God's Daytimer | The 7,000-Year Master Plan & What It Means for Today (Oct 29) · 1 Year Audio Bible Podcast

0:00
Did you know that God has a day timer?
0:04
And in this day timer is contained a 7,000-year
0:08
master plan. Today we look into
0:11
Genesis chapter 1 and we see the 6 days of
0:16
creation, and on the 7th day God rests.
0:21
2 Peter tells us that one day is like 1,000
0:25
years and 1,000 years is like one day.
0:30
Join us as we look at what God's master plan is for
0:34
the ages. The other thing we're going to look at today
0:37
is Trump's 20-point peace plan for the Middle East.
0:42
Will it last? Will it bring peace to the Middle
0:46
East? Are there some concerns, some landmines
0:52
that we might need to avoid? Some traps that we
0:56
hadn't thought about? Listen in as we hear from Michele Bachmann
1:01
with her insights and keen analysis on the 20-point
1:05
peace plan. Welcome to the Daily Audio Torah.
1:09
Today is October 29th. Now let's continue our
1:13
journey reading through the entire Bible in one year. This week we are
1:17
reading from the New Living Translation for the Old Testament and for the New
1:21
Testament.
1:26
Genesis 1:1-2:19.
1:30
In the beginning God created the heavens and the
1:33
earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered
1:38
the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface
1:42
of the waters. Then God said, let there be light,
1:46
And there was light. And God saw that the light was
1:49
good. Then He separated the light from the darkness.
1:53
God called the light Day and the darkness Night.
1:56
And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.
2:00
Then God said, Let there be a space between the waters to
2:04
separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.
2:08
And that is what happened.
2:11
God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from
2:14
the waters of the heavens. God called the space
2:18
Sky. And evening passed and morning came,
2:22
marking the second day. Then God said, Let the
2:25
waters beneath the sky flow together into one place so
2:28
dry ground may appear. And that is what happened.
2:32
God called the dry ground Land and the waters Seas.
2:37
And God saw that it was good. Then God said,
2:41
let the land sprout with vegetation, every sort of seed-bearing
2:45
plant and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds
2:49
will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.
2:53
And that is what happened. The land produced vegetation,
2:57
all sorts of seed-bearing plants and trees with seed-bearing fruit.
3:02
Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind.
3:05
And God saw that it was good. And evening
3:08
passed and morning came, marking the 3rd day.
3:12
Then God said, Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from
3:16
the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days,
3:19
and years. Let these lights in the sky shine down on the
3:24
earth. And that is what happened. God made
3:27
2 great lights, the larger one to govern the day and the smaller one to
3:31
govern the night. He also made the stars.
3:34
God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, to govern
3:38
the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw
3:43
that it was good. And evening passed and morning came, marking the 4th
3:47
day. And then God said, let the waters swarm with fish
3:51
and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.
3:56
So God created great sea creatures and every
3:59
living thing that scurries and swarms in the water,
4:02
and every sort of bird, each producing offspring of the same
4:06
kind. And God saw that it was good.
4:09
Then God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply; let
4:13
the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.
4:18
And evening passed and morning came, marking the 5th day.
4:22
Then God said, Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing
4:26
offspring of the same kind: livestock, small animals
4:29
that scurry along the ground, and wild animals. And that is what
4:33
happened. God made all sorts of wild animals,
4:38
livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the
4:42
same kind. And God saw that it was good.
4:45
Then God said, let us make human beings in our image, to be
4:49
like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea,
4:52
the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on
4:56
the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.
5:00
So God created human beings in his own image.
5:03
In the image of God he created them; male and female he
5:07
created them. Then God blessed them and said,
5:10
be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and govern
5:14
it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky,
5:17
and all the animals that scurry along the ground.
5:21
Then God said, look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant
5:25
throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I
5:29
have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds
5:33
in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground— everything that
5:38
has life. And that is what happened. Then God looked
5:42
over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good. And evening
5:46
passed and morning came, marking the 6th day.
5:51
So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything
5:54
in them was completed. On the 7th day God had finished
5:59
his work of creation, so he rested from all his work.
6:03
And God blessed the 7th day and declared it holy,
6:06
because it was the day when he rested from all his
6:10
work of creation. This is
6:13
the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. When the
6:18
Lord God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor grains
6:22
were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet
6:25
sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate
6:29
the soil. Instead, springs came up from the ground and watered
6:34
all the land. And then the Lord God formed the man from the dust
6:38
of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into
6:42
the man's nostrils, and the man became
6:45
a living person. Then the Lord God
6:48
planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the
6:52
man he had made. The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow up
6:57
from the ground, trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious
7:01
fruit. In the middle of the garden He placed the Tree of Life and
7:05
the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. A river flowed
7:09
from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then dividing into 4 branches.
7:13
The first branch, called Pishon, flowed around
7:17
the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found. The gold
7:21
of that land is exceptionally pure. Aromatic resin and onyx
7:25
stone are also found there. The second branch, called Gihon,
7:28
flowed around the entire land of Cush. The third branch,
7:32
called the Tigris, flowed east of the land of Asshur.
7:36
The fourth branch is called the Euphrates. The Lord
7:40
God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.
7:44
But The Lord God warned him, you may freely eat
7:49
the fruit of every tree in the garden except the tree
7:53
of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit,
7:57
you are sure to die. Then the Lord God said,
8:01
it is not good for the man to be alone. I will
8:05
make a helper who is just right for him.
