when you say the word God what do people
00:24
think about and I think they think about
00:26
a guy in a white robe and true love and
00:30
well it's a loving God I think a more
00:34
accurate picture of God is a judge right
00:37
he's the guy deciding what is morally
00:41
correct and good and what is evil and
00:44
ultimately when he comes back he'll come
00:47
back with wrath it won't be a happy time
00:50
to see God
01:00
Jesus Christ is going to return and he
01:03
can return at any moment
01:07
we always have to be ready the rapture
01:13
makes me have to focus because I may I
01:16
may meet my maker tomorrow
01:25
so they believe that Jesus is coming
01:28
back we don't think that he's going to
01:31
make it a second time
01:34
you know there's going to be a last
01:36
battle Israel is going to be attacked
01:39
from the north from the west from the
01:42
east you got North Korea you've got a
01:44
Rhine
01:48
and Jesus said Israel is going to
01:50
experience this distress until the end
01:54
the end of history as we know it
02:08
Stinger missiles on the wings big
02:11
machine gun up in the nose you know
02:13
Laura's Laura's company actually builds
02:16
and constructs the in designs the
02:18
propulsion systems the company I work
02:20
for actually does all the external parts
02:23
to the engine I work on software code
02:31
for jet engine we we have certain parts
02:36
on the engine that we want to track the
02:39
life of so that we know when to replace
02:42
those parts so what my job is is to take
02:46
these very complicated mathematical
02:48
algorithms and we pretty much code it
02:51
into the software when we first met I
02:58
was certainly coming at religion from an
03:01
atheistic perspective it took a lot for
03:04
me to just become open-minded to all
03:06
right let me consider the Bible okay how
03:08
do we prove through through historical
03:11
fact how do we prove through geology how
03:13
do we prove through astronomy how do we
03:15
prove through physics and math that the
03:18
Bible is true it was a struggle for the
03:20
two of us to go through that but a lot
03:22
of tears were shed well I think a lot of
03:26
emotion was because it he he was because
03:30
of your engineering background he
03:31
questioned everything about ten times
03:35
each and the patient's level denied that
03:38
I had to endure but I'll be honest I
03:42
learned a lot having to prove what I
03:45
believe the point is the procedure
03:47
Biblical prophecy it was fulfilled
03:49
precise
03:50
in the first advent of Jesus Christ
03:54
Jesus the Messiah came just after that
03:59
timeframe and this is what Christ says
04:01
no man shall come to the Father but
04:04
through me that's it he's the only way
04:06
I'm accepting him at his word I'm taking
04:10
him at his word equals one hundred
04:11
seventy three thousand eight hundred and
04:14
eighty days now this is what we use 360
04:18
day here if the Bible weren't true I
04:20
don't even think we'd be creating
04:22
Jethro's this whole period of time four
04:25
hundred nine years is related to the
04:28
conclusion playing for history there are
04:32
prophetic activities in the Bible that
04:34
have now come true as as history has
04:36
passed so given all that background
04:39
there's no reason to think that what
04:41
what the Bible further protects to be
04:43
true which is the second coming the
04:45
rapture and Armageddon won't also
04:47
ultimately come true so God has a
04:50
contract with Israel he has chosen that
04:53
land and it's incredible to watch
04:56
history open you know evolve around that
04:59
land
05:33
the rapture it comes from the Greek word
05:36
harpazo which means to snatch up or take
05:39
up and when Christ returns in the clouds
05:44
not all the way to planet Earth that he
05:46
will come and catch up our rapture
05:49
believers to be with him at that instant
05:57
I 1/64 of a second boom just like that
06:01
everybody who's trusted in Christ is
06:03
Savior
06:03
those dead and those alive will be
06:05
caught up together to be with him in the
06:07
clouds
06:18
we have numerous members of Congress who
06:22
are Christians financial leaders
06:26
presidents people in all kinds of
06:28
influential significant positions of
06:30
power and influence will be God
06:43
well you got 100 million people if
06:47
there's only 50 million who have
06:48
suddenly vanished from this earth off of
06:50
elevators also escalators out of office
06:52
of the desk next to somebody and out of
06:58
cars on freeways and crashes and out of
07:00
airplanes
07:08
the world would be terrorized where did
07:12
they go who took him why didn't they
07:14
take me are they coming back for me
07:31
try to keep my yard and stuff water bets
07:37
pastures are some drive we're saying the
07:40
Bermuda may not even come back next year
07:44
now keep it water but you can't hardly
07:47
water a pasture
07:56
thereafter in my view will happen very
07:59
very very soon and I do I believe that I
08:06
will hold a grandchild
08:09
no no uh I I don't I just don't think we
08:16
had that much time left
08:25
things are happening around the world
08:27
that lead me to believe that the end
08:31
times are closed I mean I keep up with
08:34
things going on and I have a general
08:36
idea of of what can happen and the
08:40
things going on the Middle East is a
08:42
good example of that everything has to
08:49
do with Israel Israel is kind of God's
08:52
timepiece his clock but I don't believe
08:57
that Travis will graduate I do not
09:02
believe that you know John will ever
09:06
reach an age to drive a car the girls
09:22
I have much comfort in the fact that the
09:24
rapture is soon we washed aids decimate
09:30
so much of society and we look at the
09:32
poverty that's in the rest of the world
09:34
the wars that are going on in 4,000
09:38
abortions a day today Christians are
09:43
becoming increasingly vulnerable to a
09:45
worldview that certainly resulted in the
09:48
persecution of the Jews under the Nazis
09:51
and whether you had Nazis celebrating
09:55
the Arion race and and denigrating the
09:58
Jew today you have multiculturalists
10:01
celebrating the feminists and the gay
10:05
lifestyle and denigrating the white
10:06
European male
10:10
evil people will come after this country
10:14
and there's a possibility that okay not
10:17
a possibility of definite certainty that
10:19
chaos is going to rule
10:21
mass killing possibly millions of people
10:28
just look at your life everything is
10:33
backwards they call darkness light and
