Thank you for coming to this channel. I hope that you enjoy each video update, learn more about what God is doing in our world, and share what you learn with others. Blessings!
This is amazing! Glory to God for what is He doing and for hearing the prayers of those who cry out day and night for the accomplishment of the prophecies. Maranatha!!
This is a serious matter. Imagine being responsible for possibly misleading hundreds of thousands of people into inadvertently 'worshipping' the AC because you're adamantly pointing in the wrong direction. Pride and arrogance should have no place in Bible interpretation. This debate has proven that observing scriptural context is as crucial for placing a future event in the right location as it is for a halfway accurate geopolitical timeline. Anything else comes across as sloppy and dishonest. Thanks for a thorough, competent, and objective presentation, Joel. Nothing makes more sense within the biblical context.
Thank you, Joel!!❤ God bless my brothers from the Middle East. This panel discussion has moved my heart to prayer. I'm SO joyful for this. I need courage to speak the truth in love. Courage in the chaos of my country.
I read Rev 16-18 with prayer and fasting before I saw this debate. I was shocked to realize the prostitute is Israel. I have been in the Messianic Community for over 20 years and was "astonished" exactly as the text reads. I watched the debate looking for them to confirm or deny. In 2001, I went to the Messianic community under the lead of Holy Spirit. I argued with the Rabbi that I was not a believer in Replacement theology. There were many Christians at that time backing me up. We prayed and asked Hashem to remove the veil from our eyes and show us the truth. Sure enough we, without seeing it, did believe that we replaced Israel. It's because of a psychological phenomena we humans have regarding preconceived knowledge (too much to go into here). The point is, the reason I was astonished was because i have had preconceived beliefs again...suggest prayer and fasting and seeking the truth from Yeshua. Shalom! Shalom!
Names throughout scripture for people who played significant roles in history had prophetic meanings. The etymology of Harris is quite telling. It means make war, lay waste, plunder, ravage, destroy.... the HEBREW word, "haras" means the same: throw down, destroy, overthrow, ruin. Not a good sign. She kept this name rather than her married name.
Shalom and blessings, GCM. Thank you for blessing us with another powerful testimony. Praise Yah for the courage, boldness, fearlessness and perseverance that run through the veins of faith in these dear brothers and sisters. All glory to the Mot High. Every blessing. David (UK)
As far as the seed of the woman vs seed of the serpent, it doesn't seem that either of them (as of the halfway point) is considering the seed of the serpent "could" be a reference to genetic hybrids such as the Nephelim? As in the days of Noah, so shall the days of the coming of the Son of Man be. This might also have some application to the toes of iron and clay that will not adhere. Just a thought.
Bless you Joel and all who risked much to get these voices to us! I join in faith with God’s believing family in the Middle East praying in one accord that the Spirit of the Lord to bring about all of His purposes and plan for these days in the Middle East and entire earth. Hear oh God, the cries of Your people to bring about what You have spoken through all the ages, culminating in the return of the King of Israel and Jung of the Nations. Each of us require Your holy presence to go forth and be the light and salt, to bring the word of our testimony covered with the blood of the Lamb and to walk in the manner worthy of Your holy call. Prayers for each one in any underground church the world over. May God bless and keep you. In the name of our Lord and Savior, Messiah Jesus.
Joel, do we have suport groups broken up by the states? I am just wondering. I don't really get into social media at all really but I do have Facebook and X, Truth social. I'm not good tech wise. Many thanks. I ask as I feel so alone knowing what I know and believe. My husband and family think I am a whack job.
