0:00Something significant is about to happen
0:02in Jerusalem.
0:04And if you are a Christian,
0:06you need to understand exactly [music]
0:08what is being planned.
0:10From November 2nd to November 6th, 2026,
0:13[music]
0:14representatives of Noahide communities
0:17from around the world are expected to
0:19gather in Jerusalem for the first
0:21international congress of Noahides.
0:22[music]
0:24At first,
0:26that might sound like another religious
0:28conference.
0:29The kind of event that takes place
0:31[music] somewhere in the world every
0:33week.
0:34But when you actually look at what the
0:36organizers say they intend to establish,
0:40this becomes [music] much more difficult
0:41to ignore.
0:43This is not simply a gathering where
0:45people will listen to speeches, attend
0:47[music] seminars, and then return home.
0:51Brit Olam, also known as the Noahide
0:54World Center, says representatives from
0:56six [music] continents are coming
0:58together to lay the foundations of an
1:00international movement.
1:03They are talking about a founding
1:05charter, [music]
1:06continental councils,
1:07common teaching, international
1:09coordination, and communities around the
1:12world connected back to Jerusalem.
1:13[music]
1:15The congress website describes what is
1:18happening in just four extraordinary
1:19[music]
1:20words.
1:21Foundation, not a conference.
1:25And according to the published program,
1:27representatives are also expected to be
1:29received at Beit Hanassi,
1:32the official residence of the president
1:34of Israel.
1:36So before we go any further, we need to
1:38understand what this movement [music]
1:40actually believes.
1:43At the center of Noahidism, are what are
1:45known as the seven laws of Noah.
1:49According to Jewish tradition, these are
1:51universal commandments given for
1:53humanity, not simply for the Jewish
1:55people.
1:57They prohibit idolatry.
1:59They prohibit blasphemy.
2:02They prohibit murder.
2:04They prohibit forbidden sexual
2:05relationships.
2:07They prohibit theft.
2:09They prohibit taking flesh from a living
2:11animal, which is connected with cruelty
2:14toward living creatures.
2:16And finally,
2:17they require societies to establish
2:20systems of justice.
2:23On the surface, a Christian may hear
2:25that list and wonder why [music] there
2:27should be any concern at all.
2:30Do not murder? Christians agree. Do not
2:32steal? Christians agree. Establish
2:35justice? Of course. Reject sexual
2:37immorality and cruelty?
2:40Again, none of that immediately sounds
2:42hostile to Christianity.
2:45In fact, [music] much of it sounds
2:46remarkably familiar.
2:48The Noahide World Center itself [music]
2:50presents these laws as a universal moral
2:53framework intended for people across the
2:55nations.
2:57But there is one law that deserves much
2:59closer attention.
3:02The prohibition against [music]
3:04idolatry.
3:06Because the important question is not
3:07simply whether idolatry is forbidden.
3:10Christians believe idolatry is wrong,
3:12too.
3:14The important question is this.
3:16What does this Noahide teaching consider
3:19idolatry?
3:21And that takes [music] us directly to
3:22Jesus Christ.
3:24Rabbi Ouri Cherki, the founder and
3:27president of Brit Olam, and one of the
3:29central figures behind this movement,
3:32has published teaching [music] through
3:33the Noahide World Center dealing
3:35specifically with Christianity.
3:39His teaching says that worship must be
3:41directed solely toward the creator,
3:44>> [music]
3:44>> and that another entity must not be
3:45associated with God in worship.
3:48Then, Christianity is addressed [music]
3:51directly.
3:52Christians, of course, would answer that
3:55Jesus is not simply another human being
3:57placed [music] next to God.
4:00Historic Christianity teaches that Jesus
4:03Christ is God made flesh.
4:06But Turkey's published teaching rejects
4:08[music] that understanding. It describes
4:10Jesus as human and treats worship
4:13directed toward him as forbidden
4:15association [music] with another entity.
4:18Another lesson published by the
4:19organization similarly addresses the
4:22Christian concept of God becoming
4:24incarnate and rejects it as
4:27justification [music]
4:28for worshipping a human being.
4:31And this is where the issue changes
4:33completely for a Christian.
