Caption transcript for Age of Terror Continued: “Truth be Told” with Tommy Ice (10/12)

• 00:28 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 00:30 BACK TO OUR SERIES ON THE AGE OF TERROR, ISLAM AND THE COMING TRIBULATION.
• 00:36 IN SOME WAYS I'M SORRY WE HAD TO MAKE THIS SERIES, IT'S NOT THE HAPPIEST NEWS,
• 00:39 BUT IN THE MINISTRY WE CHRONICLE THE TIMES, WHAT'S GOING ON
• 00:43 AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT SEEMS TO BE WHAT'S GOING ON.
• 00:46 OUR GUEST ON THE PROGRAM LATER WILL BE TOMMY ICE,
• 00:49 ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS, A BRILLIANT THEOLOGIAN.
• 00:51 SO NOW TO LOCATION IN THE HOLY LAND.
• 00:55 WELL, ISRAEL HAS A SPLENDID NEW AIRPORT AND I THOUGHT WE'D FILM HERE BECAUSE,
• 01:00 I DON'T KNOW, IF YOU LIVE TO BE 100 YEARS OLD
• 01:02 YOU PROBABLY WON'T SEE THIS AIRPORT ON CNN
• 01:05 OR ANY OF OUR NETWORKS FOR THAT MATTER.
• 01:07 THEY JUST DON'T SHOW THE THINGS THAT ISRAEL REALLY ACCOMPLISHES.
• 01:12 COMPARE THIS MAGNIFICENT TERMINAL WITH THE DUSTY STREETS
• 01:17 AND THE RIOTING SUCH AS IT IS THAT THEY SHOW ON THE NETWORKS
• 01:21 AND YOU SEE WHAT AN UNBALANCED NEWS COVERAGE THIS COUNTRY GETS.
• 01:25 FRANKLY, I'VE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD AND I'VE NOT SEEN AN AIRPORT THE EQUAL OF THIS.
• 01:30 THIS ONE'S BRAND NEW, OF COURSE, BUT IT'S BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED AND VERY BUSY,
• 01:35 FLIGHTS TO MOST OF THE CAPITALS OF THE WORLD FROM HERE,
• 01:38 NOT THE ARAB CAPITALS, OF COURSE, BUT JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE ELSE.
• 01:43 YOU TRANSFER WHEN YOU FLY TO ARAB CAPITALS AND SO ON.
• 01:47 BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THAT THE PEOPLE HERE HAVE ACCOMPLISHES SO MUCH.
• 01:53 THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT PHYSICAL PLANT.
• 01:55 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COMMENDS A PEOPLE.
• 01:59 THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE ARAB WORLD AND I'VE SEEN SOME OF THEIR AIRPORTS
• 02:02 AND THEY ARE TO BE COMMENDED FOR ACCOMPLISHING THIS.
• 02:08 I HAVE A NEWSLETTER HERE, A COMPUTER PAGE, REALLY,
• 02:12 THE OMEGA LETTER, DAILY INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING,
• 02:16 JUST HAD ISSUE WITH A LOT OF POINTS TO MAKE.
• 02:20 AMERICA'S SECOND PRESIDENT, JOHN ADAMS, SAID OF THE JEWS,
• 02:25 THE JEWS HAVE DONE MORE TO CIVILIZE MEN THAN ANY OTHER NATION.
• 02:30 THEY ARE THE MOST GLORIOUS NATION THAT EVER INHABITED THE EARTH.
• 02:34 THE ROMANS AND THE EMPIRE WERE BUT A BAUBLE IN COMPARISON TO THE JEWS.
• 02:38 THEY HAVE GIVEN RELIGION TO 3/4 OF THE GLOBE
• 02:41 AND HAVE INFLUENCED THE AFFAIRS OF MANKIND MORE
• 02:45 AND MORE HAPPILY THAN ANY OTHER NATION ANCIENT OR MODERN.
• 02:50 ALMOST MUST WANT TO SAY, WELL HE'S OVERDOING IT.
• 02:53 BUT, I THINK HE KNEW A FEW THINGS AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
• 02:56 THE SECOND PRESIDENT AFTER GEORGE WASHINGTON.
• 02:59 ANOTHER STATISTIC FROM 1901-2001 THE WORLD'S 6.5 BILLION PEOPLE
• 03:08 COMPETED FOR THE SCARCE 844 NOBEL PRIZES THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED.
• 03:14 AMONG THOSE 6.5 BILLION ARE NEARLY 1.3 BILLION MUSLIMS,
• 03:19 ROUGHLY 20% OF THE GLOBAL POPULATION.
• 03:22 OF THOSE1.3 BILLION MUSLIMS, 8 HAVE BEEN SINGLED OUT TO RECEIVE THE NOBEL PRIZE,
• 03:31 7 IF YOU CONSIDER THAT 1 OF THEM WAS A POLITICALLY MOTIVATED PEACE PRIZE
• 03:35 GIVEN THE UN-REPENTANT TERRORIST, YASSER ARAFAT.
• 03:39 MUSLIMS ACCOUNT FOR LESS THAN 1% OF THE TOTAL NOBEL PRIZES AWARDED IN THE LAST 100 YEARS.
