(00:00):
It is fifteen minutes after the houron your Celebration radio network. This is
Bill the phone number eight hundred seventwo one nine three three one eight hundred
seven two one ninety three thirteen andI am joined in the studio this morning
with Pastor Ryan, John and Terryand we were having quite the conversation.

(00:25):
Well, good morning to everyone,Good morning, good morning. Thank you
again for being here today and happyto be here. Yes, on October
seventh, thousands of rockets rained downon Israel as how Hamas gunmen invaded the
land in a surprise offensive attack,and thousands of people have been murdered and

(00:45):
kidnapped, and with civilian populations,young women, children specifically targeted, and
the unbelievable images and accounts of theseatrocities leave us in shock, with grieving
hearts. That is a quote fromPastor Greg Glory, and he says the
root of this tragedy, more thanjust Thomas and Israel, is the hatred

(01:11):
of the Jewish people, and we'reseeing it more and more. And John
was just saying something about, youknow, it being in the the news,
and we've got campuses all over ourcountry, not not not just in
America. I mean, it's happeningeverywhere, and you know, I'm very
thankful for leadership that says that westand for Israel, even President Biden and

(01:38):
his stance now trying to get aidand and other things that are taking place
and what's going on. I mean, I am really shocked at the I
guess I shouldn't be, because it'sthe it is, it's the end times.
Yes, And you know a lotof people ask, you know,

(02:00):
if Hamas is even in Uh it'ssupposed to be in the end times.
And you know, we we goback to a Jewish baby boy in Exodus
chapter one, Ah that the murderof Pharaoh's order. You know, so
we we we think about things likethat. We think about Abraham and and

(02:23):
uh, is it Hagar that's Ishmael'smother. Yeah, and so we've got
that division that started right then andthere, so we you know, yes,
they are in the Bible, youknow, because it doesn't just have
to be Hamas. It's anyone thatgoes up against the spirit and spirits.

(02:44):
And that's what Greglorie was saying toit is a spirit. So God chose
the Jews. We need to standbehind them because then we'll be blessed.
The Bible says, yes, sowe don't we don't really want that curse
part, you know, here inAmerica so or anywhere. But people are

(03:07):
just not paying attention to that atall. And the people who were coming
out in favor of Pealestin, theydon't believe anything you just said. Oh
I know, Yeah, that's theproblems. Don't have never even heard what
you just said. So right,and you pastor Ryan, you've been there,
You've been in that area in theMiddle East, and and your brother

(03:28):
and and I've heard, you know, the stories from Aaron and some of
them have when he went over andyou know, and things like that,
and I won't get into any details, but just just that spirit alone,
you know, with we go allthe way up to the nineteen forty one
and Hitler in the Holocaust and andthen you know everything ever since night was

(03:53):
it forty eight, nineteen forty fourteenth, Yeah, that's where we became a
nation, and then any everything afterthat, it's you know, uh yeah,
end times, yeah, definitely,yeah, so yeah they are yeah,
yeah, yeah. So it's beenalmost three weeks since since the attack,
and yeah, yeah, tomorrow willbe the third exactly twenty first day.

(04:17):
Yeah, I'll always remember it was. It was the day before PM,
yeah, right, exactly, youguys were in New York. I
was gonna get to that coming up. Yeah, when it when it happened,
right, But I mean what youhave been posting, you know,
the videos and things. Yeah,we're going to get to that this morning
as well. Yeah, the protestsand and the non protests, the actual

(04:39):
gathering of support. I love thatvideo where the favor yeah, in favor
of Israel. So we're going toget to all of that this morning.
We'll try to talk about more ofthe end times, but I really want
to focus well see, I meanit is there's somewhere so yeah, so
much going on in the world,you guys, Yes, yeah, that
whole class. Yeah. Yeah,So we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna talk

(05:00):
about this this morning. So ournumber eight eight hundred seven two one nine
three one three one eight hundred seventwo one nine three one three. Yes,
I'm a gentile, but I'm abeliever, and as a believer,
we should behind should stand with Israel. Well yeah, it's so obvious from
scripture. Yeah, but which abrain, right, which is not to

(05:24):
say that every Christian worldwide is supportingis rue. In fact, in fact
many maybe most. I'm not evensure what the numbers are are on the
Palestinian side. Yeah, I justdon't get that. Yeah, Like I
say, yeah, if you youknow, if you don't know God's word,
then you're open to deception. Yeah, very much. So yeah,
on this and everything. But thisis the INtime story. I mean,

(05:45):
I mean, you know, itdoes a mash up in the INtime story.
Well we know, maybe not thatword, Yeah, the word doesn't
show up. Yeah, but theword United States doesn't. The term the
United States of America doesn't show upeither. We're in the INtime story,
right, the world. The nameRussia doesn't show up, right, and
they're in the entire story, right, So in fact, the name Iron
doesn't show up. But they're verymuch part of the INtime story. So

(06:05):
so yeah. But it's the spiritof things that that are you know,
passed down, you know, fromgeneration generation, and that just doesn't change.
It's amazing when you look back thousandsof years, the exact same you
know, spiritual war that was happeningis happening today and it's the same players,
right, It barely shifts from myplace to place. So so so
Hamas rules a little strip of landcalled the Gaza Strip, you guys know,

(06:30):
right, and I have been thereback in twenty fourteen. I actually
spent three days in Gaza City.Scary, very very difficult to go there.
Had to go through you know,of course, the the Israeli you
know checkpoint. Yeah, I meanjust you know, fully searched and interrogory
and all that. But then youhad to go through the PLO checkpoint once
you you know, actually cross overin Nagaza. And then because at that

(06:51):
time, Fatah which is the PLO, and Hamas weren't getting along very well
because Hamas murders, you know,FATA members, that's Amas, that's how
they do politics, right, wehad to get in a car and go
a mile south to the Hamas checkpoint. So you know, within within
an hour being inside Gaza, I'mbeing interrogated by Hamas and my luggage search

(07:12):
and all that. So so youknow, I know these guys and I've
seen, you know, what's goingon in Gaza City. But but but
you know, thirty five hundred yearsago, when when Israel was originally a
nation, right when it first youknow came to be. Let me see
that again, those three thousand andfive, that's how long the jams had
been on the land, right threeyears. There was another group of people
rualing the exact same strip. Iremember when we were in Gaza. We

