the god of abraham isaac and jacob the one true god the only true god we exalt you in the name you have put above every name the name of jesus and we thank you lord that you came in the form of a man that you died on that cross and shed your blood to give us a way to be forgiven lord we are grateful that you rose from the dead to show that that forgiveness and that relationship with you and that repentance would give us eternal life that you have a plan for us lord beyond this world and lord i'm so glad because this world is a mess and we need we need another another world we need another place lord because this place is headed in a bad direction so we come to you today and we just pray god that you will open our eyes to your word and we pray that you will change our lives and prepare us lord to be a light and a witness in jesus name amen and amen hallelujah got their bibles this morning i hope if you don't go get one we have some on the shelf i want you to see what i'm going to show you this morning hallelujah somebody say hallelujah thank you jesus you know i've battled a little bit this morning with what to share with you because you know of course i've been accused of preaching on end time prophecy too much but the bottom line is it seems that that this seems to be the subject that's getting uh lost people's attention and people that have fallen away from god it's starting to get people's attention because uh so many things are happening in the news and so it i wouldn't be right if i didn't deal with what's in the news and what the lord's been showing me so this morning we're going to look at what's going on what well we're going to talk about what's going on in the world right now with the with gaza and uh israel and the war that is now going on in gaza uh how the egyptians uh may be getting involved in this and and we need to answer the question is where is all this in the bible is all this in the bible well somebody uh i won't name a name but somebody asked that question this week and when they got told yes they rededicated their lives to the lord so let's just put it this way every truth in the bible is good and whether it's there to help you at the moment maybe it's maybe you don't need that particular truth but somebody out there
does right um i really believe with what's going on in gaza with the palestinians and the israelis and hamas and uh and how that the entire arab world seems to make the palestinian issue uh their little pet peeve that they want to start a world war over anyway i just think that that's a pertinent issue because the bible had a lot to say about this about the these would be the issues in the last days and he names many nations by name that would be problems in the last days that and that they would be at each other that they would be at israel and so you know when when you're out and about in the world when you're at work or you're at school and you you see these news reports you need to know i mean here's here's what's wild is we've got three thousand year old prophecies twenty seven hundred year old prophecies uh talks about gaza being a problem in the last days right i mean who would have thought that i mean gaza goes back thousands of years who would have thought that you know here we are in 2012 and just like the bible said the problem that's about to start world war three has to do with the philistines which is arabic in arabic is a palestinian rather in arabic is philistine that's how they pronounce it philistine sound familiar guess where the philistines lived in the old days in gaza all right now this is not different now are they truly you know uh generational philistines maybe maybe not i don't know i don't think that's the issue but i think the bible talks about people living in those regions and who would be living in those regions in the last days it's that's significant so anyway let's look at some of the scriptures on this because i want you to see we're going to look at what what what does the bible say about gaza about egypt about libya even about some of these nations of what what their place they're going to play and then i'm going to share with you some things about the united states but anyway go to the book of joel we're going to start in the book of joel chapter 3. now the book of joel is clearly talking about the last days matter of fact just back up to chapter two i think we looked at this verse last week in acts chapter two because this is where peter quoted from here but we'll just read acts two fir i mean joel 2 first and then we'll go to joel 3. but joel 2 verse 28 he says and it shall come to pass afterward that i will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and of course when peter wrote this he said in the last days he said i will pour out my spirit on all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions and also upon the servants and upon the
handmaids in those days i will pour out of my spirit and i will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth blood and fire and pillars of smoke and i we talked about that last week with the nuclear my dream about the nuclear attack and obama doing nothing about it when it comes in verse 31 it says the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and terrible day of the lord come so this is talking about the the last days we'll just read that last verse 32 and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call in the name of the lord shall be delivered for in mount zion and in jerusalem shall be deliverance as the lord has said in the remnant or the small group that's left whom the lord shall call now just wanted you to see the context he's talking about the last days in the great day of the lord and we all know in the context of the end times that there's going to be there's going to be this struggle between israel and between their arab neighbors now here's the thing one of the greatest fulfillments of end time prophecy that's ever come to pass right was israel being restored as a nation in 1948 now that is very significant it's in the book of ezekiel it's in the book of isaiah chapter 11. god said he would restore israel back to their land a second time and literally uses the word ensign meaning they would be a nation again they would have a flag they would be a nation and he would establish them the book of amos chapter 9 says that he would bring israel back to the land again and they will be no more plucked up out of it again so we know that when in 19 really jews have always there's always been a jewish presence in jerusalem always but they were that their majorities were dispersed after 70 a.d when titus and his legions came in and primarily islamic legions came in and destroyed the temple and the jews were dispersed all over the world for 1878 years right but god said i will bring him back to the land and of course in 1948 he did now the end times issues talk about of course 1948 was serious i need to back back up here but what was even more serious was 1967 because the jews had to possess jerusalem again for the end time prophecies to come to pass so of course in 1967 the arabs wanted to go to war again like they did in 1948 and they went to war again and israel ended up taking more land from them this time every time they go to war they seem to lose and israel takes more land from them they could have in 1973 but but through pressure from the united states and
