End Times and The Coming World Ruler Pt. 4

In this powerful continuation of our end-times series, we confront a critical danger facing believers today—being tossed to and fro by the waves of global events, political movements, and geopolitical tensions, mistaking them for the ultimate move of God. While Scripture calls us to be aware of the times, it also warns us not to be carried away by every headline, narrative, or rising power. This message anchors us back in a vital truth: our allegiance is not to earthly systems, governments, or nations—but to Jesus Christ and His eternal Kingdom.

The Bible reminds us that the kingdoms of this world are temporary—but the Kingdom of God is unshakable. When believers begin to place their hope, fear, or identity in earthly movements, they lose sight of the higher authority they are called to submit to. Above all, remain submitted to Christ—His authority, His truth, and His government.

Let's start at chapter 13. Luke chapter 13. And let's read from verse 1. We're going to jump around in Luke a little bit. So we'll start at 13.1. Are you there? On the slides, you can move the chapter 6, but we're going to be reading from Luke 13.1. Luke 13.1 says, There were present at that season some that told Jesus of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. So what happened here, Josephus wrote about that a group of Galileans were killed at that time by Pilate. And Jesus answered and said to them, Suppose you that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans because they suffered such things. So Josephus, the historian, talked about a group of Galileans that were slaughtered by Pilate. And Jesus referenced this event, and he says, Do you think that this happened to them? Because these are these were the worst of the Galileans. These were sinners above all sinners. And he said to them, in verse 3, I tell you, nay. But except you repent, you shall also likewise perish. Or those 18 upon whom the tower of Saloom fell. So there was a tower that fell called the Tower of Siloam and it collapsed. I recently saw something like this happen here in the States somewhere. Same situation happened here. So this was, you know, the headlines of the news during his time. So Jesus was preaching off of the news headlines. And he says, About what about those 18 people who die when the Tower of Salom fell and it slew them? Think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? Jesus is dealing with you know these types of things. When somebody gets in an airplane accident or a car accident, or we hear of Iraq or some kind of mass tragedy, we think like, oh, well, it must have been God's judgment. Was it God's judgment because they were sinners? Were they really bad? Were they wicked? Is God judging them? Or, you know, war going on in other countries? You know, are those people being killed because they're bad? Are they dying because they're bad? Uh, are these casualties, these children or these women or you know, girls in the school that got bombed, or is it because they're sinners? Jesus is saying, No, these people, these tragedies don't happen. People don't die just because they're worse than other people. He says, but you're also going to perish. And he spoke to them a parable. And he said in the parable in verse 6, a certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. Now, whenever the uh the Bible talks about a fig tree, the Bible is talking about Israel. So he's talking, he's he's speaking about Israel. So he says here that a certain man had a fig tree and planted it in his vineyard, and he came and he sought fruit thereon and found none. And then he said unto the dresser of the vineyard, Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Cut it down. Why cumbereth it to the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also till I shall dig about it and dung it. For if it bear fruit, well, if not, then after that we shall cut it down. Jesus was speaking about the vineyard being Israel, and he was speaking of his ministry. He was with them for three years preaching. And if they bear fruit, he said, Fine, but if not, it will be cut down. You go down to verse 34, and he says, O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem. So this chapter he's speaking about Israel. And he says, Oh Jerusalem, O Jerusalem, which killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee. How often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen doth gather her broods under her wings, and you would not. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate, and verily I say unto you, You shall not see me until the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. He was speaking to them about their destruction that was going to come. His return and his three years of ministry was a chance for them to catch on and repent. It was their last chance. And shortly after that, in 70 AD, it was torn down and destroyed, and the people were scattered around the world. Amen. Amen. Now let's look at Luke chapter 12. Luke chapter 12. And I'm gonna look at a verse that I think is very shocking. Amen. Luke chapter 12 and verse 49. Jesus said, I am come to send fire on the earth. And what will if it already be kindled? So Jesus said he's come to bring fire to the earth. And it's already kindled. He said, I have a baptism to be baptized with. In other words, he has to go through a baptism, he has to go through a baptism of torture and persecution. And I am straightened or I am stressed or overwhelmed until it be accomplished. Suppose you said that I am come to give peace on earth. I tell you, nay, but rather division. The Jews were expecting Jesus to come and bring peace on earth to establish his kingdom and bring world peace and harmony. Jesus said, I've come to bring fire. He said, I didn't come to bring peace, I came to bring division. He says, The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Jesus came to bring division. And if you think about this in the context of those that chose to follow Jesus, it didn't bring peace and world harmony to their life. As a matter of fact, your whole world is your family. Things going wrong in your family, you feel like the world's falling apart, right? There's a problem in your household, you feel like your world's falling apart. There's a problem in our family, it feels like the whole world's falling apart because people's world consists of their family. That's that they feel like that's the whole world. Their parents, their mother, their daughters, their kids, their spouse. That's their world. Amen. And when there's a problem in the family, it feels like their world is falling apart. And Jesus came and he said, I didn't come to bring peace, I came to bring division in the family, to bring a fire in your house. Think about all the disciples and the apostles and those that followed Jesus. They were Jews, very strict Jews. If you want to relate it to something, imagine if you were a Muslim, if you were Arabic living in Houston, and you were Pakistani or Muslim, and