welcome back to Fearless um trying to
understand the Middle East is
complicated there’s nothing simple about
it and due to all the details of not
understanding the significance and being
a half World Way most people have never
taken the time to learn about the
significance and how it affects us and
one of my goals here on Fearless is to
always make things as simple as possible
so that we can understand complex issues
and to be able to know why it’s
important and why we need to take a
stand and the word of God takes a new
life when a person can comprehend the
major events of Israel’s history once we
can understand and we can see how
religious cultural and politics you know
all this was set up in biblical times we
will begin to understand God’s plan for
mankind and many people have reached out
to me after last week’s episode asking
where they can get more information from
a source that they can trust on this
issue and Skip heac is a dear family
friend one of my dad’s best friends and
he’s one I’ve always gone to for hard
questions and he has the ability and the
gift to explain this in a simple way
that we can all understand and I’m
honored to have him here with us today
to talk about this more in detail of
what’s happening in Israel skip welcome
back to Fearless it’s great to be with
you this is a tough time to talk about
but I’m glad we’re together
again um skip as of this morning the
idea says there are 199 hostages in Gaza
now 28 communities are being told to
evacuate in Northern Israel because now
Hezbollah has gotten involved in
southern Lebanon when we talk about the
Bible we’ll get into that and ask you
some questions and here in the United
States the FBI warns of CopyCat attacks
and so there’s a lot there’s a lot to
unpack and I’ve asked you here to kind
of give us an Israel 101 with the short
time that we have but to understand all
of this we need to look at it through a
biblical worldview and Skip um before we
got started I told you that I sat in two
different churches the last two weekends
for different reasons and there wasn’t
even a mention of Israel from the
pulpit um and I’ve seen a lot of these
different young pastors talk about it or
not mention Israel on their social media
why they’re talking about other issues
in their life and it I’ve just been sad
I’ve been burdened for the church here
and especially in America to understand
all of this so why as a Believer should
I understand the history of this land
and the significance of what’s happening
today that’s a a great question and I
just want to help frame that again
whether a pastor mentions Israel or not
because of their stand on Israel or the
Palestinian issue or whatever their
eschatological Viewpoint is push that
aside just the fact that people have
been butchered babies have been beheaded
people have been burned Holocaust
Survivors have been tortured just that
that alone merits mention in prayer um
and then if you bring into it the
Biblical significance then it’s huge and
the church has to Pivot and be willing
to Pivot and to address the issue
because it’s on everyone’s mind so um to
just come to church and continue in the
series we’re continuing in without
mentioning that uh people in the Pew are
left kind of moreless and people are
looking for answers what does the Bible
have to say about this if anything and
what should I know and how should I be
prepared so you’re absolutely correct
and the thing about Israel is that’s how
God tells time that’s how God moves
through history um we’re given a
timetable in Daniel in the in the Book
of Daniel 70 weeks a 70 we prophecy 490
year prophetic calendar and God has kept
perfect time on that so far but
um God keeps Jewish time and God made a
covenant with David made a covenant with
Abraham Isaac Jacob but then to King
David that somebody would sit on his
throne and we worship a messiah who is
returning to occupy that Throne the
Throne of David when it comes to Israel
there’s a significant promise in the Old
Testament where God says uh if I can
break the Covenant with the sun and the
moon only then can I break the Covenant
with the people of Israel that I have
made so if the sun ceases to shine and
the moon ceases to shine only then will
my Covenant be broken so it’s it’s a
it’s a way of saying my Covenant with
them is permanent Eternal and not
dependent on their
faithfulness and you just touched on it
a a little bit but when we see arguments
about what’s happening in Israel on both
sides everybody says you know they think
this is a history of just 75
years but this is thousands of years
so you did very briefly but can you take
us through a quick Biblical history of
the existence of this piece of land sure
God promised in Genesis 12 to Abraham
that he would father a nation and that
the world would be blessed through that
Nation through you all the nations of
the Earth shall be blessed of course
ultimately that is the Messiah but the
receptacle through which the Messiah
came was a specific people group in a
specific Place God promised to Abraham
not just that he would have a lot of
kids and would bless the world but he
told Abraham that he would have a
specific piece of real estate um and and