4:36Because Jesus Christ is not a small
4:38theological detail that Christianity can
4:40simply remove while everything else
4:42remains intact.
4:44Jesus is the center of Christianity.
4:48John chapter 1 tells us,
4:50"In the beginning [music] was the word.
4:53And the word was with God, and the word
4:55was God."
4:57Then only a few verses later we are told
5:00that the word became [music] flesh and
5:01dwelt among us.
5:03When Thomas stood before the resurrected
5:06Jesus, he said,
5:07"My Lord and my God."
5:10Philippians chapter 2 tells us that at
5:12the name of Jesus every knee should bow.
5:16Jesus received worship. Jesus forgave
5:18sins.
5:20Jesus declared,
5:21"Before Abraham was, I am."
5:25Christianity does not teach that Jesus
5:27was merely a good teacher who pointed
5:29humanity toward God.
5:32Christianity declares that Jesus Christ
5:34is Lord.
5:36So, think about the conflict here.
5:38Christianity says worshipping Jesus is
5:41worshipping God.
5:43This Noahide teaching says worshipping
5:46Jesus is precisely the kind of religious
5:48association that should not take place."
5:52Those are not small differences.
5:54They are two completely different
5:56answers to one of the biggest questions
5:58a human being can ever ask.
6:01Who is Jesus Christ?
6:03And this is why Christians should look
6:05beyond the simple list of seven laws.
6:08If all we say is, "They oppose murder,
6:11stealing, and injustice." we miss the
6:13much larger religious framework
6:15surrounding those commandments.
6:19Breit Olom describes Noahideism as a
6:21covenant for humanity
6:23lived across six continents
6:26with Jerusalem serving as the center
6:28from which communities around the world
6:30are served.
6:32Its website says it now has contacts
6:34[music] in more than 70 countries and
6:36publishes material in more than 20
6:39languages.
6:40And now, in November 2026, they intend
6:44to [music] take another step.
6:46Representatives from those different
6:48parts of the world are expected to meet
6:50and establish a more formal
6:52international structure.
6:55Think carefully about what those words
6:57mean.
6:58A founding charter, continental
7:00councils, [music]
7:01international religious authority, a
7:03common moral framework.
7:06Common educational material.
7:09Communities spread [music] across
7:10different nations, but joined through an
7:12international movement and an
7:14international Beit Din, essentially a
7:17religious court intended to provide
7:19guidance within [music] that framework.
7:22Again, the significance is not that
7:24these people are simply gathering
7:26together.
7:28Christians gather internationally all
7:30the time. Jews gather internationally.
7:33Muslims gather internationally.
7:36Governments, [music] businesses,
7:39all have international organizations.
7:42The thing examining is the particular
7:45vision being described here.
7:47A universal covenant intended for
7:49humanity, administered through
7:51increasingly organized international
7:53institutions [music]
7:54with Jerusalem at its center.
7:57And that brings us to a question that
7:59Christians who study Bible prophecy are
8:01inevitably going to ask.
8:04Could a structure like this ever become
8:06part of something much bigger?
8:09I'm choosing those words carefully.
8:12Could it?
8:13Because scripture tells us that the
8:15world is eventually going to experience
8:17an extraordinary centralization of
8:19authority.
8:21Revelation chapter 13 describes a beast
8:24receiving authority over peoples,
8:26nations, and languages.
8:29It describes [music] political power,
8:31religious worship, and eventually
8:34economic control becoming connected in a
8:36way the world has never experienced
8:38before.
8:40Revelation says,
8:42"There comes a point when people cannot
8:44buy or sell without submitting to the
8:46system associated with the beast."
8:50There is government,
8:52there is religion,
8:54there is economic power,
8:56there is international reach,
8:58and there is worship. For generations,
9:00Christians have looked at those passages
9:03and wondered how something on that scale
9:04[music] could ever practically exist.
9:08How could completely different nations,
9:10cultures, and religions ever [music]
9:12operate within a system that possesses
9:14that kind of international authority?
9:18Would it appear overnight?
9:20Would the entire structure suddenly
9:22materialize one morning?
9:25Or would the world gradually become
9:27accustomed to international
9:28institutions,
9:30international standards, international
9:32religious dialogue, regional structures,
9:35and universal principles long before the
9:37final system emerged.