your mother's Muslim, your brother's Muslim, your husband's Muslim, your wife is Muslim, your kids are Muslim, and now you encountered the gospel of Jesus Christ, for you to get saved and give your life to Jesus is gonna bring a fire in your house. You're gonna be disowned or beaten by your spouse, maybe beaten and kicked out. Sometimes they're killed here in America. There's many times Muslims are killed for converting to Christianity. They kill their daughters, they kill their wives for converting to Christianity. Usually the guys don't get killed, but you know, but you know, the the the weaker are killed. The son who says, I'm gonna be a Christian, is divided against his parents, his friends, his classmates, his church mates. Everyone that's ever been a friend in their life now becomes an enemy. That's what the apostles went through. Paul lost his wife and his kids for accepting Jesus. So Jesus said, Don't think that I've come to make your world beautiful. He said, I came to bring a fire, I come to bring a division. Amen. Think about that. My world is at peace, in harmony, when everyone in my family is good and getting along. Amen. But imagine if Asha comes to me one day and says, Oh, I want to be a Jew, or I want to be a Muslim, or I'm joining the Jehovah's Witnesses or something, some cult, whatever. I want to be a Satan worshiper, right? Or something. That would cause our world would be turned upside down. We wouldn't have sleepless nights, we'd be stressed out, we'd be fighting with him. This is this is the type of contrast. You're gonna believe in me and accept me. You're gonna be against your mother, against your father, against your siblings, you're getting mother-in-law, against daughter-in-law. He said, I come to bring a division, I come to bring a fire in the earth. And this fire of division was so great that for centuries nations have been at war. People have been died and killed over following God, following Christ. So when we choose Jesus and to live for Jesus, oftentimes it will bring conflict into our entire world. Because you have to remember, you your world consists of your family. When something's wrong in your family, it feels like the whole world is falling apart. You know, but Jesus said, I didn't come to bring peace, I come to bring a fire, I come to bring a division, I come to bring a sword that husband would be against wife, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister. He even threw in the in-laws, amen. For choosing Jesus. They couldn't make that change. And Jesus went in 13 and said, You're gonna be destroyed just like them. And then he talked about how he wept over Jerusalem and said he desires to brood over them as a as a as a hen would over their their their chickens, and he would wanted to bring them together and gather them as a hen does gather her brood, but they killed the prophets, and they killed him, and they were destroyed. 70 AD one's not one stone was left upon another. And those that followed Jesus, think about it. We have a Syrian church that's 2,000 years old, Ethiopian church is 2,000 years old. We have the Greek Orthodox church that's 2,000 years old, we have Indians that have been Christians for 2,000 years since Christ in India from St. Thomas, we have Italians that have been Christians for 2,000 years since Jesus. But what Jewish church do you know that has any synagogue, Christian synagogue, messianic synagogue that's 2,000 years old? What happened to the Jews that follow Jesus? What happened was the few that after all the persecution, the few that stood with it, changed their names throughout history, took on Western names, blended with the Western people, and they were forever ostracized from the Jewish community. And so you have people like my family name is Castillo. Castillo, there's some Jews in my bloodline, but they adopted the uh uh the name Castillo or Castillo as they assimilated with the Christians and married into the into the Spanish culture, married Spanish and they were Spaniards, and then eventually some of them came to Latin America and they married into them and they're they're they're you know Catholics pretty much. Castillos are Catholics, which were originally Jews, but they basically just got watered down, watered down, watered down. You don't have any group of Jewish, there's no Jewish Christian church that have been around 2,000 years, like the Ethiopian Christian Church, the Syrian Christian Church, the Coptic Christian Church, the Greek Christian Church, the Italian, the Roman Catholic Church. They've been these races have been Christians for thousands of years. We can't point to the Jews because it was a fire that was set in their house when they believed. They lost their spouses, their families, their parents, those that did follow him. They lost everything. So the call to come to Jesus and to serve Jesus is not, it's not always a call to a happier, better life. Amen. Sometimes it's a call to fighting and persecution, rejection, division, obscurity. But will you pay the price? Is the question. Maybe it's easy for us in the West that have grown up in a Christian background mostly, but it's not easy for everybody, especially modern Jews, modern Muslims, so forth. And unfortunately, we even have it if you're a Catholic or you're a Jehovah's Witness or you're a Mormon and you leave, you suffer the same type of consequence being rejected by your family, disowned, kicked out, so forth. Amen. But Israel killed Jesus, killed all the prophets, and so Jesus said here that you will do this to me. You will be cut down like a tree that has bare not fruit, and you will be cast down, cut down and cast down, and so was Israel until 1948. So for 2,000 years till 1948, Israel was cut down and cast off. And now we see, as the Bible has prophesied, the gathering together of national Israel in 1948, they officially became a nation again. Did this mean that they became a nation in God's graces that were serving God and honoring the Messiah that God sent them? No. It became a secular state, not a religious state, but a secular state. And a secular state that is using the Bible and scriptures and standing on prophecies of God bringing them back together as their purpose and their divine justification for establishing a secular state. Now it's kind of interesting because if, for example, you were prophesied, someone prophesies to you that you're going to become a famous singer, right? And you're not serving God, you're just living in the world, but you're going out for auditions, you're creating demos, you're trying to fulfill those prophecies, but you're not trying to do it in God. Does that make sense? So now you become successful and you become a successful singer, but you're not serving God. You're maybe antichrist doing satanic stuff, Illuminati, whatever. You're hanging out with Beyoncé and Jay-Z and Diddy parties, and you're like, well, God, you know, God's promised me, you know, God said it, you know. And so now you think that you are fulfilling God's will, God's chosen