Gordon: A BABY'S RARE

DISORDER...

HE WAS BORN WITHOUT HIS

EYES.

WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR

THE FACT THAT OUR BABY WAS

BLIND.

Gordon: ...OVERWHELMS

THIS NEW MOM.

CHRISTIAN WAS NEEDING

CONSTANT CARE, MY MARRIAGE

WAS STRUGGLING -- IT SEEMS

LIKE EVERYTHING WAS

CRUMBLING AROUND ME.

Gordon: HEAR HOW A

SONG CHANGED HER

PERSPECTIVE.

CHRISTIAN'S DISABILITY

DIDN'T MEAN HE WASN'T A

BLESSING.

Gordon:

PLUS...JONATHAN BERNIS

UNLOCKS PROPHETIC

MYSTERIES ON TODAY'S "700

CLUB INTERACTIVE."

> ENTER HIS GATES WITH

THANKSGIVING AND HIS

COURTS WITH PRAISE.

WELL, THAT PASSAGE IS FROM

PSALM 100.

AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

READ ON NOVEMBER 25th,

A 5 THINK,AT THE FIRST BAPTIST

CHURCH IN SUTHERLAND

SPRINGS, TEXAS.

INSTEAD, A HORRIFIC

SHOOTING TOOK THE LIVES OF

26 PARISHIONERS.

SINCE THAT DAY, THE

COMMUNITY HAS COME

TOGETHER TO TRANSFORM THE

CHURCH INTO A MEMORIAL.

BEFORE WE SHOW YOU THE

STUNNING TRANSFORMATION,

WE WANT YOU TO HEAR WHAT

PASTOR FRANK POMEROY

SHARED WITH HIS

CONGREGATION.

THAT IS WHY THIS

BUILDING, LATER ON TODAY,

WILL BE OPEN TO THE

PUBLIC.

THIS IS SOMETHING I

HAVEN'T SEEN DONE IN

CATASTROPHES, BUT, GUYS, I

WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW

THAT THAT BUILDING WILL BE

OPEN SO THAT EVERYONE WHO

WALKS IN THERE WILL KNOW

THAT THE PEOPLE WHO DIED

LIVED FOR THEIR LORD AND

SAVIOR, AND WOULD WANT

THEM TO LIVE FOR THE SAME

AS WELL.

AMEN.

[APPLAUSE]

Gordon: WELL, HERE IS

WHAT THE INSIDE OF THE

CHURCH LOOKS LIKE NOW.

THE ENTIRE ROOM WAS

PAINTED, WINDOWS AND

FLOORS WERE REPLACED.

PEWS WERE REMOVED, AND 26

HAND CRAFTED CHAIRS NOW

STAND IN THEIR PLACE.

EACH BEARING THE NAME OF A

VICTIM WHO WAS GUNNED DOWN

DURING THE RAMPAGE.

A ROSE WAS ALSO PLACED ON

EACH CHAIR.

AND WHILE MOST OF THEM

WERE RED, ONE WAS PINK,

REPRESENTING THE UNBORN

BABY THAT CRYSTAL

HOLCOLMBE WAS CARRYING

WHEN SHE DIED.

INSTEAD OF SILENCE,

VISITORS HEAR THE SOUNDS

O OF SCRIPTURES BEING

READ.

IT IS AN AUDIO RECORDING

OF PSALM 100.

AS WELL AS THE OTHER

VERSES THAT WERE MEANT TO

BE READ THAT DAY.

> MILLENNIALS GET A LOT

OF BAD PRESS THESE DAYS,

SO WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT

SOME HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

WHO WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND

TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF A

U.S. ARMY VETERAN.

TAKE A LOOK.

WE HAVE A LOT OF

VETERANS IN OUR FAMILY.

SO I KNOW THAT THE

SACRIFICE THAT HE MADE FOR

THE COUNTRY, AND I KNOW

THE SERVICE THAT HE

COMMITTED IN SERVING OUR

COUNTRY.

WE HONOR NOT ONLY THE

VETERANS, BUT WE HONOR A

MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY.

*

JOHN, IN THIS CASE,

NEEDED A FAMILY, WE WERE

THERE TO BE JOHN'S FAMILY.

