S1: Hi friend, thank you so much for downloading this podcast
S1: and I truly hope you hear something that edifies encourage, equips, enlightens,
S1: and then gets you out there in the marketplace of ideas.
S1: But before you go, I want to tell you about
S1: this month's truth tool. It's called Have You Ever Wondered?
S1: And I absolutely love this topic because if you're like me,
S1: going out into the night sky and looking up and
S1: seeing a million stars, don't you just stop and think
S1: about God? And are you not in a moment of
S1: awe and wonder or looking out over the vast expanse
S1: of an ocean and you start thinking, what is man,
S1: that thou art mindful of him? And it makes you
S1: wonder about the magnificence of God? I think that sense
S1: of wonder was put there on purpose, and this wonderful
S1: book includes a composite of multiple authors who have written
S1: from their perspective as a scientist, or a historian, or
S1: a mathematician or an artist, on why they all have
S1: this sense of awe through the work that they do.
S1: In other words, the heavens declare the glory. And as
S1: it tells us in Romans, we are really without excuse
S1: because his handiwork is everywhere. And this book invites you
S1: to walk through the chapters written by people who all
S1: have a sense of awe and wonder when it comes
S1: to God through their various disciplines in life. It's an
S1: amazing book and it's yours. For a gift of any amount,
S1: just call 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58. Ask
S1: for a copy of Have You Ever Wondered? And we'll
S1: send it right off to you as my way of
S1: saying thank you, because we are listener supported radio. Or
S1: you can go online to in the market with Janet
S1: Parshall and you're also on the website, consider becoming a
S1: partial partner. Those are people who give every single month
S1: at a level of their own choosing. You always get
S1: the truth tool, but in addition to that, you get
S1: a weekly newsletter that includes my writing and an audio
S1: piece just for my partial partners. So 877 Janet 58
S1: or the website in the market with Janet parshall.org consider
S1: becoming a partial partner or asking for this month's truth tool.
S1: Have you ever wondered? And now please enjoy the broadcast.
S2: Here are some of the news headlines we're watching.
S3: The conference was over. The president won a pledge.
S4: The Americans worshiping government over God?
S5: Extremely rare safety move by a 17 years.
S4: The Palestinians and Israelis negotiated.
S5: This is not.
S1: Hi friends. Welcome to In the market with Janet Parshall.
S1: Craig partial is with me as he is on Fridays.
S1: And I'm particularly glad he's here today because this is
S1: a pivotal moment in world history. Late last night, Israel,
S1: in what was a several month planned attack with pinpoint specificity,
S1: underline those words, is going after the nuclear capabilities of
S1: the regime in Iran. Now, it's so interesting because yesterday
S1: we spent an hour with Doctor Michael Riedel talking about Israel,
S1: talking about the fomenting going on in Iran, followed up
S1: by a conversation with Hormuz. Shahriyar an hour or two,
S1: and he was unbelievably prophetic that this moment was coming. Now, today,
S1: the Iranian regime is retaliating. We're going to give you
S1: an update on that, because literally the events and the
S1: story changes by the hour. But I think it would
S1: be good for all of us to turn to our
S1: dear friends at CBN news, where Chris Mitchell files this
S1: report from Jerusalem.
S6: Called Operation Rising Lion, Israeli warplanes attack strategic sites throughout
S6: Iran and in Tehran itself. Just after the attack began,
S6: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation and the world.
S7: This operation will continue for as many days as it
S7: takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of
S7: Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction. They backed
S7: up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.
S6: He warned Iran was on the verge of those nuclear weapons.
S7: In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has
S7: never taken before. Steps to weaponize this enriched uranium and
S7: if not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in
S7: a very short time. It could be a year. It
S7: could be within a few months. Less than a year.
S7: This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival.
S6: President Trump had given Iran two months, 60 days to
S6: negotiate an end to its nuclear program. That deadline passed Thursday,
S6: and Israel attacked on day 61. U.S. Secretary of State
S6: Marco Rubio announced the U.S. is not taking part directly
S6: in the attack. Trump posted on Truth Social. We remain
S6: committed to a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue,
S6: adding that Iran first must completely give up hopes of
S6: obtaining a nuclear weapon. The IDF announced its warplanes hit
S6: targets throughout Iran. Online videos out of Iran showed the
S6: aftermath of the explosions at nuclear sites like Natanz, Isfahan
S6: and others. The IDF also announced that it eliminated senior
S6: Iranian leaders, including armed forces commander Mohammad Bagheri, Revolutionary Guard
S6: Commander Hossein Salami, and air defense commander Ghulam Ali Rashid.
S6: The IDF and Mossad also eliminated several key nuclear scientists.
S6: Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei warned that Israel would face
S6: severe punishment for the strikes, and Iran launched hundreds of
S6: drones in retaliation. But the IDF announced most of them
S6: were destroyed. Iranian born global terrorism expert Doctor Amir Hamidi
S6: told CBN news what he's hearing from inside Iran.
S8: Many Iranians, especially major cities, may be silent in public,
S8: but privately there is a sense of quiet relief. A
S8: growing portion of society blames the regime for dragging Iran
S8: toward war and international isolation through secrecy of nuclear ambitions.
