Lord, we worship you, God almighty, King of kings and Lord of lords, we worship you.
We thank you for your death on the cross, Lord. You laid down your life, nobody took it from you. You laid it down, Lord, your sinless life, your sinless blood to be the sacrifice, Lord, the atonement, the payment for our sins. And Lord, anyone can come to you and say, Lord, forgive me, wash me clean, forgive my sins, I give you my life, I repent, and Lord, you will forgive and you will save. And Lord, we pray that people will do that, Lord. Even those watching right now that have not been born again, that have not surrendered their life to you as Lord and Savior, as their God and Creator, that they will bow the knee and say, Jesus, forgive me, I am a sinner. I need your forgiveness. I need your blood to wash my sins away. I want to be saved. I want to walk with you. I want a relationship with you or I want to go to heaven. I don't want to pay the penalty for my sins, which is eternal damnation. I want to take the price you paid for me and apply it. I hope people do that this morning, Lord. I ask you, Holy Spirit, move upon the lost ones. Move upon, Lord, the ones that have fallen away. Lord, open our eyes because the hour is late. We pray this in Jesus name and everybody said, amen. All right. You may be seated. Hallelujah. Now, let's let you guys know up there. We're going to be going back and forth between the PowerPoint and some scriptures, so get ready to be shifting back and forth a little bit. It's kind of crazy. All the crazy stuff that's going on, but, you know, as the news came out, I think it was yesterday about the attack on Israel, you know, somebody asked me, said, what do you think is going on? I said, well, you know, these attacks from Gaza, from Hamas, from Hezbollah, from, you know, really proxies for Iran and, you know, these things have been going on, you know, just for decades and decades. In fact, I was in Israel in 1988 during the first infant of the uprising of the Palestinians and that little skirmish. And I would hear gunshots and people. I think one night we were in the old city of Jerusalem and like 11 people were shot that night. I was in the bus station in Jerusalem about to get on a bus and ran into police yellow police tape and a bomb guy fully dressed in the bomb was carried a bomb right in front of me, like showing it to me. Like it was a pie and walked into the bomb truck. I mean, that's that's Israel, OK? And that's the battle they're in. Now, I know there's people out there. I'm going to say this before we get into this this morning. There's people out there that don't even believe
that the nation of Israel is the real nation of Israel, the nation of Israel right now that exists. I'm just going to tell you what that is. That's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs right there. OK. We got people. In fact, I have a lady, God bless her heart, but I have a lady trying to convince me that America is really Israel geographically and historically and in every way. And I'm just like, oh, Lord, help us. You know, Israel is Israel and the prophecies fulfilled 1948 when Israel became a nation. That was a prophecy fulfilled. Now, people want to tell me all the time. Well, the Rothschilds were involved in that. You know what? I don't care if Nebuchadnezzar was involved in. God said it was going to happen. And it happened. Right. And I don't care who he uses to do it. Remember the donkey? Yeah. All right. God can use whoever he wants. And the nation of Israel was brought back. And in fact, when I went there in 1988, I was on a plane full. I mean, I flew from Atlanta to Paris, France and and got on an Israeli airline plane from Paris. I want to tell you, me and my brother were the only non Jews on that airplane. And when we got off that airplane in Tel Aviv, Israel, I saw them Jews that had never, never been to their homeland who were going home for the first time from Europe kneeling down and kissing the ground. And people say, well, there's no real Jews in Israel. Well, you're an idiot because you obviously don't know history with all the Ashkenazi Jews are not real Jews. First of all, let me tell you, there's Mizrahi Jews, the Sephardic Jews. There's Ethiopian Jews. And you guess what? You don't have to be an ethnic Jew to be a Jew. You can be a convert to to become a Jew. Right. There are real Jews in Israel. And they came from every direction to fulfill the prophecy in Ezekiel, to fulfill the prophecy in Jeremiah, to fulfill those prophecies that God will bring his people home. And in fact, Isaiah 11 says that they would be exiled twice and brought back to their land twice. Well, guess what? The first time was under Nebuchadnezzar's invasion, and they went into captivity for 70 years and they came home. And then it happened again after Jesus came. And guess what? They were. Yeah, they were exiled from the land. The land was no man's land for 1700 and something years. I can't remember that until God decided it's time for them to come back home. Now, do we know that all of Israel that is Israel? Like, do we know everybody that's a Jew or not? No, I'll tell you the truth.
We probably won't know because the ten tribes were scattered abroad. Right. We don't know. We may be surprised. Some of us in here might be a lot Jewish and we don't know. We don't even know it. But here's the thing. Don't sit there and tell me that the nation of Israel, when God said I'm going to he was going to establish them. In fact, it says in Isaiah 11 when he said they're going to come back two times. He says I'm going to make them an inside, which if you look up the word inside, it means a nation with a flag. You know, their flag to wasn't supposed to be the Star of David, which is really the Star of Rempen, but it was really supposed to be the olive tree. OK, but just like our our government has been infiltrated by New World Order Luciferians, their government's been infiltrated by New World Order Luciferians. I mean, so we can sit here and point fingers all day long. But God said he did not forsake his people, which he foreknew. And he said he would gather them back to the land. Many will die in the war that's coming. He said there will be a remnant, though, of Jews, true Jews in the land of Israel in the last days who will turn to Jesus as their Messiah. Finally, their eyes will be open. Now, this is Bible. This is not your favorite little YouTube teacher. You know, Paul said you have 10,000. You may have 10,000 in 10,000 instructors in Jesus, but not many fathers, right? Fathers are people who actually been in this thing long enough to see through this foolishness that's out here. And I'm going to tell you, there's tons of foolishness. But all of this that we're watching is prophesied. And the reason I'm talking about this this morning is because something feels different this time about. It just feels different. And we can go ahead. I'm just going to call this this morning, the wars and rumors of wars. And let's just go through some scriptures here and we're going to talk about the Gog and Magog war, which is probably about to happen now. It's also called the six Trumpet war. It's not the same as Armageddon. And there's another Gog Magog incident that happened a thousand years later after the millennial right. They're not the same thing. But let's go go on here to the next one here. I guess I need the clicker, don't I? I guess I could do it myself, but turn this on. There we go. So let's read this Matthew 24. We're just going to read verses three through nine here. It says here, as he set upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately to Jesus, saying, tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of that coming of the end of the world? And Jesus answered, said them, take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ and shall deceive many.
