He's written 7 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,599 S1: the book called Called to Take a Bold Stand. I 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,480 S1: absolutely love this book because it reminds us that in Christ, 9 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480 S1: all things pass away, all things become new, that we 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,200 S1: are standing for his truth, that we have a new nature. 11 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,080 S1: Because of him, we should be living boldly. But far 12 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,120 S1: too often we retreat out of fear from cultural blowback. 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,600 S1: So I want to encourage all of us to just 14 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,800 S1: stand up for Christ, to be unashamed of who we 15 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,080 S1: are in him, and to go into a culture that's 16 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,600 S1: telling us in no uncertain terms, they're lost and they're hurting. 17 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,720 S1: So if you'd like a copy of Pastor Hibbs new 18 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,400 S1: book called Call to Take a Bold Stand, just give 19 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,519 S1: a gift of any amount by calling 877 Janet 58. 20 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,000 S1: We are listener supported radio and this is my way 21 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,160 S1: of saying thank you.

The president won a pledge. 41 00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:47,089 S4: Americans worshiping government over God. 42 00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:50,810 S5: Extremely rare safety move by a major 17 years. 43 00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:52,890 S4: The Palestinians and Israelis negotiated. 44 00:01:55,690 --> 00:02:08,609 S5: A truce. Hi friends. 45 00:02:08,610 --> 00:02:10,770 S1: Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall in a 46 00:02:10,770 --> 00:02:14,530 S1: very happy Monday to you. Oh my goodness. History was 47 00:02:14,530 --> 00:02:17,169 S1: made over the weekend. I don't know about you, but 48 00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:20,290 S1: I'm going to remember where I was when Operation Epic 49 00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:23,010 S1: Fury started. This is what we tell you always to 50 00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:25,130 S1: go through life with the Bible in one hand and 51 00:02:25,130 --> 00:02:27,690 S1: the newspaper in the other. How interesting, by the way, 52 00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:30,609 S1: that all of this is taking place. When? Tonight at sundown, 53 00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:33,450 S1: the feast of Purim begins. I mean, this is amazing. 54 00:02:33,450 --> 00:02:36,250 S1: So you have a Jewish queen whose uncle says, don't 55 00:02:36,250 --> 00:02:38,769 S1: tell anybody you're Jewish. You got an evil, evil, demonic 56 00:02:38,770 --> 00:02:41,090 S1: spirit and a man named Haman or Haman, if you 57 00:02:41,090 --> 00:02:43,810 S1: want to do it in the Hebrew. And he's plotting 58 00:02:43,810 --> 00:02:46,770 S1: the demise of the Jewish people, getting a gallows built. 59 00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:49,690 S1: He ends up dying on those gallows. And it was 60 00:02:49,730 --> 00:02:53,010 S1: because of a Persian king that who saw the light 61 00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:55,970 S1: of day that the Jewish people were set free. Isn't 62 00:02:55,970 --> 00:02:59,580 S1: that interesting how history repeats itself in reverse. So the 63 00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:02,100 S1: Persians set the Jews free at one point. Now the 64 00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:04,380 S1: Jews are working to set the Persians free, which is 65 00:03:04,380 --> 00:03:07,620 S1: what Iranians like to call themselves. It's history in the making. 66 00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,940 S1: When will it end? I don't know, the president said today. 67 00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:13,100 S1: It's going to be weeks, not days. And we're a well, 68 00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,420 S1: we don't have a good attention span. We citizens of 69 00:03:15,419 --> 00:03:17,780 S1: these United States, hey, we get instant popcorn and money 70 00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:19,820 S1: from an ATM lickety split. We want our wars to 71 00:03:19,820 --> 00:03:23,500 S1: be over in 22 seconds. Honestly. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, 72 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,180 S1: was on the Hill today talking yet again to the 73 00:03:26,180 --> 00:03:28,460 S1: Gang of Eight. That's a euphemism they use for the 74 00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:30,660 S1: eight highest members of Congress who have a higher level 75 00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:33,619 S1: of security clearance. He was briefing them on what was 76 00:03:33,620 --> 00:03:36,380 S1: going on with Operation Epic Fury. And when he came 77 00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,380 S1: down the stairs and met with the press, oh have mercy. Again, 78 00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:41,220 S1: it was peppering him with, when is this going to 79 00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:44,620 S1: be over? Over. Excuse me. It just started. And so 80 00:03:44,620 --> 00:03:48,220 S1: the first 40 plus ayatollahs and leaders have been eliminated. 81 00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:50,460 S1: They're all having breakfast together in the room at the 82 00:03:50,460 --> 00:03:53,780 S1: same time. That'll tell you a little something about Israeli intelligence. Boom! 83 00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:56,220 S1: They're just gone. Then they put a new ayatollah in. 84 00:03:56,260 --> 00:03:59,100 S1: He lives about eight hours and then he stepped into eternity. 85 00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:01,500 S1: But there's so much more to be done, including but 86 00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,660 S1: not limited, but not limited to. Who's going to step 87 00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:06,980 S1: into this vacuum that's going to be created. The Persian 88 00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:09,860 S1: people are beyond excited. This is a day of redemption 89 00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:13,220 S1: for them. They've been praying for this since 1979, and 90 00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:15,580 S1: they're hoping that this time, this time, there'll be a 91 00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:18,660 S1: follow through. And the theocracy that has been like a 92 00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:21,300 S1: boot on their neck will finally be removed. I want 93 00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,460 S1: you to get more insight on this story from CBN news. 94 00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:24,339 S1: Have a listen. 95 00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:28,060 S6: Iranians celebrated in the streets of Tehran and around the 96 00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:32,940 S6: world after joint U.S. Israeli military strikes killed Iran's Supreme 97 00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:35,060 S6: Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. 98 00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,580 S7: This has been the wish of the Iranians. We couldn't 99 00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:42,460 S7: wait to hear this news. And now that has happened 100 00:04:42,460 --> 00:04:44,180 S7: and people are rejoicing. 101 00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:48,500 S6: Also dead. More than 40 top Iranian officials, including the 102 00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:52,820 S6: head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian defense minister. 103 00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:57,790 S8: I would say that the military results are above and beyond. 104 00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:00,469 S8: I think a very high level of success. 105 00:05:00,670 --> 00:05:03,870 S6: Regime change was part of the strategy in Saturday's joint 106 00:05:03,870 --> 00:05:07,470 S6: surprise attacks on Iran. The IDF reports it dropped more 107 00:05:07,470 --> 00:05:11,910 S6: than 2000 bombs in 30 hours, striking hundreds of targets 108 00:05:11,910 --> 00:05:16,150 S6: and achieving air superiority on day one. Israel is also 109 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:20,750 S6: striking Lebanon after Hezbollah fired rockets near Haifa. And in 110 00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:24,670 S6: the Truth Social recorded video. President Trump says nine Iranian 111 00:05:24,670 --> 00:05:26,590 S6: naval ships were destroyed. 112 00:05:26,830 --> 00:05:30,990 S9: Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and 113 00:05:31,150 --> 00:05:34,990 S9: they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved. 114 00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:38,190 S8: I think we're living in historic times, and this will 115 00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:41,750 S8: go down in history as a brilliant move of two 116 00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:43,790 S8: democracies fighting back. 117 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:49,350 S6: Iran retaliated by targeting U.S. military installations in six Arab countries, 118 00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:53,870 S6: rousing more hostility towards the government and triggering Germany, France 119 00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:57,510 S6: and the UK to possibly join in the fight. Central 120 00:05:57,510 --> 00:06:00,429 S6: command reports three U.S. service members were killed in action 121 00:06:00,430 --> 00:06:03,989 S6: in Kuwait, and three U.S. jets crashed in a friendly 122 00:06:04,029 --> 00:06:09,349 S6: fire incident. All six pilots survived after parachuting from their fighters. 