Jim Bakker, 86, ties Iran’s chaos—30,000+ regime deaths, mass graves—to Revelation’s seals: war (red horse), famine (grain shortages), and violence, framing U.S. intervention as liberation. He warns of escalating global evil, urges prayer for Iran’s "oppressed," and insists salvation hinges on Jesus’ imminent return, dismissing alternatives as deception. His PTL push blends prophecy with personal visions, blending apocalyptic urgency with a call to repentance. [Automatically generated summary]
Hi, this is Jim Baker, and I got a message I got to bring today.
That's what I came on the air to do.
And I'm 86, so I maybe stumbled around a little bit more than I used to.
But I've reread the book of Revelation.
And I'll be honest with you, it scares the socks off me.
It is an amazing book, but it is scary.
But we are living in the book of Revelation right now.
Jesus is coming.
Don't be deceived.
There's demons and devils all around them.
There's liars.
You better read your Bible and find out what truth is.
Let me just share this.
Please stay with me for a minute.
This is the most important message I could bring to you right now.
I want to talk to you a little bit about the war in Iran, but I want to read to you from the book of Matthew first, and then I'm going to go over to Revelation just a little bit.
I've got to be long.
I promise you.
I'm right in Matthew 24, and let's go into starting with verse 3, okay?
I believe in taking your Bibles to church.
I believe in following the pastors and make sure they're reading the word properly.
This is, and he sat upon the Mount of Olives.
The disciples came unto him privately saying, tell us, when shall these things be?
And what shall be the sign of thy coming in the end of the world?
Oh my God.
You know, they were asking Jesus this, but this is a question people are asking today.
When is Jesus coming back?
It's in the Bible.
Let me go on and read a little bit more.
Sign of the coming, the end of the world.
Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you.
This is what I got to warn you.
Please.
I've been reading the Bible for years.
I actually earned a doctorate in all my studies.
And that's not important.
But what's important is what does the Bible say?
And Jesus answered and said, take heed that no man deceive you.
That's the most important thing I can tell you.
There's going to be false prophets, people who look smart, people from Hollywood, people that are cunning, clever, but don't believe the lies they tell.
And Jesus answered and said to them, take heed that no man deceive you.
And that's what's going to happen in this day.
I want you to go to heaven.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars.
That's over in Matthew.
See that you be not troubled, for these things must come to pass.
But the end is not yet.
For nations shall rise against nations.
That's right now.
And kingdoms against kingdoms now.
And there shall be famines.
Millions are dying.
Millions all over the world.
A famine.
And pestilences and earthquakes.
I have been a student of earthquakes for years.
And I'll go in this another day, but we have more earthquakes now than ever on the face of the earth.
The Bible says it.
We've got to believe what the Bible says.
And there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in divers, that means many places.
All these are the beginning of sorrow.
The beginning is now.
You say, oh, it's going to be good.
My preacher says everything's going to be good.
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
Read the Bible.
I'm going to go over to Revelation in a minute, but I'm going to just finish reading this.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you, and you shall be hated of all nations for my namesake.
Isn't that true now?
And then shall many be offended and shall betray one another.
We've got to love one another, not betray one another.
And you shall be hated, then hate one another, and many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that endureth into the end, the same shall be saved.
In this gospel, the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then shall end come.
That's right here in Matthew chapter 24.
The gospel of the kingdom.
That's why I want to keep Christian television in the air.
I'm the last living pioneer of Christian television.
I started the 700 club years ago.
I hosted it for about seven years.
I started TBN.
I started all the networks almost.
It seems like Thikiel was the biggest network in the world of Christianity.
It was huge.
And prophets have prayed over me when I was 19 years old and said, Jim, you're going to help usher in the coming of the Lord.
And it's now.
This is the end days.
This is the Revelation days.
And I'm going to turn over to Revelation right now.
So I want you to know the Revelation is a scary book if you read it all, but it's not scary if you read it all the way to.
I don't read the end of the Revelation to you because it's going to be peace.
It's going to be tears.
No tears in heaven.
It's going to be a beautiful place.
But I want to take you to Revelation chapter 6.
I'm just going to read a few verses here.
And I saw the Lamb open one of the seals, and I heard as if it were the noise of thunder.
One of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold, a white horse.
And he that sat on him had a bow and a crown was given unto him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer.
And when he had opened this second seal, I heard a beast say, Come and see.
What did you see?
And there went out another horse that was red, and power is given to him to sat upon it to take peace from the earth.
This is Revelation 6.