*

Gordon: THAT'S A

WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO A

FALLEN HERO.

BEING A COMMUNITY TO THOSE

WHO ARE MARGINALIZED.

THAT'S A WONDERFUL THING

TO TEACH EVERYONE.

> WELL, HERE IS A STORY

THAT IS GOING VIRAL.

WHEN OWEN WAS JUST 10

YEARS OLD, HE LOST HIS

LEGS TO A SEVERE BURNING

ACCIDENT.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WHEN

YOU'RE A 10-YEAR-OLD

DOUBLE AMPUTEE, YOU DON'T

ALWAYS FIT IN.

SO WHEN OWEN'S TEACHER

CAME ACROSS VIDEOS OF

CHICHI, A QUADRUPLE RESCUE

DOG, WHO LOST HER LIMBS

DUE TO ABUSE, SHE THOUGHT

OF OWEN.

HE FELT AN INSTANT

CONNECTION TO OWEN, AND

HIS DREAM WAS TO MEET

CHICHI.

WORD GOT BACK TO CHICHI'S

OWNER, AND THE STORY

TOUCHED HER HEART.

SHE FLEW OWEN AND HIS MOM

TO MEET CHICHI, AND THE

TWO INSTANTLY BECAME

WONDERFUL FRIENDS.

> WELL, LACEY BUCHANAN

WAS AN UNKNOWN 22-YEAR-OLD

NEW MOM UNTIL SHE MADE A

VIDEO THAT WENT VIRAL.

HER SON, CHRISTIAN, WAS

BORN WITH NO EYES, AND

PEOPLE'S COMMENTS COULD BE

CRUEL.

SO ONE NIGHT SHE HIT

RECORD ON HER PHONE AND

MADE A VIDEO.

SHE WANTED PEOPLE TO

REALIZE HOW SPECIAL

CHRISTIAN WAS, THAT HER

CHILD WASN'T A MISTAKE.

IN FACT, JUF JUST TH JUST THE

OPPOSITE.

SINCE THEN, LACEY AND

CHRISTIAN'S STORY HAVE

GIVEN MANY PEOPLE HOPE.

BUT SHE STILL REMEMBERS

WHEN RAISING A BLIND BOY

WITH SPECIAL NEEDS WAS

ALMOST TOO MUCH FOR HER.

I FOUND OUT I WAS

ACCEPTED INTO LAW SCHOOL

THE SAME WEEK I FOUND OUT

I WAS PREGNANT.

WE WENT IN FOR OUR 18-WEEK

SCAN, AND WE LEFT KNOWING

WE WERE HAVING A BOY.

AND THAT WEEKEND, I

CHECKED THE MESSAGES ON

OUR HOME PHONE.

AND THERE WERE THREE

MESSAGES FROM MY DOCTOR'S

OFFICE, AND EACH ONE WAY

ASKING ME TO CALL BACK.

AND THE DOCTORS SAID THEY

THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO COME

IN FOR MORE ULTRASOUND.

I WAS LAYING ON AN

ULTRASOUND TABLE.

THE TECH WAS RUNNING THE

WAND OVER MY STOMACH, AND

ALMOST IMMEDIATELY SHE

POINTED OUT THERE WAS A

CLEFT LIP AND PALATE.

BUT IT WASN'T JUST THAT

SIMPLE.

THEY EXPLAINED IT WASN'T

JUST A TYPICAL CLEFT LIP

AND PALATE.

AND WHEN WE WOULD ASK,

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, IF IT

IS NOT TYPICAL, WHAT IS

IT?

ALL HE COULD SAY IS, WE

DON'T REALLY KNOW.

THE DAY CHRISTIAN WAS

BORN, I HAD TO HAVE A

C-SECTION.

I HEARD A DOCTOR SAY,

OKAY, HERE HE COMES.

THAT WAS THE MOMENT WE

HELD OUR BREATH.

THE DOCTORS WERE CONCERNED

THAT CHRISTIAN MAY NOT BE

ABLE TO BREATHE ON HIS

OWN.

SO WITHIN JUST A FEW

SECONDS, HE TOOK HIS FIRST

BREATH.

HE WAS SCREAMING, WHICH

WAS WHAT WE WANTED TO

HEAR.

