Caption transcript for Daniel and the Last Days’ Battle for Planet Earth: “The Battle Royal,” Part 1 (7/8)

• 00:41 ANGER IN GAZA.
• 00:43 WAR IN LEBANON.
• 00:45 RUMBLINGS IN IRAN.
• 00:47 AS THE WORLD FOCUSES ON THE MIDEAST QUAGMIRE,
• 00:51 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES PRESENTS,
• 01:00 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 01:03 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 01:04 WITH MY FRIEND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 01:06 SHALOM. WELCOME BACK.
• 01:07 WE ARE STUDYING DANIEL.
• 01:09 JEFF, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT GETS WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE.
• 01:12 YES AND I SAY "FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS" TODAY! AMEN
• 01:16 WE'RE LOOKING AT GOOD NEWS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BIBLE.
• 01:20 BUT THE REASON WHY THE GOOD NEWS IS SO GOOD IS BECAUSE THE BAD NEWS IS SO BAD.
• 01:24 BUT WE HAVE OUR ROADMAP TO PEACE.
• 01:26 YES AND WE HAVE A ROADMAP TO PEACE THAT LEADS US THROUGH WAR.
• 01:32 I SEE HERE A PAST EDITION OF "NEWSWEEK"
• 01:36 TALKS ABOUT THE NEXT JIHADIST ARGUING IN PART THAT
• 01:38 "IS AMERICA DRIVING YOUNG ARAB BOYS TO WAR?" SOME CONJECTURE.
• 01:43 I THINK THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT IMPULSES THAT DRIVE PEOPLE TO WAR.
• 01:48 AND DOWN THAT ROAD WE GO TODAY AS WE SEE A WORLD COMING UNGLUED.
• 01:55 EVEN IN DANIEL'S TIME,
• 01:56 HE KNEW, PROPHESIED, THEN, THE MIDDLE AND THEN THE FUTURE,
• 02:01 PROPHESIED WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
• 02:03 YES AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
• 02:05 WELL, THE WORLD GOES BAD, IT LOOKS BAD.
• 02:10 WE NEED A MIRACLE! THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
• 02:13 ISRAEL IS SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES HELL BENT ON HER DEMISE.
• 02:17 GOD HELP US!
• 02:19 AND ISRAEL GEARS UP FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE END,
• 02:23 AND THEN, BAD NEWS NOTWITHSTANDING, THE LORD EMERGES. AMEN. AMEN.
• 02:28 LET'S CONSIDER THAT WORLD HERE NOW IN DANIEL, THE LAST DAYS' BATTLE FOR PLANET EARTH.
• 02:51 LITTLE DID THEY KNOW
• 02:53 AS THEY MADE READY FOR THE BATTLE TO COME
• 02:55 THAT THE BATTLE THAT THEY ANTICIPATED
• 02:58 WAS PREDICTED THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.
• 03:22 WHY DO THE NATIONS RAGE?
• 03:24 THAT'S WHAT THE PSALMIST WANTED TO KNOW.
• 03:26 AND RAGE THE WORLD HAS AGAINST THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 03:30 HERE AT ARMAGEDDON.
• 03:32 THERE'S 25 LAYERS OF CIVILIZATIONS THAT BUILT FORTS HERE ON THIS HILL.
• 03:38 WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THE STORY OF ARMAGEDDON
• 03:40 AS WE LOOK AT DANIEL AND THE LAST DAYS' BATTLE FOR PLANET EARTH.
• 03:45 FOLLOW ME NOW TO THE HILL OF MEGIDDO -
• 03:47 ARMAGEDDON.
• 04:03 HE WAS CONFUSED.
• 04:06 IN CHAPTER 12, VERSE 8
• 04:07 DANIEL SAYS,
• 04:08 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:19 HE WAS PERPLEXED, COULDN'T GET HIS ARMS AROUND IT.
• 04:22 HE'S LOOKING AT SOMETHING, HE SAYS,
• 04:30 IN RESPONSE TO WHICH THE LORD SAYS,
• 04:31 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:38 HE SAYS THE WORDS ARE SEALED,
• 04:40 SEALED,
• 04:42 SEALED UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END.