vessel to be in the Illuminati, whatever, but you're nothing that it's nothing to do with God. You're doing it totally on your own, right? And so that's how we have Israel trying to fulfill prophecies, but while not only rejecting Christ, but even the secular state and the political leaders, even rejecting the commandments in the Torah. And so we have now this secular state in Israel that is pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, pro-everything against God's word. But they say we're God's chosen people, the same chosen people that killed the prophets, the same chosen people that stoned, the same chosen people that Jesus fought and strove against, enemies of God's plan. So, where does this fall now? Let's take a look at the Antichrist because we've been taught in the church my whole life, and for thousands of years, or hundreds of years, I should say, sorry, we've been taught that the Antichrist will come to power in the last days, and he will attack Israel, and God will save Israel from the Antichrist. But what I'd like to submit to you today is that the Antichrist is from Israel. He's from Mount Hermon, he's from the tribe of Dan. He is a Jew, at least in part, maybe an Assyrian Jew, as we see through prophecy. But Israel, I submit to you today and to those watching and listening online. I submit to you that Israel is the point of the spear, the tip of the spear. But if so, that puts us in a conundrum because Christians like myself, we love Israel. Why do we love Israel? Well, we love Israel because we find our life in the pages of Jerusalem in Judea and Galilee. We find our salvation in the mountains and in the hills of Jerusalem on the on the on Galgatha. We find our our faith comes from the you know the Sea of Galilee and the Red Sea and everything that we are spiritually comes from this neighborhood of the world. So of course we have a love and an affection and an affinity towards it. So do Muslims. Muslims love Israel because they believe Abraham and Moses and all of their prophets, they tie back to the Holy Land. So there is a love for Israel. Muslims and Jews have fought for thousands of years over the Holy Land. The Jews conquered Jerusalem, then the Christians conquered Jerusalem, and then the not the Jews, the Jews were kicked out, but the Muslims and the Christians and the Muslims were kicked out. They're fighting over this land because they all love this land. We love this land. But to make a divorce between our affection for the land and our acknowledgement of the antichrist kingdom and rule is somewhat painstaking for Christians. There are groups, Christians United for Israel. There are groups, you know, that we in our circle that have prayer every week. They're praying for Israel. They're praying for the secular state of Israel. And they're not just praying for their salvation, but they're praying for their prosperity and their success and their endeavors. And their endeavors is the promotion of homosexuality, the promotion of abortion, the promotion of war, genocide, conquering other countries that are nearby, creating what Netanyahu has said to be. So if we begin to look at prophecy, and we're going to look here in a second, we're going to begin to see quite clearly, maybe for the first time, many Christians and most Christians at this point in my sermon, they would think it's heretical. They would think I've been brainwashed by Al-Qaeda. They would think that this is demonic. But if you just look at the Bible and you consider everything you've been taught, I was actually even talking to AI about this. And AI said, Wow, you bring up a good point. Because AI was giving me the Christian theology. Yes, the Antichrist will attack Israel. Yes, the Antichrist is going to come against Israel, and God's going to save them. And yeah, and this is what, you know, for hundreds of years of church doctrine. But I told the Antichrist, I said, no, Israel is his kingdom. That's his throne. This is what the Bible says. And it says, well, you brought up a really interesting point. He says, according to scriptures, you are right, which is opposite of theology, schools, and seminaries for the last couple hundred years. But it's very clear. Amen. He sets up his throne in Israel. These countries where the antichrist comes from are the Western countries. Those who oppose the Antichrist, we're going to look at this, are the Arab nations, along with the Asian nations, quite possibly uh China. So we're going to look at this, but let me say this: whether you are for the Antichrist in this system, the one world government, the one world religion, the denial of God and the denouncing of Christianity, and the denial of God and embracing a secular, perverse life, or you're with the Muslims, or you're with the Chinese. Are you on which one is God's side? Because we have been thought and taught to believe in the West that if you're for the West, you're on God's side, you're on the good guy's side, and the Muslims are the bad guys, the Chinese are the bad guys. Well, I submit to you that they're all the bad guys. The West and the East, the left and the right. They're all the bad guys. Amen. And we're going to look at this in the Bible. That's why our allegiance is to Christ and His kingdom and His principles. Amen. Let's look at Revelation 13.7. Revelation 13.7 says, you want to turn there in your Bibles, or you want me to just read an excerpt from it? What do you guys prefer? Okay, we can read there. Let's go to Revelation 13, 7. I'm stretching people's theological boundaries today. Maybe not yours, but almost everybody else. Amen. Amen. 13 7 says this. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints. This is this is the Antichrist. Now the saints are not the Jews, these are God's people, okay? And to overcome them, and power was given over all kindreds and tongues and nations, and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb, the slain, from the foundation of the world. So we see this all authority is given to him over every nation, tribe, and tongue. What nation is the world leader right now? America is the world leader. Oil and other goods are traded upon across the whole globe on the US dollar. United States is the world leader. Okay. Now it's interesting because America is the world leader. We have greatly passed the British Empire, and now England is really trying to hang on to U.S. coattails over the last, you know, 80 years. But we are the world power here in America. We are the world power that every country answers to. And quite recently, under Trump's administration, we are being loud and proud about it, doing what we want where we want, and everyone else has to succumb because we are the world's power. If you come against us, we'll just sanction you, we'll cut off your swift banking, and we'll sanction you, and we'll lock up your assets, whether wherever country you have them in, we'll lock them up. And we control the world. We control the oil from every country in the world through the US dollar trade. And so who