SID:  Hello Sid Roth here your investigative reporter of the supernatural here with William Morford and we are having a blast. I mean we are talking truth, so the million-dollar question Bill is: if Paul was not a tent maker, which is what everyone says he was, what was he?

WILLIAM:  He made tallit.

SID:  Explain what a tallit is.

WILLIAM:  Tallit is a prayer shawl. And the prayer shawls, in the first century, were very large like ponchos; and I’m sure that they would buy the kosher material which would be extended from wrist to wrist and hang down to the knees; just have a whole cut for the head and then on that…

SID:  So the Spanish didn’t invent the ponchos, we Jews did!

WILLIAM:  That’s right see that’s what was worn in the wilderness and that’s why it’s referred to in Deuteronomy as a man’s blanket. In the Torah it says you can’t take a man’s blanket for security; you lend him something overnight. He has to have his blanket. That was his prayer shawl.

SID:  Okay, now what do the fringes on the prayer shawl…because I’ve got my father’s here actually, here and this is the fringe. What did this represent?

WILLIAM:  Well it’s called a tzitzit in Hebrew, but this corner fringe is what is commanded in Scripture, in the book of Numbers, and it represents all the promises, all the commandments of God.

SID:  Okay, explain to me the woman with the issue of blood. The King James says she reached for Jesus’ garment – what was she reaching for?

WILLIAM:  She was reaching for the tzitzit; for the fringe. The Greek word is kraspedon and it is just used throughout for the translation of the Hebrew word tzitzit. But when…see the purpose of it is to look upon it and it’s for both the wearer and for everyone that sees this out on the street. Because Jesus and all the disciples wore these; and virtually every Jewish man in Israel wore one, and outside of Israel. And they would look upon it and know that, when an anointed man of God wore that, if they could touch this, that this held all of the power of God in it; and that’s why she knew she would be healed if she touched that…

SID:  Okay, but right after she was healed, He went to Jarius’ daughter who had died; and He said no she’s just asleep and they laughed at Him; and He went in and He said, I can’t pronounce it; “tallit cumi?”

WILLIAM: Yes, tallit cumi.

SID:  Now what does that mean?

WILLIAM:  That means prayer shawl arise.

SID:  That’s tallit – obviously! So how come it’s not translated that way?

WILLIAM:  Because the translators just don’t know about it.

SID:  Tallit arise; so what does that mean? Why did he say tallit arise? I don’t get that.

WILLIAM:  What He did was He took off His prayer shawl, and He laid it on her body, and then He spoke to the prayer shawl. And do you know who taught me about that specific thing? Rabbi Ben-Yehuda.

SID:  Whose grandfather invented modern day spoken Hebrew.

WILLIAM:  That’s right.

SID:  I’ll tell you, you can see God’s hand on you, but you also understand healing and that’s why this is such a fresh translation. Tell me briefly, very quickly, what happened to your eyes.

WILLIAM:  I wore glasses; they were required on my driver’s license. Although my vision wasn’t bad, I was nearsighted and needed them to drive. And the Lord spoke to me and I spoke with friends saying, I know the Lord could heal my eyes. And they said well when is He going to do it? And I said He’ll give me a sign, and the very next day my glasses broke.

SID:  Well that’s a sign; that’s a sign to get new glasses. (laughs)

WILLIAM:  But I didn’t. And for the next two months, every morning when I’d get up I would see very clearly no matter where I looked and then it would get a little fuzzy again. And after two months of that I got up one morning and everything was clear and stayed clear. And I was meeting a friend, a pastor, for breakfast and I took him out into the parking lot and I could read license plates further away than he could with his glasses; I could read road signs further away than he could.

SID:  Let me ask you something, the acid test is you went down to get a driver’s license did you need to get glasses?

WILLIAM:  No and I haven’t since.

SID:  How old were you?

WILLIAM:  Last time I was 70.

SID:  And I understand that you had such a revelation – this isn’t for everyone – but you had such a revelation of healing, that you don’t even take medication. Do you take a little aspirin though for the hearts sake?

WILLIAM:  Nothing.

