In this segment: Chadwick warns that Saudi Arabia and Gulf nations face significant danger from Houthi attacks and potential Iranian militia incursions into Kuwait. He asserts that Israel's current moral state, including widespread homosexuality and abortion, means God will not grant them victories, and highlights the convergence of prophecy with the formation of a major Sunni alliance including Turkey, Arabia, and Pakistan.
No matter what, it's a bad look. And Iran, again, people need to understand to respect these people, to understand these people are smart people. They've been around 2700 years. We've been around 250 years. So people need to get off their high horse. The Americans need to get off their pride and their ego and to understand what we're fighting over here. And it was the stupid decision to go over there by Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald J. Trump. Because now look at what you got. And there's no way out of this right now. And now Trump is trying to get everybody in the world to help him. Well, I thought we could do it. I thought we didn't need anybody's help. He's calling everybody in the world. And I do believe Turkey's going to step into this situation. And whenever they do, just like the prophecy says, look up because your redemption is nigh. Whenever Turkey gets involved, because they will trample the Middle East, and everybody will be under Turkey's control.
No one will do anything about that. And again, to all of our Israeli friends and Jewish friends out there, it's just not our time yet. It's just not our time yet to be the kingdom of Israel. It's just not our time to be the superpower of the Middle East. That is the work of our own hands. Everybody, go look at the prophecy of Daniel. Daniel has the kingdom of Israel being restored after the four gentile kingdoms come to power, including the beast kingdom. You've got Babylon or Iraq, Iran, Turkey, beast kingdom, and then Yeshua. So, please understand that. And what did Yeshua say in Acts 1:6-7 for all of our Christian Zionist friends and Jewish Zionist friends? What did he say in Acts 1:6-7? The disciples asked him, "When will you, Yeshua, restore the kingdom back to Israel?" That was the question. So again, no one is going to restore the kingdom back to Israel, not the Israeli government, until He does it.
That would be idolatry. That would be absolutely almost stupidity. If anybody thinks that the Israeli government is going to conquer the promised land, number one, militarily speaking, they cannot do that. Even with America, they cannot do that. How's that going? We can't beat Hamas. Can't beat Hezbollah. Can't beat the Houthis. Can't beat Iran. No way. So again, we've got to get realistic. We've got to help our Jewish friends out, our Israeli friends out, our American friends out, our Christian friends out who are all deceived, thinking that they're going to conquer everything, and America and Israel is the greatest thing since sliced bread. No, we are not. We're called Sodom and Gomorrah. Israel's called that in the Bible by every prophet, including the Apostle John, who said that about Israel after they were destroyed in AD 70. So again, that's what the prophets called them, and that's what John the Revelator called him, who laid on Yeshua's bosom, his one of his beloved disciples, called Jerusalem Sodom.
And that was after the destruction of the Romans in AD 70. If the book of Revelation was written in AD 90 or whatever it is, that was 20 years after the destruction of the Romans, and he still called it Sodom. Well, now go look at why he called it Sodom. Go look at Israel. Go look at the homosexuality in Israel. Go look at the homosexuality city of Sodom in June 1st through June 4th. Go look at it, and the Israeli government sponsoring that and supporting that. Go look at Tel Aviv, one of the biggest homosexual cities in the world. And if anybody thinks that the God of Israel is going to give Israel any victories because of that, that's just illiterate, if I can be nice about it. That's totally illiterate of the Bible. If people think that Israel, abominations all over the land, homosexuality, abortion, sometimes free abortion, go get a free abortion. Abominations all over the land with moss, Christmas trees, Easter eggs, I mean, good gosh, just name it.
Shmita breaking, Sabbath breaking. No, no victories until they repent. Until they repent. Because it's pretty embarrassing when you've got Israel and America, one of the greatest powers in the world at the time, America supporting you, and we cannot beat Hamas. We cannot beat Hamas. We cannot beat Hezbollah. We've been breached by Hamas. We've been breached by Hezbollah. We've been breached by the Houthis. We've been breached by Iran. Don't you think the God of Israel is trying to wake up the Israelis? Don't you think the God of Israel is trying to wake up the Jewish people? We've been breached. Breach, breach, breach. Go read the Bible and go look what that means. To our Jewish friends and Christian Zionist friends, you've been breached for a reason, for Him to wake you up in Israel and say He's coming soon, and judgment's coming before that. Not the redemption now. Judgment's now. You know, too many of our Jewish Israeli friends and rabbis are there looking for the Messiah.