do we have trying to oppose our world power? Our global uh hegemy, hedge, hegemy. How do you say hegemony? China, Russia, Pakistan. They're trying to get off of our global hegemony. And they're trying to get off the US dollar. And they're trying to get off oil being traded in the US dollar. And they're trying to oppose our global order. But this global order is an American order supported by the reason why Israel is our greatest ally is because we have technology, cutting-edge technology and weaponry and spy and espionage intelligence, the greatest source in the world, Israel. Israel has some of the best technologies. Waze is an Israeli. I mean, if I went over the list of all the technologies, that if I just went over a list of all the technologies that we have from Israel, global technologies, majority of them come out of Israel. The GPS system, and just on and on and on and on and on and on. We are heavily reliant on Israel's technology. They're the world leader in technology. Not only Israel, but Israel's uh people, the Jewish people. In America, they're our greatest scientists, our greatest physicists. They created the atomic bomb. You know, our greatest physicists and scientists and and and technology guys are Zionist Jews that live here, but they're pro-Israel. Some of them live in Israel, some of them have dual citizenship. But they are our source of intelligence around the world and technology and high-end weaponry, and we support them with kinetic weapons, we support them with finances, and so there is this US Israel alliance that is a very powerful global world order. So if the Antichrist is going to exercise power over every nation, tribe, and tongue, they're financing, they're baking, what they buy and what they sell, who had China don't have the power to do that. They can only do China. Iran don't have the power, Iran only controls Iran. The US and our allies, and our number one ally in twin is Israel. They're basically one. We run the world. I'm America's citizen, so I can say we run the world. Amen. And if we as America want to shut you down, we can stop you from buying and selling. We could cut you off YouTube, X, social media. We could we could get you fired from your job. America is very powerful. We are the global order. Do you understand me? So it says authority will be given to him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. Now let's look at Colossians 1.23. Colossians 123. Amen. It says, which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will, worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body, not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh. Paul says the gospel was preached to every creature under heaven in his own lifetime. But was it really, literally, every single human being? No. Every tribe, every tongue, and every nation is a Greek construction that literally means a sweeping, unprecedented, representative authority, not mathematically in totality. So when we say the Antichrist will rule the over every nation, tribe and tongue, that doesn't mean that some Nicaraguan that's living in the mountain won't be able to buy a couple of bananas because the Antichrist is in power and we're all having the chip and the market of the beast and AI, and so he's not gonna be able to go buy some bananas. Because that remote village in Nicaragua is not really under the Western system of control and finance and so on. So he's speaking about this unprecedented sweeping power in the modern world. Does that make sense? The modern world is not the mountains of Afghanistan. This is the modern world is the uh the the world powers, the developed nations. Can we say developed nations? The developed nations. So Daniel proves it. Let's look at Daniel 1141 very carefully. Daniel proves that it's not every single country, every single city, every single race, every tribe. Daniel actually narrows it down. Now, have you noticed we always say the World Series, the world's greatest, the best fighter in the world. And we're just talking about, you know, US, UK, we're just talking about, you know, the World Series doesn't have every kind team in the world, it just has American teams. But the reason why we make claims like that is because we're a world superpower and we believe that that that that you know that when we say best in the world, we don't know if there's somebody, like I said, from Nicaragua that's a good, and they have, you know, like we don't know, right? But we're talking about in the known world, the developed world. So let's look at here at Daniel 1141. 1141 says this he shall the he shall enter into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown, but these shall escape. Say they shall escape. They shall escape out of his hand. Edom, Moab, and the chief children of Amon. This is this is basically, I believe it's Jordan, the area of Jordan. Edom, Moab, Amon is modern Jordan, named specifically that they shall escape. So let's take that a step further. If if if if these major cities and the kingdom of Jordan, if they're gonna escape the control of the Antichrist global order and his influence, that's just a neighbor. That's just a neighbor of Israel. Imagine Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea is not gonna, you know, not even be in that area, right? So we're really talking about the Western world. And the Bible talks about I went over the the charts last couple weeks with the region that he comes from, and he comes from that that secluded empire, which was part of the Greek Empire, which the Bible talks about is the new Roman Empire, because then Rome took over. So the Roman Empire, its government is spread throughout the UK and the United States, and so we're talking about a Western allegiance, and Israel is the tip of the spear into these verses. All these verses are dealing with the final world war that takes place under the Antichrist reign in the West. And so the tip of the spear is Israel, which is the Antichrist, will be the head of the global Western Order of Nations, and everybody around them will be against him and will fight against him. So who's the good guy? Is it the Antichrist backed by US, UK, France, and so on? Where you have to take the mark of the beast and worship him. And as are they the good guys? Are are we the is our nation the good guys? No. But are the Arabs, the Muslims, are they the good guys? No. Who are the good guys? We're the the ones, the saints, who won't take the mark of the beast, who are getting our heads cut off, or being in prison for being radical. Who are ostracized, fired, terminated from their jobs for being uh outspoken Christian. Jesus said, Don't think I've come to bring peace and a happy life. He said, I come to bring a fire. And he says in chapter 13, persecution will come. Amen. We've been in America safe from persecution because America has been given a time frame to find and to serve God, just like Israel was given a chance all the way up into Jesus' time, and then he said, I gave him three more years. He says in Luke 13, I'll