Middle East Updates: The Transition of the Middle East - Israel/America/Iran/Turkey/Lebanon/Syria

Shalom friends. My name is Chadwick Harvey. You have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we go through the battle for Hormuz Strait and also the Middle East updates across the Middle East. There's a lot to get into tonight with mostly every country over there that will tie into the Iran, Israel, and American war. We're going to go through all of that thoroughly and as quickly as we possibly can. Rosh Chodesh, everybody. We hope everybody had a great new moon or new month day yesterday or today and you are enjoying the new month so far. We hope everybody has a good month ahead. But tonight, I think everybody knows that the Iran-Israel-America war has restarted. I think we're all paying attention to that. I think most of the news channels are recording that appropriately, of course, and it's back at war between America and Iran, really. It's just those two right now. So we're going to get into all of these things.

But before we get into the geopolitical analysis, my personal analysis, I think it's responsible anytime we talk about the geopolitics of the Middle East to go to the biblical prophets first. They are going to dictate what goes down in the Middle East, not politicians. The politicians will go along with the biblical prophets at the end of the age. My friends, we are living at the end of the age. That's why we have to understand the players at the end of the age and also the ramifications of these things if we look at it from a biblical perspective and understand what God is doing in the Middle East, and not any politician.

So, my friends, we're going to start out just with a couple verses. We're not going to read the entire verses, but it goes into the book of Daniel. I've mentioned this for about 12 years now that the book of Daniel will carry you through to the end of the age. Daniel in four places in the book of Daniel, it says it's for the end of the age. Nebuchadnezzar's statue dream, most Christians are familiar with that, Jewish people are familiar with that. Most people believe that was Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Cyrus of Persia, and Alexander the Great of Macedonia of the Grecian Empire. Daniel 2:28 would disagree with that. Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that God said, "This is for the latter days." So Nebuchadnezzar's statue dream is for the end of the age, not Nebuchadnezzar, not Cyrus, and not Alexander.

The biblical prophets had a great gift that was given to them by Yahweh. They would prophesy through their day and shortly after, which would be for the end of the age as well. So it's a double fulfillment, if you will. Because Daniel 2:28 says it's for the latter days, the *aḥarit hayamim* in the Hebrew, that means the end. Nebuchadnezzar lived 2500 years ago. So that's not the end of the age. So Daniel 2:28 would disagree with everyone out there who says that those three or four kingdoms came to fruition 2500 years ago, the total fulfillment. We're seeing that right now with Saddam Hussein, the Al-Qaeda, Khamenei, now he's no longer. And now we're seeing Turkey. The third kingdom. We've got to understand what the book of Daniel truly said. So Daniel 2:28 would disagree with anyone who thinks this is for the 2500 years ago with Nebuchadnezzar. It's for the end of the age. And if that is the case, that's what we're seeing right now.

So let's read Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 because it's going to tell you exactly what this empire is going to do. So if you just look at the prophetic understanding of it, just like Daniel said, Babylon first, Medo-Persia, Iran second, Turkey third, not Greece. It would be *Yavan*, which is Turkey, and then those three will be a conglomerate empire for the beast kingdom. So my friends, you have seen that since 2003. You've seen Saddam Hussein of Babylon, the Babylonian Empire. That's where Babylon was, was Iraq. It fell in 2003. So if we're living at the end of the age, and Daniel 2:28 says it's for the end of the age, and Daniel said that the Babylonian Empire will rise again at the end, then you have to put Saddam Hussein there. He was a very powerful guy, a very powerful country over there. That's why America got him out of the way in 2003.

Well, Daniel said the next kingdom would be Persia, Iran, at the end of the age. So, we're just going to focus on those two right now because you've seen Iraq fall in '03. And ever since that time, Iran has been the superpower, regional power over in the Middle East. That should be pretty obvious to anyone who keeps up with geopolitics. Most Americans don't understand this. They think Persia is just some terrorist organization, which they are, but a terrorist organization and they're nothing, kind of like Hamas or Hezbollah. And that is not correct. These are the Persians, the old-time Persians, the people of Persia, for 2500 years ago. So this is not Hamas or Hezbollah or Venezuela or any of these people that I mean, goodness, we can't even beat Hamas and Hezbollah. So again, Iran is Persia in the Bible, and we've got to look at it from the perspective of the book of Daniel and also the other biblical prophets.

So let's go to Daniel 7. Daniel 7 has four kingdoms, just like Daniel 2, that will rise to power at the end of the age. It's the sister chapters. It's the same thing. Just two witnesses will establish the matter. Look what Daniel 7, verse 5 says about Iran, Persia, the bear: "And suddenly another beast, a second like a bear. It was raised up on one side and had three ribs in its mouth. And they said to it, 'Arise and devour much flesh.'" So my friends, we are all familiar where Iran is. I'll show you guys this on our map here. Daniel says that the bear is going to rise and he's going to eat much flesh. That's what Iran's going to do. Whether people like it or not, that's what Daniel 7 says. It's for the end of the age. And that's what you're seeing right now is Iran in the last 23 years. Iran has spread its antennas across the Middle East with terror, with the Houthis, with Hamas. I'll kind of show you where those are if you're not familiar with it. The Houthis are down here in Yemen. Hezbollah is in southern Lebanon, and Hamas is in Gaza. They are proxies of Iran. So they have devoured much flesh. I think we can all agree with that in the last 23 years. Iran's been the big dog over there with terrorism. After Iraq fell in '03, Iran basically had major influence in that country. I mean, goodness, the prime minister Sudani, who just got ousted by the new prime minister, he was Shia. I think they have about, they have a mostly Shia population in Iraq.

But my friends, you can't go against biblical prophecy. I love America. I love the state of Israel. I love the soldiers. I love everybody. The bottom line is, is biblical prophecy is biblical prophecy. And these guys are going against biblical prophecy. Which means that's why you're seeing what you're seeing for the last six months. Is because people think that America can do all these things, and we cannot do these things for many, many reasons. Number one, God's not going to allow America to beat the beast kingdom. That's not what He's going to do. Not America. So we've got to get away from some of this American pride, American ego, American dominance, and all of these things, because Yeshua is going to do this. Jesus is going to do this. So all of my Christian friends, all of my Jewish friends, even though you don't believe in Yeshua, most of you, you have to understand the Jewish Messiah is going to be the Islamist, not any other nation on the face of this earth, including America. I think that has been proven over six months. And you'll only see that go further down the line if America is not careful with this. It will ruin the American empire for good if we're not careful. We'll get more into the statistics of these things that we're seeing that makes it so mind-boggling about what we are going to do.

So my friends, you saw it in Daniel 7. Don't take my word for it. Read the book of Daniel. Daniel says in four chapters that this is for the end of the age, everybody. Daniel 2:28. Daniel 7 is a sequence of kingdoms, four kingdoms, and then the return of the Messiah. He's going to crush them all together, all the Islamists. And then we have Daniel 8, which we're about to read, 17-20, that says this is for the end of the age three times. Daniel 10, which is what you're seeing now with Israel and Iran, the kingdom of Persia. The angel was fighting the kingdom of Persia for 21 days, round one, and then round two happened. And then he says *Yavan*'s coming next. And he says in verse 14, "This is for the *aḥarit hayamim*, the end of the age, the latter days." Four places in Daniel. He says, "This book is for the end, everybody. The kingdoms are for the end." Daniel 12:4, what does it say? "Seal your book, Daniel. Seal it until when?" Nebuchadnezzar's time? After that? No, until the end of the age, the latter days.

So, my friends, these four kingdoms you're seeing right in front of your eyes. And right now, I think it's pretty obvious. You're seeing the Iranian kingdom, the Persian kingdom, that was prophesied by the prophet Daniel. And no one is going to beat that kingdom except for what is mentioned in Daniel 8. So we're going to go through this really quick, just a few verses to let everybody know what's about to go down. Daniel 8, 1-7, it says this right here, excuse me: "In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that appeared to me the first time. I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking that I was in Susa, the citadel, which is in the province of Ilam." I'm going through this prophecy for a reason because when we get to the geopolitics, you're going to see some amazing things of what's going on in Ilam right now with oil pipelines and all of these things that are going to go into all of these things with the prophets. So he was in Susa, Ilam. Let me show you where that is so you can get a picture of this. He was right here, my friends. Daniel was in the province of Ilam. And let me show you where that is. That's right here in southwest Iran, you know, right in this area right here. So keep just keep that in mind as we look at the geopolitics about he saw the vision right here. That's where Daniel was.

All right. So as we continue the vision, he was in Susa, the citadel, which is in the province of Ilam. And I saw in the vision I was by the river Ulai. Which basically runs on the borderline of Iraq and Iran. Then I lifted my eyes and I saw there standing beside the river was a ram with two horns. And the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the other, the higher one, came up last. I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal, no kingdom could withstand him, nor was there any that could deliver him from his hand. But he did according to his will and he became great. So just remember that the ram did whatever he wanted to do and he became great because of the authority that God gave them.

Verse 5: "And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west across the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between its eyes. And then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power. And I saw him confronting the ram, and he was moved with rage against him. He attacked the ram, broke his two horns, and there was no power in the ram to withstand the goat, but he cast him down to the ground. He trampled him, and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand."

So my friends, this is all symbolism that the prophet Daniel gave us. He gave two beasts that were going to rise to power in the Middle East. And we're about to see who he says those are. The ram was going to rise first, and it was going to do its thing north, south, and westward. No kingdom was going to get in its way. It had the authority by God to do what it was going to do. And then suddenly, as it got to its climax of its empire, the goat rises up in the west of the biblical world, not America, the biblical world. And then he came and he crushed the ram, stomped him, trampled him. There was no power in the ram to withstand the goat's hand.

So Daniel tells us at the end of, or we're about to see this, that we're about to see two great powers in the Middle East lock horns for supremacy of the Middle East. So now let's forward and see when this prophecy will happen and who these two players are. In verse 17 of Daniel 8: "So he came near where I stood, and when he came, I was afraid and I fell on my face. But he said to me, 'Daniel, understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the *aḥarit hayamim*, the end of the age, the latter days, not in Nebuchadnezzar's time, not in Cyrus's time, not in Alexander's time.'" Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground. But he touched me and he stood me upright and he said, "Look, I'm making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the nation. For at the appointed time, the end shall be."

So again, three times, my friends, Daniel says that the entire vision, not separated, not divided, not do whatever, the entire vision is for the end of the age. Most people put Alexander the Great in this because Alexander crushed Persia. And they put the large horn was, excuse me, Alexander, and then the little horn in the rest of Daniel 8 is Antiochus Epiphanes. So that's what some of the historians will say, and they're just wrong because they're not reading Daniel 8:17-20 at the end of the age, not 2500 years ago, not Alexander the Great. How great he was, it is that's not what Daniel's speaking of. Daniel's speaking of *Yavan*. And we've got to understand this.

So, this is for two kingdoms at the end of the age for supremacy of the Middle East. This will be the transition between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7's four kingdoms, which is the second kingdom to the third kingdom. And we're about to see who Daniel confirms these two empires are. As we look into verse 20: "The ram which you saw having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes is its first king."

So my friends, he tells you right there, number one, it's for the end of the age. Number two, Persia, Iran, the Medes are the Kurds of today, the Kurdish people are the Medes. And just really think about Persia. Persia is the big boy, the large horn, the bigger horn, the higher horn. Persia, Iran is the superpower that Daniel is speaking of as the ram that was going to go north, west, and south and do what he pleases. No one was going to come against him. And I think we can agree that that's come into play, and we might not have seen the end of this. But as he was considering these things, then the goat comes over there, which is *Yavan*. Greece is a mistranslation. If you go to the Hebrew language, Greece is a mistranslation. The English writers translators put Greece in there because of Alexander the Great. Because everybody thinks this is all history. Daniel is a prophet, my friends, not a historian. Please understand that. He's not a historian. He's a prophet for the end of the age. His prophecies say that, and this one does as well. So this is not about Alexander the Great. This is about the large horn. And in this case, if it continues to go down this road, that would be President Erdogan of Turkey, because *Yavan* is on the western coast of Turkey. Just where Yeshua said Pergamus, Turkey, is where Satan's throne is and where he dwells. Present tense language. I don't care if they move the throne to Berlin or not. The spirit of Satan's throne and where he dwells is in western Turkey, Pergamus, Turkey, Turkey at the church of Pergamus in Revelation 2:12-13. Just take it from what Yeshua says. And then go back to Daniel. Because that's what he was saying about Daniel. Go read this prophet and understand the trajectory of these four kingdoms.

So again, we have at the end of the age, we have Iran that's going to rise up and they're going to go northward, southward, and westward and do their thing. And just like it says, no one was going to get in their way. Let's read it and see what the prophet prophesied. Look at what it says in verse 4: "I saw a ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal or kingdom could withstand him, nor was there any that could deliver from his hand. But he did according to his will, and he, Iran, became great." And as I was considering Iran, suddenly Turkey came from the west of the biblical world across the whole surface of the whole biblical earth, not America, without touching the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between its eyes. That's not talking about Donald Trump. It's talking about Erdogan in my opinion, if we're on that consistent level of the prophecy. Then he came to the ram with two horns that had been standing beside the river Ulai in Ilam and ran at him with furious power. Turkey will, and I saw Turkey confronting Iran, and he was moved with rage against him. Attacked Iran, broke his two horns, Media and Persia or Kurds in Iran, and there was no power in the ram to withstand Turkey. Iran, excuse me, but Turkey cast Iran to the ground, trampled him, and there was no one that could deliver Iran from Turkey's hand. And then it says, "This is for the end of the age." And then he tells you who exactly these folks are. But you've got to do your research, my friends. You've got to go back into the Hebrew to understand the translations sometimes in the English are wrong. And in this case, it's very wrong. So, we've got to really understand what's going down. Most geopolitical people, most military commanders, you name it, will tell you Turkey is coming. Just mark it down. Mark it down that Turkey is coming hardcore. And they're going to rule the Middle East, and then turn into the beast kingdom with all these other countries. Please understand this is where that's going. Just read the rest of Daniel 8. I just read you a portion of it to prove to you what's going down.