123 00:06:09,390 --> 00:06:13,190 S6: Israel is also taking hits. An Iranian missile strike early 124 00:06:13,230 --> 00:06:16,190 S6: Sunday morning in the heart of Tel Aviv, killing one 125 00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:20,190 S6: person and injuring nearly a dozen others. So far, one 126 00:06:20,190 --> 00:06:22,550 S6: woman has died and nearly two dozen injured when that 127 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:26,550 S6: ballistic missile hit this apartment building in Tel Aviv. The 128 00:06:26,589 --> 00:06:29,429 S6: Ministry for Foreign Affairs spokesperson saying this is a perfect 129 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:32,869 S6: example of how, while U.S. and Israel is fighting against 130 00:06:32,910 --> 00:06:36,429 S6: Iran's militia, Iran is targeting civilians. 131 00:06:36,910 --> 00:06:42,110 S10: This is the result of the Iranian regime ballistic terror. 132 00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:48,870 S10: As you can see, the ballistic missiles was aimed at 133 00:06:48,910 --> 00:06:52,680 S10: a civilian neighborhood. This is a civilian building. 134 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,039 S6: Sunday afternoon, another deadly Iranian missile strike in an Orthodox 135 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,120 S6: Jewish neighborhood outside Jerusalem, destroying a synagogue and surrounding homes. 136 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,320 S6: So far, nine people are dead, more than a dozen 137 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,160 S6: hospitalized as rescue crews dig through the rubble. For those 138 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,760 S6: still missing. Iran is firing missiles at Israel daily. Iranian 139 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,680 S6: state media announcing Sunday that an interim leadership council will 140 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,960 S6: take over until another supreme leader is selected. 141 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,080 S9: I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom 142 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,080 S9: to seize this moment, to be brave, be bold, be heroic, 143 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,200 S9: and take back your country. 144 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,040 S6: President Trump says the war could last up to five 145 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,960 S6: weeks and agreed to talks with Iran leadership, adding they 146 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,280 S6: should have done it sooner. 147 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,640 S7: We are witnessing this part of history and this will 148 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,000 S7: be a liberation of the Christian church, the underground church, 149 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,520 S7: so that hopefully in future we won't call it underground 150 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,800 S7: church anymore. And people can practice their faith and they 151 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,480 S7: can spread the gospel again, not only in Iran, but 152 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,040 S7: in the whole region, in the whole Middle East. 153 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,560 S6: Paul Pettit, CBN news, Tel Aviv. 154 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,840 S1: Amen and amen. Let's echo that prayer. By the way. 155 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,120 S1: This entire hour is going to be devoted to the 156 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,400 S1: biblical perspective on the events that are happening in the 157 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,600 S1: Middle East. But this is a time for you and me. 158 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,400 S1: If I've ever said it before, I'm going to say 159 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,520 S1: it now to walk through life with the Bible in 160 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,440 S1: one hand and the newspaper in the other. Aslan is 161 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,400 S1: on the move. What an opportunity for the promulgation of 162 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,920 S1: the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Middle East right now. 163 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,200 S1: What a bizarre but interesting coalition is being formed. When 164 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,360 S1: has Saudi Arabia ever stepped up and said, yes, we're 165 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,440 S1: going to allow our airspace to do what needs to 166 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,920 S1: be done against the regime in Iran. And speaking of Iran, 167 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,680 S1: the people want freedom. They've been praying for this since 1979, 168 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,320 S1: and nature abhors a vacuum. So we don't want another 169 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,280 S1: ayatollah or another mullah to step into that spot. And 170 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,330 S1: the people themselves are going to have to do what 171 00:08:49,370 --> 00:08:52,170 S1: needs to be done to get their own democracy and 172 00:08:52,170 --> 00:08:53,850 S1: their own freedom and liberty. They don't have an army. 173 00:08:53,850 --> 00:08:55,170 S1: They don't have a militia. How are they going to 174 00:08:55,170 --> 00:08:56,730 S1: do it? I don't know, but I'll tell you what. 175 00:08:56,730 --> 00:08:58,650 S1: I woke up this morning and guess what? God was 176 00:08:58,650 --> 00:09:00,850 S1: still on the throne. And I know that he raises 177 00:09:00,850 --> 00:09:02,650 S1: up kings and he pulls them down, and he holds 178 00:09:02,650 --> 00:09:03,810 S1: the heart of the king in his hand, and he 179 00:09:03,809 --> 00:09:06,090 S1: moves it any way he wants to. So I'm not worried, 180 00:09:06,090 --> 00:09:08,650 S1: but we can be praying because it's going to change 181 00:09:08,650 --> 00:09:11,250 S1: us as well as the world. To be praying that 182 00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:15,970 S1: God raises up just the right leadership, protection, peace, wisdom 183 00:09:15,970 --> 00:09:17,849 S1: now more than ever before. We're going to take a 184 00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:19,689 S1: break and come right back. Hey, it's a brand new month. 185 00:09:19,690 --> 00:09:21,730 S1: We got a brand new truth tool called To Take 186 00:09:21,730 --> 00:09:24,209 S1: a Bold Stand. Was that chosen right or not? Jack 187 00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:27,410 S1: Hibbs is the author 877 Janet 58. Give a gift. 188 00:09:27,410 --> 00:09:46,010 S1: I'll give you the book back after this. We were 189 00:09:46,010 --> 00:09:49,770 S1: created for relationships. Developing a healthy attachment to God helps 190 00:09:49,770 --> 00:09:52,650 S1: us form good relationships with others, and that's why I've 191 00:09:52,650 --> 00:09:55,410 S1: chosen secure how to have a healthy attachment to God. 192 00:09:55,410 --> 00:09:58,250 S1: As this month's truth tool, discover how real security is 193 00:09:58,250 --> 00:10:00,890 S1: found in your relationship with God. As for your copy 194 00:10:00,890 --> 00:10:02,730 S1: of secure, when you give a gift of any amount 195 00:10:02,730 --> 00:10:06,890 S1: to in the market, call 877 Janet 58. That's 877 196 00:10:06,929 --> 00:10:10,050 S1: Janet 58 or go to in the market with Janet Parshall. 197 00:10:13,450 --> 00:10:16,450 S11: I thank the representative of Bahrain for the statements. The 198 00:10:16,450 --> 00:10:19,010 S11: representative of Iran has asked for the floor to make 199 00:10:19,010 --> 00:10:19,970 S11: a further statement. 200 00:10:20,890 --> 00:10:24,450 S12: Thank you. I have one word only. I advise to 201 00:10:24,450 --> 00:10:28,090 S12: the representative of the United States to be polite. It 202 00:10:28,090 --> 00:10:31,730 S12: will be better for yourself and the country. You. Representative. 203 00:10:31,970 --> 00:10:32,490 S12: Thank you. 204 00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:36,810 S11: Representative. The United States has asked for the floor to 205 00:10:36,809 --> 00:10:37,770 S11: make a further statement. 206 00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:42,130 S13: Frankly, I I'm not going to dignify this with a 207 00:10:42,170 --> 00:10:48,220 S13: with another response, especially. As this representative sits here in 208 00:10:48,220 --> 00:10:52,300 S13: this body, representing a regime that has killed tens of 209 00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:57,980 S13: thousands of its own people and imprisoned many more simply 210 00:10:57,980 --> 00:11:03,179 S13: for wanting freedom from your tyranny. Thank you, Mr. President. 211 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,819 S1: Uh, I don't think the US is going to take 212 00:11:06,820 --> 00:11:09,900 S1: any directives whatsoever from Iran. I'm just thinking out loud. 213 00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:12,100 S1: That was at the UN, by the way. That was 214 00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:15,380 S1: Mike Waltz, our US ambassador to the UN and the 215 00:11:15,380 --> 00:11:17,780 S1: Iranian ambassador to the UN. I think it would be 216 00:11:17,780 --> 00:11:20,380 S1: better for you if you were polite. Uh, what's polite 217 00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:24,540 S1: about murdering 33,000 of your own people? But I digress. 218 00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:26,260 S1: I want to bring Tom Doyle into this boy. I 219 00:11:26,260 --> 00:11:27,740 S1: tell you, Tom was one of the first people I 220 00:11:27,740 --> 00:11:30,940 S1: thought of when the headlines just burst open on Saturday morning. 