0:00Much of US foreign policy as it relates to Israel and the Middle East stands on a theology that was invented in the 19th century by a guy who fell off his horse.
0:1212 secondsSurprise! We're in another war. Great.
0:1616 secondsWe can't get affordable healthcare, but we can bomb children in other countries.
0:2323 secondsLet's get into it. Okay, so with the US launching a surprise attack on Iran in partnership with Israel, there are certainly many, many layers to the
0:3232 secondscurrent situation. But I'm sure by now that you've seen the pastors and news reports about Christians who are telling people that the war in Iran is part of
0:4040 secondsGod's divine plan. Today we rejoice in the prophetic scriptures of Ezekiel revealing God's operation fury for the
0:4949 secondsenemies of Israel knowing that God is having his way and he is removing every evil leader out of
0:5757 secondstheir uh powerful positions. I believe God has this position there for the end time open doors of what he's going to do
1:051 minute, 5 secondsin Iran when this regime is uh prayerfully removed and the people are able to freely worship Jesus Yahweh.
1:131 minute, 13 secondsThe spirit of the Lord is working in this. And I believe we're going to see we're going to see an absolute revival
1:211 minute, 21 secondscome to Iran. You know, Iran, also known as Persia in the Bible, has a rich biblical history. How does this fit into
1:301 minute, 30 secondsBible prophecy? Are we seeing that unfold before our eyes? So, we know that Persia, modern Iran, plays a role in the
1:381 minute, 38 secondsend time scenario. When you see these things begin to happen, look up because your redemption is drawing near. As far
1:461 minute, 46 secondsas I can see, the next event on the prophetic calendar will be the rapture of the church.
1:521 minute, 52 secondsWhat the hell is that? And what the hell are we actually talking about? Well, my friends, the story behind this goes deeper than you think and happened more
2:012 minutes, 1 secondrecently than you would expect. We have a lot to get into, so please smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, and let's get into it. Now, to be clear,
2:092 minutes, 9 secondsit's not my lane to talk about what's happening in Iran from an economic foreign policy perspective or as an Iranian. But what I will say about that
2:182 minutes, 18 secondsis two things can be true at the same time. The Iranian government was a brutal dictatorship that killed tens of thousands of its own people and the US
2:282 minutes, 28 secondsgovernment is probably not there for a humanitarian mission. However, what I do want to talk about in this video is the
2:352 minutes, 35 secondsparticular form of Christian nationalism that is once again the heartbeat behind the Trump regime's most recent actions and why anyone who grew up in Christian
2:442 minutes, 44 secondsnationalism is not one bit surprised to hear reports that commanders are telling troops that the war in Iran is part of
2:522 minutes, 52 secondsGod's divine plan. And although this news story only has one source, it doesn't matter because this is what we
2:592 minutes, 59 secondswere told in church every single time the US or Israel got involved in war.
3:063 minutes, 6 secondsAnd while according to Caroline Levit,
3:083 minutes, 8 secondsthe reason we're bombing another country is because Trump got a feeling the president had a feeling again based on fact that Iran was going to strike the
3:163 minutes, 16 secondsUnited States. For Christian nationalists, they think that the feeling was God and that this is a holy war tied to biblical prophecy and the imminent end of the world is upon us.
3:263 minutes, 26 secondsThe Lord said a ferocious February setting up for a roar in March. Now listen to what these operations were
3:343 minutes, 34 secondsnamed. This was prophesied back in December.
3:363 minutes, 36 secondsI'm going to show you what this theological framework looks like in the current moment and then I'm going to show you where it actually came from.
3:433 minutes, 43 secondsAnd spoiler alert, not the Bible or ancient Christianity. Okay, so Christian nationalists and in particular Christian
3:513 minutes, 51 secondsZionists are obsessed with the end times. Just like how they believe that the nation of Israel being created in 1948 was a fulfillment of prophecy
4:004 minutesmoving us one step closer to the return of Christ. And they are God's prophetic time clock. It all starts on May 14th,
4:084 minutes, 8 seconds1948.
4:104 minutes, 10 secondsIsrael became a nation again. But this event had incredible prophetic
4:174 minutes, 17 secondssignificance. Why? Because the Bible predicted that the Jewish people would be scattered to the four corners of the
4:244 minutes, 24 secondsearth. They would then be reathered into their homeland. And the Bible says specifically when this happened, this
4:334 minutes, 33 secondswould be a sign of the times and effectively the prophetic time clock would start ticking. Similar connections
4:414 minutes, 41 secondsare being made with the current bombing in Iran. In fact, megaurch pastor and leader of America's Christian Zionist movement, John HGY, played this clip
4:504 minutes, 50 secondsduring his church service the Sunday after we bombed Iran.
4:554 minutes, 55 secondsA headline that shook the world. Join you right now with breaking news from the Middle East. Israel has launched preemptive air strikes against the
5:045 minutes, 4 secondsIslamic Republic of Iran. The United States military began major combat
5:105 minutes, 10 secondsoperations in Iran. Sirens are wailing and prophecies written thousands of years ago are stepping onto the world stage. Explosions over Thran,
5:215 minutes, 21 secondsretaliatory strikes, nations choosing sides. And the world asks, "Is this just another war?" History is not random.
5:315 minutes, 31 secondsEmpires will rise, empires will fall, but the word of God will stand forever.
5:385 minutes, 38 secondsIran, Israel, America, where are we in the unfolding plan of God?
5:455 minutes, 45 secondsAnd the Bible says, "When you see these signs, lift up your heads and rejoice.
5:515 minutes, 51 secondsYour redemption draweth nigh.
5:575 minutes, 57 secondsYeah, that might look crazy to you, but a lot of us were shown videos similar to that whenever bombings happened or whenever war broke out in the Middle East. This is what these people believe.
6:096 minutes, 9 secondsThey are looking for signs and wonders anywhere that they can find it. In fact,
6:146 minutes, 14 secondsanytime that war happens in the Middle East, spurred on by the US government or Israel, Christian Zionist pastors come out of the woodwork to tie it back to
6:236 minutes, 23 secondsancient biblical prophecy. In fact, one infamous example of this is Josh Howton,
6:286 minutes, 28 secondswho I've covered multiple times on this channel for being someone who plays loose with the truth and doesn't understand the Bible at all. Here's him
6:366 minutes, 36 secondsexplaining to his congregation how modern-day wars between nations in the Middle East actually could be the beginning of the war to end all wars.
6:466 minutes, 46 secondsThe Bible says that this attack at the end of time will come on Israel from the north and the south and that that will be the final war, the war to end all wars that will usher in the end of time.
6:556 minutes, 55 secondsNow, here's the question. Are we entering into that war right now? In Ezekiel 38 and 39, it mentions nations Gog and Mog. That's uh that that would
7:047 minutes, 4 secondsbe like modern-day Russia. It also mentions Persia in Ezekiel 38 and39 that corresponds to modern-day Iran. What we
