The Rapture, Iran, the United States and Israel at War
About this video
Steve recorded this on February 28, 2026, as the United States and Israel went to war with Iran. He believes this is the war of Ezekiel 38, and he reads Ezekiel 36 to 38 to show how Israel's return and this war fit God's timeline.
He then ties it to Daniel 2 and 7, Revelation 12 and 13, the seven-year covenant and the Rapture at the last trump, and ends with a call to give your life to Jesus Christ today.

“The rapture of the church will not happen at any moment just like people have said.”
Steve Holcomb · He means the Rapture will not come at any moment, contrary to what many have taught. In the same breath he urges everyone to be ready, since none of us knows when our last breath will be.

Good afternoon everybody. This is uh February 28th, 2026. Um, as most of y'all probably know, we are at war with Iran. And uh, what does this have to do with or does this have anything to do with Bible prophecy or what's going on with us or, you know, what should we look for? Um, you know, a lot of things that are happening in the Middle East is prophesied in God's word of the things that will happen. Now, I truly believe that we are in the war of Ezekiel 38 only because all of the other signs, all the other prophecies are coming to pass in our lifetime as well. I know there's been many wars over there and you know a lot of things has gone on in the Middle East, but I think this time we can see President Trump is not going to just back down.
He didn't put all them military uh forces and boats and planes and military things all over there just for a bluff. I mean, they seriously want to have regime change in Iran. And um this is prophesied in the Bible. And I can tell you another reason why too. We we have to go back to Ezekiel 36. I'm just going to read that for you real quick. Um let's see 17- 24. It says, "Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land," so it was their land at one time, "they defiled it by their own ways and by their own doings. Their ways was before me as an uncleanness of a removed woman. Wherefore, this is God speaking, I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols, where then they had polluted it.
And I scattered them. This is God saying, I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispressed, depressed, dispress dispersed, sorry about that, through the countries according to their ways and according to their doings. I judge them. And when they had entered into the heathen, whether whether they went, they profained my holy name, when they said unto them, these are the people of the Lord and are gone forth out of his land. That means they're asking, "These are God's people, and God sent them out of their land." He sent them out of land for their their wickedness. And but this is what God said. But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel has profained among the heathen where they went.
Therefore, say unto the house of Israel, thus said the Lord God, I do not do this for your sake, oh house of Israel. It means he's not going to bring them back into their land for anything that they've done. They have committed very evil doings in the sight of the Lord. But then he goes on and says, "But for my holy name's sake, which you have profained among the heathen, whether you went, and I will sanctify my great name, which was profained among the heathen, which you have profained in the midst of them." And then he then then the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. Now, that part is coming. It's not here yet, but it will it will take a place.
For I will take you from among the heathen and gather you out of all the countries where they was dispersed all the for 2,000 years. And I will bring you back into your own land. This is the land of Israel. A lot of people say that, you know, that the people of Israel right now are not the true Israelites, but it's the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob's name was turned to Israel. his descendants was promised the land of Israel. Even though they're ungodly at this moment, we are still still supposed to pray for them and uh pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Uh God will deal with them. Uh there's going to be great judgment come upon them really soon, but it's because they have left God and has worshiped idols and uh things like that.
So, I'm going to continue reading. For I will take you from among the heathen and gather you out of all the countries and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you. Now after he gathers them into their land. It's then after that I mean this is still a little bit in the future when Jesus comes back and Zachchariah they ask him who are you? And he said I'm the one you have pierced. And uh it's at that moment they're going to realize u it's at the battle of Armageddon. Jesus comes back, stands on the Mount of Olives, and they ask him, "Who are you?" He reveals himself as their Messiah, and they're going to ask for repentance. And it's at that time God will forgive them, and they will continue to live in through the millennial reign of Christ, acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
And it's at that time he said, "I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your filthiness, and from all your idols um will I cleanse you, and a new heart also will I give to you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away that stony heart out of the out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." So, this is this is some things that's going to happen in the future. But, um, we're going to continue on to where we're at right now. Let's see here. We're going to go to Ezekiel 37. It talks about Israel being almost wiped off of the map uh during the Holocaust. And God takes Ezekiel into the future and shows them this right here. It said, "The hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out into the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones and caused me to pass by then around.