THEY HELD HIM UP OVER THE

BLUE CURTAIN SO I COULD

TAKE A LOOK AT HIM, AND HE

WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

THING I HAD EVER SEEN.

AFTER THAT, THEY TOOK HIM

TO MAKE SURE HE WAS OKAY,

AND THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED

TO UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY

OF HIS CONDITION.

HIS BIRTH DEFECT WAS WORSE

THAN ANYBODY THOUGHT.

HE WAS BORN WITHOUT HIS

EYES, BASICALLY.

WE HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS

ANY ISSUE WITH HIS EYES.

WE HEARD CLEFT LIP AND PAL

LATE.

PALATE.

BUT WE WEREN'T PREPARED

FOR THE FACT THAT OUR BABY

WAS BLIND.

ALL OF THOSE HOPES AND

DREAMS WE HAD, WE REALIZED

THEY WEREN'T A REALITY.

IT BROKE OUR HEARTS

BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW

TO RAISE A CHILD WHO WAS

BLIND.

HE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN

TO THE NEONATAL INTENSIVE

CARE UNIT.

BY FOUR DAYS OLD, HE WAS

ALREADY TAKEN TO SURGERY.

I FELT LIKE I MISSED OUT

ON A LOT OF THOSE FIRST

PRECIOUS MOMENTS WITH HIM.

IT WAS PAINFUL.

I WANTED TO BE HIS MOM AND

I COULDN'T BECAUSE HE

NEEDED SO MUCH MEDICAL

INTERVENTIONS.

INTERVENTION.

I WAS ASKING GOD, WHY DOES

THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME,

AND MORE SO, WHY IS THIS

HAPPENING TO OUR CHILD,

WHO IS INNOCENT.

WE HAD BEEN TO CHURCH.

WE HAD DONE WHAT WE

THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED

TO DO, AND STILL THINGS

WEREN'T WORKING OUT THE

WAY WE WANTED THEM TO.

I WAS ABLE TO TAKE

CHRISTIAN HOME FROM THE

NIC-YOU AT 26 WEEKS OLD.

I CAME HOME WITH A BABY

AND A TRUNK FULL OF

MEDICAL SUPPLIES.

SO I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO

NAVIGATE ALL OF THAT.

ALL OF THE SPECIALISTS

THAT CHRISTIAN HAD TO SEE,

HOW TO BALANCE

APPOINTMENTS AND HOW TO

GET HIM BACK AND FORTH TO

THESE APPOINTMENTS, AS HE

NEEDED.

IT WAS A VERY INTENSIVE

CRASH COURSE.

LAW SCHOOL DIDN'T PAUSE

FOR ME TO HAVE A BABY.

SO I WAS STILL GOING TO

CLASS AT THIS TIME.

WHEN THE SIX WEEKS WAS UP,

I HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK

AND LEAVE HIM.

I LEFT CHRISTIAN WITH A

NURSE WHEN HE WAS SIX

WEEKS OLD TO START BACK TO

WORK.

I WAS WORKING IN A

DAYCARE.

I WAS SITTING AT WORK ONE

DAY, AND I WAS EATING

LUNCH AND HAVING A VERY

TYPICAL CONVERSATION

WITHED GOD, LIKE I DID AT

THIS TIME BECAUSE I WAS

VERY HURT AND ANGRY THE

WAY MY LIFE WAS GOING.

CHRISTIAN WAS NEEDING

CONSTANT CARE.

I WAS EXHAUSTED.

I WAS TRYING TO HANG ON

WITH LAW SCHOOL AND KEEP

MY GRADES UP.

MY MARRIAGE WAS

STRUGGLING.

IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING

WAS SORT OF CRUMBLING

AROUND ME.

AND THE SONG "BLESSINGS"

CAME ON.

IT STRUCK ME THAT DAY, AS

I WAS SITTING THERE.

I CAME TO REALIZE THAT I

WAS LOOKING AT EVERYTHING

FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF

CHRISTIAN'S DISABILITY WAS

A BURDEN, AND TAKING CARE

OF CHRISTIAN WAS A BURDEN,

THAT I WAS BEING PUNISHED

SOMEHOW BECAUSE HE HAD A

DISABILITY.

AND GOD TURNED MY THINKING

AROUND.

