God's word has to say to you here is Jack Hibbs. Friends Bible prophecy matters and

13
00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:14.880
Jesus said I hold you accountable to know that day and you didn't know it so now

14
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:19.040
your peace is taken from you so when God's word says what it says we want to

15
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.480
pay close attention to it and God gives us these things that we might be people

16
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:31.360
who are at peace and that we know what's coming we have to worry and bite our

17
00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:35.680
nails like the rest of the world especially in times like these God wants to

18
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.400
communicate to you is truth and you need to make a decision of what you're

19
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:45.240
gonna listen to I hope you look at it this way if any of you have been in war

20
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:50.040
combat what the first things that you do is you get intel intelligence on your

21
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:54.600
enemy or for the mission and you know what the first thing is the first thing

22
00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:59.160
it is that you do you figure out how do you take out their communications I don't

23
00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:02.760
care how big the army is I don't care how big the nation is you want to you want

24
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.160
to mess up take out communications by the way we're really good at that as a as a

25
00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:12.120
nation as a war machine is that we usually go in a few days in advance and we

26
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:17.520
always take out their communication systems do it by stealth nowadays you

27
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.680
don't even need stealth United States and Israel both are pretty famous for

28
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.560
just going going into a computer and sending information that completely

29
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.560
disconnects the communications of the enemy when communications is not clear

30
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:37.480
people get confused okay and that's what's listen that's what happens in war in

31
00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:44.920
you and I right here all right war it's not for any territory it's not for any

32
00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:51.960
booty or any loot or any glory it's for souls that's what we're living for

33
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.120
you and I's believers we're living for the souls of men and women and boys and

34
00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:02.320
girls you see that's creepy not creepy at all listen we are Jesus's ambassadors

35
00:03:02.320 --> 00:03:06.240
is the Bible we're deployed all around the world as believers in the fact of

36
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.440
the matter is this we're trying to share the gospel with people we're trying to

37
00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:13.920
communicate the truth and the enemy wants to mess that up constantly with false

38
00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:20.320
teaching false prophets false faith and to confuse someone's ability to come

39
00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:24.160
to the knowledge of Christ that Jesus is the way the truth in the life the

40
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:28.920
enemy hates that Jesus died on the cross for a sins to set us free the enemy

41
00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:38.080
hates that that's why he floods you with allurements and lust and pride and

42
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.880
desire it's those are not cute things are things that you can hold in your breast

43
00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:48.160
for a moment and not be burned they are demonically driven by a world of

44
00:03:48.160 --> 00:03:52.800
darkness invisible to our eyes that want to seek your soul and pull you into the

45
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:58.600
pit why is that important that's how much Satan hates you and God you're the

46
00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:04.840
prize and thus Bible prophecy makes it's claims to us and it's awesome and

47
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.840
comforting don't need to belabor it last time together we argue this that

48
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.320
regarding what we know for sure is that the world now is being turned to all

49
00:04:13.320 --> 00:04:19.520
eyes on God people are waking up around the world at this time to consider God

50
00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:24.520
people are tuning in people are reading their Bibles the biggest download of

51
00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:28.840

54
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.320
delivered this opportunity at an age like this where technology can be used

55
00:04:45.320 --> 00:04:50.080
we're living in a miracle right now and I don't want you to miss the day of

56
00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:56.160
your visitation this is an epic moment you want to get on board you want to

57
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.360

59
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.720
I don't care just don't do it without me don't you want that want to be

60
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.800
bummer of God said well I would love to have used you but you didn't recognize

61
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.160
the day of your visitation so I went down the street oh my goodness I break my

62
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:21.960
heart and then we saw last time this did not go over big I could tell by the

63
00:05:21.960 --> 00:05:25.560
mail I got in the comments the second thing is what do we know for sure all

64
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:34.760
lies off America oh I'm just kidding started listen you can't you can't insult

65
00:05:34.760 --> 00:05:37.800
the God of heaven in the United States and expect him to hang around he's not a

66
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.160
punching bag you can't throw him out of college you can't throw him out of

67
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.400
core you can't throw him out of school you can't throw God out of the public

