The Book of Revelation and the Great Revival | Full Documentary | PragerU

[Music] Then another sign appeared in heaven. An enormous red dragon. Revelation 12:3. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Allah [Music] alone. Hello. Come back. [Music] [Music] Hey everybody. Once again, an armed attack in the Middle East, but this time it's different. Palestinians celebrated as Hamas terrorists paraded their prisoners through Gaza, of which many were women and children. October 7th is a day that will forever live in infamy. They raped women. They beheaded men. They killed parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents. It was the bloodiest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. [Music] 1,200 murdered, 250 taken hostage. The Israelis intercepted a call from a Hamas terrorist during the attack. [Music] [Music] Revelation. Come on. [Music] [Music] Raphaela Tristman and her boyfriend Hanani Glazer were at the Nova Festival 3 miles from the Gaza border. You came here on October 7th uh for a music festival. My boyfriend Hanani was crazy about this type of parties. So you had artists from all around the world and people from all around the world. When did you get the first indication that something was wrong? I mean we were all dancing and happy and we were in front of the main stage. The sun started to come up and everybody started to feel more and more energized and suddenly the music just stopped and then we started hearing a lot of rockets and we started seeing from Gaza which is from there a lot of rockets in the sky and uh we started running. [Music] go. We went to the 2323 road which nowadays is known as the death road and we started running and searching for shelter because in every bus station you have a road shelter which is basically this small blocks of cement with no door and we got into one of those in hope that would be all the protection that we would need and we were wrong. We sat at the very back of the shelter and a few minutes after a lot of people started to come inside and we became to be 40 people claustrophobic and one person on top of the other and we couldn't breathe. When they got there, the first thing that they did was to murder a police officer that we heard screaming from the outside of the shelter. [Music] Everyone that tried to get outside was shot. Now they threw inside gas grenades, strapple grenades, hand grenades and they started taking people out and burning bodies outside. And then when what are you doing? Are you crouching down? Are you at the bottom? And they were just piled on top of you. It was just a huge mess and blood everywhere and parts and people dismembered and very badly injured. Uh, and I just stayed like that for about 5 hours. Out of the 40 people, only 10 survived. So, 30 were murdered inside of the shelter. Hanani also tried to get out. When I got out, I saw Hanani's body at the entrance. How have you recovered psychologically? It's very hard to believe what happened even though I was there and seeing with my own eyes and seeing them laughing and killing and having fun with it. And when they would actually get inside to shoot people, they were laughing but laughing like like someone told the best joke that you ever heard. Is that to you almost like a a definition of true evil? Yeah. I I I couldn't see a soul. Uh it's only darkness. [Music] A glimpse into the mind of a Hamas militant. Good evening. What is your full name? How old are you? Where are you from? The Israeli Defense Forces interrogate a terrorist who attacked a kibbutz. So you entered the house and then you saw her in the room and what did you do? That's Gaza. [Music] I didn't expect to be here. When we came to Israel, our friend said, "What are you doing? There's a war going on. You're not going to Gaza, are you?" We said, "Of course not." But here we are. Hamas attacked 19 kiboo's communities during October 7th. One was Nahal Oz near the Gaza border. Lishai Miran, a mother and wife, was there on that fateful day. Lisha, in the very short time we have been here at your house, we hear these loud explosions. There you go. Right there. Um, this is our life. [Music] While we were filming near the Gaza border, the IDF was targeting terrorists. Machine gun fire and artillery rounds were constant. How far is it from here to the Gaza border? We are 700 m from Gaza border. 700 m. Yeah, that's it. On October 7th, what happened? We were here in our home and when everything starts, we go to our safe room. Lishai, her husband Omry and two children sheltered in place. But around 9:00, we start to hear the shooting and the yelling. Hey, go ahead. Go ahead. Go. Giveim, give him. At 10:30, they get into our home from the window and Alma was in my arms. I put my hand on her mouse because I I really scared that she start to yelling or crying. [Music] And after 2 minutes, we hear a lot of people in inside our home. They start to yelling at us to get out from the safe room. Meanwhile, Lishai's neighbors are being held captive. Come with me. Come with me. Talk to him to open the door. The terrorists themselves live streamed the video. I can't go out. The neighbor's son is forced to Lehi's home and then we hear a voice in Hebrew. Please open the door because if you don't open the door, they are going to kill you and they are going to kill me. So, please open the door. You recognize the voice? Yeah, we recognize the voice. We decide to open the door and then we see that we have in inside our little home uh five monsters. They took us to another home. Uh and then we sitting over there two families together. The terrorists killed the teenage boy whose name is Tor Aa. Then they kidnapped Lehi's husband. They just took him. And you haven't seen him since? No. But we are still waiting. And if she says to you, "Where is my dad? Where is my father?" What is your answer to her now? Told her the daddy in Gaza. This is a propaganda video released by Hamas the day we interviewed Lehi. What do you think is the driving force behind this kind of barbaric and evil behavior? I can't really understand this. You know, if I don't want to get into the devil and the monster's mind, you know, all all this was a blood and there is a body over there and we saw all the things things you don't expect to see in your lifetime, right? Uh not me and uh of course not my children. The Jewish always say never again, but unfortunately never again happened in October 7. They came here to our kibbuts, to our home. They burned, they raped, they killed, they kidnapped people and children. Seems to me, Jonathan, one of the unique aspects of your work is the way in which you use the Bible as a kind of interpretive key to unlock the significance of large current events. The Bible