Caption transcript for “Showdown with Iran” with Dr. Hormoz Shariat

• 00:08 ♪♪♪ Joshua Colson: Hey everybody, I'm Joshua.
• 00:10 Caleb Colson: And I'm Caleb.
• 00:11 Joshua: And we are brothers.
• 00:13 Caleb: Bearded Bible brothers.
• 00:15 You know, guys back on June 12th through the 24th of 2025, Iran
• 00:20 and Israel went to war.
• 00:22 It was called the 12-Day War.
• 00:24 In fact, Iran had already declared war on Israel, but
• 00:27 Israel had to preemptively strike in a way to silence Iran
• 00:31 before they took their nuclear missiles into action, and they
• 00:35 had to take out the nuclear missile program.
• 00:38 So Israel sent Mossad agents on the ground into Iran to take out
• 00:43 their program, to take out generals.
• 00:45 They led their air force to take out these missile silos and also
• 00:51 these airstrips in which Iran could retaliate against Israel.
• 00:55 And so after 12 days of fighting, of Iran firing these
• 01:01 supersonic missiles, Josh, into Israel, targeting
• 01:05 civilian locations.
• 01:07 We're talking about a hospital in Beersheba or apartment
• 01:10 complex in Tel Aviv.
• 01:12 It was time for America, Israel's ally, to step in and
• 01:16 we did.
• 01:18 And President Trump sent B-2 stealth bombers to take out
• 01:22 these hidden missile facilities in Iran that needed these bunker
• 01:26 bustle missiles and that essentially ended in a temporary
• 01:31 ceasefire, if you will.
• 01:32 Joshua: And here we are in the middle of this temporary
• 01:34 ceasefire and yet again there are rumblings that Iran is
• 01:38 mounting again for another attack.
• 01:40 Here is a country whose people are destitute, who are hungry,
• 01:43 who are starving, who are on the verge of revolt against their
• 01:45 leadership because the sole focus of this leadership is the
• 01:48 annihilation of the Israeli people, and yet they're
• 01:52 attempting to try again.
• 01:53 Now we have sought out the intelligence of one of the chief
• 01:56 intelligent people about Iran, Dr. Hormoz Shariat, who is the
• 02:00 pinnacle of the understanding of this.
• 02:02 He's been referred to as the Billy Graham of the
• 02:04 Iranian people.
• 02:06 And so let's hear what he has to say now about what's next
• 02:08 in Iran.
• 02:11 Caleb: Thanks for joining us.
• 02:12 Hormoz Shariat: Good to see you, Caleb and Josh, wonderful.
• 02:15 Last time we were together, never forget, I was telling my
• 02:18 friend, I met these two guys full of the Holy Spirit, and we
• 02:22 talked and from two different nations.
• 02:24 Caleb: That's right, it's such a blessing because we're here on
• 02:26 your set, your amazing studio, and it's such an honor to speak
• 02:30 with you because you are, I always like to bring this up,
• 02:33 the Billy Graham of Iran.
• 02:34 Hormoz: I don't say, I don't, I don't call myself Billy Graham
• 02:38 of Iran.
• 02:39 Many have come to Christ through our ministry, through me, but it
• 02:43 was Joel Rosenberg who called me--
• 02:46 Joshua: I mean if Joel Rosenberg said it, I mean, come on.
• 02:50 Your humility, I think that's one of the things
• 02:51 that stands out.
• 02:52 Like, you have such a servant's heart.
• 02:54 But there's so much wisdom and there's so much power and
• 02:55 authority that you're getting that from the Father as opposed
• 02:58 to it from yourself.
• 03:00 Too many people are blown up with their own hubris nowadays.
• 03:02 It's all about themselves, especially if success
• 03:05 follows it.
• 03:06 But it's very clear that you understand that it all comes
• 03:08 from God and I love that about you.
• 03:10 Hormoz: All by his grace--when you know that I was a shy
• 03:15 introvert engineer nerd and then you know--
• 03:19 Joshua: You just described me perfectly.
• 03:21 Nobody believes that on the show.
• 03:22 Hormoz: That's good.
• 03:24 No, then everything is by grace of God, really, we don't have
• 03:27 anything until--unless he has given us, yeah.
• 03:29 Caleb: Yes, and I know you have a heart for the Persian people
• 03:33 in Iran, and we're Jewish, you know.