(07:36):
we I you know, talk mygroup, the driver, the guy in
charge, and they're all, no, no, we can't do that to
I want to go down the south. I head toward the Egyptian border,
and we they still would only go, you know, not all the way
because isis at that time, waswas you know, in control down the
south, and I didn't I didn'twant, you know, I don't go
that far time, right, likea mas I kind of get how they

(07:56):
work isis that they'll just they'll cutyour head off on the spot. Right.
Yeah. But so we're going downwith yeah, just you know,
wrong religion whatever. So but sowe're going down this thing called the Beach
Road right on the Mediterranean coast.And and and the pastor who is from
Gaza, who was leading our group. It's a very small group. He
you know, there was like threeof us. He said, yeah,

(08:18):
you know, Goliath used to writehis chariot up and down this this road.
So it's a long story short thatwas the Philistines exact same place,
So that spirit is still there.That's that that is historically considered you know,
in a in a way Israel's youknow, ultimate arch enemy than the
ones that's who they are at thecabinet. Yeah that one time, right,
oh yeah, but but yeah,it's weird, how like a spirit

(08:41):
will will you know, stick withit? But now today, so this
wasn't the case back in those days. The pelt Philistines and Persians have probably
never even heard of each other,you know, way back then. Well
yeah, because I mean a lotof distance separated down so yeah, yeah,
there's no no, you know,no social media or any of that.
But the the End Time story saysthat that it's Iran Persia you know

(09:05):
perchas you know, modern day Iran, that they're going to be the ones
who are the principal backers of theAnti Christ when he comes. That's going
to be the main belligerent against Israel. Iran is in the Great End Times
war. The culminates in the Belleof Armageddon, so what we call the
Battle of Armageddon. So so soyou know, you know, is there
a connection today between you know,Iran and Hamas and these other groups that

(09:26):
are I don't know if you guyssaw this, but I think it's just
yesterday came out the news that youknow, upon a little bit of investigation
five about five hundred Hamas and IslamicChiha that's the other group in Gaza fighters
in the last two months or thetwo months leading up to this attack.

(09:46):
We're actually in Iran. Five hundredof them they found into Iran for special
training and instruction and all that.I hadn't heard that see that one Iran
from day almost from day one withwith Hamas. It actually it actually wasn't
completely like this in the very beginningwith the Maas back in two thousand and
seven, when Hamas first you know, took over the Gaza strip. Back

(10:07):
then Islamiji had again another group there. They're the ones who you know,
do do a lot of Mayhem downthere. They they've always been a direct
proxy of Iran, okay, SoIslamichi had in Gaza is Iran, okay,
But Hamas was kind of like incompetition with him and all that.
Well, Hamas needed a backer,they needed, you know, somebody did

(10:28):
to like and Iran's like you know, let us our one goal in life
is to wipe his or from thefrom the map, commit genocide against the
Jews worldwide, eliminate every Jew onthe planet. Right, So Amas thought
that sounded pretty good. So soHamas now is a direct proxy of Iran.
And it's interesting because the Endtime storydoesn't specifically state what the what the

(10:50):
motive is, what's the justification forthe Antichrist invading Israel? And why does
the you know, most of theworld go along with this and everything the
Palestinian conflict quote unquote that it justit just explains it perfectly. This is
and we see it, We seeit right before eyes, right, this
is the this is the context thatthe antichrisis is going to come in on.
Is the evil Israeli's persecuting the poorPalestinians. So do you guys remember

(11:15):
what I taught a week ago?So, uh, I don't know if
you remember. It was such apassing comment. But in the three weeks
since this happened, what's most interestingto me. You know, I'm always
paying attention you guys know that,just like you guys do. And and
what I've been really paying attention tois is one of the questions that I'm
getting. So so everyone who knowsme knows that I'm I'm you know,

(11:35):
very very pro Israel, pro Jewish, you know, you know, the
Endtime story all that, right,and so and you know, everyone who
I'm in, you know, relationship, real relationship with they are too,
the very pro Israel, pro Jewish. But I've been surprised at the relatives
and friends and loved ones and andyou know, even like you know,

(11:56):
very very close family members who havecome to me. You know, hey,
I know that Hamas is evil andwhat they did was wrong, but
you know, can you explain tome because you know, this friend is
asking me. I think they're askingme. Okah that this friend, you
know, I'm having this conversation.I've had a lot of this so much,
and you know, I don't knowhow to explain to them why Israel
has more of a right to theland than the Palestinians. Didn't Israel come

(12:18):
in, I mean, they weren'teven there for two thousand years and didn't
they just come in, you know, in the last century and and you
know take it over and they youknow, they have all the guns and
they have all the tanks, andthey have all the fighter jets and the
Palestinians, you know, aren't theykind of like in a prison there and
they're persecuted and all. And didn'tthe Jews go in and steal this land

(12:39):
from the Palestinian people and you know, the nation of Palestine? Right?
Do you guys remember I remember mentionedthat? Yes? So what what do
you guys know about? Like?How would how would you answer that?
I'm curious how would you answer thatquestion? Wow, we're going to answer
that coming up because we need totake a break. I need to catch
my breath and take it off.I got to think you're the politically correct

(13:01):
way to answer that. Yeah,and listen, we're just getting started here.
This is Yes, it is.It is a firm Foundation by Cody
Carns. Coming up next on yourCelebration Radio Network our number eight hundred and
seven to two one nine three onethree, Passion and Christian standfill with Follow
You Anywhere and Your Celebration Radio Networkat sixteen minutes to the top of the

(13:26):
hour. This is Bill and thenumber eight hundred and seven to one nine
three one three In the studio withme, I have Pastor Ryan, John
and Terry and we've been talking about, well, what's been happening in the
Middle East in Israel, and wow, what a hmmm mm hmmm. So
much to unpack from what's going onthere right now. And we were talking

(13:50):
earlier about what your your trips thereand your your first hand knowledge of the
area. Yeah, and there's theheadlines. Are leaders of Hamas Hasla Islamic
jihad meat in Lebanon. We haveRussia says it's rehearsed a massive nuclear strike.

