Sam Rohrer:
Hello and welcome to this Monday edition of Stand In the Gap Today, and it’s also our monthly emphasis on national security, geopolitics and prophecy. And you might say, do those all go together? They do, they do indeed. And our returning guest military expert on many levels, JR McGee, he’s also the Extreme Leadership Group founder and CEO and strategic leadership and counter-terrorism specialist for over 30 years training some of our very best in the military, our young men in Delta Force, Navy Seals and others. Now, the title I’ve chosen to frame our focus today is this geopolitics global events and then this part connected to that, the undeniable Trump factor, and we’re going to explain all of that and link these things. So stay with us in that regard. Now, as normal over the weekend, there were many notable events globally that continued to unfold in regard to, well a number of things, some weather items, some wars and rumors of wars, which will comment on here, today’s program.
But in addition here in our own country, some of you probably if you were involved, you’re probably not listening to us, but many people are aware that there was a lot of devastation over the weekend. A lot of storms in the Midwest in particular. One, I was just looking and I saw footage from where an E three, I think it was tornado landed in St. Louis, touched down there, over 5,000 homes and churches and other buildings destroyed according to the National Weather Service. Think about that. 5,000 homes just a day before that. There were hailstorms in another part of the country that brought down baseball size chunks of ice, hail, baseball size. Can you imagine that destroyed everything in its path. So I just say that because we need to pray for so many people who have had their lives upended in a matter of moments, and that’s happening across our country.
And sometimes the global things seems like it takes precedent, but there are thousands and tens of thousands of people affected here in our own country. So I offer that up. You may know people personally, if not just pray in a general sense. It’s worthy of that. Now, for a look ahead at programs this week, please join Dr. Jamie Mitchell and special guest Leon Tucker tomorrow on their theme that’ll be reclaiming relationships. I think that’ll be a good emphasis on Wednesday. Michael Snyder will join me again as we look at some of the more significant events that are happening. It’ll include but not exclusively the tremendous increase in volcanic action and earthquakes and actually a linking to rare events in our sun last week that actually may be creating some of these. We’ll talk about that on Thursday. David New will join me for a Constitution and American history update. And then on Friday, Dr. George Barna will join Pastor Isaac Crockett and me as we break the latest research from the Cultural Research Center, Arizona Christian University, a full week of relevant programs. So I hope and pray that you’ll make plans to be with us every day if you can. Now back to today’s theme of geopolitics, global events and the undeniable Trump factor with that JR McGee back from a cruise and an enjoyable time. It’s good to have you back and thank you for being here today.
JR McGee:
Thank you, Sam. We were on our honeymoon cruise and it was a fabulous week and what an exciting time to be back with our guests because of all of the things happening in the world. I am really looking forward to talking about these things today on the show
Sam Rohrer:
And I am too. Let’s get right into it. We have a lot to talk about the Trump factors we’re going to go as we look at the world events because as you and I are talking, JR no one be they a supporter and avid supporter where the president can do no wrong to those where he can do no right, him and this current administration. One thing about it is that the entire world is off balance. The declarations, the mandates, the threats, the terrorists, the enticements, the deal making, all of these things and whether it comes from the pen of the president or the mouth of the president, literally everything is in flux here at home and around the world, and we can see that. And so that’s a part of what we’re looking at because that’s an undeniable thing. But with that in mind, let’s go here. What the president is exactly trying to do, the methodology by which he’s going about it, the speed, all of that has created hope on the part of some fear, on the part of others uncertainty on the part of the remaining, and it’s this part I’d like to get your comment on here in this first segment, in your opinion, what is the president actually trying to do? What legacy perhaps is he trying to build and in your opinion, what is his driving policy philosophy? So three questions about it there.