7:127 minutes, 12 secondsdo know is that if Iran enters the war that Turkey and Russia will probably go with them, right behind them will be
7:197 minutes, 19 secondsNorth Korea and China. And if all of the world powers start attacking from the north and the south start trying to
7:267 minutes, 26 secondsattack Israel, that could be the war to end all wars that ushers in the end of history. You may be going right now
7:347 minutes, 34 secondslike, "Bro, this is heavy, man. Can I just say this? There's a lot of hope in Ezekiel 38 and39 because we know how that battle ends." But the Bible says
7:437 minutes, 43 secondsexactly at the moment when it looks like all hope is lost for God for for the descendants of Isaac that the Lord himself, Jesus Christ, will descend. He
7:527 minutes, 52 secondswill take the battlefield and he will win the war once and for all for all time. There's a lot in that video that I could point out, including Josh's
8:008 minuteshorrible biblical interpretation, the fact that Iran and Russia are not Gog and Magog. But the piece I want to really highlight is the level of glee
8:098 minutes, 9 secondsthat Josh Howton has talking about the war to end all wars. This idea of a massive war that will kill presumably
8:188 minutes, 18 secondsmillions of people because Josh thinks that he's on God's side and that the bombs aren't going to hit him. He's happy about it. But here's the crazy
8:258 minutes, 25 secondsthing. If the situation was reversed, if Iran was bombing America because they believed in order for God to come back,
8:328 minutes, 32 secondsthey had to be part of fulfilling certain prophecies. Josh Howardon would not be so gleeful and cheerful about all
8:398 minutes, 39 secondsof the hell on earth raining down from up above. That's how this logic works. Josh is happy about wars breaking out.
8:488 minutes, 48 secondsHe doesn't care about the casualties,
8:508 minutes, 50 secondsespecially if they're on the wrong side of the war. Now, for exangelicals like myself, hearing pastors declare that the end of the world is imminent was as
8:598 minutes, 59 secondsnormal as watching Saturday morning cartoons. It was just part of life. It's just what we heard. That's what we did.
9:059 minutes, 5 secondsMost of us who grew up in the basement of evangelical fundamentalism grew up hearing that we were living in the last days. Of course, this was told to us by
9:139 minutes, 13 secondspastors who have no credentials to speak as experts about the Middle East, but they are really good at using Bible verses to weave together a grand narrative. It goes something like this.
9:249 minutes, 24 secondsWe are living in the end times and wars,
9:279 minutes, 27 secondsglobalism, and Israel are all key ingredients needed in order for God to return and usher in Armageddon. And if you couldn't tell, this falls along
9:369 minutes, 36 secondspartisan lines. Obama wanted to usher in a globalist agenda. So, he was bad. And what President Obama has craftedly done
9:449 minutes, 44 secondsis to get average Americans desensitized to our pride in country or patriotism.
9:509 minutes, 50 secondsHe and others of his ilk are blatantly pushing globalist rhetoric to get us to give up our country in favor of ushering
9:579 minutes, 57 secondsin a new level of humanity that sees no God, no religion, and ultimately no nations.
10:0510 minutes, 5 secondsBut Trump wants to make America great again, so he's great.
10:0910 minutes, 9 secondsBut I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason.
10:1510 minutes, 15 secondsI was saved by God to make America great again.
10:2210 minutes, 22 secondsI'll let their legacy speak for themselves, but in order for the end of the world to happen, certain prophecies need to be fulfilled first. You need to
10:3010 minutes, 30 secondsunderstand that these doomsdayers are constantly on the lookout to see prophecy fulfilled in front of them.
10:3610 minutes, 36 secondsThey will read into anything as incontrovertible proof that we are living in a satanic world and that we're on the verge of the end. So get right
10:4510 minutes, 45 secondswith God because you don't want to be left behind. Now, you have to understand that this is a pretty big um and complicated system, okay? This is not
10:5310 minutes, 53 secondssimple. There's a lot of overlap and things aren't packaged with neat and clear boundaries, which is typical evangelicalism. Nothing ever exists in its own vacuum. They're always
11:0211 minutes, 2 secondsoverlapping and getting muddy with each other. But if you've ever heard people talk about the rapture or globalism or
11:1011 minutes, 10 secondsheard terms like the antichrist or the mark of the beast or the dreaded one world government, these are all related to the end times doomsday scenario that
11:1811 minutes, 18 secondswe're talking about. People in this cult, and I do say it is a cult, are obsessed with reading in between the lines on everything. In fact, one of my
11:2711 minutes, 27 secondsfavorite videos of all time that demonstrates this so perfectly is of a woman talking about how monster cans are satanic. Feast your eyes on this.
11:3711 minutes, 37 secondsLook at your M closely. There's a gap right here in the letter M. It's never connected. So, you go into Hebrew.
11:4611 minutes, 46 secondsThe letter V is also the number six.
11:4911 minutes, 49 secondsShort top, long tail. Short top, long tail. You could have here in Hebrew 666
11:5611 minutes, 56 secondson the camp. But my interest is the word monster. What do you see in the oak?
12:0412 minutes, 4 secondsThere's a cross. Okay.
12:0612 minutes, 6 secondsWhat has Christ got to do with an energy drink? Let alone the name monster. So I thought, well, maybe this is a Christian company then.
12:1612 minutes, 16 secondsBFC at the bottom of the can. Do you know what that stands for?
12:2112 minutes, 21 secondsIt's the F word. when they can.
12:2612 minutes, 26 secondsIn fact, they write it on the side of the can. So, I know that's the F word. Okay. Now, do you know what a MILF is?
12:3412 minutes, 34 secondsYes. That's on the box. Mils dig it. And you will, too. This is not a Christian company at all.
12:4212 minutes, 42 secondsSo, why would they have put a cross on the can? Here is the message. Antichrist
12:4912 minutes, 49 seconds666 in Hebrew. And then the Bible talks about the beast in Revelation. And look
12:5612 minutes, 56 secondsat monsters hat. This is their statement. You see these M's everywhere. Hats,
13:0313 minutes, 3 secondst-shirts, bumper stickers. Is there another agenda here? If God can use me product, so can Satan.
13:1113 minutes, 11 secondsAnd look at it this way. Even if the M was not the issue, you cannot deny that that is a cross.
13:1913 minutes, 19 secondsAnd what is witchcraft? When the cross goes upside down,
13:2613 minutes, 26 secondsbottoms up and the devil laughs. Something to think about. Wow.
13:3313 minutes, 33 secondsThis is how clever Satan is and how he can send a Christian home and a Christian's life and it breaks God's heart.
13:4113 minutes, 41 secondsJesus said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge."
13:4413 minutes, 44 secondsThat is not AI, my friends. That is real. And she is sincere. And frankly, I was taught things like that. I was taught that AC/DC stood for Antichrist,
13:5513 minutes, 55 secondsdevil's child. I was taught that Pokemon cards are probably demonic. Harry Potter was teaching me witchcraft. You get the point. All of these things are just
14:0314 minutes, 3 secondsinterpreted as signs that the end of the world is imminent. Things are getting worse and worse. The days are getting darker. So, buckle up because the