CHRISTIAN'S DISABILITY

DIDN'T MEAN HE WASN'T A

BLESSING, THAT I WAS

SOMEHOW BEING PUNISHED.

I WAS THANKFUL THAT GOD

CHOSE ME TO BE CHRISTIAN'S

MOM.

I WOULDN'T WANT ANYBODY

ELSE TO BE HIS MOM.

I WANTED IT TO BE ME.

I LEARNED TO STOP LOOKING

AT MY SITUATION THROUGH

THE LENS OF MY HURT,

THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF

MY PAIN, AND LEARN TO LOOK

AT IT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE

OF HOW GOD WANTED ME TO

SEE IT.

HOW I WAS GIVEN THIS

BEAUTIFUL OPPORTUNITY TO

BE A MOTHER TO THIS

BEAUTIFUL CHILD.

CHRISTIAN IS A 5-YEAR-OLD

LITTLE BOY.

HE IS IN KINDERGARTEN AND

DOING REALLY WELL.

HE IS TAKING KARATE.

HE LOVES TO PLAY THE

PIANO.

HE LOVES WRESTLING WITH

HIS LITTLE BROTHER.

HE IS A TYPICAL 5-YEAR-OLD

LITTLE BOY IN SO MANY

WAYS.

I HAVE GRADUATED LAW

SCHOOL, SO I'M GETTING

READY TO START PRACTICING

IN THE AREA OF DISABILITY

LAW.

I HOPE TO HELP FAMILIES

WHO ARE IN SITUATIONS LIKE

I HAVE BEEN, FACED WITH

THE CHALLENGES THAT MIGHT

PRESENT THEMSELVES

LEGALLY.

I HOPE TO HELP THEM

NAVIGATE THAT WORLD OF

DISABILITY IN A WAY THAT

CAN GIVE THEM CONFIDENCE

THAT THINGS ARE GOING TO

BE ALL RIGHT.

BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH

UNCERTAINTY IN IT.

I WANT PEOPLE TO LEARN TO

TRUST GOD.

DESPITE WHAT OUR

CIRCUMSTANCES LOOK LIKE.

AND WE CAN LET GOD DEFINE

US, RATHER THAN OUR

CIRCUMSTANCES OR OUR

SITUATIONS.

Gordon: THAT IS AN

AMAZING STORY.

AND LACEY IS AN AMAZING

SAINT OF THE MOST HIGHED

GOD.

IT REMINDS YOU OF THE

STORY IN THE GOSPEL OF

JOHN, WHERE WHERE THE DISCIPLES

BROUGHT A MAN BORN BLIND

TO JESUS AND ASKED THE

THEOLOGICAL QUESTION: WHO

SINNED?

THE PARENTS OR HIM?

IS THIS FAIR?

IS THIS JUST?

AND I LOVE THE ANSWER

JESUS GAVE: NEITHER.

THIS HAPPENED THAT THE

GLORY OF THE LORD WOULD BE

REVEALED.

AND HERE IS LACEY SHOWING

US THE GLORY OF THE LORD.

> WELL, COMING UP, ARE

WE LIVING IN THE LAST

DAYS?

JONATHAN BERNIS SAYS THE

ANSWER LIES IN BIBLICAL

PROPHECY.

HE EXPLAINS ISRAEL'S

CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE END

TIMES.

THAT'S UP NEXT.

Gordon: WELL,

JONATHAN BERNIS IS A

JEWISH BELIEVER IN JESUS.

EVERYWHERE HE GOES, PEOPLE

ARE ASKING: ARE WE LIVING

IN THE END TIMES?

Reporter: ONE TINY

NATION, IN GOD'S EYES, IT

IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

NATION ON EARTH.

AND IT'S WHERE BIBLICAL

PROPHECIES REGARDING THE

END OF THE AGE WILL

UNFOLD.

TO UNDERSTAND THESE LAST

DAYS, ONE MUST FIRST

UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD IS

DOING WITH ISRAEL.

IN HIS NEW BOOK,

"UNLOCKING THE PROPHETIC

MYSTERIES OF ISRAEL,"

JONATHAN BERNIS UNVEILS

THE SEVEN KEYS TO

UNDERSTANDING ISRAEL'S

ROLE IN GOD'S PLAN TO SAVE

THE WORLD.

