hii frnz whats up in this video i will tell you about xiaomi outing new series in india
on november 2. this one come with a hashtag of bestselfie so lets get started.
my name is nikhil and you are watching tech niks. xiaomi's begun teasing an all-new
handset series via its social media channels, boasting that the best selfie smartphone is
coming soon.
You'll only have to wait a week to find out what it's talking about since it's
holding an event on November 2 to launch the device.
Speculation is rife as to what Xiaomi's plans are.
It's teasing the phone on its MIUI forums as well, hinting that it includes something
which fans have been impatiently waiting for.
It's possible this is an allusion to MIUI 9 which has been making slow progress over
the past few months.
Plus, the lightning symbol in the image above looks just like the software's logo.
The circle behind the lightning is probably symbolic of the selfie camera.
There are already a couple of phones that run on MIUI 9, such as the Mi Mix 2, Mi Note
3, and Redmi Note 5A.
Out of the 3, the latter two are also qualified to be considered selfie-centric phones.
Both sport 16MP front-facing lenses equipped with real-time beauty filters.
The Mi Note 3 has a special 'Adaptable AI Beautify' tool that utilizes the power of
AI-based algorithms to deliver realistic effects like smoothening skin without affecting image
quality.
It's important to mention that the company hasn't brought any Note series phone to
India ever since the lineup got launched in 2015.
In a way, that would make the Mi Note 3 the first of a new smartphone series, albeit one
which has already made its debut in China.
Still, the fact that Xiaomi is teasing the phone on its official forums as well suggests
that the upcoming handset is completely brand-new.
We'll just have to wait and see what the company comes up with on November 2.

Bitcoin Price Prediction + Analysis! Will It Keep Going Up? 2017, 2018, 2020 Price Prediction! - Duration: 7:45.
what's going on guys today we're gonna be talking about Bitcoin and Bitcoin
price and what pricing we think bitcoin is going to go to so a very requested
video everyone's always interested since the main bitcoin is the number one
cryptocurrency right now in the space and it probably will remain that way for
quite some time it's a pretty look at its price like it's oh it was at 6,000
its market cap is it was at a hundred that billion was that 100 billion before
aetherium runner up and it's only at 30 so it's way ahead of the competition and
yeah bitcoins really the number one this is what everyone knows if you're gonna
talk to people on the street you mentioned Bitcoin they'll probably know
it if you mentioned cardinal or cute um
they probably don't know what you're talking about so that's why we're gonna
go in I'm not gonna be giving any math here if you guys want like cap
calculations and stuff like that I can do that on another video just let me
know in the comments that's something you guys want to see otherwise look at
4.5% daily I actually might make a video a bit petite later we'll take a look at
it I'm not too familiar with it so I have to do my own research but that's
besides the point we're gonna go over the trends of the past Bitcoin and where
I think Bitcoin is going so um start obviously started Bitcoin was cheap this
is even when Bitcoin started here the price already hundred dollars Bitcoin
start price was that like point zero zero zero $1.00 so that's yeah this is
2013 2010 it was a lot less then it spiked up we got to the thousands
interesting nothing happened went back down and now here 2017 you
guys to see 2017 early 2017 you could have gotten this for where is it here
you go you could have got it for $1000 now it's past six thousand so if we look
at this part right here you guys to see the grit of the graph the trend it's
very easy to follow the path that's taken is relatively a very very easy one
to follow my zoom back out for us to see so what's the number one thing you guys
can tell that Bitcoin usually goes it spikes up it balances our it corrects a
little bit that'll shoot up again then it'll correct
that'll shoot up again and what's happening right now we're currently we
got past 6,000 at one point up here and now it's correcting it went all the way
back down to 5400 this would have been a great opportunity for people to buy I
don't know if it's gonna be any lower than that but currently it's what it
looks at five thousand seven hundred eighty three so it's still below six
thousand I think it's safe to say that it's going to go over six thousand again
pretty soon I don't know when but pretty soon and if you guys can see this is the
interesting part this is um this is the volume and you guys can see that
obviously when there wasn't a lot of volume there was not price wasn't that
high and this volume increase the price increase because this is really where
supply and demand comes there is maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoin right there
16 million in circulation right now so basically there is a cap to it there is
a certain limit to it we are mining it and I know you guys have seen crazy
price numbers everywhere but thing is if at the rate that we're mining it in
difficulty right now and the rate we're finding it in the president's going and
stuff like that there have been experts to say that milli that bitcoin front
might reach a million dollars now that's a lot of money right a lot of money some
people say that a Bitcoin could rent us for one Bitcoin some people say a
Bitcoin could reach a hundred thousand the thing is that people say these are
the people with open minds they are not gonna throw out and say something isn't
possible because Bitcoin went from point zero zero $1.00 to 6,000 so who's to say
it can't go to 1 million do I think it's going to 1 million anytime soon probably
not I'm not gonna say no look again I'm holding Bitcoin because I think Bitcoin
has a huge ceiling but I don't know if it's gonna be at 1 million anytime soon
the issue bitcoins having is trying to break through to people who are you know
close minded basically breaking through the system trying to you know create of
revolution that's it's the currency revolution we've had other revolutions
this is the currency revolution and nothing happens overnight you guys see
2017 is why I really started to get traction but if you think about how many
people own Bitcoin right now how many people invest in Bitcoin right now it's
a tiny fraction of the world so everyone else still has the opportunity to get
involved and trust me given time they're gonna start coming on
board cuz they're gonna realize what it is
most people say no when they're scared they don't understand something once
they start understanding it they start saying yes and that's really what we're
seeing right here and this is on the beginning and there's so many people
left to get into Bitcoin it's it's scary but that's why I'm saying bitcoin 5 is
by 2018 $10,000 is my prediction I think we're gonna end 2017 over way over 6,000
we might even hit 10,000 by 2017 but I'm gonna keep it safe and I'm gonna say
2018 is what I think we're gonna hit 10,000 and I'm gonna go out on a limb
and say in the future bitcoin is gonna hit a hundred thousand dollars I'm gonna
say it right now if you guys have two bitcoins right now twelve thousand
dollars you might be able to buy a Lamborghini in the future I actually saw
a video of a guy who paid a hundred and sixteen dollars for his Lamborghini
simply because he bought Bitcoin all the way back when and now it's worth so much
and he got a Lamborghini for a hundred sixteen dollars that he paid back then
so that's crazy but it's possible so I'm gonna that's
gonna be my prediction on where I think bitcoins headed
I think safe to say 6,000 is gonna be beaten obviously none of this is
financial advice obviously I have to throw this in here know this financial
advice I'm just telling you guys where I predict things are headed 6,000 fairly
safe to say I think 10,000 is pretty much a given at this point - it's
probably gonna hit 10,000 at some point and I'm saying it's gonna happen
hopefully in 2018 um after that 100,000 would be next waters he was like 20 30
to 50 thousand but I'm saying 100,000 in the long term I can see Bitcoin reaching
a hundred thousand dollars for one Bitcoin simply because there is a
maximum supply of it and a lot of people are gonna start still having to get into
it so the demand is going to skyrocket and the supply really isn't gonna change
cuz there's a maximum supply so basic economics is gonna tell us that bitcoins
price is gonna keep going up and yeah I'm super excited about this I
haven't seen this feature and this is what is this Oh interesting
oh yeah hopefully you guys learned a little bit something about Bitcoin price
you guys we went over the trends we went over predictions I would love to know
what your guys prediction is so leave that down below in the comments let me
know where you guys think bitcoins at five thousand seven hundred eighty three
at the moment I'm recording this video I don't know if I'm releasing this
tomorrow with or the day after so by the end it might already beat six thousand
who knows cryptocurrency is crazy volatile I love it for that reason
that's why a lot of people are making so much money with it if you guys are
interested in buying Bitcoin I have a link to coinbase down below you guys can
go check that out um it is super easy method to buy Bitcoin and for every
purchase that you guys make that's over $100 you get $10 free in bitcoins so
that's always a good time to anyways yeah guys thank you guys so much for
watching this video subscribe if you guys are new and you guys are interested
in more of these topics let me know if this any other video guys want to make
if you guys want me to make and all that stuff all that good stuff and yeah dang
guys so much for watching I'll see you tomorrow on another video

Catalonia latest: 'There will be violence' Clashes expected ahead of Puigdemont arrest
Violence mirroring the brutality of the referendum is to be expected as peaceful protesters meet Spain's civil guard and supporters await the arrest of Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, an expert has predicted.
