2025-02-16 PM (TM) - Will There Be Peace in the Middle East?

All right, we'll good evening. I appreciate you coming out tonight. I want to answer the question. I said I would earlier today and that is, will there be peace in the Middle East? And what do you think the answer is? Well, how many think yes I think there will be peace in the Middle East. But our question is when and what kind who establishes it and who brings it and is it temporary or is it lasting? Is it for real or is it not? And we need to Define our terms.

What I want you to do, tonight's follow along in your Bible, as we get several places a little later on in the message and we're probably going to start in the Psalms and about Psalm 120 maybe and then jump to Ezekiel and Isaiah and Daniel and 1st Thessalonians and the Psalms again, and is he kill again? And so, I guess what I'm saying is just be prepared to use your Bible and to follow along. And as I begin this message, this is not our typical type of preaching. Message to be sure, maybe even not the same teaching as would be normal but what we're doing is I want to evaluate some things that have come to pass and only the last 4 weeks it's been amazing ever since an event happened on January 20th of this year you may remember that was a cold inauguration day. It feels like it was a year ago. It's only been a month ago. There's so many things have happened. I have created an impact not just for us as Americans but have had a worldwide effect that I think it's important. We stopping at least mention and evaluate something. And this message I warned you will sound overtly political as we began. It's not intended to be political as much as it is just to do an analysis of some of the events that have happened. But up front, I'll go ahead and tell you. I have a bias, I do have a bias. I I like the direction we're headed in the sense that I think it's better for our country than where we were the last four years. I no doubt about it. I'm not telling you that Trump is the be-all and end-all of anything because I think he is just another political leader. Businessman L voted to it, into office in our country and I think that he is a very much. Can I say this without you getting a negative connotation, he is very much a player in God's plan that God has a purpose for him being here right now. I firmly believe that I wasn't too sure early on. However, I know that those in Authority or put there by God, let me say it that way, then that nothing happens by accident, that we're moving in, God's X time schedule into long. Has his Direction and so I'm trying to be careful in the way I word things because I don't want you to come across thinking, here's the danger one that Trump is our Messiah, Our Savior, he's not, and there's some Christians in America who seem to have adopted that view. Trump will save America and indeed that's the rhetoric that comes from his own mouth. That Trump will save America. On the other hand, I like Trump a whole lot. I really do. I don't think I've ever seen a politician that had the courage to stand up and do what he's done and going to keep doing for a while yet and in my opinion, it's good. Okay. So it's just my personal opinion. It's not the official position of our church or anything else. But compared to the last guy who slept through his for years and Trump, who has been running 100 miles an hour for the last 4 weeks. Since he's been inaugurated before that, he's been home to go, I'm just saying a lot is happening in our world. And what I want to do is I want to evaluate it and I want to evaluate it, not on the merits of the politics, I don't really care about the Republican ideology versus the Democratic ideology. That's not what I'm concerned with right now. I don't really care about Even the economics of things. But I'm here to tell you, I think we're in for a much better or easier time economically than we have been with with the former administration's plans to keep spending money and I'm giving away money and printing money to spend what wasn't there. On the other hand, this message isn't about that and it's not about necessarily where we line up. But I do want to talk about what Trump has done and what and the impact it's had on our world and then how that affects the nation of Israel. And the reason I'm interested in the nation of Israel is this, you may not have realized it but if you go in, you study your Bible about future events and end time events in Prophecy. The Bible is not interested in any of the nation's in and of themselves. It's not interested in America in the end times. It's not interested in the United Nations. In the end times has not destroyed the European Union in the end times. And if it's interested in anybody, it's only interested because of their interaction with the nation of Israel with God's people Israel. But that prophecy is about the state of Israel. It's not about the rest of the world. However, the rest of the world is involved and there's interactions and so when we go to scripture, sometimes we say how come the Bible doesn't say anything about the relationships of France and Germany. Because it's interested and Israel will how come it doesn't talk about the role of the United States during the tribulation because it's interested in Israel, will how come it doesn't talk about South America because it's interested in Israel, right? So to the degree, in which the Nations affect the nation of Israel, that impact scripture, or I should say is impacted by scripture that predicts, let me see if I can put it another way and that is via illustration. Did you show you several things that have happened in Rapid succession within the last few days really, and couple of weeks? Not even looking at everything, that's happened to politically at all. But just to look at some things that are going to impact our world. And then I want to take that information and I want to look at how that informs us. With the scripture, looking through the lens of Bible prophecy about what is to come. And then I want us to think about how it may come about all the while being very, very careful to avoid doing some things. The Bible tells us not to do which would be not to be guessing the date of the Lord's return, we have no idea, no man knows the day, nor our, we're not about to use current events to set dates. On the other hand, we're also not going to use current events to set.

