00:00:00,533 --> 00:00:01,468
My friends,
2
00:00:01,534 --> 00:00:02,769
will there ever be peace
3
00:00:02,836 --> 00:00:03,970
in the Middle East?
4
00:00:04,037 --> 00:00:06,039
Military conflicts and terrorism
5
00:00:06,106 --> 00:00:08,007
never seem to cease.
6
00:00:08,074 --> 00:00:09,676
Today, nearly thirty years
7
00:00:09,743 --> 00:00:11,077
after U.S. President
8
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:12,512
George H.W. Bush
9
00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:13,813
sent military forces
10
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,915
to stop Saddam Hussein's attack
11
00:00:15,982 --> 00:00:17,550
on the nation of Kuwait,
12
00:00:17,617 --> 00:00:18,752
American lives
13
00:00:18,818 --> 00:00:19,953
continue to be lost
14
00:00:20,019 --> 00:00:21,654
in the Middle East wars.
15
00:00:21,721 --> 00:00:22,889
Controversy surrounds
16
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:24,624
Iran's ongoing attempts
17
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:26,159
to develop the nuclear fission
18
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:28,261
capabilities that could lead
19
00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:30,130
to nuclear weapons.
20
00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:31,831
Violent Islamist militants
21
00:00:31,898 --> 00:00:33,967
from ISIS and Al Qaeda
22
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:36,369
struggle to revive their forces.
23
00:00:36,436 --> 00:00:37,737
The tiny nation of Israel
24
00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:39,305
struggles for peace,
25
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:40,907
while neighboring Palestinians
26
00:00:40,974 --> 00:00:42,609
demand better conditions
27
00:00:42,675 --> 00:00:43,810
and more control
28
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:44,844
in their West Bank
29
00:00:44,911 --> 00:00:47,180
and Gaza Strip strongholds.
30
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:49,149
Will wars and conflicts continue
31
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:50,517
in the Middle East?
32
00:00:50,583 --> 00:00:52,018
Your Bible reveals that
33
00:00:52,085 --> 00:00:53,453
a great world war
34
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,321
--focused on the Middle East--
35
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:56,322
will precede
36
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:57,624
the most amazing event
37
00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:00,026
yet to come in Bible prophecy,
38
00:01:00,093 --> 00:01:02,595
the return of Jesus Christ.
39
00:01:02,662 --> 00:01:03,897
How will you know when
40
00:01:03,963 --> 00:01:05,899
this event is about to occur?
41
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:06,966
What prophetic signs
42
00:01:07,033 --> 00:01:09,102
should you be watching for?
43
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:10,470
Will there be peace
44
00:01:10,537 --> 00:01:12,305
in the Middle East?
45
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:13,373
Stay tuned.

♪
47
00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:25,351
Warm greetings to all
48
00:01:25,418 --> 00:01:27,287
our friends around the world.
49
00:01:27,353 --> 00:01:28,321
Many of us worry,
50
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:29,355
express concern,
51
00:01:29,422 --> 00:01:30,790
and even become frightened
52
00:01:30,857 --> 00:01:32,592
when we read in our daily news
53
00:01:32,659 --> 00:01:34,227
about the wars, conflicts,
54
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:35,929
and terrorism in many parts
55
00:01:35,995 --> 00:01:37,163
of the world.
56
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:38,465
Troubles in the Middle East
57
00:01:38,531 --> 00:01:39,432
in particular,
58
00:01:39,499 --> 00:01:40,400
affect not just
59
00:01:40,467 --> 00:01:41,768
the Jewish people,
60
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:43,002
but also billions
61
00:01:43,069 --> 00:01:45,104
of Christians and Muslims.
62
00:01:45,171 --> 00:01:48,141
Controversy flared in May 2018
63
00:01:48,208 --> 00:01:49,175
when the United States
64
00:01:49,242 --> 00:01:50,777
moved its embassy in Israel
65
00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:53,513
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
66
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:54,981
American members of Congress
67
00:01:55,048 --> 00:01:55,982
remain divided
68
00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:57,083
over Israel's treatment
69
00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:58,084
of Palestinians
70
00:01:58,151 --> 00:02:00,253
in the West Bank and Gaza.
71
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,254
While many nations
72
00:02:01,321 --> 00:02:02,622
around the world call Israel
73
00:02:02,689 --> 00:02:03,756
an "apartheid" state
74
00:02:03,823 --> 00:02:05,558
and make demands on behalf
75
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:06,593
of the region's Arabs
76
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:08,127
and Palestinians,
77
00:02:08,194 --> 00:02:09,195
the United States
78
00:02:09,262 --> 00:02:10,630
has remained firm as one
79
00:02:10,697 --> 00:02:12,732
of Israel's few staunch allies
80
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:14,334
around the globe.
81
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,969
Will this change?
82
00:02:16,035 --> 00:02:17,370
Will Israel thrive
83
00:02:17,437 --> 00:02:18,438
or even survive
84
00:02:18,505 --> 00:02:20,039
as a Jewish nation?
85
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:22,342
Will it survive at all?
86
00:02:22,408 --> 00:02:23,343
My friends,
87
00:02:23,409 --> 00:02:24,377
there is good news
88
00:02:24,444 --> 00:02:25,411
for the future.
89
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:26,813
Bible prophecy reveals
90
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,947
the sequence of events
91
00:02:28,014 --> 00:02:29,249
leading up to the return
92
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:30,483
of Jesus Christ
93
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:31,885
to establish the glorious
94
00:02:31,951 --> 00:02:33,686
Kingdom of God.
95
00:02:33,753 --> 00:02:34,654
Scripture reveals
96
00:02:34,721 --> 00:02:36,656
--in fact, guarantees--
97
00:02:36,723 --> 00:02:38,191
that world peace will
98
00:02:38,258 --> 00:02:39,192
ultimately reign
99
00:02:39,259 --> 00:02:40,226
in the Middle East
100
00:02:40,293 --> 00:02:42,662
and on all of planet Earth.
101
00:02:42,729 --> 00:02:43,663
But first,
102
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:44,697
there will be war
103
00:02:44,764 --> 00:02:45,999
and bloodshed on a scale
104
00:02:46,065 --> 00:02:47,600
never before seen.
105
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:48,902
You need to be ready,
106
00:02:48,968 --> 00:02:50,203
and you need to know
107
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:51,237