• 03:46 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 20TH CENTURY, THE NAZIS EXTERMINATED SOME 6 MILLION JEWS,
• 03:52 MORE THAN HALF THE WORLD'S JEWISH POPULATION.
• 03:54 THERE ARE TODAY ABOUT 14 MILLION JEWS LEFT.
• 03:57 EVEN WITH HALF THEIR NUMBER EXTERMINATED AT THE CENTURY'S MIDPOINT,
• 04:02 159 OF THE REMAINING 836 NOBEL PRIZES WERE AWARDED TO JEWS
• 04:10 OR ROUGHLY 18.8% OF ALL THE NOBEL PRIZES AWARDED IN NOBEL'S HISTORY.
• 04:17 YOU KNOW, OUR LEVITT LETTER EVERY MONTH,
• 04:19 AND BY THE WAY YOU CAN GET A LEVITT LETTER JUST BY SENDING US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS,
• 04:22 THERE'S NO CHARGE, BUT WE CHRONICLE WHAT GOES ON HERE.
• 04:25 THEY'RE WORKING ON CURES NOW FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND PARKINSON'S DISEASE.
• 04:30 THEY ARE WORKING ON CANCER CURES.
• 04:32 THEY'VE PROVIDED SO MANY AMERICAN MEDICINES, THEY DON'T WANT CREDIT.
• 04:36 THEY DON'T WANT TO BE NOTICED, THANK YOU, THEY'D RATHER BE LEFT ALONE.
• 04:39 THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO PLEASE THE GENTILES OR WIN AWARDS
• 04:42 EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE GIVEN THE AWARDS.
• 04:44 SO MANY MEDICINES, YOU KNOW ARE CREATED HERE
• 04:49 THAT ONE TIME WHEN THE AIRLINE LOST MY BAG FOR A DAY OR TWO,
• 04:54 I HAD HEART PILLS IN THERE AND A CARDIOLOGIST ON THE TOUR
• 04:57 OFFERED TO GO TO AN ISRAELI PHARMACY WITH ME AND TRY TO REPLACE THE DRUGS
• 05:02 THAT I HAD FROM MY OWN DRUG STORE IN DALLAS WITH ISRAELI EQUIVALENTS.
• 05:07 WE WENT INTO A PHARMACY AND WE SPOKE TO THE PHARMACIST AND I TOLD HIM THE NAMES OF THE DRUGS
• 05:14 AND HE SAID, OK IT'S NO PROBLEM, IT'S MOSTLY ISRAELI MEDICINES.
• 05:19 WHO KNEW?
• 05:20 I ALWAYS TELL THE STORY OF BUYING A BIG MASON JAR FULL OF ERYTHROMYCIN IN JERUSALEM
• 05:26 FOR $2.50 WHERE BACK HOME IT'S DOLLARS PER PILL.
• 05:30 YOU KNOW, CONTAC, IF YOU TAKE THAT, IS AN ISRAELI MEDICINE.
• 05:35 I COULD NAME THEM ALL DAY.
• 05:36 BUT, NEVER MIND, THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO NAME THEM,
• 05:38 THEY DO NOT WANT THE CREDIT, THEY JUST WANT PEACE.
• 05:41 PROBABLY THEY DON'T EVEN WANT YOU TO SEE THEIR AIRPORT UNLESS YOU COME HERE, BUT HERE IT IS.
• 05:47 I'M GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU.
• 05:49 IT IS A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.
• 05:51 LOOKING FURTHER ON IN THIS OMEGA LETTER,
• 05:56 IT SAYS HISTORICALLY WHEREVER THE JEWS WERE WELCOMED, THAT NATION FLOURISHED AND PROSPERED.
• 06:03 WHERE THE JEW WAS PERSECUTED, THOSE NATIONS FLOUNDERED.
• 06:07 IT IS MORE THAN JUST COINCIDENCE;
• 06:09 IT IS AN IDENTIFIABLE HISTORICAL PATTERN THAT HAS CONTINUED WITHOUT DEVIATION
• 06:14 SINCE THE DAYS OF THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY.
• 06:17 HE GOES ON TO PRESENT UMPTEEN EXAMPLES OF THAT.
• 06:21 HE SAYS ALTHOUGH AMERICA CONTINUES TO BE ISRAEL'S PRINCIPAL PROTECTOR
• 06:26 AND CONTINUES TO ENJOY THE CONCOMITANT BLESSINGS THAT COME WITH IT,
• 06:30 AMERICA'S GOOD FORTUNES BEGAN TO WANE
• 06:32 ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE WHITE HOUSE FORCED ISRAEL INTO THE OSLO AGREEMENT.
• 06:38 THE LAND FOR PEACE FORMULA CALLED FOR ISRAEL
• 06:40 TO GIVE UP SOME OF THE LAND OF PROMISE IN EXCHANGE FOR PEACE.
• 06:44 IN OTHER WORDS, IT WAS A FORM OF BLACKMAIL WHOSE TERMS WERE DRAWN UP IN WASHINGTON
• 06:48 AND FORCED UPON ISRAEL FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF UNDOING WHAT GOD HAD DONE,
• 06:54 INCLUDING DIVIDING JERUSALEM AND TAKING PART OF IT FROM THE JEWS.