gives a premise that God is behind the world. He operates in the world. He uses history. He uses world events. And we can interpret current events in the light of what came before. Mhm. But also in the light of what's coming. I'm walking along the Gaza border, which was overrun by terrorists on October 7th. It's an eerie feeling. This is a region where there seem to be no solutions and there's not even a clear idea of what the problems are. Israel has been blowing up targets here for 2 years since October 7th. But the war is bigger than Gaza. These are rockets recently fired by Iran, the chief foreign backer of Hamas, which were a response to Israel targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, military sites, scientists, and military leadership. [Music] Then the US got involved. Short time ago, the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel and God bless America. For the Jews, these conflicts have been going on since the founding of the state of Israel in 1948. For Iran, it goes back to 1979 when the Ayatollah Kmeni came to power and radical Islam captured its first major state. But in some ways, the conflict has deeper roots. It goes back to the founding of Islam itself in the 7th century. Islam has not lost the force of its original revelation. The Jews claimed to be the original inhabitants of this land going back to the time of Abraham. The Lord had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people, and your father's household to the land I will show you, and I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you." Genesis 12 1-2. Yet, all of this is highly contested globally. The political left blames Israel for the conflict and supports the Palestinian claim to the land of Israel from the river to the sea. Today we're here to highlight the human costs of the occupation. Occupation of Palestine. What does occupation mean? Taking people's land, taking people's livelihood away from them. Most Muslims and others too believe Israel is the colonizer and occupier of stolen land. There was even a skeptical faction on the political right. Where does my support for Israel come from? Number one, because biblically we are commanded to support Israel. But we're commanded as Christians to support the government of Israel. We are commanded to support Israel. And we're told those who bless Israel will be blessed. But what? Hold on. Define Israel. Could Do you not know what Israel is? That's what God is talking about. The nation of Israel. Yes. The And he's So is that the current borders, the current leadership? He's talking about the political entity called Israel. He's talking about the nation of Israel. Yeah. nations exists and he is discussing a nation. A nation was the people of Israel. The nation referring to in Genesis is that the same as the country run by Benjamin Netanyahu right now. Yes. Yes. So who are the Jews? Who are the Palestinians? And whose land is it really? Jerusalem is the holiest place on earth, a sacred site for three of the world's great religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It's the most disputed piece of real estate on planet Earth. Here, nothing is ever solved or resolved. What do the scriptures tell us about this place? Are today's conflicts connected to what the Bible calls the end times? Could the fate of the world, of humanity itself, be somehow tied to this place? Everything is back to where it was in ancient times. Remarkably, the Israelites had many enemies. The Hittites, the Moabites, of course, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, and so on. But it seems like the Philistines were a persistent and maybe in some ways the most longlasting enemy of Israel. The prophets, when it speaks about the Philistines, it says you have this ancient hatred, this vengeance for Israel. The Philistines acted in vengeance and took revenge with deep contempt, destroying because of their ancient hatred. Ezekiel 25:15. That whole hatred has been revived. You have a people there almost who are set for the purpose of attacking or delegitimizing Israel. And how does America fit into the picture? The Iranian rulers identify America as the ultimate target, the great Satan. They're chanting death to America all around me, even as I say, "Oh, I'm an American." Uh, reporting for CNN, and they were happy to speak to me. So, so that those two um the sort of jarring realities of the chant and yet uh the the friendliness have existed together. Like her, many Americans don't get it. What we do know is it's a battle between good and evil. But who is good and who is evil? Ezekiel foretold a war that he says it'll happen when Israel has gathered back from the nations. He talks about an alliance of nations that will invade the land. Well, one of them is Sudan. He calls it Kush. The amazing thing is that Sudan had a part in October 7th. Another one is called Put which today is Libya, North Africa. Libya also was behind October 7th. Asia Minor and Turkey. Turkey also had a big part in October 7th in funding it. And and the other one he mentions is Paras, which is Iran, which is the key of all this. The Iranian revolution actually moved us into Bible prophecy because now Iran is the arch enemy of Israel. All these nations that Ezekiel actually mentions tells us we are aligning up specifically with Bible prophecy. It is racing forward and the four horsemen of the apocalypse depicted in the book of revelation. You speak about the colors of the apocalypse. The first horse it says was white which linked to conquest. The second is red linked to war. The third one is black which represents famine. And the last one, the fourth one is green or pale green which represents death. Now the amazing thing is the colors of the apocalypse have actually been manifesting in our world as never before because the flag of Palestine is white for the white horse, red for the red horse, black for the black horse, and green for the green horse. The colors of the apocalypse. The enemy takes the things of God and he desecrates them. and I will be free from the river to the sea. I will be free. From the river to the sea. When they say from the river to the sea, they're speaking about the destruction of Israel because those were the borders of Israel. But it comes from thousands of years ago when God gave Abraham and his descendants. He promised them the land. He said, "I've given it to you from the river to the sea." So now the enemy takes God's word which is a promise to Israel, inverts it to attack Israel, and it becomes a chant against Israel. There's a larger story here, one that is both timely and timeless, and one that involves you. So join me as I explore this fascinating landscape in my new documentary film, The Dragon's Prophecy.
