Sam Rohrer:

Hello and welcome to this Thursday edition of Stand In the Gap Today. Now today along with returning guest, Ted Vanlandeghem, who’s the director of Synagogue and church engagement with the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, and he’s also a former US Air Force individual there for 26 years serving also for a time at the White House in the White House Communications Agency during the George W Bush’s term. Together he and I are going to look further into the historic meetings that are literally captivating headline news of this week, the first being the Trump Gaza Peace Plan held on Monday and the Tuesday meeting of all one, two, and three and four Star Generals in Quantico, Virginia. A lot of information out there about both of these, we’re going to take our approach on it here today. Now in addition, we’re also going to include or conclude actually in segment four, a focus on Israel.

As my guess, Ted Vanlandeghem and I discussed the significance of the 10 days of awe leading up to today, which is Yom Kippur. Now without doubt, we continue into the most momentous days, I think certainly of this 21st century and likely, depending how you look at it, the most momentous time perhaps since Christ first coming we’re in those kinds of eventful days. The best descriptive title I could think of to frame our conversation today is this Promised Peace but War at the Door. And with that, I welcome to the program right now. Ted. Ted, thanks for being back with me.

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Thanks, Sam. Thanks for having me back.

Sam Rohrer:

Ted, like me, you and I we’re following the events of the day and with God’s help, I know you prayed regularly for it and I do too, that the Lord would give us an ability to discern truth from error, that which is real from deception and to with wisdom and discernment. Note what we need to observe but not get caught up in what I’m going to say is the demonic distractions that scripture says will be a leading mark of our times. Now that being said, I’m just going to start broadly and then we’ll kind of narrow down into the program. But from your perspective, from a 10,000 foot level, so to speak, what are the top three or four or five, whatever most significant, and I’m going to say globally, observable signs of the times as scripture would define them that you are watching unfold in these days. And then briefly describe them, why each of those are being tracked by you.

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Sure. Well, Sam, there are a number of what I call prophetic indicators or signs of the times that are currently unfolding before our eyes. Sam, the implementation of digital ID in the UK by the Leftist Keir Starmer government. This is like pouring fuel on the fire in the UK and the UK is really on the brink of Civil War and Sam, there’s a number of other countries that are moving towards the implementation of digital id, Canada, Germany, India, Ukraine, Denmark, Australia, Singapore and Estonia, just to name a few. There’s also this move or push towards digital currencies and key to having a digital currency. And mark of the beast system is having a digital id. Another thing is this move towards geofencing or tracking our every move by the government. And really Sam, this is the foundation, the technology for the mark of the beast.

It’s already here. There’s moves by a number of nations in the UN to recognize a Palestinian state. And even during this UN general assembly, they walked out on the Netanyahu speech in the UN General Assembly. There’s a demographic shift away from support from Israel in the US and around the world. There’s unprecedented threats against the USA remaining, the world’s dominant superpower, military threats from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, the BRICS Alliance and the warfare of the US dollar and the position of the US as the economic superpower and the waning influence of the church, the growing popularity of socialism and Marxism. This week today on Fox News, they had a study, 49% of millennial and Gen Z in the US hold a positive view of socialism and Marxism and internal threats from polarization and sleeper cells and the possibility of civil war here in the us. And the last thing I would say, Sam, are the quiet moves by Erdogan and Turkey to rebirth the Ottoman Tur empire.

Sam Rohrer:

Those are all excellent and ladies and gentlemen, I’m going go over them again. I hope you were listening and we’re not going to get into all of those. We’re going to further pursue a couple of those that were mentioned, but these are big ones. Okay, Ted, I happen to agree with that. I didn’t know for sure what all you were going to say on that, but those are notable. Let’s go here in the last couple of minutes. Now you have a military background, Ted, you’ve worked in White House communications under former US president. You’re also committed though to the authority of scripture and you understand biblical prophecy now from a Prophetical perspective as it would relate to Israel. What are the top one or two most significant developments that you are observing today and that you are watching? And you may have already referred to a couple of those, but build that out just a bit if you could.