So now let's look at today. Now that you've read the prophecy, it's for the end of the age. How many Christians are saying this is the end of the age? Most of them. How many Jewish people believe this is the end of the age? Some of them, especially in Israel, they're trying to do their part in that. So we have to realize and understand that most believers and even the Jewish people, even the Islamists, they believe in the seven years as well on their own religion. Everybody's looking for the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua, or the Mahdi. All three religions, Islam, the Mahdi, the Antichrist, what we call him, we're looking for Yeshua. And then I guess the Jewish people are looking for their Jewish Messiah, which is Yeshua. So we've got to understand everybody's mindset is for the end. So read Daniel 8 for the end. And you have seen these four kingdoms of Daniel 2 and 7 come exactly down the road. And when Turkey takes over the Middle East, no one's going to be able to debate this because that's three in a row that Daniel has said was going to come at the end of the age.

So with that being said, if Iran's going to become great and they're going to go northward, southward, and westward, no one, no, I mean, read it for yourself. No one's going to get in their way. Read what Daniel 8:4 says: "pushing northward, southward, and westward. No kingdom or animal could withstand Iran, nor was there any that could deliver from Iran's hand. He did according to his will and he became great." That is the prophet Daniel of the word of God. Everybody, I know the Americans might have a hard time with that, but that is the word of God through the prophet, through the angel Gabriel, that prophesied this. And we've got to get our American pride down. We've got to get our egos down. Israel as well to understand it's just not our time yet. I think that's pretty obvious when you read the Bible. It's not our time yet. Now is the time of repentance. For America and Israel, and Iran and the Middle East and the whole world, because this world, and we're going to get into this, is about to go down to some heavy, heavy stuff. And we're going to get into that. This is not a spirit of fear. This is not any of that. This is to open our eyes and look what's going down. The problem I've got, I'll be honest with you guys, is not the politicians. The problem I've got is the believers and the Jewish people who are blinded, who cannot see anything right now other than politicians. That's the problem that I have with people. And I say that, but at the same time, it's getting very serious. And I see a lot of destruction going on in the Middle East. There's no one that's going to win this. Everybody, there's only degrees of losing. As I've said even before this war started, degrees of losing is what this is for all parties. And if God told Daniel that Iran was going to become great, they're going to become great. And I don't know who didn't think they weren't great. I've been trying to tell everybody who they were over in the Middle East. I've tried to tell people for 12 years, you don't want to go over there and mess with these Islamists, man. You're fighting against biblical prophecy. Do you think God's going to give America the victory over Afghanistan or Iraq or Syria or anybody? No. Because they're in the beast kingdom. Why would He allow America or any foreign nation to take His credit, to take His authority, to take His job on this earth is to redeem the Jewish people? So many people believe America's the eagle, which is, I say this in love because there's some good people who believe that, but they're deceived. And it's really blasphemy when you think about it, because God is the eagle, not a pagan nation that America is right now. Aborting babies, homosexuality, transgender, sexual, you name it. Corrupt government. I mean, just look around at America. You think He's going to give America the victory with this kind of stuff? Of course not. So, we've got to get realistic and not into the reality show of this world. And that's where we are. These worldly leaders, every one of them are leading you one place only, man. One place only. And that is to the very end of the age, which is fine with me. But Christians and Jews that are political can't see this. And they think everything's grand. They don't know what time it is. And they've got to wake up and realize what Daniel has said, what Jeremiah has said, what Moses has said, what Yeshua has said. Goodness, Yeshua said it's going to be rough at the end of the age. Not live your best life. Ain't life grand? No. I mean, that's why people have no clue what's about to happen to this world. And again, I think we're going to get more into it to show people this is no bueno what we're doing over there. It hasn't been no bueno for 25 years. Americans, how's that going for you? $40 trillion in debt and climbing. Climbing. You're about to have a global oil crisis. You haven't seen nothing yet. Give the president and Congress credit for manipulating all this stuff, but you can only manipulate it so much. There's a lot of pain coming to the United States of America, my friends. You might not want to hear that right now, but when it happens, I hope you do remember this because it's going to happen. You know, we're about to pay, like Netanyahu likes to say, a heavy price for what we've done over there because we're out of alignment with the biblical prophets. We're out of alignment with the Lord. Well, we're not, but we're out of alignment with the right understanding of it. He's going to take America out of the way. Why would He do that? Because He wants to deal with the Middle East Himself. He wants to deal with Israel Himself. He wants to take America's protection away from the Middle East. This is not a knock on America. America has been a good ally to most people over there, with supporting them, securing them, Saudi Arabia, Israel, you name it. The brothers, right? Think about it. Jordan, Esau, Ishmael, Arabia, and Isaac or Jacob, whichever one you want to call Israel. But we have supported the brothers over there for decades. We've supported Egypt. We've kind of put everything, I mean, give America credit where credit's due. Now it's different. We're at the end of the age. America, get out and let God deal with the Middle East. And He's going to deal with it. He was not going to have America's protection over the Middle East, if you can receive that. Why would He? He wants to deal with the people because most of the people are unbelievers. Most of the people in Israel are unbelievers. Most of the people in the Middle East, of course, are unbelievers. 500 million Muslims. So, He loves the Middle East. He loves Israel, Jacob. He loves the promised land. He loves Iraq. He loves Iran. He loves Persia. And but He's going to deal with them. He is. So, we've got to really understand what's going down, that no one can do what the Jewish Messiah is going to do. And we think or we don't think we're the Jewish Messiah, the Jewish Messiah. I hope not. But everybody thinks that America is this great eagle that's going to go save the Jewish people. That is absolute idolatry when you think about it. Idolatry. America's not. How is that going, by the way? We have proven we can't protect anybody. And I'm not criticizing America, I'm just saying it's just time to move forward. With the end of the age, and America's going to have to get out, because we have proven we cannot protect the Gulf nations, we cannot protect America, protect Israel, we can't open the Hormuz Strait. What are we going to try now? Won't work either. So, we've got to understand where we are and hopefully the president and hopefully the administration will recognize that somebody will enlighten the president on the biblical prophet Daniel. We've got a lot of Christians up there from what I hear. I don't see that, but they say they're Christians. They've got a lot of Jewish people out there who are observant Jews. Well, let's go to the prophet Daniel and let's educate the Trump and the administration on what the prophet did say, because this will only end badly for America and badly for Israel and ultimately badly for Iran once Yeshua gets, once Turkey gets a hold of them, just like the prophecy says.

So my friends, I always believe that it's responsible to go through the biblical prophets first. And Daniel, Jeremiah, Moses, Yeshua, they will correct me. They'll correct you. They'll correct every political position out there to get in alignment with them. Understand it from their facade. Biblical prophets are going to override the modern-day political system. The geopolitics will go with the prophets, not the other way around. Not America, not Israel, not Trump, not Netanyahu. I don't care who it is. They're going to go with the prophet Daniel. And if they don't, they will get embarrassed. And that's right where we are about to be, my friends. If you look at all of the stats, all of the figures, and you quit listening to the politicians, including the presidents and the prime ministers. And when I say that, 25 years of presidents, 25 years of Bibi Netanyahu speaking it out, and you are $40 trillion dollars in debt, America. And you have lost a lot of economic power, a lot of military power over in the Middle East. We have been declining as a superpower for years. I mean, I did a video in 2022 that this *shmita* cycle, '22 to '29, you could see the collapse of the American empire. I'm not predicting. Let's just keep watching. And if we keep going making the same stupid mistakes that we've done for 25 years, then yeah, you will collapse. God is going to judge America for this. Please understand that. He's going to judge us for this stuff. You can't go over there and do what we've done and think, "Okay, God's going to give us a pass." No passes when you kill two million civilians over in the Middle East over 25 years. No pass when you kill 170 Iranian schoolgirls when you shouldn't have. And even if you did make a mistake, just repent. Just say, "Hey, that was a mistake. That's our fault." This administration cannot do that. So we've got to, or previous administrations either cannot do that. Four administrations in a row cannot tell the Middle Eastern people, "Hey, you know what? We've killed too many civilians. We're bad. We don't have that heart posture. We don't have any of that posture." So again, when you intentionally kill innocent civilians, that is called murder in the Bible. Period. I don't care what your ratio is, the 5:1, one to five, whatever. Go read the Holy Bible and understand that.

So again, my friends, we have got a journey ahead of us. And now we'll go through the Middle East updates, but we need to understand it because what I'm going to say is going to upset, I'm sure, a lot of American citizens because they don't understand the Bible. They don't understand the book of Daniel. They don't understand what time it is. This is not about the great American empire being great right now. No, we're on the decline right now because God is dealing with the world. He's dealing with the Middle East for sure. And Europe and America is going to get out, and also Russia as well. And Russia is out, and Europe is pretty much out. And now we're going to see America slowly get out as well, or fastly, depending on how fast or slow this goes with the Iran war. So again, that is the prophet Daniel, my friends. And let me remind everybody before we click off of the prophet, look at how Daniel felt at this prophecy because when you keep on going through the prophecy, it comes to Jerusalem. So when you read Daniel 8, it'll take you from Iran being the superpower all the way to the second coming events because it's an end-of-the-age story. So we've got to understand you're in that trajectory, and nothing is going to stop it now. Nothing will stop these kingdoms now. No one will. It's only going to escalate. Escalate. Why? Because in Daniel 7, Turkey is called the leopard. In Daniel 7, Iran's the bear. Think about the animals. A bear is a slower moving animal. 23 years of dominating the Middle East, causing terror all over the place. Persia has. The leopard's different. A leopard is a quick, swift, raging predator. And he is about to pounce all over the Middle East, including Iran.

So let's look at how Daniel felt after he saw Iran become great. After he saw Turkey become great, after he saw Turkey break into four kingdoms, after he saw the little horn or the Antichrist or Nebuchadnezzar rise up again to go against Jerusalem, and then he saw the second coming events. So Daniel 8 will take you to the return of the Messiah. But look how Daniel felt in verse 27 here: "And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days. Afterward, I rose and went about the king's business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it." My friends, Daniel didn't feel good about these things. We've got to understand, he's the one who got the vision, not me, not you, not anybody else. He got it. And he was sick to his stomach. He was sick for days. Fainted. Go read Daniel 10. No strength left in him. I mean, this is not peaches and cream of what we're about to see. On our side, and that's what I keep telling everybody, on our side, our side is going to be judged tremendously. And then Yeshua will deal with the Islamists, you know, just like the Bible says. So again, remember that Daniel didn't feel great about this stuff. He felt horrible about what was going to come to his people because he loved God and he loved the people. Again, the two great commandments, just like Moses, just like Jeremiah, Daniel as well. Daniel loved God and he loved his people. And he was warning his people about this right here. He also says in Daniel 8, and I know the Israelis might not like this or the Jewish people, but this is what the prophet, the Jewish prophet said in Daniel 8 at the end of the chapter. Daniel 8 says, "The pride of the people, the Israelis, will be broken." And that's where we are today. We've got too much pride going on in Israel. We've got too much pride going on in America. And God's dealing with these two nations. Go read Isaiah 30-31. Go read Jeremiah 2. Go read Hosea 4 and 5. God does not want Israel to keep calling on America to come save them. "Come save us. Come save us. Come handle Iran. Come bomb the nuclear site. Come do this." God is against that. Americans don't understand that. Christians don't understand that. He wants to do that for them, not a foreign nation. He wants to do that with them. Not Egypt, not Assyria, not America, not Europe, not Russia, not no one. He wants to do it. He's called the Commander of the Lord's armies. Not America, not Russia, not Europe. And the Israeli government is wrong by always. I mean, Netanyahu is coming back over here next week. It's almost like God knows my heart with the promised land. Israel looks like the 51st state is what they look like. With Netanyahu's coming back over, coming back, more money, more bombs, more money. God is against that. He's against that. Go read it and weep, everybody. Isaiah 30:31, Jeremiah 2, and Hosea 4 and 5. If He was against Israel going to Egypt and Assyria for weapons and kingdoms and horses and all this stuff to fight Nebuchadnezzar, He's against it now. And what happened? I've said this many times. What happened? Nebuchadnezzar rocked Assyria. He got rid of Israel's idol in the north, Assyria. Get out. And then Nebuchadnezzar crushed Israel's idol in the south, which was Egypt's horses and weapons and all these things to save us from Nebuchadnezzar. And now go read Jeremiah and see what happened.

So, my friends, this is a serious time. This isn't a time for, you know, all this craziness and all this light stuff. This is serious. If you love people, if you love the Jewish people, if you love the Israelis, now they might not think this is love, but the prophets will say even worse of what we're talking about. Go read what Moses said. Go read Jeremiah. And good night, if that doesn't get your hairs standing up and the Holy Spirit upon you, then I don't know what will. And again, we've got a lot of people who are just deceived right now.

So, my friends, it all starts with these guys, the biblical prophets. And that's why I don't pay attention to any of these people just talking, politicians talking, because they're going to be in alignment with Daniel. They're going to be in alignment with Jeremiah. That's for sure. Because we're living at the end of the age. With that mindset in play, let's look at the Middle East map and we'll look at some of these things. We've got a lot to talk about, but we will begin with the Iran situation, obviously, and then it will just expand northward, southward, and westward as we go across the Middle East. But my friends, right now, according to the book of Daniel, you are living in the Iranian Persian, second kingdom of Daniel's prophecies. Daniel 2, the second kingdom, the silver. Daniel 7, the bear. Daniel 8, the ram. Daniel 10, the archangel was fighting the kingdom of Persia. I mean, hello, everybody. So, again, that's where we are. You're seeing it right in front of your eyes. Totally amazing. These prophecies were written 2500 years ago, everybody. And we are able to witness these things as the end-time remnant. And our job as the end-time remnant is not to pacify everybody and give, "Ain't life grand? Christians, you're doing great. Jewish people, you don't need Yeshua." Oh, dual covenant, all this crap. No, it's time to get to the gospel, to the great commission, and that will offend everybody. It will offend everybody, just like it offended the true gospel. Now, all this other false gospel, everybody loves it. The true gospel will offend everybody. Just please understand that. What is that? Yeshua, Holy Spirit, and keep His commandments. That's where the fault is, the commandments. That's what gets everybody upset because everybody's rebellious. But the commandments will offend everybody. Let him be offended because that's what it is all about. To know Yeshua is to love Him and keep His commandments, just like John 14:15 says, and really throughout the entire gospel account.