9:40Those are questions.
9:42We cannot look at one conference in
9:43Jerusalem and announce that Revelation
9:4513 has just [music] been fulfilled.
9:49Scripture gives us far more detail than
9:51that.
9:52But neither should Christians stop
9:54asking questions simply because
9:56something begins small.
9:59Because that is really the question
10:00here.
10:02Are we merely looking at a small
10:04religious movement establishing itself?
10:05[music]
10:07Perhaps.
10:09Or could we be witnessing one example of
10:11the kinds of structures from which
10:13something larger could eventually grow?
10:16A universal moral code,
10:19continental representation,
10:21international religious authority,
10:24a founding charter,
10:25>> [music]
10:25>> courts,
10:27a religious identity intended not for
10:29one nation, but for humanity.
10:32None of those things individually proves
10:34anything [music] about the one-world
10:36system described in biblical prophecy.
10:40But put those ideas together and
10:42Christians who know Revelation will
10:44naturally recognize [music] themes worth
10:46watching.
10:48And then there is another detail that
10:50makes this story [music] even more
10:52remarkable.
10:54Jerusalem.
10:56This congress could have been held in
10:58New York. It could have been organized
11:00in London, Paris, Geneva, or Washington.
11:04But it is being held in Jerusalem at the
11:06Seven Arches Hotel on the Mount of
11:09Olives, overlooking the Old City and the
11:11area of the Temple Mount.
11:14According to Brit Olam's own website,
11:17this worldwide Noahide movement is being
11:20served from Jerusalem outward.
11:24And if you know your Bible, you know
11:26that Jerusalem is not simply another
11:28ancient city [music] with an interesting
11:30religious history.
11:32Jerusalem repeatedly appears at the
11:34center of biblical prophecy concerning
11:36the closing days of this age.
11:39The prophet Zechariah saw a time when
11:41Jerusalem would become a focus of the
11:43nations.
11:45Zechariah chapter 12 says,
11:48"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of
11:51trembling unto all the people round
11:53[music] about."
11:55Then it says Jerusalem would become a
11:58burdensome stone for [music] all people.
12:02Think about how extraordinary that
12:03prophecy is.
12:05Jerusalem [music] is not one of the
12:06world's largest cities.
12:09It is not the headquarters of the
12:10world's biggest [music] economy.
12:13It is not the largest military center on
12:15Earth.
12:17Yet scripture tells us that in the final
12:19chapters of history, the attention of
12:21the nations will repeatedly return to
12:23Jerusalem.
12:25Then move forward to Zechariah chapter
12:2714.
12:29Once again, the nations and Jerusalem
12:31appear together.
12:33The prophet describes [music]
12:35nations gathering against Jerusalem,
12:37followed by the intervention of the
12:39Lord.
12:41And then something remarkable happens.
12:44The chapter moves beyond judgment and
12:46speaks about the Lord reigning as king
12:49over all the Earth.
12:51Jerusalem becomes connected not merely
12:54with Israel's story,
12:56but with the destiny [music]
12:57of the nations.
12:59Jesus himself directed attention toward
13:02Jerusalem when speaking about the events
13:04[music] surrounding the end of the age.
13:07In Luke chapter 21, he speaks about
13:10Jerusalem and the times of the Gentiles.
13:14In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus warns about
13:17events in Judea [music] and speaks of
13:19the abomination of desolation standing
13:21in the holy place.
13:23Whatever position Christians take
13:25[music] on the exact sequence of end
13:27times events.
13:29Jerusalem and the land surrounding it
13:32are impossible to remove from the
13:33biblical picture.
13:36Then you reach Revelation.
13:39Revelation chapter 11 turns our
13:41attention once again toward the holy
13:43city.
13:44We are told about two witnesses [music]
13:46who prophesy for 1,260
13:50days.
13:51Their bodies eventually lie in the
13:53street of what Revelation calls the
13:55great city where also our Lord [music]
13:58was crucified.
14:00Jerusalem appears once again in the
14:01prophetic narrative.
14:04This is why Christians [music] pay
14:05attention when unusual religious
14:07developments begin happening in
14:09Jerusalem.