Hmmm..... The two Bush Pres's had a great relationship with the Saudi 's for a start. I am grateful to you Joel for explaining this to us. I had recently been hearing about Michael Rush's take on Ezra's Eagle and it had me freaked out. He says that Babylon is the American/ London/ Rome Deep State. They will stop the next President from entering into office in Jan 25. Have you ever studied the Ezra book? Also, I am slightly confused. So Babylon is the Islamic religion in Mecca I think and you are saying the beast will then destroy it and the people of Islam? Why? Thanks so much. Horrible and all as all of this is, I burst out laughing a lot at your videos. Thanks again! Sheila❤
I would also point to Ibogaine. It's a virtual CURE for addiction... not to mention it causes regrowth of brain cells in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients. There are medical benefits to EVERY psychoactive chemical. The problem is an unrealistic worldview of them... ie... either they're "completely harmless" or they're "are the devil".... neither of these views are correct, and both are harmful. If we hadn't knee-jerk banned these chemicals out of fear, we would know A LOT more about them today.... and PTSD might already be a thing of the past. Psilocybin LITERALLY expands the mind, not just figuratively. They increase neurplasticity.... this is their benefit. People learn maladaptive coping mechanisms, then because of lack of neuroplasticity, have a next to impossible time, unlearning them. Psilocybin and moreso MDMA or Mescaline, open up a new critical learning period in the brain, allowing you to rewrite those unhealthy schema. Should people be using them to party? Not without understanding this. You'll inadvertantly learn or reinforce new bad habits.... but if you understand this, and take care to try new healthy ways of coping afterward, they can be INCREDIBLY beneficial. I went online and studied the hell out of anything I would take. To the point where I knew more about them than my doctors (not hyperbole... something I regularly heard growing up was "He's too smart for his own good"), who I would be able to refute whenever they tried using scare tactics on me, to get me to stop. You know one thing nobody ever tried? To truly understand why I was using them in the first place, for real.... oh they sure as hell tried slapping all sorts of explanations on me, that ALWAYS painted me in a horrible light. They always assumed I was just trying to party... they would call it an escape, but never considered that what I was trying so hard to escape, might have been valid (spoiler... it was... I was on the spectrum, it wasn't known, and I was constantly berated for "not trying hard enough" when I was trying so hard that it was killing me. I was held up to neurotypical standards, while being FAR from neurotypical. I would be told to "just be yourself" then when I was, I would be punished for it. My childhood was a living hell because of a narcissistic single parent, who everyone thought was just an angel. I had a very normal reaction to the abuse, but the abuse was never acknowledged... so I was treated like I had the perfect home life, but was just a bad seed. My mother is very good at bottling it up in front of everyone and anyone, and then vomiting it all out onto me, as soon as we were alone. But the people in our church, never got to see that, so when they would ask me "Why?" and I would give them the God's-honest-truth, it didn't match what they wanted the situation to be, so I was called a liar. It took 15 years of therapy, psychedelics, and a full-blown NDE, for me to heal from the damage inflicted upon me by my own mother, who has still, to this day, not acknowledged a single mistake, let alone over 20 years of cruel emotional abuse. Another thing that tipped me toward Satanism, was this! The fact that I was being raised by a "Christian" (who did not practice what she preached), who was nothing but cruel to me, and held me up to and berated me for not being faithful and living according to scripture, while she, herself, did nothing of the sort. It was my first double standard, and the reason I absolutely despise double standards, to this day. Since I've come to the Lord, I've asked her to come to church with me, and there's always an excuse... I'm convinced it's because I WANT TO GO! It was only fun for her when she was forcing it on me, and could use it to control me as a child. Now that it has set me free, all of the sudden she has a million excuses, when as a child, a FEVER wasn't a legitimate excuse for me not to go..... go figure.