• 06:57 FORTUNATELY, THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
• 06:59 THE OSLO PEACE PROCESS WENT NOWHERE.
• 07:03 IF YOU'D HAVE GOTTEN THE LEVITT LETTER ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE OSLO PROCESS,
• 07:07 YOU WOULD HAVE READ THAT IT WAS GOING NOWHERE.
• 07:10 WE PREDICTED THAT.
• 07:12 IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE ANY SORT OF BARGAIN AT LEAST WITH THE PALESTINIAN REGIME,
• 07:17 WHICH PERHAPS WILL BE CHANGED AT THIS TIME OF YASSER ARAFAT'S DEMISE.
• 07:22 WE'RE NOT SURE, BUT SUCH A THING AS LAND FOR PEACE HAS NEVER BEEN DONE IN THIS WORLD BY ANY NATION
• 07:30 AND THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY SMALLEST NATIONS.
• 07:33 THIS WHOLE NATION IS THE SIZE OF NEW JERSEY.
• 07:35 I DOUBT THAT NEW JERSEY HAS AN AIRPORT TO COMPARE WITH THIS ONE.
• 07:38 IN FACT, I KNOW THEY DON'T. I'VE FLOWN INTO NEWARK, ATLANTIC CITY,
• 07:41 OTHERS IN NEW JERSEY AND THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT.
• 07:45 WHAT AM I SAYING? I'M NOT BRAGGING.
• 07:47 I'M JUST TRYING TO GIVE THE BALANCING SIDE TO A COUNTRY THAT IS CONSTANTLY MALIGNED,
• 07:53 THAT HAS ENDLESS REPORTS THAT FAVORS THE PALESTINIAN SIDE
• 07:58 AND WHY DOES IT FAVOR THE PALESTINIAN SIDE?
• 08:00 WELL, BECAUSE THE MAJOR NETWORKS ARE NOT REALLY ALLOWED TO OPERATE AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS
• 08:08 THEY WILL BE IN REAL TROUBLE WITH THEM, I MEAN REAL TROUBLE.
• 08:12 IF THEY GO TO RAMALLAH, WHERE ARAFAT'S HEADQUARTER IS
• 08:17 AND THEY WANT TO FILM, THEY HAD BETTER FILM THE RIGHT THINGS
• 08:19 AND SAY THE RIGHT THINGS OR THERE'LL BE RECRIMINATIONS.
• 08:23 AS TO FILMING IN ISRAEL, IT'S A PERFECTLY FREE COUNTRY LIKE THE UNITED STATES
• 08:28 AND THEY'RE FREE TO FILM WHAT THEY LIKE AND SAY WHAT THEY LIKE.
• 08:30 SO, AS WE'RE FREE TO DO THAT, WE THOUGHT WE'D SHOW YOU THE AIRPORT.
• 08:35 I'M VERY PROUD OF IT AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO SHOW IT TO YOU.

• 09:27 FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION, HE BRINGS THE PROPHETIC
• 09:32 AND HE BRINGS THE REVELATION TO THE PROPHECY OUT
• 09:36 AND SHOWS YOU THE PROPHECIES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN FULFILLED
• 09:39 AND THE PLACES WHERE JESUS IS GOING TO COME BACK
• 09:41 AND REALLY MOMENTOUS THROUGH OUR LIVES.
• 09:43 CALL OR WRITE FOR INFORMATION ON ZOLA'S NEXT TOUR TO THE HOLY LAND.
• 09:53 PSALM 128 IS ALL ABOUT OLIVE TREES IN A WAY.
• 09:58 IT SAYS BLESSED IS EVERYONE THAT FEARETH THE LORD,
• 10:00 THAT WALKETH IN HIS WAYS FOR THOU SHALT EAT THE LABOR OF THINE HANDS.
• 10:04 HAPPY SHALL THOU BE AND IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THEE.
• 10:07 THY WIFE SHALL BE AS A FRUITFUL VINE BY THE SIDES OF THINE HOUSE
• 10:11 THY CHILDREN LIKE OLIVE PLANTS ROUND ABOUT THY TABLE.
• 10:15 BEHOLD THAT THUS SHALL THE MEN BE BLESSED THAT FEARETH THE LORD.
• 10:21 THE LORD SHALL BLESS THEE OUT OF ZION
• 10:24 AND THOU SHALL SEE THE GOOD OF JERUSALEM ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE.
• 10:27 YE, THOU SHALT SEE THY CHILDREN'S CHILDREN AND PEACE UPON ISRAEL.
• 10:32 IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PSALM, THAT'S THE WHOLE THING.
• 10:35 YOU KNOW, THE ISRAELIS, WE'VE SHOWN YOU THEIR BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS, HIGHWAYS, THEATERS.
• 10:40 THEY HAVE SATELLITES.
• 10:43 THEY ARE PERFECTING DRUGS FOR THE WORLD.
• 10:45 THEY ARE PERFECTING COMPUTERS FOR THE WORLD,
• 10:47 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY HAVE OLIVE TREES, TOO AND ALWAYS HAVE HAD.
