The blessings and the curses of Iran, and its final position in "THE END OF DAYS"

SPEAKER_01

Let's look back at where we left off in part one. We were looking into the third prophecy in Jeremiah chapter 49, verses 38. And it says, And I will set my throne in Elam, and I will destroy from thence the king and the prince, saith the Lord. Now this verse actually has two different prophecies in it. The first one is God is going to set his throne in Elam. Now we don't need to get confused with this throne being set up in Elam and God's actual throne being set up in Jerusalem. It's two different things. Y'all stay with us and we'll explain all that here real shortly. So the second one, God said God would destroy the king and the prince. It's very important to remember that this scripture started with the words, I will. Okay, so let's begin with the second prophecy first. Like we mentioned in part one, we've already witnessed the United States Operation Epic Fury and Israel's Operation Roar and Line. They devastated the Iranian regime by killing the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, and over 40 of his leaders in the first strike. And then more leaders were killed when they were attempting to meet and reassign a new supreme leader. There have been a lot of prophecy channels that have claimed that the king and the prince have been destroyed, just like Jeremiah said. But the problem with that is, as we all know, a new supreme leader, and I call him little Khomini, has been placed in his father's position. So we still have a supreme leader and his prince in charge of Iran. God said, I will destroy the king and the prince. As powerful as it was now, we have only witnessed man killing a ruler and his leaders. We have not yet seen God totally annihilating the king and the prince, or the ruler and his leaders yet. Will it be a supernatural event along the same lines as Sodom and Gomorrah? I don't know. But I'll tell you this, once again, I will not be surprised if it is. And neither should you. Whatever that looks like, the world will know it was absolutely God that sent this judgment on Iran. Why is it so important that the leadership has to be totally and completely removed from power? Well, let me answer that question with a question. How is God going to be able to set his throne in Elam if there are any of the old regime or the old guards still in power? It'll be impossible. But God said, I will. So let's take a look at this part of the prophecy where God said, I will set my throne in Elam. We know when the time comes that God's throne will be in Jerusalem, in the new city. So why does God say here that he will set his throne in Elam? What if what if God's not talking about a physical throne? What if he is actually talking about a spiritual throne? We have to look at this through spiritual eyes also. And if this is the case, what would that look like? Let's take a look at what's actually happening in Iran right now and has been happening for the last several years, decades actually. Did you know that Iran is one of the fastest growing Christian populations in the entire world? Have you heard that from any news outlet? I doubt it. This is not just a guess or something to make people feel good. Folks, this information is based on research that is documented and public records. The research and the results are mind blowing to say the least. So why hadn't we heard anything about this rapid growth of the Christian movement? To understand that, we have to look at the persecutions that have been forced on the Iranian people and how severe they've been. And this, like we said, has been going on for over 40 years. Very soon after the regime changed back in the late 70s. Did you know that Bibles were banned? The next thing was the churches was being closed. And after that, people start going to they're having house churches, right? Well, those house churches were had such heavy surveillance on them, they were being watched continually. Then, on top of all of this, there was a threat of death for anyone who converted from Islam to Christianity. Now, in spite of all this evil persecutions and the demonic threats, the underground church in Iran has exploded. So depending on which reports you look at, some say hundreds of thousands, some even say over a million Iranians have come to the faith in Jesus Christ. Now, a lot of that has happened just in recent years. So normally when we hear of nations converting, we think of or we hear of evangelists going into these countries and preaching the gospel. A lot of the Iranians who have been converted have actually testified their conversions happened because of dreams and visions that they actually had about Jesus. Their stories are amazing because they say they were not even seeking Jesus Christ. They wasn't even trying to find out about him. And they can't explain really how or why the visions came to them. Just that when they came, the people say they saw a person that was dressed in white and simply said to them through those dreams and visions, follow me. And once they accepted the call, they were absolutely converted to Christ from Islam. You don't just hear this story now and then, but it is the story that you hear from hundreds and thousands of different people throughout the country. This testimony, this encounter is actually the main way that the church knows that the people have for sure been called by Jesus Christ to Himself. So by this means of dreams and visions, the part of the prophecy that says, I will set my throne in Elam shows that God Himself has by supernatural design established his church in Elon. So friends, is this what Jeremiah was describing? It is very important to remember these conversions are happening through dreams and visions. It is not through military might or political regime change by man. This miraculous conversion is happening because of the faith that these people have in the dreams and visions from the absolute God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and yes, because of that, directly through the Messiah of the world, Jesus Christ Himself. Now, let's take a look at how this prophecy ends. We have to understand this part is not a curse, but it is in fact a promise.

