What does Trump really bring to the international situation?

¹³ “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. ¹⁴ Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14

Okay, let’s move on. What about international issues?

One of two interesting things happening on the international (world) scene is that Trump wants to do is put up tariffs to benefit the US possibly creating a trade war with China. He’s also been working on a peace program for Ukraine and for Israel.

Now, to bring in a peace program would be very good, wouldn’t it? We don’t like war, we want to see people living in peace together, and an end to this horrible conflicts taking place with the mass slaughter of people, destroyed cities, and all the misery which that brings.

Let’s start off with Ukraine. Trump has said that he is the ultimate dealmaker, and he wants the war to end. He says the war would not have happened had he been in power at the time, and he’s going to make a deal with Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war.

What has rather alarmed people is that he’s been giving away everything to Russia before even entering into negotiations, which is a kind of peculiar way to make the deal.

Trump says he wants to stop the killing, which is a good idea. He wants to stop the waste of money on war which we also would like to see.

But a lot of things seem to be suggest that he is selling out to Russia.

Russia is in a good place now, the solution at the present time is that Kyiv will be required to surrender 20% of its land to Russia which will be partitioned along an 800 mile border which will be heavily militarized. The peace will be secured by Vladimir Putin’s word as ‘a gentleman’ and a multinational force with no American involvement. Neither America nor NATO at large will be obliged to defend Ukraine should Russia attack again.

Starmer has offered the UK Army as part of the Defense Force in Ukraine. The Army chiefs are saying that to create such a ceasefire line would require between 50,000 and 100,000 troops, probably nearer 100,000 than 50,000.

The former head of the British Army Lord Dannatt told the BBC that if we were to deploy 10,000 troops each rotation for 6 months, that would effectively tie up 30,000 or 40,000 troops, and we just don’t have that number available .

So, there are some big issues here which politicians haven’t really considered.

Now, Trump wants security guarantees in Ukraine to be based on Ukraine signing over mineral rights to the US, in other words, Washington is going to provide Ukraine with a post-war security shield if Ukraine hands over 500 billion worth of rare earth’s minerals. If that is not agreed, there will be no protection from the US.

An article in The Telegraph said,

It’s all about money and power and, basically, the world was shocked when Trump and Putin appeared to have hammered out the deal without talking to anybody else, without getting Ukraine involved.

Now, I understand that Ukraine is not going to win the war against Russia and that you have to do something to stop the killing, but it seems that they’ve given everything away without any involvement from Ukraine.

In fact, Trump made a surprising attack on Zelensky this week calling him a dictator, saying he was to blame for the war, saying he has not held elections.

Well, you don’t hold elections when you’re in the middle of the war. Trump also included falsehoods about Zelensky’s popularity being at 4%, whereas a recent poll said it’s about 50%.

What’s interesting is that it is exactly what Putin has been saying. So, you’re finding that Trump is saying what Putin

is saying without questioning it.

After Trump rang Putin up on February the 12th, he said,

Trump said he’d love to have Russia back in the G7, and he agreed that Putin should keep whatever territory Russia has occupied by force. He said Russia now holds the cards in the peace talks because they’ve taken a lot of territory. In other words, he’s just justifying an illegal invasion of a neighbour’s territory as a way to extend your borders.

Once you do that, you’re tearing up the post-war world order and giving an encouragement to everybody else who wants to take someone else’s territory to take their territory knowing that nothing will happen to you, in China/ Taiwan, or wherever you like, won’t matter.

Trump’s representatives have held talks which were in Saudi Arabia without any representation from Zelensky or from Europe, and he repeated the lie that Zelensky started the war, which is incredible because Russia invaded, there’s no question that Russia invaded Ukraine.

So, what’s it all about? Why is Trump making these decisions?

There are rumours that there’s some compromising material arising from Trump interacting with prostitutes in a hotel room in St Petersburg, and in Moscow before he became the President of the United States.

Also, that Russia recruited him in some way when he married a Czech lady and encouraged him to go into politics, and that Russian propaganda helped Trump in his first election win.

