In this segment: Chadwick predicts Turkey's imminent involvement in the Middle East due to America's lack of munitions, initiating the Sunni vs. Shia war, likely influenced by Trump's transactional diplomacy. He mentions the potential for Jacob's trouble in the next seven-year cycle and emphasizes the need for Israel's repentance and belief in Yeshua, the Messiah, before His return.
Everyone who is out of alignment will get the beast kingdom. That whole area will be turned over to a Nebuchadnezzar-like figure. That figure will crush Sudan, Libya, Egypt, and then go to Israel. This is described in Daniel 11:40-43. Isaiah 19 speaks about Egypt, referred to as Mitsereim. It states that Egypt will be turned over to a cruel master and then delivered afterward, with a remnant remaining. A highway will be built from Egypt through Israel to Assyria. Isaiah 19 beautifully says, "Egypt is my people, Assyria is the work of my hands, and Israel is my inheritance." God calls Egypt His people in Isaiah 19, referring to the remnant. His people are whoever believes in Yeshua the Messiah at the end of the age. The Nebuchadnezzar figure will trample over the Middle East, conquering three nations, and the other seven will join him to battle Israel. This is where Ezekiel 38 comes in. The word of the Lord came saying, "Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and bring you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them wielding swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya shall be with them; all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many peoples with you.'"
So, who are these "many peoples"? They are the Islamists. They come together in Revelation 13 with one mind. The Sunni and the Shia, though they hate each other, hate Israel even more. They will come together. After Turkey dominates Iran and crushes it, Iran will fall under Turkish leadership. Similarly, Sudan, Egypt, and Libya will fall. After Turkey crushes Egypt, as described in Daniel 11 concerning the king of the north versus the king of the south, Turkey will come down to Judah and conquer Libya, Sudan, and Egypt.
This is what Turkey will do at the very end. All of this is coming near the new Sabbatical cycle. That seven-year cycle, called the Sabbatical year, will be the last seven years on that cycle. This cycle is in three years. If things continue as they are with worldly leaders, you could be facing those seven years again. We will have to keep watching. If it continues as it has in the first two years of Donald Trump's return to office, consider the next three years. This could move rapidly into the Turkish kingdom, which is the third kingdom, and after that, it slides into the 10 kings and the beast kingdom. This is something to pay close attention to in the next three years. If things continue to decline as quickly as they are, you will be in for an interesting seven years, the next seven, from 2029 to 2036. It could be the time of Jacob's trouble, or it might not be. We will have to pay attention and see what unfolds.
There are other things happening in the Middle East and North Africa, but they are not as significant as the conflict with Saudi Arabia, the Houthis, Kuwait, the Iraqi militias, and the US-Iran war. Reports indicate that America will go back at it with the Iranians. This is what is being spoken about. It is uncertain how long this would last due to a lack of munitions. This is not a good look for our country, and the statistics prove it. Even business metrics prove it. When the president is begging Vladimir Putin to release diesel, that is a bad look. When Donald Trump is calling Vladimir Putin, whom he is trying to defeat through Ukraine, to ask him to release some diesel to prevent the market from crashing, please someone explain that. Russia has become rich from America's involvement in Iran. For a businessman like Donald Trump to do this is pathetic, as he has made Russia richer by counteracting his own goals.
Russia is getting more money, and now he is asking Russia for help, begging them to release diesel because America is in a bind with Iran and cannot get out of it. How embarrassing is that? God is mocking the United States of America and Donald Trump. He is mocking Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. He will use the enemies of Israel to mock them. Please read the Bible, the Torah, and what Moses said. You can confirm this throughout the first five books of the Bible, the Torah, which is called the law of Moses, but is truly the law of God. If you obey, if you are obedient in the land of Israel, if you keep His ordinances, statutes, and commandments, then you will enjoy the land of milk and honey. But if you do not, the God of Israel Himself will bring Hamas against you, Hezbollah against you, the Houthis against you, Iran against you, Nebuchadnezzar against you, and Antiochus Epiphanes IV against you, as in the Hanukkah story.