SID:  Nothing?

WILLIAM:  Nothing.

SID:  You look pretty healthy to me.

WILLIAM:  I am. I gave blood last week and my blood pressure was 120 over 80; my pulse was 66.

SID:  And you’re not taking any blood pressure medication?

WILLIAM:  Don’t take anything of any kind.

SID:  Another idiom: the binding and loosing; explain that briefly.

WILLIAM:  Those are critical because to bind is a Hebrew idiom meaning to forbid and loose means to permit. So what Jesus was saying in Mathew 16, and He repeats it in Mathew 18 is that whatever we bind, whatever we forbid on earth will already have been bound in heaven with ongoing effect.

SID:  So in effect if we know what’s going on in heaven we can enforce it on earth.

WILLIAM:  That’s right.

SID:  And the only way we know what’s going on in heaven is this book: the Bible. Hey it’s so simple. You have to become like a child.

WILLIAM:  That’s right we have to be as open and free to think as a child.

SID:  Okay has heaven forbidden sickness?

WILLIAM:  (laughs) It has.

SID:  Therefore, we have the right to look into the camera and be Gods enforcer by using the name of Jesus; I like to use His Hebrew name, but He responds to any language in the world. And I can be God’s enforcer right now. In the name of Yeshua, I command, I forbid that spirit infirmity on your back. I command it to leave in Yeshua’s name. I forbid that, not sickness, that evil spirit, I bind you in Yeshua’s name and I command you off of God’s people; and I pray the

Shalom of God upon you. Your spine is being straightened right now you’re feeling it and you’re hearing it; there’s cracking going on in your spine and in your neck, and in your breathing passages; you can breathe clearly your ears are opening up. Oh it’s so strong in the back right now. I am so glad that I know that I have authority to enforce what my God has done, and I know it from the word of God. It became flesh and it’s written in this book. I think you ought to read this book.

SID:  Hello Sid Roth here your investigative reporter the supernatural here with William Morford and we’re talking about a new, fresh, vibrant translation of the New Testament that has the action that was originally intended in the New Testament. I can tell you from just the tenses and the action words that are used; it has given me a whole fresh understanding of the New Testament. I can’t read the…it’s like I’ve never read the New Testament before; and trust me for 30 years I’ve been reading the New Testament, but there is something very fresh – I believe it is bashert, a Hebrew word that means it is meant to be; but in addition to that, it’s like a two edged sword. William Morford got to know a traditional Jewish rabbi but he wasn’t just any rabbi he was the grandson of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. You see Hebrew had been a dead language for a thousand years; just in the Holy Book, but not a spoken language.  And his grandfather went to Israel, one of the early Zionists, and if his grandfather hadn’t been the architect of modern day spoken Hebrew; I mean he literally created many of the words of Hebrew. This is the grandson that you studied under and his name is Eliezer Ben-Yehuda; and how many languages does he speak?

WILLIAM:  He speaks eight.

SID:  And I would imagine he is very articulate in Hebrew

WILLIAM:  Oh absolutely, absolutely; because he grew up there. He came to the States roughly the age of 20 to go to college

SID:  Why did he teach you? I mean you’re not Jewish – why would he teach you?

WILLIAM:  He feels that he’s to be a bridge, to build a bridge between the Jewish people and Christians. So he was very active in the Lakeland area and Ministerial Association and so on. And he’s just very willing and certainly able to bridge the gap between us.

SID:  Before we get to some of the things he taught you I have a theory and I want you to tell me whether I’m right or wrong. In the New Testament, there is the book of James but we know that James wasn’t his name. We know in the Greek, it’s Jacob.

WILLIAM: Right.

SID: And so therefore, why is it James? Did it have anything to do with King James who authorized the translation? Is this just my imagination or could there be something to it?

WILLIAM:  It has everything to do with it. It was the translators of the King James who wanted to bless their benefactor because they were paid to come together and…

SID:  But you can’t change the word of God. You’re not supposed to. All right, what about something like the word church. How many times is that found in the Greek New Testament?

WILLIAM:  Zero, absolutely none.