68
00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:47.880
square you can't throw God out of the textbooks and then expect him to send

69
00:05:47.880 --> 00:05:53.160
rain or to make our economy work it's not gonna happen he's patient he's been

70
00:05:53.160 --> 00:06:00.640
patient for decades but it is very evident times up the United States of

71
00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:06.360
America listen has been that stalwart friend of Israel in more ways than one

72
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.840
and God blessed us as a nation when we stood for Israel but I want to make this

73
00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:15.040
very clear the prerequisite to blessing according to the Bible God says

74
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:20.680
bless Israel and I'll bless you you say what do you ask me to bless Israel yep I'm

75
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.040
not saying everything Israel does is right God didn't ask us about that I'm not

76
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:30.120
saying I'm not saying just you know just because somebody's Jewish that you're

77
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:36.080
supposed to love on them like that I'm not saying that God makes it very clear

78
00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:40.440
that he says I will bless the nations that bless my people look you're not

79
00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:46.240
you're not sinless isn't it sweet to know that God would say I want I want you to

80
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.000
be a blessing to my friend fill in your name I want you to be a blessing to fill

81
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.960
in your name you say oh that's nice I like that well the same God says be

82
00:06:54.960 --> 00:06:58.040
a blessing to my people is your I've chosen them but God there are difficult

83
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:02.520
people I know that's why I chose them did you know that that's what he says he

84
00:07:02.520 --> 00:07:06.680
says I chose them he said to them book a Deuteronomy said don't think I picked

85
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.040
you because you're better than anybody else he said I picked you because you're

86
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:15.520
stubborn he said I picked you because you are stiff neck people you know what that

87
00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:22.960
means if he can save a Jew he can save a Jew right it's true I love the Jewish

88
00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:27.600
people they're fantastic if if you ever get in the conversation with the Jewish

89
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:32.320
friends it's amazing because they'll argue with you for an hour and then at the

90
00:07:32.320 --> 00:07:35.200
end they'll say I believed everything you did I just wanted to listen to you

91
00:07:35.200 --> 00:07:41.800
argue your point they never stop and God says those are the ones that I'm

92
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:48.360
gonna pick they're my chosen people they drive everybody else up the wall they

93
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:53.880
will be instruments of my grace and my mercy and God picked them and you can't

94
00:07:53.880 --> 00:08:00.320
say anything about it I don't like it too bad he didn't ask you by the way

95
00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:03.840
there's a reason why the Jews are the most hated people on the planet because

96
00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:10.600
of God he picked them I think Satan hates them think about it God has promised

97
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:14.720
and never lasting covenant with the Jewish people he has to keep it he thinks

98
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.520
look Satan can read the Bible if he can break that if he can mess that up

99
00:08:18.520 --> 00:08:24.440
then he thwarts the plan of God happily it ain't gonna happen but listen as

100
00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:30.720
as a nation as a nation we need to get back to God and I don't know what's going

101
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:36.000
on in our country don't be fooled nobody else knows either that is both

102
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:43.600
terrifying and maybe great but one of the things is this showed on the screen

103
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:50.040
you guys in the US declined of Christianity continues at a rapid pace that

104
00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:53.320
doesn't bother me don't let that bother you if you read the entire article by

105
00:08:53.320 --> 00:09:00.720
the way it is huge article it goes on to say that rapidly drastically

106
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:06.360
membership from Baptist Southern Baptist Lutheran Methodist Catholic

107
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:13.000
assembly of God God Presbyterian they're all losing people that's not a

108
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.760
bad thing that's not a bad thing because those entities are almost fully

109
00:09:18.760 --> 00:09:22.680
departed from the authoritative word of God they departed from the Bible why

110
00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:28.240
why wouldn't God call us people out God is saying to some churches or to the

111
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:32.640
people in those churches hey come out and be separate from them can you believe

112
00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:40.000
that he does that Jesus said in the book of Revelation come out from among them

113
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:45.000
don't hang out in a false church where Christ is not glorified his word is not

114
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.000
taught and that you're not trained in the things of God that you might go out