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Well, Sam, there’s so many items here that are prophetic indicators relating to Israel, but my top two number one would be the growing movement within Israel to bring about a third temple, Sam. Over the last decade, there’s been this quiet but concerted effort to prepare for a third temple. The Israelis, they have identified and trained the priest of the colony for the third temple at the third temple school in Mi Bay year ago. They’ve identified a coha or high priest, they built an altar for the third temple. They’ve acquired red heifers for the third temple and did a sacrifice dry run in July of this year. They have reformed the Sanhedrin, they’ve recreated the biblical harp, they’ve reopened the pilgrim highway from the pool of Siloam to the southern stairs of the temple. A key thing for the third temple. They’ve rediscovered the blue dye for the high priestly garments. They’ve rediscovered the crimson dye for the temple. They’ve refashioned all the implements and they’ve done dry runs for all the sacrifices in temple services. And there’s been many more. There’s been a move to declare an annex, declare full sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, which is called the West Bank. And so these are my top two things that I’m seeing within Israel right now.

Sam Rohrer:

Alright, now that’s significant. We have just about a half a minute or so left here. What is it from the standpoint, is there not just a move inside Israel to rebuild the temple, but is there a move within Israel you’re seeing of people actually beginning to talk about Messiah?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

There is a huge messianic expectancy within Israel and just in the last decades, Sam, there’s been an increased worldwide of Jewish people who’ve come to know Messiah by about 800,000. So that’s a huge demographic jump in Jewish people worldwide who are now open to the Messiah. Jerusalem post ran an article a few years ago that said one in five Jewish millennials now consider that Yeshua Jesus may be in fact be the Messiah that made the front page of the Jerusalem post.

Sam Rohrer:

And I can imagine that, and that would put some concern in some Israeli leadership I would assume. But that is good news for those of us who are looking at what’s happening through the lens of scripture. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, stay with us. Ted Vanlandeghem is my guest today. Our theme is this Promise to peace but war at the Door. I’m going to get some comments from Ted about the recent generals meeting in Quantico, so stay tuned to this. We’ll be back in just a moment if you’re just joining us today. Thank you so much. We’re about ready to go into our second segment again. Our theme today is this promised piece, but War at the Door. And we’re going to start here in this segment. My guest is Mr. Ted Vanlandeghem, he’s been with me before a number of times. He’s the director of synagogue and church engagement with the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, but he also wears a hat as a former military guy in the Air Force for 26 years and White House Communications Agency under George W. Bush and these things that were kind of pulling together here, but the meeting in Quantico, we all are aware of it.

Lots of things, lots of commentary being said about it. Some true, some not true. But without a doubt the meeting was historic because it had never happened like that before. But anytime we’re all one, two, and three and four star generals from around the world summoned for a meeting in a singular location. And it’s engendered extraordinary comment and speculation I would say as to why it was done and why such a gathering of our entire military leadership structure was assembled in one place at one time, that that was even done. That’s a big question. But the fact that this meeting was held with some of what was communicated publicly, because I’m saying we don’t necessarily know all that was communicated, but what was publicly communicated does raise some need for further evaluation, which we’re going to try and do in this segment. For instance, from a public imaging perspective, I’ve noticed that there are two, I’m going to say opposing narratives.