14:1214 minutes, 12 secondsrapture is coming. But let's back up for a second because have you ever asked yourself where does this theology come
14:1814 minutes, 18 secondsfrom? Like, how did these beliefs get so popular, especially among white evangelicals, most of which are statistically Christian nationalists?
14:2814 minutes, 28 secondsBecause if you ask the average white evangelical pastor, many of them would tell you this is just what the Bible clearly says. You'd assume that this is
14:3714 minutes, 37 secondshistoric Christian orthodoxy, that these beliefs have existed for millennia,
14:4114 minutes, 41 secondsright? I mean, maybe, for example, you grew up like me, so you read the Left Behind books. Maybe you were taught that at any moment the rapture would happen
14:5014 minutes, 50 secondswhere believers would vanish into thin air to be taken to heaven while the tribulation takes place and God judges the earth. Says it's going to be like
14:5814 minutes, 58 secondslightning that flashes from one part of the heaven to the other and that's the rapture. He's going to come in the heavens in the clouds in the twinkle of
15:0515 minutes, 5 secondsan eye. Okay. Many of us had real anxiety that we'd be left behind because even though we believed and did the
15:1315 minutes, 13 secondsright things, we weren't convinced that we were truly saved. Side note, sorry,
15:1815 minutes, 18 secondsside note for all of you normies out there who did not grow up with a debilitating fear of hell. Congrats. By the way, in evangelicalism, there's a
15:2515 minutes, 25 secondsheavy emphasis on double and triple checking to make sure that you're saved so you don't get left behind and therefore get killed and therefore end
15:3315 minutes, 33 secondsup in hell forever. So, as a kid, I walked down the aisle every time there was an altar call just to make sure I was truly saved, right? The altar call.
15:4215 minutes, 42 secondsOkay, let me explain. There's a couple variations, but the general just goes something like this. A pastor preaches a sermon. He then starts telling people
15:5015 minutes, 50 secondsthat those who aren't saved will end up facing the wrath of God. Or maybe they'll sugarcoat it and they'll say that God's love is so amazing, you can't
15:5715 minutes, 57 secondsmiss out. But make no mistake, they mean the same thing. And then they'll ask everyone to bow their heads and close their eyes. And they'll walk people
16:0516 minutes, 5 secondsthrough a prayer of salvation. It goes something like this.
16:0716 minutes, 7 secondsI want us to pray this prayer. Just say with me. Say, "Heavenly Father, I believe in my heart.
16:1216 minutes, 12 secondsI believe that you raised Jesus from the dead.
16:1516 minutes, 15 secondsI confess with my mouth I confess that Jesus is Lord." Jesus is Lord. The Bible says,
16:2116 minutes, 21 seconds"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord Whoever calls will be saved." Will be saved. Jesus, come in my heart. Jesus, come. Forgive me of my sins.
16:2916 minutes, 29 secondsForgive me. be the Lord of my life. Amen. After someone prays that prayer,
16:3316 minutes, 33 secondsthe pastor will then say with every head bowed and every eyes closed, man, I'm getting triggered just saying this.
16:4016 minutes, 40 secondsHe'll say, "Raise your hand if you receive if you prayed that prayer and received Christ into your heart." And then they'll say, "I see that hand. I
16:4816 minutes, 48 secondssee that hand. I see that hand." Then they'll say, "When the music starts, I invite you to walk down to the front to receive further prayer and to be given a
16:5616 minutes, 56 secondsBible." Okay, that's the general gist of an altar call. So naturally, as a 10-year-old who wanted to make sure he
17:0417 minutes, 4 secondswas really saved, I would pray that prayer. I would raise my hand. I would walk down the aisle. Now, other variations of this altar call also
17:1117 minutes, 11 secondsinclude asking already saved Christians to walk down the aisle as a sign that they're going to commit their life to Jesus again by dropping any kind of
17:2017 minutes, 20 secondshabitual sin that's in their life at the steps of the altar. Okay, which I would also do. And this kind of double and triple-checking. You know, this idea of
17:2817 minutes, 28 secondsnot being able to trust yourself, this kind of attitude, it it really you up to be honest. You have so much anxiety because you're afraid that no
17:3517 minutes, 35 secondsmatter how much you prayed the prayer or have been trying to show Jesus that that you are committed to him, that maybe one day you're going to be left behind.
17:4317 minutes, 43 secondsOkay, with all that in the background,
17:4517 minutes, 45 secondslet's get back to being afraid of being left behind. Because after all, this is what I was taught that all Christians for all time have believed, right? I
17:5217 minutes, 52 secondsmean, that's how it was sold in my churches. I'm sure that was sold how it was sold to you if you grew up like I did. But that's not true. That's wrong.
18:0118 minutes, 1 secondThis interpretive framework is known as dispensationalism. And here's the secret no one tells you. It was created in the
18:0818 minutes, 8 seconds19th century. That's right. Let that sink in. This theology is new. It's modern. And it's killing people. Buckle
18:1818 minutes, 18 secondsup. It's kind of a wild story. And honestly, it's a huge reason why all of this war is currently happening.
18:2418 minutes, 24 secondsSo, like anything, there's always more nuance than what anyone can capture in one telling of a story. So, keep that in mind. If you want the academic but
18:3218 minutes, 32 secondsaccessible version, read The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism by Daniel G. Hummel. I just knocked over
18:4218 minutes, 42 secondsa cup while I said that and did that because that was off the cuff. Anyway,
18:4718 minutes, 47 secondsI've also interviewed Daniel Hmel on the uh New Evangelicals podcast several times, so make sure to go check that out, too, because he is great on this
18:5418 minutes, 54 secondskind of stuff. But here's the need to know of how dispensationalism took shape. It starts with this guy. His name
19:0219 minutes, 2 secondsis John Nelson Darby. He's a British theologian. He's a key founder of the Plymouth Brethren, a small denomination that actually still exists today and
19:1019 minutes, 10 secondshonestly deserves its own video, but for sake of time and not getting too sidetracked, ADHD. We'll save that for another time. But Darby developed a
19:1719 minutes, 17 secondsbiblical interpretive lens known as dispensationalism.
19:2119 minutes, 21 secondsSee, Darby believed that according to the Bible, God governs humanity uniquely in human history. And he broke it up into seven different dispensations or ages, which he says are the following.
19:3219 minutes, 32 secondsFirst, there's the age of innocence.
19:3419 minutes, 34 secondsThat's Adam and Eve in the garden. Then there's the age of conscience. This ends with the story of Noah's ark and the flood. Then we have the age of human government which starts in Genesis 8.
19:4419 minutes, 44 secondsThen there's the age of promise which goes from the call of Abraham and ends with the Jewish people in Egypt. Then we have the age of law. This lasts 1,500 years from Exodus until Christ's death.
19:5719 minutes, 57 secondsThen we have the age of grace. This is also known as the church age, which is the age we are currently living in. And then there's the age of the millennial