russia israel backed away from damascus syria backed away from cairo egypt they could have taken over both countries had they been left alone all right um but anyway bottom line is those those are two just whoppers right a fulfilled prophecy um israel becoming a nation again 1948 from ezekiel 36 amos 9 isaiah 11. you need to know these things matter of fact if you don't know where these things are you should right uh israel taking jerusalem back was interesting if you want a reference to that luke 21 he said jesus said that when you see jerusalem surrounded by armies he said know that the desolation thereof is nine that everything that is written by the prophets will be fulfilled now think about that so it had to happen israel had to come back to their land they had to possess jerusalem again because if not why would why would their enemies want to take jerusalem from them if they didn't have it right it's kind of those things just logical thinking right so we've seen the greatest two two of the greatest fulfillments of bible prophecy israel becoming a nation them retaking jerusalem and we're about to see a few more right now i want to show you that right here in the book of joel and this was written about the time i think near the time of isaiah but probably about 750 or so bc give or take joel writes down this prophecy of the last days that's where he talks about god's going to pour out his spirit on all flesh your sons and daughters will prophesy there's going to be blood and fire and pillars of smoke which i believe is prophetic of nuclear war he saw and he said of course the the the sun will finally go dark and the moon not give off its light right before the great and terrible day of the lord comes that's a direct reference to the sixth seal which happens right before the end and right before jesus comes through and comes back physically to the earth but look what he says are some of the issues joel 3 let's start reading there talking about those last days he said behold in those days and in that time i shall bring again the captivity of judah and jerusalem now that literally means to gather them back break you know we king james sometimes is difficult but he says bring back the captivity means bring them basically bring them out of their captivity back um and he said i will also gather all nations and will bring them down into the valley of jehoshaphat now that's another name for the valley of jezreel or the valley of megiddo which is where we get the term armageddon from okay the valley of megiddo is the valley where the battle of armageddon will be fought where jesus will return to fight that battle at his second coming
so this is a direct reference to the valley of armageddon here all right and this is where he's talking about i will gather all nations and this is at the end of the last seven years he said i will gather all nations and he said and i will bring them down into the valley of megiddo or jehoshaphat and i will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage israel whom they have scattered among the nations now look at this next part and parted my land listen there's always been a prophecy that israel would come back to the land but then the land would be divided again and that's what the pressure has been on for these many years the palestinians want their own state now let me just say something because there's a lot of misinformation in the media about this what a lot of people don't know is their history all right everybody what what the arab world and the palestinians and our own media and what people want us to do to believe is to turn against israel because they are these cruel people that are occupying these poor people's land okay but we have to remember something that israel has possessed jerusalem it has possessed the promised land going back to the time of abraham okay god promised it to abraham abraham even bought a piece of land there so then we go we fast forward you know about a thousand years to david and david in 1000 bc buys the very hill that of the temple mount and david takes jerusalem to be his capital so 3 000 years ago king david makes jerusalem the capital of israel i don't know why there's any debate or discussion over this this is really the bible is really the oldest title deed in the history of mankind all right we know who the land belongs to now after the jews were scattered after 70 a.d as judgment for their rejection of the messiah when they were scattered to the nations that was part of god fulfilling his word he told them if you turn away from me if you don't listen to me and he said in a prophecy in deuteronomy 18 he said that he would send a prophet like unto him and if the people didn't listen to him they would be cut off scattered to the nations well guess what jesus was that prophet the son of god god himself in the flesh came and they didn't listen to him as a whole and their nation was destroyed and they were scattered to the land now there still remains some jews within the promised land within jerusalem for for then on out all right but in 1517 the promised land area and in the middle east fell on to the ottoman turks okay in 1517
fell to the ottoman turks and and the entire middle east then fell to the sword of islam and to the arabs all right now here's what's interesting how many of you know that muhammad and i've talked about this before but you know the bible the new testament i'm talking about the new testament was complete right in in at least by 1896 when the apostle john is an old man wrote the book of revelation that was it it was finished right 1896. muhammad didn't come around until 6 say 10 a.d wrote i think he wrote the quran somewhere in that time period 6 35 anyway you're looking at 500 approximately 15 years or so later comes this false religion this guy claiming to be a prophet right but it took islam a while but it finally took hold of the arab world all right i talked about this to somebody this week because what was interesting i said there's always been they asked why this problem was in the middle east why this problem between the jews and the arabs i said this goes all the way back to ishmael and isaac i said there's been this deep-rooted jealousy and this deep-rooted hatred for god's chosen people the jews it's always been there but i said then the devil came along and created a false religion and i said it's like this i said that long hatred that's been in there that long-term old hatred of jealousy and envy and strife and all that's been in there from the time of of ishmael and isaac and even you saw it manifest in jacob and esau and you see this hatred and division between the one that's chosen and the one that's not chosen and you see this this enmity but then the devil comes along and creates a demonic false religion and i said so that the hatred they had for for each other the jealousy deep down in there was was the little spark i said islam is the match islam has just poured gasoline rather i mean i meant islam is the gasoline on this little spark and so this is why there will never be peace in the middle east and even if they do sign a peace treaty the bible tells us it'll be broken shortly thereafter right it just can't happen because of this this deep-rooted stuff but the bible tells us right here that they part the land of israel in in joel chapter 3 verse 2 and he tells you the problem areas let's go and they said they've cast lots for my people they've given a boy for a harlot and sold a girl for wine that they might drink boy does this stuff go on the human trafficking and he says and yay what have we to do or what have you to do with me oh and this is the lord speaking what have you to do with me oh tyree and
