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

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
