May the Lord richly bless you . Good morning everyone .

Podcast is going to take a little bit different format . Right now I'm going live on both Facebook and YouTube , and that's because of the situation that we have going on in Israel . I got another update from my friend pastor in Israel that I'm in contact with .

I wanted to give you all that update as well as look at the prophetic scriptures regarding Israel , just to give a bigger picture of what is taking place and what is going to take place there , and we're going to look at this update .

Looks like right now what Israel is doing is they're attacking the infrastructure in northern Gaza , so all the civilians can go south and then they're going to go in with the tanks at the north . That's where the 300,000 soldiers are building up Is in the north to go in there . The brother tells me this today was the first day with a lot of quiet .

The amount of warplanes going over decreased and it seemed people felt safe enough to come out of their homes and walk around a bit . In general they're asking for prayer , for wisdom and for morale .

At the moment everyone was okay , but if it prolongs weeks it will be more physical needs that they have their main prayers for all the soldiers , brothers and sisters and sons and fathers of all our neighbors and church members going into war . Prayer that they'll be protected from local attacks from Israeli Arabs .

Prayer for the serving IDF believers to have peace that passes all understanding and the supplies they need and clothing and food during this siege that's taking place . Prayer for God to strongly protect the borders of Israel , believers and citizens of Israel to have peace of mind , because Hamas is using psychological warfare to create that spirit of fear .

The brother tells me that I've never seen that level of dread in Israel on the people . People are very afraid . Many are leaving Israel . The other one is they're asking for wisdom for the leaders to handle the issues as fast as possible , urgent prayer that the northern front doesn't explode along Lebanon .

They're referring to the prayer for the civilians in Gaza to have survival supplies and prayer for those who have lost loved ones and prayer for the war to stop , to come to an end quickly .

Some of the individual requests of believers there are they're asking for peace to Israel and the soldiers to return in peace , asking for the Lord to strengthen their faith and allow them to fully trust Him and to have peace in their hearts , and that the Lord would show them which way to go and what to do in these hard times .

Also , someone asked for prayer for their family in Ashilem , near Gaza , and then another one is asking for prayer for friends and colleagues who are very fearful and depressed . That we would pray that they would be a light of Christ to them in this hour . I'm going to try to bring up a photo to show you right now and there we go .

This is the photo that was sent to me so that you'd be able to see . This is the area that they're wanting to , they're working to demolish and where they're going to go in to start with in Gaza , this area . So be in prayer for this area and for the believers that are involved in this . The other part is Israel is dropping flyers over Gaza .

They're giving the civilians 24 hours to vacate the northern portion that I just showed you , and they have announced their desire . We do not want to harm any civilians , but all Gazans need to separate themselves from Hamas operatives Because Hamas is using them as human shields . It's entering a serious time , as I mentioned yesterday as well .

Israel is I should say Hamas is requesting that Muslims around the world rise up today and attack targets around the world . So , everyone , I just remind you to be prayerful and be diligent , be led of the Lord where you go and what you do . If I just want to mention also to you , if you don't know who I am , I'm Brother Jason DeMars .

I'm a apostle and teacher of the message of the hour . As always , if you have prayer requests , testimonies or any of those things , please let me know .

I'd certainly like to answer your questions and , since we're live , if you have any questions right now as you're watching , feel free to ask them and they will pop up here for me in my software so that I can answer them for you . Amen . So a few people sending their greetings . Please send your greetings so I can greet you personally .

I would really be very glad to do that . All right , that's our update so far . As we talked about before , there's a way for you to support believers in Israel , and financially , and I've posted that link on my timeline in Facebook and I will do that under this video when it's done posting , so you'll have the ability to support believers there .

We've been able to send some money to them yesterday no , the day before yesterday , on Wednesday . So we're grateful for that , for your support for that , and we hope to send them some more money soon , the Lord willing , appreciate everyone that has supported . God bless you .

All right , so let's look at some of the prophetic scriptures and let's lay a foundation , and that in the last days that Jerusalem will be one of the focuses of the world . The entire world will be focused around Jerusalem .

We understand that in Revelation , chapter 11 , it speaks of the two witnesses , and it's it speaks of those two witnesses in the supernatural ministry that they'll have .

It says Revelation 11 , 7 , and when they have finished their testimony , the beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit , shall make war against them the antichrist , and shall overcome them and kill them , and their bodies shall lie in the street of the great city which , spiritually , is called Sodom and Egypt , where also our Lord was crucified .

And they of the peoples and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three and a half days and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in the grave , and they that dwell on the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry and shall send gifts one to another .