20:0520 minutes, 5 secondskingdom of Christ, which I will break down for you in a minute because it directly shapes America's Middle East policy. Now, one major distinction of
20:1420 minutes, 14 secondsdispensationalism compared to other Christian perspectives is that it teaches God has two distinct plans. One
20:2120 minutes, 21 secondsplan is for the church and one is for the Jewish people. Put a pin in that because I'll return to it later and explain to you why it matters.
20:2920 minutes, 29 secondsDispensationalism also has a detailed esquetology. That's a fancy way of saying a focus on the end times. And
20:3620 minutes, 36 secondswhile they debate the details and the order of events and even the length of time between the events that are to occur, the general story goes something
20:4420 minutes, 44 secondslike this. Okay, first the rapture will happen. Most dispensationalists believe that Jesus will suddenly and with no
20:5220 minutes, 52 secondswarning take believers from the earth in an event called the rapture. Think something like Thanos finger snapping
20:5920 minutes, 59 secondshalf of humanity out of existence. Only there's no slow, painful fading away moment. One moment they're here, the next moment they're gone. You're next to
21:0821 minutes, 8 secondsyour spouse, poof, gone. You're on a plane, half the passengers gone. And maybe even the pilot. That's the idea
21:1621 minutes, 16 secondsbehind it of the great disappearance.
21:2221 minutes, 22 secondsThe world will reel with concern from watching the strange, mind-boggling, and unbelievable video footage that goes viral across the globe.
21:3321 minutes, 33 secondsPeople vanish before their eyes. In a split second, Christians are taken to heaven while the rest of the world remains on earth. Now, this idea is
21:4221 minutes, 42 secondsbased largely on piss poor interpretations of passages like 1 Thessalonians 4 and was popularized in modern evangelical culture through
21:5121 minutes, 51 secondsthings like the Left Behind books and later movies that traumatized an entire generation of children, including me.
21:5721 minutes, 57 secondsUnbelievable. The whole world turned upside down. What if baby did you see?
22:0222 minutes, 2 secondsThis is insane. People don't just disappear. What's next? You knew.
22:0622 minutes, 6 secondsPeople are missing. Dozens of seats empty. What's going on, Captain? This How do you hide from something like
22:1522 minutes, 15 secondsThat's why I have therapy now. And remember, like I said earlier, because of the fear of maybe you're not truly saved, a lot of us were freaked out that
22:2322 minutes, 23 secondswe get left behind. Although, being the good Christian virgin that I was, I was also worried that God would rapture me before I had sex on my wedding night.
22:3222 minutes, 32 secondsSo, this the secrets out, everyone. I definitely asked God to delay the end of the world for me more than once. I'm sorry. Looks like he answered my prayer.
22:4222 minutes, 42 secondsNow, not all dispensationalists agree on when the rapture happens, okay? Some believe it occurs before the tribulation. I'll explain what that is
22:5122 minutes, 51 secondsin a second. Some believe it happens in the middle of the tribulation and some at the end of the tribulation. But honestly, the majority of American
22:5922 minutes, 59 secondsevangelicals who hold this system believe in what's called a pre-tribulation rapture. will be raptured and then the tribulation starts. And this means that Christians
23:0723 minutes, 7 secondswill disappear before the worst suffering begins. The terms for this are pre-trib, midtrib, and post-trib. When
23:1423 minutes, 14 secondswill the rapture happen? It depends on where you fall. That will give you that designation. That's the terminology.
23:2023 minutes, 20 secondsThat's the insider baseball lingo that we're dealing with here. Now, after the rapture, the second thing that happen is the tribulation. Well, what is that?
23:2823 minutes, 28 secondsWell, after all the believers are sucked up into heaven, by the way, naked because their clothes are all left behind, dispensationalists believe that
23:3623 minutes, 36 secondsthe world enters into a 7-year period called the tribulation. This is where God starts judging the world by letting it devolve into utter chaos. During this
23:4523 minutes, 45 secondstime, several major things are expected to happen. First, the rise of the Antichrist. A global political leader is going to take power and try to unite the
23:5423 minutes, 54 secondsworld under peace. Another thing that will happen is a one world government will happen or a global system emerges.
24:0024 minutesSevere wars, disasters and suffering are going to occur. The persecution of people who refuse the antichrist authority will happen. And finally, the
24:0924 minutes, 9 secondsmark of the beast, which people must accept to participate in the economy.
24:1424 minutes, 14 secondsThink back to that lady with the monster can. She's looking for that. Now, in dispensationalist thought, this period is also when many biblical prophecies
24:2124 minutes, 21 secondsfrom Daniel and Revelation are believed to be fulfilled, which I need to say here is based on shitty biblical
24:2924 minutes, 29 secondsinterpretation. There's a reason the overwhelming consensus of biblical scholarship does not teach that the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation are
24:3724 minutes, 37 secondsyet to be fulfilled realities. I will not go into the nitty-gritty, but what we do need to know here is that Revelation is written to a specific people in a specific time and culture.
24:4824 minutes, 48 secondsAnd the same thing goes for the book of Daniel. There is very little, and by that I mean no, evidence to suggest that it is written for modern American
24:5524 minutes, 55 secondsevangelicals who want the end of the world to happen. So, Christ comes back and they get sucked up into the clouds.
25:0125 minutes, 1 secondJust not what's going on in the text. I know it's a shocker when you think about it. Okay. The third thing that happened during this end of world seventh
25:0925 minutes, 9 secondsdispensation reality that they believe is going to happen is the battle of Armageddon. Near the end of the tribulation, near the end of the suffering of seven years,
25:1825 minutes, 18 secondsdispensationalists believe that a massive global conflict occurs. This is commonly called Armageddon. This is where war breaks out everywhere. Nuclear
25:2725 minutes, 27 secondsbombs are dropped and everything becomes a wasteland, a zombie apocalypse. War breaks out. Millions, tens of millions,
25:3525 minutes, 35 secondsmaybe even a billion or more people are going to die in this scenario. And according to this interpretation, the nations of the world are going to gather
25:4325 minutes, 43 secondsfor war in the region around Israel. Do you see now why so many people in this
25:5025 minutes, 50 secondsworldview are obsessed with everything that happens in the Middle East? They are looking for things like this or looking for signs that we are years away
25:5925 minutes, 59 secondsfrom Armageddon. And in dispensationalism, this battle represents the final confrontation between the forces of evil and God's
26:0726 minutes, 7 secondskingdom. And it's at this moment that Jesus returns to earth in what is called the second coming. Okay, that's the fourth part of this. Eventually, Christ
26:1526 minutes, 15 secondswill come back, but not as the Jesus that we read about in the gospels.
26:2026 minutes, 20 secondsYou're not going to find love your enemies Jesus here. Okay? You're not going to find blessed are the meek and the merciful Jesus. This is not who's
