The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar suggests the Hamas/Israel war might come to an end in the coming days. The Biden-Harris administration will likely try to take credit for any potential peace upon hostage releases. Kamala Harris said last March, however, that Israel going into Rafah, Gaza, would be a “huge mistake.” Joe Biden has also pushed very hard to seemingly prevent what now is actually, and miraculously happening, the practical end of both Hamas and Hezbollah. On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, for decades now, Israel has battled against its major foes Hamas and Hezbollah nearly to a draw, and from an outsider perspective from across the sea, one that has been very frustrating to watch. We all know how powerful the Israeli military is, and how they could, if they wanted to, eradicate their enemies almost at will. But until this moment, the will has not been there, and it has been an endless revolving door. Now all that has changed in just the past few months, Israel has awoken, and their enemies are nearly done. This should be a cause for rejoicing, but somehow it’s not. So the question we ask today is this, why on Earth would people like Emmanuel Macron, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other world leaders try to stop Israel at nearly every major point during this year-long war? Almost with one voice, they told Israel not to go into Gaza, not to go into Rafah, not to go into Beirut, and not to go into Iran. What agenda is this that would seek to keep Israel constantly engaged with enemies that they only ever are allowed to battle to a draw? At the heart of the answer to this question, we find the New World Order, the Deep State, and the next Pandemic. All this and more on today’s Prophecy News Podcast!

00:00:00Welcome to the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast
00:00:05with your host and Bible teacher, Jeffrey Greider.
00:00:08Rightly divided, dispensationally correct,
00:00:11and standing on the authority of the King James Holy Bible.
00:00:15This program is brought to you by NowTheNBegins.com.
00:00:20And good afternoon, happy Friday, everybody,
00:00:23and welcome to this edition
00:00:24of the Prophecy News Podcast today.
00:00:28Was the Biden administration pushing for a ceasefire
00:00:31in Gaza and Beirut in order to preserve Hamas and Hezbollah?
00:00:37That's the question that we're asking today.
00:00:40The death of Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar,
00:00:43suggests that the Hamas-Israel war
00:00:46might come to an end in the coming days.
00:00:49The Biden-Harris administration
00:00:51will likely try to take credit
00:00:53for any potential peace upon hostage releases.
00:00:57But Kamala Harris said last March, however,
00:01:01that Israel going into Rafah in Gaza
00:01:04would be a, quote, huge mistake, end quote.
00:01:07Joe Biden has also pushed very hard
00:01:10to seemingly prevent what now is actually
00:01:13and miraculously happening,
00:01:15the practical and functional end of both Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:01:20Proverbs 29, verse two,
00:01:23when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice,
00:01:26but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
00:01:31For decades now,
00:01:32Israel has battled against its major foes,
00:01:35Hamas and Hezbollah, nearly to a draw.
00:01:38And from an outsider perspective from across the sea,
00:01:42it's one that has been very frustrating to watch.
00:01:46We all know how powerful the Israeli military is
00:01:49and how they could, if they wanted to,
00:01:52eradicate their enemies almost at will.
00:01:55But until this moment, until these past few weeks,
00:02:01the will has not been there
00:02:03and it has been an endless revolving door.
00:02:06Now, all that has changed in just a short period of time.
00:02:10Israel has awoken and their enemies are nearly done.
00:02:15This should be a cause for rejoicing, but somehow it's not.
00:02:21So the question we ask today is this,
00:02:24why on earth would people like Emmanuel Macron, Joe Biden,
00:02:29Kamala Harris, and other world leaders try to stop Israel
00:02:35at nearly every major point during this year long war?
00:02:39Almost with a single voice,
00:02:41they told Israel not to go into Gaza, not to go into Rafah,
00:02:46not to go into Beirut, and definitely don't go into Iran.
00:02:51What agenda is this that would seek to keep Israel
00:02:56constantly engaged with enemies
00:02:58that they're only ever allowed to battle to a draw?
00:03:03At the heart of the answer to this question,
00:03:06you know what we find?
00:03:08We find the new world order, we find the deep state,
00:03:12we find the one world religion,
00:03:15and we find the next pandemic.
00:03:19All this and much more today on this edition

00:13:30Heavenly Father, Lord, for all of these prayers
00:13:33and for the unspoken prayers of our hearts,
00:13:36we thank you, we praise you, we commit this time to you.
00:13:40Every one of these prayers,
00:13:43Karen's dog has been having leg problems
00:13:48and we lift up Karen and her dear pet.
00:13:52And many of us have pets that go through problems
00:13:54from time to time and we're happy to pray for that.
00:13:58We're happy to pray for somebody who has a headache,
00:14:02for somebody who has a sprained ankle,
00:14:06all the way up to stage four cancer,
00:14:09heart attacks, strokes, blood clots.
00:14:13There's no such thing as a prayer
00:14:14that is too large or too small.
00:14:19And we lift it all up to the Lord and say,
00:14:21Father, you take all these things,
00:14:24all these prayers, large and small.
00:14:30And just like you tell us in Philippians chapter four,
00:14:35where you have the apostle Paul tell us how to pray,
00:14:39in Philippians chapter four, we read this about prayer.
00:14:45Your word says, be careful for nothing,
00:14:50but in everything, by prayer and supplication
00:14:54and with thanksgiving, let your request be made known
00:14:57unto the Lord and the peace of God,
00:14:59which passeth all understanding,
00:15:01shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
00:15:07Amen, Father, amen, amen.
00:15:11And Lord, we commit it all to you
00:15:14and ask you to work and move, lead and guide.