SID:  Zero? Zero! You haven’t read the King James lately.

WILLIAM:  Well you’re right, I haven’t done that.

SID:  It’s in there.

WILLIAM:  But it’s not in the Greek.

SID:  Why is it? What is the Greek?

WILLIAM:  The Greek has the word ecclesia which is talking about a gathering of people. So it’s the congregation that Jesus and all the disciples were talking about. And see that’s very Jewish; the Jewish refers to the congregation – it’s the people.

SID:  I always thought the church was never brick and mortar.

WILLIAM:  Right but when we say church we immediately see a building with a steeple and that’s not correct.

SID:  What about something like Easter? King James talks about Easter. What is the Greek word for Easter?

WILLIAM:  The Greek word is a corruption, is pesach, which is the Greek writing of pesach.

SID:  That sounds like Passover.

WILLIAM: Right.

SID: So how did Passover, pesach become or Passover, become Easter?

WILLIAM:  You’ll have to go back a few hundred years and talk to the English translators of the Greek text because Easter is not there.

SID:  I’ll tell you what, this bothers me immensely and let me tell you why though; because I’m Jewish. I was born a Jew and I’ll die a Jew. I had an encounter with the Messiah of Israel: Yeshua in Hebrew, Jesus. And after this encounter with Him, I found that most of my Jewish friends don’t believe in Jesus and the reason is they feel Christianity is a different religion. But as I have studied, it is just New Testament Judaism is what Christianity is. The rabbis went astray because they needed a replacement for the sacrificial system and they opted not for Jesus, and then many Christians went astray because they separated themselves from their Jewish roots; your Bible brings the two back together. I love it.

WILLIAM:  That’s right that’s where we should be. And that’s why in my translation I use the traditional English names because this is aimed at the church. This is to bring Christians into an understanding of where the first century church was. See the church today, in the really going ahead churches; the churches are looking for the power of God. They want to be copies of the first century church as we read in the books of Acts, but we’re not where the first century church was. That was the weapon of power, was through Jewish roots their ties to the Tenach, to the Jewish scriptures. And their growing up knowing of a relationship with God and focusing on the seasons of the Lord; on Jewish life as it’s supposed to be led; focuses on people, it’s on individuals as Malachi says “to return the fathers love to the children and the children’s love to the father.”

SID:  Bill give me an example quickly of an idiom that, if we took literally, we would totally miss.

WILLIAM:  Well talking about the poor, the poor in spirit; that’s repentant.

SID:  That’s so much easier to understand. I mean I have struggled with: what does this mean, poor in spirit? It’s the repentant but there’s so many. And was Paul a tent maker?

WILLIAM:  No,

SID:  He wasn’t a tent maker! Don’t tell them what he was. We’re about ready, and you know what? You’ll be so amazed when you find out what Paul’s profession really was, because it ties in with the power of God. I mean the Hebrew roots coming together tie in with the power of God. We’ll be back in just a moment. Don’t you dare go away!

SID:  Hello Sid Roth your investigative reporter here with William Morford, and I am so excited because he’s a Greek scholar and he has a fresh new translation of the New Testament that will make, I think, most of the others obsolete. Why do I say this? Because he explains Hebrew idioms; a Hebrew idiom is an expression at the time that Jesus walked in the flesh that you can’t take literally. If you take it literally, you’ll miss what he was saying. He also restores the Jewish roots to the New Testament. Again, culturally, if you don’t understand the culture, you will miss what Jesus is saying. But the most exciting thing as far as I’m concerned, and William Morford, I was talking to you before we went on the air, and I said as a Greek scholar that God commissioned to do a fresh translation of the New Testament; it was, I know it was a commission by God. It’s my favorite reading Bible now and I take it with me wherever I go. There were many things literally you were angry over when you saw the other translations, but I asked you what was the thing that made you the angriest?

WILLIAM:  The lack of power – because the Jewish people today are still very expressive and that enthusiasm and the power carries through into the Greek. And the Greek language is a very, very expressive language.