26:2826 minutes, 28 secondscoming back. This is warrior Jesus with a blood soaked cloak of his enemies.
26:3326 minutes, 33 secondsLunatic pastor Mark Driscoll says it like this. Because the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Then I
26:4226 minutes, 42 secondssaw heaven open and there was a white horse. Its rider is called faithful and true. And he judges and makes war in
26:5026 minutes, 50 secondsrighteousness. His eyes were like a fiery flame. And many crowns were on his head. He had a name written that no one
26:5826 minutes, 58 secondsknows except himself. He wore a robe stained with blood and his name is the word of God. The armies that were in
27:0627 minutes, 6 secondsheaven followed him on white horses wearing pure white linen. A sharp sword came from his mouth so that he might
27:1427 minutes, 14 secondsstrike the nations with it. He will shepherd them with an iron scepter. He will trample the wine press of the
27:2227 minutes, 22 secondsfierce anger of God the Almighty. And he has a name on his robe and on his thigh,
27:2827 minutes, 28 secondsKing of Kings and Lord of Lords. That's right. That's what he believes.
27:3527 minutes, 35 secondsThat's what many dispensationalists believe. That's why so many of them love Trump. That's why so many of them are Christian nationalists. In their mind,
27:4427 minutes, 44 secondsthe Jesus who loves his enemies is dead.
27:4627 minutes, 46 secondsThe Jesus who's coming back is going to kill his enemies. And they want to make sure that they're on God's side, which of course in their mind they definitely are. and anyone who opposes them is on
27:5527 minutes, 55 secondsthe side of the enemy. When Jesus comes back, he won't arrive again as a meek and mild baby, but he will come as a warrior to make all things right.
28:0528 minutes, 5 secondsYou see how all this battle language and war language plays a part in this worldview that they're on God's side and that one day God is going to defeat all
28:1328 minutes, 13 secondsof his enemies and just strike them dead. This is how it works. This is where it comes from. Dispensationalism. Then finally, when all that happens,
28:2128 minutes, 21 secondswhen when Rambo Jesus comes back and slays all of his enemies, the final dispensation happens, the millennial kingdom of
28:3028 minutes, 30 secondsChrist. Now again, this is based on a faulty understanding of Revelation 20.
28:3428 minutes, 34 secondsBut in this age, Christ reigns on earth for a thousand literal years. At least most of them believe that. Some think it's symbolic, but not important here.
28:4228 minutes, 42 secondsJerusalem becomes the center of his kingdom. Satan is bound and unable to deceive the nations and the world experiences a long period of peace and
28:5128 minutes, 51 secondsjustice under Christ's rule. In many dispensationalist interpretations,
28:5528 minutes, 55 secondsIsrael has a restored central role during this kingdom. We'll come back to that. And then finally, the final judgment. After a thousand-year kingdom,
29:0629 minutes, 6 secondsdispensationalist theology says that Satan is briefly released. Don't ask me why. And there's a final rebellion again. And then God carries out the
29:1429 minutes, 14 secondsfinal judgment of humanity, leading us into the final stage of the biblical story, the creation of a new heaven and new earth where God's kingdom is fully
29:2229 minutes, 22 secondsestablished. That's like uh the Lord of the Rings, um the return of the king, the non-stop endings where you think, "Okay, this is the ending. Oh no,
29:3129 minutes, 31 secondsthere's more." It's kind of like that.
29:3229 minutes, 32 secondsJust when you think Christ is back, oh shocker alert, Satan gets released and rebellion ensues again and then finally the end. It's a neverending reality in
29:4229 minutes, 42 secondsthis worldview. So, where are we in this timeline according to dispensationalists?
29:4729 minutes, 47 secondsWell, we're at the end of the sixth dispensation in entering the very beginning of everything I just described. And the rapture is the big
29:5529 minutes, 55 secondsone to look for first. And yes, Israel plays a major role in all of this.
30:0030 minutesRemember, I told you to keep a pin in the teaching that God has two distinct plans for the Jews and for Christians.
30:0630 minutes, 6 secondsThis is where that matters because in order for the rapture and the end of the world to come, certain prophecies about the Jews need to be fulfilled. God has
30:1430 minutes, 14 secondsto do certain things with the Jewish people, including giving them a homeland to return to. This is why the nation
30:2130 minutes, 21 secondsstate of Israel being created in 1948 was a huge sign according to these people that we were years away from entering the final dispensation of the
30:3030 minutes, 30 secondsrapture and apocalypse. Maybe you are not like me and you did not grow up in the evangelical fundamentalist tradition and you've always wondered why America
30:3930 minutes, 39 secondshas always stood so close with Israel even as they're currently carrying out a genocide in Palestine.
30:4630 minutes, 46 secondsThis is Christian nationalism 101 in dispensationalist theology. It's a huge part of this doomsday cult. It's the
30:5330 minutes, 53 secondsbelief that the Jews will return to their homeland and that they need to have a nation for themselves in order
31:0031 minutesfor God to usher in the end of the world. And I'm sure you're asking yourself, okay, even if that's true,
31:0731 minutes, 7 secondswhat the hell does this have to do with America? Well, I'll answer that for you.
31:1131 minutes, 11 secondsYou see, in Genesis 12:3, God tells Abram or Abraham, the father of the Jews, in the Bible, that God will bless
31:1931 minutes, 19 secondsthose who bless Abraham and curse those who curse Abraham. Dispensationalists and Christian Zionists like the current ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabe,
31:2731 minutes, 27 secondsinterpret that text to mean that if America does not stand with Israel, God will judge us. that the Jewish people
31:3531 minutes, 35 secondsnot only belong here now, but they have belonged here for 4,000 years since the time God said to Abraham, "This is
31:4431 minutes, 44 secondsyours. Take good care of it." And you'll be a blessing to the people around the earth. And even to those of us who
31:5131 minutes, 51 secondsaren't even Jewish. He says, "Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed." And I
31:5831 minutes, 58 secondscome here tonight because I'd rather have a blessing than a curse.
32:0432 minutes, 4 secondsBecause of one verse in one chapter of one book of the English Protestant Bible, an entire theology stands that has been enabling genocide for years.
32:1332 minutes, 13 secondsAnd I also need to mention here that the Israel in the Bible is not even remotely comparable to the nation of Israel
32:2232 minutes, 22 secondstoday. They are two different things entirely. This is why biblical interpretation matters because shitty biblical interpretation can kill people.
32:3032 minutes, 30 secondsThere are also other things that need to take shape that will all point to the end times. And this is where you have your conspiracy hunters. They're looking for the rise of globalism in a one world
32:3932 minutes, 39 secondsgovernment that the antichrist will rule over and eventually force people to wear the mark of the beast in order to participate in the economy. This idea,
32:4732 minutes, 47 secondsalthough again greatly misinterpreted,