00:15:18And we ask all these things in Jesus' name, amen.
00:15:25Welcome everybody, glad that you are here today.
00:15:28We're getting a little bit of a late start today.
00:15:31We didn't have any technical issues today,
00:15:33but I've been experimenting with some new features
00:15:38in the podcasting software.
00:15:42And I was only looking to replace the previous system
00:15:46that we had, but God gave us something that's a lot better
00:15:51than the Spreaker system that we used
00:15:54for the last five years, and then the BlogTalk Radio
00:15:59that we used for the seven years before that.
00:16:03And BlogTalk Radio was a terrible system
00:16:08and it constantly broke down and I hated it.
00:16:12And I was so glad when we could switch to Spreaker.
00:16:17And for the last five years,
00:16:20that's how we were broadcasting these radio programs
00:16:23and it worked really well.
00:16:25And then Spreaker all of a sudden decided
00:16:30that they were no longer going to allow live podcasting.
00:16:34You had to prerecord everything and I didn't like that.
00:16:39So we started to look for a new system
00:16:42and the Lord led us to where we are now.
00:16:44And it's a company that is based in Tel Aviv, Israel,
00:16:48and they are fantastic people.
00:16:52The tech support is really, really good.
00:16:55And the software that we have is much more powerful
00:17:00than the Spreaker system that we had been using.
00:17:04There's a whole video component.
00:17:07And I said on the podcast on Monday
00:17:12that we wanted to try out the video to see if it worked.
00:17:17And today's the day.
00:17:19So let's start with this clip.
00:17:24If you're just tuning in, our top story today,
00:17:28the IDF successfully assassinated Yahya Sinwar,
00:17:33the leader of Hamas, and he was the mastermind
00:17:39behind the horrific October 7th attack on Israel
00:17:44that killed all those, I don't even know how many people,
00:17:491,200 people, 1,400 people,
00:17:52hundreds of people taken hostage.
00:17:55And it was just absolutely brutal.
00:17:58And they finally got him yesterday.
00:18:00And what a great day that was.
00:18:02Look, I don't rejoice when any soul winds up in hell.
00:18:08It's a bad thing for anybody.
00:18:10It's a bad thing for Adolf Hitler.
00:18:12It's a bad thing for Genghis Khan.
00:18:15And it's a bad thing, you might be the worst person
00:18:22on the face of the earth.
00:18:25And you're exactly who Jesus went to the cross to save.
00:18:33The Bible says this, while we were yet sinners,
00:18:38while we were yet rejecting him,
00:18:41while we were yet trampling on the offer,
00:18:45the free offer of God's gift of salvation,
00:18:50while we trampled on that and spit on that,
00:18:54Jesus went to the cross for us anyway.
00:18:58And that is something that I cannot stress enough.
00:19:02A number of years ago, I wrote a story,
00:19:05a serial killer, Charles Manson is dying.
00:19:12And let me just pull the story up.
00:19:15This is from a couple of years ago.
00:19:18And a lot of people got really upset about this.
00:19:22But I wrote this article a number of years ago,
00:19:26way back in 2017, I wrote this article with this headline,
00:19:32as serial killer, Charles Manson
00:19:35waits for the flames of hell,
00:19:38could you pray for his salvation?
00:19:44As serial killer, Charles Manson
00:19:47waits for the flames of hell,
00:19:50could you pray for his salvation?
00:19:54And a lot of people got mad when I published that article.
00:19:59A lot of people thought that was way over the top.
00:20:03But you know what?
00:20:05God's free gift of salvation is way over the top.
00:20:10And God's free gift of salvation
00:20:12is for the worst of the worst.
00:20:15And you might not be a serial killer,
00:20:18or a pedophile, or a rapist,
00:20:20or a hedge fund person.
00:20:25I don't mean to insult hedge fund people,
00:20:29but I'm saying you might be the nastiest person
00:20:33on the face of the earth.
00:20:36And you might be a sweet next door neighbor to somebody.
00:20:41But if you're not saved,
00:20:43you are hanging and dangling over the pit of hell
00:20:48every single day.
00:20:49And God's free gift of salvation is for everyone.
00:20:55It is for the lowest of the low,
00:20:58people like me and people like you.
00:21:04That's who Jesus Christ died for on the cross.
00:21:08Romans 5, 8,
00:21:09but God commended his love toward us
00:21:11in that while we were yet sinners,
00:21:14Christ died for us.
00:21:19Now I said all that to say this,
00:21:22I don't rejoice that Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Hanea
00:21:31and Hassan Nasrallah,
00:21:35I don't rejoice that those people have died
00:21:39and are in the burning flames of hell right now.
00:21:44I couldn't be a Christian if that made me happy.
00:21:48That doesn't make me happy.
00:21:52But it's a good thing when you have people
00:21:55like Yahya Sinwar, who is a serial killer.
00:22:01And he orchestrated the October 7th attack last year.
00:22:05And that was like watching a horror movie.
00:22:10Do you remember that Saturday that it took place?
00:22:13Do you remember sitting in front of your computer
00:22:16or your mobile phone and watching those videos
00:22:20of women and men that were beheaded and shot and raped
00:22:25and just the most unbelievable things
00:22:31took place on that day.
00:22:32It was like a Holocaust.
00:22:35It was like a Holocaust.
00:22:37In fact, it was the single worst day
00:22:43since the Holocaust for the Jewish people.
00:22:47So we don't rejoice over that, not at all.
00:22:52We're not happy that Yahya Sinwar is burning in hell,
00:22:55but we are happy that enemies of the nation of Israel
00:23:01have been removed
00:23:04and their ability to cause future problems have been ended.
