Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Gary Stearman and this is Prophecy Watchers. Today
- 0:06Speaker 1: I'm holding two books in my hands and we're going
- 0:10Speaker 1: to talk about those books. One is called Islamic Rivalry.
- 0:14Speaker 1: The other is called, listen to this title, Lepanto II,
- 0:19Speaker 1: Turkey and the Battle of Armageddon. And both of them
- 0:22Speaker 1: were written by Our guest today, Avi Lipkin. Avi, welcome
- 0:27Speaker 1: back to Prophecy Watchers.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Great to be back. Great to be back.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Always good to talk to you. And I'd like to
- 0:33Speaker 1: discuss your books because they are so current in their meanings,
- 0:39Speaker 1: in their backgrounding of what's going on in the Middle
- 0:42Speaker 1: East right now.
- 0:43Speaker 2: We are living in the times of the fulfillment of
- 0:48Speaker 2: more Bible prophecy than ever before in 2000 years. There
- 0:53Speaker 2: are so many things that are happening. And one of
- 0:56Speaker 2: the things I wanted to talk about first is about
- 0:59Speaker 2: the Druze who live in Israel. There are four countries
- 1:03Speaker 2: that host the Druze, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. Jordan
- 1:08Speaker 2: is not very much in the news. Israel has a very,
- 1:12Speaker 2: very warm population of Druze citizens. They are really the
- 1:18Speaker 2: best fighters in the Israeli army. They are loyal to Israel.
- 1:24Speaker 2: And by the way, the Druze in Lebanon are loyal
- 1:27Speaker 2: to Lebanon and the Druze in Syria are loyal to Syria.
- 1:32Speaker 2: At least they were. And in 1967, the Israeli Druze
- 1:39Speaker 2: officers went up to the Golan Heights and told the
- 1:43Speaker 2: Syrian Druze in the Golan Heights not to flee, not
- 1:47Speaker 2: to leave their homes. They would be protected by the
- 1:49Speaker 2: Israeli government. And so they stayed. The Muslims, however, of
- 1:54Speaker 2: the Golan Heights fled into Syria. And the Golan Heights
- 2:00Speaker 2: since then has been ruled over by Israel. We tried
- 2:05Speaker 2: convincing these Druze to take Israeli citizenship, Israeli passports, and
- 2:09Speaker 2: they did not want to because they were connected to
- 2:12Speaker 2: Syria still through marriage. And the top officers in the
- 2:17Speaker 2: Syrian army under Hafez al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad who were Shiite,
- 2:24Speaker 2: these Druze who lived there were part of the Shiite
- 2:27Speaker 2: leadership and coalition together with the Christians of Syria. And
- 2:33Speaker 2: there was a massive civil war. And that's what is
- 2:35Speaker 2: written in my book, the Islamic rivalries between the Shiites
- 2:38Speaker 2: and the Sunnis.
- 2:40Speaker 1: And right now for the average American like me watching
- 2:44Speaker 1: television news, our attention has been shifted to Iran. But
- 2:50Speaker 1: the territories you're speaking of, the countries you're speaking of,
- 2:53Speaker 1: the populations that you are writing about here aren't in Iran. Correct.
- 3:00Speaker 1: And yet they're very, very important.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Very correct. And the war with Iran, in other words,
- 3:07Speaker 2: the war between Israel and Iran and America and Iran
- 3:11Speaker 2: directly affect all the groups in Syria, Lebanon, Israel, the
- 3:15Speaker 2: whole Middle East. But what I wanted to stress was
- 3:18Speaker 2: that with the fall of the Shiite Christian Druze Alliance
- 3:25Speaker 2: in Damascus. If you remember the Turks who are Sunni
- 3:30Speaker 2: sent in this terrorist, Ahmed al-Shahra, Julani, and all of
- 3:36Speaker 2: the Alliance soldiers fled because the old new enemy, the Sunnis,
- 3:44Speaker 2: were backed by the Turks, When that happened and the
- 3:48Speaker 2: Sunnis took over in Syria, and the Sunnis are the majority,
- 3:51Speaker 2: by the way, they came to slaughter the Druze. Now
- 3:57Speaker 2: the Druze in Syria are demanding Israeli citizenship, the areas
- 4:04Speaker 2: that Israel controls. And they're demanding that Israel annex all
- 4:09Speaker 2: these areas. In Lebanon, the Christians and the Druze are
- 4:13Speaker 2: demanding that Israel annex the south of Lebanon, otherwise they
- 4:19Speaker 2: will be slaughtered by the Sunni Muslims and in Lebanon,
- 4:22Speaker 2: the Shiites, then the Sunnis. The Shiites are 15% of Islam.
