Is Iran About to Fall and Does Russia Know Something Israel Doesn’t? | Land of Israel Guys Podcast

Welcome back to the Israel guys where we believe that in a world of anti-Israel propaganda and Jew hatred you should have a direct connection to the land and people of Israel this week um so much has happened we have uh Iranian uh front is is uh really coming alive like we see a lot of things happening we see US seeming to get involved we want to talk about that we're going to talk about the Russian embassy being evacuated here in Israel what does that signal. I mean, that's that's actually a really big deal. Um, that would actually give me the view that something is shifting. Uh, and there's a reason why the Russians would want to be leaving Israel. Um, we'll talk about it. Um, we're also talking about um the protest that is happening in Iran as things really seem to be toppling. It seems like we're in the process of a lot of questions whether it will work or whether whether or not this will be successful or not. Um, a lots to talk about internal things here in Israel as well. Uh but let's kick it off guys with the uh can I can I kick it off with this video cuz I think this is really significant. There's a a million videos we could watch about the protest in Iran. But there's one video on X where Iranian officials are telling a crowd of university students to chant death to America, death to Israel. And this is their response. Watch this. My God bless you. My God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. My God bless you. >> So for those of you who are listening, uh that was kind of funny actually. the the officials are leading the crowd in a chant of death to America, death to Israel, and the responding chant is death to Palestine. This is happening in Iran right now, which is just crazy. >> Why Why are they saying that? What how are they because you'd think that they would say something different because but they're putting it directly. How would they know the context? >> I'll give you my quick theory and then interested to hear you guys jump in. Uh I think Iran is finally the Iranian people is finally waking up to the fact that their leaders and their governments focusing so specifically uh for so many years on destruction of Israel and the in America has now led to the Iranian people's uh demise more or less, right? No water, no food in Iran now. Um, and like they're living in poverty and their country is falling apart and they're realizing it's because their leaders have led them in years and years and years of of uh their only goal in life is to destroy Israel and America. >> I mean, you think about it. Iran is literally falling apart. Its military has been devastated by Israel. Its nuclear sites are destroyed. The scientists have all been assassinated. There's no water. There's electrical outages. There's mass protests in the street now. Their currency has been devalued 60%. I mean, the whole thing is insane. and all their proxies are falling apart. After the beeper operation, the Houthis are practically gone, literally. The Hamas is devastated. And now Venezuela's been captured. So Iran's stronghold over like everything. Their entire axis is falling apart. And people are saying, "What is this about? This was all to destroy Israel and Israel is emerging like a lion." And they're siding and aligning with the side of good for the first time. You know, I I didn't realize it, but the the uh Venezuela situation, how connected they were to Iran. I would have never even thought as V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V Venezuela as a proxy of Iran, but sure enough, we see that the US and all that's just happened there, they were hitting a very strategic asset of Iran, $3 billion something dollars in 2023 uh went back and forth with with with uh between Iran and and umer trade and commerce. Well, I think last week we mentioned on the show we were talking about how Netanyahu was very uh obvious like Trump was very obviously um like there his meetings in the US was was a little bit more than normal because he flew him to Mara Lago spent like a couple days together. BB was the only foreign leader invited to the New Year's Eve party. Like they were and and BB and Trump came out from that on a very united front telling the media we're aligned 100%. Like there was no um there was no, you know, nothing between them at all. And then within what two days the the operation the in in Venezuela happen and and the US goes in and take them out. So there could be very good speculation that Israel and the United States did this in coordination with each other for sure. >> I think that's what makes so many people mad. >> Question is what other proxies does Iran have left? And I mean we have Russia now evacuating their embassy reportedly evacuating their embassy from Israel including all their families. Uh there's reports that the Russian army is evacuating the staff of the Russian embassy along with their families in Israel and returning them to Russia. They've taken multiple flights out of Israel to Russia in the past couple of days here. Uh what do you make of that though? My question was going to be is Russia considered a proxy of Iran or is Iran considered a proxy Russia? >> I think it's the wrong binary. I don't think it's uh how many proxies does Iran have. I think Trump is seeing things in a clear way that there's the allies and the axis. Mh. >> You know, there's two sides here. And so Venezuela and Iran and Russia and China, their interests are aligned and so they're together. Who is whose proxy? They have their interests. So their interests are aligned. It's in Russia's interest for Iran to remain in power. Which is why these times are so volatile. Why they could go in any moment the entire world I feel like we all sense that in any moment the entire world could go totally off on a different trajectory like that, right? And so Russia is just sending cargo ship after cargo ship after cargo ship to Iran. And why that may be why they're pulling their people, their embassies out because they recognize that Israel is being forced to make a decision now. They're rearming Iran. So either Israel is going to preemptively strike as they said that they would do or not. But they are hedging their bets. Go ahead. Well, I just want to like add that I think that it's there's an axis of evil, let's say, and there's the side of good and we, you know, Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela. I get it. But I think to go one step deeper, there are two battles that are raging in the world right now. One is a physical battle, an economic battle, and that's Russia, that's, you know, um, China, and then there's a spiritual battle. there's an a war of ideas and that really stems from the Islamic jihadic head of the snake which is Iran. But they're really two battlefronts and America's kind of dealing with both of them. But the truth is America knows how to deal with physical challenges. It knows how to deal with economic challenges. The spiritual battle I don't know if America really knows how to handle. It doesn't