• 10:49 WE'VE BEEN LISTENING FOR 30 YEARS TO STORIES OF PALESTINIANS TRYING TO PICK OLIVE AND THEY DO
• 10:58 AND THEN AN ISRAELI BULLDOZER COMES ALONG MAKING A ROAD, DAMAGES AN OLIVE TREE,
• 11:02 CNN HAS IT ON ALL DAY LONG AND YOU KNOW WHAT, IT GOES THE OTHER WAY, TOO.
• 11:07 ISRAELIS HAVE OLIVE TREES, THEY GET DAMAGED BY PALESTINIANS.
• 11:10 PALESTINIANS SET WHOLE FOREST FIRES IN ISRAEL JUST TO BE ORNERY.
• 11:15 BUT THIS IS AN OLIVE GROVE THAT LIES BETWEEN JERUSALEM AND TEL AVIV
• 11:20 AND AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR, THEY HAVE ALMOST A FAMILY CEREMONY
• 11:25 WHERE THE CHILDREN SHAKE THE TREES OR BEAT THEM OR WHATEVER,
• 11:29 THE OLIVES FALL ON THE GROUND, THEY ARE PICKED UP IN SORT OF PLASTIC TARPS OR BAGS
• 11:37 AND BROUGHT TO A COLLECTION POINT AND THROWN IN THERE
• 11:41 AND FROM THERE, OF COURSE, THEY MAY BE EATEN OR PRESSED INTO OLIVE OIL
• 11:45 AND IT GOES ON AS A STEADY ACTIVITY OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS,
• 11:51 AS WELL AS THE BUILDINGS AND THE FACTORIES AND ALL THE REST OF IT
• 11:54 AS PART OF DEMONSTRATING AN ISRAEL YOU WOULD NEVER SEE IF YOU WATCH CNN FOR 100 YEARS.
• 12:00 IN THE CHAPTER, EZEKIEL 36,
• 12:04 IS ABOUT A SITUATION VERY SIMILAR TO OUR OWN TIME.
• 12:08 IT ALMOST SEEMS TO BE ABOUT THE DIFFICULTIES IN THE WEST BANK
• 12:11 AND GAZA, PAGANS HEATHEN IN THE LAND AND WHATEVER,
• 12:17 IT'S ADDRESSED IN 36:1 TO THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL.
• 12:31 AND THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, OF COURSE, IS THE CENTER SPINE OF THE COUNTRY,
• 12:36 WHICH RUNS DIRECTLY THROUGH THE WEST BANK, SAMARIA.
• 12:55 THEREFORE, YE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD GOD
• 12:58 AND HE PROPHESIES TO THE MOUNTAINS AND ENDS UP SAYING IN VERSE 8
• 13:02 BUT, YE, OH MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL SHALL SHOOT FORTH YOUR BRANCHES
• 13:06 AND YIELD YOUR FRUITS TO MY PEOPLE OF ISRAEL FOR THEY ARE AT HAND TO COME
• 13:12 AND THE STORY OF THE WHOLE CHAPTER WITHOUT READING IT ALL
• 13:15 AND I REALLY RECOMMEND IT TO YOU,
• 13:17 IT COMES RIGHT BEFORE THE VISION OF THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES
• 13:21 AND THUS IT PLACES IT IN THE END TIMES APPROXIMATELY WHERE WE ARE
• 13:24 AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE SINS OF ISRAEL, THE HEATHEN THAT COME INTO THE LAND
• 13:31 AND THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL IN THE END.
• 13:34 THE PAST SINS OF ISRAEL HER FUTURE RESTORATION AND CONVERSION
• 13:38 ARE COVERED IN THIS ONE CHAPTER.
• 13:41 IT GOES ALONG AND TALKS ABOUT
• 13:51 IN OTHER WORDS AT TIMES WHEN ISRAEL WAS IN UNBELIEF
• 13:56 AND BOASTED STILL TO THE HEATHEN THEY WERE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE,
• 14:00 THEY PROFANED THE NAME OF THE LORD.
• 14:03 BUT, IN THE END HE SAYS,
• 14:04 I WILL SAVE YOU FROM ALL YOUR UNCLEANNESS, IN VERSE 29
• 14:07 I WILL CALL FOR THE CORN AND INCREASE IT AND LAY NO FAMINE UPON YOU
• 14:11 AND I WILL MULTIPLY THE FRUIT OF THE TREE AND THE INCREASE OF THE FIELD
• 14:14 THAT YE SHALL RECEIVE NO MORE REPROACH OF FAMINE AMONG THE HEATHEN.
• 14:19 AND AT THE END HE SAYS, AS THE HOLY FLOCK, THAT IS VERSE 38,
• 14:24 AS THE FLOCK OF ISRAEL IN HER SOLEMN FEASTS,
• 14:27 SO SHALL THE WASTE CITIES BE FILLED WITH FLOCKS OF MEN
• 14:30 AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
• 14:33 AND EZEKIEL'S VERY NEXT VISION IS THAT VALLEY OF DRY BONES MEANING
• 14:37 THE JEWISH PEOPLE OUT IN THE DIASPORA WHO ARE BROUGHT TO ISRAEL AND COME TO LIFE
• 14:42 AND BECOME SPIRITUAL AND FINALLY RECEIVE THE KING
• 14:46 WHO SETS UP HIS THOUSAND YEAR KINGDOM HERE IN ISRAEL.