And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars and see that you be not troubled. For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Now, I want to tell you, we just had another round. You know, it seems like every year now we get to the feast season. You know, the Jewish feast season pass over through tabernacles. Seems like we've got rapture, pre-rapture predictions. Every we had them this year, we had them last year. We had them in 2020. I remember doing a message called what was pre-trippers gone wild because, boy, they just predict that they predict them every single September. We it's like we get in and I'm sitting here going, yet when are they going to wake up and realize I love telling them and it's not going to happen because we're here to the end, folks. The rapture of the church or the first resurrection will happen at the end. Not the beginning of the last seven years. And that's why he says you're going to hear of these wars and rumors of wars, not just rumors, but you're going to hear of wars, real wars. And I mean, we got them going on. If you think about what's going on, the Ukraine, Russia is at war. Really, Russia and the United States is at war through the Ukraine. All right. Which is not good for us. But I've always known that we've got this other problem and this other problem. And I've been wondering when we were going to get around to it. But of course, some of you have already heard Israel's at war with Hamas after unprecedented attacks. Well, it's a fact. We know it's a fact. That Hamas is just a front organization for the nation of Iran. All right. And Iran has vowed, in fact, their assembly and their leaders for the last few decades have said, we're going to wipe Israel off the map. Now, what they're saying, the very words that they're saying comes straight out of a prophecy in Psalm 83. In fact, we're going to turn turn to Psalm 83 and we're going to read it. This is a prophecy of basically the Gog Magog war as well. We're going to be all over the Bible this morning, by the way. Somebody say the Bible, not YouTube. Hallelujah. So I'm banned from YouTube anyway. So anyway, let's let's read this. This is Psalm 83, verse one. He says, Keep not silence, O God, hold not thy peace and be not still, O God, for lo, thine enemies make a tumult. And they that hate thee have lifted up the head. Now, notice he says they that hate thee. Who who hates the God of Israel? The God of the Bible more than Muslims. Just going to tell you that the truth, they hate Jesus. He is the God of creation. He says, lo, thine enemies make a tumult. They hate they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, let us cut them off from being a nation that the name of Israel may be no more remembered, for they have consulted together with one consent. They are a confederate against thee. And then he begins to talk about the places, the tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Arabs. This Edom and Moab are the and Ammon are right now is the the land of Jordan. And he goes on to say your ball and Ammon and Amalek, Tyree, Asher, which is Syria. And he just goes on a list. He says these these are going to come together and say, let's wipe Israel off the map. Let's let's remove them from being a nation. Remove their name. Now, this is prophetic of, of course, and we're going to go to it, Ezekiel 38 and 39. You can go there. Let's go ahead and put that back up. And then you go to Ezekiel 38, 39. This is known as the Gog Magog war. And what baffles me, too, and I'm going to show you here. Now, this is something I've preached before, but, you know, we never preach. You know, we never just preach something new every day. We guess sometimes we got to cover ground again. You know, we don't preach salvation once. We don't preach the baptism, the Holy Spirit once. We don't preach biblical creation once. So I actually went back. This is actually a PowerPoint, part of a PowerPoint from 2017, where I talked about this. But anyway, these are your verses. We probably won't get to Zechariah 12, but you can read that for yourself later. But let's go. Y'all go ahead and put up Ezekiel 38. We're going to start there. Let's read some of this. And I'll tell you right now, if you don't have a King James version, you're going to not understand this because it's actually changed in other versions, but it's correct in this one. And there's a very key point to let you know that this is talking about something different than what happens after the millennial reign. Well, let's start reading. This is Ezekiel 38. And the word of the Lord came unto me saying, "'Son of man, set thy face against Gog, "'and the land of Magog, and the chief prince "'of Meshach and Tubal, and prophesy against them. "'And say thus, saith the Lord God, "'behold, I am against thee, O Gog, "'and the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, "'and I will turn thee back, "'and I will put hooks into thy jaws, "'and I will bring thee forth in all thine army, "'horses and horsemen, all of them clothed "'with all sorts of armor, even a great company, "'with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.'" And then he says, who? Persia. Well, what is Persia? Do you know that Iran was Persia up until 1934, 35?
It's still Persia, folks. And they'll tell you even though that you ask them who they are, they'll say, I'm Persia, right? So he says that we're gonna have Persia, Ethiopia, Libya with them, and all them with shield and helmet, Gomer, and all his bands, and the house of Togarmah, of the north quarters, this is Turkey. He says in all his bands, he says, "'Be thou prepared, and prepare thyself, "'for thou and all thy company that are assembled "'under thee, and be thou a guard unto them, "'after many days thou shalt be visited.'" And he tells us when this is gonna happen. In the latter years or in the last days, that's what this term means. In the last days, thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword. He's talking about the land of Israel. And is gathered out of many people against the mountains of Israel, not the mountains of America, the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste, but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Now, this is what's amazing. This verse nine, this is long before they invented airplanes. And he says to them about this army, they're going to ascend into the air and come like a storm. Think about that right there. They're gonna ascend and come like a storm. And thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. And thus saith the Lord, it shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think in evil thought, and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages, and I will go to them that are at rest, and them that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, to take spoil and to take prey, to turn thy 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 that dwell in the midst of the land. I mean, right now, Israel, the people of Israel turned a wasteland, no man's land, into an oasis, with cattle, and their fruits, and vegetables, and water. I mean, they've transformed that place. They export all this food out of the desert. You know, Isaiah prophesied that in Israel, the desert would blossom, fulfilled prophecy. He says that these people were gathered out of all these nations and brought back, and then there's gonna be a day that all these Arab nations, along with this, whoever this Gog and Magog is, is going to come together. Persia, Iran, they're gonna come together, and notice it says, when he says Gog and Magog, he talks about Persia next, and I'm gonna show you Gog and Magog is.