Dr Sally-Ann Kitts, senior lecturer in Hispanic and Catalan Studies at the University of Bristol, told Express.co.uk she would be "amazed" if there was no violence as tensions continue to escalate.
She said: "The civil guard and the national police never left. They will be deployed and meet with large groups of Catalan people providing peaceful resistance.
"The images we saw on 1st October, people standing with their hands up in this sort of stand-off, and eventually the guards charged forward riot shields and batons - I really will be amazed if we don't see more of that, sadly.
"For example if they go to arrest Puigdemont I imagine there will be a very large group of people outside the parliament who want to stop them from doing that.
This sort of thing I think, tragically, is going to happen." Mr Puigdemont faces 30 years in jail if charged with rebellion" as Madrid seeks to impose direct rule. Dr Kitts believes Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy will continue to and could arrest multiple leaders within the Catalan government.
She said: "I think they've been pretty clear that , they'll probably arrest Carme Forcadell the president of the Catalan parliament as well. We don't know many people they will arrest, it could be a lot.
"It was noticeable that they did a secret ballot on independence, which could help to protect them.
"The Spanish government will arrest people, they will dissolve the parliament, they say they will call elections at some point, they say they will take over the public means of communication.
They also say they will take over the Catalan police force." This hard line approach , as Catalan leader Mr Puigdemont has encouraged, and it is highly likely clashes will ensue, Dr Kitts believes.
She added this was clearly not the best way forward, however Mr Rajoy and politicians in Madrid were unlikely to commence dialogue with Catalonia's leaders as they had rejected several approaches already.
Dr Kitts said bringing about dialogue would require "external intervention", calling on the to "recognise that this situation is not going to go away" and mediate.
It would take "substantial European pressure" on the Spanish Prime Minister to convince him to negotiate with separatists, she explained. She said: "Just saying that this is an internal affair is not going to cut it.
In the end they need to persuade Rajoy and his government that at some point they do need to sit down and talk." It comes after Spain's Attorney General has warned Mr Puigdemont that if he does declare independence for Catalonia, he .

English Grammar: Future with WILL vs BE GOING TO - Duration: 4:48.
Hi there, Vladimir here with another video about English Grammar
Not all languages have Future tense.
The Japanese language for instance doesn't and that's perfectly fine
it doesn't prevent Japanese people from developing futuristic technology
Just look at their space-age toilets
yes, that's my throne
Some languages don't have future tenses but English does
and the first word that comes to mind when talking about the future is WILL
Remember the WILL, don't forget the WILL.
Remember the WILL, don't forget the WILL.
WILL is the most common way of expressing future time
What will you do tomorrow?
What will you do next week?
I will see my friend tomorrow.
I will go to England next week.
To make the future less certain you can add the word PROBABLY:
I will probably see my friend tomorrow.
I will probably go to England next week.
The short form of WILL is I'LL
The short form of WILL NOT is WON'T
which sounds awfully similar to WANT, just a little longer
Don't worry, context takes care of everything, No one will get confused
the Future with BE GOING TO
I am going to see my friend tomorrow
I will see my friend tomorrow
What is the difference?
don't worry about that
You won't have time to think about that
next time you try to make a sentence about the future
They basically mean the same thing, both sentences are about the future
It is not going to rain tomorrow
It won't rain tomorrow
Same thing
There are other ways of expressing the future:
I will see my friend tomorrow (will)
I am going to see my friend tomorrow (be going to)
I will be seeing my friend tomorrow (future progressive/continuous)
I am seeing my friend tomorrow (present progressive/continuous)
The thing is
in a real face-to-face conversation, you won't have time to choose among the 4
therefore, the first grammar you need to master is Future Simple with WILL.
Remember the WILL
One thing you should know about grammar, you shouldn't study grammar haphazardly, randomly.
You should have a systematic, step-by-step approach to
studying Grammar and English in general
This type of videos, covering random grammar points, are not all that useful
That's why I wrote a grammar book, which gives you an easy-to-difficult, step-by-step
approach to learning English Grammar
My book English Grammar and Functions
is available on Amazon and virtuallynative.com

Jesus will CRUSH you - Duration: 5:58.
Jesus Christ does not need you or me, but He loves us and He cares for us, and He
invites us to follow Him; to become children of God and to become part of
His kingdom, but we have to submit ourselves to Him.
We have to forsake ourselves to become part of His kingdom and to serve Him.
Nothing that we are, that we have, can please Jesus. It is only our submission,
our willingness to Him and our obedience to Him that makes us suitable for the
kingdom of God. We have to submit to Him, so that He can crush us and mold us and
make us into useful instruments, that He can use for His kingdom.
Jesus will crush our self-confidence, our worldliness, our confidence in the things
of the world, He will crush our wisdom. He will crush our independence, so that we
can learn, that without Jesus we can do nothing. That is why Jesus says that if
we wish to follow Him we have to deny ourselves and pick up our cross every
day, follow Him. None of our initiatives, our plans or our
wisdom is useful to the kingdom of God, because our thoughts our plans and
everything about us is worldly. The flesh I cannot please God, as Jesus said:"The
flesh is worthless." We must submit ourselves to
Jesus and allow Him to crush us, to make us, to mold us, and to teach us, so that we
will be in perfect obedience to Him and His discipline, the guidance of His Holy
Spirit; so that we can do His will. We cannot bear fruit if we are not grafted
into the Vine. We cannot bear fruit for the kingdom of God and bring glory to
Jesus, if we do not follow and obey Him and do what He commands. Our words, our
thoughts, our plans, our initiatives, cannot please Jesus, because His thoughts,
His mind, His plans are higher than our thoughts. That is why we must forsake our
self, and we must submit our self to Jesus, allow ourselves to be transformed
into useful instruments. We must have the mind of Christ, and be led by the Holy
Spirit of Christ, to be useful for the kingdom of God, and to bear fruit for the
kingdom of God so that Jesus can be glorified. Most believers are not willing
to submit themselves to Jesus so that He can crush them, and make them mold them,
and use them, and therefore they become worthless for the kingdom of God; they
get cut off and burned and they end up in damnation with the children of
disobedience. To follow Jesus means for us to willfully submit ourselves to His
discipline, so that He can use us for His glory.