that happens to be the borders of Israel
actually much bigger than the present
day borders but basically that area he
promised to to Abraham he made the
promise to Jacob or to Isaac uh not to
Esau but to Isaac he made it to Jacob uh
not to his brother so he made it to
Abraham Isaac Jacob and the 12 tribes we
know that the
uh sons of Jacob were displaced in Egypt
for 400 years God also predicted that he
said I’ll bring you out of that land to
your own land so the the the the people
of Israel
occupied a a a piece of real estate that
is part of the land Covenant that God
said he would give to them at an eternal
or Everlasting possession that’s the
words God use I’m giving this to you as
an everlasting inheritance and it’s an
everlasting Covenant and so um he did
that with Abraham Isaac Jacob 12 tribes
then he pinpointed it down to the
dynasty of King David and we have the
history in the Bible of the kings of the
northern kingdom and the southern
Kingdom But ultimately God promised that
one would sit on the throne of David and
Rule eternally that’s why the disciples
when Jesus came expected in a Messianic
Kingdom and that’s why even when Jesus
rose from the dead uh they said will you
at this time restore the kingdom to
Israel because they all understood as
little Jewish boys being raised in
Galilee and now as adults that sometime
a messiah is going to come and Rule and
Reign from this land from this city of
Jerusalem that has been their hope it is
still their hope and it happens to now
be the Christian hope because we have
been grafted in to that that great
system that great Olive Tree as Paul the
Apostle said in the New Testament
everything we have including scripture
Messiah promises are all part of the
Jewish gift that God gave to the world
and with this Covenant he he promised
land in lineage and to this day we see
both of those the the Jewish people
being attacked in this land so Central
of the world’s Focus right now who who
are the Palestinians I think a lot of
people have that question and what is
the history of the Palestinians in the
land of Israel first of all the term
Palestine is an important term the term
Palestine was a term coined not by the
Jews but by the Romans um after the fall
of the temple and the desecration of the
city of Jerusalem there was a Roman
emperor that gave the name Alia
capitalina to the city of Jerusalem and
polluted the city with false idol
and change the name of Israel to
Palestine actually or philistia the land
of the Philistines because the
Philistines were the primary ancient
enemy of Israel so he he wanted to snub
the Jews by saying their land is now
Palestine so that’s where it comes from
there is no recognized Palestinian
Nation um or people these are Arab
peoples who feel they have been
displaced and and um ever since
1948 have mounted several attacks along
with Arab Nations that surround Israel
to displace the Jews from the land the
idea that there is a Jewish presence in
the Middle East at all is abhorent to
them it’s not that they just want
self-governance and Israel is occupying
the land that’s a that’s a falsity um
Israel has not occupied Gaza since 2005
they pulled out they gave it all to them
Ariel Chiron the former prime minister
gave Gaza to the Palestinians to
self-govern and they kind of pulled out
and ever since then they’ve had problems
Israel has had problems with them but um
they do not want any Jews at all in the
land it’s not like well we want a
two-state solution they don’t they want
a one-state solution it’s their state
and they want Israel completely
annihilated yeah there’s no negotiation
after October 7th um the world had
Clarity of who Hamas was um and we saw
that evil has no limit it has been hard
for me to turn off the TV it’s been hard
for me to turn off the social media um
especially I have young children I have
a 10-month old baby who last night I was
putting to bed and I just couldn’t
imagine waking up the next morning and
it being a blood bath in her crib but we
saw that evil has no limit and a quote
from one of the commanders of Hamas said
we love death as much as Jews love life
so who is Hamas and what are their core
beliefs which you just kind of touched
on but let’s go deeper what are their
core beliefs um and what does that mean
for Israel but also for the world their
core
belief is that Allah has given them the
land and Jews should be eradicated you
mentioned no negotiation uh back after
1967 uh the Arabs got together in carum
and they came up with a three nose no
recognition no recognition of the land
of Israel will never recognize you as a
as a sovereign state um no peace and no
negotiation so realize you’re dealing
with the people who are basically saying
we will never sit down here’s a quote
from m is from their own Charter in
Article 13 there is no solution for the
Palestinian question except through
Jihad initiatives proposals and
international conferences are all a
waste of time and vain Endeavors so when
they say no negotiation realize what
that means it means we will kill you and
then we’ll be satisfied when you are
eradicated we will be satisfied until
then we will not have a negotiation with