(14:15):
We've got Ukraine evacuates a thousand childrenfrom front lines as fighting intensifies.
I mean, the I d Fcarries out most extensive ground incursion into Gaza
strips since the war began. Iheard, I saw something that they were

(14:35):
able to. The I d Factually killed off some of the top leadership.
They've gotten several top commanders planned oreven even participated in the right So
things are they move quick quickly?Yeah, they do. And then you
know, we get what you witnessedin New York just a couple of weeks,

(15:00):
even a couple of weeks ago.Yeah, and that's what I mean,
what did three weeks ago is justyou know, beyond atrocious. I
even thought about that on the drivein, like like you know, you
know this happened, this happened,and I thought, you know, let's
not even say it on the radio, like like what you know what a
mos did to the civilians down in? But they targeted civilians and of course

(15:20):
that you know, everyone knows that'sagainst the you know, the rules of
warfare quote unquote, yeah, rulesof engagement. Engagement. The animals they're
monsters. And I'll just say it, you know, I mean, go
and get mad and me on theirbut they're animals, and they're monsters,
you know. And I have Palsenianfriends. I'm not talking about the Pelsonian
people right now, the group,yeah, which which are just you know,

(15:43):
as demonically possessed you can get.But you know, they've been you
know, being compared to the Nazis, and I'm thinking, wait, wait
a minute. The Nazis at leasttried to hide what they were doing.
And this isn't like, say,the Nazis weren't that bad. I mean
that, yeah, the Nazis,I mean that the Holocaust, like nothing
worse than that. But but andthen even you know, they you know,
you know, Hitler, this isso terrible, even say this.

(16:03):
The thing about this, okay,Hitler you know, would send out,
you know, the soldiers and theythey when they first began the campaign of
extremely Jewess, which really goes backto nineteen thirty eight yearly, right,
you know, before we ever gotinvolved in the war. And so they'd
you know, have them go outand dig ditches and they'd line them up
and then the soldiers of standing withrifles and chewed them right. And of

(16:26):
course they were targeting the same thingeverything, you know, men, women
and children, babies, elderly whatever. But but the way that Hama so
so what what the what the youknow, you know, the Nazi commanders,
you know, notice is that they'retheir soldiers were starting to have problems,
you know, get very very depressed, i mean die right, murgerings
and people, and so they theycame up with ways to to to institutionalize

(16:48):
murder. Okay, so they youknow, that's how they built the concentration
camps and had the gas chambers andall that. What Hamas did? I
mean that the Nazis couldn't do it. That's that's my point is that the
Nazis didn't even have it in themto do to the Jews. What Hamas
just did to the Jewish civilians downaround Gaza, it's just shocking, you

(17:10):
guys know, you know, ifyou want to know about it, you
know what they did to babies,you know, et cetera, et cetera.
Yeah, so I've been to thesecommunities down there. So when I
first went to Israel back in twentytwelve, and I just got back,
you know, a few months ago, as you guys know, from my
fourth trip you know, to Israelspecifically yeh fifth trip to the Holy Land
if you include Lebanon. But onmy very first trip, I went down
to Storote. I wanted to seeit. So Storote has always been the

(17:33):
main target of Hamas and Zamachiha becauseit's the kind of the most prominent little
community right there on the border,just one mile from the border with Gaza.
But you know, my impression inStarote, you know, it's beautiful.
It's a cute little town, veryvery quaint. There were about five
thousand people living in the town atthat time, and you know there's streets

(17:53):
and schools and school buses and youknow, synagogues and a movie theater and
them all. Right, when Iwent there again, I didn't go on
this last trip. I kind ofwish I had now. But the last
time I was insta rote was intwenty seventeen. By then the population had
grown to fifteen thousand from fifteen thousand, and the first thing I'm thinking,

(18:14):
you know, even in twenty twelve, is known as the bomb shelter capital
of the world because because on everycorner was a bomb shelter, they were
converting all the housing into you know, like that each one would have its
own bomb shelter. The movie theaterwas a bomb shelter, right, So
the high school, the whole highschool was one giant bomb shelter, right,
So why would anyone move their familiesthere? Well, two reasons.

(18:37):
First of all, because it's soexpensive to live in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem,
so people who were working those places. Jerote was functioning as it became
a suburb right of the bigger cities. But still like, okay, it's
cheaper, Am I going to putmy family risk? But the Israelis have
always been so confident that Hamas doesnot have the means or maybe even the

(18:59):
will to do anything like what theyjust did. They were firing rockets,
but there were cheap rockets. Theyyou know, usually missed their targets and
all that. And you know,we have all these bomb shelters, you
know whatever. They even built atrain station by the time I got there
the you know, in twenty seventeen, which was my third time in St.
Road. But and I've been tothe kibbuts Is down there, the
Kibusim, you know, the littleindividual you know, community farms, and

(19:21):
a bunch of them got you know, overrun and the people murdered and everything.
But but but yeah, they youknow, they you know, the
idea of you know, they builtthis wall that was supposed to keep them
out. But but I remember themorning of Saturday, October seventh, so
three weeks ago, when I wokeup and and I heard what had happened.
The first thing that popped in myina, I mean, the first

(19:41):
thing that came out of my mouthwas Hamas just committed suicide. They're done,
There's came my words. I mean, yeah, you know, obviously
I'm not the only ones saying this. Nat Yahoo's saying this. President Biden
even came out and said, yeah, we need em, must be a
limit. I was shocked to hearto hear President Biden say that, because

(20:03):
you know we've talked about that thatthat that you know, he has not
been the most pro Israel president.He's he seems more on the side of
the hell not in this case.This is this is so, this is
so you know, I'm thinking aboutwhat happened. So so you know,
we get the very next day weare scheduled to after this attack, Pam
and Scout and I were scheduled tofly to New York City, which we

(20:23):
you know, arranged this trip,you know, a year in advance.
Whatever. We tried to do ita couple of years ago, four Pam's
fiftieth birthdays. He has PMS fifty. I just said, oh, she's
not ashamed. She looks like she'sthirty. So she had to beg she's
like my wife. It's amazing.Yeah. So anyways, and that was
hard for me because because, uh, you know, this thing is traumatizing

