Speaker 1: The Week in Bible Prophecy, a Prophecy Watchers podcast.
0:07
Speaker 2: Welcome to the podcast Everybody Mondo here with Bill Solace
0:11
Speaker 2: in studio.
0:11
Speaker 3: Welcome Bill, Hey, Mimo, thank you.
0:13
Speaker 2: You know, it is great having you here because we
0:16
Speaker 2: want to talk about not only just the news, but
0:19
Speaker 2: to give some background as well to some of the news,
0:21
Speaker 2: the current events that we're seeing biblically.
0:23
Speaker 4: And you have a new book coming out. What's the
0:26
Speaker 4: title of the new.
0:27
Speaker 3: Book, The Future War Prophecies?
0:29
Speaker 2: The Future War Prophecy, so which we've done some TV
0:32
Speaker 2: programs on that. But let's talk about some things that
0:35
Speaker 2: are happening right now that the Middle East is it
0:38
Speaker 2: has you know, again for one hundreds years, it wasn't
0:40
Speaker 2: a powder keg, but now it is a powder keg
0:42
Speaker 2: over the.
0:42
Speaker 4: Last generation for sure.
0:44
Speaker 2: And Iran just revealed with some pictures.
0:50
Speaker 3: Tell us here's the headline, tensions rise as Iran threatens.
0:54
Speaker 3: Israel reveals new underground base. Briefly what it says here
1:00
Speaker 3: and the title of the subcaptions is Iran officially revealed
1:03
Speaker 3: the first of its kind underground air base Tuesday, w
1:07
Speaker 3: Egle forty four, capable of housing fighter jets and long
1:10
Speaker 3: range cruise missiles first reported Iranian news outlet IRNA, which
1:15
Speaker 3: is interesting because November twenty twenty two they announce they
1:18
Speaker 3: have a hypersonic ballistic missile. It can reach Israel in
1:22
Speaker 3: four hundred seconds, which is six point sixty six minutes.
1:26
Speaker 3: And that type of missile, should it be housed in
1:28
Speaker 3: this underground military base here, could carry a nuclear weapon
1:32
Speaker 3: should they have one, and they're en route to try
1:34
Speaker 3: to get one.
1:35
Speaker 2: So you know, it brings us So here we have
1:37
Speaker 2: Iran not just saber rattling, but they're providing weapons for Russia.
1:42
Speaker 2: They're allowing their drones to be put in actual military
1:46
Speaker 2: combat to see how they function. So what people often
1:49
Speaker 2: forget is Iran is a major, major high tech military supplier.
1:55
Speaker 2: Their technology is pretty amazing.
1:58
Speaker 3: Absolutely seconds to get a hypersonic ballistic missile into Israel. Yeah,
2:03
Speaker 3: that's high tech.
2:04
Speaker 4: Yeah.
2:05
Speaker 2: And the chances of Israel with other you know, the
2:07
Speaker 2: Iron Dome or others stopping it, it's pretty slim.
2:09
Speaker 4: But you know what reminds me.
2:10
Speaker 2: Of let's talk about some of the theology here, because
2:13
Speaker 2: it reminds me of Zachary twelfth that Jerusalem would be
2:17
Speaker 2: this burdensome stone, this cup of trembling that and it
2:19
Speaker 2: would the nations would gather and they'd be frustrated with it.
2:24
Speaker 4: Right, and so you have Iran. What they're doing here
2:27
Speaker 4: is a.
2:27
Speaker 2: Great fulfillment of that passage because again, what is where
2:31
Speaker 2: are those missiles aimed? Well, maybe Saudi Arabia potentially, but
2:36
Speaker 2: primarily one place.
2:37
Speaker 3: And those missiles also would include the missiles of Iran's proxy.
2:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's yeah to explain that his brother's.
2:43
Speaker 3: Got probably a hundred fifty thousand missiles at this point,
2:45
Speaker 3: some precision guided bisharl Sad in Syria. He's used chemical
2:50
Speaker 3: weapons three hundred times in his revolution. Hamas has missiles
2:53
Speaker 3: from me Wro so Jerusalem, and Zachari twelve two says, behold,
2:57
Speaker 3: that will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling in some
3:00
Speaker 3: translations dizziness onto all the people round about. So it's
3:04
Speaker 3: not the word nations at large, but circumcomference around Israel
3:09
Speaker 3: when they try to they seize against both Judah and Jerusalem.
