Transcript [00:01] When you try to fight Israel, you would [00:04] find the Mossad as a fist in your face. [00:09] [music] [00:10] >> Mossad is Israel's intelligence wing, [00:12] much like the CIA. [00:14] >> Here in the Mossad, we do not have [00:16] fighter jets. We do not have tanks. We [00:18] combine human intelligence with [00:20] technology to achieve the unachievable [00:22] for the security and safety of Israel [00:24] and its citizens. [00:27] >> We are surrounded by enemies. [00:34] chooses the path of war. [00:35] >> Gizbbala grew into one of the most [00:36] powerful military forces anywhere. [00:40] >> Enough is enough. [00:42] >> We discovered Isbala [music] instructed [00:45] all of the operatives to use only pages. [00:49] We wanted to target hisbal terrorists [00:51] only. So we must turn this pager into a [00:55] bomb. [00:56] >> This is old school. Slowly [01:00] over time, getting into someone's supply [01:02] chain, gaining trust. [01:05] >> This is the difference between life or [01:07] death. [01:10] >> We have an opportunity. [01:14] >> The time to make a decision. It's now [01:17] how we managed to target thousands of [01:20] terrorists. Unprecedented. [01:24] >> This pager operation is one for the [01:26] history books. [01:29] This one really reads like a Hollywood [01:30] thriller. [01:32] >> The pagers were set off by a certain [01:34] code. [01:36] >> This operation created a domino effect. [01:40] Israel [music] pulled off the most [01:41] daring intelligence operation in [01:43] history. [01:49] Boom. [02:00] That handful of TNT changed the world. [02:04] >> A modernday Trojan horse conceived in [02:08] secret, engineered through covert supply [02:12] chains and executed with a single [02:16] synchronized electronic beep. [02:20] When the trailer for the upcoming Daily [02:24] Wire docu drama, Paging Hezbolla, [02:28] flashed across YouTube this month, [02:31] viewers were left completely stunned by [02:35] the intelligence operation that sounds [02:38] like pure science fiction. [02:42] From the heroic passenger intervention [02:45] that thwarted a flight hijacked to Tel [02:49] Aviv to the unprecedented complexity of [02:53] recent regional defense actions, the [02:56] ongoing drama centering on this [03:00] microscopic strip of land constantly [03:03] defies human probability. [03:06] Secular movie script writers and [03:09] Hollywood directors confess they could [03:11] never conjure up the staggering [03:14] highstakes realities that unfold across [03:17] this geography virtually every 72 hours. [03:23] Yet, in the face of these undeniable [03:27] wonders, popular secular media [03:30] commentators insist that Israel is just [03:34] a small, insignificant country that [03:37] consumes far too much global attention. [03:41] What's up everybody? I'm Steve. Welcome [03:44] back to our weekly delve into the Bible [03:48] in light of current events and [03:52] geography. [03:53] Now, I want to take a brief moment to [03:56] thank each and every one of you for the [03:59] massive wave of prayers and support that [04:02] flooded this channel over the past few [04:05] weeks about as I navigated a sudden [04:10] physical trial with something called [04:12] Bell's pausy. the total paralysis of the [04:16] right side of my face caused by Lyme [04:19] disease, which I explained in my last [04:21] video, which ironically is the second [04:25] most watched video I ever made, which [04:28] makes me wonder, [04:30] my gosh, what do I have to do to grow my [04:32] channel? Do I have to get struck with [04:33] plagues [laughter] and physical [04:35] disabilities every few weeks? But on a [04:39] serious note, over the last week in [04:42] particular, I've noticed an easing of my [04:44] symptoms, the nerve inflammation has [04:47] significantly subsided, and I would say [04:50] that my facial mobility is about 50% [04:53] restored. The main issue, and you'll see [04:56] it throughout this video, is my right [04:59] eye, which I would say is still [05:00] paralyzed. I still can't shut it, and it [05:04] barely blinks. It is firing off. [05:08] miniature blinks, partial blinks, but [05:10] it's definitely not able to