SID:  Now I know what you’re saying because I’ve read this, but I read other Bibles and somehow you have captured the power that the other translations do not have; but give me an example.

WILLIAM:  All right one is at the pool when Jesus healed the paralytic who had been there 39 years. Jesus told him not to just get up and carry his pallet, but he said you must immediately get up and you must continually walk with your pallet.

SID:  That makes such a difference

WILLIAM:  Yes, and see you have to do it immediately; we have to receive a healing and then walk like we have it; go away like Hannah left the temple, the tabernacle, after she prayed before Samuel was born. When she left that tabernacle after talking to Eli, she knew; her countenance was different already. Ours should be different; we should carry our healing and know that we’re to keep it.

SID:  You know there’s a Greek word you translate, and I don’t see it translated that way in other translations, where many times it says, you translated, you are to ‘take’ from the kingdom, from the invisible realm; whereas the words used in King James and some of these other, all these other translations, they just don’t have that action. And I took that one phrase – ‘take.’ And because see I know in the invisible realm, I can just reach my hand through to that invisible realm and pull in what I am believing God for. You know because the word of God is alive but the way that you put the action back into the language. Sickness – I have never seen this before, but in your Bible you don’t call sickness “sickness,” you call it “evil.” Why?

WILLIAM:  Because the word that I translated evil is cockos and that’s the primary meaning of the word. Sickness was just because the translators didn’t know how to deal with it; they didn’t understand deliverance for instance, or that the devil is the source for sickness.

SID: And a lot of people say well God uses sickness to teach me something, to get me closer to God, but there is no evil in God.

WILLIAM:  That’s right.

SID:  And so when you say evil rather than sickness you call it for what it is – something evil, an intelligent being that is evil.

WILLIAM: That’s right

SID: I’m so excited about that, but then it’s like a two edged sword. You talk about the Jewish roots. How in the world did you ever get into that?  You’re not Jewish.

WILLIAM:  No, it was amazing; to start this I had no intention of ever publishing the translation of the Greek; and I kept practicing with Greek. I translated for years and years and years just so I wouldn’t forget the Greek that I’d learned; because it was a painful experience learning all of that.

SID:  It’s difficult

WILLIAM:  That’s right

SID:  So why did you? No why did you learn Greek? The average person does not learn Greek

WILLIAM:  I know that you have to learn the languages to really understand scripture; you have to study both Hebrew and Greek, and I just wanted to have more of God in me. I wanted to have a better understanding of who He is and of what kind of relationship He wants with me, and to do that you have to study the languages, or

SID:  But you had such an eminent professor and when he read this translation of your Bible, what did he say?

WILLIAM:  He took me around and introduced me to a number of people in his church and he said this is one of my students who has surpassed me.

SID:  But you know I don’t believe it was a natural thing; I believe it was a destiny we have a Hebrew word: it’s bashert; it was meant to be. So you have this desire to learn Greek, you surpassed your teachers but at the same time how did you get involved in the Jewish roots because if you miss the Jewish roots you miss this book it was written by Jews for Jews in a Jewish culture? Give me a break!

WILLIAM:  Okay the answer to that lies, we were then living in Lakeland Florida. That’s when the Lord told me to get serious with the translation and I knew that I had to do it; I was just driven to do it. And I had looked for a Messianic rabbi around and there was none close by, but there was one Jewish synagogue. So I called and made an appointment and talked with the rabbi in there and we ended up becoming very close friends. And that rabbi is the grandson of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda the namesake grandson.

SID:  And for those who do not know who Eliezer Ben-Yahuda is, explain.

WILLIAM:  He is the man, who over a hundred years ago reintroduced Hebrew as the common language of Israel.

SID:  He is the modern architect of spoken Hebrew today. Don’t go away it is fantastic!

Sid:  I said what about Gog and Magog and you said.