S6: Hamidi said many Iranians hope this could be the beginning
S6: of the end of the regime.
S8: They think you are out of time. Your weapons are compromised,
S8: your secrets are exposed, and you are. Collapse has begun.
S8: The time is ticking and see what happens. Everybody is
S8: hoping which it will be end of this nightmare and
S8: will be end of this tyranny of the Islamic Republic.
S6: On Thursday, before Operation Rising Lion began, Prime Minister Netanyahu
S6: prayed at the Kotel and placed a note in the
S6: Western Wall. It read from numbers chapter 23. He shall
S6: rise like a lion and lift himself like a lioness.
S6: Netanyahu ended his message, quoting Moses.
S7: Over 3000 years ago, Moses gave the people of Israel
S7: a message that has steeled their resolve ever since. Be
S7: strong and courageous, he said. Today, our strong and courageous
S7: soldiers and people stand together to defend ourselves against those
S7: who seek our destruction. And by defending ourselves, we defend
S7: many others and we roll back a murderous tyranny.
S6: Chris Mitchell CBN news, Jerusalem.
S1: So much in that story to unpack. So let me
S1: start by going again how this is a significant part
S1: of the globe. It is undeniable. I do not know
S1: how many world leaders are quoting Moses, the Old Testament,
S1: when they lead themselves into their stage of protection. And
S1: that's exactly what this is. Let me underscore that. Here's
S1: what we know as a result of last night's missile
S1: firing from Israel. Pinpoint specificity. Now, the nuclear program in
S1: Iran has been set back by years and years and years.
S1: That's number one goal that's been accomplished. Number two, the
S1: heads of the snake have been cut off. There is
S1: a chart out now that all but three of the
S1: main military leaders have been eliminated. That's why the third
S1: part of Chris's story is so important. And it's something
S1: we talked about with Hormoz later yesterday, and we're going
S1: to talk with him later today. This is an opportunity
S1: for the Iranian people to be free at last from
S1: the hobnail boots of the theocracy and the ayatollahs. This
S1: is a minute in history where Christians need to be
S1: on their knees. Now, specificity in warfare is not something
S1: subscribed to a barbaric regime. So now when the missiles
S1: have been fired back and by the way, and there
S1: were over 200 ballistic missiles fired today in areas of
S1: population in Israel, I am happy to report that out
S1: of the 200 missiles that were fired, only nine got through.
S1: There have been a few injuries so far. No casualties
S1: have been reported, but the difference is Iran is shooting
S1: into populated areas, and Iran and Israel has been, again
S1: with very specific firepower going right to where these military
S1: leaders general. This and again, it's changing by the minute.
S1: We understand that there's another strike from Israel to Iran
S1: as we speak. And the final third wave from Iran
S1: as of today has now stopped temporarily. Your thoughts?
S9: Yeah. This is not just a regional. This is a
S9: geopolitical and global issue. And of course, American interests are
S9: at stake. Uh, interestingly, the timing, Janet, Sunday, this Sunday
S9: talks were planned for Oman, which is, uh, a middle
S9: eastern country, uh, on the edge of the Arabian Peninsula
S9: between the United States and Iran. And they were scheduled.
S9: Now we'll see if anything goes ahead. Uh, but, uh,
S9: But United States is watching. We are not officially supporting. However,
S9: we are in prayer supporting Israel's right to defense.
S1: And we'll be back. God uses so much in the
S1: world around us to point to him. Our sense of
S1: wonder is really about knowing him. That's why I've chosen.
S1: Have you ever wondered, as this month's Truth Tool? This
S1: book is for all who have looked up at a
S1: million stars in the night sky and just wondered, ask
S1: for your copy of. Have you ever wondered when you
S1: give a gift of any amount to in the market,
S1: call 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58 or go
S1: to in the market with Janet Parshall.
S7: As Prime Minister, I've made it clear time and again,
S7: Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation
S7: to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel
S7: backs those words with action. We struck at the heart
S7: of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart
S7: of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment
S7: facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working
S7: on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart
S7: of Iran's ballistic missile program. Last year, Iran fired 300
S7: ballistic missiles at Israel. Each of these missiles carries a
S7: ton of explosives and threatens the lives of hundreds of people. Soon,
S7: those missiles could carry a nuclear payload, threatening the lives
S7: not of hundreds, but of millions. Iran is gearing up
S7: to produce 10,000 of those ballistic missiles within three years.
S7: Now just imagine. Imagine 10,000 tons of TNT landing on
S7: a country the size of new Jersey. This is an
S7: intolerable threat. It too must be stopped.
S1: Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the world after they started their project
S1: Rising Lion. This is a hugely important moment in global history.
S1: By the way. Just a couple of facts. Again, remember,
S1: this was a matter of Steve Witkoff meeting in Oman
S1: in the next few days trying to get Iran to
S1: come to the table and work out some sort of agreement.
S1: Absolutely did not do it. They've resisted it all along.
S1: They were given a timetable 60 days, the 61st day.