That’s all been out there and Trump of course, and he has denied it, but there is no smoke without a fire and the idea that Russia has some hold over Trump is extremely worrying.

If that’s the case and what we’ve seen means that there seemed to be no moral compass in his dealings with Russia.

As far as I’m concerned, Russia has acted disgracefully as a rogue state, the country is deeply seated corruption under Putin. Its oligarchs have seized vast amounts of wealth from its oil and gas resources, while most of the people live in dire poverty, struggling with very poor infrastructure, with lack of food and lack of money, while Russia’s oligarchs live in absolute super rich luxury, including Putin himself.

Nothing about the dictatorship. the suppression, the imprisonment and murder of opposition forces like Alexi Navalny and others is right. And it seems to me like a beginning of a sell-out. If that’s the case, it’s very dangerous move and the fear in some in the European area is that this is not just American retreat from being focused on the security of Europe, but the emergence of a new world order, a world order in which Ukraine is simply being played in a larger bargain that the Trump administration is seeking with Russia.

Interestingly, (I hope you don’t mind me going on about politics but I find it interesting) so you can get the point, Marco Rubio, who is Trump’s Secretary of State told Fox News last week that

Now, if you get through Rubio’s difficult language there, what he’s talking about – a unipolar world – is what Putin has said. That is because United States have become so powerful since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the end of the Cold War, so Putin is saying we need to get away from this unipolar world in which America is the boss and, instead, have a multi-polar world in which there are other areas of power and influence.

Of course, Russia is one of them, China is another one, working towards this multiple centres of power model with Russia as a central player. Russia has been working through what is called the BRICS Alliance which includes: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa to create this alternative World Order program with China looking after South East Asia, Brazil controlling South America, India in charge of Central Asia, and South Africa overseeing Africa.

Now, they’re bring in Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates to extend the block into the Middle East and North Africa while Saudi Arabia is thinking of joining the block. Therefore, you have this powerful block coming together in competition with the Western block based on NATO countries, North America, the European Union as well as some countries in East Asia, Japan, South Korea, Australia and other pro-American countries in the East.

So, you’ve got these blocks of Nations coming together and, what occurs to me is, in the the Bible, it appears that you’re going to have a serious situation in the end of the time when there are going to be blocks of nations which will come together as one.

Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, ³ and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. ⁴ I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. ⁵ Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; ⁶ Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you. Ezekiel 38:1-6

And the question which I’m asking is: ‘Is Trump actually paving the way for the eventual union of these blocks through his friendship with Russia and what’s taking place now Russia and Ukraine?

Does anyone know there was a globalist organization some years ago called The Club of Rome. The Club of Rome divided the world up into 10 regions and said that these regions should have power and influence over the geographies they covered, and that they should all function together under a kind of world umbrella organisation which would bring in an alternative form of World Government.

Can you see anything in the Bible which might suggest that that is prophetic? Yes! Look at Revelation 17 and verse 12. It says:

“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet,

In other words, these horns or powers were not in existence at the time when John was given the Book of Revelation in revelation

but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. ¹³ These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

In other words, these powers are going to be there when the beast (the Antichrist) comes along. So, they’re going to have something to do with what will be coming into being at the end of the age. They’re of one mind and they will give their power and authority to the Beast.

¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:12-14

Okay, so you have these blocks of nations, 10 kings, and they come together at the end of days and give their power to the Beast or the Antichrist who arises out of them.

I’m not saying this is definitely what’s happening, but it just occurs to me that while they’re talking about going from the unipolar world to the multipolar world, that could be what’s taking place around us.

So, you are going to have an alternative way to the sort of left leaning way you’re now having, a nationalist way which is pushing towards this end time goal. But this still represents two sides of the same coin if you like, and the end of it will be something which is anti-Christian.

Basically, the characters behind it are anti-Christian; certainly, Putin is anti-Christian and, although Trump has some aspects which say he aligns with certain Christian values, I think that, ultimately, he is not a Christian, and he could easily move into the anti-Christian agenda pretty quickly.