Dates are biblical events with any degree of certainty. What we can do is we can see a pattern forming that I believe it's highly significant and I believe it makes is a very privileged people that we're living in a time like no other and we're going to go and we are beholding, have seen will continue to be holding, see some unfolding highly, significant events leading up to the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Now, having said that, I want to pray first and then we'll dive in. So, let's pray if you'll join me.

Our Father in heaven. We thank you tonight for the word of God. First of all, we thank you that your word is forever settled in heaven. It does not change and God the same predictions and the same words out of the mouth of the prophets that were meaningful two Millennia ago or more still meaningful today. And God I pray that you will help us to understand in light of the times in which we live, what you're doing to fulfill your word father. Would you encourage us tonight? And would you allow this to be a time? That we can see the hand of God at work and father. I thank you for what you're going to show us in Jesus name. Amen I don't know if you read the novel Ben-Hur. More than likely you saw the movie anybody? See the motion picture been her a long time ago? Okay, that was an old one, I one of those oldies, but goodies, I suppose it's it's called the author. Of of a Ben-Hur that was. What was his name Wallace Wallace? I can't remember his first name, was what Lew? Lew Wallace Road right now? And he says in that book, he says this and actually makes it a quote from from Ben Hur. But let me just read this from the novel, The clear Footprints of God. In human history are rare a reality that Lew Wallace. It is Lou notes in his novel Ben-Hur. When he says this, when God walks the Earth, his steps are often centuries apart. When God walks on the earth, his footsteps are often centuries apart. And what it means by that is there are highly significant events that happened in human history, and it seems like they all kind of clustered together in a flurry of activity. And then there's a period of relative silence or just general things going on. And then there's another flurry of activity at sitter to give me an example. That even in the Bible, we start with the events of the creation, and the fall of Man, etcetera. But then a few centuries go by, and then we have the flood was dead. And after that a few centuries go by and we have the calling of a man named Abram out of her, the Kaldi's, and his son, Isaac and his grandson. Jacob in the 12 tribes to become the tribes of Israel in the way before activity, but then they go to Egypt and there's silence for a few hundred years but then we hear about a pharaoh who knew not Joseph. And and we hear about a man named Moses and there's a bunch of activity with God, leading his people out of out of the Egypt in a 40 years. They wander in the wilderness, the Bible has a lot to say about that. And then we enter into a time of judges and it's time following that of the Kings starting with King, Saul, King, David, and King Solomon, and a history of Kings all throughout. But when we look throughout this period of history, that really encompasses a few hundred years of things going on, and we're just reading about story. Should happen decades apart. In many cases we have for instance we have a flurry of activity in the days of Moses and Aaron in the Miracles that God is doing in the signs to bring his people out. But then we don't see God in her acting in a miraculous way again, really, until the days of the prophets Elijah and Elisha and all the Miracles that surround them. But then we really see God not interacting too much with his people, except for the mouth of the prophets, until we come to Jesus on Earth and we have the all of the ordeal, with John, the Baptist, preaching the coming of the Messiah and the Miracles that Jesus does and the apostles in the first century. And then really, we don't have much happening again for a long, long time. And here we are nearly two thousand years later, and the church has made a difference in our world. Don't get me wrong, but we haven't felt the footsteps of God, falling across this Earth. He made in a dramatic way. From, can I give you two dates from 7080 until 1948? When the nation of Israel. And particularly, when their Capital City Jerusalem was razed to the ground with their Temple was burned under Titus. The general of Rome later becomes the, the Caesar and the Jews are dispersed, and a later after a series of other rebellions and attempts to regain their Homeland. They are finally expelled and do not get to go back in an official capacity to the land. God gave them to what we call Palestine in the general world today. What the Bible calls Israel, by the way, it was called Palestine long before any quote Palestinians lived there. All right. Just so, you know, if you read, all the old newspaper articles, the Palestinians they talked about where the Jews, the Jews were killed the Palestinians. Now the Arab as are that were put there are called the Palestinian, that's a whole nother issue, but the point is, it wasn't until 1948 that the nation of Israel became a state, a nation again. And In their Homeland. And I suggest to you that a great big footprint of God was made on Earth and move those along prophetically towards the coming of the Lord Jesus again, in 1948. When Israel became Homeland, I mean, I became a nation in the juice had a Homeland. Again, I was not alive in 1948. I don't know how many of you were. I'm looking at the elderly to see. Doug who might have been around. In 1948, there are a handful. There are a few here that were alive in that time you may not remember the events so well, but I can just imagine the fervor that took place in churches, and you certainly can see it reflected in the books that were written the sermons. That were breached, the things that took place in the 1940s 50s and even up into the 80s, about the coming of the Lord Jesus. The second coming of the Lord, a lot of excitement was built around 1948, but it wasn't just 1948. It was 1967 and 1967 in the Six-Day War, you understand that, the Arabs vald they destroy the nation of Israel. Drive the Jews into the sea and it didn't happen in six days. Israel had conquered them. Instead of them, conquering Israel. You know, in 1970. What was the date of Yom Kippur War 2? The three. 31973 the Yom Kippur War. And since that events have been rapidly happening in Israel. Once you get into the 80s, especially the 90s and Beyond, it's almost incredible to look at what has happened. The number of attacks that have happened on the nation of Israel, from thousands of rockets a year, being fired at the people. There, two suicide, bombers in terrorist attacks in nice things, and shootings, and various things in today. The popular thing is ramming a text to take a vehicle and drive it into a crowd of people. And it not only happens in Israel against the Jewish people, but it happens in America. Does it not It happened just two days ago in Germany. Immunic. It happens around the world that there are more and more murders going on in attempted murders, especially with the religious ideology of Islam. That says, for some, I want to kill every last Jew. And we want to destroy, not only the little Satan Israel. We want to destroy the big state in America. Now, with an ideology like that, that is religiously motivated. It was inevitable that we would get to the place where anti-Semitism will grow at such a rate that we can hardly even keep up with it anymore. In fact, it's not even reported now in the newspapers or on the television or in the reports, the number of times a synagogue has bombed or attacked, or the number of times that Jews are identified or someone is nice or someone is killed. It used to make the news now. It doesn't an anti-Semitism as you know last year, On American college, campuses was rampant. In this in our cities. Right here in our country, it's disgusting what was done and said and still is we just don't hear about it much anymore.