10:37
light darkness of domination is
10:40
overflowing just as it was inside
10:44
remember
11:02
I think the younger you are the less
11:06
inclined you want to believe the
11:08
prophecy or that end times is close that
11:12
rapture is close for a lot of reasons
11:15
one you've got your life ahead of you
11:17
and you don't want to let go of that and
11:19
I think that's what makes it really
11:21
difficult for for young people
11:22
everything has been fulfilled that needs
11:25
to be fulfilled there is not one
11:27
prophecy left that has to be fulfilled
11:29
before the church will be raptured it is
11:32
for our time I mean it could happen that
11:35
it will happen
11:37
there's no good - she's not saying it
11:39
won't have and she's saying it could
11:42
happen in six months it could happen and
11:43
I mean it will happen
11:44
I'll read track that it will happen but
11:48
it just may not happen but one before my
11:51
birthday I know I'm ready so if he comes
11:55
right now I'm good to go that's pretty
11:57
much the worst didn't there's one make
11:59
clear I believe in the rapture and I
12:00
look forward to I'm gonna always want to
12:02
be part of it but I wanted to be like 85
12:21
it scares me like Chrissy feels I kind
12:24
of wish that I knew that I had time I
12:28
really want to get married and I want to
12:30
have kids and raise a family and work
12:32
and do all that I mean I'd like to see
12:35
the world but it doesn't seem fair I
12:38
mean you know your grandparents have
12:41
lived these long lives have all these
12:43
stories to tell you and they've kind of
12:46
adjust to the fact that you know they're
12:49
not going to live terribly much longer
12:51
and so you've grown up hearing all these
12:52
stories and you want you found stories
12:54
and you want to live these experiences
12:56
yourself and if you have you know you're
12:59
done at 24 then there's only so many
13:02
experiences you get to have
13:09
our college only allows Christians to
13:12
come here I want to teach them to live a
13:16
biblical worldview to see the world as
13:19
God sees it the new generation that
13:22
we're dealing with you have the struggle
13:24
of well I want to first get marry and
13:26
have kids then Jesus can come back but
13:29
they do believe he's coming back
13:41
we're told to Jesus will rule our world
13:43
with the rod of iron and he'll crush his
13:45
opponents like it crush pottery and I
13:50
will look forward to that day but I
13:52
suspect it for Israel things will be
13:55
much worse before the churches is taken
13:57
out of the world
14:09
after the rapture of the planet earth
14:11
goes through tremendous upheavals and
14:14
scarring there will be massive
14:17
catastrophes there will be catastrophes
14:20
on the order of 9/11 happening two or
14:22
three times a day ecological disasters
14:26
Katrina super hurricanes
14:32
plus there are earthquakes there's
14:35
possibility er hitting the earth
14:42
the third of the waters are polluted
14:44
turn to blood
14:50
by the time you were five six years into
14:52
the Tribulation Period half of the
14:54
Earth's population of dead
15:02
we think there's violence and Wars now
15:05
this is going to radically increase
15:09
there is this figure that arises called
15:12
the Antichrist this figure signs a a
15:17
peace treaty a covenant with Israel that
15:19
marks this last seven-year period of
15:22
time so there's a precise countdown
15:24
which we refer to as a seven-year
15:27
tribulation and all this culminates in
15:30
the armies of the world focusing against
15:34
Israel against Jerusalem and they gather
15:39
together at a place called in the Bible
15:43
har Megiddo the mountain of Megiddo our
15:47
Armageddon
15:52
unless you've grown up listening to
15:54
prophetic sermons listening to
15:57
fundamentalist preachers you can't
16:00
understand what Armageddon is about
16:03
Armageddon this final war means this is
16:06
all going to wrap up and we're finally
16:08
going to see Jesus and it's going to be
16:11
over who wouldn't want it to be over the
16:15
suffering in the world
16:27
even at age nine I realized that I did
16:29
not measure up to what God expected of
16:31
me I can see it right now I remember
16:35
leaving the service in which I told
16:38
Christ I was sorry that I was a sinner
16:40
and that I had done things against him
16:42
and I asked him to forgive me I remember
16:43
walking outside and looking up at the
16:45
stars outside the front of the church
16:47
building there and and I just felt clean
16:49
I felt different than I went in I felt
16:53
like I'd dealt with the problems in my
16:54
life
16:55
even at age 9 Easter's reign young
16:59
Christ reigns okay Christos impera
17:02
Christ rules correct
17:05
what is Auto domine mean in the year of
17:12
our Lord now history actually divides at
17:15
the time of Christ's coming throughout
17:17
the world today Therese Tara I feel it's
17:23
important to live a life as a Christian
17:26
so that were Christ to come not that I
17:31
wouldn't go to heaven or so to speak or
17:33
be raptured but that I would have lived
17:35
a life that would have been meaningful
17:40
and off the desktop for you a little bit
17:44
where you get a better picture okay they
17:49
get you pretty good look at it
17:51
but there was a dome here and I took it
17:54
out and then I put the temple in because
17:57
that's how at least I believe it will be
18:00
someday
18:01
it will look about like that I go to
18:06
Israel in order to show people the
18:09
biblical sites if we're going to
18:16
understand the past and the future we
18:17
have to see in Israel I've been to
18:23
Israel twice both times with Wayne we
18:28
didn't feel a long way from home
18:30
we felt the we'd come home we felt the
18:33
way to live a long way from Jerusalem
18:39
if you're thinking about going to Israel
18:40
you must go you see everything in its
18:44
context it's been fascinating to me of
19:00
all nations on the earth that Israel is
19:03
a little bitty place as smaller than
19:05
Rhode Island is seemingly always in the
19:08
news this little strip of land gets more
19:11
attention almost any place in the world
19:13
even though it's almost nothing and I
19:15
think there's a reason for that I guess
19:17
God set it up in May of 1948 a new
19:22
Jewish state Israel was born in a bath
19:24
of blood Jewish troops routed Arab
19:27
forces from the city of Haifa conceived
19:29
in strife and weaned on violence the
19:31
Jewish people have a nation of their own
19:35