8:08
So the Lord God formed the ground from the ground
8:12
all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky.
8:17
He brought them to the man to see what he would call them,
8:20
and the man chose a name for each one.
8:27
Lamentations 1:1-2:22.
8:33
Jerusalem's streets, once bustling with people, are now silent.
8:37
Like a widow broken with grief, she sits alone in her mourning.
8:41
Once the queen of nations, she is now a slave.
8:45
She sobs through the night; tears stream down her cheeks.
8:49
Among all her lovers, there is no one left to help her.
8:52
All her friends have betrayed her; they are now her enemies.
8:56
Judah has been led away into captivity, afflicted and
9:00
enslaved. She lives among foreign nations and has no
9:03
place of rest. Her enemies have chased her down,
9:07
and she has nowhere to turn. The roads to Jerusalem are
9:11
in mourning, no longer filled with crowds on
9:14
their way to celebrate the Temple festivals. The city gates are
9:18
silent. Her priests groan. Her young women
9:22
are crying. How bitterly Jerusalem weeps!
9:25
Her oppressors have become her masters, and her enemies prosper,
9:29
for the Lord has punished Jerusalem for her many sins.
9:33
Her children have been captured and taken away to distant lands.
9:38
All the beauty and majesty of Jerusalem are gone.
9:41
Her princes are like starving deer searching for pasture,
9:45
too weak to run from the pursuing enemy.
9:48
And now, in the midst of her sadness and wandering, Jerusalem remembers
9:53
her ancient splendor. But then she fell
9:56
to her enemy, and there was no one to help her. Her enemies struck her
10:01
down and laughed as she fell. Jerusalem has sinned greatly,
10:05
so she has been tossed away like a filthy rag.
10:09
All who once honored her now despise her, for they have
10:12
seen her stripped naked and humiliated. All she can do is groan
10:16
and hide her face. She defiled herself with
10:20
immorality with no thought of the punishment that would follow.
10:24
Now she lies in the gutter with no one to lift her out.
10:27
Lord, see my deep misery! she cries.
10:31
The enemy has triumphed! The enemy has plundered
10:35
her completely, taking everything precious that she owns.
10:39
She has seen foreigners violate her sacred Temple,
10:42
the place the Lord has forbidden them to enter.
10:47
Her people groan as they search for bread.
10:50
They have sold their treasures for food to stay alive. O Lord,
10:54
look, she mourns, and see how I am despised!
10:57
Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around
11:01
and see if there is any suffering like mine, which the Lord brought on
11:05
me in the day of his fierce anger. He has sent fire
11:10
from heaven that burns in my bones; he has placed a trap in my
11:14
path and turned me back. He has made me desolate, racked with
11:18
sickness all day long. He wove my sins into ropes to
11:22
hitch me to a yoke of captivity. The Lord sapped my
11:26
strength and gave me to my enemies. I am helpless in their hands.
11:31
The Lord has treated my mighty men with contempt. At His command,
11:35
a great army has come to crush my young warriors. The Lord
11:39
has trampled His beloved city as grapes are trampled in a winepress.
11:43
For all these things I weep. Tears flow down my cheeks.
11:47
No one is here to comfort me. Any who might encourage me
11:51
are far away. My children have no future, for the enemy
11:55
has conquered us. Jerusalem pleads for help,
11:59
but no one comforts her. Regarding His people, the Lord has said,
12:03
Let their neighbors be their neighbors. Let them be thrown away like
12:07
a filthy rag. And the Lord is right, she groans,
12:10
for I rebelled against Him. Listen, people everywhere!
12:13
Look upon my anguish and despair, for my sons and daughters have
12:18
been taken captive to distant lands. I begged my allies
12:21
for help, but they betrayed me. My priests and leaders starved
12:26
to death in the city even as they searched for food to save their lives.
12:30
Lord, see my anguish! My heart is broken and my
12:34
soul despairs, for I have rebelled against You. In the streets
12:38
the sword kills, and at home there is only death. Others heard
12:42
my groans, but no one turned to comfort me. When my enemies heard
12:46
of my troubles, they were happy to see what You had done. O bring
12:50
the day You promised, when You will destroy them as You
12:54
have destroyed me. Look at all their evil deeds, Lord.
12:58
Punish them as You have punished me for all my sins.
13:01
My groans are many, and my heart is faint.
13:06
The Lord in His anger has cast a dark shadow
13:09
over Jerusalem. The fairest of Israel's cities lies
13:13
in the dust thrown down from the heights of heaven.
13:17
In His day of awesome fury, the Lord has shown no mercy
13:21
even to His temple. Without mercy, the Lord has destroyed
13:25
every home in Israel. In His anger, He has
13:28
broken down the fortress walls of Jerusalem. He has
13:31
brought to dust the kingdom and all its rulers.
13:35
All the strength of Israel vanishes beneath His fury.
13:38
The Lord has withdrawn His protection as the enemy
13:42
attacks. He consumes the whole land of Israel like a raging
13:46
fire. He bends His bow against His people as though
13:50
He were their enemy. His strength is used against them
13:54
to kill their finest youth. His fury is poured
13:58
out like fire on beautiful Jerusalem. Yes,
14:01
the Lord has vanquished Israel like an enemy.
14:04
He has destroyed her forts and palaces. He has
14:08
brought unending sorrow and tears to Jerusalem.