JR McGee:
Sam, the president has been known for quite some time as being a deal maker. In fact, everyone’s talking about that now. He’s got that legacy, the legacy that I believe he has shifted to. He wants to be known as a presidential peacemaker and he shifted the new Trump doctrine as it were. He laid out very clearly in his speech in Saudi Arabia is peace and war. We’ve talked for 200 years about war and peace. He’s shifted that on its head and now the focus is on peace and the message is you get on board with peace or you have to suffer the consequences. That’s a completely different perspective. We focused on nation building and being the world’s policeman. He wants to be somebody who goes in and settles conflicts so that people can get back to doing business and growing and living good lives. Now that’s an admirable quality, but I do a lot of work these days with both strategy and businesses and helping them change their culture.
And one of the things that I’ve found is you can change a culture so fast, you break it when you go about cultural change. You have to give people time to absorb that change, to accept that change and to commit to that change. If you try to do it too fast, you’ll actually break that culture versus change that culture. I think that the speed and velocity that he’s using is by design. He’s engaging in what used to be known as Blitzkrieg, which is two German wars, blitz for lightning. krieg is war. He has understood that one of the best ways to overcome the liberals in Congress is to overwhelm them with speed and velocity. And that has worked. It’s worked beyond anybody’s expectations, but it has worked almost too well. We are going to have to give the American people and more importantly our allies around the world, a chance to understand and develop the ramifications of what all these changes mean. And you can’t just force these other countries to change. They have to want to change. And that’s a piece of the puzzle that I think is missing right now. Sam,
Sam Rohrer:
I think you summed it up really well, jr the velocity and the frequency of all that is taking place, ladies and gentlemen, it produces a climate of change that for sure is happening, a climate of change in transition, but from what can it be controlled? How is all that working out? That is the part of uncertainty. So therefore everybody’s got different perspectives. It changes from week to week, but we’re going to try and apply some of what we just talked about as we walk into these other hotspots. We’re going to talk about the Saudi visit next to some of the things that came out of that. Then we’ll go to the Middle East further and elsewhere. Stay with me back in a moment if you are just joining us right now. Thanks for being with us and this is standing a gap today and our theme today is this geopolitics global events in the undeniable Trump factor and that Trump factor we’re talking about in particular is that without any fear of contradiction, this president by his wealth, his methodology, his personality, all of that is created a circumstance where frankly the entire world is in change, is in transition.
And that no matter how you look at it is taking place. That’s the Trump factor we’re talking about here today. Special guest is JR McGee and if you listen to the program, you know him well. So let’s get right back into it. Jr. Last week Donald Trump made a much telegraphed trip to the Middle East with a meeting in Saudi Arabia. And while primarily cast as an economic meeting, there were high level goals that were established including, well, a lot of you don’t know this, but there was a goal of walking out of that meeting with getting a trillion dollar investment from the Middle East. I’m going to say Sunni Muslim countries and from them into America, of course, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE that were the three involved also had their goals as they were making deals because this was a deal making setting that favored.
They wanted to make deals that favored them obviously, but in a way that could be claimed as a win for the United States, which is what the president did. Now into this scenario, many components have been laid on the table last Friday, standing the Gap Today program. Dr. Isaac Crockett and I focused on the Middle East trip, this one particular and the many significant concerns that have arisen. So if you’re listening to me now, you didn’t catch that program, I’d encourage you to go back and listen to that Friday program last week as a commenter on a number of things we are not bringing into this discussion today. There were a lot of things that came out of that meeting, but that being the case jr. Let’s start with Saudi Arabia first and the person Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman who organized the official Saudi reception for Donald Trump. And in fact it was a grand reception, really was you followed this fellow for some time. So in your opinion, what is good, bad, or indifferent with this new young ruler as he is leading Saudi Arabia?
JR McGee:
Well, Sam, I’ve studied Mohammed bin Salman for more than 20 years now, and I’ve watched him grow up as a young man and his training to become the leader and the head of the Saudi House of saw government, he is different. There’s no if, ands and buts about it, he is probably the most westernized of all of the Arabic government leaders that we’ve seen in our lifetime. He understands the west, he understands the United States in particular, if for no other reason than Aramco has been one of the dominant producers of wealth in Saudi Arabia. And that’s been an alliance, a corporate alliance with the oil companies of the United States and Saudi Arabia from the early sixties and seventies until today. Bin Salman is different also in a different way. Almost all of the previous Saudi rulers in almost all of the Arabic rulers in particular are purely focused on politics and power.