we'll briefly discuss
112
00:02:57,277 --> 00:02:58,611
five prophetic signs
113
00:02:58,678 --> 00:02:59,612
to watch for
114
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:00,813
in the Middle East.
115
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,115

inspiring insight

and understanding.
120
00:03:06,753 --> 00:03:07,687
It's titled:
121
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:09,556
The Middle East in Prophecy.
122
00:03:09,622 --> 00:03:10,857
This booklet will help you
123
00:03:10,924 --> 00:03:11,891
understand what the Bible
124
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:13,192
teaches about the amazing
125
00:03:13,259 --> 00:03:14,360
end-time events
126
00:03:14,427 --> 00:03:16,162
surrounding Jerusalem
127
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:18,231
and the entire Middle East.
128
00:03:18,298 --> 00:03:19,532
You can order the booklet
129
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:20,833

133
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:27,473
Some of you older viewers
134
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:29,509
may remember the Iran-Iraq war,
135
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:32,979
which lasted from 1980 to 1988.
136
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,647
More than a million people
137
00:03:34,714 --> 00:03:35,949
were killed in that war
138
00:03:36,015 --> 00:03:38,017
between Muslim nations.
139
00:03:38,084 --> 00:03:39,185
The Euphrates River
140
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:40,219
was a focal point
141
00:03:40,286 --> 00:03:41,788
of that conflict.
142
00:03:41,854 --> 00:03:43,289
Your Bible reveals that
143
00:03:43,356 --> 00:03:44,390
the Euphrates River
144
00:03:44,457 --> 00:03:46,459
will be a key strategic position
145
00:03:46,526 --> 00:03:49,329
at the end of this present age.
146
00:03:49,395 --> 00:03:51,230
Prophetic Sign Number one is:
147
00:03:56,135 --> 00:03:57,437
If you have your Bible,
148
00:03:57,503 --> 00:03:59,205
turn to the book of Revelation,
149
00:03:59,272 --> 00:04:01,274
chapter nine.
150
00:04:01,341 --> 00:04:02,942
Revelation 9:13...
151
00:04:34,073 --> 00:04:35,008
My friends,
152
00:04:35,074 --> 00:04:36,009
this is describing
153
00:04:36,075 --> 00:04:37,477
another world war.
154
00:04:37,543 --> 00:04:39,278
And this phase of World War III
155
00:04:39,345 --> 00:04:41,447
will kill not just millions,
156
00:04:41,514 --> 00:04:42,615
but even billions
157
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:44,183
of human beings.
158
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:45,918
Jesus Christ said that
159
00:04:45,985 --> 00:04:47,820
unless those days were shortened
160
00:04:47,887 --> 00:04:49,622
no flesh would be saved,
161
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:50,857
all life on earth
162
00:04:50,923 --> 00:04:52,525
would be destroyed.
163
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:56,396
That's in Matthew 24:21-22.
164
00:04:56,462 --> 00:04:57,764
Look on any map
165
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:58,765
and you'll see
166
00:04:58,831 --> 00:04:59,766
that those nations
167
00:04:59,832 --> 00:05:01,601
east of the Euphrates include
168
00:05:01,668 --> 00:05:05,038
Iran, India, China, and Russia.
169
00:05:05,104 --> 00:05:07,240
And an army of 200 million
170
00:05:07,306 --> 00:05:08,641
will form in this area
171
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:10,977
and march to the Euphrates.
172
00:05:11,044 --> 00:05:12,512
Even now China
173
00:05:12,578 --> 00:05:13,579
is taking steps to
174
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:15,815
strengthen its military force.
175
00:05:15,882 --> 00:05:17,083
Consider this report:
176
00:05:43,976 --> 00:05:45,144
The European Union
177
00:05:45,211 --> 00:05:46,446
--which, as we will see,
178
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:47,680
is prophesied to intervene
179
00:05:47,747 --> 00:05:49,415
on Israel's behalf--
180
00:05:49,482 --> 00:05:50,650
is facing growing
181
00:05:50,717 --> 00:05:51,784
economic crises
182
00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:54,153
even as China expands.
183
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:56,122
Prophetic Sign Number one is:
184
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:02,729
Prophetic Sign Number Two Is:
185
00:06:07,266 --> 00:06:08,501
Some of you older viewers
186
00:06:08,568 --> 00:06:10,503
may remember the "Six-Day War"
187
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:13,306
of June 1967.
188
00:06:13,372 --> 00:06:14,307
Israel fought
189
00:06:14,373 --> 00:06:15,308
the combined forces
190
00:06:15,374 --> 00:06:18,044
of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.
191
00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:19,045
Israel captured
192
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:20,513
the Sinai Peninsula,
193
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:21,814
the Golan Heights,
194
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:22,815
the West Bank,
195
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:24,383
and East Jerusalem.
196
00:06:24,450 --> 00:06:25,718
Now Israel had access
197
00:06:25,785 --> 00:06:26,853
to the holy places,
198
