Now let's go to Israel. Well we are going to go to Israel, but let's go to Israel.
Size of New Jersey. I don't know how, you always hear that. There's Israel and there's New Jersey.
They're together. I don't know if that's lifting up New Jersey or putting down
Israel. I don't know. Yet, size of New Jersey, center of world controversy.
Imagine if New Jersey was in the news and the world, whole world was obsessed with New Jersey.
Condemns New Jersey in the United Nations. All nations condemning New
Jersey, for everything ... they built a house in New Jersey the world condemns it. You know. The
United Nations is obsessed with Israel. I mean the world is. It makes no sense. Size of New
Jersey. Makes no sense. You know. Condemns, it has condemned Israel more than any nation on earth.
Little Israel, democracy, making the desert bloom, sending help around the world. More than any,
including the nations that kill thousands and tens of tho.. and millions of their people,
China, Iran, Sudan. But Israel, not just that it's condemned it more than any nation. It's condemned
Israel more than every nation put together. Makes no sense. Makes no sense. And the nations, some of
the nations on those human rights comissions are killing their people and have no human
rights. But Israel there, but it's condemned. All the dictators. Why? The little nation. Why?
For centuries nobody cared much about the land of Israel. Backwater. Jewish people come back,
the whole world is in an uproar. Anybody else could be there, people who don't belong there,
people you know the empires that came and went and came and went, they don't own the land. But when
the people who it was given to come back the world goes crazy. And over Jerusalem particularly. Why?
Jerusalem was nothing for centuries. It was a few stones and, and disease and poor people.
Nobody cared until the Jewish people came back. And now all the world focuses on this?
The world wants the Jewish people out of Jerusalem. The United Nations condemns
the Jewish people in Jerusalem all the time. They just issued resolutions a little while,
actually, actually a few days before America Trump issued the Jerusalem Declaration. They issued
a their own, they issued, it was the anniversary of the U.N. voting in Israel. On that anniversary
they celebrated by attacking Israel and saying that Israel was the occupying power of Jerusalem.
It was the occupier. And they used Muslim names to describe Jerusalem. And then a
few days later Donald Trump said okay forget that. We're recognizing Jerusalem, you know.
If the Jewish people build houses in Jerusalem the world goes ... Now can you ... What other place
in the world if you build a house the world is going to condemn you, for building a house? Why?
Here's why. You can just listen. And after he had said those things, these things,
Messiah he was lifted up while they were looking on and a cloud received him out of their sight.
And as they were gazing intently into the sky, while he was going, behold two men in white
clothing stood beside them. They also said, men of Galilee why do you stand looking into the sky?
This Yeshua, Jesus, they said Yeshua who has been taken from you into heaven
will come in just the same way as you've watched him go to heaven. Match that up, they're on the
Mount of Olives, with Zechariah 14 that we opened with. Then the Lord will go forth and
fight against those nations. Which nations? Those nations the Bible said that will come against
Jerusalem in the end times. Now that sounds crazy. Why would the whole world come against this little
thing? Well it's, look at the world. You already can see it humming. It's amazing. That's another
sign of the reality of the Bible, of God. Then the Lord will go forth, fight against those nations
as when he fights on the day of battle. In that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives.
The holy ones with him. That's the saints. In Hebrew, it's Hebrew the, the kedoshim,
the saints. That's where we get, 'Oh when the saints go marching in'. That's from there.
That's why. Why all the raging over Israel? Why? Because, Israel is God's landing strip.
Why all the raging over Jerusalem? Because Jerusalem is the actual landing strip. Why
does the world go crazy over the Jewish people in Jerusalem? Because
they are the sign of what's going to land there.
Israel is the landing ground and when he lands it's over for the kingdoms of this world.
It's over for the United Nations. They will not be controlling things ... it's over for everything.
When the Kingdom of God will come, so it was on the Mount of Oliv .... the Mount of Olives
is the specific landing strip. It's the takeoff jetway and the landing strip. That's why they
asked him at the time, they said is it at this time that you will restore the kingdom to Israel?
And that's when he said, it's not for you to know when. He didn't say I'm not going to do it. It's
the opposite. He said it's not for you to know what the fath .., when the father has appointed.
Behind the rage of all this over Jerusalem you know what it is? It's the enemy.
He attacks Israel, attacks the Jewish people because it's the place where his kingdom ends.