SPEAKER_02

Jeremiah chapter 49, verse 39 says, But it shall come to pass in the latter days that I will bring again the captivity of Elon, saith the Lord. God promises to restore Elon. What an awesome promise this is for the country of Iran and for the people who have been so abused, repressed, and lied to. Finally, there's a hope for freedom and peace. Don't overlook one of the main points of the scripture that says in the latter days, could Jeremiah be talking about the end of days, the end of mankind's rule on the earth. A lot of people believe that we're living in this time right now as we speak. It would be really awesome if we could say that's the end of the story for Iran. And everything ends and stays well, but that's not the end of the story. Now we come to Ezekiel's prophecy. Ezekiel chapter 38, verse 5. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them. Now remember, Persia is part of modern day Iran. The verse goes on to say all of them with shield and helmet. So watch this, my friend. This is a group of nations that have come together in the very end to fight against Israel. After all, God has done for these people. All that He's done for the Iranian people and their country here. We see that they're joining forces to fight against Israel in one more final battle. Ezekiel chapter 38 verse one through six explains this war in detail. The word of the Lord came unto me saying, Son of man, set thy face against God of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold I am against thee, O God, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and I will turn thee back and put hooks in thy jaws, and I will bring thee out and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even in a great company with buckler and shields, all of them handling swords Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them, all of them with shield and helmet, Gomer and all his bands, the house of Togarma of the North Quarters and all his bands, and many people with them. Now let's go back and try to explain who all of these people are in modern times.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so Gog is believed to be Russia by most people that interpret different things in the Bible, but there's a lot of people that believe that Gog is of a European power, North European power. Meshach and Tubal are ancient regions of modern day Turkey. Persia, like we said earlier, is part of modern day Iran. Kush is in Ethiopia. Then we have Sudan and the Horn of Africa. Put is Libya and parts of northern Africa. Gomer and Tugarmah are also linked to Turkey and some of the regions that surround Turkey. Now, if we look at this modern-day map of the world, this alliance includes Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the North African nations, all marching against Israel, and all of those alliances are being formed right now in this modern age. We can see it if you're watching any newscast, any of the stuff about the war, uh, even before this war in Iran. You've seen all these alliances coming together. Everybody's trying to make backdoor deals and trying to be all so secretive about it. Well, God revealed all this long, long ago. Now, we know for a fact that Russia and Iran have had a long-standing relationship. They've been having business dealings for a very long time. And even though Turkey, this one surprises a lot of people, Turkey's a member of NATO. And as a member of NATO, they're not supposed to be going outside of the alliance making any deals. But they have slowly but surely been creating close ties with Russia for a pretty good while now. We also know it's another fact that Iran has been funding different proxy forces like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and the Houthis in Yemen, just to name a few, we've heard of a whole lot more. And these forces have been surrounding Israel for decades. All of these alliances that Ezekiel described are being forged together right before our very eyes and not hidden in plain sight. And most are already in full operation, folks. We have to remember that Ezekiel's prophecy is talking about a whole group of military partners, not just one enemy. We have to realize that this is no longer a future prophecy. This is becoming a modern day fulfillment of prophecy. And the full coalition has not yet come to fruition. They hadn't all come together yet. And there's not been a total invasion of Israel by this coalition of these nations yet. That's why we have to stay alert in these daily events that are bringing this prophecy to fulfillment. We have to keep watching, keep our eyes open. Now, one last thought. Remember the prophecy said that God was going to put hooks in their jaws and draw them into this conflict? That means that these nations are not going to just one day decide to all get together and attack Israel on their own. This will absolutely be orchestrated completely by God's design to bring an end to mankind's rule and reign on this earth and to set up his kingdom. So before we go, we want to just go over this real quick. Jeremiah 49 and verse 38, where God said, I will set my throne in Elam. This signifies God establishing his supreme judgment and sovereign rule over Elam or modern day Iran. It represents the dismantling of all hostile, corrupt human leadership, and it signals a future restoration of the nation in the latter days under God's direct authority. That's very important. So just a couple of main things to remember from this divine judgment and sovereignty. God asserts his jurisdiction over a foreign, most of the time hostile nation, proven he controls history and the future and reigns supreme over human rulers. The next is deposing leadership. The promise implies that the removal of Elam's king and prince, destroying the existing power structure that acted against God's will, and we've seen that all throughout Scripture. The next one is establishing a new order, setting the throne. That represents God placing his presence and authority there, with some interpretations that suggest that it represents a future spiritual transformation or restoration of the people, just like we was reading about and talking about with the Christian movement, how the church is growing there. Next is in the latter days. This phrase points to a future prophetic fulfillment that is beyond the immediate historical context. In other words, it's it's not just for back when it was spoken or written. This is possibly including a spiritual awakening. Now I truly believe that it is that because of what we are witnessing today. I mean, you people can argue it if they want to, but when you can absolutely witness what God is doing, and it's God because the regime don't want it, the wars is not what's bringing it. We don't have any political leaders, we don't have any evangelists over there.

SPEAKER_02

You know, it's obvious by the multitudes of people that have already laid their lives down in Iran. All the people that are, you know, wanting the freedom, they're they're wanting Christianity, they're wanting change, a new rule, they're wanting God's rule there.

SPEAKER_01

That's exactly right. And we are witnessing that again every single day. Folks, keep your eyes on the Middle East. Thank you for joining with us here at the Watchman's Call. My friend, Jesus is coming back very soon. The signs for his return are showing up all over the world, even as we speak right now. Our job is to reach as many people as we can and warn them about his return. And you can help us do that by sharing these messages with everybody you know. That means the Saint and the Senate. Everyone must be warned, and we don't have much time left. Y'all be blessed and keep watching. And remember, leave us a comment to let us know your thoughts and concerns.