And behold, there were very many in the open valley and lo, they were very dry." And he said unto me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered and said, "Oh Lord God, thou knowest." Again he said unto me, "Prophesy unto these bones and say unto them, oh ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus sayith the Lord God unto these bones, behold, I will cause breath to enter into you and you shall live." This is prophesy about the the nation of Israel, the people of Israel looking like there's completely wiped out. And then God calls Ezekiel to prophesy and say that they will come back to life again. It says, "And I and I will lay senude upon you and will bring you a flesh upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you and ye shall live and you shall know that I am the Lord."
So I prophesied as I was commanded and I prophesied and there was a noise and behold a shaken and these bones came together bone to his bone. And then I beheld low until sineu was uh flesh and had come upon them and the skin covered them all about. But there was no breath in them. Then he said unto me, prophesy unto the winds and pro prophesy son of man and say unto the winds, thus sayith the Lord God, come from the four winds, oh breath, and breathe upon these slain that they may live. So I prophesied and he as he commanded me and he breath and and the breath came into them and they lived and stood upon their feet an exceeding great army. Then I said then he said unto me, son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel.
Behold, they say our bones are dry and our hope is lost. We are cut off from our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, thus said the Lord God, behold, oh my people, I will open your graves and cause you cause you to come out of your graves and bring you into the land of Israel. That's exactly what happened. And you shall know that I am the Lord when I have opened your graves, oh my people, and brought you up out of your graves, and shall put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land. Then shall they know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it." Now, all you can't just understand what's going on in the book of Ezekiel. You got to know what's going on in Zechariah, uh, the book of Revelation and all this stuff.
So, God took the house of Israel for their sin, crucifying Jesus, just departed. They was departed out of their land. They was sent into all the countries for 2,000 years. after 2,000 years, just like Hosea says, after two days he will revive us. This is a Jewish people. And in the third day, he will raise us up and we shall live in his sight. Well, we know right now that that beloved, be not ignorant that one day is with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day. So, he's telling us the timeline that we're going to live in. We know that the Jewish people wasn't dispersed for 48 hours. We know it was literally 2,000 years. after the 2,000 years, he's going to revive them and he's going to bring them back into their land just like he did after 2,000 years.
And then they are still a wicked people at this moment. The the the governments, I mean, all the governments of the world, the Bible says Satan is the god of this world. This whole world system, all this stuff that's going on is all being orchestrated by Satan. Now, when Jesus comes back, he's going to set all of that stuff straight. But right now, we got to realize the nation of Israel is wicked. There's a lot of wickedness in the United States. There's a lot of wickedness in all these other countries. But God's going to come back and he's going to set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed and will be an everlasting kingdom. And that will be the kingdom that will rule rule under with God our savior.
He's going to take the demonic spirits. He's going to take Satan. He's going to bound him for a thousand years. During that millennial reign of Christ, Satan will have no access to the people. He's going to be bound. But after the thousand years, he's going to be released for a little season, for a short time to deceive a lot of people. And then it's at that moment he's going to throw Satan, hell, and everything into the lake of fire that burneth forever and ever where the false prophet and Antichrist are. So in all that, we're living in the middle of all of this stuff happening right now. Israel returned back to the land which was prophesied. They did that 1948. And I'm going to continue reading.
It'll tell you exactly what happened in Ezekiel. Let's see where we at. 38 or Ezekiel 38. A lot of people miss this right here. It says, "And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Mog, the chief prince of Mach and Tubel, and prophesy against him." Now, I believe the Mog, the the word for u Gog is a leader of a land. And it talks about Mog. And I believe Mog is a is the southern Russia, Ukraine area, the furthest parts of the north. And it says, "And say thus said the Lord God, behold, I am against thee, oh Gog, the chief prince of Meshack and Tubel," which is Russia, Russian area. "I will turn thee back and put hooks in thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth and all thy armies and horses and horsemen, and all them that are clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, and all them that handling swords."