Okay so let’s move on. What about Europe?

Now, Europe’s s AB bind about all this uh particularly with what Trump has said about NATO because Europe relies on NATO for its defence against Russia, and the question is: ‘Is the US pulling out of NATO or its defence of Europe? Probably not at the moment, but there was a very interesting meeting recently in which JD Vance, the US Vice President, spoke at the Munich Security Conference (a week or so ago).

He said that Europe needs to get its act together, that the real threat to Europe is not Russia but unlimited immigration. He then really castigated Europe for being on the the left side of my diagram if you like, and pressed Europe to move to the right side.

He spoke about the growing right-wing influence in European politics happening mainly because of immigration. Today there are elections in Germany and the right-wing AFD party is likely to do very well. In France you have the National Rally Party doing very well, and in the UK we now have the Reform Party which has more support of apparently than Labour and the Conservatives parties, either of them.

So, we have this tendency which is moving in the other direction. Again, if you consider my thesis/antithesis formulation (based on Hegel’s Dialectics), what’s going to come out of it something new.

Vance then referred to the terrorist attack in Munich which happened that week, and he said,

He noted the number of European voters now turning against political leaders responsible for this and going for right-wing parties like Reform, the National Rally and AF, Etc. He also noticed that the left establishment is putting up rules to suppress the right by calling them ‘far-right’ and ‘Nazis’, by making them face censorship. They are being put down by the establishment.

One of the things which he also said was that free speech is in retreat in the UK. Trump’s Vice President spoke about the threat to free speech in the UK and went on to say what no democracy, American, German or European will survive by telling millions of their voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief are invalid or unworthy, by dismissing the people or worse, by shutting down media, shutting down elections (Romania), shutting down people out.

Such political process protects nothing, it is in fact the way to stifle democracy. So, do you see that there are things happening in our society which are moving in that direction?

I spoke the other week about one of the laws which they bring in to stop you speaking about controversial issues in public, at work, or in a pub or a public place, speech which might offend somebody else.

You might offend somebody of an LGBT persuasion if you say there’s something wrong with homosexuality, you might offend a Muslim if you criticize the Quran or Islam.

So, you mustn’t speak out about these things because you might cause offense

Apparently, they now want to censor our or control our Internet and mobile phones using AI to check out what we’re saying on Facebook and so on, for our good allegedly, so that you can protect people from bad people wanting to spread hate speech and from those spreading bad propaganda.

But it could also be to stop you from saying some of the things which we’re saying. And, generally, you can see that there is a way in which free speech is being attacked.

And as the government becomes more and more unpopular, they’re not going to want you saying things which are against them.

One has to says that the government is becoming increasingly unpopular in this country. Most people don’t like this government perception that it’s on side with the UK population: a tax on schools, farmers, businesses closing down, our institutions forcing children to go to mostly useless public education that indoctrinates population with anti-British and anti-Christian propaganda most of the time.

The government is forcing farms to close down with no concern about how to feed the nation.

Businesses are closing with many people finding it’s not worth putting the aggravation and hours into work and end up being taxed out of existence and benefits going to new arrivals with the settled population missing out.

And, above all, preferential treatment being given to Muslims, money being set

aside by the government for mosques and their protection but not for churches, and different ways in which criminal activity, particularly the grooming gangs, is treated because they don’t want to offend Muslims and cause problems in multicultural relations by criminalizing people who are doing some pretty unspeakable things.

They want to bring in an islamophobia law. Do you know about the islamophobia law? It says that islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets ‘expressions of Muslimness’ or ‘perceived Muslimness’. In other words, you mustn’t target Muslimness or perceive Muslimness.

The word ‘perceived’ is interesting because that means that, if you’re a Muslim and they say that you’re in some way attacking Islam or attacking them as Muslims, then you could be found guilty of islamophobia. It is a very vague definition, it has to do with defining how people feel, how their feelings are being hurt by having their faith criticized.

So, do you get the point where you can’t criticize people for some of the Muslim activity, you can’t criticize the Quran or Muhammad? Probably.