- 4:29Speaker 2: The Sunnis are 85% of Islam. I would surmise that
- 4:35Speaker 2: it would behoove the Shiites to be allies of Israel
- 4:39Speaker 2: because they are in the minority and the Sunnis wanna
- 4:42Speaker 2: wipe them out. Together with that, the Sunnis want to
- 4:46Speaker 2: wipe out the Druze and the Christians. As the founder
- 4:50Speaker 2: and head of the Judeo-Christian Bible Block Party, my sympathies
- 4:55Speaker 2: are with the Druze and the Christians, and even the Shiites,
- 4:59Speaker 2: even though the fanatic Shiite regime is an enemy, I
- 5:03Speaker 2: think that the Shiite regime in Iran will be overthrown.
- 5:08Speaker 2: There are Israeli boots on the ground. And we are
- 5:11Speaker 2: training and arming the Iranian Shiite protesters to overthrow the
- 5:16Speaker 2: IRGC terrorist regime. I think President Trump will go down
- 5:21Speaker 2: in history at the end of the day as the
- 5:23Speaker 2: liberator of Iran, of the Iranian people. And 3,500 years,
- 5:28Speaker 2: we have a very excellent relationship between Iran and the Israelis.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Quickly, I want to ask you now, is that the
- 5:35Speaker 1: Israeli attitude in general, the words you just spoke? Do most...
- 5:40Speaker 1: Israelis today think that.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Absolutely correct. This whole IRGC terrorist regime for 47 years
- 5:50Speaker 2: is an anomaly. It doesn't belong. The Iranians under the
- 5:55Speaker 2: Shah and before that were always good friends of Israel.
- 5:58Speaker 2: There is a genuine love. Again, going back to Cyrus.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Cyrus is described 3,500 years ago in the Bible as
- 6:07Speaker 2: the messiah. because he helped the Jews to go home
- 6:10Speaker 2: and rebuild their temple. In 614 AD, a Persian army
- 6:16Speaker 2: came and defeated the Byzantines and the Arabs. And then later,
- 6:22Speaker 2: the Arabs came and defeated the Persians and Islamicized them
- 6:26Speaker 2: as Shiite Muslims. By the way, we will talk about
- 6:30Speaker 2: Turkey in a slightly different approach soon. The Turks were
- 6:34Speaker 2: also Muslims. Sunni Muslims who came in from an area
- 6:40Speaker 2: north of the Caspian Sea, they conquered Anatolia. The Greek
- 6:45Speaker 2: Byzantines were totally disunited and they were stabbing each other
- 6:49Speaker 2: in the back. And so the Byzantine regime was conquered.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Anatolia was conquered by these Turks who came in, but
- 6:58Speaker 2: they're Sunnis. And they want to replace Shiite Iran as
- 7:03Speaker 2: the next evil empire, as the caliphate. And so when
- 7:08Speaker 2: we talk about the next book, we're gonna talk about
- 7:11Speaker 2: the plan of Turkey to resurrect the caliphate and to
- 7:17Speaker 2: come to destroy Israel. This will be the Armageddon.
- 7:19Speaker 1: And I take it that what you're saying is the
- 7:22Speaker 1: viewpoint held by majority of Israelis.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I think there was a German military strategist by the
- 7:30Speaker 2: name von Clausewitz, and he said that peace is the
- 7:34Speaker 2: interim between the wars. So we have a constant situation
- 7:38Speaker 2: of wars simmering under the surface. If we are not
- 7:42Speaker 2: in full war, we are in partial war or preparing
- 7:46Speaker 2: for war. You have to remember another thing, very important,
- 7:49Speaker 2: and I wanted to stress this. America had something in
- 7:53Speaker 2: its history called Manifest Destiny.