One narrative is that of great rejoicing, a sense of patriotism with some that I have seen actually saying, giving thanks to God for what they view as a long overdue emphasis on soldiers just being soldiers fit and not fat, strong and not weak. But then there’s another contrasting narrative that shouts almost the opposite, unconstitutional, threatening and unpatriotic in the true sense. And that narrative arises out of statements and orders from the president and secretary Hegseth to the military leaders that fighting enemies overseas is soon to include fighting on the streets of America using our quote big cities as training grounds for our military as our military learn to fight enemies from within on our own soil. And it is mind bending frankly for me to consider these two extremes as describing and coming from the very same gathering. Now that being the case, those are my commentary, Ted, in these days when politics is run by theater and it is, it just has been for a long time shaped and geared to social media, designed to manipulate the minds of the masses. It is increasingly difficult to decipher the true from the fake. So I’m going to ask you here to get us going. What is your take on this meeting I just described with the generals and out of curiosity, what would be your takeaway narrative?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Well, Sam, like you, I observed that this meeting was unprecedented in US military history. Really, I could find no other time when a meeting of this sort had occurred. And I don’t think this meeting was just about fitness standards, fat generals or reviving the warrior ethos, Sam. The travel and TDY costs to convene a meeting of this sort were huge. And typically direction about fitness standards reductions in force warrior or ethos would be communicated regularly via email policy, memorandums, videos, cbts, computer-based trainings and briefings at local commanders’ calls in all hands meetings. Sam, my big takeaway was the comments about turning our military might inward to the continental United States and deploying assets to major cities across the nation to address threats within. There’s a law called posse com, which limits the use of federal forces within the continental United States. Typically that duty would fall to the state governors and the National Guard and local law enforcement.

So this is an unprecedented statement and to me this is a huge statement and really why the meeting was likely called Sam just days before this unprecedented meeting on the first day of the UN General assembly report broke about the discovery of a covert encrypted communications network. This network had a capability, Sam, to knock out communications in all of New York City knockout communications in a 35 mile radius around New York City, create denial of service texts to every cell phone in the United States within 12 minutes, disrupt key essential government communications for the US and all the world leaders gathered at the UN General Assembly. Sam, this network had a hundred thousand cell phone sims associated with it and a number of which were connected to known terrorists on the terror watch list, known cartel members, known government agents belonging to adversarial nations. Sam, I believe this was one of the key reasons for this unprecedented meeting in Quantico because the unprecedented threat that lives within our nation’s borders.

Sam Rohrer:

All right, and that’ll just take me into the next question and that is this, there was a theater. I mean from that perspective, these events, we’ve gone so much Ted. I mean my background’s marketing, I was in office, you were in the military, you were in communications, but we all know that as a world, as digital media has become placed in the hands of every person we know that media is shaping the of people, graphics created on the spot, statements being made. They mean the president is the biggest troller of people that we’ve ever seen. I mean this is happening and therefore everything that’s done literally by government is done from a perspective of how will people perceive it and how can we shape what is being done to communicate our perspective and not the other. So that being the case, what we heard about fat or fit, not fat soldiers being soldiers, that kind of thing. That’s one thing. And that sounds patriotic in some respects, but what you just said would indicate that perhaps there’s some other reason. Is there any reason to believe that there was a message that was not made for a public consumption that actually was communicated to at least some of these generals? Do we know?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Yeah, Sam, I really feel like there was an underneath message here and we don’t know what was briefed securely that wasn’t open to the public. But Sam, I think the sleeper cell threat is so much bigger than any of us could possibly imagine. This one cell network that had a hundred thousand sims associated with it, allowed all of these people to communicate securely on an encrypted network. The disastrous Biden and open borders policy that allowed thousands of terrorists, hostile foreign government operatives and agents and cartel members to flood into our country and spread throughout every city saying the threats of sabotage to our critical infrastructure, including our power grid and including nuclear power plants, water supply, airports, telecommunications infrastructure, military installations through the possibility of drone attacks and infiltrations of base perimeters, railways and bridges. All of these are huge and I can’t say that they can be overstated and I think that that’s a big part of the messaging that I received from this.