You must understand how the God of Israel works in the promised land. Just because they are the Jewish people in the promised land does not mean they can do whatever they want. In fact, it is the opposite; it is very strict. Obey, or Nebuchadnezzar is coming. He does this, just as he did in Jeremiah's days and the days of all the prophets. Little by little, He breaches them. Hezbollah has breached them. Hamas has breached them. The Houthis are breaching them. Wake up. Repent. Repent. Repent. All I see is more pride, more pride, more pride. Then, he will breach them again with the Houthis, breach them with Iran, breach them with Turkey, and breach them for sure with the beast kingdom and Antichrist Nebuchadnezzar. Then, a third of the Jewish people will repent, and then Yeshua will come. Our Jewish and Israeli friends, and the world, have a long road ahead. Israel has Iran to deal with, then Turkey.
Even Netanyahu has said that Turkey is next, and he is right. Israel also has the 10 kings to deal with, and the two witnesses. Whoever they are, the Jewish people will not like them, nor will Christians or Muslims. They will have to deal with the two witnesses who will bring plagues and famine, and no rain for three and a half years, like Elijah did. Then comes the Antichrist, Nebuchadnezzar, and then Yeshua with the sword on the 10 days of Awe. People need to have a different conversation with our Jewish and Israeli friends. They have a long, difficult road ahead with Iran, Turkey, the beast kingdom, the two witnesses, famine, and drought. The two witnesses will bring judgment. Then Nebuchadnezzar will take half the city into captivity. You know what happens to the women; just read it. Then comes Yeshua for the 10 days of Awe for those who are stiff-necked in this world. The world, especially our Israeli friends, has a long trajectory ahead.
Now is not the time for pride or ego, or to conquer anything. Now is the time to get on our faces, on our knees, repent, and call on the Jewish Messiah to deliver us all, not just Israel, but all of us from the nations, from America, from Europe, from Australia, from all these other places. This is the heart posture, and this is what is coming according to the biblical prophets. No one will be able to stop that, not even Donald Trump, the Christian Zionists, or the Jewish Zionists. He cannot stop anything right now. Who has Donald Trump stopped in the Middle East? Not Iran, not the Houthis, not Hezbollah, not Hamas. Not the Taliban, who got out anyway. No one. People have this comic book image of a Superman hero, but that's not it. Take your Venezuela victory and do with it what you will. This is not Venezuela; this is the Middle East, where empires go to die, and this empire is going there as well.
We have only ourselves to blame. Don't blame anyone else; don't be victims. Blame yourselves and take accountability for what we have done in the Middle East by killing two million innocent civilians. Put it on us, put it on Israel, put it on our side, and stop blaming everything on the Islamists. I have never seen so much victimhood in my life as with some Christians and Jews. It's always about the Islamists. Who cares what the Islamists do? Who cares if Iran gets a nuclear weapon? Where is everyone's faith? Do you have faith in Israel's government and America's government to stop Iran? Do you have trust in Yeshua? Choose one or the other. I have my trust in Him. If I do good, I will be taken care of. If Israel does good, they will be taken care of. So why are we worried about the enemy? Why are we worried about the Islamists when God says through Moses, "My Jewish friends, worry about you, your nation, your personal accountability, and you will be taken care of.
And if you don't, and blame everybody else, the Islamists, then He will give it to you." Israel is not a victim. Israel is one of the strongest countries there, with the strongest military because of America, but they are still the strongest. They are not victims. They have more weapons than anyone else because of America. Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis do not have those weapons, and yet you still can't beat them. God is trying to tell the Israelis and all of us who love Israel to wake up, repent, get out of your pride, get out of your egos. There are no victories until Yeshua. This is a hard message for people to understand, but these are the facts. It's obvious that we have seen this over and over again, with the same results. This is insanity. We have insane government and religious people who think we are going to beat the Islamists. That is not biblical. Please read what the prophets say, what Yeshua said, and what they say about who the enemies are.