00:23:12So from that perspective,
00:23:14yesterday was a big, big day for the nation of Israel.
00:23:22But I don't wanna get to my top story just yet.
00:23:25I wanna test the video system.
00:23:28I wanna test the video system.
00:23:30So let's start with this clip.
00:23:34Here's something we can talk about.
00:23:38You know how with the hurricane two weeks ago,
00:23:41which one, right?
00:23:43Hurricane Milton,
00:23:44and then right before that, Hurricane Helene,
00:23:48and everybody started talking about weather manipulation.
00:23:54And it suddenly went from being a topic
00:23:56that was just a conspiracy theory
00:23:59to everybody talking about weather manipulation,
00:24:05chemtrails, cloud seeding, HAARP, DARPA,
00:24:08you name it, you name it.
00:24:11So let's test the system with this video clip
00:24:17about weather manipulation from the History Channel
00:24:22from 15 years ago.
00:24:24And if you're in the chat room right now,
00:24:27I want you just to scroll up
00:24:31and look at the video player
00:24:34and make sure that you can see video playing.
00:24:39When you see and hear the video,
00:24:41let me know in the chat room that you can see it
00:24:45and that this test is successful.
00:24:49With that, take a listen and look at this video from 2009
00:24:55from the History Channel about weather manipulation.
00:25:01Man is on a quest to play God,
00:25:05to control the weather and use it as a weapon.
00:25:09Lightning, torrential rains, hurricanes,
00:25:12targeted at the enemy.
00:25:14The ultimate war is if you never have to fire around
00:25:17and nobody ever knew you had launched the fight.
00:25:20Is it possible there have already been attacks
00:25:22using weather weapons?
00:25:27If you get down low enough,
00:25:28you can actually see a clear layer above the antenna.
00:25:32It is actually pushing these water particles up
00:25:35and that's exactly how HAARP works.
00:25:39What we've done is we've not only pushed the cloud
00:25:41off of the HAARP antenna,
00:25:43but as you can see our cloud
00:25:44is almost completely gone inside.
00:25:47HAARP does exactly the same thing.
00:25:49It ionizes the particles, pushes them out into space.
00:25:54HAARP is one of several ELF wave transmitters
00:25:57located all over the globe.
00:26:00The United States owns and operates three of them.
00:26:03One in Gakona, Alaska, another in Fairbanks, Alaska
00:26:07and one in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
00:26:10Russia has one in Vasylursky near Nizhny Novgorod
00:26:14and the European Union has one near Tromsø in Norway.
00:26:19Working in tandem, these transmitters
00:26:21could potentially alter the weather anywhere in the world,
00:26:25changing the jet streams course entirely,
00:26:28triggering massive rainstorms or droughts.
00:26:31Even hurricane steering would be possible
00:26:33by heating up the atmosphere
00:26:35and building up high-pressure domes
00:26:37that could deflect or change the course of hurricanes.
00:26:42The U.S. government is firm in its position
00:26:44that HAARP is just an atmospheric research facility,
00:26:48but is it more than coincidence that since going online,
00:26:51some experts have reported strange weather anomalies,
00:26:55including massive floods, hurricanes and earthquakes?
00:26:59And there we have, for the very first time,
00:27:02video on an NTEB podcast.
00:27:05And everybody in the chat room says that they have video
00:27:09and that they have sound,
00:27:10and everybody says how cool that it is.
00:27:13So, I'm very happy to see that it works.
00:27:18And going forward, we're gonna continue to do this.
00:27:23And we're gonna continue to do this
00:27:25to see that it works.
00:27:27And going forward, we are in the process now
00:27:33of transitioning the audio-only podcast
00:27:37into a video podcast.
00:27:40That is the goal.
00:27:41That's where we are headed.
00:27:44We want the entire podcast to be video.
00:27:48And so, please keep us in prayer about that.
00:27:53We very, very much appreciate that.
00:27:57We very, very much appreciate that.
00:28:00I'm just watching the video taking place right now.
00:28:03I don't know what happens if I play another video
00:28:06because there's a little bit of a lag.
00:28:09I suppose I should have tested all these things out.
00:28:13But just keep us in prayer as we test those things.
00:28:19And we certainly want to do that.
00:28:23All right, let's watch a second video.
00:28:25Let's get right into our top story today.
00:28:29We are talking about the unbelievable death of Yaya Sinwar.
00:28:40And the funny thing is, they didn't know he was there.
00:28:46They weren't targeting him specifically.
00:28:50They just did a strike on the building
00:28:52because it was a Hamas building.
00:28:55And he just happened to be there.
00:28:58And they got him.
00:29:00They got him.
00:29:01And you know what the Bible says in Exodus 14, 14?
00:29:07Exodus 14, 14, it says this.
00:29:11And the Lord shall fight for you
00:29:14and ye shall hold your peace.
00:29:18And whenever something amazing like that happens
00:29:23for the nation of Israel,
00:29:25I always see the hand of God behind that.
00:29:28I always see that taking place.
00:29:34And even though Israel is not in a right relationship
00:29:37with God from a biblical perspective,
00:29:41they're very far from him.
00:29:43But this is why we pray for the Jews.
00:29:45We pray for Israel.
00:29:47Psalm 122, verse six, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
00:29:51They shall prosper that love thee.
00:29:53And we are very happy to pray for the Jewish people
00:29:57and for the Jewish state.
00:30:00All right, let's watch this clip from Jason A
00:30:05about all the incredible events that took place this week
00:30:10in the nation of Israel.
