WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.760 Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim 2 00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:10.840 truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. I believe that we are now 3 00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:18.560 starting to see on a more acceptable level. We are certainly being primed like a 4 00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:26.120 pump. In four days we went from balloon to UFO. I submit to you tonight that 5 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:31.400 something has happened in recent time that has opened a door as it were of 6 00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:37.920 demonic activity that is now upon planet Earth. It may have always been here, but 7 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.720 now there's something going on. 8 00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:48.240 You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast. 9 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.520 Today if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled 10 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.400 life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings.

Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you. Here is Jack 13 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:16.720 Hibbs. John chapter 14 verse 29 Jesus is now I've told you before it comes that 14 00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:21.600 when it does come to pass you may believe. Notice that the things that are 15 00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:26.920 happened in the world are designed that you might believe. Not jump up and down, 16 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.640 not swing from chandeliers, not do this or do that, but God tells you these 17 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.560 things in advance that you might believe. In Matthew chapter 24 which is the 18 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.160 Olivet Discourse. In other words Jesus gave this teaching to his disciples 19 00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:50.240 regarding the moments that would lead up to his second coming return to 20 00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:54.920 Jerusalem to establish his kingdom. But out of it we can glean some important 21 00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.600 things. Again keep in mind of what's going on in our world around us. Jesus went 22 00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:04.440 out and departed from the temple and his disciples came to him to show him the 23 00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:09.200 buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, do you not see all these things? 24 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:14.000 Assuredly I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another that shall 25 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.160 not be thrown down. Now as he sat on the mount of olives, that's why what he's 26 00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:25.320 about to say is called the Olivet Discourse. The disciples came to him 27 00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:31.920 privately saying or asking, they're going to ask three questions. See if you can 28 00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:37.280 catch them. Tell us, they're speaking to Jesus, tell us when will these things 29 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.800 be? That is the destruction of the temple would be indicative of the 30 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:46.000 destruction of the nation. Jesus, if we don't have a temple, we don't have a 31 00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:54.280 country. What are you talking about? When will these things be? Number two, what 32 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.360 will be the sign of your coming? And number three, the end of the age or the end 33 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:05.440 of the world as we know it, the end of the age. And Jesus, verse four, said to 34 00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:10.520 them, take heed that no one deceives you. We don't need to go any further than 35 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.480 that portion of scripture. But to say deception is the greatest thing that comes 36 00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:20.440 against you tonight. With all that's going on in the world around us, deception 37 00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:28.880 is everywhere like never before. In all areas, and we'll address some of those 38 00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:35.320 tonight, Ephesians 5, verse 6, let no one deceive you with empty words for because 39 00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:41.480 of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. A son of 40 00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:47.360 disobedience is someone who has been deceived. Don't let that happen to you. 41 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.440 Colossians, chapter 2, verse 8, beware, less than anyone cheat you through 42 00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:57.240 philosophy and empty deceit according to the traditions of men, according to the 43 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:02.120 basic principles of the world and not according to Christ. Beautiful warnings. 44 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:08.640 Acts chapter 1, listen to this. And being assembled together with them, he, that 45 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:13.440 is Jesus, commanded them, not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the 46 00:04:13.440 --> 00:04:19.480 promise of the Father. Which he said, you have heard from me, that's Jesus 47 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:25.120 speaking, for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the 48 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:31.720 Holy Spirit, not many days from now, verse 6. Therefore, when they had come 49 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:37.200 together, they asked him saying, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom 50 00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:42.760 to Israel? That's their question. So Jesus, you died on the cross, you rose 51 00:04:42.760 --> 00:04:48.240 again from the dead, you're glorified, we're talking