All right, everybody. Um, I am jumping
right into this video. No intros, uh, no
real postp production for the first part
of this video because I just really want
you to feel how serious, uh, what I'm
about to talk about really is. Um,
there's a critical message tied to this
piece of news, and I don't want you to
take this piece of news as just like
something that just happened and here we
go. Uh, I think it's very positive, but
at the same time, I also think that it
means we're going to have to be more on
guard than we ever have been, more
alert. And although this is a very
physical thing, there's also a very
spiritual component tied to this. And
being that we are on the weekend of
Thanksgiving, I think we are the most
vulnerable. Now you might be watching
this much later and if you are the
message still applies because we are in
a very very dangerous place right now uh
in our country and I want to talk about
it. So this article is kind of what
prompted me to feel this way. It says
here Trump directs Treasury State to
consider Muslim Brotherhood terror
designation which by the way is a
phenomenal piece of news. And we'll talk
about what that means in a minute. A
matter of fact, I'll do a little bit of
analysis for you based on this article
uh in terms of uh the implications that
that carries for the Middle East. I
actually think that Trump did this uh
very intently. I actually think that it
was part of a guarantee that he may have
made to other Middle Eastern countries,
namely Egypt uh and probably a few
others. But with that said, and there
are some interesting geopolitical
uh things to think about, there is a
biblical issue that I want to bring up
and it's major and I think that God is
using a series of things, this being one
of them, to open up our eyes and to warn
us about the things that are coming. Let
me read this to you. It says, "US
President Donald Trump signed an
executive order on Monday directing the
US secretaries of state and the Treasury
to consider designating chapters of the
Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist
organizations." By the way, very, very
good thing that that's happening. We'll
talk about why in a minute. According to
a White House fact sheet, the president
has ordered the two departments to
submit a report within 30 days with
recommendations to designate national
chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as
foreign terrorist organizations or
specially designated global terrorists
and to implement those recommendations
within 45 days of the report's
publication. Okay, guys. So, the the
reason why this is actually happening is
because they need time to do the
appropriate due diligence because there
are a whole series of legal issues that
come up with this type of designation,
especially when we're dealing with
people who claim to be American citizens
or are American citizens and are
associating themselves with this group.
It also changes the name of the game for
what happens internationally because
when the State Department makes these
formal designations, it actually changes
the way we do arms deals with some of
the countries that have formal
associations with these guys. And it can
actually change a whole series of other
issues like relationships that exist
within the Middle East. Which by the
way, I think that this is being done to
manipulate some uh very positive aspects
of what this can do uh in uh with the
formal diplomatic corps. Okay. Uh
obviously it has some clear implications
for Israel because of Hamas. Remember,
the Islamic Brotherhood uh is the father
of Hamas, but there's other uh
organizations that they tie themselves
to that would be extremely helpful for
the White House to be able to designate
them as such because it opens up the
door to provide certain security
guarantees to other Middle Eastern
countries. But there's a bigger issue
here. We're going to get into in just a
second. Look what it goes on to say, and
this is a quote here. It says,
"President Trump is confronting the
Muslim Brotherhood's transnational
network, which fuels terrorism and
destabilization campaigns against US
interests and allies in the Middle
East." This is the White House speaking.
Here's another quote from the White
House. It says, "The order's ultimate
aim is to eliminate the designated
chapters, capabilities, and operations,
deprive them of resources, and any
threat such chapters pose to US
nationals and the national security of
the United States." The order
specifically highlights the activities
of three chapters of the brotherhood as
a threat to the United States. By the
way, this is very very important to
understand because where it extends
becomes one of the areas that we have to
be keeping our eyes open towards. And uh
uh you know, some of this relates to
what we've been seeing in Europe. Some
of this relates to some of the things
we're actually seeing on college
campuses. I'm going to get into that in
just a minute. Look at the next quote
here. And this is what the order
actually says. It says it's chapters in
Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt engage in or
facilitate and support violence and
destabilization campaigns that harm
their own regions, United States
citizens, and United States interests.
By the way, I'm going to make myself
very, very clear. It's not a coincidence
that in the order Lebanon is named,
Jordan is named, and Egypt is named.