Bin Salman has a vision and that’s different. That’s not something we’ve seen before. He has a vision of creating an Arabic culture that is no longer dominant or dominated by oil. He wants to have a culture and an economy that’s based on tourism and a lot of people laugh at that, but if you’ve been there, there are parts of that country that are utterly beautiful, their beaches, their architecture, it’s amazing. And the Arabic culture can be incredibly welcoming when they want to be. I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all for them to turn their focus away from oil or at least not being solely dependent on oil and trying to build an economy that’s based on tourism and he wants to build the largest city in the world and he’s doing that. The interesting thing about this young man is everything that he’s dreamed, he’s turning into reality and he’s doing it his way.
Now on the downside, he is not real subtle about the way he operates and he expects to be obeyed. He is a king in that culture and that is a situation that demands not just loyalty but obedience and they’re not very subtle about how they go about getting obedience and they expect people around them to operate as if they’re still in the 1940s. He’s trying to change some of that as well. He’s been one of the driving forces to begin to integrate women into the Arabic culture and to have them become not just not invisible anymore, but an actual part of the culture. A lot of the things that he’s trying to do are laudable and commendable. The way he’s trying to do them is still some of the ways that the Arabic culture has been operating for 2000 years. So there is some good, some bad, and I think you have to remember in the Arabic culture, they’re not as dependent on geography as we are.
They don’t have country loyalties, they have tribal loyalties and they’re always looking out for their best interest and they’re very good at deal making for their best interest. And there’s a saying in the Arabic country that the enemy of my enemies, my friend, we’ve actually adopted that here in the United States to a degree that’s an Arabic cultural statement for 3000 years and they operate on that. And for years and years and years, the United States was seen as the best friend that they could have to protect them from their other enemies. Now it’s changed the last administration by trying to have Muhammad bin Salman, arrested, destroyed, lot of that trust and that’s going to take years to repair if ever. And I think that the Arabic culture also has a philosophy of following what they call the strong horse. They will shift alliances at the drop of a hat the moment another tribe seems to be winning, they will join that tribe.
They want to win at all costs because for several thousand years in their culture, the price of losing was death. So they always want to be on the winning side. And here’s the interesting thing, they still view the United States militarily and economically as the dominant power, but they no longer believe they can trust the United States. They now look at China and Russia as being more trustworthy but not necessarily stronger. So they’re to cross worlds. Same thing with India. I’d like to talk about India a little bit further on in the program, but India is going through the exact same decision process. Who do they trust? Who do they make their alliance with? Because the big three in the world right now is the United States, China and Russia in that order, and every other country is going to have to decide who they’re going to follow. Ben Solomon is really becoming the defacto leader of the Middle East and that he is a Sunni Muslim and that puts him in conflict with the Shia Muslims, which is Iran and Syria, Yemen and some of the other Shiite Islamic nations. But overall, Mohammad Binal is the dominant leader in the Middle East and he’s making a lot of decisions and for the most part he’s making very good decisions, Sam,
Sam Rohrer:
Okay? And what’s going to let it there, because he is, he’s committed to almost three quarters of a trillion dollars, 250 billion to buy US military equipment, which is a question for some obviously 20 billion in the AI technology. He wants to become and turn Saudi Arabia into the number one AI capital of the world. So a lot of the things you talked about understandable, why there was seemingly a good chemistry between our president and him. There’s so much in similar. Now, one other, the question is not a whole lot of time to complete it, but one of the nations involved to which even Saudi Arabia and Ben Salman, well now we’ll let that go at that was the nation of Qatar. Qatar is there lots of money, but there was a close connection to Qatar as a part of this and that has a lot of people concerned about the president’s reaching out to Qatar and taking Qatar money of which at this point 40 billion of cutter money has been spread around our country here buying a property in all kinds of things. So anyways, your thoughts on Qatar
JR McGee:
Cutter is occupying a very unique space in the Middle East. They’ve got one foot in the Sunni Muslim world and one foot in the Shiite Muslim world. They’re viewed as the one country that is the go-between or the mediator between all the parties, between the Shiites, the Sunnis and the West. And now China Cutter has developed a role of being a mediator and a facilitator for agreements. And the one thing that you have to always remember is the Qataris always look out for the Qatari first. So anytime they’re involved in any kind of a trade or negotiation, they’re going to come out of that ahead in some way, shape, form or fashion. And I have to say this in my personal opinion, the Qataris have a very strong bias toward the Shiite Islamic nations, although they themselves are predominantly a Sunni Muslim nation. A lot of Americans do not understand the difference between Sunni and Shiites. And I’ve been trying over the course of several of our programs to educate people on what those differences are. But the Qatari are right in the middle and for better or worse, they’re playing a key role in that. The issue is trust. The Russians have that saying, go pro, hold no pro trust but verify. I think with the Qatari are involved, you’ve got to verify everything and trust nothing.
Sam Rohrer:
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, that’s a quick overview. I’m hoping that what was said helps to clarify a little bit coming out of that meeting primarily there in Saudi Arabia. It was an economic purposes, but it was not limited to that. There were political things that aligning with Saudi versus, well anyways, there’s a lot of things going on in that meeting. When we come back, we are going to shift and talk about Ukraine and Russia because that is another hotspot of which the president is involved in so much more. Alright, we just commented briefly on a portion of the president’s trip and meeting to Saudi Arabia, the Middle East last week. There were a number of implications on that and we’re going to touch on that because there’s an Israel connection as well. We’ll talk about that in the next segment. But because of the very nature of our global effort, no matter who you talk about in the Middle East, you’re also bringing in, if you talk about Saudi Arabia, you’ve got to say, well, where’s Russia involved in that?
Where’s China involved with that? With Iran? Where’s Russia? Where’s China? And now you’ve got Turkey coming into the mix. We are trying to, with all of our military bases, what is it? 800 some I think heard last across the world. We are involved in everybody’s business and so everything is connected. So we’re asked, the focus last week was primarily Saudi Arabia, the United States, our relationship, Qatar involvement, United Arab Emirates involvement, those three SUNY nations, whereas there was an emphasis there. You cannot talk about any of that without also thinking about what’s happening up in Russia because there’s a connection. So that’s, we’re going to go here next. Now, last week also Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky went to Anura Turkey. Turkey opened up their doors as a place to meet and he did so in compliance with effectively, I’m going to say the demands of Donald Trump to meet with the Russians.
The president’s been trying to seek peace in the Ukraine. It’s been elusive. It hasn’t happened yet. He said, you got to meet with the Russians. Well, he went to anchor as expected, though it wasn’t a surprise at the last moment, president Putin, he didn’t go in person, nor did he send his actual emissaries to ra. Instead Russian negotiators of a lower sort, not Putin went to Istanbul and Zelensky refused to go to Istanbul. So now everybody can claim deniability. So there was no meeting. However, Russian spokesman Lavrov held a press conference last week and he was very clear on the Russian demands for peace, which frankly have been very consistent for years. Now, he may have added a point or two, but when you look at the list, it’s almost like it’s not possible that there can be peace. But the result is that Donald Trump said the fact that there was not a successful meeting, in fact any meeting between Zelensky and Putin wasn’t a real surprise.
And that he said, it’s ly going to come down to me meeting personally with President Putin and only I am able to strike a deal with Putin. Alright, now that’s going to happen with some possible meeting even today, but it’s coming up here shortly. Alright, so with that scenario, Jr the war in Ukraine continues to roll on and so do the Russian forces. They’re capturing ground every day from your military strategy perspective as this situation unfolds, which again the president said many times before the inauguration that when inaugurated within days he was going to have a peace agreement. Well, that obviously has not happened. So with where things sit there with Ukraine now are we closer to peace or is peace being postponed? Just give you some comments on that whole affair there.