14:11It is not because every conference is
14:13automatically prophecy.
14:16It is because God told us thousands of
14:18years ago that this city would occupy an
14:20extraordinary position
14:22>> [music]
14:22>> as history approaches its conclusion.
14:26And now consider the picture before us.
14:29Representatives from different parts of
14:31the world are expected to gather in
14:34Jerusalem.
14:35They are discussing a universal
14:37religious and moral framework for
14:39non-Jews.
14:42They intend to sign a founding charter.
14:45They intend to establish continental
14:46structures.
14:48They are discussing international
14:50religious authority.
14:52The organizers say the movement reaches
14:54communities in more than 70 countries.
14:58They describe it as something meant for
14:59humanity.
15:01And their own teachings raise a direct
15:03theological conflict with the Christian
15:06worship of Jesus Christ.
15:08So, we have to ask the difficult
15:10question.
15:12Could this eventually become part of the
15:14structure of a future global religious
15:16system?
15:18Could the architecture of a one-world
15:20system begin not with tanks in the
15:22streets or a dictator announcing that he
15:25[music] now rules the planet.
15:28But through structures humanity
15:30willingly accepts because they initially
15:32appear moral, peaceful, and reasonable.
15:36Think about that.
15:38If a global religious system eventually
15:41appears,
15:42would it introduce itself by saying,
15:45"We are here to fulfill the book of
15:47Revelation?"
15:49Of course not.
15:50It would probably talk about peace,
15:52unity, justice, morality, humanity,
15:56[music] common values, bringing nations
15:59together, ending religious division,
16:01things almost everybody would initially
16:03find difficult to oppose.
16:06And that is what makes prophecy so
16:08important.
16:09Scripture does not merely tell
16:11Christians to watch for things that look
16:13obviously evil.
16:16Second Corinthians [music] chapter 11
16:17warns that Satan himself can transform
16:21himself [music] into an angel of light.
16:24Something can appear peaceful while
16:25moving humanity in a direction that
16:27ultimately opposes Christ.
16:30And this is where the identity of Jesus
16:32becomes absolutely central again.
16:36Revelation does not describe the final
16:38conflict merely as a battle over
16:40economics or politics.
16:42At its heart, it is a battle over
16:44worship. Who receives worship? Who
16:47receives allegiance? Who has authority?
16:50Who is Lord?
16:52Those questions run through the entire
16:54book.
16:56And Christianity gives one answer.
16:59Jesus Christ.
17:01Philippians says that a day is coming
17:03when every knee will bow at the name of
17:05Jesus and every tongue [music] will
17:07confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
17:11That is why any universal religious
17:13framework eventually has to confront the
17:15question of Christ.
17:17You create a religious system for all
17:20humanity and permanently avoid him.
17:23At some point, you must decide who Jesus
17:25is.
17:27A prophet? A teacher? A man? Or the son
17:30of the living God?
17:32And this particular Noahide teaching has
17:34already given its answer.
17:36It rejects the Christian claim that
17:38Jesus is God incarnate and rejects the
17:41worship of Jesus within its
17:42understanding [music] of proper worship.
17:46So, I believe Christians should watch
17:47what happens in Jerusalem this November
17:50very carefully.
17:52Watch the language being used.
17:55Watch what is actually established.
17:58Watch whether these Continental Councils
18:00[music] develop.
18:02Watch what authority the International
18:04Beit Din claims.
18:06Watch how large the movement becomes.
18:09Watch whether political figures
18:11increasingly engage with it.
18:13Watch whether the idea of the seven
18:15Noahide laws begins appearing more
18:17frequently outside [music] explicitly
18:20religious circles.
18:22Because something does not have to
18:23become a world system tomorrow to be
18:25important today.
18:28Structures develop, institutions grow,
18:31ideas spread.
18:34And sometimes what eventually becomes
18:36[music] enormous begins with something
18:38very few people were paying attention
18:40to.
18:42But above everything else,
18:44keep your eyes on Jerusalem.
18:47Jesus told [music] his followers to
18:49watch. The prophets told us Jerusalem
18:51would matter.
18:53Zechariah saw the nations focused upon
18:55it. Jesus spoke about its future.
18:58Revelation brings us back to it again.