221 00:11:31,220 --> 00:11:33,980 S1: Tom absolutely loves the Middle East. I'm so thankful he 222 00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:36,060 S1: loves Jesus and he loves his word. And he will 223 00:11:36,059 --> 00:11:38,580 S1: go anywhere, anytime to tell people about Jesus. But the 224 00:11:38,580 --> 00:11:40,820 S1: Lord's really called him to work in the Middle East. 225 00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:43,220 S1: So he and his wife, Joanne felt called to start 226 00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:47,390 S1: a ministry in 2001 called uncharted. I absolutely love this ministry. 227 00:11:47,390 --> 00:11:49,230 S1: I have a link on the web page on our 228 00:11:49,230 --> 00:11:51,550 S1: information page so you can learn more. And then I've 229 00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:53,590 S1: got an uncharted story for you to read also on 230 00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:54,950 S1: the right hand side. So a ton of stuff for 231 00:11:54,950 --> 00:11:57,230 S1: you there. Just go to in the market with Janet Parshall. 232 00:11:57,790 --> 00:12:00,189 S1: Click on the red box. It says Program details and 233 00:12:00,190 --> 00:12:02,830 S1: audio takes you to the information page. Everything you need 234 00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:05,910 S1: is going to be right there. Okay. First I it's 235 00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:07,470 S1: going to be one of those days. I know I'm 236 00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:09,230 S1: going to remember it. I looked at Craig and I went, 237 00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:11,630 S1: uh oh. I said, are we packed? Because I'm not 238 00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:13,949 S1: sure that the, you know, we'll make it to dinner tonight. 239 00:12:14,070 --> 00:12:16,830 S1: So what went through your mind when you heard the 240 00:12:16,830 --> 00:12:18,030 S1: headlines on Saturday? 241 00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:22,710 S14: Oh my gosh, Janet, it just it's finally here. I mean, 242 00:12:22,750 --> 00:12:25,710 S14: just we've been we've been hearing about this for decades 243 00:12:25,710 --> 00:12:28,270 S14: that something was going to happen. And I just think 244 00:12:28,270 --> 00:12:32,270 S14: about the times we spent in Iran, in the incredible 245 00:12:32,270 --> 00:12:36,110 S14: people there, especially the believers that just risked their lives 246 00:12:36,429 --> 00:12:39,110 S14: day in and day out. And just anybody that thinks 247 00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:43,670 S14: they're not just praising God for this is just in 248 00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:46,430 S14: a dreamland. I mean, we had to write a book, Janet, 249 00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:49,270 S14: on funny things that were said at the UN, you know. 250 00:12:50,030 --> 00:12:53,910 S14: I mean, that'd be hilarious, right? And, uh, but. 251 00:12:54,270 --> 00:12:55,710 S1: It would be up there, right? 252 00:12:56,070 --> 00:12:59,030 S14: That's right. Be polite. Yeah, but I just think about 253 00:12:59,030 --> 00:13:03,429 S14: being there. Whether it was a young, um, college kids. 254 00:13:03,429 --> 00:13:06,469 S14: I remember we were walking through Esfahan one night and 255 00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:09,630 S14: there was some college kids that loved English. You know, 256 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:12,630 S14: they'd learned English, and and they were just kind of 257 00:13:12,670 --> 00:13:15,190 S14: hanging on to us, like, as we were going through. 258 00:13:15,230 --> 00:13:17,429 S14: We said, why, what are you afraid of? And they said, 259 00:13:17,429 --> 00:13:21,190 S14: the morality police are all over. And they had their 260 00:13:21,230 --> 00:13:23,510 S14: they had their hijabs down. But I mean, it could 261 00:13:23,550 --> 00:13:25,590 S14: kind of slip up just a little bit like just 262 00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:29,230 S14: barely anything, not even half an inch could be shown 263 00:13:29,270 --> 00:13:31,589 S14: of their hair. And they said, oh, we could be 264 00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:34,390 S14: taken in at any time. Just grabbed, thrown in a 265 00:13:34,390 --> 00:13:37,710 S14: van and they'll take us in for 40 lashes. And 266 00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:40,309 S14: I mean this just with the cane. They would whip them. 267 00:13:40,309 --> 00:13:43,520 S14: And I think about this and how they treat women 268 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,120 S14: there in Iran. Isn't that interesting that Israel had 30 269 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,400 S14: female pilots flying over the skies in Iran? Isn't that something? 270 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,400 S1: Yeah. Exactly. Right. Wow. You know, I'm so glad that 271 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,440 S1: the US ambassador to the UN pointed out the ravages 272 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,440 S1: that have been going on because, um, this is this 273 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,640 S1: is barbarianism. It's satanic. I mean, you and I can 274 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,440 S1: say these words because we're brother and sister, and we 275 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,520 S1: recognize really where this satanic spirit is coming from. So 276 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,040 S1: I was looking at a picture today of what happened 277 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,920 S1: at a bazaar in Iran. The this is the Republican 278 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,960 S1: Guard set it on fire. They closed the exit so 279 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,040 S1: that protesters burned alive inside the bazaar just January of 280 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,320 S1: this year. So, you know, 33,000 people killed by their 281 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840 S1: own government. By the way, when we heard stories of 282 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,880 S1: patients in the hospital, they'd come in, they'd shoot him 283 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,960 S1: in the eyes, they'd kill them, they'd been wounded as 284 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,400 S1: a protester, and then they would either burn them or 285 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,040 S1: they would shoot them in the street. And to watch 286 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,960 S1: the Iranian people's reaction globally this weekend, weeping and waving 287 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,440 S1: the flags. And in every, every response that I saw, 288 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,520 S1: every gathering I saw in tandem, it was the Iranian 289 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,880 S1: flag and the Israeli flag flying together. Talk to me 290 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,640 S1: about your your take on that. 291 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,120 S14: Well, you know what, Janet? We talk about the Babylonian captivity. 292 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,800 S14: When Cyrus freed the Jews and they went back, and 293 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,200 S14: now Israel saw themselves as just thanking, repaying that debt 294 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,880 S14: and thanking them for trying to free the Iranians. But really, 295 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,040 S14: if you look at the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia, ur 296 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,600 S14: of the Chaldees, that's where Abraham was from. That's right. 297 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,360 S14: By Elam. There. That is right in that area. So 298 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,680 S14: that whole relationship between the God's chosen people and the 299 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,120 S14: people of that area of Mesopotamia, the Elamites, Persians, goes 300 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,000 S14: back 4100 years. So that's all the way back to 301 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,640 S14: the first book of the Bible. And so people just 302 00:15:37,730 --> 00:15:41,650 S14: can't fathom how they're tied together. And I remember being 303 00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:45,130 S14: there the first time I walked by a Jewish synagogue 304 00:15:45,130 --> 00:15:47,090 S14: in Tehran, and we had a guide. We had to 305 00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:51,010 S14: have a guide with us. And I said, I'm shocked 306 00:15:51,010 --> 00:15:54,090 S14: to see this. I'm shocked to see that the Star 307 00:15:54,090 --> 00:15:56,490 S14: of David on this synagogue. And he said, oh, yeah, 308 00:15:56,490 --> 00:16:00,850 S14: we've been we've been together, uh, since the Babylonian captivity. 309 00:16:00,890 --> 00:16:03,210 S14: You know, we we wouldn't have any problems with the 310 00:16:03,210 --> 00:16:06,650 S14: Jews and the government doesn't like Israel. But, you know, 311 00:16:06,690 --> 00:16:10,690 S14: we're like cousins. We respect each other. And so there's 312 00:16:10,690 --> 00:16:14,370 S14: an affinity there between those two people groups that that 313 00:16:14,370 --> 00:16:18,130 S14: only is explained in the link that God has established 314 00:16:18,130 --> 00:16:20,370 S14: between the two of them, because in the natural world 315 00:16:20,410 --> 00:16:24,730 S14: it wouldn't happen. This is just something spiritually, their destinies 316 00:16:24,730 --> 00:16:28,410 S14: have been intertwined for for several millennia. 317 00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:31,370 S1: You went exactly where I hoped you would go, and 318 00:16:31,370 --> 00:16:34,170 S1: that is. I want people to understand that the people 319 00:16:34,170 --> 00:16:37,530 S1: of Iran are not anti-Israel by any stretch of the imagination. 