115
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:54.360
into the world and make a difference church is not a club it's not to meet any

116
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:59.120
standards that the world sets down as what is acceptable and not acceptable the

117
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:03.800
church is a living breathing entity deposited to us from heaven it was created

118
00:10:03.800 --> 00:10:08.480
by the Holy Spirit it was bought by the blood of Christ it doesn't meet some

119
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:14.680
earthly or governmental requirements it is the church of the living God and now

120
00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:18.400
you can see in our age how the church will be pitted against godless

121
00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:25.540
governments and godless leaders we're rapidly moving toward that even at this

122
00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:32.200
time but it's a very powerful truth the third thing is this is where we pick it

123
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:36.640
up the third thing is all eyes on Israel five times and are reading a moment

124
00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:40.560
ago you read the word Israel that is fascinating friends let me remind you

125
00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:45.920
reading the book of Ezekiel you're looking at a 25 26 hundred year old

126
00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:50.680
prophecy and you read it out loud I heard you say it you said it five times

127
00:10:50.680 --> 00:10:57.680
the name Israel it's been in there since Ezekiel gave it or I should say God

128
00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:02.160
gave it to Ezekiel I'm gonna ask you to put your eyes to the screens in a moment

129
00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:07.120
to watch something but I want to set it up Israel you want to know why it's a

130
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.360
big deal number one nation talked about in the Bible of course it's the only

131
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.000
nation in the Bible only nation in the Bible where God has established with

132
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:21.600
them an ever lasting covenant Israel Israel special it is the only nation in

133
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:25.520
the world where the scripture tells us that listen listen that they will be a

134
00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:29.920
nation and then because of their rebellion against God they will not be a

135
00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:35.820
nation and they'll be thrust into exile because of their disobedience then the

136
00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:40.020
Bible tells us that just before Christ comes back listen just before Christ

137
00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:46.580
comes back he will regather his nation from all the corners of the earth listen

138
00:11:46.580 --> 00:11:52.380
back into their own land that's a funny thing because 2,000 years later these

139
00:11:52.380 --> 00:11:56.300
people walking around the world they don't know that that's their own land they've

140
00:11:56.300 --> 00:12:01.660
never been there before so what God does he sets up the country so the people

141
00:12:01.660 --> 00:12:08.220
can move or you with me nobody's moving right now to Mars because it's not

142
00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:14.020
been set up for you to move to well God sets up Israel first so his people can

143
00:12:14.020 --> 00:12:23.180
move to it and they move to it coming or going home to home they've never been

144
00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:28.860
and they have and they do and they will what's going on and how could this have

145
00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:36.380
ever happened that a nation who was then wasn't becomes again what evidence do

146
00:12:36.380 --> 00:12:43.220
we have that God's word is true on this point put your eyes to the screen how do

147
00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:49.820
you respond to people who excel you in invention creativity and wealth do you

148
00:12:49.820 --> 00:12:56.300
envy them do you feel their success somehow diminishes you or do you admire

149
00:12:56.300 --> 00:13:01.580
what they've achieved and try to emulate it these questions sum up what I

150
00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:09.300
call the Israel test in the 1880s European Jews settled in Mandate Palestine

151
00:13:09.300 --> 00:13:14.740
and brought an agricultural miracle in that desolate territory then

152
00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:20.540
sparsely populated by a few score thousand Jews and a couple hundred thousand

153
00:13:20.540 --> 00:13:28.060
Arabs the Jewish settlers drained malaria swamps leaped salt from the soils

154
00:13:28.060 --> 00:13:34.180
terrorists the barren hills and planted millions of trees they massively

155
00:13:34.180 --> 00:13:39.900
expanded the capacity of the land and enabled it to support a substantial

156
00:13:39.900 --> 00:13:48.460
Arab population in the two decades between 1921 and 1943 Jews quadrupled the

157
00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:53.720
number of enterprises multiplied the number of jobs by a factor of 10 and

158
00:13:53.720 --> 00:14:00.080
increased the level of capital investment a hundredfold far from displacing

159
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:06.080
Arabs they provided the capital for a major expansion of Arab farms and