So as we look at the Middle East, my friends, with that in mind, with the Persia Empire as the big dog, knowing that Turkey is the only one that's going to rock them, what I find very interesting before we get to the Iran situation is what President Trump said. President Trump a couple weeks ago, I'll lose track of time. It could have been a week ago, 10 days ago, but a little back a while ago, seven to 10 days ago, he said that Israel could not beat Hezbollah up basically, and that he was going to get Syria involved, Erdogan involved, the terrorists involved. So, if you're not familiar with this, let me set this up. So, in about two years ago, Turkey used Erdogan, the president of Syria, to invade Syria and they got rid of Bashar al-Assad. They've been trying to get rid of this guy since Obama. So we have to, they've been trying to get rid of these people since that time. So finally, Turkey with this guy, who was a former terrorist with Al-Qaeda, ISIS, you know, he went to Saudi Arabia, met with Trump, met with MBS, Muhammad bin Salman, went to the White House, Trump sprayed some cologne on him from the Trump cologne, and I guess he's clean and he's good. So I guess he still took killing Christians and Alawites and all these things. So, anyhow, that's beside the point here tonight. But anyhow, just an interesting fact, but I believe he's going to get Syria involved, and that means he's going to get Turkey involved. Syria can't do anything without Turkey right now, period. I think Trump would say that. I think everybody would say that who's dealing with the Middle East. Turkey runs Syria. Please know that.

So when you look at it, let me try to expand the map a little bit so we can see it in a little more of an up-close bird's-eye view. But when we look at what's happened here two years ago, Turkey has changed the geographical map to a certain degree. Remember, we're in the Iranian kingdom, the Persian kingdom, according to Daniel, the book of Daniel. Now, Russia had very big influence in Syria. I think that's pretty common for who keeps up with it. Now, Russia is out of Syria. And they really just sponsor Iran right now more than anything. So they've been kind of run out of Syria by Turkey using Erdogan, the president, to overtake Assad. So, look how close they are to Lebanon. Very close. Damascus is right there. I've been, most people who've been to Israel have been to the Golan Heights. And if you're familiar with the Golan, then you are about, I think about 30 to 45 minutes from Damascus. I mean, it's a small country, area over there. My friends, it's not a large area. So Damascus to Beirut is not far at all. I mean, a couple hours maybe, you know, over there. So Hezbollah is right in this southern area. That's where they are. The Litani River that you hear mentioned is somewhere around, where's Tyre at? Let me see where Tyre is and I can locate it. It's not probably. So where you see Tyre right here, that's in the biblical prophets. The river runs about right here, and then it kind of goes with a staff shape, a shepherd staff shape, you know, up north. It goes across the country and then up north through that *Nabatay*. So that's where the IDF has been. They've secured some of the land over there, etc. And that's been part of the problem with the peace agreement or the ceasefire with Iran is southern Lebanon.

So again, Trump himself said that. You can look this up on YouTube or on the news or whatever that he believes that he wants to get Syria involved with this. So if he gets Syria involved in this, then my friends, he's getting Turkey involved in this because Turkey has, I think 500, I think. Don't quote me on this, but they have hundreds of planes in Syria right now. They have air bases in Syria right now. Syria is a proxy state for Turkey. And we need to really understand that. It used to be a proxy for Iran. But Iran was run out of Syria by Turkey. And that's why you're seeing some of this going down as you're seeing today. And there's more to get into. So it is prophecy, but prophecy, the oil pipelines, the geopolitical pipeline, all that's going to matter with biblical prophecy, but I'm just trying to show you that I believe that he is going to allow Turkey to get involved with this. I've said this all along, that if I was, which I'm not, and I wouldn't be into politics anyhow, but if I was in Trump's cabinet, I would tell him to get Turkey involved. Why? They have a million-man army. They have the superior drone technology of the world, and they're fresh. They haven't been fighting war for 25 years like we have, 6,000 miles from home. So it just makes common sense. So I do believe in my opinion that he is going to bring Erdogan involved. When I say Erdogan, Syria involved. Remember they have a good relationship. NATO partners who's at the White House a couple weeks ago or whatever. They want to get F-35s. Trump released some of the engines that they needed for their other planes as well. So you're seeing him balance the power shift in the Middle East like we've always said that he would. Again, this is not a criticism. This is just what he's going to do and what he is doing because he is seeing that there you're not going to get any victories over there. America and Israel has had zero victories in the Middle East in 25 years. No one can show any of us a victory that America or Israel has gotten in 25 years. Trump is smart enough to recognize that. I hope and I think so. We have to really understand that America's being out of the Middle East. In fact, I saw a report today, and let me make sure I'm telling you guys correct on this. I took a picture of it, that Trump met with the Iraqi prime minister at the White House, and it says that all US forces in Iraq will withdraw from Iraq by September 30th, everybody. That is huge. For many reasons. Why is that huge for many reasons? Is because once we withdraw from Iraq, which I think is a smart move, by the way. I think that is a brilliant move. That is smart that Trump is doing this to get our people out of the Middle East. Goodness gracious, we've been over there way too long. So let's get out of there and let if these people want to fight, let them fight. That's what I say. If they want to fight, let them fight. But don't include our soldiers involved in that, looking like mercenaries over there. Let's get our soldiers back home and protect our land, get our economy right instead of trying to fight the Islamists, because again, no one's going to do that but Yeshua and win. I'm not saying don't kill terrorists. I'm not saying none of that. I'm just saying 25 years of zero victories, $40 trillion in debt. Not all because of the war. Well, it is because of judgment, but about 10 to 12 trillion in the war of the civilians of the Middle East. So, that's what I personally believe, my friends.

You're seeing a couple of things to think about in this. Number one, has Iran reached their full authority in Daniel? That's question number one. And I'm not sure, to be quite frank with you. I've always thought, and I'll tell you my honest opinion. I've said this many times that I thought that when it says going northward, southward, and westward, that that was the proxies, right? That was the Houthi rebels coming against Israel, Hezbollah coming against Israel, Hamas coming against Israel, three proxy groups. And okay, maybe he's talking about that. I never thought that it would be a ground invasion northward, southward, and westward. I don't think Turkey would allow that to happen, and Turkey would crush them. With that being said, no one's been able to stop Iran so far. We haven't been able to stop their missile program, is what I'm talking about. The Navy, the Air Force, what Trump keeps talking about, that's not really their power points. Their power points are the missile program and the Hormuz Strait. They don't even need a nuclear weapon. They've got the Hormuz Strait that will ruin the whole global economy if we're not careful. So again, those we have to really understand that that's just facts. I know that might not sit well with Americans or Israelis, but show me otherwise. Show me the facts on the ground to this point right now. Right now, they're firing missiles in the Gulf nations. They're firing missiles in Jordan. So we've got to understand what they're doing. The Shia Iraqi militias are rising up in Iraq right now. So yes, I think that is a very wise move of President Trump to get our troops out of there. Let these people fight, man. If that's what they want to do, I pray for them. I pray they come to Yeshua. But good gosh, if they hate each other that much, let them fight, is what I say.

So when you look at the Middle East, and if we can look at it from that standpoint, that Iran is the superpower of the Middle East according to the prophet Daniel, then Turkey will come and take care of them. And what you're seeing, my friends, through the American government and also with the geopolitics, you're seeing Turkey having more influence over this process. Even in the border of peace, my friends, in Egypt, remember that Turkey pulled the card that didn't allow Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, to go to Egypt. I've told this story before that they were doing the border of peace or the ceasefire agreement with Hamas and Israel in Egypt, and they had all these leaders over there. Erdogan was over the Red Sea flying. Netanyahu was supposed to be invited by El-Sisi and Trump, and Erdogan got wind of it. He called Trump above the Mediterranean. He said, "I'm not coming if he comes." Who showed up and who didn't? Erdogan showed up. Netanyahu did not. So again, I'm just trying to tell everybody that he's not going to be anti-Israel. He's just going to be the art of the deal. He's going to put this thing together, and he's going to make it very balanced, and ultimately, I do think he's going to try to get peace in the region. Like I do believe if his chains weren't being jerked all over the place, I think that's probably what he would try to do now. But again, we'll see what happens with Donald, as we never know what he will do. But my friends, you're seeing that if Iran's the superpower right now, have they gone westward, northward, and southward to fulfill this prophecy? We're just going to have to wait and see. I mean, I can make the case that again, the three proxy groups fulfilled that. But at the same time, that couldn't be the fulfillment either. They could go on this march northward, southward, and westward. Could their missile program be northward, westward, and southward, which it has been? The Gulf nations, go look at them. Go look at Israel. Go look at what even in Turkey, they fired a couple of missiles at Turkey, and the NATO defense systems had to shoot them down. So again, my friends, we'll have to see. But just understand that you are fighting a regional superpower that the biblical prophet Daniel has warned everybody about in the Middle East that was going to be the superpower until Turkey goes over there and crushes them. And they will. And if you look at it from that standpoint, before we focus back on Iran for a minute and go through some of the inside political geopolitical understandings, when you look at the geopolitical understanding of that, Turkey has already made their move with Syria. They've got major influence in Libya, major influence in Sudan, Somalia, of course, Iraq, northern Iraq, Turkmenistan, Pakistan. They've got a defense agreement with their nuclear nation. They've got better relations with Saudi Arabia. Better relations with Egypt right now. So you tell me, good relations with Lebanon right now. So if I can say this and you're willing to receive this, that if Trump did allow Erdogan to do his thing, he could almost put together the beast kingdom. Not saying that he's going to do that. I'm just saying you can kind of see it starting to form with all of these Sunni nations. And I'll say this, and you can look this up as well, that recently, and this was about a couple months ago, that Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, and Arabia, four major Sunni powers have come with a defense pact. That is major in biblical prophecy, everybody. That four major Sunni Islamist nations have come together for this. Egypt, Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey. Why is that important? Well, number one, that is important because Saudi Arabia has the money. Turkey has the army and the drones, and Pakistan has the nuclear weapon. Think about that. So they've got all categories sewed up in this little four-country pact right now with Arabia, the money, Pakistan, the nuclear weapon, Turkey, the million-man army and the drones and technology, the power, and Egypt has about a half a million army as well. And so you guys tell me, we're starting to see this kind of form, so to speak, into not such a good situation for the Israelis.

So now let's look at Iran. I want to talk about Iran a little bit just to show everybody because I think everybody understands right now that Iran, we are back at war with them. And we'll see how much that is in detail, whatever. You can just never know with the way the president negotiates and the way the president talks. It's always double-minded, if you will, unstable, double-minded. So they call it the art of the deal, but it's not going to work on Iran. It might work in real estate, but it will not work on Iran because of biblical prophecy. So we have to understand that. So when we look at Iran, we all know that the funeral that they had. I'm trying to make a point with what we're facing here. If they want to do ground troops, if they want to do all of these things, because I don't hear any of this from the American government. I hear it from a lot of other analysts, but I don't hear it from the American government. And I'll just give an example of this. So the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, evil guy, I'm not for him at all. I've written books about him for 12 years about how evil he is, spreading his antennas out there. So again, just know that. With that being said, this man was a leader of a Shiite religion, a Muslim religion that has 250 million Shiites in the world. So this is like on their scale, on a smaller scale. This is like someone killing the Pope of the Catholics on the Shia Islamist side. Again, lower scale. Two billion Catholics, but only 250 million Shiites. So a smaller scale, but just to let everybody understand that this guy was not in America, but over in the Middle East, Islamist, he was respected. He was a spiritual leader over there. We have to understand that Iran is 98% Muslim. Think about that. 98% Muslim. 90% of those Muslims are Shia. So there's 90 million Iranians over there. 90% of them are Shia. So again, just do the math, everybody. So if you're not familiar with the Shia religion, their religion will call the regular people to arms because of the end of the world, the end of the age, and they'll go kill Jewish people and all this stuff. So it's called the 12th Imam religion. Even your mayor of New York is a 12th Imam guy, whatever his name is. Congratulations, New York. Keep up the bad work. But anyhow, we've got to understand this. And I don't think people talking about ground troops and all this stuff. You're not only dealing with the IRGC. You're not only dealing with the Iranian government because there's two different governments, two different armies, excuse me. There's the Iranian army and the IRGC army, which is the bad boys. The IRGC Navy, and then the Iranian Navy. There's two different navies. So they've separated this out into provinces, everybody, like 30 provinces with all these different entanglements. I mean, this is like a spaghetti maze. And now you have 90% of Iran Shia that are angry at the Americans because they killed their spiritual leader. Did you see the funeral procedures of this guy? Did you see the estimated about 30 to 40 million across the country came out for this man from what the estimates are. Kind of makes sense that there's 82 million Shiites in Iran. Half of them showed up for the funeral. I can kind of buy that or not. The point being is they all had red flags. What does that mean? That means open season on everybody is what that means. If you go look at what that truly means with them, no one's off limits now. Go look at what the IRGC said. It told everybody in the Gulf nations, citizens, get out because it's going to get really interesting in the Middle East right here.