Israel to me is God's timepiece they've
19:38
helped us to see that history is moving
19:42
in a linear direction toward a
19:44
consummation Israel's victory was
19:49
commanded by general it's a gripe 1967
19:54
for the first time in 2000 years the
19:58
Israeli flag flew over Jerusalem that
20:03
was momentous in terms of the unfolding
20:06
of God's purposes so your fracture
20:37
we're
20:38
I gotta go in my when the tribulation
20:44
begins there will still be many Jews out
20:47
of the land but there will be enough
20:48
Jews in the land to establish a nation
20:50
and then there will be a people there
20:53
who will turn to the Messiah turn to
20:57
Jesus and call upon him to come and
21:00
deliver them and he will return that's
21:03
the second coming and he will save them
21:05
from destruction and establish his
21:07
kingdom and we will get into some more
21:09
on how we know God still has a plan for
21:12
Israel when we look at Romans chapter 11
21:15
tomorrow night so let's bow our heads in
21:17
the perfect father we thank you that we
21:21
have such clear precise revelation in
21:23
Scripture father we thank you for the
21:25
Jews we thank you for the fact that they
21:27
or your chosen people now through
21:29
history you have blessed them and it is
21:31
through them that we have the scriptures
21:32
and we pray for their salvation that
21:35
they would recognize that Jesus is the
21:37
promised Messiah amen
21:48
the conflict between Israelis and
21:49
Palestinians seemed over every aspect of
21:52
daily lives in that part of the world
21:54
but really it all goes back to the heart
21:56
of his bigger conflict control of the
21:59
land
22:03
on the garbage heap of history you have
22:07
the nations that turned against Israel
22:11
it tight Sargon the Phoenicians are gone
22:14
the Assyrians are gone the Babylonians
22:17
are gone but the Jews survive they are
22:20
an ancient people that can trace their
22:22
lineage all the way back to Abraham at
22:24
approximately 2000 BC nobody else can do
22:28
that so that's that's the danger is that
22:32
God is still saying they are the apple
22:34
of my eye I have put my blessing upon
22:37
them and those who bless them will be
22:39
blessed and those who curse them I will
22:40
judge when President Bush suddenly
22:43
sounded tough with Israel conservative
22:45
Christians organized an email campaign
22:47
for 100,000 evangelicals us putting that
22:51
friendly pressure on I think helps the
22:54
president stay on the right track
22:55
and the White House does listen when
22:57
conservative Christians complain
23:00
Hezbollah Rockets rocked back into
23:02
northern eastern wounding several I have
23:06
said the last year that Israel was
23:08
entering into the most dangerous period
23:10
of his entire existence as a nation God
23:14
has has enmity against those who quote
23:16
divide my land God considers this land
23:21
to be his you read the Bible he says
23:23
this is my land
23:34
we'll go ahead and go on in here there's
23:41
an area just north of Jerusalem that's a
23:43
flat plateau and it's the perfect
23:46
staging area for attacking Jerusalem
23:48
just north of Megiddo and that's why
23:51
it's called Armageddon
23:52
I think it's an actual battle with
23:55
horses and conventional warfare of
23:58
something that would have been true in
23:59
the days interested yeah and because all
24:02
the modern technology is is useless at
24:04
that point and some people question
24:06
prophecy because it talks about these
24:08
armies and these horses and all this and
24:09
they say well it can't be because we
24:11
have modern warfare but if you
24:13
understand what's going to happen then
24:16
it's very logical that you'll end up
24:18
back with those kinds of armies once
24:20
again I agree and there'll be some kind
24:22
of a blast from Christ or something that
24:25
will will do that and of course their
24:26
blood will just leak out all over the
24:27
place some people believe that the
24:29
destruction of that army will be an
24:31
atomic blast it doesn't need to be it
24:34
fits the same description you know from
24:36
Hiroshima and Nagasaki but it doesn't
24:38
have to be an atomic glass because it's
24:40
going to be selective it's going to kill
24:42
the attacking army but not the Jews
24:44
which would then argue against it being
24:47
just simply an atomic blast you know
24:49
this is God's judgment not men's all
24:51
right you're not using human agency to
24:53
accomplish this I think this will be a
24:55
gridline agency it would be something of
24:56
a miraculous nature I think it's true so
24:59
it's a it's a fascinating thing and the
25:01
circumstances in the world today seems
25:03
to be really setting the stage
25:05
especially even what's happening right
25:06
now in Iraq the southern part of Iraq
25:12
was ancient Babylon and the city of
25:14
Babylon plays a prominent role in the
25:18
last days and so the stage appears to be
25:21
set now the place called Mount Lydia
25:24
which in time W hood on
25:25
now a bit of a hotbed but when I turn on
25:28
the television and I see what's
25:29
happening either in Iraq or Israel I
25:32
don't look at what's happening with the
25:34
hope that it will work out because I see
25:37
that there are certain things that have
25:38
to happen for the world to be ready for
25:41
the return of Christ we've been told
25:44
that they're going to experience this
25:46
distress all the way to the end I've
26:00
been to Paris I've been to London I've
26:03
been to you know Moscow I've been New
26:05
York and Los Angeles a lot of places in
26:06
the world there is something about
26:11
Jerusalem this is what Jesus is coming
26:17
back
26:35
chuckling I found too efficient attorney
26:40
and the scope of my translations greater
26:44
for the time I said a chain or magnify
26:48
the precious name of Jesus praise His
26:52
name
26:54
don't take any instruments of death here
26:57
like this others a little pocket knife B
27:00
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts said yet
27:09
he would have ever done it
27:12
Paul speaks in Romans chapter six verse
27:14
one that we were buried with Christ in
27:17
Baptism so the last statement of Christ
27:19
going up here going to heaven is to
27:22
baptize the nation's and so it
27:25
demonstrates the importance of baptism
27:26
baptism is not just a good thing to do
27:29
it's obedience to Christ it's the first
27:32
act formally as a Christian the state
27:35
where we stand with Christ that is we
27:37
believe in him