00:30:17I see it with my eyes, a regional religious war
00:30:20that's going to burn everything.
00:30:22Now the world has an opportunity to prevent this war.
00:30:25All our resistance factions should be ready.
00:30:28Israel has just confirmed reports
00:30:30that it has killed a top Hamas leader in Gaza.
00:30:34In a statement, the Israeli military said
00:30:36the IDF killed three militants
00:30:38during military operations in Gaza,
00:30:41and previously said it was one of those soldiers
00:30:44by the name of Yahya Sinwar.
00:30:47He is Hamas' top leader.
00:30:49He is believed to be one of the chief planners
00:30:51behind the October 7th attacks against Israel.
00:30:54This is a breaking story.
00:30:56So it's a long struggle,
00:30:58but it is a struggle not between Israel and Hamas,
00:31:00as I said, not even between Israel and Hezbollah.
00:31:03It's a struggle between the West and this horrendous idea,
00:31:07which is the opposite of everything we hold dear,
00:31:09and its representatives today,
00:31:11which are today Iran and its close alliance with Russia.
00:31:15I would just add as a footnote that our troops
00:31:18have now gone into these deep tunnels in Lebanon
00:31:21and that we're being prepared for his bullet troops
00:31:25to come across the border and massacre our civilians.
00:31:27They have found the most sophisticated Russian arms
00:31:30in these trenches.
00:31:32And the Houthi rebels, the Iranian rebels in Yemen
00:31:35have been firing hypersonic rockets at us,
00:31:38very fast rockets.
00:31:39Where do you think they get them from?
00:31:40From Iran.
00:31:41And where does Iran get them from?
00:31:43From Russia.
00:31:44Since the Israeli enemy targeted all of Lebanon,
00:31:46we have the right from a defensive position
00:31:48to target any point in the Israeli enemy's entity.
00:32:00And if God has written for some of us to live,
00:32:05God willing, He will write for you for the rest of your lives.
00:32:11After 10 years, I don't think that Israel will be present in this region.
00:32:16And people will say,
00:32:18I don't think that Israel will be present in this region.
00:32:23I don't think that Israel will be present in this region.
00:32:28And people will say,
00:32:31God bless those who launched the Aqsa bomb,
00:32:34because they wrote the first line at the end of Israel.
00:32:38God willing.
00:32:39God willing.
00:32:39God willing, this disaster will be near.
00:32:41We have breaking news for you.
00:32:42This just into our newsroom.
00:32:44President Biden and his administration
00:32:46are apparently now warning Israel
00:32:48it must boost humanitarian aid into Gaza
00:32:52within 30 days or risk weapons funding, as I said.
00:32:57So let's just stop that clip there for a moment.
00:33:02The main thing that we're discussing today
00:33:05is we're asking the question,
00:33:07why have people like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
00:33:14Emmanuel Macron, and others,
00:33:19why have they been calling for a ceasefire
00:33:23at every single point along the way?
00:33:28I made a graphic yesterday.
00:33:32I made a graphic that says this.
00:33:35If Netanyahu had listened to Biden and Kamala,
00:33:40Hamas and Hezbollah would still be in power
00:33:42and Sinwar would still be alive.
00:33:47And it kind of seems to me,
00:33:53it kind of seems to me that one of the reasons
00:33:58why everybody has been trying to stop Israel
00:34:04is so that Israel doesn't actually
00:34:09wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:34:12It's almost like they want Israel
00:34:15to be surrounded by enemies.
00:34:19And whenever Israel is attacked
00:34:22and they fight back,
00:34:24everybody is with them up to a certain point.
00:34:28And then the United States and France
00:34:30and the United Kingdom,
00:34:34they all put pressure on Israel and on Netanyahu
00:34:39to not go so far as to actually beat
00:34:45and remove their enemies.
00:34:46Now, is that just me?
00:34:49Is that just me?
00:34:51Or do you see that as well?
00:34:55Do you see that it's very, very suspicious
00:35:00that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Emmanuel Macron
00:35:05and all in Germany and Spain and the United Kingdom,
00:35:11they all put pressure on the nation of Israel.
00:35:15It's like they don't want them
00:35:18to actually beat their enemies.
00:35:21It's like they want to keep their enemies
00:35:24right where they are.
00:35:27I said this is just into our newsroom.
00:35:29It is a developing story.
00:35:30It's quite stunning to see the US
00:35:33threaten holding back weapons
00:35:35in the middle of Israel's fight for survival.
00:35:46As tensions build between UN peacekeepers
00:35:49and Israeli troops in southern Lebanon,
00:35:52as many as five UN soldiers have been hurt recently.
00:35:55This week, several European countries
00:35:57branded Israel's actions a violation of international law.
00:36:02The United States, on the other hand,
00:36:04has been the target of a series of terrorist attacks
00:36:07in the Middle East and the Middle East.
00:36:10This week, several European countries
00:36:12branded Israel's actions a violation of international law.
00:36:17Overnight, Netanyahu called for the UN
00:36:19to simply get out of harm's way.
00:36:22Overnight, the US military made a rare move,
00:36:24deploying B-2 stealth bombers
00:36:26to carry out airstrikes in Yemen.
00:36:28Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says the B-2s targeted
00:36:31Iranian-backed Houthi underground munitions facilities.
00:36:35The Air Force has 19 B-2s,
00:36:37and they have not flown in combat since 2017.
00:36:41The Pentagon says the strikes in Yemen are meant to show Iran
00:36:44that America will only tolerate
00:36:46limited further action against Israel.