• 04:49 BEHIND ME HERE, THIS GREAT EXPANSE,
• 04:53 I'M STANDING ON TOP OF ARMAGEDDON,
• 04:57 A WORD IN ENGLISH THAT CONGERS UP STORIES OF ANNIHILATION
• 05:03 AND BRINGS TO THE SURFACE FEARS THAT LIE DORMANT OF A WORLD GONE BAD.
• 05:09 IT'S A PLACE WHERE NAPOLEON ONCE STOOD AND HE SAID,
• 05:13 "MY WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE A WAR."
• 05:19 MOMENTS AGO JETS WERE STREAMING THROUGH THE SKY,
• 05:22 SCREAMING OVER HEAD ALMOST AT THE SOUND BARRIER I'D IMAGINE.
• 05:26 JUST MANEUVERS I SUPPOSE.
• 05:29 BUT THEN AGAIN THIS IS A STRANGE PLACE WHERE WARS ARE FOUGHT,
• 05:33 THEY'VE BEEN FOUGHT FOR MANY YEARS AND THEY'LL BE FOUGHT AGAIN IN THE END OF DAYS.
• 05:39 OH, THERE'S AN EXPRESSION THAT'S USED OVER AND AGAIN IN THE HEBREW BIBLE
• 05:46 IN CHAPTER 12, VERSE 13
• 05:48 DANIEL IS TOLD,
• 06:00 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:07 THAT THEME WAS PICKED UP EARLIER IN THE 11TH CHAPTER.
• 06:10 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 40,
• 06:11 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:19 AND IN VERSES 40 AND ON IN THE 11TH CHAPTER
• 06:23 DANIEL IS GIVEN WORDS ABOUT WHAT WILL UNFOLD ON PLANET EARTH JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.
• 06:35 HE'S TOLD THAT THIS ANTI-MESSIAH, THE ANTI-CHRIST,
• 06:39 DRIVEN BY RAGE AND BENT ON CONQUEST AND WANTING TO PLUNDER, EGYPT PARTICULARLY,
• 06:45 AMASSES HIS FORCES FROM THE BEAUTEOUS LAND HERE
• 06:49 AND HE MAKES HIS WAY WESTWARD.
• 06:52 INTO NORTH AFRICA HE GOES.
• 06:54 WE'RE TOLD IN THE TEXT IN VERSE 43
• 06:58 THAT HE HAS LIBYA AND ETHIOPIA IN TOW.
• 07:03 AND LIKE A PYTHON HE'S MINDED TO WRAP HIMSELF AROUND EGYPT.
• 07:09 BUT SOMETHING HAPPENS.
• 07:12 WITH EGYPT IN HIS SIGHTS WE'RE TOLD THAT HE'S ALARMED BY SOMETHING.
• 07:17 WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO STARTLE AN ANTI-CHRIST?
• 07:20 WELL, WE'RE TOLD HERE IN THE HEBREW BIBLE CHAPTER 11, VERSE 44 WE'RE TOLD,
• 07:26 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 07:40 AGAIN, WHAT DOES IT TAKES TO ALARM AN ANTI-CHRIST, SOMEONE THAT HAS A MASSIVE FORCE
• 07:46 THAT'S PLUNDERING NORTHERN AFRICA TO SATISFY HIS BENT FOR CONQUEST?
• 07:54 WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO STOP HIM IN HIS TRACKS?
• 07:58 WELL, WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 44,
• 08:12 HE IS BENT ON JUST HAVING THE WORLD SWEPT UP.
• 08:18 WHAT'S GOT HIM TICKED?
• 08:21 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 45 THAT
• 08:24 AS HE REARRANGES HIS STRATEGY,
• 08:27 HE WHO HAD EGYPT IN HIS SIGHTS
• 08:30 NOW SETS HIS SIGHTS TO THE HOLY LAND
• 08:32 AND WE'RE TOLD HERE IN VERSE 45
• 08:40 (THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA NOT FAR FROM HERE)
• 08:48 AND THEN WE'RE TOLD IN THE TEXT
• 08:50 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 08:56 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 09:02 WHAT HAPPENS HERE? WE'RE TOLD THAT BENT AS HE WAS ON TAKING OUT EGYPT
• 09:08 HE'S CONCERNED FROM NEWS FROM THE EAST THAT GETS HIS ATTENTION.