It talks about uh Persia which is Iran, Ethiopia, Libya which is with him and all of them with shields and bucklers, Gomer which is southern Russia, Germany and all of his bands and the house of Togemar and the northern c of the northern quarters and all of his bands and me many people with him. Be thou prepared and prepare thyelves and all thy companies that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard against them. After many days, and this has been many days, u 2,000 years, after many days shall they be visited. In the latter years, I know we're living in the latter years because of what all the other Bible prophecies are talking about. Um the Bible talks about in the latter days he said there'll be a system set up to where every person will have to receive a mark in their hand or in their forehead or they won't be able to buy or sell except he that has the mark.
So the technology is here today for everybody to receive a mark or a chip of some sort in their hand or in their forehead or they won't be able to buy or sell. These world governments right now and elite people are wanting to try to have all of this established by 2030. That's only four years from now. So, the all of this system is being set up. Um, it's all here. The technology is here. The chip reader is already in all the stores. You just take your computer chip or your Yeah, your computer chip that's attached to your bank card and you tap it that tap pay or your phone or whatever and you can buy stuff. Well, eventually they want to get rid of cash. They want everything to go to digital, everything to go to a a system to where they can track every thing that you buy, everything that you do, everything that you look at.
They will know it. They'll know everything about you. Now, at this moment, you can still buy stuff with cash and, you know, get away with a few things, but there's coming a day where that cash is going to be worthless. It will be worth nothing. And if you don't have a digital ID or or digital money in the bank or your your credit card in your hand, eventually they want to get rid of telephones and uh everything will be u neurolked in your head. They've got a a machine right now, a robot that'll actually you sit down in that seat. It's neurolink. You sit down in that seat right there and a robot will cut your head open, take and put a computer chip in there and hook up all these sensors to your brain and you will basically be like God.
You'll know everything. You can download all this information in your brain. But the only thing is they will have total control over you. I mean, if anything can be hacked or programmed, you're going to become a machine and you're going to be part of this end time. Um, I don't know what you would call it, but um it's a system set up to where if you don't have it, you're not going to be able to buy or sell. Now, I truly believe that that we will be raptured. A lot of I've hear so much things about the rapture. Some people don't think the rapture is going to happen or happens at the end of what they call a seven-year tribulation period, which the Bible does not say anywhere about a seven-year tribulation period.
It does say that there will be a covenant signed with the many for seven years. In the middle of that, that's when Jesus Christ himself says in the middle when you shall see the abomination of desolation spoken by the prophet Daniel, stand in the holy place. Whosoever readeth, let him understand. For then shall great tribulation happen since never was before and never will be again. That happens in the middle of a seven-year covenant signed with the many with these Arab nations and with Israel. Now, what's crazy is in Daniel chapter 2, King Nebuchadnezzar was given a dream of him being the head leader from him all the way down to the 10 toad kingdoms. Daniel chapter 7 gives us the nations that'll be upon the earth when Jesus returns.
All these are diverse diverse nations. Um all every one of these are a different study in itself and I could be more than happy to go into with anybody and show you. But you got the seven heads which is you got behold I show you a a lion a lion shall come up have eagle's wings. She stood there and and beheld until the wings were plucked out and stood upon the earth separate as a man and a man's heart was given to it. If you look at the animal symbols, we came from Great Britain, which is the animal symbol of the the lion. We are the eagle and then Russ is the bear. You got the foreheaded leopard, which is Germany. Now, all of these exact same beast symbols that are in Revel or that are yeah in Revelation 13 come from Daniel chapter 7.
If you go to Revelation 13, they're all in that exact same sevenheaded beast, the uh four heads of the the leopard, the the lion, the bear, and the only thing that's missing is the eagle wings. It says, "I give a few verses before that, it says, I give two great wings of an eagle to take care of Israel from the face of the serpent for a time, time, and a dividing time." So, it doesn't actually say Israel. It says it's the woman which brought forth the manchild, which is the nation of Israel. But um we are taking care of Israel right now. The whole world is going to come down against United States and Israel. You according to the world, United States is the great Satan. Israel's the little Satan.