320 00:16:37,570 --> 00:16:39,450 S1: You know, we think, you know, we're bragging about the 321 00:16:39,450 --> 00:16:42,650 S1: fact we're 250 years old. That's a pittance compared to these. 322 00:16:42,690 --> 00:16:46,130 S1: The Persian Empire is thousands of years old, and the 323 00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:49,210 S1: relationship between the Persians and the Jews goes way back. 324 00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:51,410 S1: Pick up your Bible. Read your Bible. You're going to 325 00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:54,050 S1: see this all over the place. So it's the government 326 00:16:54,050 --> 00:16:57,770 S1: that is now. It's the theocracy. It is the Shia muslims. 327 00:16:57,770 --> 00:17:00,690 S1: It is the we have to have the globalization of Islam. 328 00:17:00,690 --> 00:17:03,690 S1: So our Mahdi, our Messiah, can step forward. Well, I'll 329 00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:05,930 S1: tell you what. On Saturday, when I heard that the 330 00:17:05,930 --> 00:17:10,090 S1: Ayatollah Khomeini had been eliminated, I said he stepped into eternity. 331 00:17:10,090 --> 00:17:12,970 S1: And now he knows that he's been worshiping the wrong 332 00:17:12,970 --> 00:17:15,730 S1: God all along. And there are no second chances. We 333 00:17:15,730 --> 00:17:19,690 S1: are witnessing history being made more with Tom Doyle when 334 00:17:19,690 --> 00:17:21,570 S1: we return right after this. This is the time for 335 00:17:21,570 --> 00:17:23,490 S1: us to be praying. So get the facts. You know 336 00:17:23,490 --> 00:17:58,580 S1: how to pray specifically back after this. Talking to Tom Doyle. 337 00:17:58,619 --> 00:18:02,740 S1: Tom Doyle is with Uncharted Ministries, loves Jesus, loves Jesus's people, 338 00:18:02,740 --> 00:18:05,420 S1: loves to tell the good news about Jesus. And boy, 339 00:18:05,420 --> 00:18:07,340 S1: he's got contacts all over the Middle East. So I 340 00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:10,980 S1: was very anxious to get Tom's reaction to Operation Epic 341 00:18:11,020 --> 00:18:14,300 S1: Fury because, uh, these are these are the days of history. 342 00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:17,180 S1: There's no and if or buts about it. And you 343 00:18:17,180 --> 00:18:18,980 S1: and I need to be people of the book now 344 00:18:19,020 --> 00:18:22,260 S1: more than ever before, and really diligently in prayer about 345 00:18:22,260 --> 00:18:25,820 S1: the events that are going on. So an interesting coalition, Tom, 346 00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:27,739 S1: because we've got Saudi Arabia saying, yeah, you bet you 347 00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:29,980 S1: can use our airspace. And then Iran making this really 348 00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:33,540 S1: stupid move where they thought they would foment hatred against 349 00:18:33,540 --> 00:18:35,699 S1: the United States if they fired at them. So they 350 00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:37,979 S1: hit Bahrain, they hit UAE, they hit Kuwait. They had 351 00:18:37,980 --> 00:18:40,740 S1: all these other countries and rather than them going, oh yeah, 352 00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:42,980 S1: we join with you against Israel and the United States, 353 00:18:42,980 --> 00:18:47,060 S1: it's had exactly the opposite effect. Which raises the question, 354 00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:49,780 S1: is it too soon for us to say any of 355 00:18:49,780 --> 00:18:53,260 S1: this is prophetic? Because, you know, Iran's not Iran is 356 00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:54,859 S1: very much in the history. There has to be an 357 00:18:54,859 --> 00:18:57,620 S1: alliance between Russia and Iran down the road apiece. And 358 00:18:57,619 --> 00:19:01,100 S1: unless Russia steps into the story right now, I don't 359 00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:03,620 S1: think we're in the pages of Ezekiel 38 right now. 360 00:19:03,619 --> 00:19:04,460 S1: What do you think? 361 00:19:05,180 --> 00:19:08,100 S14: I don't think so. But it is interesting, Janet, when 362 00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:12,540 S14: you look at something like this, where good grief, I mean, 363 00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:15,540 S14: the ayatollah on the first strike, they get him and 364 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:18,900 S14: we were there in Iran and saw the church praying. 365 00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,980 S14: They would pray and fast in Iran for their leaders 366 00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:24,580 S14: a month, every year, and they'd pray that they would 367 00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:26,940 S14: get saved. And that didn't happen, that they'd be removed 368 00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:29,100 S14: from power number three. If that didn't happen, that they'd 369 00:19:29,140 --> 00:19:32,990 S14: be struck dead. And when I saw that story, I thought, wow. 370 00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:36,710 S14: Door number three. It happened. I mean, I can't it's 371 00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:39,629 S14: hard to believe, but, you know, we we kind of 372 00:19:39,670 --> 00:19:42,950 S14: struggle with that. Like, do we pray those imprecatory prayers? 373 00:19:43,109 --> 00:19:45,710 S14: You know, Psalm 68 one, May God arise. May his 374 00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:49,150 S14: enemies be scattered. The Iranians have no trouble doing that. 375 00:19:49,310 --> 00:19:53,909 S14: But all that they have calculated has backfired on them. 376 00:19:53,910 --> 00:19:59,310 S14: Their leadership is so thoroughly demonized they cannot even see straight. 377 00:19:59,310 --> 00:20:03,310 S14: And they thought the link to that. Their Islamic brothers 378 00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:06,590 S14: would hold them fast. But it has not. And the 379 00:20:06,590 --> 00:20:10,389 S14: people are sick of them are just creating havoc all 380 00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:14,669 S14: around the, the, the Middle East and the world. But 381 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:16,790 S14: you look at the people that stand up to object. 382 00:20:16,790 --> 00:20:22,390 S14: You've had Russia, Erdogan in Turkey, China, these are all 383 00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:25,510 S14: major players. In the end, I don't think we're there yet, 384 00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:28,670 S14: but it seems it could be just a half step away. 385 00:20:28,670 --> 00:20:32,390 S14: It's just not that far. This is already a regional 386 00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:34,190 S14: war when you look at it. It's more than two 387 00:20:34,190 --> 00:20:37,310 S14: nations involved. It's gone regional. We don't know how long 388 00:20:37,310 --> 00:20:41,190 S14: it will last, but it has. And so the major 389 00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:43,990 S14: players are in place. How close are we? Well, it 390 00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:47,630 S14: depends on how long the Lord tarries, but, um, man 391 00:20:47,670 --> 00:20:49,790 S14: has a lot to do with the gospel and unreached 392 00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:51,630 S14: people groups and all of that, too. 393 00:20:51,670 --> 00:20:54,350 S1: Yeah. Exactly. Right. Well, to that end, talk to me 394 00:20:54,350 --> 00:20:57,470 S1: about how the fomenting and the unrest in that part 395 00:20:57,470 --> 00:21:00,790 S1: of the world really becomes an open door for the gospel. 396 00:21:01,310 --> 00:21:05,510 S14: Oh my gosh. When I think about how the people 397 00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:07,670 S14: risked their lives, we were involved with a few ministries 398 00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:10,869 S14: that decided to get a million Bibles into Iran. Could 399 00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:13,070 S14: we do it? Could it happen? And it's just amazing 400 00:21:13,070 --> 00:21:16,030 S14: things that happened. It was like James Bond meets Jesus. 401 00:21:16,030 --> 00:21:18,630 S14: Some of these things that how they were got in 402 00:21:18,670 --> 00:21:20,910 S14: these Bibles, you just can't believe it. But they were 403 00:21:20,910 --> 00:21:24,030 S14: so passionate, the Iranians, to get them in. They were 404 00:21:24,030 --> 00:21:27,590 S14: willing to risk their lives daily to do this, and 405 00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:31,399 S14: they were hand delivered 1 million Bibles. They started to 406 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,920 S14: produce children's Bibles, and the children are reading them to 407 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,760 S14: their parents and evangelizing them. And those, you know, Psalm eight, 408 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,120 S14: the he's used the the voice of the the babe 409 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,600 S14: to silence the foe and the avenger. He can use 410 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,080 S14: the weak things of this world to to accomplish his will. 411 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,920 S14: And so the people there are primed. They are ready. And, Janet, 412 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,960 S14: wouldn't this be something? How would the news spin this? 413 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,240 S14: If all of a sudden Iran became the major launching 414 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,320 S14: pad for the gospel, not the major launching pad for missiles. 