27:44
thank you I practice several times
27:47
oh yes getting getting deep out here
27:57
it's a pretty good shot for pictures if
28:00
you want pictures right here you can
28:02
stand up here and get down pretty good
28:07
okay
28:09
people have different ways of doing
28:10
these things Sharon is following Christ
28:14
commands and baptism and so I now
28:17
baptize my sister in the name of the
28:20
Father and of the Son and of the Holy
28:22
Spirit i baptize her Maresa right now in
28:35
the name of the Father and of the Son
28:37
and of the Holy Spirit in the
28:50
tribulation that this will be the final
28:54
battleground and there are lots of
28:56
different thoughts as where that where
28:57
the final battle happens or any of those
29:00
things as a believer in our Lord Jesus
29:03
Christ will have will have the greatest
29:05
seat of all to watch it that's that's
29:07
that's something that's fantastic to me
29:10
we will not be here but we'll be able to
29:12
watch it better there is an ultimate
29:21
final battle thank you
29:23
you'll be I think a lot of fun to watch
29:26
you know not not fun in the sense of
29:30
knowing that people are dying without
29:32
having received Christ as their Savior
29:34
but but at the same time you know seeing
29:37
the the prophecy fulfilled seeing God's
29:40
work come out
29:47
Lord we thank you for all the goodness
29:49
you bring to us and we ask your guidance
29:54
this day help us to understand this land
29:59
and this city as you understood
30:30
a couple things about Herod there's no
30:33
real evidence that hearing that reaction
30:35
came here he made a lot of places he had
30:38
some across the Jordan you have to
30:41
realize all these place you're looking
30:42
at once upon a time were covered and
30:45
nice it was a nice place to be
30:46
you went out out of the Sun like we're
30:48
gonna be okay this was the last major
30:54
stronghold against the Roman attempts to
30:57
subjugate the Jewish people here in the
30:58
first century that we understand as
31:00
Americans because Americans have an
31:02
independent free spirit particularly
31:05
like Texas you know remember the Alamo
31:07
you know we're not going to be told that
31:09
we have to use the metric system you
31:11
know we want to use it we'll use it
31:12
different how we're not going to but
31:14
America is large enough country and we
31:16
the way we do business that we can
31:18
essentially do what we want to in that
31:19
regard
31:38
Oh
31:53
well there is Lennie takes us a few
31:59
minutes to talk about a couple of things
32:00
here on the the sea now anybody staying
32:04
around the Sea of Galilee much
32:06
recognizes that this lake is given to
32:08
storms and leaving the crowd they took
32:11
him with them in the boat and just as he
32:13
was and other boats were with him at a
32:15
great when storm arose and these
32:18
fishermen are afraid of the waves and
32:22
they bring an indictment against Jesus
32:25
don't you care about us and the wind
32:29
ceased it was a great calm then were
32:34
filled with great fear and said to one
32:36
another what new then is this that even
32:39
the wind and the sea obey you remember
32:42
of the Jewish people we're still trying
32:43
to figure out Jesus and so here he
32:47
finally walks in the water and then in
32:50
mark 4 they said what kind of man is
32:51
this
32:52
and finally they say what kind of God is
32:56
this
32:59
when he calms the winds and the storms
33:01
and when he walks on water you better
33:03
take a second look and finding when he
33:07
rises from the dead you better take a
33:10
good hard look
33:16
the classical Christian theology is that
33:20
the Jews are cursed to wander because
33:23
they didn't accept Jesus but the Jesus
33:28
written about in the New Testament is
33:30
sort of a collage many many of the
33:35
miracles and the details of his life the
33:38
kind of things you would put on his
33:39
curriculum vitae or resume these are
33:43
repeat stories and whether there was in
33:46
fact a historical Jesus or not our
33:48
sources indicate that he was a witch or
33:51
a sorcerer and a guy who had his eyes on
33:54
the ladies and not the greatest guy in
33:57
the world and we don't think he's coming
33:59
back
34:07
with Orthodox Judaism deep down inside
34:11
there's no hope there's no love there's
34:14
no future in the end only God can bring
34:19
salvation these people
34:27
we must have estate outreach projects to
34:30
the people of Israel and we've been so
34:34
encouraged to see the response to us as
34:35
Christians when we consider the last
34:38
2000 years of history between Christians
34:41
and Jews numbers of positive this is one
34:43
way the we as Christians can make a real
34:45
positive impact practically as well
34:47
financially ladies and gentlemen welcome
34:52
to the second annual Washington Israel
34:54
summit of Christians United for Israel
35:01
we have gathered here tonight from every
35:04
state in the Union to express our
35:06
solidarity with the State of Israel and
35:09
the Jewish people of the world
35:16
and I need you to go to the phone and
35:18
call and declare I will be a friend of
35:21
Israel
35:21
we're gonna keep Bible prophecy being
35:23
fulfilled and if you'll be one of a
35:26
thousand to give it out
35:30
now as far as the Imagi locals helping
35:34
we have a phrase called the Golden Rule
35:37
the one who has the gold is the one who
35:39
makes the rules and as one depends for
35:42
one's budget on somebody then that
35:45
somebody tends to gain control over
35:46
things and it's a very dangerous thing
35:48
to accept this money
35:54
they believe that Jews will be fulfilled
35:59
by accepting Jesus from a Jewish point
36:03
of view the very center of Jewish
36:05
identity is the Jewish faith and for
36:08
Jews to give up their faith would be to
36:12
cease being Jews
36:22
that is the kind of love that is being
36:25
expressed toward the Jews we love you
36:27
and we want you to give up with that
36:28
which is most basic to your identity
36:35
mushiya it's fascinating me the
36:37
fundamentalist are constantly talking
36:39
about Israel as though they were the
36:40
best friend of Israel in fact they want
36:42
to convert Jews and those Jews who don't
36:44
convert are going to hell so the people
36:47
in Israel better be very careful about
36:49
what kind of attention they give to
36:51
these fundamentalists okay upstairs
36:57
for all the Christians that love Israel
37:00
and for all these ladies who are so
37:04