S1: Israel responds. This is what patience sounds and looks like. Again,
S1: Israel going in with precision to dismantle their nuclear program,
S1: something that they need to do for self preservation. I
S1: want to hear from Tom Doyle on this. This is
S1: the man who loves the Middle East, and he loves
S1: the Word of God, and he loves the people who
S1: live in the Middle East deeply. He founded uncharted ministry
S1: years ago where when God opens the door, he and
S1: his wife, Joanne go in and share the good news.
S1: And he's always got, if we can put it this way,
S1: boots on the ground so he hears from sources all
S1: over the Middle East. And it's very important for us
S1: to understand what they're saying, what they're thinking, what they're hoping,
S1: and how we can pray for them. So, Tom, thank
S1: you so much. I bet you're like me. We're one
S1: of those neck snap moments where suddenly you turn to
S1: the television and you go, Uh-Oh, here it comes. We
S1: all knew it was happening. I don't know that anybody
S1: saw that it would start yesterday.
S10: Oh my gosh, have we been hearing it was going
S10: to start for 20 years now? And it finally happened
S10: last night. Israel was masterful going after scientists, going after
S10: terrorist leaders who are billionaires, by the way, and, um,
S10: and going after some of the hard areas like, uh,
S10: I heard they just went after Fordo today in the
S10: second wave, and that's really good. It's it's close to comb,
S10: which is the radical seminary for Shiite Muslims, 50,000 students.
S10: And so you got you've got, um, imams and mullahs
S10: and you've got nuclear weapons not far away. That is
S10: not a good combination to have together, that's for sure.
S10: But I'm telling you, Janet, the people in Iran are elated.
S10: They have to be quiet. They can't go out and
S10: celebrate in the street. But I got a call this morning.
S10: We're talking with all of our friends in Israel, the
S10: governor of Golan, people all over. And then I get
S10: a call from Amir, who is in Esfahan, and he
S10: translated a couple of my books, and he was just
S10: so delighted at what's happening. He goes, look at what
S10: Netanyahu is doing. He's hitting the bad guys. He's sparing
S10: the civilians. And he said, we are ready for this
S10: regime to fall. And then something he told me, something
S10: so creepy. Janet, he said last night when Israel started
S10: to hit Esfahan, he said, we heard it in the sky.
S10: It sounded like demons and evil spirits crying out. And
S10: he played a recording. And you talk about creepy. And he's.
S10: I said, you know, Amir, maybe this is. Maybe this
S10: is Michael fighting the Prince of Persia again. Maybe God
S10: just peeled back the war in the heavenlies so you
S10: guys could hear what was really happening there. It's not
S10: just a war on the ground. It's a war in
S10: the heavenlies against good evil, good angels and evil angels
S10: for sure.
S1: Tom, I'm so glad that you brought that in, because
S1: nobody in the alphabet soup networks is going to report
S1: it like that. But I think we do ourselves a
S1: disservice as followers of Christ if we don't understand not
S1: only the geopolitical parts of this. The resource part of this,
S1: the UN is involved, but the spiritual aspect of this conflict.
S1: You know, I follow a whole lot of people who post,
S1: probably at their own peril, out of Iran, and they're
S1: writing in graffiti on the walls. They don't dare get caught,
S1: you know, keep going. Israel set us free. Israel, we
S1: can't wait. We support you, Israel. So once again, it's
S1: the delineation in so many of these terrorist regimes. Is
S1: this not the case where you separate the leadership from
S1: the people? You know, I follow Ayatollah Khomeini on X,
S1: so whoever's impersonating him posts his things out there. And
S1: every single day it's death to the Zionist regime. Death
S1: to the regime. How long do you let someone like
S1: this go? As they're continuing to build their nuclear capability,
S1: and some of the IDF reports are that they were
S1: literally months away. You can't show up a day late
S1: when they have nuclear capability.
S10: Oh my gosh, shouldn't they? There's no question what they're
S10: going to do. They're going to fire away as soon
S10: as they can. They've been promising it. And they've been
S10: using their proxies to just buy time for themselves to
S10: develop these nuclear weapons. So who knows? I mean, only
S10: God knows how close they were. But we were hearing
S10: it was close. And of course, Israel was masterful, making
S10: it look nonchalant. There's peace talks on Sunday. They knew
S10: nothing was going to happen at those peace talks. Nothing
S10: ever does. And they were ready to go. And did
S10: they ever surprise them? Wow. Well, I think they were
S10: just disoriented 100%.
S1: And I have to tell you, kudos to the president
S1: of the United States for playing it. So cool. He
S1: and his wife, Melania are off to the Kennedy Center
S1: to watch Les Mis at the Kennedy Center, and a
S1: reporter shouts out, Is Iran going to attack Israel? And
S1: he goes, who knows? Very cavalier. Now we know that
S1: they were in phone calls as early as Monday night
S1: coordinating with Israel. And let me point out, also, thanks
S1: be to God and may we always have this posture.
S1: The United States is helping defend Israel at this point.
S1: They are not going after Iran, but they are defending
S1: we have aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean. We have another
S1: aircraft carrier that's in the I think it's in the, uh, Adrian. Yeah,
S1: it's in the Arab Sea. So we've got them surrounded
S1: and they're offering their defense. United States isn't sitting on
S1: their hands on this by any stretch of the imagination. Tom,
S1: if I can, let me selfishly ask you to stay
S1: with me. One more segment, because now I want to
S1: hear what you're hearing from people in Israel. Thank you
S1: for telling us about Iran. But we need to hear
S1: what boots on the ground in Israel are saying then.