But then in Donald J. Trump into the presidency, in the end January 20th of this year officially to 2025. And suddenly there is a paradigm shift so much show, they do. And in only the last 4 weeks are entire world has been shaken up turned over and thoroughly confused about what's going on and people can't even keep up with the pace. Let me just show you a few headlines and I've read it just the last few days Donald Trump met with the Premiere of India, president of India, I guess. And they made a plan to double their trade by creating a new trade route to India from America and promised that by 2030. I both countries would double their bilateral trade to 500 billion dollars between the two that the US and exchange would give, F-35 fighter, just for defense to the nation of India, that India would dramatically increase its purchase of oil from the US. And the India would reduce its tariffs on American Goods in America would reduce its tariffs on goods from India. And suddenly, the economy of India through the UAE Qatar, Saudi Arabia, will the UA at least Saudi Arabia turkey. I mean, Greece is going to become a flowing pipeline of a fuel and oil resources to that nation. And they're going to invest a lot of money of us. We're going to less invest a lot of money in them. That's what the fox says. Now, that's a very significant thing. It's going to have an impact not tomorrow. But in a few years, it's going to have a great impact on both economies. If you look at what's going on in in England, it's unbelievable, it's atrocious. What's happening in ALA? I mean, in London, you see signs like this, trust in Allah. And you see the mayor of the city trying to, I put together political ad in which he depicts white people, or does he do pigs? Middle Eastern people. And there's so many people in London who are not from England. Now, that the research shows, he better start showing Middle Eastern people as his continued constituents, bottom line is, there are almost more people from outside of London, living in London than there are londoners living in London. There they are now in the minority, at least politically and in every other way, and these types of things are happening throughout Europe, if you caught and kept up with the speech that JD Vance made to Munich and the security Council just Friday, I believe it was you Saw the attitude of Europe of Germany of France, of Spain of England, of the Baltic states, and others who were absolutely disgusted. That America was trying to help put his hand into what's going on in Europe and bring peace between Russia and Ukraine and these other things. And you're a basically bad to back out and say we're going to have nothing to do with it. Even though America was trying to help them and their security against terrorist attacks. And other things, I just reading some headlines. This came from one of us, Donald Trump social media posts. He said on February 12th, that was just four days ago. I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. We discussed. Ukraine the Middle East energy, artificial intelligence, the power of the dollar and various other subjects, we both reflected on the great history of our nation and the fact that we fought so successfully together more war Bring that Russia lost, tens of millions of people and we likewise lost so many he goes on. But the point is President. Trump is getting something moving. In Russia. I'm not saying it's good. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm not saying I agree. I'm not saying I disagree. I'm just saying he's taking action. He's he's getting something going. Then he turned around any published this. I just spoke to president. Zelensky of Ukraine, the conversation went very well. He liked President Putin wants to make peace. I want you to notice that word piece that Trump capitalized. He wants to make peace, we discussed a variety of topics having to do with the war. But most of the meetings being set up on Friday in Munich, between our people and their people, he goes on to say, To bring about peace between Russia and Ukraine. Now don't get me wrong, they need to be at peace. They should not be at War, don't, I don't get me wrong about that and I firmly believe, if President Trump has been in office the last four years, they wouldn't have been in war. The fact, I believe he'd been in office the last four years. We would have pulled out of Afghanistan. So, humiliating land disgustingly leaving people to die, leaving, billions of dollars of equipment, and arms, and both tanks and helicopters for the terrorists. I firmly believe that. I believe if we hadn't pulled out of Afghanistan, if Trump has been in office, four years ago, I firmly believe there would have been no October 7th attack on Israel.