Very few people understand this, because many believe that Jesus came to glorify
them. We are here to glorify Him, to bring glory to Him, because He is the Lord of
glory. We have to submit ourselves to Jesus and totally lose our self in Him, to
become part of his kingdom, so that He can receive the glory and the
praise that is due to Him. Jesus Christ alone is worthy. Worship and
serve Him in utter holiness and obedience. Submit to Jesus and let Him
use you for His kingdom or else you will not enter. You will not be part of His
kingdom, you will be cast out, shown away, and doomed to destruction. Submit to
Jesus and follow Him, become part of His kingdom. May Jesus bless you.
Jesus Christ is alive and hell is real. I am here to introduce you to Jesus
Christ so that you can know Him and follow Him and have eternal life.

The planet will be swept by intense energies until the end of October - Duration: 1:52.
There is a good chance that you have felt very agitated lately, and without any good
reason for this unrest.
If this is the case, it means that you are sensitive to the powerful astrological energies
that flood us for a few days.
This energy flow will continue to have an effect until the end of this October.
The reason for all this turbulence is that the New Moon of October 19 was in Libra.
This astrological event gave a boost to the search for a balance.
While these energies may seem emotionally challenging, the purpose of their presence
is to help you by finding balance.
If you feel restless and worried, this is a sign of their influence on you.
Since these energies will continue to grow in the days to come, you will need to continue
to be attentive to your perception and actions as these energies do their work.
Do not neglect your feelings and emotions.
These energies will begin to lose intensity during the month of November, providing you
with freshness and preparing you for the new year.
If you cling to it and let yourself be guided by it until then, you will attract luck to
you.
It may sound like a difficult stalemate because you feel that your emotions are sabotaged
and you tend to get carried away.
Do not be discouraged just because you feel fragmented and separated from a whole; these
energies work in terms of reorganizing the balance.
Instead of worrying, focus on everything you want to achieve and start doing everything
to achieve your goals.
Taking the time to meditate often will help you control your home and, together, it will
increase your concentration.
Hold on, all this energy will ensure a better future.

The Office Fan Theory That Will Make You Fear Jim - Duration: 2:29.
- [Narrator] The American Office is
your typical workplace sitcom full of wacky characters,
harmless hijinx, will-they-won't they romantic drama,
and, of course, a brutal serial killer.
Oh, you didn't remember that?
Despite being a fun comedy about paper salesmen,
The Office actually had a running gag
about a local serial killer,
known as "The Scranton Strangler."
In Season Six, Andy holds up a newspaper
with the headline "Scranton Strangler Strikes Again."
One episode showed the gang watch
the strangler's arrest on TV,
and Human Resource drone Toby
even became a juror on the trial,
later confessing that he feared
he helped sentence an innocent man to death.
♫ Oh yeah
- [Announcer] Could this mean the real Scranton Strangler
is still at large,
and maybe even one of the cast members we know and love?
A lot of fans certainly think so.
It's not hard to see why,
considering that the show's producer promised
"explosive" twists in the final season,
adding that the killer would be "unmasked."
And so, even though revealing one of the characters
was secretly a serial killer seemed like an odd fit
for a show built on unrequited crushes and awkward silences,
the internet went full Miss Marple
trying to figure out who the hell it was.
Let's look at the suspects.
The most obvious choice seemed to be Creed,
the office's resident sketchy old man.
Most damningly, in one episode he runs away
after mistaking a murder mystery game
for a genuine investigation.
Another time, Creed comes to work on Halloween
wearing a blood-spattered shirt,
despite not knowing it was Halloween.
- That is really, really good timing.
- [Narrator] Some internet conspiracy theorists
believe it to be the needless creepy Gabe,
Toby himself and even Pam's ex-fiance, Roy,
who has a known history of violence.
Dwight dressed as the Strangler for Halloween,
so he's on the list,
but one Buzzfeed writer proposes
the most shocking choice of all:
America's Sweetheart, Jim Halpert.
Think about it, Jim Halpert is an effortless liar
who spent eight years torturing his office mate, Dwight,
and borderline stalking his office crush, Pam,
even though he knew she had a fiancé,
so we know he's not the most morally spotless guy.
But okay, being a serial killer is
a big leap from being a bully.
How about the fact that the Strangler only strikes
when Jim is in Scranton,
and never when he's working in Stamford or out on the road,
promoting his new company?
Could this floppy-haired, amoral sociopath
have been the terror of Scranton the whole time?
I mean, probably not, the evidence is kinda flimsy,
but it is the unwavering belief of this website
that he definitely was.
- Thank you, Scranton Stranger.
I love you.
You just took one more person's breath away.
- [Man] Yeah.

Iran Will Join Russia in the Last Days - Duration: 28:31.
>>ANNOUNCER: TODAY ON
THE JOHN ANKERBERG SHOW:
NORTH KOREA THREATENS NUCLEAR
STRIKES ON THE UNITED STATES,
IRAN CONTINUES TO THREATEN
ISRAEL, RUSSIA CONTINUES TO
EXERT ITS POWER IN THE MIDDLE
EAST, AND EUROPEAN STATES
STRUGGLE WITH ISLAMIC TERRORISM
INSIDE THEIR BORDERS.
THE GOD OF THE BIBLE HAS SPOKEN
ABOUT EVENTS THAT WILL HAPPEN
WHEN THE WORLD ENTERS THE LAST
DAYS. DO THE EVENTS WE ARE
SEEING AMONG THE NATIONS TODAY
RELATE TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
WILL HAPPEN IN THE LAST DAYS?
MY GUEST TODAY IS NEWS
JOURNALIST DR. JIMMY DEYOUNG
WHO HAS REPORTED FROM JERUSALEM
SINCE 1991 AND INTERVIEWED
EVERY ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS.
WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US.
>>JOHN ANKERBERG: WELCOME TO
OUR PROGRAM.
I'M JOHN ANKERBERG.
THANKS FOR JOINING ME.
WE HAVE A GREAT PROGRAM FOR YOU
TODAY. MY GUEST IS JOURNALIST
AND PROPHECY SCHOLAR JIMMY
DEYOUNG WHO SPENDS MOST
OF EVERY YEAR IN ISRAEL.
AND HE'S COMING TODAY TO REPORT
TO US ABOUT WORLD EVENTS.
WE COULD CALL THIS PROGRAM,
"WORLD EVENTS AND BIBLICAL
PROPHECY." BUT I WANT TO START
OUT WITH A QUESTION TO YOU.
AND IT HAS TO DO WITH,
THERE ARE SIX COUNTRIES THAT
HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON, OKAY?
IN FACT, THEY'VE GOT TWO THINGS
IN COMMON. AND I'M GOING TO
ASK YOU WHAT YOU THINK THOSE
TWO THINGS ARE THAT THEY HAVE
IN COMMON? WHAT ARE THE SIX
COUNTRIES FIRST OF ALL?
THE COUNTRIES ARE RUSSIA, IRAN,
TURKEY, LIBYA, SUDAN AND
ISRAEL. NOW, WHAT ARE THE TWO
THINGS THAT THOSE SIX COUNTRIES
HAVE IN COMMON?