grateful to you thank you for your
37:07
friendship thank you for your enthusiasm
37:09
and thank you for bringing the spirit of
37:14
gold we such colorful and powerful
37:19
manner as you always do the State of
37:22
Israel loves you and thanks you the
37:32
Bible clearly predicts that in the
37:34
center of the Middle East Israel must
37:37
exist as a sovereign nation on its
37:39
original land in the last days and
37:41
Jerusalem must be under the sovereign
37:43
control of Israel and then in the center
37:46
of Jerusalem the Temple Mount has to be
37:49
returned to Israel and preparation for
37:52
the rebuilding of the temple that is not
37:55
happen yet but it's certainly in process
38:00
not supposed to have any prayer books or
38:04
Bibles brought into the Temple Mount
38:07
okay I actually had my Bible taken from
38:11
your last summer they would
38:13
kidding when I came back another
38:14
Christian group had left all their
38:15
Bibles there some woman came and scooped
38:17
up everybody's Bible including ours we
38:20
didn't get ours back you can take a
38:22
notebook you can take Palm Pilots and
38:25
have Bibles on it and things like that
38:28
but the Muslims they don't like Bibles
38:30
so we'll be on the Temple Mount
38:40
the old city is very crowded and twisted
38:43
it's really like a labyrinth and you get
38:47
out of the labyrinth when you get to the
38:49
Temple Mount and suddenly everything
38:51
opens this is huge expanses just space
39:00
the very sensation of space opening
39:05
it's a spiritual experience I do maybe
39:14
three players at the mosque a day every
39:17
Friday we have to pray in the mosque and
39:19
I like the mosque because it is very
39:20
holy to Muslims this is the place where
39:25
our Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
39:27
made his night journey from Mecca to
39:30
al-aqsa mosque if you do not believe in
39:34
this then you are not a real Muslim this
39:42
place has been a holy place since the
39:44
beginning of the world and is in essence
39:47
the center of the world and we believe
39:50
that the rock inside of the Dome of the
39:53
rock which is called in Hebrew the
39:55
avinash dia which in English means the
39:57
foundation stone is the foundation stone
39:59
of the world that that is the place from
40:01
which God spread out the earth right now
40:07
it's in the hands of the Arabs we want
40:11
to change that status to return the
40:14
temple to its glory rebuild the temple
40:16
restore the sacrificial service
40:20
these are pictures that are inside the
40:23
Alaska mosque you'll notice also they
40:25
show from different angles in here so
40:27
this is sort of interesting if you want
40:28
something specifically for the Dome of
40:31
the rock how much you selling it for $1
40:34
you might want to you know you can you
40:37
can dicker with them I believe that
40:42
there will be a temple built the Dome of
40:44
the rock will somehow be done away with
40:46
I have no idea there's been plenty of
40:47
earthquakes up there that can solve it
40:49
Saddam kids are not Saddam but maybe
40:51
someone from Iran can shoot a missile
40:53
that gets off target and blow the dome
40:55
we kept hoping for that by the way I
40:57
kept hoping one of the Saddam's missiles
40:59
would find its way over to the dome I
41:03
don't know exactly how it's going to be
41:06
removed but it is not part of the end
41:10
times as far as the Bible or
41:13
Christianity is concerned I don't think
41:14
Judy isn't either there's no place for
41:15
that mosque it has to be removed for the
41:21
first time since the past 2,000 years
41:24
within our generation we are seeing
41:27
these preparations for the rebuilding of
41:29
the temple they are training the priests
41:30
they have the implements in place
41:36
there will be a daily offering in the
41:38
morning a daily offering in the
41:39
afternoon special offerings on the
41:41
Sabbath and holidays the Passover
41:43
sacrificed olive eels will be brought
41:46
again and the future temple will stand
41:48
forever the problem that you have at the
42:01
Temple Mount is that possession of the
42:04
Mount becomes interpreted as possession
42:07
of the truth and when people think that
42:11
they have to possess a place to possess
42:13
the truth that turns that spot into the
42:17
blasting cap of religious conflicts they
42:20
want to start a temple again they're
42:22
even creating temple vessels they're
42:25
trying to get ready for the building of
42:26
the temple so remember Jesus when he
42:29
said not one rock shall stand upon
42:31
another see what beautiful edifice is
42:34
that are on top of this temple here see
42:36
all these wonderful buildings around
42:38
there is not a single stone of the
42:41
building left the buildings are all gone
42:44
Jesus didn't say and after they finished
42:46
the buildings I'll taking the retaining
42:47
walls yeah when we close it sensitive
42:52
I'm now good no I mean it that we a the
42:55
very that's when we talk about either
42:58
Jewish temple or a Christ in the temple
43:02
and so on things are quite sensitive
43:04
here so we always try not to you know we
43:06
don't want to get into arguments or in
43:09
the kind of clashes here that's fine
43:10
thank you
43:11
I'm used to talking loud to be sure
43:13
project enough you can hear me sigh
43:14
apologize but anyway the point of it is
43:16
not one stone would be left on the top
43:18
of another refers to the buildings that
43:20
the disciples we're talking about not
43:22
the retaining walls around the done
43:25
I mean can I ask you to take another
43:28
picture please
43:32
Americans have been making pilgrimages
43:34
to the Middle East for hundreds of years
43:36
it's part of being biblically literate
43:39
to go there and walk the same ground
43:41
that Jesus walked on it's a very
43:43
powerful idea when you combine that with
43:46
the idea of triumphalism the idea that
43:48
my religion is the only true religion
43:50
and my God is the only true God and you
43:53
walk with that attitude to the Temple
43:55
Mount it is designed to create a
43:57
confrontation they don't want a peace
44:02
process they want the Muslims to be
44:04
evicted by the Jews the Jews to rebuild
44:07
the Temple of Solomon and then Christ to
44:09
return and Trump everybody family so
44:14
let's just have a real quick word of
44:17
Prayer before anybody comes up with the
44:18
international incident
44:20
okay Lord we do thank you for your grace
44:25
your goodness that you care about the
44:27
suffering we go through we continue to