415 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,359 S15: Hmm. Wow. Wow. 416 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,680 S1: Stupefied. Well, I, I noticed this weekend all of these 417 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,640 S1: different pieces that were moving, and I thought Aslan's on 418 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,879 S1: the move. I mean, something is happening. I don't know 419 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,000 S1: if this is the end or the beginning of the end, but. 420 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,080 S1: Sleeper awake. This is not a time for us to 421 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,560 S1: be sleeping. It's also, and I've said it several times 422 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,760 S1: a time for us to be praying. You know, Christians 423 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,409 S1: get conflicted on this. You know. Wars and rumors of 424 00:22:29,410 --> 00:22:31,369 S1: war are a hallmark of the fact that our mailing 425 00:22:31,369 --> 00:22:34,570 S1: address is east of Eden. We live in a fallen world, 426 00:22:34,570 --> 00:22:36,570 S1: and a war is part of that. I had to 427 00:22:36,570 --> 00:22:38,130 S1: have a moment where I spent time with the Lord 428 00:22:38,130 --> 00:22:39,970 S1: and I said, Lord, is it wrong that I'm glad 429 00:22:39,970 --> 00:22:42,209 S1: that the Ayatollah has been eliminated? When I think of 430 00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:44,810 S1: his barbarian acts? And then I thought, wait, it's Purim. 431 00:22:44,850 --> 00:22:46,810 S1: You know the Jews, right? Haman on the bottom of 432 00:22:46,850 --> 00:22:49,730 S1: their shoes and stamp on his name every time he said, 433 00:22:49,730 --> 00:22:52,409 S1: when they're celebrating Purim. So is there a place to 434 00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:56,050 S1: celebrate when evil people fall and they cause the death 435 00:22:56,050 --> 00:22:58,010 S1: of so many people? You know, he's not willing that 436 00:22:58,010 --> 00:22:59,930 S1: any should perish, but all should come to redemption. But 437 00:22:59,930 --> 00:23:04,010 S1: sometimes there's an elimination process that God uses, and people 438 00:23:04,010 --> 00:23:06,210 S1: struggle with that because they think, oh, I'd rather have 439 00:23:06,210 --> 00:23:08,489 S1: Jesus by the seashore in Galilee. I'm not sure I 440 00:23:08,490 --> 00:23:10,609 S1: like Jesus and He's God in the Old Testament. So 441 00:23:10,650 --> 00:23:11,570 S1: talk to me about that. 442 00:23:11,609 --> 00:23:14,490 S14: Yeah, but these are real problems we have to live 443 00:23:14,490 --> 00:23:16,969 S14: with today and weigh in on. And we had our 444 00:23:16,970 --> 00:23:21,130 S14: board meeting today for Uncharted Ministries. And so we did 445 00:23:21,130 --> 00:23:24,930 S14: a live video link to an IDF soldier that's in 446 00:23:24,970 --> 00:23:28,850 S14: the area above Jerusalem in in the area they call 447 00:23:28,850 --> 00:23:30,490 S14: West Bank now, but it would be where the tribe 448 00:23:30,490 --> 00:23:33,889 S14: of Benjamin is. And he was just saying this, Janet. 449 00:23:33,930 --> 00:23:36,770 S14: He said, we love the Iranian people. We have a 450 00:23:36,770 --> 00:23:40,490 S14: lot of them here, Iranian Jews and many that have 451 00:23:40,490 --> 00:23:44,409 S14: come to live here. We have nothing against that them. 452 00:23:44,410 --> 00:23:47,330 S14: We are praying for them. And I thought I would 453 00:23:47,330 --> 00:23:50,330 S14: love to see here he is in uniform saying this 454 00:23:50,330 --> 00:23:52,290 S14: and I thought, oh, let's get that guy on the 455 00:23:52,290 --> 00:23:54,409 S14: news to to be able to say that, because I 456 00:23:54,410 --> 00:23:57,210 S14: think there's so many well, Israel does this and that. 457 00:23:57,330 --> 00:24:01,690 S14: They're praying for the people. They don't want people to die. 458 00:24:02,090 --> 00:24:04,210 S14: They want to get rid of the regime, and that's 459 00:24:04,210 --> 00:24:06,530 S14: what they're going for. And the world's going to be 460 00:24:06,530 --> 00:24:08,690 S14: a better place when they go completely. 461 00:24:08,970 --> 00:24:12,169 S1: Yeah, exactly. Oh, Tom, stay close to your phone because 462 00:24:12,170 --> 00:24:13,610 S1: I think I'm going to be talking to you an 463 00:24:13,609 --> 00:24:16,330 S1: awful lot in the next several weeks, because, again, this 464 00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:18,970 S1: is not going to end anytime soon. We pray that 465 00:24:18,970 --> 00:24:21,450 S1: it ends when it's supposed to end. But in the meantime, 466 00:24:21,450 --> 00:24:23,410 S1: there's an awful lot of praying and watching we need 467 00:24:23,410 --> 00:24:26,220 S1: to be doing. And I think getting particularly from this 468 00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:29,659 S1: Christian perspective on what's going on is helpful. Swim past 469 00:24:29,660 --> 00:24:32,460 S1: the fog of the alphabet soup networks out there, spend 470 00:24:32,460 --> 00:24:35,100 S1: time in the word, and then listen to wise counsel 471 00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:38,060 S1: from people like Tom Doyle. Love their ministry. Pray. Prayerfully 472 00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:40,100 S1: support them, won't you? I got a link on my website. 473 00:24:40,100 --> 00:25:00,900 S1: Thank you Tom, back after this. When we tackle tough 474 00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:02,820 S1: issues on in the market, do you find yourself nodding 475 00:25:02,820 --> 00:25:04,860 S1: in agreement?

And today was 485 00:25:39,380 --> 00:25:42,939 S16: like the best news you could imagine we received. All 486 00:25:42,940 --> 00:25:48,940 S16: day we've been crying, you know, joy, tears all day long. Well, 487 00:25:48,980 --> 00:25:50,940 S16: let me just you need to know a little bit 488 00:25:50,940 --> 00:25:55,179 S16: of history. In about 47 years ago, Iranians had a 489 00:25:55,180 --> 00:26:01,780 S16: revolution against the Shah of Iran. It was mostly propagated 490 00:26:01,780 --> 00:26:07,380 S16: on Iranian was the media was a lot of things involvement. 491 00:26:07,540 --> 00:26:10,859 S16: They want to shout out and they brought a religious figure. 492 00:26:11,260 --> 00:26:15,060 S16: Iranians were sold that information that this guy is like 493 00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:18,540 S16: Gandhi and he's going to change Iran. So it was 494 00:26:18,540 --> 00:26:22,750 S16: a mistake. People had no idea what Islamic Uh, Republic 495 00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:26,790 S16: would mean. They had no idea. As soon as they 496 00:26:26,790 --> 00:26:32,590 S16: took over, they started arresting, killing, eliminating anybody that was 497 00:26:32,630 --> 00:26:37,590 S16: against the regime. No fair election, no opposition. You're either 498 00:26:37,590 --> 00:26:41,590 S16: with them or you're against them. Simple. They call themselves 499 00:26:41,630 --> 00:26:47,110 S16: a government, by God. They say we're representing God on 500 00:26:47,350 --> 00:26:50,870 S16: planet Earth. So if you have a fight with us, 501 00:26:50,910 --> 00:26:54,790 S16: it's like you're fighting with God and according to their religion, 502 00:26:54,830 --> 00:26:58,949 S16: to their texts, if you have a fight against God, 503 00:26:59,270 --> 00:27:02,750 S16: you're subject to execution and killing. So they've been killing 504 00:27:02,750 --> 00:27:07,990 S16: people for 47 years. Last night when the attack happened, 505 00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:12,470 S16: it was the best thing we would think that could happen. 506 00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:15,430 S16: That was the best thing in my life. But then, 507 00:27:15,430 --> 00:27:19,470 S16: like this morning, I woke up and I heard him. Uh, 508 00:27:19,470 --> 00:27:24,110 S16: the Supreme leader has been terminated. And that was another big, 509 00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:27,470 S16: big news for us as an Iranian. That was the 510 00:27:27,470 --> 00:27:28,790 S16: best thing we were hoping for. 511 00:27:29,790 --> 00:27:32,470 S1: That's the voice I want you to listen to. Not 512 00:27:32,470 --> 00:27:36,350 S1: the pundits and the politicians, but the Iranian people. How 513 00:27:36,350 --> 00:27:39,750 S1: they are reacting. Isn't that wonderful audio. That's an Iranian 514 00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:42,270 S1: restaurant owner here in the Commonwealth of Virginia. And that's 515 00:27:42,270 --> 00:27:45,790 S1: his reaction. And it's being replicated all across the globe, 516 00:27:45,790 --> 00:27:49,630 S1: from the Netherlands to Australia to London to Washington, D.C. 517 00:27:49,869 --> 00:27:52,990 S1: people are gathering together and cheering and jumping down and 518 00:27:53,030 --> 00:27:55,390 S1: weeping and saying, I finally get to see my family. 519 00:27:55,430 --> 00:27:57,510 S1: Maybe this is the beginning. Maybe we can go back 520 00:27:57,510 --> 00:28:00,710 S1: to where we were before 1979. Well, you can bet 521 00:28:00,750 --> 00:28:02,590 S1: that I didn't walk. I ran to see if I 522 00:28:02,590 --> 00:28:05,429 S1: could get Doctor Shariat to join us. Because, boy, I 523 00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:08,190 S1: want to hear his take on this, particularly because there 524 00:28:08,190 --> 00:28:12,190 S1: has been an interference with communications internally in Iran. Naturally, 525 00:28:12,230 --> 00:28:14,109 S1: if you're a barbaric regime, what do you do? Boom! 526 00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:17,190 S1: You try to cut your people off from any outside communication. 