- All right, well welcomeback to the show everyone,
and welcome back to another round
of Q and A with none otherthan Gordon Robertson.
Are you ready, Gordon?
- Are you ready, Ashley?
I may turn this back on you.
- Oh, goodness, no, no.
We want to hear from you.
All right, well, your dad gave a very
powerful, prophetic wordlast week on The 700 Club
about the election and the events
that will happen globallyafter the election,
and I just feel like it would be helpful
if you broke that down a little bit.
First he talked about thatthere's going to be more chaos
and disunity in Americaafter the election,
and because of all that,there's going to be
a prophecy in Ezekielthat will be fulfilled.
Can you break down thatEzekiel prophecy for us?
- Well, the Ezekiel prophecy is actually
not about events in America,
and for those that want tofollow with the scripture,
it's Ezekiel 36, 37, 38.
You know, "I will yet beinquired of by Israel for this"
is how it begins,
and it talks about the restoration
of the Jewish people tothe nation of Israel.
You know, the president ofYale University, Ezra Stiles,
back in the revolutiondays, I mean this is,
I'm going all the way back to 1780,
he read scripture in Hebrew.
He was a Hebrew scholar.
He found things in that that convinced him
that Israel would be restored as a nation,
and he was so absolutelyconvinced of this,
and convinced that itwas going to happen soon,
that he wanted everyfreshman at Yale University
to learn Hebrew, and itbecame a great tradition
of the evangelicals of America
to support Israel and to support Israel
becoming a nation state.
Now at the time, 1780, it was impossible.
The Ottoman Empire controlledthe land of Palestine.
There wasn't any chancethat the Muslim Ottomans
would ever do that,
but things started to unfold.
100 years after EzraStiles is saying well,
it's in the Bible, it's gonna happen,
it was the beginningof the Zionist movement
and you know, Herzl'sfamous the Jewish State,
which curiously was asecular movement, it wasn't--
The orthodox were firmly of the opinion
that the Messiah wouldreestablish the nation,
and it took secular Jews,
non-religious Jews,
to say no, we're going to do this.
Then a series of unusual events,
I'm led to think they'remiraculous events,
the Balfour Declaration was made,
the League of Nations established that
part of their goals was to create
a nation state for theJewish people in Palestine.
That became part of international law
at the San Remo Conference.
The Brits didn't follow up on the mandate.
There was a lot of concernabout the supply of oil
for the British Navy,and so they didn't do it,
and then it took a horrible war,
and it took those events.
At the same time, some wonderfulpeople in Israel saying
we believe in this,
and David Ben-Gurion leading them.
We are going to establish a nation here,
and then in 1948, the miracle happens,
and the dry bones come to life
and the nation of Israel is born,
and the prophecy is fulfilled.
Can a nation be born in a day,
and the answer is yes, and it happened.
And it broke through asan incredible fulfillment
of prophecy in whatevangelicals in America
had been seeing for almost 200 years.
Then you have the Six Day War,
and the reunificationof Jerusalem in 1967,
fulfillment of what Jesus said,
and then you look at Ezekiel 38,
and that is the unfulfilled piece
when Israel is at peace.
So look at those chapters
and that'll give you more insight.