(20:44):
for all of us right right,and I'm thinking, okay, and now
I have to go and you know, do this vacation thing. So uh
but you know, I was reallylooking forward to some time with my wife
and kid and just you know,I'll watch the news, you know,
well, so we we we getto to New York and we're we we're
taking the text across the Queensboro Bridgeinto the city and I get a text
from Pastor Marine, my pastor liveor Family Church, best pastor in the

(21:07):
whole world. All you other ones, you're great, but she's the best.
And she and she wrote to me, she said, hey, I
know what just happened. I know, you know, you know that's your
people over there and you're involved inthis. But she said, just you
know, I have to make myselfleave miniSTR at home. And she said,
you're on vacation with Pam and sguy, so try to focus on
them. And she says it's bestyou can, you know, unless something
happens. Well, by this time, I'd already had this long conversation with

(21:29):
a customs agent in a line atDunkin Donuts in the airport, you know.
JFK. And Pam was interested inall this too, even Skyler and
he told he said, yeah,the whole city is on high alert because
of what happened yesterday in Israel,because they know that New York City is
a target. Listen, this ispart of the end Time story too.

(21:49):
Revelation chapter seventeen and eighteen Babylon theGreat. I've said it before, I
cannot I can say it now,like honestly first hand experience. I love
New York City. I love NewYorkers. I'll explain more later. You
guys will be shocked, like whyI discovered there. But the pizza,
the pizza was the pizza was excellent, The cheesecake was excellent. Right,

(22:12):
The people were not at all whatwas what I was expecting. The politics
were shockingly not what Pam and Iwere expecting. But but anyways, yeah,
so so we know that, youknow, New York City plays in
the Entime story, and that's that'syou know, eventually going to be directly
attacked by the Anti Christ and soso all, and you guys know what

(22:33):
a geek I am. So theone thing, Okay, we'll take you
to see Hamilton Skuyler, you knowwhere you'll see the statue, Liberty Central
Park, the American Museum of NaturalHistory. But I'm going to too where
the United Nations and you guys aregoing with me. So let me make
one comment about that, because that'sthat's kind of what I was working toward.
I think. Uh, And andthen we'll have to go to some
music and everything, right, alittle bit, right, yes, So

(22:55):
so on what day was it?It would have been Thursday Wednesday. Tour
the United Nations. Fantastic, waymore interesting than than I expected. Skyler
Pan same thing, And we actuallygot to go to the General Assembly Hall.
Rely got pictures there, and hewas even gonna let us go.
You haven't posted those yet? Idid. They're on Facebook, okay,
yeah, and double chap to goback and look. But yeah, so

(23:18):
you know there's me in the GeneralAssembly, all right, it is so
cool with with our tour guide.And he was gonna and you know,
I was like major league geeking outwith him, you know, because I'm
in an international relations major, polysidemajor and then all the all the travel
and everything and what had just happenedin Israel. Right, So he's taken
pictures with me, and you know, you know, got to be friends.
What was inter and he was goingto show us the Security Council Chamber

(23:41):
two, but of course they werean emergency session, right, it goes
without saying. So we went tothe door and looked at it and all
that. But but but but Iremember, and he had a group of
like thirty forty people in his tourgroup. And I'm the one, you
know, monopolizing. Of course,you guys know me. But I brought
this thing up with you know,yeah, what just happened in Israel?
You know? And he said,yeah, uh, you know, I

(24:03):
know that the Jews you know,kind of say that, you know,
thousands of years ago they used tolive there, So they think that and
this is that, this is themood in the UN. I'm still calling
this guy my friend, but he'snot like a good will never be a
good friend unless we talk more,right. But but yeah, so think
about that. So the Jews usedto live there, you know, a
few thousand years ago, and nowbased on that they and you know,

(24:25):
based on what the Bible kind ofloosely implies, they think they have this
claim to the land. So thatI was expecting for the United Nations definitely
got that. A lot more tosay about that. Should we take a
break, Yeah, we got totake a break one eight hundred seven two
one nine three one three eight hundredseven two one nine three one three.
And I promised John and Terry arehere as well. Oh, I know

(24:47):
somewhere. I got to take abreath that you. I'm sorry. The
newsboys coming up next with the Greatnessof Our God on your Celebration Radio Network.
That number again, eight hundred sevento one nine three one three Planet
Shakers and Heaven on Earth on yourCelebration Radio Network. We're at fourteen minutes
after the hour. This is builta phone number again eight hundred and seven

(25:10):
two one nine three one three oneeight hundred seven two one ninety three thirteen
and Pastor Bryan John and Terror inthe studio. We've been talking about,
well, the things that have beenhappening in the Middle East and here in
America right and here in America.That's a key point. And to prove
that John and Terror is still here, I want to go back to the
first segment and pose the question thatwe never answered. That's that's why Terror

(25:33):
track Bill, Yeah, and Billare all over the place. So everything
going on over there. The bigquestion is does Palestine really have any right
to this land that they claim theydo? And that the kind of thing
that's that's it's a great question.Another way of saying the question, I
think is do the Palestinians have alegitimate riven? So there you go.
So anyone with any sense at all. Of course they're gonna they're gonna say,

(25:56):
yeah, it was wrong with Hamasta, that was atrocious. But yeah,
but you know it was the thethe UN chief, United Nation Chief
who actually said, you know,and he got in big trouble for this.
He's taken he said, you know, it's of course it's you know,
atrocious, what a mons? Didwe completely you know, reject that.
But this didn't happen in a vacuum. You know, this is because
the Palestinians they you know, they'rethey're they're starving and there's no re and

(26:19):
you know, do they have alegitimate grievance? So so so so here's
the thing. Did the Jews decideafter two thousand years of not being there
to go in and say, youknow, we you know, we want
this land back, you know,because it says something about in the Bible,
you know, something big in theBible. Right, So we're gonna,
we're gonna, you know, beatup these vague and we're gonna get