1200. People killed over 200, something people taken hostage now for 500 Days.

What happened? Now, let me just keep moving on and tell you that since Trump's been in office. And again, it sounds like I'm, I'm pushing Trump. I'm not, let me just set the stage, though. I'm February 1st, he made the statement. It's good to have the Venezuela hostages back home. Wait a minute, I didn't hear about any Venezuelan hostages the last 44 years, did you? I didn't know. There were four Americans being held in Venezuela and during the Biden years, but there were Trump got into office and within less than two weeks, he got him home. That's incredible then he turns around and the end there's an American hostage being held in Russia Mark Fogel and he came home this week. Trump got him home. It amazes me that Biden couldn't do anything. Give me done. Again, I'm setting the stage. I'm not preaching trunk, but it sounds like it, so bear with me, if you will. This last week when Hamas announced that they would not release the hostages this past Saturday yesterday as their, their deal with Israel had dictated, Trump just said fine we'll just bomb Gaza the fact he said if you don't release 3 just release them all by noon or else. Now unfortunately, Israel seems to not have much of a backbone.

And they're like, no, no. We'll just take the three because almost immediately after Trump did that Hamas turned around and said, we'll wait, wait, wait it's okay. We'll go ahead and release the three. And they did. Now, Trump has made a statement that he we ought to open up the borders and let the gazan citizens. Out fact, let's find them landless building cities. Let's build a nice houses, get them out of the chance. If you've seen pictures of Gossip, the place is in Rebels, that the buildings are piles of a brick and everything is destroyed and underground are all the tunnels that Hamas has built. Their is unexploded Munitions and all these things and Trump says, no one can live there. Let's just get them all out and let's rebuild it. That shocked, the world.

I'm shocked.

Hamas Gaza, Lebanon. Hasballah Syria Egypt.

Jordan. In fact, it shocked every Arabic nation and all the European ones. This some for some reason, like, terrorism in their countries. Siri, I don't know if you've been keeping up. Oh, by the way, I need to wait just a minute. Let me don't leave this yet, but that Trump said this after he made that statement, he said relocating godson's is a win all the way around the house and could become an agricultural, Paradise. The middle-east would stabilize the world would be safer. Look at the PC can bring in the stability.