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:28,187
including the Western Wall
199
00:06:28,254 --> 00:06:29,188
or Wailing Wall
200
00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:30,790
at the Temple Mount.
201
00:06:30,857 --> 00:06:31,791
Six years later,
202
00:06:31,858 --> 00:06:33,593
in the Yom Kippur War,
203
00:06:33,659 --> 00:06:35,328
Israel repelled invasions
204
00:06:35,394 --> 00:06:37,296
by Egypt and Syria.
205
00:06:37,363 --> 00:06:38,765
Israel, Egypt, and Jordan
206
00:06:38,831 --> 00:06:41,801
later agreed on a UN cease-fire.
207
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:44,070
In 1978, Israel and Egypt
208
00:06:44,137 --> 00:06:46,172
signed the Camp David Accords,
209
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:47,707
returning to Egypt most
210
00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:49,742
of the captured Sinai Peninsula,
211
00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:51,844
except for the Gaza Strip.
212
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:52,812
In 1980,
213
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:54,947
Israel annexed East Jerusalem
214
00:06:55,014 --> 00:06:56,716
and declared the unified city
215
00:06:56,783 --> 00:06:58,251
part of Israel,
216
00:06:58,317 --> 00:06:59,452
against the protests
217
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,788
of Arab forces and their allies.
218
00:07:01,854 --> 00:07:03,289
After ongoing violence
219
00:07:03,356 --> 00:07:05,358
known as "the first intifada,"
220
00:07:05,424 --> 00:07:07,026
Israel put large portions
221
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:08,060
of the West Bank
222
00:07:08,127 --> 00:07:09,295
under Palestinian Authority
223
00:07:09,362 --> 00:07:12,865
control in December 1994.
224
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:13,966
Palestinians living
225
00:07:14,033 --> 00:07:16,102
in the Gaza Strip and West Bank
226
00:07:16,169 --> 00:07:17,436
face tight restrictions
227
00:07:17,503 --> 00:07:18,871
on movement in and out
228
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:20,339
of Israel.
229
00:07:20,406 --> 00:07:21,741
Even in the United States
230
00:07:21,808 --> 00:07:23,409
--perhaps Israel's strongest
231
00:07:23,476 --> 00:07:25,311
and most generous ally--
232
00:07:25,378 --> 00:07:27,113
voices are increasingly calling
233
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,015
on Israel to remove restrictions
234
00:07:29,081 --> 00:07:30,550
on Palestinians
235
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:32,118
and to give greater autonomy
236
00:07:32,185 --> 00:07:34,587
to the Palestinian Authority.
237
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:35,755
The "BDS"
238
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:36,989
--Boycott, Divest,
239
00:07:37,056 --> 00:07:38,157
and Sanction movement--
240
00:07:38,224 --> 00:07:39,859
against Israel
241
00:07:39,926 --> 00:07:41,127
is a growing source
242
00:07:41,194 --> 00:07:42,795
of controversy among those
243
00:07:42,862 --> 00:07:45,665
critical of Israeli policies.
244
00:07:45,731 --> 00:07:47,600
Will world opinion turn further
245
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,101
against Israel?
246
00:07:49,168 --> 00:07:50,169
Will Arab nations
247
00:07:50,236 --> 00:07:51,170
mount another
248
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:52,171
major military attack
249
00:07:52,238 --> 00:07:54,373
against the Jewish nation?
250
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,474
Will world leaders
251
00:07:55,541 --> 00:07:56,843
seek to put Jerusalem
252
00:07:56,909 --> 00:07:59,312
under international control?
253
00:07:59,378 --> 00:08:00,713
We'll discuss these questions
254
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:02,515
in the next part of our program.
255
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:04,317
But first I'd like to offer you
256
00:08:04,383 --> 00:08:05,551
this exciting, free booklet,
257
00:08:05,618 --> 00:08:07,386
The Middle East in Prophecy.
258
00:08:07,453 --> 00:08:08,354
My friends,
259
00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:09,655
you need to be watching
260
00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:10,890
the Middle East
261
00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:12,425
and the trends that will mean
262
00:08:12,491 --> 00:08:14,093
major changes in political
263
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,895
and religious control
264
00:08:15,962 --> 00:08:18,865
over the city of Jerusalem.
265
00:08:18,931 --> 00:08:19,866
What events
266
00:08:19,932 --> 00:08:21,367
will mark these changes?
267
00:08:21,434 --> 00:08:22,368
Who will eventually
268
00:08:22,435 --> 00:08:24,170
control Jerusalem?
269
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:25,538
What does Bible prophecy
270
00:08:25,605 --> 00:08:27,840
say about the future of Israel
271
00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:29,909
and the nations surrounding it?
272
00:08:29,976 --> 00:08:30,943
Will there be peace
273
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:31,944
in Jerusalem
274
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:32,979
and the Middle East?
275
00:08:33,045 --> 00:08:33,980
This exciting booklet
276