(26:42):
you know, we're gonna, we'regonna, you know, rip off all
these you know, innocent simple youknow, you know Arab you know,
people living in the in the regionand and the Palestinians, right, and
we're gonna we're gonna take over thenation of Palestine. We're gonna eliminate it.
And we're going to take over thisland for ourselves. This is what
people believe. This is what peoplewrite here in America believe. So our

(27:02):
last day in New York City,there was the one day we didn't have
anything scheduled, right, Yeah,and Pam and Skyler were clothes shopping,
you know, in Times Square.Yeah, and I think they're going back
to the Macy's on thirty fourth Street. I think that was off air,
Yeah, America on thirty four Street. But but you know, I'm taking
a nap, of course, becauseyou guys known me. I always have
to have my nap. So I'mback in the hotel. We're saying about

(27:23):
a block and a half off TimesSquare, and I get a I get
a text from my I am andJohn's thinking, didn't we get off tracking?
Yeah? I got a text frommy sister in law, right,
So I wake up at three fifteen, she said. The text says,
if you're anywhere near Times Square,get out. You know there's there's a
you know, day of jeeha it'sbeen declared by Jimas and it's starting at
three pm. And I look atmy it's three fifteen. Okay, Pam

(27:44):
and Scaler are down there. I'mhere sleeping, right, So first thing
I do I get up. Iopened the window. Listen. Next we're
block and a half again, halfTimes Square, Belvedere Hotel, fantastic place,
and and nothing. I don't hearanything, just hear normal. Well,
you hear a ton, but it'slike normal, always sys right,
no sirens. I go downstairs andthere's five cops in front of our hotel,
just stand there talking. They lookcasual enough. I go up to
them. What's going on? Doyou guys know about this? Yeah,

(28:07):
there's maybe like one hundred people.So okay, I feel better. So
I rush to Times Square just tomake sure everything's normal in Times Square,
tens of thousands of people but havinga good time. Right, I see
the store or payment Skylar or Okay, they're safe, so I think,
you know, I got you know, I'm gonna do my thing. It's
our last day here, so I'mgonna go down at least look at it.
I'll take some pictures whatever. Iwalk a couple blocks away from Times
Square down to forty second Street.They're up on forty fifth and as I'm

(28:32):
walking up, I'm just hearing justthe tremendous noise. I come out.
There's like that, like a constructiontunnel. Right on the sidewalk. I
come out. Thousands of people wavingPalestinian flags. They got their faces covered
with the Palestinian you know, bandanathings, and hundreds of cops everywhere.
You know, it's a big mess. So and maybe we'll get back to
that leader in the show if wehave time. But but the point is

(28:53):
that right here in our own nation, and like you said before, Bill,
and all the college caretases call aliprofessors are coming out, you know,
the Palestinians, you know, havea point. Right, So let's
let's look at this Wikipedia article,because it's Wikipedia is always a great place
to start your research, at leastright just start good overview. It's a
great place to find other articles togo to. Right, That's where you

(29:18):
find your references, and then youcould like you know, it starts your
all your little rabbit trails what everyoneand it always gets a great overview.
Right, So so Bill, whatwhat article do you think that we should
look at to answer this question,do the Palestinians have a legitimate grievance here?
Well, I've got pulled up historyof Palestine, History of Palestine.
Yeah, and so so there areother articles, lots of other articles about

(29:40):
yeah, but there's always blue inkif you've ever been on Wikipedia, lots
of it. But there's a reasonwhy we're going to use this one.
So, Bill, I mean,I'm sorry, John, do you want
to read that first sentage? Oh? Sure, Yeah. The first sentence
is this article is about the historyof Palestine. For the subject with the
Jewish focus, see History of theJews and Judaism in the Land of Israel.
That's how it starts. That's howthe article starts. So and that's

(30:03):
a little like side note, right, so, like kind of like a
warning here, this is what youknow. If this isn't what you want
to you know, study h so, so, but this is what we
want to study because this this isn'tThis is not an article with a Jewish
stint or Jewish land, right,This is not a pro is or article.
This is an article about Palestine,not Israel. This about Palestine,
right exactly, yet right a completelydifferent place, right, so so,

(30:26):
so going through start. It's avery very long article, but I invite
the users, if you're really interestedin answering this question, do the palestin
to have legitimate grievance? Go hereto learn about the nation of Palestine and
the Palestinian people or nationality. Right. So, so going through this,
so so we see that in thearticle it's it's not lying. Okay.
So it it you know, startsout the early you know, you know,

(30:48):
Paleolithic period whatever, but it getsto the time of the Jews when
they entered the land and and theyconquered the people that were there. That
was that was again thirty five hundredyears ago, three five hundred years ago,
Okay, So the Jews went inthere and they established a nation.
Listen, forget the Bible if youwant, just leave it out of the
equation. We don't have to talkabout that. We don't have to talk

(31:08):
about God or God's pend or whatGod promised because people get irritated. Okay,
right, So forget that. Justlook at the secular history of that
of that area that the world callsPalestine, right, that we call Israel.
So the Jews actually their kingdom succeededand thrived for for one thousand,

(31:30):
five hundred years, fifteen hundred years. Now during that time, a lot
of that time they were independent,like under David, under Solomon, right,
the Pasmonians, different kings, allthe different kings. Finally, because
of Sin and Israel, right,the Babylonians came in in five eighty six
BC and they took over. SoIsrael became you know, kind of a

(31:52):
little province Palestine, whatever you wantto call it. That it was called
Judea at that time. It becamea province of of you know, Babylon.
Right, but there were always Jewsin the land. Now, now
that the Jews were allowed to returnunder the media, Persians rebuild the temple.
That's we got the Second Temple,and then where Jesus taught, where
Jesus taught, and their kingdom wasre established. So it's still so at

(32:14):
that point it's still they came backafter some days, yea, then it
was the nation of Israel again.And then it you know, came under
Rome or Greek rule and Roman rule, but it was still you know,
it's like a client state, butit was still you know, ostensible being
an independent state. And it wasn'tuntil the year eighty seventy, so about
two thousand years ago that the Romanscame in. They said, okay,
we're done. They destroyed the SecondTemple, they killed a million Jews,