• 09:13 EXPOSITORS WORK THE QUESTION,
• 09:16 "WHAT IS IT IN THE EAST PARTICULARLY THAT HAS HIM DISCONCERTED?
• 09:20 DOES HE HEAR NEWS OF JEWS THAT ARE BREAKING RANKS WITH HIM
• 09:24 AND RESISTING HIS OVERTURES IN ISRAEL?
• 09:28 INDEED THAT'S QUITE POSSIBLE, LIKELY, IN FACT.
• 09:32 BUT FOR HIM TO COMPLETELY CHANGE HIS STRATEGY
• 09:36 AND TO GATHER ALL OF HIS FORCES AND BRING THEM HERE,
• 09:41 ARGUABLY, IT WOULD TAKE SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THAT.
• 09:43 WHAT'S THE NEWS FROM THE EAST THAT CAUSES HIM TO REARRANGE HIS STRATEGY?
• 09:50 NEW TESTAMENT READERS ARE SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR WITH THAT QUESTION.
• 09:54 AND THAT'S A QUESTION THAT WE'LL ATTEND TO WHEN WE COME BACK IN A MOMENT
• 09:57 AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE BACKGROUND OF THE STORY OF THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.
• 10:12 I ALWAYS SAY EVERY WEEK, "THAT'S ISRAEL, IT'S THE WAY WE SEE IT."
• 10:16 ONE OF THE PLACES WE GO TO IS MEGIDDO, HAR-MEGIDDO, THE HEBREW "HAR-MEGIDDO" OR "ARMAGEDDON".
• 10:24 WE STAND AT THE VERY TOP OF MEGIDDO AND LOOK DOWN IN THIS JEZREEL VALLEY.
• 10:28 JEZREEL VALLEY GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE PORT OF HAIFA.
• 10:32 YOU CAN SEE WHERE MASSIVE ARMIES WOULD COME IN.
• 10:36 REVELATION CHAPTER 14, VERSE 20 TALKS ABOUT THE BATTLE
• 10:40 AND THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO READ TO YOU IN CHAPTER 14, VERSE 20,
• 10:54 THE JEZREEL VALLEY IS 15 MILES BY 30 MILES,
• 10:58 ABOUT 350 SQUARE MILES.
• 11:01 DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH BLOOD IT WOULD TAKE
• 11:03 TO COME TO A HORSE'S BRIDLE?
• 11:05 WHEN NAPOLEON WAS VIEWING - AND JEFF HAD SPOKEN ABOUT NAPOLEON.
• 11:10 WHEN JEFF WAS TALKING ABOUT NAPOLEON - NAPOLEON LOOKED DOWN ON THIS JEZREEL VALLEY AND SAID,
• 11:15 "THIS IS A PLACE FOR A BATTLE" AND A BATTLE ROYAL IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE.
• 11:20 YES, WE ARE.
• 11:22 AND ISN'T IT AMAZING THAT THE PROPHET SAW IT?
• 11:25 DANIEL WRITES FROM MODERN, WHAT IS TODAY IRAN. CLEARLY, CLEARLY.
• 11:31 HE'S FROM THAT PART OF THE WORLD
• 11:33 AND HE SEES AND EZEKIEL SEES THAT PERSIA, OR IRAN,
• 11:36 IS DRAWN INTO SOME CONFEDERATION OF PEOPLES WITH RUSSIA
• 11:41 FOR THIS GREAT CLIMACTIC ARMAGEDDON BATTLE.
• 11:44 IT IS THE BATTLE TO END ALL BATTLES.
• 11:47 BACK AFTER THIS.
• 11:57 WE HAVE WHAT JOHN REFERRED TO AS
• 12:00 "THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON" DESCRIBED.
• 12:04 IT'S PRECIPITATED IN VERSE 12 WITH,
• 12:17 I WAS JUST IN TURKEY A FEW DAYS AGO
• 12:19 AND THEREIN I WAS PARTICIPATING IN DISCUSSIONS.