give him three more years, which was his three years of ministry to repent and believe. God is merciful, but the time of mercy will end. Amen. North Korea had a big revival. There was a time where there was a massive revival in North Korea, and hundreds of thousands believed in the Lord and they were freely worshipping. Billy Graham's wife was uh in raised in North Korea as a free Christian, but the time came when judgment came. And for you to carry the name of Christ today in North Korea, you have to be killed. And that time will come in the West. It's already begun. If you preach against homosexuality online on your YouTube live stream in Canada, you will get arrested for it. And several nations, I believe UK too. And UK, you get arrested now for preaching on the street. Those are our sister nations, Canada, UK, and it will be coming to America. Amen. I wish I had good news for you guys, but you know, maybe I do. Let's see. Amen. So modern Jordan will escape because Revelation 12, 6 tells us that the the faithful Jews that follow God will flee to the wilderness, a place prepared by God for 1,260 days. And it says in Isaiah 63:1 that Jesus will return from Bozrah, which is ancient Edom. He'll come out of Jordan and he'll come there first where his people are, and the Antichrist literally cannot touch him. God will supernaturally protect the Jewish people. Now I was watching uh some video came in of this Jewish man with the hat and the long beard and the curls, and total Jewish guy. And he said, Ma, this Israel is satanic. He said, They are the world's problem. He said, This is not God's Israel. He said they are false Jews. He said they are not the real Jews. He said they are false, and they are they are the great Satan and the problem for everything happened in the world right now. This is a Jew saying it. These are the Jews, the real Jews that are following God that are going to be persecuted. They're protesting in Israel against Bibi Netanyahu. They're refusing to join the military because they know that this secular Israel is an Ishmael. It's not the Isaac, it's not the promise. This is not the Messiah's kingdom. This is a secular satanic beast into homosexuality and pedophilia and murder and genocide. Do you hear me? And so these are the Jews that are gonna be persecuted by the Antichrist, and they're gonna have to flee Israel into Jordan according to Isaiah 63. Isn't that interesting? So now let's look at Daniel 11, 40 and 44. Daniel 11, 40 and 44 says this. And at that time of the end shall the king of the south push at him, push at the Antichrist. And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships, and he shall enter into the countries and shall overflow and pass over. Verse 40 says 44 says this, but the tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble the Antichrist. Therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many. All the way to the surrounding countries such as Syria and Turkey and Iran, they will come against the Antichrist. So it's very clear if they're coming against the Antichrist, what country is the Antichrist? The president of. If Turkey is coming down, Jordan is coming north, the Chinese are coming west, and they're all coming to attack Jerusalem, and the Antichrist throne is in Jerusalem, then he's the priest, the president, or the prime minister of what country? Israel. It's very clear here in scriptures. Which is our ally, which is our number one guy over there. Amen. So his empire is real, it's vast, it's terrifying. It's the Western world order. But it's not a true planetary administration. It's Mediterranean with the tip of the spear being right there in Israel. It's three independent blocks now trying to attack him and penetrate him and overthrow him. Does this mean that God is done with Israel? No. And this is why it's okay to have a love for Israel. It's okay to have a love for Jerusalem. It's okay to pray for Jerusalem. But what you should pray for Jerusalem is that the people would wake up, that they would protect themselves from the rule of their government, that they would oppose what's happening there, that they would escape that which is happening there, that they would come to the knowledge of salvation. Because Jesus said that I will not come back to Jerusalem until they say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Now, if you come in the name of the Lord in Jerusalem, what do they do? They spit on you, they punch you in the face. It's all over videos of people there preaching and ministering on the streets, and they get punched in the face by and spit on by children. And one Chinese lady, she's like, Oh, it's Holy Spit. It's okay, it's Holy Spit, it's Holy Spit. Jesus is gonna come back for when they are saying, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. We know that this government is not the Messiah's government. We know this is not God's prophecy being fulfilled. This is a satanic Zionist movement, and we believe the Messiah is gonna come, he is gonna establish his kingdom in Jerusalem, but it's gonna be his way under the knowledge of Christ and the blessing of righteousness and holiness that comes from God. Amen. Not this political kingdom, which is wicked at its core. Amen. Romans 11:1. Look at let's look at this. Romans 11:1. We Christians, when we support modern day secular Israel, we are supporting the antichrist and his government, his plan. When we support righteousness in Israel, when we support the preaching of the gospel in Israel, if we support the banning of abortions in Israel, if we support the banning of drug use, then we are supporting a righteous thing in Israel, just like America. But when we are supporting in our country greater war, greater technocracy and government control, greater global currency, tech and bit, bit bit digital government central currency, we are supporting the antichrist system. Do you understand me? Romans, and they always wrap themselves in the Bible. Trump wraps himself in verses. You know, Biden wraps up in verses. Clintons, you know, they all use the Bible. They all say they're Christians. Every single president has got up and said they're Christians and even attend services on Sunday. But during the week, they're cussing like sailors, saying the vilest things, planning to release diseases and sell drugs and create wars and blackmail government leaders, and they're just doing the most wicked and vile things. Amen. Kennedy's Marilyn Monroe. Amen. Wicked. Amen. Romans 11, 1. I say then, hath God cast away his people? Does this mean that God has cast away Israel? He says, God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham of the tribe of Benjamin. Amen. God's not done with Israel. And let me tell you, when you meet a Jewish Christian, a Jewish messianic believer, there's such an anointing on them. There's such a grace on them. Whether they're preaching or they're doing worship or whatever, there's there's such an anointing on them because it's like his people that have come to acknowledge him and had