32:4932 minutes, 49 secondscomes out of Revelation 13. So much of today's conspiracy theories come from this ideology. American culture is soaked in it whether you see it or not.
32:5832 minutes, 58 secondsAnd that also goes for the war in Iran.
33:0133 minutes, 1 secondRemember, these people believe the more war that happens in the Middle East, the closer we are to the end. These people
33:0833 minutes, 8 secondsare in a death cult. And I don't mean that tritly. They view the deaths of the Iranians and Palestinians, men, women,
33:1633 minutes, 16 secondsand children, as simply expendable bodies to get us closer to the end of the world. They don't care about anyone
33:2233 minutes, 22 secondselse except for them and their own theology and their own God. I mean, just for a second, pause to think about all
33:3033 minutes, 30 secondsof the implications that I just described. What they believe is that anyone who's not a Christian like them will either be left behind to suffer or
33:3833 minutes, 38 secondswill eventually be slaughtered when Christ returns. This is probably a good time to mention that this theology is incredibly anti-Semitic because
33:4733 minutes, 47 secondsultimately they believe that the Jews will either convert to Christianity,
33:5233 minutes, 52 secondserasing their heritage and and their ethnicity as a people and they will recognize the true Messiah or they will be killed and sent to hell for all of eternity.
34:0234 minutes, 2 secondsThat's true. That's what they believe.
34:0434 minutes, 4 secondsAnyone outside of Christ, especially as how they describe it, is bound for hell eventually. Whether it's quick or whether it's painful, they're going to end up in hell unless they convert. So,
34:1434 minutes, 14 secondswith all of that said, there's something I have not told you yet. Something else that you need to know about John Nelson Derby. And first, let me say I can't
34:2334 minutes, 23 secondsprove that this definitely had an impact on his theology. But in 1827, he fell off a horse and hit his
34:3234 minutes, 32 secondshead pretty hard, suffering a major injury. And during this time recovering,
34:3534 minutes, 35 secondshe spent a lot of time reflecting on scripture, which deepened his theological convictions and then led to the development of his dispensationalist
34:4434 minutes, 44 secondsideas. So I want to summarize this really clearly for you. Much of US foreign policy as it relates to Israel
34:5234 minutes, 52 secondsin the Middle East stands on a theology that was invented in the 19th century by a guy who fell off his horse.
35:0035 minutesYep. The reason millions of kids were traumatized by the rapture is because a white dude fell off his horse and hit
35:0735 minutes, 7 secondshis head. This is the beginning of what would become modern pop culture American Christianity. So, of course, now that
35:1435 minutes, 14 secondsyou have all this information, whenever you hear a pastor or some random person on the internet claim that we're in the end times and the Bible predicted this,
35:2235 minutes, 22 secondsplease know it's utter horseshit. No pun intended. There's always going to be a new conspiracy, friends, that something is the mark of the beast. Back in the day, it was social security numbers,
35:3235 minutes, 32 secondsthen it was credit card numbers, then it was driver's licenses, then it was contactless payments. Some people thought the mark of the beast was wearing a mask during the pandemic or
35:4135 minutes, 41 secondsgetting the vaccine. Every president who's a Democrat is the new antichrist.
35:4435 minutes, 44 secondsAnd every couple of years, some new prophet comes around declaring that God told them when the end of the world is going to happen. And so follow me, sell
35:5335 minutes, 53 secondsall your stuff because the rapture is imminent. And so far, these people have been dead wrong on everything. They're batting zero. They're ow for like a
36:0136 minutes, 1 secondthousand. They are not right. They have been wrong every single time. Now, one thing I pride myself on personally when
36:0936 minutes, 9 secondsit comes to this channel is giving you all the nuance. And I need to do that here because plot twist, not all Christian nationalists are
36:1736 minutes, 17 secondsdispensationalists. I know that's shocking, but it's really important to stay factual and understand the nuance here because many Christian nationalists
36:2536 minutes, 25 secondsdo not believe any of this. One notable example who who I've also covered on this channel many times is Doug Wilson.
36:3336 minutes, 33 secondsWomen are the kind of people that people come out of. Doug Wilson is not a dispensationalist. Doug Wilson is a postmillennialist.
36:4236 minutes, 42 secondsPostmillennialism is an optimistic view of the future and how the world will end. They believe that the great commission to go and make disciples of
36:4936 minutes, 49 secondsall nations is actually going to be fulfilled. That the nations will overwhelmingly turn to Jesus before he returns. And therefore people like Doug
36:5836 minutes, 58 secondshave an obligation to Christianize the world to create a kind of global Christendom that will greet Christ when he returns. This is why Doug wants Jesus
37:0637 minutes, 6 secondsChrist is Lord in our constitution before he dies. He really believes that his job on earth is to make America a Christian nation in his image which of course is loaded with racism,
37:1637 minutes, 16 secondshomophobia, misogyny, xenophobia,
37:1837 minutes, 18 secondsislamophobia, etc. in order to speed up the return of Christ. There's a lot more to it. So, I'm going to make another
37:2637 minutes, 26 secondsvideo explaining all of this and the differences because it's important for you to know. So, make sure to subscribe to the channel so you get notified. But essentially, it goes like this.
37:3537 minutes, 35 secondsDispensationalists believe that the world has to get worse and worse before Christ returns. Postmillennialists believe that they have to Christianize
37:4237 minutes, 42 secondsthe entire world in order for God to return to Earth. And postmillennialists like Doug Wilson do not believe that God
37:4937 minutes, 49 secondshas a special plan for the Jews. And if you've been following any of the insider civil war action with MAGA, there's a
37:5637 minutes, 56 secondshuge rift between America's relationship to Israel, and it does fall along theological lines. I'll share more soon.
38:0438 minutes, 4 secondsI tell you all of this because the average American has no clue where these foreign policy decisions come from. And while there are certainly other factors involved, economic, geopolitical, etc.,
38:1638 minutes, 16 secondsthe theology is often overlooked. Many people in the government believe in the rapture. They believe that Christ will come back and kill all of his enemies.
38:2438 minutes, 24 secondsThey believe that America must be on the side of Israel or else we will be judged. And this theology is responsible
38:3138 minutes, 31 secondsfor killing so many people. This is why elections matter. This is why I tried to warn you before Trump took power that
38:3938 minutes, 39 secondsanother Trump term would be so much more detrimental than we could ever know because the Christian nationalist extremists who believe this stuff with
38:4638 minutes, 46 secondstheir whole chest are now in the government. Paula White who runs the faith council believes this. Her friends that she brings into the White House
38:5438 minutes, 54 secondslike Lance Wall now believe this and they are shaping policy. Hey, I cannot thank you enough for watching this video. Please consider becoming a

