In this segment: Chadwick criticizes the current Israeli government for its evil actions, including supporting racist movements and implementing the Hannibal Directive, noting that many ultra-Orthodox rabbis oppose it. He asserts that all governments are evil for killing innocent people and will face Yeshua's judgment, emphasizing the Mosaic covenant's role in Israel's obedience in the land.
Many people are speaking out, but I don't watch everyone all the time. I want to be clear that many rabbis in Israel, especially the ultra-Orthodox, are against these actions and are being persecuted by the government. This government is out of alignment. While they need Yeshua, they have the right heart position in recognizing the government's wrongdoing. I stand with them. However, too many people support this government and the Kahan movement, which is a racist movement. Ben-Gvir is part of this movement, and it gives Israel a bad image globally. The image of Israel that most of us grew up with is gone due to this government.
Netanyahu has ruined this image by vaccinating his own people in 2020, which is evil. The Hannibal Directive, where they kill their own people to prevent kidnapping and ransom, is also evil. The defense minister admitted on Israeli television that they instituted it. They murdered their own people. This is not a good government; it is an evil government. I do not support this. The Israeli government will be judged tremendously.
We need to wake up and help our Christian, Jewish, and Israeli friends realize they have been indoctrinated and are misinterpreting prophecies. They are applying "Day of the Lord" scriptures from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel to the present time. For example, they believe the Gaza prophecies are happening now, but these will only be fulfilled when Yeshua returns and destroys the entire coast, including Ashdod and Ascalon.
Another example is Jeremiah 49, which speaks of God placing His throne in Ilam, in the southwest corner of Iran. Even friends who love Israel had to be told that God would not give the Israeli government the authority to place His throne there, as they do not believe in the King of Israel. He will do this Himself. This is a great example, especially concerning Iran, as people are out of their minds, thinking they will fulfill these prophecies instead of the King of Israel. God will place His Father's throne in Ilam, not the Israeli government. Isaiah 19 is another "Day of the Lord" scripture.
We are in the "Day of the Lord," prophetically speaking, during these ten days between the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur. God will fulfill the prophecies in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 32, it states that He will cast these Islamic nations into the pit of hell, not the Israeli government.
In Israel, I no longer say "Messianic believer" due to confusion; I say "Jewish believer." Jewish believers will be persecuted by the government and synagogues, as Yeshua foretold in Luke 21. Christian Zionists need to decide whether to support the government persecuting Jewish believers or the Jewish believers themselves. I will support the Jewish believers, such as Jews for Jesus and One for Israel, who are doing their part. The government will persecute them, and it's already happening.
We must align ourselves with Yeshua's words in Matthew 25, where "my brethren" refers to Jewish believers who will be persecuted. We must visit them, clothe them, and feed them. If it's a choice between the government and the believers, it's common sense to support the Jewish believers. People get offended by these truths because of their indoctrination, particularly Christian Zionism. They get offended, but I tell them to stay offended because they are out of alignment with those who truly love Yeshua. I pray for the Israelis to come together.
I have Jewish friends and family, and I love the Jewish people and Israelis. However, the truth is the truth. If we are to stand with Ezekiel in blowing the trumpet and consecrating a fast, as Joel says, the Day of the Lord is near. A Nebuchadnezzar figure is emerging in the Middle East. Messiah warned us not to be deceived, and deception is rampant and will only worsen.
Please, do not be deceived by isms, schisms, or any government on earth. In my opinion, all governments are evil because they kill innocent people. There is not one righteous government. Yeshua will come to deal with all of them, including the American and Israeli governments, as well as Islamists and others. There will be no partiality; it will be based on who loves Him and keeps His commandments. It will be ugly.
I stand with the great commission. We will continue with Middle East updates, maps, and current events. This is not good for America or Israel. If you are into idolatry concerning these countries, you may not want to listen. But if you want the truth, you can fact-check and see God's plan for the Middle East, leading to the beast kingdom. This will not happen tomorrow. Iran is currently the regional power, as Daniel stated. Then comes Turkey, followed by the beast kingdom with a Nebuchadnezzar-like military commander, and then the restoration of the kingdom of Israel and the promised land for those who love Yeshua and keep His commandments.
The book of Daniel is crucial for understanding the end times. Since 2003, with the fall of Babylon (Iraq), we've seen prophetic events unfold. Daniel states Iran is next, and it's now a superpower in the Middle East. Then comes Turkey. Geopolitical analysts and military commanders agree that Turkey is next and will dominate the Middle East in the 2030s. Yeshua said Satan's throne is in Turkey (Revelation 2:12-13). Ezekiel 38 mentions ancient names all located in Turkey. Yavon, often misinterpreted as Greece, is on the coast of Turkey. Pergamus, Turkey, was one of the churches Yeshua addressed.
We will explore these events further, including the collision of Sunnis and Shiites. The Sunnis (Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Arabia, Syria, Iraq) will eventually come against Iran and its allies (Houthis, Hezbollah). Turkey will be the dominant force. Erdogan has outmaneuvered everyone, and Turkey will likely dominate the Middle East after President Trump leaves office.
We will continue with Middle East updates, then delve into Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Zechariah. The focus will be on identifying "in that day" passages, signifying the "Day of the Lord." These prophecies describe events that have not yet happened and will occur when Yeshua returns. His feet will be on this earth, pouring out His judgment on the Middle East. We are in the "Day of the Lord" period between the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur.
Christianity often deceives people because they don't understand the second coming event trajectory of Yeshua. We need to understand the calendar, feast days, and seasons, as Paul warned, or we will be caught as a thief in the night due to wrong theology and eschatology. The ten days of awe, from the Feast of Trumpets to Yom Kippur, are crucial for understanding what our Savior will do when He pours out His wrath.
These prophets reveal that in "that day," God will destroy Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Arabia, Libya, Sudan, Egypt, and ultimately the whole world. The major battle will be between Him and the beast kingdom, a Nebuchadnezzar figure, the Antichrist. These nations are identified in the table of nations in Genesis 10, which represents the biblical world understood by the prophets.
Genesis 10 is the foundation for understanding the beast kingdom. The 70 nations listed are in the Middle East and North Africa. This aligns with prophecies in Daniel and Ezekiel. If we don't understand the table of nations, we cannot understand Ezekiel 38:39. For example, Russia is not in the table of nations and did not exist as a country until 1992. Therefore, interpretations involving Russia in Ezekiel 38 are incorrect. Russia is not in the Bible.
Turkey, however, is consistently mentioned. Yeshua speaks of Satan's throne being in Turkey. The ancient names in Ezekiel 38 are all located in Turkey. Russia, on the other hand, is not biblically present. We need to be educated on how to read the prophets and the Bible. We must know the calendar, seasons, and covenants: Abrahamic, Davidic, and the New Covenant. The Mosaic covenant deals with Israel's obedience or disobedience in the land. The Abrahamic, Davidic, and New Covenants are unilateral, unconditional, and everlasting.
The Mosaic covenant is how God deals with people in the land. Many forget this. We will continue with Middle East updates, then the prophets, and then Moses' words in Leviticus 26. These teachings are important during the ten days of awe. I pray for Israel and America to have their eyes opened and turn to Yeshua truthfully, with the Bible and Hebrew scriptures, to receive a righteous verdict. Otherwise, it will be bad.