527 00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:18,870 S1: You don't want the people to know that the world 528 00:28:18,869 --> 00:28:22,040 S1: is cheering them on. That they might have a new beginning, 529 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,879 S1: a new democracy, a new way to breathe free. And 530 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,720 S1: that affects, by the way, the broadcasts of Iran alive 531 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,560 S1: 24 over seven out of Texas into Iran. What's happening 532 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,199 S1: to that gospel message? So, uh, hormones, by the way, 533 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,560 S1: is the founder of Iran Alive Ministries, and he came 534 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,440 S1: to the United States after that, that revolution that was 535 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,600 S1: referenced in that audio piece, 1979 came to Christ. He 536 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,720 S1: was getting his PhD in computer engineering. Comes to faith 537 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,720 S1: in Christ, plants a church in California, hundreds of Muslim converts, converts, 538 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,920 S1: converts are they're still in operation today. Unique church of 539 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,360 S1: its kind still to this day. God then takes him 540 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,520 S1: from California, moves him to Texas. He starts Iran Alive Ministries, 541 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,760 S1: where he's lovingly referred to as the Billy Graham of 542 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,120 S1: Iran because he just 24 over seven makes sure that 543 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,200 S1: gospel goes out there. And he reminds us he's helped 544 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,240 S1: me fall in love with the Iranian people. Number one. 545 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,960 S1: Number two, he reminds us that that nation is being 546 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,440 S1: changed one soul at a time. And I have to 547 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,600 S1: tell you, I have wept more times this weekend listening 548 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,240 S1: to Iranians talk about how this is the best day 549 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,680 S1: of their life. But I was particularly moved when I 550 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,800 S1: saw a group of worshipping Christians with their hands raised 551 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,800 S1: in worship over their head, singing waymaker in Persian, in Farsi. Uh, 552 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,320 S1: it was just a reminder that the church is alive 553 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,479 S1: and well and oh, what an opportunity this might be 554 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,360 S1: for the gospel in Iran. So tell me when you 555 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,240 S1: first heard the news as a human being, as a 556 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,840 S1: brother in the Lord, what went through your mind when 557 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,080 S1: you heard that Operation Epic Fury had started? 558 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,240 S17: Justice. That's what I felt. You know, um, that justice 559 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,479 S17: is done and that the people of Iran, for the 560 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,520 S17: first time in many years, in 47 years of mourning 561 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,200 S17: and weeping, they're weeping for joy. The first time ever 562 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,120 S17: I've never seen the people of Iran that happy. Just 563 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,920 S17: more than a month ago, 40,000 people of our young 564 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,800 S17: people were killed and 40,000 families and the rest of 565 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,010 S17: the country have been mourning and weeping and hopeless because 566 00:30:17,330 --> 00:30:20,050 S17: the government was in charge. And if you come on streets, 567 00:30:20,050 --> 00:30:23,410 S17: they will kill you. And they were begging President Trump, 568 00:30:23,610 --> 00:30:27,490 S17: come on, why don't you attack us? And President Trump 569 00:30:27,490 --> 00:30:32,690 S17: would say, I'm negotiating. And people are saying, no, please, no, no. 570 00:30:32,810 --> 00:30:36,930 S17: So when they heard the attack, they all rejoiced. They. 571 00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:40,650 S17: They poured in on the streets at 2 or 3 a.m.. 572 00:30:40,690 --> 00:30:43,810 S17: Those clips that you see dancing on the streets, that's 573 00:30:43,810 --> 00:30:47,010 S17: 2 or 3 a.m. in Iran that they heard the news, 574 00:30:47,010 --> 00:30:49,690 S17: they came out and they were singing and dancing. 575 00:30:50,770 --> 00:30:51,170 S15: Wow. 576 00:30:51,690 --> 00:30:53,690 S1: And they're hoping and this is where it gets really 577 00:30:53,690 --> 00:30:55,610 S1: important for us to understand. You know, we in the 578 00:30:55,610 --> 00:30:58,810 S1: United States, as I'm sure you've observed, we don't have 579 00:30:58,810 --> 00:31:00,810 S1: a real good attention span. You know, I made this 580 00:31:00,810 --> 00:31:03,370 S1: point earlier today. We can get instant popcorn and instant 581 00:31:03,370 --> 00:31:06,050 S1: cash from an ATM machine. So boom regime should be 582 00:31:06,050 --> 00:31:09,850 S1: toppled and replacement should be put in place in short order. Well, 583 00:31:09,850 --> 00:31:12,530 S1: the president reminded us today that this could take weeks 584 00:31:12,530 --> 00:31:14,810 S1: before this is all done. It's a great start. Iran 585 00:31:14,810 --> 00:31:17,650 S1: is down, but they're not out. There's still more that 586 00:31:17,650 --> 00:31:19,890 S1: has to be done. So talk to me about the 587 00:31:19,890 --> 00:31:23,930 S1: communications because communication is a wonderful way to take the people. 588 00:31:23,970 --> 00:31:25,450 S1: I mean, this is not they don't have a militia. 589 00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:27,410 S1: They don't have an army. These are the people of 590 00:31:27,410 --> 00:31:30,770 S1: Iran that are saying, get this yoke off our back. 591 00:31:31,050 --> 00:31:33,570 S1: When did you learn that your communications were down? And 592 00:31:33,610 --> 00:31:35,770 S1: is Elon Musk going to step in and get Starlink 593 00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:36,490 S1: up and running? 594 00:31:37,610 --> 00:31:40,410 S17: Ah, yes. They turn off the internet just before the 595 00:31:40,410 --> 00:31:43,930 S17: killing and they have been in control of internet. The 596 00:31:43,930 --> 00:31:48,010 S17: only way to communicate with people inside Iran are with 597 00:31:48,010 --> 00:31:52,130 S17: those who have these Starlink satellite. And there are not 598 00:31:52,130 --> 00:31:54,530 S17: many of them. By the way, if the Iranian government 599 00:31:54,530 --> 00:31:59,170 S17: catches you having a sterling incident execution, that's what they 600 00:31:59,170 --> 00:32:03,210 S17: will do. So not many people have it. And our satellite, 601 00:32:03,370 --> 00:32:07,130 S17: before this attack, um, they shut down our satellite and 602 00:32:07,130 --> 00:32:11,530 S17: many and other channels that were broadcasting into Iran. Of course, 603 00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:15,380 S17: I'm negotiating with some companies to go on a second satellite. 604 00:32:15,420 --> 00:32:18,940 S17: But why did they do that? Because they're afraid of 605 00:32:18,940 --> 00:32:23,140 S17: the people. People cannot communicate with each other through phones, 606 00:32:23,140 --> 00:32:26,420 S17: through internet. And now they cannot communicate. They cannot receive 607 00:32:26,420 --> 00:32:30,780 S17: any messages from outside. The government was afraid that influencers 608 00:32:30,780 --> 00:32:33,740 S17: like us would talk to the people of Iran, and 609 00:32:33,740 --> 00:32:38,380 S17: we will unite them. We mobilize them so they don't 610 00:32:38,380 --> 00:32:40,940 S17: want to. Even people talk to each other because they're 611 00:32:40,940 --> 00:32:43,940 S17: afraid that they will talk and they will unite, and 612 00:32:43,940 --> 00:32:47,100 S17: they will make plans of bringing the government down. So 613 00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:50,620 S17: that's the case about people of Iran are waiting because 614 00:32:50,820 --> 00:32:54,140 S17: President Trump and even the crown prince told them, hey, 615 00:32:54,340 --> 00:32:57,700 S17: we are not done. Stay in your home. We're going 616 00:32:57,740 --> 00:33:01,220 S17: to take care of these people. And by the way, um, 617 00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:07,540 S17: they Trump and Netanyahu did not only attack the missile sites. 618 00:33:07,740 --> 00:33:11,820 S17: Not only the nuclear sites. For the last two days, 619 00:33:11,820 --> 00:33:18,420 S17: they have been attacking the Revolutionary Guard centers, and that 620 00:33:18,460 --> 00:33:22,780 S17: brings joy to the people of Iran because they say, hey, 621 00:33:23,020 --> 00:33:26,580 S17: you killed our children. Now it's your turn. Yeah. And 622 00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:30,060 S17: and they are waiting and they're very hopeful. Now the 623 00:33:30,060 --> 00:33:33,420 S17: government of Iran tried to stay on. They had they're 624 00:33:33,420 --> 00:33:36,900 S17: choosing a new supreme leader, but they're very weak. It's 625 00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:41,900 S17: possible that they will even be imploding even this week, 626 00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:44,220 S17: or maybe in a few weeks, a few months. But 627 00:33:44,260 --> 00:33:45,459 S17: they are on their way down. 628 00:33:46,340 --> 00:33:46,980 S15: Oh, Lord. 629 00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:50,140 S1: Willing, I cannot wait. You know, it was interesting. Secretary 630 00:33:50,140 --> 00:33:52,900 S1: of State Marco Rubio spoke to the Gang of Eight today, 631 00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:55,780 S1: which is just a euphemism for eight members of Congress 632 00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:58,340 S1: who have a higher security clearance level. So they get 633 00:33:58,340 --> 00:34:01,180 S1: to get briefings where the other several hundred members of 634 00:34:01,180 --> 00:34:03,980 S1: Congress do not. And again, he was asked, how long 635 00:34:03,980 --> 00:34:06,220 S1: is this going to take? And he, you know, again, 636 00:34:06,260 --> 00:34:08,500 S1: making my point that we just don't have patience here, 637 00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:10,540 S1: that this is going to take a while. And he said, 638 00:34:10,540 --> 00:34:12,230 S1: we have an agenda. We know what we're going to do. 639 00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:13,950 S1: We have plans and we'll let you know when we're done, 640 00:34:13,950 --> 00:34:16,590 S1: but we're not going to finish until we're done. But 641 00:34:16,590 --> 00:34:20,150 S1: that raises an interesting question about how I can't I 642 00:34:20,150 --> 00:34:22,910 S1: just have a little minor mind. Okay. His ways are 643 00:34:22,910 --> 00:34:25,270 S1: not my ways. His thoughts are far above mine. And 644 00:34:25,270 --> 00:34:27,549 S1: I look at the people cheering in the street and 645 00:34:27,550 --> 00:34:30,549 S1: I'm thinking, how do you how do you create a 646 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:34,030 S1: government out of that? Your hearts are passionate. You're cheering. 