We know, you don't even have to speculate. There's no speculation, there's no guesswork about it. We know exactly who Gog and Magog is. We're gonna find out, without any shadow of a doubt. Let's go to this. Just remember, you see this little area up here? Anybody know where we are right here? Right, so here's the Mediterranean Sea. Down here's Israel. Above here, this is Turkey. Now, this is the Black Sea. Right above here, you have Ukraine, which one reason, listen, one reason Russia wants the Ukraine back is because it was basically the beginning of their civilization. But it was first called Scythia. This is historical, geographical fact. Where is that? Right above the Black Sea. Well, what is right above the Black Sea now? The Ukraine, then what? Russia. The Ukraine used to be part of Russia, right? But you see that, Scythia, right? Everybody see it? Now, the Rothschilds did that. No, they didn't. Here's your different, this is an 1874 map that showed you what I was talking about, Gomer, Togarmah, Meshech and Tubal. This is Turkey area, and then above the Black Sea. We know now it's Russia. Now, Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, our students ought to know this from our fire and grace school of ministry, especially our graduates. This right here is straight from the complete works of Josephus, and this is what he said. He says, after they were dispersed abroad in the count of their languages and went out by colonies everywhere, and each colony took possession of that land into which God led them. Magog founded those that from him were named Magogites, but who are by the Greeks called the Scythians. Everybody see that? Now, no one disputes, not even secular historians, that Josephus is not an accurate historian, okay? And he's telling you from the time of the Tower of Babel, when they were dispersed because of their languages, the Magog founded those that were named from him. So Magog was a person, and his descendants were the Magogites, but the Greeks decided to call them the Scythians. And we saw, and he says, the Encyclopedia Britannica says, the Scythian is a member of a nomadic people originally from where? Iranian stock, isn't that interesting? So the ancient Iranians are related to the Russians. Oh, then he goes on to say that they migrated from Central Asia to Southern Russia
in the eighth and seventh centuries BC. Scythians founded a rich and powerful empire that survived for several centuries in what is now Russia. And the Russians, you can find it in this book, I love this book, I think it came out in about 2006, I think. And I don't agree with him on every, I think he's a preacher of God, but he does good research. With this by Joel C. Rosenberg, Epicenter, oh, 2000, yeah, this came out in 2006, because he was in Russia in 2004. And I said, this is confirmed by New York Times bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg when he was in Russia in 2004 doing research for his book, The Ezekiel Option, he wrote, so while we were in Moscow, we toured the state historical museum, sure enough, as we spent several hours walking the floors of the enormous red brick building, facing Red Square, we found in glass case after glass case, numerous Scythian artifacts dug up by Russian archeologists and anthropologists and all on display in the Russian equivalent of our Smithsonian. Not only was the Russia's Scythian heritage real, as we learned, but the Russian government was proud to let the whole world know. So it's no mystery that the Russian government so it's no mystery who Gog and Magog is, it's Russia. And Russia will be allied with Iran, Syria, Persian nations. Well, guess who are Russia's top allies in the Middle East? Iran first in Syria. I mean, this is, again, facts. Now, I believe the Gog-Magog war is also prophesied and revealed in what we are gonna call the Six Trumpet War. See, I believe five of the trumpets have already been blown. You may not believe that, you may not agree with that. That's your prerogative, but this is what I believe. All right, but this hadn't happened yet. And this is one for the Preterist. Hadn't happened yet, bucco. And the Six Angels sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the Golden Altar, which is before God, saying to the Six Angel, which had the trumpet loose the four angels, which were bound in the Great River Euphrates, and the four angels were loosed, which 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 200,000, or 200 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, and just seeing the brimstone, and the heads of the horses, whereas the heads of lions and out of their mouths issued fire, and smoke, and brimstone. And by these three was the third part of men killed by fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone which issued out of their mouths. Now never in the history of mankind
has one third of the population of the world been killed by fire in a war. Not has, it's not happened. So the Preterist's crap goes right out the window, okay? Jesus did not come in 70 A.D. All the stars did not fall from heaven in 70 A.D. One third of mankind was not killed in 70 A.D. And we know from church history, Irenaeus and everybody else that the book of Revelation was not written until 95 to 96 A.D. by the Apostle John. So to say everything was fulfilled in 70 A.D. is the most idiotic false doctrine I've ever heard. And if you fall for it, you've been deceived. I don't care how happy and joyful, and you bounce around as a molarite. This right here is what happens next. Now what's interesting is he tells us that there's four fallen angels bound in the Great River Euphrates. And I'm sorry, I will name your name. If you wanna teach false doctrine to my church, your name's gonna get named. So if that offends you, too bad. He says there's four angels bound in the Great River Euphrates. And it's interesting to me because fallen angels are territorial. They have regions. Remember the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia, the Prince of Grisha. Remember that from Daniel 10. It's interesting that the Euphrates River starts in Turkey, moves through Syria, Iraq, and then touches Iran for about 50 miles down here before it empties into the Persian Gulf. Four nations are touched by this river. And there's four fallen angels bound in the Great River Euphrates, but when they are loosed, they are going to start this war. They are going to move situations. Now, am I saying that this skirmish now in Israel is it? I don't know. We will see, but it very well could be. Just because of where we are now in this timeline. But this is very important for you to understand. These things are very specific, these prophecies are. Now, folks, one third of mankind being killed. There's eight billion people now. So we're talking about over two billion. You know, in all of World War II, only 60 million people, I say only, but 60 million people, that's a big number. But that nowhere approached one third of mankind. And that war was horrible. Can you imagine a war that kills one third of mankind?