really know how to identify it. It just sees it as you know one side against the other side. But underneath that, there are different agendas and different reasons why those lines are aligning. But right now in New York City, they've just declared Muslim Heritage Month. They started lighting up. Bill, did you see the pictures of all of the >> Yeah, we can show some icons. The iconic places in New York are lit up in green. The Moazin is now going off in New York City, downtown Manhattan. >> The moazin as the >> Muslim call to prayer is now like blasting throughout the streets of Manhattan. people aren't recognizing, oh that's another front to this war and America has invited that to their largest most powerful city in the country. What do you think the world looks at that as? Because we were just talking about the different axis like we have the the axis and allies. What does this look is this show weakness? Does this show fracture within our uh strong you know the front? We have Israel, America, who else is on this axis? I mean we have parts of Europe maybe still trying to hold on to it but they've already been fractured by Small land. >> Somali land. Yeah. Look at this. >> Micronia. >> Micronia is always voting for >> asking who's on the axis of this showing weakness because on the on the on the forefront you could see Denmark a lot of these people these countries like China uh specifically even Iran and the Arab countries you see them playing a long game. You don't see them acting like the American style quick results. And that's what kind of frightens me because if you look at the f the view that we see right now, we see Israel and US leading big time. You see that's where the actions at. You see America boom going in and taking Venezuela. You see Israel inserting into um you know Iran to calm the storm. What you don't see is what what is going on in Russia and what is going on in China and what what is what are they doing with Iran and what are these proxies? How are they connected? that's kind of behind the scenes and we don't we don't see that view >> to me. That's what's more concerning and and what's going on. I don't know. >> We'll get back to the podcast in [music] just a second.

A report just came out now that the foreign funding to American universities. So, Germany's funding a few billion and different countries are funding American universities. The number one funer of American universities from outside the country is Qatar. That by definition is a long game. They've been funding universities. They've been buying off influencers. They've been bribing politicians. And because they realize that it's a war of ideas. They realize it's a spiritual battle. And a spiritual battle, it's not like there's in-n-out, I'll take their oil. It's like, no, I have to influence these uh the culture. I have to influence the ideology. I have to really get into the hearts and minds of people. And that really is a war that's being waged right now. >> Well, and you look at also China. You just me we're mentioning two big um people that play the long game. That is their tactic. How do we end up with the call to prayer in New York blaring throughout, you know, uh certain where was it? In Manhattan. Well, how is that happening? That was a long game by billions of dollars of of slowly but surely breaking down what was known as American before is now known in New York. our our our the funding and the economic capital of the world now has a call to prayer going off. How did that happen? Well, I think it's connected by a Muslim mayor who is perfectly fine with it and the governor of New York lauding it like the governor of New York coming out. >> How did he get there? >> Obvious funding connection. Luke, my point is is that China's in this top list as well. Have you seen the It was like a prayer celebration where they went out into the streets of Time Square and they just shut down all the streets and there was this huge Islamic prayer session that happened in the streets. They don't do that in Saudi Arabia. They don't go out into the streets and pray in public and shut down streets. They have their mosques and they're praying there only in New York. They're doing it as a display of dominance because they are now spiritually dominating New York. >> Right. And it's important to see you were talking Jeremy about this list of uh Qatar's contributions to American universities. What was it? Yale 2.3 bill I don't remember the numbers but billions of dollars $6.6 billion. >> Yeah. I can't help it to hear Tucker Carlson like Apac. Apac. Everybody's talking about Apac. Apac is such unbelievably small potatoes compared to this. But if you think about the sinister duplicity of of Qatar with their jihadist worldview, pumping all of this money into these universities to propagate this far-left woke mind virus of transgenderism and the uh emasculation of American men and American fighters on the one hand and then on the other hand coming in with the actual jihad dominating with Muslim masculinity values. It's just it's literally coming in on both sides to to cut the head off the entire West and they're just eating it up. >> I want to say something about Qatar because this is this is really interesting. Um obviously like anybody with common sense knows Qatar is not a good allied player here even though reports say they're going to be one of the 15 countries on the council that's supposed to govern Gaza that reportedly Trump is going to announce next week. But you have Qatar who hosted kamas head allowed kamas to be headquartered in Qatar for years and years. They are Al Jazzer which is a massive worldwide media network uh is owned by and funded by Qatar. Um you have Qatar I just saw a clip I didn't put it in the notes but I saw a clip of of uh a government official in Qatar admitting that journalists around the world are on their payroll and have slowly made their way into like government positions and significant leadership positions in countries around the world. Qatar does not have like good interest here and they're funding universities in America to the tune of $6.6 billion dollar. At the same time, you have people like Tucker Carlson just comes out of Qatar. I'm buying a home in Qatar next week. It's my favorite. >> I'm a free American. It's my right. >> It's my favorite country. You know, what why are you kidding me about Qatar? That's just such a great country. And I don't know if we've ever talked about this and I'm curious because uh if we ever put the word Qatar in the titles of our videos on YouTube or in the thumbnail, it immediately gets squashed. And now our team kind of knew this like in the algorithm, but we never had any proof of it. Josh was talking to a friend of ours who we probably can't even name, I would think. Um but a very com very good source who said they actually have proof that the the word and the the topic of Qatar is squashed in social media algorithms specifically if >> it's in a negative light. >> Correct. Yeah. They they have actual evidence and proof that this billions of dollars. So Qatar is is like paying