0:00You want something I I deep dove this
0:02this week. You want something that'll
0:04send a chill down your spine when you're
0:06talking about biblical end times? Here
0:08you go.
0:10Uh if you start doing a deep dive on
0:12Christian beliefs about the end times
0:15and Islamic beliefs about the end times,
0:18I'mma show you some things that A going
0:20to blow your mind and B going to send a
0:21chill down your spine. Okay, now just
0:23stick with me.
0:25>> [clears throat]
0:26>> So, in John 16, Jesus says about the
0:29end,
0:30"The time is coming when they will kill
0:32you and think they are offering service
0:35to God." Now, for the last 30 40 years
0:38in America, Christians have been really
0:39focused on man, secul- secularism,
0:42atheism. It's a big problem. We got to
0:44oppose it. And they're right.
0:45But, what that verse says is that the
0:47final boss in the end times is not going
0:50to be secularism. That verse says the
0:53final boss is going to be some form of
0:55religion
0:56that when they kill Christians, they
0:59think they're doing something holy and
1:01that their God is pleased with. Clue
1:03number one.
1:05Now, number two. Fast forward Revelation
1:07chapter 20.
1:08And John is given a vision, an
1:10eschatological vision.
1:12This is what he says he sees. "The souls
1:15of those who had been beheaded beheaded
1:19He specifically mentions the type of
1:22death these people these martyrs
1:24experienced. The souls of those who had
1:26been beheaded because they Watch this.
1:28They refused to worship the beast. In
1:31John 20, the beast is the Antichrist.
1:33I'm going to come back to that. This
1:34going to send chills down your spine.
1:36Now, [snorts] can I point this out? Says
1:37they were beheaded. There is one
1:38religion and one religion only
1:42whose {quote} {unquote} holy book
1:44specifically prescribes beheading
1:47as the preferred way to kill infidels.
1:51It's Islam.
1:53The Quran calls it striking necks.
1:56There's only one religion
1:58>> Wow.
1:58>> that does that. All right, now. Number
2:00three, let's go a layer deeper.
2:02If you go to 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12,
2:05Paul is telling this church about what's
2:08going to happen at the end.
2:09And he talks about something that's
2:11called a strong delusion. Now, I'm going
2:14to read it. Listen really close to how
2:16he describes this.
2:17>> [snorts]
2:17>> He says, "The coming of the lawless
2:19one," that's another New Testament name
2:20for the Antichrist.
2:22"The coming of the lawless one will be
2:24in accordance with how Satan works.
2:27He will use all sorts of displays of
2:29power through signs and wonders that
2:31serve the lie
2:32and all the ways that wickedness
2:34deceives those who are perishing. They
2:36perish because they refuse to love the
2:37truth and so be saved. For this reason,
2:40listen real close, God sends them a
2:42powerful
2:43delusion
2:45so that they will believe the lie
2:48and so that all will be condemned who
2:50have not believed the truth, but have
2:51delighted in wickedness." Now, what he's
2:53talking about right here is what
2:54theologians will often call the passive
2:56wrath of God.
2:57>> Mhm.
2:58>> Romans 1 talks about how the wrath of
2:59God is poured out on all mankind so that
3:02he, quote, "gave them up to their
3:05desires and their delusions."
3:07So, one way that God pours out wrath and
3:09judgment on a people
3:11is when people decide, "You know what? I
3:13hate God. I don't want to have anything
3:14to do with him. In fact, I love
3:15rebellion against God."
3:17The word of God says that he will not
3:18strive with man forever.
3:20>> Mhm.
3:21>> Eventually, what God does is he goes,
3:23"You know what? You want nothing to do
3:24with me? You want to rebel against me?
3:25You want to walk away from me?
3:28Your will be done."
3:29>> Mhm. Yeah.
3:29>> Romans 1.
3:30>> Mhm.
3:30>> Your will be done. You get exactly what
3:32you want, brother.
3:33>> Mhm.
3:34>> This says in 2 Thessalonians that in the
3:36end, that's what God will do and a mass
3:40number of people will be given over to a
3:42strong delusion to believe a lie that
3:44the Antichrist promulgates.
3:47Okay, now, can I just point this out to
3:49you? Uh there are things that I'm
3:51already seeing in our culture right now
3:54uh with regard to Islam that I'm like,
3:56the only word for that right there is
3:58delusional. For instance, this whole
4:00deal where there's like this weird
4:02unholy alliance between progressivism
4:05and Islam,
4:07it makes no sense. It is literally
4:10delusional. Okay, so so I'll just This
4:12is a side note, but I just want to point
4:14I'm just I'm connecting dots. Stick with
4:16me.
4:17So progressivism, these are the people
4:19who are supposedly about women's rights,
4:21LGBT rights, sexual liberation, free
4:23societies, let everybody do what they
4:24want, okay?
4:25And they're partnering
4:28they're partnering with
4:30Islam.
4:32So the people who are about women's
4:33rights,
4:34supposedly, are partnering with the
4:37people who make women wear burkas and
4:39beat them if they don't cover their
4:40hair.
4:41The people who are supposedly about LGBT
4:44rights, it's like, you know, queers for
4:46Palestine. It's like saying queers for
4:47Palestine is like saying chickens for
4:48KFC. It's like The people who are
4:50supposedly about, quote unquote, LGBT
4:52rights are partnering with people who
4:54who throw them off buildings in Gaza if
4:57they come out. The people who are
4:59supposedly for sexual liberation are
5:01partnering with the people who give
5:03death penalties to people in
5:05predominantly Islamic nations for sexual
5:07expression. And the people who are
5:09supposedly about free societies are
5:11partnering with the people who want to
5:13bring in Sharia law.