NUMBER ONE, THESE COUNTRIES ARE
IN THE NEWS ALMOST EVERY DAY,
OKAY? I MEAN, YOU CAN'T READ
A NEWSPAPER WHERE YOU CAN'T
FIND SOMETHING ABOUT
THESE COUNTRIES EVERY DAY NOW.
NUMBER TWO IS SOMETHING
YOU MAY NOT KNOW.
ALL SIX OF THESE NATIONS
SHOW UP IN ONE CHAPTER OF
THE BIBLE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
THE PROPHET EZEKIEL,
IN CHAPTER 38, NAMES ALL SIX
OF THESE NATIONS AND SAYS
SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN
AMONG THEM. PROPHECY SCHOLARS
CALL THIS "THE EZEKIEL 38 WAR".
AND TODAY I WANT TO LOOK AT
THIS PASSAGE AND I WANT TO
LOOK AT IT IN A COUPLE WAYS.
ONE IS, IF THIS IS WHAT GOD
TOLD EZEKIEL, AND WE CAN SEE
SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT ARE
DEPICTED IN THIS CHAPTER THAT
JIMMY IS GOING TO UNFOLD FOR US
IN A MOMENT, THEN WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO US? HOW CLOSE DOES THIS
PUT US TO THE MAJOR EVENTS OF
BIBLICAL PROPHECY SUCH AS
THE RAPTURE, THE TRIBULATION
AND THE SECOND COMING?
WHAT DOES THIS TELL US,
ALRIGHT? AND SO, JIMMY,
NOW LET'S GO TO EZEKIEL 38.
AND I WANT TO FIRST OF ALL
SHOW THE PEOPLE FROM THE BIBLE
WHAT SCRIPTURE IS SAYING.
AND OF COURSE EZEKIEL WROTE
THIS 2600 YEARS AGO.
SO WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT
GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS AND
THE PEOPLE IN GROUPS THAT WERE
ON THERE, AND THE NATIONS THAT
WERE TALKED ABOUT IN THAT DAY
2600 YEARS AGO, THE TERRITORY
IS THE SAME BUT THE NAMES HAVE
CHANGED DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS.
IF WE TAKE THAT SAME
GEOGRAPHICAL AREA THAT HE'S
TALKING ABOUT AND THE NATIONS
THAT ARE THERE TODAY, I WANT
TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
ACCORDING TO EZEKIEL.
TAKE US TO EZEKIEL 38.
>>JIMMY DEYOUNG: JOHN, I THINK
THE KEY PHRASE THAT YOU JUST
MENTIONED WAS, WHO WERE
THESE NATIONS IN THE TIME THAT
EZEKIEL WROTE THE BOOK?
THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
HERMENEUTICAL PRINCIPLE.
IN OTHER WORDS, HERMENEUTICS,
THE SCIENCE OF INTERPRETING
SCRIPTURE, MEANS THAT YOU HAVE
TO LOOK AT IT WITH
SPECIAL PRINCIPLES IN MIND.
AND ONE OF THOSE PRINCIPLES:
THE LOCATIONS MENTIONED IN
THE BIBLE BY ANY ANCIENT JEWISH
PROPHET, OR EVEN THE HISTORIANS
MUST BE THE LOCATIONS THAT
THEY WERE A PART OF,
OR LIVING IN, OR REPORTING
ABOUT, AT THE TIME
THEY WROTE THE BOOK. NOW,
WHEN YOU GO BACK 2600 YEARS AGO
YOU GO TO EZEKIEL 38:2 AND
YOU SEE MAGOG. AND THAT IS
A PIECE OF REAL ESTATE.
IT'S ACTUALLY SAYING,
"GOG IN THE LAND OF MAGOG."
GOG IS THE PERSON,
MAGOG IS THE PLACE.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO
DETERMINE WHO MAGOG IS, AND
THAT WOULD BE THE HEBREW NAME
FOR THIS NATION, YOU HAVE TO GO
ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BOOK
OF GENESIS CHAPTER 10.
IN CHAPTER 9 THE LORD TOLD
NOAH AND HIS THREE SONS
TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY
AND RE-PEOPLE THE EARTH.
IN FACT, IN 9:6 HE ESTABLISHED
HUMAN GOVERNMENT. NOW HE DID
THAT EVEN BEFORE HE BROUGHT
NATIONS INTO EXISTENCE.
GENESIS, CHAPTER 10 IS TALKING
ABOUT THE SONS OF NOAH, THEY
WOULD BE GRANDSONS OF NOAH
AS WELL, WOULD BE BORN.
THEY WOULD RAISE THEIR FAMILIES
AND THEN THEY WOULD GO TO
A SPECIAL LOCATION AND
THERE ESTABLISH A NATION.
YOU LOOK AT 10:1-5, YOU SEE
HE MENTIONS THE SONS OF
JAPHETH. AND THOSE NAMES ARE
MAGOG, MESHECH, TUBAL, GOMER
AND TOGARMAH. THERE ARE
A COUPLE OF OTHER BROTHERS,
BUT THOSE ARE THE KEY THAT WILL
HELP US UNDERSTAND EZEKIEL 38.
NOW WE KNOW BY MANY YEARS
OF STUDY, AND THE GEOGRAPHICAL
SCHOLARS THAT LOOKED AT
THE BIBLE AND CAME TO SOME
CONCLUSIONS, WOULD HELP US TO
UNDERSTAND THAT MAGOG AFTER
RAISING HIS FAMILY, GIVING THEM
A LANGUAGE, THEY WOULD GO NORTH
OF THE BLACK SEA AND
THE CASPIAN SEA TO A PIECE OF
REAL ESTATE THAT WE KNOW TODAY
AS RUSSIA. SO WE THEN DETERMINE
MAGOG IS RUSSIA.
IN VERSE 2 AS WELL YOU HAVE
MESHECH AND TUBAL.
DOWN IN VERSE 6 YOU HAVE
TOGARMAH AND GOMER. AND THOSE
ARE FOUR LOCATIONS THAT ARE IN
SIMILAR CONTINENTS ON THE WORLD
STAGE TODAY. THAT WOULD BE
MODERN-DAY TURKEY.
GO BACK TO THE TIME OF ASIA
MINOR, THAT'S WHEN PAUL WAS
DOING HIS MISSIONARY JOURNEYS
THROUGHOUT ASIA MINOR AND THEN
INTO EUROPE. AND YOU CAN SEE
ANY ANCIENT MAP AT THAT TIME,
TURKEY WAS DIVIDED INTO
FOUR PARTS: MESHECH, TUBAL,
GOMER, TOGARMAH.
AND SO THERE'S THAT SECOND
NATION THAT WE SEE.
IN VERSE 5 IN THE TEXT IT SAYS
PERSIA. AND THAT WAS THE NAME
ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL 1936
OF WHAT BECAME ACTUALLY THREE
NATIONS, AFGHANISTAN, PAKISTAN
AND THE MAJOR NATION, IRAN.
PERSIA THEN IS GOING TO BE
A PLAYER, AND WE'RE LOOKING
AT IRAN SPECIFICALLY AS WE LOOK
AT THE SCENARIO, THE PROPHETIC
SCENARIO THERE IN THE BOOK OF
EZEKIEL 38. NEXT YOU SEE
IN THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION,
ETHIOPIA AND THEN LIBYA.