JR McGee:
That’s a very complex question, Sam, and I think it was unfortunate that Donald Trump said that he would solve the Russia Ukraine situation within a matter of days after his election because this is clearly something that is going to take a true, truly amazing amount of compromise on everybody’s part. I’m in the minority here and I fully admit that I’m in the minority. I believe that Russia is in a very perilous position here. They’re projecting strength, but they’ve used up the vast majority of their military equipment and they’ve lost an extraordinary number of men in this conflict. Let me just give you a couple of examples on the military equipment. For the 155 millimeter Howards or Shells in particular, they’ve used up all the ones in Russia, they got one and a half million more from North Korea. They’ve gotten all the 155 millimeter artillery shells from Belarus and some of the other countries that Russia can depend on.
And they’re running short on even those. And they’ve increased their manufacturing by over 400% to manufacture these shells, but they can’t keep up. They’re ironically dependent now on Iran for the drones that they’re using because they can’t manufacture enough drones. They’ve lost a very large number of helicopters and fighter jets and even some of their strategic bombers in this Ukraine has actually destroyed several Russian strategic bombers in all this. And then you get to the number of men that Russia has lost, that’s not being reported very much in the news, but behind the scenes the Russian population is outraged and rioting over how many people are being killed in this war. Putin is in a perilous position, he’s projecting strength, but he can’t maintain this course for much longer. On the other side of the coin, you’ve got Zelensky is trying to project more strength than he has, but the Ukrainians have done far better in this conflict than anybody thought that they could.
They’ve lasted far longer, but they also cannot continue unless they get very large amounts of support from NATO in the United States. And I think Donald Trump’s changing the battlefield on that front as well. So whether these two gentlemen like it or not, they’re going to have to sit down and talk with each other. And I believe both sides are going to have to compromise and give up something that they don’t want to give up. I believe that Ukraine’s going to have to give up the Crimea. I believe Russia is going to have to give up some stuff. It’s potentially going to be embarrassing for them. But here’s where I think this is. You asked whether or not we’re just temporarily postponing this. And I believe the answer to that is yes. And here’s the biblical reason why I say that. Russia begins to form an alliance that is large enough to threaten Israel.
In order to do that, they’ve got to reconstitute a lot of the countries that they had in the former Warsaw Pact and the chief among those is Ukraine. There’s a reason Putin is going after Ukraine. He needs their farm, he needs their agriculture, he needs their military, he needs their minerals, he needs the things that Zelensky just signed over to the United States. He can’t afford not to have Ukraine. So I think that postponing this, because the alliance that is formed in the Bible includes all these nations. I think that ultimately Putin or Putin’s successor will be successful in realigning all these countries back under the Russian banner. It has to happen. That’s what the Bible says is going to occur. So I think all of these machinations that we’re seeing is a lot of posturing by people trying to put the best possible face on a really bad situation. And I think it’s a little hubristic to think that one person can go in and solve all of this. I think Trump has the capability to get people to talk, but ultimately Putin and Zelensky are going to have to decide what they’re willing to give up in order to stop this temporarily.
Sam Rohrer:
And in addition to that, JR as we have talked before, this is much bigger. This conflict is much bigger than Russia, Ukraine. It is the United States, it is the European Union, it is NATO. All of them have their different designs, all of them, as we know right now, the European nations have sent warnings out to all of their citizens to get weeks or two months or whatever supplies on hand because they anticipate war, they’re growing their economies, they’re putting more money into military. So one thing we’re watching right now for sure, no matter how everyone looks at it, is that the nations of the world are ramping up their military preparedness. And whether it’s selling 240 billion to Saudi Arabia, the deal last week or NATO and European Union ramping up, we are heading towards a larger conflict, not a smaller one because of all of these things. That’s one thing I look at. What do you think about that?