you that’s basically who they are yeah
you just mentioned and that’s kind of
known as the three NOS no peace no
negotiation no recognition of Israel
which is also you know since 1948
Israel’s continued to be attacked they
continue to win these small battles I
say small they’re not small but small
comparative to what we’re facing right
now um when we when the Prime Minister
declared war but even after’s loss in
some of these battles they still don’t
want to negot neate and Cory goes when
you’re a loser you don’t get to not
negotiate at the table um but they don’t
even want to recognize it why um why do
you think Hamas attacked now that’s a
good question they obviously had some
intelligent
system uh Israel interestingly still
ironically was the one caught off guard
which is typically never the case in
that region so I I don’t know what they
did or caused that is the big that’s a
million-dollar question that’s what
everybody’s trying to figure out both in
the United States and in Israel how did
this slipped through our purview but it
did uh they have a desire Hamas isn’t
acting alone even though Iran just today
said well they’re on their kind of on
their own we’re not going to you know
they’re hedging their bet but we all
know every Diplomat knows that Hamas is
part of a um a
strategic uh areawide Coalition that
includes Hezbollah the AL AXA martyr
Brigade and a host of other
organizations some considered moderate
you and I would not consider moderate
but uh and others considered very
radical Hamas included who want the
extermination of Israel but they work in
their proxy uh groups for a a country
Iran Iran has stated over and over and
over again
that they want the elimination of the
state of Israel that that Israel is the
little Satan America is the great Satan
so they don’t like the West obviously
but they really hate Israel and the
reason there have been historic
preemptive strikes against Iran and
their nuclear facilities is because
Israel then had intelligence of those
things going on the reason Israel struck
Syrian U runways to dismantle their cap
capabilities is because Iran is flying
weapons North of Israel and trying to
get them and has outfitted them south of
Israel and Gaza to attack Israel so why
they did it now I don’t exactly know
it’s some coordinated effort with Iran
do you think Iran’s wanting to do that
now because there has been peace I mean
there’s been some treaties that people
probably never thought were possible and
Iran wants to disrupt that cuz no no
question yeah no question the Abraham
Accords were a great Triumph of our last
president president Trump and he brought
these nations together and now Israel
has been talking about peace with Saudi
Arabia Saudi Arabia is an enemy of Iran
Iran hates Saudi Arabia you have Sunni
and Shia Muslims split IDE ideological
split and uh the idea that you would
have peace between Israel and Saudi
Arabia which houses the holy uh um at
Mecca and Medina the holy sites of Islam
the fact that you would have peace with
those two Nations and leave Iran out or
more than that leave the Palestinian out
of the question and not demand that
Israel have some kind of land agreement
with the Palestinians uh they wanted to
was abhorent to them so this was to
disrupt that no doubt and of course now
um people are learning more about
Hezbollah that’s they’ve been in
southern Lebanon for a long time but now
they’ve been attacking Northern Israel
do they have the same motives do they
all believe the same things they’re just
under different names when it comes to
Israel yeah yeah they do I mean they
have slightly different Charters and
they have different senior leadership
but they’re both proxies of Iran
Hezbollah has is a disperate group that
has moved into Lebanon and effectively
ruined Lebanon Lebanon was such a
beautiful country and Hezbollah has um
has has ruined it and is basically
holding that country hostage and using
Lebanon to Stage attacks not just
Lebanon but Syria as well stage attacks
against Israel they have they’ve done
this since the you know 50s and 60s
they’ve been lobbing missiles down into
Israel into Galilee you know of course
we have compassion and we’re praying for
the innocent lives that are in
Gaza um but what has life been like for
Palestinians living under the Hamas rule
uh what kind of and then what kind of
services does Israel provide to
Residents in God in the West Bank well
that’s a very interesting question and
it’s a good one for this reason a lot of
Aid including American Aid dollars have
gone into Gaza to help the gazan
citizens over the years and other
countries so there has been a cash flow
to that Nation uh it’s a very densely
populated strip of land probably the
most Den L populated in the world um
their infrastructure is not good there’s
an aquifer of water underneath uh so
they have natural resources but it has
become polluted because it’s been
mismanaged so all the dollars that go in
to help uh are taken not all of them but
a lot of them most of them and used to
form weapons so they boasted recently I
saw a video where uh they took took
water pipes and made missiles out of
them to launch into Israel well why are