• 12:23 THERE'S A BIG PROJECT TO DAM UP THE EUPHRATES RIVER IN ORDER TO BETTER MANAGE THE WATER
• 12:28 AND FACILITATE MORE AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND THERE'S ANGST.
• 12:33 AND THE TURKS AND NEIGHBORING PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN TENSION,
• 12:37 DISCUSSION OVER THE NET RESULT OF ALL OF THIS.
• 12:41 WELL, HERE WHAT HAPPENS IS THERE SOME DRYING UP OF THE WATERS
• 12:45 AND THIS THEN WILL PRECIPITATE THESE MASSES
• 12:52 THAT WERE AMASSED JUST EAST OF THE EUPHRATES
• 12:55 TO SWEEP INTO THE REGION.
• 12:57 YOU HAVE HERE FORCES TO THE EAST OF THE EUPHRATES WHO ARE GOING TO MOVE WEST.
• 13:01 NOW REMEMBER IN THE PREVIOUS SECTION WE CONSIDERED IN THE DANIEL TEXT
• 13:04 HOW THE ANTI-CHRIST IS ON AN NORTH AFRICAN CAMPAIGN AND HE'S ALARMED,
• 13:10 HE'S DISCONCERTED BY NEWS FROM THE NORTH AND NEWS FROM THE EAST.
• 13:14 THERE'S A VERY COGENT ARGUMENT THAT WHAT HIS PRIMARY CONCERN IS WHAT'S BEING DESCRIBED HERE.
• 13:20 AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE THESE MASSIVE ARMIES FROM NORTHERN AFRICA,
• 13:26 FROM AND AROUND ISRAEL PROPER AND THEN FROM THE EAST,
• 13:30 PERSIAN PEOPLES PARTICULARLY, THEY'RE ALL GATHERING TOGETHER, ARABS AND OTHERS,
• 13:35 FOR THIS GREAT CONFLAGRATION, GREAT AS IN TERMS OF MAGNITUDE.
• 13:38 IT'S NOT THAT IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY.
• 13:41 JOHN GOES ON TO SAY THAT HE SEES THESE UNCLEAN SPIRITS COME OUT.
• 13:46 IN VERSE 13, IN VERSE 14 HE SAYS
• 14:06 HERE I AM AT ARMAGEDDON.
• 14:11 BEHIND ME IS THIS GREAT VALLEY.
• 14:14 REALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE REGION
• 14:17 IT'S REALLY JUST ABOUT THE ONLY PLACE WHERE YOU CAN STAGE MASSIVE FORCES.
• 14:22 HERE THERE'S WATER IN ABUNDANCE
• 14:24 AND THERE'S FOOD STAPLES AND THERE'S A PLACE TO PITCH YOUR TENT
• 14:27 WHICH YOU DON'T FIND IN THE ROCKY TERRAIN IN AND AROUND THE MIDDLE EAST.
• 14:32 YOU DON'T FIND THE CLIMATE, YOU DON'T FIND THE WATER, YOU DON'T FIND THE AREA.
• 14:37 THIS IS THE PLACE.
• 14:39 IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS, BY THE WAY, WHERE THERE'S, I THINK, 25 LAYERS OF EXCAVATION
• 14:45 THAT TELL OF DIFFERENT PEOPLES THAT BUILT FORTS.
• 14:48 AND HERE I AM AGAIN AT ARMAGEDDON SITTING ON TOP OF A
• 14:51 HORSE TROUGH HERE WHERE HORSES WOULD BE BEDDED DOWN,
• 14:55 WHERE THEY WOULD BE STORED AND THEY COULD THEN HAVE WATER BROUGHT
• 15:00 AND OTHER THINGS FOR THEM TO EAT, IN FACT.
• 15:03 IF YOU'LL LOOK WITH ME IN CHAPTER 9,
• 15:05 HEREIN MENTIONED IN THE
• 15:07 ARMAGEDDON STORY ARE HORSES.