And it doesn't say by a vaccine. I've got people trying to tell me, oh, this saying, this six trumpet war is not a real war. It's the vaccine killing people. I mean, there are people gotta, listen, folks, there are theories upon theories upon theories upon interpretations upon interpretations that people just draw out of the sky somewhere. I don't know where they get it. We stick to the Bible. It says there's gonna be a war that's gonna last a year, a month, an hour, a day. How specific is that? But that war in, you know, World War II was six years long. I mean, World War I was four years. We're talking about in just a little over a year, one third of mankind being killed. The only way that can happen is the release of nuclear weapons. Now, Israel has made it clear. They call it the Samson option. They have made it clear that if they feel they're going to be overrun, overtaken by conventional forces, that they can't fight or they can't beat. They said they will turn Iran. And they told Iran, we will turn you into black glass. They will use, and Israel has probably somewhere around 200 to 300 nuclear weapons. And then there's people out there who say nuclear weapons are a hoax. No, they're not. You're going to see them. That's why the Bible said in the last days, you will see blood and fire and pillars of smoke. Pillars. It's real. Nuclear weapons are real. In fact, Nancy's dad was part of, in the Air Force, was part of Operation Dominic, Operation Fishbowl. He was there. He said they messed up and detonated. They had a nuclear, most of the nuclear weapons were lithium-6, and they said, well, we're going to make one with lithium-7. And they thought up in it just a little bit, was just make it a little bit more powerful. And it was like, I can't remember now, 20 times more powerful, nearly killed everybody there. Because they underestimated that little lithium-6 to lithium-7 thing. Yeah, the detonation of nuclear weapons has happened all over the world, folks. We did it. Russia's done it. England, France, all these nations. Now Pakistan. And Pakistan's nuclear weapons, we don't know how many they've sold to Saudi Arabia. And actually, how many of you know that Bush and Prime Minister of England, back a little, number of years ago, Cameron, let certain nuclear weapons go missing? We don't know who have. It's about seven, eight, nine of them.
We don't even know where they are, who got them. Turkey, we have nuclear weapons in Turkey that are not secure. The Turkish government could overtake our bases and seize our nuclear weapons we have there. Things can get out of hand real quick. And it's going to at some point. Now, let's go back real quick here. Let's go back to Ezekiel. So we're reading that, Ezekiel 38. We're gonna jump over, jump down a little bit. Verse 14. Y'all don't mind us, do you? You learning something? You know, studied this for a lot of years, folks. And that's another thing too. Before you teach some doctrine, you best know what you're talking about. And sometimes it takes time. It takes time to study it out. It takes time for some things to unfold. It takes time to research history. And these people just jump on the internet. I got people just telling me all kind of crazy things. And you know, they get mad at me if I go, no, sorry, not in the Bible. Or, well, just look at all my stuff. And I'm like, I don't have to. I can look at right here. I mean, this one person told me, this woman that says America was Israel. And I said, so you're gonna tell me, I mean, everything she said, I said, Jesus was crucified here in American soil in North America and not in the Middle East. Yes, that's what she said. Are you gonna tell me the city of Rome, the Roman Empire was not at a Rome, Italy, but where? Here in America, yes. She said that, yes, it's here. And I'm like, you're trying to undo all of history, all of archeology, all of everything we know to be true. I mean, I'm sorry, but the Colosseum is in Italy. The Vatican is in Italy. And she told me, you know, Rome is Washington DC. That's where Rome was when Jesus, and Jesus was crucified somewhere in Utah, I think. She, but she's serious about this. She is dead serious. And I'm just like, you know, I've been to Israel. I said, look, I've been to Israel. I've been to Golgotha. I've looked at it. I've stood on top of it. I've walked in the Garden Tomb, which is exactly where the Bible says, right outside of Damascus Gate of the old city. I've been there, stood there. No, I said, Utah somewhere. And I'm just like, this person should not be teaching anyone the Bible.
