In this segment: Chadwick discusses the Persia Empire's dominance and Turkey's role in challenging it, referencing Trump's views on Israel and Hezbollah. He details a significant four-nation Sunni Islamist pact involving Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey, highlighting their combined military and financial power.
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.