14:11
He has broken down His temple as though it were merely
14:15
a garden shelter. The Lord has blotted out all
14:19
memory of the holy festivals and Sabbath days. Kings and
14:23
priests fall together before His anger. The Lord has
14:26
rejected His own altar; He despises His
14:30
own sanctuary. He has given Jerusalem's palaces
14:33
to her enemies. They shout in the
14:37
Lord's Temple as though it were a day of celebration. The Lord
14:41
was determined to destroy the walls of Jerusalem. He made
14:45
careful plans for their destruction; then He went ahead and did it.
14:49
Therefore the ramparts and walls have fallen down before Him.
14:53
Jerusalem's gates have sunk into the ground. All their
14:56
locks and bars are destroyed, for he has smashed them.
15:00
Her kings and princes have been exiled to distant lands.
15:04
The law is no more. Her prophets receive no more visions
15:08
from the Lord. The leaders of Jerusalem sit
15:11
on the ground in silence, clothed in sackcloth. They throw
15:15
dust on their heads in sorrow and despair. The young women
15:18
of Jerusalem hang their heads in shame. I have cried
15:23
until the tears no longer come. My heart is broken,
15:26
my spirit poured out, as I see what has happened to my people.
15:31
Little children and tiny babies are fainting and dying in the streets.
15:35
Mama, we want food! they cry, and then collapse in their mother's
15:39
arms. Their lives ebb away like the life of a warrior
15:43
wounded in battle. In all the world has there ever been such
15:47
sorrow? O daughter of Jerusalem, to what can
15:50
I compare your anguish? O virgin daughter of Zion,
15:54
how can I comfort you? For your wound is as deep as the
15:58
sea. Who can heal you? Your prophets have said so
16:02
many foolish things, false to the core. They did not try to hold
16:07
you back from exile by pointing out your sins. Instead, they painted
16:10
false pictures, filling you with false hope.
16:14
All who pass by jeer at you. They scoff and insult
16:18
Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city called Most Beautiful in all
16:22
the world and Joy of all the Earth? All your
16:25
enemies deride you. They scoff and grind their teeth
16:30
and say, We have destroyed her at last!
16:33
Long have we awaited this day, and it is finally here.
16:38
But it is the Lord who did it just as He warned.
16:41
He has fulfilled the promises of disaster He made long ago.
16:45
He has destroyed Jerusalem without mercy and caused her
16:49
enemies to rejoice over her and boast of their power.
16:52
Cry aloud before the Lord, O walls of Jerusalem!
16:56
Let your tears flow like a river. Give yourselves no
17:00
rest from weeping day or night. Rise during the night
17:04
and cry out. Pour out your hearts like water
17:07
to the Lord. Lift up your hands to Him in prayer.
17:11
Plead for your children as they faint with hunger in the streets.
17:15
O Lord, think about this, Jerusalem cries.
17:19
You are doing this to your own people. Should mothers eat
17:23
their little children, those they once bounced on their knees?
17:26
Should priests and prophets die within the Lord's Temple?
17:30
See them lying in the streets, young and old, boys and girls,
17:34
killed by the swords of the enemy. You have killed them in your anger,
17:38
slaughtering them. Without mercy. You have invited terrors
17:42
from all around as though you were calling them to a day of feasting.
17:47
In the day of the Lord's anger, no one has escaped or
17:51
survived. The enemy has killed all the children I bore
17:55
and raised.
17:59
Philemon 1:25.
18:02
This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the good news about
18:07
Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy. It is written to Philemon,
18:11
our much-loved coworker, and to our sister Apphia
18:15
and Archippus, a fellow soldier of the cross.
18:19
I am also writing to the church that meets in your house.
18:23
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace
18:27
and peace. I always thank God when I pray for you,
18:30
Philemon, because I keep hearing of your trust in the Lord
18:33
Jesus and your love for all of God's people.
18:37
You are generous because of your faith, and I am praying that
18:41
you will really put your generosity to work, for in so doing you
18:45
will come to an understanding of all the good things we can do for Christ.
18:49
I myself have gained much joy and comfort from your love, my brother,
18:54
because your kindness has so often refreshed the hearts
18:58
of God's people. That is why I am boldly asking a
19:01
favor of you, I could demand it in the name of Christ
19:05
because it is the right thing for you to do, but because of our love,
19:09
I prefer just to ask you. So take this as a request
19:13
from your friend Paul, an old man now in prison for the sake
19:17
of Christ Jesus. My plea is that you show kindness to
19:21
Onesimus. I think of him as my own son because
19:24
he became a believer as a result of my ministry here
19:28
in prison. Onesimus hasn't been much use to
19:32
you in the past, but now he is very useful to both of us.
19:36
I am sending him back to you, and with him comes my own heart.
19:40
I really wanted to keep him here with me while I am in these
19:43
chains for preaching the Good News, and he would have helped me
19:47
on your behalf. But I didn't want to do anything without your
19:50
consent, and I didn't want you to help because you were forced
19:55
to do it, but because you wanted to. Perhaps you could think of it this
19:58
way: Onesimus ran away for a little while so
20:01
you could have him back forever. He is no longer
20:05
just a slave; he is a beloved brother, especially to me.
20:09
Now he will mean much more to you both as a slave and
20:13
as a brother in the Lord. So if you consider me your partner,
20:17
give him the same welcome you would give me if I were coming.
20:21
If he has harmed you in any way or stolen anything from you,
20:25
charge me for it. I, Paul, write this in my own handwriting.
