Episode Transcript
Hello, beloved.
I actually hadn't planned on doing any programs today, but if you've been paying attention to the news, there's something happening with this war that has started between Israel and the nation of Iran, which according to the biblical text would be the Persians.
Oh, and it's important because the President of the United States is about to make a very important decision.
I will probably make that decision today.
And I did n't want to waste any more time talking about this because some people ask questions and start connecting this with some biblical texts, with some prophecies.
In fact, some people ask me questions and say, "Brother Perez, pastor so-and- so is saying that this is the fulfillment of such and such prophecy or that what is happening today, this week, has to do with the end or that or that the Medes, Persians.
In this case, the Persians, such and such prophecy is being fulfilled that is there in the Old Testament, and immediately, we have this tendency to seek fulfillment.
So, today I want to clarify what is biblical and what is not biblical.
What is really happening?
What belongs to biblical prophecy and what does not belong to biblical prophecy?
So, there are many who are alarmists and look for opportunities to alarm, and in reality, sometimes they apply texts that are not there or they apply events that are not in the text.
Biblical.
Oh, and well, people get confused.
The war a few days ago, you know, you saw the news that Israel began attacking Iran.
In this case, Iran for us, according to the Bible, according to biblical prophecy, are the Persians.
And yes, they are in the prophecy.
I'm going to show you some biblical texts and I'm going to tell you exactly what it is and what it isn't.
But Israel attacked because Israel, and the argument is quite valid.
I'm not going to get into the area of politics.
I'm going to limit myself to what has to do with the word of God.
But they attacked because Iran has been developing nuclear weapons, at least preparing the elements, what is needed to produce an atomic bomb or a nuclear weapon.
And the United States, well, has been concerned about that, and the president of the United States here has been saying no, that they are not going to have a nuclear weapon.
Again and again He has stated that he will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
We see the danger of this because Iran has already said in the past that they will wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
And well, Israel knows that if they had a nuclear weapon, the first thing that would happen is that, uh, if they follow through on what they say, and in this case, we must believe them because this is a hatred that has lasted for centuries, uh, they would go and eradicate Israel.
Ah, because for them it is a fulfillment, for them there is theology in this according to what they believe, according to their religion.
Now, that is all on the table.
Uh, uh, at this moment, Israel, as you have seen the news, has already disarmed some of Iran's war capabilities .
It has even been able to kill some of the leaders of the army and in certain positions, and they have also been able to bomb some of the sites used to produce, to enrich uranium, as they say, and be able to to have a nuclear weapon, whether that's true or not, because they deny it, they say they have no intention of making a nuclear weapon.
What they want is to have nuclear energy.
But well, uh, the question is whether you're going to believe them or not.
And Israel doesn't want to take the risk, uh, it says, "Well, even if they say they're not going to make a nuclear weapon, we know what their intentions are and we know that this is a matter of existence.
If they get a nuclear weapon, we will cease to exist.
So, well, that's the argument.
Now, uh, as far as prophecy goes, uh, the Persians are mentioned in Bible prophecy, um, specifically, uh, and I'm not going to go back to the old one because there are prophecies that have already been fulfilled, that have to do with Babylon and the Persians in the past.
And you cannot bring Cyrus of Persia back here to the present or with the excuse of a double fulfillment.
We have to limit ourselves to what truly is and is biblical.
Yes.
And we have to keep in mind there are two or three things that I want to point out.
One is that we have to be careful not to fall into what we call newspaper eschatology.
Well, I didn't invent that phrase.
That phrase has already been there.
And this consists of brothers and preachers who see a piece of news and immediately run to find a biblical text to say that this news is the fulfillment of a prophecy.
This has been going on for years now.
I talk about this in other videos here on the channel.
Eh, and it never happens.
For what reason?
Because it was not biblical prophecy.
But eh, and that is seen more within eh the premillennialist, dispensationalist groups.