- 7:55Speaker 3: Yes.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Where the colonists were pushing westward and whenever they were
- 8:00Speaker 2: attacked by the Indians, you know, by the Native Americans.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Go west, young man, go west.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Yes, until they reached the Pacific. Russia, Imperial Russia, had
- 8:09Speaker 2: a manifest destiny also reaching the Pacific Ocean, going eastward. Israel,
- 8:15Speaker 2: I believe, has a manifest destiny. In other words, we
- 8:19Speaker 2: are attacked over and over and over again by the
- 8:22Speaker 2: same people, and American presidents make us return territories that
- 8:26Speaker 2: we conquered in our own self-defense. And even today, President
- 8:30Speaker 2: Trump has gone on record as saying that Israel should
- 8:33Speaker 2: withdraw from Lebanon a fourth time. And Israel should withdraw
- 8:37Speaker 2: from Gaza a fourth time. And Israel should withdraw from Syria.
- 8:41Speaker 2: And all this has been happening over and over again.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Every time Israel listens to the American president and withdraws,
- 8:49Speaker 2: the enemies pull right up to the borders again and
- 8:52Speaker 2: start attacking us again. And we should never forget Bashar
- 8:57Speaker 2: al-Assad and Hafez al-Assad who have said, we can lose
- 9:01Speaker 2: seven wars against Israel. We can lose 99 wars. All
- 9:05Speaker 2: we need is the 100th war and no more Israel. Wow.
- 9:10Speaker 1: We are talking with Avi Lipkin, who has a viewpoint
- 9:14Speaker 1: concerning Israel that you need to listen to. Right now,
- 9:18Speaker 1: it's time to pause and tell you how you can
- 9:21Speaker 1: get your copy of our monthly magazine, The Prophecy Watcher.
- 9:26Speaker 3: The prophets of the Bible predicted a series of end-time wars,
- 9:29Speaker 3: and we're seeing the final pieces of the puzzle fall
- 9:31Speaker 3: into place. Russia, China, Iran... Syria, Turkey, the enemies of
- 9:37Speaker 3: Israel are on the doorstep, just as the Bible predicted
- 9:40Speaker 3: some 2,500 years ago. The Prophecy Watcher magazine includes the

- 11:06Speaker 1: We are back with Avi Lipkin. who lives in Israel
- 11:10Speaker 1: and who plays, I think, a very large role in
- 11:14Speaker 1: our viewpoint of what's happening in Israel. We've watched you.
- 11:19Speaker 1: We have listened to you, Avi, now for years. And
- 11:22Speaker 1: I very much value your perspective on what's actually happening
- 11:27Speaker 1: in Israel.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Likewise.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Thank you. Now, where should we go from here? What
- 11:34Speaker 1: I would like is for you to.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Build an attitude, if you will, in the minds of
- 11:40Speaker 1: the average American. What should we be thinking about Israel?
- 11:44Speaker 2: Okay, firstly, do Christians have a role? Is Israel important
- 11:50Speaker 2: for the Christians? And the answer is yes, because Messiah
- 11:55Speaker 2: is coming or returning to Jerusalem, to the Mount of Olives,
- 11:59Speaker 2: for the Jews and the Christians. Indeed. And so if
- 12:03Speaker 2: the Muslims win, God forbid, the Messiah... will be a
- 12:07Speaker 2: Muslim coming to kill the Jews on Saturday and kill
- 12:11Speaker 2: the Christians on Sunday. So I don't think that's the Messiah.
- 12:14Speaker 1: I think you're joking.
- 12:17Speaker 2: And, you know, I appreciate very much you having me because,
- 12:20Speaker 2: as you know, I'm a criminal. I have a three-year
- 12:23Speaker 2: jail sentence in Switzerland for saying that Allah, the God
- 12:26Speaker 2: of Islam, is not the God of the Jews and
- 12:28Speaker 2: the Christians. You know, a lot of people think he is.
- 12:32Speaker 2: He is not the God of the Jews and the Christians.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Allah is Satan. Allah is Lucifer. And Islam is not
- 12:39Speaker 2: a religion, but a criminal psychosis bent on the destruction
- 12:43Speaker 2: of the entire human race. They want to kill the
- 12:47Speaker 2: Jews on Saturday because the Jews are the Saturday people.
- 12:50Speaker 2: They want to kill the Christians on Sunday because the
- 12:52Speaker 2: Christians are the Sunday people. They want to kill the Hindus.
- 12:55Speaker 2: They want to kill the Buddhists and the blacks in
- 12:57Speaker 2: Africa because they're pagans. And then what happens is when
- 13:01Speaker 2: five-sixths of the human race is killed and one-sixth remains,
- 13:05Speaker 2: that's the Muslims. But the Muslims kill the Muslims because
- 13:08Speaker 2: the Shiites kill the Sunnis and the Sunnis kill the Shiites.