20:30
I will repay it, and I won't mention that you owe me
20:33
your very soul. Yes, dear brother, please do
20:38
me this favor for the Lord's sake. Give me this encouragement in
20:42
Christ. I am confident as I write this letter that you will
20:45
do what I ask and even more. Please keep
20:49
a guest room ready for me, for I am hoping that God will answer your
20:53
prayers and let me return to you soon.
20:55
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings.
21:00
So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke,
21:04
my coworkers. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with
21:07
your spirit.
21:11
Psalm 101:1-8.
21:16
I will sing of your love and justice; I will praise you, Lord, with songs.
21:21
I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will
21:25
you come to my aid? I will lead a life of integrity in my
21:29
own home. I will refuse to look at anything vile
21:32
and vulgar. I hate all crooked dealings. I will have
21:36
nothing to do with them. I will reject perverse ideas and
21:40
stay away from every evil. I will not
21:44
tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not
21:48
endure conceit and pride. I will keep a protective
21:52
eye on the godly so they may dwell with Me in safety.
21:56
Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve Me. I will
22:00
not allow deceivers to serve Me, and liars will not be
22:04
allowed to enter My presence. My daily task
22:07
will be to ferret out criminals and free the City of the
22:11
Lord from their grip.
22:15
Proverbs 26:20: Fire goes out for lack of
22:18
fuel, and quarrels disappear when gossip stops.
22:25
Genesis, the book of beginnings.
22:29
Today we read Genesis chapter 1 and 2,
22:33
and it's amazing to think about and reflect on and
22:38
contemplate What if you could have been there watching
22:42
and observing during that first creation week?
22:48
What's amazing to think about is that when God spoke,
22:54
then there was light. And when He spoke,
22:58
then there was a space between the waters to separate
23:02
the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth. He each
23:07
day, all He had to do was speak the Word
23:12
and what He spoke came into being. It's incredible!
23:18
The Trinity— Father, Son,
23:22
and Holy Spirit— is revealed to us in Genesis 1:26
23:27
where it is written, then God said, let Us Make
23:32
man in our image,
23:36
according to our likeness. So there
23:40
God is referring to himself in plural,
23:45
that there is God the Father, God the Son,
23:48
and God the Holy Spirit.
23:52
The other thing that's absolutely remarkable and amazing is
23:56
that if you look at Genesis chapter 1, verse 1, In Hebrew,
24:01
in the Hebrew letters, there is a word right in the middle of the sentence,
24:06
and it's comprised of 2 letters: Aleph-Tav.
24:10
The Aleph is like our letter A, and the Tav
24:14
is like our letter Z. So when we say
24:18
Alpha and Omega, or A to Z,
24:21
it's Aleph and Tav. It's the first and the last letter of
24:25
the Hebrew alphabet. And when Jews read this,
24:29
they have no word for Aleph Tav.
24:32
But Aleph Tav is a reference to Jesus Christ.
24:36
He is the beginning and the end. He was there
24:40
in the beginning and He is there all the way in the end.
24:43
He is the Alpha and Omega. And there He is found
24:48
in Genesis chapter 1, verse 1.
24:52
The other thing we can glean is, as we look at this and
24:55
break it down, is in John chapter 1,
24:59
we see another angle of what
25:02
was going on on day 1 of the creation week.
25:06
John tells us in John chapter 1, verse 1, in the beginning
25:09
was the Word, and the Word was with God,
25:14
and the Word was God. Well,
25:17
what does he mean by the Word? What is this Word?
25:21
Well, then he tells us a little bit later on,
25:26
And it tells us that the Word became flesh
25:30
and dwelt among us. And that's
25:33
in John chapter 1, verse 14.
25:38
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
25:43
So the Word is Jesus.
25:47
When he says in John chapter 1, verse 1, in the beginning was
25:50
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,
25:53
The Word is a reference to Jesus Christ. So before
25:57
Jesus became a man and made of flesh,
26:01
He was the Word. And then when He
26:05
became a man, the Word became flesh.
26:09
Another thing I want to bring out is that in a way, when we
26:12
read Genesis 1:1, we're opening
26:16
up God's Daytimer. God has a master
26:20
plan for the world. He has a 6,000-year
26:24
plan, and He knew long
26:28
before He ever said, let there be light, He had you in mind.
26:34
You were in His heart. He knew you. He had you in His mind,
26:38
but also He knew that man was going to sin and
26:42
that man was going to need a Redeemer, a Savior.
26:46
So He knew all of that before He ever said, let there be
26:49
light. So God has a master 6,000-year
26:53
plan, and every single day of creation can be
26:58
representative of 1,000 years.
27:02
So in 2 Peter
27:05
3:8, it says this, but beloved, be not
27:09
ignorant of this one thing, that one day is
27:13
with the Lord as 1,000 years and
27:17
1,000 years as one day.
27:21
And so basically this is giving us like a key.
27:26
It's a, it's a piece to the puzzle to help us unlock Genesis
27:31
chapter 1, that one, every single day is like
27:36
1,000 years. And so where
27:40
are we on this timeline? Now set
27:44
aside anything you may have in your background regarding
27:49
the Earth being billions and billions of years old and the dinosaurs,
27:52
and that's all made up.
27:56
None of it can be proven. And they
28:00
had to have billions of years to work with, millions of years
28:04
in order for the evolutionary theory, the theory of evolution,
28:08
to work. For that theory to work, you have to have millions and millions
28:12
of years. But in all actuality,
28:16
the Earth is a very young Earth. I'm not going to go into detail
28:20
on it. There's lots of information out there about the
28:24
truth of Genesis and that we have a young Earth.
