In this segment: Chadwick explains that Iran is prophesied to destroy Saudi Arabia, and all nations will eventually unite against Israel. He details Daniel 8's prophecy where Turkey will dominate Iran, and highlights America's declining oil reserves, questioning the wisdom of prolonged Middle East conflicts.
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.
