Private Investigator Expierence Podcast: Will there be peace in the Middle East: Episode 59

On this episode I am answering some questions from around the world. Many listeners from other countries are interested in where America stands with the Israel Hamas war? Will America support Israel in case of a war with Iran? Is there going to be a third world war? Will there be a two state solution between Israel and the Palestine's? That is a no. I will explain as in this episode from my experience on the ground the the Middle and from the source book which tells the story of how the problem started between Israel and the Arab world. I end the episode with a challenge  to do your own investigation and see if I am correct.

Hello. Thank you for joining me today on the Private Investigator Experience podcast. And I'm your host, Phil Little. On this podcast, we talk about the life and cases of a PI. And I also, use my international experience to investigate violence, terrorism, and crime out around the world, which will affect us here at home. It's not might. Or if it will Today i'm using my military law enforcement intelligence and global security background to answer. Sorry about that some of the questions I get asked Now these questions are not only coming from the u. s. But other parts of the world and to me because of The question we're looking at today two or three actually points to other parts of the world being interested in what the U. S. is doing, knowing a strong America benefits the rest of the world. I think too many politicians today have forgotten the model, peace through strength. Well, let's get to that first question I was asked. Will there ever be peace between Israel and the Arabs, who are called Palestinians? What is the real situation between Israel and Iran? Are we approaching a third world war? What will America's role be in the Israel Iran conflict? First, to put it bluntly, I'm amazed at the ignorance of history that many world leaders exhibit in the promotion of this so called two state solution. will never happen. Why can I be so positive? You might be wondering, how did a Hollywood private investigator get involved in this issue? Well, I have believed from the start of my career that if you have information that will help the public good, you should share it. My first substantial use of my investigative experience to search out a potential world situation was in my first book, Hostile Intent, which talks about my starting in counter terrorism in southern Lebanon and Israel, where I use the Bible to determine what might be going on and where did this terrorism all start from. This issue, issue around that we're talking about today, all these questions, is Bible based in history. And so to understand the real problem, we must look at the source for the understanding of what is going on. Now, if we're not willing to look at the force the, now, if we're not willing to look at the source, the Bible, then we don't have the right to be promoting solutions which lead people astray. As a child, I grew up with the Bible, and I have a biblical worldview. When I first was exposed to terrorism in Israel and southern Lebanon, I soon began to ask myself, Where did terrorism begin? That led me to use my investigating skills to search out the history, which led me to the Bible. Terrorism and evil go all the way back to the beginning of time. And what you find as you investigate the facts, that it really is a fight between good and evil. Why not a two state solution? Sounds reasonable. In the Middle East with the state of the so called Palestinian people. Now, they're really Arabs, and there never has been a Palestinian state. But that's a topic for another time. If there were two states, then both would have to have the purpose of living together in peace. That has never happened and won't happen unless Hamas and Hezbollah get their backs to the wall and with the direction from Iran, they might agree for a time, but they'll cross their fingers. How many of you know that old saying that I'm talking about? I'm dating myself. When I grew up as a kid, I always heard, if you don't plan on doing what you say, cross your fingers behind your back. That means you don't have to do it. That you're really just talking to someone. So I think that might happen. But it'll take something very, very serious to get to that point. why am I so convinced? That peace will never come between the Israelites and the Palestinians. First, remember behind all this is discord is Iran. They vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Both Hamas and Hezbollah have in their charters for the total destruction of Israel, and in the past, they have refused offers of the two state solution. All this misinformation that's going on in the press. We need to look beyond that and do our own investigation. Where did it all begin? Well, let's go back a few thousand years. Two people made a bad choice. If you're interested in finding out this story, because I'm only going to be able to summarize it in the few minutes we have together. Go to the Bible, the book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, chapters 16 21. And this will tell you the start of the story and more details of what I'm telling you today. People make bad decisions. I have, and I suspect