U the whole world is going to fight against Israel and the United States according to Revelation chapter 13. We're seeing this unfold right now in front of our eyes. Israel and and the United States is going to war and they're starting war with Iran. Uh Russia's already uh said that they were going to uh be on Iran's side. Um all of all of this stuff is coming together right now um as we speak as this video is coming out. And another thing too in Daniel chapter 2, it talks about the 10 tokens and it says it'll be partly iron and partly clay. Well, I've done some research. I mean, we know I'm just giving you an overview of all of it and we can go into great details in I need to do that in each little thing, but the iron mixed with clay.
Now, we know there's going to be a covenant sign with the many, which is Arab nations, which in their Quran, it talks about them being the iron. And we know from the Bible that God's people are the clay. They're going to mingle themselves together, but it's not going to last. It's going to be broken apart. in the middle of that seven-year covenant. During that seven-year covenant, that first three and a half years, it's going to look like peace on earth, Israel's going to be able to rebuild their third temple. They're going to do their animal sacrifices again because they do not believe that Jesus Christ was the ultimate sacrifice. So, they're going to go back to the the Torah, uh, the first five books of Moses.
They've got to do all the animal sacrifices and everything, um, which God does not want them to do right now, but they're going to do it anyway. Um, it's that during that first part, it looks like everything's going to be fine. There's not going to be any more wars. Israel's at peace. All these Arab nations are at peace. Everything's looking good. And the Bible says, Jesus says, "For yourselves know perfectly that the dead Lord comes as a thief in a night. When they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon him." What is this whole thing doing right now? Trump is trying to go bring peace through strength and uh this all of this thing this this is crazy too. Trump's board of peace right now I think it's got eight members at the top.
It's it's set like a pyramid. Trump is at the very top and then there's going to be 10 people, 10 rulers underneath that and then underneath that is going to be a lot of nations. But there's going to be 10 kings, 10 people that he confided in. And these 10 are going to control the world. And not just the Gaza um thing at this moment, but they're going to actually, he's even said it, you can look it up. It's a it's a member and a board member that's going to take the affairs of the whole world. If anybody's got a problem, these 10 people are going to be the one who look and see what can be done about this. Bible says in the days of these 10 kings, the king of kings shall come and set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed.
Now, it talks about the fourth beast is which will be the fourth kingdom upon the earth. And in the book of Daniel, it talks about God's going to set up his kingdom. He's going to take down the dominions of this world, the kingdoms of this world. He's going to set up his kingdom, which shall be an everlasting kingdom and never be destroyed. Now, all of this stuff looks like it's happening today. I would love it if I was wrong, but I'm pretty sure looking at God's word, we are right here. I'm going to confi finish. This is what a lot of people don't realize in in Ezekiel 38. It says after many days shall it be visited in the latter days and there shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword.
Now we know that the nation of Israel was bought brought back and is gathered out of many people against the mountains of Israel which have been always a waste. Now, this land was a wasteland for thousand 2,000 years or more until the nation of Israel come back till its land and and it started um growing forth leaves um wheat uh grass and herbs and um honey and milk and I mean it's it's a land grown flowing with milk and honey. Now it says um it says but is brought back forth out of the nations and they shall dwell safely all of them. Well right now they're not dwelling safely but there's coming a point where they are going to dwell safely. It says thou talking about Persia and all that says thou shalt ascend and come like a storm.
Thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land. Thou and all the bands and many people with thee. So, all of these people are going to come down against Israel at the moment. But after that, there's going to be a covenant sign. There'll be a seven-year covenant sign with the many. That first three and a half years will be a time of peace. It says when they say peace and safety, then sudden in destruction comes on. So, at this moment, there's going to be peace and safety. But this is what God says. Thus sayith the Lord God, after the peace and safety, it shall also come to pass at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think of an evil thought, and thou shalt say, I will go to the land of the unwalled villages.