00:36:49The Houthis say the US will pay the price for the strikes.
00:36:53This is Israel's planned retaliatory strike on Iran.
00:36:55It's reportedly ready, and American officials
00:36:57expect it to happen before the election.
00:36:59Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:37:01has assured President Biden
00:37:03that Israel will not target Iran's oil or nuclear facilities.
00:37:07I'm calling you, people of the region.
00:37:09We have a great opportunity to stop the axis of evil
00:37:13and create a different future, a future of peace,
00:37:16a future of prosperity in the entire region.
00:37:18And it is time for the day after to begin,
00:37:24without Hamas in power.
00:37:27We will not give up on these goals,
00:37:30and I will always work to create a future of peace,
00:37:34dignity, and security for all.
00:37:37I thank you all.
00:37:40So the first thing that they want to do,
00:37:42and at every stop along the way,
00:37:47Kamala Harris and Joe Biden
00:37:51constantly get in front of a microphone
00:37:53and say, now is the time for a ceasefire.
00:37:58Well, let me tell you something.
00:37:59Now is not the time for a ceasefire.
00:38:05And Benjamin Netanyahu has been very,
00:38:07very wise in not listening to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
00:38:13Emmanuel Macron, and all the other idiots
00:38:19who would want to see Israel
00:38:23constantly harassed and hounded by their enemies.
00:38:29Hamas is just about gone.
00:38:31Hezbollah is just about gone.
00:38:34We're still waiting for the Jews to strike the nation of Iran.
00:38:40But that's coming.
00:38:41That's absolutely coming.
00:38:44And it makes me so mad that these people
00:38:49are putting pressure on Netanyahu
00:38:52by calling for a ceasefire at every possible opportunity.
00:38:57That is not how you win a war.
00:39:00You don't win a war through ceasefires.
00:39:03You win a war by beating the other side, and they surrender.
00:39:09That's when the war is over.
00:39:12A ceasefire stops the fighting, but it doesn't end the war.
00:39:19You know what ends the war?
00:39:20A unconditional surrender.
00:39:24That's what ends the war.
00:39:27Now, if you remember back in World War II
00:39:33and the nation of Japan was dead set on wiping out America,
00:39:41even if they had to sacrifice every single person
00:39:45in their military that they had,
00:39:48and we dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima,
00:39:52that didn't stop the war.
00:39:56We had to drop a second bomb on Nagasaki.
00:40:05It took 100,000 people who died in those bomb droppings.
00:40:13That's what ended the war, not a ceasefire.
00:40:18Surrender.
00:40:20That's when the war stops.
00:40:23Thank you all.
00:40:26Citizens of Israel, we are in the resurrection war.
00:40:30Big challenges are still ahead of us.
00:40:32We're required for long patience,
00:40:35for the unity of the ranks, for courage, for a firm stand.
00:40:39Together we will fight, and with God's help,
00:40:42together we will win.
00:40:44Biden reportedly instructed his National Security Council
00:40:47now to make clear to Iran that any attempt
00:40:49on Donald Trump's life would be viewed as an act of war.
00:40:52Biden should do something else.
00:40:54He should tell Iran, where I do have an open death threat,
00:40:58if you touch this guy, who's a former president
00:41:01and now he's the leading candidate to be president,
00:41:05we're going to blow your whole country up.
00:41:08And then it would stop immediately.
00:41:09They cannot threaten an ex-president
00:41:12who is a very strong,
00:41:14you saw the betting odds there through the roof, right?
00:41:17Is a strong possibility to become the president.
00:41:19There's a Washington Free Beacon story I'm reading
00:41:22and it says disclosed how Obama administration officials
00:41:25conducted shadow diplomacy with Iran to undermine Trump.
00:41:30Apparently senior Obama administration officials
00:41:32engaged in secret meetings in 2018 as part of an effort
00:41:35to undermine Trump's threats
00:41:37that he was going to cancel the nuclear deal.
00:41:41I remember it very well.
00:41:43I lived at John Kerry was meeting with the Iranians.
00:41:46Former other senior Obama officials
00:41:48were meeting with him saying,
00:41:48just wait, just wait till we're back
00:41:50and things will get better.
00:41:52And it turns out this may be the one thing
00:41:53Secretary Kerry was right about.
00:41:55Things did get better for the regime,
00:41:57not for the Iranian people.
00:41:58It got better for the IRGC, their terror force,
00:42:01it got better for the Ayatollah.
00:42:02Pay was restored to Hezbollah and to Hamas
00:42:05and you can see what's happened, Maria.
00:42:07When you give terrorists,
00:42:08the world's largest state sponsor of terror,
00:42:10real money and real wealth,
00:42:12they will use it in exactly the way
00:42:13they have promised that they would.
00:42:15The Wall Street Journal and many others
00:42:16have reported this suspicious fleet of drones
00:42:19flew over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia
00:42:22for 17 days last year.
00:42:24More than two weeks,
00:42:26stumping the Pentagon apparently.
00:42:27Nobody knows who it was and what they're doing.
00:42:30U.S. officials still do not know
00:42:31who was flying those drones,
00:42:33how to stop them because federal law
00:42:34prohibits the military from shooting down drones
00:42:37near military bases in the U.S.
00:42:38unless they pose an imminent threat.
00:42:41So there's the update on Israel and the Middle East
00:42:45and the assassination of Yahya Sinwar
00:42:48from our friends, Jason A. over on his YouTube channel.
00:42:53And we very much appreciate the video work that he does.
00:42:56It makes it very easy to get the headlines
00:43:00all in a single place.