Ah, uh, some more extreme groups within premillennialism, uh, who are constantly looking for ways to apply some news to some biblical prophecy, how to connect it, and then it doesn't come true and people are disappointed.
So, we have to be careful with that.
Yes.
Ah, as for Israel, ah, you too, those who are with me studying that time, you know what I believe regarding Israel and the church.
And I don't believe that God has separate plans for Israel and the church.
Hm.
I believe that the Lord made the two nations, the two peoples, one, tearing down the wall of division that existed.
And the gospel is preached to Jews and Gentiles in the same way and we can all be saved in the same way and it is through Jesus Christ.
I do n't believe that in prophecy God stops dealing with the church to begin dealing with Israel.
I don't believe that.
That 's dispensationalism.
I am not a dispensationalist out of ignorance.
When I came to Christ in the first years of the gospel, well, of course, that's what they taught us and it's what almost the majority of people believe in Latin America because, well, they haven't given us another option, but studying the biblical text for years and seeing things that truly don't match, eh, I don't believe today that God has one plan for Israel and another plan for the church.
It's the same plan and this changes many things, many things, because when one begins to see the fulfillment of biblical prophecy through that lens, then one begins to see things that are not in the text and begins to force things and begins to apply things.
What does God want Israel to be saved for?
Yes, God wants all Israel to be saved.
Well, God wants the gospel to be applied to all nations, not just Israel.
So this is, yes, we have no problem with that.
I'm jumping the gun on this because some people will immediately jump up and say, "Well, you don't understand that God's plan for Israel is to save it." Yes, he wants them to be saved, of course, but through Jesus Christ, because there is no other way to reach the Father.
Yes, the only way to the Father is Jesus.
Yes.
There is no other mediator between God and men.
There is no other way to reach God than through Jesus Christ.
Yeah?
Now, about the conflict we have before us, what happens?
I don't know what the president is going to decide today or tomorrow.
Some believe that tomorrow will be the decision.
Even today I noticed on a newscast that someone was saying that the fulfillment of Esther and tomorrow, Thursday, is a historic day because there is a fulfillment of a prophecy there and they are immediately applying it again.
So to respond to that and to respond to the emails that come in and tell us, "Brother, there is compliance here, there is no compliance." That's why I came here now and sat down to do this thing that I wasn't planning on doing, and I'm going to try to take as little time as possible to do it.
Yes.
If Israel defeats Iran and destroys the possibility of creating nuclear weapons, that's good news, but it's not necessarily a biblical fulfillment of anything.
I'm going to give you the possibilities, what can happen or what can't happen, I'm going to tell you.
If Israel, if the president of the United States says today, "Well, the United States is going to go to war." For those who are putting the United States into the prophecy, I'm going to tell you something.
The United States is not in Bible prophecy.
The Bible does not mention the United States anywhere.
There are people who say, "Well, there's a tribe of Israel that now lives in the United States.
That can't be verified anywhere." That the United States is an offspring of the British Empire.
The British Empire is not in the Bible either.
And you say, "Well, how does end-time prophecy have to do with us?" Well, in general, as far as the second coming of Christ is concerned, yes, because we are in the world.
I mean, we are a nation within the world and the second coming of Christ applies to all nations.
So, when we see prophecy that applies to all nations, of course we are included there.
Of course we are living beings, we are beings that live on this planet, so we are included there and of course, of course it affects us, of course, but as for the wars, the events, the things that must happen in the Middle East, you don't see any mention of the United States there.
That's not to say that the United States doesn't get involved or that the United States isn't included in supporting or opposing Israel.
We don't know what will happen in the future that is somehow included in the conflict, and there are nations that are also included in the conflict that the Bible doesn't mention, but we have to limit ourselves to what the text mentions.
So what would happen?
Eh, if today the president of the United States, they say that the place where the main laboratory is, where they are preparing this technology for or developing this technology to have nuclear weapons, that laboratory is I do n't know how many meters underground.
I'm not sure what I 've heard, I think it's half a kilometer or something like that underground and these are places with mountains of rocks.