According to the proposed law, you can’t. And you end up something like the Dimmi laws.

Now, you know I wrote a pamphlet called The Quran or the Bible of which we have got copies and which tells you why the Quran was not what the Muslims say it is, and why Muhammad is not the prophet of Islam. You can take a copy afterwards. I would rather you pay for it because it does cost 50p to produce them. It’s on the table at front.

But, basically, we’re saying that there are legitimate issues which we have in criticizing Islam, just as they criticize Christianity, and we have answers to many of the critics of Christianity.

If you put this to a Muslim, you’ll find he doesn’t have answers to them because, basically, there are no answers, there’s no evidence even for the existence of Muhammad, certainly not for a Muhammad who might have lived in Mecca, because there was no evidence that Mecca even was a city at the time when he was supposed to live there.

And the evidence seems to be that most of it was made up either in Syria or in Iraq and centred around a city called Petra in Jordan. But that’s another story and I won’t get into it now.

However, if you say that to a Muslim, he’s going to be mortally offended. And if you hear Jay Smith who has spoken here before, he gives you a lot of evidence why the Muslim’s claim is to be criticized for sure.

But the government is now saying that you mustn’t criticize it and what you’re heading towards is is something called the Dhimmi laws. Has anybody heard what a Dhimmi is?

In traditional Muslim society there was a social setup in which the Muslims were the leaders and, under them, they had certain protected peoples. The two peoples who were protected were the Christians and the Jews. They could have their religions, they could have their churches and their synagogues, but they had to make sure that they were under the Muslims. They were subject to certain laws which meant that they were second-class citizens.

They didn’t have the same rights as Muslims and they were not allowed to offend Muslims in any way. I’ve got a list of regulations that govern the lives of Christians and Jews in Damascus under Ottoman rule in the 19th century.

A Dhimmi could not criticize the Quran or claim that it has been altered, he could not say anything derogatory about the prophet or Islam. He could not attempt to change a Muslim’s religion, rob him of his fortune, or make an attempt on his life.

During a time of war a Dhimmi could not help the enemies of Islam. Furthermore, Dhimmis were required to wear clothes of a different colour than Muslim clothes. When at their places of worship the loud ringing of bells was forbidden. When reading their scriptures they could not raise their voices; they had to refrain from drinking wine in public.

Their homes were not allowed to be higher than Muslims homes. Dhimmis were not to bury their dead in secrecy or express their grief in loud tones by raising their voices. Dhimmis were not allowed to ride on a horse but only on mules and donkeys. Any non-compliance with the above recommendations was considered a breach of the covenant of Dhimmi which made a Dhimmi liable to insults and sometimes led to his death by orders of the government authorities in Damascus.

Another example of Christian humiliation occurred in Damascus. When leaving his home, a Christian was required to have a sack slung over his shoulder in order to be ready to accompany a Muslim on his way to the market and carry in his sack the groceries that the Muslim boss required of him. Quite often, such a Christian might spend most of his day in forced and degrading service to unknown Muslims he had met by chance.

And these events multiplied it was the custom among Christian families when visiting their friends to inquire ‘How many times were you forced today to carry the bag for the Muslims you had encountered on your way home, how many times were you slapped by the Muslims?‘

That was what happened under Dhimmi law. Now, the other day, Barbara and I saw this on her YouTube programme. There was a Muslim preacher (unfortunately, I didn’t get hold of it so I can’t tell you the reference to it), but it was a Muslim preacher somewhere in England, I think it was in Birmingham, speaking about what would happen when the Muslims eventually take over Britain and enforce Sharia law upon us.

And he said that all these things would be required you. Christians would have to be second-class citizens, you’d have to give your coats to us if we ask them of you, you’d have to walk on the gutters if we ask when going down the street, and you would have to be inferior to the Muslims.

If the Muslim needed someone to stay, you’d have to, they could knock on your doors and sleep in your bed and you’d have to sleep on the floor.

He was telling this to his congregation. They were laughing and cheering, and he was saying that in Birmingham – not in somewhere in the Middle East – and saying that’s a programme.