Red kerchiefs take the Floor,
When deserts burn in holy war
And unrest evermore.
When courts forsake their duty
And no prince must answer why,
When the cries of broken children fade
Beneath the Landlord’s lie.
When barons of wealth grow mighty
While the angry crowd the streets,
And engines forged by chosen few
Bring coin for just Elite.
Then a smiling king shall rise to rule,
Cloaked in promise, flame and deceit,
Turning brother against brother
Till the world falls at his feet"...

There is a correlation between the prosperity gospel preachers and Christian Zionism. The fact that the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) amplifies and merges the two. The Prosperity Gospel provides the "how" (faith + giving = blessing), Christian Zionism provides the key "why" (supporting the state of Israel invokes divine favour), and the dominion theology of the NAR provides the "what for" (to transform society and usher in the kingdom). The more we understand these connections, the better equipped we are to (prayerfully and thoughtfully) push back against these unbiblical ideas. Jesus is Lord! For Jew And Gentile. Like the religious leaders of Jesus’ time, many today are sadly and mistakenly seeking an earthly political Kingdom centred in Jerusalem.

No thank you. Down vote for the spouting of pure CIA propaganda at the start; NO, Iran is NOT a "brutal dictatorship that killed tens of thousands of it's own people". It has a democratically elected PRESIDENT who was out walking amongst citizens*without* security just two days ago. Could a "brutal dictator" do that? Could Trump? The Ayatollah is a spiritual leader, and also not an authoritarian one because there are thriving populations of Christians and Jews throughout Iran. The countries killing tens of thousands of their own people are the US and Israel!