First of all, I'll tell you the truth. They're not a pastor. They're not called to do this. You know what they said in the first minute of the video? I'm just gonna give it to you. That they went to IHOP in Kansas City and three people prophesied over. I said, well, there you go. And I told her, I said, that's why another thing, I can't trust that the thing comes out of your mouth. Because if you didn't discern what was going on at IHOP in Kansas City, you're not my Bible teacher, right? Help us, Lord. The Middle East is real. A lot of stuff happened there. Verse 14, he goes down and he says, thou therefore, Son of Man prophesied and say unto God, thus saith the Lord God, in that day when my people of Israel dwellest safely, thou shalt not, shalt thou not know it. And thou shalt come from the place out of the north parts. Thou and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses and a great company and a mighty army. Now, folks a lot of the time say, well, he's talking about horses, guess what? Most all special forces units now have horses in them. A lot of people don't know that. Even ours, they use horses. He says here in verse 16, he says, thou shalt come up against my people of Israel as a cloud to cover the land. And that shall be in the latter days. Somebody say latter days. Last days. 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. So the Lord is saying, I'm gonna bring you on in and the world's gonna know that I am the Lord. How are they gonna know? Because it's been foretold for 2,600 years. That exactly this would happen in the last days. And you say, Pastor Dean, I wish you wouldn't scare me like this. Let me tell you, this is not about scaring you. This is about being able to say, you knew and you heard it before it happened. Because it's gonna happen. And prophecy is one of the ways God has said, you will know that I am the Lord, the creator, the one true God, because of the prophecies I gave you, right? Can we keep going? I gotta just read it and keep preaching in between everyone. And he says, the heathen will know. Then verse 17, thus saith the Lord God, art thou he whom I have spoken in old time of 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 the same time when God shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord, God that my fury shall come up in my face. 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 founts of heaven and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep upon the earth and all the men that are upon the face of the earth shall shake at my presence. Boy, don't you know when this goes down, the trembling that will come upon the whole world, the shaking. Our hearts will fail them. Jesus said for fear because of the things coming upon the world. And he says there's gonna be this great shaking and the mountains 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 and overflowing rain of great hailstones, fire and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself and sanctify myself. I will be known in the eyes of many nations. They shall know that I am the Lord. So God says when they do this, when they move against Israel, when they move in the land, when this war happens, everybody's gonna know that I am the Lord. Why? Because it's foretold in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Your world's gonna change. Because we didn't think, you think about the people back in 1940s. The World War I's going, they had no idea that a little project was going on called the Manhattan Project. And then all of a sudden, weapons appear on the scene that destroy entire cities, one bomb. And the ones we have now, the ones Russia has now, the one they call Satan, the nuclear missile they call Satan, the Nakasaki, what is it? Hiroshima bomb, nothing compared to what we have now. Now, I don't believe they're gonna go crazy, completely crazy, or no one would be left. So they'll probably use smaller tactical nukes. They'll probably use some neutron bombs that are less destructive. But think about this. If you're gonna kill one third of mankind, there's gonna be some serious stuff going on. But God says, in the midst of all this, I am going to be glorified. People are going to know. People want a sign. You know, people keep saying,
why didn't God just show himself? You really want that. Because he's about to. Then it goes into chapter 39. He says, therefore thou son of man, prophesy against God, and thus saith the Lord, behold, I am against thee, O God, the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, and I will turn thee back, and leave but a sixth part of thee. That's the part I said, if it's not in your Bible, you need to get a Bible that has this. He says, I will turn thee back, and leave but a 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 will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand, and thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy bands, and the people that are with thee. I will give thee into the ravenous birds of every sort to the beast of the field, to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field, for I have spoken it, saith the Lord, the Lord God rather, and he said, I will send fire upon Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles. Now notice he says two different things here. I will send fire upon Magog, Russia, and upon those who dwell carelessly in the isles. I think that's where we're gonna get some of this. There's no nation that dwells more carelessly than the United States of America. We're gonna be hit in this too. He says, so will I make my holy name known. Everybody see that? God said, I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let them pollute my holy name anymore. And the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the holy one in Israel. Behold it is come, and it is done, sayeth the Lord God, this is the day whereof I have spoken, and they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and they shall set on fire, and burn the weapons, both the shields, and the bucklers, and the bows, and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years. Now I'm just gonna stop right here. It's important he says seven years, isn't it? Why not five? Why not 10? Why not three? Why is it seven years? I think it's because this war is probably what starts the last seven years, and that's all the time they got. But they're gonna burn these weapons for seven years. Why would they burn them? Think about it. Nuclear contamination. Burn them, bury them. You have to get rid of them somehow. I mean, when the Russians were trying to put out the Chernobyl fire, they just had to leave everything there. All the helicopters they used to dump water, everything just had to stay there, because everything was radioactive, and it just looks like a big, massive graveyard.
But they're gonna burn these things with fire for seven years. Now this lets me know, number one, this is not happening in the millennial ranks, folks. This is not happening at the end. Yeah, God says there's gonna be another Gog Magog stirring up that Satan's gonna do after he's loosed for a thousand years. But there's not gonna be any, the people of Israel having to burn weapons for seven years, fire's gonna come down from God himself and take care of every bit of that little rebellion, instantaneously, okay? That's a separate Gog Magog issue. This one, I believe, happens before or starts, somewhere in the beginning of these last days. Now Armageddon, how do we know Armageddon is different? Because he says about this army that comes against Israel in here, that he's gonna leave a sixth part of them. He's gonna let a sixth part of them survive. Why do you let people survive? So they can go back and tell what happened, all right? But here's the deal. At Armageddon, after the mark of the beast and all the armies of the world that are gathered together at Armageddon, those will be the armies that have followed the beast, that have taken the mark of the beast. And God says when Jesus returns, all of them will die and the blood will run to the horse's bridle, there'll be so many dead. No one's gonna be left to the armies of the Antichrist, not a one. So this is how we know that Armageddon and Gog and Magog war are two different events. I believe Gog Magog war is gonna start somewhere in the beginning of the tribulation period. And then we're gonna have Armageddon at the end of the tribulation period. Jesus returns to fight the armies there and destroys them all, all the armies. And then we have the thousand year millennial reign of Jesus on the earth, not some mythical 1000 year reign that nobody saw, Preterist. I mean, the Bible tells us in Isaiah that when we get to the millennial reign that all the weapons of war, even the swords are beaten into plowshares. There are no weapons of war for a thousand years. That's never happened before. Again, Preterism is foolishness. And what Preterism is about, these false doctrines about the last days and who's Israel and who's Gog and Magog, all these false teachings out there, it is to distract from us seeing the fulfilled prophecy. That's all it is. Because the Lord says all of this is gonna happen is my judgment upon the wicked, the enemies of my people,
both the Jews and the Christians. He said, I will avenge. Oh, why y'all didn't hear me? He said, this is about showing his great wrath. And then he said, the heathen will know, my people will know, everybody's gonna know that I am the Lord. Isn't it amazing? The Lord's like, well, they keep asking for a sign. Here's your sign, right? Russia. So, and this is another thing. This ought to teach everybody a lesson too. You cannot just speculate with these things of Bible doctrine and prophecy. You don't get to speculate. You have to have scripture to back up scripture, archeology, history, geography. And then you look at the current events. Are they lining up? Just like the Bible foretold. Exactly. Now, I'm gonna show you something else. There's a prophecy. We're gonna go to Jeremiah 49. These are some of the pictures that I gave you. Just get them ready. I'm gonna show you a little thing that, the Bible is amazing. How many ever heard of Elam? The judgment of Elam. Anybody? Okay, so you're gonna learn something today. All right, we got one. Jeremiah, let me get there. 49. Actually, let me just pull it up right here. All right, go to Jeremiah 49 and we're gonna go to verse 34. And I'm gonna show you something's gonna blow your mind. This is a prophecy. Remember that these, the end of Jeremiah's, these prophecies, some of them were for nations at that time that would happen. And then some of them were for distant things that would happen. That never did happen. This is very interesting. All right, so let's read it. 34, the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam and the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah saying, thus saith the Lord of hosts, behold, I will break the bow of Elam. Now let's pause for a second. Didn't we just read that in Ezekiel 39 where he said, I'm gonna break their bows, right? Same language, and whenever God used same language, you didn't pay attention. He says, I wanna break their bow of Elam, the chief of, and listen to this, notice in this phrase, the chief of their might. Remember that. The chief of their might. And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven and I will scatter them toward all the winds and there shall be no nation whether the outcast of Elam shall not come.