• 03:35 Hormoz: I have a heart for Jews too.
• 03:39 Caleb: We have a heart for all people to come to the faith, and
• 03:42 I know, you know, the news media or at least what we read about
• 03:46 the government in Iran may look like they are opposed to Jewish
• 03:50 people or Israel, but is that truly the case for the actual
• 03:53 Persian people?
• 03:55 Do they really hate the Jews?
• 03:56 Hormoz: Not the common people.
• 03:58 The government of Iran, they hate the Jews and they say hate,
• 04:03 death to Israel, and they say we will wipe Israel off the map.
• 04:08 The Iranian-Muslim leaders have said that and but the people of
• 04:13 Iran, no.
• 04:15 Actually increasingly, they are loving the Jews even more.
• 04:20 So the numbers are growing.
• 04:22 They're saying, many of them, they're saying why should we
• 04:26 hate them?
• 04:27 Tell us, give us a reason.
• 04:29 They have not done anything to us.
• 04:31 It's you, the government officials, you're the ones who
• 04:34 have ruined our lives.
• 04:36 You are our enemies.
• 04:37 Actually there's a slogan.
• 04:38 Yeah, it rhymes in Farsi but not in English.
• 04:43 The comment says, "They lie to us that the enemy is them.
• 04:47 The enemy is here and it's you."
• 04:50 I thought that's--
• 04:51 Joshua: That's, I think the first, the
• 04:53 first person of notoriety I heard say that was you last time
• 04:55 we were in an interview, and, my doctor is actually, she's from
• 04:58 Iran, and I was talking with her about a month ago about this,
• 05:03 and she just went off for like 20 minutes about "This is
• 05:06 the most ridiculous thing ever.
• 05:08 Persians love the Jewish people and they--" she's on and on and
• 05:09 on and so you realize, wow, the whole world's been fed
• 05:12 propaganda and it's all because of a few evil people who took
• 05:17 over in charge, who don't even belong there.
• 05:19 But they don't represent the view of the people.
• 05:21 And so I think in the moment like this one of the reasons we
• 05:23 wanted to talk to you is to really get an idea of what are
• 05:26 the people of Iran feeling, praying for, asking for in
• 05:29 moments like this?
• 05:31 Because you look at the news media and they're pointing
• 05:33 the finger at everybody.
• 05:34 This is the bad guy, this is the bad guy, this is what you feel
• 05:36 this--none of it's accurate and that's a big thing right now
• 05:40 because we're all God's children, right?
• 05:43 Whether you're from Iran, whether you're from America or
• 05:45 from Israel, but what are the, what are the Iranian people
• 05:48 wanting right now from what just happened with this 12-Day War,
• 05:52 for what happens next?
• 05:54 Hormoz: Let me give you a little background.
• 05:57 When Israel attacked Hamas and then Lebanon, people of Iran
• 06:04 were rejoicing.
• 06:06 They were on the streets celebrating, okay.
• 06:11 Because the government of Iran is supporting them, anything the
• 06:13 government of Iran is for, they're against, and they're
• 06:17 saying all these years, billions of dollars you have given to
• 06:20 these people and we are living a miserable life.
• 06:24 So, when that happened, people of Iran are saying, started
• 06:29 saying hey maybe, maybe you could do the same thing to us.
• 06:34 Hey, Netanyahu, we have a, we got an idea.
• 06:38 We got an offer.
• 06:39 Would you do to Iranian leaders what you did to Lebanese--the
• 06:46 Hezbollah leaders?
• 06:47 You pinpoint laser accuracy, you kill them.
• 06:51 Would you do that to our leaders?
• 06:53 So they have been asking Israel, Netanyahu, the last year, would
• 07:00 you do that?
• 07:01 So when the war started they celebrated, of course, they
• 07:04 don't know they thought that the war is gonna be clean, the
• 07:07 government will fall.
• 07:08 Now the government, the war is not clean, they're suffering
• 07:12 in it.
• 07:13 And the government hasn't fallen.
• 07:15 So the people of Iran right now as we speak, they're just
• 07:19 confused, hopeless, and they're asking Netanyahu, why didn't you
• 07:23 finish the job?
• 07:24 When they say finish the job, they mean kill the
• 07:27 supreme leader.