THAT WOULD BE CUSH WHICH WOULD
BE ETHIOPIA. AND WHEN YOU ARE
TALKING ABOUT CUSH, MOST OF
THE TIME YOU ARE REFERRING TO
SUDAN, BUT IT CAN BRING IN
ETHIOPIA, IT CAN BRING IN
SOMALIA AS WELL,
BUT THE MAIN FOCUS IS ON SUDAN.
AND THEN LIBYA WOULD BE PUT IN
THE HEBREW BIBLE, AND THAT IS
THE WESTERN PART OF NORTHERN
AFRICA WHERE LIBYA IS LOCATED
TODAY. OF COURSE THE WHOLE
FOCUS OF THIS COALITION
OF NATIONS, THEY WILL ALIGN
THEMSELVES TO COME AGAINST
THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL.
THERE YOU BRING YOUR SIX
PLAYERS INTO EZEKIEL 38.
>>ANKERBERG: ALRIGHT.
NOW SO IN BRIEF WHAT DOES
EZEKIEL SAY? AND I WANT YOU
TO USE YOUR PILLARS UP HERE
TO ILLUSTRATE, NOT ONLY
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BUT THEN
WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
ACCORDING TO THE PROPHETIC
CALENDAR.
>>DEYOUNG: WELL, LET ME LOOK
THROUGH THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS
THAT THE LORD HAS PLANNED FOR
THE FUTURE. YOU SEE THREE
PILLARS IN FRONT OF YOU,
AND AS YOU'RE SITTING THERE
IN FRONT OF THE TELEVISION.
YOU SEE ONE ON YOUR LEFT,
AND THEN THE MIDDLE, AND THEN
ON THE RIGHT. THE ONE ON
THE LEFT WOULD REPRESENT
THE FIRST EVENT, THE NEXT EVENT
IN GOD'S CALENDAR OF
ACTIVITIES, WHICH WOULD BE
THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH.
NOW, THAT WORD RAPTURE IS NOT
USED IN THE BIBLE, BUT
THE DESCRIPTION OF THAT EVENT
IS FOUND IN
FIRST THESSALONIANS 4:13-18,
JOHN 14:1-6, AND THE BOOK OF
REVELATION, WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT 4:1. AND THESE THREE
PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE ARE
TALKING ABOUT JESUS SHOUTING,
THE ARCHANGEL SHOUTING,
THE TRUMP OF GOD SOUNDING,
AND WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP
TO MEET HIM IN THE AIR.
THAT IS THE RAPTURE OF
THE CHURCH DESCRIBED IN GOD'S
WORD. YOU SEE A SPACE BETWEEN
THE FIRST PILLAR TO YOUR LEFT
AND THEN THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE.
THAT WOULD BE A SEVEN YEAR
PERIOD OF TIME. THAT IS
REFERRED TO AS THE TRIBULATION.
IN FACT BY JESUS, AND THAT'S
WHERE I GOT THE TITLE FROM,
MATTHEW 24:29 WHEN HE SAYS,
"IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE TRIBULATION I AM GOING
TO COME BACK TO THE EARTH.
NOW, THAT WOULD BE
THE MIDDLE PILLAR THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WHICH IS
THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
ON YOUR LEFT WOULD BE
THE RAPTURE; THE SPACE,
THE TRIBULATION PERIOD.
THE MIDDLE PILLAR WOULD THEN BE
THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST BACK
TO THE EARTH. THAT'S SOMETIMES
REFERRED TO AS THE SECOND
COMING. JESUS CHRIST COMES BACK
TO THE EARTH, GOD THE FATHER
GIVES HIM HIS KINGDOM,
AND THAT IS THAT SPACE BETWEEN
THE MIDDLE PILLAR
AND THE FAR RIGHT PILLAR.
AND THAT'S THE KINGDOM PERIOD,
THAT'S A 1000-YEAR PERIOD
OF TIME WHEN JESUS CHRIST WILL
RULE AND REIGN FROM THE CITY OF
JERUSALEM ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
AT THE END OF THAT TIME WE THEN
SEE THE THIRD PILLAR, WHICH IS
REPRESENTING THE RETRIBUTION.
AND THAT IS THE GREAT WHITE
THRONE JUDGMENT WHEN JESUS WILL
HAVE ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE NOT
RECEIVED HIM AS LORD AND
SAVIOR, THEIR NAME IS NOT
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
THEY WILL STAND BEFORE HIM TO
BE SENTENCED INTO THE LAKE OF
FIRE. SO YOU HAVE THE RAPTURE
TO THE LEFT, IN THE MIDDLE
YOU HAVE THE RETURN, AND THEN
YOU HAVE THE RETRIBUTION.
AND AFTER THAT
WE HAVE ETERNITY FUTURE.
>>ANKERBERG: ALRIGHT.
NOW, THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE
THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
IN EZEKIEL 38, AFTER HE NAMES
THESE NATIONS, IN BRIEF HE SAYS
THERE'S GOING TO BE A COALITION
OF NATIONS, AND HE NAMES THESE
THAT WE'VE JUST TALKED
ABOUT. AND THEY ARE GOING TO
COME AGAINST THE NATION
OF ISRAEL, OKAY? THERE'S GOING
TO BE A WAR. NOW, BEFORE
WE DESCRIBE THAT MORE FULLY,
WHERE IN YOUR SCENARIO DOES
THAT WAR COME?
>>DEYOUNG: YOU HAVE THE RAPTURE
OVER HERE ON YOUR LEFT, AND
THEN THE TRIBULATION PERIOD.
IN ESSENCE IN THE FIRST SIX
MONTHS OF THAT TRIBULATION
PERIOD, THAT'S WHERE I PUT
THE BATTLE OF GOG AND MAGOG.
IT'S IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS
BECAUSE OF MANY OTHER
SCRIPTURES THAT HELP US
TO RECOGNIZE THAT IS THE TIME.
AND IN ADDITION TO THAT,
EZEKIEL 38 LISTS THE SIX
THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
BUT YOU HAVE TO BRING TO
THE TABLE AS WELL PSALM 83
WHICH ADDS TWO ADDITIONAL
NATIONS, SAUDI ARABIA AND
LEBANON. AND THEN YOU GO BACK
TO DANIEL 11:40-45, AND THAT
BRINGS THEN INTO OUR DISCUSSION
BOTH SYRIA AND EGYPT.
AND THAT WOULD BE THE ENTIRE
CONSTITUENCY OF THOSE WHO HATE
THE JEWISH PEOPLE, WHO WANT TO
TRY TO WIPE THEM OFF THE FACE
OF THE EARTH. THAT HAPPENING
IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS
AFTER THE RAPTURE
INTO THE TRIBULATION.
>>ANKERBERG: JIMMY, WHEN WE
LOOK AT EZEKIEL 38, IT SAYS
THAT RUSSIA, INTERESTING,
IS GOING TO LEAD THE PACK,
ALRIGHT? HE'S GOING TO LEAD
THE COALITION OF NATIONS.
AND THE QUESTION IS, DO WE SEE
EVIDENCE OF THIS TODAY?
AND WHAT ARE THE OTHER THINGS
THAT THE BIBLE SAYS IS GOING TO
UNITE THIS COALITION OF NATIONS
TO COME AGAINST ISRAEL,
AND DO WE SEE EVIDENCE OF THAT
TODAY IN THE NEWS?
>>DEYOUNG: WELL, LET'S THINK
ABOUT RUSSIA JUST FOR A MOMENT.