journalists. They're hosting kamas. They're they're paying universities in America and anybody that tries to come against them, they are paying to have that squashed on the internet. >> Can I just read a a prophecy that I think is quite relevant here? Okay, this is it says from whence the name Yeshmael, right? Ishmael, the father of the Arabs and the jihad, which means God will hear. It says you must name him from Genesis 16:11. And why was he called that? Because in the future, God will hear the cry of his people regarding the Ishalites and what they are doing to them in the land in the end of days. Therefore, he was called Ishmael. As it says, God will hear and answer them. Meaning that what is happening right now from Qatar and from the jihad. It seems like the jihad is more powerful and louder and more effective than ever. This is all leading somewhere. It's all kindling a flame that will wake us up. And that's why I think a big part of our show is exactly that message is the message of not just what is happening but why is it happening. We need to wake up as a people and understand that we are on some level a people. We used to think oh you're Christians we're Jews. There's something deeper happening that is connecting us on the fundamental spiritual level that we're under God together and we need to wake up in that capacity and figure that out. That's a big part of what we're doing here. >> Yeah. There was a real turning point and a mistake. I mean the jihad came onto the scene at 911 and then all of a sudden it started like the the slogans happened. Oh, it's Islamophobia. Islam is a religion of peace. Instead of recognizing that within Islam there are just some whack job psychopathic killing murderous people. Now there's the UAE, there's the United Arab Emirates, there's people that have joined the Abraham Accords. There's Morocco. It's not like smashing all of Islam, but it was recognizing that within Islam, there's real danger. And instead, it was like ignoring that idea and just saying, "Yes, Islam is a religion of peace." And sort of putting your head in the sand. And now we turn around, it's like, whoa, Israel and America are being surrounded by, bought off by a jihadic world domination force that wants to take over the world. >> You know, what I'm going to say is is that that that is done. It's interesting because it's not natural that people would go, "Oh, sign me up. I want that as that. That needs to be I want that guy as my neighbor. Who in New York would think that that's a great idea?" They're not. That's not It's not even natural. It's not coming. >> Can I just read this to prove this to prove the point? I'm going to read the direct quote from the governor of New York, Kathy Hokll. Uh she on her Twitter account, she says, "The resilience, compassion, and contributions of Muslim communities helps make our state stronger." Tonight, landmarks across the state are lit green. We could show these pictures as New York celebrates Muslim American Heritage Month. >> Wait, say that again. How is that even connected? >> Muslim American Heritage Month. Exactly. That's kind of what I want to know. >> Yeah. Also, where is Muslim? And just another add comment. Mamani, where was he inaugurated? Where he swore on the Quran? In a tunnel. >> Really? >> He was inaugurated in deep in a subway tunnel. >> Are you serious? >> Yeah. Like what is he trying >> obvious connection to Gaza >> to me? to me >> to most people it's like why would he choose out of all things >> on the Quran as well >> on the Quran in a tunnel like he's not exactly >> strange yeah ceremony like >> is that that sounds like conspiracy to me is that that's that that's legit that's >> oh I saw the video this is not a conspiracy >> oh yeah we can you can watch the video of his inauguration this is the first time I'm hearing this but I guess I'm behind >> you even reference like where he was at yeah >> the fact of the matter is there's no question about that he's >> that's he's he's saying >> I mean any normal person would Hey, that's in like connection with giving support. >> Yeah. The ultraorththodox Jews were like, "No, we think it's good that he's because he's going to go out of his way to prove that he's not, you know, anti-Semitic and he's going to really help us and our agenda." And and this sort of delusional type of thinking that is already being exposed. Yeah. >> This is in solidarity with the Gaza Hamas fighters, >> right? >> He might as well just have said it. >> I think I think the fact that it happened in New York City is really telling. And the reason why America isn't equipped to deal with this spiritual battle is because America is split spiritually. It's like two countries that are at war with themselves or there are people that love the Bible, that love the values, that love God, and there are people that are saying, "What? I'm a transgender liberal progressive atheist. I want nothing to do with that." And New York City is run predominantly by the Democrats. They're run predominantly by the secular progressives. And they're the ones that are inviting the Muslim Heritage Month because they don't have the spiritual caim, the tools to even decipher what's a real enemy and what's a friend. And you can see that right here by the governor. It's just unbelievable. You know, the other fascinating point is is that uh so you have the natural things that are happening as we're talking about, but you also have this thing that's making these things seem like they have mass support. And this the other thing that this uh this that was uncovered. We hadn't we don't have all the full information on this yet. We can't like fully lay out, okay, this is where the details are. But there are bots and these bots and this that's just common information. Hundreds of millions of these things that are that are trying to and they're they're by dollar bills that are being created, you know, these huge hubs in these nations all around the world where they have these things and they're swaying public opinion by people that aren't even real. And that's I think to these things. Everybody knows that now. >> I think everybody's known that, but no one's known how to prove it. We like you had a conversation of somebody that can actually prove it. They're not ready to come out publicly yet, but I hope we can obvious do this kind of stuff. You can create a false name and do something online. Well, the enemies have used that now for years and years and years and have created some more than 100 million something like there's in mass you go on it's easy to prove even online when somebody has more likes than they have views. What does that make any sense? You know, you go on some of this stuff and it doesn't you're like this is insane. Well, there there is an element of this in our social media world that's not connected to real human beings. It's connected to countries trying to uh uh sway certain opinions. >> Well, they're winning and they're we saw that during the the Gaza war there were real people in real protests supporting the kamas. We see real influencers that are influencing their