S1: So again, the U.S. is defending Israel to help her
S1: defend herself. May we always have that posture back after this.
S7: Our fight is not with you. Our fight is with
S7: the brutal dictatorship that has oppressed you for 46 years.
S7: I believe that the day of your liberation is near.
S7: And when that happens, the great friendship between our two
S7: ancient peoples will flourish once again. I want to assure
S7: the civilized world we will not let the world's most
S7: dangerous regime get the world's most dangerous weapons. And Iran
S7: plans to give those weapons, nuclear weapons to its terrorist proxies.
S7: That would make the nightmare of nuclear terrorism all too real.
S7: The increasing range of Iran's ballistic missiles would bring that
S7: nuclear nightmare to the cities of Europe and eventually to America. Remember,
S7: Iran calls Israel the small Satan. It calls America the
S7: Great Satan. And this is why for decades, it's led
S7: millions in the chants of death to Israel and death
S7: to America. Today, Israel is responding to those genocidal calls
S7: with action and with a call of our own. Long
S7: live Israel and long live America!
S1: Netanyahu, talking to both the Iranian people and the people
S1: of the world specifically, also to the United States. So
S1: Israel is in the process of dismantling Iran's nuclear program.
S1: And as a result, over 200 missiles have been fired
S1: at Israel today. Tel Aviv the skies in Tel Aviv
S1: lit up like the 4th of July. It was just
S1: a barrage. Three waves back to back to back. Thanks
S1: be to God. Most of them were intercepted. Nine however,
S1: did get through reports of a few injuries. No fatalities.
S1: Thanks be to God at this point. And so the
S1: United States, to repeat myself now, has said that they
S1: are going to stand to defend Israel. And as a
S1: result of that, we do have two fleet carriers in
S1: the Mediterranean, one in the Arabian Sea. We are providing intelligence.
S1: We're providing all the support we can to defend. That's
S1: different from us being actively involved in going into Iran.
S1: That is not something we have done at this point.
S1: We've also given them the chance to come to the table,
S1: and they refuse to do it again and again and again.
S1: That is a perfect picture of spiritual blindness. Tom Doyle
S1: is with us. He founded Uncharted Ministries. We'd love to
S1: talk to Tom on a regular basis, as he tells
S1: us how the love of Jesus is being spread throughout
S1: the Middle East. And if today's headlines don't tell you,
S1: that's what needs to happen. Awake O sleeper. So, Tom,
S1: you gave us some input into what you're hearing from
S1: the people in Iran. What about the people in Israel?
S1: You know, the people at Tel Aviv who've never been there?
S1: People need to know it's this beautiful Mediterranean town. It's
S1: filled with shops and restaurants and resorts, and it's heavily
S1: populated dozens and dozens of apartment buildings. The sirens have
S1: been going off all last night. They've been going off today.
S1: They have been told through the security system, stay indoors
S1: no matter what. They still have to be afraid. I mean,
S1: to watch that interception is wonderful, but sometimes they go
S1: through and then you worry for your life. So talk
S1: to me about what you're hearing.
S10: Yeah. If the one word that's, you know, summarizes Iran
S10: is hope, I think the one word that summarizes Israel
S10: is relief that the people are they just want to
S10: get this over with. I mean, they have been fighting
S10: the proxies for can you believe it, 615 days, Janet?
S10: Can it be and and here they've been doing that.
S10: And finally they're going after the epicenter of terrorism. Why
S10: not go to the beast and knock it out? And
S10: that's what they're hoping for. So it's hard. All of
S10: our friends have been called up, all the reservists, everybody
S10: that works with uncharted and people we work with on
S10: tours and that they're all called up. They're all ready
S10: to go, but they're relieved that maybe this could put
S10: an end to it. And I'm telling you, this was
S10: about as precision as it gets. Last night, I just was.
S10: We just sat there with our mouths open. The number
S10: of terrorists that they took out, the number of sites
S10: that they crippled, and and how the people must just
S10: be rejoicing. Because just think of the billions of dollars
S10: that's gone to this. And Israel keeps doing things. You know,
S10: they had the Stuxnet virus. They have all kinds of
S10: things that have put them back. And it always just
S10: doesn't end well for Iran. But they keep trying and trying.
S10: But they were close. And I think Israel feels a
S10: sense of relief that the leadership stood up and said, okay,
S10: we got to go. And believe me, Janet, being in
S10: Iran a couple of times, smuggling Bibles, there is Mossad
S10: agents crawling in that place, and the Iranians would tell
S10: you that. They would say, they're all over the place
S10: and we know it. And we saw the anti-aircraft missile
S10: launchers right in the middle of the street, right next
S10: to schools. I mean, they were so obvious and none
S10: of them worked. Nobody got hurt. And the Israeli Air force,
S10: it was masterful. And all that air fueling that they
S10: do with that supertanker, I mean, you know, get a
S10: draft of wind and they crash and it's horrible explosion.
S10: Everything went amazing. God was behind this 100%.