279
00:08:38,384 --> 00:08:40,086

280
00:08:40,152 --> 00:08:42,054
Listen to these subheads:
281
00:08:42,121 --> 00:08:43,122
"Will Russia Control
282
00:08:43,189 --> 00:08:44,390
the Middle East?
283
00:08:44,457 --> 00:08:46,792
Who Will Control Jerusalem?
284
00:08:46,859 --> 00:08:49,262
Temple Sacrifices Restored?
285
00:08:49,328 --> 00:08:50,630
Watch for the Abomination
286
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:52,198
of Desolation.
287
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:54,200
Who Rides the Beast?"

In the first part
327
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,014
of our program,
328
00:10:15,081 --> 00:10:16,315
we saw that Bible prophecy
329
00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:17,316
foretells a massive
330
00:10:17,383 --> 00:10:18,317
military invasion
331
00:10:18,384 --> 00:10:19,352
of the Middle East.
332
00:10:19,418 --> 00:10:21,220
We saw that Arab nations
333
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,089
have united against Israel,
334
00:10:23,155 --> 00:10:24,490
and have marshaled
335
00:10:24,557 --> 00:10:26,292
world opinion to support them.
336
00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:28,127
Prophetic Sign Number One was:
337
00:10:32,832 --> 00:10:34,734
Prophetic Sign Number Two:
338
00:10:39,438 --> 00:10:41,073
Prophetic Sign Number Three is:
339
00:10:45,544 --> 00:10:47,079
Bible prophecy reveals
340
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:48,180
that Jerusalem will be
341
00:10:48,247 --> 00:10:49,215
a focus of major
342
00:10:49,281 --> 00:10:51,117
international conflicts.
343
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:52,685
Jerusalem is considered
344
00:10:52,752 --> 00:10:54,453
holy to three of the world's
345
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,055
major religions.
346
00:10:56,122 --> 00:10:57,056
To Jews,
347
00:10:57,123 --> 00:10:58,090
Jerusalem was the city
348
00:10:58,157 --> 00:10:59,392
of the great prophets,
349
00:10:59,458 --> 00:11:00,393
and the capital
350
00:11:00,459 --> 00:11:01,694
of the Kingdom of Israel
351
00:11:01,761 --> 00:11:03,229
and Judah under King David
352
00:11:03,295 --> 00:11:05,431
and his son King Solomon.
353
00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:07,233
The first and second temples
354
00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:08,534
were the center of worship
355
00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:09,535
until the destruction
356
00:11:09,602 --> 00:11:11,103
of the city by the Romans
357
00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:12,905
in 70 AD.
358
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:14,040
Jerusalem is also
359
00:11:14,106 --> 00:11:15,408
the third most holy city
360
00:11:15,474 --> 00:11:16,409
of Islam,
361
00:11:16,475 --> 00:11:17,376
after the cities
362
00:11:17,443 --> 00:11:19,378
of Mecca and Medina.
363
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:21,013
Today the Islamic Mosque
364
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,014
of Omar
365
00:11:22,081 --> 00:11:23,582
--or the Dome of the Rock--
366
00:11:23,649 --> 00:11:24,817
dominates the Temple Mount.
367
00:11:24,884 --> 00:11:26,185
It is believed
368
00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:27,453
that the prophet Mohammed
369
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,487
ascended to Heaven
370
00:11:28,554 --> 00:11:30,222
from that site.
371
00:11:30,289 --> 00:11:31,657
Christians revere the city
372
00:11:31,724 --> 00:11:32,958
as the place where their
373
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:34,560
Savior was crucified.
374
00:11:34,627 --> 00:11:35,594
And where He taught
375
00:11:35,661 --> 00:11:36,695
in the Temple.
376
00:11:36,762 --> 00:11:37,696
Christians believe
377
00:11:37,763 --> 00:11:38,831
Jesus will return
378
00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:40,533
to establish His Kingdom
379
00:11:40,599 --> 00:11:44,070
with Jerusalem as world capital.
380
00:11:44,136 --> 00:11:45,071
Many in the
381
00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:46,072
international community
382
00:11:46,138 --> 00:11:47,073
are very concerned
383
00:11:47,139 --> 00:11:48,707
about the status of Jerusalem
384
00:11:48,774 --> 00:11:50,709
