In Ezekiel 38, you undoubtedly see parallels with current events. In these days when good is called evil and evil is called good, it is more important than ever that we be willing to heed the call to share our faith with others. Barry shares his thoughts on how everything that is happening in our world can be found in Scripture and why we should be working harder than ever to bring everyone, every day, closer to Jesus.

Music. Welcome back to ignite. Talk about a wake-up call. Have you been noticing what’s going on lately? I mean, it speaks volumes. I know in it was a Matthew 2436 it says, no one knows the day or the hour. Only God the Father knows when he’s coming back, but then in Luke, 21 you know he says, but when you see these things begin to happen, lift up your heads and rejoice, because your redemption draws. I think it’s time to lift up our heads and rejoice, because it’s pretty amazing. What’s going on right now, if you haven’t lately, read Ezekiel 38 the war of Ezekiel, 3837 3839 describes it, but it talks about how Gog and Magog or Russia and Iran and Turkey and a consortium of countries will come down on Israel, and they get thumped pretty bad. I mean, very interesting. Just read Ezekiel 30. It’s pretty interesting. But prophecy experts argue only not that it’s not going to happen. Of course, going to happen, and Israel is going to survive. They’re going to get hurt bad, but they’ll survive. But the point being, the only, the only argument is it happened before or after the rapture. No question, it happens right at that time. And if you notice the posturing that’s going on between Iran and Russia and Turkey and Israel right now, we are at the cusp of that happening. That’s exciting. That’s exciting. The antichrist. Go to Ashina, one world government. Have you been following the World Economic Forum and their global reset that’s scheduled for 2030 when they first announced that was a long time out, but that’s six years from now. We’re gonna have one world currency when the Antichrist comes to power. Have you noticed cbdc, the central bank digital currency system that’s already been approved by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and the IRS? I mean, these things are happening right now. We were witnessing the fact of just chaos in America, and that’s because we’ve turned our back on God over the last 60 years, and we have chaos everywhere. Do you know that only 37% of the American population trusts our elections? That’s pretty bad. That’s pretty bad. And then, of course, you have the whatever was coup, whatever attempted assassination of Trump. What’s that all about? Epically, what happened at the Olympic opening, this global event, this is just not America. Understand. This is global. And at this epic, maybe the biggest event of the of the year, and you have this opening, this was such debauchery, really, kind of poking the finger in the eye of God. I mean, how long is God going to put up with all this? He’s unbelievably patient, and he wants to get as many people into heaven as he possibly can before it’s that lights out. But God’s patience certainly is getting. Must be getting to that point. Why is this all happening? Well, how can people make these horrendously stupid decisions every day the laws are passing the things they’re proclaiming, and sometimes with vessels popping out of their necks, they’re proclaiming things that don’t make any sense whatsoever. And the only explanation for me comes in second, Corinthians four, chapter four, where he explains it Satan’s the god of this world. It actually says that Satan’s the god of this world, and he blinds the minds of unbelievers. It was at one time we were 80% believers. Now we’re 80% nonbelievers. And when he blinds our minds, it makes us see evil as good and good as evil. That’s what’s happening. So the most insane things they’re saying, they literally see them as evil. They see them as good. We see them as evil. They see them as good. We may hate them, but we have no room to hate them. God loves them. They’re not evil. They’re lost. They’re lost. And here’s the dichotomy. It is a dichotomy and scriptural, The fields are white for harvest. Do you know that over 80% of the unchurched are looking for God. They know the world’s out of control and are looking for God, looking for somebody telling about God. But the labors are few, and we mention this often in our recordings, only 1% of us are sharing our faith, only 1% of us. Romans, 10, one. It describes, how are they going to know unless somebody tells them they’re lost, they’re not going to church. So how are they going to find out there’s a God that loves it unless we tell them? Who’s going to tell them? Unless somebody sends and nobody’s sending us. That’s why we have Ignite. That’s what we’re here for. It boils down to this one question, do you care? Do you even care? Do you care that people are going to hell. Do you care that 80% of the people around you every day are going to hell? And do you just turn your head and walk the other way? You don’t care. This is what the love of God is all about. When you love God and He loves you, that love flows to those around you. You Jew, if you have unsaved friends and family and loved ones around you that are lost, I got to tell you, this is your wake-up call. This is your wake up call, and you’re running out of time see you next time.