• 07:28 Joshua: But it's interesting you say that because one of the
• 07:30 propagantic things you're hearing from the liberal media
• 07:32 is that Iran doesn't want this, right?
• 07:35 That poor Iran, they don't want, they don't want their leaders
• 07:37 taken out.
• 07:39 They don't want this attack happening.
• 07:40 And yet it's exactly the opposite where you say the
• 07:41 people are saying, why haven't you finished the job?
• 07:44 You know, everybody, nobody wants war.
• 07:45 Let's just start off by saying that nobody wants war for the
• 07:47 sake of war.
• 07:48 What we want is the liberation and the freedom of
• 07:51 people, right?
• 07:52 We want free of tyranny, but in these moments when you have a
• 07:55 tyrannical leader in play and it's proven that over 50 years
• 07:58 nothing's gonna happen unless you take them out, the people
• 08:00 are crying for them to be taken out and for them to ask that of
• 08:03 both Israel and America, I think it should make us wake up as
• 08:06 countries is to say, well, what are we doing if we're
• 08:09 considering ourselves, you know, an ally to Israel and we're
• 08:12 seeking freedom if we're not finishing the job, right?
• 08:15 Hormoz: The people of Iran are, they look at the regime and they
• 08:20 said you are our masters, you're oppressors.
• 08:24 We want you to be gone.
• 08:26 It's--we hope somebody will come and liberate us because they
• 08:30 cannot do it, you know, they came on the streets several
• 08:32 times, and every time thousands of them were killed.
• 08:36 So, they're desperate.
• 08:38 They won't come on the street.
• 08:40 You saw even with the war they didn't dare to come and do
• 08:44 protest because they know the regime have no problem killing
• 08:49 tens of thousands of them if they come on the streets.
• 08:51 So, but the people are hopeful that maybe USA or Israel will
• 08:58 come and liberate them there.
• 09:01 We need a savior and my message on the on the channel is this,
• 09:04 hey, no man is your savior.
• 09:06 Don't trust--Trump is not for you.
• 09:09 Trump is for the for America and also Netanyahu.
• 09:15 So don't think the priority is you.
• 09:18 No, they will do what's good for their own country, but they're
• 09:21 not your savior and, but there's one savior I can--I can assure
• 09:27 you he will save your soul.
• 09:28 He will save your family, save the country, and he has a
• 09:32 promise that he will set his throne in Iran in Jeremiah
• 09:35 49:38, so you know that this guy who only saves you, but he's
• 09:39 gonna make his promise and you're gonna be free and you're
• 09:43 gonna be, you're gonna be prosperous.
• 09:46 You're gonna be saved and he was set his throne in Iran.
• 09:50 Caleb: I know a lot of people have been using that scripture
• 09:53 in Jeremiah saying, oh, the bow of Elam is broken.
• 09:55 They broke the missile launchers, but yet the
• 09:58 government's still in power, isn't it?
• 10:00 And I remember I was heartbroken when I heard the news went out
• 10:03 that Israel had the opportunity to assassinate the Ayatollah,
• 10:08 but Trump said, no, don't do that, that's off the books, and
• 10:13 it's not that we want the death of anybody.
• 10:15 We want all people to come to faith, but you're talking about
• 10:19 someone, you know, in the mind of I think of like Hitler or
• 10:23 Stalin, these people that would kill their own people, those
• 10:26 people have to be removed.
• 10:28 I mean, is there gonna be peace now?
• 10:30 Because America, they're like, oh, it's peace, you know, Trump
• 10:32 brought peace.
• 10:34 And we love what Trump did by helping Israel bomb those
• 10:37 nuclear facilities, but I don't see peace until that
• 10:40 government's removed.
• 10:41 Hormoz: That's right, and referring to Jeremiah 49.
• 10:45 What's happening is exactly that.
• 10:47 He said 49, Jeremiah 49, verse 34, he says, exactly, I will
• 10:53 break the bow of Iran and the base of its power.
• 10:57 So it's happening.
• 10:59 Caleb: So it is happening.
• 11:00 Hormoz: And then you see suffering.
• 11:03 A lot of people die and then he says after that, then he says I
• 11:09 will remove the king and prince and the leaders.
• 11:13 So it comes after that suffering.