• 15:01 WELL, IT WAS FUN TO LOOK AT HOW THE OLIVES, I NEVER KNEW THAT.
• 15:05 I THOUGHT YOU GOT OLIVE IN A JAR AT THE SUPER MARKET.
• 15:09 I DIDN'T KNOW PEOPLE SHOOK TREES AND ALL THE REST OF IT,
• 15:12 BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW FROM WATCHING OUR TV OR ANYTHING.
• 15:15 THEY DON'T REPORT ON WHAT THE ISRAELIS ARE DOING.
• 15:18 THEY MAY REPORT ON AN ISRAELI TRUCK BUMPING A PALESTINIAN OLIVE TREE,
• 15:22 THAT'S ABOUT THE EXTENT OF IT.
• 15:24 I WAS GLAD TO SHOW YOU THE NEW AIRPORT,
• 15:25 BUT, TOMMY THAT BRINGS UP A POINT.
• 15:28 TOMMY ICE IS MY GUEST.
• 15:29 HE'S AN EXPERT ESPECIALLY IN ANTI-SEMITISM AND RESTORATION OF THE JEWS TO ISRAEL.
• 15:36 YOU'VE WRITTEN A NEW BOOK ON THIS.
• 15:38 HE'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE PRE-TRIBULATION COUNCILS,
• 15:43 RESEARCH CENTER, RESEARCH CENTER, OK.
• 15:45 YOU KNOW, THOSE NAMES GET SO FANCY.
• 15:47 I KNOW.
• 15:49 TOMMY, WHY DOES THE WORLD IGNORE THE POSITIVES IN ISRAEL?
• 15:55 WHY IS THIS ANTI-SEMITISM COMING UP A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS AFTER THE HOLOCAUST?
• 15:59 WHY IS ALL THAT GOING ON?
• 16:01 I KNOW, IT'S JUST COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL.
• 16:03 ALL RACISM IS WRONG.
• 16:06 BUT I BELIEVE ANTI-SEMITISM IS SUPERNATURALLY INSPIRED,
• 16:10 NOT BY GOD, BUT BY SATAN.
• 16:12 IN FACT, THE BIBLE INDICATES THAT IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12
• 16:16 WITH THAT WHOLE CHAPTER TALKING ABOUT THE WOMAN FLEEING INTO THE WILDERNESS,
• 16:19 WHICH REFERS TO ISRAEL, AND HOW SATAN, THE DRAGON
• 16:23 IS CAST DOWN, OUT AND HE GOES AFTER HER AFTER 3 1/2 YEARS INTO THE TRIBULATION
• 16:28 AND THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS THE WHOLE FOCUS OF THAT PERIOD IS ATTACKING ISRAEL,
• 16:32 WHICH CULMINATES IN THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.
• 16:34 WE COULDN'T GET THEM DURING THE BATTLE OF GOG AND MAGOG WHERE WE BROUGHT A REGIONAL FORCE IN,
• 16:39 WE'RE GOING TO BRING ALL THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD DOWN
• 16:42 AND WE'RE REALLY TO GET THEM THIS TIME.
• 16:44 IN FACT, THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS IN MATTHEW 24,
• 16:47 IF GOD DIDN'T INTERVENE, NO FLESH WOULD BE SAVED, THE JEWS WOULD BE WIPED OUT.
• 16:51 I TEACH THIS.
• 16:53 THIS IS MY BREAD AND BUTTER IN THE CHURCHES AND CHURCHES ARE SO MISINFORMED ON PROPHECY,
• 16:58 IT COMES AS BIG NEWS.
• 17:00 WELL, SO IT IS SATANICALLY INSPIRED AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER,
• 17:05 WHO'S THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA MADE ALL THOSE MOVIES OF HIM BEATING UP THE BAD GUYS,
• 17:09 YOU KNOW, NO ONE COULD EVER GET RID OF ARNOLD, HE'S TOO TOUGH.
• 17:13 SO, WHAT DO THEY DO?
• 17:14 THEY GO AFTER HIS WIFE AND KIDS, RIGHT.
• 17:16 IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE IN REVELATION 12,
• 17:18 MICHAEL AND THE ARCHANGELS CAST SATAN AND HIS DEMONS OUT OF HEAVEN,
• 17:23 THEY'RE CAST DOWN TO THE EARTH AND IT SAYS HE ATTACKS THE WOMAN.
• 17:26 THEY ATTACK GOD'S PEOPLE, WHICH IN THE CONTEXT ARE THE JEWISH BELIEVERS.
• 17:32 THEY CAN'T BEAT GOD LIKE THEY CAN'T BEAT SCHWARZENEGGER
• 17:36 BUT THEY CAN GO AFTER GOD'S CHILDREN.
• 17:39 THAT'S RIGHT AND THAT'S WHAT HE DOES AND SINCE HE,
• 17:42 ESPECIALLY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION,
• 17:44 DEVELOPS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY THAT HE IS CHARGE OF,
• 17:49 IT CULMINATES IN HIM BRINGING ALL THE ARMIES IN THE WORLD TO DO THIS.