Gordon: OUR DEAR

FRIEND, JONATHAN, IS WITH

US.

IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON

THE SHOW.

AND IT IS GREAT TO HAVE

THIS WONDERFUL BOOK.

MY KIDS ARE HAPPY, TOO,

BECAUSE I WROTE IT ON OUR

FAMILY VACATION.

Gordon: YOU'RE

SUPPOSED TO BE WITH THEM

ON YOUR VACATION.

THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID.

BUT I TRIED TO KEEP IT TO

THE MORNINGS, BEFORE THEY

WOKE UP.

ANYWAY...

Gordon: ALL RIGHT.

WELL, WHAT IS ISRAEL'S

ROLE IN THE LAST DAYS?

WELL, I THINK ISRAEL --

AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT

ISRAEL, WE'RE TALKING

ABOUT TWO THINGS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE

LAND OF ISRAEL, THAT

LITTLE SLIVER OF LAND IN

THE MIDDLE EAST, ABOUT THE

SIZE OF NEW JERSEY -- BY

THE WAY, IT MAKES NO SENSE

THAT ISRAEL IS IN THE NEWS

EVERY DAY.

THIS LITTLE TINY COUNTRY

OF EIGHT MILLION, WHY IS

IT AT THE CENTER OF WORLD

ATTENTION?

THERE IS A REASON.

BUT IT IS ALSO THE PEOPLE

OF ISRAEL, THE JEWISH

PEOPLE, THE PHYSICAL

DESCENDENTS OF ABRAHAM,

ISAAC, AND JACOB, THAT

HAVE BEEN SCATTERED TO THE

REMOTE PARTS OF THE WORLD,

BUT ARE NOW RETURNING TO

THEIR LAND AND RETURNING

TO GOD.

CHRISTIANS OFTEN MISS THE

SIGNIFICANCE OF JEWISH

PEOPLE COMING BACK TO GOD.

THE FACT THAT THERE IS NOW

MORE JEWISH BELIEVERS IN

JESUS THAN ANY TIME SINCE

THE FIRST CENTURY.

THAT TELLS US WE'RE IN THE

LAST DAYS.

SO THE JEWISH PEOPLE, I

BELIEVE, GORDON, PLAY AS

EQUAL IMPORTANT A ROLE IN

THE RETURN OF CHRIST AS

THEY DID IN THE FIRST

COMING OF CHRIST.

Gordon: YOU HAVE A

WARNING IN THE BOOK ABOUT

FAKE NEWS, ABOUT END

TIMES.

I DIDN'T MAKE THAT UP,

BY THE WAY.

DONALD GOT CREDIT FOR

THAT.

Gordon: WHY SHOULD

CHRISTIANS BE WEARY OF

FAKE NEWS ABOUT END TIMES?

YEAH.

I THINK THERE IS SO MUCH

SENSATIONALISM, IT IS THE

BOY WHO CRIED WOLF.

I WAS SAVED IN 1980, AND

IMMEDIATELY GOT CAUGHT UP

IN JESUS' COMING BACK

TOMORROW.

I HAD A SUITCASE FILLED

WITH END-TIME TAPES, AND

RAN AROUND TELLING MY

FRIENDS AND MY FAMILY,

YOU'VE GOT TO GET READY.

IT'S TOMORROW.

THE RAPTURE IS COMING.

THE JUDGMENT OF GOD.

I REMEMBER TALKING TO MY

DAD THROUGH THE BATHROOM

DOOR.

HE IS IN THE BATHROOM, AND

I'M TELLING HIM, THE END

OF THE WORLD IS COMING.

I GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE

ANGRY, NOT BECAUSE I WAS

TELLING THE TRUTH, BECAUSE

I WAS JUST PLAIN

OBNOXIOUS.

SO WE HAVE TO BE VERY

CAREFUL.

Gordon: WE HAVE TO

KEEP IN MIND NOBODY KNOWS

THE HOUR OR THE DAY --

AND EVERY ONE THAT HAS

PREDICTED THE DAY, AND

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE

SENT ON 88 REASONS WHY

JESUS WOULD COME IN

1988 -- WE'RE NOT TO DO

THAT.