- 13:10Speaker 2: And then the Sunnis kill the Sunnis and the Shiites
- 13:12Speaker 2: kill the Shiites. And nobody is safe. Everyone must die
- 13:16Speaker 2: because Allah wants to kill every human being because we
- 13:21Speaker 2: are in the image of whom? Of God. And Allah
- 13:24Speaker 2: is Satan. Allah is another God with a small g.
- 13:28Speaker 2: This is in my books. I'm very clear about this.
- 13:30Speaker 2: And praise God, I never went to jail in Switzerland,
- 13:33Speaker 2: but it looks like I'm not going back for a
- 13:35Speaker 2: long time.
- 13:36Speaker 1: I'd like to talk about Turkey for a little while.
- 13:40Speaker 1: This book is entitled Lepanto II, Turkey and the Battle
- 13:44Speaker 1: of Armageddon. Turkey has been popping up in the news
- 13:49Speaker 1: from time to time in the last couple of months.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And we keep hearing bits and pieces, little fragmentary news
- 13:56Speaker 1: items about how they are joining in the fray in
- 14:02Speaker 1: the Middle East. But Turkey, by and large, to the
- 14:06Speaker 1: average American, is kind of a backwater. It's not very important.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Or if you hear about it at all, it's, well,
- 14:15Speaker 1: it's a little bit of information, but I'd rather hear
- 14:18Speaker 1: about something else or someplace else. Tell us about Turkey.
- 14:24Speaker 2: You know, I have to correct you. I love you
- 14:27Speaker 2: very much, but I have to correct you. We did
- 14:29Speaker 2: a show on Turkey five, six years ago. And we
- 14:34Speaker 2: were talking about Turkey even then.
- 14:36Speaker 1: We were, and I remember that show.
- 14:38Speaker 2: And this book, I'll never forget, you know, Bob and
- 14:42Speaker 2: everyone was saying to me, so when are you bringing
- 14:44Speaker 2: a book about Turkey? And then three years ago, the
- 14:47Speaker 2: war broke out in Gaza. And my wife and I
- 14:50Speaker 2: were dodging missiles in Israel. And I wrote the book,
- 14:54Speaker 2: but I wrote it a little bit piecemeal day by day.
- 14:57Speaker 2: You know, women give birth after nine months. I gave
- 14:59Speaker 2: birth to these two books after three years. Turkey is
- 15:04Speaker 2: becoming increasingly fanatic as a Sunni caliphate country.
- 15:10Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to hear you say, because
- 15:12Speaker 1: we don't have that idea currently in our heads in America.
- 15:17Speaker 1: We're not watching Turkey very much. And I do remember
- 15:20Speaker 1: our conversation some years ago, and Turkey was like a backwater.
- 15:24Speaker 1: And that was the point I was trying to make,
- 15:26Speaker 1: but no longer.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Absolutely no longer. The Turks look at Lepanto I, the battle,
- 15:34Speaker 2: the defeat of the Turkish Navy, in April of 1571.
- 15:39Speaker 2: You know, the funny thing, I think it's funny, because
- 15:42Speaker 2: here in America, America is a Protestant country, and you
- 15:46Speaker 2: all heard of the Spanish Armada in 1588. But 17
- 15:50Speaker 2: years before, there was a tremendous battle in which the
- 15:54Speaker 2: Catholic Holy Alliance fleet of Spain, Venice, and Genoa sank
- 15:59Speaker 2: the whole Turkish fleet in one day, and the Turks
- 16:02Speaker 2: were so angry that as punishment, they said to the Catholics,
- 16:05Speaker 2: you have to rebuild our fleet for us completely, which
- 16:08Speaker 2: they did, and you have to surrender Cyprus. So the
- 16:12Speaker 2: British in 1878 had a war with the Turks, the French,
- 16:16Speaker 2: the British, and the Russians, and Britain took Cyprus, strategically
- 16:23Speaker 2: important island, as a British protectorate, just as the British
- 16:27Speaker 2: took Hong Kong. 99-year lease, and they said to the Turks,
- 16:33Speaker 2: We will return it to you in 99 years, which
- 16:35Speaker 2: was 1977. Has Cyprus returned to the Turkish rule? No,
- 16:42Speaker 2: and it won't. And so the Turks in 1974 invaded
- 16:47Speaker 2: the northern Cyprus. And then one day they took 40%
- 16:50Speaker 2: of the island. And my Greek Cypriot friends, my Christian
- 16:55Speaker 2: friends in Cyprus says the Turks are waiting to take
- 16:57Speaker 2: the rest of the island. What is Israel's response? The
- 17:00Speaker 2: Israeli army says, is in Christian Cyprus defending them in
- 17:04Speaker 2: an alliance with the Greek Cypriots and the Greeks. At
- 17:07Speaker 2: the same time, we found gas, natural gas, and Israel
- 17:12Speaker 2: is now helping to overcome these shortages in Europe. There's
- 17:17Speaker 2: a pipeline going from Israel to Cyprus to Greece to Italy.