• 17:55 BY THIS TIME, THOUGH, ISRAEL BECOMES CONVERTED, THE REMNANT,
• 17:59 THE 1/3 REMNANT BECOMES CONVERTED TO JESUS, THE MESSIAH
• 18:02 IN FACT THE SECOND COMING IS A RESCUE EVENT, ZOLA.
• 18:06 HE PICKS THEM UP AT PETRA AND HE TO THE MT. OF OLIVES.
• 18:10 THAT'S CORRECT.
• 18:12 HE'S COMING TO PETRA WITH BLOOD ON HIS GARMENTS AND THEN HE COMES BACK TO THE MT. OF OLIVES.
• 18:15 BUT, IT'S THE PROVOCATION BEHIND THE SECOND COMING,
• 18:20 WAS IT, OH GOD SAYS I'M JUST PUTTING THIS ON MY CALENDAR.
• 18:23 THIS IS THE DAY I'M GOING TO COME BACK?
• 18:25 ALTHOUGH THAT IS TRUE, BUT IT SAYS THAT HE'S COMING TO RESCUE HIS PEOPLE
• 18:30 BECAUSE THE JEWS HAVE TO CALL ON THE LORD TO RESCUE THEM.
• 18:35 SO, WHAT WE'RE SEEING, WE'RE NOT IN THE TRIBULATION, WE'RE STILL IN THE CHURCH AGE
• 18:39 AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING, THOUGH IS BECAUSE ISRAEL IS BACK IN THE LAND
• 18:44 AND JUST AS THERE WAS A TIME OF STAGE-SETTING FOR CHRIST'S FIRST COMING,
• 18:48 IT DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN ONE DAY, SO THERE'S A STAGE-SETTING
• 18:52 FOR EVENTS LEADING UP TO HIS SECOND COMING.
• 18:54 SO, ISRAEL'S BACK IN THE LAND AND THAT'S WHAT HEIGHTENS OUR EXPECTATION
• 18:57 THAT GOD'S PREPARING THE FIELD, THEY USE THE TERM IN WAR TODAY,
• 19:03 "PREPARING THE BATTLEFIELD" IF YOU WILL.
• 19:04 WELL, HE'S PREPARING BY SETTING THE STAGE, REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE,
• 19:08 GOG AND MAGOG, RUSSIA AND THE ARAB COALITION THAT ARE GOING TO COME.
• 19:14 WE SEE THE APOSTASY IN THE CHURCH, SEE THE CHURCH WHICH RELATES TO THE CHURCH AGE
• 19:18 AND WE SEE A DECLINE OF FAITH INCLUDING THE STATEMENT OF
• 19:24 WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING,
• 19:26 IS ONE OF THE APOSTATE STATEMENTS THAT YOU FIND IN THE CHURCH AGE.
• 19:29 SO, YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE SAYING JESUS CAME BACK IN A.D. 70, JESUS ISN'T COMING BACK AGAIN,
• 19:33 SOME OF THE FULL PRETERISTS, YOU'VE GOT LIBERALS WHO BELIEVE HE'S JUST NOT GOING TO COME BACK
• 19:37 HE'S COMING BACK IN OUR HEARTS.
• 19:39 EXACTLY, ALL THESE SPIRITUALIZED THINGS.
• 19:42 YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS TEACH MY GROUPS,
• 19:43 ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE STANDING IN THE UPPER ROOM IN JERUSALEM
• 19:46 AND I SAY, IF THEY'RE TEACHING THAT HE'S NOT COMING BACK FOR THEM, I THINK THEY'RE RIGHT.
• 19:51 IF THAT'S WHAT YOU TEACH, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.
• 19:56 SO, THE WHOLE FOCUS, JUST LIKE 2000 YEARS AGO
• 20:00 WHEN CHRIST CAME THE FIRST TIME IS IN ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM,
• 20:05 THEN THE WHOLE FOCUS IS GOING TO BE IN THE FUTURE EVENTS ON ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM
• 20:12 IN RELATIONSHIP THIS TIME TO THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
• 20:15 SO THIS IS WHY WE'RE SEEING, I THINK, THIS ANTI-SEMITISM,
• 20:19 BUT, IT JUST BOTHERS ME THAT MANY EVANGELICAL INCREASINGLY
• 20:24 ARE MOVING AWAY FROM SUPPORTFOR ISRAEL AND IT HASN'T GAINED TRACTION WITH THE MASSES YET,
• 20:30 BUT, IF YOU LOOK AT THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITIES AND ALL OF THESE JUST 25 YEARS AGO,
• 20:36 THESE SEMINARIES AND BIBLE COLLEGES THAT WERE STARTED BY BIBLE-BELIEVING,
• 20:43 LITERAL INTERPRETING PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED IN PROPHECY,
• 20:47 BELIEVED ISRAEL WAS SIGNIFICANT AND HAD A THING,
• 20:49 NOW THEY'RE BEING REPLACED BY A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF ACADEMICS WHO EITHER QUESTION,
• 20:54 ONE WILL PUT IT IN THE CONTEXT WHILE OTHERS FIVE POSSIBLE INTERPRETATIONS OF THIS PASSAGE,
• 21:00 YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING. YES.