So this is the beginning of Revelation, even.
And they should kill one another, and was given unto him a great sword.
A great sword is a bomb.
Great swords kill millions of people.
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.
And I beheld and lo, a black horse, and he sat on him a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the 4BC: a measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and wine.
Let me read that in the living Bible.
A loaf of bread for $20.
That's what it says in the living Bible.
That's what's going to happen.
We're going to have famine.
We're going to have.
I've asked you to store food because no matter what happens, if you lose your job, you have food.
It doesn't hurt to store food.
The Bible says a wise man prepares.
War's Toll on Hospitals00:04:16
But I'm concerned that we're in a war.
And I researched the Iran war.
I've researched the doctors.
Not the Ayatollah, who killed probably millions of people by now.
But he's dead.
Now, listen to me: this war in Iran is in times.
Jesus is coming.
He said, when you see them killing one another, you see wars and rumors of wars all over.
Trump has done a job.
He's put a stop to, I don't know, about seven wars now.
And we thank God for that.
But man isn't going to be able to stop all the wars because in the end times, evil is going to rise up.
And the only way out is Jesus.
And this war in Iran, I was reading what's been written about the war already.
And most sex workers say Iran in the last month or so has killed over 30,000 people in the streets, people who want freedom.
And yet there's enemies of our country that say, oh my God, this is a bad war.
It's an illegal war.
But the Ayatollah has killed the doctors say 50,000 people in that last go-round in the streets.
The people of Iran, most of them want peace and safety.
Most of them want to be free.
And that's what our country is trying to do: help them to be free.
And I don't even want to tell you some of these things because they're awful, but there have been thousands in mass graves piled on top of each other.
And many of them have still their hospital guns on.
They were marching in the streets trying to have peace, trying to have a new regime.
And so they got injured and were put in the hospital.
And then the leaders went there, or the leaders called people to go there, and they killed them in the head, shot them in their hospital gowns and buried them by the thousands.
Mass graves.
And people say, well, we shouldn't go there.
Iran, we just said the bad war.
We shouldn't do that.
It's a war to save people.
I'm reading the doctor's reports, the medical reports from the doctors who are telling me that thousands are murdered and in mass graves, tortured, killed.
And they had their medical gowns still on from the hospital.
They're having treatment for their wounds.
And they were sick people who needed help.
And they were shot in the head by evil leaders.
People, this war is trying to free Iran and free its people.
We need to pray for Iran.
Pray For Our Country00:03:57
We need to pray for our country.
We need to pray for our leader, our president.
This is the end time.
And I'm going to be bringing some of the great prophets.
I've always brought the ones that I know are great prophets.
And we're going to have them on the PTL television network.
And I hope you will be watching every single day because the prophets, the Bible says God says, I'm not going to do anything.
I don't tell the prophets.
And the prophets have told us.
And we have them on our nation, on our network already, and I want you to be a part of this.
So the leaders of Iran were wicked.
We've eliminated a lot of them.
I don't know how long this war will last, but we must stand with our president, with our country.
We've got too many people against America.
America is a country under God.
God set up this country.
He gave it to us.
And I may be an old man of 86 years of age, but I'm telling you, and Jesus is coming.
And I'm going to be teaching Revelation after 20 years.
I taught it when I first started this network.
And now I'm going to dig into that.
And it's a big book.
It's a difficult book.
The last days are very, very, very difficult.
But I want you to know that Jesus loves you.
And we are to love each other.
I want you to forgive your pastors, your friends.
Forgive everyone.
And God says He's going to forgive you.
But if we don't forgive from our heart all people, we're not going to be forgiven.
If you don't know Jesus, ask Him into your heart right now.
Say, Jesus, come in.
Forgive me of my sins.
I want to live for you.
I believe Jesus died on the cross.
He rose from the grave.
He's alive.
He's the Savior of the world.
And I want to go be with him when I die.
And listen, the only way we're going to make heaven is being on God's side.
So I'm asking you to pray with me today.
Dear Jesus, don't let one person hearing my words right now go to hell.
Give him eternal life, I pray, in Jesus' name.
Well, it's been good being with you.
I'm here in my office at Morningside and I just jumped on.
I've never done this before, but I hope it works.
Mondo, Mondo's still with me after 30 years almost.
And the king is coming.
Let's be ready.
I'm going to talk about heaven on television.
I've had a lot of dreams the last few years.
And I've seen heaven.
And it is fabulous.
And I want a reunion of all the people who've watched I show for years, the millions that have come to Christ.