fully blink [05:12] yet. And AI told me that that would be [05:16] the last [05:18] thing to be fully restored. I have no [05:20] idea why, but for instance, I'm able to, [05:24] you know, move both sides of my [05:26] forehead, which was impossible a couple [05:28] weeks ago. I'm able to raise my right [05:30] brow, which was impossible a few weeks [05:33] ago. [05:34] my lip paralysis or my my mouth [05:38] paralysis has loosened up, hence I'm [05:40] able to make this video. But I am on the [05:43] road to recovery and I'm hoping that a [05:46] month from now I'll be completely [05:50] restored even though I know it could [05:52] take as long as three months and in some [05:56] cases six months. Again, I want to thank [05:58] you for your prayers, which I've felt [06:01] for the last couple weeks, and I believe [06:03] the results have manifested themselves. [06:06] So, I'm able to come back from behind [06:09] the shadows and make a video thanks to [06:12] you and to the grace of the great [06:15] physician, the Lord. Now, today we're [06:19] going to look past the political noise, [06:23] push past secular dismissals, and sadly [06:27] even some denialism within the church [06:30] itself, and examine why the eyes of the [06:35] entire world remain permanently locked [06:39] onto the nation of Israel. [06:42] We will analyze the profound historical [06:46] irony of the modern media landscape and [06:49] explore why these realworld Israeli [06:52] dramas are not historical accidents but [06:57] wondrous physical testimonies to a [07:01] sovereign promise. [07:04] So, let's turn off the sensationalist [07:07] television feeds and open the Bible to [07:10] the coordinates of the latterday [07:13] restoration and slide our playhead [07:17] directly to the undeniable signature of [07:21] the living God. [07:24] To truly understand why this tiny [07:27] geographical corridor dominates the [07:30] global subconscious, we must first look [07:33] at the sheer physical anomaly of modern [07:37] Israel on a map. [07:40] Geographically speaking, the state of [07:43] Israel is a microscopic sliver of land [07:47] measuring a mere 85 miles wide at its [07:51] absolute thickest point. [07:55] It represents less than 100th of a [07:58] percent of the total land mass of the [08:01] Middle East. Yet it commands more front [08:04] page headlines, [08:06] intelligence resources, and diplomatic [08:10] friction than entire continents. [08:14] Standard geopolitical rules dictate that [08:18] a nation of this physical size with zero [08:22] natural protective borders and a tiny [08:25] population should naturally fade into [08:29] regional obscurity. [08:31] heard the opinions of people like Tucker [08:33] Carlson. [08:35] Yet, secular history completely refuses [08:39] to allow this nation to sit quietly or [08:43] for too long on the sidelines. [08:46] Instead, we watch an ongoing, hyper [08:50] dense cascade of events that [08:53] consistently outpaces the imagination of [08:57] the world's most talented political [08:59] novelist. [09:00] Consider for a moment the unprecedented [09:04] complexity of that synchronized pager [09:07] intelligence operation [09:09] which decapitated a hostile command [09:13] infrastructure in a matter of seconds. [09:17] Or look at the raw highstakes drama of [09:20] the recent Fly Dubai flight to Tel Aviv, [09:24] where ordinary heroic passengers [09:26] physically intervene midair to thwart a [09:30] highly coordinated hijack attempt [09:32] concerning which we're still learning [09:34] the details weeks later. These are not [09:40] isolated lucky coincidences. Rather, [09:43] they're a part of a continuous [09:46] high velocity baseline of reality that [09:49] defies standard historical probability. [09:53] And this, my friends, is the precise [09:56] geopolitical paradox that secular [09:59] commentators and again unfortunately [10:02] some people in the church world [10:04] completely fail to comprehend. The world [10:08] is utterly obsessed with this land mass [10:12] because history itself is physically [10:15] pinned to its coordinates. [10:18] Nations do not spend billions of dollars [10:21] tracking a microscopic