WHEN JUDY AND I GOT TO ISRAEL
BACK IN 1991, THAT WAS THE TIME
OF THE GULF CRISIS. AND WE WERE
THERE FOR THE 39 SCUD ATTACKS.
BUT ANOTHER VERY INTERESTING
THING TOOK PLACE AT THE END
OF 1991 WITH THE FALL OF
THE SOVIET UNION. AT THAT TIME,
THE SOVIET UNION BECAME KNOWN
AS "THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION".
BORIS YELTSIN FOR THE NEXT
EIGHT YEARS WOULD BE PRESIDENT.
HE BROUGHT A MAN WHO WAS
ASSISTANT MAYOR OVER IN
ST. PETERSBURG INTO
HIS ADMINISTRATION.
AND IN 1999 BORIS YELTSIN
RESIGNED AND APPOINTED THIS
YOUNG MAN AS THE PRESIDENT
OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
THAT YOUNG MAN'S NAME:
VLADIMIR PUTIN. AND THAT GAVE
HIM HIS START AS THE LEADER
OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
HE RAN FOR ELECTION AND FOR
THE NEXT TWO TERMS OF EIGHT
YEARS HE WAS THE LEADER OF
THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE.
AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME
HE WAS, BY TERM LIMITS,
RESTRICTED FROM RUNNING AGAIN.
HE PUT HIS NUMBER TWO MAN,
MEDVEDEV, IN AS THE PRESIDENT,
HE BECAME THE PRIME MINISTER.
AND THEN HE HAD
THE CONSTITUTION CHANGED
SO THAT HE COULD BECOME
THE POWERFUL LEADER OF RUSSIA
WITH SIX-YEAR TERMS, GIVING HIM
A 12-YEAR TERM BEFORE HIS TIME
WOULD RUN OUT AS PRESIDENT.
THE REASON I GAVE YOU THAT
BACKGROUND IS THAT IS HELPING
US TO UNDERSTAND HOW VLADIMIR
PUTIN HAS BECOME SO POWERFUL.
SINCE 1999 HE HAS BASICALLY
BEEN LEADING THIS COUNTRY
OF RUSSIA; RUSSIA [IS] AMONG
THE TOP NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
YOU'D PUT CHINA; YOU'D PROBABLY
PUT INDIA IN THERE; THE UNITED
STATES OF COURSE; BUT RUSSIA.
THEY HAVE A VERY STRONG
MILITARY. THEY'RE CONTINUING
TO REVAMP THEIR MILITARY
TO MAKE IT ULTIMATELY
THE STRONGEST IN THE WORLD.
THEY HAVE NUCLEAR POWERS.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT
RUSSIA IS A MAJOR PLAYER
ON THE WORLD SCENE.
NOW, WHEN YOU ADD TO THAT
THE EXTENSION OF RUSSIA INTO
THE MIDDLE EAST. THIS HAPPENED
BACK IN THE 60'S AND THE 70'S,
BUT IT'S REALLY TAKING PLACE
TODAY AS RUSSIA REACHES OUT TO
THE MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES,
THOSE THAT WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT WHEN WE INTRODUCED
EZEKIEL 38. I'M TALKING ABOUT
IRAN. WHAT DID THEY DO FOR
IRAN? THEY ASSISTED THEM IN
DEVELOPING A NUCLEAR WEAPON
OF MASS DESTRUCTION PROGRAM.
THEY GAVE THEM THE TECHNOLOGY,
THE TECHNICIANS TO BRING THAT
ABOUT. THEY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
NOW WITH TURKEY, WITH EGYPT,
WITH SYRIA. THEY HAVE
A RELATIONSHIP EVEN WITH
SAUDI ARABIA, WHO ARE GOING
TO BE PUTTING TOGETHER
THESE ATOMIC ENERGY OUTLETS
WHERE THEY CAN DEVELOP
THE ENERGY THEY NEED TO LIVE.
BUT THAT IS JUST SIMPLY
THE BEGINNING OF PUTTING
TOGETHER A NUCLEAR WEAPON
PROGRAM. SO HE'S DEVELOPING
THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH
ALL THE PLAYERS THAT ARE LISTED
THERE IN EZEKIEL 38.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT EVERYBODY
EXCEPT RUSSIA, ALL THE OTHER
PLAYERS THAT WE'VE TALKED
ABOUT, THE LOWEST COMMON
DENOMINATOR, THEY ARE ISLAMIC.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BRING THEM
TOGETHER. AND RUSSIA, WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF
RUSSIA, YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE
HOW THE ISLAMIC FAITH IS
GROWING IN THAT NATION AS WELL.
THERE'S A HATRED AMONG ALL OF
THOSE ISLAMIC NATIONS OF
THE JEWISH PEOPLE. THAT PULLS
YOU TOGETHER AS A UNIT.
WHEN YOU HAVE AN ENEMY THAT YOU
WANT TO DESTROY, YOU BASICALLY
CAN, MOST OF THE TIME, FORGET
ABOUT YOUR OWN PROBLEMS WITH
THE OTHER NATIONS MENTIONED AND
FOCUS ON YOUR ENEMY, THE NATION
OF ISRAEL. THE WHOLE PURPOSE
FOR THIS COALITION IS
TO WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE
OF THE EARTH.
>>ANKERBERG: YES.
AND LET'S FACE IT.
RIGHT NOW ONE OF THE MAJOR
THINGS THAT THE UNITED STATES
HAS IS A PROBLEM WITH RUSSIA.
WE CAN'T GET THEM TO COOPERATE
ALMOST ON ANYTHING AND
THE TENSIONS ARE RISING.
NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
HAS HAPPENED IS RUSSIA HAS
ENCROACHED INTO SYRIA, OKAY?
AND TRUMP MADE A DEAL WITH
PUTIN RECENTLY, AND THERE IS
A SAFE ZONE. BUT WHO'S GUARDING
THAT SAFE ZONE? AND WHAT
RAMIFICATIONS DOES THAT HAVE?
>>DEYOUNG: SOUNDS LIKE THE FOX
IS GUARDING THE CHICKEN COOP
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT:
WHO'S GUARDING THAT SAFE ZONE
THERE IN SYRIA.
>>ANKERBERG: NOW EXPLAIN THAT
TO PEOPLE, BECAUSE YOU'RE
COMING FROM ISRAEL SAYING THAT.
EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN.
>>DEYOUNG: WE WERE JUST ON
THE ISRAELI BORDER WITH SYRIA.
THAT'S IN THE NORTH AT MOUNT
HERMON. OUR TOUR GROUP THAT
WE WERE TAKING THROUGH THE LAND
STOPPED AT A PLACE ACROSS FROM
QUNEITRA, WHICH HAD BEEN
AN ISOLATED CITY SINCE 1967
WHEN THE SIX-DAY WAR TOOK
PLACE. AND SYRIA WAS ONE OF
THE MAJOR PLAYERS TRYING TO
WIPE ISRAEL BEGINNING AT THAT
TIME OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
WHEN THE ISRAELIS WERE ABLE TO
WIN AND PUSH THE SYRIANS OUT
OF THE GOLAN HEIGHTS, THERE WAS
A LOCATION, A LITTLE COMMUNITY
THERE CALLED QUNEITRA RIGHT
ON THE BORDER. AND SO
WHAT THEY DID, SYRIA AT
THAT POINT, BASHAR AL-ASSAD'S
FATHER HAFEZ AL-ASSAD DECIDED
TO EVACUATE THAT CITY, MAKE IT
A PROPAGANDA PLOY TO THE WORLD
THAT THEY WERE AFRAID THAT
THE STATE OF ISRAEL, THE JEWISH
STATE OF ISRAEL, WOULD ATTACK
THEM. WELL, THE RUSSIANS HAVE
JUST MOVED INTO QUNEITRA.