you taking water pipes that could be
used to give water to your people and
clean water to your people and use them
to uh launch attacks against the enemy
why are you taking the money that could
be used to provide cement to build
buildings and give suitable structures
and public spaces to your people and why
are you using them to build tunnels
underneath cities for terrorist purposes
so they have mismanaged
uh that region and used it as a base of
Terror
operations there’s a quote from go Mayer
she was the fourth prime minister of
Israel and the first and only female
head of government in the Middle East
and she has said when peace comes we
will perhaps in time be able to forgive
the Arabs for killing our
sons but it will be harder for us to
forgive them for having forced us to
kill their sons peace will come when
Arabs will love their children more than
they hate us and how does her quote show
the
reality of what some Arab children are
growing up when yeah that’s such a great
quote and she knew back then that’s 19
like 1970s 73 she was still the Prime
Minister the fourth prime minister of
Israel uh golden Mayer knew what she was
up against that they were willing to
kill anybody to achieve an objective and
that if they didn’t die they would be
training children and grandchildren and
subsequent generations to take up Jihad
to kill as many Jews as possible so she
knew that she’s up against an enemy
that’s unlike any other enemy usually
enemies do negotiate when they’re backed
into a corner um I think what we need to
do to look at this situation and to help
frame what golden Myer said about this
situation is go back to to um the mid
centuries of um U the medieval times and
Beyond when the Arabs promised that they
would take over
Constantinople Constantinople was the
center of the Western World at the time
and was becoming at that time the center
of Christianity it was shifting from
Rome to Constantinople but they promised
that they would take it over and nobody
took them seriously and they said even
if we don’t in this generation and you
can kill us you can kill our children
you can kill our grandchildren but
eventually we are going to take you over
that was their promise they did it it’s
now called Istanbul and history shows
the bloody wars in that region their
determination to annihilate people for
their own cause to dominate and that’s
why they took Hagia Sophia that great
church and made it a moth they didn’t
just build a mosque next to it they
wanted to show the world we are
dominating Christianity we are
dominating the Jews so this is a radical
wing of Islam it’s really Islam at its
roots um it is not a moderate Islam and
you might say well that’s just a few
radicals listen if you look at how many
Muslims are in the world a few radical
happens to be millions and millions of
them when you have millions of people
thinking like this you had 20 people
slam into buildings on 9/11 look at the
Carnage they created you had a group of
Hamas terrorists last week wreck havoc
on Southern Israel and now this look
what a few radicals can do there’s
millions of them and what what frightens
me is we have a border that is insecure
and we have tens of thousands of
military AED men many of them from the
Middle East unaccounted for we don’t
know where they are we don’t know who
they are but they’re here
here yeah and you say that it’s I look
at the images that it came out of London
this past weekend where 50,000 people
were protesting uh for Palestine but
we’ve been so careful in the last couple
weeks to make sure we’re careful saying
these attacks were from Hamas and they
were behind the attacks and not
Palestine we’re being very careful with
those words um but over the last week
this is something I I’m personally
struggling with that I know other people
are struggling with because when we see
these Pro Palestinian rallies happening
all across the world in the world’s
major cities uh they just had on the
news this morning in Germany they are
warning Jewish people to be careful not
to wear Jewish emblems I’m wearing my
Star of David Cross uh to hide their
faith is what they were telling them in
Germany in my lifetime as a millennial I
never thought I would see this kind of
just hate because what we’ve this is my
question is getting to is they’ve had
these Pro Palestinian rallies all around
the world 50,000 in London uh Even in
our country but none of them have
denounced the
attacks none of them have denounced the
attacks The Horde attacks that happened
on October 7th so do all Palestinians
support Hamas and does Hamas support all
Palestinians a better way to look at it
is all
Palestinians support Palestine and um
most of them support the ideology that
Israel has been the oppressor
and that the Palestinians have been the
victims that is the narrative that keeps
being reinforced that’s the narrative
that they teach their children and many
Palestinians in Gaza in the West Bank
are being taught to grow up and kill
Jews it’s a noble thing to do little
kids I’ve seen videos of little children
five six seven-year-old children saying
their greatest ambition is to is to kill
Jewish people and it it is it’s it’s
bone Shilling to hear it so to answer