So it would be about half a kilometer under the rock.
Yes, under the rock.
Ah, I heard somewhere that it's 500 m or something like that, which would be, well, 1,000 m would be a kilometer, let's say, right?
We don't use kilometers here either, which is why it might be a little difficult for me to translate it, but oh, anyway , it's very deep underground, under a mountainous area where there's rock, and Israel doesn't have, uh, it does n't have the technology, it doesn't have the bomb necessary to be able to reach that depth and destroy this technology, these laboratories.
Only the United States has the bomb that can do that, which is a bomb that can penetrate the ground and travel underground and destroy everything below.
And that bomb has to be launched with a plane, the B52, which only the United States has.
So, for them to have complete victory and destroy the possibility of Iran having nuclear weapons, the United States may have to get involved.
And the United States does not want to enter a war like the Iraq war or Afghanistan, which were long wars.
The United States has no interest, and the president we have right now has no interest in getting involved in a long war, a war of liberation, a war of regime change.
He has no interest in doing this.
But the United States does have an interest in Iran not having nuclear weapons, because that's a threat not only to Israel, they've also threatened the United States.
They say we are the biggest Satan, right?
They say to us.
They say that Israel is the little Satan and that we are the big Satan.
So, they have also threatened the United States, and if these threats are taken seriously, well, it is in the interest of the United States that they do not develop a nuclear weapon.
It could be entering the United States into war.
You may hear that news later today, or tomorrow, or before the end of this week, because this is a historic moment, beloved, and this is a key moment for what's going to happen from now on in the Middle East.
This could change Middle Eastern politics for many decades, perhaps even many years.
So if they, let's go to the prophecy, if and if Israel defeats Iran and destroys Iran and destroys the possibility of them having nuclear weapons, well, that would be good news in the sense that, well, there's not going to be the concern about nuclear weapons anymore, right?
But that's not necessarily a uh a fulfillment of a biblical prophecy.
For what reason?
Because in the last battle, I'm going to talk to you about this, the last battle they will rise up against Israel.
Not just Iran, but many nations, not just one.
We are going to see that they are plural nations that rise up against Israel and surround the holy city.
Now, and you know by this I'm not a futurist about many things.
For example, Matthew 24.
I believe that Matthew 24, most of what Matthew 24 is, was fulfilled in the first century, in the year 70 AD, with the destruction of the temple and the temple buildings and the city of Jerusalem.
Some apply it to this at this time.
I don't think so, but I believe that the coming of Christ is in the future.
The Lord has not come , he has not returned a second time.
And I believe that in the run-up to the coming of the Lord, things are going to get pretty difficult, and there are going to be wars, and nations are going to surround the city of Jerusalem, and there are going to be some things that happen, including the final battle.
The final battle, the text shows it to us in different ways and we cannot be confused because some separate them and think they are different battles.
For example, dispensational premillennialists place the battle of Gog MG, some of them eh after 1000 years, in other words, eh comes the rapture, 7 years of tribulation, second coming of Christ, then 1000 years, a millennium of peace and then at the end the devil is loosed and that's when those wars happen.
Yeah, I don't see it that way.
I believe that these wars are a prelude to the second coming of Christ, and they are not several wars, but rather one final war before the second coming of Christ.
But the text gives us this war in different places because the Apocalypse is a book of recapitulations, not necessarily a chronological book.
And when you want to interpret it chronologically, you get into trouble because you start seeing, repeating things, you start taking things that already happened and you 're fulfilling them again and in reality the book isn't there.
In fact, you can find at least seven cycles of repetitions there, that is, a book of recapitulations.
And I'm going to get into the text right away.
And I'm going to tell you about that final battle, how it happens so you can see the difference.
No, I'm going to tell you something that could happen.
If Iran is joined by other nations at this point, for example, by, say, China or Russia.
We are talking about those who are in the north and those who are in the east.
The Bible speaks of the Kings of the East.
The Bible talks about this, Gog, Magog, those who are in the north.