Okay? Especially Jordan and Egypt
because Jordan and Egypt wants nothing
to do with uh Muslim Brotherhood,
Islamic Brotherhood. They want nothing
to do with these organizations for a lot
of very important reasons. As a matter
of fact, this is the reason why Egypt
wants nothing to do with housing any
Palestinian refugees or wants nothing to
do with anything that relates to Islamic
Brotherhood for obvious reasons,
especially as it relates to maintaining
security, not just in Rafa, which is the
northern part of the country at the
border, but as well in maintaining
security in the Sinai. There's a lot of
uh lot of other details that goes with
that, but look what it goes on to say.
It says it cites as an example the
aftermath of the October 7th attacks in
Israel during which the military wing of
the Lebanese chapter of the Muslim
Brotherhood joined Hamas Hezbollah and
Palestinian factions to launch multiple
rocket attacks against both civilian and
military targets within Israel which by
the way is a valid point to bring up
because they were being used as
diversionary tools to be able to put
into effect the bigger issue which was
the elimination of all of these innocent
people. The order states that quote a
senior leader of the Egyptian chapter of
the Muslim Brotherhood on October 7,
2023 called for violent attacks against
the United States partners and interests
and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood leaders
have long provided material support to
the militant wing of Hamas. Such
activities threaten the security of
American civilians in the Levant and
other parts of the Middle East as well
as the safety and stability of our
regional partners. The article goes on
to say, "Under US law, a foreign
terrorist group must threaten the
security of United States nationals or
the national security of the United
States in order to be formally
designated as a foreign terrorist
organization. Founded in Egypt in 1928
as a pan-Islamic revivalist movement,
the Brotherhood is the forerunner of
virtually all Sunni Islamist movements
and spawn chapters and offshoots
throughout the Islamic world, including
Hamas. The Egyptian Brotherhood and its
chapters have varied over time in their
willingness to embrace political
violence, including terrorism, or engage
in peaceful political processes.
Previous American administrations have
declined to designate the Muslim
Brotherhood as a terrorist group,
arguing that the group's chapters were
too diffuse or did not directly threaten
US security, which by the way is an
insane statement to make because of
course they've uh threatened uh United
States security. They've always actually
threatened many of the securities of the
neighboring countries to Israel and some
of the countries that we've already
named here. Look what the article goes
on to say. It says James Clapper, then
the US director of national
intelligence, testified before the house
in 2011 that the phrase Muslim
Brotherhood is an umbrella term for a
variety of movements in the case of
Egypt, a very heterogeneous group
largely secular, which has eskeewed
violence and decrieded al-Qaeda as a
perversion of Islam, which by the way
isn't even a completely truthful or
accurate statement for Clapper to make.
And by the way, I should just point this
out. It doesn't really bring into
fruition what the real problems are
represented by Islamic Brotherhood for a
lot of reasons. Okay. And when you begin
to tear apart what happened with Hamas,
you'll really understand what's being
said. I think Clapper is being very uh
for lack of a better term, mild about
what the real problem is. And of course,
that's what led to many of the problems
that we're going to read about right
here. Clapper, who delivered that
testimony shortly after Egyptian
dictator Hussein Mobak was overthrown,
said they have pursued social ends and a
betterment of the political order in
Egypt, which by the way is a complete
lie. None of that is true. Look at the
quote that he goes on to say. He says,
"In other countries, there are also
chapters or franchises of the Muslim
Brotherhood, but there is no overarching
agenda, particularly in pursuit of
violence, at least internationally."
He's a liar. Okay, that isn't true. And
we know that that's not true. We know
that that was done in order to support
the Clinton State Department, which of
course helped Obama put into effect
everything that we understand to be the
Arab Spring. This type of lie was one
that was used to overthrow Mubarak. And
let me make myself clear, Hosni Mubarak
was not a good guy, but he was much
better than the alternative that came
into play under the leadership of the
Islamic Brotherhood. These people are
very, very serious about what they do.