The Ambassador from United Arab Emirates to the US, US develop a timer backs Trump's plan to expel gauss's people. He says it'll be difficult but it's unavoidable. Despite the global outrage over supposed ethnic cleansing. He says quote I don't see any alternative to what's being proposed. We need to get goossens out of Gaza. That's United Arab Emirates who said that? Now, in Syria. you may have realize they had a the change of government and the former terrorist regime that killed all the people. They didn't like and tortured, hundreds of thousands and imprison them. And put them to death, was overthrown by another terrorist regime, whose killing people torturing imprisoning, and putting hundreds of thousands to death. And now the head of the, the transitional president of Syria, this off, commit Hussein. Al shurafa. That's his new name. He said Isis terrorist just a few years ago Remember Isis. Were they bad?

Remember Al-Qaeda. Were they the bad guys? We went after under President Bush.

Well now he's a good guy. Now he said, because his troops went in overthrow the other terrorists and took over to start. Terrorizing the people, including the Christians, the Kurds, and others that are their cooperating with turkey to kill turkeys enemies and the other, the rest. And now all of a sudden he's a good guy. And European leaders are lining up to shake his hand and welcome him to the world of of political leadership.

And let me just tell you our world is totally upside down.

Egypt. Who did not like Trump's plan to turn goossens loose into Egypt? Brought a few tanks of the Border.

and said, That touch of the rafah Border there, the Gaza Strip or meet Egypt, and they are at the highest level of Readiness, for war, according to reports, and they have said, no gazans will come into Egypt. President Trump said that's fine. Don't we give Egypt a lot of money. Didn't we used to give Egypt a lot of money? And he's putting the pressure on. What about Iran? And its almost if not already development of nuclear weapons, President Trump said you cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon but there's two ways to stopping with bombs. Are written piece of paper. I think Iran would love to make a deal and I would love to make a deal with him without bombing them but in the meanwhile yesterday 2000. Of the of the biggest bombs that America makes the big bunker Busters finally arrived in Israel. Israel had purchased them about 3 years ago but Biden wouldn't ship them. We took their money but we wouldn't give them their bombs. President Trump said. And they arrived in Israel, just Friday and Saturday at the port in in Ashkelon. And so now they have the bombs to blow up the nukes in Iran. Let me tell you what else is going on. President Trump said well, Egypt and Jordan can take all the refugees from Gaza. The King of Jordan at first said, no way. We're not going to do that. He flew over and he met with President Trump and after a brief meeting on the 11th, this is what he said from the Oval Office to the reporters with Trump sitting beside him. I truly believe, with all the challenges that we have in the Middle East that, I finally see somebody that can take us across the Finish Line, to bring stability, peace, and prosperity, to all of us in the region.

Here's what I'm suggesting to you Church by showing you all these things. I am suggesting that President Trump is doing something now that we have never seen before. In a way that we have never seen it. No politician has acted this way. I'm also suggesting. I'll leave it for you to judge good or bad, right? Or wrong. But I'm also suggesting That what is happening right now is the entire Middle East has been shooken up. And things are about to change.

Now, let me just say that what I think is going to change, I go ahead and give you a spoiler alert. Is that something along the scales of significance of 1948, and 1967 Here's why, who knows what is going to happen, prophetically? What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?

Are the Battle of God and my dog we aren't. That is the next significant profit of event. But let me go further out. We're looking for the coming of the Lord. Jesus to return to this Earth. Are we? To a certain judge the Nations to establish the kingdom of peace to rule, and Reign from Israel for a thousand years from Jerusalem specifically, and we're looking for him to bring true and Lasting. Peace to this world, the Bible predicts that in so many places, we don't even have time to look at them all or even to begin to produce them tonight but he will come to establish peace. But before he comes to establish, his peace, to settle the battle of Armageddon to to judge the Nations to set up a millennial Kingdom. What comes before that?