• 15:09 WE'RE TOLD - THE LANGUAGE HERE IS VERY FANTASTIC
• 15:13 AS IS THE 16TH CHAPTER THAT I'M GOING TO BACK AGAIN IN A MINUTE.
• 15:35 THAT NUMBER WAS SO VAST JOHN ENVISIONS 200 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE EUPHRATES.
• 15:43 THEY ARE SWARMING INTO THIS REGION AND THE NUMBER IS SO VAST, YOU GOTTA CONSIDER THIS,
• 15:49 THAT HE NEVER HEARD OF THAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE BEFORE.
• 15:53 HE EVEN HAS TO SORT OF APOLOGIZE FOR IT BY SAYING AFTERWARDS,
• 15:56 "I HEARD THE NUMBER OF THEM", HE SAYS, "200 MILLION", PAUSE,
• 16:00 "HEY LOOK, I HEARD THAT NUMBER", AS IF HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IT WHEN HE HEARD IT.
• 16:04 BUT HE SEES THESE MASSIVE HOARDS OF PEOPLE MAKING THEIR WAY HERE AT THE TIME OF THE END.
• 16:13 IN CHAPTER 16 HE DESCRIBES
• 16:15 THAT THEY'RE BEING DRIVEN ABOUT
• 16:17 BY SPIRITS OF DEMONS
• 16:19 THAT ARE DRIVING THESE KINGS TO GATHER TOGETHER
• 16:23 THESE MASSIVE FORCES FROM ALL OVER TO THIS PLACE.
• 16:27 AND THEN IN VERSE 15, JESUS
• 16:30 SPEAKS DIRECTLY INTO THE STORY.
• 16:35 IN FACT, WE HAVEN'T HEARD JESUS SPEAK DIRECTLY SINCE HIS MESSAGES TO THE 7 CHURCHES.
• 16:41 IF YOU LOOK IN REVELATION CHAPTER 4, ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE END OF THE STORY,
• 16:48 RIGHT AT THE END HE SAYS, "I'M COMING SOON" - "BE READY".
• 16:51 BUT BEYOND THE BEGINNING PASSAGES AND THEN THE FEW EXHORTATIONS AT THE END,
• 16:56 THE ONE PLACE WHERE HE SPEAKS INTO THE SITUATION IS RIGHT HERE WHERE HE SAYS IN VERSE 15,
• 17:12 IN THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN RIGHT NOW
• 17:14 WITH MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD BREATHING THREATS,
• 17:18 HE REPRESENTS THE NATION STATE
• 17:22 AMASSED JUST EAST OF THE EUPHRATES,
• 17:25 WHO'S SWEARING ON A STACK OF KORANS THAT HE'S GOING TO COME AND DRIVE ISRAEL INTO THE SEA.
• 17:31 HE'S TELLING US JUST LIKE HITLER SAID YEARS AGO,
• 17:34 HE HAS HIS EYE ON THE DESTRUCTION OF THESE PEOPLE.
• 17:36 WHEN YOU HEAR AN EXHORTATION OF THE LORD SAYING, "LISTEN, BE READY, BE READY."
• 17:41 I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT THIS REALLY SPEAKS TO A GENERATION SUCH AS OURS.
• 17:46 "BE READY", HE SAYS.
• 17:48 TO BE FOLLOWED WITH, "AND THEY GATHERED THEM TOGETHER TO THE PLACE IN HEBREW CALLED.."
• 17:52 "ARMAGEDDON."
• 18:08 OH, IT'S WONDERFUL TO BE HERE IN THE JORDAN RIVER.
• 18:11 SANDRA LEVITT AND I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR A TRIP.
• 18:14 BUS LOAD OF PILGRIMS ARE HERE
• 18:16 AND 6 PASTORS CAME WITH US
• 18:19 THAT ARE BEHIND US HERE BAPTIZING INDIVIDUALS.
• 18:23 WHY NOT YOU SOMETIME?
• 18:25 JOIN SANDRA LEVITT AND I FOR THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME HERE IN ISRAEL
• 18:29 AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE JORDAN RIVER.