They are nothing like the way Clapper
characterized them being. And I should
also note that all of these lies,
literally almost every single one of
these lies were directly responsible for
the kind of damage that took place
during this time that we referred to as
the Arab Spring. Whether it be what
happened in Syria, whether it be the
relationships damaged in Turkey, whether
it be the division that was created
between Turkey and Syria, the rise of
the PKK and all the other or the rise of
the influence of the PKK and all of the
other divisions that took place which
ushered in Russia into Syria, which
created a huge problem in Libya. It's
actually the creator of Benghazi. It's
the very thing that actually created the
very problem that we saw with uh uh uh
with the leader of Libya actually being
killed. And when Gaddafi was killed, he
was actually killed for removing their
nuclear program in essence. And of
course, uh that was not a very good
situation. But every bit of that had
everything to do with factions of the
Islamic Brotherhood and the way that the
United States chose to elevate them and
which was of course a huge mistake. And
I've said this before and I'll say this
again. President Trump is dismantling
the Islamic Brotherhood. He is
dismantling everything that has anything
to do with what contributed to the Arab
Spring. He is reverse engineering the
Attab Spring. I've said that time and
time again. And that's why people like
Obama completely hate our president. But
it's a good move. Look at the next
paragraph. It says, "Tday later, Clapper
partially withdrew his comments about
the Brotherhood whose models include
Islam is the solution and the Quran is
our constitution." Which, by the way,
that's always been their statement. It's
always been what they believe. And if
you truly believe that, then you believe
in deception. You believe in lies. You
believe in continuing to plan deception.
Why? Because your God is the chief of
deceivers. And that's a very, very
important thing. That's what in essence
their God is. It says it,
which means that Allah is the chief of
deceivers. Those things cannot be
ignored. It's super critical. And folks,
this has been the story of Islam from
the very beginning. And that's going to
take us to the thing that I really,
really want to talk about, and I'm going
to bring it up at the end of this
article. But look what it goes on to
say. It says, "Attitudes towards the
Brotherhood and its ideology sharply
divide the Sunni Islamic world with
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab
Emirates among its most ardent opponents
and Turkey and Qatar, the Brotherhood's
strongest backers. The Brotherhood is
already a designated terrorist
organization in the former three
countries. While the Islamism of
Turkeykey's ruling justice and
development party, the AK is
particularly inspired by the
Brotherhood, which by the way, we should
note this that when we talk about
Erdogan, Erdogan is in essence the
leader of the AK. He is in in essence
Islamic Brotherhood in Turkey. That's an
undeniable truth. And of course, Katad
is very very uh m maybe dare I say
monumentally supportive of them. And of
course, we know that because we watched
how they treated the leaders of Hamas.
And we've watched so much of what
they've done. And there's a lot to be
said about that. Look at the next
paragraph. It says, "Designating the
Brotherhood has long been a goal of
Trump's senior director for
counterterrorism at the National
Security Council, Sebastian Gora, who
welcomed the announcement on Monday."
"History has been made," Gorka wrote. As
we left the oval, President Trump
explicitly instructed us to inform the
world of his tectonic act, which by the
way is a remarkable thing for the
president to do. I think that it's very
important step that he took in order to
basically reverse engineer the terrible
effects of what happened during that
time of the Arab Spring. And it is
uniquely consequential to begin to see
stability in the land, especially as it
relates to countries like Saudi Arabia,
Egypt, even Libya, many of these other
countries that surround the
Mediterranean. You have to be able to
get this problem uh uh taken care of.
And by that problem being taken care of,
it also equips some of these other
countries with the tools to be able to
enhance their security. Now, I
personally think this has been all about
uh normalization with Israel. I think
this is part of the president being able
to lay down security uh guarantees in
order to make sure that the promises
that are made with respect to the
stability necessary in order to maintain
the infrastructure of peace would be
facilitated. And that has to be done by
making Islamic Brotherhood uh the
combatants that they really are at least
under official channels. Now, here's the
reason why I say beware.
Here's the reason why I say be alert.
Here's the reason why I'm saying being
careful. You have to go back to what the
Bible says when we hear the discussion
of the end times. Okay? I want to remind
you of what it says in 1 Thessalonians
chapter 5. And I want to do this under
the opus of reminding you the context
that existed in this conversation. The
apostle Paul is talking about the end
times here. He's talking about the
rapture. He just finished talking about
the rapture and he just finished
discussing with them the things that
they should be expecting in the last
days. Then he brings them back to the
current moment and he says this about
the very things that he spoke about.
Okay? He finishes telling them about the
rapture. He says, "Encourage one another
with these words." And then he says,
"But of the times and the seasons,
brethren, you have no need that I write
unto you. For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh as a
thief in the night. For when they shall
say, peace and safety, then sudden
destruction cometh upon them as travail
upon a woman with child, and they shall
not escape. But you, brethren, notice
what he says here, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a
thief. You are all the children of the
light and the children of the day. We
are not of the night nor of darkness.