All right, you're getting a little ahead of me first. They'll be a seven-year tribulation time, a seven-year tribulation time in which God will deal with the nation of Israel specifically to try to direct their hearts to Jesus as their Messiah and he'll deal with the end believing world. What happens during the tribulation time is that there was a world leader? What do we call him? As a nickname? We call him the Antichrist. We don't know yet. Who is going to be? I'm not suggesting to you. It's Donald Trump. I don't think it is it maybe I have no way of knowing and neither do you because according to 2nd Thessalonians, that man will not be revealed. Until after we are raptured out of here before he is revealed to the world. We will not know who he is, he he could be alive right now. Likely I think he probably is, maybe he's not yet, but if he is someone who God will have ready to step into that position of wickedness and two to do that, well, why is he so wicked? What does he do? While he established the 7-year, peace treaty. With the nation of Israel that we're not there yet. I don't think of the peace were talking about it. This is not that same peace treaty better he establishes a 7-year peace treaty with the nation of Israel but halfway through that treaty three and a half years he does something in Jerusalem. What does he do?

The abomination of desolation, stangel chapter 9 verses, 24 through 27, he goes into the temple. He sits down and he proclaimed himself to be God and says worship me, which implies that a temple has to be built because right now, yes or no. There is a Jewish temple on the Temple mount in Jerusalem. There is not, there is a Dome of the Rock and Islamic Shrine. I'm right outside of it. I should have bought a pictures of smaller Shrine called the, The Shrine of the chain, it by translation. And it's to the east of the Big Dome of the Rock. Now, you have all seen the big gold top dome, right? This it's over A Flat Rock, where Abraham sacrifice, Isaac. Where was the threshing floor of that? The jebusite on that, David purchase to make a house for God, the place the Jews and their teachings say is the foundation stone of the world that God laid that stone first. When he created the Earth,

I laugh cuz I don't know if that's true. But just to the east of that, there's a small Dome structure with no walls and it's called The Shrine of the chain and the ideas. As you passed that, you walk out the Eastern Gate, which today is bricked up. It'll be opened up when the Messiah rides through it, but you crossed in the Kidron Valley on to the east, where the Mount of Olives going through a graveyard. The first graveyard you come to as a Muslim graveyard with his, many Muslims buried in hopes, that it when the Messiah comes, not our Messiah, their Messiah whom they call. The muddy comes that they'll be resurrected first and be able to walk across the bridge will be a long narrow bridge constructed over seven arches and all the medicines of the world will cross that bridge to get to the temple.

Not the temple, Priests of the Temple mount, the shrine B, there of the chain because that's where Solomon will be seated with a set of scales to judge and why they're worse. But what'll happen is all those Muslims across the narrow bridge. The unrighteous will fall off into the Kidron Valley where there's flames and they'll fall for 40 years before they land and they'll die and burn in their version of hell. As a follow-up at the righteous Muslim should have fought Jihad and done. Good for Allah. They will come across that bridge and they will meet Solomon who will weigh their righteousness, give them their rewards and then they will inherit their Paradise. This is their their eschatology, their prophecy of what's going to happen in the future. And so, to them, this is a very important thing what's there now. However, the Bible says that the Antichrist sits in the temple of God to defile it and so at some point, a new Temple has to be built. How will that all come about with? What is there now and in? Muslim way of thinking, I got to tell you that's going to take a masterful dealmaker. And I'm not saying that guy's Trump, I'm just saying asking to take some negotiating but the Antichrist is going to to guarantee that Israel can rebuild their Temple.

Before that happens. There's an invasion of Israel from the northern nations of Gog and Magog, the places where those people are group names are which we can identify on maps today. Probably very it with much certainty. I believe as Russia and Iran in Turkey. But also mentioned is Sudan. That's interested, what what's mentioned in scripture is Ethiopia but the Ethiopian scripture time is what on our modern map is more. The Sudan Ethiopia area and more likely the country of Sudan by in modern terms. But the point being this isn't it. Interesting that Russia and Iran and Syria have an alliance amongst themselves, and a desire to occupy is real. I desire just last week. Sorry man, been ten days ago. Now, Russia announced that they in Sudan had worked out all the details now, for Russia to build a naval port in Sudan on the Red Sea.