00:43:02And now what we're waiting for is to see
00:43:11what Israel is going to do
00:43:17in regards to the nation of Iran.
00:43:23But before we get there,
00:43:27I got a clip, a couple of clips.
00:43:29These aren't video clips.
00:43:31These are just audio clips.
00:43:35But the question that we asked at the top of this podcast,
00:43:39what could possibly be the reason
00:43:42that Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron and Kamala Harris
00:43:47are constantly calling for Israel to have a ceasefire?
00:43:52Well, if you've been listening to this program
00:43:54for any length of time,
00:43:56I think you already know the answer to that question,
00:44:00but I'll give you the answer anyway.
00:44:04Work around the clock,
00:44:05also understanding that we must chart a course
00:44:08for a two-state solution.
00:44:10And in that solution-
00:44:13And there it is.
00:44:16The question that we ask is why do Joe Biden,
00:44:20Kamala Harris and Emmanuel Macron constantly ask Israel
00:44:26to lay down and to have a ceasefire
00:44:28and to stop fighting against their enemies?
00:44:33Because they want a two-state solution.
00:44:37That's the reason why every time that you hear Joe Biden,
00:44:42Kamala Harris or Emmanuel Macron say,
00:44:46Israel needs to have a ceasefire right now,
00:44:49every time that you hear that,
00:44:51I just want you to say to yourself, two-state solution.
00:44:57Because if the question is,
00:45:00why do these people want Israel to stop fighting?
00:45:04If that's the question, the answer is two-state solution.
00:45:10Work around the clock,
00:45:11also understanding that we must chart a course
00:45:14for a two-state solution.
00:45:16And in that solution,
00:45:18there must be security for the Israeli people and Israel
00:45:22and an equal measure for the Palestinians.
00:45:25But we must have a two-state solution
00:45:27where we can rebuild Gaza,
00:45:29where the Palestinians have security,
00:45:32self-determination and the dignity they so rightly deserve.
00:45:36President Trump, how would you negotiate with Netanyahu
00:45:40and also Hamas in order to get the hostages out
00:45:43and prevent the killing of more innocent civilians in Gaza?
00:45:46If I were president, it would have never started.
00:45:49If I were president, Russia would have never, ever,
00:45:52I know Putin very well, he would have never,
00:45:55and there was no threat of it either,
00:45:56by the way, for four years,
00:45:58have gone into Ukraine and killed millions of people
00:46:01when you add it up,
00:46:02and far worse than people understand
00:46:04what's going on over there.
00:46:06But when she mentions about Israel,
00:46:08all of a sudden, she hates Israel.
00:46:10She wouldn't even meet with Netanyahu
00:46:13when he went to Congress to make a very important speech.
00:46:16She refused to be there
00:46:17because she was at a sorority party of her.
00:46:21So Trump, that's a very astute observation.
00:46:25Kamala Harris and Joe Biden hate Israel
00:46:28and they hate the Jewish people.
00:46:30Emmanuel Macron hates Netanyahu.
00:46:34He hates Israel and he hates the Jewish people.
00:46:39And this is why they are constantly asking Israel
00:46:46every time they start to win a fight
00:46:48that they're involved with,
00:46:50a fight that they didn't start, mind you,
00:46:54but every single time, just when they start to win,
00:47:00one of those people puts pressure
00:47:04on Netanyahu to pull back.
00:47:07And for 10 and a half months,
00:47:10Netanyahu listened to those people.
00:47:14And Israel fighting this Gaza war
00:47:19from October of last year to the end of July of this year,
00:47:25it was very slow going.
00:47:27It was brutal to watch.
00:47:30And then all of a sudden,
00:47:33pagers started exploding, walkie-talkies started blowing up.
00:47:39Leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah
00:47:42started to be targeted and neutralized.
00:47:46And all of a sudden, the Lion of Judah comes roaring back
00:47:52and now real victory is in sight for the nation of Israel.
00:47:58But if the Bible's right,
00:48:01it's going to be a short-lived victory.
00:48:05NCGEN is asking a question.
00:48:08Why do they think that Israel can actually work
00:48:11with terrorists that live among them?
00:48:16It's not so much that they think that Israel
00:48:19can live with the terrorists that are among them,
00:48:23but they need those terrorists to be in place
00:48:28to constantly keep Israel in a state of fear,
00:48:33in a state of anticipation.
00:48:37And it has been their hope that by doing that,
00:48:43by never allowing Israel to actually beat their enemies,
00:48:48that Israel will just cave in
00:48:52and agree to this two-state solution.
00:48:54That's why they do it.
00:48:58On another issue on the other side of the world
00:49:01in the Middle East, it's our understanding-
00:49:02I'm going to stick with this.
00:49:04What's that?
00:49:05I'm going to stick with this subject, but go ahead.
00:49:06Well, just the fact that Israel may be now launching
00:49:09a limited operation into Lebanon.
00:49:11Are you aware of that?
00:49:12Are you comfortable with their plans?
00:49:14I'm more aware than you might know,
00:49:15and I'm comfortable with them stopping.
00:49:19We should have a ceasefire now.
00:49:21I expect Iran to retaliate.
00:49:23On the hurricane, Mr. President,
00:49:24why weren't you and Vice President Harris
00:49:26here in Washington commanding this?
00:49:30So there's Joe Biden telling you
00:49:34that Israel needs to have a ceasefire,
00:49:36and they have probably called for a ceasefire
00:49:39half a dozen times over the last year.
00:49:45I'm glad that Netanyahu didn't listen.