19:02And the Bible's final story doesn't end
19:04in Washington, London, Moscow, Beijing,
19:07or Brussels. Again and again, scripture
19:10brings our attention toward Jerusalem.
19:13So, when an international religious
19:15movement begins talking about humanity,
19:17universal laws, international [music]
19:20authority, and organized structures, and
19:22it chooses Jerusalem as its center,
19:24[music]
19:25Christians should not simply scroll past
19:28it.
19:29We should ask questions. What is being
19:31built? Where could it lead?
19:34Could this remain a relatively small
19:36religious movement for [music] decades?
19:39Absolutely.
19:41But could structures like this
19:43eventually provide pieces of a much
19:45larger international religious
19:47framework? [music]
19:49That is a question worth asking.
19:52Could the world already be developing
19:54the kinds of institutions, ideas,
19:56[music] and systems that one day make
19:58the global authority described in
20:01Revelation possible?
20:03And if that process had already begun,
20:06would we even recognize it?
20:14Donald Trump,
20:15Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian,
20:18Turkey's President [music] Recep Tayyip
20:20Erdoğan,
20:21Jordan's King Abdullah,
20:23the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin
20:25Hamad Al Thani,
20:27French President Emmanuel Macron,
20:31British Prime Minister Andy Burnham,
20:33one by one, some of the most powerful
20:36political figures in the world descended
20:38on New York for the opening of the 81st
20:40United Nations General Assembly.
20:44Presidents, kings, prime ministers,
20:47diplomats, and delegations from across
20:49the world gathered in one place.
20:52The United Nations says its high-level
20:54week began on September 22nd, with
20:57leaders arriving to address wars,
21:00security, diplomacy, and some of the
21:03biggest questions facing their
21:04countries.
21:06Motorcades moved through Manhattan.
21:09Security surrounded the United Nations
21:11headquarters.
21:12Meetings were taking place throughout
21:14the city.
21:16And this year, the gathering was
21:18unfolding at a moment when the Middle
21:20East was already facing enormous
21:22uncertainty.
21:24Iran and the United States were still
21:26[music] locked in conflict.
21:28Israel remained at the center of
21:30regional tensions.
21:32The Strait of Hormuz had become part of
21:34the confrontation.
21:37Gulf governments were watching closely.
21:40And leaders who may disagree on many
21:42things were now arriving in the same
21:44city talking about what happens next.
21:48Iran was represented in New York.
21:51America was there.
21:53Israel's allies were there. Israel's
21:56critics were there. Arab leaders were
21:58there.
22:00And among all of those conversations,
22:02one question kept returning.
22:05Could this conflict eventually end with
22:07an agreement?
22:09Then Donald Trump stepped before the
22:12United Nations General Assembly.
22:14>> Thank you very much.
22:17>> Trump used the speech to talk about
22:18[music] many different subjects.
22:21But Iran occupied an important place in
22:23his address.
22:25He repeated his position that Iran must
22:27never obtain a nuclear [music] weapon.
22:30And then he presented two very different
22:32possibilities for what could happen
22:34next.
22:35An agreement that would allow Iran to
22:37rebuild or a devastating continuation of
22:41the conflict.
22:43The White House's own summary of the
22:45speech highlighted his declaration that
22:47he would not allow Iran to acquire a
22:50nuclear weapon.
22:52Take a look at this moment from his
22:53address.
22:54>> I have a big decision to make.
22:58Will a deal be made with Iran
23:01that lets them rebuild and create a far
23:04greater country than it ever was before.
23:08Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle
23:10East or even the world.
23:13Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic?
23:17>> A deal or further destruction.
23:20Just think about how far apart those two
23:23possibilities are.
23:25On one side
23:26>> [music]
23:27>> there is the possibility of another
23:28period of military escalation.
23:31More attacks, more retaliation, more
23:34uncertainty for Israel, Iran, and the
23:37surrounding countries.
23:39On the other side, there is a
23:40negotiating table. An agreement. The
23:44possibility that Iran could begin
23:46rebuilding after months of conflict.
23:49And those two possibilities were being
23:52spoken about in the same address.
23:55That doesn't mean an agreement is
23:57guaranteed.
