WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840 Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim 2 00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:09.420 truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. 3 00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:17.880 Among other terrorist groups, they had a chant, death to America and death to Israel. 4 00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:23.620 They've been chanting this since I've been a kid and one of those things is that we 5 00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:27.940 are not going to stop until Israel is driven into the Mediterranean and there's no 6 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:34.940 Jews alive. I'm not making this up, ladies and gentlemen, you just don't want to hear it. 7 00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:42.500 You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast. 8 00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:48.420 Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ, 9 00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:53.420 then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings. To us, that's like saying 10 00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:59.340 amen or yes. Then that rating will encourage others to listen. Now, open your hearts to 11 00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:04.740 what God's word has to say to you. Here is Jack Hibbs. 12 00:01:04.740 --> 00:01:11.220 The Bible tells us and warns us what is known as eschatology. It's a big word, big meaning. 13 00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:18.020 The Bible is the only eschatological book in the world that is accurate and that has 14 00:01:18.020 --> 00:01:24.020 the record that it has. Did you know that the Bible, when it comes to eschatological teaching, 15 00:01:24.020 --> 00:01:30.580 which is future teaching, Bible prophecy, the Quran fails, the Book of Mormon fails, 16 00:01:30.580 --> 00:01:40.580 Jova witnesses fail, the Tibetan book of the dead, the sages of ancient times passed. All 17 00:01:40.580 --> 00:01:45.180 of the various religions of the world, they claim to have prophecies, but in reality, 18 00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:51.420 they never produce one. That's why, listen, I often get confused on an airplane flight or 19 00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:57.980 where I'm at in some country because I'll be talking about the Jewish scriptures, for example, 20 00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:04.940 and on my ring in Hebrew, it says, your people, my people, your God, my God, and so people will say, 21 00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:10.940 oh, are you Jewish? And I said, no, but the God I worship is Jewish. And you might say, 22 00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:16.220 what a thing to say. No, it's exactly the thing to say. If you understand the Bible, 23 00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:24.060 and today we're all about the Bible, and I hope tomorrow and forever, we're only about the Bible. 24 00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:29.740 Can you just jot this down in your note taking please regarding Israel and what's next? Israel 25 00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:37.020 now is fighting its greatest war since the Holocaust. There have been more Israelis murdered 26 00:02:37.420 --> 00:02:48.220 than any other time since the Holocaust. And what is spooling up now has involved these nations 27 00:02:48.220 --> 00:02:57.500 as of this hour. Number one, Iran, key player, jot it down, Iran. China, we'll talk about the 28 00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:06.060 connection. Russia, no surprise to the Bible student of the book of Ezekiel. Turkey, 29 00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:17.740 or in your Old Testament, Turkey is referred to as Togamar. Syria, Lebanon, believe it or not, 30 00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:27.260 North Korea is involved. Tragically now, with the breakup of this current government's policies 31 00:03:27.260 --> 00:03:32.220 of the United States, Saudi Arabia has basically bailed out of the Abraham Accords and has 32 00:03:32.220 --> 00:03:37.820 cited with China regarding its condemnation of Israel. This is a shocker, but don't worry, 33 00:03:37.820 --> 00:03:44.060 according to the book of Ezekiel, Saudi Arabia will have a turn of thought because in the book 34 00:03:44.060 --> 00:03:50.140 of Ezekiel, they will become an ally to Israel in that future battle. So we'll keep an eye on that. 35 00:03:50.140 --> 00:03:53.340 Obviously, the United States. We'll talk more about that. England, 36 00:03:55.180 --> 00:04:05.180 France, and now the nation of Taiwan. These nations that I've just mentioned are either directly 37 00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:12.380 involved or in support of or falling victim to the nations I've just mentioned to you right now. 38 00:04:12.380 --> 00:04:23.900 Taiwan is on the cusp of it being gone. China is about ready to walk into Taiwan. 