00:49:47I'm glad that there has been no ceasefire,
00:49:50and it's exciting to see them getting the victory
00:49:54over their enemies.
00:49:57Now, we know it's going to be a short-lived victory.
00:50:01We know that Israel has to go into
00:50:03the time of Jacob's trouble.
00:50:06There's no way around that.
00:50:10Israel is going to go into the time of Jacob's trouble.
00:50:14The rapture of the church is going to take place.
00:50:17The church age is going to come to an end.
00:50:21But it is exciting to watch,
00:50:25even if it's only for a short period of time.
00:50:30If you remember a couple of months ago,
00:50:32Emmanuel Macron met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas,
00:50:39and this is how that went.
00:50:41France 24's Diptika Laurent has been following that meeting
00:50:44between Macron and Abbas at the Elysee Presidential Palace.
00:50:47She brought us the main takeaways
00:50:48from their preliminary remarks.
00:50:52French President Emmanuel Macron
00:50:53received the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas
00:50:56this Wednesday in the gardens of the Elysee Palace.
00:51:00There were two topics on the agenda between the two leaders.
00:51:03Firstly, the impact of the war in Ukraine
00:51:07on food supplies in the Middle East
00:51:08and in the Palestinian territories,
00:51:10which are heavily dependent on imported wheat supplies.
00:51:14To that effect, Emmanuel Macron reiterated France's support
00:51:18for the Palestinian people and said France is ready to help.
00:51:21The other topic broached by the two leaders
00:51:24is the peace process between Israel and Palestine.
00:51:28Emmanuel Macron reiterated France's support
00:51:30for a two-state solution.
00:51:32Mahmoud Abbas, for his part,
00:51:34reminded everyone that the Palestinian people
00:51:36are still the only people living under occupation today
00:51:40and called for an end to Israeli occupation.
00:51:44He also underlined France's support
00:51:46for the Palestinian cause while lambasting,
00:51:49for instance, the United States
00:51:51for not enforcing resolutions
00:51:53adopted by the UN concerning Palestine.
00:51:57Finally, he also called on European countries
00:51:59that have not already done so
00:52:01to recognize the Palestinian state.
00:52:04So there you have the result of the meeting
00:52:07with Emmanuel Macron and Mahmoud Abbas,
00:52:11and everybody wants them to give in.
00:52:15Everybody wants the Palestinian state.
00:52:19I see Nourtja in the chat room
00:52:21chatting with us from the Netherlands.
00:52:24Please say hi to your mom, Rikki.
00:52:28Haven't seen you in the chat room in a long time.
00:52:30That's good.
00:52:31Charlie on the Highway says
00:52:34that he is watching this podcast on a mobile phone,
00:52:39and everything is working and operating correctly.
00:52:42So praise the Lord for that.
00:52:44And just keep us in prayer over the next couple of weeks.
00:52:48We are going to be migrating to a full video podcast.
00:52:57We are migrating to a full video podcast.
00:53:01And just keep us in prayer about that,
00:53:05that everything would go well
00:53:06and everything would go smoothly.
00:53:11All right, let's switch gears here just for a moment.
00:53:15Do you remember about six weeks ago
00:53:19that we got a request
00:53:24to the Free Bible Program
00:53:26from the Amazing Grace Bible Believers Baptist Church
00:53:31in Sorosogan City in the Philippines?
00:53:36And about six weeks ago,
00:53:38the Amazing Grace Bible Believers Baptist Church
00:53:41in the Philippines,
00:53:42they wrote to us and said that they were having
00:53:45a graduating class of students
00:53:50at the Bible Believers Institute in the Philippines.
00:53:55And they asked if we could supply a Ruckman Reference Bible
00:54:01for every one of the men and the women
00:54:04who were graduating from the Institute.
00:54:08Well, Oliver Tiro,
00:54:11he is the pastor at Amazing Grace Baptist Church
00:54:15in the Philippines.
00:54:16He wrote to us today, and he said,
00:54:20on behalf of the Amazing Grace Bible Believers Baptist
00:54:23Church, we would like to thank you, NTEB family,
00:54:27for granting the Bible students of our Institute
00:54:31a Ruckman Reference Bible.
00:54:34And here are the graduates,
00:54:37Brother Alexander Aberlante,
00:54:41Sister Tricia D. Saliza,

00:54:58Sister Jonalyn Gacosta,
00:55:00Sister Danby Herrera,
00:55:03and Brother Christian Hagelos.
00:55:07And they sent a photo,
00:55:10they sent a photo of the graduating class with the Bibles.
00:55:14And this is what the Free Bible Program
00:55:19was created to do,
00:55:22to put the Bible into the hands of people who need one,
00:55:27but can't afford one.
00:55:29And what a blessing that this is.
00:55:32And we got this letter just this morning
00:55:36from a man by the name of Adam in Pennsylvania.
00:55:42And he writes this letter and he says,
00:55:44Dear NTEB Ministries,
00:55:47will you please send me a free King James Study Bible?
00:55:52I just turned 22 years old

00:58:25All right, I'm gonna play this clip for you.
00:58:28It's a video clip.
00:58:31Andy Stanley.
00:58:34Oh, just when you think he can't get worse.
00:58:38Have you ever listened to Andy Stanley
00:58:41and thought to yourself
00:58:46that the latest thing that he said is so bad,
00:58:49he could never top that,
00:58:51he could never get more heretical,
00:58:53he could never get worse than that last thing that he said.
00:58:58Well, hold my Bible and check this out.
00:59:04Do you have to believe in miracles to be a Christian?
00:59:08And in fact, that's one of the questions
00:59:11I wanna answer today is,
00:59:12do you have to believe in miracles to be a Christian?