as Israel's capital.
385
00:11:50,776 --> 00:11:52,778
Roman Catholic Pope Francis,
386
00:11:52,845 --> 00:11:55,081
in July of 2018, stated:
387
00:12:38,224 --> 00:12:40,059
The "Community of Nations"?
388
00:12:40,126 --> 00:12:41,594
You may be shocked to learn
389
00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:43,162
that the Bible prophesies
390
00:12:43,229 --> 00:12:44,163
that indeed
391
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:45,164
--in the future--
392
00:12:45,231 --> 00:12:47,032
Jerusalem will be controlled
393
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:48,467
not by Israel,
394
00:12:48,534 --> 00:12:49,468
but by other
395
00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:50,970
governmental powers.
396
00:12:51,036 --> 00:12:52,004
Turn in your Bible
397
00:12:52,071 --> 00:12:53,305
to the book of Revelation
398
00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:54,573
--or Apocalypse.
399
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,208
Revelation, chapter 11.
400
00:12:56,275 --> 00:12:57,877
The Apostle John wrote
401
00:12:57,943 --> 00:12:59,445
in Revelation 11:1...
402
00:13:23,903 --> 00:13:24,870
As you read through
403
00:13:24,937 --> 00:13:25,905
the book of Revelation,
404
00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:27,206
you'll see that this period
405
00:13:27,273 --> 00:13:28,507
of three and one-half years
406
00:13:28,574 --> 00:13:30,476
precedes the return of Christ.
407
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:31,510
As we've pointed out
408
00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:33,112
on previous programs,
409
00:13:33,179 --> 00:13:34,480
two prophets of God
410
00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:36,282
will witness with great power
411
00:13:36,348 --> 00:13:37,650
during that same period
412
00:13:37,716 --> 00:13:39,718
of three and one-half years.
413
00:13:39,785 --> 00:13:41,020
You can read about that
414
00:13:41,086 --> 00:13:42,388
in verses 3 through 14
415
00:13:42,454 --> 00:13:44,256
of Revelation 11.
416
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:45,558
God Almighty states
417
00:13:45,624 --> 00:13:46,592
in verse 3...
418
00:13:55,834 --> 00:13:57,670
For three and one-half years,
419
00:13:57,736 --> 00:13:59,772
these two witnesses will contend
420
00:13:59,838 --> 00:14:01,307
with the Gentile force
421
00:14:01,373 --> 00:14:02,341
which will dominate
422
00:14:02,408 --> 00:14:04,577
the Middle East at that time.
423
00:14:04,643 --> 00:14:05,878
This will be a time
424
00:14:05,945 --> 00:14:06,879
of great tribulation
425
00:14:06,946 --> 00:14:07,947
for the whole world,
426
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:09,081
especially for those
427
00:14:09,148 --> 00:14:10,916
who are true Christians.
428
00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:12,685
Billions will be killed.
429
00:14:12,751 --> 00:14:13,919
Many who accept Christ
430
00:14:13,986 --> 00:14:14,920
during that time
431
00:14:14,987 --> 00:14:16,589
will be persecuted terribly,
432
00:14:16,655 --> 00:14:18,057
even martyred.
433
00:14:18,123 --> 00:14:20,326
But you can escape that time,
434
00:14:20,392 --> 00:14:22,928
if you respond to God's calling.
435
00:14:22,995 --> 00:14:23,929
If you feel
436
00:14:23,996 --> 00:14:25,464
that God is calling you now
437
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,099
to commit your life to Christ
438
00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:28,801
and the teachings of the Bible,
439
00:14:28,867 --> 00:14:30,336
call the number on your screen,
440
00:14:30,402 --> 00:14:31,804
and one of our representatives
441
00:14:31,870 --> 00:14:32,771
will be happy
442
00:14:32,838 --> 00:14:33,806
to meet with you
443
00:14:33,872 --> 00:14:34,840
or talk with you
444
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:35,908
at your convenience.
445
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:38,177
Prophetic Sign number three is:
446
00:14:42,648 --> 00:14:43,849
Our next prophetic sign
447
00:14:43,916 --> 00:14:45,651
involves restored sacrifices
448
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:46,986
by the Jews.
449
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:47,987
But first,
450
00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:49,288