28:28
Very likely, we are in getting
28:33
close to entering the end of the 6th day,
28:36
the end of the 6,000 years, and we're very
28:40
close to stepping over the line into the final 1,000
28:44
years. Now what's significant about that final 1,000 years,
28:48
the 7th day, is that those are the 1,000
28:52
years that Jesus Christ is going to rule and reign from
28:55
Jerusalem. So how close are we to stepping
29:00
to finishing out the 6th day and stepping into
29:04
the 7th day? Now keep in mind, with Hebrews,
29:09
a day begins at sunset. And so
29:12
a new day begins when the sun sets.
29:17
So keep that in mind that God has a day
29:21
timer It's a 6,000-year plan,
29:24
and He plans to send His Son on a second
29:28
visit, a second time to come back to the earth. And this
29:32
time He's not coming as a lamb, a sacrificial
29:36
lamb. He's coming as a conquering King. He's coming to judge
29:40
the earth and to deal with all the evil and the wickedness upon this
29:44
earth, to cleanse the earth and to make it fit and
29:49
cleansed and set apart for us to rule and reign
29:53
with Him. So that's a little
29:56
bit about Genesis chapter 1, but now I want to
30:00
turn our attention to a very, very important topic.
30:07
At the time of this particular recording, it is October 21st,
30:10
2025.
30:14
And 20 living hostages have
30:18
been returned from the Gaza Strip back to Israel.
30:22
A number of the dead murdered bodies of
30:26
hostages are being returned, but not all of them have yet
30:30
to be returned. Trump has rolled out his 20-point
30:35
peace plan for the Middle East, and Trump
30:39
went on a visit to Israel and also
30:43
went to Egypt to convene with a number of Arab
30:48
leaders who all signed on to this 20-point
30:53
peace plan. Now, Israel is ecstatic
30:57
and elated that their 20 living hostages have
31:01
been returned to them,
31:04
but there are some really grave concerns
31:08
about this 20-point peace plan. And as of the
31:12
time of this recording, Hamas has not complied
31:17
with phase 2 of the peace plan. And in phase 2, they are
31:21
to lay down their arms, turn them in, and they
31:25
will be given diplomatic grace to
31:28
leave the country. They will not have any kind of a
31:32
role in a future government of
31:36
Gaza. And Hamas has not laid down their arms.
31:40
In fact, there was an attack and 2 IDF soldiers were killed,
31:44
and they are now murdering some of their own fellow Gazans,
31:48
executing them execution style. So will this
31:52
fragile peace last? Trump has
31:57
called it an eternal, everlasting peace,
32:01
but it does not look like it's going to last very
32:05
long. At all. The world
32:09
is desperate for peace.
32:12
There's been so much bloodshed and so much sorrow
32:16
and grief and mourning and loss of fallen soldiers,
32:21
of hostages that have been kept in inhumane conditions
32:25
in dark tunnels. The world desperately wants
32:30
peace. So I'm going to play a clip for
32:34
you, and it is from an interview with Michelle Bachmann,
32:39
and it was with the Family Research Council
32:43
hosted by Tony Perkins, and it's her commentary
32:48
regarding this 20-point peace plan.
32:51
I'm going to go ahead and play the clip,
32:55
and afterwards I would ask that you pray Pray,
33:01
pray for Israel. Understanding of how we
33:05
can pray. So with that backdrop, Michelle, let's talk
33:09
about Israel, this search for peace. We've heard a lot about
33:13
that this week, the president making a speech about eternal peace,
33:17
but we know that peace in that region is temporal
33:21
until the Prince of Peace comes to reign.
33:25
So how do we deal with that between now and when that
33:29
occurs? Hopefully soon, but it's not happened yet, right? Well,
33:33
I think the main thing— the main thing for believers is to know your Bible,
33:37
because the Lord tells us so much about what's
33:41
going to happen with Israel. We know that he neither slumbers
33:44
nor sleeps. We know that his strong right hand preserves
33:49
them. We know with Ezekiel 38 that nations will come against them, but God will
33:53
save them, and the Jewish people will then turn to the Lord. So we actually
33:57
have quite a bit of information, but we also are told that
34:00
as believers, it's our job to pray for Israel, to pray
34:04
for the peace of Jerusalem. And as Pastor Jack taught us
34:08
last night, that is praying for the coming of Messiah when we pray for
34:12
the peace. And those will prosper who love thee.
34:16
So we have to stay in the word and know the word and obey the
34:20
word when it comes to Israel. Because when you read the word,
34:24
Israel's in every part. It's from the beginning
34:27
of the Bible all the way through Revelation.
34:31
And so the number one key theme— you're a pastor,
34:34
so, and I'm, I'm not, so— but, but the
34:38
key theme of the Bible as I read it is the covenant, the covenant that
34:42
God gave, because God is the Redeemer, and the scarlet thread
34:46
of redemption runs through every bit of the Bible, and it's tied to
34:50
Israel because the covenant is God gave a land
34:53
and a people to the land. For what? For the purpose
34:57
of blessing all families on earth. We're blessed as
35:01
individuals, we're blessed as nations if we bless Israel.
35:05
And then concomitantly, if we curse Israel,
35:08
we're cursed as individuals and we're cursed as nations.