I occasionally use DMT. However, I have a strict code for when I do. My mantra through it, is thanksgiving. I thank the Lord. Over and over again...... there's an entity that visits me... and each time I thank Yeshua, it touches me and gives me a burst of the love I felt, in God's presence, during an NDE. DMT is in our brain to begin with. The crystals (it's a crystaline substance) act as a spiritual antenna... when you add to your natural levels, you see things that are always there, but usually inperceptible. It's really all about your intent, and practice. I certainly don't recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a spiritual grounding in the Lord. Now, I was on SSRIs for a quarter century, and got myself off of them, through the growth and use of psychedelic mushrooms. I take a small dose, every 2-4 weeks. I lost the weight gained through the "medicine" (I put that in quotes, because antidepressants don't fix depression... they give you a little more fight.... but the mushrooms, OBLITERATED my depression... not while I'm on them, but for weeks afterward). I healed from the damage the medications did to me. I eat healthy. I work out. I WANT to get out of bed in the morning... and the lifting of my depression, has gotten me closer to God. Again, it's all about intent. I don't use mushrooms to escape my problems, I use them to highlight them, and then use what I learned about myself, in the following weeks, to overcome the problem. In fact, the mushrooms wouldn't LET me escape my issues if I wanted to..... in fact, for years I wouldn't go near them, precisely because of this.... because I was trying to escape at the time. When I wanted to escape, I shot heroin.... or I would pop a Klonopin. I got myself off of Klonopin with THC, and I got myself off antidepressants using mushrooms and DMT (I use the DMT as a booster in between mushroom doses, when I need it... which is actually pretty rare. It's something I have to psych myself up to every time... because it does put you in a spiritually vulnerable position.... but with prayer and invocation of the Lord, and if used for the intention of healing.... it's pretty safe. I get that most Christians don't understand these substances, and there are valid concerns, but they aren't as scary as you're making them out to be, if you educate yourself first. Cannabis is not a sin if you use it medicinally. I'm autistic and have paralyzing social anxiety, to the point where I can't function. I had to be on benzodiazepines!!!! Delta-8-THC in a pen (which causes far less intoxication and doesn't make you lazy) got me off of that horrible stuff, that my doctors OKAYED!!! I'm sorry, but I would go to war to keep it, because it gave me my life back. You mentioned crack.... Coca in its whole form, is more effective, and believe it or not, SAFER and vetter for your body, than a cup of coffee. It's purified form is horribly addictive and damaging to the heart. And dude, I was a metalhead growing up.... ALL the kids in my town, DID DRUGS.... only after THEY did drugs, the rap crowd would go vandalising, shoplifting, and rumbling.... while I would go make some noise with a guitar in my friends' garage. The metalheads were the good kids.... but because of church influence, my mother thought it authorized her to treat me like I WAS the devil. THAT drove me to Satanism. I was the family scapegoat. Raise a kid browbeating them, then make them the family scapegoat, and you literally MAKE a Satanist. In fact, most people I knew from the Church, had that exact story. You guys need someone who truly understands these things to talk on these issues. The way your doing it, will create more like me. I didn't repent until I died for 3½ minutes, met the Lord, had a complete life review, including future, told myself it was a hallucination for three years, as I watched all of it happen in real life.... he let me see my dead father, to forgive him. That's what it took from where I was, and I had people spewing the same things at me about drugs. The reason it didn't work, was because the information was inaccurate. When I tried them, they weren't the terrifying thing I had been warned about. If they would have just been honest with me, it probably would've stuck.
Israeli intelligence allowed the attack to happen and foment a war they are calling others (US) to fight. None of this has to do with the old covenant other than God was proven right again. “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’-in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.” All of Jeremiah 4 should be read when anyone thinks going to war in the Middle East is a good idea, especially those who will not fight in it. Kyrie eleison!
I’m sorry, this is a random question and obviously not the point of the interview, but, has anyone been saying Iran is the hero of the story? Have I missed something lol? Jose was reminding us that Jesus is the hero of the story, not Mike, IHOP, the prayer movement, or Iran. …??? Who has been thinking Iran is the hero and why? I am genuinely curious. It seemed so random, but I’m guessing I’m missing something.
Love hearing from those who serve Christ in that part of the world, the insights and the dedication, the praise and worship for our only king. Our prayers are with you also.
2024 here... "Messianic Jew" = Christian, not Genetic Hebrews and those who the position Joel is laying out, are supporting proactive war with Iran where they will not serve themselves. Everything else is
I've been looking into this for awhile, and I can see that it COULD be some of both. Rome and the prince to come was Roman, and so were (most of) the legions that actually destroyed Jerusalem. (Syrians I think) You should also consider that the antichrist and the false prophet are a team, at least for a while, and they promote and enforce a worldwide blasphemous religion, and that could easily be an ecumenical Chrislam. Rome being the head (so to speak), and the Muslim part providing the forces. It's fairly apparent that the end times antichrist religious system is going to amalgamate everything and everyone that stands against Israel and the Lord Jesus Christ. This view seems to cover all of that. Never can tell however. But if that's how it works out, I'd say that it is likely that the antichrist is the Muslim Mahdi, and the false prophet is a Roman, or at least a part of the Roman church (along with other apostate churches and other ecumenical religious groups) that has aligned with Islam. 🙏✝️👑✝️🙏
Thank you for all the testimonies. It is good to hear from hidden believers. If Iran has a 40% Christian population that would put it at about 40,000,000 or about 14th in the world. I find this hard to believe.