647 00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:36,750 S1: You know what it's like. You remember those of them 648 00:34:36,790 --> 00:34:40,270 S1: are alive before then know what life was like before 1979. 649 00:34:40,270 --> 00:34:42,469 S1: You heard that Persian restaurant owner saying, we told that 650 00:34:42,469 --> 00:34:43,870 S1: he was going to come in like Gandhi. He was 651 00:34:43,870 --> 00:34:46,230 S1: anything but. He was the spirit of Haman. And he. 652 00:34:46,270 --> 00:34:49,509 S1: It's a satanic spirit and it's been all over Persia 653 00:34:49,510 --> 00:34:52,509 S1: and now he is eliminated. But how in the world 654 00:34:52,510 --> 00:34:54,510 S1: do you bring a leader in? How do you make 655 00:34:54,510 --> 00:34:57,750 S1: that kind of a transition without more lives being lost 656 00:34:57,750 --> 00:35:00,470 S1: or not even having military to be able to do it? 657 00:35:01,469 --> 00:35:05,709 S17: Very good question. You're right. That's not possible by the people. 658 00:35:05,710 --> 00:35:09,030 S17: Just masses coming on streets if they don't have any power. 659 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,279 S17: So the scenarios like this, if the Iranian government is weak, 660 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,560 S17: the Revolutionary Guards are weak, and it's very possible that 661 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,279 S17: they will change sides and they will side with the 662 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,840 S17: people of Iran. That's, I think, what will happen without 663 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,919 S17: that if they continue their brutal attack, if people come 664 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,840 S17: on streets, they kill them. They will stay in power 665 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,160 S17: no matter who is in power by name. But they 666 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,759 S17: will do it. But it's very possible that we will 667 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,680 S17: see the downfall of the regime immediately. In a very 668 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,879 S17: short time. It could again, it could happen this week 669 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,879 S17: or in the next few weeks. But it will happen. 670 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,440 S17: But the only, the only way is that the Revolutionary 671 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,520 S17: Guards will change their site, because if that doesn't happen, 672 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,520 S17: they're going to be bloodshed. They're going to be long 673 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,720 S17: term battle between the people and the government. So I'm 674 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,720 S17: praying for that. That's it. Praying for the Revolutionary Guards 675 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,080 S17: that they will change sides and take the side of 676 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:09,640 S17: the people. 677 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:10,400 S15: Yeah. 678 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,320 S1: Wow. That is a very specific prayer. I'm so glad 679 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,080 S1: you gave that to us, because that's what I'm looking 680 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,920 S1: for is specific ways that we can pray. And again, 681 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,160 S1: that the Iranian people would remain hopeful. The president again 682 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,680 S1: making remarks recently within the last 24 hours. He's not 683 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,080 S1: talking about regime change. He's talking about creating the opportunity 684 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:33,040 S1: for there to be regime change. And the Iranian people 685 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,480 S1: need God now more than ever, and particularly as they're 686 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,920 S1: trying to create a new way to govern themselves. I'm 687 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,640 S1: so glad I have more time with Hormuz. We're going 688 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,960 S1: to take a break. Come right back after this. Iran 689 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,200 S1: Alive Ministries always been important. Now more important than ever, 690 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,840 S1: prayerfully consider supporting them. They need it back after this. 691 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,040 S18: Cheering the country they love and supporting those back home. 692 00:37:06,250 --> 00:37:11,090 S18: several hundred Iranian Americans marching to Times Square Sunday, hoping 693 00:37:11,090 --> 00:37:14,170 S18: the Iranian people will finally have a chance to be free. 694 00:37:14,330 --> 00:37:18,050 S18: Now that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and 40 of his top 695 00:37:18,050 --> 00:37:19,410 S18: officials are dead. 696 00:37:19,450 --> 00:37:22,690 S19: I was crying and dancing the whole day yesterday after 697 00:37:22,690 --> 00:37:26,690 S19: 50 days of torture that they killed so many innocent lives. 698 00:37:26,730 --> 00:37:31,370 S18: This Iranian-American NYU student came to the U.S. in 2023 699 00:37:31,570 --> 00:37:35,050 S18: and remembers being hit by rubber bullets during the Iranian 700 00:37:35,050 --> 00:37:39,569 S18: protest for Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody in Iran. 701 00:37:39,610 --> 00:37:42,370 S19: We would cover our faces because we were fearing for 702 00:37:42,370 --> 00:37:46,090 S19: our lives. They were my friends and my classmates being 703 00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:50,290 S19: taken away from us just right in front of my eyes. 704 00:37:52,530 --> 00:37:58,290 S18: Why? They say they're celebrating Khamenei's death and carrying the 705 00:37:58,330 --> 00:38:02,050 S18: old Persian flag, as well as the American and Israeli, 706 00:38:02,050 --> 00:38:04,530 S18: and honoring the protesters killed. 707 00:38:04,570 --> 00:38:08,090 S20: We are honoring all the peoples that were murdered by 708 00:38:08,090 --> 00:38:10,570 S20: the Ayatollah regime 50 days ago. 709 00:38:11,090 --> 00:38:13,370 S18: Hosseini was only two when she fled to the U.S. 710 00:38:13,370 --> 00:38:18,210 S18: with her family after the 1979 Islamic revolution. Her family 711 00:38:18,250 --> 00:38:21,810 S18: still in Iran, part of the oppressed Baha'i Faith. There's 712 00:38:21,810 --> 00:38:24,690 S18: not one person that I know that's outside of Iran, 713 00:38:24,690 --> 00:38:27,890 S18: that's Iranian, that doesn't have a family member or a 714 00:38:27,890 --> 00:38:31,730 S18: friend or, you know, even acquaintances that they know that 715 00:38:31,730 --> 00:38:35,410 S18: have been like, slaughtered. This march organized by the Lion 716 00:38:35,410 --> 00:38:39,330 S18: and Sun group. They want exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi 717 00:38:39,330 --> 00:38:42,129 S18: to go back to Iran and lead a transitional government 718 00:38:42,250 --> 00:38:45,690 S18: until the Iranian people can determine their own fate. 719 00:38:45,730 --> 00:38:48,290 S5: We want our brothers and sisters back home in Iran 720 00:38:48,330 --> 00:38:50,370 S5: to have the same rights and privileges we do. 721 00:38:50,410 --> 00:38:53,890 S18: Those rights, they know come with a price. Three American 722 00:38:53,890 --> 00:38:56,090 S18: service members have been killed. 723 00:38:56,330 --> 00:39:00,290 S21: It hurts me with all my heart. I feel bad 724 00:39:00,290 --> 00:39:02,850 S21: for them. But they are our heroes. 725 00:39:03,140 --> 00:39:08,779 S18: USA in Times Square. Christine Sloan, CBS news, New York. 726 00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:12,379 S1: It's imperative you hear from Persians themselves so that in 727 00:39:12,380 --> 00:39:14,460 S1: the fog of war, you don't lose what this is 728 00:39:14,460 --> 00:39:16,900 S1: all about. The United States is not operating at the 729 00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:19,979 S1: behest of Israel. If you follow this, and I hope 730 00:39:19,980 --> 00:39:22,020 S1: you have, you'll start following it. Now, if you haven't 731 00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:24,740 S1: up to this point again, Bible in one hand, newspaper 732 00:39:24,739 --> 00:39:27,860 S1: in the other. According to the ayatollahs, Israel was the 733 00:39:27,860 --> 00:39:32,100 S1: little Satan. America is the Great Satan. And their risk, 734 00:39:32,140 --> 00:39:34,660 S1: Iran's risk to that part of the world was also 735 00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:37,180 S1: a risk to the United States. So this a lot 736 00:39:37,180 --> 00:39:39,340 S1: of presidents have talked about, by the way, doing something. 737 00:39:39,340 --> 00:39:41,780 S1: And this is the first one who's actually done something 738 00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:44,339 S1: that's really going to bring about potential change. That's what 739 00:39:44,340 --> 00:39:47,420 S1: we're praying for. So two quick questions if I can Hormuz. 