[0:00]This is the location where the Bible says that the end of the world is going to happen. I'm currently standing in the exact valley where the Bible predicts that there will be a war so great, it will end all wars forever. Armageddon. And right up there at the top of the Mount of Olives, you can see, look at that sky up there. Right in that sky, the Bible says that Jesus is going to appear. He's going to descend from that sky, touch his feet down on the Mount of Olives, and when he does, Bible says that something so terrifying will happen, it will change this place forever. But right before Jesus returns to this mountain for the Battle of Armageddon, six shocking signs will happen inside the land of Israel. So I traveled to the exact locations where the Bible says each of these six signs is going to take place. I want to see exactly how close we are to the second coming of Christ, but I was not prepared for what I saw. The first big sign of the end times happens at the most contested piece of land in the entire world. So right now we are literally standing on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and that's where the temple would have stood. We're actually walking up onto the Temple Mount right now. For those who don't know, this golden dome building that I'm standing in front of is a shrine called the Dome of the Rock. And most archaeologists believe that this shrine was built on the exact piece of rock where the ancient Jewish temple used to stand. So they believe that the area of the Holy of Holies would have been right inside. Right inside of these gates right here. I'm going to walk up, try to get close to it. This is the place where the presence of God came. But this isn't a Jewish shrine, it's Muslim. In fact, the Muslims currently control the entire Temple Mount, which is why the Jews are forced to pray and worship outside the walls of the Temple Mount. But the Bible says in the last days, this is all going to change. And what I saw while I was here made me realize that this change was already starting to happen. Something's going on over here. Do you hear that? It's like some chanting or something going on over here. I'm going to go see what it is. Literally, just feet away from where the biblical temple used to stand. Something pretty shocking was happening. What's happening here? What's happening? Yes. But in order for you to understand what I saw there, you first need to understand sign number one and number two on our timeline. Because they both have to do with Israel and the Jews. When Jesus stood on this exact ground that I'm standing on now, he prophesied that not one stone of this temple would be left on another. And just a few decades later, this prophecy came true. The Roman Empire burned this great Jewish temple to the ground, forced the Jewish people out of their land, and over the last 2,000 years, they've been scattered all over the world. But what's crazy is that the Bible said that's exactly what would happen. Just take a look at this verse here, written hundreds of years before the Romans invaded. I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. What's really interesting is that in 1948, the Jewish people came from nations all over the world and became a nation again after 2,000 years of Israel being nonexistent. But interpreting 1948 as a fulfillment of the Bible prophecy we just read in Ezekiel 36 has caused a lot of debate and controversy today. But before you get upset, just hear me out. Not only does the Bible say that Israel is going to be a nation in the last days, but the Bible also says that in the last days, Jerusalem will be controlled by the Jewish people again. Jesus himself said, Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. The term Gentile is just a fancy word that means someone who is not a Jew. And almost 20 years after Israel became a nation again, they took control of Jerusalem in the 1967 War. So if the Bible says that the nation of Israel and the City of Jerusalem are going to be a big part of end-times prophecy, and only in the last 100 years have Israel and Jerusalem become a thing again, what does that tell you about how close we are to the return of Christ? Here's how I like to think of it. Imagine a doomsday clock. When this clock hits midnight, the end of the world will happen. Now, imagine the nation of Israel is the hour hand. When Israel became a nation again in 1948, it was like the hour hand had struck 11:00 p.m. And as soon as it did, we knew that we were getting close to midnight. Now, imagine Jerusalem is the minute hand. When Israel took control of Jerusalem in 1967, it was like the minute hand struck 11:59 p.m. And as soon as it did, we really knew that we were getting close to the end. But our doomsday clock has a third hand on it that we haven't talked about yet, the second hand, and it seems like it's getting extremely close to midnight as well. And when it does, time's up. So then, what's the second hand? What's happening here? What's happening? Yes. It's prayers? Boys and girls? Let's talk to him, okay? Hi. I'm just visiting. What's what's happening over there? It's a Jewish group. Just feet away from where the Jewish temple used to be, a group of Jews were gathered here worshiping God, even though they had been banned from doing so for years. All throughout the Temple Mount, we even found Jews lying face down on the ground, surrounded by guards, as they worshipped God. This is totally new, and even just a year ago, it would have been impossible to do this on a Muslim holy site. But today, plans are being made to replace the Dome of the Rock with a brand new Jewish temple. This is the second hand, and sign number one on our timeline. The Bible says that in the last days, an evil ruler is going to arise who will promise peace and prosperity to Israel for seven years. You probably know him as the Antichrist, but halfway through his seven-year peace plan, he is going to do something that will shock the world. He is going to come to the new Jewish temple, force all the Jews to stop worshipping God, and instead, declare himself to be God. This is sign number two on our timeline. And when he does this, the Bible says that the Jews are going to flee to a very unusual place. It's a location we're about to go visit next, but in order for any of this to happen, a new Jewish temple needs to be built on the Temple Mount. And based on what I saw while