Shalom everyone, this is Amir Tsarfati. I really hope that you can hear me now. I think I gave half of my breaking news without audio. Can you hear me? Let me see if... can you tell me if you can hear anything? Finally, yes, sound, good. All right. So Shalom everyone, it's Amir. Maybe I wasn't smiling enough. So the computer decided this guy should not even talk. You shouldn't hear him. So here I am, it gets happier. And Shalom again, it's Amir from my office in Galilee. And can you indicate that I have sound? Because I would love to hear. to know that you guys can hear me. Basically, I wanted to give you breaking news on 3-4 things that happened over the last few days and try to explain what they all mean in light of Bible prophecies. It's super important because I'm not in agreement with some interpretations and I want also to explain why. If it's working now, yes, there is sound. Good, good. So Shalom again, it's Amir Tsarfati, I'm from Galilee. And let me just say that we just 30-40 minutes ago, an Israeli UAV striked in the Golan Heights on the Syrian side. We killed someone very important over there. I'm not going to elaborate on who it is. He knows he's gone. But I will tell you that the Israeli generals over the last few days, for the first time, freely talked about the Iranian entrenchment in two areas. One is in Syria and one is in the Red Sea. Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that there's a very abnormal presence of Iran in the Red Sea. Several Iranian Revolutionary Guards ships are there and apparently they are feeding the Somalis, the Somali terrorists with weapons. That's the expertise of the Iranians. They want to keep their hands clean. So what they do, they create proxies all around and feed them and then send them to do their dirty job. That brings me, of course, to Hezbollah in a few seconds and talk about what happened this Saturday. Mediterranean with 3 Hezbollah drones made their way to the Israeli gas rig, Karish. I'll tell you all about it in a few seconds. But I do want to tell you, folks, I do want to tell you that quite a few people suggest that... Here we are, there's going to be a regional war shortly between Israel and all of its neighbors. They say that Psalm 83 has to be fulfilled. If you've been following me for the longest time, you know I'm strongly opposing that interpretation. Only because I believe that that prophecy has been fulfilled in the wars of independence. prior to Israel becoming a superpower of energy and a strong military power in the region. If you read carefully Psalm 83, you can see that all the countries that are being described there are countries that either we had wars with them and they were defeated, or we had wars with them, they were defeated and they don't even almost in a way exist anymore. So we have peace with Jordan and Egypt and Syria and Lebanon ceased to in a state of dysfunctional format right now. They desperately need help from different, different countries. So, the last thing they have in mind is a war with Israel, just so you understand. If you really carefully read Psalm 83, you understand that all the description is on the first tier of countries around us, whereas Ezekiel war is the second tier. They've never tasted defeat from the God of Israel yet. But I do want to tell you folks that as far as Iran is concerned, and that will take me to Hezbollah in a few seconds, from documents that were leaked, And from sources on the ground, we believe that Iran is stalling right now, all the talks, nuclear talks, to buy more time before they will have to turn on the cameras and let everybody supervise them. Iran has been enriching uranium to unparalleled levels that enables them to have right now enough enriched uranium for about 5 nuclear bombs. Make no mistake. What is left right now for Iran is a decision to create the bomb. They don't lack the enriched uranium anymore. They need to put it together. They need a decision to put it together and that's it. And this is why Israel is hitting and striking hard on those who are involved in the plan to put together the rockets and the way to convey the nuclear asset all the way to its target. Now, let me explain also that Israeli generals have been talking about the entrenchment in Syria, not only in the Red Sea. We've had unparalleled number of rockets and drones that were smuggled from Iran via Iraq into Syria. Some of them are waiting to be smuggled into Lebanon. In the government led by Netanyahu, you used to hear from me almost twice a week that Israel was striking in Syria. We had carte blanche from Putin to do that because Putin did not feel threatened by Israel then. We also had carte blanche because there was a great chemistry between Netanyahu and Putin. Then came the government of change and everything changed, including the fact that the Arabs decided that they're strong enough to bring Israel down, but also... the Russians realized that we're not as strong as we used to be politically and maybe it's not a good thing to allow us to do what we need to do and what we want to do in Syria. And that started minimizing our activity in the skies of Syria to the minimum. But now, let me explain that I repeatedly said that right now in Syria, it's the interest of Russia and Turkey and Iran all together. And this is why if Israel will have to deal with Damascus, Israel will have to also hurt the interest of Russia and Iran and Turkey. That is what I believe, that which will ignite the fire of Ezekiel 38 war. But I do want you to know, folks, I do want you to know that the war in Ukraine changed everything. A lot of people are trying to find the Ukrainian war aspect in Bible prophecy. Again, remember Bible prophecy is not about relations between nations and themselves, but it's about relations