5:15Okay, that makes no sense. Do you know
5:16what it is?
5:18It's delusional.
5:19>> Yeah, yes.
5:20>> Okay.
5:21Now,
5:22dude, here's what this week here's what
5:25like I'm studying this and I'm like,
5:27holy Moses.
5:30If you start studying what um in Islamic
5:33eschatology, Islamic view of the end
5:35times, is called the Mahdi.
5:37In Islamic eschatology, there will be an
5:40end times messianic figure that's called
5:42the Mahdi
5:44that comes in and ushers in these end
5:47times
5:49events
5:50>> Yeah.
5:51>> that usher in the end of the world and
5:52paradise in Islam. Now, what I'm going
5:54to do is I'm going to bullet point for
5:56you what Muslims believe
5:59the Mahdi will do.
6:01When I read these, if you are a Bible
6:03aware Christian, you're going to have a
6:04whole bunch of like flashing red lights
6:06in your head going, "Whoa, whoa, whoa,
6:07that sounds familiar."
6:09And I'm going to tell you why here in a
6:10second.
6:11So, in Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi
6:14will emerge as a charismatic messianic
6:16world leader during a global chaos.
6:18He will take control of the world and
6:20destroy everyone who resists him. He
6:22will invade many nations. He will rule
6:24and reign for 7 years. He will broker a
6:267-year peace treaty with the Jews. He
6:28will conquer Israel and massacre the
6:29Jews. He will establish an Islamic
6:32one-world government headquartered in
6:33Jerusalem. He will establish Islam as
6:35the only acceptable religion. He will
6:37come on a white horse.
6:40Hello.
6:42He will come on a white horse with
6:43supernatural power doing signs and
6:45wonders. He will be assisted by a
6:47powerful prophet. Now, listen.
6:50If any of that sounds familiar,
6:52it is because it is a precise
6:54description of the Bible's Antichrist.
6:58So, think about this.
7:00Islam's Mahdi is the Christian
7:04Antichrist.
7:05Like, we know that the rider on the
7:07white horse in Revelation 6 is the
7:08Antichrist. They use that verse to
7:10describe their Mahdi. Now, let me go one
7:11last layer deeper. Now, old Chatty Cathy
7:14may disagree with part of this, but
7:15that's his problem. So, if if you view
7:17We'll talk about it in a second. If you
7:19view Ezekiel 38 as an eschatological
7:22prophecy,
7:24uh which uh
7:26yeah.
7:27If you view it view it that way,
7:29a lot of Christians do.
7:31Then, what you're waiting for is that at
7:34the end, a bunch of nations in the world
7:37will gather against Israel.
7:40They will wage a multi-front war.
7:43Everybody aligns against Israel, and
7:44it's going to look like uh Israel is
7:46going to be destroyed, and at at that
7:48moment is the moment that Jesus Christ
7:50will return. War horse tattoo on his
7:53thigh, fire in his eyes, sword out of
7:55his mouth, and he will destroy them and
7:57put down the enemies of God. Now, dude,
7:59here's what's insane. If you go back to
8:01Ezekiel 38,
8:03uh here are the uh the nations that it
8:06lists again. Now, it's using the names
8:09for those nations in the time that
8:11Ezekiel was written.
8:12So, it uses uh the names Gog, Magog,
8:17Meshech, and Tubal, Persia, Cush, Put,
8:21Gomer, and then I'll get this pronounced
8:23pronounced wrong, Beth Togarmah. Okay.
8:26Now,
8:27the modern-day equivalents for those
8:30nations are
8:32Gog and Magog corresponds to to uh
8:34primarily Russia and Central Asia.
8:37Meshech and Tubal, that's Turkey.
8:40Persia is Iran. Cush is Sudan. Put is
8:45Libya.
8:46Gomer is Turkey, and Beth-togarmah is
8:49also Turkey. Now, let me point this out.
8:52All but one of those today
8:54are Islamic nations.
8:56And guess what is the fastest-growing
9:00religion in the only one of those
9:02nations that is not yet an Islamic
9:05nation, Russia.
9:06>> Islam.
9:07>> Islam.
9:08>> Wow.
9:08>> Islam.
9:09>> Some are predicting that it will reach
9:1030% of the population in the next 10 to
9:1215 years.
9:13>> Listen,
9:14I'm just telling you, man, I don't know
9:16how to read these things without at
9:19least wondering
9:21if Islam, the rise of Islam, is ushering
9:25in the events
9:27of the biblically prescribed end times.
9:29I don't know how to do it. Now, listen,
9:30Christians I I always want to say this,
9:33Christians should love Muslims because
9:37God loves all people and saves all
9:38people. They're Gentiles, too, that God
9:39wants to save. Christians should love
9:41Muslims. Christians should hate Islam
9:45because it is a demonic ideology and
9:48religion that destroys and enslaves the
9:51people that adhere to it. So, there you
9:52go. That Listen, man, that'll send a
9:54chill down your spine.
9:55>> Wow.
9:56It's It's almost as if you know, Paul
9:58might disagree with this. But, it's
10:00almost as if
10:00>> [laughter]
10:01>> It's almost as if like what we're seeing
10:03today It seems like it's connected to a
10:06lot of what scripture has already spoken
10:08into and ties into our expectation as
10:09Christians for Jesus to come back.
10:11>> Uh you're going to hear a lot about that
10:12from Bevir in a couple of minutes.
10:14>> And for the record, my view would allow
10:16it.
10:16>> Oh, okay. [laughter] All right.
10:18>> Like my view allows that it My My view
10:20would say it could be. It just doesn't
10:22have to be.
10:23>> We'll We'll go there. We'll go there.
10:24It's