- 17:20Speaker 1: And that location, the location of that discovery of natural gas? Yes.
- 17:27Speaker 2: This is on the borders, the maritime border, between Israel
- 17:31Speaker 2: and Cyprus. And the Cypriot government is very happy with
- 17:35Speaker 2: the income from that gas. The Greeks are very happy,
- 17:39Speaker 2: but the Turks are saying, no, Cyprus belongs to us
- 17:43Speaker 2: because the British took it from us in 1878. We
- 17:47Speaker 2: want it back. And they are ready to go to
- 17:49Speaker 2: war just for that. So Israel is very careful. If
- 17:53Speaker 2: Cyprus falls to the Turks, and the Egyptians close off
- 17:56Speaker 2: their air borders, Israel will not be able to fly
- 17:59Speaker 2: west over the Mediterranean anymore.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Wow. Given this layout, which is quite complex, but given
- 18:07Speaker 1: the situation now, what's your prediction?
- 18:10Speaker 2: My prediction is that the Turks are preparing for an
- 18:14Speaker 2: invasion of the rest of Cyprus, which Israel cannot accept.
- 18:19Speaker 2: And by the way, 500,000 Christians on the island of
- 18:24Speaker 2: Greece will be wiped out by the Turks. The Turks
- 18:27Speaker 2: have this knack for killing Christians. So we have to
- 18:30Speaker 2: be ready to defend Cyprus together with the Christians, build
- 18:34Speaker 2: the alliance with Greece, and I think the United States
- 18:39Speaker 2: needs to pay closer attention to the threat of Turkey.
- 18:42Speaker 1: What will this do to Iran?
- 18:44Speaker 2: Iran will be finished by then. Iran, the Shiite country,
- 18:48Speaker 2: which is not a friend of Turkey, they're like so-so,
- 18:53Speaker 2: But I believe Iran ultimately will be an ally of Israel.
- 18:57Speaker 2: It will be an ally of America. I think it
- 19:01Speaker 2: will be a democracy. The Iranian people are brilliant people,
- 19:04Speaker 2: very smart, hardworking people. They have computers. They know what's
- 19:09Speaker 2: going on in the world. And I think the Iranians
- 19:11Speaker 2: are saying, you know, we want Judeo-Christian Western civilization and democracy.
- 19:17Speaker 2: And also the conversion of a lot of Muslims to
- 19:20Speaker 2: Christianity is something we should be watching also.
- 19:23Speaker 1: We hear in America about the leadership in Iran for
- 19:27Speaker 1: the last few years. They are murderers, if they are
- 19:30Speaker 1: nothing else. Mass murderers. I can't quite recite the numbers
- 19:36Speaker 1: of thousands of people.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Tens of thousands.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Have been killed for apparently no reason at all.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Well, yes, there is a reason because these are murderers.
- 19:45Speaker 2: These are Nazis in the Iranian form of Nazism. And
- 19:48Speaker 2: they were... not tolerate any dissent. And you know, in Germany,
- 19:53Speaker 2: in Nazi Germany, anyone who got up and said, well,
- 19:56Speaker 2: I don't agree with Nazism, they were sent to the
- 19:58Speaker 2: concentration camps. And I will never forget a radio show
- 20:02Speaker 2: with Michael Savage, where he said, anyone who denies the
- 20:06Speaker 2: Jewish Holocaust is guilty of two sins, denying the Jewish
- 20:10Speaker 2: Holocaust and denying the Christian Holocaust, because Hitler killed seven
- 20:14Speaker 2: million German Christians who opposed him. That's why there were
- 20:18Speaker 2: no Christians in Germany to defend the Jews when it
- 20:21Speaker 2: was all happening, because he took care of the Christians
- 20:24Speaker 2: in Dachau in 1933 already. They were killing Christians.