to you right now, does the 52 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.920 kingdom age begin? Are you going to go sit on the throne of David now, just down 53 00:04:52.920 --> 00:05:00.160 the street, in Jerusalem? Normal thinking, I get it. You and I would have thought 54 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.960 the exact same thing. This is where Jesus throws off the tyranny of Rome and 55 00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:12.480 he establishes a kingdom. What could be left? Makes perfect sense. And it does make 56 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:18.520 perfect sense, unless God's got a plan to bring a whole lot of others into the 57 00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:24.080 kingdom of God. Verse 7, and he said to them, it is not for you to know the times 58 00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:28.680 and the seasons which the Father has put in his own authority. You have to ask 59 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:34.400 yourself this question. Why did Jesus say that? The answer is, because 2000 60 00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:40.640 years had to pass, because Scripture does not contradict Scripture. We're going 61 00:05:40.640 --> 00:05:45.240 to find out in Thessalonians that the Bible tells us Paul will say, you will have 62 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.720 in first Timothy, you'll have no need that I should write on to you concerning the 63 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:57.760 times and the seasons. You're going to know. So what's different? 2000 years? That's 64 00:05:57.760 --> 00:06:02.520 what's different. That's why tonight's different for you than those 2000 years 65 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:10.320 ago. Listen to this. He's going to prove that to us here in a moment. Verse 8, but 66 00:06:10.320 --> 00:06:15.120 you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you shall be 67 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:22.840 witnesses to me in Jerusalem, notice, and in all Judea, epicenter, outward. Next 68 00:06:22.840 --> 00:06:28.160 is Samaria. Beyond Samaria is the end of the earth, the uttermost parts of the 69 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:34.040 earth to Chino Hills. Now, when he had spoken these things, watched this, while 70 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:39.040 they watched, he was taken up in a cloud, that is not a cloud, by the way, of a 71 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:45.240 cloudy day. That is the glory of God. This is probably angelic, angelic 72 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:51.320 manifestation being the cloud that he's received up into. This is glory. This is 73 00:06:51.320 --> 00:06:57.040 not a cloudy day. And received up out of their sight. And while they looked, 74 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:01.880 stood fast toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them, white 75 00:07:01.880 --> 00:07:06.720 apparel, no doubt angels, who said to them, men of Galilee, why do you stand 76 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:14.120 gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven will 77 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:19.160 so come again and like manners you've seen him go into heaven. What an awesome 78 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.400 statement. By the way, that applies in two ways. Number one, when Christ returns 79 00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:27.440 for his church, he's going to appear in the atmosphere and call us up. We'll 80 00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:33.240 talk about that soon. But also in the second coming, the Bible tells us every 81 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.680 eye will see him. The entire unbelieving world will see him. The Bible says that 82 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:44.200 in the second coming, the world will tremble for fear over the wrath of the 83 00:07:44.200 --> 00:07:48.400 lamb that has come to judge the earth. Can you imagine? That's the second 84 00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:53.160 coming. And that is where he sets up that kingdom that the disciples were 85 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.400 asking about. But the church had a missionary call. And there were to be sent out. 86 00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:01.880 And Jesus told them, you're going to go to Jerusalem, you're going to go to 87 00:08:01.880 --> 00:08:06.480 Judea, Samaria, and then you're going to go to the other most parts of the 88 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.800 earth. I wonder what they thought about that. They looked at the sand dial on 89 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:16.280 their wrist and figured out how fast can we get that done? And it's amazing. I 90 00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:19.600 want to put this statement up on the screens for you. We'll just look at it 91 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.320 together. All current events must be viewed in light of the number one most 92 00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:28.840 important biblical prophecy in the Bible regarding the last days. This is the 93 00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:32.760 most important. Get this right. This is the most important Bible prophecy 94 00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:36.700 concerning the last days. I personally believe the most important Bible 95 00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:42.680 prophecy of all time is Genesis 315, where they're the prophecy by God is 96 00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:47.680 given that we will be redeemed from the seed of the woman which refers to a 97 00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:53.100 woman bringing forth the Messiah that would save us from our sins. The greatest 98 00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:58.480 prophecy of all is that God would save us. And that was uttered to Adam and 99 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:04.600 Eve from the lips of God himself. So all current events must be viewed in 100 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:08.120 light of the number one most important biblical prophecy in the Bible 101 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:12.720 regarding the last days. And if you miss this one, you miss them all. And it is 