Tualar, the descendants of the sons of Noah in the north of Israel, which is exactly in Russia.
Gog is Magog.
Some believe that Magog is Moscow.
I talk about that in other videos that I have here on the channel in detail.
But if you see, what I mean is this.
If you see other nations joining Iran in this, then you do need to pay attention.
If this war continues between Israel and Iran, there really isn't much to look for in terms of biblical fulfillment.
It's going to be just another war of the many wars that have taken place in the last 2,000 or 3,000 years between countries in the Middle East.
It's going to be one more.
But if you see that some other nations are joining Iran and coming against Israel, even though Iran is weakened at this moment, we see that it is weakened, Israel says that they have control of all the air, eh, and their ability to even launch missiles is being destroyed.
Still, if a force is reborn there in the Middle East and some countries join it, and as I said, other nations begin to join and surround Jerusalem, then you pay attention because then we can see some elements there that have to do with the final battle.
I'm not saying that this won't lead to the final battle.
could lead to the final battle if these elements come together.
Yes, but if there remains a war between Iran and Israel, just between the two of them, I don't see any biblical fulfillment in that, honestly.
And if anyone is seeing biblical fulfillment in that, I don't know where they're getting the idea of how they 're connecting it.
And that's the danger of connecting things that aren't in the text.
Come with me to the book of Revelation and we'll go to chapter 16.
I'm going to talk to you about this battle and some elements for you to pay attention to, because if these elements come into play, if these elements come into play, then you do have to pay attention because it could be that we are in the presence of the final battle, which leads us to the second coming of Christ.
And glory to God.
If you see, Lord Jesus, there must be no pain and terrible things must happen, but we wait for the Lord.
Uh, and with that the resurrection will happen.
We see it there in Thessalonians, First Thessalonians, chapter 4, we see the order of things.
The dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are left will be raised up to join the Lord, to receive the Lord and we will always be with him.
Yes.
So there we're going to see resurrection at that second coming and we're going to see the final judgment and then new heavens and a new earth.
That's all sound doctrine.
That's in the future.
Beloved, I do not agree with the total preterists who put these things in the past tense.
That's not biblical.
Eh, within the pillars of orthodoxy there are several schools.
The total preterist is not within the columns.
Yes, partial preterists are within the column.
Uh, as far as the millennium, premillennialists, postmillennialists, amillennialists, the church has had these views for centuries.
Premillennialism is pretty new from the way we see it today, isn't it?
Uh, dispensationalist, uh, which comes from Darby and then what Scofield did with the annotations that Scofield made to the Bible and the editions that we have with the Scofield Scofield commentary.
There we see dispensationalism, but for centuries the church, the church fathers, the church theologians, the reformers had other positions.
The amillennial tendency, the postmillennial tendency, but amillennialism that has been stronger for centuries.
You cannot attack each other, we cannot attack each other, beloved, because we have any differences on those things, because we all agree that the Lord is coming a second time, we all agree on the resurrection, we all agree that there is a final judgment, and we all agree that we will live in new heavens and a new earth forever, which is the eternal state.
Say amen if you agree with me on that.
Yes, but I think so .
Now let's go to the text and if you come with me here, I'm in Revelation or the book of revelations ah eh chapter 16 verse 12 and notice here that it speaks of the sixth angel and this tells us that the battles are united.
In other words, you're going to see elements here that you see, for example, when we get into Revelation 20 or Revelation 9 itself, going back, eh, you're going to realize that there are elements here that are repeated.
Yes, you have to pay attention to these elements because this tells you whether a war is going to end up being that final war or not.
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates.
Note here the Euphrates River which is mentioned in the creation at the time of this final battle.
Hey, you're going to see something very important here, aren't you?
The Euphrates River and its water dried up.
There are people who have been saying, there are scientists who have been saying how the water levels in the Euphrates have dropped to the point where some places are almost dry.