44:29
pray for kinder would pray for your
44:30
healing hand on it wisdom to the doctors
44:33
family they might keep the insult as
44:36
things are coming to a head here
44:40
some people are studying where to put an
44:43
a-bomb in such a way that it will have
44:47
repercussions earthquakes enough to
44:50
flatten the whole area
44:56
even a symbolic act there can ignite
45:00
violence particularly at a time when the
45:05
tension between the Islamic world in the
45:07
West is so great
45:08
some young worshipers began to throw
45:11
stones at Israeli security forces the
45:14
Israelis responded stun grenades with
45:17
them with tear gas and pandemonium in
45:20
suit as Israeli forces basically took
45:22
over the entire compound of the Aqsa
45:26
Mosque and Iran Twelver Shiites for me
45:43
much more dangerous in those ticks and
45:46
evangelicals but together they may lock
45:50
into something really destructive
45:57
during the Tribulation Period Jerusalem
46:01
will become a place of horror for the
46:03
nation's I mean it will be a horrible
46:06
time for the Jews because the the anvil
46:10
on which the the human race seems to be
46:13
crushed is Israel
46:26
scriptures and Israel will be forced
46:28
into signing a seven-year peace treaty
46:30
with their Arab neighbors and the false
46:35
messiah we call the Antichrist Institute
46:38
this peace treaty and he will move into
46:41
the temple which he will have built and
46:45
declare himself God and then the Jewish
46:47
people will realize that he's not the
46:49
promised Messiah and then things to do
46:52
then things get really bad as I think
46:54
most Christians would would understand
46:56
to be the case and that would lead to
46:58
Armageddon God's timetable only God
47:06
knows but I think ultimately we're
47:09
moving in that direction where there is
47:11
going to be a confrontation between the
47:13
west and Islam for sure
47:19
let's be frank Islam's goal is not just
47:23
the Middle East it's the whole world
47:35
Islam is a world dominating religion and
47:38
they have a duty under the religious
47:41
view to essentially take over the world
47:44
for Allah so I don't think they can ever
47:49
be happy that Israel is a nation of
47:52
Jewish people that are not subservient
47:54
to Islam
48:09
the 1970s the evil ones were Red China
48:13
or the communist bloc Russia but of
48:17
course now with the fall of Russia and
48:20
the end of the Cold War then you look
48:21
for another Antichrist du jour to label
48:24
as the evildoers and this is now shifted
48:26
to demonizing the Muslim world
48:30
apocalyptic books like Revelation or
48:32
Daniel were never meant to be scripts
48:34
for those in power and that's when
48:36
danger arises that's when the book
48:39
becomes kind of even a self-fulfilling
48:41
prophecy of violence and destruction
48:54
the American Christian right have what I
48:57
would call an apocalyptic foreign policy
48:59
and if the people who are most making
49:03
their voice heard in Capitol Hill or at
49:05
the White House are people who think
49:06
that any peace plan is a is a plot of
49:11
the Antichrist that's going to get in
49:14
the way of pursuing peace the only place
49:23
you really have this statement of
49:25
Armageddon over here in Revelation let
49:27
me just give you the passage and since
49:29
we're standing here at the place behold
49:32
I am coming like a thief Jesus says and
49:35
they assemble them at the place that in
49:38
Hebrew is called Armageddon and that's
49:41
the only mention here but years ago I
49:45
used to be a police officer and for
49:48
about four years of deputy sheriff and
49:49
went on many raids we'd go and have some
49:51
fun you know breaking in places and and
49:54
but we would always meet as a police
49:56
group it may be fifteen different police
49:58
cars we'd always meet at a staging area
50:00
there we check our guns check everything
50:03
we have make sure the warrant is okay
50:05
and then we would all leave and converge
50:08
and I think that's what this is I think
50:10
this is a staging area where the armies
50:12
come together get everything organized
50:14
you want to make sure everybody
50:15
understands the game plan and then you
50:17
hit South I believe to Jerusalem and I
50:20
think that's where the battle occurs not
50:21
here at Armageddon we know what happens
50:25
when they get south they wish they'd
50:26
stayed north
50:44
grace will come back with a sword on his
50:48
side and he will come back as the
50:50
ultimate judge of the world we're gonna
50:54
be behind him with I believe words in
50:57
our hands and we're gonna we're gonna
51:00
beat his army
51:03
and this battle the blood from this
51:07
battle will be as high as a horse's
51:09
bridle it's it's just something mankind
51:13
has never witnessed before
51:19
combined all world wars you want with
51:23
all the other Wars into one
51:28
Iwo Jima Singh of Hiroshima
51:34
think of Gettysburg
51:37
everywhere on the face of the planet all
51:39
at once you know think of just the
51:41
mayhem in the bloodshed hurtling streams
51:48
God will then set up his kingdom back on
51:51
earth you know free of evil good morning
52:06
my guys partner how you doing I'm David
52:10
homeboy brother can work like you're
52:12
welcome we started this little church
52:17
not realizing we were starting a church
52:19
back in 1982 with four couples just
52:22
eight people meeting in our house
52:43
you
52:57
the Scripture speaks of Israel being a
53:00
heavy stone in the end times and and all
53:04
who would try to lift that stone or move
53:06
that stone will be hurt
53:15
separation of church and state is such a
53:18
myth
53:20
we encourage our people to vote
53:24
we even register people
53:32
the Christian fundamentalists believe
53:35
that this country is responsible to
53:36
Christianize the world therefore they
53:39
have to Christianize America first build
53:42
your hopes on it build your future own
53:44
and build your children on it this seems
53:46
the solid rock just that God thinks his
53:49
order is the best way for us to remain
53:53
the Messiah in our generation they are
54:02
more powerful than ABC CBS and NBC
54:04
together they reach 200 million people
54:07
around the world every week in 77
54:09
languages on 40,000 radio stations just
54:12
here in America you could get raptured
54:13
out of this building before I get
54:15
through finish preaching we love that
54:17
close to the coming of the Son of Man
54:19
they are not going away
54:20