Now, this is Israel living in peace at the moment. Looks like they're tearing their walls down. Everything's fine. Everything looks good. It says uh he said, "And thou shalt say, I will go to the land of the unwalled villages, and I will go to them that are at rest and dwell safely." Remember the Bible tells us, Jesus said, "When they see peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, and they shall not escape." So, this is right here telling us he's going to go to them that are rest that dwell safely. all of them that uh dwell without walls, having neither bars nor gates, to take a spool, and to take a prey, to turn thy hand to the desolate places that are now inhabited. They're Israel's back in their land, and they are inhabited. and upon the people that are gathered out of all the nations, that's all the descendants of Israel uh the uh the Jewish people.
It said they were taken out of all the nations which have they have gotten cattle and goods and dwelt in the midst of the land. So there this is coming this is like a two-part I mean they got to have war so they can sign a a covenant. So this the only way to bring peace is through strength. So they're going this war is going to go on. I believe also and this the same war is the six trumpet era which is going to kill a third part of mankind. Um I believe it's going to come nuclear. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see that I'm wrong because God's word is not wrong. I may misinterpret it but I don't think I am. I think this is what God has set me up for in these last days is to show people what is happening in his word.
Now, we know that we are raptured out in a moment in twinkling at the last trump. So, if you look at what happens in the book of Revelation at the last trump, it says, "Woe unto the habits of the earth and the sea, for the devil's come down to you having great wrath because he knows he had but a short time. But rejoice in heaven and ye that dwell in them for your salvation has come." That's in Revelation 11 starting at 15. U when the seventh angel begins to sound the seventh trumpet. Um so during the sixth trumpet era we can see what's going on. Says measure the temple. It's talking about two witnesses will be prophesying the land. It talks about uh Satan will be able to kill them and their dead bodies lay a street for three and a half days.
It said the whole world saw them. That couldn't happen till this generation gave gifts one to another because they tormented everybody that was on the earth. After three and a half days, the breath of life entered into them and they stood upon their feet, dusted themselves off and and ascended into heaven. And the Bible says that the seventh, which is the third woe comes quickly. So, we're going to see the two prophets prophesying in Israel for that first three and a half years. We're going to see their dead bodies laying in the street for three and a half days. We will see their dead bodies raised to life. The breath of God will entered into them and they will ascend into heaven. And then right after that, shortly after that, the rapture of the church will happen.
The rapture of the church will not happen at any moment just like people have said. Now, in saying that, we don't know when our last breath here is on earth. We could die in our sleep tonight or whatever. So, we always need to be ready to meet our Lord and Savior at any moment. But it's as current as concerning the rapture of the church. We know that Satan is bound at the battle of Armageddon. We know he only has time, time, and the dividing of time when h e is cast to the earth at in the middle of a seven-year covenant. So, and we know that moment when Satan enters the antichrist body and dwells on the earth for that last three and a half years, the church will be taken up for the marriage supper of the lamb.
We will come back with him. Revelation chapter 19 to watch him uh with the sword of his mouth smite the nations has come down against Israel. This this this is all happening right now. I mean so many Bible prophecies are coming to pass you can't even keep up with all God likens it likened to birth painans. When um when a woman is pregnant and getting closer to having the little babies, the pain start to come. The closer it is, the pain starts getting great and multiply and and more intensity and more quickly. And we're seeing all of this happening right now. I mean, the the prophecies are being un unfolded right in front of our eyes. Uh the nation of Israel coming back to their land. They're fixing to build the third temple. uh the the Sanhedrin which is the the 71 high priests of Israel which was the overseers of the temple the first and second temple temple are now here and said this temple will be rebuilt in their lifetime which is our lifetime this is the temple that this world leader is going to stand in claiming to be the Messiah uh or the savior of the world however he claims himself to be God because in second Thessalonians and this is another thing that really got me uh Bible says Um it says we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together into him that you be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled as letters from us or anything. says, "Do not be deceived.
For that day will not come will not come until they come ath fallen away first and a man of sin which will be Satan will be revealed the son of predition who exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he as God sits in a temple of God showing himself that he is God." So that's going to happen at the abomination of desolation. This world leader is going to stand in the Jewish rebuilt temple claiming to be the Messiah. Bible says that night it's in the book of Luke. He says when you see that those who be on the housetop don't come back to get their stuff. Those who be in a field don't come back to get flee for great tribulation. And Bible says I tell you that night one shall be taken and one shall be left.