strip of [10:24] territory out of a casual political [10:28] interest. They do it because they are [10:30] being subconsciously drawn into a [10:33] theater they cannot control. [10:37] When we transition our gaze from the [10:40] chaotic modern newswire straight to the [10:43] Bible, this dense concentration of [10:47] global drama transforms from a political [10:50] mystery into an absolute divine [10:55] certainty. [10:56] For millennia, the Hebrew prophets [11:00] preferred highly specific literal [11:03] architectural blueprints concerning the [11:06] latterday status of the Jewish people [11:10] and our ancestral homeland. In Jeremiah [11:14] 31, Yahweh establishes an ironclad [11:18] covenant, declaring that as long as the [11:20] sun, the moon, the stars maintain their [11:24] fixed physical orbits, Israel will never [11:28] cease from being a nation before him. [11:32] Historically, [11:34] secular critics and allegorical [11:36] theologians dismissed these literal [11:39] promises, and some still do, [11:41] unfortunately, to this very day, [11:44] insisting that a scattered, exiled [11:47] people could never return to reclaim an [11:50] integrated sovereignty on the global [11:54] stage. [11:55] Yet the physical map of our generation [11:59] is completely validated these ancient [12:02] texts matching the precise mechanics [12:06] outlined by the prophet Ezekiel in [12:09] chapters 36 and 37. [12:13] Ezekiel explicitly and in plain language [12:17] at least in Ezekiel 36 predicted a [12:20] multi-phase [12:22] structural restoration. First a physical [12:26] reathering from the nations, then a [12:29] systematic rattling and reconstitution [12:32] of infrastructure, [12:34] followed by a visible standing up of a [12:38] highly resilient, exceedingly great [12:42] army. This is the exact prophetic [12:46] progression currently unfolding right [12:48] before our eyes on the evening news. [12:53] The wondrous highstakes dramas that we [12:56] are witnessing from unprecedented [12:59] intelligence breakthroughs to miraculous [13:02] defensive interceptions [13:05] are the physical friction of that [13:08] ancient blueprint snapping into place. [13:12] We are simply pointing out that the [13:16] reason Israel's modern history reads [13:18] like an intense Hollywood movie script [13:22] is because the author of history is [13:24] actively executing his literal word [13:28] against all human probability. [13:32] The engineering of the modern state is [13:36] not a western political construct or an [13:40] historical accident. It is the visible [13:43] undeniable manifestation of a sovereign [13:47] covenant being worked out in real time. [13:53] This relentless cascade of highstakes [13:57] events forces us to confront a [14:00] fundamental question. Why does the [14:03] sovereign creator allow the theater of [14:06] Israel to be filled with such nonstop [14:09] hyper dense drama? Well, the answer is [14:13] found in the very nature of divine [14:17] communication. [14:19] God is intentionally using the physical [14:22] geography of Israel as a loud global [14:26] megaphone to draw the attention of a [14:30] distracted world. By orchestrating [14:35] realworld historical events that [14:38] consistently defy standard political [14:41] probability, the Almighty is making it [14:44] completely impossible for secular [14:48] historians [14:50] or modern media platforms or I'll even [14:53] say replacement theologist to ignore his [14:58] word, his promises. [15:01] He is forcing a cynical techdriven [15:05] global society to look directly at this [15:09] microscopic strip of land and witness an [15:13] undeniable truth that the mouth of the [15:16] Lord has spoken it and his hand is [15:20] actively bringing it to pass. [15:23] And guys, this is good news, not just [15:26] for the Jew, but for the Gentile, too. [15:30] Or let's say at least whoever you may be [15:33] who is a believer trusting in the word [15:35] of God. Because for the serious [15:38] believer, this majestic display of macro [15:42] geopolitical control is not just some [15:46] intellectual proof for some prophetic [15:49] timeline. It is the ultimate anchor for [15:53] a