they are so firmly entrenched on the
54:23
executive legislative and judicial
54:24
branches in Washington DC and in every
54:26
state capitol and in the school boards
54:28
in this country they are everywhere
54:33
and as the prophets foretold God will
54:37
come to take his people home no one
54:40
knows the day or the hour without anyone
54:44
all infants children and maybe misters
54:47
who disappear terror and confusion when
54:51
the world over for those left
54:55
the apocalypse has just begun
54:59
the Left Behind novels begin after the
55:03
good Christians who have been good all
55:04
along have been raptured well what
55:08
happens to everybody else either you
55:11
convert to our form of Christianity or
55:13
you are going to be hunted down by the
55:16
agents of the Antichrist and so it's
55:19
either convert or die praise the Lord
55:25
Armageddon theology rapture theology
55:27
this interest in war and the violence
55:30
the end times seems to have an almost
55:32
addictive power in our culture I think
55:35
we can see that in the Left Behind
55:36
novels how each one is almost sort of
55:38
more graphic and violent than the
55:40
previous one and people like that that's
55:41
what sells seven friends to go a kind of
55:45
voyeuristic wanting to see the suffering
55:48
and death of others
55:51
and this idea that I'm going to be one
55:54
of the save but my neighbor is not
56:05
when you turn your heart and your life
56:08
over to Christ when you accept Christ as
56:13
a savior
56:13
it changes your heart it changes your
56:15
life the most important thing in my life
56:20
is Jesus Christ Christians in America
56:23
have always been politically active but
56:25
Jimmy Carter was the first president to
56:27
announce that he had been born-again and
56:29
evangelicals were absolutely celebratory
56:33
that here is a person who stood up for
56:35
God stood up for Jesus so a strange
56:37
thing happened a lot of political
56:39
organizers on the right side of this and
56:41
said if Democrats can attract these
56:44
people so can we and we can do a better
56:46
job this is the country God has raised
56:49
up for the purpose of world
56:50
evangelization and they've concocted the
56:53
idea of a moral majority moral majority
56:56
is active in 47 states leaders claim
56:58
they've already gotten two million
57:00
born-again Christians registered to vote
57:02
and they hope to get three million more
57:04
by Election Day moral majority also
57:07
influenced the Republican platform one
57:09
that will enable conservative pastors to
57:11
rally their flocks for Ronald Reagan mr.
57:14
president I'd like to pick up this
57:15
Armageddon theme you've been quoted as
57:17
saying that you do believe deep down
57:18
that we are heading for some kind of
57:20
biblical Armageddon your Pentagon and
57:24
your Secretary of Defense have plans for
57:26
the United States to fight and prevail
57:28
in a nuclear war do you feel that we are
57:32
now heading perhaps for some kind of
57:34
nuclear Armageddon the prophecies down
57:37
through the years the biblical
57:39
prophecies of what would portend their
57:41
coming of Armageddon and so forth and
57:43
the fact that a number of theologians
57:47
for the last decade or more have
57:50
believed that this was true that the
57:53
prophecies are coming together that
57:56
portend thick but no one knows whether
57:58
Armageddon those prophecies mean that
58:00
Armageddon is a thousand years away or
58:03
day after tomorrow
58:31
pre-trib refers to the unique
58:33
perspective that Christ will be coming
58:36
for his church the bride his bride prior
58:40
to a period of tribulation
58:46
and there are people here they're radio
58:48
programs television programs you know
58:50
national exposure writing books things
58:53
that sort that reach I'm sure millions
58:57
the Holocaust of Germany was a literal
59:00
fulfillment one in recent history where
59:03
we can see this prophecy was coming
59:05
absolutely true
59:07
there is another prophecy just across a
59:10
couple of pages Deuteronomy chapter 30
59:15
this is a terrific teaching to all of
59:18
Bible prophecy right here is an example
59:20
you have Satan coming down there's the
59:23
Antichrist and it's all against a
59:26
backdrop of history of course this is
59:30
future history since God knows the
59:31
future he knows it perfectly and that's
59:35
what we find here
59:39
this book is going to focus on how the
59:42
voice of God will shake the earth at the
59:44
resurrection in the rapture and it's
59:47
something that a lot of the traditional
59:49
prophetic models aren't paying a lot
59:52
attention to as far as a global
59:54
catastrophe at that time and the war in
59:57
Iraq is particularly disturbing because
60:00
the prophetic implications well actually
60:02
it's a good thing for Christians but the
60:05
prophetic signs are they're increasing
60:07
just like the birth contractions of a
60:09
woman before she gives birth they get
60:12
faster and faster as the time goes
60:17
our next speakers Winehouse and I meant
60:20
weighing a number of years ago and he's
60:22
written at least 30 books right 134 just
60:29
to share something with you on a tour
60:31
that they with some Robbie and his
60:33
people this past summer if you notice we
60:36
did away with that big gold looking
60:38
thing
60:51
always get rid of that Photoshop and we
60:56
put the temple on so just who is God
61:05
then God even know prior to September
61:09
the 11th that it would actually bring
61:14
forth terrorism having another plane hit
61:18
the buildings did he recognize if he
61:20
should have done something else every
61:24
Friday you get based on the Bible
61:30
presents a God who is incapable of
61:33
failing why does he know that something
61:36
will occur because he is in charge of it
61:38
I believe that there's been a major
61:41
shift in the last to 15 to 20 years from
61:45
basically a culture that thinks about
61:48
the Bible in a more rational way to more
61:51
of a mysticism and that mysticism is
61:54
postmodernist that has led to a decline
61:58
in people interpreting the Bible
62:01
literally
62:04
what is it post-modernism
62:06
post-modernism is a worldview vine for
62:11
the hearts and minds lower post
62:13
modernists have their theological
62:15
underpinnings in atheism everything's up
62:19
for grabs
62:19
it is everything I say
62:23
if Derrida were here today he would
62:26
agree and then he would say or what
62:30
anyone know his famous statement or vice
62:33
versa
62:34