to face division, like we looked at, like I talked about earlier today. The denial of their father, the demial of the community, the ostracization of their life from their family and friends, community, that they grew up in their whole world. Gone. And now they're just in a church with Gentiles that they don't know from Adam. And they just become family with you because they become your brother, they become your sister just because you both love Jesus. Just like we are. I'm not your family, I'm not your brother, your sister, your mother, your father. But we're closer than brother, sister, mother, father because our love for Jesus. Same thing with the Jews. When they come and they accept Jesus, they lose their whole family. And the only family they find is right here within the church. But because of that, there's a very powerful, powerful anointing on their lives. A lot of them have great miracles. The one the ones that preach have great miracles in their ministry, uh, like just phenomenal signs and wonders. Because they're they're they're one of the people that said yes to Messiah. Jesus, when he came, he didn't come to India first or Mexico or Africa or Vietnam. He came to his people first because he wanted them to choose him, but they killed him. Amen. Jeremiah 31, 35 and 36. He said, God has not forgotten about Israel. God forbid, he says. Let's look at Jeremiah 31, 35, and 36. Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar, the Lord of hosts is his name. If those ordinances depart from before me, if the sun stops shining, the moon starts to stop shining, if the ocean cease to roar, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever. The sun is not going to turn off anytime soon. He said, as eternal as the sun is and the moon is, and the as eternal as the seas roar across this globe. He said, Israel will be a nation before him. He is not through with them. He is not done. He's gonna come and save them from themselves. I don't know if any of y'all have ever had to be saved from yourself. You've messed yourself up, and you're like, God, forgive me, have mercy. I'm I messed up myself. That's been Israel for centuries. He's gonna save them from themselves, and the remnant of them will have to flee their prime minister, and they'll have to flee into Jordan's mountains for safety once once their prime minister is ruling as the Antichrist, and they will have to hide in those mountains, and Christ will come back and save them and establish them as an eternal nation forever, and all nations will come and worship in Jerusalem in the millennial kingdom. Amen. So before I get into the unholy trinity, there's a trinity, there's also an unholy trinity. I have to say something that most prophecy teachers skip over or get backwards, and getting it wrong changes everything you read about the end times. Here's what the text actually shows us, and it will surprise you. Israel is not the victim of the Antichrist final hour. Israel is her crown jewel. Amen. Let me show you what I mean. Daniel, Daniel 9. Let's go back to Daniel. The church has taught for hundreds of years that Israel is the poor victim. The Antichrist is going to try to attack them. No, he is the crown jewel. He rules from there. Daniel 9 27. Let's look at it. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. That's seven years. And in the midst of the week, he shall cause the sacrifice of oblation to cease. And for the overspreading of abominations, he shall make it desolate even until the consummation. And that determined shall be upon, poured upon the desolate. Amen. The Antichrist confirms a covenant representing Israel with the Arab nations, not against her, but to protect her. Do you follow me? He becomes her most powerful patron, her protector, the one who likely enables the temple to be rebuilt. He's gonna say, let's rebuild the temple, let's start the sacrifices, let's establish the beauty and the pride of Israel, expand our borders. And he resumes the daily sacrifices. Jared Kushner, the hero of Israel. Amen. I'm just joking. But he's gonna be applauded like Jared Kushner, like Bibi, defeating our greatest enemy. Praise God, all hail. Our new prime minister or our new UN. Because maybe Israel will be this could be a UN or an EU leader that is pioneering these things on behalf of Israel. Doesn't necessarily mean he's the prime minister. All right. For the first three and a half years, Israel and the Antichrist have in a strategic alliance. What does that have to do with us? We are 99% of our US Congress, Senate, and representatives are receiving and being funded by Israel. We are their partner. Amen. Some people say they're puppet, but Trump says no, we make up our own mind. We are a partners. Right? He's going to lead Israel's revival. Jerusalem will become his throne. And the temple becomes his capital capital building. This is why they push for Trump to put the embassy in Jerusalem. Because the temple is going to be the capital of Israel, of the global New World Order, the Western world order. He does not come to destroy, he comes to replace God in Israel. He's going to be a secular Jew. He's going to say, We are gods. That message and that teaching is all over the Baha'i faith and global religions and all around America and the US and there's groups all over Houston that believe we are gods. This new global religion. He'll say, We are gods. Look, I'm gonna kill a pig here in the temple, nothing happens. Let's stop being so religious. His goal is not genocide, his goal is worship. He wants the temple to not be demolished. He wants it to be occupied. He wants Jerusalem not destroyed because that's the seat of his global power. And the nations that oppose him will be his enemy. So are we on his side or are we on their side? Well, I don't want to be on their side either. I'm not for the Islamic caliphate and I'm not for Turkey or the Communist Party of China either. None of these secular governments are our government. Do you think the Christians in Rome, the Christians in Jerusalem and Rome, do you think that they were uh for some candidate or party? They saw themselves alone in this world with God as their king. Do you understand me? There was no country to go to or party to join or political leader to get behind that was going to represent the Christian people. They saw all the governments of this world as wicked, and they felt a mission to be a light, to preach the gospel, to help the poor, the widows, the needy, to give food to the hungry, and to share the love of Christ because their kingdom was not of this world. And this is where the churches got so messed up by thinking here in America that the Democrats and Republicans are our party. Trump's our candidate. Fooled again. Bush was our candidate, fooled again. Clinton, Biden, our candidate, fooled again, because we keep trying to make some man our representative for God. And we can't do that. Amen. We can't do that. We will be fooled again and again and again. What nations oppose him? The Arab nations to the south, the