S1: And, you know, you talk about the Mossad. There are
S1: reports that they had, again, identifying the fact that they've
S1: been in Iran. That's why they are the Mossad. And
S1: they were already setting up ways to make sure that
S1: the the drones were dismantled. So they weren't ineffectual in
S1: terms of being launched. So in other words, this this
S1: didn't just happen. They didn't wake up on day 61
S1: and said, let's go get him. They've been planning for
S1: months and months and months. And I also want our
S1: friends to understand that. Again, I don't think there's any
S1: intelligence source or military source like there is in Israel.
S1: It's just it's an unbelievable system. But I want to
S1: go to you said about precision. So many of the
S1: military heads were literally gathered in one place for a
S1: meeting that was part of the way to get them
S1: in one place to minimize the collateral damage. And this
S1: rocket goes right in through a window in a building
S1: to where they are, thereby eliminating collateral damage. Do you
S1: know any other nation on planet Earth who does that?
S10: Who and who can pull that off? And you know what, Janet?
S10: With with the believers there when we were in Iran,
S10: they were telling us they would have a one month
S10: fast for their leaders, for the country leaders. And they said,
S10: we pray three things. I said, okay, what are they,
S10: number one, that they would get saved. Okay. If that
S10: doesn't happen, number two, that they get removed from leadership. Okay.
S10: What happens if that doesn't happen? Number three, that they'd
S10: be struck dead. And I thought, now that's a prayer meeting.
S10: And some of those prayers are being answered.
S1: That's exactly.
S11: Right. Wow.
S1: Tom, thank you so much. This was a last minute
S1: request you are so gracious to have come on and
S1: shared your perspective. I just think it's so important for believers.
S1: They're going to get spin on the news. There's already
S1: a palpable bias against Israel. Remember that every time she
S1: goes to war, the anti-Semites raise their head and they
S1: go after Israel. So the facts, the facts, the facts
S1: be a good Berean and test all things. We're going
S1: to continue our reporting on what's happening in this very
S1: historic moment in world history, right after this. Going through
S1: life with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper
S1: in the other is essential for each of us on
S1: our walk with Christ. And that's what we do on
S1: in the market. We examine culture, interpret the headlines, and
S1: look at the news from a biblical perspective. When you
S1: become a partial partner, you're directly responsible for putting this
S1: program on the air, reaching men and women across America
S1: with the practical application of God's Word. Become a partial
S1: partner today by calling 877 Janet 58 or go to
S1: in the market with Janet Parshall.
S7: Tonight I wish to speak to you, the proud people
S7: of Iran. We're in the midst of one of the
S7: greatest military operations in history, Operation Rising Lion. The Islamic regime,
S7: which has oppressed you for nearly 50 years, threatens to
S7: destroy my country, the state of Israel. The objective of
S7: Israel's military operation is to remove this threat, both the
S7: nuclear threat and the ballistic missile threat to Israel. And
S7: as we achieve our objectives, we're also clearing the path
S7: for you to achieve your objective, which is freedom. In
S7: the past 24 hours, we've taken out top military commanders,
S7: senior nuclear scientists, the Islamic regime's most significant enrichment facility,
S7: and a large portion of its ballistic missile arsenal. Larson.
S7: More is on the way. The regime doesn't know what
S7: hit them. They don't know what will hit them. The
S7: nation of Iran and the nation of Israel have been
S7: true friends since the days of Cyrus the Great, and
S7: the time has come for you to unite around your
S7: flag and your historic legacy by standing up for your
S7: freedom from an evil and oppressive regime. It has never
S7: been weaker. This is your opportunity to stand up and
S7: let your voices be heard. Woman. Life. Freedom. Zan. Zendegi. Azadi.
S7: As I said yesterday and many times before, Israel's fight
S7: is not with you. It's not with you. The brave
S7: people of Iran, whom we respect and admire. Our fight
S7: is with our common enemy. A murderous regime that both
S7: oppresses you and impoverishes you. Brave people of Iran. Your
S7: light will defeat the darkness. I'm with you. The people
S7: of Israel are with you.
S1: Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the dear people of Iran. By the way, remember,
S1: this is called Project Rising Lion. It isn't just the
S1: Lion of Judah that he's talking about. It isn't just
S1: that verse that he wrote on the piece of paper
S1: and then pushed it into the Western Wall. It also
S1: happens to be a lion that emblazons the flag of Iran.
S1: Oh Lord, may it be an opportunity for the people
S1: of Iran to really and truly know freedom. They have
S1: felt the heavy boot on their neck for 46 years. Lord,
S1: is this an opportunity for these people to be set free?
S1: Doctor Shariah is with us. Founder of Iran Alive Ministries.
S1: He was raised in a muslim family, came to the U.S.
S1: during the revolution in 79. Came to faith in Christ.
S1: Started a church, now started Iran ministries 24 over seven.
S1: The gospel is being beamed into Iran and Yemen yesterday.
S1: I just kept thinking about you so much last night
S1: when the news broke, I thought, wow, you were absolutely
S1: being prophetic. We were talking about this. We had no
S1: idea when it would happen. And a few hours later,
S1: Israel starts to dismantle the nuclear program in Iran. It
S1: isn't just about destroying their nuclear capabilities. This is an
S1: opportunity for the door of liberty and freedom to be
S1: opened to the Iranian people. You have sources in Iran.