followers to hate Israel, to rat on the Jews. It's whatever they're doing, they're attacking it from so many different fronts. They're really playing a long game. The academia, the media, bots. I mean, they're attacking it from everywhere because they are honed in on the fact that this is a war of ideas. It's a spiritual war and they're fighting it. >> But I get uh strengthened by that. I'm encouraged by that when we when you say they're winning. I like to hear that because on the superficial outside there's no real god in the world perspective, meaning survival of the fittest, they're winning. Okay. But when you look, there's a reason that it has to be that Israel, Somali landed, Micronisia, it's not by a coincidence that it's called Micronisia. >> Yeah. >> That it's micro. It's so tiny. And that's a manifestation of the fact that we are going to be overwhelmingly outnumbered in the end. >> Always wanted to create a t-shirt that says, "Israel, don't worry. Micronia has got your back." Something, [laughter] >> right? >> Right. No, but but the fact is because that is when we are the strongest. When the greatest victories and redemptions and salvations have happened to the Jewish people throughout history, it's when we're so overwhelmingly outnumbered that we have no rational chance. Then we it's only when we're we have that arrogance. We're like, look at our technology and our satellites and that things start getting really bad for us like October 7th. But I think that that was a necessary humbling of us as a nation that will that has brought us low and prepared us to be raised up but hopefully with the right motivations understanding the true source of our strength. >> I think you're alluding to something here that we didn't touch upon it first when we talked about the uh the escalations happening in Iran now um and the US or the um Russian embassy being pulled out. We didn't say what was what are we thinking is going to happen. Uh we're talking about um why would they well the very the fact of the matter is is if Russia is pulling out there is a speculation that Iran is preparing a strike or that is if Israel is obviously is very closely tracking what's going on and if Israel knows if and when Iran would strike and they would preempt that. Uh, US Senator Lindsey Graham went on, I think it was US News Network, I can't remember which one, saying that Trump would target Kamani if, uh, he keeps killing his people. Um, and then there's a uh, headline this week, I think it was yesterday, Israel hinting at preemptive strike on Iran if it sees indication of threats. I I remember seeing a date and I can't remember where, but it was within a couple of weeks from now of like if Israel, you know, they probably have a red line if Iran goes past that, then they're going to preemptively strike. um Iran. There's also I don't know if you guys saw the videos, but like the US is sending a lot of military aircraft into the UK right now. Um so there's definitely things moving and shaking and what's happening inside Iran. I saw somebody on Twitter said I'm they said I'm calling it right now. This is the the fall of Iran. It's happening. There's no turning back now. Um the people of Iran or the the antithesis of the uh the Ayatollas have taken over at least two Iranian cities now. Um, they have toppled the uh Solommani statue in Iran. They're renaming the streets. Maybe I can play this video. They're renaming streets to President Trump's street. You can see them printing out uh street signs and covering up the street signs in Iran, renaming them President Trump streets. Obviously, we already saw the video of them refusing to chant death to Israel and death to America anymore. So, um, it feels like Iran's losing control. They're also re resorting to, you know, opening fire, killing protesters. Uh, somebody reported them starting to use chemical weapons. I don't think that's verified, but feels like they're getting very scared. >> The only reason why they came out is cuz there's a picture of somebody that's in a full like chemical uh war suit with a big mask and fully covered on top of a a uh, you know, a uh a government vehicle. So, military vehicle. >> Military vehicle. So, supposedly 34 people have been killed. 50,000 have been uh obtained uh detained in the prisons and things are rapidly kind of >> but I mean we'll we'll play videos of the B-roll like we're talking tens of I mean look at this video tens of thousands of people marching in Iran now this is just one video in particular but all over Iran tens of thousands of people not afraid very I mean I I can't imagine they they're being shot at and and attacked and beaten and dragged into the prisons and seem seems like there's no turning back. But >> I think that if you have one eye opened and you're able to look at reality and read the prophets of Israel, you realize that we are approaching a significant turning point in human history. The redemption is coming. The end of days is quite near. And it's amazing that Iran is specifically the center stage here. 2,500 years ago, there was a king named Cyrus. And he was the first one after the destruction of the first temple that freed the Jews, helped us reclaim the land of Israel, and helped us build a temple in Jerusalem. And now 2,500 years later, Israel is being tasked with the opportunity to free the Iranian people. I think it's like a perfect closed circle that will be a full revolution. I just had this crazy thought. What if Trump does the same thing to Iran that he just did to uh to uh Venezuela? Well, I don't think you're the only one thinking that. >> No, no, but I'm saying if >> is thinking that. >> Yeah, I'm sure he is. No, but I'm saying people that have all said that Trump is Osiris. >> To your point here, if he does that and then begins to uh, you know, give some uh support to Israel from >> Israel was on the way to take out the Ayatollah and Trump told them to turn back around. I'm wondering if he's regretting that now. Was that the right move? Was that the wrong How does he see that? We could have chopped the head off the snake and for whatever reason, Israel bowed down to Trump and we sort of like pushed things off >> or he did a Trump move and said, "I want that job." >> What do you mean? >> I need to do that. >> Oh, well, but he didn't yet. >> I mean, I want to hear what Ari has to say about this because literally this is our biggest point on every show. You've talked about this for weeks since this happened. Yeah, I want to hear that. But it does feel like something has changed with Trump and his administration like just in the last week and like it's very unknown what that is but it feels like something has changed. >> Well, I think something is changing in the Trump is an older guy. He's in his late 70s. >> He's not changing. Okay. Like we barely change. Forget at that age you are wired how you are. So it's rational to say he's aware of events that are happening in the world that are changing and that is eliciting a different course of action from him. He's realizing that there are certain alignments that need to happen