I was there, it seems like the Jewish people are ready to take the first chance they can get to do just that. Now, before we head to our next location, you might be wondering why archaeologists are so confident that this is the real location of where the biblical temple used to stand. The answer to this question is in the dirt, buckets of it. Is this all of the soil right here from the temple? And what is interesting about the soil, if you look, here it's a bit wet. It's very, very thin, and it has a dark color. Why? Why is it? This has to do with the soil of the Temple Mount is fairly dark. We find here a lot, a lot of charcoal remains from the Second Temple that was burnt. This soil was taken from where we just were at the Temple Mount, and mixed inside this soil are the ashy remains of the Jewish Temple that the Romans burned to the ground. In these buckets, this is a treasure trove. This is Aran, and he is just one of the archaeologists that make up the Temple Mount Sifting Project. An organization that has rescued tons of Temple Mount soil that was almost bulldozed out of existence, and has now made it their mission to uncover the incredible history inside this ancient soil. So good. Have you been able to find anything? Pottery, mosaics, bones, special stone and glass. Wow, that's amazing. How long have you been sifting for to find this? Two buckets. Two buckets, in two buckets you found this? Yes. But this is a massive project that they aren't able to do alone, which is why they take the Temple Mount soil that has already been sifted, and put it inside these timeless keepsakes. The important research that's happening here, all the sifting that you just saw, Temple Mount soil makes all of this possible. Because when you purchase one of these, you're helping to fund the continued research that's happening right here in this facility.

Okay, so the next sign on our timeline takes place in possibly the most unique location I've ever visited in my entire life.
[9:27]Like we mentioned earlier, the Bible says that the Antichrist is going to stand in the newly built temple in Jerusalem and declare himself to be God in the middle of his seven-year peace plan. This is what the prophet Daniel referred to as the Abomination of Desolation in the Bible. Jesus warned, when this happens, run. For the next three and a half years, the Bible says that the Antichrist is going to start coming for people's heads if they don't bow down and worship him or get his new signature tattoo. This is why the Bible describes a remnant of Jews in Israel at the time who will escape the country to hide from the Antichrist in a very unique place. Now, although the location these Jews flee to is not 100% certain, the Bible does give us some pretty good clues as to where they go. It says that they flee to the wilderness, somewhere in the mountains outside of Israel. But there's another clue that is very specific. The Bible says that God is going to gather the Jewish people like a shepherd gathers his sheep in a place called Bozrah. History tells us that the ancient city of Bozrah was located in what is now the modern country of Jordan, in this wilderness area here. It's a region full of rocky mountain ranges. Now, two different locations in this area have been proposed by scholars as being the actual ancient city of Bozrah. The first one is the Arab village Buseira, located here. The main reason people think that this was Bozrah is that the name of the village Buseira could have derived from the name Bozrah, because it sounds kind of similar. It's an interesting argument for sure, but I think there's some pretty good evidence that this other location is the real Bozrah. It's an ancient city that you might have seen in the third Indiana Jones movie, the ancient city of Petra. Okay, I might be a little biased because Indiana Jones is kind of my alter ego, but this place is breathtaking to see in person. The buildings here are carved directly into the stone by the ancient people. But here's what makes this city so interesting. Not only is it in the exact area we know ancient Bozrah was located, but it's also completely enclosed by massive cliffs with only one skinny entrance in and out of the city. What's crazy is that the name Bozrah actually means sheepfold. And if you know anything about ancient sheepfolds, you know that they only had one narrow entrance in and out so that the shepherd could count his sheep. In a similar way, Petra is like a giant sheepfold with only one narrow entrance, surrounded by cliffs. This is why I believe that Petra is the location God has prepared for the protection of the Jewish people from the Antichrist in the last days. But you might be asking, how come the Antichrist doesn't just send military drones or whatever to attack this place? Why does he have to wait three and a half years to finally march down there? I know, I was wondering the same exact thing, until I learned about this verse here. It says that the Antichrist is going to conquer many countries all over the world, but these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. Now take a look at where these ancient nations were located on our modern map today. It's the modern country of Jordan. In other words, during those three and a half years that the Jews are hiding here, the Antichrist will be able to conquer the world, but God will somehow keep the country of Jordan out of his reach. This is just another reason why Petra is the perfect place for these Jews to find shelter from this crazy dictator. For three and a half years, these Jews will enjoy safety here. Meanwhile, something is going to happen in Northern Israel over here that is going to be so shocking, it is guaranteed to become the greatest news story this world has ever seen. Now, I'm standing here on a mountain called Mount Carmel. So right now we're standing on Mount Carmel, and behind me, you can see the Valley of Armageddon. You might be saying, wait a second, I thought that Armageddon happens at the other valley we saw at the beginning of the video. Yeah, this confused me too when I first learned about it, but take a look at what the Bible says here in the Book of Revelation. But I got to warn you, it's a bit creepy. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Frogs coming out of the mouths of dragons? This might be one of the most confusing verses in the Bible. But after doing some more research using scripturaly, my Bible study app that lets me tap a verse and get instant explanation from biblically accurate sources, Within seconds, I learned that the dragon represents Satan, and the beast represents the Antichrist. The false prophet is the Antichrist's associate, and the frogs are demonic spirits. Creepy, right? But what do these frog demons actually do? Let's keep reading. For they are spirits of demons performing signs, which go out to the kings of the Earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