JR McGee:
I think that’s exactly true. NATO realizes that the only possible outcome of this is going to be Russia has got to grow. Russia has got to get bigger and they’re not going to stop until they do. And I think that the realization that these European countries are coming to is that they’ve depended on the United States for all their defense. That’s why they’ve spent virtually nothing or the absolute minimum for years and years and years. They now realize that this is on their doorstep and they didn’t honestly believe that war would ever come to Europe again. I truly believe the majority of the European people had thought that they had put war behind them and they didn’t take it seriously. Well because of the way Russia was treated after the fall of the iron curtain, Russia feels like they were taken advantage of and frankly, Putin has got some validation for the way he feels. It’s understandable he’s doing some of the things that he’s doing, but it’s a collision course. And just like every other wreck, neither side of the two parties are going to come out of this in the same condition that they went into it in. It’s going to be messy before it gets solved. Sam?
Sam Rohrer:
Yeah, and I think that is correct, and ladies and gentlemen, okay, we’re just not by any means being exhaustive on any of these hotspots, but they’re all areas where our president is intimately involved, all of which Jr’s commentary, what you said about wanting to create the position of global peacemaker, there are all elements of this that are factoring into that. And so we mentioned that in that regard. Now when you come back, there’s another area that just very recently the President said if it wasn’t for him coming in at the last minute, the world would be in Paul of World War or however. And that was in regard to Pakistan and India, a simmering pot there. We’re going to talk about that and then we will conclude with some comments about Israel. We go into our final segment. Just a quick reminder again, you heard there in the last, not this last segment, but the one before the third in a series of what we are doing.
And you’ll be hearing many more in our verses to memorize emphasis. And this one this week is about God’s comfort from Psalm chapter 23 in verse four. Of course, Psalm chapter 23, it starts with the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want very familiar. But that fourth verse, ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. That verse is verse to memorize this week because of the power of it. Memorize the entire chapter. Maybe you already have, but we’re doing that and that will run all week. And we’re doing that now as a way of helping to encourage all who listen to this program, to do something that the scripture tells us to do. And that is hide God’s word in our heart that we might not sin against him.
And that happens to be the verse from last week. But all of these things we’re asking you to do that along with us. Why? Because there are so many benefits. And so again, just a slight reminder of that for all of you, God will bless when we do this. And so that’s the reason for doing it. And just that brief mention, I’ll move on because we haven’t not yet to finish JR the conflict between, I’m going to put this way, Muslim and China supported Pakistan. Pakistan is a Muslim nation. China supports them and India, which is Hindu and America leaning, I’m going to put it that way. There was a conflict there obviously it was breaking out into major conflict and neither one of those powers were about to back up temporarily halted with Donald Trump himself publicly stating that he alone was able to intercede and bring peace at the last moment back into the peacemaker comment you made at the beginning. Yet this conflict between these two countries predates the president. It is very deep and it is long lasting. Therefore, here’s my question. What are your strategic thoughts on this area of the world? And this particular, I’m going to put it this way, simmering conflict because I don’t think they’re all of a sudden good buddies.
JR McGee:
No, Sam. This started at the end of World War II and where India was divided, Pakistan used to be part of India and the cashmere was also part of India, and Pakistan was separated at the end of World War ii and cashmere region is still no man’s land. They haven’t decided yet whether cashmere is going to be part of Pakistan or part of India, and it’s caused a great deal of resentment and conflict over the years. Recently, Pakistani terrorist attacked and killed 26 Indian terrorists in India. And that led to a series of conflicts, artillery battles, surface to surface missile battles. And in fact, we had the largest air battle since World War II happened. Over 125 fighter jets from both countries got involved in a air to air conflict and India lost five fighter jets. Now, the timing on all this is very interesting is my personal belief.