BUT WE ARE TO KNOW THE

SEASON.

WE'RE TO PAY ATTENTION TO

THE SEASON.

AND WE'RE IN THE SEASON OF

THE LAST DAYS.

THE FIG TREE HAS

BLOSSOMED, AND WE NEED TO

BE WISE, AS THE MEN OF

VISSICAR WERE, WHO

UNDERSTOOD THE TIMES.

Gordon: WHAT DO YOU

THINK WILL BE THE NEXT

THING TO HAPPEN?

ONE, THE NEGATIVE

ANTI-SEMITISM IS ON THE

RISE.

IT IS AT THE GREATEST

LEVEL SINCE WORLD WAR II.

THAT'S A NEGATIVE SIGN,

BUT IT IS A PROPHETIC TIME

OF THE END.

HISTORY IS BEING REPEATED.

AT THE SAME TIME, THERE IS

A CONTINUING EXODUS TO

ISRAEL.

THE NATIONS -- THE JEWISH

PEOPLE IN THE NATIONS OF

THE WORLD ARE COMING BACK

TO ISRAEL.

WE'RE WORKING, GORDON, WE

REMOTE TRIBES IN ETHIOPIA,

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE

LEMBA COMMUNITY IN

ZIMBABWE.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE

NAMAN NASHA IN INDIA.

THEY'RE COMING BACK TO

ISRAEL.

AND WE'RE SEEING A REVIVAL

OF JEWISH PEOPLE COMING TO

FAITH IN PLACES LIKE

EASTERN EUROPE AND AFRICA,

AND I BELIEVE THAT

CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE

PAYING ATTENTION TO THOSE

THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING

WITH ISRAEL RIGHT NOW.

BOTH THE LAND AND THE

PEOPLE.

AS FAR AS THE STATE OF

ISRAEL, YOU KNOW, IT'S

ALWAYS PRECARIOUS.

THERE IS ALWAYS A

POTENTIAL WAR LOOMING.

AND I THINK THINGS ARE

GOING TO HEAT UP AGAIN IN

ISRAEL AS WELL.

Gordon: DO YOU SEE

THE RETURN OF JEWS TO

ISRAEL AS SPECIFIC

PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT?

AND IF SO, WHAT'S IT GOING

TO TAKE FOR THE JEWS IN

AMERICA TO RETURN TO

ISRAEL?

WELL, THE FIRST PART,

YES, THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE

RETURNING FROM ALL OVER

THE WORLD.

ARGENTINA NOW HAS BEEN

SEEING -- ISRAEL HAS BEEN

SEEING A GREAT ALIYAH FROM

ARGENTINA BECAUSE OF

PERSECUTION IN ARGENTINA.

FRENCH JEWS IN FRANCE ARE

NOW GOING TO ISRAEL.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS

GOING TO TAKE A CHANGE, A

SHIFT IN AMERICA, THAT

PUTS JEWISH PEOPLE IN

JEOPARDY, TO GET THEM TO

RETURN.

IN MATH.

I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO

THAT HAPPENING --

Gordon: I WOULD FIND

THAT HORRIBLE.

HORRIBLE.

Gordon: I WOULDN'T

WANT TO BE AN AMERICAN IF

THAT HAPPENED.

IF YOU START TO SEE JEWISH

PERSECUTION.

ME, EITHER.

BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE

OTHER WAY, AND THAT'S MASS

REVIVAL HITTING THE JEWISH

PEOPLE.

Gordon: THAT WOULD BE

BETTER.

LET'S GO WITH THAT ONE.

LET'S PRAY THAT ONE IN.

[LAUGHTER]

Gordon: YOU SAY THAT

ISIS IS ACTUALLY IN THE

BIBLE, THAT THAT IS

PREDICTED.

YEAH, NOT ONLY ISIS,

BUT THE RISE OF TERROR.

RUMORS OF WAR, AS I

UNDERSTAND THE MEANING IN

MATTHEW 24, LUKE 21, IS

PERFECTLY DESCRIBED OR

CARRIED OUT THROUGH

TERRORISM.

THERE IS RUMORS OF WARS.

REMEMBER 9/11 WAS JUST

ABSOLUTE CHAOS.