between nations and Israel. Remember that. So you can have war in the Americas, war in Asia, war in Europe, but it's the effect of that war on Israel that will be described. For example, the effect of World War II eventually caused the Jewish people to migrate to Israel and establish the state. So we don't read about World War II between America and Japan or between the allied forces in Germany and all of that, but we do read about how God miraculously saved the Jews from Europe and brought them back to their land. And so you see the stuff that has to do with Israel is being described in the Bible. And so it's interesting because the war with Ukraine brought Israel to the front row of energy... but mostly substitute to the Russian gas to be supplied to Europe. Now, Israel found a trillion cubic feet of gas. You all know that, the Russians know that also. Israel is exporting it first to its neighbors, to Egypt and Jordan. Without our gas, they won't be able to function. They don't have anything on their own. The Egyptian gas is barely enough for their own consumption. And so right now, anything that Europe would want is something that will have to come from Israel, either via Egypt or not. Now, in order to get this gas, we need to drill. In order to drill, we need oil rigs or gas rigs, of course. The latest rig is Karish. Karish is in Hebrew, shark, excuse me. Karish is the Hebrew word for shark. We have Leviathan, it's for whale. And we've got Tanin, it's for an alligator, crocodile or dragon in the Bible. And we've got Karish, which is a shark. So we named our gas and oil rigs on the Mediterranean, we named them after sea creatures. Now, let me tell you what happened in the last few years with Lebanon, so you understand what happened on Saturdays. This Shabbat, I was in bed. I was not feeling well and I just got back from Greece. We had a wonderful, wonderful in the footsteps of Paul tour and cruise in Greece and the Greek Isles. And then I got back a little sick. And then what happened is I heard a 6.30am takeoff from the nearby airbase of some F-16s. And we normally don't fly on Shabbat. And so I knew something is often... Shortly after that, I reported on Telegram and trust me, if you don't have Telegram, 2 thirds of the important news you will never get because your media are the media nights. They will report garbage, but they won't give you the news. And so what happened is Israel destroyed some weapon depots in Northern Syria that were ready to be shipped to Lebanon, to Hezbollah. These are important parts of important rockets and drones that we thought that they should not have. But a few hours later, at 3.30 PM, another takeoff of some F-16s. And that was not the only thing that happened. Some very sophisticated Israeli-made rockets were also fired from a ship. And both the Israeli F-16 fired, the rockets that he fired and the ship, the Eilat missile ship, the rockets they fired, they basically shot down 3 Hezbollah unarmed drones. Those drones were flying towards this particular thing. Let me show you this map. Take a look, there's Lebanon and there is Israel, as you can clearly see that. On the border between Israel and Lebanon, you can see 3 lines that are going out. The Israeli line of the border between us and Lebanon, which is, by the way, based on the UN maps. Then there is the Lebanese demand from 2010. And then there is the Lebanese demand from just a few months ago. The Lebanese always add more. Now, why did they add more? Because we found gas in Karish, take a look. So the Americans decided to mediate and they found out that if we, between the first Lebanese and Israeli, if we run a line there, everybody will be happy. Which by the way, gives the Lebanese more than they should. And Hezbollah says, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we demand everything. And therefore the Israeli oil rig or gas rig, Qarish, is within our territorial water, as you can clearly see. When we found gas, suddenly the line moved. Of course, nobody took them seriously. And why? It's because you can't just change the goalpost whenever you want, just because somebody found something in his own territory. So, of course, the Lebanese already decided, okay, that's probably not a smart thing to ask because no international community will ever agree. But Hezbollah has a mind of its own. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization sponsored, supported, governed and operated by Iran. This is Iran within Lebanon. The last thing Hezbollah wants is that Israel and Lebanon will agree on any border. Why? The minute you agree on a border, you basically recognize our border. You recognize our sovereignty on our territory. And remember, Iran doesn't think that the Jewish people should have a square inch from Israel. They believe that everything from the north to the south, from the river to the sea, everything is Arab, is Muslim, nothing belongs to the Jews. And therefore, the minute any agreement on any border is going to happen, It's basically a recognition in Israel, a recognition in our sovereignty, recognition in everything that belongs to us also. Hezbollah, ever since the year 2000, tried to sustain a constant, defiance and conflict that is not always military conflict, but it has to be in the conscience and in the mind of the Lebanese, that Hezbollah's very, very essence is to defend Lebanon from Israel, is to free Palestine from the Jews, is to liberate the land of the Muslims back to the hands of the Muslims. This is who they are. And so the last thing they want is an agreement between the Lebanese government and the Israeli government, because that will mean we have no reason to fight anymore. You see, terrorists, the minute... you take away from them the reason to fight, they cease to exist because they