102 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:19.000 the re-existence or the rebirth of the nation Israel. We must start here 103 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:25.640 tonight. Today the modern state of Israel is the single most important time stamp 104 00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:29.040 regarding the future. Friends listen, you say, Jack, man, I thought you're going to 105 00:09:29.040 --> 00:09:35.640 talk about balloons and stuff. We will. We will. But it's all based on the single 106 00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:39.000 most important prophetic fulfillment in the Bible. And that is the nation of 107 00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:43.760 Israel. That is what God said. You'll know when I'm going to go to work again when 108 00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:47.400 I bring Israel back from all of the nations of the world back into her own 109 00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:51.360 land. Listen to this. And I'll even bring them back into their own land. He 110 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:56.040 stood in Ezekiel and they'll come back in unbelief. Did you know that? The Jews 111 00:09:56.040 --> 00:10:02.800 in Israel today call themselves Jews. Most of them claim to be atheists. Go 112 00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:07.680 figure that out. And when you do talk to them, they're all angry. They don't 113 00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:11.520 believe in the God that put them through the Holocaust and everything else. 114 00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:14.600 They're all upset with them who they don't believe in, but they're upset with 115 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:21.000 them. But I always pointed out to them, it's fascinating. Your Bible prophecy 116 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:25.160 right in front of me. Because the Bible says that you'd come back to your own 117 00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:32.120 land in unbelief. You don't believe in Yahweh right now. You don't trust them. 118 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:36.720 You don't read His Word. But just know this. God anticipated all that. The point 119 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:41.160 was I'm going to give the nation a rebirth. And you need to ask that question. 120 00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:44.920 Did that really happen? So mark this down just in our arguments tonight. 121 00:10:44.920 --> 00:10:51.200 Arriving now is the fact that Israel exists tonight, a second time, and no 122 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:55.640 nation in the history of man has ever come alive, a second time, but Israel. 123 00:10:55.640 --> 00:11:02.520 Where is that found in the Bible? Nearly 3,000 years ago, Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 66 124 00:11:02.520 --> 00:11:07.200 verse 8, Who has hurt such a thing? Who has seen such a thing? Shall the earth be 125 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:13.000 made to give birth in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion 126 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:22.000 was in labor, she gave birth to her children. And on May 14, 1948, Israel became a 127 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:27.040 nation for the second time. No other nation ever has. That's just foundational to 128 00:11:27.040 --> 00:11:30.120 where we're going. That's for any skeptics in the house that think we're making 129 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:36.920 stuff up. It's incredible. Why is that important? Because right now on the screen, 130 00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:40.960 you can look at the Iranian leaders are calling right now tonight. They're 131 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:45.600 calling for the destruction, the utter destruction of Israel from off the face 132 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:51.120 of the earth. They want Israel eradicated. Think about that. And yet that's 133 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:56.200 throughout the Old Testament scriptures that Israel would be hated. Israel 134 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.880 would be sought after to be destroyed. Well, Israel has been resurrected as a 135 00:12:00.880 --> 00:12:06.040 nation. And the Bible warns us that in the last days, every nation that seeks to 136 00:12:06.040 --> 00:12:13.360 go against Israel will wind up being destroyed. That's an amazing statement. 137 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:17.560 Somebody might say, well, you guys believe you know you Christians, you check your 138 00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:21.240 brains in at the door when you go into church. Well, I don't know what you're 139 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:25.800 doing somewhere else, but that's the opposite here. You want to come in thinking 140 00:12:25.800 --> 00:12:31.520 Bible open and knowing history because God is the author of history and God's 141 00:12:31.520 --> 00:12:35.720 the author of the future. That's why the two coalesce perfectly. Just know this. 142 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.920 Israel exists as a nation, but she's got enemies. So I stated this when I put 143 00:12:40.920 --> 00:12:44.680 that headline up there to tell you, you may not believe Israel is a viable nation 144 00:12:44.680 --> 00:12:53.880 today, but its enemies do. Their opinion matters. Our doesn't. God said, I will do 145 00:12:53.880 --> 00:12:59.520 it and he's done it. Number two, now arriving as this, the rise of international 146 00:12:59.520 --> 00:13:05.000 tensions among the nations. It is heating up on a global scale. You and I living 147 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:10.440 in the West. Now we're predominantly preoccupied with China, Russia, and North 148 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:17.880 Korea. But you're not paying close attention to the brink of war between India and 149 00:13:17.880 --> 00:13:23.600 Pakistan, both of them pointing nuclear weapons at each other. And there's so 150 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:28.080 many other things going on on the globe around us. That's happening right now. 151 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:32.800 That's going on right now. Israel's to be destroyed. That's the wish of their 152 00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:38.360 