So again, I'm just trying to tell everybody that because no one's going to beat Persia except for Turkey. God has said that. God told Daniel that. So I don't care what the American government thinks. I don't care what the Israeli government thinks. I don't care what anyone thinks. God said in Daniel 8 that Turkey would defeat Iran. God said in Daniel 2 and 7 that Iran was first, then Turkey. God said in Daniel 10 that Israel and Iran were going to fight twice, and you have seen that. Now America's involved in this, and that goes against what God wants. America's not in Daniel 10. Understand that America is going to be judged for this because of Isaiah 30:31, Jeremiah 2, and Hosea 4 and 5. Israel, you and your lover will be judged. Just like Assyria and Egypt. They've come to America for weapons, for money, and all this stuff, and they're not calling on the King of Israel, Yeshua, the Messiah. So, just on a spiritual level, on a biblical level, why would God allow America and Israel get the victory when they're out of alignment with the Bible? He will not. And I know Americans hate this when I say this. I know Israelis do too. Jewish people, Christians do because of the pride. But He's going to break that pride. And you're going to see what Daniel has said. He's going to deal with the Middle East by Himself, not with America's cover over everybody, which that's been blown over. Because they can't protect anybody over there. So you're going to see, just like Europe getting out of the Middle East, now America get out. The West get out. And now He's going to deal with the Middle East. And Turkey will run the Middle East. That is for sure. And I do believe that Trump will be a catalyst for that because I think he'll see that they can do it with their power, with their army, and also with the support of the Americans and all that they can do it. When I say support, they don't need our support. I'm just saying politically speaking, the support to do that.

So friends, whenever I looked at that funeral procession, and I just like to look at what the Islamists think because I want to know what the enemy is thinking. When I looked at that, I looked at a bunch of people who do not want a deal. The Iranians, go listen to the interviews. They were mad at the government for doing the ceasefire. They want blood, man. They want revenge. You just killed their spiritual leader. The Shiites. I'm not talking about the Iranians. I'm talking about the Shia Iranian people. 80 million of them. 82 million of them. You just killed their spiritual leader. You don't think they want blood? Let me ask you like this. All the Trump supporters out there, or even just the Americans. So I hope we could all come together on this, no matter what side of the aisle one may be. What if Iran killed Trump, killed his wife, Melania, and his little granddaughter, and all of these things that we did to them? What do you think the Americans would do? What do you think the Americans would do if they killed any president and their wife and their family? Let me remind everybody, America is the only country in the world that's dropped an atomic weapon on somebody twice. So what the heck do you think they're going to do? I mean, okay, everybody can talk about whoever with nuclear weapons. We're the only ones who dropped a nuclear weapon on someone twice. So we've got to get off of our hypocritical stance in America and understand that these people want blood, man. These people want revenge. They're actually mad at the government because they're not doing more. They don't want the ceasefire. They want blood, man, and they want revenge. And that's who you're fighting right now, a Shia religion who has an end-of-the-age apocalypse, as well as we do. And like I've always said, if you want a holy war, they'll give it to you. They definitely will give it to you. And I don't think, if I can say this in respect, I don't think the American government has the stomach for it. I don't. They haven't so far because every time there's been negotiations, America has called for them, not Iran. And the Iranian people, go do your own research. They've got red flags. Just go read about it. They want blood. They want revenge. I don't think the Americans want blood or want revenge as a whole. I think 60-65% of the Americans don't want this at all. Go look at the stats of the Iranians. So the Iranians will be able to suffer more than we will because they don't care. They've already suffered more than we have. And the Americans have not. In all due respect, we have not. And 65% of the Americans don't want this war. Do you think 65% of the Americans have the stomach to gut this out when the global markets go to explosion because no one can stop Iran's missiles? No one can. That hurts Americans' feelings, but that's just the truth, man. That's what's on the ground. I mean, they are lighting up Kuwait. They're lighting up Bahrain. They're lighting up the UAE. Welcome to the party, the Islamists in the South. And I don't, I'm not for Iran. I'm for the Islamists to be judged because the UAE is evil. Qatar is evil. Bahrain's evil. Kuwait are evil people who support terrorism that's killed the Jewish people. So again, I don't have a problem with Iran firing missiles through the skyscrapers of Dubai because the UAE has sponsored a genocide in Sudan. And the Sudanese, I mean, Muslims are getting absolutely rocked down in Sudan. And I know no one cares about that because of a lot of things, and I don't want to say that because it offends people, but the people don't care about these people. But the UAE deserves missiles is what they deserve. Dubai deserves missiles. And God is allowing Iran to give them those missiles. And so is Qatar. So is Kuwait. So is all these evil, prosperous Islamists that I keep saying over and over that they need to get into the game. And guess what? They're in the game now. They are in the game now whether they want to be in the game or not. Because they've been brought into it.

So my friends, it's very important to understand what the roles of these countries are. At the end of the age, Iran will destroy Saudi Arabia. I don't know how many people know that, but Iran will destroy Saudi Arabia. You can go read Isaiah 21 for that, the judgment of the desert by the sea, the Red Sea, Arabia, Edom will be destroyed by Iran in Isaiah 21. So my friends, we have to know the players. We have to know who's going to fight who at the end. And again, they're all going to come together just like the book of Revelation says for one purpose, and that is to come against the Jewish people in Israel. That's what Revelation 13 says or Revelation 17, one of the two says that they come together for one mind. And these prosperous Islamists down here in the Gulf, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, it's nice to see that they're going to get their hands a little bit dirty as well because again, they've got a fight on their hands.

So now let's go back to Daniel. Remember, he saw the vision right here. If you can see my arrow there, that's where Ilam, old Ilam is, is right there. Very important. That's where God is going to put His throne in Ilam. Yeshua will put God's throne, just like He's going to do in Egypt. Isaiah 19, He's going to put Jeremiah 49, His throne in Ilam. That's where Daniel saw the vision. What's so interesting, my friends, and it all comes down to oil as well. And this is part of the fight that we're fighting right now, is the oil markets, the energy markets. So really, my friends, you're really into an energy war. A global energy war caused by America and Israel. Really is what you're in because we weren't in this situation before we attacked them. But they didn't understand what Iran could do because they disrespected these people. They didn't think they could close the Hormuz. They didn't think they could do all this stuff. Most people that I know geopolitically speaking, military commanders, professors, CIA, all these people that I personally listen to, everybody says that. I mean, I know a guy who wrote a book on Daniel 8 that said, I mean, this is 10 years ago, that said Iran would close the strait. So if the prophecy teachers who know correctly, and also all of the geopolitical analysts, military, CIA, and all this, if they know this, why didn't the president and the United States government understand this that they would close the Hormuz Strait? Because the president did say that he didn't think that they would close it. I mean, really. So this is an existential threat for Iran. Really, I think it's an existential threat for America, to be quite frank with you, if we're not careful with this. But it's an existential threat for Iran, and you've got 82 million Shiites who would take the sword if it came down to it because of their religion and go fight. So I don't know what anyone's thinking in Washington D.C. about ground troops. That is a suicide mission, is what that is. No disrespect to our soldiers. I love our soldiers. I've had family who's fought in wars. I've got friends who's fought in Iraq, Afghanistan, all that stuff. Part of the reason why I get the way that I do because again, they just use them as pawns is what they are to the politicians. And I think we get the politicians over there, is what I think. I think we get their them and their families over there, front line and centered, is what I personally think. But my friends, keep up with this Ilam thing right at the southern end because it's very important to realize this. That's where Daniel saw the vision. That's where Iraq just built a new port of oil. And what's so amazing, my friends, is this right here is when you look at it, this is what it's about as well. These are two pipelines. And this is going to explain a lot to people who might not keep up with these things, but this is where you are. When you see Basra down there at the far right-hand corner, the southeastern corner, that is where Ilam is. Old school Ilam on the Iranian side is Ilam. Where Daniel saw the vision, where Turkey and Iran went at it. What am I trying to say? Keep watching this, everybody, because they've got a port down there and they're doing these pipelines that's going to cut out Iran. So Persia, Iran's going to be cut out of the oil from the rest of the Middle East because of what you're seeing. This is a major part of why they're doing this, everybody. They're cutting Iran off. They're bringing Iraq in. The president, the prime minister is going to play ball. Syria. That's why you saw Assad go down is because of Turkey. It's going to go through Turkey. So that's what I'm trying to say. You got to follow the geopolitics, but also the oil as well, because that's where we are right now. The energy crisis of the oil. We haven't seen anything yet. Six months. Get back with me. They can't manipulate this forever. So again, we've got the Ilam over here on the eastern side of Basra in the Iranian side. This pipeline goes from the new Iran, excuse me, the new Iraqi port with all of this oil that Iraq has. I mean, did you hear what Trump said about Iraq's oil when the prime minister, the new prime minister came to the White House this past week? They got plenty of it. So again, they're going to cut Iran out of the oil. They don't depend on the Hormuz Strait. They've got these pipelines. And that's why Iran's going to behave the way they're going to behave is because they know this. I mean, they've got intelligence. They understand what's going down. People are going to try to cut them out. And that's why they are blasting the Gulf nations and they're trying to get people to go on their side and eventually they will. And that's what I'm trying to tell everybody. You've got to look at the future with the prophecies of Persia's in the beast kingdom. In Ezekiel 38, everybody is talking about Ezekiel 38. The Jewish people are, the Christians are. Ezekiel 38. We're not there yet. But anyhow, since they are talking about it, they need to read it and understand that Turkey is the main power. Persia's with them. Libya is with them, and many others are with them. Iran is not the leader of the pack. No, they're not. Just read the prophecy. Persia is with them. So, I want to read, I read it many times. Just read it. All those ancient names are in Turkey. Go look at any biblical atlas, ancient atlas. Gog, Magog, Gomer, all of those names are in Turkey. Yavan. All right. And it says Persia is with them. Many are with you. So again, Daniel 8's going to happen. Turkey's going to rock Iran, and then Iran will fall underneath Turkey as an inferior power or the brittle part of the 10 kings, if you will. And so what am I trying to say? If they're in the beast kingdom, why do you think God's going to give American Israel the victory to beat them? I mean, that's just not even, that's not anti-American or anti-Israel. That's just biblical prophecy and no pride of America, pride and Israeli pride that we're going to conquer the Middle East. That's not going to happen until Yeshua, please. That's the, that's simple eschatology 101. Not any man or government's going to do that, other than the Jewish Messiah. So, my friends, that's what I tell people. I've been talking to some of my friends for six months now. They see it. And I'm not saying I'm right about everything. I'm not. It's just I keep up with Daniel and Ezekiel and the prophecies. And now they see it because there's no way America is going to beat Iran. Why would they? We're about to be into the beast kingdom here whenever that comes, several years. Why would they change into a good government? Reza. Great. They would hang. Did you just hear what I just said? There's 85 million Shiites over there that would hang this guy, because of what his father did to the Iranian people. He was a tyrant. People in the West celebrate this guy. No, he was a tyrant. And that's why you had the Islamist rise up, the Iranian revolution, because of Reza and the way he behaved with the Iranian people, and he was a proxy for America, you know, with the oil and all that. People don't realize America's been in Iran's business since 1953, everybody. Not 1979. 1953. We were taking their oil. We got rid of the guy who wanted to nationalize their oil and put in Reza Pahlavi, and then America could get their oil. A bunch of thieves. Of course, all the time. I'm sick of that. Leave these people alone. Get out of the business. And then you got the Iranian revolution 1979 because of that. And then here you go. Everybody knows the history from that point forward. I'm not for the Iranian government. They're evil. But the Iranian people have been under a dictator from not only these people but also Reza Pahlavi as well, with a tyrant as well. So these people have suffered a lot. And if you think they love America, well, go listen to them. "Death to America. Death to Israel. Death to America." There's probably a reason why they say that, everybody. I'm not on Iran's side, but there's a reason these people hate America as much as they do. I've met many Persians, and that's what they tell me to call them. I said, "Oh, you're from Iran." They said, "No, I'm not. I'm from Persia." I said, "Please, sorry, please." I've done business with them. Real estate. Lovely people. They're not all just wanting to kill everybody, even though they're Muslims. So, we've got to change our trajectory of this stuff. Yes, the Iranian government's evil, but what are you going to do about it? I mean, that's what I'm trying to tell everybody. You can fight your little heart out, but you're fighting against biblical prophecy, everybody. And if people could understand that, they wouldn't be offended as much. They wouldn't think you're anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-this, anti-that. Everybody's so offended these days, they can't take the truth. And the truth is, everybody thought America was going to go walk the dog over there with Iran. Two or three days, lean on them, and they'll revolution and all this great stuff, and we're living in the millennial kingdom because of America. No, you got slapped is what happened. America slapped Iran hard, but they're used to that. But we're not used to being slapped back. These people are not the Taliban. These people are not Syria. These people are not even Iraq. Iraq was about to fall over when we took over anyhow, because of Saddam and all that. People don't know what you're fighting. You don't know what you're fighting. And just like someone said one time, you don't know what you don't know. And if we don't know the biblical prophets, if we don't know the trajectory of the biblical prophets, then everybody's going to think America is going to go over there and walk the dog. Well, they didn't walk anything. They got slapped. And now they want some more, and Iran will give them some more. If they're not careful, Donald Trump will become the Herbert Hoover of our generation, the Great Depression, if he's not careful. If he's not careful and he keeps getting his chains jerked or if he's not understanding this or if he's making bad decisions, whatever someone wants to call it, he will be going down as the Herbert Hoover of this. Who is that? The Great Depression. Because what we're facing now, my friends, is nothing but an oil energy crisis. The politicians are manipulating everybody in America. Everybody thinks it's great. Everybody thinks it's okay. And it's just not okay. Let me show you this really quick, my friends, so that you can really understand this from a US report, US government report. Please give me one second and let me pull this up for you guys. I think it's very, and you can go look at this as well, but this is super important for you and your family to keep up with. I'm not an economist. I'm not any of that. I'm just trying to share information with you in the best of my ability of the analysis that I personally see. This is from the US government, everybody. And this is the petroleum and other liquids. So if you can look at it, if this is, let me see if I can expand this a little bit so we can see a little bit better. It's not going to let me do that. One second. Sorry about that. Oh, excuse me, guys. Sorry about that. So I'm going to have to leave it like that. I hope you guys can see this. But as you can see, if you cannot read where, let me get you where you can see my cursor. This year right here with my arrow is 1985, everybody. So this is 1985, and this is where we were. Okay. So we had about four, excuse me, 1983, we had, excuse me, 1982, we had 280,000 barrels of oil. Crude oil. In 1982. Now in 2026, we have 316,504 barrels of crude oil. Look at the difference. Look at the trajectory of our oil reserves that we have. That is not good at all. And what a lot of people are saying is that's only going to get worse because of what's happening in the Middle East. And again, it's almost like these people want a global depression because of how stupid this is. I mean, this makes zero sense to keep fighting these people when you won't win this war. This will be at least a six-month or longer forever war if they send ground troops in. It will not be good at all. But I wanted to show you guys that, and you can look that up for yourself.