(32:37):
you know, expelled them a bunchof you know, expelled them from Jerusalem.
They did not expel them from therest of the land. So for
centuries after that, Jews were stillthey were the people who lived in the
land. That the Jews weren't therea few thousand years ago, like our
United Nations guide told us, that'snot true. The Jews had been there
every second of every day for thelast three thousand, five hundred years,

(33:00):
and they were a majority there againall the way up until the seventh century.
Okay, so the six hundreds whenthis guy named Mohammed was born and
rose and he created this religion calledIslam. Okay, and uh boy,
you know, if Muslims are listening, they're gonna get something at this,
right, I hope they're listening.Stay with us, right, And and

(33:21):
Muhammad decided, hey, we're gonnawe're gonna promote our religion at the end
of the sword, at the tipof a sword, we're gonna go and
we're gonna behead anyone who resists us, convert to Islam, or we kill
you. Right. Uh. Theythey actually they actually ended up, you
know, kind of making friends withthe Jews, and they knew that their
religion was based on you know,Judaism and and you know the Jewish scriptures,

(33:42):
right, so so so even theydidn't kick the Jews completely out of
the Hoyland. What they did dothough, over the next you know,
many centuries, is they they startedto come in and they started to kick
kick the Jews off some of theland. They would come in and take
over some of the enterprises that theArab Suslims, and over time, the
Arab population did exceed the Jewish population. So by about about a thousand years

(34:08):
ago is when it switched, andnow the Arabs were kind of the majority
of the land. There's always beenJews that there's never been a smaller Jewish
population than about twenty five percent inthe Holy Land, which is a you
know, pretty big number. Right. Here's the point, here's one point
of several points. The Jews again, how long they've been there, thirty

(34:29):
five hundred years. They had abona fide nation there for fifteen hundred years,
which is a lot longer than theUnited States has existed, by the
way, right, a lot longer. And who were the colonizers they're being
called colonizers and settlers right now.Who were the It was the Arab Muslims.
And this was a thousand years ago, but it was the Arab Muslims
who came in and started to stealin from the Jews and kick the Jews

(34:52):
out. Right. There was atime, you know, a short period
of eighty eight years when the Crusaders, European Crusaders controlled your Ruslim a couple
hundred years. They controlled other partsof the Holy Land. Now listen throughout
that entire two thousand years when theJews did not have a nation state.
Okay, so Israel didn't exist.They were under the Western Roman Empire for

(35:14):
a while, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantines, they were under the
Crusaders for a time, Persians fora very short time in that period.
Most of that last two thousand yearsthey were under Muslim rule, but it
was different Muslim empires. It wasthe Abayids and Umayids and Mamluks and all
the you know, Fatimids. Theywere all these different Muslim empires over that

(35:35):
fourteen hundred year period, you know, when the Arab Muslims controlled the during
all of those empires, all thoseempires, by the way, were gigantic.
Every one of those empires reached upinto Europe, throughout the Home,
Middle East, into Asia, NorthAfrica, gigantic. Throughout all those empires.
The last two thousand years, Israelhas been this tiny little specks liver

(35:58):
of land. Yeah, and that'show the empires regarded them. The cat
There was never a capital of anyof these empires anywhere near Israel. It
was they were in Damascus at onetime. There was a capital in Cairo.
Bagdad was another one of these capitals, right, And there never was
a nation. Here's the point,in all that time, all the way

(36:20):
up to the twentieth century, therenever has been in all of human history,
at any moment in human history,a nation of Palestine. Never existed.
It's a fable, it's a fabrication. It's a modern invention, just
invented. You know right after WorldWar Two when Israel declared itself a nation,
right as a way to try todeprive the Jews of this little tiny

(36:43):
sliver of land. They're trying tocome back to what is their original homeland.
They're the anti you know, colonialists, right, they're the anti imperialists.
They're trying to come back and reclaimwhat has been theirs for thirty five
hundred years. Right, there's moreto it than this. We probably need
to take a break and then,Yeah, so what do we take a
breath of there? Come back andthen and then it's okay. When we

(37:05):
come back, we talk about thetwentieth century. What what's what's happened?
Yes? How they Because I wantpeople to understand do they right, let's
answer this question. Do the Palestinianshave a legitimate grievance? Do they have
a right to their nation, totheir land? I think we've already answered
it, but let's we'll get anymore. Yes. One eight hundred seven
two one nine three one three eighthundred seven two one ninety three thirteen.

(37:27):
At twenty seven minutes after the hour, Big Daddy weave and Heaven changes everything
up next on Your Celebration Radio Network. Good morning, Your Celebration Radio Network.
Morning, Hi Jesus, yes me? Where do they go? Yeah?
Feel yeah, I've been doing Yeah? Amen? Palestine? Yes,

(37:53):

it right. Thanks God, blessyou too. By bye, thank you,

(39:01):
bye bye. Say I won't bymercy me on your Celebration Radio Network
eight hundred seven two one nine threeone three one eight hundred seven two one
ninety three thirteen. Uh to getin that favorite or if you have a
prayer, request to talk to PastorRyan, John Terry and I we'd love
to hear from you. This morning. We've been talking about the well yeah,

(39:22):
legitimately, yeah, we're answer thisquestion. Do the Pelson just forget
the Bible? All that to thePalestinians just from a secular sampoint have a
legitimate claim to that land that youknow, did the Jews come in and
you know, uh, take overthe nation of Palasine? Again, never
was such a thing. I mean, look at that, you know,
don't don't take my word for it. If you don't believe me, exactly,

(39:44):
look it up anywhere you want.There never has been a nation.
There's never been a Pealsonian people,right again, that that that term I
don't think even was used once inhistory until the middle of the twentieth century
Jews, right, So so innineteen forty eight May fourteenth, nineteen forty
eight when they declared statehood and theydidn't do that like like just on their
own, like just out of nowhere. So let's talk about about that.

(40:07):
Actually, So what happened in thetwentieth century, So we had two thousand
years of you know, and letme make a real quick point here.
So again, three thousand, fivehundred years continually there's been a Jewish presence
in the Roman for fifteen hundred ofthose years, there was an actual nation
of Jews, nation of Israel,you know, in modern day Israel,
where and and so what does thatmean. It means that that the nation

(40:30):
of Israel existed in that land fifteenhundred years before there was even such a
thing as an Arab Did you guysknow that the Arab as a people didn't
even exist. The nation of Israelexisted in that land two thousand years before
Islam even existed. So who hasa right to the land? Right?