you have too. Well this story starts with the life of Abraham. I think most people in the world have probably heard the name Abraham. No matter what religion you might be in, or maybe you don't have any, but that name Abraham is a pretty famous name. Now, Abraham was not a perfect man. He made mistakes, just like you and me. But one thing he had that connected him to God. Abraham had faith and trust in God. Abraham trusted God, and for that reason, Abraham was chosen by God to be the father of a big nation that God would bless, and God would bring his salvation to the world through the line of Abraham. Well, the only problem we had here at this point, Abraham was 86 years old. He didn't have a son. His wife, Sarah, was pregnant. So, where was this error going to come from to be a start of Abraham's descendants, which would become the Jewish race? God had told him his descendants would be, look up at the sky, he said, in those days you could look up out there in that desert and surroundings, and you saw thousands and thousands and thousands of stars, he said, your descendants are going to be more than that. let's think about a point in our own lives here, a point in the story. Here is a man, Abraham, who had all the faith in God, but when the angel told him he was going to have a son, he with all his faith, though, thought, God, how are you going to do that? I think it's impossible, I'm 86, my wife is too old to have children, we're past it. And he was kind of fudging on his faith there. And Sarah, his wife, felt the same way. So his wife had a great solution. You know, usually when my wife has a solution, it's pretty good. Well, this one with Abraham's wife wasn't so good as it turned out to be. With many families in that time, they had servants who were just like part of their family. And so she decided, I'll give Abraham my second wife. servant Hagar, to become his wife, and maybe I'll have a child through her. Yeah, I'm not really sure how that works out. It's not a blood situation, but it was, I guess it was prominent back in that day. Now she goes to Abraham and tells him the story. Now Abraham, with all his faith in God, could have been the man of faith here with his wife, and said, no, Sarah, this is not God's way. We will just wait for God to act. But, like a man, perhaps he was thinking, Oh, another wife might be okay. He decided not to wait on God and said, Okay, wife, I want to make you happy if this is what you want. Yes, it was all in Sarah, right? Hagar, Sarah's servant, got pregnant, had a son, and they named him Ishmael, and the family trouble started. Hagar began to cause Sarah problems with gloating over her that, Oh, I had a child and you can't, and he's going to be an heir to Abraham. Well, Sarah finally couldn't take it. She went to Abraham and said, get rid of this woman. You know, it wasn't too long before she was offering him to be a wife. But you know, let's think about something. I thought about this. Maybe Sarah was just testing Abraham. And really in her heart wanted him to say, no, Sarah, you're my wife. I'll wait on God. But whatever the reason, we really don't know. This happened. We're dealing with this mistake they made today. Well God entered the scene and told Abraham Ishmael would not be his heir, but you will have a son, a child with Sarah. So 13 years later with Abraham being a hundred and 90, she gave birth. to a son who was named Isaac. Now, all this is history. This is not a fable. This is not some story written in the Bible. It's been proven over and over again. So, whatever happened, God did it. Nothing's impossible with God. As the story goes, Abraham then, and I'm leaving a lot out of the details for time sent Hagar and Hagar. and Ishmael away. Out in the desert Hagar thought they were going to die. And but God sent an angel to her and told her that God was going to bless Ishmael also as Abraham had prayed because Abraham was his father. Now you can find that in Genesis 21, chapter 21, 8 through 21 in the Bible. God blessed Ishmael because he was Abraham's son, but Here's a catch. God said there would be discord and fighting between Ishmael and Isaac. Ishmael became a warrior, an archer, a fighter. And what started then was the things that we're dealing with today. For God said to Abraham. He was going to give the land that he was on, the land that, some of that, that Israel's on today, but it's only a fraction of what God gave to them for possession. And God said the land would be the Jews forever. Now one thing I've learned about God, He doesn't lie and He doesn't change His mind. From my years of studying the Bible and the world events, I find the Word of God very compelling and truthful. In other words, God does not lie or change. He doesn't change his mind, decide, okay, maybe I, I really thought about that, and I'll, I'll make a change here. But this decision that Abraham and Sarah made, frames, forms the underbelly of the war that's been going on since the birth of Ishmael. From Ishmael, the Arab nation was born, long before Mohammed was born and the Muslim religion was formed. The problem between Jew and Arab started about 3, 800 years ago, and there's not been peace between them since. I've had friends over the years who didn't believe in God and the Bible, thought it was a myth, just