Yes, but not yet. The time of Jacob's trouble is now. The Antichrist is now, or Nebuchadnezzar. So, that's the message to our friends. If one loves people, if one loves the Jewish people, if one loves the Israelis and the Americans and the Christian Zionists, to get their theology and their eschatology corrected because what they're trying to do, they will never be able to do that until they call on Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. That should be common sense for the Christians. I'm not saying it for the Jews, for the Christians who believe in Jesus. That should be absolutely Bible 101, Gospel 101, that He's going to do this. Goodness gracious, where's our eschatology at? Where's our love for the Messiah at? But what I've come to know is people love man and not Messiah. That's what I've come to know. People want man to do it instead of Him to do it because we want our glory, our pride, our ego.
Go look at some of these leaders over in Israel. Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, Netanyahu. Do you think God's going to give them the victory to conquer the promised land? Goodness gracious. That would not be good. That would be idolatry, that a pagan Israeli government who is out of alignment with Yeshua and out of alignment with God, that they're going to be able to do that. That just doesn't even make any common sense, much less biblical sense. And it's time for people to be really real with our friends in Israel and the Jewish people and the Christians and everybody, the Muslims and all people, to understand that this area right here that you're seeing on this map, these inhabitants right here, they are about to get the business. They are about to get the beast kingdom. These people right here, and guess what? God would not give it to them if they didn't deserve it. He would not do it if they didn't deserve it.
So all of their behavior over there, in the Middle East, all of the brothers over there, Israel, Ishmael, Esau, all of the brothers over there, they're going to get it, tremendously, with the beast kingdom, according to the biblical prophets, because they hate each other. I've never seen so much hatred in my life as the Middle East, Muslim against Muslim, Jew against Jew, Jew against Muslim, Christian against Jew, Jew against Christian. No, they all deserve it to get their heart postures corrected into the right understanding of loving God and loving neighbor and even loving your enemy if you want perfected love like Yeshua said. But these folks, they don't have it, as a whole. As a whole, please take me in context. As a whole, this region does not have any love in their bodies. They just do not. All they have is hate and war and terror for about 6,000 years. And that's why God's about to let them go.
And that's what I say. That's what I say. Get America and our money and our troops and our weapons out of there so that we don't get judged. Even though we're going to get judged, maybe it'll be a lesser judgment. Get out of the Middle East and let these brothers fight each other all they want and go. I mean, goodness gracious. I mean, that's just what I say. I mean, I've seen too much of this. Go let them fight. America, get out of the way. And let these people go at it. In Israel, call on the God of Israel. Call on the King of Israel, Yeshua, because until you do, you're not going to win. You're just not. That is biblical prophecy, and that should be common sense that Israel will not conquer the promised land or the greater Israel until He returns. Again, we can't beat the terrorist groups right now. So, I think we need to have a little check-up from the neck up and a heart position check as well on if we're in alignment with God.
And no, we're not. Oh, excuse me. We are in alignment because of biblical prophecy, but it's not good. If that makes any sense. It's only going to get worse and worse and worse for the inhabitants of the Middle East because of their behavior towards God and each other. Remember, there's a lot of unbelievers over in the Middle East. Everybody, there's not too many believers in Yeshua over in the Middle East. You've got 500 million Muslims. Of course, they don't believe in Yeshua. Think about that. You've got about seven to eight million Jews in Israel. I don't know what percentage, but maybe a couple hundred grand would be believers out of that seven or eight million. I hope at least that many. But at max, 100, 200 grand, maybe. You'd have to go try to figure that out, but not a lot. And then you've got the Christians that are over there as well, which, you know, who knows how many Christians are over there, but it's not many.
It's not many compared to all the inhabitants of the Middle East. So, there's a reason why God's going to deal with these people is because they have rejected, Jew and Muslim has rejected the Son of God. That's the bottom line, everybody. People can be offended all they want, but the Jews and Muslims as a whole have rejected Yeshua the Messiah. And guess what's coming? The sword, the famine, and the pestilence to Israel and to their nations. So, people don't realize that Israel is going to be right there in the judgment as well. Please go understand that. Please go look at what Zechariah 14 says. The Jewish prophet says, "Go read what Isaiah says." Everybody loves the prophets, but until they read them, and then when they read them, they don't like them because of what they say. And that's what they said about Moses, too. Everybody loves Moses till they read him. And then they call Moses calls everybody out, including myself, of my paganism, of my idolatry, of my abominations.