Sam Rohrer:

And I have wondered that and myself because also last week at the end of the week, there were a number of releases and warnings that went out from Homeland Security and all that. And it was intended hopefully to get into the hands of pastors and churches and gatherings because of these, what they were saying, anticipated orchestrated sleeper cell activation. That would be a simultaneous action. So that feeds into what you were saying in which what was found in New York City was just one piece. So let’s let that be there. We could go much further, but let me come back and ask you this question as we wrap up this segment. And that is this, as a former military man Ted, and in talking with other military guys who I’m sure you have done, what do you think was the takeaway of the generals present at the Tuesday meeting? In other words, are they more likely to understand and execute the oath they took with greater passion, have greater respect for the current secretary and commander in chief or less? How do you think they left? What did they left thinking?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Well, I think for some of them, yes, they’re more motivated, but I think for a big segment of the audience, the dressing down publicly in one sense was also unprecedented of senior leaders that were gathered. I’ve never seen anything like that in my 26 years in the military. And Sam, I think President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are on one point trying to clean house in the DOD or the Department of War to get rid of generals, senior civilian leaders and SES members of the senior executive service, civil service personnel and intelligence operators who hold to woke and leftist ideology. And many of these were planted into the DOD infrastructure during the Obama and Biden years. Additionally, they are ridding the service of leaders and members who can’t or won’t adhere to the fitness standards and grooming standards. This is a necessary step to secure our national security and clearing out those who hold dangerous ideologies is a huge priority to secure our national security. And for those who hold to those ideologies, this was addressing down and a warning and a moment for them to make their decision to get on board or get out.

Sam Rohrer:

And what you’re describing there, that’s a good thing. And that leads to the one narrative that it was a great meeting. The other side though, of saying that we’re going to, and I’m going to say this unconstitutionally by every means, saying that we’re going to use the military on the streets of America even though there is enemy within this is that dichotomy, Ted, that I’m saying it’s very hard to reconcile and cost a lot of consternation from those who were there. So ladies and gentlemen, see what I’m saying? You can see very easily what we’re just talking about and that is why grave and great discernment is needed as we analyze that, which we see because there’s a lot behind the scenes that we don’t see. Now that being the case, we’ll come back and we’re going to talk a little bit about the president’s peace plan because that also has a great deal of implications.

Alright, Ted, by the way ladies and gentlemen, if you want to know more about my guest Ted Vanden legumes involvement with the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, because he’s really representing two things today that and more of his military hat that’s on, but they have a website@mja.org, mj aa.org. So that’s something that you may be interested in seeing. Now, Ted, back on this. So Rick, they said we’re going to deal with two of the leading issues dominating the news, frankly, not just in America here but this next wing around the world or two. One was the meeting of the generals we just went through. The other is Donald Trump, the President Trump’s Gaza peace proposal, which was on Tuesday because in that there were some remarkable comments made by the president that have produced, I’m going to say widespread commentary literally from all sides. Now that was a 21 point proposal and it includes some very key positions.

So ladies and gentlemen, in case you probably have not seen this, it took me a little while just to find it myself, but let me just read just a couple of the items and then I’m going to ask Ted about his thoughts about that. But here’s one of them. The piece proposal and what I’m going to read here are pieces directly out of the written proposal from the White House, although I’ve left out portions just so you know, but this is what it says. One of them was Hamas must agree to return all hostages once returned. Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence decommissioned their weapons, they will be given amnesty and those who wish to leave Gaza will be given safe passage to receiving countries. Now that’s right off of there. Here’s another little section, a new board of Peace headed and chaired by Donald Trump with other members from heads of State, including Tony Blair from the United Kingdom.

And it goes on and says, until such time as the pa, Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program and it goes on and says and then takes back control of the gossip. Now the goal there is that the Palestinian authority, not Hamas, will end up controlling the ga. Alright, now here’s another one. The US working with Arab partners will provide an international security force to maintain peace in the ga. Now to me what that means is US soldiers on the ground in the Middle East there. Fourth, another one. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence. Alright, there’s a lot loaded in that one as well. Here’s another one. While Gaza redevelopment advances and the Palestinian Authority Program carried out the pathway to Palestinian statehood will continue and it says which we recognize. So that’s important to understand that a two-state solution is still there on the table.