• 18:42 I'VE BEEN TO ISRAEL MANY TIMES. I JUST CAN'T TELL YOU HOW WARMED I WAS IN THE LAST TRIP
• 18:46 WHEN I WAS THERE. ARMAGEDDON OF ALL PLACES.
• 18:49 IT WAS LIKE "WOW" !
• 18:51 IT REALLY GETS TO YOU.
• 18:52 THESE SITES REALLY GET TO YOU.
• 18:54 THIS REALLY IS ISRAEL.
• 18:56 IT'S REALLY THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE.
• 18:58 THESE ARE THE SIGHTS. THE SEA OF GALILEE, JERUSALEM, ARMAGEDDON. THERE IT IS.
• 19:03 I REMEMBER DRIVING AROUND THERE IN THE JEEP,
• 19:05 I WAS THINKING THAT SO MANY BATTLES HAVE BEEN FOUGHT HERE
• 19:08 AND THERE'S A GREAT ONE TO COME.
• 19:10 RECENTLY WROTE A BOOK, BY THE WAY,
• 19:11 "THE IRANIAN MENACE IN JEWISH HISTORY AND PROPHECY".
• 19:14 YOU MAY WISH TO ACQUIRE IT THROUGH OUR MINISTRY.
• 19:17 BUT YOU CAN JUST READ THE BOOK REVELATION
• 19:21 AND HEAR FROM ACROSS THE EUPHRATES COMES THIS ARMAGEDDON BATTLE.
• 19:24 AND YOU KNOW THAT ARMAGEDDON IS THE PLACE
• 19:26 FOR THIS MAJOR CONFLAGRATION, THIS MAJOR WAR.
• 19:30 AND IT'S SOMETHING I LIKE PEOPLE TO SEE.
• 19:32 I LIKE THEM TO SEE IT BECAUSE IT REALLY GIVES THEM A PICTURE OF REALITY.
• 19:36 IT'S NOT JUST THIS MADE-UP NAME.
• 19:38 ARMAGEDDON IS NOT A MADE-UP NAME.
• 19:40 BUT UNLESS YOU REALLY SEE IT, IT'S KIND OF JUST OUT THERE.
• 19:43 ALL THE BIBLE SITES GALVANIZE UNDERSTANDING
• 19:45 AND THEY CRYSTALLIZE FAITH AND ENCOURAGE AND INSPIRE.
• 19:49 IT'S GOOD. IT'S ALL GOOD. I LOVE IT.
• 19:51 TOMMY ICE IS A FRIEND OF THE MINISTRY.
• 19:54 (Sandra Speaking) FOUNDED THE PRE-TRIB CENTER
• 19:57 AND HE AND ZOLA LOVED TO TALK PROPHECY.
• 19:59 WOULD TALK FOR HOURS ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
• 20:02 WHO'S THE ENEMY? WHO DO WE NEED TO WATCH? WHO'S COMING UP? WHAT COUNTRY'S COMING UP?
• 20:07 I KNOW YOU'LL ENJOY THIS INTERVIEW WITH ZOLA AND TOMMY ICE.
• 20:11 THERE IS NO PLACE
• 20:12 IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD
• 20:14 THAT ISLAM CURRENTLY CONTROLS
• 20:16 THAT WASN'T TAKEN OVER BY FORCE,
• 20:18 INCLUDING SAUDI ARABIA.
• 20:19 THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.
• 20:20 EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT BECAME ISLAMIC
• 20:22 IS BECOMING ISLAMIC THROUGH THE SWORD. YOU GO TO THE SUDAN,
• 20:28 YOU GO TO OTHER PLACES IN AFRICA,
• 20:31 YOU GO TO THE PHILIPPINES AND MALAYSIA.
• 20:34 HOW ARE THEY TAKING OVER THERE?
• 20:35 EVEN IN CERTAIN PARTS OF MEXICO,
• 20:37 I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE AN ISLAMIC VILLAGE,
• 20:40 THEY GO ON A RAIDING PARTY TO THE CHRISTIAN VILLAGE OR THE NEXT VILLAGE OVER
• 20:44 AND THEY KILL 25 OR 30 PEOPLE AND TERRORIZE THEM
• 20:47 AND THE WORD IS PUT OUT THAT YOU NEED TO CONVERT TO ISLAM.