northern powers from Turkey, the kings of the east mobilize against him. They're not defending Israel, they are opposing Israel's global dominance. Why? Because Israel holds a global dominance. Amen. He fights against them all from his Jerusalem base. Let me say it carefully in closing. To be on the side of the Antichrist system in the final hour is the Western power structure that backs him. The global governance that crowns him, the UN, the EU, the IMF, our Western system, the financial system enforces this mark of the beast. And if you don't disown your radical conservative Christianity and embrace his mark, which includes Israel as the geopolitical entity at the moment, US, UK, and the Western US coalition of the beast. Geopolitical alignment with that system, East-West, Arabo-European alignment with the beast. But, and this is where I need you to hear me carefully. Does that mean that God abandoned Israel? No. Does that mean the Jewish people are outside of reach of God's covenant because their nation has become anti-Christ throne? No. When he says, Paul says, has God cast away Israel, and he says, God forbid, that's the Greek word junoito. Junoito, G-E-N-O-I-T-O. It's the strongest negation that the Apostle Paul ever used in the Greek in all of his writings. Two-thirds of the New Testament, the strongest negation he's ever used. God forbid, absolutely not. May it never. He's not soft pedaling this, he's slamming the door on that question. Because in Romans 1, 11, 29, he says the gifts in the calling of God are irrevocable. That means not to be recalled without repentance, in the King James says on God's part. God is saying, I will not take back my love for Israel. I cannot unpromise what I've promised. And the good news is the same for you and me. When God chose to pluck us out and save us, we've been saved. You guys saved by grace. That means through your parents. Because your parents taught you Jesus, and you have to believe, you know, otherwise you get kicked out the house, like the Muslims. You have to believe. But I was plucked up from a secular family, not following God. You were plucked up from, you know, half no one serving God except for maybe your mother and some boring united church, whatever. You were plucked up from a dead religious Catholic church. You was plucked up from just blase, blah, Buddhism, don't even know what they're doing. She'd go into the temple, light a candle or whatever, incense and leave. They didn't know anything. We were plucked up and chosen by God. Say, I am chosen. We are chosen by God, plucked out of our families. Who all in your family serving God like you are, preaching and doing worship and doing you're plucked up out of your family. I was plucked up out of my family. You were plucked up out of your family. Amen. And God will not cast us away. His gifts and his calling is irrevocable. You might think you're unworthy, untalented, or unqualified. Amen. But they're irrevocable, not to be recalled. Without repentance, he will not take it back, he will not unpromise you what he promised you. You are engrafted in with Israel. Amen. Now are you Abraham's seed? Not every person who claims to be a Christian. Because just to claim you're a Christian, that's like that's what all the government leaders do, right? You know, just claim you're a Christian doesn't mean anything. We are really Christians. We are coming to church. We are taking the Lord's body. We are worshiping God. We are taking the word, we are saved. Amen. And though we are not perfect and make mistakes, we're part of the righteous, amen. Amen. And we are part of that same promise too. The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Amen. You so we should not be on the wrong side of history. We should love Israel just as much as we love Sudan and Kenya. And we should pray for their salvation. And we should consider as all these things come together, where all is all this AI technology and the and the global currency, where is all this coming out of? It's coming out of Israeli-based technology with US, France, UK, government alliance. We are in the belly of the beast, the global economic power. Amen. And we have a short time that we can stay in this system, prosper in this system, enjoy the comforts of life in this system, but that will be ending soon. Amen. So while we have the time, let us not live for ourselves, but let us live to save our family members, our friends, everyone that we can reach out to and minister to and love. Amen. And if the bolts get tightened and tightened and tightened, and all the cures becomes solely online and they begin to squeeze America and our freedom, what we could preach, what we could say, what we can do, then we might have to adjust.

Right?

But let's now make as much money as we can. Amen. So we can take care of our families and give to the poor. In Luke chapter 11, Jesus said, Woe to you that worked hard, saved up, and decided to tear down your barnyards and build a bigger barn to save even more money. He says, You fool, tonight your life will be required of you. He said, Woe to them that are rich in this life, but not rich towards God. So the call and the assignment that we have in this nation is to not only take advantage of it to make as much money as we can, but to in that be rich towards God, generous to give to the poor, generous to help the needy, generous to the church, generous to world missions, generous to the things of God. He says, Don't worry in the same chapter about what you're gonna wear, what you're gonna put on, what you're gonna eat, what you're gonna drink. He said, All those things is what the world worries about. He said, Be like Christina and Jade. I just want water. He says, Don't worry about what the world is consumed about, clothing and food and the dining. He says, God will give you those things. He says, It's God's pleasure for you to have those things, but seek first his kingdom. It's in Luke chapter eleven. Seek verse twelve. Seek first his kingdom, twelve thirty-one. We'll end with that verse. Twelve thirty-one. He says eleven thirty-one. I thought it was thirty one. I thought it was thirty three. I was right the first time I said it. Twelve thirty-one. He says, but rather seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. He says, You can have the nice things, the clothes, the foods that will be given to you. But don't seek after those things. Seek first the kingdom of God. Then he says, verse 2032, I love it. Fear not, because the first thing we do when he says, Don't worry about what you're gonna eat, what you're gonna drink, what you're gonna put on, and don't worry about your shelter. God's gonna take care of that. The first thing is we start, we start to get fear. Like, well, what you want me to be homeless, God? What we don't want me, bro. I can't go out to a nice restaurant anymore. We start to get fearful. So he responds, No, seek first the kingdom of God. You'll have all those things, it'll be given to you. Fear not, little flock, for it is