Joel:  One of my convictions is that all the prophets throughout the Bible, are all basically telling the same story. They’re all looking to and prophesying through the various different events through the day and they’re all pointing to the coming of the Messiah and the events that surrounding His coming. The basic story that they’re telling is that in the last days the antichrist, a charismatic military religious political leader will emerge. He gathers a vast coalition of nations primarily defined as a ten-nation coalition with many nations with them. They invade the land of Israel. The antichrist succeeds in all that he does. He crushes the power of the holy one, Israel. In Israel’s darkest hour, the Messiah returns, He delivers them, they turn to Him forever, He rules the earth from Mt. Zion. That’s the basic story. If people get that basic story down, then they look at the prophets and they see that all the prophets are telling the same story from a slightly different angle. When we get to Ezekiel 38:39, so many Christians try to complicate this and say, “This is a different charismatic military leader. This is a different coalition of nations. This is a different invasion of Israel, a different supernatural victory of the Messiah.” There is a significant key in the passage. God looks and speaks to Gog and says, “Are you not the one that I have spoken of by my former prophets? For many years they prophesied that I would bring you against Israel.” When people look at that they go “Wait a minute. So you’re saying that all of the former prophets that came before Ezekiel were talking about Gog.” If that’s the case, if Gog is someone other than the antichrist, then I say, “Show me one other prophet that’s talking about a Russian-led coalition.” They go silent. Ezekiel is telling the same story that all the prophets are talking about that Gog is another name for the antichrist. Why have people made Gog into something else. The answer is that when they look at the nation, they’re not Roman or European. They’re Middle Eastern. They go, “This can’t fit with some of our previous suppositions.” In order for their whole world-view to work, they need a mechanism to eliminate the world of Islam, because the bottom line is that everyone who does not worship the antichrist will be martyred or persecuted. We know that if there was an antichrist in the earth, the Muslims would not follow him if he was a humanist or Catholic or universalist. If the antichrist is a Muslim leader, then suddenly it makes sense why the Middle East would follow him, why the 1.7 billion would follow him, and why the most anti-Semitic people in the world that surround the nation of Israel today would follow him.

Sid:  You mentioned some things of George Freeman who is the CEO and founder of Stratford the world’s leading private intelligence forecasting company. What does he say about Turkey?

Joel:  This is what’s so fascinating. For years I’ve been saying that the Bible is clear. Turkey will re-emerge as the regional leader of the Middle East. In Freeman’s recent book called “The Next Hundred Years,” he says that in the years to come we will see Turkey emerge as a global super power as the most dominant power in the Middle East. He says that as the Western nations evacuate the Middle East, there will be an inevitable vacuum. History shows that the Middle East is not capable of being dominated by a foreign, Western power, but it is capable of being dominated by a Muslim power. Turkey historically has been the nation that has been able to do that for over five hundred years. Right up until 1924, the Turks ruled the entire Middle East. In the years to come, non Bible-believing secular analysts are saying that that is going to take place. The head wound that appeared to be fatal, is being healed, and the beast is arising from the ashes right before our eyes.

Sid:  What is God’s Holy Mountain Project?

Joel:  God’s Holy Mountain Project is an inter-faith project in Israel founded by Yoav Frankel. He’s an Orthodox Jew. Their desire is to see on the temple both the Mosque of Omar as well as a Jewish temple there on the mount side by side where everyone can go and worship God together all on this one holy location.

Sid:  Then another very intriguing man that you’ve personally met, Adnan Oktar, tell me about him.

Joel:  He is the most published author in the entire Islamic world. He has written nearly three hundred books in sixty-five languages. He literally has come out and said that he believes that during the age of the Islamic messiah they will rebuild the Jewish temple on the Temple Mount. He speaks about Muslims and Jews worshipping God together. They all believe that God is one. For the first time you have a significant Muslim leader from Turkey openly calling for the re-establishment of what he calls Solomon’s Palace on the Temple Mount.

Sid:  He has a new book. What is the premise of that?

Joel:  The new book that’s just come out is about twelve hundred pages is about how “The Mehide,” that’s the Islamic messiah figure, and Jesus will return in this century. This is one of the most significant Islamic books to come out speaking of their messiah figure as well as what they believe is the Islamic Jesus. They believe he’ll be the assistant to the Islamic messiah figure and that he’ll come soon.