39 00:04:25.020 --> 00:04:30.060 They will probably wait a little bit longer until the United States is fully 40 00:04:31.260 --> 00:04:37.500 depleted of military capabilities to defend Taiwan. However, 41 00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:44.620 we'll see what the Lord has in store. Church, mark this down if you would. We're going to call it 42 00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:52.060 number one. As I begin to look at number one, it's this. What do we know for sure? I will both give 43 00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:58.220 Scripture and I will give commentary. This is what we know for sure. Is that what is going on right 44 00:04:58.220 --> 00:05:05.660 now in Israel was inevitable? Because of the Islamic doctrine that you've been hearing for years, 45 00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:11.820 but you didn't pay attention to it, and it predominantly came out of Iran that fueled its 46 00:05:11.820 --> 00:05:21.500 proxies such as ISIS, Hezbollah in the north in Lebanon, and in some degree Hamas in the south. 47 00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:29.660 Among other terrorist groups, they had a chant. Death to America and death to 48 00:05:30.140 --> 00:05:37.900 Israel. They've been chanting this since I've been a kid. One of those things is that we are not 49 00:05:37.900 --> 00:05:43.820 going to stop until Israel is driven into the Mediterranean and there's no Jews alive. I'm not 50 00:05:43.820 --> 00:05:48.860 making this up, ladies and gentlemen, you just don't want to hear it. It is their agenda 51 00:05:50.380 --> 00:05:58.940 and it's published. It's preached in mosques around the world on Fridays. We don't want to know 52 00:05:59.020 --> 00:06:06.060 that as Westerners. Michele Gorbachev said before the Soviet Union fell, Michele Gorbachev told the 53 00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:15.820 Supreme Soviet, he said, we need to make sure and capitalize on this fact that the Americans do not 54 00:06:15.820 --> 00:06:24.940 want to know. We don't want to know stuff like this. We just want to have two days off. 55 00:06:25.900 --> 00:06:32.460 We want to go to Disneyland from time to time and pray that the Rams win a game. 56 00:06:35.260 --> 00:06:42.060 We're a people occupied with distractions and the hour now is upon us that the distractions 57 00:06:42.060 --> 00:06:51.580 can no longer be part of our lives. So what do we know for sure? Well, number one is that Israel 58 00:06:52.140 --> 00:07:02.060 is mentioned in the Bible by the very mouth of God himself. Israel, the name is not an invention. 59 00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:12.700 Genesis chapter 32 verse 28, Moses writes, and he said, your name shall no longer be called Jacob 60 00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:21.260 but Israel. For you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed. Genesis, the book of 61 00:07:21.260 --> 00:07:29.340 Genesis, in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, Genesis, God says regarding Jacob, I'm not 62 00:07:29.340 --> 00:07:33.020 going to call you Jacob anymore. I'm going to call you Israel. It's the first time it appears in 63 00:07:33.020 --> 00:07:38.940 the Bible. You mark that down. You remember that everybody. The Bible is God's communication. 64 00:07:38.940 --> 00:07:44.940 It's God's megaphone. The Bible is God's message to mankind. It's validated. It's confirmed. 65 00:07:45.900 --> 00:07:50.940 The Bible is not going anywhere, friends. You can burn every Bible in the world. It doesn't change 66 00:07:50.940 --> 00:07:56.460 God's eternal truth. He can't stop the Bible. You can kill every Jew and every Christian and 67 00:07:56.460 --> 00:08:02.460 burn every Bible. It doesn't stop God's truth. God's truth's eternal and he gave us his word in the 68 00:08:02.460 --> 00:08:08.220 Bible and if you burn the Bible, it doesn't stop God's truth. He's going to do it anyway. The Bible 69 00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:15.260 says God is not a man that he should lie. Isn't that great? I love that. But God says, he says, 70 00:08:15.260 --> 00:08:21.740 he invents the word Israel. Deuteronomy, are you ready? Write small. Deuteronomy chapter four, 71 00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:26.780 verse 29, and from there you will seek the Lord your God. He's speaking to Israel and you will 72 00:08:26.780 --> 00:08:32.060 find him if you seek him with all of your heart and with all of your soul, my Jewish friends, 73 00:08:32.060 --> 00:08:36.940 Gentiles, Muslims. Why don't you decide today to seek God with all of your heart and with all 74 00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:43.180 of your soul? Because that's what God requires. When you are in distress and all these things come 75 00:08:43.180 --> 00:08:49.180 upon you in the last days, when you turn to the Lord your God and obey his voice for the Lord 76 00:08:49.180 --> 00:08:56.700 your God is a merciful God, he will not forsake you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant of 77 00:08:56.700 --> 00:09:05.820 your fathers which he swore to them. Did he ask them to swear to him? No. The God of the Bible swore 78 00:09:05.900 --> 00:09:14.860 to the fathers of the people of Israel known as the Jewel. And today I want to give you this warning 79 00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:19.740 before anybody tunes us off or turns us off or gets out and walks out and says, you know what, 80 00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:24.940 I'm a New Testament Christian. I live in the New Testament era. Listen, what in the world are you 81 00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:30.700 talking about? You have no New Testament promises without the God of the Old Testament keeping His 82 00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:37.180 promises. If He doesn't keep His promises to Israel, He cannot, will not, has no obligation to 83 00:09:37.180 --> 00:09:44.140 keep any promise to you. Remember, the Bible says that the Gentile has been grafted into His salvation. 