| I don't believe most of you out there understand how close we are to the coming of the Lord, how close we are to the end times. | |
| You know, the astounding thing about that DVD, it's one of the favorite ones I've ever done. | |
| Trump, Jerusalem, Armageddon. | |
| And a lot of people look at that and say, how do those connect? | |
| Well, they really do connect. | |
| And like you say, we went back 4,000 years ago when God made a covenant with Abraham. | |
| It always amazes me that God covered 2,000 years of human history in the first 11 chapters. | |
| Then he slammed on the brakes and spent 12 chapters on the life of one person, the man by the name of Abraham, who became the father of the physical people of God upon the earth, the Jews, and the father of the spiritual people of God upon the earth, the church. | |
| Well, in Genesis chapter 15, verse 18, Abraham was worshiping and he had offered this sacrifice and laid it all out. | |
| And God came and walked among the pieces of the sacrifice, and Abraham fell into a trance. | |
| And while in this trance in chapter 15, verse 18, the Bible says that God made a covenant with Abraham. | |
| The land on which you dwell will be yours and your descendants after you forever. | |
| Now, it's interesting. | |
| That was 4,000 years ago, around 2,000 BC. | |
| And yet that is the number one dispute in international politics today. | |
| Wow. | |
| Are you listening? | |
| That's powerful. | |
| Here we are, thousands of years later, and the world is arguing over that parcel of land. | |
| Because it's not really a dispute between men. | |
| It's really a dispute between God and Satan. | |
| The Battle of Armageddon is going to be the final battle between light and darkness, between good and evil. | |
| But it's all going to be over the issue of the Middle East. | |
| You know, there's a lot of conflict in the Middle East right now. | |
| And it's all going to be over. | |
| Zechariah 14, 2 says, I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle. | |
| Because the status of Jerusalem, you know, when President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the world just went ballistic. | |
| Yes. | |
| I mean, they had a nervous breakdown over that. | |
| And then when he moved the embassy there, that was additional. | |
| And they called these meetings before the UN Security Council. | |
| Of course, the United Nations is the headquarters for world government today, whether people fully realize that or not. | |
| It was designed to be a one-world government. | |
| So anytime something happens internationally, people go running off to the U.N. Security Council. | |
| Well, they did. | |
| Trump recognized Jerusalem on December the 6th. | |
| And on December the 18th, they had a big UN Security Council meeting. | |
|
Five Veto Power Players

|
| And the resolution said that the United States should rescind the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. | |
| And when they put the resolution for a vote, the vote was 14 to 1 to approve that resolution. | |
| But they had one problem. | |
| There are five members of the UN Security Council that have veto power. | |
| Those are the five permanent members. | |
| The United States, Great Britain, Russia, France, China. | |
| And if any one of those five vote against it, even though the other 14 vote for it, it's dead. | |
| And since the United States is one of those that has veto power, mighty Nikki Haley stepped up to the podium and voted no. | |