So as we look at this verse , we see that there's such a focus on Israel that you know the death of these two prophets will be broadcast all over the world and that there will be a great rejoicing over that . So if there's a , there's gonna be a knowledge of these two prophets worldwide they were gonna .

They will cause such a stir that people will rejoice and make a holiday over their death , my goodness . So there's that portion . Then we look and the book of the prophet Zechariah , excuse me . So we look at the book of Zechariah , chapter 12 , and we're gonna read there the whole chapter . But I'm gonna read a couple verses and then we'll make a stop .

The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel .

Say at the Lord which stretches forth the heavens and lay at the foundation of the earth and formeth the spirit of man within him Behold , I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem , and in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people .

All that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it . So there we see , all the people of the earth will be gathered against Israel and it will be a burdensome stone to everyone , and Jerusalem itself will be a cup of trembling unto all the people round about .

So we have to get in a condition where there is a necessity for the whole focus of the world to be on Israel . So number one is we understand that the Antichrist system is the Catholic Church and specifically the restored Papal Roman Empire . In fact , it fell from public power and went to under undercover power through the Jesuit operation .

After the Reformation they became covert in their approach to everything and changed things greatly . Also , we understand that there's going to be a covenant . According to the scriptures . There's going to be a covenant between the Antichrist and Israel .

For what we'll read the scripture , and he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week , and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease , and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate even until the consummation , and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate .

So the Antichrist's focus will be also in Israel and in Jerusalem and upon the temple and the temple mount . So there will be a restored temple and there will be restored sacrifice there . In addition to that , there will also be a covenant between Rome and Israel .

So see , we have some sort of need for a covenant as this , that troubleous times come , terrible times come . So there's , there's something that proceeds , the need for this covenant , and Jerusalem and Israel becomes a cup of trembling to all nations . So we see then , in 2 Thessalonians , chapter 1 excuse me 1 Thessalonians , chapter 5 .

For you , yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night , for when they shall say peace and safety , then sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child , and they shall not escape .

So I see a connection between this covenant that the Antichrist makes with Israel , with the Jews , and it's a monetary covenant and it's a peace covenant . So when there is peace , when there is safety , it's also , of course , speaking of financial prosperity .

There's no peace and safety without Good financial prosperity for people to have food and water and clothing and dwelling place and some level of comfort . That's when they have peace . That's what the world's version of peace it doesn't say when you say we have pieces a safety , but when they shall say peace and safety ?

When the world Says ah , there's a covenant now of peace , we have peace and safety . The the , the Jews , together with Rome , make a covenant and what they end up doing is Taking over the world . And so when they do this and Israel is Then subjugated to this antichrist covenant , then the world says peace and safety . That's what that's at the time .

At the same time , the two prophets are prophesying and God is beginning to pour out his wrath upon the earth . The bride has already been raptured , where we'll be out of here by that time . But there has to be conditions that lead to the necessity of a covenant .

Of course , you could say there already is , because there's not peace between the Palestinians and between the Jews . That's true , that's absolutely the truth . But things have to pick up and have to intensify , and I believe that's what we're seeing . This is the first war in Israel that's been declared .

Of course there's been battles and Fights against militia , but this is the first war declared by an Israeli cabinet since 1973 . It's been 50 years , almost exactly . So now we get to this place where we realize that there has to be a ramping up of the fear of , of war , of Danger that's taking place in the world . So let's continue reading that caraya .

We read that that Jerusalem will be a burdensome stone for all people , and all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces , though all the people of the earth . Secondarily , we remember in in revelation that it says that Jerusalem is called spiritually , called Egypt and Sodom , and so we understand that we can't look we .

We look at Israel as a whole and God as a people and a covenant with that nation . But they're still in the process of restoration and even their political system is not right . They have many Gay rights and liberalism and false , false things amongst them , and Even , even corruption and and , and we don't look at Israel as being a faultless nation .

We look at Israel as saying they must turn to Christ , they must repent and come to Christ , and that's what they'll do when those two prophets come . But it won't be the whole nation . There'll be a rem , there'll be a remnant of people . In that day say at the Lord this is Zechariah 12 , verse 4 .

In that day , say at the Lord , I will smite every horse With astonishment and his rider with madness , and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah and Will smite every horse of the people with blindness . And the governance Governors of Judah shall say in their heart the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength and the Lord of hosts their God .

In that day will I make the governance of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood and like a torch of fire in a sheaf , and they shall devour all the people round about , on the right hand and on the left , and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in their own place , even in Jerusalem .

The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first , at the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem . Do not magnify themselves against Judah in .

In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem , and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David , and the house of David shall be as God , as the angel of the Lord before them . So it's speaking of a time they're gonna have to fight .