your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. It's his pleasure to see you wine and dine finally. It's his pleasure. But if your focus is that and not the kingdom of God, being rich towards God, helping the orphan, the widow, the poor, those who need the gospel, the mission trips. If your focus is not that, then he says you lay your treasures in places where the moss and the rust does collect, where the thieves break through and steal. But if you are rich towards God, he'll say, He'll make sure you get all those things because it's his good pleasure to give it to you. Amen. He's pleased in the prosperity of his servants. But woe to them that say, I'm going to store up and hoard and build up for my future and are not rich towards God. Amen. Amen. Let's let's close in prayer. Next week, I'm gonna end by breaking down the three figures of the satanic trinity: the beast, the false prophet, and so forth. So that'll be a combination of everything we've been teaching. Amen. Amen. Israel will be on the verge of total destruction and nuclear annihilation, not from the antichrist, but a retaliation to the antichrist and what he's doing through his kingdom in Israel, and God will have to save her from herself. Amen. In this final hour, it's all being aligned right now with the AI and the global shifting in Iran, the Middle East, in America's projection of power around the world, with the League of Nations in the UN and the EU, and the enemies gathering together of the Western satanic antichrist throne. Iran, Russia, China, Pakistan, and some of the Arab nations lining up against the West in its projection of global power. And whose side are we on? Is are we on America's side, Israel's side, Iran's side, Russia's side, God forbid. We're only on the only right side, that's God's side. Amen. The only right side is God's side. Hallelujah. And God has people in China, God has people in Russia, God has people in Iran, God has people in America and in Israel. And we are all part of that same family. We're all part of that same family of God from every nation, tribe, and tongue that will have to resist this beast system. Amen. Heavenly Father, we come to you today and we thank you for giving us truth, for giving us sound doctrine and truth. That we be not carried away, Father God, with deception, that we be not brought into a cultural, false type of Christianity, of political power, wielding Christianity, God. But we come into this earth and into this society, knowing that we are the redeemed of the Lord, we are called out, that we belong to another kingdom, that we bear another mission, that we carry another symbol, and that's the symbol of the cross of Jesus Christ. That it's not through the cross that we will yield social, political, or economic power, but it's through the grace of the Holy Ghost and the mission of the kingdom of God that we will steward over any rulership that you give us, that we will steward over any opportunities you give us. We were steward over every relationship that you've given us, every spirit of influence that you've given us, we will steward over it as representatives of God and his kingdom. Whether it's in this land or another land, whether it's in this country or with this government or another government, a communist government, uh uh a theocratic government. Wherever we go, whatever we engage with that, we are representing Christ and his kingdom, and our allegiance is to Jesus and to people coming to salvation, and repentance is our agenda. And thank you for opening up our eyes and allowing us to be in America at this point in time where we still have limited freedom to preach, limited freedom to teach, limited freedom to share the word of God without being arrested or killed for it. But Father, the days of this crunch are coming ahead, and let us be prepared in this moment to reach as many people as we can, to be prosperous and excel in this in this life and in our society financially, as much as we can to be developed in our gifts and developed in our spheres of influence as much as possible until the time that that quenching that that that that closing in comes. And during every season, let us bear a bright light, let us carry a great powerful authority, let us walk in divine angelic deliverance, strength, and might, and great power to touch the human heart by healing disease, by prophesying, by revealing the mysteries and the hidden things of the people's hearts, lives, and past history and circumstance by bringing a conviction of the Holy Ghost to their heart to deliver them into salvation. And Father, we thank you for this grace and this boldness to do so in Jesus' name. Amen. But you might be listening right now and you say, Pastor Joey, I wanted to pray that prayer. If I was there, I would have prayed with you. I'd like to pray right now, as a matter of fact. I'd like to give my life to Jesus Christ. I would like to have God in my life, and I'd like to know Jesus is my savior and my Lord, and surrender my life to him. You know, repentance means to turn away from your way of doing things and to turn to God's way. We've done things our own way. Like they used to say, in Alcoholics Not Amiss, and Narcotics Not Amist, when I did the 12 steps, they said your best decisions and your best ways of thinking and your best ways of handle life have gotten you to this situation. And now it's time to trust a higher power. Well, there is no higher power than the God of all the earth. His name is Jehovah. And he sent his son Jesus to die for you, and through him, you can turn from your way of doing things to his way, and his way is the right way because he made you. He made you for a purpose, and he knows exactly what you need to pull out your potential to forgive you of your sins, deliver you from the things that keep you away from God in a sin and death cycle. And if you'd open up your heart to him right now, together with me, God can begin a new work in your life. So just pray with me wherever you're at, whether you're driving your car, whether you're at home, wherever you are, just pray with me and repeat after me. Say, Father, I come to you now. In the name of Jesus. I ask you to forgive me. Forgive me of my sins. Wash me in the blood of Jesus. I believe that your son died for my sins. And on the third day, he was raised from the dead. From this day forward, I belong to you. In Jesus' name, amen. You prayed that prayer, I'd like you to contact me, and we can send you some more resources and materials that can help you start this new life because this is the first day of the rest of your life. Email me at Joe at nationsabroad.com or email the church at nfcontact at gmail.com. And we'd love to speak with you and just correspond with you and put you on the right path. Maybe help you find some local churches there online or something, or maybe we know some pastors there that can follow up with you and help teach you the word of God. Thank you for listening. And feel free to download the other podcast and just feed on the word of God.