(40:50):
So, so and then we couldsay, okay, but that was two
thousand years ago and since then.Yeah, but again, there never was
a nation. Israel was just thislittle, you know, backwater, unimportant
district. You know, we'll getsome taxes from there. Jerusalem, it's
nothing, it's this dusty, little, dirty little Yeah. Our capitalist in
Cairo. Our capital is in youknow, Baghdad, right, our capital

(41:14):
is in Damascus. You know,you know Palestine? What what the heck
is that? Where the name Palestineeven come from? Does you know?
Oh? So we talked about firstsegment, like I know, in the
first segment, who who historically andspiritually is Israel's number one arch enemy the
Philistines? Yes? Who? Youknow? Now Jamas controls that region right,
so about in about the fourth centuryor the third century, Uh,

(41:38):
the Western Roman Empire. No,I'm sorry, it's the second century because
it was during what's called the SimonBarcopa Revolt one thirty one thirty six,
so second century. But the Romansdecided to rename the land Syria Palestina.
Okay, that's where the name Palestineeven comes from. And the reason they
named it that Palestine Palestina was fromthe was a reference to the Philistines to

(42:01):
stick it to the Jews, right, okay, because we don't like the
Jews, we hate the Jews.We're trying to deprive you of your legitimacy
in this land. Right. Sothe last four hundred years of that two
thousand year period where the Jews werethe ones who are being colonized, they
were the ones who were the victimsof imperialism. Right. In fifteen seventeen,

(42:22):
the Final Empire took over Muslim Empire, the Ottoman Empire. From fifteen
seventeen to nineteen seventeen, the Ottomanshad a gigantic empire again up into Europe,
North Africa, Middle East, intoAsia, right, you know,
East Asia, the Near East,I should say, And they weren't even
Arabs for the last four hundred years. Ka so until nineteen seventeen, for

(42:45):
four hundred years, it was theOttoman Empire. They weren't even Arabs.
Where was their capital? What wastheir nationality? Was their ethnicity? I
don't remember, Okay, come on, Lawrence of Arabia, Peter O'Toole oh
yeah remember that movie? Right?Yeah? They were Turks. They were
they were Turkish and their capital wasIstanbul Santinople, no is Stanbul, which

(43:06):
one well it was Byzantium and thenConstantinople and then it was renamed in Istanbul.
Very good, John, you knowthat all the same towns, right,
different names. But but but theyso, so world War one came,
you know, twentieth century, that'sthe century that we're all born in,
this very recent history, right,yes, so so they, you
know, they were in control ofit, and and they were the Ottoman

(43:28):
Empire was was called the sick Manof Europe, and everybody knew that their
empire was getting ready to collapse.Right. So, so World War One
happened and a big part of thatwas was destroying the Ottoman Empire. It
ceased to exist. So now whatdo we do with all these territories that
for two thousand years have been underthe Greeks and the Romans and the Crusaders
and the Byzantines and all these Muslimempire, what do we do? And

(43:50):
so uh, the world got togetherand established and it was the first attempt
at world government, the League ofNations, right yeah, And they established
what was called the British Mandate andthe French Mandate. That France was kind
of deciding the fate of like what'smodern day Syria and Lebanon, and Britain
was deciding the fate of what's modernday Israel and Jordan and Egypt and that
whole region right of Rock and soso the Brids they knew that that the

(44:15):
Jews wanted to go back to theirhomeland. Now, you know, this
whole period happened between World War WorldWar two and and there's fighting and nobody
knew what to do, and theand the British were like, we don't
know how to make you know,the Arabs make a claim and the Jews
make a claim. But then somethinghappened in World War two that got the
whole world's attention for a brief momentanyways, and made them realize, like

(44:37):
the Jews have to have a homeland. They have to go back to their
homeland. That was the Holocaust.The Holocaust six million Jews murdered. Jews
are a million people died. Right, So, Terry, what what's that
picture I sent you? What's thatmap? Well, it's a partition of
the land and it shows I'm sorry, I'm not exactly positive what part I

(44:59):
mean. I know, oh,it's over in Israel. That I gave
her a thirty second primer before theyeah, thirty seconds, and it just
basically shows that the Jewish state,it was separated, partitioned off from the
Arab state. So what you're seeingon this map, so this map and
the users, i mean, thelisteners, can't you see yet, But

(45:19):
there's a whole bunch of yellow andthere's a whole bunch of green, about
half and half almost, Yeah,I'd say it's pretty equal. Yeah.
The green part was to go tothe Jews to make to reastablis the nation
of Israel. The yellow part wasto go to the Arabs to create whatever
nation they want to be, abrand new nation never exists before, and
that would be Palestine. Right.So, in nineteen forty six, the
year after World War Two, intothe United Nations came into being, and

(45:44):
in their charter, and I saidthis to our two reguided the United Nations,
right in front of the whole group. In the UN Charter, the
number one thing that the UN saidis their purpose for coming into existence is
to re establish the nation of Israel. Did you guys know that, No,
it's in the UN charge. Yeah. Wow. And so they came
up with this plan to divide.Well, Israel got tired of waiting.