And then this another part of it, the US will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peace. Alright, now, Ted, there are others I could have put out there, but those are ones that kind of stood out to me, I thought were significant. But numerous provisions of the peace proposal are problematic, some of which I included there, including the president’s continued support for a Palestinian state as that one point I just read. And this new board of peace where he will chair it for the purpose of bringing about peace in the Middle East and separate from that. But in the public meeting there in the White House, he used the term this will bring peace to the Middle East. And then these were his exact words in eternal peace that caught my eyes and my ears. What are your thoughts about what we know about this peace proposal?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Well, Sam, there’s some troubling positions that the Trump administration has taken here. There are numerous, as you stated, problematic areas with this 20 or 21 point piece plan in my mind. And we could take an entire week of programs just to talk about all of these items that are listed here. But just a couple of these that you mentioned of this plan really stand out to me, Sam. First of all, the promise of amnesty to members of Hamas who pledge to lay down their weapons. This is a false hope and a fool’s errand in my mind. It’s not only permissible, but it’s highly valued to lie to your enemies in Islam. Hamas’ ideology will live on and there’ll be another war in the future as soon as they re-arm and they will and they will re-arm and reorganize rapidly. Sam, if you go back to 2005, Israel unilaterally gave up the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians as a unilateral gesture of peace.

And what they got in return was 500,000 rockets and mortars fired into Israel all the way between that time and October 7th, 2023 and just countless terror incursions across the border, Sam, the condition that 250 life sentence, senior Hamas murderers and terror operatives would be released along with 1700 other Hamas foot soldiers in exchange for the remaining Israeli hostages in their bodies. And this would ensure that Hamas would reform and reassert itself and reassert itself quickly trump’s board of peace in the statement about eternal peace, really this promise of eternal peace smack of the prophetic to me, Sam, it makes me think of that phrase, peace. Peace. But there is no peace. The antichrist will promise peace, but the only agent of eternal peace in the land of Israel or anywhere else on this planet is Yeshua Jesus himself. But including globalists like Tony Blair on this board of peace for these are things that really give me precursors of the antichrist vibes when I read these things.

Sam Rohrer:

Well, you know what? We can’t get into all of it right now, but in my further investigation I was looking at that this peace proposal though the president claimed it as his own officially was initiated and put together based on an oval office meeting in August. So not long ago. And in that meeting was Jared Kushner, who was the crafter of this, and Tony Blair, interestingly enough, former UK Prime Minister, as you tell him, globalist Tony Blair. They sat down to discuss this Israeli official, Ron Dermer was also there as well as Steve Whitkoff was involved in this. But these guys came up with this idea, then comes in the United Nations plan of a two-state solution and not the whole world body except for a few sign on for that. And then this proposal kind of comes around in many respects as I look at it, Ted actually incorporates some significant elements of the UN proposal, but makes it look different. In effect says they’re not going to sign on to a two-state solution, but in the agreement itself, it recognizes a two-state solution. This kind of stuff is really why I’m saying it’s challenging to know where the truth is.

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Yeah, a hundred percent.

Sam Rohrer:

Alright, that goes my thoughts and follow up to what you said, but let’s go here. And that is this, when the priest proposal was put out there, the president said all of the Arab neighbors, all of the Muslim labors neighbors had already signed on and agreed Israel had agreed and he had Benjamin Netanya who apologized to Qatar for Israel trying to take out some of the Hamas leaders. And that was an interesting thing. But then it came down to, alright, now Hamas, it’s up to you. I’m going to give you two or three days to agree. Here’s the question. Do you think Hamas will agree to the terms of this?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Well, Sam, possibly, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they do. It’s really to their benefit, agree in Word, but not in action. Otherwise, Israel will finish obliterating their infrastructure and their weapons caches and the remnants throughout Gaza and Sam, I don’t want to see war continue. I don’t think anybody does. But Netanyahu understands. Something that I think we’ve seem to forgot here in the US is the need to utterly defeat your enemies. The need to utterly defeat Hamas and the ideology that lies below that. And in the West we seem to lost our stomachs for unconditional surrender and unconditional victory that we once held all the way back in World War ii.