35:12
And so, as a member of Congress sitting on the Intelligence Committee,
35:16
I got this information. I could not share it with people,
35:19
as you said, but I knew that the reason why I was
35:23
there is because I was filled with the Holy Spirit. And so,
35:26
the Holy Spirit would give me wisdom about what I was hearing.
35:29
A lot of it was lies. That was during the Obama years, and we would
35:33
have the FBI, the leader of the FBI, leader of the CIA, leader of Director
35:38
of National Intelligence, Very small committee, nothing was ever on TV,
35:41
but we would hear the classified secrets of the nation all day long.
35:46
And I knew the Holy Spirit would show me different lies.
35:50
And I had other people come in to brief me privately who knew what was
35:53
going on, who would confirm, deny, whatever. And so it
35:57
was a very unique perch to have for a period of time. And I'm extremely
36:01
grateful for having that background and information. That informs me
36:05
today with what I see in the newspaper. So you have to read
36:09
between the lines in order to get what the truth is.
36:12
But you all have the ability to have the
36:16
mind of Christ, right? So you have the mind of Christ, you have the Holy
36:19
Spirit living within you, you know the word of God. You pick up
36:24
the newspaper, you can have discernment to know what's
36:28
going on, how to pray, and what to do. So let me answer
36:32
your question, I guess. Sorry, that was, that was the prefix. So that was
36:36
a great answer. So, so the answer is, as this
36:40
peace deal came up from President Trump, I was, I was opposed to this.
36:43
He had a 21-point plan, then it morphed into a 20-point plan,
36:47
and out of nowhere came the president's son-in-law together
36:51
with, uh, Steve Witkoff, and he brought these 2 in to
36:55
handle it. It perplexed me. We have a Secretary of State named Marco
36:58
Rubio Why wasn't he the one involved in these negotiations?
37:02
Nonetheless, these 2 were involved in the negotiations.
37:06
This is completely politically incorrect. I'm not speaking
37:10
for Tony or FRC. I'm not speaking for Jack or for this wonderful
37:14
church. But I was very concerned because of the historical
37:18
nature of the relationships that both Mr.
37:20
Witkoff and Jared Kushner had with Saudi
37:25
Arabia, and with Qatar, because Qatar is
37:28
the number one funder of terrorism in the world.
37:32
The number one nation-state of terrorism in the world is Iran.
37:37
So they're twin nations that are twin partners in terror.
37:41
Iran is the chief sponsor of terrorism. Qatar is the chief funder.
37:46
You need to know this about Qatar. Qatar is only 330,000
37:52
people. That's it. It's the size of Pittsburgh.
37:55
That's Qatar. They have 2 million slaves that work
37:59
for them. They take their passports away from them, but it's only
38:03
330,000 people. So why are they such smarty
38:06
pants? Qatar. It's because they have money.
38:10
They control 14% of the natural gas
38:13
in the world. 330,000 people. These are
38:17
the richest people in the world. World in Qatar,
38:20
some of the richest. And so one thing that I do
38:24
know, they believe very strongly in political Islam.
38:28
And so they are all about advancing,
38:31
conquering the world for Islam. They're very committed.
38:35
So they put their money where their mouth is. They're the chief propagandists in
38:39
the world. So then what happened in the last few months from America?
38:43
President Trump President Trump's first foreign policy
38:47
trip was to meet with Qatar, with Saudi Arabia.
38:51
Of the 19 hijackers who took down the Twin Towers
38:55
and the Pentagon and Flight 93, 17 of the 19
38:59
were Saudis. So we're trying to main— to have
39:03
a relationship with the Saudis and the Qataris. And Syria. The self-appointed
39:08
president of Syria was number 4 on the terror
39:12
watch list. We were offering $10 million for the scalp
39:16
of this guy who appointed himself the head of Syria.
39:20
And when President Trump went over, this, this terrorist put on a suit, trimmed his
39:24
beard, changed his clothes, and President Trump's in a photo
39:28
shaking hands with this guy. And I just thought, this is a little shocking
39:31
to me. You normally don't see like something like this, but there's been
39:36
a lot of private deals done financial
39:40
deals with people who are involved in foreign policy. This is very
39:43
unusual. If you have Qatar's junior business
39:47
partners conducting American foreign policy with
39:51
them, especially regarding Israel, I've never
39:56
seen anything like this before. So I'm standing back trying to watch
40:00
what's going on. So then the plan comes out, and this made
40:03
all the bells go off in my head because contained with the plan
40:09
plan is the understanding that Israel, that by the way, they were within
40:13
2 weeks of winning this war with Hamas. They already controlled
40:17
80% of Gaza. They were just right there coming
40:21
in for the victory. Go back to World War II.
40:24
We soundly defeated Imperial Japan,
40:27
soundly defeated Nazi Germany. So when
40:30
that happened, they're clear winner, clear loser. That's what you need in the Middle
40:34
East for the Arab mind. The Arab mind needs to know there's a
40:39
clear winner, clear loser, and by the way, the loser loses land. That's how
40:43
the Arab mind works. So just about as Israel is reaching
40:47
the goalpost, in comes our envoys,
40:50
Wikhof and Jared Kushner, and say, wait, stop it.
40:54
You can't win. Sorry, we're not gonna let you win. And so now
40:58
we're gonna have a ceasefire. And now we're going to negotiate. And in the negotiation,
41:02
Israel, you're not getting control over the land. You're not
41:06
getting it. And by the way, if the Arabs
41:10
do everything right, there's a hint they might get their own
41:14
state out of this deal. Judea,
41:16
Samaria, and maybe Gaza for their own country.