Hey, some people say, "The Euphrates is already dry." If this is so, well, the Bible says that the great river Euphrates says that its water dried up so that the way would be prepared for the kings of the east.
and the water of the river Ephrates has already dried up, then the way for the kings of the east is already prepared.
Who are the kings of the east?
This is very important.
All those east of Israel, could the Persians be part of this?
Yes.
And I explain this in another video where I talk specifically about this.
You can find it here on the channel.
eh the Persians or other nations that are on that side as far as China would be.
And why China?
Because the Bible speaks of an army of millions of soldiers, 200 million, and only China at this time is capable of having an army of 200 million.
There is no other country right now that has that kind of army.
Are you following me?
So, China could be included in the Three Wise Men.
That's why I'm telling you, if China joins forces with Iran and they are friends and have had an arms deal, Iran also has an arms deal with Russia.
So if they come to support Iran, then you have to pay attention.
If not, if it remains between Iran and Israel, then, well, not yet.
But well, it says here so that the way would be prepared for the kings of the east.
So if the Euphrates River is drying up, the way is already prepared for the kings of the East.
If it hasn't dried completely, well, you pay attention because it's going to dry.
Of course, this can miraculously happen in one day.
A river can dry up in one day .
Yes.
Now verse 13 says, "And I saw come out of the dragon's mouth." Note the figures.
This is what we call apocalyptic language.
Yeah.
Uh, this is apocalyptic literature.
So you know dragons don't exist.
There may have been some kind of flying dinosaur at one time that looked very similar, but that cannot be established.
And we see a mythological figure, a figure of dreams, of imaginations of the human mind that does appear in various cultures, but we know that the Bible makes reference to the dragon, sometimes referring to Satan himself.
Yes.
And it says here, "I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
" That's weird, right?
For they are spirits of demons performing signs and going out to the kings of the earth.
Note here the kings of the earth.
There is a presence of nations here.
Yes, presence of nations.
Hey, the kings of the earth.
Here it envelops nations throughout the world.
So that there is no doubt, it says here, all over the world.
I know this, this is the prophecy that encompasses the entire world.
As I told you before, the United States is not mentioned in the prophecy, but when the prophecy encompasses the entire world, it affects the entire world.
I told you before.
He says, but he says here in all the world, yes, the kings of the earth in all the world to gather them to battle.
of that great day.
So, gather them and it's a key word here, gather them, gather them to the battle of that great day.
Gather them to battle.
In other words, notice what the text says here.
It says here, look where it starts.
It says, "I saw three unclean spirits come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, spirits of demons performing miracles, performing signs and going out to the kings of the earth and the whole world to gather them together for the great battle, or to the battle of that great day." Now, listen carefully to this.
It means this is, this is demonic, this is diabolical, these are demons, right?
enlisting nations against Israel, a demonic hatred.
The spirit of disobedience that is now operating in the children of disobedience is listening to me here.
The spirit that now operates in the children of disobedience, beloved, yes?
Ah, that great day is said of the almighty God.
And when the Bible talks about that great day or the great day or the great day of the Lord or the great day of Jehovah, you know that it's referring to that, to that end, to that, to that day, to the second coming of Christ, because that is the culmination of this, right?
of the almighty God.
Behold, I come as it is said, like a thief, blessed is he who watches and keeps his clothes so that he does not walk naked and they see his shame.
Verse 16 and that's what I'm getting at.
And he gathered him to the place which in Hebrew is called Armedon, which is in the valley of Megiddo.
I think in Spanish it would be called Mejido.
Ah.
The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne room, saying, "It is done." Yes.
So, here we see a battle that is the Battle of Armageddon, but we are going to see that Battle of Armageddon from another angle in other places in the apocalyptic text.
Yes.
Oh, and if you come, uh, for example, to come with me to hm reveal to Revelation 20, come with me here.
Yes.
Ah, actually, you know?
I'm going to before we go there we're going to Remember I mentioned the sixth angel to you.
Look, we're going to do something here.
We're talking about the sixth angel, right?