and he has a a gut intuitive sense of what America needs to do. But uh but yeah, I for me I look back at the I'm re watching right now. I usually wouldn't plug something like this, but I'm just impressed by it. It's called House of David. >> Yeah, I've heard about it yet. Yeah, >> I just finished watching it. Yeah. >> Did you really? Season one or two. >> The second one. >> The second one. Right. So, I saw the first couple episodes of season two. I'm really pretty impressed. They do a few things that are just like creative license or whatever, but overall I'm impressed and and the I'm consumed with that tweet. We played it on one of the show. I played it definitely on on our fellowship where Trump says I told BB he was on the way with a man with 12 fighter jets on the way to go decapitate Iran with the final blow. And I said turn around and he turned around. And to me, that is just the exact parallel where Saul didn't cut the head off Aog as Samuel the prophet told him to. Was he going to fear God or was he going to fear man? And BB Netanyao, Benjamin from the tribe of Benjamin, he's he's a righteous, I think he's a good leader of Israel, okay, but he's doing he's not the the son of David. And this is all leading us to that place of bringing that about. You know, it says here in the prophecy, we'll get back to the podcast in just a second, but guys, time is running out to sign up for our next Heartland Experience trip. The dates are March [music] 16th through the 25th. And this trip is filling up very fast. We have a lot of people already signed up. It's one of our most popular trips to Israel. You can join the Israel guys on a 10-day tour, but it's not a tour. It's an experience focused on Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. And it's focused on going off [music] the beaten path, getting past the tour bus windows, and going to the real sites, [music] Israel's biblical heartland, Shiloh, Alon, Marray, Hebron, Cave of the Patriarchs, uh, [music] Jerusalem, the Temple Mount. You'll get it the chance to volunteer and serve in places. You'll get to meet the heroes and the pioneers of Judea and Samaria up close. [music] I'm telling you, this is an experience you do not get on any other tour to Israel. It's the only [music] one of its kind heartland experience March 16th through 25th. You can sign up now at serveisrael.com [music] or click the link in the description below. And now back to the podcast. >> I like bringing the prophecies. I know it's a lot, but you know, I also hear people appreciate that because it's it's an important perspective to put things in into line. And it says that the Arab world shall in the future stir up major wars in the world. And Edom, the west, will mass against them and fight against them once on the sea, once on dry land, and once near Jerusalem. They will employ great force against each other, and the holy land will not be given over to Adom to to the west. Right? And then what does Ezekiel say? I do not do this for your sake, oh house of Israel, but for my holy name that has been desecrated among the nations. He says as you are scattered around the nations. They say how great can the God of Israel be that his people is scattered among the nations. The exile the diaspora is a desecration. Right? He says I will sanctify my great name among the nations which you have desecrated amongst them. And then the nations will know that I am the Lord says God when I will be sanctified through you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. And that's what I see happening right here. Everything that's happening around the world, it feels like right now the world is just being drenched in kerosene. The whole world is drenched in kerosene and all it takes is one little match and we all feel it and the whole thing is going to go up in flames. Right? And it says, "Israel shall be a flame and Edom shall be the straw." Right? I'm trying to remember which book of the prophets that's in. But anyways, >> Obadiah. >> Very nice. >> There you go. >> Very nice. has already killed the gnat the eternal made it all worth it. >> That's a that I I I think that that is the alignment. That's what we're here for is not just to give we're not a news thing. We're just not telling you what's going on in the world. We're telling you what's going on in the world with a purpose to align it with what says in the book what what do the prophets say would happen. That way we can inspire people. This is not just a you listen to news too much, you're just going to be okay. What what do we what can we do about this anyway? We're just a part of a scene that's just unfolding. we can't do anything. No, but the prophets of Israel tell us that there's something to do about it. >> And it's important for our own hearts, for our own health, for our own spiritual and physical health because fear causes cortisol release. It's unhealthy. And why is it unhealthy? Because there's an element of idolatry to it. Fear is saying something should happen may happen that shouldn't happen. But when you say no, God is orchestrating everything for the best. He is with us. He's leading this. He's leading us somewhere, then that could put you at ease and give you an optimism. And it's important to have an optimism right now because we are in we're on the verge of very scary times. Scary times are going to happen. there's going to be an attack and American jewelry right now is being poised where there that's why I don't feel anger or hatred towards Candace or Tucker or these mass amounts of of thought leaders and idea people that are the Overton window is shattered and they're saying anti-Israel Jewhating things because God is putting the spirit in their hearts. Perhaps on some level they're saying he I'm here use me for this dark and evil message. Okay, fine. But in the end of the day, when Laban woke up that morning with a spirit towards Jacob, of resentment and anger that he didn't have yesterday, God put that spirit on him for a reason because it was time for Jacob to go home. And that's where we're at right now. Then that's where we're at in the Torah portion. >> Well, I think the same way you said that Trump is old, so he's not going to change. But I feel like a new spirit has come upon Trump. Something different has happened. We haven't seen him go into other people's countries, kidnap their president. We just also just heard a report that Trump is pulling the United States out of 66 international organizations. 