Sid: Hello. Sid Roth here with Walid Shoebat. And Walid, I can’t wait to find out the answer to some of these questions. You see, I want to talk to someone born in the Middle East. I want to talk to someone that was raised as a terrorist. I want to talk to someone that had an encounter with the Living God and with every fiber of his being loves Jesus, loves the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, loves Israel. I want to find out from you because of all the firestorm that’s going on in the Middle East and all the young people that are revolting against their governments, what is going to happen to the oil in the Middle East?
Walid: It’s going to be destroyed and burned, especially in Saudi Arabia.
Sid: Why do you say that?
Walid: Well in Isaiah 21, it’s pretty clear. “The burden against the desert of this sea.” That’s Arabia. In fact, if people are in doubt, continue the text. It says, “The burden against Arabia.” And it tells us who destroys it. “Arise on Elam.” Elam is Persia, Iran. Iran will burn it to a point that it will burn forever. In Isaiah 34, it’s pretty clear. “It will become burning pitch.” And that’s about Edom. Edom of course stems from Teman, Yemen to Edam, which is in Arabia.
Sid: What is going to happen in the West if all this oil goes up in flames? But that’s for another show. But tell me about Egypt. What’s the future of Egypt.
Walid: Egypt will have a civil war. Isaiah 19. In fact, the question people should ask is why in Isaiah 19:1, “The Lord comes riding on a swift cloud and is coming into Egypt.” When was the last time they taught here in the Sunday schools, you know, let’s talk about Jesus Christ coming down to Egypt fighting Muslim Egypt. It’s impossible. It doesn’t even exist in the West. Yet he fights Egypt. And before he comes there will be a civil war. Egyptian will go against Egyptian. And then the believers in Egypt. In fact, “They will cry for the Lord to send them a savior and the Lord will send them the savior, and the mighty one.” Who is the savior? The Messiah. He will come to fight Egypt, because of the persecution of the Coptic Christians, which we see already happening.
Sid: I got so many other nations I want to ask Walid about, but we just don’t have the time. So I have to ask this question. Where did you come up with that there’s seven nations that are going to fight the Antichrist? Where did that come from?
Walid: Well most people who read Micah 5, if you ask a westerner, you know, where’s Jesus born, they give you Micah 5. He was born in Bethlehem. But they never continue the text. The text is pretty clear, that there is this Assyrian figure who is the Antichrist will come against Israel. Then God says, “We will raise against him,” the Assyrian, “seven shepherds and eight princely men,” who are the seven shepherds. In fact, the Bible tells us it’s the seven shepherds that will destroy the Assyrian, the Antichrist. Seven allied world leaders will get together and will stand with Israel.
Sid: Okay. The million-dollar question: Where’s the U.S. in this equation? Are we one of the seven, do you believe?
Walid: Yes, sir, because if you look at Daniel 11 where most people look at the character of the Antichrist thinking he’s just a homosexual atheist person. No. He’s very religious. He will honor a god of fortresses, a god of war, and he will declare war on the strongest fortresses. In other words, he declares war on the strongest military might in the world. He doesn’t win. He loses because—
Sid: Okay. When there’s this big war in Israel, is Israel going to rise to the occasion?
Walid: Absolutely. Half the city of Jerusalem will be taken, will be invaded by these troops that comes against Israel and there will be a rape epidemic in the Arab section against Jewish women. That’s pretty clear in Zachariah. When Israel sees this it says in the Bible that “The feeble amongst Jew will fight like King David.” In other words, Israel will be so zealous to fight for Jerusalem and they will be victorious because that’s when the Messiah will come mounting the Mount of Olives and all the believers will be with him.
Sid: You know what I believe, Walid? I believe that if someone loves Jesus with all of their heart and they mix up God’s plan for the Jew in Israel, and they side with the world, they side with—It’s amazing. In Joel, Chapter 3, it says, “The nations will judged in the last days for one sin, one sin only: dividing up my land.” So what do you do with all this turmoil? First thing you do is you repent of your sins and you make Jesus your Lord and come live inside of me, Jesus. Say it with me now. Read the Bible like Walid did and think for yourself. It’s time.