23:59It doesn't mean the war is about to end.
24:02But it tells us something important
24:04about where the conversation has now
24:06reached.
24:07Even while military pressure continues
24:10diplomacy has not disappeared.
24:14And while those words were being heard
24:16inside the General Assembly Hall
24:18leaders were also meeting face-to-face
24:21across New York.
24:23Trump met representatives from Gulf and
24:25Middle Eastern countries on the
24:27sidelines of the United [music] Nations
24:29gathering.
24:30The White House confirmed a multilateral
24:33meeting with the Gulf Cooperation
24:35Council
24:36and the wider gathering included leaders
24:38and representatives from countries such
24:40as Jordan, Qatar, and Turkey.
24:44Discussions centered heavily on Iran and
24:46the direction of the conflict.
24:49Iran itself was also signaling that
24:52diplomacy remained possible.
24:55Its delegation in New York had authority
24:57to pursue negotiations, while American
25:00officials said they remained open to
25:02talks if those discussions could produce
25:05meaningful progress on the nuclear
25:07issue.
25:09So, while the speeches continued, there
25:11was another layer to this gathering.
25:14Meetings, conversations, negotiations,
25:18countries trying to determine what a way
25:20forward might actually look like.
25:24Listen to how David Brody described the
25:26importance of the meetings happening
25:28around Trump's address.
25:30>> And just a quick final point if I could
25:32Dan on all of this. Uh
25:34we we talk about the speech, it'll make
25:36the headlines, it has the sound bites
25:38and all of that, but the real work will
25:39be at 2:45 Eastern this afternoon when
25:42the president meets with the Gulf Gulf
25:44Cooperation Council. I mean, that that
25:46that's going to be crucial. I hate to
25:48even call it a poll side, it's not a
25:50poll side, it's an official meeting, but
25:51it's that type of work that gets done,
25:53[music]
25:54if you will, behind the scenes. That's
25:56going to be crucial in terms of the path
25:58going forward, especially as it relates
25:59to whether or not this war gets wider
26:01and if so, by how much.
26:03>> And that's worth paying attention to,
26:05because the United Nations is not only
26:07about what happens at the podium.
26:09[music]
26:10Leaders give speeches that the whole
26:12world can watch,
26:14but they also spend the day moving from
26:16one meeting to another.
26:19Sometimes countries that have been
26:20trading threats are simultaneously
26:22communicating through diplomats,
26:25mediators, or allies.
26:28Sometimes governments that appear very
26:30far apart publicly
26:32are still looking for a formula they
26:34could eventually accept privately.
26:37And on September 22nd, war and diplomacy
26:41were existing side by side.
26:44Later that same day, Trump said
26:47discussions with Iran were continuing
26:49and expressed his belief that a
26:50settlement would eventually be reached.
26:54He maintained that Iran could not be
26:56allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
26:59But at the same time, he spoke openly
27:02about the possibility of a negotiated
27:04outcome.
27:05And negotiation, warnings and meetings,
27:09war,
27:11and the possibility of peace.
27:13And listen to the language used during
27:15this discussion on CBN News because one
27:18particular phrase stands out.
27:20>> If the world is paying attention,
27:23and if anyone in that room goes back to
27:26their countries, and they start working
27:28with the United States, [music]
27:30uh it could lead to uh a golden age of
27:35uh peace within the various nations that
27:38would agree to cooperate together. He is
27:40meeting with Middle East allies today
27:42talking about Iran. He is also meeting
27:44with uh other groups
27:46>> In that clip, [music] CBN correspondent
27:48Kelly Wright gives his own assessment
27:51that cooperation among countries could
27:53potentially produce what he describes as
27:55a golden age of peace.
27:59While pointing to Trump's meetings with
28:00Middle Eastern allies about Iran.
28:04A golden age of peace.
28:07Think about those words for a moment.
28:09Again,
28:11that is the commentator's description.
28:13It is not a promise that this conflict
28:15is about to disappear.
28:17But it tells you something about how
28:19dramatically the conversation can shift.
28:23Months of conflict [music] can produce a
28:25search for negotiations.
28:28Military confrontation can eventually
28:30bring enemies to a table.