31 of those organizations are connected to the United Nations. He's doing powerful moves right now that we haven't seen before. I don't know if he's fundamentally changing his neuroplasticity, but he is um being um inspired to act in a new way right now. And that's pretty um obvious. >> And also when you look back, what what happened there? There was the Tower of Babel, right? was the first globalist project, right? And it seemed nice there was unity there. But when there is a unity without a godly moral foundation, that is evil and it is destined to crumble and fall. And right now, I feel like this there seemed to be a globalist movement happening in the world. It seemed like there everyone was sort of coming together with the same ideas. Now, I think Trump has just right now just pulled the foundational blocks from that illusion of the Tower of Babel, of the globalist unity, and he's saying the UN, it doesn't serve our interests. So, what does that mean for the UN, the United Nations without America? What is that? He's like, >> he withdrew from every UN organization without withdrawing from the UN itself, >> which could be the next move, >> which could mean he's withdrawing from the United Nations. >> I think probably the way the conversation went, he's like, I'm draw no UN, I'm withdrawing. is people like Mr. President, don't do that. Fine, but I'm withdrawing from everything within it. >> He withdrew from UN Conference on Trade Development, UN Democracy Fund, UN Energy, UN Oceans, UN Water, UN University, and like the list goes on and on and on. Like there was a UN University. I mean, like a lot of the stuff you like and what is UN water anyway, >> right? >> Like Yeah, I guess. And obviously he's correct. It it obviously didn't serve American purpose. So >> I have a feeling somebody in his administration told him that he couldn't like it would be too too much to withdraw from the UN. And so he's like, "Okay, I'll just just withdraw from every organization within [laughter] the UN and we'll leave it at that." Um I'm curious uh maybe kind of back to your point, Jeremy, about prophecy and Iran. Um if maybe we could be I don't know if we could see this go either way or if Iran has a choice, but if you look back biblically, Iran has two different stories with Israel, right? And you reference this. Uh first, Iran tries to destroy or Persia, right, tried to destroy the Jewish people. And then later on you have the Cyrus helping to rebuild Jerusalem and and the temple. Right now for decades you've seen Iran trying to destroy Israel and the Jewish people. Uh but right now you have the Iranian people rising up against that. And I don't know if Trump is a representation of Cyrus or maybe we'll see a new leader in Iran arise that. But it's interesting to think about that maybe Iran, the people of Iran, the nation could have the opposite choice to go against what their government and their their country has, you know, gone their their what their mission for decades and actually flip the script and uh it might it sounds far-fetched and I have no like I'm not saying it would happen. >> What happens if it happened >> but we've seen it happen before. What happened if that flipped was that script was flipped and uh and Iran Persia began to be a place that didn't support all the proxies against Israel? They supported >> what if Iran helped rebuild the third temple? >> What is the Wouldn't that be cool? Are we just making up stuff? >> Is it Is it not a Jewish idea though that prophecy can be repeated too? >> There's no question prophecy is meant for every generation. And the last book affixed to the Hebrew Bible is the scroll of Esther. And of course, right there, Persia's right at the heart of it. And as they are coming against Israel, something happens and the nations of the world because Iran controlled pretty much all of the civilization at that time. It says that the people of the land start were Mityahadeim. They didn't convert to Judaism, but they started to become more biblical. They started to become more Jewish. They started adopting more of a Torah lifestyle. And I feel like that is a prophecy without a doubt toward these days because in order for America in the West to fight this spiritual battle, they're going to have to anchor themselves into something that's more powerful, more rooted. And what is more the what is the most rooted? The most rooted is in Judea and Samaria. It's where the Bible happened. And in that way, the nations of the world that are coming against us, within those nations, there will be a new people that rise up that honor the Torah, that live a more biblical lifestyle meet. They're becoming more Judeian. And so, it is a blueprint, no question, for the days that we're living in. It was the last book given to us in the Bible. And what's interesting about that book is God's name isn't mentioned. And God's name is hidden. That's Esther, literally means hidden. And so what we're seeing now is like Venezuela is happening. Iran is happening. Something in Colombia, is there something in Colombia happening? Like it seems as though like things are just moving, but God is the one orchestrating all of this. And if we have the compass and that's really important. Compass in Hebrew is matpen. Matpoon, which is pretty much the same word, is your conscience. And every person that follows their mut that follows their conscience that sees like, "Oh, this is the this is the the side of evil. I see what's happening here." And they're able to just step in the direction of the light, to step in the direction of the good, they will ultimately find themselves rooted in the Tanakh, rooted in the Hebrew Bible. we expect to see that across. Uh so I think as we talk about really really hard concepts, it's like it's coupled with this incredible hope that Iran could be a place that aligns with what you just talked about. >> I think there's no question. It's just a matter of time. Meaning if you look at that map right there on the wall, that river that goes all the way pretty much right to Iran. And so like that's the place where we're going to have peace that radiates more peace that helps bring this world together. >> You're the you're the most optimistic person I've ever met in my life, Jeremy. because right now we're actually looking at a third phase of uh of literally Israelis around all of Israel are are wondering if we're going to be running back to the shelters. Is that correct? I I I feel like that's what I I sense >> and it's end within I mean >> I myself have pulled out the sandbags. >> You already have. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And I just saw where the IDF has just issued out a whole bunch more weapons to uh to people in Judea and Samaria and throughout Israel. >> We don't need the weapons. We need the jawbone of a donkey and the spirit of the Lord. We talked about that last week. Totally. That's correct. >> Totally. Totally. >> Um, but you know, I I do want to say in in the book of Tfana, I think it talks about really it talks about I think of you guys. I think of our fellowship. I think of so many of the nations. It says, "I will leave in your midst a humble and lowly people. They shall take refuge in the name of Hashem." >> Humble [clears throat] and lowly. Not lowly in the sense of like in the negative term, but in the where they're not great in their own eyes without the arrogance and the puffed up. And because there takes a certain amount of humility to do what we're doing here because there are essentially questions left unanswered >> that [clears throat] to for us to have true friendship and brotherhood and reconciliation Christian could say yeah but you haven't accepted you know our god into your heart and