We're going to see the abomination of desolation all set up. The Bible says the day that we see this world leader claiming to be the Messiah, I tell you that night one shall be taken and one shall be left. Now, I can't tell you the day or the hour that world leader is going to stand in that Jewish rebuilt temple claiming to be the Messiah. But when we see that that night, we're going to be gone. We're going to go to the marriage supper of the lamb. We're going to be with Jesus Christ for three and a half years. We're going to come back with him. He's going to put down the armies of this world and we're going to witness that. So, we got to be there to come back with him. Now a lot of people talk you know the there I know the the word rapture is not in the Bible but the resurrection is or the catching away is the teaching is there.
Um we know that there's been quite a few resurrections if you call it. Uh we know that um uh we know that um Elijah was taken up without dying. We know that when Jesus ascended, he was ascended into heaven and when he died, many of the graves were broken up. They ascended. The two witnesses are going to uh be resurrected and descend into heaven. the church will be resurrected and ascend into heaven. And those who make it through the great tribulation will their dead bodies, they're going to be taken up. Also, at the end during the battle of Armageddon, he's going to gather all the people up together. So, there's quite a few resurrections, but there's one main one that we're talking about, which is called the rapture of the church.
Is the the rapture of the saints. Not all the church not all people that call ourselves church people are going to go to heaven that's a that's another that that is so sad Bible talks about you know one day when we're going to stand and Jesus said you know depart from me I never knew you and he was like you know um he said did we not prophesy in thy name and do all these great miracles and do this and Jesus said I don't even know who you are depart from me so there's going to be a lot of church people a lot of people Bible talks about wide is this path that leadth unto destruction, but narrow is the path that leadth uh unto righteousness, and few be thereof that find it. The only way that anybody is going to meet God the Father is through Jesus Christ.
Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and life. No man gets to the father except through me." Jesus said, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever shall believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not come to the world to destroy it, but through him you may be saved." So Jesus set a plan of salvation. The wickedness of the world is crazy right now. And you would be surprised at the wickedness. I'm going to do some more videos and and explain some of the wickedness that's going on in the world. Um, it would blow your mind. It's it's wicked. It's not just adultery. I'm talking about bad things and sacrifice under idols and what they do and stuff.
It's uh it's it's a heartbreaking, but it's happening. And u God is furious over this. This is one of the reasons that God is going to allow the nation of Israel to go through this great tribulation, Satan's wrath. It is because God is punishing the nation of is going to punish them through the great tribulation. And Ezekiel, I mean, and Zechariah says only a third part of Israel is going to make it through the fire. So when people say God's not going to allow this to happen to his people, well, they don't know what their Bible says. Bible says he's got he's going to allow Satan to have great tribulation upon them. If God allowed Satan to persecute Job, which was a righteous man and did nothing wrong in the sight of the Lord, don't think that he won't let let him do that to us wicked people that's here on the earth.
There's a lot of wickednesses going on and God will have the last say. He will bring his people through wrath. Now I'm not talking about the true Bible says if they persecute you remember they persecuted me first. So we are going to go through some persecution but we will not have to go through Satan's wrath that's going to be poured upon about the whole earth. Um we will be taken up the resurrection the rapture will be called up to be with the Lord and so we shall ever be with the Lord. And that will happen 3 and 1/2 years before the battle of Armageddon. 3 and 1/2 years into a 7-year covenant signed with an the many I'm trying to stick with biblical words here so that we don't get mixed up a little bit.
Um so but before that happens, this war and I believe it's the war then right now is and again I hope I'm wrong but I I don't think I am. It's going to wind up killing the third part of mankind. And then after that, they're going to say, "Hey, we got to sign this covenant. We've got to uh confirm this covenant with the many. We're not we're there's not going to be nothing left of us. We've got to do this." They do that. Everything's peaceful. Nobody wants to go to war because they just seen billions of people perish. They don't want to see that no more. I mean, the population of the earth has gone down by a third. I mean, one out of every three people is going to die. So after that, there will be a covenant sign.