• 21:01 OR THEY'RE BECOMING HOSTILE TO THIS.
• 21:05 THEY MAKE FUN IN SOME INSTANCES OF THE PEOPLE THAT PROCEEDED THEM,
• 21:10 THE GREAT PROPHECY TEACHERS THAT PROCEEDED THEM AND VERY FEW SCHOOLS NOW ARE,
• 21:17 EVEN IF SOME OF THEM MAY HOLD TO THESE VIEWS, THEY'RE NOT SPEAKING OUT ANY MORE.
• 21:21 I THINK YOU KIND OF KNOW ABOUT THAT.
• 21:22 YES, OUR MINISTRY GOES AFTER THIS KIND OF ERROR.
• 21:27 WE'VE CRITICIZED THE SEMINARIES AND THEN PEOPLE WRITE TO US,
• 21:30 HOW CAN YOU CRITICIZE MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE, DALLAS SEMINARY, ETC.
• 21:33 WE KNOW WHERE OF WE SPEAK.
• 21:35 OUR CHIEF THEOLOGIAN DR. TOM MCCALL, HE'S GOT A DOCTORATE FROM DALLAS,
• 21:39 HE AND I WROTE BOOKS, BEST SELLERS FOR MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE.
• 21:42 MOODY PRESS USED TO CHECK OUR BOOKS LINE FOR LINE WITH THEOLOGIANS
• 21:47 TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THESE NEW FANGLED IDEAS OF OURS,
• 21:52 THE "COMING RUSSIAN INVASION OF ISRAEL" OR "THE ANTI-CHRIST, SATAN IN THE SANCTUARY",
• 21:56 THESE ARE CONSIDERED HACKNEYED OLD BOOKS NOW,
• 21:59 BUT THEY WERE SO REVOLUTIONARY RIGHT AFTER "LATE GREAT PLANET EARTH"
• 22:03 THEY CHECKED LINE FOR LINE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS TOTALLY BIBLICAL.
• 22:07 THAT'D BE A LAUGH NOW.
• 22:09 I DON'T KNOW IF THEY EVEN UNDERSTAND PROPHECY.
• 22:12 IT WOULD BE REJECTED BY THEIR EDITORS BEFORE, THEY WOULDN'T PUBLISH IT.
• 22:15 THEY DON'T PUBLISH IT, ANYMORE.
• 22:18 I WENT TO THE MOODY BOOKSTORE, I'M SORRY TOMMY, ONE MORE THOUGHT.
• 22:22 MY WIFE AND I WENT IN THE MOODY BOOKSTORE
• 22:24 BECAUSE REV. ED HINDSON TOLD ME HE WENT THERE AND THERE WERE NO BOOKS ABOUT PROPHECY.
• 22:29 WELL, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, SO I WENT PERSONALLY AND I EXAMINED THE WHOLE BOOKSTORE.
• 22:34 YOU KNOW WHAT, HE'S RIGHT. HE'S RIGHT.
• 22:37 THERE WAS A FEW OF TIM LAHAYE'S "LEFT BEHIND"
• 22:40 BUT NO TEACHING BOOKS ABOUT PROPHECY IN A SEMINARY BOOKSTORE.
• 22:45 AND EVEN THINK, SOME OF THE FACULTY STILL HAS BOOKS FROM MOODY PRESS IN PRINT
• 22:50 TEACHING ABOUT PROPHECY AT MOODY.
• 22:52 MY BOOKS ARE, WELL, WE'VE TAKEN OVER COPYRIGHTS AND STILL RELEASE THEM AND PEOPLE AT MOODY
• 22:59 I GUESS WOULDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THEM NOW AND THEY USED TO CHECK THEM OUT.
• 23:02 SO, WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS, I THINK,
• 23:06 EVEN THOUGH A MAJORITY OF AMERICAN EVANGELICALS ARE PRO-ISRAEL,
• 23:10 WE'RE SEEING THAT THE BASIS THAT'S BUILT AND SUPPORTED THAT IS ERODING, YOU SEE
• 23:17 AND THAT MEANS IN THE FUTURE PROBABLY THERE'S GOING TO BE A DECLINE IN SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL
• 23:24 UNLESS PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND OTHERS LIKE YOU
• 23:26 HAVE A GREATER VOICE AND IMPACT ON THE 20 SOMETHINGS AND 30 SOMETHINGS.
• 23:31 I'M DOING WHAT I CAN, I REALLY AM,
• 23:33 BUT, THE LAST TIME I SPOKE AT DALLAS SEMINARY,
• 23:35 I'M ON THEIR SHORT LIST OF APPROVED CHAPEL SPEAKERS,
• 23:38 BUT, I HAVEN'T HAD VERY MANY INVITATIONS LATELY.
• 23:40 BUT, I DID BACK, IT HAD TO BE ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO THAT I SPOKE THERE
• 23:45 BUT, I ASKED MOSHE ROSEN, THE FOUNDER OF JEWS FOR JESUS,
• 23:48 WHAT SHOULD I TELL THE PEOPLE AT DALLAS SEMINARY?