zion that's lebanon and all the coasts of philistia the coast of philistia is gaza what have i you to do with me you southern lebanon tyree and zion and the coast of philistia gaza he says will you render me a recompense if you recompense me swiftly and speedily i will return erica pence on your own head so he's basically saying what are you going to give me the lord is saying i'm going to give you a payback all right but look at who he says here names amount calls them out southern lebanon tyrion zidon and calls out the coast of philistia gaza guess what the terrorist group hamas that is fighting that starting this war has been sending rockets into israel for months on just just indiscriminately wherever they land they land they don't care if they land on you know a day care center because they're not aiming them they're just shooting them and they've been doing this for months hamas and israel has told them over and over again stop stop stop firing the rockets but unless you understand islam and the in muslim jihad you don't understand they're not going to stop because their goal is to destroy israel to destroy the jews to take over jerusalem to make it the capital of the islamic caliphate that is their goal and and to see america go down that is the goal of islam and they will not stop they will die and give their lives to bring about those two things you understand they're not going to quit all right so hamas is in gaza and hezbollah is in southern lebanon and they're all getting their money and their weapons and their orders from persia or iran all right everybody knows this but the media will just lie and lie and lie and obama will lie and our secretary of state will lie and our defense department will lie lie lie lie it's all they do is lie because there is this hatred growing satanic hatred in the world for two groups of people jews and true born-again bible-believing christians the hatred is growing it is the spirit of antichrist and it is taking over the world and it hates israel because israel be even existing is a testimony that the god of abraham isaac and jacob the creator and his word this bible is true just the fact that they exist and after the the whole arab world uniting in war against them in 1948 and and should have destroyed them there's no way they should have continued to
exist and yet god helped them and they survived that war and won that war and had more land at the end of the day and then in 1967 they did it again in 1973 the arabs did it again and guess what this week one of the headlines is and this just blows me away the the iranians give weapons to hamas in gaza give weapons give money they give weapons and money to hezbollah southern lebanon they give orders to them to fire rockets and then when israel finally decides to fight back oh please tell them to stop tell them to stop you in tell them to stop you asked tell them to stop oh this act and they call it oh this act of aggression by the israeli occupiers and oppressors you're going to hear that word more and more if you here's what blew my mind i was watching cnn the other day and they showed a map of israel and what was interesting they showed the west bank not as not belonging to israel they showed it as belonging to jordan guess what israel took the west bank from jordan in 1967 but these people don't even want to recognize that's cnn well guess what conservatives fox news did the same thing have the same map they don't even recognize it our own country our presidents have given lip service bush gave lip service obama gives lip service but you know what if we believed if our presidents and our government recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel our our embassy would be there and not in tel aviv and any president could have given the order to move our embassy to jerusalem to recognize the capital officially recognize the capital of israel listen folks there's a lot of talk going on out there but israel is going to have to defend itself now i'm sharing all this because i want you to see something here and let me just back up let's understand our history about this a little bit okay in back in 1948 when the british mandate when the british decided we're leaving and we're turning this over to whoever wants it right basically they told the jews and they told the arabs you're free to do what you want we're out of here because they had controlled it since 1917 since world war one the british had controlled the middle east and so the british pull out and allow the arabs to create jordan um they allow israel if they're going to do it and that's what the first that once that british mandate was relieved the jews that were in israel decided to declare their independence and create a jewish state how many of you want to know this is what blows me away the united nations back then the newly formed united nations issued a resolution
to create both a jewish state and a palestinian state back then they were going to have a two-state solution guess what jordan was supposed to be and the west bank was supposed to be the palestinian state but do you know what happened the offer from the u.n and david ben-gurion who was the founder you know the first leader to declare the independence of israel he was the leader back then david ben-gurion he wanted the arabs he said we want you to stay we want to peacefully coexist together and the offer was made for them to have the gaza strip and to have the west bank because the jews were just happy they didn't have any land at all to have a place to call home right because after world war ii you know six million of them have been murdered by hitler i mean they had almost wiped them out it was half their population was wiped out and so they come back so guess what do you know why there wasn't a palestinian state created in 1948 because the arabs rejected the idea they said no we don't want any jews here we don't want to separate any of this land out for them we don't want them to have any of their homeland and they declared war and went to war so they're the ones the palestinians which are really egyptians in gaza and jordanians in the west bank there's no such thing as a palestinian they made that up all right they could have went back to their respective nations but they decided to stay in the land of israel because that was going to be their foothold to root the jews out and that's why they said no right but most people don't even bother to look this up in an encyclopedia it's easily found this history of what happened right in in in the whole thing the jews have been trying to peacefully coexist and and here's the thing even though god doesn't want them to divide the land many of israel's leaders have been willing to create a palestinian state within israel i wouldn't do it but they've been willing to try to bring peace but there's you have to understand islam is not a religion of peace no matter how many times bush or obama or anybody else that tries to say they're a religion of peace that is a lie from hell they've never been a religion of peace and they never will be the only peace that you can have with islam is if you submit to islam and even then look at what they're doing in syria right now over 40 000 people dead and that's muslim against muslim you know why because the radical some people aren't enough muslim for the muslims
all right it's it's it's a messed up situation that's why there's never going to be peace until jesus comes back true peace now the antichrist will get a peace treaty but like we said it won't it won't last long right and the only reason can i say this the only time you can get a peace treaty with a with muslims with arabs is when you beat them down in a war and they're willing to sign a peace treaty to get you to stop so that they can have time to rebuild and re-arm so they can attack you again that's why they do peace treaties it's actually a doctrine within islam to make peace until you're strong enough to destroy your enemy that's their philosophy okay and here's what's interesting benjamin netanyahu most of the jews know this well we in the west try to cover our eyes and ears and la la la la la la my hair i wanna hear them i hear it muslims are peaceful people no they're not and they're only the ones that are here that are peaceful they're only peaceful because they're outnumbered here they ever get the upper hand we will find out these peaceful muslims will want to take us over okay because that's all they understand is world domination that's the goal all right um let's keep reading i i'm sorry i i'm just going off on this is that all right y'all learning something today is alright fricks wave at me all right let's keep going verse 5. he says because you have taken my silver and my gold and carried into your temples my goodly and pleasant things the children also of judah and the children of jerusalem have you sold and to the grecians that you might move them far from their border i mean he just goes on and on talking about these things i want you to go on down look at verse 9 he says proclaim this among the gentiles so this act of parting the land these problems in gaza and in lebanon he says proclaim this among the gentiles prepare war wake up the mighty men let all the men of war draw near let them come up beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears let the weak say i am strong assemble yourselves and come all you heathen gather yourselves together round about he says cause thy mighty ones to come down oh lord let the heathen be awakened and come up to the valley of jehoshaphat for there will i sit to judge all the heathen round about so god is saying listen listen if you want to know what joel 3 is saying it's really clear god is saying when they part my land that is going to bring on the battle of armageddon i am going to gather the nations of the world to the valley and