your question the majority of
Palestinians support freeing Palestine
that’s what they’re chanting they say
free Palestine well free them of what
what does that mean to free Palestine
the ideology of Hamas of hisbah of alaxa
martyr’s Brigade of fata of all these
people that are controlling the
Palestinians it means this free
Palestine of the Jews once you take the
Jews out of Palestine you free
Palestine um I I’m half tempted to get a
t-shirt that says free Palestine of
Hamas that’s the problem that will free
that’s why there’s an incursion right
now um because um if you go back a
little bit ever since Hamas has been in
Gaza entrenched in Gaza they have hidden
behind human Shields we know this the
world knows this this is not new news
this is not some radical ideology this
is what they do we know that they hide
behind hospitals children children’s
homes
schools and that was the Dilemma that
they were faced with way back when you
know a few years ago do we bomb the site
and take out the terrorist if we do
we’re going to hurt innocent people so
they decided not to in deciding not to
it allowed Hamas to grow
stronger and it allowed them to
perpetrate what we saw a week ago when
we do look at these protests a lot of
them are happening on our University um
institutions why why do you think we’re
seeing so many educational institutions
uh Young American adults uh some many in
the young churches um supporting the
Palestinian cause and not standing with
Israel well my first reaction was to say
cuz young people are dumb but I don’t
want to say that um because not all of
them are and they’re going to school to
get smart but at the same time they’re
at an age I remember being at that age
you look for a cause and you look for a
cause that is popular in your age group
and it’s um the peer pressure at that
age group is enormous and there’s a
narrative for every age group on a
college campus to follow and when you
break ranks with that you will incur the
Wrath of that if you have a conservative
speaker speak at a college they will get
shut down you can have a a a left-wing a
pro Palestinian a pro- anything that
fits the narrative so it’s it it’s sort
of a generational
ideological philosophy dour that happens
and a lot of them don’t think through or
read the other side to get fully
informed they get informed by Friends by
tweets by social media things and
um they’re just uninformed well not all
Young Generation are dumb I was sitting
there with my seven-year-old son today
on the new and he was sitting on the
couch as he was getting dressed for
school and we had the news on and they
were talking about the number of
hostages
rising and he said how will they be able
to get them back he goes if they’re
hiding them and they go in they could be
killed
and he said Israel can’t win it’s a lose
lose and that was coming from my
seven-year-old son and I just man I said
Austin you’re right I said you’re a very
smart boy and I said and that’s what the
enemy wants they want Israel to look bad
so I say that with man my seven-year-old
was very smart on the couch today when
he had that Revelation babes yeah um but
man we Face evil and darkness but as
Christians we have hope yes and that’s
what we need and back in April I was
visiting your church um and you’re in
the middle of the series called is the
end near and actually I was there on the
day you were speaking or teaching on
Ezekiel
38-39 can you unpack this for us because
if Iran gets
involved the chest pieces are aligning
right um how might any of this uh fit
into Bible prophecy um biblical prophecy
about the end times that’s a good
question so Ezekiel 3839 predict a war
that is coming against Israel by a
coalition of Nations they’re given in
Ezekiel their ancient names but the
modern counterpart names would be Russia
Iran ancient Persia turkey and Islamic
states of the upper Nile region a group
of Nations gathered together against
Israel um at some point in the future uh
we have never historically seen that
Coalition but we are now starting to see
that Coalition come together um we have
known that Russia and tur um Iran have
uh exchanged assets there’s hundreds of
scientists from Russia working in Iran
in the nuclear program in Iran we know
that turkey and Russia have signed
anti-ballistic missile deals so there
are um there’s a compatibility that is
forming between the leader of Russia
Iran turkey and some of these other
places what’s also interesting to note
is that you have Iran that is funding
Hamas but the Hamas Fighters themselves
the terrorists were trained by the
Vagner group who are Russian soldiers
the Russian soldiers went there and
trained them how to fight how to how to
conduct that kind of grizzly Warfare so
um yeah we’re starting to see an
alignment a coalition of these things
come together the Bible’s 26% prophecy
uh many people have a hard time
understanding it it’s confusing um it’s
difficult to read so they don’t study it
but why does God give us prophecy and
why is it important for us to
study God gives us prophecy to
validate his character his personality
um what Jesus said to his disciples he
said I’m telling you these things in
advance