He realized that he is talking about the sixth angel.
Yes.
Ah.
Note here so you can see that the element is repeated.
Yes.
The sixth says here the sixth angel, right?
The sixth angel.
Yes, it is an element.
Now come here to chapter 9 and then I'm going to go to 20, but first to the nu.
It says here in verse 14, saying to the sixth angel, do you remember?
To the sixth angel.
So you mean, chapter 9, uh, chapter 9 of Revelation is telling us something that we saw in chapter 16.
Are you following me here?
And that's what I tell you when I tell you that the Apocalypse is a book of recapitulations, we see things repeated.
That is, it says here in verse 14 of chapter 9, "Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, loose the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphratis." I dedicate an entire video, an entire study to these four angels.
You can find it here on the channel.
I talk there about who these four angels are and all that in detail.
I'm not talking about that today, but it says here, "Release the four angels." These four angels or four fallen angels, tied next to the great river Euphrates.
There in that study, I take you back to the days of Noah, beloved.
And when the sons of God came to the daughters of men and there the giants were born and well, all that.
And I have a book out there that you can get called Giants and Fallen Angels.
And I also have the Bible studies with the free study guides that you can find out there.
I'm going to leave all of that in the description below for you to see and go and study.
Yes.
But I'll give you the details there.
Again you see here what the sixth angel saw.
He saw the mention of the sixth angel that the same angel says.
And here you see the great river Euphrates again.
And we know that the prophecy says that when the great, uh, great Euphrates River dries up, the way is prepared for the kings of the east, those who are to the east of Israel.
And that could be the Persians and it could be other nations from the Middle East.
Now it says here, "And including uh 200 uh an army of 200 uh 200 million, which would be China in this case, and the four angels who were prepared for the hour, day, month and year were released in order to kill the third part of men." This is something that happens, beloved, in that time of the end, which may be very close already.
And verse 16 says, "And the number of the armies," it says, "The number of the armies of the horsemen was 200 million." 200 million.
I heard his number.
So, in those 200 million, eh, well, in this case they wouldn't come on horseback again we're seeing the language of that first century, eh, they could come in war tanks.
I don't know, I really don't know, but it does talk about the number.
An army of 200 million.
Yes.
And here he gives details again in that apocalyptic language and you have to pay attention because the apocalyptic language, come with me in the meantime to Revelation 20, I won't be much longer, by the way.
Ah, you have to pay attention to the apocalyptic language because there are descriptions, details, and that doesn't mean that this is all symbolic.
The event is literal, but it's wrapped in a language of symbolism, figures, poems, poetry, and you have to pay attention to that.
Yeah?
Now, that's not to say that the event isn't literal.
These are, this is an event that is really going to happen and we have plenty of evidence, plenty of proof for that.
Chapter 20, verse 7 says, "When the 1000 years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog." But you say, "Well, beloved, that's after the millennium." Yes, for premillennialists, that's why I told you before, for the premillennialist this occurs 1000 years later, but eh, we have proven time and again in Bible study in details that you can find here on the channel, that eh, that eh, the meaning of what 1000 years are, which is a long period of time, but not necessarily 1000 literal years.
And when the kingdom, the millennial reign of Christ was installed and the devil has been bound so as not to deceive the nations.
That doesn't mean completely bound, but bound so as not to deceive the nations, so that the gospel can run and be spread during this stage, but then released before the battle.
For the amillennialist, this is about to be fulfilled, if not already in progress .
In other words, we have lived within what is this stage of the kingdom or the inaugurated kingdom that was Jesus said in his days, "The kingdom is already among you or before any of those who are here die will see this.
The Lord affirmed that the kingdom was coming into operation in his days.
And if we have been in the kingdom, the Bible says that we have been transferred from darkness to the kingdom of his beloved son.
Just look.
It means that if we were transferred from darkness to the kingdom of his beloved son, now we are in the kingdom of his beloved son.
Yes.
Uh, an unshakable kingdom.