28:33Countries that have spent months
28:34preparing for the possibility of a wider
28:37war can suddenly begin asking what a
28:39settlement might look like.
28:41And history has shown us many times that
28:44agreements can appear impossible right
28:46up until the moment serious negotiations
28:49begin. Trump himself has repeatedly
28:52spoken about wanting to be associated
28:54with ending wars and making agreements.
28:58At the United Nations, he told the
29:00assembly that while others had spoken of
29:02peace,
29:03he believed he had acted to make [music]
29:05peace.
29:06And he presented his administration as
29:08one seeking to resolve long-running
29:10conflicts.
29:12>> Uh I think we're we're seeing this.
29:13Look, uh he's not a big fan of the UN,
29:16but he loves the UN as a vessel for a
29:19message of peace.
29:21>> David Brody describes Trump as
29:22increasingly interested in the idea of
29:24being a peace president [music] and says
29:26he sees the United Nations as a platform
29:29for that message.
29:31That is Brody's interpretation [music]
29:33of Trump's political approach.
29:36But it connects directly to the question
29:38now surrounding Iran.
29:40Can the military confrontation
29:42eventually give way to an agreement?
29:45And for Christians watching all of this,
29:48there is something about these words
29:50that naturally brings scripture to mind.
29:53Peace,
29:54safety, agreements between nations,
29:57Israel, the Middle East.
30:001 Thessalonians chapter 5 says,
30:03"For when they shall say, peace and
30:05safety,
30:06then sudden destruction cometh upon
30:08them."
30:10That passage has fascinated Christians
30:12for generations.
30:14Paul is speaking about the day of the
30:15Lord and warning believers not to live
30:18spiritually asleep.
30:21Just before this, he says that the day
30:23comes as a thief in the night.
30:26Then he contrasts darkness with light
30:29and urges believers to remain sober and
30:31watchful.
30:33So, the important thing is not simply to
30:35hear someone use the word peace [music]
30:38and immediately shout, "Prophecy
30:40fulfilled."
30:42The deeper point is watchfulness.
30:45What is happening in the world?
30:47What direction are the nations moving?
30:49What is happening around Israel?
30:51And are we spiritually awake?
30:54Because right now, there is an unusual
30:57combination of events happening at the
30:59same time. [music]
31:00Israel remains surrounded by enormous
31:02regional tensions. Iran has been at the
31:05center of one of the most serious
31:07confrontations in the Middle East.
31:10Gulf nations are trying to protect their
31:13own security and economies.
31:16The United States is applying military
31:18pressure while remaining open to
31:20negotiations.
31:21And leaders are openly discussing what a
31:23future agreement could look like.
31:26Israel matters in this conversation
31:29because Jerusalem and the nation of
31:31Israel appear repeatedly in biblical
31:33prophecy.
31:35Zechariah chapter 12 speaks of Jerusalem
31:37becoming a burdensome stone for the
31:39nations.
31:41Jesus in Luke 21 spoke about Jerusalem
31:45in the context of future events.
31:48The Old Testament prophets [music]
31:50repeatedly bring the nations surrounding
31:52Israel into their descriptions of
31:54conflict, judgment, and restoration.
31:58That doesn't mean we should look at
32:00every missile launch and immediately
32:02attach a Bible verse to it.
32:05But neither should Christians ignore the
32:07region completely. The Bible gives
32:09Jerusalem extraordinary attention.
32:13So when world leaders gather and Israel,
32:15Iran, war, diplomacy, and regional
32:18security all become part of the same
32:20conversation, it is reasonable for
32:22believers to watch carefully.
32:25And then there is Daniel chapter 9.
32:29Daniel 9:27 contains one of the most
32:31discussed prophetic passages in the
32:33Bible.
32:35And he shall confirm the
32:37with many for one week.
32:39There are different interpretations
32:41among Christians about exactly [music]
32:43how every detail of Daniel's prophecy
32:45should be understood.
32:47But among many Christians who hold a
32:49futurist interpretation of prophecy,
32:52this verse is connected with a future
32:55covenant or agreement [music] that will
32:56play an important role in the final
32:58period of biblical history.
33:01Now, think about why that matters. A
33:04covenant requires diplomacy. It requires
33:08parties. [music] It requires
33:09negotiations.