i'm going to judge them and destroy them there so this issue ought to let us know the more you hear it in the news you're going to hear it in the news more and more and more we've got to bring peace to the middle east problem the palestinian jewish problem we've got to bring peace and we've got to do it by dividing out and creating a palestinian state and they're going to succeed at doing it and god says when they do that that is a sign that is a sign that we are just we are very near armageddon we are very near the second coming of jesus let's keep reading here he says verse 13 put you in the sickle for the harvest is right come get you down for the press is full and the vats overflow for their wickedness is great now look at this multitudes multitudes in the valley of decision for the day of the lord is near in the valley of decision the sun and moon shall be darkened and the stars shall withdraw their shining again another reference to the last days to right before the sixth seal right before jesus comes and look what verse 16 says the lord shall also roar out of zion and utter his voice from jerusalem and the heavens and the earth shall shake but the lord will be the hope of his people and the strength of the children of israel so shall ye know that i am the lord your god dwelling in zion my holy mountain then shall jerusalem be holy and there shall be no more strangers passed through her anymore so this right here is he's talking about the second coming of the lord the lord will roar out of zion the earth will shake if you go to the book of revelation it says when jesus comes back when the lord sets his feet down on the mount of olives it says there's such a great earthquake that the city is split when jesus come back so this is what it's talking about the lion of the tribe of judah will roar when he comes back right but look what he says let's keep reading he talks about verse 18 and it shall come to pass in that day that the mountain shall drop down new wine and the hill shall flow with milk and all the rivers of judah will flow with waters so this is talking about the millennial reign after the lord comes back but look at verse 19 he says egypt shall be a desolation and edom shall be a desolate wilderness for the violence against the children of israel because they have shed innocent blood in their land but judah shall dwell forever in jerusalem from generation to generation for i will cleanse their blood that i have not cleansed for the lord dwelleth in zion he speaks out here of two nations that will be severely judged and be a desolation at that time egypt and edom edom is jordan whenever you see the terms edom moab or ammon actually that whole area that was edom in the north ammon in the middle and moab to the south all of that region
that was edom moab and ammon is the country of jordan so he says here egypt and jordan will be a desolation why because they will involve themselves in this war that's coming and there is a war coming and i don't know if i said this earlier but i believe this with all my heart that we may be watching right now we may be watching with this war in gaza the very beginning stages of world war three or what the bible calls the war of gog and magog in ezekiel 38 and 39 and the revelation 9 6 trumpet war we are about to see the beginning of it now if this calms down and is not it it may erupt from syria the issue is going on in syria it could erupt with the war that's coming with iran but israel just called up this week 75 000 reservist troops you don't call up 75 000 troops for a ground war in gaza that's not what those troops are for they know the the jews know that this thing could escalate quickly with the problems in syria and with them about to have to attack iran to destroy their nuclear facilities to stop iran from getting a bomb all of these things are in the bible now let me show you something just just this week an article was written or and it came across the the iranian news agency the the iranians said we want to get the arab world together to come against israel to stop because of what's going on with the palestinians right now this is their uniting call right now iran is trying to unite the entire arab world to join with them and attack israel over the palestinian issue now that's really not the issue now think about this do you know that this is in your bible this call to unite the arab world is in your bible did you know that turn to psalm 83 matter of fact it's in two places i'm going to show you both places but go to psalm 83. the psalms were a thousand years before jesus came to earth and became a man so we're looking at a 3 000 approximately give or take a little bit a 3 000 year old prophecy here all right and he tells you who the problem is going to be with and he tells you what they're saying in their heart let's look at us are you with me in uh psalm 83 he starts this off with a prayer keep not thou silence o god hold not thy peace
be not still o god for lo thine enemies make a tumult sound like the arab spring to me right the muslim brotherhood making a tumult trying to overthrow these nations and get more radicals in charge of these nations like egypt tunisia libya on down the line so your enemies make a tumult and they that hate thee have lifted up the head that's why they call it the arab spring they're talking about how it is is now become um the the time of islam the rise of islam all right and they have lifted up the head they have taken listen this they have taken crafty counsel against your people lord they've taken crafty council and consulted against thy hidden ones they have said come let us cut them off from being a nation let me quote ahmadinejad ever since 2005 even in the united nations ahmadinejad president of mahmoud ahmadinejad president of iran has said we want to wipe israel off the map here's what's so wild that is becoming chance in europe and in america as well from non-muslims even because the media has told so many lies about israel that now there's just many many haters of israel but they it says here's they have said come let us cut them off from being a nation that the name of israel may be no more in remembrance for they have consulted together with one consent they are a confederate against thee and look he tells you who they are the tabernacles of edom jordan and the ishmaelites you got any questions the descendants of the ishmaelites are the arab people ishmael had 12 sons the 12 princes of now which are the arab peoples so he says and the ishmaelites that's kind of like saying that american over there that say that group in america and the americans all right [Music] and then he says moab which again is now part of the country of jordan and the hagarines which that's hagar again just the descendants of ishmael gabal and ammon amalek and the philistines or the palestinian area which is gaza strip and the inhabitants of tairi which is southern lebanon and ashore which is another name for assyria which is now syria is also is joined with them and they have helped the children of lot and the children of lot were moab and ammon jordan