160
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:14.760
enabled a sevenfold rise in Arab population by 1948 to a level of 1.35 million

161
00:14:14.760 --> 00:14:21.120
the largest in the long history of Palestine in other words the Arabs came to

162
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:29.000
what would soon be the state of Israel because of the Jews by comparison trans

163
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:35.120
Jordan now known as Jordan with the same geological endowment and four times

164
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:43.360
the land but no Jews was able to sustain a population density only one tenth

165
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:50.360
of the population density of Palestine crucial to Israel's accomplishments were

166
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.960
world-leading technological advances in the recovery of water through

167
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:02.720
desalinization drip irrigation and sewage recycling over the past 50 years

168
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:09.900
Israel has increased its population tenfold its agricultural production 16

169
00:15:09.900 --> 00:15:18.200
fold and its industrial production 50fold while actually reducing net water

170
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:25.360
consumption by 10 percent since 1948 this huge expansion of effective water

171
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:33.760
resources enabled the land to support not only more Jews but also millions more

172
00:15:33.760 --> 00:15:38.840
Arabs today the state of Israel with its astonishing achievements and

173
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:44.560
computer science and other high tech fields distills both the genius of the

174
00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:51.480
Jews and the misdirected anger of the failed states that surround the great

175
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:57.320
divide in the Middle East is not between Arab and Jew but between admiration of

176
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:02.960
achievement along with the desire to replicate it and envy accompanied by

177
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:09.400
violent resentment people who admire success who pass the Israel test tend to be

178
00:16:09.400 --> 00:16:14.840
wealthy and peaceful people who reside achievement who fail the Israel test

179
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:21.200
tend to become poorer and violent so again how do you respond to people who

180
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:27.400
excel you in invention creativity and wealth do you envy them do you feel

181
00:16:27.400 --> 00:16:33.880
their success somehow diminishes you or do you admire what they've achieved

182
00:16:33.880 --> 00:16:39.920
and try to emulate it the Israel test is the central divide in the world today

183
00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:46.320
how you answer it as an individual and ultimately how we answer it as a nation

184
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:54.400
as a test of our own will to triumph over enemies who hate us as they hate

185
00:16:54.400 --> 00:17:03.160
Israel for what is best within us I'm George Gilder a non Jew who is

186
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:15.080
past the Israel test all of that presentation secular scientific evidence of a

187
00:17:15.080 --> 00:17:21.960
nation the size of New Jersey being incredibly resourceful now granted

188
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.800
there's tremendous trouble coming to the nation of Israel during the

189
00:17:24.800 --> 00:17:29.080
tribulation period the Bible talks about that too but it's the only nation on

190
00:17:29.080 --> 00:17:32.640
earth that God has a covenantal agreement with and if you doubt that looked

191
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.160
at the screen now this is kind of a quirky looking graphic but it's because

192
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.240
the t-shirt had to be stretched out and that picture taken of it this is a

193
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.760
t-shirt you can buy it says civilization's nations and empires that have tried

194
00:17:44.760 --> 00:17:50.240
to destroy the Jewish people nation ancient Egypt status gone

195
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:58.640

198
00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:23.360
Germany gone Soviet Union gone Iran maybe tomorrow's news Iran you never go

199
00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:27.960
against Israel without going against the God of the Bible you need to know that

200
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:34.000
you go against Israel and you're going to get yourself in trouble how do we

201
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:40.040
know Genesis chapter 12 verse once says now the Lord had said to Abram get out

202
00:18:40.040 --> 00:18:43.680
of your country imagine that he's just living his own life doesn't know

203
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:48.320
nothing about nothing that God speaks to his leave your country leave your

204
00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:54.280

207
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:10.080
and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed all the families of

208
00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:16.320
the earth shall be blessed if we bless Abraham's descendants Bible says that his

209
00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:23.520
descendants are none other than the Hebrew people this is a this is a verse that

210
00:19:23.520 --> 00:19:27.640
the Bible lays out flat doesn't ask you for your opinion it doesn't apologize for

211
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:33.960
it just says it he said I don't believe it that's okay but do some study as to

212
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:45.760