• 20:52 WELL, THEY SEE HOW MANY CONVERT TO ISLAM
• 20:54 AND THEN A LITTLE TIME LATER THEY GO AND WIPE OUT THE VILLAGE.
• 20:57 THAT'S HOW YOU HAD THIS CREEP OF ISLAM THAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
• 21:02 AND YOU HAVE THE SAME SITUATION IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN.
• 21:08 YOU HAVE KASHMIR AND ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF
• 21:10 AND THE INDIANS AT SOME POINT STOOD UP TO THEM.
• 21:14 OTHERWISE, THEY'RE GOING TO
• 21:16 COME AND WIPE YOU OUT
• 21:18 AND TAKE YOU OVER.
• 21:20 AND THIS IS HISTORICALLY HOW ISLAM HAS SPREAD.
• 21:22 NOT TO MENTION THE EVENTS IN THE 7TH CENTURY WHEN ISLAM CAME ON THE SCENE,
• 21:27 HOW MUHAMMAD LOST OUT IN MECCA
• 21:31 AND HE WENT TO MEDINA AND THEN CAME BACK AND HAD A "HOODNA"
• 21:36 AND HE CAME BACK AND KILLED THE LARGELY JEWISH COMMUNITY
• 21:40 IN MECCA, IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
• 21:41 A TEMPORARY CEASE FIRE
• 21:43 FOR THE PURPOSE OF RE-ARMING LIKE THE PALESTINIANS KEEP DOING.
• 21:45 AND THEN WHEN HE DIED A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTED TO MOVE AWAY FROM ISLAM
• 21:50 BUT ONE OF HIS RELATIVES SAID "NO" AND HE PUT THEM ALL UNDER THE SWORD AGAIN.
• 21:54 AND THIS IS THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.
• 21:57 I MEAN, DO YOU THINK THE SPANISH INVITED THEM IN IN THE MIDDLE AGES?
• 22:02 SAID, "COME ON OVER HERE TO SPAIN", OR THE DUTCH EVEN?
• 22:05 NO. THEY SPREAD BY THE SWORD
• 22:08 AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE THE CRESCENT MOON IN THE SWORD,
• 22:11 IN A LOT OF THEIR FLAGS,
• 22:12 AND THEY THINK IT'S A VIRTUE.
• 22:14 (Zola Speaking) IN SAUDI ARABIA THEIR SYMBOL IS TWO CROSSED SWORDS.
• 22:25 ♪(piano playing)♪
• 22:47 ♪(orchestra playing)♪
• 23:04 I REALLY NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO ZOLA'S MUSIC.
• 23:06 HE REALLY WROTE FROM HIS HEART.
• 23:08 HE WOULD ALSO WRITE ACCORDING TO WHAT WAS GOING ON,
• 23:11 SOMETIMES IN THE TIMES THAT WE WERE LIVING IN.
• 23:14 IF IT WAS A BATTLE OR IF IT WAS TO BE WITH ISRAEL,
• 23:18 HE WOULD WRITE MUSIC THAT REALLY REFLECTED HIS THOUGHTS ON ISRAEL.
• 23:22 JEFF, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TEACHING ON DANIEL.
• 23:25 IT'S GETTING KIND OF TOWARD THE END. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW?
• 23:28 WELL, WE ARE PUTTING OUR LANDING GEAR DOWN, KINDA, SORTA.
• 23:30 PROGRAM NUMBER 7 WITH AN 8 PART SERIES.
• 23:33 I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY ZOLA WOULD GET EXCITED.
• 23:36 GOODNESS, YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD AND YOU LOOK AT THE WORD,
• 23:38 YOU BEGIN TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
• 23:40 A LOT OF MINISTERS DON'T DO THAT.
• 23:41 THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THE TIMES.
• 23:43 "IT'S NOT FOR ME."
• 23:44 "I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THAT",
• 23:46 "I JUST NEED TO DO 'FEEL GOOD' THINGS."
• 23:49 RIGHT. AND IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12, VERSE 4, DANIEL IS TOLD,
• 24:01 IT'S INTERESTING TO SAY "SHUT UP THE WORDS UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END."