(46:04):
This plan came out in nineteen fortyseven. In nineteen forty eight, everybody's
still fighting, and Israel said,listen, we're gon we're going to take
We're going to declare it. Thenyou guys said, we could have it.
We declare this, and immediately thewhole Arab world went to war against
Israel. Egypt and Jordan and Iraqand Syrian they all attacked Israel at once.
These people hadn't even gained their weightback from the Holocaust, these skinny,

(46:28):
weak people who had been and theyfought back all of these gigantic and
Arab countries and they won the war. And then there was another war nineteen
sixty seven, and Israel did itagain. All the Six Day Wars like
sixty war, right, they regainedthe Temple mount This all profetic part of
the entire story. But what havethe Jews done wrong? They it was
the United Nations that came up withthis plan. The Jews didn't go in

(46:50):
and just take it as imperils theywere. They were coming out of the
Holocaust. What could they do?It was the entire world came together established
the United Nations for the purpose ofre establishing the each Israel, and nobody
was trying to rip off the Arabs. They're like, okay, you guys
live here too. You know,you guys deserve to have something too,
so here and do you know what, the Jews completely agreed with it.
They said, we agree, youguys take this land. We'll take this

(47:13):
land that the UN's giving us.You can say, well, and we'll
all live happy ever after. We'llbe good neighbors and all that. How
did the Arabs respawn? They triedto murder all the Jews, wipe Israel
from the map. And when Iwas in New York City two weeks ago
at that rally, the pro Hamasrally, there were thirty forty people supporting
Israel. By the way, Bill, it's very tiny group three thousand on

(47:35):
the side supporting Hamas. These guyswho just murdered all these babies and did
worse than that, burned families alive. And you know, I thought I
wasn't going to say it, butyeah, so and the first thing I
hear when I get up there isthis chant thousands of people. It was
amazing just to hear it. Fromthe river to the sea, Palestine will
be free from the river to thesea. Well, what is that reference?

(47:57):
What river? The Jordan river,Jordan river, what sea? Mediterranean
scene? What does that mean?The river to the sea. That's the
entire land, that's the entire Holyland. So their mantra, and if
you look at the Hamas Charter establishedin nineteen eighty eight, okay, it
specifically says, from the river tothe sea, we are wiping Israel off
the map. We're going to murderJews. Every Muslim who murders the Jew

(48:21):
gets a special blessing from Allah,okay. And that that is the goal
of this movement right now, isto eliminate the nation of Israel completely.
So Israel's always been you know thatfour times over the last seventy five years.
Camp David accords Oslo Accords. ThePalaestinians had been offered. I'll call
them Palasadians. They call themselves Palastinian. Sure, that's great. They never

(48:43):
there never was such a thing,you know. But every single time they've
rejected it, yes or Arafat.Bill Clinton is at it's going away party
after you know he would have andyes her Fad. I said, oh,
congratulations, you know when you're andyou know Bill Clinton said the yes
or eir Fad he said, hesaid, that's blankety blank. He said,
I failed as a president and it'syour fault. Clinton said that to

(49:05):
Arafato because Clinton actually had a dealwhere the Palisons could have stated Arafat rejected
it on the basis that they willnot let the Jews have one inch of
land anywhere in the Middle East.Wow, that's it. So so can
there ever be peace in the HolyLand? Jesus R. So negative,

(49:27):
Jesus Jesus Bill. Are we goingto have time for one more segment?
No, we need to finish,Okay, okay. So, so do
you guys remember that the video thatI showed So David Bedeen, you know,
GNOME's father over in Israel. Heand I had been working together on
you know, projects here and there, him doing ninety nine percent of the
work, me just kind of showingup. But I helped him to hire

(49:47):
a film crew right after my lasttrip to Israel and May to go into
to one of the towns in theWest Bank, one of the Palestinine towns
that's considered like the number one breedingground for terrorists they send up in Israel
and murdered Jews. David's neighbor acouple of streets over was Rabbi d who
about two weeks before we went toIsrael in May, a couple of palasing

(50:08):
guys from this town called Ascar,they gone and murdered his wife and to
to you know, you know,adult daughters. And David knows Rabbid really
well, right, And so wesent this film crew in to film and
what did you guys see on this? I showed you guys a film.
I'm trying to hire these guys againright now to do another project for us.
But yeah, okay, yeah,it's at the indoctrination starts when they're

(50:31):
really young. This this hatred,this hatred preach and this hatred children,
the pre school preschool. It's intheir preschool, they start teaching them right
off the bat that your greatest honoris to die killing in Israeli. So
in this video that we produce andand I'll send it to you later,
Bill, you can go to thesefinal days dot or we're going on the
post it there. Yeah. Souh, there's these school children and their

(50:54):
teachers too, saying there's never goingto be peace right there, there cannot
be a nation of Israel. Weneed to murder all Jews. And the
concept is worldwide cleans the entire worldof Jews. Does it sound like Hitler
little bit? It's a spirit thatgoes back at the very beginning, right.
So so, and we can't getinto it, but I have right
here in front of me a textbookthat David gave me, printed by the

(51:17):
United Nations, that has pictures offamous martyrs in it, people who have
murdered Jews. A textbook for kidsfirst grader, second graders, you know,
reading, writing, arithmetic, andmurder the four hors. Right.
So, one of the differences betweenChristianity and other religions is Christianity does not
tell you to go and kill otherpeople for a blessing. Yeah, that's

(51:38):
a big difference between Christianian and Islam. And again, it's not all Palestinians.
I have a lot of Palsinine friendswho love Israel, who have good
friends who are Jews. Me andDavid and no Onen were hanging out with
their Palestinian Muslim friends, Palastini Muslims, not just Christians. So I don't
want people to think that this islike like you know, like all the
Palstinians, all the not by along shot. A lot of them realize.

(52:00):
But it's a spirit, and it'sa spirit of anti Christ. Yes,
and we're living in the last ofthe last days. And if you
don't believe that, boy, you'vegot to open your eyes, man.
I mean, it's it's upon us. So just yeah, John's right there.
There is not going to be peace. There's not a solution. There's
no peace. Terry's right, notuntil Jesus comes back. So let's all
pray like Jesus has to pray,Father, your kingdom come, Your will

(52:23):
be done on earth as it isin heaven. That means Jesus coming back
and establishing God's manifest kingdom here onearth in Jesus name. Amen. Okay,
thanks Bill, that won that onewent long. But hey, I
appreciate you guys here this morning,and yes, this is an incredibly important
topic. It is we do needto pray for well, God's chosen people.

(52:47):
It's it is and this is hisplan man, It's not not about
us or our opinions or and Godhas a good plan for the Palestinian people.
But Satan has his own planes.And this is what the the this
world is propagated. Yeah, youknow, that's that's how sh mm hmm.
Yeah, spirit of anti Christ andthat's that's what we're here fighting against.
Is that spirit? Yeah, andwe need to have on our armor.

(53:08):
Ps. Yeah, one eight hundredseven two one nine three one three
to get in a prayer request.That's eight hundred seven two one nine three