Now, should we be allowed to criticize that? Should be allowed to say that’s not what we want? In fact, should he be allowed to say it? Yet, under the kind of preferential system today, we’re seeing that we are losing our our freedom to speak out about Christianity, and Muslims are getting more and more insistent on their freedom to ultimately take control and oppress those who are believers in Yeshua.

The government is actually playing a very dangerous game in this. They’re allowing Muslims to get away with this. They’re allowing Muslims to base their religion on things which are said a lot of them from what are called the Hadith, sayings which are not in the Quran. They are sayings, according to Jay Smith put together about 200 to 300 years after Muhammad was supposed to have lived somewhere in Central Asia. So, probably, had nothing to do with Muhammad even if he existed.

The Hadith are additional things to Islam but they’re treated as Holy Scripture which you have to obey. The government is playing a very dangerous game. They want Muslim votes, and they’re willing to give up our freedom in order to get them. In the process, they’re going to lose our votes.

Therefore, it may not be very clever on their part, but we’re seeing that there is this program which is at work. For its part, the established church is no help at all in this conflict, it is compromised, ridden by abuse scandals, submitting to all kinds of wrong things on the list which I gave above, especially woke and multifaith ideas, hopelessly compromised biblically, denying the central doctrines of the Christian faith, including Creation, the Miracles, the Ten Commandments, especially relating to family life and sexuality, the deity of Jesus, even the meaning of the death and resurrection of Jesus and certainly His Second Coming of Jesus. All of those things are being compromised by the leadership of much of the church.

I saw a talk given by a man called Gavin Ashenden who was one time the Chaplain to the Queen with an Evangelical viewpoint but he’s become so fed up with the Anglican Church that he’s left the Anglican church and joined the Roman Catholic Church, which is a big mistake. But a lot of what he says is very insightful.

One of the things he said in this talk was that the selection process for the higher echelons of the Anglican Church is all in the hands of liberals. Therefore, they’re not going to appoint anybody who is of an Evangelical persuasion, they’re going to continue to put in place people that are liberal ecumenical, pro LGBT, etc, etc, It’s kind of a closed shop.

A lot of people are praying the next Archbishop can be Evangelical. Well, miracles can happen, but I think it’s most likely that it could well be a woman and it most almost certainly will be a liberal who will go down this this same self-destructive path.

They want to have money given for reparations for slavery, while churches are closing down, parishes in decline with no evangelism and just a social gospel. So, no wonder when we go down the road just where we live on a Friday and we see Muslims queuing up outside the mosque to get in and we see the church is emptying, it’s a very bad sign for this country.

The reason the church has abandoned the Gospel. Now, here, we haven’t abandoned the Gospel and hopefully, you know we have a reasonably full church here, a small church but just a handful of people can do great things for the Lord, and we need to stand up for Jesus in these last days because it’s not going to get any better. And I have to say that we’re living in a time when you have this huge rise of evil forces on all sides.

I haven’t even got into this and I think as time’s going on. I’ll leave Israel for tonight because I did speak on Israel two weeks ago, but again, in Israel of course, we see a desperately dangerous situation with the hostages being released and the displays of terror from Hamas.

There are despicably evil things taking place there, Israel having to release hundreds, thousands of terrorists just to get a handful of Jewish people back from the horrible captivity they’ve been subjected to in in Gaza. And I will just say this. On the one of the releases which happened the other week, Hamas appeared on the stage and they had a large number of men brandishing machine guns in front of a slogan which said ‘Where the flood, the wars next day‘.

You might not understand what they meant by ‘Where the flood…‘ They are referring to the October the 7th event which they described as the Al Aqsa Flood, the attempt to remove Israel from the Al Aqsa mosque, and to take over Jerusalem, to take over the whole land.

They said that we are the wars next day, in other words, this is not about peace. There maybe a ceasefire in place, but we’re going to carry on until we get our our goal, which is the destruction of the State of Israel. And that, unfortunately, remains the situation in the Middle East. Israel has won a great victory in some ways in pushing back the forces of darkness, destroying terrorism in Lebanon and also destroying lot of the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, but they’re still in very dangerous situation.