NOBODY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING

TO HAPPEN NEXT.

SO THE RISE OF TERRORISM,

AND ISIS, AND AFTER ISIS,

THERE MAY VERY WELL BE

ANOTHER GROUP -- I KNOW

THERE WILL BE, AS A MATTER

OF FACT, FROM MY READING

OF SCRIPTURE.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE

INCREASE OF TERRORISM

THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

AND IT HAS CHANGED -- AS

WE WERE TALKING EARLIER,

IT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED

EVERYTHING.

LIFE HAS CHANGED SINCE

9/11.

IT WILL NEVER GO BACK TO

THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE.

Gordon: AND IT'S NOT

JUST TERRORISM, BUT ALSO

THE PROXY WARS THAT ARE

BEING WAGED RIGHT NOW.

IN PARTICULAR, WHAT IS

GOING ON IN YEMEN, WHERE

IT'S ACTUALLY A CONFLICT

BETWEEN IRAN AND SAUDI

ARABIA.

RIGHT NOW I'M HEARING A

LOT OF VOICES COMING OUT

OF ISRAEL SAYING WE ALL

NEED TO WAKE UP TO IRAN,

THAT THAT IS THE STRUGGLE.

THERE IS A LOT OF WORLD

ATTENTION ON NORTH KOREA,

BUT IN ISRAEL THEY'RE

SAYING, LOOK AT IRAN.

THAT'S THE LIKELY

TOUCH-POINT HERE.

DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT?

ABSOLUTELY.

AND NET NET HA NETANYAHU HAS BEEN

WARNING THE WORLD FOR A

LONG TIME.

MAYBE MORE PEOPLE ARE

LISTENING NOW.

AND WE HAVE A PRESIDENT

THAT SEEMS TO BETTER

UNDERSTAND THE TRUE THREAT

OF IRAN THAN THE LAST

ADMINISTRATION.

BUT, YES, I THINK THIS IS

A LOOMING THREAT.

ISRAEL KNOWS THIS IS A

LOOMING THREAT.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE

TO TAKE ACTION, EVEN IF IT

IS UNILATERALLY AT SOME

POINT.

Gordon: DO YOU THINK

THE WEST REALLY

UNDERSTANDS HOW THE

IRANIANS VIEW THE WORLD,

THAT THAT BRANCH OF ISLAM

HOLDS THE MAHTI, AND THEIR

SAVIOR COMES THROUGH WORLD

CONFLICT?

NO UNDERSTANDING AT ALL

OF THIS MINDSET.

ESPECIALLY THE LEFT, HAS

ABSOLUTELY NO

UNDERSTANDING -- WHICH IS

HEAVILY POPULATED BY MY

JEWISH BRETHREN, WHO

THINKS THAT ALL OF THIS

CAN BE REASONED OUT, AND

THAT IF WE JUST SHOW

KINDNESS --

Gordon: I WOULD SAY

THE JEWISH LEFT IN AMERICA

DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE

BIBLE.

YEAH.

Gordon: AND DON'T

READ IT.

NOT AT ALL.

AWAY FROM GOD, THEY'RE

TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS

IN A WAY THAT IS NOT GOING

TO WORK.

Gordon: BUT THE

IDEOLOGY IN THE THEACIY

THAT IS IRAN HOLDS THAT

THE MIGHTY COMES FROM

WORLD CONFLICT.

SO TO START WORLD

CONFLICT, YOU'RE ACTUALLY

HASTENING IT.

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

IT IS FRIGHTENING YOU

BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND IT,

AND FEW DO.

THIS IS AT ANY COST.

THE ENDS IS JUSTIFIED BY

THE MEANS.

DESTROY THE INFIDEL --

Gordon: AND DESTROY

ISRAEL.

AND IN THE DESTRUCTION OF

ISRAEL, YOU CAUSE THE

MAHTI TO COME.

AND THE CELEBRATION OF

TERRORISTS AS MARTYRS.

Gordon: AS HOLY

WARRIORS.

AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO

CHANGE UNLESS THEY FIND

CHRIST.

THEN THEY CHANGE.