then so what how can we be brothers and then there's like you know what I may not understand all of this I may not understand what this is all about but I know that the spirit of god is here in in this nation of Israel and in us coming and supporting And so that's what I see happening here. In a lot of ways, it's for the sake of sifting out who are the truly humble, godly people that are not just in words, but in action standing with Israel. And that is who will be uh who will be there. They'll be >> I think it also takes humility for the nations to actually come and and uh serve the Jewish people in a sense of of uh of their role like you you just mentioned like the the prophecies here. Well, the nations, they're not coming to lead the redemption process. Listen, that's the calling of the Jewish nation. And for the nations to actually say that, it's actually kind of something you have to humble yourself and say, "Oh, that's not my >> I don't think anything has happened in history where two religions, one religion, I mean, I'm saying religion because there's, you know, goes to another religion and like, yeah, God is with you." Like, what what is that? When is such a thing? That's the role of the nation. That's what we're supposed to do. >> Jeremy was talking about that. I love that word. It's probably a word that, you know, Christians cannot pronounce for the life of them. The meet yahadim, right? Uh, but there's like I can guarantee you there's thousands of people watching and listening that were identifying with exactly what you were saying there and they're they're going, "Well, this is what I've felt and and Jeremy just said it, including us." I mean, this is our journey for the last 20 years as well. Um, but I I was thinking I think it's uh we we're probably the only podcast current events podcast in the world that simultaneously predicts like world global catastrophe and everything's going to blow up while also predicting that like the best days are yet to come and are just around the corner and everything's about to be amazing too which I think is awesome because that's that's literally like the end is near a picture of redemption, [laughter] right? No, the the the Zohor like one of the mystical writings of Judaism says that toward the end of days it will be as if as the egg decays the chicken grows. >> Yeah. >> And it's like all right, things are seemingly falling apart now. The world is preparing for war. Russia's evacuating. What's going on? It's like, no, no, the egg is decaying because something new is going to be born. One last big story um because we have a little bit more time here and that is the there's a report that President Trump is expected to announce the establishment of the peace council next week and maybe if it happens we'll definitely talk about it on next week's podcast that will oversee the rehabilitation process in Gaza as part of launching the second phase of the ceasefire agreement according to channel 12 in Israel Israel national news um they're they're reportedly projecting that this council will be composed composed of some 15 countries from key states around the world. They're going to oversee the Palestinian technocratic government. It's such a pipe dream. Like there's never there's never going to be a Palestinian government. >> Talk about pipes. They literally just pulled some uh some terrorists that were smuggling through sewer systems and they really yanked them out of these places all the way in Hideera, Israel. I'm like, you're going to make peace with people that support that kind of thing. And of course, all the Palestinian, you know, so-called that's what they're doing. That's who they are. That's their whole goal. And so to think that you're going to establish a peace committee that's going to govern the people that are in those pipes and trying to kill Jews. It >> it just came back from uh Florida with Trump from Mara Lago and they they had an agreement that until Kamas disarms and they turn over the last hostage the the body of the I think it was a policeman from October 7th that died they will not move to the next phase of the peace deal. So like there a lot would have to happen in the next week. But I think what's interesting is the countries that may be on this council. You have Britain, Germany, France, Italy, got some nice Western European countries, and all of a sudden you got Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey. It's just wild to think that like anybody like this could actually come together. Qatar and Saudi Arabia and Turkey of all people. Turkey probably the worst because Turkey is a proxy of Iran, >> which shows how successful Qatar has been in infiltrating every aspect of the world. What I also don't understand, there's not one country there from the Abraham Accords. >> If we're really trying to establish some type of peace in the region and rehabilitate whatever that means in Gaza right now, how can there not be a a country that is represented in the Abraham Accords? I mean, I I feel like this is just a sham. Hamas are never going to get rid of their weapons. That's never going to happen. And so, I guess Netanyah is just sort of like navigating his way through the politics of it all, hoping that Israel will somehow But is there a plan? And does Netanyahu have something up his sleeve? What is going to be with Gaza? I kept on saying, "All right, well, we got to move them from the land." Ara, you didn't agree with that. >> Do you still not agree with that? >> Have you read the comments on that? >> That you were not nice to me. [laughter] >> That's what it said. >> That was Yes, >> that was my mom. >> Right. >> But I think that's I I I I still today don't see any other way. The Torah says that we have to inherit the land. Those that want to wage war against us need to be removed from the Holy Land. I don't know where to put them, but they can't stay in this land. >> Syria. What's wrong with Syria? It's right there. >> Well, that's I think still a part of like biblical Israel. It may be like north of Syria a little bit. >> It could be a phase thing, >> but let's just get out of here. >> Yeah, but but Ezekiel says because they misled my people saying peace when there is no peace. That's right. That is this peace council. That should be it should be called the peace council with that verse. >> There is no peace. There is no peace. >> Peace. peace where there is no peace and that's what's being said and it's cynical and we should know better and we shouldn't play along with this nonsense. We should see if anything the world doesn't respect it and we we we think we're getting all these morality brownie points and all it's doing is causing people to resent us more and more. >> Do you guys see that on the same note here um uh Trump team with uh Witkoff and uh and his son-in-law um Jared Kushner, they put together a whole uh thing to present to Trump uh to to get him along with Saudi Arabia and Oman. But you know, Kushner is not a part of Trump's administration. >> Yeah. No, not at all. >> Not at all. >> Uh Trump rejected really cool that he actually rejected