3:13
Speaker 3: The time will come now they've of course they've had
3:15
Speaker 3: wars with Israel in the past in forty eight, sixty seven,
3:18
Speaker 3: seventy three, But at time's going to come over to
3:20
Speaker 3: be a climactic including attempt till they seize on Judah
3:24
Speaker 3: and Jerusalem. And the prophecy goes on to talk matter
3:26
Speaker 3: of fact, you're in zech.
3:27
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
3:29
Speaker 3: Why don't you read Zechari twelve, verse six.
3:32
Speaker 2: It says, in that day I will make the governors
3:34
Speaker 2: of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like
3:37
Speaker 2: a fiery torch in the sheeves. They shall devour all
3:41
Speaker 2: the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left,
3:44
Speaker 2: but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in our own place, Jerusalem.
3:49
Speaker 3: So that's interesting that the Israeli defense forces, the captains
3:52
Speaker 3: are chieftains of Judah, are going to go forward and
3:55
Speaker 3: they're going to defeat like a fiery torch in a
3:58
Speaker 3: battle with the Sieves, which would be kindling for a
4:00
Speaker 3: fiery torch. All the nations round about, and of course
4:03
Speaker 3: I would include probably Tire up there. I think the
4:05
Speaker 3: saw many three countries that I get into in my
4:08
Speaker 3: Future War Prophecies book. Well, it's interesting to me is
4:12
Speaker 3: the Lord's going to do some supernatural intervention in that battle.
4:16
Speaker 3: It's interesting. In zach Ari twelve, why don't we take
4:18
Speaker 3: care look.
4:19
Speaker 4: Let's do this because I think this is kind of fun.
4:20
Speaker 2: Again, we're tying this together to current events, but we're
4:23
Speaker 2: seeing the things around the world which are indicative. And
4:27
Speaker 2: if we don't have a context of what we're doing
4:28
Speaker 2: here with scripture, we're going to go So what they
4:30
Speaker 2: have on underground base?
4:31
Speaker 4: No, there's a reason. So which passage you want me to.
4:33
Speaker 3: Well, why did you go? Let's break up Zachuari twelve
4:36
Speaker 3: four into three sections. Read the whole Zachquari twelve four,
4:38
Speaker 3: and then we'll go ABC on that.
4:40
Speaker 2: It says in that day says the Lord, I will
4:42
Speaker 2: strike every horse with confusion, and it's writer with madness.
4:46
Speaker 2: I will open my eyes on the house of Judah
4:49
Speaker 2: and will strike every horse of the people's with blindness.
4:53
Speaker 3: Right, So what's interesting in the Zechuari twelve four, A
4:57
Speaker 3: will say the first thing that's going to happen, the
5:00
Speaker 3: Lord's going to come in and strike every horse with confusion. Now,
5:02
Speaker 3: of course, in Zacharia's time, the horse would be the
5:05
Speaker 3: tanks and the artillery and that sort of thing. So
5:07
Speaker 3: I think what we have here. At first, it appears
5:10
Speaker 3: the Lord causes the air of artilleries the surrounding people's
5:13
Speaker 3: tanks and armored vehicles to malfunction, I will strike every
5:16
Speaker 3: horse with confusion.
5:18
Speaker 2: So well so when the time comes when I Ran
5:21
Speaker 2: does launch an attack for whatever reason, and and it's
5:25
Speaker 2: proxies again, Gaza Syria has belown the north when they come.
5:30
Speaker 2: This now is going to be God's response.
5:33
Speaker 3: When all the surrounding peoples, which should include those countries,
5:37
Speaker 3: like I said, I put those in Psaund three, that's
5:40
Speaker 3: God's going to get in the middle of that. He's
5:42
Speaker 3: going to He's going to level the playing field, the battlefield. Ultimately,
5:46
Speaker 3: it says in that day you read it in Zachuari
5:48
Speaker 3: twelve six. We read it in Zachari twelve four. In
5:50
Speaker 3: that day that those countries around about attempt to lay
5:53
Speaker 3: siege on Juden Jerusalem. The Lord's going to intervene. In fact,
5:56
Speaker 3: I'm going to read something very interesting talking about the malfunction.
6:00
Speaker 3: The Lord has the precedent typically and historically for that
6:04
Speaker 3: in Exodus chapter fourteen, verses twenty four through twenty five,
6:07
Speaker 3: when the Hebrews had their back against the Red Sea
6:09
Speaker 3: and the Exodus Pharaohs barreling down on them with his
6:12
Speaker 3: armies and the clouds in between them, the Lord's cloud.
6:18
Speaker 3: And it goes on to say this now came to
6:19
Speaker 3: pass in the morning watch that the Lord looked down
6:21
Speaker 3: upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of
6:23
Speaker 3: fire and cloud, and he troubled the army of the Egyptians.