They have always been the enemies who hated Israel and the God of Israel, which are the surrounding nations, as described in the table of nations in Genesis 10. I am not trying to be negative, but it is a negative world out there. You have to understand where we are. People can call it negative, doomsday, but I do not believe in doomsday. I believe in the return of the Messiah. It will be ugly until that time, but the world will not end. Time will keep going into the millennial kingdom. I would be looking for Yeshua, not worrying about anyone else but Yeshua the Messiah, and worrying about what He has said through His prophets. The reason they were persecuted and killed is that Israel will face a very hardcore time at the end of the age until they repent. If you love the God of Israel and the King of Israel, you are speaking to the Jewish people out of love for them to be corrected and to be a part of the kingdom of Israel in the millennial kingdom, by believing in Yeshua.
That is the only way. Believe in Yeshua. It is time for the great commission to Israel, and to the nations. People forget about the great commission to Israel because they think everyone is good. No, they are not good. They are mostly non-believers and they need Yeshua. That is why we are going to see what we are going to see. The main things discussed are the Iran-America-Israeli war and the Saudi Arabia-Houthi war. Neither of those are going well for our side, in my personal opinion. Regarding Yeshua bin David, who claims to be the Messiah, he is just another false person. It is unfortunate that people believe in such things. Yeshua said, "For as lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." People need to get ready for the Jewish Messiah to come with the sword, because He said wherever the carcasses are, He will be there. The "sweet little baby Jesus" stuff needs to go.
He has already done that. Now it is the sword, the fire, and the King of Israel, the Holy One of Israel, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, coming to take care of business. No more of this light stuff, no more of this yo-yo stuff. Let's get serious because He is coming with a bad attitude, especially for false people like this Yeshua bin David. He is false, just like Bar Kochba was a false messiah. The Bar Kochba revolt was crushed by the Romans, and everyone with him was crushed. A couple hundred thousand were killed because of false understanding. This is another false understanding. Whoever this guy is, he is false. This is not the time. Some Jewish people and Gentiles will be deceived, but this is another false prophet, false messiah, and he will be dealt with. The Jewish people who follow this guy will be dealt with, just as Bar Kochba was dealt with. Yeshua said, "I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me.
If another comes in his own name, him you will receive." John 5:43 calls out this guy because he is false and using Yeshua's name, Yeshua ben David, which is a mockery. He is false and will be dealt with, as will those who follow him. It is a powerful statement by Yeshua. We must not be deceived. That is why we discuss these things, so that we are all not deceived. If someone can come across straightforwardly and tell me, I would appreciate it, so I am not deceived. I would rather have someone tell me straightforwardly, even in a stern way. Pay attention, because the temple is coming. It is likely to be built in the summertime. You are starting to hear about it now, and you will see it even further. The false messiah and the temple must happen before the very end of the Sabbatical year. Regarding the explosions at the airport, terrifying. The Houthi rebels are murderers. You can see the explosions online, on YouTube.
I do not believe in everything that Mario Nawfal says on his channel, but he does a good job of balancing things out. He has generals, colonels, and influential people on his show. If you want news that is not tilted, you can listen to him, but you have to filter through their opinions. He has had guests like Tom Barrick, the ambassador to Lebanon and Turkey. You can see and filter through the information. Again, I do not agree with a lot of it, but the information is valuable for evaluating the Middle East. You have to filter it, just like you filter American media. You can see these explosions online. You can see the United States air bases and military bases destroyed on satellite images. Do not just listen to the American government. When things are going badly all over the place with all this craziness, you can tell it is going bad. Just look on the ground and see what is going down.
My friend in Tampa, Florida, used to tell me, "Well, come on down, clown." I say that to people now in all fun and good. Look around, clown, at what is going down. If we do, we will be okay. If not, we will be caught like a thief in the night. This goes into what we discuss on the channel: the calendar, the feast days, the times and seasons, and the prophecies that go along with them. The prophecies will go along with the Sabbatical cycle. Keep your eye on three years from now. It's a long time, but it's really not. In three years, if it continues this way, if the temple is built, and more Jewish people are returning to Israel, then you can look at that seven-year period. If not, then we have to look at the next seven. It's not about setting dates, but about knowing the times and seasons and being on the Sabbatical cycle to understand how these prophecies align with it. When Turkey gets involved, it's a new season.