Sid:  The best as you see it is a coalition of Islamic nations and they are going to attack the harlot who you believe is Saudi Arabia. Talk about that a little bit.

Joel:  The scripture says that the beast will turn on the woman and devour her. This is intended to be ironic. This is as if you’re watching the Lone Ranger and all of a sudden Silver turns and eats the Lone Ranger. That’s what we are supposed to see in Revelation when we’re reading Revelation. When we look at the breakdown of the Middle East, most of the radical Muslims are happy that the Saudi royals are funding their Jihad, on the other hand they look at the Saudis as an illegitimate, corrupt monarchy that needs to be overthrown. Likewise Iran would love to be the top oil-producing alpha dog of the region. Saudi Arabia’s terrified of Iran. They’re also terrified of a re-emerging Turkish dominance in the region. Right now Saudi Arabia’s quaking in their boots. There was just a news article recently that said that Saudi Arabia was allowing Israeli jets to land in Saudi Arabia for the purpose of potentially attacking Iran. What a lot of people believe is that this thing would break down between Sunni and Shia, but in fact what’s happening is we will see the coming together of various Islamic nations that are radical Islamists and on the other hand you have Saudi, Jordan, and Egypt. They tend to be viewed as more western-friendly. It’s really the more so-called modern nations versus the more radical Islamist nations that desire to see the re-establishment of a caliphate.

Sid:  And a caliphate is?

Joel:  It is the Islamic government run by the police, which is the pope, president, and general of the entire Islamic world.

Sid:  I know they have a plan for Britain to become Islamic. What about for the U.S.?

Joel:  Well of course they would love to see it, but as an intercessor, I’m saying that’s not going to happen. I’m going to stand with my nation and believe that we’ll remain strong as much as possible.

Sid:  Joel on yesterday’s broadcast, you articulated very clearly who Mystery Babylon was. You explained that it is Saudi Arabia. Especially in Revelation 17 and 18, Isaiah 15, Jeremiah 50, and 1 Peter 5:13 you go by brilliantly point by point the scriptures and show all the other nations cannot qualify based on what the scriptures say, and only Saudi Arabia can qualify. Just briefly tell us a few reasons why Saudi Arabia is the harlot.

Joel:  One of the criteria that the Bible lays out for us is that it says this woman will sit in an aramos, which translated is desert. If we’re talking about the Vatican or Rome or the U.S., they don’t sit in the desert. This is not just an allegorical or symbolic term that we should throw away. All of it points to it being a literal reference to the region where this woman is pictured. Another significant issue is that Saudi Arabia is a rabid consumer, and in Revelations17 and 18, the harlett is a rabid consumer. Saudi Arabia doesn’t produce anything except for oil. They literally import everything. The nations of the earth will feel the wrath of this woman’s false religion. As we discussed yesterday, Saudi Arabia is the premier financier of terrorism.

Sid:  It talks about extravagant luxury. Why does Saudi Arabia qualify?

Joel:  Saudi Arabia is unlike any other nation in the world. It’s a nation that is run by a family that is drowning in wealth, and when you look at examples of Saudi luxury, it absolutely surpasses any American President, actor, or real estate mogul. These Saudi princes have so much money to throw around, and the amount of luxury and excess that they live in is unparalleled, and it meets that description that we see reiterated in Revelation.

Sid:  Another thing it says is that the people of the earth will commit fornication with this Great Harlot.

Joel:  This is one of the most significant and important criteria. It needs to be realized that this word fornication is not adultery. A lot of believers have said that this indicates that whoever, this woman is, that she existed in a preexisting covenant with God and then broke it. That would be adultery. The word used in Greek was not adultery but fornication. What that means is that anyone throughout the earth, who does not worship his Creator, the one true God of the Bible, is involved in idolatry. That’s fornication. In the Old Testament there are examples of pagan cities such as Ninevah and Thyre that were called fornicators because they were involved in idolatry. Saudi Arabia today funds, spreads and exports the radical Islamic ideology.

Sid:  Give me an example of what they’re doing to the American universities right in the open.