458
00:14:58,697 --> 00:15:00,699
Who Will Control Jerusalem?
459
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:02,001
Watch for the Abomination
460
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:03,002
of Desolation;
461
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:04,603
The King of the North
462
00:15:04,670 --> 00:15:05,938
Invades the Middle East;
463
00:15:06,005 --> 00:15:07,606

464
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:09,608
of World War III.

489
00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:46,979
In this program,
490
00:15:47,046 --> 00:15:48,280
we have so far seen
491
00:15:48,347 --> 00:15:49,348
three prophetic signs
492
00:15:49,415 --> 00:15:50,616
for the Middle East.
493
00:15:50,683 --> 00:15:52,418
Prophetic Sign Number One:
494
00:15:57,089 --> 00:15:58,857
Prophetic Sign Number Two:
495
00:16:03,095 --> 00:16:04,897
Prophetic Sign Number Three:
496
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:10,769
Prophetic Sign Number Four is:
497
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:16,442
Remember the key sign
498
00:16:16,508 --> 00:16:17,443
that introduces
499
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:18,977
these prophetic milestones
500
00:16:19,044 --> 00:16:20,212
is the Abomination
501
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:21,680
of Desolation.
502
00:16:21,747 --> 00:16:23,682
What is this abomination?
503
00:16:23,749 --> 00:16:25,351
Jesus told us to be alert
504
00:16:25,417 --> 00:16:27,119
to this key prophetic sign,
505
00:16:27,186 --> 00:16:28,187
which will take place
506
00:16:28,253 --> 00:16:29,221
in the Middle East.
507
00:16:29,288 --> 00:16:31,090
He said in Mathew 24:15...
508
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:47,673
Turn in your Bible to Daniel
509
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:49,141
the 11th chapter.
510
00:16:49,208 --> 00:16:50,676
Historically, the Greek ruler
511
00:16:50,743 --> 00:16:52,211
Antiochus Epiphanes
512
00:16:52,277 --> 00:16:54,446
issued a decree in 167 B.C.
513
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:56,181
that prohibited
514
00:16:56,248 --> 00:16:57,383
further sacrifices
515
00:16:57,449 --> 00:16:59,051
in the Jerusalem Temple.
516
00:16:59,118 --> 00:17:00,652
Daniel 11:31...
517
00:17:14,767 --> 00:17:15,734
In addition to stopping
518
00:17:15,801 --> 00:17:17,503
the daily sacrifices,
519
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,438
Antiochus erected a statue
520
00:17:19,505 --> 00:17:20,539
of Jupiter Olympus
521
00:17:20,606 --> 00:17:21,640
in the temple
522
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:22,674
and directed everyone
523
00:17:22,741 --> 00:17:24,109
to worship it.
524
00:17:24,176 --> 00:17:25,110
This abomination
525
00:17:25,177 --> 00:17:26,145
--also referred to
526
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:27,880
in chapter 8 of Daniel--
527
00:17:27,946 --> 00:17:29,448
is a type of a similar,
528
00:17:29,515 --> 00:17:31,083
end-time event.
529
00:17:31,150 --> 00:17:32,317
Notice also
530
00:17:32,384 --> 00:17:34,253
that the end-time sacrifices
531
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:36,922
are cut off 1,290 days
532
00:17:36,989 --> 00:17:38,824
before the return of Christ.
533
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:40,659
Daniel 12:11...
534
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,338
Jesus warns us Christians
535
00:17:53,405 --> 00:17:54,339
to be alert
536
00:17:54,406 --> 00:17:55,874
to an end-time abomination
537
00:17:55,941 --> 00:17:57,409
of desolation.
538
00:17:57,476 --> 00:17:59,077
Just as Antiochus Epiphanes
539
00:17:59,144 --> 00:18:00,078
profaned the Temple
540
00:18:00,145 --> 00:18:01,947
in 167 B.C.--
541
00:18:02,014 --> 00:18:03,982
and cut off the sacrifices--
542
00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:05,617
so will a profane authority
543
00:18:05,684 --> 00:18:07,319
cut off Jewish sacrifices
544
00:18:07,386 --> 00:18:08,620
in the future.
545
00:18:08,687 --> 00:18:09,621
In fact,
546
00:18:09,688 --> 00:18:10,656
the Apostle Paul warns
547
00:18:10,722 --> 00:18:12,090
of a great false prophet
548
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:13,091
who will stand
549
00:18:13,158 --> 00:18:14,259
in the holy place.
550
00:18:14,326 --> 00:18:15,260
Let's read that
551
00:18:15,327 --> 00:18:16,261
in 2 Thessalonians.
552
00:18:16,328 --> 00:18:19,832
2 Thessalonians 2:3,
553
00:18:19,898 --> 00:18:21,300
the Apostle Paul writes...
554
00:18:43,355 --> 00:18:45,090
Yes, a great false prophet
555
00:18:45,157 --> 00:18:46,792
will work great miracles
556
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:49,094
and deceive millions of people.
557
00:18:49,161 --> 00:18:50,362
He will cultivate worship
558
00:18:50,429 --> 00:18:51,363
toward himself
559
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:53,031
and claim he's divine.
560
00:18:53,098 --> 00:18:56,468
Revelation 13:13-14 shows
561
00:18:56,535 --> 00:18:58,403
that this great false prophet
562
00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:59,671
will even call down
563
00:18:59,738 --> 00:19:00,772
fire from heaven,
564
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:02,441
and will deceive millions
565
00:19:02,508 --> 00:19:04,576
of people around the world!
566
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:05,544
Again, my friends,
567
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:07,145
don't you be deceived by
568
00:19:07,212 --> 00:19:09,114
these signs and wonders!
569
00:19:09,181 --> 00:19:10,148
As it tells us
570
00:19:10,215 --> 00:19:12,084
in 1 Thessalonians 5:21...
571
00:19:17,222 --> 00:19:18,123
As we've seen,
572
00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:19,892
this end-time false prophet
573
00:19:19,958 --> 00:19:21,627
will cause the sacrifices