There's going to be peace in the land. But after that, when they say finally, we have peace and safety, then the real great tribulation will happen. And that's the last part of that three and a half year covenant signed with the many. Um, I know this is a lot a lot of teaching. I'm trying to get some of this in without running down too many rabbit holes. uh to show you what Ezekiel is talking about and what's happening um in the world. And in Ezekiel 38:17 through uh 29, this talks about what's going to happen. It says, "And thou, son of man, thus sayith the Lord God, speak unto every feathered foul and to every beast of the field, assemble thyelves and come together uh yourselves on every side to my sacrifice."
This will be at the battle of Armageddon. Revelation chapter 19 and 18. It says uh that I do sacrifice for you even as a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel that you may eat flesh and drink blood. Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth and of the rams and the lambs and the goats and the bullocks and all of them feeding. And you shall eat the fat until you be full. and um drink the blood until I be drinking of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. So um so the h the whole house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God. Now, this is the great tribulation. All this stuff what I was just talking about before that um it's so this is happening so that the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God from the day from that day and forward.
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity because they transp transass against me. Therefore I hid my feast from them and gave them into the hands of their enemies. So they fell they all by the sword. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them and hid my face from them. Therefore thus said the Lord God. Now I will bring again the captivities of Jacob and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel. And I will be jealous for my holy name. And after they had borne their shame and all their trespasses which they have trespassed against me when they dwell safely in their land and none made them afraid. when I have brought them again from all the people and gathered them out of their enemy's lands and I am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.
So all of this stuff that's happening with Israel, a lot of people saying that this is not the Israel that the Bible prophesied. It is the Israel of the God pro prophesied against it is a wicked nation at this moment but God's going to take care of it when he comes back at the mount of uh olives. He's going to at that moment and from that moment on he's going to cleanse the house of Israel. They're going he's going to be their God. They will be his people. But at this moment, the world is in a wicked, perverse generation, and God's going to deal with it. But all of us, all of you who have put your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and accepted his free gift of salvation, you won't have to go through the wrath of Satan, which is going to come upon that last that great tribulation.
We will be caught up in the air, and so we shall ever be with the Lord. This mortal's body shall be put shall put on immortality. This wickedness that we have within us will put on a body which will never know wickedness again in the flesh. Um that is a is a great time to look forward to. Um sorry I'm a little nervous. I'm trying to get all this. I've got so many rabbit trails I'm going to go down and um and try to hit, but I try to just keep to what's happening in the world today. What's going on in Israel today? what's happening. And uh and then I I'll try to get on some of these other rabbit trails and stuff and go into more detail of like the nations that'll be upon the earth, the 10 toad kingdoms, the iron mixed with clay.
Um we know that Israel has the iron dome with that that iron dome is to protect them from the Arab nations. We know that Abraham, father Abraham had many descendants. Not just Jacob, whose name was turned to Israel, but he had many descend, many people. It was only the promise, the land to the nation of Israel was promised to the descendants of actually uh uh Jacob, which his name was then turned into Israel. But Abraham had many, and that's what all these people are fighting over. They think that that promised land belongs to theirs, belongs to them through Abraham, but they misunderstood that God said it's going to be through Jacob, which name was turned to Israel. So, we we can see all this stuff.
Um, you know, I hope some of this may help you some and I'd be more than happy to try to answer any questions that you may have. I don't have the answers to everything, but I truly believe that we are living in the last days. Jesus, the disciples came to Jesus have an exact same question that we have today. When will be the sign of thy coming in the end of the age? And Jesus goes into great detail in Matthew 24 and tells his disciples. He says, you know, they'll very first thing he says, do not be deceived. They ask him when he's coming back and he said, don't be deceived. So he says, nation will rise against nation. There'll be pestilence in diverse places, earthquakes, u just all of this stuff's going to come about.