Again, I sometimes can state back, but when I state my personal belief, I want to make sure everyone knows this is just what I think. I believe India stood down because they did not want this to embarrass or interfere with Trump’s middle Eastern trip. I don’t think for a second India is going to stand by and let this continue to go. I don’t think that they’re going to let this drop. Pakistan’s attack was too brutal. It was too vicious. And just like in America, when we’re attacked by terrorists, we have every right to respond to that. I think that this is simply a delaying action. I think that when India responds, it’s going to be overwhelming and I think it’s going to be sooner rather than later in the coming days, maybe the few weeks at most. But I see this breaking out again and breaking out in a very big way.
Sam Rohrer:
Alright, let’s let it there. Let’s shift now to Israel in the end, Jr, as we’ve talked many times and already from a biblical and Prophetical perspective, the world’s attention we know in these days as it has been since 1948, when Israel became a state, the world’s attention began to once again shift to the nation of Israel, which obviously did not exist for hundreds of years. Now with everything we’ve talked about here today, there is an Israel connection. Could you offer your concluding thoughts on how a God-fearing person, those listening to our program today should put all of this as it connects, particularly with Israel into perspective,
JR McGee:
Sam as a normal human being. Some of these things that are going on are terrifying. We’ve got wars. You’ve got China versus Taiwan, China versus the United States. You’ve got Russia versus Ukraine. You’ve got Pakistan versus India. The world is incredibly unstable right now. And as a normal person, that’s terrifying. You’ve got economic instability, technological instability. The world right now is categorized by instability. And as a person that can be deeply concerning. And I have to say red lights are flashing, but this train’s picking up speed. But the thing about being a Christian, my beliefs, my truly deeply held principles, we’re seeing the Bible proven accurate every single day. Sam, things that even five years ago, the experts were saying were just fairytales and impossible. Now they’re front page headlines. It’s incredible what we’re seeing happening. The speed of prophecy is accelerating dramatically. And as a Christian, I find that exhilarating.
Here’s why. We have physical proof that the Bible, that we believe in God’s word is true. It’s true about the history that it reported. It’s true about things that are happening today. And if those two things are equal, that gives me a huge statistical probability that the fact that it’s going to be just as accurate about the future. We’re seeing this play out before our very eyes. We’re living in incredibly powerful times. We’re seeing this happen in our lifetime. So many times we’ve referenced wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes and floods and diverse places. I say even the rocks are crying out and time’s growing extremely short. So what does that mean? It means that God’s going to take care of Jerusalem. In Luke chapter 21, verse 20, it says, and when you shall see Jerusalem encompassed about with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nine.
It’s not the desolation of Jerusalem, it’s desolation of those armies. In Zechariah chapter 12 verse three, it says, and in that day, will I make Jerusalem a burden stone for all people? All that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces. Though all the people, the earth be gathered together against it. Even the United States is beginning to turn our back on Israel. Trump did not include Netanyahu in any of these discussions, negotiations, or visits with any of these other countries. That’s significant. I think it’s not being talked about very much, but there’s something significant that’s changed in the relationship between Donald Trump and Netanyahu in the last couple of months. We’re going to find out what that is pretty shortly, but we can see God’s hand in all of this. And we know that God personally saves Israel and that means he personally saves believers.
We should be rejoicing to see all of us in this lifetime. And the more important thing is we should be motivated to tell everybody we come into contact with friends, family, strangers, about God’s plan of salvation. Nothing could possibly be more exciting to a believer than to see that our faith is indeed based on a real God with a real plan and that our salvation is secure. We’ve got an obligation to reach as many people as possible with that good news. And God’s going to hold us accountable for how we use this time. I think we should be using it by rejoicing and being fearless. Sam,

There you go. And that’s a great way to close. Ladies and gentlemen. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a power and of love and of a sound mind and being fully aware that God of the ages, our creator, God, is working out his will, which involves the alignment of the nations exactly as the scripture for tells. That’s greatly confident. I hope that you trust in that. Thanks for being with us, JR McGee. Thanks for being with me today. Again, great program. God bless you.