a way to entrap people into a way of life. Let me pose the questions to you that I did to them. Let's say, what if I'm right? Why don't you think about that? What if the Bible is what it claims to be the living Word of God? What if God did send his Son to the earth, born of a virgin, lived for 33 years, then died on the cross, and paid the penalty for all our sins once and for all, and then was arose from the grave, and now is sent into the right hand of God? What if the free gift of God can be received without any cost to us? We can't ever be good enough. We're trying to be good. We can't buy our way. There's not enough money to do that. God said, that's not possible, but all we had to do was repent of our sins, turn our lives over to God, accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior by faith that God said him and to do what he said, that was to give us a way that we would have access back to God. So there's no costs there. You haven't emptied your bank account. You haven't given up anything really, because what you've given up is is a life that's not going to have eternity in it without God. Well, what if I'm right? And God is who he says he is. He's the only way to heaven to spend eternity with him. What if I am right? What have you gained without good works or payment? You will have gained an eternity with God and help with your life while on earth here and now. Alright, but so if I'm wrong, and you're right, and there is no God, what has it cost you? Nothing. But what if I'm right, and you didn't receive Him and His death on the cross as payment for our sins? You have lost everything. An eternity without God. That, for me, is a very sobering thought that I would want to consider. The other question is, and I hope you go digging, become an investigator, like I did, and get in the Bible and find out what it says, what's true or not. That other question I get asked is, are we on the brink of a third, third world war? And is there a way to avoid a third world war? These subjects have many issues, and we could write a book about them, but there's been books written about this. So to give a short summary then you'll have to do your own investigation. But give me let me give you some background. Unique among all the books written, the Bible foretells specific events in detail, many years and centuries apart, before they ever occur. Approximately 2, 500 prophecies in the Bible. And about 2, 000 of them have already been fulfilled to the letter, no errors. The remaining 500 or so reach into the future and we can see some of these things unfolding as days go by right around us. So yes, we're living in a time. Which it seems like we're approaching the end of days with what is happening, or at least the end of an empire with the United States turning away from God and going the way that so many civilizations in the past had gone, who all were judged by God and disappeared. Well, when we look at those 2000 prophecies and the 500 or so left that were fulfilled without error. Well, what are the probabilities for any of these? Prophecy has been fulfilled by chance. Let's say the average would be one in 10 and then two thousands after that, or 2000 zeros, 10, 2000 zeros. That's a pretty hefty thing to have happen by coincidence. So we know it didn't. Now the the remaining 500 or so prophecies as we reach into the future, we'll, we see them unfolding. Many of them around us even now. A sense of probability for any of the one of these prophecies haven't been fulfilled by chance. the math would be on that of one in ten, two thousand zeros behind that. That's a pretty, that's way more than the lottery. The chance of winning the lottery, which is like one in three hundred million or something. So, all of these prophecies that have been fulfilled just didn't happen by chance. So the odds that these last 500 are going to be fulfilled the error is very, very small that they won't be, and just like the 2000 before. Many scholars with unblemished and reputable backgrounds point to the next major prophecy being fulfilled that is based on the Ezekiel chapter 38 war in the Bible. Ezekiel 38 39. You might have heard much about this today because there's been so much talk since the attack on Israel back in October 23. And this is a war, the war of Ezekiel. It's prophesied when Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, Sudan, with some of the small countries around the old Soviet Union will come together, they will attack Israel and be defeated by God's help when they do. Is this prophecy forefetched? You say, where's the U S they're not involved in protecting them. Check on what has happened over the last year or so with Russia, Iran, Turkey. They formed alliances to protect each other. They're doing things together now. They've all come out strong against Israel. Turkey, particularly, has turned completely against Israel and they're part of NATO. So, events are happening fast now. Things could change very rapidly. But this, that Ezekiel War is not the World War or the last war we hear about. That is a whole nother event called Armageddon, and that event will happen after the Tribulation. Coupled with this event is what is called the Rapture of the Church, and theologians and people that have really studied this eschatology in the end times, they have agreed on many of these issues as they search out the Hebrew and the Greek, both from the Old and New Testament. And one of those chapters and verses is 1 Thessalonians 4, 13 to 18 in the New Testament. Amen. And I'm gonna read this for you just so you get an understanding, and I hope you will go seek it out further. Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed. So God wants us to have some idea that what's going to happen so we don't have to worry those those who sleep in deaths so that you will not grieve like the rest of mankind who have no hope for. We believe that Jesus died rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's Word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left behind until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, We who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore, encourage one another with these words. I hear from so many people. Those that really don't believe in God or anything to do with the Bible, but they say, Oh, Revelations, we hear that, that's just so troubling. It's, it's so violent and, and it is just I don't want to think about it. Well, Revelations is a book of hope for those of us who believe in Him because we know what's going to happen. We know the end and we don't have to be worried or live in fear. There are actually three passages in the New Testament that talk about the rapture. And the word rapture is not used, it's called in the Greek, catching up, which means the same thing. The one I just quoted in Thessalonians and in John 14 1 through 3 in the New Testament and 1 Corinthians 15, 51 to 59. The scriptures are clear. The rapture will occur. We don't know exactly when this will happen. But that will give rise and trigger the rise of the Antichrist or the figure we know by 666. Keep in mind that none of us know the exact time, but God will act to remove his church from the earth. But we knew, do know that he will. And we know there will be a war to try to destroy Israel and God will intervene to destroy Israel's enemies. We know who will be attacking Israel, and we know from prophecies that the U. S. will not be involved to help Israel. For those that have asked that question, where will the U. S. be? That is according to the Bible. In fact, the Bible is silent on the existence of the U. S. during this period of time. During the end times to get down to the tribulation. There are a lot of questions. Will the U. S. still be a country? Will the U. S. be overrun by another country? Will the U. S. just be so weak that it is incapable at extending help outside of their own borders? God has given us a road map of things that will happen in the end time, and the U. S. is left out of that road map. We don't really know at this point, but with what we see happening, If the end of the age isn't close, it could be the end of an empire, the U. S. falling, like other nations before us have. Well, You might be thinking, well, this sounds like science fiction, and just some delusional minds came up with all this. But go back to where we started. Look into 2, 000 prophecies fulfilled. 500 yet. And you've got a the chance that this is all by luck, or a happenstance, or coincidence. It's 10, and add 2, 000 zeros to the, the the prospects of that happening with this by chance. I found my best investigative tool to use as a base for my investigations is the Bible. What makes the Bible so special? It has stood the test of time. The best selling book of all time in attempts to burn all the Bibles, kill all the Christians, and remove God has failed. In fact, those who tried to battle with God litter our history and are long gone, but God and the Bible are still standing. The only way. Any of us can have hope in the future as if we know God personally through His Son Jesus and study the Bible that gives us insights into those end times that are fearful to so many. We can have hope with God in our future. He's in mine. I pray He's in yours. Well I rest my case. I hope this will start you on your journey to discover who God really is and what's going to happen in these end times. But let me leave you with this. It has been said that one who is an intellect or looking around for answers will not consider an issue unless they have looked at the evidence for themselves. I think it would be valuable for you who are not sure to view the evidence, the Bible. Let me know what you find out. Just a footnote here. There will be a time, right near the end of this age, when Which there will be a seven year peace treaty made with Israel. This is going to be during the tribulation. So there's going to be a peace treaty during that time. That question I've gotten asked. But, it's going to be made with fingers crossed. Because the Antichrist which makes these after three and a half years, he's going to invade Israel, set himself up as God in the new temple that will be built, and try to destroy Israel. You can look in the Bible, in the book of Revelations, and find out all the facts on this, just like I did. I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue.

Remember, there is hope if we are willing to get involved, willing to do our own investigation and find out the facts. Well, until next time, be safe. May God bless you, your family, and may God bless America.