• 11:15 So we are in that--
• 11:17 Joshua: So you're seeing it as tiers?
• 11:18 Hormoz: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:19 Joshua: Step one, do this, step two, okay.
• 11:21 Hormoz: So if we go with that, then we can predict.
• 11:23 I tell our audience one sentence.
• 11:25 I tell, if you wanna know what happened, read the news.
• 11:28 If you wanna know what will happen, read your Bible, so.
• 11:33 Joshua: I love that.
• 11:34 Hormoz: So, if you follow that, then we, the base of power
• 11:37 is broken.
• 11:38 Now there gonna be a period of suffering, I think.
• 11:42 I believe, as you can see, with or without government the people
• 11:46 of Iran will go through a suffering, a period of
• 11:49 suffering, but then he says, I will remove king and the tsar or
• 11:53 the leaders.
• 11:54 Then he says, I will set my throne.
• 11:56 Then he says I will return the captives or I will return the
• 12:00 fortunes of Iran.
• 12:01 Caleb: Well we just got back from Syria and we saw a very
• 12:04 interesting perspective of a country that's been closed.
• 12:07 For so many decades where people didn't even have a baseline
• 12:11 frame of reference for Christianity or who Jesus was,
• 12:14 there's Christians there, but they weren't active.
• 12:17 They were in--you know, self inclusive and they didn't go out
• 12:21 like you said.
• 12:22 They didn't have the confidence because persecution would come
• 12:25 obviously, if they would come out and preach the gospel.
• 12:28 And while we were there, I felt the Holy Spirit telling us that
• 12:31 this is all about to change in the Middle East because we
• 12:35 remember speaking with you and you said Christianity is the
• 12:38 fastest growing religion in Iran.
• 12:40 Well, what about Syria?
• 12:41 What about Jordan?
• 12:43 What about Egypt?
• 12:44 What about Saudi Arabia?
• 12:45 I feel God's about to move in the Middle East and the harvest
• 12:50 is there but the laborers are few in that respect.
• 12:53 What do you have to say to people?
• 12:55 How do you rally them to that cause?
• 12:58 Hormoz: Well, what's happening in Iran, first of all, it's
• 13:01 gonna impact the whole Middle East and the world.
• 13:04 It will, it's not my wish, it's the Lord's wish, because when he
• 13:09 says I will set my throne in Elam, what does that mean?
• 13:13 Is he gonna, is--doesn't he love the whole world?
• 13:16 Is he gonna be satisfied?
• 13:17 Oh, these, Persian, these Iranians, oh, they've come
• 13:20 to Christ.
• 13:21 I'm very happy.
• 13:22 No, Iran will be a sending nation.
• 13:24 If he's Lord, he will send people, so Iran will impact the
• 13:29 Middle East and already have started, did you know that?
• 13:33 We're talking about the healthy church, Iranian underground
• 13:37 church without us really pushing, they're growing this
• 13:41 hunger to share the gospel with other nations.
• 13:45 Our members, they, one of the things they ask me all the time,
• 13:50 "Pastors Hormoz, I love the Jews.
• 13:52 I feel God has called me to share the gospel with the Jews.
• 13:56 What should I do?
• 13:57 I'm praying.
• 13:58 Could you tell me?
• 14:00 I have that burden."
• 14:01 Caleb: Persian missionaries to the Jewish people?
• 14:03 Hormoz: Jews, that's right, that's right.
• 14:04 And Arabs, Iranians right now, they hate Arabs because they
• 14:09 think Arabs invaded, destroyed their country, pushed Islamic
• 14:13 religion on them.
• 14:14 And even then some of the Iranian believers says, "I have
• 14:17 a heart.
• 14:19 I have a love for Arabs.
• 14:20 What should I do?
• 14:21 I should go."
• 14:23 This is God and preparing Iranians to be sent out.
• 14:27 By the way, there are some Iranians living outside Iran
• 14:30 because you inside Iran, you cannot go to Jerusalem.
• 14:33 There's some Iranians outside Iran that they go to Israel when
• 14:38 the things were more quiet.
• 14:40 They used to go there once a year just to share the gospel,
• 14:45 just to pray, prayer walk and share the gospel.
• 14:48 I asked one of them, "So you're going there, what do you tell
• 14:51 the Jews when you meet them on the street?"