Another thing before we get into more of the geopolitics of the Middle East, I'll show you a couple more things that you guys can keep up with that will keep our politicians honest and you'll know if they're being lied to or not. So, this is the Hormuz report. And as you guys can see here, it says just in. If you can't read it, I'll read it for you really quick here. The Hormuz. This was 15 hours ago, just in. Despite two US aircraft carriers and with heavy air cover, the United States could not keep the Gulf's biggest oil bypass open. Fujairah port has effectively ceased operations, removing roughly 6 million barrels per day from the market. So you can find that on X, the Hormuz Report. So you can keep up with that. Also right here on my account of what I get, this is what the IRGC has said. Whether you want to believe it or not, this is what they're saying. It says, "All civilians must leave the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait immediately. All sailors in the Arabian Gulf order to evacuate their ships, especially those near Hormuz, which will be the first to be destroyed. This is the final warning. Leave now."

So from the reports that I'm personally getting, my friends, is from what some of the analysts that I listen to, from what I have researched, that it's always been tit for tat. You know, America or Israel would bomb them, and then whatever they bomb, then they would bomb the Gulf nations, the same thing. You bomb our port, we'll bomb your port, all this stuff, which causes the civilians of the world to lose, because of these stupid governments, all of them. Iran, Israel, and America are causing the civilians of the world to be in a bad position. So, why is he saying that? Is because the research that I've done and from the people that I've listened to, the gloves are off, man. I think what they're going to try to do is ruin President Trump's career, his legacy, and everything. They've taken the gloves off. They're not going to wait to be attacked anymore. They're going to attack. And I think from what this guy has said, whether you believe him or not, we'll see. From what I've seen, Bahrain, Kuwait has been rocked and rolled from the reports that I've seen. I've seen ships being sunk. One ship was sunk in the sea, right in the middle of it. And what's so interesting, and I'll just say this, that they hit them in the engine rooms. That's how precise Iran's missile capabilities are. Again, I'm not on their side. I'm just telling you facts that they're sending these missiles to the engine room so they don't have a lot of casualties, so that, you know, eventually America probably nukes them. So they are trying to be strategically careful with dead Americans. Thank God. But at the same time, I think the gloves are off now. They will kill Americans anywhere. Because that's just where we are right now. So those are some, the Hormuz Report is one that you can keep up with. The Hormuz. And then to really understand it, you can keep up with the marine traffic of the Hormuz Strait. So again, you can find all of this online. I'm just trying to show you guys where you can get some accurate information to keep our president and politicians and prime ministers accountable. So this is the Hormuz Strait. This is the airflow, or I'm sorry, this is the marine traffic of the Hormuz Strait. It tells you how many ships have gone in each day, and not too many. The oil's not flowing like the land of milk and honey, everybody, like the president and prime minister and everybody wants you to believe. But you can go to MarineTraffic. You might have to sign up with your email or something to it, but it will show you personally what's going on in the Hormuz Strait. You don't have to listen to me, the president, whoever, Iran. You don't have to listen to nobody. You can go check it out for yourself, and then you can fact-check the president, Iran, the prime minister, and all of these people, because that's the heart posture that we should have is to test everything, is what the Bible says, is to test everything. Unfortunately, today Christians and Jews are not testing our politicians. They're not testing Donald Trump. They're not testing Netanyahu. They're not testing no one. They're just trusting what these people are saying. And again, how is that going? I thought we were going to beat Iran in a couple of days. It's six months, and they're still firing missiles northward, southward, and westward at their will. And this is no bueno, man. Any way you want to cut it. This is no bueno. So those are a couple of fact-checkers for all of us. The MarineTraffic is a great one. And then also the Hormuz Strait, or the Hormuz Report, just to understand what's truly going on in the Middle East.

So, as we get back to, excuse me, not Daniel, but as we get back to our map, we'll go through some more Middle East updates that I think are very important that ties into what we are discussing here. So, we'll let me zoom out of this really quick so we can get another different bird's-eye view of this. But again, Iran is in a very big nationalist movement right now. They've come together. They rallied around the flag, which is the opposite effect of what the United States and Israel wanted. They thought that the people would rise up and overturn the government, which is the stupidest idea I've heard in a long time. So again, when we look at the facts on the ground, and again, this might offend people, but these are just the facts on the ground. The government's still in place. We failed on that. The Hormuz Strait, Iran's in control of that still, and they will be in the future. We've lost that. Nuclear enrichment still there. What else have we, we didn't get accomplished? We haven't received, we haven't achieved any objective is what I'm trying to say. There's not one objective that we have obtained as Americans or Israelis. The people need to rise up and understand this and realize what our governments are doing. There's no victories now. It's just down to the battle for the Hormuz Strait because you can't get the regime changed. You can't get their nuclear stuff. You can't stop their missiles. And I guess the last of the Mohicans, if you will, is the Iran Strait, if you will. I'll just call it that, the Hormuz Strait. So we've got to realize what we're in right now. No objectives have been reached. Yes, America has tactically done a lot of damage to buildings and, you know, all these things in Iran. We all know that. But what people don't know is the damage that Iran has done to us that no one thought that they could. No one thought that Iran would fight back. No one thought that they would do what they have done. And I think they proved to everybody, if I can say this biblically speaking, they have proved everybody what the prophet Daniel has said, northward, southward, and westward, and no kingdom or animal could stand within their path. Not even the United States of America. So again, that causes the pride to come down on America, which we need to come down, and also to Israel as well. It's just not Israel's time right now to be the kingdom of the Middle East. It will be their time, according to Daniel and according to Yeshua, when He restores the kingdom back to Israel when He returns, not before then. You've got Iraq, Iran, Turkey, the beast kingdom, Antichrist, Yeshua. And right now, we're just in Iran. So you've got a long way to go. And whenever Turkey defeats Iran in Daniel 8, then it really gets mad. It gets really bad. What's so interesting, and I will go to the Middle East updates after this, I'm just recalling some things that I'd like to say now. What's interesting to me is the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. If you go listen to his career from 1996 to right now, he's mentioned the first three kingdoms of Daniel in a row. Everybody, 1996, he stood before the US Congress. That's why he's involved on this crap as well with the Clean Break Act. You can go look that up for yourself. The Clean Break Act, where America or Netanyahu in America is going to dethrone seven nations in five years and conquer the promised land or Israel, America's Middle East, or whatever stupid thing they were going to do. And how did that work out? How did the Middle East work out with that? Now you've got the Islamists ready to rock and roll now because of our actions. And again, they already hated us. They already hated the Jewish people. They already hated the Americans, and we just poured diesel fuel on top of that, and now you will see the response from the Islamists. So I find it very interesting that Netanyahu has prophetically called, not that he knows what he's doing, or he might know what he's doing, who knows. But bottom line is, is he's mentioned the first three kingdoms of Daniel every time. Iraq in 1996, first kingdom, of course. Iran, he's been mentioning for 40 years. He said he's been waiting on this. And then what has he mentioned lately? Turkey, the first three kingdoms of Daniel. Everybody, it's time to wake up and understand what's going down. So he's right. Turkey is next. He's exactly right. And guess what? His opposition, Naftali Bennett, who's running against him here in October. It doesn't matter who wins because guess, well, it does. And I think Netanyahu will win because he's got some bad things still to do, if I can say that. But anyhow, he's called out the first three. And even Naftali Bennett said Turkey is next. The opposition who's running for prime minister. So my friends, you are in the end of the age where it gets really serious. And really to understand this, my friends, that the prime minister is prophetically calling out the first three kingdoms of Daniel in a row in his prophetic career. Let me remind everybody that Benjamin Netanyahu was born in 1949, when basically when Israel was created. He was born on a solar eclipse, which means bad for the nations, October 21st, 1949, in the middle of four blood moons in a row on Passover and Tabernacles, and Passover and Tabernacles. So those are warnings to the Jewish people that these are for the, this is the end. This is it. '48. It's been 78 years since they've been back in the land. It's time to wake up and to understand this is not the final return. This is not the millennial kingdom. This is the time of indignation, just like the prophet said, and the pride will be broken, and the time of Jacob's trouble will come, and we're going to see who loves the Jewish Messiah over in the Middle East, including Israel and including all over the world. So, we need to understand that is what's going down. And the great commission is at the forefront of that for all of us who love everybody in the world, even the Islamists. We've got to love them. They're our enemy. And we've got to love them because they are seeing visions of Jesus. Some of them are, and they're coming to salvation. Amen. So, that's where the heart posture is. Is we've got to do the great commission to all people. And because you never know what the Holy Spirit can do.

With that being said, we're going to go into some other interesting scenarios. We've already spoken about Syria, how Trump is going to get Syria and Turkey involved with Hezbollah. He has said that Israel cannot beat Hezbollah. And he is right. God will not give the Israelis a victory until they repent, or America until we repent. So we have to realize that Syria will do a number on Hezbollah through Turkey. Turkey will get involved in this, and they will crush Hezbollah. What I find so interesting, my friends, looking at the map, let me supersize this and I'll show you what I was saying. So when the Syrian president, Erdogan, or al-Qaeda guy, terrorist, when he took over Syria through Turkey, by Turkey's power, he said in an interview three things, and look at where he's located. He says, "We have three enemies. We have Bashar al-Assad, who he got rid of. He fled to Russia and he still is in exile in Russia. Hezbollah is our enemy." So al-Qaeda, the terrorist, said Hezbollah is his enemy. And then he said Iran is his enemy. He didn't say Iraq. He said Iran is his enemy. So let me get this straight. So the Turkish proxy guy, the terrorist guy, has said that his three enemies, forget Assad, he's gone. That his remaining two enemies are Hezbollah and Iran. Now you have Trump saying that he's going to try to get Syria to take care of Hezbollah because they can get the job, which they can. He's right on that. They will do it through Turkey, and they'll get rid of Hezbollah, then they'll control Lebanon as well. So Turkey's going to control this, everybody, is what I'm trying to say. So if he gets Turkey involved, that's going to again diminish Iran's proxy group, Hezbollah, because Syria will beat him. Turkey, Syria will beat them. Iraq will go along with Turkey and Syria. Watch Iraq. Iraq's going to come back as an evil player now. They've been on the sideline a little bit, but remember what I said. The report is that September 30th, all of the American troops will be out of Iraq. That's a good thing because you got a lot of Shia militias, Shia religion, Iran militias over in Iraq, that's been shooting rockets and causing disturbance with our American troops over there. Folks, it's just time to come home, man. We've been over in the Middle East way too long. It's time to get back into our own country. This is their country, not ours. If they want to fight each other, go ahead. God is the protector of Israel, not America. God is the eagle. God is the protector. He's the one who protects Israel, not America. So again, you can't say, "Well, we're going against Israel." No, you're not. Actually, you're cursing Israel by giving them all this weaponry and all this money to go to war because God is against that. Again, Isaiah prophets were against that, going to Egypt and Assyria for weaponry, horses, battles, and all this, because God will defeat these people Himself. "I Myself will do this," is what He says in Joshua 13. Not America or the Israeli government or anybody else. That's just the facts. Who do we love? You love God and love Yeshua, or you love mankind? Which one? I hope you love both, but on this scenario, choose God and Yeshua over mankind doing the work of our hands when look how that's going. So, keep your eyes on what Trump is doing with Syria and Turkey and Hezbollah, because Hezbollah's been in Lebanon for 40 years. And all due respect to our Israeli friends, I love you. I stand with you to the end. But you will not beat Hezbollah because Moses said you will not. God said you will not through Moses if you disobey. If you disobey, He's going to bring Hezbollah against you. He's going to bring Hamas against you. That's what God said now in Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28 through 30, and really the entire Torah, Numbers 33. He's going to do that. If they are disobedient, if they're obedient, then they don't have to worry about their enemies. But if they're disobedient, He's going to bring them against them. And then they're going to come against the people. They won't be able to win. And then He will save them out of it. The time of Jacob's trouble, but he will be saved out of it. The covenant with death, but it will be annulled. That's where we are. That's where we're going. Not redemption, my Jewish friends. Not Israeli friends. Not redemption right now. The time of Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah 30, but he will be saved out of it. And then Jeremiah 31's the new covenant, everybody. How beautiful. Isaiah 28, the covenant with death, but it will be annulled by Yeshua. Understand that's what's coming. Not all these great victories, and Benjamin Netanyahu is the king of Israel, and he's the greatest wartime president. No, he's not. He's lost. He hasn't won any war. Zero wars. Zero victories. Show me a victory that Benjamin Netanyahu has gotten in 20 years of power. Zero. How many wars have America won in the Middle East in 25 years? Zero. So again, I think God's trying to tell us something, right? That we're not going to be able to beat the beast kingdom, everybody, by going over there and trying to do what God's going to do. And as soon as we understand that, we will be a better country. Our debt will start going down when we start to repent and all of these things that we need to do for our nation to be a godly nation again.