so that when they come to pass you’ll
know that I have spoken them so how can
you
differentiate um what the Bible says as
the word of God versus what the Quran
says or what the Bhagavad Gita says or
any of the other holy books of the world
well one of the great validations is
prophecy when you have something
predicted hundreds thousands of years
before it happens in great detail the
more details you add to that prediction
the Slimmer the chances of that
prediction coming true but when it does
come true it gives the um Observer the
opportunity to go wow that’s evidence
that’s proof this book is different than
any other book this God is different
than any other God and um God graciously
has done that he has revealed not
everything but certain things I love
that quote in Deuteronomy where it says
um the secret things belong to the Lord
Our God but the things that he has
revealed belong to us and our children
forever
and I’ve also learned from you because
Corey and I we watch many of your series
all the way from afar you’re in alberque
and I’m here in Florida but that the
Bible prophecy is to get us ready you
know that we as Christians it is to get
us ready that we’re not surprised when
these things happen that our feet are
solid we know that God is at work but
what is God’s end goal when we look at
what’s happening in Jerusalem and
Israel and the evil that we’re facing
what’s his end goal his end goal first
of all is to give he is not willing that
any should perish but that all should
come to repentance so he wants people
saved and he wants his church active in
evangelism toward that end but his
ultimate goal on Earth is to send his
son a second time to rule and to Reign
uh he has sent his son the first time to
deal with sin and then the second time
he will come back again to rule and
reign with those who have been cleansed
of sin so um his ultimate goal in the
Middle East if that’s what you’re asking
and in the world is to rule and Reign
Over this world but in the meantime
bringing as many people to Salvation as
possible and you know for all of us that
have been watching our news on our
social media it can be very daunting it
can be emotional and we need to turn it
off sometimes yeah and get and spend
time with the Lord and just spend time
praying and as Christians what should we
be focused on in these days and what
should our prayers be well we’re told in
Psalm 122 pray for the Peace of
Jerusalem May they Prosper who love thee
so first we should be praying for the
land that God made a covenant with but
also there are other people in the
region that they don’t want this they
have been brainwashed uh pray for them
pray for their salvation there are
Christian missionaries that have been in
Gaza who have been trying to share the
gospel many of the Muslims who’ve
converted to Christianity are sharing
the gospel pray for them pray for
courage for them during this time they
may be hostages they may be facing death
um pray that they will um be faithful to
the end and uh pray that that through
this horrible time that some of the
people caught in the crossfire of these
radical ideologies will come to meet the
God who loves them and wants to save
them that’s possible and it’s happened
we get uh reports of what’s happening in
Iran many people have come to Christ in
Iran uh in the last several years so I’m
praying that that this that will happen
because of this as we get ready to close
this past week when you were speaking to
your church on this issue you told them
that the church they needed to raise the
bar what did you mean by that we know
that things are going to happen uh that
the world’s going to get darker and
darker it’s going to get worse and worse
uh you can’t read Revelation without
going to going to get pretty dim
especially as we get to the end and
especially as the birth pangs you know
this um contraction of muscle and then
releasing and then another contraction
and we’re experiencing a contraction
right now so we know the birth pings are
coming but when I say raise the bar it’s
like let these things be a wakeup call
to you just like September 11th was a
wakeup call that lasted for a while not
long but it was a wakeup call
um for some Co was a wakeup call I’ve
gotten letters from people who said it
just snapped me back into I got to get
right with the Lord and serve him
wholeheartedly let this be one of those
moments let this be a crystallizing
moment you know a lot of people have
come to me this week and they said you
know when the war broke out this week in
Israel I know I don’t know a lot about
prophecy but I know you’ve talked about
Israel and Revelation and I think we’re
in that time and they they say I need to
get right with the Lord I need to I need
to I need to raise the bar so you’re
saved for a purpose find out what that
purpose is and um

god of history history is as we often
say his story your story Lord you are
through the chess pieces on the board
giving free will volition to people on
Earth but at the same time you are
overruling the entire set of events to
bring it to one culminating event in the
return of your son father we um we Echo
the words of the New Testament even so