And then, oh, that's legalism. You know, people look for an excuse to have disobeyed. Pretty, pretty interesting. But friends, it's getting real over in the Middle East. You're talking about biblical prophecy. I mean, it's right here at you. And for all of the biblical prophecy students out there like myself who love biblical prophecy in a very responsible way, my friends, you are seeing the pieces come together as one. You've seen the agreement with Turkey, Arabia, and Pakistan, three major Sunni nations. They say Egypt could join the party. They've got about a half a million army. LCC is a general, by the way. So, we've got to understand this is coming together. Syria is basically a Turkish state. He is a terrorist in Syria who Trump seems to love so much. So, again, this is going to turn really, really interesting. One thing, another thing I'd like to mention here is Lebanon right now.
We all know that the war between Hezbollah and Israel, that Israel has gained, I think if I can show you just an estimate, they've gained this land of the Litani River on down in southern Lebanon as a buffer to the inhabitants in northern Israel, which I think for the Israeli perspective is very smart because Hezbollah will fire rockets into northern Israel, so to speak. So, that was very smart, but that's where they've got the land there. They've got the Golan Heights, which was theirs to begin with, but they've got the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, which there's been reports that Assad, who is the terrorist who runs Syria, who's a Turkish agent, he has told Israel to basically they've got to withdraw from Syria's territory. So again, those were basically orders from Erdogan. If it comes from Assad, it comes from Erdogan because of what his goals are. But there is a Christian president in Lebanon, President Michel Aoun.
And you talk about someone in a bad situation, goodness gracious. Alive. Just think about it from his perspective. If you're, he's a Christian leader in the Middle East, and like I said, there's not too many believers over there, even though Lebanon has 20 to 30% of their population as Christians. So, we've got to keep that in mind. And Israel does as well when they're bombing all these villages and all this stuff because there's been Christians who have been killed or murdered doing that. So, we've got to be very careful and look at this as a very balanced situation because there are Christians over there. It's not just about supporting Israel only. It's about supporting our brothers as well, our Christian brothers and sisters over there who are being killed as well. So again, it's a very balancing act between biblically supporting Israel and also we have believers over here who are being killed in Gaza and Lebanon, Iran, etc., Christians.
So, it's a very balancing act. But back to President Aoun, back to Lebanon. Basically, he has come out and said that they, I believe they've reached an agreement. Whatever that agreement is, we'll come to find out that the fighting is going to stop, so to speak. But if you can look at it from his perspective, from the Christian, and I'm not saying I'm not speaking for him, I'm just saying from my personal opinion, if he's looking north, east, and south, just look at what President Aoun's looking at in Lebanon. Up north, you've got a lunatic Erdogan, who is just an evil guy, who some people believe could be the large horn, the first king, or some people call him the Antichrist. He's not the Antichrist. He's that first king that has to come before the Antichrist comes next. But President Aoun, up north, you've got crazy Erdogan. To the east, you've got a terrorist Assad. How lovely. To the south, you've got Benjamin Netanyahu.
I mean, what could be better? You've got Erdogan, Assad, and Netanyahu surrounding you. What could be better if you are the president of Lebanon, a Christian president? So, I say that in jest, and kind of laughing a little bit, but goodness gracious. I mean, look at these guys. And if I can also say this as well, and I've got to be very careful of this for sure, because of biblical prophecy and how God looks at Esau, and God hates Esau, He hates Edom and all these things that we know. But if I can be balanced with this, you know, King Abdullah II of Jordan, I think everybody knows him. He's been in power a long time. He looks about the only one of the only peaceful people over there. Actually, when you look at him speak, when you look at him talk, he's not invading anybody. He's not wanting to go to war. America's using his bases. America's using and abusing him like we always do. We're going to use our bases in Jordan.
Well, Iran's blowing those up. So, Jordan's been one of the quietest countries over there, caught in the middle of it, if I can be fair, even though I know what God says about Esau, He hates him. But he does love people, and if someone does repent who is from Jordan or whatever, then they'll be in the kingdom. So, anyhow, I just find that interesting that Esau, who in the Bible is a bad guy, and in the end will be a bad guy, right now they've been one of the quietest countries. You know, them and Iraq, except for the Iranian militias in Iraq. So, I just found this talking interesting, and he's been probably one of the most kind of, gosh, that guy's been in power for how long? 30 something years or something. And he's been one of the most level-headed, I think, leaders over there, if I can just be honest, you know, just hearing him speak at the UN council and just hearing him speak and all this stuff.