84 00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:52.940 The Bible says don't boast against the root. Remember that. People are not, listen, I know people 85 00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:57.740 are going to call me and write me about this message. I'm not going to answer. Just listen to the 86 00:09:57.740 --> 00:10:04.940 message again. Just listen to it again and again and again. Isaiah 42 verse 9, behold the former 87 00:10:04.940 --> 00:10:10.460 things have come to pass as God. New things I declare before they spring forth. I tell you of them. 88 00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:16.140 The God of the Bible knows the future in advance. Everything that's going on right now. Yes, 89 00:10:16.140 --> 00:10:21.340 it's horrible to see what's happening. Let me be honest. I'm going to be very honest. It's horrible 90 00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:26.380 what's happening in Israel. It's horrible what's happening to children and women and soldiers and 91 00:10:26.380 --> 00:10:31.660 citizens and old ladies and old men. It's horrible. It's also horrible of what's happening to 92 00:10:31.660 --> 00:10:38.780 the people that are in Gaza. It's all, listen, there are Christians in Gaza. They're Christians in 93 00:10:38.780 --> 00:10:43.580 Gaza. They live there, but they're not, listen, they got to hide from the Muslims and they got to 94 00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:47.740 stay away from the Jews. They can't interface with the Jews because the Jews don't like them. 95 00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:53.340 They're basically living in no man's land. They'll get killed if their Christianity is found out. 96 00:10:54.140 --> 00:11:00.940 But know this, that in the whole mix, my heart goes out to everybody who is sincerely 97 00:11:02.300 --> 00:11:10.140 involved versus a perpetrator who's involved. There are those who are using the Palestinian people 98 00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:17.020 for their war effort. I do not have the time. I'm going to, I'm not going to do all your homework 99 00:11:17.020 --> 00:11:22.380 for you. It's too much. I'm not kidding. You should see the data I left back in that room right now. 100 00:11:22.380 --> 00:11:25.660 Maybe we'll publish it somehow, but I don't want to do all the work for you. I'm going to make 101 00:11:25.660 --> 00:11:30.220 a statement. You go see if it's true. The lieutenant commander of Hamas said, 102 00:11:32.460 --> 00:11:41.020 the Jews love life and that's their weakness. They want to live that makes them weak. We want to die 103 00:11:41.020 --> 00:11:49.420 that makes us strong. That's why when we use our women and children in battle, they are the heroes 104 00:11:49.420 --> 00:12:01.420 who die before us. Who thinks like that? Demons. Devilish doctrines. Does not the Bible say 105 00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:08.300 that in the last days doctrines of demons and evil spirits of teaching will permeate the world? 106 00:12:08.300 --> 00:12:13.580 We read a moment ago that Jesus said, watch out because there's going to be false teachers in the 107 00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:21.340 last days. What kind of a mindset hides behind women and children to execute their war? 108 00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:27.260 The logic that says, it's okay if they die. It's okay if I lose my wife. I'll just get another 109 00:12:27.260 --> 00:12:32.540 wonder. I got four of them. If I lose one, I got three. I'll get another one. My kids, they die, 110 00:12:32.540 --> 00:12:39.420 they die in the cause. They're not casualties of war. They're actually believed to be warriors 111 00:12:39.420 --> 00:12:47.580 says the lieutenant commander of Hamas. Isaiah 66 verse 8. Who has heard such a thing? 112 00:12:48.380 --> 00:12:53.180 Who has seen such a thing? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? 113 00:12:55.100 --> 00:13:03.020 Or shall a nation be born in a day? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children. 114 00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:11.980 You can write next Isaiah 66 verse 8. You can write down May 14, 1948. There's no other nation, 115 00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:17.420 listen, skeptic, no other nation in the history of mankind that it has had its rebirth in one day 116 00:13:17.420 --> 00:13:26.380 except Israel. No other nation. The moment May 48, 1948 happened, May 14, 1948 happened. The 117 00:13:26.380 --> 00:13:32.540 moment that that happened, God's stopwatch started again. Right now, Gentiles in this world 118 00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:36.860 were living on borrowed time. The Church of Jesus Christ in the earth. This is the first time in 119 00:13:36.860 --> 00:13:42.860 human history that Israel and the church have existed at the same time, which means God's about 120 00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:47.020 