41:21
I mean, this is like shocking stuff.
41:24
Absolute barbarians. Murdering,
41:26
raping barbarians. They're going to get rewarded and Israel's going
41:30
to get what? 20 emaciated people back.
41:34
That's what they're getting out of the deal. 20 emaciated people and
41:39
dead corpses. That's the deal they're getting after they've
41:43
lost the lives of 2,500 people in 2 years
41:46
in this nation when we saw one miracle from the hand of God
41:51
after another. Week after week after week, you saw the miraculous
41:56
hand of Almighty God win and defeat Hezbollah,
41:59
defeat Iran, defeat in Yemen, defeat every enemy
42:03
on 7 front wars. We watched the Bible
42:07
play out for the last 2 years, and God was
42:11
victorious over Israel's enemies. And just as
42:14
we have the, the weakest of all enemies, Hamas,
42:18
And Israel's about to go in and defeat them because again,
42:21
Israel was handcuffed. We, the United States,
42:25
we were the bad guys for the last 2 years under the Biden
42:29
administration. America handcuffed Israel and told them, you're not
42:33
allowed to win, you can't win. And we denied them ammunition.
42:37
We denied them weapons. We made Israel's life miserable.
42:41
That was under Joe Biden. Then when President Trump came in,
42:44
it took a long time to ramp up to get them the weapons. And the
42:47
ammunition. But then weirdly, out of nowhere,
42:51
Jared Kushner reenters the scene. What, what had he been
42:54
doing? He, he struck a $2.5 billion deal with the Saudis
42:59
and the Qataris when President Trump left office the first
43:03
time. Okay, that's his thing. That's what he's doing. But you're going to bring him
43:06
back in to negotiate the deal?
43:09
Somebody who has, has financial arrangements on
43:13
the line and is a junior business partner of Saudi Arabia
43:17
that's clearly been involved in terrorism against the United States,
43:20
and Qatar, which is actively involved in terrorism. And you
43:25
should know this, by the way. You wonder why American students,
43:29
Christians, conservatives have turned against Israel?
43:32
I'll tell you why. It's because for the last 2 years,
43:36
it's documented, Qatar has spent over $200
43:40
billion With the billion dollars in
43:43
America targeting your kids and targeting you.
43:47
They spent it on American newsrooms, on influencers,
43:51
and in academic institutions. So all those riots at Columbia University
43:55
paid for courtesy of Qatar.
43:58
Not just Soros, Qatar.
44:02
Okay, so why is American policy that we're going to allow that?
44:05
Why is it that 2 weeks ago President Trump announced an executive
44:08
order that we, the United States, are going
44:12
to give a NATO-type guarantee to Qatar.
44:15
Anybody who attacks Qatar,
44:18
America is going to defend Qatar. In what universe?
44:22
Why? This just came out just this week.
44:25
It came out. I love Pete Hegseth. I went to
44:29
church with him since he was in high school. Beautiful believer. But he
44:33
had He had a meeting where he was with,
44:37
I think, his counterpart from Qatar, saying that now we are
44:41
going to host Qatari F-15s in Boise, Idaho,
44:45
on an American airbase. So why are we rewarding
44:49
the chief funder of terrorism, the nation that has housed
44:53
and hosted Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood,
44:57
a radical terrorist organization? Why are we rewarding
45:02
them when their goal is— and they've been propagandizing
45:06
our students against Israel. Why are we doing
45:10
this? So I'm asking these questions and thinking, I don't
45:14
know, I'm looking at this 20-point plan and they're talking about taking away Israel's
45:19
land, which would violate Joel chapter 3, that's right, verses 1 through 3,
45:23
and perhaps take away control, or at least
45:27
at minimum allowing Israel the right to take—
45:31
to annex, which means to put their sovereignty
45:35
over Judea-Samaria. Which since 1967,
45:39
Israel owned Gaza and they've owned Judea-Samaria.
45:43
So under international law, this is their land. And now
45:48
it looks like under the Trump plan, The plan is saying,
45:52
yeah, Israel, you've owned it since '67, but Gaza, we're gonna sever
45:55
that off and we're gonna give it to Qatar and we're gonna
45:59
give it to Saudi Arabia and we're gonna give it to all these wealthy Arabs.
46:03
You paid the blood and treasure, but we're giving it to them.
46:06
In what universe? And Judea,
46:09
Samaria. In what universe? So I'm
46:13
looking at this thinking, oh,
46:16
This isn't political, this is biblical. And so what's
46:21
going to happen to the United States of America?
46:24
Because God is no respecter of persons. We will
46:27
not mock Him when it comes to His people.
46:31
And, and again, Pastor Jack has been brilliant to teach
46:34
his congregation about the times that we're living in.
46:38
These are prophetic days as we're looking at all these convergence
46:42
of events that are happening that the Bible predicts.
46:45
This is when we want to sit up and fly right and
46:49
make sure that we're part of the 5 virgins with full oil lamps right
46:54
now, because the King is coming. That's right.
46:59
I'm glad a woman delivered that message just now,
47:03
because wow. Well, I won't be invited
47:07
to the White House for Christmas, I can tell you that. No, but you're— and
47:10
I don't mean to be mean. I honestly, I'm not mean. I'm not. I think
47:14
we have to be, we have to be truthful. And what we're looking at this
47:19
is from the biblical lens of how things should be. And,
47:23
and I agree with Michelle's analysis of the 20-point plan. In fact,
47:27
we've communicated our concerns to the White House.