always must have a reason. They always must have some sort of the fuel that will keep them going on. And that is exactly what happened on Saturday. We shot down those drones and we basically told the Hezbollah that we could see them taking off. We saw them flying all the way and we shot them down before they even entered the Israeli economic waters. Now, why is it so important, folks? It's important because you can clearly see that it's no longer a battle about the land and the borders and the religion. It's now moving to a battle about energy. It's a battle about our resources. And I want to take you back to Scriptures and show you that in the book of Ezekiel, the war that should come is a war about financial interests. When the countries that are protesting that war are saying, have you come to take booty, to plunder, to steal? This is what it's all about, stealing, taking plunder. It's about financial gain. I want to remind you folks that at the moment in Syria, we've got the interest of Last night, and if you're on Telegram, you saw the picture and you saw the news, they landed 500 paratroopers in Qamishli in Northeastern Syria. The Russians, you would think that they're busy in the Ukraine, they're also busy in Syria. Iran is keeping the flow of weapons and drones and rockets into Syria. Turkey is about to begin a military operation in Northern Syria as well. They are all very much invested in Syria. And if Israel will ever hurt Syria, if Israel will ever destroy Damascus as Isaiah 17 suggests, which by the way, it's something that never happened before. Isaiah describes a city that is utterly destroyed. Damascus is the oldest standing city in the world. So we're definitely going to see that happening, not too long from now. But my point is this, the struggle is not necessarily between Hezbollah and Israel, it's between Hezbollah and its own government. They are not allowing their government to sign any deal with Israel. Their government is well aware of that. They don't know what to do. Lebanon is in bankruptcy right now. If it was not for Qatar, America, France, they wouldn't be able to stand. There's no public transportation sufficient enough so that the French are sending buses. The Americans are sending funds and help to the Lebanese army and Qatar is fueling the Shiite axis there. So you understand that... We are having that situation right now in the North. From what used to be a territorial dispute on the ground, now it's a territorial dispute in the sea and it's surrounding the gas rig of Qarish. We've got Iran already having enough uranium for 5 bombs. We've got Russia bringing more and more troops to Syria. and we've got the Israeli energy becoming the hot issue right now. If you think that Hezbollah is not enjoying the immunity of the Russians, Kishinev thought by the Russians, the last thing Russia wants is to allow Israel to become a major player in supplying gas to Europe. They know that Europe is dreading the coming winter. Europe is still not ready. to be weaned off the Russian gas, not ready yet. They have no clue what they're going to do in this coming winter. And even if Israel will send something, the facilities, the infrastructures are not there yet. When we, during President Trump's era, when we suggested to start the East Med pipe all the way from Israel via Cyprus and Greece all the way to Western Europe to Italy. It's the Biden administration that put an end to it once they entered the White House. And now take a look at what is going on. They wish it was already in place to be a very fast alternative to the Russian oil and gas. So there's a lot of stuff that is going on. But one thing is for sure, and I will conclude with that. God is on the throne and his plans are being fulfilled. As all these shenanigans from Lebanon side and Syria and Iran, all that are going on, we continue to get more and more new immigrants from Ukraine and Russia, but also in the last 24 hours, even from Ethiopia. And this is an amazing fulfillment of the prophecy from the book of Isaiah about how he will bring them back from the four corners of the world. And God is on the move and he's doing that. You see, he is doing that while the nations are trying to figure out what they want. God is still on the throne and when the time will come, And when they will try to come against Israel, God will intervene. Now, someone once asked me, Amir, Israel is no saints. Why are you defending them? I'm not defending them. I don't think we are saints. I think everyone must repent. But I do think that God is the one who promised that He will not let them be destroyed. So if you've got a problem with that, talk to Him. Because even throughout the Ezekiel war, you can clearly see that it's God's intervention that is stopping the destruction of Israel. It's not our military. It's not the wisdom of our government. It's not the wisdom of our politicians. It's only God. It's actually going to be a supernatural victory that has nothing to do with anything that we can and will be doing there on the ground. We're talking about earthquakes, we're talking about brimstones, we're talking about godly intervention that will defeat our enemies on the mountains of Israel. So, if anything, God will defend Israel for His own name's sake, not for Israel's sake. The Bible says that at the very end of chapter 38, that He will do that, that the nations will know that He is God, this is our God. He fulfills His promises, He cares about His name and He wants the nations to learn from the way He handles Israel, the way He is dealing with Israel and He wants them all to know Him. And how do you know Him? The only way you can know Him is by knowing His Son, knowing the Messiah. This is the only way. I just released a Bible bite about knowing the unknown God.