- 20:28Speaker 1: The horrors of that period, World War II period, and
- 20:32Speaker 1: Germany and Russia and so forth, it's in the back
- 20:36Speaker 1: of our minds, but What you're doing is fast-forwarding to
- 20:41Speaker 1: right now and showing us that those same hatred qualities,
- 20:50Speaker 1: the qualities of hatred are still there.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Correct. And the Turks are closely coordinating their plans for
- 20:57Speaker 2: war with Israel, with Egypt. And so we have to
- 21:00Speaker 2: watch that very closely because the Egyptians will close the
- 21:03Speaker 2: airspace from the south. The Turks will close the airspace
- 21:06Speaker 2: from the north. Israeli planes will not be able to
- 21:08Speaker 2: take off. Israel will be cut off. So I'm warning
- 21:13Speaker 2: the American government not to give them the F-35s. Turkey
- 21:18Speaker 2: has to be very closely followed by U.S. and Israeli intelligence.
- 21:23Speaker 2: And I'm sure the Israelis will give American intelligence all
- 21:26Speaker 2: the information they need.
- 21:28Speaker 1: We're talking with Avi Lipkin. Right now we're going to
- 21:30Speaker 1: pause and let you know how that you can get
- 21:35Speaker 1: Avi's book.
- 21:38Speaker 4: It's always an education and an eye-opening history lesson when
- 21:41Speaker 4: our old friend Avi Lipkin joins us, all the way
- 21:44Speaker 4: from the land of Israel. We've known Avi and his
- 21:47Speaker 4: son Aaron for the past 25 years and value their
- 21:50Speaker 4: unique insights into something few Americans understand. What it's like
- 21:55Speaker 4: to be a Jew, completely surrounded by enemies in your
- 21:58Speaker 4: own land, whose ultimate goal is no Israel, no matter
- 22:02Speaker 4: how long it takes. Mondo and Daniel Wright will be
- 22:05Speaker 4: leading another tour of Israel next March 3rd through the 14th.
- 22:09Speaker 4: So if you've always wanted to set foot in the
- 22:11Speaker 4: Holy Land, here's your chance to walk in the footsteps
- 22:14Speaker 4: of Jesus with the Lipkin Tour Group. Visit the Lipkin's
- 22:18Speaker 4: registration website at visitisraeltoday.com for all the details. Students of
- 22:23Speaker 4: Bible prophecy are well aware of Turkey's involvement in the
- 22:26Speaker 4: soon-coming Ezekiel 38 attack on Israel, the Battle of Gog
- 22:30Speaker 4: and Magog. But very few people understand the background that
- 22:34Speaker 4: brings Turkey into the last day's war. Avi is one
- 22:38Speaker 4: of the few people warning the world about Turkey's intense
- 22:41Speaker 4: hatred of Israel and their plans for this future attack.
- 22:44Speaker 4: And as you've heard today, he has a deep understanding
- 22:47Speaker 4: of the Islamic threat to America and the world. Avi's
- 22:51Speaker 4: new book, Lepanto II, Turkey and the Battle of Armageddon,
- 22:54Speaker 4: and his insightful prophetic look into the future, Islamic Rivalry,
- 22:58Speaker 4: takes us back in time to the roots of the
- 23:00Speaker 4: Islamic and Turkish conflicts. It lays the groundwork for the
- 23:04Speaker 4: battles between Iran and Israel and teaches the American public
- 23:08Speaker 4: why the Sunnis and the Shiites continue to battle each
- 23:11Speaker 4: other for Middle East domination. Turkey's goal of restoring the
- 23:14Speaker 4: Islamic caliphate lies at the center of this regional nightmare
- 23:17Speaker 4: with one common enemy, Israel. Each book is available for
- 23:22Speaker 4: your gift of $ 25 or more with shipping included in
- 23:25Speaker 4: the USA. When you ask for both of Avi's books
- 23:28Speaker 4: in the Turkey and Armageddon package, available for your gift
- 23:31Speaker 4: of $ 50 or more, we have a special bonus, a
- 23:35Speaker 4: set of four DVDs on the Battle of Gog and
- 23:37Speaker 4: Magog and the coming attack on Israel, produced by Mondo

- 24:39Speaker 4: a plan for your life. God bless.