574
00:19:21,693 --> 00:19:22,861
to cease.
575
00:19:22,928 --> 00:19:24,730
Let's realize that the Jews
576
00:19:24,796 --> 00:19:25,731
have not offered
577
00:19:25,797 --> 00:19:27,666
animal sacrifices since 70 AD
578
00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:29,935
when the Romans destroyed
579
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:30,936
the Second Temple
580
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:32,404
in Jerusalem.
581
00:19:32,471 --> 00:19:33,705
In order for the end-time
582
00:19:33,772 --> 00:19:35,140
sacrifices to be stopped
583
00:19:35,207 --> 00:19:36,341
eventually,
584
00:19:36,408 --> 00:19:38,377
they need to begin.
585
00:19:38,443 --> 00:19:39,344
Listen,
586
00:19:39,411 --> 00:19:41,146
when animal sacrifices begin
587
00:19:41,213 --> 00:19:43,115
once again in Jerusalem,
588
00:19:43,181 --> 00:19:44,116
you will know
589
00:19:44,182 --> 00:19:45,851
that the prophecies
590
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:46,919
Jesus spoke about
591
00:19:46,985 --> 00:19:47,920
are heading for
592
00:19:47,986 --> 00:19:50,322
a grand-smash climax.
593
00:19:50,389 --> 00:19:51,757
Some believe that the Temple
594
00:19:51,823 --> 00:19:52,925
must first be rebuilt
595
00:19:52,991 --> 00:19:53,959
in order to conduct
596
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:55,994
animal sacrifices.
597
00:19:56,061 --> 00:19:57,062
Many Jews believe
598
00:19:57,129 --> 00:19:58,230
that only the Messiah
599
00:19:58,297 --> 00:19:59,231
will be able
600
00:19:59,298 --> 00:20:00,732
to rebuild the Temple.
601
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:01,733
However,
602
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,035
some Jewish groups are hoping
603
00:20:03,101 --> 00:20:04,403
to see today's Jewish people
604
00:20:04,469 --> 00:20:06,872
take the initiative themselves.
605
00:20:06,939 --> 00:20:08,407
They believe that there can be
606
00:20:08,473 --> 00:20:09,942
no peace in the Middle East
607
00:20:10,008 --> 00:20:12,110
until the Temple is rebuilt.
608
00:20:12,177 --> 00:20:13,779
Rabbi Chaim Richman,
609
00:20:13,845 --> 00:20:14,980
international director
610
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:16,048
of the Temple Institute,
611
00:20:16,114 --> 00:20:17,115
has said:
612
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:32,764
Yes, my friends,
613
00:20:32,831 --> 00:20:35,167
we need to understand
614
00:20:35,233 --> 00:20:36,902
one important point.
615
00:20:36,969 --> 00:20:38,203
An altar is needed
616
00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:39,404
for sacrifices,
617
00:20:39,471 --> 00:20:40,372
not necessarily
618
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:42,240
a full temple building.
619
00:20:42,307 --> 00:20:43,709
Just read the third chapter
620
00:20:43,775 --> 00:20:44,710
of Ezra.
621
00:20:44,776 --> 00:20:45,944
The returning exiles
622
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:47,012
from Babylon
623
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:48,380
had only a holy place,
624
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:49,681
not a temple.
625
00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:51,350
Ezra refers to the location
626
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:52,384
of the holy place,
627
00:20:52,451 --> 00:20:54,186
as "the house of God,"
628
00:20:54,252 --> 00:20:55,187
when the temple
629
00:20:55,253 --> 00:20:56,622
had not yet been built.
630
00:20:56,688 --> 00:20:57,789
Ezra 3:8...
631
00:21:03,395 --> 00:21:04,630
This was around 536 BC.
632
00:21:04,696 --> 00:21:09,468
But there was no building
633
00:21:09,534 --> 00:21:10,502
as yet.
634
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:12,270
The returning Jewish exiles
635
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:13,639
referred to the Holy Place
636
00:21:13,705 --> 00:21:16,174
as "the House of God,"
637
00:21:16,241 --> 00:21:18,877
even though no temple existed.
638
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:19,845
The holiest place
639
00:21:19,911 --> 00:21:20,846
under the control
640
00:21:20,912 --> 00:21:21,847
of the Jewish
641
00:21:21,913 --> 00:21:23,315
religious authorities today
642
00:21:23,382 --> 00:21:24,683
is the Western Wall,
643
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:26,151
or the "Wailing Wall."
644
00:21:26,218 --> 00:21:27,919
It is the western retaining wall
645
00:21:27,986 --> 00:21:29,588
to the Temple Mount.
646
00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:30,989
Jews are not allowed
647
00:21:31,056 --> 00:21:32,124
to publicly worship
648
00:21:32,190 --> 00:21:33,325
on the Temple Mount
649
00:21:33,392 --> 00:21:34,626
--only Muslims.
650
00:21:34,693 --> 00:21:36,528
So, it remains to be seen
651
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:37,496
where and when
652
00:21:37,562 --> 00:21:39,398
the Jews will begin sacrificing.
653
00:21:39,464 --> 00:21:41,033
It will probably take
654
00:21:41,099 --> 00:21:43,301
an unprecedented national crisis
655
00:21:43,368 --> 00:21:45,037
to precipitate that event.
656
00:21:45,103 --> 00:21:47,272
Prophetic Sign Number Four is:
657
00:21:51,576 --> 00:21:52,811
Our fifth prophetic sign
658
00:21:52,878 --> 00:21:54,746
comes from the prophet Daniel,
659
00:21:54,813 --> 00:21:56,048
who foretold that a King
660
00:21:56,114 --> 00:21:57,482
of the South will push
661
00:21:57,549 --> 00:21:59,017
against a King of the North
662
00:21:59,084 --> 00:22:00,018
shortly before
663
00:22:00,085 --> 00:22:01,720
Jesus Christ returns.
664
00:22:01,787 --> 00:22:02,754
We'll talk about that
665
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:03,789
in the final portion
666
00:22:03,855 --> 00:22:04,790
of our program.
667
00:22:04,856 --> 00:22:05,791
But first,
668
00:22:05,857 --> 00:22:07,092
I'd like to offer you