ready to go to work with Israel if you know your Bible and he's about ready to be done with the 121 00:13:47.020 --> 00:13:52.220 church on earth. It's a remarkable time you and I are living in and we ought to be looking up as 122 00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:57.820 Jesus told us to be. Zachariah chapter 12. By the way, if you don't know your Bible, this is 123 00:13:57.820 --> 00:14:04.140 all Old Testament prophets we're talking about here. These are the Hebrew prophets. Zachariah 12 124 00:14:04.140 --> 00:14:09.420 verse 2 says, behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people or nations 125 00:14:09.420 --> 00:14:18.380 round about. When the nation shall be in siege, both against Judah and against Jerusalem and in 126 00:14:18.380 --> 00:14:24.380 that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the nations. All that burdened themselves 127 00:14:24.380 --> 00:14:29.180 with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people or the nations of the earth be gathered 128 00:14:29.900 --> 00:14:35.420 gathered together against it. Is that amazing everybody? How many rivers does Jerusalem have flowing 129 00:14:35.420 --> 00:14:42.460 through it? Zero. Does Jerusalem have oil? None. Is there an airport in Jerusalem? Nope. 130 00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:51.580 You name it. It ain't got it. You know what? In fact, when it rains in Jerusalem, rocks grow. 131 00:14:54.460 --> 00:15:01.660 The Bible says the epicenter city of the world. I know it's hard for Americans to believe this. 132 00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:09.820 It's not Hollywood. It's not LA. It's not New York. It's Jerusalem. 133 00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:17.020 And these are... Listen, Isaiah is nearly 3,000 years old from our day right here right now. 134 00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:23.420 And the Bible says in the last days, Jerusalem is going to be the issue. My friends, it's not Gaza. 135 00:15:23.980 --> 00:15:32.220 It's not the Palestinian people. The target's Jerusalem. For a reason. Isaiah 43 verse 3 says, 136 00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:39.180 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt for your ransom, 137 00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:46.940 Ethiopia and Shiba in your place. Since you were precious in my sight, you have been honored and 138 00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:54.700 I have loved you. Therefore, I gave men for you and people for your life, fear not, for I am with you. 139 00:15:54.700 --> 00:16:00.140 I will bring your descendants from the east and gather them from the west. I will say to the north, 140 00:16:00.140 --> 00:16:06.940 give them up and to the south, do not keep them back. Bring my sons from afar in my daughters 141 00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:13.180 from the ends of the earth. See, God's a Zionist. It means he's going to build up his land of Zion. 142 00:16:14.380 --> 00:16:19.180 He's doing it. He's been doing it. And nothing's going to stop him from doing it. 143 00:16:20.300 --> 00:16:23.980 Even this war that's going on right now, you think God is waking up and saying, 144 00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:31.420 oh my goodness, how did this happen? He knows everything. I understand the suffering is hard to 145 00:16:31.420 --> 00:16:36.860 handle, but we're not God. And by the way, let me say this, we've been creating the image of God. 146 00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:43.100 If we care about the suffering, he cares about it infinitely amount more. We just don't deal with 147 00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:48.700 it like he does. When he, listen, Abraham says in the end, Abraham said, shall not the Lord of all 148 00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:54.620 of the earth do well or do right or do what is right. Right now, you and I want to call the shots. 149 00:16:55.180 --> 00:17:02.060 God says sit down. I got this. Well, how can this be happening? He answers. 150 00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:09.500 In the book of Deuteronomy, he answers in many other places. He answers. But don't worry. 151 00:17:10.060 --> 00:17:19.180 It's not over till it's over. And he's the one that determines that. God is in control of time. 152 00:17:20.860 --> 00:17:25.340 And Jesus said, there'll be wars and rumors of wars. But does that not describe this moment we're in? 153 00:17:27.100 --> 00:17:34.780 Isaiah 59 verse 21, as for me says Yahweh. This is my covenant with them. My spirit who is upon you 154 00:17:34.860 --> 00:17:40.700 and my words which I put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your 155 00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:51.260 descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants. Descendants says Yah or Yahweh. Yahova. From this time 156 00:17:51.260 --> 00:17:57.900 and forevermore, somebody say amen to that. Our God is alive. He's real and he has a name. His name 157 00:17:58.060 --> 00:18:04.460 is Yah or Yahweh. Salvation. And he says I'll not turn anyone away who comes to me. 158 00:18:09.260 --> 00:18:13.660 This Jack Kibb's podcast as well as all the broadcasts out reach opportunities are 159 00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:21.340 listener supported.