But then he goes into explaining the abomination of desolation which will be the great tribulation. When you see that great tribulation is going to happen. So and and it talks about in the book of Luke when you see all the armies come pass around Jerusalem you know that the desolation is near. Well what are we seeing right now? We're saying all the armies can pass around Jerusalem. So we know that the desolation is near. Jesus after that after he gives that he says learn learn the parable of the fig tree when you see branches yet tender put forth leaves you know summer's near likewise when you see all these things happen and know it's near even at the door I tell you this generation this people that sees this this people this generation shall not pass away till all these things be fulfilled heaven and earth shall pass away but my word shall never pass away we are living in the time right before the return of Jesus Christ we're going to see some more prophecies prophes uh some more of these prophesied prophecies come to pass before the rapture.
We will see a third part of mankind die. We will see the third temple built. We will see the antichrist which comes claiming to be the messiah, an angel of light deceive so many people. Bible says if it were possible, he would be able to deceive the very elect. This man is going to look like the savior of the world. He's going to get rid of all the aring and all this stuff. looks like everything's going to be peaceful. There's another thing. Bible says that Jesus comes back in an hour which you think not. Right now, we're all thinking he's going to come back at any moment because of all these wars and all this chaos, all this stuff that's going on in the world. But when there's a time of peace, everything is going well.
The world is prospering. Everything looks like every Nobody's going to be looking for the return of Jesus. Everybody's going to be uh giving him marriage just like it was in the days of Noah. They'll be giving him marriage. They'll be dancing, drinking, doing all this thing. They won't even be thinking about looking at Bible prophecy because there's going to be peace on the earth. And the Bible says when you see that when when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them. Say it says for yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes as a thief. When they say that and it says you are not children of you are children of the day, you're not children of darkness. This day will not overtake you as a thief.
So, we are to see this. Uh, we can see this and God commanded us to see this and and now we can see it. We can see all of this unfolding right in front of our eyes. Um, a lot of people don't know what's going on in the world because they don't study Bible prophecy. They don't know what's happening. They just see a war in Israel. They don't know anything that it uh contains with the Bible and what God has said about it and what is what we should be looking forward to. And uh Bible says, you know, what we got to remember is all of this stuff God prophesied, but if you're a child of God, you ain't got to worry about none of it. If if we do get blown up in a in a war or whatever, we get to live with Jesus Christ forever and ever.
The only people that has any fear is the people who have not given their life to Jesus Christ because we don't know where these nuclear bombs or whatever is going to be set off. We don't know who of the one out of three is going to be left behind or left here. There's going to be a lot of people die and we're playing Russian roulette with our lives every day apart from Jesus Christ. You know, this is not a fear kind of t tactic. This is to show God's faithfulness, his truth, his love bestowed upon us. For God so loved us. Even while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. All we have to do is accept his free gift of salvation and we don't have to worry about all this stuff that's going on in the world.
If we die, we going to be with the Lord. What what what better thing can we do? I mean, so we always need to be ready. We need to be teaching other people the things that's happening in the world. We need to be ready ourselves. We need to tell our loved ones, our families that the end is coming very soon. All of this is prophesied in the Bible. comes to an end. Every I mean it it's not going to last forever. There's coming a time where there will be a covenant. Three years into that covenant, the rapture of the church. Seven years into that covenant, the battle of Armageddon. And then go and when God comes back with his saints, he's going to set up the millennial reign of Christ. So, I'm excited.
I mean, there's these are excited times we're living in. But we need to teach others um what's happening, what's going on in the world, not to be fearful. God said, "I did not give you the spirit of fear, but of truth and a sound mind." We're supposed to have a sound mind in the midst of all of this stuff and all this chaos that's going on. Um, I'm tickled. Uh, I think you can see the excitement. I could go on for hours, but I'm I'm going to cut it right now and I'm going to do some more videos later. Uh, I love y'all. That's the reason I come to you all and share these videos with you or share this information with you because a lot of people don't know what's going on. I I want to try to show y'all what's happening in the world.
I love you guys. Uh I pray for you. Uh I pray that you give your life to Jesus Christ. If you do not know him, today is the day. Choose you today whom you shall serve. Um, I love you and um I'll see you soon, Lord willing.