So, as we look around the Middle East, a couple of things. Saudi Arabia, for some reason or another, bombed Yemen. Let me show you guys where that is. So they bombed Sana. This is where the Houthis are. So they bombed the civilian airport there, which I think was a stupid mistake by Saudi Arabia. And again, I'm not for the Houthi rebels. I'm just giving you facts. Saudi Arabia has been trying to get rid of the Houthi rebels for about 10 years. Even going back to Obama, through Biden, and even Trump, they've been trying to get rid of the Houthis. And every single time, the Saudi Arabians have been slapped back to rehab. And they will get slapped back again if they try to mess with the Houthi rebels. People don't understand that Saudi Arabia, I think, and don't quote me on this, I'm just giving you an approximate. I think they have like 40 million people in Saudi Arabia. I know it looks like a large country, but it's mostly desert. So they've got about 40 million people. Well, Yemen has 40 million people, if you want to just do population by population. And these people are more hardcore than the Arabians are. The Arabians are sitting over there in luxury right now. And the Yemenis are not. The Yemenis are not. So they're a little bit more hardcore and war-drone than the Saudi Arabians. And MBS sitting over there in his robe with his flip-flops on in Riyadh. These people will turn your lights out, and they will to Saudi Arabia as well. And that's why they don't mess with him. So that's why I find it interesting that Saudi Arabia bombed Yemen's airport, because look what Yemen could do. Look what the Houthis could do. I call it the Houthi Strait. It's the Augman Doab Strait, but it's called, in my mind, the Houthi Strait. The Houthi Strait is right here, right there. Look how narrow that is. So I don't know why Saudi Arabia would bomb them when they could close the Red Sea Strait. Now you've got this closed as well with the Hormuz Strait, and you've got yourself a global energy crisis. And if they could, I think they'll have an impact on the Suez Canal as well because of their missile program from Iran. So again, I'm not sure why Saudi Arabia made a stupid mistake like that. The UAE, they've tried to mess with the Houthis, and they got slapped back to Dubai. So again, I don't think anybody wants a piece of the Houthi rebels until somebody beats these guys. Again, I'm not for them. I'm just saying until somebody beats these people, they've got a lot to say in this. They have not entered this second round of the war, which I find very interesting. So if they, that's why I can't believe Saudi Arabia bombed these people, because that's just to provoke these people to get involved. And they said that it hasn't been the time to do that yet. So I'm just trying to tell everybody, if they want a holy war, American Israel, you will get it, from the Islamists. That's biblically. That's prophetically. They will not win this. Yeshua will win this only. And that's just the bottom line. And for six months, I've said the same exact thing, and I'll say it for another six months until the American government wakes up, understands that you're just going to go bankrupt printing money or borrowing money and $40 trillion in debt, and you think you can go win wars. I mean, that is, that's not even common sense, much less. That's how far off we are in America. We are way off in our pride and our egos in America. And that balloon is about to be popped so that we can get to reality here. I mean, I don't know who we think we are to think we can go across the Middle East and try to ruin everybody's life and control the Middle East. How has that gone? You have zero victories. You got $40 trillion in debt. You know, you don't have munitions to go fight these wars anymore. Anyhow, and I'll talk about that in a minute. But my friends, this is serious stuff because again, these people have suffered. They don't mind suffering. And from what I've researched, they look at it like this now. If they suffer, the world suffers. If everybody wants, if America wants to leave these people alone, they'll be good. But if you want to make them suffer, the world will suffer. And they've got the nuclear weapon, not the bomb, the Hormuz Strait. They've got another nuclear weapon called the Houthis down at the Red Sea, down at the Houthi Strait. So again, the US Navy tried to go down to, remember that about a couple years ago, go down to Trump's first couple months, go down there with the US Navy trying to bomb the Houthi out. How'd that work out? The US Navy came back. Not the Houthis. And the Houthis kept shooting missiles at Israel. Guys, you just got to look at the facts here. This is laughable stuff that everybody thinks that we can do these things. And I'm telling you, you cannot do these things. You will not do these things. You can't beat Hamas. You can't beat Hezbollah. You can't beat Iran. You can't beat the Houthis. You can't beat Turkey. And you're not going to beat the beast kingdom. So again, Christians and Jews need to wake up and understand reality. Get out of their pride, their ego, their arrogance, and understand what the biblical Jewish prophets have said about what's going down. And what's going down will not be favorable to the United States or to Israel. These two countries are in judgment zone. And then Yeshua will deal with the Islamists. If we can understand that, we'll be better off as a group of believers instead of trusting these governments.

So, I just thought Saudi Arabia, that was the stupidest thing I've seen from Saudi Arabia for people who are very smart in business, you know, with the oil. That was stupid because if they want them to get engaged, they will. And they can cause disturbance into the Red Sea, which will only bring more suffering to the global economy with the energy crisis that we are seeing here. My friends, the Hormuz Strait could be the United States' Suez Canal. Do you understand that? It could be the Suez Canal of the British Empire. The British Empire was already done. In 1916-17 with World War I, they were already, the sun's already set on their empire, the one that said that it would never set. It did set, as they always do. And the sun's setting on our empire as well. Americans just don't want to receive that. Or due to things that would cause us not to fail called repentance. No homosexuality law. Quit killing babies. Quit acting like idiots with religion. Quit having idols. Quit doing all these things, and we'd see our country come back. Until that time, the go. So, we've got to really realize where we are. And people don't realize this because again, I just think it's American pride and American ego and all these things. And God loves America, and He will never destroy it. I mean, that's what Israel thought. He destroyed it twice and burned the temple down twice on the same day, by the way, in eight days from now, seven days from now. So we've got to understand what God is doing. And God will judge His people, everybody. And that is the Israelis, and that is the Jewish people, and also the American Christians who think everything's great. He will judge us because the household of God gets judged first. So my friends, I wanted to come with you with that. And we went through the oil pipelines like I'll show you guys on this map. There is a pipeline that, one of the reasons why you're seeing this going down, is there's a pipeline that Daniel was right in this area when he saw Daniel 8. There's an Iraqi port right there with pipelines going through Syria, Iraq, Syria to Turkey. And then there's another one as well bypassing the Iranians. So they are fighting for their lives over here because of the oil. Because if they're able to do that, then the Hormuz Strait becomes irrelevant. All right. So we've got to really understand that the people that are in the worst position right now, in my opinion, are these countries right here, these Islamists, these prosperity Islamists who never want to get their hands dirty. They're in terrible shape right now. UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Horrible shape right now. I doubt anybody wants to go to Dubai right now, do you? So, we'll see what happens with all of those things.

One thing, one thing that I wanted to, let me make sure I'm going down the list here. One thing that people need to understand with the global economy is the petrodollar. The petrodollar, if you're not familiar with it, basically, just to make it simple, it was an agreement with Saudi Arabia and America. America would go there and protect the Arabians from Saddam Hussein and all these other Islamists for basically the oil to be used in American dollars. That's why you've seen our society has gone to the sky is because of the oil. That everything's done in US dollars. That is no longer the case. So my friends, just please understand this. Do your own research. Don't believe me. Do your own research and understand that all of these bad negative things that we're talking about are realistic. They're realistic. It's not just being negative or hatred of America, anti-America, anti-Israel. Get away from all that crap. It's about realistically looking at the situation on the ground so that we can be the light to whoever wants to listen. You can protect your family to the best of your ability with finances, resources, etc. This is not a spirit of fear. This is not go dig a cave. None of that crap. This is just to understand what is going on so that you can understand what's happening. And just like Yeshua said, to be watchful and not be caught up in this. One of the major reasons I get really frustrated is not because the politicians. Well, I do, but the main thing is the believers and the Jewish people are so deceived right now with politicians. That's what bothers me. It bothers me tremendously. I could care less about the politicians. They are who they are. They come and they go. The problem I've got is the Jewish people, some of them, the political Jews and the political Christians, they love their presidents more than they love God, in my opinion. And they love the presidents more than they love biblical prophecy, in my opinion. So, you really find out who really loves it when you have to take a side that's the truth and not just America's side all the time because we're Americans. That is stupidity in my opinion. The truth, the truth, the truth is what I want. I don't care if it's for us, great. I hope so. But if it's against us, it is what it is. And that's how you get corrected with repentance. Israel, the same way. I'm all for Israel. But if they're in the wrong, they're in the wrong. That's not being anti-Semitic. You can love the people. You can be with the people, support the people, stand with the people. But if they do wrong, they do wrong. I mean, good gosh, is anybody that offended out there that the Jewish people do things that are wrong as well? Americans do things that are wrong as well. So, we've got to really get out of all this crap in my opinion and understand this stuff. Because the facts on the ground is not favorable for America or Israel or really for the entire world. And that's why the astonishment that these folks think they can go back and bomb these people more. I said it before the war started. You can drop every bomb, and you almost have, by the way. We're almost out of munitions, and I'll talk about that next. You can bomb it, drop every bomb you want on these people, and they're still going to be there. They're still going to be there. Taliban still there. Iraq's still there. Libya's still there. Syria's still there with a terrorist involved that I guess Trump sprayed perfume on, and I guess he's clean now. Arabia is still there. Yemen will be there. All these people are still there. I mean, so who's the joke on? The joke's really on the American taxpayer who's been taken advantage of more than any other taxpayer in human history. The American taxpayers have been voodooed for 25 years with the same thing over and over. We must be the most insane country in the world to keep doing the same things over and over and over and over again, expecting a different result. Just think about that. We must be. We must be. Again, we've got to realize as American citizens, wake up and understand, you are about to get a whooping. And we don't even know how bad that's going to be. A whooping from the Most High in America. The United States of America is about to receive it, as well as the entire world. The entire world.

So, the petrodollar, my friends, that is pretty much dead. That is a pretty much a dead thing right now, the petrodollar, and that will affect our economy. My friends, I mean, I guess give the Trump administration credit for manipulating everything with the oil markets, but there's only so much that you can do with manipulation. One plus one does equal two. And eventually, the manipulation that they've done, he could be the Herbert Hoover. He could be. That's, he said he doesn't want to be the Herbert Hoover. He said that when he signed the terrible. It was all Iranian favor, by the way, because they have the leverage. So, cards Trump has cards, but he has no hand. If that makes any sense. He has no cards. No hand. Iran has the majority of the leverage. And when you see this go down, you'll see it. America will not control the strait. If they try to take over some of those islands, even if they do take over the islands, they're sitting ducks, man. If you understand the geology and the geography of Persia, it is like a fortress. That's why only about a handful of people have conquered Persia, including Alexander the Great. Let me tell you folks, you don't have an Alexander the Great on this earth today. So, just understand that this is going to get really ugly if America doesn't cry uncle. Because Iran will not cry uncle. They are willing to go the distance. My question is, do you think the Donald is ready to go the distance with the global economy? Do you think the American bloodthirsty Americans for the Zionist or whoever who want to go kill everybody, you think they're ready for this? We will find out. We will find out. Because again, if you want a holy war, you will get it. You will get it. You've got 85, excuse me, 82 million Shiites, and their religion will call them to fight with the sword if it came down to it. I don't think we have 82 million people that want to go to Iran. Do you? I don't think so. So again, we've got to understand what the situation on the ground is. And all this fantasy that all this G.I. Joe stuff that everybody wants to do over in Iran, that will be met with the absolute gavel. And thus far, that's exactly what it's been, because America has not achieved anything over there other than blowing up a lot of buildings. Great. We all know America can do that. You've done it across the Middle East. But what has that accomplished? Nothing but anti-Semitism across the world, more than ever before. Hatred of Christians more than ever time, more than ever time before. And a hatred of Americans more than any time before. Americans, you've got a target on your back now. Thank you, Trump. Thank you, Netanyahu. Thank you very much for making these people a little bit more hateful towards us than they already were.

So, my friends, even Donald Trump said when he signed the agreement that he doesn't want to be Herbert Hoover. That we have, I don't know if this was a mistake or whatever, but it's been confirmed that he's right. He said that we only have about three or four weeks of reserves left. I just showed you a couple minutes ago the reserves. We don't have a lot if there's no oil flowing. And again, let me make it very clear. The United States of America can do gas. I mean, we've got oil. We've got enough to do gas because of the way we refine it. We just don't have the refineries for the diesel, the jet, excuse me, the diesel or the jet fuel. That is huge. That means the US Army will have to come back home. The Navy, everybody will have to come back home because you can't fuel the boats, the ships. People need to wake up and understand where we are here. This is not a spirit of fear. This is a crisis that could get out of control. And if somebody doesn't grab this man by the hair and tell him to get this correct, Donald Trump, then we are going to be in a bad, bad position, and he will be worse than Herbert Hoover because of the dynamics of the economy today compared to the early 1900s is not even close. So it will be a tougher fall. I said this in 2008. I wasn't doing videos and all this stuff. I wasn't even born again in 2008. But 2008 when the housing market crashed, I remember telling all my real estate friends because I'm in real estate. I said, "It's better just to let it all fall, man. Let the banks collapse. Let everybody collapse because right now we'd be in a better position here 17, 18 years later from 2008." But the politicians couldn't do it. Bush couldn't do it. Obama couldn't do it. They couldn't lower their ego and say we need to let this fall where it falls and build it back on good numbers, good fundamentals. We have terrible fundamentals. And that's why you have $40 trillion in debt. And everybody can hold on to that American pride all you want. But when God crushes that American pride, He'll let you know. Everybody knows what God says about pride in the Bible. So I don't know why Americans have any pride about their country or whatever. We should be blessed to have our country and thank God for our country, but not pride and we can do all these things because we're Americans and we can shove it down everybody's throat. Those days are over. Those days are over. And in fact, you're getting the opposite coming around.