Now they're gonna be scattered to all the nations, this region of Elam. For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies and before them that seek their life and I will bring evil upon them. Even my fierce anger, sayeth the Lord, and I will send the sword after them till I have consumed them. And I will set my throne in Elam and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, sayeth the Lord, but it shall come to pass when? In the latter days, in the last days that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, sayeth the Lord. Now Elam, where is the Elam region? Put up the Elam region one first. So here is an old map, Syria, Babylonia, we're going back into way back. Here is the region of Elam. Notice it says the Persians are here. Well, remember when I showed you that map of the Euphrates and the Tigris coming into, what was right here? That's where Iran is. Let's look at the modern map here. That's where Elam is, right here. And guess what else is there? The Bashir nuclear reactor. It's in Elam. Who built the Bashir nuclear reactor? Well, the Germans started building it for them, the Iranians in the 1970s, and then it got stopped when the revolution happened in Iran. Then guess who came in and completely finished the building and established Iran as a nuclear power? Russia. This is where they get their nuclear material from to build nuclear weapons. Now, Iran has stated if they ever successfully build a nuclear weapon that they're going to use it on Israel. They've told that publicly. It's nothing hidden. And let's just show you the other one. Here's a, you can just look up the Elam. Elam was a region in the near east corresponding to the modern day provinces of Elam and Kuzakstan in the southern Iran. So there you have it there. But this area is an area that if Israel and Iran go to full war, this will be one of the places that Israel destroys. Now you think about it. They destroy this nuclear reactor. What is that gonna do? People will scatter, just like it says. And many of them will scatter and still die because they're going to be dealing with radiation poison just like Chernobyl. There are many people that didn't get too far from Chernobyl after it happened. And here it is in your Bible
speaking about a specific area, not just the nation, but a specific area in the nation that's going to be destroyed by fire and cause the inhabitants to flee to every country in the face of the earth. And yet the Lord said, but this is my fierce anger upon them because it's really these radical Muslims in Iran that are pushing this thing, pushing Israel to the point of this war that's going to kill so many people. And God is going to hold them accountable for this. You understand? So I tell you all this to tell you it's been in the word of God for thousands of years, but he kept telling you it's gonna happen in the last days. And here we are. And you know, the Lord is so good to us. He said what? He said, we're not children of the darkness that all of this should take us by surprise. We're children of the light. Meaning if we know the light, what is the light? He said, the light is the word of God. It's the lamp. It's the light unto our path. So he says, if we're walking in the light as he is in the light, what? We will know. We will not be caught by surprise. We shouldn't be caught by surprise. And something else, you've got to prepare yourself spiritually, mentally, in every way you can because people are going to be freaking out. Let me tell you what the zombie apocalypse is. It's people's gonna be freaking out. Their brains aren't gonna have to be changed by some signal through the phones. Another Big Nothing Burger, which the Lord just already let me know with that whole October, if I say, it's gonna be another Y2K, I knew it. Just Big Nothing Burger. It's all distractions. You hear me? You know why all this stuff, there's these stupid distractions that come out of the internet? To keep you from this. This right here is all you need. Study the Bible. Read the Bible. And you will know the news before it becomes news. The reason I like that book, Epicenter by Rosenberg, Rosenberg's a Jewish guy that got saved. He was actually an advisor to Netanyahu at one point. And he did his book. He goes, from Bible prophecy, these are things, headlines you will see in the news in the days ahead. And everything he has in there, we're seeing them happen now. And he wrote this book, you know, 2006.