It's not merely that God is going to come and intervene and fight for them , but they're they're gonna fight and God is gonna give them strength for the battle .

All right , and it shall come to pass in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem , and I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications , and they shall look upon me , whom they have pierced , and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth , for his only son

, and Shall be in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn .

In that day , shall there , there shall be a great morning in Jerusalem as the morning of hattah Hadid Ryman in the valley of Megiddo , and the LAN shall mourn every family apart the family of the house of David , a part and their wives apart , and the family of the house If Nathan , a part of their wives , a part in the family of the house of Levi , a part

in their wives , a part , the family of the house of Shaymi and their wives apart , all the families that remain , every family apart and their wives apart . So we see , as we look at this , there is going to be a process of ramping up to war .

Okay , and during that time then , in that time of ramping up to war , god will pour upon the house of David and upon the habitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and it will become a revelation unto them of the one who they pierced . Remember it comes through the two witnesses , the revelation of who Christ is .

So the revealing of the Son of man to the house of Israel Will come through those two prophets . They will see a revelation in their hearts of whom they have pierced and they'll repent and they'll mourn for that in that day . But there'll be a ramping up where it comes to the place where Israel is a cup of trembling to all nations .

Psalm 83 . We're gonna read this now . I want you to think about this . In in the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah , they always had to deal with the Philistines , the Ammonites , the Amalakites , etc . Etc . All of them , edom , moab , etc .

They continually had to deal with them , deal with battles against them , pushing them most most of those places they dealt with and but they never fully Took the entire land , ever . What was promised to them ? All the way from the Mediterranean Into what is modern-day Iraq , all the way to the Euphrates River . That was to be their land ?

They had never taken it before now . I want you to look at this . Psalm 83 speaks of this and speaks of the fact that Israel is going to defeat their enemies in the land Hasn't had never been fulfilled yet , has not been fulfilled yet . Psalm 83 1 . This is a Psalm of Asaph . Keep not thou silence , o God .

Hold not thy peace and be not still , o God , for low , thine enemies make a tumult and they that hate thee have lifted up the head . They have taken crafty counsel against thy people and consulted against thy . They , thy hidden ones . They have said come and let us cut them off from being a nation .

See , that's that's the Palestinian Desire , that's their vision , that's what the Arabs want to do , that's what the Iranians want to do . They will exterminate the Jews and cut them off from being a nation , destroy them forever . Come , let us cut them off from being a nation , that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance for .

They have consulted together , with one consent their confederate against thee , the tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites of Moab and the Hagarines , ghebal and Ammon and Amalek , the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre , the inhabitants of Tyre , is the Lebanese from Lebanon . Asher also is joined with them .

They have hopened the children of Lot Selah Do unto them as unto the Midianites , as to Cicera , as to Jabin , at the brook of Qassan which perished at Endor . They became as dung for the earth . Make their nobles like Aureb and like Zeb Ye and all their princes , as Ziba and Zalmuna who said Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession .

O , my God , make them like a wheel , as the stubble before the wind , as the fire burneth the wood and as the flames set at the mountains on fire . So persecute them with thy tempest and make them afraid with thy storm . Fill their faces with shame that they may seek thy name , o Lord . Let them be confounded and troubled forever , ye .

Let them be put to shame and perish . That men may know that thou , whose name alone is Jehovah , art the most high over all the earth . So I look at this and I see the scripture is could this be the time that God is going to take them from the land ?

And could the destruction of the Palestinian strongholds , could it go from God to the earth , gaza to Judea and Samaria , which is they call the West , the world calls the West Bank , I call it Judea and Samaria , the West Bank that's mostly ruled , that's governed by the Jews , but is lived in and ruled by the Palestinian authority .

Could this war lead to that war which then leads to another war with which leads to Russia and Iran and Turkey and surrounding nations get involved ? Could the Arab nations get involved next and the power of God and the supernatural strength of God to come and make a destruction of them , to put the whole world in fear of Israel ?

Right now , the world is everybody's saying support Israel , stand with Israel . Well , what's going to lead to the fact that everyone turns against them , I believe the scripture shows us is the destruction of the enemies of Israel within the land .

And the destruction of the enemies of Israel within the land will lead to the world turning against them and then surrounding nations coming against them and after those surrounding nations come against them , then , slowly , the world will come against them and because of this destruction of the enemies of Israel in the land , there will be a need for a covenant .

And perhaps that is part of what makes the Antichrist so successful and loved and worshipped by the world . We don't know exactly all the details . We see as the Lord leads us and guides us , but what I say is , as we look at these scriptures , is the Lord piecing these things together like this right now ?