6:27
Speaker 3: The Lord did, and he took off the chariot wheels
6:30
Speaker 3: so that they drove them with difficulty. So the Lord
6:34
Speaker 3: supernatural intervention the technology. Yeah, he's taking the lug nuts
6:37
Speaker 3: off of these Egyptian chariots. And those chariots were world renowned.
6:42
Speaker 3: Those Egyptian chariots are the best ones known to man
6:46
Speaker 3: at that time. And the Egyptians said, let us flee
6:50
Speaker 3: from the face of Israel. The Lord fights for them
6:52
Speaker 3: against the Egyptians. In other words, gave the Egyptians an
6:55
Speaker 3: opportunity to go. WHOA, maybe we shouldn't be doing this.
6:59
Speaker 3: God's mercy right, yep, But he's taking out the chariots. Now,
7:02
Speaker 3: of course we know the chariots, and the armies ultimately
7:05
Speaker 3: went into the Red Sea, hobbled in there on their
7:08
Speaker 3: chariots kept going out, and we had a malfunction that
7:11
Speaker 3: God created and the same thing we're talking about. Zachary
7:13
Speaker 3: twelve verse four A, so I would say, and then
7:17
Speaker 3: we go into read. The second thing is the writers
7:22
Speaker 3: with confusion. Let let me go there real quick.
7:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, with confusion. Every I will strike every horse with confusion,
7:28
Speaker 2: and it's rider with madness.
7:30
Speaker 3: Okay. So second, the second we've got the malfunctions going on.
7:33
Speaker 3: The second thing is they apparently create hysteria among the
7:36
Speaker 3: enemy soldiers like it did to the Egyptian the operators. Yeah,
7:39
Speaker 3: and there was like, oh no, what's going on? Right,
7:42
Speaker 3: I will create its riders with madness. Now, this reminds
7:44
Speaker 3: me of Judges seven twenty through twenty two. There were
7:49
Speaker 3: three companies of getting in three hundred men the devise
7:52
Speaker 3: them in three companies. They blew their trumpets, They broke
7:54
Speaker 3: the pictures that they had with them, A what a
7:57
Speaker 3: military ars and all, yeah, exact pictures. We got trumpets,
8:00
Speaker 3: we got torches inside of them. They had the torches
8:02
Speaker 3: in their left hand and the pictures and the trumpets
8:05
Speaker 3: in the right hands for blowing crazy battle right, this
8:09
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty thousand Midia knights, three hundred Gideons men,
8:13
Speaker 3: and they cried the sword of the Lord and of Gideon,
8:16
Speaker 3: and every man stood in his place around the camp,
8:18
Speaker 3: and the whole army of one hundred and twenty thousand
8:20
Speaker 3: Midiy Knights ran and cried out and fled. When the
8:23
Speaker 3: three hundred blew the trumpets, the Lord said, every Midiy
8:26
Speaker 3: knights man sword against his companion throughout the whole camp,
8:29
Speaker 3: and the panicstricken Midy Knights army fled. I had a
8:32
Speaker 3: few things. The panics chicken, Midia Knights armies fled. So
8:36
Speaker 3: madness right, In other words, there's blowing trumpets, light and torches,
8:42
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden madness comes and they start
8:43
Speaker 3: killing one another day. And so this was I think's
8:46
Speaker 3: going to happen here. There's been madness and Zechari twelve
8:49
Speaker 3: first four part B.
8:51
Speaker 2: Well, and let me just say this that when you
8:53
Speaker 2: study I took a class in college on modern Israel,
8:58
Speaker 2: and one things that we studied were the wars, and
9:02
Speaker 2: over and over and over there's testimony of miraculous things
9:05
Speaker 2: that God did for unbelieving Israel in order to get
9:09
Speaker 2: them back in the land, because God has an appointment
9:11
Speaker 2: during the tribulation with them. But all these other things
9:14
Speaker 2: where even God has done miracles and these these these
9:18
Speaker 2: Jewish fighters are like that don't necessarily believe in God.
9:21
Speaker 2: Are like, there's no way this could happen. One tank
9:24
Speaker 2: takes out a whole thing. For again, all these things happen.
9:26
Speaker 2: So God is actively protecting Israel because he has an
9:31
Speaker 2: appointment of destiny with him in the tribulation period.
9:34
Speaker 3: Right, And I'm going to have you read twelve five
9:36
Speaker 3: in just a moment. So there's Zechari twelve for C.
9:40
Speaker 3: We just talked about the malfunctions of the artilleries and things.