But then here's the command that he
gives. And this is the whole reason why
I'm actually making this video. I need
you to see how serious this really is.
He says, "Therefore," this is verse six,
"let us not sleep as do others, but let
us do what?" He gives us these two
commands. He said, "Let us watch and be
sober." I want to make myself very, very
clear. Soiety is not determined by a
lack of consumption of alcohol. Although
I think that if you're in the ministry,
you have no business drinking.
Has nothing to do with that.
is maintained by a commitment to absolve
yourself from sinful activity.
The more you give yourself into sinful
behavior and sinful action, the the more
blind you become as into the things that
are around you. We hear very good
people, dear friends of mine, like
Victor Marx for example, who constantly
preaches, be aware of your surroundings,
and you should. You walk down the
street, you should know what's in front
of you, behind you, to the left of you,
to the right of you. When you're walking
into a room, you should know what kind
of room you're walking into. You should
never have your back to a bunch of
things that could leave you vulnerable.
These are all basic simple rules that
deal with developing an awareness of
your surroundings. But the bigger
exhortation here is you can be aware of
the things in your immediate space until
you're blew in the face. But if you are
inebriated, you lose the ability to be
able to process that. Guys, we've been
watching what's been happening in
Europe. Islamic attacks are increasing.
Islamic culture is beginning to take
over and it is literally changing the
mindset of Western civilization.
We cannot allow ourselves to be given to
the destructive force that we begin to
see coming into fruition. And the only
way to do that is to stay as close to
the Lord as you possibly can. Guys, the
number one contributo variable that is
creating the condition that we're
watching right now all over Europe,
especially in the UK, is a commitment to
sinfulness.
That commitment to sinfulness has taken
away the general sobriety of the people
who claim to be the church. And as a
result, we're seeing almost a hundred
unofficial Sharia courts that have
developed within the UK alone. It's
going to get worse. It's not going to
get better. The days are going to get
darker. And yet, for us as Christians,
we have to stop refusing to turn on the
light.
We must remain sober. We must remain
watchful. We must be thinking about the
things that are surrounding us. And we
must take seriously the very things that
we're being challenged with.
Let me read what he says here in verse
7. He says, "For they that sleep sleep
in the night, and they that be drunken
are drunken in the night." And look what
he goes on to say. But let us who are of
the day be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love, and for a
helmet the hope of salvation. Why?
Because he says it. He even makes it
clear in the next verse. He says, "God
hasn't appointed us to wrath."
But the point behind it all is that the
real protection that we can find
ourselves sitting behind is the
protection that's created from a
decision to be obedient to the God of
heaven.
And if we will allow ourselves to walk
in obedience and not be concerned about
what the rest of the world thinks,
then we allow ourselves to become far
more aware of the surroundings
that engulf us and we begin to bring
preservation
to the world that we're in.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm in
a mode right now. I'm in a mind where I
think the attacks against America are
going to increase. I think that the
desire for evil people to do the things
that they're doing is going to grow. I
think the enemy is going to turn up the
heat at the full level of deflection
that he possibly can. And he's going to
seek to destroy the minds and the hearts
of so many. And for us, the only way to
combat this is to remain sober and to be
watchful. We've got to be vigilant. We
have an enemy that hates us. And when
you see stories like this, I'm telling
you, you're also going to begin to see
more stories of terrorist activity.
All of that should be used as a tool to
cause us to be reminded to pay attention
to the most important thing. And what's
the most important thing? Our walk with
God. The most important thing is where
we are at spiritually. What does God say
about the moment we're in?
How does God want us to act within that
moment, within that day, within that
time? These are all very critical
issues. We need to wake up. We need to
be mindful of those things. And we need
to allow those things to cause us to not
only be aware, but to walk in faith,
trusting that God is going to get us
through every single day. Not just in
survival, but in victory. We've got to
do it, guys. We don't have a choice. The
world is coming down on us fast and
we've got to open up our eyes to see
what's really happening. God bless you
and please, I'm begging you, stay aware,
keep your eyes open, get out there and
fight the good fight. It's the only
fight worth fighting.