secure mind. [15:57] Consider for a moment this profound [16:00] logic of biblical discernment. If the [16:03] living God is this meticulously faithful [16:06] to a tiny physical landmass and an [16:11] ancient covenant promised against all [16:13] mathematical and military odds, [16:17] then I suggest he is completely [16:20] sovereign over the micro details of your [16:24] personal life. In other words, the same [16:28] unchanging God who watches over the [16:31] borders of Israel and shields her [16:34] passengers midair is the exact same [16:38] savior who walks with you through [16:41] unexpected health battles, sudden [16:44] storms, and silent physical trials. [16:49] We do not need to look at the [16:52] threatening global infrastructure or the [16:55] chaos of the international newswire with [16:59] a posture of internal panic or [17:02] survivalist anxiety. Our primary [17:06] baseline of defense remains a deliberate [17:10] discipline choice to rest our minds [17:13] securely in the absolute covenant [17:16] faithfulness of Yahweh. And while the [17:20] nations rage per psalm number two and [17:25] secular commenters stumble blindly [17:27] through the geopolitical noise, the [17:30] child of God walks in perfect quiet [17:34] confidence. [17:35] History, my friends, is not an [17:39] accidental sequence of Hollywood plot [17:42] twist. Rather, it is a meticulously [17:46] managed architecture running directly [17:49] toward the grand arrival of the King of [17:53] Glory. Anyway, thank you for spending [17:58] this time traveling alongside me through [18:01] this week's brief foray into biblical [18:05] truth.

[19:44] And if you want to bless me, Steve the [19:47] tour guide, throughout the week with a [19:49] cup of coffee, you can do so by visiting [19:53] the link to my coffee page, which I [19:57] provide right below this video in the [20:00] extended description of the video. Well [20:04] guys, that's it for me. You can see that [20:06] I'm in my fall colors. This happens to [20:08] be my favorite shirt or let's say my [20:11] favorite color regardless of the time of [20:13] the year. If you remember a couple weeks [20:15] ago when I made that video about my [20:18] bell's pausy, I offered to hire myself [20:21] out to you to uh to perform as a freak [20:26] to frighten your kids or grandkids on [20:30] Halloween. But thankfully, I'm on the [20:34] mend and it looks like I'll be able [20:36] instead to make more videos rather than [20:41] hire myself out for such an occasion. [20:44] And again, that's in thanks to your [20:47] prayers which you prayed for me over the [20:50] last couple weeks. Well, that's it, [20:52] guys. With that, I'm going to end the [20:55] video. This is Steve, the tour guide, [20:57] wishing you to enjoy what is by far my [21:01] favorite time of the year, these last [21:04] two weeks of October. [21:06] Unfortunately, where I live, we've had [21:08] this sudden revival of summer heat, [21:12] which has tricked the nature behind me [21:14] here into not realizing that it is the [21:17] middle of October. [21:19] And usually these last two weeks of [21:21] October are by far the most colorful of [21:24] the year. It's possible that the weather [21:26] where I'm at is going to push things a [21:29] little bit behind by maybe at least a [21:31] week, but that time will come. And as I [21:35] continue to recover and thankfully I've [21:39] managed to kill the Lyme disease over [21:41] the last 3 weeks of this antibiotic uh [21:44] doxycyc, which I finally got off of a [21:47] couple days ago, I'm now feeling more [21:50] free to go back into the outdoors to get [21:52] back to jogging. But unfortunately, I [21:55] can't get on my bicycle again until I'm [21:57] able to shut this right eye. I've been [22:00] warned repeatedly by AI not to get on a [22:04] bike, even though I have protective [22:05] glasses. Until my eye is able to close, [22:09] and I have a feeling it's going to be [22:10] the final thing that gets better, but it [22:14] will get better. I'm hopeful, and I [22:16] appreciate your continued prayers. Well, [22:19] folks, this is Steve, the tour guide, [22:22] signing off. Bye-bye.