and then he talks about do unto them unto them as the midianites and and then he makes his prayer oh god he says look at verse 13 he says um oh my god make them like a wheel as the stubble before the wind as the fire burns and wood so persecute them with your tempest and make them afraid so this is a prayer for the jews at this time that you know and that we should be praying that they will be victorious now let's go to ezekiel ezekiel 38. now this is the famous prophecy everybody talks about the the coming war that's coming see there's a lot of prophecy teachers that believe that the ezekiel 38 39 war is armageddon i don't believe that and i'm going to show you i know i've talked about this in our church before a little bit y'all should know this stuff but these current events are getting um they're getting stronger and stronger and more of them are happening and there's going to be people asking you questions so listen guess what until you can preach this message just like i preach it you need to hear it all right you need to know it but ezekiel 38. now let's look at this he gives us a list of nations and he says in the last days who will rise up against israel and this is going to be a horrible horrible thing a horrible war for them when this happens it's bad for israel leading up to armageddon but it's bad for them in this war that comes before armageddon all right ezekiel 38 verse 1 and the word of the lord came unto me saying son of man set thy face against gog in the land of magog now that's uh magog is turkey i'm going to go through some of these pretty quick and the chief prince of meshech and tubal prophesy against him now there's a lot of debate in the in who is meshech and tubal but i can just tell you that in my studies what i've discovered and going back to josephus and some other references that he's making a reference here to the ancient skillions and the ancient scythians migrated north of turkey guess what's north of turkey folks russia okay southern russia so this is a direct reference to the russians even the russians have a museum that's like our smithsonian and show that their ancient heritage is scythian or skyview and i'm not sure how you pronounce it one of the two let's gideon or skydian so he says gog in the land of magog my face against gog the land of magog and the chief prince of meshech and tubal so russia turkey and say thus saith the lord behold i am against the og the chief prince of meshech and tubal i believe that he the reason god says this because you know who i believe gog is i'm just going to say it vladimir putin is gog
i believe that with all my heart it's vladimir putin it's the russians who have fueled this entire thing they have sold serial weapons they have sold iran weapons they have armed them with more sophisticated weapons and it's in its russia's hand in this relationship with iran if it was not for russia iran would not have the nuclear technology that they have right now so it is really russia who's instigated this whole thing that they're giving technology and weapons and things to iran is about to start world war three and we're going to see hundreds of millions maybe two billion people killed in world war three because of the russians and this is why god says i am against you oh god i believe it's russia no doubt in my mind all right and he says this i'm against you verse 4 and i will turn you back and i will put hooks into your jaws and i will bring you forth and all your army and horses and horsemen and all of them clothed in all sorts of armor even a great company with bucklers and shields all of them handling swords now so he says i'm going to bring you gog magog i'm going to bring you with all your army i'm going to do it i'm going to bring you down here i'm going to put a hook in your jaw even if you don't want to come you're coming right that's why you can mark this down it will happen because god said i'm gonna make sure it happens right but then he tells us who will be involved in this confederate this group that have consulted together he tells us he said they're going to be persia which is iran ethiopia which includes the sudan and libya which included basically all of that northern african area of tunisia gomer and all his bands in the house of togarmah in the north that is turkey here's what's interesting a lot of people didn't believe turkey was going to get involved in this but i just posted an article this past weekend where the prime minister of turkey who's a member of nato and supposedly a cold ally with israel and an ally with the u.s has stated that he stands firm now with with the palestinians and listen he is totally islamic he is totally radical his name is erogen or whatever the prime minister of turkey he is magog he is the house of togarmah gomer that whole region up there turkey they have a pretty powerful army too so he says i'm going to get turkeys going to get involved now here's what's interesting we got turkey we got iran we got syria right we mentioned syria a minute ago acer remember you got syria well you know the book of revelation and we'll look at that a second the book of
revelation says that world war three starts out of the euphrates river area the euphrates starts in turkey it starts in turkey it goes through syria it goes through iraq and then it goes it touches iran at the bottom so he told us exactly who would start world war iii and he said that war that comes out of the euphrates river area that war will kill one third of mankind that means a nuclear war he tells us how long that war will last he said it'll last a year an hour a month and a day so just over a year this war will take place and one third of mankind will get hit god goes on and says let's keep reading this he says persia ethiopia libya this verse five all of them was shielded helmet gomer and all his bands in the house of togarmah turkey of the north quarters look at this and all his bands and look at his sister and many people with him so we don't know how many other nations will join in with this because lebanon is not mentioned here and egypt's not mentioned here but guess what we find out egypt's involved lebanon's involved they're all involved they're going to come from every direction this is one reason i know that this war is going to turn nuclear because israel is outnumbered there's only about 20 million people in israel there's like 90 million people in egypt just south of them there's 70 something million or more in in iran do you see they cannot fight a conventional war there'll be no way if all of these people gather together against them and move as one with the help of the russians and the and and turkey you are seeing a a little tiny nation about as big as rhode island or smaller be overrun and israel has stated they will what they call induce the samson option if that happens meaning if we need to take everybody down with us if it takes us down we will launch our jericho twos and jericho 3 missiles that are armed with nuclear multiple nuclear warheads we will launch them this is not a joke folks we are going to see mushroom clouds in the middle east here very soon and i believe we're going to see them in america we're going to see them in china india you don't get one third of mankind killed without china being involved without india being involved the two most populated countries in the world you can't get unless they're involved and guess what in the news