Joel:  There’s one prince that’s very worthy of taking note of-Alwaleed Bin Talal. He’s one of the wealthiest of all the Saudi princes. He throws money around left and right to promote the Islamic cause. He gave the Harvard University and Georgetown University each 20 million dollars to establish what they’ll call an Islamic studies program, which ultimately amounts to nothing more than a Saudi Arabia wahabi propaganda studies program to spread radical Islam or to spread looking at Islam favorably throughout the earth. Prince Alwaleed comes over to the U.S. and he lectures these universities on the U.S. needing to be more tolerant.

Sid:  When I think of Harvard University, I think of a large Jewish population. Maybe I’m wrong. How in the world do the Jewish students put up with that?

Joel:  The way that the Islamists work is that they preach out of one side of their mouth a peaceful and tolerant form of Islam, and they lecture us, and they demand that we are more tolerant, but then back in their own country they don’t allow a single synagogue or church or any other religious institution to be built other than a mosque. They play both sides, and we here in the West who have been hand-strung by moral and cultural relativity, welcome it and we say, “Yes we of all people need to be more tolerant.”

Sid:  Now could it be that former President Bush spread the lie that Islam is a peace-loving religion because of his long family ties with the Saudi royalty?

Joel:  Few people realize the depth that there is in regard to the Bush family with the Saudi princes. Prince Bandar was the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S. for many years. He is a deep and close friend of the Bush family. We need to realize that this individual over the years has been seen making statements, which indicate that he does support radical Islam to a degree.

Sid:  Why does someone like former President Jimmy Carter bash Israel so much? Is there an ulterior motive that you know of?

Joel:  I think that can be answered with three words. That’s money, money, money. When you look at the history of Carter’s relationship with the Saudis, he’s never come out and opened up about how much money they’ve donated and given to him in various gifts. It is in the tens of millions perhaps even more. Anyone who thinks that 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 million dollars doesn’t have an impact on somebody, they’ve never heard the term blackmail or the Saudi lobby-this has deeply impacted the approach Carter has taken. He will openly bash Israel and refer to Israel as an apartheid nation. He will never once mention the human rights violations that are so rampant in the nation of Saudi Arabia. This is blatant hypocrisy, and that’s what the Saudis get with their tens of millions of dollars put in the back pocket of even American presidents.

Sid:  What about someone like our secretary of state Hillary Clinton or her husband?

Joel:  Just before the election it was revealed that the Clintons had to open up their donation list, and what we saw was that they had received over thirty million dollars from Saudi and gulf Arabs. Whether it’s Bush, Carter, Clinton, Obama.

Sid:  What did Obama get?

Joel:  Those who have studied history say that when he went to college, he was funded by Saudi princes. There were some radical black nationalists that converted to Islam and had ties to the Saudi family, and through that Obama’s education was funded. Today he still has ties to the Saudi Arabian government. When we look at the scripture, it’s very clear. It says that the kings of the earth commit adultery with her. This is one of the premier descriptions of the harlot. When we look at the greatest most significant leaders, the kings of the earth so to speak, we see that every one of them is literally committing adultery with the Saudi princes.

Sid:  If we see this harlot as Saudi Arabia then who is the beast and define the beast.

Joel:  The beast is a coalition of ten nations and many other nations that will be involved with them that will come together in the last days and form the final manifestation of beast-empire. In Revelation 13 it says that the beast had a fatal head wound, and then it came back. In essence this is referring to an empire that appeared dead and then was revived. As I mention and discuss in my DVDs, the primary nations that will make up the beast-empire are the nations of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Lybia. These are the nations that will make up the revived Islamic empire. The head-wound that the beast suffers, a lot of Christians believe that is referring to the antichrist. The motive of beast comes from Daniel 7 and it is referring to an empire. For over five hundred years the nation of Turkey ruled the Middle East.

Sid:  Where do Gog and Magog come in? Isn’t that Russia?

Joel:  That’s what many people say. Unfortunately if you look at Ezekiel

Sid:  We’re out of time. Lets pick up there on tomorrow’s broadcast.