00:59:14And do you have to believe all those miracle stories
00:59:16in the Bible in order to be a Christian?
00:59:19I mean, is that absolutely necessary?
00:59:22And so if you're not a Christian or you used to be
00:59:25or you're reconsidering faith
00:59:26or you're considering faith for the first time,
00:59:28I wanna actually, it's kind of a strange place
00:59:30to start a series.
00:59:30I wanna begin with this question.
00:59:33I wanna answer this one now.
00:59:35Do you have to believe in miracles to be a Christian?
00:59:38And the answer is yes,
00:59:41but you only have to believe in two miracles
00:59:45to be a Christian.
00:59:47So I wanna talk about those two.
00:59:48And there's a reason for that,
00:59:49and that's gonna become clear
00:59:50over the course of the next few minutes.
00:59:52And the interesting thing about these two miracles
00:59:54that you have to believe in to be a Christian
00:59:56is most of you and most people in the world actually
00:59:59already believe in one of them.
01:00:02And if you accept the second miracle
01:00:04that you have to believe to be a Christian,
01:00:05if you accept the second one,
01:00:07it opens the door to making the other miracles
01:00:09more acceptable.
01:00:11So the possibility and the reality of miracles
01:00:16is fundamental to Christianity.
01:00:19You'll notice he hasn't used the phrase the gospel
01:00:24one single time.
01:00:27Christianity.
01:00:29And to sum it up,
01:00:30let me just give you these two statements.
01:00:32The miracle of the universe or the birth of the universe,
01:00:34the miracle of the universe is the foundation
01:00:35of our faith in God.
01:00:37We believe that God is the uncaused causer.
01:00:40He's the eternal God that he brought from nothing,
01:00:43everything, including the laws of nature
01:00:46that allows us to have science
01:00:48to make our world observable,
01:00:49to make things observable and repeatable.
01:00:51It's like, it's amazing.
01:00:53It's God unleashed the human mind
01:00:56and said it's gonna roll out into the future
01:00:58just like the universe rolls out.
01:01:02And the second statement,
01:01:04the miracle of the resurrection
01:01:05is the foundation of our faith in Jesus.
01:01:08So if you're looking for,
01:01:09and I know you're not,
01:01:10but if you're looking for the irreducible minimum
01:01:12number of miracles you have to believe
01:01:14in order to be a Christian,
01:01:15if you're considering Christianity
01:01:16and like, do I have to believe a guy
01:01:18put everybody on a boat, really?
01:01:22You just start here.
01:01:24The foundation, the miracle of the universe,
01:01:26foundation of faith in God,
01:01:27miracle of resurrection,
01:01:28foundation of our faith in Jesus.
01:01:29But once you accept this miracle,
01:01:31you will find many of those other miracles
01:01:33far more acceptable.
01:01:38You know what the Bible says
01:01:40in 1 Corinthians 15, verse three?
01:01:44Paul says, for I delivered unto you,
01:01:46first of all, that which I also received,
01:01:49how that Christ died for our sins
01:01:52according to the scriptures
01:01:54and that he was buried
01:01:55and that he rose again the third day
01:01:58according to the scriptures.
01:02:03It is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
01:02:09the shed blood of God on the cross
01:02:13as payment for your sin.
01:02:16That is what you have to believe.
01:02:19You don't have to believe in the miracle of creation
01:02:23and the miracle of science
01:02:25and all this other nonsense.
01:02:28You have to believe the gospel that Paul preached.
01:02:34And that gospel is not a one-part gospel.
01:02:38That gospel is not only the resurrection.
01:02:42That gospel is the shed blood, death, burial,
01:02:46and resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
01:02:51It is not one piece of it.
01:02:52It is the whole thing.
01:02:56It is a three-step process
01:02:58that has purchased your salvation.
01:03:02The shedding of his blood by his death on the cross,
01:03:06his burial in the tomb,
01:03:09Jesus says, as Jonas was three days and three nights
01:03:13in the heart of the earth,
01:03:14so must the son of man do the same thing.
01:03:19Jonas is a type.
01:03:21Jonah is a type when he was three days and three nights
01:03:26in the belly of the whale,
01:03:30Jesus Christ was three days and three nights
01:03:32in the heart of the earth.
01:03:37That's what you have to believe to be saved.
01:03:40So just when you think that Andy Stanley
01:03:44can't get any worse, he tops himself.
01:03:48And you know what?
01:03:50He is, his teaching and his doctrine fits in so beautifully
01:03:58in Revelation 3, verses 14 through 20
01:04:02about the lukewarm Laodicean church.
01:04:06It fits in so perfectly where Paul says in 2 Timothy
01:04:10about perilous times, and he says that they're not
01:04:15gonna be preaching Bible doctrine in the last days.
01:04:21Andy Stanley is the physical fulfillment of prophecies
01:04:26just like that.
01:04:30And we're about out of time for today.
01:04:33The podcast is a little bit shorter than it normally is.
01:04:36Please keep us in prayer as we go through this transition
01:04:42to become a video podcast.
01:04:45And it's exciting.
01:04:47It's something brand new.
01:04:49And I think it's gonna be a blessing.
01:04:51I think it's gonna work out really, really well.
01:04:54And if you'll keep that in prayer,
01:04:56we would very much appreciate that.
01:04:58Also, we'll see you back here Sunday night,
01:05:027 p.m. Eastern time for another episode of the NTEB,
01:05:08Rightly Dividing King James Bible Study.
01:05:13Have a great weekend, everybody.