the chinese have stated the russians have stated if israel attacks iran's nuclear facilities they're getting involved i see this thing really coming to a head here now let's let's read on what he says verse seven he says be thou prepared and prepare myself thou and all thy company that are assembled unto thee and be thou garden and look at verse 8 and he lets ezekiel know that this was for the last days the latter times he says after many days thou shalt be visited in the latter years thou shalt come into the land he's speaking to this confederate this group of people he says in the you will be visited means you will be judged and he says in the latter years you will be brought into the land that is brought back from the sword and gathered out of many people against the mountains of israel so after many years i'm going to bring you against israel he said but it was brought forth and it had always been waste he said it is brought forth out of the nations and they shall dwell safely now look at verse 9 it even talks about this is written long before there were airplanes and it says thou shall ascend and come like a storm and thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land thou and all thy bands and my people with thee thus saith the lord it shall come to pass that at that time all things shall come into thy mind and thou shalt think in evil thought now this goes back to psalm 83 here's their evil thought that they're thinking look at this and you shall say verse 11 you shall say i will go up to the land of unwalled villages now this was written when they built walls around cities he says here you're going to go up to the land of unwalled villages israel he goes i will go to them that are at rest that dwell safely and dwelling out out without walls and having neither bars nor gates to take spoil and to take prey and to turn my hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations which have gotten cattle and goods and dwell in the midst of the land so he says here you're going to come against israel and what's amazing is the prophecy that you're going to come to get what does it say to take spoil guess what there's recently been a great oil discovery in israel israel is one of the largest food producers in the world they are blessed guess what two things the world's gonna need most in the days ahead food and oil so it's not just this hatred they're gonna see it also is what you know that we can get something out of this deal we get rid of them right god's word is always true amen down to the very sentence the very letter now we're not going to keep reading all
of this but look at let's let's drop down to verse 14. he says therefore son of man prophesied saying to gog thus saith the lord god in the day when my people of israel dwell safely shalt thou not know it and thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts here's what's interesting look at israel and look due north go straight up the map moscow it says you will come out of the north parts turkey is due north syria is north lebanon is north and rush is north you will come out of the north parts thou and many people with you all of them riding upon horses and a great company and a mighty army and thou shalt come up against my people israel as a cloud to cover the land and it shall be in the latter days and i will bring thee against my land that the heathen may know me when i shall be sanctified in thee oh god before their eyes and that's when god says um oh let's just keep reading thus saith the lord god art thou he of whom i have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of israel which prophesied in those days many years that i would bring thee against them and it shall come to pass at that time when god shall come against the land of israel saith the lord god that my fury shall come up in my face when this happens it says god is going to become angry you know why because their goal is to wipe israel off the map to remove them god said in his word in in in amos 9 that will never happen again right so it ain't going to happen i don't care how many armies you bring ain't going to happen sorry miami folks got to say ain't not going to happen right here we go keep reading he's verse 19. he says for in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have i spoken surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of israel so that the fishes of the sea and the fowls of heaven and the beasts of the field and all the creeping things that creep upon the earth and all men that are upon the face of the earth shall shake at my presence do you hear this he said when this war happens all men on the face of the earth are going to shake tremble at what is happening it's already beginning but you mark my words when the first nuclear bomb drops a great shaking is going to take place in the world he said there'll be a great shaking in the land of israel look at verse again back to verse 20 and they that are upon the face of the earth all that are upon the face all men upon the face shall shake at my presence and the mountain shall be thrown down and the steep places shall fall and every wall shall fall to the ground and i will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains saith the lord god every man's sword shall be against his brother
and i will plead against him with pestilence and with blood and i will reign upon him and upon his bands and upon the many people that are with him overflowing rain great hailstones fire and brimstone thus will i magnify myself and sanctify myself i will be known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that i am the lord god jehovah so god says i'm going to help them listen i believe israel is going to launch weapons but i believe god's even going to help them think about it god said i'm going to make sure that gog and all his bands his arab allies i'm going to make sure that they lose all right now how do we know that this war happens before armageddon well number one is if we go to revelation and we will in a second revelation 6 there's this war out of the europhrase river area and rev i mean revelation 9 is the sixth trumpet war and it says it kills one third of mankind it says that's the sixth trumpet armageddon happens at the seventh trumpet so it can't be the same war it's two different events okay we know that tell you the truth they're actually about eight years apart all right we know that right now we know that this is not armageddon for this main reason and if your bible doesn't have this verse in it then you better get one that does because some bibles have been altered and they don't have this verse in here of this line but i'm going to read it when we go to ezekiel 39 verse 1 he says therefore for this reason son of man prophesy against gog and say thus saith the lord god behold i am against you oh god the chief prince of meshech and tubal now look at this i will turn you back and leave but the sixth part of thee and will cause thee to come up from the north parts and bring thee upon the mountains of israel and i will smite thy bow out of thy left hand and cause thine arrows to fall unto thy right hand thou shalt fall upon the mountains of israel thou and all thy bands and the people that are with you and i will give you to the ravenous birds and every sword of the beast to be devoured you will be broken you shall fall in the open field for i have spoken and it saith the lord god and i will send a fire on magog and among them that care dwelleth care that dwell carelessly in the aisles and they shall know that i am the lord now you need to listen to this real closely here when he says in this battle i'm going to leave one-sixth of you alive you have to understand that this cannot be the battle of armageddon because by the battle of armageddon those armies that come against israel at the end of the the tribulation will all if you're serving in the armed forces