Gordon: THE GOOD NEWS

IN ALL OF THIS IS IRAN

DOES HAVE THE FASTEST

GROWING -- BY PERCENTAGE,

THE FASTEST GROWING

CHRISTIAN POPULATION IN

THE THE WORLD.

WORLD.

THE ONLY O HOPE.

HOPE.

THE ONLY PEACE PLAN.

Gordon: JONATHAN'S

BOOK IS CALLED "UNLOCKING

THE PROPHETIC MINISTRIES

OF ISRAEL."

> STILL AHEAD, A FAMILY

FLEES A WAR ZONE AND

ARRIVES IN ISRAEL WITH

NOTHING BUT TWO SUITCASES.

SEE HOW CBN ISRAEL HELPED

THEM GET BACK ON THEIR

FEET, SO STAY WITH US.

Gordon: WHEN A JEWISH

FAMILY ESCAPED A WAR ZONE

IN UKRAINE, THEY

IMMIGRATED TO ISRAEL.

THEY LEFT EVERYTHING

BEHIND TO START A NEW LIFE

IN AN EMPTY APARTMENT.

WELL, THAT'S WHEN SOMEONE

TOLD THEM ABOUT CBN

ISRAEL.

Reporter: WHEN RUSSIA

INVADED UKRAINE, THE

BOSTON FAMILY FOUND

THEMSELVES IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE FIGHT.

IT HAPPENED ALL AT

ONCE, THE SOLDIERS RUNNING

THROUGH THE STREETS AND

MACHINE GUNS FIRING.

IT WAS LIKE A NIGHTMARE.

WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO

LEAVE THIS PLACE TO

PROTECT OUR TWO DAUGHTERS.

I COULD HEAR THE BOMBS

AT THE EDGE.

I WAS SCARED FOR MY WHOLE

FAMILY.

I THOUGHT ABOUT OUR

DAUGHTERS' FUTURES, AND I

DREMPT OF HOLDING MY

GRANDCHILDREN ONE DAY.

Reporter: EGGER AND

ANEL QUICKLY LOADED TWO

SUITCASES WITH WHAT THEY

COULD AND FLED THE CITY

WITH THEIR DAUGHTERS.

THE COUPLE IS JEWISH AND

IMMIGRATED TO ISRAEL.

WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT

WOULD BE LIKE STARTING A

NEW LIFE IN ISRAEL.

WE COULDN'T SPEAK THE

LANGUAGE, AND WE MOVED

INTO AN EMPTY APARTMENT,

WITH NOTHING.

Reporter: WITH NO

MONEY TO BUY FURNITURE OR

APPLIANCES, THE FAMILY WAS

IN DIRE NEED.

WE LOST FAITH.

I FELT LIKE A MOTHERLESS

CHILD.

Reporter: THEN ANEL

MET A MAN IN HER HEBREW

CLASS WHO TOLD HER CBN

ISRAEL COULD HELP.

SHE CONTACTED US, AND WE

GAVE THE FAMILY A BRAND

NEW REFRIGERATOR, STOVE,

AND WASHING MACHINE.

PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY

HELPED THEM FIND SOME FREE

FURNITURE.

NOW WE FEEL LIKE WE ARE

PROTECTED AND AT HOME

HERE.

THANKS TO YOU, WE FEEL

LIKE SOMEBODY CARES ABOUT

US.

BEFORE WE CAME HERE, I

DIDN'T KNOW CBN ISRAEL

EXISTED, OR THAT YOU WOULD

SIMPLY GIVE US EVERYTHING

WE NEEDED.

Reporter: BOTH EGGER

AND ANEL ARE WORKING NOW,

AND THE GIRLS ARE DOING

WELL IN SCHOOL.

BECAUSE OF CBN ISRAEL, THE

BOSTONS HAVE GOTTEN A

FRESH START.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU

TO ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE

HELPING NOT ONLY US, BUT

OTHERS IN NEED.

YOU SET A VERY GOOD

EXAMPLE OF HOW PEOPLE ARE

SUPPOSED TO CARE FOR EACH

OTHER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU DO NOT JUST GIVE

FINANCIAL SUPPORT, BUT

HOPE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE

STARTING OVER WITH

NOTHING.

EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY

NOW.

I BELIEVE WE HAVE A GOOD

FUTURE.

Gordon: YOU WANT TO