47:31
Any effort that would take a an official
47:35
position that would divide the land puts America in a very
47:39
dangerous place. It's judgment against God. If you've read
47:43
Bill Koenig's book Eye to Eye, he documents the
47:47
consequences of dividing the land, and they're ferocious.
47:51
So we don't want to see the United States put in that position of judgment.
47:56
In fact, the scripture says— you referred to Joel God
48:00
says in the end when he returns that he will draw the nations into the
48:04
Valley of Jehoshaphat and judge them for dividing
48:08
up my land and selling my
48:12
people as though they were chattel, using the Jew
48:15
for whatever and dividing up. He says not the Jewish land.
48:19
He says it's my land. And of course, that's what he said to
48:22
Abraham. It's my land. I'm prom— I'm making you a promise, but it's
48:25
it's my land. But what she said is exactly
48:29
spot-on, and it should cause all of us as Americans to tremble
48:33
in the sense for our nation. Remember, we were talking about Jefferson just the other
48:37
day. Yeah, that he— Jefferson said, I tremble when I think that
48:40
God's wrath— that's written on the Jefferson Monument.
48:43
Yes, we see. I tremble for the nation when I think that we would expose
48:48
ourselves to the wrath of God when we violate his word, that God's
48:51
judgment judgment or wrath will not always sleep. Um,
48:56
what becomes of the United States if, um,
49:00
if we participate in leading Israel
49:04
down the wrong path is, is remarkable to me
49:07
for just many reasons but this one: to whom much is given,
49:11
much is required. This nation has been given more than any other
49:15
nation in all of human history, and if we turn Israel.
49:19
I believe in short order— I don't mean 100 years,
49:23
I don't think 50 years— I think in short order you
49:27
will see the hand of God's judgment fall upon this Christ-rejecting
49:31
nation. And I think the only thing that spares this nation
49:35
from imminent judgment is the presence of the believers.
49:38
Yeah, that is what
49:44
I want to go to next, because I want to lay out just a little
49:47
context here. And I'll just put this out here as informational points, and the
49:51
Holy Spirit can lead you to process it. Um, as you— I wouldn't
49:55
give it to AI, but I would give it to the Holy Spirit. Um,
49:59
so in, in— I've, as I've talked
50:02
about, I've been around here for a while in Washington,
50:05
D.C., and I was a part of the conversations back in 2000 2004
50:09
when the Bush administration and
50:13
Prime Minister Sharon was convinced, you know,
50:17
they had made the decision to disengage from Gaza.
50:21
And they were— they got the evangelicals together in Washington
50:25
to convince us that that was a good idea. And I was relatively new,
50:29
so I didn't say a whole lot, but I did raise my hand and say,
50:31
you know, I think that's kind of contrary to what the Bible says is going
50:35
to Oh no, no, this is going to be peace. This is going to be
50:38
peace because we're gonna, we're gonna give them Gaza
50:42
as a place, and so it's gonna bring about peace. So there was a disengagement.
50:45
They actually literally, they, they dug up the graves of the Jewish people
50:49
that were there. They bulldozed the homes and they, they took them out. That,
50:53
that happened on August 23rd. It was,
50:56
it was a 2-day where they got all the people out.
51:00
That was August 23rd of 2005.
51:04
August 25th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina
51:08
hit America. The— to this day, the most expensive
51:11
natural disaster in history.
51:16
Michelle was in the White House. I was there in January,
51:20
January 28th of 2020, when President Trump revealed
51:24
his peace plan that envisioned division of the land.
51:28
This was Jared Kushner's plan for the peace process, and it
51:32
was a list of everything that the Arab countries had to do, but if they
51:36
did, then they would get Judea-Samaria,
51:40
and it envisioned division of the land. And I remember my heart sunk
51:44
to my toes as I sat in the third row. Alan Dershowitz is in front
51:48
of me, and Mike Pompeo was in front of him, and President Trump was up
51:51
there with a big, map of what it would look like, the division
51:55
of the land. And I thought, are you flipping kidding me? I couldn't believe it.
51:59
And it was less than 24 hours later that
52:04
the COVID task force was set up with Fauci
52:08
at the head, and President Trump lost control of his
52:11
presidency and then lost the election. Benjamin Netanyahu
52:15
was up there. He was in agreement with the plan. He lost his prime
52:19
ministership that week. Wow. Because the police
52:22
brought charges against him, he lost
52:26
his prime ministership. They had 5 elections.
52:31
They went 4 elections with no, no government. No government.
52:35
It never happened before in Israeli history. It was devastating
52:38
to Israel. And on the 5th, he came back in as prime
52:43
minister. So the United States suffered trillions of dollars of
52:46
loss from COVID easily $5 trillion if not $6
52:51
trillion in loss. And you know what we all went through with that. And look
52:55
at Israel, the price Israel paid in their own society.
52:59
And so isn't it unique? I mean, just step back for a second.
53:03
This happened— this level of Joel 3 judgment
53:08
happened in not only in our lifetime, like 5 years
53:11
ago this judgment happened, and then God allowed supernaturally—
53:15
how often would you see a coincidence like this? Let me give you one
53:19
more data point before you come to a conclusion. You were doing great. I was
53:24
on a roll. You were really— I can't finish it, it's his fault.
53:27
But I'm going to give her a little more fodder. It was 20 days ago
53:31
that the 20-point plan was unveiled.
53:34
2 days later, what happened? Government shutdown.
53:38
Government shutdown.