thus postmodern literary criticism
62:37
claims that words never describe get
62:40
this the objective world Wow
62:44
and this is heavy on one level we can
62:48
agree that the state of the train is
62:50
comeing main convey a multitude of
62:52
interpretations to different people but
62:54
we contend that if people failing it off
62:57
the tracks the result of their
62:59
interpretation could true fatal you talk
63:03
about foolishness look at the results of
63:06
applying deconstruction to law revealed
63:08
in 1973 roe v wade case the Supreme
63:12
Court justices chose to look at the
63:15
Constitution as a living document that
63:18
is open to many interpretations one
63:21
consequence of that interpretation is
63:23
that since 1973 over 40 million unborn
63:27
children have been murdered at the
63:29
request of their own mothers postmoderns
63:33
are correct about one thing
63:34
interpretation is important Confucius is
63:37
quoted as saying when words lose their
63:39
meaning people lose their freedom
63:40
however it's worse than that in reality
63:42
when words lose their meaning people not
63:45
only lose their freedom they lose their
63:46
lives
63:56
America is already engaged in the third
64:00
world war and we simply do not know it
64:07
the battle for the survival of America
64:09
and Western civilization is engaged why
64:13
were we attacked on 9/11 this is a
64:16
statement that people keep asking why do
64:19
they hate us they don't hate us because
64:21
of our support for Israel only someone
64:24
dumb enough to believe the New York
64:25
Times would believe that they hate us
64:28
because it's their religious duty to
64:30
hate us they hate us because radical
64:33
Islam is a doctrine of death it is their
64:35
desire their hope their ambition their
64:38
highest honor to die as a martyr killing
64:43
Christians and Jews Islamofascists
64:49
called Jews hates and tears they call
64:52
Christian's quote those who incur
64:54
Allah's wrath all must be killed if they
64:58
cannot convert if you think that they
65:02
can be negotiated with or reasoned with
65:05
your simple mistake now America's trying
65:09
to gut Israel to appease Islamofascism
65:14
say give them Judea and give them
65:17
Samaria give them part of Jerusalem I
65:19
say never never because the integrity of
65:25
God rests with Israel and
65:27
civility to keep the city Jerusalem has
65:30
seized now and forever continue with the
65:35
validation that the world is at war
65:37
consider that America England France
65:39
Israel have been attacked
65:41
Spain is involved with radical Islam in
65:46
France is it well
65:48
last spring the world watched on global
65:51
television is radical Islamic you'd set
65:53
Paris on fire night after night
65:56
hour after hour chanting death to the
65:59
Jews death to the Jews when you throw
66:03
out the Islamic attacks in Pakistan
66:04
after the understand Yemen
66:07
Philippines Egypt Turkey Bangladesh and
66:09
Thailand three has started
66:16
and then the basements and matrices of
66:18
America right now waiting to respond to
66:21
the commands that they have they intend
66:24
to conquer America they intend to crush
66:28
Western civilization
66:39
there was a war between Islam and
66:41
fascism and freedom
66:44
the culture of death and those who love
66:46
life liberty and the pursuit of
66:49
happiness
66:50
it is a war we must win the Bible says
66:57
that you ladies and gentlemen or the
67:00
light of the world may god and on each
67:03
of you and there can be a spiritual
67:06
awakening in this country that Christ
67:08
will be seen as the answer for there is
67:11
no other name given among men whereby we
67:13
might be saved
67:34
and I see offices
67:41
every day and
67:44
- this heart
67:47
they're very
67:51
this past summer Pastor John Hagee
67:54
advocated strike on Iran on the part of
67:57
the United States this is really
67:59
dangerous in terms of geopolitics to
68:01
think that somehow United States foreign
68:03
policy is prescribed in the Bible God
68:07
doesn't require World War three as part
68:09
of the prophetic plan I've written the
68:14
books for the evangelicals I have Pastor
68:16
Dan evangelical church I am an
68:18
evangelical but I'm saying so many of my
68:21
fellow evangelicals who are being
68:22
betrayed by leaders who are in a kind of
68:26
fit of fundamentalism guys John hor can
68:31
opener yes I wash the trap I know you
68:34
made me cut up a finger John for your
68:37
chest - okay Anna
68:53
let's see that's gonna come down to you
68:54
just rip it out for me with it
68:56
can you pull on that okay yes yes I know
69:07
Berta Bible okay okay Oh
69:11
ball ball tells me so little ones him
69:20
belong they are weak but he is strong
69:54
first of all Christ is going to trash
69:56
the planet during the tribulation he's
69:59
going to destroy the planet but he's
70:00
going to clean it up for what's called
70:01
the Millennium the thousand-year reign
70:03
of Christ won't even have to use the EPA
70:05
or anything and he is going to bring in
70:09
a improved environment supernaturally
70:21
the present heavens and earth are
70:23
completely destroyed and a new heavens
70:26
and new earth are created with a new
70:30
jerusalem the only city that has a
70:33
permanent future
70:38
in the Jewish people as a totality
70:41
having gone through a tribulation period
70:43
I think they will as a group as a whole
70:45
nation will embrace Yeshua as their
70:49
Messiah it's almost as if the world is
70:55
going to return to its pristine State
71:01
there will be no evil so there will be
71:03
no sin there will be no death you may
71:08
find nature in a perpetual flowering
71:11
stage you know you may not have a fall
71:13
who knows if the lion sits down with the
71:20
lamb and doesn't eat each other children
71:22
can play with vipers when Jesus sets up
71:27
his kingdom that lasts for a thousand
71:29
years I want to be invited to be one of
71:32
the ministers in his government whether
71:33
it's the dog catcher in some town you
71:36
know the chief of Agriculture of this
71:37
area so I look forward to it I'm excited
71:42
about the rapture the church I wish it
71:44
would happen before things get real bad
71:51
we are heartbroken to see what is
71:54
occurring in Iraq throughout the Middle
71:56
East with all of these this tragedy
71:59
going on at the same time it is sweet in
72:02
the sense that it is not history running
72:06
out of control God is in control of
72:11
history and the end of it as a beautiful
72:13
ending
73:31
you