- 24:44Speaker 1: And we're back with Avi Lipkin. We've just got about
- 24:46Speaker 1: three minutes now. And, uh, Avi, three minutes is hardly
- 24:51Speaker 1: anything in the light of what you have been saying,
- 24:54Speaker 1: because we here in America have a different historical perspective.
- 25:00Speaker 1: And for us to put together all the little pieces
- 25:02Speaker 1: that you have so easily is not a common thing. Uh,
- 25:08Speaker 1: we really, for obvious reasons are not terribly, um, involved
- 25:14Speaker 1: with Middle East politics. Americans in general kind of say, well,
- 25:18Speaker 1: that's over there and we're over here. But as I
- 25:21Speaker 1: listen to you, this is very important on our side
- 25:25Speaker 1: of the Atlantic as well.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Well, Israel belongs not only to the Jews. Israel belongs
- 25:31Speaker 2: to the Christians also. We Jews and Christians together are
- 25:37Speaker 2: called the people of the book. In Arabic, Ahel el Kitab.
- 25:41Speaker 2: which means we are the people of the Bible. And
- 25:45Speaker 2: for the Muslims, I know a lot of people will
- 25:48Speaker 2: grimace when I say this, but the Muslims say that
- 25:50Speaker 2: the Jews and the Christians are one people. And the
- 25:53Speaker 2: only difference is the Jews are the Saturday people and
- 25:56Speaker 2: the Christians are the Sunday people. So we will slaughter
- 25:59Speaker 2: the Jews on Saturday and we'll slaughter the Christians on Sunday.
- 26:02Speaker 2: And they are doing a very good job of killing Christians.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Avi Lipkin, where's it going in about a minute and
- 26:09Speaker 1: a half? What should we be watching for?
- 26:13Speaker 2: Well, I believe in God. I believe in the Bible.
- 26:16Speaker 2: And I believe that the borders of Israel are dictated
- 26:21Speaker 2: by the Bible, which are from the Nile to the
- 26:23Speaker 2: Euphrates and from Lebanon to the Great Desert. The Great
- 26:26Speaker 2: Desert is the whole peninsula of Arabia, including Yemen. By
- 26:30Speaker 2: the way, the Houthi government is trying to block off
- 26:33Speaker 2: the straits to shipping there too, from Egypt, from many countries.
- 26:37Speaker 2: So this is a war between good and evil. between
- 26:41Speaker 2: God and Satan. And America and Israel are the vanguard
- 26:46Speaker 2: of God's kingdom. And the enemy of God's kingdom is
- 26:50Speaker 2: Islam and the Islamic countries. And they all wanna kill
- 26:53Speaker 2: the Jews and Christians. Even though we have the Abraham
- 26:55Speaker 2: Accords in their hearts, true Muslims wanna kill the Jews
- 26:59Speaker 2: on Saturday and Christians on Sunday.
- 27:01Speaker 1: We've got a little less than a minute. I have
- 27:02Speaker 1: a quick question for you. And in the light of
- 27:04Speaker 1: what you just said, Go to Washington, D.C. and talk
- 27:09Speaker 1: to the leaders there now. How many of them do
- 27:12Speaker 1: you think are conscious of the things you've been talking about?
- 27:16Speaker 2: Well, you know, there's a statistic I remember going back
- 27:20Speaker 2: 60 years. That 70% of Americans go to church on Sunday.
- 27:25Speaker 2: So I believe there is hope. They may not know
- 27:28Speaker 2: the details, but that's what you guys are here for.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Indeed. And that's why you are talking to us right
- 27:37Speaker 1: now because Ami has been involved in not just the politics,
- 27:42Speaker 1: but the interaction, societal and religious interactions in the Middle East.
- 27:48Speaker 1: It's always great talking with you.
- 27:50Speaker 2: I wanted to add also, your ministry has helped me
- 27:54Speaker 2: to sell my eight books. And my eight books have
- 27:59Speaker 2: all this information that I've accumulated all my life. So
- 28:02Speaker 2: I recommend they come here To Prophecy Watchers and get
- 28:06Speaker 2: all my books, which you carry.
- 28:08Speaker 1: I'll be Lipkin. Come back and see us again.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Amen.
- 28:11Speaker 1: I'm Gary Stearman. Hey, you keep watching. We are.
- 28:16Speaker 4: Prophecy Watchers is a viewer-supported ministry made possible through the
- 28:20Speaker 4: faithful support of friends like you. We would truly be
- 28:23Speaker 4: grateful for your financial support. You can give easily by