9:43
Speaker 3: We talked about asking to create madness within the troops
9:47
Speaker 3: that are invading them, trying to lay siege on Jude
9:49
Speaker 3: and Jerusalem. Part C says that there will be actually
9:54
Speaker 3: every horse will be of the people's will be struck
9:57
Speaker 3: with blindness. Okay, so now we've got now functions creates
10:01
Speaker 3: madness among the troops. And the third thing, the Lord
10:03
Speaker 3: will turn his favorite towards the idef somehow, and the
10:06
Speaker 3: guidance and radar capabilities the enemies tanks, jets, rockets, et cetera,
10:11
Speaker 3: will become disabled. Now this is my interpretation that could
10:14
Speaker 3: be wrong.
10:15
Speaker 4: Well, we're not doing an over literal.
10:16
Speaker 2: I mean, we re recognize the limits of what he's
10:19
Speaker 2: Zacharies writing in the fifth century BC, that he's speaking
10:23
Speaker 2: in terms of what the meaning rather than again the hyperliteral.
10:26
Speaker 2: So how do you see, Well, we see through radar,
10:29
Speaker 2: we see through sonar, we see through GPS. So these
10:32
Speaker 2: surveillance systems, imagine your communication done over, gone, removed.
10:39
Speaker 4: What does that do to an enemy?
10:40
Speaker 3: There artilleries malfunctioning. Yep, it's creating hysteria and madness and panic.
10:45
Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden, the radar systems are blindness,
10:48
Speaker 3: right yep. So by the time that you read Zacuary twelve,
10:52
Speaker 3: verse six, the governance the captains of Judah will be
10:55
Speaker 3: like a fiery torch. Look what's happened to the playing field?
10:58
Speaker 4: Right?
10:58
Speaker 3: The Lord has already got in. And then like loosen
11:00
Speaker 3: the lug that's off the Egyptian chariots. But against a
11:03
Speaker 3: modern day vernacular of those countries coming around Israel. Now
11:07
Speaker 3: I want you to Exectuary twelve five as we wind
11:09
Speaker 3: down on.
11:10
Speaker 2: This, Okay, it says, and the governors of Judah shall
11:13
Speaker 2: say in their heart, the inhabitants of Jerusalem are my
11:16
Speaker 2: strength and the Lord of Hosts their god right.
11:19
Speaker 3: So what does that do to the idf At that
11:21
Speaker 3: point in time. They just saw the Lord intervene. The
11:25
Speaker 3: troops will getting going madness the greater our capabilities are
11:28
Speaker 3: taken out, and now they're bold because that's a massive
11:31
Speaker 3: attack coming against Jerusalem, right Judah and Jerusalem. And that's
11:35
Speaker 3: when you read Zequar twelve six. They will actually win
11:37
Speaker 3: that war, and they will be like a fiery torch
11:40
Speaker 3: against the Sieves, and they will devour all those enemies
11:42
Speaker 3: on the right hand and on the left hand, very geographically
11:45
Speaker 3: specific the nations around Israel.
11:48
Speaker 2: So this doesn't now let me say this, this doesn't
11:50
Speaker 2: mean that they're saved and Jesus Christ all of a sudden,
11:53
Speaker 2: but it says they will say in their hearts that
11:55
Speaker 2: they have this reaction to the Lord's supernatural intervention, which
11:59
Speaker 2: leads to them to have a certain level of confidence.
12:02
Speaker 3: Right absolutely, you know, they're not jumping on the Jesus train,
12:04
Speaker 3: but they're realizing now that they're their God of Moses
12:08
Speaker 3: and we're going to reinstate the Mosaic law. They're going
12:10
Speaker 3: to build their temple, you know, and that sort of thing.
12:13
Speaker 3: And after they take out there's enemies around them, that
12:16
Speaker 3: paves the way for that to happen.
12:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does.
12:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, so here we are watching these things again. So
12:21
Speaker 2: the reason we're doing this, which I think it fits
12:23
Speaker 2: with what we're watching in our current event situation. We're
12:26
Speaker 2: watching this this tension increase, military bases being built underground,
12:32
Speaker 2: which they seemingly think we're going to be out of
12:34
Speaker 2: Israel's reach. But what we do know is there's an
12:37
Speaker 2: appointment here of war. That's that's been prophesied.
12:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I would connect that, like I said to
12:42
Speaker 3: Thesaumiti three war. But see, after the Somiti three war,
12:45
Speaker 3: Israel can then be primed up for the Ezekiel thirty
12:48
Speaker 3: eight Gaga Megag invasion, of which there's also supernatural intervention
12:52
Speaker 3: on that because that's the most massive, armed and dangerous
12:55
Speaker 3: midiast evasion of all time, even bigger than the Saumiti
12:57
Speaker 3: three thing we talked about.
12:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, Iran, even if they get defeated or they get
13:02
Speaker 2: a black eye, they're not going away. They again, they
13:05
Speaker 2: have an appointment with the rest of When we'd say
13:08
Speaker 2: Russia and Turkey and the other nations, there's other nations
13:11
Speaker 2: we don't want to Ezekol thirty.
13:12
Speaker 3: Eight, and just quickly we're told in Ezekiel thirty eight
13:14
Speaker 3: verses nineteen through twenty three, that there'll be a great earthquake. So,
13:18
Speaker 3: in other words, this is too vulmerable for the Israelly
13:20
Speaker 3: defense forces. Israeli defense forces are taken out, and Zechari
13:23
Speaker 3: at twelve they're involved, But not the Israeli defense forces
13:27
Speaker 3: in Ezekiel thirty eight, nor the American troops, by the way,
13:30
Speaker 3: but God himself supernaturally defends Israel great earthquake, every man
13:36
Speaker 3: sort will be against his brother. So we go back
13:38
Speaker 3: to that madness, that panic, that hysteria. Remember, these troops
13:41
Speaker 3: are coming against Israel, are speaking different languages. A huge earthquake.
13:45
Speaker 3: Now they start killing one another, pestilence and bloodshed, flooding rains,
13:49
Speaker 3: great helstones, fire and brimstone. Now the world's going to
13:52
Speaker 3: see that happen. And then the Lord's going to say,
13:54
Speaker 3: in Ezekiel thirty ninety seven, I make my holy name
13:57
Speaker 3: known in the midst of my people Israel. They shall
13:59
Speaker 3: not profane it anymore. The nation shall on the Lord,
14:02
Speaker 3: the Holy One in Israel. But again that's an acknowledgment
14:05
Speaker 3: of the God of Moses, who protected them. They're going
14:09
Speaker 3: to reinstate their mosaic law, build their temple sacrifice, animals
14:12
Speaker 3: cleanse the lands, were told they cleanse the land, and
14:16
Speaker 3: the aftermath of that invasion. So again we wish they
14:19
Speaker 3: would out believing Jesus as a result of that, and
14:21
Speaker 3: hopefully some will.
14:22
Speaker 4: So yeah, hopefully what was being said there, No, that's
14:25
Speaker 4: not what Jean said.
14:25
Speaker 2: I mean, when we look at the overall message, Jesus
14:28
Speaker 2: said in John five, if you don't honor me, you
14:31
Speaker 2: don't honor the Father Luke ten. If you reject me,
14:34
Speaker 2: you reject the one who sent me. So it's very
14:37
Speaker 2: clear that Jesus is central to all of it. But
14:40
Speaker 2: as we watch these things, God is doing all these
14:43
Speaker 2: things again to bring Israel to this place where he
14:46
Speaker 2: has to take them through the process, to get them
14:49
Speaker 2: into the tribulation.
14:50
Speaker 4: To build these things, because this is there.
14:52
Speaker 2: You said they're going to be going through Moses, but
14:54
Speaker 2: they're going to realize that that's not the way. And
14:56
Speaker 2: by the time you come to the end of the tribulation,
14:58
Speaker 2: after Antichrist seeks them, they're going to call out on
15:01
Speaker 2: the name of Jesus.
15:01
Speaker 4: That's right there.
15:02
Speaker 3: We have a faithful remnant.
15:03
Speaker 4: There's a faithful.
15:04
Speaker 3: Remnant that will call out to the Lord blessed to
15:06
Speaker 3: see who comes in the name of the Lord. And
15:08
Speaker 3: that's Jesus's mandate. Matthew twenty four. I will not return
15:11
Speaker 3: into to you, to the nation of Israel until you
15:14
Speaker 3: make that statement.
15:15
Speaker 4: Amen.
15:15
Speaker 3: They will faithful, remnant, will they will.
15:19
Speaker 1: Everything that we're doing at Prophecy Watchers is vital because
15:23
Speaker 1: Bible prophecy is coming to pass right before our eyes,
15:27
Speaker 1: and it has never been more important for believers to
15:30
Speaker 1: understand what.
15:32
Speaker 5: The Bible says about the days that we are living in.
15:35
Speaker 5: In case you haven't noticed, the whole world is spinning
15:39
Speaker 5: out of control. But we are not surprised because many