Paul says, "Those who work with me in the kingdom, we are right now in the kingdom, the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God is installed, Jesus Christ reigning from the throne at the right hand of the Father." I talk about that here a lot, you can find it out there, but that's not what I 'm talking about today.
I tell you this so there is no confusion, because this fulfillment is at the door and no 1,000 years later, but the devil was unleashed in the time before the coming of Christ.
In a way, demons come out to deceive the nations to unite them for battle.
And look with me at the language here.
It says Gog and Magog, and I'll talk about it in another study.
Who exactly are Gog and Magog?
In order to bring it together, but I want to focus on this with you here.
Bringing it together, remember we saw it earlier in the other text, they are the same elements for the battle.
Again, the same language that we saw earlier.
Gathering them for battle is the same thing that we saw earlier.
It means that Armageddon, the battle of Armageddon, and the battle of Gog and Magog descending upon Israel is the same.
It 's the same battle.
It's one battle.
Say it with me.
One battle.
It's the final battle.
And after that, there are no more battles.
The Lord comes, the resurrection comes, the second coming of Christ.
And what happens?
uh, final judgment and new heavens and a new earth.
It means that when the Lord returns, Beloved, we are going to enter that eternal state immediately as soon as these things happen.
Glory to God.
Because that is our hope.
The number of which is like the sand of the sea.
And here we see that they are many peoples.
They are nations that rise up against the holy city.
Nations, not just one nation.
This goes to what I said before.
If there is a war between Israel and Iran and that is the only war you see, it doesn't go any further.
But if nations from the north unite, Gog Magog is to the north of Israel and nations to the east of Israel in the east, then pay attention.
Yes.
The number of which is like the sand of the sea.
And they went up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city.
Here is what the prophecy says, the beloved city, which is present-day Jerusalem.
And you see what happens, it says, "And fire came down from God out of heaven and consumed them." And this is the final judgment, now.
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur Where the beast was, he says, there were the beast and the false prophet in the past, by the way.
And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Beloved, this is, this is the end.
This is the end.
Yes.
How close are we to this?
I don't know.
I don't dare say.
Every time someone sets dates, they get into trouble.
Then they ask for forgiveness and keep setting dates.
The other time someone tells me, "Preacher so-and-so, because they send me, look, beloved, I don't go around looking for preachers, nor do I, I don't have time to watch videos, honestly, but I follow one or another person that I respect, and you know who they are." But every once in a while someone sends me, writes to me, and says, "Brother Perez, brother so-and-so or preacher so-and-so or pastor so-and-so came out and said this date, but he was wrong and asked for forgiveness, but now he's setting dates again." And that's what happens, Beloved, you are wrong.
And that is a serious error because look, sects have come out of there, from people setting dates, and truly no one knows the day and hour.
However you apply that text, in any context, no one knows.
We do not know when the Lord returns.
We do not know when these things will be.
However, when we see the signs, we can be prepared to expect.
Our hope grows because we know the day is approaching.
How many say glory to Jesus?
What happens from there?
Well, in the text you realize that the judgment of the great white throne is coming.
And I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away, and no place was found for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God.
And the books were opened.
And another book was opened, which is the book of life.
Yes.
And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
You realize that this is the judgment of all the enemies of God, and they are judged according to their works because everyone will give an account, everyone will give an account of what they did while in the body, including us believers at the great tribunal.
No, I'm not going to talk now about the difference between the judgment seat of Christ and the Great White Throne.
I'm talking about the clock, the time of things that are being fulfilled before our eyes.
I mean, pay attention to what is happening today, this day, tomorrow.
Pay attention to the announcements and pay attention if nations begin to join Iran, because that is a key sign that tells us exactly what the possibilities are that we are approaching that great battle.
Yes, I think this can help you and be of explanation.
Anyway, here I am going to leave you a list of Bible studies that have to do with prophecy, beloved.
And if you have not subscribed to the channel, remember to do so here.
We continue.
Blessings.