So, what am I trying to say? And this will really offend people who are prideful in America, prideful in Israel, prideful about the president, prideful about the prime minister. So, this will offend you, just as a disclaimer. But God is mocking Donald Trump. He's mocking Benjamin Netanyahu. He's mocking these two dynamic duos. Why? Because they're trying to do what He's going to do. And God is going to deal with them, and He is dealing with them. One was born on a blood moon, Donald Trump. Bad for the Jewish people ultimately, and he will leave them in a bad position ultimately. Not that he's trying to do it, he just will because of his decisions and his delusion. And then also Benjamin Netanyahu, born on a solar eclipse. Both of these men were born on the faithful witnesses in the sky. That's warning every Jew and Christian to wake up and understand the signs and the seasons instead of your politics. How is that going, by the way? And He is mocking Donald Trump, mocking Netanyahu. And He will continue to mock both of these men. Because look at what's going on. If you think He's going to give Israel and America a victory right now, you've got another thing coming. Because He's going to show you His biblical prophets of what was prophesied by Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Moses, who everybody says they love, but they're not paying attention to Him. He's telling you Iran is the big boy over there now. And until Turkey rises up to crush them, they will be the big boy. It does not say a foreign nation finishes Iran off. Go read Daniel 8. It's an end-of-the-age prophecy. Turkey rages at them, conquers them, crushes them, and nobody will get Iran out of Turkey's hand. That's it. So America's just fighting. Just keep on losing money, keep on spending money, a billion dollars a day, keep putting American citizens in the toilet. You know, that's all they're doing. And all you're going to have to do is flush. Well, if they don't stop this, if they continue to do this, and if they continue to do ground troops, man, you will have the biggest defeat of your life. And that's what empires do on the decline of empires. The empires always outreach themselves. They always get too arrogant. They always get too prideful. All of them, Nebuchadnezzar, Medo-Persia, Cyrus, Alexander the Great, all of them get arrogant, and they get rocked. And America is on the downfall. This is our Suez Canal moment. If you don't know that history, go look it up. Go do your history. The British Empire was in decline tremendously, kind of like we are. Whether people want to agree with it or not, go look at the numbers. Go look at the economics. You're $40 trillion in debt. What do you think? I mean, we're on the decline. And they went to the Suez Canal trying to remain powerful in the Middle East. And they won the military. They won the military battles, but they lost the strategic war with Egypt. And then the sun did completely set on the British Empire. My friends, this could be your Suez Canal moment, my American friends. And you can thank Donald J. Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu is who you can thank. Because when all this is said and done, you're going to see America continue to turn away from Israel. You'll see America continue to get more anti-Semitic. I'm not saying that in a good way. I'm just giving you biblical prophecy of the fishermen and the hunters. The hunters are going to come to America and provoke the Jewish people to return back because He's going to deal with them. Just like He's provoking Europe, provoking them back, provoking America back. Why Europe? Why America? They're the two most populous Jewish populations in the world. America number two, Europe number three. Really, France number three. That's why you saw all the destruction in 2014 and 15 with the Islamists from the Arab Spring. And now you're going to see it in America. You just elected New York a 12th Imam Shia believer as your mayor. Hello, everybody. Why is that important? Because you've got about two million to three million Jewish people who live in New York, the New York area. The most populated Jewish community in America just elected as mayor, whatever this guy's name is, a 12th Imam believer, Shia Iran. So again, wake up. Understand what's coming to America. Donald Trump will not stop this. JD Vance will not stop this. Whoever else will not stop this, and it's coming. And it's already here. And once Donald Trump leaves office, you will see some really bad stuff in my personal opinion because give the man credit that he is, in my opinion, even though his actions are a little bit sideways with it, in my opinion, he is trying to go against anti-Semitism. He's trying to take up for the Christians. He is doing that to be fair. With that being said, that will not matter. Donald Trump is not your savior. Yeshua is your savior. And this country has committed terrible sins at home and abroad, domestic and international. And God is not lacking in judgment. We've killed about 70 million babies as Americans. 70 million. We've got homosexual laws in our law books up at the federal level. So, you tell me. You tell me. You think this country is going to be blessed by that? You think this country is going to be blessed by a bunch of idolatry by the Christians here? You think so? No. This is Babylon. And we've got to understand that this is Sodom. We've got to understand that. And there will be no victory. Zero. No victories. We haven't had a victory since World War II. When you think about it, show me a victory. I guess Kuwait. Kuwait. Okay. All right. Okay. We beat, we beat Saddam Hussein in Kuwait. Freed the Kuwaitis. Good. That is good. Thank you. Other than that, zero victories at all. And if we can't beat the proxy groups of Iran, I just don't understand how the Israeli government and the American government think they can beat their parent. If they're the proxies, if they're the children of Iran, why do you think you can go meet the daddy? You cannot and you will not. But I tell you who can. Turkey. And that's who I believe Trump will eventually turn to. Maybe because he has to to save face. One thing about President Trump, and I'll say this, and this is whether it's good or bad, people can make their own decision. President Trump seems to me in his life to always wiggle to a solution that makes him not look as bad as it could have been. For that's why they say you cannot con the Don or Teflon Don or all these names that people say. Whatever. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that's what people say. And I believe I said this all along. I believe eventually he's going to turn it to a peace deal, whatever it may be, to try to save face out of this disaster that Benjamin Netanyahu talked him into and David Barnaby talked him into. I'm not blaming them. I'm blaming Trump as well. All three of them. He's a man. He's the president. He makes the decisions, maybe, or who somebody does. Maybe he doesn't make them. But if it's up to him, I believe he's going to get Erdogan involved. He's going to get Syria involved. He's going to rock Hezbollah. The Israelis should like that. Israel should like that. They don't have to do that stuff, and they can't do it because God won't allow them. But He's going to allow Turkey to take control of the Middle East. And Syria is a Turkish proxy. And you're going to see, I believe Trump is right on this. He's going to get Turkey and Syria involved. They're going to crush Hezbollah. All right. Go over to Iran, crush them, and then they'll go down to Egypt and they'll crush them. It could be Egypt and then Iran, Iran, who knows. But that is the Daniel prophecies, everybody, of Turkey. Turkey crushes Iran. They crush Lebanon, Tyre, who Hezbollah, and they crush Egypt. The king of the north, the king of the south. Daniel 11. So Daniel 8, Daniel 11, you're seeing Turkey really stomp across the Middle East with those two. And then they will come down to Jerusalem. Zechariah 8 says that, and also Daniel 8 says that. In my personal opinion, Erdogan, the president of Turkey, is the large horn. I mean, of course, I believe that now. I believed it in 2016 when I wrote the book. So I believe it even more now. So even if he is or he's not, it's not about that. But there will be a big leader that comes out of Turkey. I believe he's the one. He's been in power for about 25 years. So I believe he's that large horn. And then, or if he dies, the next one is whatever, and then after that, he gets broken. In this case, would be Erdogan. He dies, Israel assassinates him, whatever it may be, the little horn, the Antichrist, or what I would call Nebuchadnezzar, because he's going to crush Egypt, crush all over the Middle East, just like Nebuchadnezzar did. And so that will happen again. People call him the Antichrist, but I think you need to look at him as a military commander, Nebuchadnezzar, Islamist coming down. That's what the prophecies of Daniel says. He will rise out of that fertile crescent in that Syria, Iraq, Turkey area. Take out the border lines of today. That makes zero. Who cares? Just look at that area. Look at that Turkey, Syria, Iraq area. And that's why he's called the king of the north, the Assyrian, the king of Babylon, all of these ancient names so that we can, the prince of Tyre, Lebanon, so we can understand where this Antichrist rises from. So again, according to Daniel 8, Iran becomes great, then Turkey crushes them. And when Turkey becomes great, the leader will die. Four kingdoms will rise out of Turkey, out of the 10 kings, four will come out of here, and then this area, and then beast kingdom, Antichrist. So that is what Daniel 8 and the whole book of Daniel would really say to everybody, and you're on that trajectory. And my friends, I mean this honestly, no one's going to come against that. America won't. China won't. Russia won't. Israel won't. It is what it is. And right now, that's why I tell people it's not about politics. It's about the great commission. It's about people to come to Yeshua because the Middle East is full of unbelievers who are going to hell when they die. Muslims and Jews who are not believers. Of course, Muslims aren't. But if a Jewish person is not a believer either, they go to hell. So, don't you think it's time for the great commission to all this political stuff and Netanyahu and Trump's the greatest ever, and the dynamic duo is going to bring in the greater Israel and the golden age of America, and all this gaslighting falsehood is what that is. Falsehood. And basically just lying. No one's going to be able to do that. Christians and Jews should be wise enough to understand that.

So, I think, my friends, I think that's what I've got. I think from a personal level to all my friends out there, all of you out there, please pay attention. Do not take my word. I mean, I just have my opinion. I try to do my research and all that. I'm not always right. I'm not. But just do your research and make your own decisions for your family. This is a very crucial time right now for the global economy. And please understand that it's not about riches. It's not about all that. It's about survival. And I don't think people really realize how bad of a position that America is in financially. And this right here will turn your lives out. The energy market, of course, literally will turn your lights out. So, we haven't seen the ramifications of this because again, they've been manipulating the market. So, if you've kept up with the president and what he's done, he's always spoken about bombing people on the weekends, but after the weekend's over, when the markets are about to open, "Oh, the Iranians want to talk." I mean, if you know how Donald Trump works, you can see what he's doing. I mean, he's a businessman trying to manipulate the markets because of what's going down. I'm not saying that in any kind of way. That's just what he's doing because every person who deals with the oil markets says, "You haven't seen reality yet. You haven't seen reality yet." And they're trying to pull a rabbit out of their hat. And that's not going to be the case on this one. So, I think we've gone through all of the major things that I wanted to go through that I personally see. If anybody has seen anything differently with any of these nations, let me know. But Iraq has changed leadership, which is very important. Please understand Turkey's on the move with Syria. Lebanon is very crucial right now. I think you'll see Erdogan, the Islamist, the president of Syria, come at him, and he'll beat him. He'll beat Hezbollah because of Turkey. Turkey will waft them. Another important thing I forgot to mention with Iraq is Iraq has Iranian Shia militias. There's a lot of Shia in Iraq. And just think about this. Trump is pulling out all of the soldiers, which is smart, by the way, from Iraq, American soldiers. So that leaves the Kurdish people. And the Kurdish people, if you're not sure where they are, they're right around in here. Just right in these areas of these four countries. Erdogan has moved them over to east of the Euphrates River. So they've been moved. They were right in here all through here, basically from the Euphrates up, but now they've been moved over here. And then they're in here, northern Iraq. So with America pulling out of Iraq, Turkey and Syria will keep moving them over. Because Turkey hates the Kurdish people. And Erdogan does as well. So just know that that Turkey and Syria are two big players. It's really one, but they are big players for Lebanon, for Iraq, eventually Iran, eventually Egypt, and also don't forget Gaza as well. As far as the prosperity Islamists who are getting missiles flying through their buildings every day, we'll see what happens. I think you could see there's a lot of Shia that live in these countries. Matter of fact, let me, if you're interested, I will tell you guys this if anybody's interested in some of these stats here. But in the Gulf nations, if one cares, let me pull that up really quick. I was looking at it earlier, and I was really amazed by it because the population of the Shia religion of Islam. So we've got 85 billion, or 82 to 85 million, sorry, not billion, 82 to 85 million Shiites in Iran. That's a lot. That will pull the sword. And then the rest of the Middle East, you have 50 to 55 million. South Asia, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, you have another 55 million. And then the rest of the world about 25 to 40 million, including the New York mayor, by the way. So worldwide, you have about 200 to 260 million Shiites, which is pretty interesting when you look at it. So let me look at these Gulf nations. In Bahrain, little Bahrain, you have up to 1 million Shiites in Bahrain. There have been reports that the Bahrain government of Bahrain has been worried about an uprising of the Shiites to overturn their government. I mean, goodness, you got a million Shiites there. I mean, so yeah, they do need to be careful. Iraq, you have 22 to 25 million Shiites, you know, mostly Shia country. Yemen, you've got 10 to 12 million Shiites. Azerbaijan, 7 to 8 million. Lebanon, two million Shiites. Saudi Arabia, two to three million Shiites, which is a Sunni Wahhabi state. So they've got two to three in Saudi Arabia. Syria has two to three million Shiites. Kuwait, a half a million. UAE, a half a million. And then Qatar, about a hundred thousand. So I didn't realize there was that many Shiites spread out through the Middle East, but apparently they are. I thought they were in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan mainly, and Iraq, those four countries, but I was wrong about that. So we always have to do more research, right? But I would pay attention to the Houthi rebels getting involved in this fiasco if it continues. And just look at what Iran's going to do. I think there's going to be a lot of bad stuff. America's going to do their, of course, they're going to blow up Iran as well, you know, to be fair. But it's again, I don't focus on that because we know America, we know what America can do. But America doesn't realize the response is what the Americans didn't realize. And that's what I'm focused on because we know America can bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. That's what Americans and Israelis do. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. And these people don't go anywhere. Just pisses them off. They reload and they come back even harder. So again, the bombing campaign does not work. I think we've seen that. One thing that I wanted to mention was the munitions. America doesn't have the munitions to go in a long fight anyhow. So even if this does continue, and I'm just giving you my personal opinion from the military commanders that I personally listen to, and also the professors and the CIA people and all these ex-CIA people, that we don't have the munitions to go longer than a couple weeks. Because we've spent all of them in the 12-day war and this past war. If you go look at the ammunition and the munitions, it's kind of like the oil reserves. We're down to the bottom of it. We've been a warning country for 25 years. We can't produce the weaponry that Russia can produce. They're like a machine. Iran is like a machine. Iran can outproduce rockets and missiles more than we can. Please understand that. That's facts, everybody. So, we can't replenish our munitions from what all of the military commanders, generals, and colonels that I listen to, we can't replenish them fast enough to carry on a lengthy war. I mean, goodness. I mean, people talking about going to war with China. That is laughable. We'll get our butts whipped in a week if we go over there because we don't have the munitions. It's not about the soldiers. It's about the politicians wasting our munitions on these Middle Eastern wars. And again, with Israel, you know, for them to do the greater Israel and then be the dominant superpower and all this stuff, which they're not. If America was out of the way, Israel could not beat Iran. They just could not. That is facts. They would not beat Iran. They would not beat Turkey. They can't beat Hamas. They can't beat Hezbollah with America's weaponry. You think they're going to beat Iran and Turkey? So, I just don't understand it, guys, ladies. I don't understand it how we can think we haven't beat the JV teams but we can go beat the varsity teams. That is arrogance. That is prideful. That is idiotic. That is reckless. That is delusional at best. And that is just simple. I mean, we haven't defeated Hamas, Houthis. You think you're going to go there and beat the Persians? Good luck with that. Good luck with that. I mean, that is stupidity. That would be putting our troops in harm's way. And I'm thanking God that we don't have 13s, way too many already to be dead. But goodness gracious, this could get a lot, lot worse. I mean, this could get really, really, really ugly if the president doesn't lower his pride and ego and understand that it's an L, baby. It's an L. It's a loser. I know he doesn't like losers, but it's a loser, and he's going to wear it if he's not careful. If he's not careful, he's going to wear it.