Sam Rohrer:

Alright, so in other words, well today is Thursday when we’re doing this program. The challenge was issued on Tuesday. They’ve got a couple of days yet Hamas does, but based on Islamic ideology. And I thought it was interesting you brought that up because for them it is morally to the extent that the Quran they view as a moral guide. The Quran and Islamic policy would encourage them to lie to your enemies when it benefits you. It almost is like you’re saying that the provisions of this actually encourages them to lie to live another day, doesn’t it?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Exactly.

Sam Rohrer:

All right, ladies and gentlemen, you get the point. These are days when we say requires great wisdom and discernment, really truly outside the knowledge of God’s word, which tells us about how these end days events will unfold. And particularly as it relates to the Middle East and in Israel and these days of deception in which we live in the signs that things are happening that are indicative of biblical prophecy that Ted mentioned, some of those in the first segment. All of these things are necessary for us as believers, God-fearing people to really understand what’s going on. But we can, as long as we keep looking through this lens and when we come back, we’re going to go to Israel, focus on what is happening there in the Yom Kippur, which actually is today.

Well, as we go into our final segment, again, if you’ve been with us from the beginning, thank you so much. If you joined us partway through and you did not catch all the program, you can go back and pick it up and I’d encourage you to do that on our website. Stand in the gap radio.com or on our app, it’s free. Just download it. Android or your iPhone, stand in the gap. Just go to your store and put that in because once you do that, then you can access the daily programs, our weekend programs, the minute program, which was played twice in the middle of this program here in every program, our TV programs, you can donate and contribute. You can find a lot of additional resources. You can search by speaker, by guest on this program or by theme. All of those things are available there on that app.

And it’s easy when you do that. If you like a program and hopefully you do and like them all that, it’s easy, very, very easy to just quickly take and forward it to a friend and they can just open it right up and listen or watch accordingly. And I encourage you to do that. It would be so helpful to other people. And I think that’s the goal, communication of the truth and as well that I would encourage you to pray for us regularly. It’s very, very important in these days when deception is so dominant and we also need your financial help just the way it is. It needs money to function. And so your participation would help to encourage the communication of truth. I would just ask you that. Okay, Ted, let’s get into this Now as we conclude, there’s something about the timing. I think of this piece proposal that we just talked about, the breadth of its involvement because it involves nearly every Arab and Muslim nation.

It’s a focus on political peace, which the United Nations when they passed today said a political peace is only thing that’s possible. The president in what he said in the 21 points talks about a political peace agreement, and there’s also an economic development component, which the President and Jared Kushner are involved. That’s another issue with the Arab nations, including Iran. And the President specifically mentioned about bringing in Iran in addition to the fact that the President claimed that this will bring about an eternal peace to the Middle East, which as you said, which I’ve said many times we know, is not for any man to deliver because they cannot. Only Jesus Christ when he returns and sets up the millennial kingdom will do that. So there’s a lot of things to think about on this, but an accompanying security agreement, also what you do, we didn’t mention here, was signed by the president and form an executive order with Qatar the same day where the United States has given complete military assistance.

It was written like a treaty, which is very problematic, but it was made with Qatar, which has been a funder of terrorism. They’ve been a protector of Hamas. There’s a lot of things involved in this. So anyways, I don’t think all these things are just coincidental, but that’d been the case. Let’s go to the timing matter because today is Yom Kippur on a previous program you walked through the fall feasts, feast of Trumpets, 10 Days of Awe concluding here in the Yom Kippur, and then one to follow after that. But what’s the significance of these high holy days in which we’re involved in? Do you think there might be a connection between them and the priest proposal and perhaps war that’s imminent between amass I ran US and Israel? All of that’s swirling in the pot right now. Are you there, Ted? Ted, are you on mute? Did you mute yourself?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Can you hear me now?

Sam Rohrer:

There you go. Go ahead. Yes, go ahead.