you will have been forced to take the mark of the beast and when jesus comes back at armageddon everybody it's against him everybody is with the antichrist it's either pledged allegiance to the one world government or to the antichrist as the world leader or taking the mark of the beast every one of them will be killed when jesus christ returns they will be judged and they will be killed and will be damned into hell forever so at the second coming jesus deals with all of his enemies all that have taken the mark now there'll be some that haven't taken the mark that make it through and they will survive there will be normal living people that go through the millennial reign all right the rapture will take place right before i believe the battle of armageddon and you will have glorified saints that are with jesus and you'll have regular human people that will still live through the millennium but everyone who took the mark everyone who worshipped the beast everyone who pledged the legion so by that time if you're in the armed forces fighting with the antichrist against israel you are not going to survive the battle of armageddon so this is how i know that ezekiel 38 is not the battle of armageddon and also revelation tells us and then but anyway let's go to revelation let's look at that you can read all of this later do your homework go to revelation 9. i know i've quoted this oh but hold on did y'all see that verse that he was sent and said he would send fire upon them and those who dwelt carelessly in the isles did you see that that are there any islands in the middle east new new i believe what he's talking about there is far beyond here will i deal with issues at that time um as you're getting ready to turn to revelation 9 i want to say this though if you weren't here last week if you're listening there i shared about a dream i had about a nuclear bomb hitting the united states particularly new york december 7th of 2011 i had a vision of of multiple multiple bombs hitting and basically destroying the east coast and the west coast of the united states not i'm sure that's not only going to be it but i saw that i believe at that time when he says i'm the lord says i'm going to send fire upon gog and magog i'm going to leave but one-sixth of them and on some of those who are dwelling carelessly in the aisles can i say that americans are probably dwelling the most carelessly of any group of people on the face of the earth we are the people who think
nothing's going to happen to us we're going to make it you know we always come back america always wins we always overcome not this time and here's what's interesting since december since i i saw that vision in december since i had this dream last week i've done a little research and i found that there's several other prophets that are dead now they passed away some of them passed away back in the 80s and 90s and one recently in 2005 who god gave visions of the exact same thing of the east coast and the west coast of the united states and i may share those at another time but what i'm saying is i i keep seeing this from multiple people i mean godly men and godly women who god has warned america over and over again you're not going to escape judgment we're not going to escape judgment and it's coming soon i believe so um again i've never brought that out from ezekiel about those who dwell carelessly ah that is interesting so the aisle there for y'all listening in miami nancy said that the word isle there me in the hebrew means coast the coast land or country so there you have it i know that it's coming and here's the thing a lot of people think and this is this is you want to get a definition of living carelessly on a definition of living carelessly the days of noah jesus said it would be like the days of noah people be eating drinking marrying giving to marriage going about their daily life totally oblivious that their total destruction is is near there are so many people right now there's a lot of americans and i'm going to tell you this right now there's a lot of americans and especially in the south who think well when i see some of this stuff i'm going to get right with god guess what some of them are never going to see it they're going to be vaporized in a moment before they can even blink their eyes they're not going to have a chance to repent and if the bible if we take it literal in revelation 9 that we're going to read one third of mankind is killed in this war that's 2.3 billion people who aren't going to see the antichrist they're not going to see the mark of the beast they're not going to see the peace treaty they're not going to see all the signs of the end they're going to be gone and most of them are going to be in hell in a moment in an instant forever there's no time to live carelessly there's no time to be drinking and partying and sleeping around and lukewarm and and and living in sin there's no time it's time to repent it's time to make sure you're
right with god it's time to be humble it's time to make sure you don't have unforgiveness or hatred in your heart it's time to make sure that you confess your sins to to god and ask god to forgive you and to cleanse you and to be humble and to be be on fire for jesus to be right with god and to be a light and try to warn as many people as we possibly can because there's going to be entire cities of people gone in a moment in a moment no second chance no time to pray and it could be me it could be you it could be any of us it could be atlanta it could be fort benning here it could be miami it could be new i know it's going to be new york san diego los angeles san francisco seattle gone god never promised us we have tomorrow right i've quoted it many times let's look at it revelation 9 jesus doesn't want anybody to be lost but many are because they won't listen they're living carelessly they won't listen to the many prophecies they won't won't read their bibles and watch the news that's all you got to do read your bible watch the news and get right with god before it's too late and you know what i believe god put all this in the bible you know he put all these very specific things in there because and on judgment day there's going to be no excuse no excuse revelation 9. let's look at it let's go down to verse verse 12. right after the fifth trumpet he says one woe is past and behold there come two more woes hereafter and the six angels sounded and i heard the voice of the four horns from the golden altar which is before god saying to the six angel which hath the trumpet loose the four angels which are in the bound in the great river euphrates and the four angels were loosed and they were prepared for an hour a day a month and a year to slay the third part of men and the number of the army of the horsemen were thousand thousand or two hundred million and i heard the number of them and thus i saw the horses in the vision and them that sat on them having breastplates of fire of jack neath and brimstone and the heads of the horses were at the heads of lions and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone and i just believe he was describing tanks and planes that have these you know even even some of our helicopters and some of our planes have
faces painted on them and it looks like stuff's coming out of their mouths and i believe this is what he was saying there he says look verse 18 he says by these three was the third part of men killed by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone was issued out of their mouths for their power is in their mouth and in their tails and for their their tails were like in the serpents and they had heads and with them they do hurt now listen to this here's the one of the most striking amazing verses in the bible here's a war coming that's going to kill one third of mankind starting out of the middle east this prophecy this is probably the most ominous prophecy in the bible and he says this war is going to happen out of the middle east the euphrates river it's going to kill one-third of mankind not everybody but here look what it says after this still many people are not going to repent and not going to get right with god they're not going to humble themselves because their pride and their lust look what he says and the rest of the men verse 20 and the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues repented not of their works of their hands that they should not worship devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and of wood which neither can see nor hear nor walk they still won't repent and i'm just gonna say that's that that right there's many roman catholics that won't give up mary they won't give up the saints and