THEY ARE WITHIN FIVE MILES OF
THE ISRAELI BORDER. THEY ARE
NOW IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING
A PERMANENT BASE THERE
AT QUNEITRA. THEY HAVE JUST
BROUGHT IN 5,000 MERCENARIES,
MOST OF THEM OUT OF SOUTH
AMERICA. MOST OF THOSE OUT OF
THE 5,000 WOULD BE FROM
ARGENTINA. AND THEY ARE
A ELEMENT OF ALL THE COMMANDO
UNITS THAT USED TO FIGHT WITH
THE RUSSIANS AND NOW HAVE
BECOME SOLDIERS FOR HIRE.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU PAY ME AND
I'LL BE YOUR SOLDIER WHEREVER
YOU NEED ME. SEND ME IN
AS MERCENARIES. THESE ARE ALL
STATIONED ON THE ISRAELI BORDER
THERE IN THE NORTH IN
THE GOLAN HEIGHTS. REMEMBER
THE GOLAN HEIGHTS EXTENDS OVER
INTO SYRIA. THAT'S THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
THE SOUTHERN PART EXTENDS
INTO ISRAEL ABOUT 67 MILES.
NOW, AT THE SAME TIME THAT
THE RUSSIANS ARE BUILDING
THAT PERMANENT BASE, THEY BRING
THEIR FRIENDS WHO ARE A PART
OF IRAN. WE TALKED ABOUT IRAN,
TALKED ABOUT PERSIA,
EARLIER ON IN EZEKIEL 38.
WELL, THE SURROGATE TERRORIST
ORGANIZATION FOR THE IRANIANS
WOULD BE HEZBOLLAH IN SOUTHERN
LEBANON. AND SO THEY BRING
THESE TERRORISTS ACTUALLY,
OVER INTO THE BORDER AROUND
QUNEITRA THERE IN ISRAEL'S
NORTHERN BORDER. YOU HAVE
THE SYRIAN SOLDIERS.
WAIT A MINUTE! AS WE STOP TO
THINK ABOUT IT AS I'M SAYING
THAT, I AGAIN REALIZE THAT
AS THE COALITION STARTING TO
FORM TO GO AGAINST THE JEWISH
STATE OF ISRAEL. THAT IS
EZEKIEL ALMOST BEING PLAYED OUT
ON THE WORLD STAGE TODAY.
SO THEY ARE GATHERED THERE
AT THE ISRAELI BORDER.
AND IN FACT, THE ISRAELI
DEFENSE FORCE IS SO MUCH
CONCERNED, THEY HAVE MASSED
THEIR TROOPS ON THE SOUTHERN
SIDE OF THE BORDER IN
ANTICIPATION OF WHAT MAY BE
TAKING PLACE. AND WHEN YOU LOOK
AT IT YOU'VE GOT SYRIA WHO WILL
MAKE THE FIRST MOVE TO GO
AGAINST THE JEWISH STATE
OF ISRAEL; RUSSIA, IRAN,
HEZBOLLAH, AND THEN YOU HAVE
ALL OF THE OTHER FORCES
WAITING TO COME IN
AND JOIN THIS COALITION.
>>ANKERBERG: YES.
NOW PRESIDENT TRUMP WENT AND
SPOKE TO THE ARAB LEAGUE IN
SAUDI ARABIA AND SO ON, AND
OVER THE 51 REPRESENTATIVE
NATIONS THAT WERE THERE.
AND THEN CAME TO ISRAEL.
AND I REMEMBER REUVEN RIVLIN,
THE PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL,
PUT HIS ARMS AROUND TRUMP AND
GAVE HIM A GREAT BIG HUG, AND
WAS AS HAPPY AS I'VE EVER SEEN
REUVEN. AND THEN HE WENT AND
HE HAD DINNER WITH NETANYAHU.
AND NETANYAHU, AFTER HE HEARD
THE FACT THAT THEY WERE GOING
TO CREATE THIS SAFE ZONE IN
SYRIA, AND RUSSIA WAS GOING TO
GUARD IT, THERE WERE TWO THINGS
THAT HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T
LIKE ABOUT IT. WHAT WAS IT?
>>DEYOUNG: WELL, THE FACT IS
THAT THEY HAVE...
THAT OPPORTUNITY HAS BEEN TAKEN
AWAY FROM THEM TO BE ABLE TO
STRIKE THE ELEMENTS THAT THEY
MAY NEED TO STRIKE IN SYRIA.
IN OTHER WORDS, SYRIA HAS BEEN
ACCUSED OF USING CHEMICAL
WEAPONS. AND THE TRANSFER OF
THOSE CHEMICAL WEAPONS OVER
TO HEZBOLLAH HAS BEEN PREVALENT
THROUGHOUT THESE LAST FIVE
OR SIX YEARS OF THE CIVIL WAR
THERE IN SYRIA. AND YOU'LL KNOW
THAT, IF YOU HAVE READ
THE NEWSPAPER OR HEARD
THE TELEVISION REPORTS THAT
THE ISRAELI JETS WOULD GO IN
AND TAKE OUT THOSE CONVOYS THAT
WERE MOVING TOWARDS HEZBOLLAH.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, IT'S RIGHT
AT ISRAEL'S NORTHERN BORDER.
SO THAT'S A VERY SCARY TYPE OF
A SITUATION. BUT IN THE PROCESS
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT PEACE.
THAT WAS THE REASON THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP WENT INTO SAUDI
ARABIA, MET WITH 51 OF THE ARAB
AND ISLAMIC STATES LEADERS, AND
TALKED ABOUT WHAT THEY NEEDED
TO DO TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
WITH ISRAEL. WENT THEN TO
ISRAEL, MET WITH NETANYAHU,
AND FROM THERE HE LEFT AND
WENT OVER TO MEET WITH
THE POPE IN ROME. WELL,
THAT'S A PROPHETIC SCENARIO IN
GOD'S WORD. BECAUSE THE WAY
THIS COALITION IS GOING TO GET
READY TO MOVE IN AND ENDEAVOR
TO DESTROY THE JEWISH STATE IS
WHEN THE JEWS ARE LIVING IN
A LAND IN PEACE, OR A PSEUDO
PEACE. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE
A VERY INTERESTING TIME,
BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AFTER
THE RAPTURE AT THE BEGINNING
OF THE TRIBULATION PERIOD.
>>ANKERBERG: YES. WHAT GOT ME
ABOUT NETANYAHU, AFTER TRUMP
LEFT WAS HE SAID, "YOU CAN
CREATE THAT SAFE ZONE, BUT IF
YOU BRING IN IRAN'S TROOPS,
IF YOU DO NOT PROTECT ISRAEL,
IT'S NOT GOING TO KEEP ISRAEL
FROM ATTACKING INSIDE THAT
SAFE ZONE." SO WE ALREADY HAVE
SOME PROBLEMS THAT ARE,
THAT ARE COMING UP.