The Middle East in Prophecy.
671

Let me share with you
672
00:22:10,762 --> 00:22:12,030
a few of the sub-heads
673
00:22:12,097 --> 00:22:13,031
in the booklet:
674
00:22:13,098 --> 00:22:14,466
"Who Will Control Jerusalem?"
675
00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:15,534
"Watch for the Abomination
676
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,768
of Desolation;"
677
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:18,103
"The King of the North
678
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:19,905
Invades the Middle East;"
679
00:22:19,971 --> 00:22:21,073
"The Final Phases
680
00:22:21,139 --> 00:22:23,075
of World War III"...
681

We have so far examined

four prophetic signs
720
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:42,654
for the Middle East.
721
00:23:42,721 --> 00:23:44,790
Prophetic Sign Number One was:
722
00:23:49,194 --> 00:23:51,229
Prophetic Sign Number Two:
723
00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:57,302
Prophetic Sign Number Three:
724
00:24:01,373 --> 00:24:03,508
Prophetic Sign Number Four was:
725
00:24:07,646 --> 00:24:09,781
Prophetic Sign Number Five is:
726
00:24:15,086 --> 00:24:16,121
The European Union
727
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:17,122
is headquartered
728
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:18,690
in Brussels, Belgium.
729
00:24:18,757 --> 00:24:19,691
It is developing
730
00:24:19,758 --> 00:24:21,526
as a political, economic,
731
00:24:21,593 --> 00:24:23,161
and military entity,
732
00:24:23,228 --> 00:24:24,963
just like the King of the North
733
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:26,898
prophesied in your Bible.
734
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:27,933
Will it become that
735
00:24:27,999 --> 00:24:29,968
prophesied superpower?
736
00:24:30,035 --> 00:24:31,570
Already an economic peer
737
00:24:31,636 --> 00:24:33,004
of the United States,
738
00:24:33,071 --> 00:24:34,172
the EU is beginning
739
00:24:34,239 --> 00:24:35,240
to assert itself
740
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:37,475
as a military force independent
741
00:24:37,542 --> 00:24:38,476
of the U.S.,
742
00:24:38,543 --> 00:24:39,477
The administration
743
00:24:39,544 --> 00:24:40,478
of American President
744
00:24:40,545 --> 00:24:42,848
Donald Trump has expressed
745
00:24:42,914 --> 00:24:44,816
the hope that the EU
746
00:24:44,883 --> 00:24:45,851
will take on more
747
00:24:45,917 --> 00:24:47,786
of its own military spending
748
00:24:47,853 --> 00:24:49,087
that since World War II
749
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:51,022
has been subsidized heavily
750
00:24:51,089 --> 00:24:52,757
by the U.S.
751
00:24:52,824 --> 00:24:53,992
Reuters news agency
752
00:24:54,059 --> 00:24:55,193
reported the comments
753
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:56,561
of Richard Grenell
754
00:24:56,628 --> 00:24:58,730
--U.S. Ambassador to Germany--
755
00:24:58,797 --> 00:24:59,798
who said:
756
00:25:15,647 --> 00:25:16,581
My friends,
757
00:25:16,648 --> 00:25:18,250
we need to watch the military
758
00:25:18,316 --> 00:25:19,251
resurgence of Germany,
759
00:25:19,317 --> 00:25:20,252
along with
760
00:25:20,318 --> 00:25:21,286
the other prophetic signs.
761
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:22,287
As we near
762
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:23,255
the Great Tribulation,
763
00:25:23,321 --> 00:25:24,689
your Bible instructs us
764
00:25:24,756 --> 00:25:26,224
to watch key developments
765
00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:28,026
surrounding Jerusalem.
766
00:25:28,093 --> 00:25:29,361
Luke 21:19...
767
00:25:40,171 --> 00:25:42,240
Revelation 11:2 tells us
768
00:25:42,307 --> 00:25:43,241
that Jerusalem
769
00:25:43,308 --> 00:25:44,276
will be trodden-down
770
00:25:44,342 --> 00:25:45,277
by the Gentiles
771
00:25:45,343 --> 00:25:46,711
for forty-two months
772
00:25:46,778 --> 00:25:48,847
--about 3 and one-half years.
773
00:25:48,914 --> 00:25:50,382
At the end of that time
774
00:25:50,448 --> 00:25:51,917
--during the Day of the Lord--
775
00:25:51,983 --> 00:25:53,451
the armies of Europe and Asia
776
00:25:53,518 --> 00:25:54,886
will combine to bring about
777
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:56,021
the great climax
778
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:57,722
of World War III,
779
00:25:57,789 --> 00:25:59,724
referred to as "Armageddon."
780
00:25:59,791 --> 00:26:01,126
Yes, we need to watch
781
00:26:01,192 --> 00:26:02,694
for developments leading to
782
00:26:02,761 --> 00:26:04,629
an invasion of the Middle East
783
00:26:04,696 --> 00:26:06,431
from the powerful military King
784
00:26:06,498 --> 00:26:07,632
of the North.

in Daniel 11:40-41.

as the end-time.
797
00:26:27,452 --> 00:26:29,020
We need to be spiritually awake
798
00:26:29,087 --> 00:26:30,288
and watchful.
799
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:31,589
We need to be prepared
800
00:26:31,656 --> 00:26:33,658
for the Second Coming.
801
00:26:33,725 --> 00:26:34,893
Christ will be King
802

Thank God,
808
00:27:01,619 --> 00:27:03,822
His Kingdom is coming soon.
809
00:27:03,888 --> 00:27:05,623