their statues and they won't give up you know people who who want christianity and have a buddha in that house i mean he's saying people will not give up their idols they won't give up their their idol of money their idol of sex sexual sin they're still not going to give up they're going to see all this happen he said many of them it says neither will they repent of their murders abortion sorceries nor of their fornication their sexual immorality nor of their thefts wow so see i want you to see this this war that's coming is not the end it's the beginning of the end when this war takes place when this war is finished we will have i believe seven years left and many people are going to believe because the antichrist will then step forward the world government will form through the u n the united states will be crippled and brought to its knees economically and militarily will be brought to our knees we will have no more say and what happens with the u n the u n will become a world government a leader will step forth they will make him the world leader they will break the world up into 10 regions and begin to rule it and he will have the israel sign a peace treaty with the arab peoples this is in daniel 9 they will sign a peace treaty for seven years and the world listen to
me this is the reason why a lot of the world is not going to repent because they're going to believe that this man who becomes the world leader who makes this peace between israel and the arabs who saved us from annihilation from further nuclear war they're going to believe that this man is the savior he saved us and guess what him and his false prophet are going to start doing miracles and signs and wonders even on television and people are going to believe oh christ has come back in spirit form in this man they're going to believe he's a christ some are going to call him christ some of them are calling matreya some will call him krishna some will call him mahdi or imam mahdi but they're going to believe he's a supernatural human being he saved us this is the and listen to me this is why this is going to be such a deception everybody's going to call this first war armageddon and it's not and they're going to say well see the bible was talking about this final war and then jesus would come back and they're going to say well this is jesus has come back in the form of of this messiah figure and his false prophet they've come back in this form because they saved us after armagedd and they don't know that this is going to be a false peace for a few years and these two figures the antichrist which i believe will be a muslim a moderate muslim and i believe the final pope will be the antichrist will be the false prophet with the antichrist and they will work together and do miracles and the muslims and the roman catholics and most of the world are going to follow these men because they're going to believe they saved us from annihilation and they're doing miracles so they must be from god until it comes down to the middle of the last seven years and they start that's when he steps in and declares the this man declares himself i am god i am the supreme authority i am the one you need to worship and he issues the mark of the beast that you must have a mark in your right hand of your forehead to be able to buy or sell and if not you're to be killed all of it is coming every last thing of this now what do we do what are we supposed to do first thing be humble don't be prideful and go oh i'm not listening to that doomsday preacher be humble god resists the proud he gives grace to the humble a humble man says god i'm a sinner i don't deserve your forgiveness i don't deserve anything i've been living in sin i've been living lukewarm i've been living compromised i'm not where i need to be and that man says god forgive me help me change i give you my life jesus i will follow you i will take up the cross i will do whatever you ask me to do i'll
be a light for you that's the first thing be humble turn from sin and make jesus lord get rid of the idols the second thing is fill yourself with the word of god and these truths about what's going to happen especially because so many people are going to ask questions and i believe the good news and all this i do believe many are going to come now now in comparison to the many who aren't going to listen it's going to be few but i still think we're going to see a revival i mean even a revival that might get five percent of the people left is a big revival amen ten percent of you know what six billion people or five billion people six percent of that that's a lot of people ten percent of that that's a lot of people i believe there's going to be a revival through this but the majority are not going to repent the governments of the world the leaders of the world the most of the rich men of the world they're not going to repent they're going to follow the antichrist they're going to follow the false prophet they're going to follow the world government and take the mark of the beast and run right off the cliff into eternal damnation in hell forever and once you take the mark that's it there's no forgiveness for that do you know there's christians right now saying oh well i could take the mark god will forgive me if i do better read the book it says it will not be forgiven so these are serious matters and this is why we've got to warn people this stuff is coming what you see in gaza what you see in lebanon what you see in the middle east it's only a matter it's not a matter of if world war three is coming it's just when do we have days do we have weeks do we have months do we have years i don't know for sure but it's not long we should be living our lives to get as close to jesus as we can and trying to win people to jesus as many people to jesus as we can which is what we should have been doing before anyway right we just need to step it up and get serious i don't want to be one of those dwelling carelessly in the aisles amen let's pray thank you jesus father in heaven we thank you lord for the word and i know lord at times it's terrifying it's shaking but lord god we know that if we turn to you with all of our heart soul mind and strength and we give you our lives 100 and turn away from sin you have promised that you will be with us you will walk with us you'll walk through anything with us and whether we live or whether we die we are yours and we can
be at peace knowing that we have an assured eternal life with you that the meek will inherit the earth that one day god your people will get heaven and the earth and that you will make a new heavens and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness and we will be with you forever i don't understand people who are not willing to give up their idols and their sin and their petty lust and their petty desires here and change and and follow you and know you and and and prepare for eternity i don't understand that lord i pray that you wake us up and help us shake off the world and shake off lust and shake off idolatry and shake our false religion and shake off hatred and unforgiveness shake off these sins let the blood of jesus wash us and cleanse us and and and and then we can walk close to you and hear your voice and be a light and win other people to jesus lord we praise you that we can know things before they're going to happen by knowing your word father we pray this i pray that you bless your people here today if anybody's not where they need to be lord that today they'll get along with you they'll repent they'll say god forgive me i give you my life i get rid of my idols i get rid of my sin i get rid of my lust i get rid of my drinking or my party and i get rid of it all i turn from my sin forgive me today jesus you're going to be lord of my life or i pray that that will happen and i pray that they will fill themselves with the word of god and be a light to those around them who are headed to hell forever although we pray this this morning in jesus name amen and amen hallelujah