• 24:04 IT MAY WELL BE THAT IT'S NOT UNTIL THE END WHEN THIS STUFF STARTS TO MAKE SENSE.
• 24:08 BUT AREN'T WE SEEING IT MAKE SENSE?
• 24:11 CLOSER AND CLOSER THE KNOWLEDGE HAS INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY.
• 24:15 I DON'T THINK I CAN EVEN TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES.
• 24:18 RIGHT. KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD IS JUST INCREASING RAPIDLY. RIGHT,RIGHT.
• 24:21 AS IS AN UNDERSTANDING OF UNFOLDING EVENTS IN THE WORLD IN THE MIDDLE EAST
• 24:26 AND GOODNESS, DANIEL SEEMS TO BE COMING ALIVE.
• 24:29 RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.
• 24:31 I LIKE DANIEL, WHAT IT SAYS,
• 24:39 THEY'RE BEING PURIFIED.
• 24:41 THEY'VE GONE INTO THE TRIBULATION AS UNBELIEVERS
• 24:44 BUT THEY WILL BE REFINED.
• 24:45 THEY WILL BE PURIFIED.
• 24:46 BUT THE WICKED WILL CONTINUE TO BE WICKED,
• 24:50 NOTHING CHANGES.
• 24:51 NOTHING CHANGES IN THE TRIBULATION.
• 24:53 GOODNESS AND BAD ALWAYS.
• 25:01 YEAH, THE WAY I PERCEIVE, WE GO INTO THE TRIBULATION PERIOD,
• 25:04 SOME PEOPLE COME TO FAITH. RIGHT.
• 25:06 AND THEY BECOME RIGHTEOUS,
• 25:08 BUT THE WICKED, THEIR WICKEDNESS JUST ESCALATES
• 25:10 AND THEY BRING THE PRESSURE TO BEAR ON THOSE RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE.
• 25:12 ABSOLUTELY, THE THREE AND A HALF YEARS,
• 25:14 THE POINT IT REALLY GOES DOWN.
• 25:17 YES IT DOES.
• 25:19 NOW, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHOSE LIFE MIGHT BE GOING DOWN RIGHT NOW.
• 25:23 AND IF YOU'LL TAKE A MOMENT WHILE THINKING ABOUT THE TEXT
• 25:26 TALKING ABOUT BEING PURIFIED AND REFINED, LET ME SAY THERE'S AN OFFER ON THE TABLE FOR YOU.
• 25:33 WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
• 25:34 SIN LEAVES A RED STAIN ON A GARMENT AND THERE'S NO FULLER'S BLEACH TO GET THAT OUT.
• 25:41 I WANT YOU TO KNOW THERE'S A WAY TO BE RADICALLY TRANSFORMED.
• 25:45 THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT BEING "BORN AGAIN".
• 25:48 I LIKE TO SAY, "IF BEING BORN HASN'T BEEN ALL THAT IT'S BEEN CRACKED UP TO BE,"
• 25:52 "TRY BEING BORN ANEW."
• 25:54 THERE IS A NEW OFFER ON THE TABLE SINCE CALVARY
• 25:56 THAT WOMEN AND MEN CAN REPENT OF THEIR SINS.
• 25:59 THEY CAN ASK JESUS, THE MESSIAH, YESHUA TO COME INTO THEIR HEARTS,
• 26:04 THEY CAN BE BORN ANEW AND REMADE.
• 26:06 AND YOU NEED ONLY TO PRAY AND REACH UP TO HEAVEN AND ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU.
• 26:11 AND THERE'S SO MUCH THAT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU, AND THEN BY VIRUTE OF YOUR SO DOING
• 26:15 YOU CAN BE SPIRITED AWAY AND NOT HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS WORLD
• 26:19 THAT'S CASCADING IN THE MISERIES DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD.
• 26:24 OH, IF YOU WOULD ONLY RESPOND NOW AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DESTINY
• 26:28 AND GET RIGHT WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS.
• 26:31 AMEN. AND AS YOU GO,
• 26:33 "SHA' ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM",
• 26:35 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