Please don't think all evangelicals are like the preachers featured in this man's video. Those men do not represent real evangelical Christianity at all, and we call them out all the time for what they teach. We are not all Christian Zionists and we are, in fact, anti-Zionists. There are many in the Reformed tradition (Baptists, Presbyterians, Protestant Reformed, Dutch Reformed, Sovereign Grace, etc.) and non-Reformed Baptists (Independent) that are taking the opportunity of this war situation to speak out against this war, the atrocities done in Gaza, and the stranglehold the Israeli gov't and American Jews have over our politicians.

I grew up in the 80's and 90's in evangelicalism. Lots of sermons about Israel, I read the Left Behind series, etc. I have a journal entry from the early 90's saying goodbye to everyone I love/the world bc I had heard a sermon about the rapture happening on a certain date back then. These predictions have been going on for centuries and they're never right.

What i find interesting is that they believe the establishment of isreal as a nation is biblical. The Bible does say they were scattered across the earth. The part they leave out is that isreal is supposed to have been sold into captivity, on ships, to a people with no mercy for they elderly or the young, and made a byword amongst all nations. And cut off from being a nation. For 400 years.

Agreed. I’m no longer religious, but I grew up with this theology. The influence of Christian Zionism on foreign policy has been incredibly destructive and destabilizing. It’s also, at its core, very deeply antisemitic - there’s little to no regard for the welfare of the Jewish people; they’re just pawns used to bring about an end which will ultimately destroy them.
Christian Zionism is an incredibly problematic position for ambassadors and other American politicians to have. Their focus is on manipulating events in the Middle East to bring about the apocalypse- not working for the best interests of the US or the people who live and work in the Middle East.

@RedheadComposer These sermons and anti-whatever groupism is a test as to what others will put up with. They use 3000 year old text to justify and influence action for modern day problems. Basically if you call a certain political party terrorist and say anyone supporting them should be subject to laws defunding their support, you've basically said it's okay to seize your neighbor's land and possessions if he's not enrolled in your political party.

I am a follower of Jesus Christ, but I am an outcast from my family. I see the same things you're talking about and was cut off for trying to warn people. They freaked out and rebuked me for over an hour using the bible out of context. I said things about Trump and they lost their crap. "Touch not God's anointed!". The pastors said if you don't vote for Trump, you are a disappointment to God. They twist it in a way, it's hard for most to discern the lies because they never knew Jesus or His Word. They are brainwashed and don't check for themselves. My family is Canadian which goes to show you that people all over the world have been snake bitten and are under a spell. Literally. Most Christians I see are deceived, but there are some of us out here that can see the Truth.

Tim, Thank you for calling out the theology. I am Jewish entrant into the Episcopal Church, and I was baptized when I was eighteen. My grandfather survived the Holocaust, so I was curious about what Evangelicals thought about that. When I was seventeen, I managed to call Jerry Jenkins’ secretary, who told me that he would talk with me on the condition that I read the first book in the Left Behind series. I stopped reading it after the first sentence. That was that.

That a sliver of global Christianity, and an American 19th c fringe dogma, is driving US policy and now (again) war in the Middle East is insane! All Americans, especially Christians, need to raise our voices to stop this! American Christian Zionism is Not our Christian tradition, and criticizing it is not antisemitism . We can support Isreal AND criticize its genocide in Gaza and attacks in Lebanon and Iran.

The new testament literally tells us to not instigate, provoke, or celebrate the arrival of the end times. We are supposed to be simply content and accepting of the idea when it comes. Its the Jewish faith that started the whole "it needs to happen RIGHT NOW and we are gonna LOVE IT" narrative. Zionism and evangelism have had some dire consequences on the mainstream Christian community.

Christian Nationalism is not exclusively a Protestant fundamentalist evangelical phenomenon.

Oh, this whole discussion has taken me back years to the time I was a scared little girl, freaking out any time a Palestinian kid threw rocks at IDF or someone blew themselves up at a Tel Aviv pizzeria. I spent so many sleepless nights, praying and re-praying the "sinner's prayer" over and over again in the hopes that it would finally "Stick" so that I wouldn't be "left behind." There were many times in when I was looking after my siblings (I'm the oldest) when my parents had bible study and if they didn't get back when we exactly expected them to, oh, I thought the rapture had happened and we had all been left behind. Yes, it freaked me out. I had SO much fear and anxiety and what did my parents say when I got scared? "Just have faith!" Or, "You're being a hypochondriac, Jesus didn't give us a spirit of fear!"
Geesh, when I was around 10/11 years old, the church showed the original "left behind" movies, aka the Thief in the Night trilogy to a bunch of us kids and encouraged us to invite the "unchurched" neighborhood kids so that we could freak them out too with that song that I can't, to this day, listen to without getting shivers up my spine. Any time something happened in the Middle East, it was like this--"this is a fulfillment of this or that verse, etc" but if it's a genocide in Guatemala? The Balkans? Rwanda? Nah, who cares about any of those places!
I'm glad I rejected these heretical, diabolical, bloodthirsty beliefs because as I got older, the more appalled I got at the gleeful bloodthirstiness of them all and yes, I was scared of something like oh, the year 2000 coming or the thought that I would never go to college or get married and have sex, etc. Funny how I wasn't along in those fears. It seems we all had them, the fear that we didn't have a future.
Despite rejecting it, it has left me with anxiety disorder and trauma that I still need to heal from but it is a relief to know that I'm not alone. We were done wrong and now, we're seeing the bitter, ugly fruit of this diabolical belief system and all it's doing is creating a lot of death and destruction. This isn't the Gospel. This isn't Jesus. It's wrong.

@yllejord it's what I grew up in. Nearly all the churches shoved this down our throats. My parents didn't knowingly try to abuse me. In their minds, they thought they were teaching the "truth".
Later in life, my daddy apologized for what he had done. He saw the effect it had had on me. My mom? She's never attributed my anxiety and other trauma on these beliefs and trying to get her to see how evil they are is impossible so I've given up trying.
That's what is insidious about these beliefs and this type of culture--it's not seen as child abuse. That thought is the furthest from their minds and it's only in being outside of it that one sees it for what it is.
As you can see, even I, who has been out of evangelical christo-nationalist culture for nearly 30 years, still has a hesitancy to say that my parents were abusers. Instead, I see them as people who were very ignorant at the time and easily swayed .

Exactly! Like God needs man to fight his battles. I remember reading about these in Sunday School. Didn’t Jesus Christ say many will come in my name? False prophets and when Christ returns he’ll tell them whatsoever you do to any one of these children you did onto me. When I was hungry, homeless etc. Jesus also said not all who say Lord will inherit the kingdom of God. Some will say they preached in his name and performed miracles in his name and he will cast them away. Do these people really study the Bible or simply fantasize about the end times?

Great analysis as a Christian I say the same thing God doesn’t need men to do His will he will allow things to happen when the times are right. We shouldn’t force anything on anyone

This is where they toss the OT out the window and say it means nothing at all since resurrection. So many cherries picked.

I'm so terrified of people like this. It's such a unique form of creeping dread, they hope for the end times while surrounded by comfort, not realizing what they are praying for. I wonder if they will scream and cry like those mothers in those ruined countries we see on TV when it's their child with half their face missing from a wartime explosion.

I have a traumatic brain injury and can get manipulated VERY EASILY. I have no business being in a position of power and even decided not to have children because it wouldnt be fair to them to not be a present parent 100% of the time. Much less only being able to function 2 to 3 hours at a time... why tf do we have people in leadership that have brain injuries and brain worms and deteriorating brains?

Abraham had more than one child. Yet somehow they forget to care about God's judgment for cursing the children of Ishmael.