THERE'S A REPORT THAT SAYS
THERE ARE 120,000 ROCKETS
ALREADY AIMED AT ISRAEL ON
THE LEBANON SIDE OVER THERE.
AND THEN THERE'S OTHER ROCKETS
THAT ARE ON THE SYRIAN SIDE,
ALL POINTED AT ISRAEL.
THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY COULD
LET OFF OVER 1200 TO 1500
ROCKETS A DAY. AN IRON DOME
WITH ALL OF ITS FACETS STILL
COULDN'T COVER ALL OF THOSE
ROCKETS. SO THAT'S WHAT ISRAEL
IS FACING RIGHT NOW.
SO, WE'VE GOT TENSION COMING
BIG TIME IN THE DAYS AHEAD
WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
>>DEYOUNG: WELL, IN FACT,
IF YOU REMEMBER I TOLD YOU
WE STOPPED THERE ON THE ISRAELI
SIDE IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS
ACROSS FROM QUNEITRA.
AND AS OUR BUS STOPPED AND
THE PEOPLE WERE GOING TO GET
OFF AND TAKE SOME PICTURES,
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ISRAELI
DEFENSE FORCE JEEP DROVE UP.
THEY SAID, "GET BACK IN
THE BUS. THEY HAVE JUST LOBBED
A MISSILE ACROSS THE BORDER."
AND SO THOSE MISSILES
ARE STARTING TO COME ACROSS.
WHETHER IT'S BY ACCIDENT OR
WHETHER IT'S BY PURPOSE,
THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCE
IS NOT SAYING RIGHT THIS
MOMENT. BUT THE TENSION IS
THERE. THAT BORDER IS AS HOT
AS IT'S EVER BEEN AS LONG AS
I'VE BEEN STUDYING
BIBLE PROPHECY.
>>ANKERBERG: ALRIGHT.
NEXT WEEK, FOLKS, WE'RE GOING
TO TAKE ONE OF THE OTHER
NATIONS THAT THE PROPHET
EZEKIEL TALKS ABOUT.
AND THAT IS PERSIA, AND THAT IS
IRAN. AND OF COURSE THERE IS
A TON TO TALK ABOUT. JIMMY HAS
JUST COME FROM ISRAEL SO
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT ALL
OF THAT, AND WHERE ARE EVENTS
HEADED, AND HOW CLOSE ARE WE
TO THE EZEKIEL 38 WAR?
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE NEWS SHOULD YOU INTERPRET
THE NEWS IN LIGHT OF EZEKIEL 38
IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN?
I THINK YOU SHOULD,
BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING PLENTY
OF EXAMPLES, ALRIGHT?
SO I HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN US
NEXT WEEK AS WE CONTINUE
TO LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
ABOUT WORLD EVENTS THAT
WE'RE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW.

'UNACCEPTABLE' United States will NEVER allow a nuclear North Korea vows Mattis
Mr Mattis warned that the secretive country's advancing nuclear and missile programs would undermine, rather than strengthen its security. He said: Make no mistake - any attack on the United States, or our allies, will be defeated.
And any use of nuclear weapons by the North will be met with a massive military response that is both effective and overwhelming.
The US Defence Secretary said: I cannot imagine a condition under which the United States can accept North Korea as a nuclear power. " This comes as he warned that the threat of a nuclear missile attack by North Korea is accelerating.
He warned that the country run by the despot Kim Jong-Un would face a "massive military response" if it used nuclear weapons as he vowed to defeat any attack.
Mr Mattis has made it clear that North Korea is overmatched by the firepower and the bond of the US-South Korea alliance. In September, North Korea carried out its sixth nuclear test, which was its biggest yet.
It has also carried out a series of missile tests, firing two ballistic missiles over Japan.
Mr Mattis has been in Asia where he has been trying to highlight the importance of diplomacy in solving the crisis. Mattiss South Korean counterpart, Defence Minister Song Young-moo, dismissed the idea of deploying tactical nuclear weapons to the peninsula as a response to the Norths advances.
Tensions between the United States and the Korean Peninsula have soared following a series of nuclear and missile tests led by Kim Jong-Un. .
Trump - who has threatened to destroy the North if necessary - leaves on his first trip as president to Asia next week, including a stop in South Korea to meet President Moon Jae-in.
Moon, after talks with Mattis on Friday, said the aggressive deployment of U.S. strategic assets in the region, which have included overflights by U.S. bombers, had been effective in deterring the North Korean threat.
U.S. intelligence experts say Pyongyang believes it needs the nuclear weapons to ensure its survival and have been skeptical about diplomatic efforts, focusing on sanctions, to get Pyongyang to denuclearise.
Mattis suggested, however, that Pyongyang needed to understand that its weapons programs would not strengthen its defences. If it remains on its current path of ballistic missiles and atomic bombs, it will be counter-productive, Mattis said, adding North Korea would be reducing its security..

'No EU state will recognise Catalonia' Brussels turns on Barcelona - Duration: 4:27.
'No EU state will recognise Catalonia' Brussels turns on Barcelona
Although the region has declared itself an independent country, it will now need international recognition to be counted as a state in its own right.
An EU legal expert believes there is no chance any state in the bloc would recognise Catalonia. French legal expert Jean-Claude Piris, a former legal advisor to the EU Council, said: "What's important is recognition by the international community.
"Maybe some countries like North Korea or Venezuela will recognise this independence, but no EU state will.".
France, Germany, the UK, the US and Mexico have all refused to acknowledge Catalan statehood. The only country considering the move is Finland, after an MP announced plans to trigger a vote on recognising Catalonia.
MP for Lapland Mikko Karna said he intends to submit a motion to the Finnish parliament recognising the regions independence.
Mr Karna, who is part of the ruling Centre Party, also sent his congratulations to after the regional parliament voted on breaking away from the rest of Spain.
It means Finland could go against the rest of the EU and recognise the fledgling state. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned due to the seismic events in Catalonia.
The events have caused ruptures in the bloc as the EU sides with Spain, much to the disgust of those outraged by the brutality of referendum day, when the civil guard forcibly dragged protesters away from polling stations.
But EU Council President Donald Tusk said for the EU despite the Catalan Parliament voting to break away from Spain.
He said the EU would continue to only speak with Spain as the conflict continues. A statement from the European Union on October 2 read: "Under the Spanish Constitution, yesterdays vote in Catalonia was not legal.
For the European Commission, as President Juncker has reiterated repeatedly, this is an internal matter for Spain that has to be dealt with in line with the constitutional order of Spain." The statement called for dialogue but firmly sided with Spanish authorities over the independence debate.
However an expert on Catalonia told Express.co.uk the EU and put pressure on Spain to get around the negotiating table with the separatists in order to solve the crisis.
Dr Sally-Ann Kitts, senior lecturer in Hispanic and Catalan Studies at the University of Bristol, said it would take "substantial European pressure" to get Mr Rajoy around the negotiating table and Brussels may be forced to intervene.
She said: "I realise the EU is in a very difficult position - although I do think that not condemning the violence was a really big mistake and quite shameful - but nonetheless they have to recognise that.
"Just saying that this is an internal affair is not going to cut it. In the end they need to persuade Rajoy and his government that at some point they do need to sit down and talk.".