enemies. And there's global tension among nations right now. And so I want all of 153 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.760 you to be thinking about this and follow through with me. Just hang on. You might 154 00:13:42.760 --> 00:13:47.800 be surprised with my conclusion, but I want you to pay attention. So about a 155 00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:51.760 what? A week, a week and a half ago, there's quite a stir regarding the Chinese 156 00:13:51.760 --> 00:13:56.320 balloon, the big one, that made it across the US. And there's been all kinds 157 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.440 and now there's going to be investigations. And there should be as to what did it 158 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:07.480 gather? We now have most of the parts reassembled. That's great to hear. And 159 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:16.520 the unnerving part is that many of the parts we found out that have been 160 00:14:16.520 --> 00:14:22.560 reassembled. We're made in the United States. And there's English written on 161 00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:30.960 the parts. Not Chinese. So who made the balloon? Did we sell it to them? Did we 162 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.240 ship them the parts? Well, there's an investigation underway, as you well know, 163 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.920 but the fact of the matter is this balloon balloon and everybody had memes and 164 00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:43.840 everybody's making jokes about balloons and every and I get it. I did the same 165 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:54.440 thing. And so, you know, the balloon issue and then something else happened. There 166 00:14:54.440 --> 00:15:01.640 was the manifestation of several other things that were not called balloons. 167 00:15:01.640 --> 00:15:11.480 Instantly, they were not called balloons. They were called something cylindrical. One 168 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:24.080 thing was called was octagonal. One was viewed by some or reported by some to be 169 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:32.760 somewhat rectangular type shape. But no mention to them being tied to a balloon, 170 00:15:32.760 --> 00:15:37.680 which is interesting. You didn't hear that, did you? You didn't hear a second 171 00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:44.120 balloon. And then there's these things. And we heard comments like, well, we're 172 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:53.560 not sure what they are. And then you started to hear those three letters, UFO, 173 00:15:53.560 --> 00:16:04.760 UFO, UFO. It's amazing to me how we go from a balloon to almost UFO panic. And now 174 00:16:04.760 --> 00:16:08.960 out of the woodwork, people are reporting UFOs all around the world. Well, listen, 175 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:13.760 this is going to increase. And how are you going to be affected by it? There's 176 00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:21.600 going to be greater things that are displayed with greater detail. For example, there 177 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:30.120 are naval personnel of great rank mind you. One of them is an Ed Merle who said that once 178 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:37.280 after that object descended into the ocean, that they were able to track it because they 179 00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:41.840 were doing maneuvers up the coast of San Diego and they had submarines. And they tracked 180 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:48.040 that device that went down into the water at speeds of over 500 miles an hour underwater. 181 00:16:48.040 --> 00:16:54.240 That's impossible. Well, then it's from some other world. I think it's from some other 182 00:16:54.240 --> 00:17:02.480 world, right? But not the world you're thinking of. I believe that we are now starting to 183 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:11.960 see on a more acceptable level. We are certainly being primed like a pump to start talking 184 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:22.040 from balloon in four days we went from balloon to UFO. In fact, there are military personnel 185 00:17:22.040 --> 00:17:30.280 tonight stating. In fact, a couple of them are in trouble with their Pentagon peers because 186 00:17:30.280 --> 00:17:38.000 they said we may be looking at extraterrestrial activity. And they've been scolded for that. 187 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:45.240 I would only add this. It's extraterrestrial, all right. It's demonic. This is Satanic 188 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:52.840 deception. Abel to manifest itself enough to be so deceptive that the Bible says in the 189 00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:58.280 last days don't be deceived. What were you thinking about deception that would be easy? 190 00:17:58.280 --> 00:18:04.440 No, how about a deception that Jesus warned it is going to be so deceiving that if it were 191 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:11.880 possible, even my very elect would be deceived. Do demons or do fallen angels have the ability 192 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:20.360 to appear materialistically? Can they take form? The Bible is very clear about that. I submit 193 00:18:20.360 --> 00:18:27.320 you tonight that something has happened in recent time that has opened a door as it were of 194 00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:34.360 demonic activity that is now upon planet earth. It may have always been here, but now there's 195 00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:40.360 something going on. You need to be very, very careful to understand that the deception 196 00:18:40.360 --> 00:18:46.840 warned about in the Bible certainly takes all this stuff into consideration because Jesus said 197 00:18:46.840 --> 00:18:57.720 there's going to be deceiving signs and wonders in the heavens. In the air above our head and beyond. 198 00:18:58.760 --> 00:19:03.400 I just love the fact that the Bible anticipates everything the world's going to throw at us. It's 199 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.160 just are we going to discipline our minds to thank Biblically. 200 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:16.360 This Jack Hibbs Podcast as well as all the broadcast outreach opportunities are 201 00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:20.840 listener supported.