Russian troops are in the Sudan Russian troops were in Syria. Other, probably still there and heading back. They Supply arms to Iran and they have treaties with turkey, Putin and erdogan. And

The Iranian guy that wears the diaper on his head. They all match. Multiple times recently. To discuss, who knows what interesting and prophecy that we don't read about Jordan, syria-lebanon Gaza, the Westbank, even by their biblical names of old, we don't read them being involved in the Gog and Magog invasion. in fact what we read, Is that Israel? Is dwelling in security. Without Walls. Cities without walls and an interest Into the Heart of of Magog to go in and take them. And then, what does God do? God, miraculously destroys those attackers. Now I tell you that to say, let me take you to some scripture and show you some things that are both General prophecy and more specific and I'm going to try to hurry. So I'm 120 verses 6 &, 7 the song. Mama Said speaking prophetically though, he may not have known it. My soul have long dwelt with him that hey, Tiff piece, I am for peace but when I speak, they are for war and deed. This describes the nation of Israel throughout history, both in the days it was written of David and in our modern times as well, and Psalm 122 6 & 7 Wii, an injunction was given an admonition at least to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love the peace. Be within thy walls and prosperity within my palaces. So that we should seek the peace of Jerusalem. So when I talk about peace coming to the world, I want to suggest something to you. It's not anti-biblical to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and I believe even if it is a man-made peace, that will not last, God, would rather see his City in peace. But ultimately, what's in view, here is a Messianic piece that the Lord brings himself. That he will establish and that will continue on and that will not be a temporary or a full speed have there. Been others who have tried to make peace in the Middle East. Who succeeded?

You may remember a guy named Jimmy Carter.

And Menachem bagin and Anwar Sadat and their piece of quartz, right? How long did that piece Last, by the way? not very before the

What was their name? The terrorist group in Egypt? At the time they had so. Kill before the PLO, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim Brotherhood becomes the father of the PLO, the PLO becomes the father of of al-Qaeda who becomes the father of Isis who becomes the father or the cousins at least of Hezbollah and Hamas. And the houthis and all of their control is from Iran and all of their training happened in Afghanistan. And we pulled out a, by the way. Now having said all that is for fun, I just want you to realize the piece that Jimmy Carter brought did not last what about old Bill Clinton, didn't he? Bring peace. Well, not really it backfired and blew up at the last minute, but he tried to bring peace to the Middle East as well. Something happened with our 45th president. If ever remembers what his name was and that was called the Abraham Accords. Did you hear about that in your history classes? Just 5 years ago, 6 years ago, when President Trump, in his first term, brought an agreement economically, at least between several of those Advanced Muslim nations, like the UAE, the United Arab Emirates and like Bahrain and others. Who said, we want to have peace with his real, so we can increase our money. Now, that has held. And yet they want to add Saudi Arabia. They want that other nations to that, and they want to increase the peace now with Jordan and they want to include Lebanon and they want to include Egypt and they want to bring a broad. I say that. A President Trump wants to bring abroad and Lasting peace to the region of the Middle East. Will he accomplished it? Or not, it's not wrong to pray for peace. They've long and desire to have peace. One day, the Lord will bring ultimate peace, but let me just tell you up until that time, peace will come. peace will come, how do I know peace will come because take your Bible to Ezekiel chapter 38, Ezekiel chapter 38 And we have looked at this before, yes, but the Battle of gaugamela dog. And when we began to read these verses, I want to come to very interesting person, but it starts off, son of man set. My face against cago, land of Magog. The chief Prince of Meshach and two ball, and prophecy and get props against him is Sedro. Why? Because inverse number 11, Thou shalt say, this is what they will say, the enemies of God's people. I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to them. That are at rest that dwell safely, all of them dwelling Without Walls and having either bars near gate. Now the good thing is because they don't have defenses. Walls or defenses and because they don't have defenses, God will be their Defender and it will be a miracle. Like we haven't seen since the days of Moses, Elijah the Lord Jesus Christ. And then in that time, God will begin to do Miracles again that the world can't imagine. And God will deliver his Nation Israel. Now we know that God and may God is the next big thing to happen. Here is why I'm excited. It may not seem like it but let me tell you what's happening. As you look backwards and try to analyze history. And we could go back as far as the beginning and start there. We could start in 70 AD we could look at the 4th Century. We could look at the beginning of Islam in 6:32. We could look at the Crusader. Around 1,000 ad. We could look at what's happened as the Muslims have moved in to take Jerusalem as the Catholic, pope sent soldiers to recapture it as those battles. Took place back and forth for hundreds of years in those seven. Major Crusades we could look at history after that. The rise of certain rabbis, who formulated a different kind of theology for the Jewish people. We could look at what happened in the Fourteen hundreds in the 1500 we could. Look at the way, the Jews were chased out of Spain and Portugal and and the way of the programs that took place in Russia, we could look at the things that happened that led up to the Zionist idea. Regaining a Homeland starting way back in the 1850s or 60s in 1892 and a guy named Theodor, herzl writing, a book and pushing for the development of a Homeland. We could look at the Balfour, Declaration, we could talk about the 400 years of autumn in history. And then the British mandate. When Britain came into all those Arabic tribes and took a pencil on a map and a ruler, and chop them up and divided, their territories, and made them start fighting with each other and eventually turning together and fighting against England. we can look at, The freedom Israel secured from the British mandate. And their Liberation in the establishment of their nation in 1948. But let me tell you something. None of those future events. Third Temple. The Antichrist, seven years of Peace, false, peace, but peace with it in Israel for us or none of that could happen, dog. And none of us could happen if Israel was not back in their land. What's happened in 1948? None of us could happen. If they did not have control of the Temple Mount, which they gained in 1967, none of it could have happened unless they get further control of the Temple Mount. And let me tell you, Trump is already mentioned. The idea that the West Bank and which is Samaria and Judea, by the way, in the Bible terms, I should be given back to Israel. And the Palestinians should leave not just gossip, but east Jerusalem and that reason the Bible call Samaria, they should move out. Because Trump says, that's his real planned. Sure. Sounds like he wants to make everybody have a war. Doesn't it? Do you know what's going to happen? I'm convinced. And it would not have happened. If he had been president for years ago, and Biden wasn't. Because Biden was elected. by crook or are are hook or however, Because Biden was put in office, October 7th happen. Because October 7th happened. Trump was outraged when he saw the videos of what took place because of that. He's expelling the Arabs and dealing with the Palestinian issue in Israel because of that. It's going to lead to a broader peace and it's going to lead to a false sense of security in my opinion. So that is real will tear down the Walls between Israel and Gaza. Tear Down the Walls between Israel and East. Jerusalem Tear Down the Walls surrounding the regions of Samaria.