• 14:54 He said, "That's easy."
• 14:55 And I said, "What do you say?"
• 14:57 He said, "I tell them my story," because he said when he was
• 15:01 younger in Iran, he signed up for the military force whose
• 15:06 mission was to kill the Jews.
• 15:08 He said, "I hated Jews so much.
• 15:10 I intentionally said I want to sign up for that group, so I was
• 15:14 trained to kill the Jews, but now," and then he shared the
• 15:21 rest of the story.
• 15:23 He said, "And a couple years ago," this is like last year, so
• 15:26 it's like three, four, years ago this happened to him.
• 15:29 He said, "I had a a stroke.
• 15:32 I had a stroke.
• 15:33 They took me to the hospital and I was in recovery.
• 15:36 I was there for 40 days.
• 15:39 And they were preparing to bury me.
• 15:41 They said there's no hope."
• 15:43 He doesn't--in the ICU.
• 15:45 There's no way he can come back.
• 15:47 "And they had arranged for my funeral.
• 15:50 And suddenly I got woke up and I said, bring me, bring me a
• 15:56 pastor and bring me a Bible.
• 15:57 Said, what? You're a Muslim?
• 16:00 I said when I was in coma, I saw Jesus."
• 16:04 He said, "I saw a dream.
• 16:06 I was in a hall full of the Iranian leaders.
• 16:10 They were all that I know them and I followed them.
• 16:12 I obeyed them.
• 16:14 They were all sitting around.
• 16:15 All the leaders were there and I looked at them and they were
• 16:19 crying, crying, crying.
• 16:21 So why are you crying?
• 16:23 They said, we were wrong.
• 16:25 We were wrong.
• 16:27 I said, so who is right?
• 16:29 And they all pointed to this guy said, He is right."
• 16:32 He said, "I looked up and I saw Jesus on the throne," in
• 16:35 his dream.
• 16:36 "And I looked at Jesus, and Jesus looked at me, and then he
• 16:40 did like this.
• 16:41 I flew to front of Jesus and Jesus says, I will send you
• 16:46 back, but I want you to love the Jews and share the gospel with
• 16:50 the Jews."
• 16:51 So he wakes up, he says, "I'm ready, call me, give me a Bible.
• 16:55 Call the pastor."
• 16:56 And he's the one who was--one of the people who goes
• 16:59 to Jerusalem.
• 17:01 So I ask him, I asked this guy, "So when you go, what do
• 17:03 you say?"
• 17:05 He say, "I tell him, hey, I was your enemy.
• 17:07 I signed up to kill you, but now I love you and I am
• 17:10 your friend."
• 17:12 And he said, "And then I'm tell him I will tell him, hey, it's
• 17:15 good that you have all these missiles, but don't trust these
• 17:17 missiles to save you, okay?
• 17:20 They cannot save you.
• 17:21 There's one Savior.
• 17:23 None of these missiles can change an enemy like me to be
• 17:26 your friend, but Jesus can.
• 17:28 So it's safest route for you is to follow Jesus because he will
• 17:34 turn your enemies into your friends."
• 17:37 He said, "That's my message."

• 18:14 Caleb: We were in Israel on October 7th, a very historic and
• 18:17 tragic day.
• 18:19 We were in Jerusalem and sirens went off throughout that day and
• 18:21 we were ushered into bomb shelters.
• 18:24 Also during the whole week and it just so happened we had a
• 18:27 chance to meet up with our good friend Avi Lipkin, who has been
• 18:30 a contributor with Zola Levitt Ministries for like 30 years.
• 18:34 He was a longtime friend of Zola.

• 19:24 ever since October 7th.
• 19:26 It's sort of been this trigger point, where people are like,
• 19:29 is this the end?
• 19:30 Is prophecy accelerating?
• 19:32 And supernaturally, yes, God has preserved his people, Israel.
• 19:36 All these nations surrounding to attack her--Hezbollah down,
• 19:39 Syria crippled.
• 19:41 Now Iran is in the news because Israel has attacked Iran, has
• 19:46 been taking out their nuclear installations.
• 19:48 Iran is a key player in the war of Gog and Magog, spoken about
• 19:53 in Ezekiel 38 and 39.
• 19:55 I also believe that Russia is involved.
• 19:57 Turkey is a major player.