Because it's not hard. If you stick to the Bible, it makes sense. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. If you continue in the Word of God. I get so frustrated with this stuff. People send me videos, they look at this, check this out, watch this. What about this? And I'm just going, sometimes they're two hours long, they're an hour long. And sometimes I can watch them and sometimes I can't. But sometimes I only can watch, I watch two minutes and I know. Why? Because I know this. If it doesn't match this, I don't care what kind of revelation you think you got. And then people want to tell me, oh, the Holy Ghost showed me this. The Holy Spirit told me this. And I'm like, if it's contrary to this, he didn't tell you. And the Bible says, let the prophets speak and let the others judge. Well, you know what? If you're going to say, God told me, I can say, maybe he didn't. Right? Somebody say, amen or me? Now, what are we supposed to do? Let me tell you something right now. You guys, Christians right now, we need to be sharing this. I preach this so you will know this, but so you can share this with other people. Remember, he says, there's going to be a great shaking of people. They're going to be trembling. They're going to be freaking out. But if they know that you told them before it happened, guess where they're going to run to first? Guess who they're going to call first? I need to talk to you. What's going on? What do I need to do? And some of them aren't going to be saved, or some of them are going to be living in sin, and that's when you're going to preach the gospel to them and say, God's word is true from Genesis to Revelation. You need to surrender your life to Jesus because you need to be prepared to die if you die tomorrow. All of this is to lead people to Jesus. Every prophecy, every word is to lead people back to Jesus to prove the Bible is true, that it was supernaturally inspired by God, that it's not just a book written by men. This is why I can't even fathom that there are preachers out there that don't talk about Bible prophecy when it's happening right in front of them. You know, in 2008, I had preached in Bible prophecy from the time I came back to the Lord when I was 19. The first sermon I ever preached in a church, I preached in a dead Methodist church in Montgomery one time. First sermon I ever preached, Matthew 24, the second coming of Jesus. That was 36 years ago. You know what the Lord told me then? When the Lord appeared to me in October of 1987, you know what he told me? He said, waste no time, son, for there is little time left to spare. And that was 36 years ago.
I took him seriously. That's why I got busy studying the Bible. That's why I got busy preaching. That's why I got busy telling everybody I could about Jesus and about Bible prophecy. That's going to be fulfilled. I've been preaching it all these years, but I went through a period there, probably 2003 to about 2008, that I didn't preach on it. And I got an invitation to go preach at the church in Washington, D.C. that I helped start with a group of Nigerians back in 2003. So they invited me to come preach. And you know, as I was praying and fasting, getting ready to go there to preach for two weeks, you know what the Lord got me back on? Bible prophecy. But then he told me in 2008, right as Nancy and I got married, he said to me, and this was a strong word. He said, son, he said, you do not want to be a preacher living in the last days that didn't preach about the last days. I said, no, I don't. And he was letting me know, preacher, you live in these days and you don't talk about this stuff to your congregation. You're going to be held accountable. That blood's going to be on your hands. Because prophecy, Jesus said in Matthew 24, he said after he said all that stuff that's going to happen, he said, behold, I have told you before. And then he said in John 15, he says, this is why I tell you, I told you before these things. So when they come to pass, you will believe. See, this telling you beforehand, this prophetic stuff in the Bible is so that you will believe the Bible, you will believe God, and that is faith. So you will not be shaken when the shaking comes. You hear me? See, I am not going to be moved. That's going to be blowing up all around me. 10,000 at this side, 10,000 at that side. And I'm going to be like, Lord, I'm with you. I'm ready. Is today the day I go? If not, I'm going to be preaching to these people who are shaking in their boots. How better a time? Somebody said, oh, that's just terrible, this judgment stuff and the fire of God, the wrath of God. That's terrible. We shouldn't use fear. But the Bible says the opposite, doesn't it? Put up Jude 22 and 23. What does it say on some? Have compassion making a difference. Others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire. The Lord's been dealing with me about doing a sermon on the fear of the Lord. I found a CD of me preaching in 1997 entitled the fear of the Lord, fear of God. And it says it's the beginning of wisdom,
but the fear, isn't it amazing? I mean, some of you, you know, I know some of you might be crazy, but I get on a tall building that has no railing and that fear keeps me from getting a little too close to the edge, so I don't want to fall and die because I'm stupid, right? I know some of these people like to walk on these, you see any people that used to walk on the high beams? Not me. No, no. I know you give me a mountain climbing harness and some ropes and I might walk the beam, but I'm not walking it free handed. I'm sorry, Augusta wind blow you right off there, right? But that fear is to keep you alive. See that fear is good. I don't go stand out in front of, you know, 18 wheelers, because I know what's going to happen. I don't do it. There's fear that's good fear and there's fear that's bad fear. But the fear of the Lord, and especially when the shaking comes and his judgments begin to fall upon the world and the things that he foretold. And remember, a lot of the things that he foretold is not his judgment. It's the wicked being wicked, right? And he's going to allow them to be wicked until he finally puts a stop to it all. See, it's amazing. People say, why does God allow evil? Because he's patient, way more patient than we are. But his patience has an end. Everybody talks about God's patience. Oh, he's like it's eternal. No, his patience will have an end and he is going to judge and deal with every wicked person. You hear me? Every pedophile is going to get what's coming to him in this world or the next. Everyone who turned against the commands of God that chose to be an adult or a foreignicator, a drunkard, a drug dealer, a false teacher, a mega church pastor that doesn't preach the word. You're wicked. Every wicked person is going to be dealt with. Not just the ones that take the mark. Every wicked one. And so the day is coming when the Lord Jesus Christ, God Almighty in the flesh returns and stops all the wickedness. There won't be any more child trafficking. You hear me? There won't be any more prostitution. There won't be any more pornography websites. He is going to clean it up.