S1: Tell me what you're hearing.
S12: And thank you, Janet, for allowing me to share, because
S12: you don't hear that in the news. I'm in touch
S12: with them. I just had a broadcast, a church service broadcast,
S12: and I was two hours in touch talking to the
S12: people of Iran I just finished ten minutes ago. So
S12: this is what I hear when there was negotiation going
S12: on with the Trump people of Iran were not happy.
S12: They were not happy because they thought if this negotiation,
S12: if the government of Iran says, okay, we won't we
S12: won't do nuclear, uh, you know, activities and development. And
S12: if they get, uh, in, uh, in a deal with Trump,
S12: they are in trouble. People of Iran, they did not
S12: want that. They said if this deal goes through, then
S12: the government will stay in power. We'll get some money. Wow.
S12: That's going to be very bad for us. They're going
S12: to keep the money. They're going to do terrorism, but
S12: it will not come to us. So the people of
S12: Iran were against these negotiations with Trump. So when this
S12: happened with Netanyahu, they started they they feel good. They
S12: feel hopeful. They say good, good. Netanyahu, especially when Netanyahu
S12: attacked and killed some of the commanders. You know, the
S12: the Revolutionary Guard commander and others, people of Iran got
S12: some hope today, I hear positive. And I say, how
S12: about the war? War is ugly. You could be killed.
S12: And they say we have been paying the price for
S12: the last 45 years with our with our lives. We
S12: don't mind paying a little bit more if we can
S12: get be set free. One of them said something very funny.
S12: I mean, interesting. He said, I said, aren't you afraid
S12: of the collateral damages of these attacks? He said, we
S12: have been collateral damage for the 45 years. What's new?
S1: Wow. Wow. And how true that is. How very true
S1: that is. You know, again, it depends. The world opens
S1: up when you have platforms like X. And I've been
S1: following so many Iranians today who literally have been spraying
S1: graffiti on walls saying, keep it up, Israel set us
S1: free Israel. And then there's a prince in exile who's
S1: encouraging the people to rise up as well. That's unbelievably significant. Now,
S1: I know that we're you're not a prophet or the
S1: son of a prophet, but what is the likelihood that
S1: this might be an open door for the people to
S1: finally throw off the yoke of the Theocrats and the ayatollahs?
S12: The probability of people doing it is almost zero. For me,
S12: it's it's nonexistent because the government of Iran is saying
S12: to the people, hey, yes we are. We have lost
S12: our proxies. We are being defeated in this war. But
S12: don't dare come to to on the streets. We are
S12: strong towards you. We have killed you. We will do
S12: it again. Thousands of you. If you come on streets,
S12: as we have done before, we will kill thousands of
S12: you on the streets. We're going to arrest tens of
S12: thousands of you and rape and torture and execute many
S12: of you in jail. So the people of Iran do
S12: not dare to take advantage of this time. The only
S12: hope that I see for the people of Iran is
S12: that there is a there is a division in the,
S12: in the government of Iran, and that's very possible. Janet,
S12: it's very possible that the leaders in Iran suddenly find
S12: this is a hopeless situation. And in a matter of
S12: a few days, this is very probable that they will
S12: leave Iran. Suddenly, tens of thousands of the leaders of Iran,
S12: both political and financial and spiritual leaders of Iran, suddenly
S12: will leave Iran and the government will collapse within less
S12: than less than a week, just like Syria. This is
S12: very probable.
S1: Yeah. You know, yesterday I asked you a question, and
S1: I kept thinking last night, over and over again about
S1: your answer, I asked you if Iran would basically stay alone. Now,
S1: you know, we know that there are backdoor bad actors here.
S1: We know there's a linkage, as you addressed yesterday between
S1: Iran and Russia. And we know that Russia is also
S1: beholden to China. So there's some very nefarious characters behind
S1: the scenes. But I ask you specifically, did you think
S1: anyone would come to the aid militarily of Iran? And
S1: you said, no. And I saw that born out today
S1: because Jordan has been allowing for allies to shoot down
S1: drones in Jordanian airspace, as has Saudi Arabia. Now, that's
S1: a pretty good sign to me that they're not going
S1: to be nations where they're going to rise up in
S1: support of Iran. In fact, they see the regime as
S1: problematic for the whole area. Am I right or wrong?
S12: You're so right. Iran has no friends, Iranian government has
S12: no friends, and China and Russia don't pretend to be
S12: friends because they take advantage of their sanctions. Whatever the
S12: sanctions are, the Russians and China says, okay, sell. Sell
S12: us your oil and cheap. That's our advantage. They pretend
S12: to be friends, but they're not. They will not stand
S12: with Iran and they will lose a lot. You know,
S12: with Trump, if they side with Iran, they will lose
S12: financially in a major way. And they will never do that.
S1: Yeah. Exactly. Right. So let me go back again to
S1: the people understanding that this is a real moment for them.
S1: The regime could be toppled. How that would happen, I
S1: don't know. But let me go to the bigger story.
S1: And this is the one you and I always talk about.