• 19:59 What do you see with this conclusion with Iran crippled?
• 20:03 Is there still this war on the horizon?
• 20:05 Avi: I think that the problem of Iran is going to be terminated
• 20:10 very soon.
• 20:11 Yeah.
• 20:13 I think Iran will return to the family of the nations.
• 20:18 The Iranian people are good people and because the 50 years
• 20:21 of Ayatollah Khomeini, and Khamenei and all that, you
• 20:25 cannot erase 3500 years of friendship between the Iranian
• 20:30 people and the Jews and Israel.
• 20:33 I think that Cyrus is described in the Bible as the Messiah.
• 20:39 He's the Mashiach because he helped the Jews to go home and
• 20:41 build the temple.
• 20:43 I've been in Iran. I love the Iranians.
• 20:45 In Israel we have many, many Iranian Jews.
• 20:47 I love them all very much.
• 20:49 So I think that this is another breakthrough for the human
• 20:56 race--that Iran's nuclear program is going
• 21:00 to be decapitated.
• 21:03 I also think if, you know Trump, President Trump is saying we'll
• 21:07 still give them another chance in the negotiations.
• 21:10 He knows it's not gonna happen.
• 21:12 So the next stage will be taking out the oil facilities, even
• 21:15 though he doesn't want to take out the oil facilities.
• 21:18 When you take out the oil facilities, there will be no
• 21:21 water in Iran.
• 21:23 There will be no gasoline in Iran.
• 21:25 No electricity in Iran.
• 21:27 And the people finally are gonna rise up and say enough
• 21:29 is enough.
• 21:31 And many Iranians are very close to the broadcast of the Israelis
• 21:35 because they know that we're telling the truth and they know
• 21:39 that we love the Iranians.
• 21:41 So I think what we're going to see here if you're thinking
• 21:44 about President Trump having his face on Mount Rushmore, I think
• 21:47 President Trump should have better than that.
• 21:49 He should have a whole mountain to himself because we're going
• 21:52 to neutralize the evil of the Iranian regime.
• 21:56 And turn Iran into a very, very pro-Western country again as it
• 22:00 was under the Shah.
• 22:02 I know many people say, well, he's a dictator and he was bad
• 22:05 in many ways, but I think at this stage we're going to see
• 22:09 Iran going into a modern era.
• 22:13 I don't know what kind of system they will have.
• 22:15 I think it'll be constitutional monarchy if the son of the Shah
• 22:20 goes back to Iran.
• 22:22 So this is like, you know, a check, you know, praise God,
• 22:27 Iran is returned to the nations.
• 22:29 I believe that what's going to happen is there will be a major
• 22:33 war between Israel and Turkey.
• 22:37 And my ninth book is called, it's not finished yet.
• 22:41 I'm in the middle of it now.
• 22:42 I mean, I came here all of a sudden really spontaneously.
• 22:45 I came to the States, but there's a battle which nobody
• 22:49 has ever heard of, very important sea battle
• 22:52 called Lepanto.
• 22:53 Lepanto is in the Mediterranean Sea, and it is a Greek area, and
• 23:00 the Turkish navy, it was in April 1571.
• 23:06 The Catholic navies of Spain, Venice, and Genoa completely
• 23:11 sank the whole Turkish fleet, but the Turks were on the
• 23:15 ascendancy in Europe.
• 23:17 You know, they were up to Vienna, up to Moscow, up
• 23:20 to Warsaw.
• 23:22 My great great grandfather, whoever, you know, going back to
• 23:24 the 1600s, built the walls of Warsaw for the king of Poland.
• 23:28 He was knighted by the king of Poland for building the walls of
• 23:31 Warsaw, was given the name Kamian.
• 23:33 Kamian in Slavic means stone.
• 23:36 But in 1571, the Catholics defeated the Turks.
• 23:40 Now why don't you know about this in American schools?
• 23:42 What did you hear about?
• 23:43 The Battle of the Spanish Armada.
• 23:45 Because the Protestants whipped the Catholics in 1588.
• 23:49 But this battle was a victory of the Catholics over the Muslims
• 23:53 in 1571.
• 23:55 So my ninth book is called "Leponto Two."
• 24:00 And that's how the Turkish fleet will be sunk by the
• 24:03 Israeli fleet.