And then he's going to begin. The environmentalists ought to get with Jesus, man, because Jesus is the one that's going to come back and clean it back up and fix it back the way it's supposed to be. See, I'm with the ultimate environmentalists, Jesus Christ. There's just a time for it, right? His time, not our time. And we're just the way it's supposed to be on anything. We just would trust God. We wouldn't have a lot of this foolishness going on, right? Somebody say, I love Jesus. Do you love Jesus? I love Jesus. I love the word of God. Do you love the word of God? It's alive and powerful. I'm telling you, it's so, that's why this morning I was like, you know, I preached last night in two hours south down in the middle of nowhere, Alabama, lower Alabama and Eretan, wonderful people. Great crowd showed up and, you know, I mean, literally in the middle of nowhere. And we had a good group of our folks show up and we cast some demons out of some people and pray for some people. And it was a great night, but goodness, we drove home two hours, didn't go to bed till after midnight, didn't sleep until I got up about four, just praying, praying, praying, Lord, what do you want for this morning? And it just never came. It just never could get settled on what it was. And then my wife walks in and starts talking about the Israel stuff. And the Lord said, that's it. And it was like, this just came. It's like this old PowerPoint. I need to pull it out and look at it. But I can tell you this much this morning, back there before I got up here to preach this to you, I could feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit so strong. And I felt anointing on this, on the Word this morning, that this was important. And it's important not just for you to hear. It's important for you to get it down in your heart and to share this information with people because it's coming. Now, again, I said, I'm not saying this is it. It could be, it might not be. Feels a little different to me this time. Netanyahu said, and I pulled it up. He said that Israel is gonna use every means necessary, all of its strength to stop this. I have a feeling that the $80 billion worth of weapons that Biden left are being now used, gonna be used against Israel and Israel knows it because they're all about this. They've all, Obama and Biden have been all about creating. They created ISIS. They gave weapons and funded all these anti-Israel elements. They created the Arab Spring that wiped out Christianity pretty much in the Middle East. And they want Israel wiped off the map. And Biden is just doing Obama's bidding. And you know what they're gonna do? You know, Hillary just made,
was in the news too this week, talking about anybody that supports Trump needs to be in a re-education camp. She's not joking, which most of that's Protestant Christians in America that support pretty much, we would take Trump over Biden any day of the week, right? Even with all of his issues. But that's telling you what they have in store for you. And they're not joking about it either. I'll tell you what, that wicked woman, that Jezebel, there's a special place in hell for her if she doesn't repent. I mean, he genuinely repent. You know, hell has different levels of punishment and she's gonna have one somewhere down there near Satan himself. Wickedness. So folks, Jesus is literally coming back. He says it's not gonna be some surprise. It didn't happen in kind of a quiet 70 AD time period. He says every eye is gonna see him. His glory and light is gonna shine from the East to the West. He's gonna open the solid dome firmament crystalline firmament gonna open it up and they're gonna see him. Actually, they're gonna see him before he even starts to come down. They're gonna see the lamb of God seated upon his throne and begin to cry out, hide us from the wrath of the lamb. He's gonna open up that sky that's above us. And guess what, when every eye shall see, they and you aren't on the bottom of some ball not gonna be able to see it. Somebody say amen. You know, I was about to quit at noon, but I couldn't do it to you. I didn't want, that's right. Let's pray. Father in heaven, I thank you so much today. I sense the anointing of your spirit upon this message, upon this word, upon these prophecies of old that we are watching happen now in these latter days and these last days. Lord, you gave them to us so that we would know the truth and so that we could preach this truth and we could warn others and they would know. And so they would know that you are the Lord, Yahweh, the creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the only true God, the only way that they would know the Messiah, the only Messiah, the only Savior, the only Redeemer, the only true God that died for our sins and rose from the dead, the Lord Jesus Christ, that they could come and believe and be born again, have their sins washed away and be saved and be ready for life or death.
So that's the beautiful thing about knowing the creator and knowing that you're born again through Jesus Christ is that there is no fear of death. Death is actually a promotion. And then our bodies will be resurrected and return and made eternal. We're gonna be with you forever. We're gonna inherit the third heaven, the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven. We're gonna inherit the earth that's been repaired and fixed and healed by your power, Lord Jesus. The meek shall inherit the earth. Your people inherit it all. We thank you for it. That was one of my favorite passages in Luke. It says, fear not, little flock. It is your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. And the kingdom's gonna be everything because he owns everything. It's not just the third heaven, it's heaven, it's earth, it's paradise under the earth. We get it all. Don't miss out on that. There's no pleasure of sin that's worth missing out on everything God has for us for all eternity. Amen. Let's stand. What was that third song we did? Let me see. I can't remember the name of it. I never can remember the name of songs anymore. Almost 60, is that what it's called? Oh, Jesus. I wanna do, yeah. What a beautiful name. Yeah, that one. Let's do this song and then we'll hug some necks and go eat. And then, oh, by the way, we got, we're starting something new. So everybody's birthday is in October. Hold your hand up. One, two, three. I know, Mila. All right, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna sell it. Happy birthday to you, by the way. And we have a cake down there for the birthday boys and girls. And that way we're gonna just start trying to do that once a month. We'll just celebrate birthdays. Getting too much to keep up with every single one. So let's pray. Father, thank you again for this time. And Lord, we just choose now to go out and worship you going out of this place. And I thank you, Lord. I pray that many are saved, brought to repentance, brought to faith and belief in your holy word and in the Savior Jesus Christ, Lord, through seeing that these prophecies that you gave thousands of years ago are being fulfilled. We thank you for that. In Jesus' name, amen.
You were the word at the beginning, one with God, your hidden glory. And I'll renew, what a beautiful name, what a beautiful name, the name of Jesus, what a beautiful name, nothing compared, what a beautiful name.
Come on, give him praise in this place. You are holy, Lord, holy, holy, holy. There is none like you. You have no rival, no equal. You will return and all your enemies will be destroyed. They will bow at your feet. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus Christ is Lord. There will be no more. No more evil, no more wickedness, no more rebels. Lord, we thank you that you're going to deal with sin and wickedness and evil when you return. And we know that your return is very soon. Lord, bless your people today. Jesus' name, amen. All right, y'all hug some necks in this place before you leave. If you want to stay, go get you something to eat. Come back downstairs and no announcements that I know of. No announcements, right? But well, you got a women's fellowship thing next week or something. I don't know. Okay, bye, y'all.