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Alright, sorry about that. Well, Sam, so much has occurred in the prophetic window of this year’s fall feasts from Rosh Hashanah, the Yom Kippur in the 10 days of all that occurred between them, Sam, as you, and many of the listeners on this program already know that the biblical holidays are prophetic appointments, point to the future coming in times events that will be fulfilled in Christ’s return in the coming seven year tribulation. Right now, this past 10 days, we’ve seen so many things take place. We’ve seen dramatic falloff of support for Israel in the United States. This week. A New York Times article highlighted a recent survey that support for Israel and the US had fallen 10% since 2022. Support for Israel was around 43%. In the same time, evangelical and conservative support had fallen 10%. Sam, the most shocking thing to me was that support for the Palestinians was now 2% higher than for Israel.

For the first time in US history, Sam, the promise of Genesis 12, three, I’ll bless those who bless you and curse. Those who curse you was given to Abraham between the Mount of Blessing and cursing at Zeum, the gateway into the promised land, and has always been in effect since that moment, like gravity. It’s an undeniable force, not contingent on whether Israel had righteous leaders or evil leaders, not contingent on whether Israel as a nation was following their God or not, but our God is a promise keeping God. And he promised to bring us back, to remove our idols, give us a new heart, fill us with his spirit, and restore us to our God and to be a witness to the nations. In the same time period, Sam the UN moved against Israel. They had a resolution endorsing a two-state solution. 142 nations voted in favor of this.

10 countries voted against it, and there were 12 countries that abstained at the same time. Sam the uk, Australia, Canada and Portugal fully recognized the Palestinian state at this UN general Assembly. And they were preceded by Spain, France, Ireland, and Norway. Sam Spain sent a military ship to escort a flotilla of ships with EU socialists and Turkish sponsors to break Israel’s military blockade of Ganza. Spain canceled billions of military arms, deals with Israel, and Trump stated in a meeting from the Oval Office that he would not allow the annexation of Judea and Samaria. The heartland of Israel were 80% of the Bible takes place and Trump really forcing Netanyahu’s hand to apologize to Qatar for the airstrike, targeting the Hamas terrorists and Qatar and the problematic 20 point piece plan. And also in this window, the snapback sanctions on Iran and the real possibility of another round of conflict between Israel and Iran. All of these, Sam, shout out loud that Yeshua, Jesus Christ is coming soon. And are you ready for that?

Sam Rohrer:

Well, I’m ready for that. I know you’re ready for that too. I look forward to the return of Christ in the rapture every day, Ted, I know as you do, we talk about that. But all of these signs, these evidences of the alignment of nations around Israel, the walking away of the world’s body, the United Nations, and even the mixed message from our own administration where on one hand we are with Israel, but then on the other hand, we’re going to make a deal with the enemies of Israel. And then on the other hand, we’re going to tell Israel you cannot actually annex, which I mean, it’s not like they’re taking land, doesn’t belong to them, the very heartland of Israel. These are mixed messages that are falling in this window, Ted, about which we, again, that’s all part of what we’re watching, isn’t it? You only have about 30 seconds left. Any concluding words?

Ted Vanlandeghem:

Well, Sam, all of Israel has been title deeded to the people of Israel by the God of Israel, and it belongs to him alone. The scripture promises that this is going to be the point of contention in the last days and even in the tribulation, when all the nations in the world will one day gather against Jerusalem and that day is coming. And in the meantime, we have a great task before us, which is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone we can.

Sam Rohrer:

Amen and amen. And that’s a great way to close this program, Ted. Ted, thank you so much for being with me today. Again, ladies and gentlemen, their website, messianic Jewish Alliance of America, mjaa.org, you can find more information about what they are doing and that is in part a furthering of the message of the Gospel of Yeshua, not just to the Jewish world, but to all as we do here on this program. Well, thanks for being with us today. May the Lord bless you and edify us all, give us boldness to stand in the gap, absolutely. But to share the gospel with Jesus Christ, with those around us who do not yet know you.