S1: And honestly, between you and me, it's my favorite part
S1: of the story. It's the spiritual aspect of this, you know,
S1: if we can't see God's hand in this, then I'm
S1: afraid that we're asleep. And Paul is jabbing us in
S1: the ribs and telling us to awake. The people hunger
S1: for freedom. You shared yesterday. And again, something I thought about.
S1: That's why last night's news was like, oh my word,
S1: how prophetic to be with hormones yesterday when so much
S1: was happening globally within the next few hours. But you
S1: said they got tired of Islam. Islam offered no hope.
S1: It didn't fill in the gap. So many went atheistic
S1: and then they got involved in drugs and alcohol and
S1: whatever would fill that hole in the human heart and
S1: that dissatisfied. And as a result of that, it's created
S1: a hunger for something else, for some one else. Which
S1: is why we are seeing that the fastest growing evangelical church,
S1: and I mean, that is a body of believers, not
S1: brick and mortar building of believers in the world is
S1: in Iran. How do you look at what's going on
S1: in the headlines today and not say that Aslan is
S1: on the move?
S12: The Lord is on the move, and I wish I
S12: could show you our graphs, the number of salvations we
S12: keep track every month, and it's exponentially growing in the
S12: time of hopelessness and war. The people of Iran are
S12: very open. And guess what I preached on today? You know,
S12: we had a live church broadcast and I preached to
S12: the people. We have 7 million viewers every day and,
S12: and and more. So I told them, I told them, hey,
S12: Israel is not your enemy. And don't look at today
S12: because according to the Bible, Iran and Israel will be friends.
S12: There's so many similarities, similarities between Iran and Israel. And
S12: there are so many promises, similar promises. So and then
S12: at the end, I encourage them. Don't be afraid. Bible
S12: says there will be war in Matthew 24, but he says,
S12: don't be afraid. Go out and share the gospel. So
S12: I told them, I send them out, I pray, and
S12: I commission our believers. Go out and be the light.
S12: The darker it gets into Iran that your light is
S12: going to shine brighter. Go. Love people. Go help people
S12: share the gospel. Because there's nothing like this. People are
S12: so open if they find out you're a Christian. Let
S12: me share this little story one. One of our leaders
S12: had had let so many people to Christ. I told him, what?
S12: How do you do this? He said, it's easy. I
S12: go to family gatherings. I go to parties. Where's the
S12: dinner party? I go there and I just stand up
S12: and say, hey guys, I'm a Christian. All I say
S12: I'm a Christian. People gather and they ask me about
S12: Jesus and I lead them to Christ.
S1: Wow, almost. Thank you so much for coming in on
S1: short notice for reminding us of the headline of the
S1: day is that headlines are being made in heaven. We
S1: pray like never before now. Blessings to you and may
S1: the Lord really impact through your ministry back after this.
S5: Okay.
S6: This is some.
S13: Short range systems. Stay. Stay here. You need to pull
S13: out a little bit. Okay. There's just a massive amount
S13: of fire coming to Tel Aviv right now. You need
S13: to get ready to pull it off the second. Get
S13: off the sticks. All right, let's go. Time to go. Okay, guys.
S13: Come on! Everyone move! Everyone move now! Stay with us.
S13: Stay with us! Pick up the gear. Let's go.
S1: It's important for you to hear that. It's one thing
S1: to get a cool talking head on the evening news
S1: to explain the story to you. It's another to be
S1: in the midst of this. So this is a reporter.
S1: As the missiles are coming in from Iran into Tel Aviv. Again,
S1: the distinction and there are so many here. Iran is
S1: going after densely populated areas. Israel has gone in with
S1: a precision strike and eliminated the majority. There are about
S1: three left, the majority of the Iranian leaders that are
S1: the part of the problem here that are part of
S1: this barbaric regime, and they have dismantled the nuclear program.
S1: They still have work to do. And by the way,
S1: this isn't going to be a 24 hour Desert Storm.
S1: Watch it on CNN. This is going to go on
S1: for a long, long time because Netanyahu has made the statement.
S1: And I think it behooves Israel to do this, that
S1: they have to do this until they get it right
S1: and they cannot quit. If you cut the head off
S1: the snake, it might just grow back another one, Craig,
S1: you've heard homeowners, you've heard Tom, you've got some of
S1: the reports. As we talk, there are some reports that
S1: Israel is yet again doing another strike against Iran and
S1: waiting for that to be independently verified. But tell me
S1: what your thoughts are thus far and why should we care?
S9: Well, first of all, I think there are two things
S9: we need to remember. Number one, the facts. And the
S9: facts are even. The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency just
S9: recently released a report and they said Iran leadership has
S9: been hiding the ball. They have. That is to say,
S9: the agency has just discovered hidden and undeclared nuclear materials
S9: that have been hidden by the Iranian government in three
S9: different places, without divulging it, according to the treaty agreement
S9: that they signed as a condition of not having a
S9: further war many years ago. So they have broken international law.
S9: Number two, what does Scripture say about the people and
S9: the nation of Iran? Uh, I would invite your listeners
S9: to turn to the last chapter and the last couple
S9: verses of Second Chronicles, chapter 36 and the first chapter
S9: of Ezra, which is right to the right of second Corinthians.