And cause them to lay down their arms.

Because they will be trusting in peeps.

No, I don't believe this is the Antichrist. Peace because that doesn't come about until there's a trumpet sound and you and I are ruptured out of here, correct. Because that doesn't happen until there. The Antichrist isn't revealed until that happens and the Antichrist signs. The peace Covenant, with Israel, for the seven-year time frame. So I'm just telling you that what's happening right now. Is that God, this is how I view it. Forgive my inadequate metaphors. But God is a master chess player is putting all the pieces in place just like he's been doing since the beginning. And he's putting the right leaders and Israel the right leaders in America. The right leaders in Jordan the right leaders in Egypt the right leaders in Syria the right leaders in Iran, the right leaders in Turkey the right leaders in Russia, so that all of this comes about. So, that Israel will feel a false sense of security, they will disarm, so that there will be peace. So that God and may God. Now that all these little tentacles of Iran's octopus of Terror, have finally been cut off and Israel can relax. Now, it's slim, it's good. Pickens for Russia and Iran and turkey to quote, surprise the world and swoop in and try to take Israel and God will take care of them. But I'm telling you, it couldn't have happened without October 7th. In October was 74 and a half and without Biden without sleepy. Joe sleeping on the job. Without Israel. Squabbling so much about liberal, woke left ideology and judges that they weren't paying attention to their defenses. It would have happened without America pulling out of that Canna, stand emboldening the terrorist to do this plot. They had been planning for so long, it wouldn't have happened if Trump hadn't been there for years before that causing these, Abraham chords to come about. So that it would irritate the terrorists at and the other friends groups that are coming out of Iran. And it would not have happened that way, if it hadn't been for 911, But 9/11 wouldn't have happened. If it hadn't been for the peace treaty that at Camp David with Carter that started that ball rolling. You see what I'm saying? As far back as we go. We can connect the dots and we can see how God has worked. Which teaches me a lesson. O you who belly 8? That the Democrats cheated and stole the election in 2020. I have no doubt. They did have no doubt. But it was still God's plan. And now everyone who's bellyaching about Trump owe my, we have a constitutional crisis because someone's doing their job.