it because it was it was going to be something where uh along with Iran in order to you know some sort of peace thing and it was going to water down the situation like they constantly are doing with everything. Uh Trump rejected it due to other voices. Uh and Israel was part of that. I thought that was really fascinating. You guys didn't see that? >> I didn't see that. Yeah, >> hopefully those other voices are like people like Mike Huckabe, >> maybe former Friedman, >> but there are good I guess the point is like there are very clear >> good voices that uh you know that do have the ability to speak to Trump. You know, there's the faith the White House faith council, right? You have very prominent people there. >> Um it just depends on who he's listening to. And yeah, I don't like you guys were saying, I don't know if we're talking about a change of heart with Trump or this is who he's listening to this week and we could see a different Trump next week, but it does feel like that something has changed at least a little bit. So, >> well, I have some good news that um it I just read that the CEO of Nvidia, one of the largest companies in the world, is planning to double the amount of employees that they have in Israel as they're about to build this massive campus focused on chips and AI from 5,000 to 10,000 employees. And I'm thinking about this massive global company, one of the largest in the world. And there's this war with Iran. Russia's evacuating its embassy, all of the instability that could be in the Middle East with the Gaza and all that's going on. And this very rational, very successful man is saying, "I'm investing in Israel. I see them as the future. I see them as very capable. I see them as intelligent. I see them as educated." And he is doubling the size of already one of the largest. >> The economy here is doing great. I think that that may be a microcosmic analogy of the entire picture. Just the dollar shekel exchange rate, you know, it's >> it's not so great for Americans. >> Not so great for Americans. I can't remember in decades. >> I'm I'm not an economist, but it's I can't remember it being stronger. You know, it's like a 3.1. It's pretty That's what the guy said. He said in your head you just got to say three shekeles to the dollar. It used to be four. I >> had that conversation yesterday because Yeah, we're dealing with some of those things here. Yeah, for sure. No, I think the the stock market, I think the Tel Aviv stock exchange has been like over 20% for like the last two years. Yeah, it takes a war for the economy, Israel's GDP to go up, which is just so counterintuitive, but um yeah, my bets on Israel for sure. >> Um we do um have a little bit more time. I don't know if any of you want to bring out anything from this week's Torah portion. We've had a lot of prophecy today, which I think is fantastic. >> I think it's what people love. People need that clarity. Uh they need to hear from it. like the Torah has to go forth from Israel. I think that's really good. But >> so yeah, I I have an idea and I think it's important specifically because the rift that's happening within the conservative movement where there is a strong force that's saying deny Israel Muslim heritage month from the left wing in New York. Like what's going on? And it's undeniable that Pharaoh in Egypt, he thought that the Jews were a threat to Egypt. He claimed that maybe they'll have dual loyalty. Maybe another nation will attack us and the Jews will join the other nation and they'll attack Israel. After the people of Israel, Joseph saved their economy, built their economy, saved their country, saved the world. They did so much. They positioned Egypt as the most powerful empire of the region. And then Melikadash, there's like a new king that came to Egypt now. And there's two ideas. Either it's a new king or it's the same king. and his views of Israel just shifted because of all the influence of his adviserss that were around the area. But what's undeniable, whether it be a new king or a new man with new opinions, is that paranoid delusion caused the enslavement of the Jews, which ultimately caused God to intervene and destroy Egypt. And so, he who blesses Israel will be blessed, and he who curses Israel will be cursed. And I just see that the Jews, the largest population of the Jewish people outside the land of Israel is New York. And right now, New York is veering away from Israel. And so I is um like to put out this warning to everyone who believes in the Bible that sees this not as just stories but as prophecy. It happened to Egypt. It could happen to New York. It could happen to all of America. That if you curse Israel, you will be cursed. What does that look like if um what happened to Egypt? If you just said and and we're not even going to talk about that. The prophecy says in Jeremiah that you won't even speak about what happened then because what's coming the exodus that's coming is going to be so much greater. What does that look like? >> Well, no. I'm not sure that that's the prophecy. No, >> I think the prophecy is saying that the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, the final e exodus, the final return will be so great that no longer will we say, "Wow, look at that exodus from Egypt." But look at the return of this nation from the four corners of the earth in this miraculous way. You know, so I don't know. We don't need to know what happened. You look in the text in a moment just like a new pharaoh arose. The the nation of Egypt went from being a global superpower to being 12 guys. You know, the the rest were just, you know, devastated in the sea, right? >> And so it could happen like that. >> There's also an element of measure for measure. You know, in this week's Torah portion, God calls Israel my firstborn. And then, how does Egypt end its uh plague? With the death of their firstborn. And so, there's always going to be measure for measure, divine judgment, divine principles, divine justice. And so, whatever is meant to be will be. And it really could be that 2,500 years ago, Cyrus, the great king of Iran, freed the Jews. It really could be that Israel will free the Iranian people. We can just see the measure for measure and the justice unfold. And so it's watching prophecy converge into reality here in the land of Israel. >> Well, eyes on uh eyes on Israel, eyes on Iran, eyes on New York, maybe. Eyes on a lot of places. Russia. >> I think just as much as we need to save Iran, we probably need to start thinking about New York as well. >> Totally. >> Yeah, that's that's I would not want to see about that, though. So, it's a little tough to pull in. >> All right, guys. Well, uh, as always, make sure you subscribe, make sure you're following along, and and let us know in your in the comments section what you think about, uh, everything today. We had a lot of lot of deep insights, a lot of Torah. So, love to hear from you guys. As always, stop listening to the lies and propaganda and connect with the truth of what's happening in the land of Israel. We'll be back very soon here at the Israel [music]