You have Trump’s plan to redevelop Gaza. That’s not going to happen. Well, it may happen but whether it’s going to happen his way is another question. But we have Israel really needing our prayers at this time.

One report I read said that it’s very likely that Israel will attack Iran’s nuclear facilities in the coming days. If they do that, it could set off another real explosion in the Middle East, even a possible move towards the Gog and Magog War, especially if Russia is released from its present situation in Ukraine.

But I’m not going to go into much more detail about Israel, just to say that, obviously, what’s happening there is of great concern if you’re concerned with the end times and the prophecies of the Bible. The battle is over Jerusalem the ‘burdensome stone’, the place to which Jesus is coming back to very soon to set up His Messianic Kingdom and to rule over the nations.

The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

² Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

³ And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Zechariah 12:1-3

So, in conclusion, coming back to what I was saying earlier, we have this battle between the left and the right, the progressive, the multicultural, and the nationalist and the traditionalist, we have many conflicts in the world. Whose side are we on? Whose side is God on?

Well, I think that, in every situation, you have to seek the Lord and ask Him. He does have a purpose in all of this, He’s not necessarily on the side we might think is our side because there may be things wrong with what we think is our side, especially if it’s the Western Alliance which need to be put right. But He is on the side of all those who believe in Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah and He is on the side of Israel.

He wants to preserve Israel as a nation. Again, Israel has a lot of things it has to put right before it comes to recognize the Messiah, and only the Messiah can put things right for Israel with the Second Coming of Jesus.

But, in the meantime, we have to look up because, in the end, the Lord is going to return and there will be total victory for the Lord, a total defeat of the Devil.

Our job is to choose Him, to choose the Lord and be ready for His return. We won’t be able to sort out all the complexities of the present world struggle.

I’ve given you a few ideas but it is certain that I can’t sort it out. Yet, we are able to rescue the lost from the coming catastrophe and from eternal judgment through faith in Jesus the Messiah.

And so, I’ll just to read a couple of scriptures to close that answer the ‘What do we do?’ question:

¹³ “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. ¹⁴ Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14

There are two paths before you, before me. One is the narrow road which leads to life. To get to it you have to go through the narrow gate. The narrow gate means that you submit your life to Jesus Christ who died on the Cross and rose from the dead.

The broad road is the easy road, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re a Muslim or an atheist or a left winger or a right winger, whatever your persuasion is, whatever your ideas are, if you’re not in Jesus, you’re on the broad road leading to destruction.

The Devil doesn’t really mind what you believe in about anything unless you believe in Jesus. So, the only answer is to on the right road is, to get right with God through Jesus, and the only answer to all this complexity and crisis which I’ve spoken about is Jesus Christ.

Jesus: His First Coming to redeem us to God, His Second Coming to judge the world in righteousness according to how we have responded. Therefore,

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

⁵ Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:1-6

Praise the Lord! There is a way, there is a place. Jesus Christ is the answer. He’s coming again soon to receive us to Himself and where He is, we will be. We will be with him forever! Praise the Lord!

Lord, we thank you that we do have a great hope in you. Thank you that you tell us not to be troubled. The things that I’ve said tonight may be troubling and indeed they are, but you have an answer to all the troubles in the world, and you are the answer.

And we thank you Lord, that you’re coming again in power and great glory to judge the world in righteousness.

Meantime Lord, we pray that you will bring many people out of darkness into light. Deliver our people from the strong delusion that the Devil would like to sow in their minds, and open them up to the truth which is in Jesus Christ.

And we pray for the peoples of the world we’ve talked about: the Muslims, we pray that you will set them free from this horrible religion which is actually damning them to eternal hell. We pray that you’ll open the eyes of the Jewish people Lord to the Messiah Yeshua.

And we pray that you’ll break through in the nominal church with all its confusion and its backsliding and compromise, and that you will raise up those who can speak out the truth of the Gospel.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.