• 24:05 But that's gonna spark an Armageddon war, because you have
• 24:08 200 million Turkic Muslims who are part of the Soviet Union,
• 24:12 and now there's Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, a good
• 24:16 people, but they're Turks.
• 24:18 And they are entitled to Turkish citizenship.
• 24:21 Why doesn't Turkey become a member of the European Union?
• 24:24 Because the moment the Turks come in, it's 100 million Turks,
• 24:28 200 million Turkic Muslims of the former Soviet, that's 300
• 24:31 million plus the 50 million who are already in Europe, that's
• 24:35 350 million, and the Christians, I mean, Europeans are not
• 24:39 Christians anymore, they're just not Muslims.
• 24:42 The non-Muslim population is 300 million and the Muslim
• 24:46 population will be 350 million and Europe becomes a
• 24:50 Muslim continent.
• 24:52 That's why the European-Christians don't want
• 24:54 the Turks in, but the Turks, they want to go back from
• 24:58 Morocco to China, from the Balkans, all the way down to
• 25:03 Mecca to have their caliphate.
• 25:06 So I'm watching all this, but if the Israelis sink the whole
• 25:11 Turkish fleet, it's just the beginning of a major war.
• 25:15 And so my book is going to describe the Turkish history,
• 25:18 why the Turks think so much about a thousand years of
• 25:22 history, going back to the Ottoman Empire.
• 25:26 Caleb: Wow, that's a big deal because, you know, that is a--
• 25:31 you see those parallels in Ezekiel 38 and 39, and even the
• 25:34 description of them being, you know, these territories, Gog is
• 25:39 pulled with a hook in his jaw down to go Israel.
• 25:42 All these Turkish Muslims that you said are still around in the
• 25:46 'Stans like you mentioned.
• 25:47 They're in Europe, they're everywhere.
• 25:49 There's gonna be a reason for them all to unite together and
• 25:52 it's not an accident that then Iran is part of it, Persia is
• 25:56 part of it.
• 25:57 Put, Kush, all these areas where they used to hold dominion.
• 26:01 Joshua: Enemy is ramping up.
• 26:03 So much evil right now at unparalleled speeds today.
• 26:07 We have to stand for truth.
• 26:08 We have to unite behind the Jewish people, behind Israel,
• 26:11 and we have to stand for the voice that put us here to begin
• 26:16 with, and that is the Father, and it's paramount.
• 26:20 Caleb: Thank you for joining us again, Avi.
• 26:21 Your insights are amazing and I believe it's gonna give people a
• 26:24 lot to think about.
• 26:26 Avi: Amen.
• 26:27 Caleb: Students of Bible prophecy know according to
• 26:30 Ezekiel 38 and 39 that Iran is going to be a thorn in Israel's
• 26:34 side again in the future.
• 26:36 It unites the coalition, Josh, of all these other enemy nations
• 26:40 against Israel coming in on foot and God has to deliver
• 26:43 his people.
• 26:44 That's the war of Gog and Magog.
• 26:46 But now is not that time yet.
• 26:48 Hormoz talked about this Jeremiah 49 moment in which God
• 26:53 will set up his throne in Elam, and we don't really know what
• 26:56 that entails, but it will happen in the future where Iran, Persia
• 27:01 will be friendly to the nation of Israel, but right now those
• 27:04 mullahs that are in charge want to destroy the Jewish people.
• 27:08 And so it's incumbent on each of us to pray on behalf of the
• 27:13 Jewish state to support the Israeli people and most
• 27:16 importantly to bring them the gospel of Yeshua because that's
• 27:19 the only way that their eternity is secure, knowing that they
• 27:23 will be with the Father in heaven.
• 27:25 Joshua: For over 45 years now, Zola Levitt Ministries has been
• 27:28 bringing the truth of God's Word from the Jewish perspective,
• 27:32 explaining the Bible, its history, and who Yeshua was, but
• 27:35 also looking forward to the future, looking at the current
• 27:38 events and how they take place in the prophetic timeline.
• 27:42 Now is the time to join together with this ministry, to join
• 27:45 together financially, spiritually in prayer, and to
• 27:48 support the efforts to defend Israel in her greatest time of
• 27:52 need and what's ahead in this time in history.
• 27:54 So don't forget, Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim.
• 27:58 Caleb: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