So, friends, I don't mean this in any kind of way. I love our country, the United States of America. I thank God that I was born here all the time. But the truth is the truth. And if we're out of alignment, we're out of alignment. And all this politics stuff, you can have it. You can have it because it's going nowhere. Everybody's into their politicians, and our country is being ruined because of the politicians. Because of the politicians, and yes, the citizens as well, but the politicians have not done us any favor by going over to the Middle East and gaslighting every American of what they've done. And look at what's happened the last 25 years. Go review it yourself. Go look at the stats. Go look at the civilians being killed in the Middle East. Go think about if that was your mother, your father, your little baby, your little girl being murdered over there because of a foreign nation on your land. What if it was you? What if it's our country that they assassinated President Trump and Melania and the little granddaughter and all of these things? We look at it, okay, who cares? They're Muslim. They're Iranians. Who cares? But what if it happened to you? The golden rule, it comes around, everybody. Israel's assassinating all these people. It comes around, everybody. So whenever things start coming the other way around, I don't want to hear anybody crying about this. "Can't believe they killed the president or the prime minister." I would be expecting some of that in the future because the golden rule, baby. It comes around. It comes around every single time. And again, I'm not taking up for Islamists or none of these people, but I'm just trying to tell everybody, if you're out of alignment with God, you're out of alignment. And whatever you do when you are out of alignment is out of alignment. You see what I'm saying? So again, America has dug itself a big hole with the Almighty by being Israel's protector and Israel's God basically. And we're going to pay the price, just like the great prophet Isaiah. Who loves Isaiah? Everybody loves Isaiah out there, Americans. Well, go read Isaiah 30 and 31. You love Jeremiah and Hosea, everybody. American Christians, Jewish people, Israelis, go read them and weep because that's what's coming to Israel, and that's what's coming to America is judgment. "You and your lover, Israel, will be judged," is what the prophets have said. And we have not. We're just like Egypt. We're just like Assyria. And again, Israel's government comes over to our nation for money, for weapons, money, and weapons, weapons, weapons, weapons, because they will not call on Yeshua. But they will whenever the beast kingdom comes upon them. And Antichrist comes upon them. I stand with them. I stand with the Jewish people. But while I stand with them, it's going to be Jeremiah. It's going to be Moses. It's going to be Yeshua. It's going to be Isaiah. It's going to be, "Hey, let's get right. Let's see what they have said. Not what politicians are saying, not what rabbis are saying, not what Christian pastors are saying, Mike Huckabee is saying, John Hagee is saying, any whatever rabbi saying. How is that going, everybody? They look like a bunch of fools who don't know anything because look how it's turned out. Six months ago, the American Christians and Jewish people were thinking we were going to romp Iran like you've never seen. Like a red-headed stepchild. No offense, just a saying. How did that turn out? And now you want to go back for some more? Go ahead, go back for some more. And they'll give it to you. And like I said, they'll give it to you really hardcore. And we'll give it to them as well. But that's not the point. These people will go with you all, I mean, holy war. Let's go. I mean, that's their mindset. And I don't think that Donald has the stomach for that. I don't think he does. Because for a holy war, you think Donald Trump is? He's too much into money and business and all that. He's not ready for this. And I don't think the American people are ready for this either. When you've got 85 million Shiites ready for a holy war, and if you do your research, I think that's where you will land up. So, I love America. I love Israel. I stand with both countries. But boy howdy, we've got some bad times coming. And we need to be the light. We need to be the salt. We need to speak truth, not falsehood, not pride, all this ego, "We're going to go get them, kill all Muslims." That's not the heart of God at all. And that will get your country judged. And that's unfortunately where we are, my friends. Thank you so much for being with us tonight. I know this is not really pleasant to talk about, but it's just the facts. I mean, there's just nothing that I see is good about this other than they have not put ground troops on the ground yet. And even Donald Trump's talking about that, which again, he talks about everything. So you can't take him. I don't take Donald Trump seriously at all. We just see what happens because he just talks all over the place. Some people call it the art of the deal. I call it unstable in all of his ways is what I call it. There's a way to negotiate with the art of the deal, and there's just stupidity, and just throwing everything against the wall, thinking that people are going to look at you in a sane way. Take yourself out of America, the world, Europe, Asia, Africa. They look at our president like he's out of his mind. Go look it up. I mean, only the American Trump supporters don't look at it that way. People in America look at him like that. But Asia, Africa, Europe, go think about what they think about Donald Trump. He's all over the place. We don't have any credibility. We don't have any respect. We don't win wars. No one's come to help us with the wars. That's big. I forgot to mention that. There's a reason why the European nations don't come over to the Middle East anymore. There's a reason France didn't take up the baton. There's a reason Italy, Georgia Maloney said no way, Jose. There's a reason Spain said no. There's a reason England. There's a reason because they know they've had missiles flying through their country if they did. So I'm not sure what kind of intelligence that the Israelis or the Americans are getting. We give our CIA and we give the Mossad all this credit, and we should, because they are good at what they do, but the last two or three years they have been horrible with their intelligence with Iran. They've disrespected these people. They don't know their capability. They didn't know their missile program. They didn't know biblical prophecy, number one, first and foremost. They didn't know Iran is the big boy over there, not Israel. Iran is just, look at it. Take America out of the way. Iran would defeat Israel. 93 million versus 7 million. It's pretty simple when you look at it. So if it wasn't for America, Iran and Israel, that would be ugly. If it wasn't for America, it would be ugly for Israel a lot. And that's why God is going to take America out of the way because the Israelis trust America and not Yeshua. They've got to trust. "You will see Me no more until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of Adonai.'" So that's just where we are. Hard conversation, but in my mind, the facts are on the ground that proves all of this is what it is. It just is what it is, everybody. And as soon as we can do the great commission and turn people to the best of our ability through the power of the Holy Spirit to Yeshua, that's where we live. And let all this stuff work itself out. Kingdom against kingdom, nation against nation. Go ahead. But we can't get caught up in the politics of that and think all this killing and all this murder going on in the Middle East is kosher with God. It is not kosher with God. He warned us that it was going to happen. That doesn't mean it's kosher with Him because of violence is all over the earth over there, you know. So, there's a long process ahead for the Middle East. And they do need prayer tremendously because they do deserve what they get. I'm going to go ahead and tell you that they do deserve it. All that spirit of hate over there, all over the Middle East, including Israel. Yes, they deserve it. The beast kingdom so that they can get corrected, just like I deserve what I got. Just like you deserve what you may have gotten before you were born again. So God is like that. Whom He loves, He chastises. He loves Israel, so He'll chastise them. He loves America, He'll chastise us. So my friends, thank you so much for being with us tonight. I do really appreciate it. I know it's not pleasant stuff, but it will not be pleasant in the Middle East until Yeshua returns. There will be a false peace, but it'll be a false peace. And we just need to understand what Paul said about that. So friends, thank you so much for being the watchmen and watching all these things as well, watching these things go down. And a watchman on the wall is not political. A watchman on the wall is not into politics. A watchman on the wall is into prophecy, is into the biblical prophets. That is what a watchman is. Like Ezekiel is. That is what a watchman is. A watchman is not "Go Trump, go Netanyahu, go and conquer the promised land." That will get both countries judged, which we're about to be there. A watchman is watchful in the truth of the Torah and through the biblical prophets and through Yeshua's writings and through the New Testament writings, through Revelation. That is a watchman, not someone who's in the politics all up and down the street because they think either one of these people or Obama or Biden or Ariel Sharon or whoever you want to talk about is going to be the savior of Israel and America and the Jewish people. How is that going, by the way? Anti-Semitism is higher than it's ever been before. So I think Benjamin Netanyahu has been the worst thing for Israel, but at the same time, God will turn them over to someone like Benjamin Netanyahu to put them into the beast kingdom to get them to repent because of the behavior in the promised land. I love the Jewish people. I stand with them. I've got Jewish family, for goodness sakes. At the same time, it is what it is. The great commission in the Bible, it is what it is. And I make no beefs about it to my family, to my friends, to anybody that we are going to get a big correction in Israel and America like we have never seen before. Yeshua said that. So I think those times are coming in the next two to three years. I think you're going to see some things that will put you very close. If it continues, I'll paraphrase. If it continues the way it's continuing, you could find yourself into the third kingdom of Turkey and almost into the 10 kings by the time the new *shmita* cycle begins on the Feast of Trumpets 2029. For those who believe that we are entering into the tribulation on 2029, the Feast of Trumpets, I'm not saying I do. We'll just have to wait and watch. But if we do believe we could be seeing that on the Feast of Trumpets 2029, that last *shmita* cycle, if you will, because it'll be on the *shmita* cycle, then get ready. You're going to see some transitional things in the next three years. Because Feast of Trumpets 2026 is only three years away from the next *shmita* cycle, which will, one of these cycles will be the tribulation period of seven years. If you're not familiar with that *shmita* when I say that seven-year, they call it the tribulation period. I say the seven-year purification period for the Jews and the Christians to get corrected with God. So seven years, everybody knows that was going to be on the Leviticus 25, seven-year cycle. The *shmita* in Hebrew is what it's called. And that new cycle begins on the Feast of Trumpets 2029, which means there will be no rapture this year on the Feast of Trumpets or next year. So just understand that when you hear these things. But the next two to three, next three years, my friends, is going to tell the tale. The next two and a half years with Donald Trump will definitely tell the tale and what's going to happen. Look at the first year and a half of his administration. Look at what has moved in biblical prophecy with Gaza, with Syria, with Turkey, with Lebanon, now with Iran. He's moving biblical prophecy like we said he would. Escalation, everybody. Escalation. Escalation. Intensification. Netanyahu and Trump, the dynamic duo is for the end of the age. They're the setup kings for the end. Everybody, please understand that and not get caught up in all this falsehood of the golden age. And how's that going, by the way? You're going to find the golden age. All right. You'll find the golden age in about six months to eight months. You will see it. The golden age in a bad way. The greater Israel. How's that going? So, again, friends, get out of the politics. I know you guys are, but whoever is still in there, get out of your politics and get into the prophets. The prophets will dictate everything. That's why it's easy to come online and say what we say because we're just following the book of Daniel, and no one's going to get in the way of that, including everybody's idol president or everybody's idol prime minister. They're just not.

So, thank you again, everybody. We hope everybody's having a great Rosh Chodesh. And we really appreciate everybody being with us. Tough conversation. I know everybody that isn't American loves America. We love our soldiers. It's not about any of that. Or actually, it is about that to get them out of harm's way, from the Middle East for what's about to come upon the people in the Middle East. And thank God that Trump is wise enough to know that with Iraq. And now, let's keep getting them out. That's the prayer. Trump supporters, that's the prayer, not all this crazy stuff. Get our troops out of what eventually will become the beast kingdom. Because no one's going to come across that except for Yeshua. So, thank you so much, everybody. Rosh Chodesh again to everybody out there. We hope everybody has a great week. We'll be back with you tomorrow night for the second part of the book of Jeremiah that we're doing with King Jehoiakim. And the reason we're doing that is to show what we're dealing with today. You know, we're dealing with the same thing today. Jeremiah will be saying the same thing today as he did back to the ancestors. So, we went through the first king, King Josiah, who was a righteous king, the first video. So, if you didn't see that one, you can check that out on the website or YouTube. And now we're going through the second reign of who Jeremiah dealt with was Jehoiakim. So, when I mean by that is the book of Jeremiah is not written in order. So, what we're trying to do is trying to take it by the king's reigns. Because by their reigns, history will go down, right? So, I think it's wise to read Jeremiah by King Josiah's reign, King Jehoiakim's reign, King Zedekiah's reign, and then the Day of the Lord, which is Jeremiah 46-52. So, we'll be going through all of those, but we'll go through the second one, King Jehoiakim, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. So, we hope to see you there. We'll go through the Jeremiah chapters and then give a summary of it, and then we'll look at it for today as well. We'll look at what happened in history, the warning. We'll look at what's on the ground now in Israel and see what they're trying to tell us to repent. The book of Jeremiah. And then Friday night, a Shabbat night, we will be back with you for the next Hebrew letter that we're doing on the "Lamed" series. It will be the letter Zadi, which is a beautiful letter, Zadik. We all want, we all want to be a Zadik, a righteous person, a righteous Zadik. So, we'll be going through that. So, we've got two more videos for this week. We've been with you for two nights. We'll be with you for two more nights. And we really appreciate everybody spending time with us as we talk about some of these hard things that we have to understand at the end of the age. We've got to get, if I can say this before we go to the comments, we've got to get acclimated, that would be a good word, acclimated to where we are on the prophetic timeline. We've got to get acclimated to what we're about to go down to, what we're about to see. We've got to get our hearts circumcised for what we're about to see go down. It's not going to be good. It's not going to be pretty. That's the end of the age. Yeshua says that. Jesus says that. Matthew 24. Also, the prophets say that. Daniel 12 says that. A time of trouble like no other. And we're headed towards that area, because of the behavior of the world, including God's people, Jews and Christians. So the entire world's out of alignment, and He's going to get His remnant in alignment with judgment, so to speak, and chastisement, like He always does, and this is what He always does in history.