S9: Excuse me, second Chronicles in your Bible, because here we
S9: read the King of Persia grants the right to the
S9: Israelites to return to Jerusalem, to build the temple, to
S9: honor and worship the Lord. So this friendship, this very interesting,
S9: unique dynamic between Iran and the US and the people
S9: of Iran, even its leadership back then, not now, but then.
S9: And the nation of Israel goes back thousands of years.
S9: And Prime Minister Netanyahu mentioned that in his message. And
S9: we need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, peace
S9: of Israel, and the peace and protection of the Iranian people.
S9: They are not the enemy. The enemy are the Mullah
S9: dynasty and totalitarian dictators who are delusional in their hate
S9: toward Israel.
S1: Yeah. Next hour we're going to talk about these know
S1: King rallies, about the 1800 plus rallies that are expected
S1: all across the country, of which there will be the
S1: Palestinian paid Marxists that are going to be a part
S1: of all of this. And we're going to expand our
S1: coverage next hour. So either listen live online or go
S1: to your favorite podcasts or download in the market with
S1: Janet Parshall, and you'll be able to hear either of
S1: the two hours we do every day, anytime you want to,
S1: at your convenience. But I want to point out again
S1: that there is no moral equivalency here. Remember again, the timing,
S1: being patient, giving the opposition all the time necessary to
S1: come to the table they were supposed to meet in Oman.
S1: And Steve Witkoff, who is our envoy to Israel, was
S1: going to be there. We invited them to come to
S1: the table. The president this entire week said, we still
S1: want them to negotiate, to negotiate and negotiate. I found
S1: his take on that very interesting, by the way, because
S1: while it might have created a temporary peace and a
S1: delay in the program, it wasn't going to benefit the
S1: Iranian people. So all things work together for good. I'm
S1: actually not really upset that there wasn't any negotiating. I
S1: don't think they were ever going to lay down their
S1: arms any more than the PA was going to say,
S1: we're going to have peace with Israel.
S9: So when you.
S1: When they tell you believe.
S9: Them, when you negotiate, it's either in good faith on
S9: both parties, but it's never in good faith. If only
S9: one of the parties comes in good faith and the
S9: other has a bad faith attitude of going through the
S9: motions and having no attempt or desire to work out
S9: a solution. And that would be the Iranian government.
S1: Yeah, 100%. So they were never they were stalling. They
S1: were obfuscating. They were delaying. Like I said, when you've
S1: got the Ayatollah Khamenei every single day talking about the
S1: hateful Zionist regime, and, you know, he actually sent out
S1: a tweet today and he said, God will repay. To
S1: which I responded, sir, what God would you be talking about?
S1: Because I remember reading in Scripture this my help comes
S1: from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Indeed,
S1: he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
S1: The sun will not harm you by day, nor the
S1: moon by night. The Lord will watch over your coming
S1: and going, both now and forevermore. Psalm 121 one. That's
S1: the God of Israel. That is the God that the
S1: Ayatollah Khamenei should be referring to. He is not. This
S1: is a spiritual war.
S9: Just remember God, whether it's the founding of America, when
S9: Patrick Henry said that the God of heaven is involved
S9: in nation building, he's in the affairs of us as
S9: individuals and also the building and taking down of nations.
S9: So he God is not confused by this. He has
S9: a plan. And if you want to know the some
S9: details about his future plan, I would suggest you go
S9: to Scripture because it is laid out there both in
S9: the old and the New Testament.
S1: So again, if you're trying to look at there is
S1: such a thing as the doctrine of just war. If
S1: you haven't studied it, do so, particularly in these latter days.
S1: It's imperative you do that. There is an appropriate time
S1: for a country to defend itself, which, by the way,
S1: according to the Bible, is one of the primary reasons
S1: of government to protect its people. Okay. So they give
S1: them the full 60 days to come to the bargaining table.
S1: Day 61 Israel says that's it. And of course, all
S1: of their Intel tells them that they're probably months away
S1: from being able to pack their missiles with nuclear warheads.
S1: When that happens, the nation of Israel is annihilated. There's
S1: no gray area here. So to Israel's credit, again, with precision,
S1: with Mossad as hormones was telling us, having infiltrated Iran,
S1: they were able to set the stage to be able
S1: to go specifically after the military leaders and specifically after
S1: the nuclear bases, without going after mass density of population.
S9: Their offense was really defensive of protecting Israel, not slaughtering civilians.
S9: They studiously avoided.
S1: So what does Iran do today? They go after one
S1: of the most densely populated parts of Israel, and they
S1: just go after civilians. And I'm telling you, watching it
S1: in real time and you and I have connections in Israel,
S1: watching it in real time. When the rockets were coming
S1: and the missiles were coming in 200, that's a lot
S1: more than the last time that they tried this, except
S1: for nine. All of them were stopped through this unbelievable
S1: intercept program that they've got. It's not over. It's far
S1: from over. So if anything else from this hour of information,
S1: it's the mandate to pray. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
S1: Pray for wisdom for those in authority. Pray that the
S1: Iranian people would be liberated and set free once more,
S1: and pray for protection for the innocent Iranians and the
S1: innocent Israelis as well. Thanks for joining us, friends. We'll
S1: see you next time on In the Market with Janet Parshall.