• 23:50 HE SAID START OUT BY SAYING, I COME TO YOU LIKE A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR
• 23:55 TO TELL YOU NOT TO FORGET YOUR FIRST LOVE.
• 23:57 VERY GOOD.
• 23:59 I DID IT, BUT I HAD SKEPTICAL KIDS LOOKING AT ME FROM THE AUDIENCE,
• 24:04 FACULTY MEMBERS LOOKING AROUND, BUT YOU KNOW A FEW THINGS HAPPENED,
• 24:08 WHEN I WAS DONE WALKING OFF THE PODIUM, A FACULTY MEMBER WALKING PAST ME
• 24:11 KIND OF JUST UNDER OUR COATS SQUEEZED MY HAND LIKE TO SAY, "SELL IT BROTHER".
• 24:17 HE WOULDN'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT BY THE REST OF THE FACULTY, YOU KNOW.
• 24:20 WE USED TO CALL THAT THE SANHEDRIN WHEN WE I WAS A STUDENT.
• 24:22 THEY SAT UP THERE ON THE STAGE LIKE GOD KNOWS--
• 24:26 IN CASE SOME HERESY DRIPPED OUT FROM THEM.
• 24:29 CHECKING OUT EVERYTHING I SAID.
• 24:32 BUT, IT PAST MUSTARD, AT LEAST THEY LET ME FINISH AND THE GUY SQUEEZED MY HAND,
• 24:37 I'LL NEVER FORGET IT AS IF TO SAY "PREACH IT BROTHER", BUT I'M DOING THIS IN PRIVATE DOWN HERE.
• 24:42 ZOLA, IT'S MIND BOGGLING TO ME WHEN YOU READ THE SCRIPTURES
• 24:45 AND ISRAEL IS ON EVERY PAGE IN THE SCRIPTURES AND THEY SAY
• 24:49 ISRAEL DOESN'T MEAN ISRAEL, THE CHURCH TOOK OVER FOR ISRAEL.
• 24:52 THIS BOOK WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED IN JERUSALEM BY JEWS.
• 24:54 EXACTLY--
• 24:56 TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH FOR USE OVER HERE.
• 24:59 BECAUSE WE'RE SO, THE EVANGELICALS ARE PRO-ISRAEL,
• 25:03 THEN WE'RE NEGLECTING THE PALESTINIAN CHRISTIANS, YOU KNOW AND THESE KINDS OF THINGS.
• 25:07 ANSWER THAT ONE IF DON'T MIND.
• 25:09 I GET IT EVERY TIME I SPEAK IN CHURCHES.
• 25:10 HOW MANY PALESTINIAN BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS ARE THERE?
• 25:13 YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ARE OVER THERE,
• 25:14 BUT THERE'S A LOT LESS NOW BECAUSE OF ISLAM, NOT BECAUSE OF ISRAEL.
• 25:19 CHASING THEM OUT.
• 25:20 IN FACT, I GOT A SCHOLARLY ARTICLE FOR MY BOOK THAT I'M USING
• 25:24 SHOWING THAT THERE IS A SIMILAR DECLINE OF BOTH PALESTINIAN CHRISTIANS,
• 25:31 WHETHER THEY'RE EVANGELICAL OR NOT IN JORDAN WHEN THE MUSLIMS TOOK OVER JORDAN,
• 25:37 WHEN SYRIA WENT INTO TO JORDAN.
• 25:38 LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING IN IRAQ, THEY'RE PERSECUTING THE CHRISTIANS.
• 25:42 THEY'RE CHASING THEM OUT.
• 25:44 SO, IT'S NOT THE JEWS, BECAUSE BEFORE ISRAEL, WHAT WAS THAT PEACE TREATY, OSLO.
• 25:53 IN THE EARLY 90S THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM OF CHRISTIANS
• 25:59 OR PALESTINIAN CHRISTIANS AS THEY'RE CALLED,
• 26:02 ALTHOUGH WE KNOW THE ANCIENT PALESTINIANS WERE INVENTED IN 1964 BY YASSER ARAFAT,
• 26:07 BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED DECLINES,
• 26:13 THEY WERE VERY STEADY PEOPLE, WERE NOT IMMIGRATING OR LEAVING THE STATE OF ISRAEL
• 26:17 UNTIL THE MUSLIMS CAME IN AND TOOK OVER.
• 26:19 HAVE TO LEAVE IT AT THAT, TOMMY, THAT'S VERY GOOD.
• 26:22 I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO--
• 26:25 I WISH YOU COULD STAY ALL DAY AND ITS FUN TO TALK TO YOU
• 26:28 AND YOU'RE SO RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING.
• 26:29 THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.
• 26:30 I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
• 26:31 THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
• 26:33 I CONSIDER IT AN HONOR TO BE ON YOUR PROGRAM.
• 26:34 OK. HE'S TOMMY ICE.
• 26:36 HE'S GOT BOOKS IN THE BOOKSTORE.
• 26:38 HE'S A GOOD MAN TO HEAR AS YOU HAVE JUST EXPERIENCED.
• 26:41 AND SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALYIM PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