740 00:39:47,420 --> 00:39:50,940 S1: And one is, um, do you think that the, um, 741 00:39:51,060 --> 00:39:53,660 S1: prince of the, the son of the Shah, uh, who 742 00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:56,660 S1: lives here in the United States, is most qualified to 743 00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:58,860 S1: step in? And if he does, I know he doesn't 744 00:39:58,860 --> 00:40:00,620 S1: want to take it as a power grab. He wants 745 00:40:00,620 --> 00:40:02,779 S1: to feel like the people have duly put him in 746 00:40:02,820 --> 00:40:05,180 S1: that slot. And then the second part, and the most 747 00:40:05,180 --> 00:40:06,900 S1: important part of our conversation is, I want to know 748 00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:08,899 S1: what's happening with the gospel when you have something like 749 00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:11,620 S1: this happening in Iran. So talk to me first about 750 00:40:11,620 --> 00:40:13,379 S1: there are a couple of people stepping forward. You don't 751 00:40:13,380 --> 00:40:15,660 S1: want to replace a bad actor with another bad actor. 752 00:40:15,820 --> 00:40:18,940 S1: So do you think that the crown prince is the 753 00:40:18,940 --> 00:40:20,939 S1: most likely to step in, and would he be good 754 00:40:20,940 --> 00:40:21,660 S1: for Iran? 755 00:40:23,060 --> 00:40:26,460 S17: There are many people, but he is the one that 756 00:40:26,460 --> 00:40:30,420 S17: people of Iran are calling. And the strange thing is, 757 00:40:30,460 --> 00:40:34,340 S17: he was not popular outside Iran. The US government never 758 00:40:34,340 --> 00:40:39,020 S17: supported him. The US government supported mujahideen and other Islamic 759 00:40:39,020 --> 00:40:42,660 S17: groups all these years. But he was not supported. He 760 00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:45,620 S17: was not promoted by the US government. He was not 761 00:40:45,620 --> 00:40:49,100 S17: promoted by anybody. It was the people of Iran on 762 00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:52,620 S17: the streets that started shouting his name. And he has 763 00:40:52,660 --> 00:40:56,660 S17: become the de facto leader of this revolution. And people 764 00:40:56,660 --> 00:40:59,020 S17: want him. And of course, as you have heard, he said, 765 00:40:59,060 --> 00:41:00,660 S17: I don't want to be a dictator. I don't want 766 00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:02,590 S17: to be a shot. I don't want to be a king. 767 00:41:03,150 --> 00:41:06,310 S17: We want to. I'm just leading the transition. And if 768 00:41:06,310 --> 00:41:09,030 S17: you want to elect me later as a president or whatever, 769 00:41:09,030 --> 00:41:11,830 S17: I'm open to it. But that's not my goal. He 770 00:41:11,830 --> 00:41:16,469 S17: is very popular in Iran. And another reason that people 771 00:41:16,670 --> 00:41:19,110 S17: look back, you know, the young people who have been 772 00:41:19,750 --> 00:41:23,990 S17: born after revolution. Suddenly the last 3 or 4 years, 773 00:41:24,469 --> 00:41:30,549 S17: many documentary has been made about his father and his grandfather, 774 00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:34,069 S17: what they did for Iran. So the young people are saying, really? 775 00:41:34,270 --> 00:41:38,189 S17: That's what Iran looked like before 79. That's what his 776 00:41:38,190 --> 00:41:41,510 S17: father did, this. That's what his grandfather did. That's another 777 00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:45,509 S17: reason for his being so popular. They say this this 778 00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:48,910 S17: family has blessed us and we have not been faithful 779 00:41:48,910 --> 00:41:51,630 S17: to his father. We did bad. We need to repent 780 00:41:51,670 --> 00:41:54,549 S17: what we did to his father. So that's another reason 781 00:41:54,590 --> 00:41:58,510 S17: they trust him. Because his father and grandfather built up Iran. 782 00:41:58,910 --> 00:41:59,270 S15: Mm. 783 00:41:59,750 --> 00:42:02,149 S1: That's so good to know. But I remember when the 784 00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:03,790 S1: Shah was being treated here in the States, and I 785 00:42:03,790 --> 00:42:06,270 S1: think it was for lymphoma. And his wife, by the way, 786 00:42:06,430 --> 00:42:08,910 S1: lived in Maryland, right up the road from me for 787 00:42:08,910 --> 00:42:12,430 S1: years and years and years. So, um, this is going 788 00:42:12,430 --> 00:42:14,430 S1: to be a time for us to be praying about 789 00:42:14,430 --> 00:42:18,390 S1: the leadership, about perseverance and protection for the innocent Iranian 790 00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:21,430 S1: people when all of this is taking place, which raises 791 00:42:21,430 --> 00:42:24,950 S1: the most important question, which is hopeless, hapless and helpless. 792 00:42:24,950 --> 00:42:27,029 S1: I want the Iranian people to be buoyed by the 793 00:42:27,030 --> 00:42:30,750 S1: possibility of hope here. What is happening with the gospel? 794 00:42:30,790 --> 00:42:35,029 S1: I mean, when I saw those Iranians worshiping and singing Waymaker, 795 00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:38,069 S1: I thought, wow, the church is alive and well in Iran. 796 00:42:38,070 --> 00:42:41,550 S1: But if communication is cut down, how does this go forward? 797 00:42:41,550 --> 00:42:43,950 S1: And tell me about your sources in particular. What are they? 798 00:42:43,989 --> 00:42:46,270 S1: Are they able to communicate with you right now or 799 00:42:46,310 --> 00:42:47,750 S1: has it been blocked completely? 800 00:42:48,390 --> 00:42:50,790 S17: You know, it has been a sporadic, um, with our 801 00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:55,590 S17: leaders inside Iran. And the church in Iran is well 802 00:42:55,590 --> 00:42:59,080 S17: and alive. This is a very vibrant church, and we 803 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,080 S17: have been teaching the people of Iran, the Christians, even 804 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,640 S17: the last few months that things are going to get worse. 805 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,880 S17: But you are called to be salt and light. Don't 806 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,239 S17: forget that you are called to share the gospel. And 807 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,080 S17: after the massacre in January, we went on the air. 808 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,960 S17: We encouraged people, hey, this is the time many people 809 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,440 S17: are turning away from Islam that used to be fanatic Muslim. 810 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,000 S17: So the church in Iran is very active. They have 811 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,440 S17: learned not to be dependent on pastors. There's no church 812 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,640 S17: in Iran. There's house churches are very few. So the 813 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,560 S17: Christians in Iran are just depending on the Lord, on 814 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,880 S17: the Holy Spirit, and with or without a pastor, you're 815 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,960 S17: moving forward. You're doing what God is asking them. And 816 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,520 S17: Iran will be transformed, especially after this massacre. Many people 817 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,879 S17: are open to the gospel and we are alive. We 818 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,480 S17: are reaping a great harvest even now. 819 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:55,680 S15: Oh, Amen. 820 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,640 S1: Hormuz in a conversation that again went far too fast. 821 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,399 S1: And keep your phone nearby, because I'm going to want 822 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,920 S1: to talk to you a lot in the days ahead. 823 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,399 S1: Right now, how do we, as followers of Christ here 824 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,320 S1: in the United States, how should we be praying? 825 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,720 S17: Pray for and bind. We have the authority to bind 826 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,640 S17: the spirit of murder because that could still act. Bind 827 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,640 S17: the spirit of murder in Jesus name, and also pray 828 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,200 S17: for the Revolutionary Guards that they will change sides. They 829 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,120 S17: will come to the side of the people. That these 830 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:25,320 S17: are two prayer requests. 831 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,440 S1: Excellent and very significant and important prayer requests. So watch 832 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,800 S1: the news, keep informed, pay attention, go to multiple sources 833 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,720 S1: out there. But don't stop praying because this is history 834 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,879 S1: being made right before our very eyes. Thank you so 835 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,960 S1: much for joining me on such short notice. And we're 836 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,080 S1: praying for you. We're praying for Iran Alive Ministries, and 837 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,839 S1: we're praying for the people of Iran as well. And 838 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,400 S1: may the gospel change everything in that great land. Thank you. 839 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,319 S1: Thank you friends. We'll see you next time on In 840 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:54,840 S1: the Market with Janet Parshall.
