself for the time of Jacob's trouble. This world
01:26:50is preparing itself to go into the days of Noah and the days of lot.
01:26:58The stock market has dropped almost a thousand points in the last 24 hours. Unemployment
01:27:05rises to nearly 5%. The NASDAQ 100 is going through a correction. AI stocks are sinking.
01:27:16The treasury yields signal growing jitters. And in the midst of it all, we see
01:27:26news about Kamala Harris and nothing but news about Kamala Harris all day, every day.
01:27:36At this point, I really don't see that Donald Trump has a chance in a thousand to win the
01:27:43election. I'll vote for him. But at this point, the forces that have allied themselves against
01:27:53Donald Trump are very, very severe indeed. One closing note, the first big tropical storm
01:28:03of the summer, it's not yet a hurricane, but it is scheduled to blow through central
01:28:11to north Florida. And that's right where we are located. So please pray for the people in the path
01:28:20of this upcoming tropical storm that is going to hit probably sometime Saturday night down in
01:28:30Key West. And it should be hitting where we are sometime around Monday night. But it looks like
01:28:40it's going to be a very, very big tropical storm, possibly a hurricane. It doesn't have a name yet,
01:28:49but please pray for everybody in Florida in the path of that tropical storm. And with that,
01:28:57we have come to the end of our time for today. If something goes crazy in the Middle East,
01:29:04if something goes haywire with Israel, we, Lord willing, will jump behind the microphone
01:29:12and we will cover it live. So no need to worry about that. We will do our very best
01:29:18to bring you all the breaking news as it continues to take place. Thank you very much for being part
01:29:25of the NTEB global family of Bible believers across America and around the world. Lord willing,
01:29:33we'll see you back here Sunday night, 7 p.m. for another NTEB rightly dividing
01:29:39King James Bible study. Have a great weekend, everybody.
01:29:49The sky shall
01:29:51unfold.
01:30:02Preparing hills and trenches. The stars shall applaud.
01:30:21Here with thunders of praise. The sweet light in his eyes
01:30:43shall enhance those awaiting. And we shall behold him.
01:31:12Then face to face.
01:31:24We shall behold him.
01:31:34Yes, we shall behold him.
01:31:46Face to face in all of his glory.
01:32:00We shall behold him.
01:32:12We shall behold him.
01:32:24Face to face, our Savior and Lord.
01:32:44And the angels shall sound the shout of his coming.
01:33:05And the sleeping shall rise from their slumbering place.
01:33:25And those who remain shall be changed in a moment.
01:33:43And we shall behold him.
01:33:53Then face to face.
01:34:01We shall behold him.
01:34:11Yes, we shall behold him.
01:34:19Then face to face in all of his glory.
01:34:33We shall behold him.
01:34:43We shall behold him.
01:34:53Face to face, my Savior and Lord.
01:35:09And we shall behold him, our Savior and Lord.
01:35:39Lord.