33:11It requires some kind of agreement. That
33:14does not mean the negotiations happening
33:16in New York right now are Daniel 9:27.
33:20We cannot say that.
33:22But it explains why Christians pay
33:24attention whenever the language
33:25surrounding the Middle East begins
33:27changing from war to agreements.
33:31Because imagine how quickly
33:32circumstances could change.
33:35Today, governments may be exchanging
33:38threats.
33:39Tomorrow, representatives could be
33:41sitting across a table.
33:43Today, an agreement could appear
33:45impossible.
33:47Six months from now, the same countries
33:49could be discussing terms nobody
33:51expected.
33:53That is how history often moves.
33:56And you only have to look at the
33:57gathering in New York to see how many
34:00relationships are crossing one another
34:02at the same time.
34:03Trump met Gulf and Middle Eastern
34:05leaders.
34:06France and the United States were
34:08discussing maritime security around the
34:10Strait of Hormuz.
34:12Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and
34:15Egypt [music] used meetings at the UN to
34:18stress diplomacy and dialogue as a path
34:21toward resolving regional conflict.
34:24None of us knows where those
34:25conversations will lead.
34:28Perhaps the conflict continues.
34:31Perhaps negotiations stall.
34:34Perhaps another crisis changes
34:35everything.
34:37Or perhaps at some point a diplomatic
34:39opening appears that looks impossible
34:42today.
34:43That is why Jesus repeatedly called his
34:46followers to watch.
34:48Matthew 24:42 says,
34:51"Watch therefore, for ye know not what
34:54hour your Lord doth come."
34:57Notice what Jesus did not say.
35:00He did not tell us to spend our lives
35:01setting dates. He did not tell us to
35:03panic every time something happened in
35:05Jerusalem.
35:08He said, "Watch. Be ready. Stay awake
35:11because the danger for a Christian is
35:13not that we fail to predict the next
35:15diplomatic agreement correctly.
35:18The danger is that we become so
35:20comfortable with this world that we stop
35:22thinking about [music] Christ's return
35:24altogether. World leaders will continue
35:27meeting. Wars will begin and wars will
35:30eventually end.
35:31Presidents will enter office and leave
35:33office.
35:34Treaties will be signed.
35:36Some will succeed.
35:38Some will fail.
35:40But God's word remains.
35:42So yes, watch what happens with Iran.
35:46Watch what happens with Israel.
35:48Watch the negotiations happening between
35:50the United States and Middle [music]
35:51Eastern governments.
35:53Watch what happens after the cameras
35:55leave the room.
35:57Watch whether the language coming from
35:59this conflict begins moving increasingly
36:01towards settlement and peace.
36:04But while you are watching the nations,
36:07do not forget to watch your own heart.
36:10Because ultimately, presidents cannot
36:13give the human soul eternal peace.
36:16Governments cannot give it.
36:17>> [music]
36:18>> The United Nations cannot give it.
36:20Military strength cannot give it. And
36:22even the greatest peace agreement ever
36:24signed could only provide political
36:26peace for a period of time.
36:29Jesus spoke about a different kind of
36:31peace.
36:33In John 14:27, he said, "Peace I leave
36:36with you. My peace I give unto you. Not
36:39as the world giveth, give I unto you."
36:43That is the peace Christians are
36:45ultimately waiting for. Not simply the
36:48end of one war, not simply another
36:50agreement between governments,
36:52but the return of Jesus Christ and the
36:55fulfillment of everything God has
36:57promised.
36:59So, as the world's leaders gather in New
37:02York, as America and Iran consider what
37:04comes next, as Israel watches
37:07developments around it,
37:09and as diplomats continue searching for
37:11a way forward,
37:13remember this.
37:14We do not need to know tomorrow's
37:16headline to be ready.
37:18We do not need to predict the date.
37:22We do not need to live in fear.
37:25We simply need to watch, remain
37:27faithful, and keep our trust in Jesus
37:30Christ.
37:31Because whatever happens next in the
37:33Middle East, whatever agreement is
37:35signed or rejected, [music] and whatever
37:37direction the nations choose to take,
37:40God hasn't lost control.
37:43And that is where our confidence should
37:45remain.