[14:59]And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. This word Armageddon is actually the words Har Megiddo, or Mount Megiddo, and geographically, it's located in the exact area where I'm standing. But what most people don't realize is that the Bible never says that any fighting happens here. It simply says that demonic spirits are going to gather all the armies of the nations here and get ready for battle. This is the place where the Bible says the Antichrist is going to gather his armies. This Valley of Armageddon, also known as the Jezreel Valley, has a ton of biblical history. It's where God's judge Gideon defeated the enemies of Midian, and where Saul, the first king of Israel, was killed by Israel's arch enemies, the Philistines. And it's so huge that the great French General Napoleon Bonaparte reportedly said that all the armies of the world could maneuver their forces on this vast plain. And one day, they will. And you can imagine, India, Russia, all of these different world nations gathering together here. Every president, Prime Minister, and king on earth will be convinced that they need to join the Antichrist for a massive battle. So crazy how big this place is. You can literally see where all the armies would fit right here. But who are all these armies going to fight? And if they aren't fighting here, then where? Take a look at this passage here in the Book of Zechariah. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. The reason they need so much manpower is because they aren't just going up against some king. They're going up against the King of Kings himself, Jesus Christ. This is the fifth sign on our timeline. Now, we just have one more to go, but it is the most important one by far. The Bible tells us the exact location at Jerusalem where Jesus is going to return to Earth. It's where we're going next. The view from here is incredible. Wow. Look at all these tombs. And then that right there. That's the Temple Mount. That's where the temple would have stood right where the Dome of the Rock is. I'm currently standing right here on the Mount of Olives. The exact place where the Bible says that the feet of Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives. What's crazy is that this exact verse you just saw is the reason why so many Jews have decided to be buried here. In the Judgment Day, when Messiah came, it's ready. So they are here. This is very close to the Temple. So they believe the Messiah is going to come straight to them and just raise them from the dead. So this is a Jewish cemetery right here. It's a Jewish cemetery, of course. This is a Jewish cemetery. They, too, believe that the Messiah is going to come here and raise the dead back to life. They just don't think it's Jesus. Listen to what my Jewish friend Avi said when he was giving me a tour of the Temple Mount. And we, as Jews, also don't believe in the first and second coming. We believe in one coming of Messiah. Meaning, we don't have this divide that Messiah will come, and 2,000 years later he will come again. And I always tell that with my Christian friends because I have many, many Christian friends, which I respect a lot. They say, when Messiah will come, Mount of Olives, right over there, we will ask him if your first or second visit. What seems so obvious to us as Christians just isn't for the majority of Jewish people today. The Bible has multiple prophecies about the Messiah coming to restore the world, but it also has prophecies about the Messiah coming to suffer. The problem is that most Jews have actually never heard of them before, like my Jewish friend here who I met on the streets of Jerusalem. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon him. And his stripes were healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. You know, this is the New Testament, right? No, no, no, this is the Old Testament. Aha. This is the first time I read this part. Um, I'm not a, I'm, you know, I'm not a rabbi or anything, but Does your rabbis have not discussed this passage? Not really, no. He went on to tell me that he is still waiting for the Messiah to come, and that he's going to come here on the Mount of Olives. What's crazy is that this is the same mountain where Jesus said his final goodbyes to his disciples as he ascended into the heavens. The Bible says that the disciples stared at Jesus as he floated up into the clouds, when suddenly some angels spoke up and said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven. In other words, Jesus is coming back, and he's coming back here. This is the mountain where Jesus is going to return. When he comes in his second coming, the Bible tells us that he's going to return here on the Mount of Olives, and that there's actually going to be a massive battle that's going to take place. Okay, this next part is crazy. I'm going to explain exactly what's going to happen during this battle. Because there are some details that almost everyone overlooks that makes this battle so much more crazy than most people realize. But first, you need to understand that when Jesus returns, he doesn't come alone. He brings an entire army with him. Take a look at what the Book of Revelation says here. And the armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Jesus on white horses. Okay, so who exactly are these armies of heaven? Well, the Book of Revelation actually answers this pretty clearly. Only a few verses before this one, the Bible says that it is the Christians who are given fine linen, clean and bright. We are going to come out of the heavens over here. And we're going to be following Jesus on a white horse, and the Bible says that Jesus is going to come down. He's going to touch down right here on this exact place that we're standing, this exact mountain, Mount of Olives. And all the Antichrist armies and all of them are going to be here, all of the enemies of God. Okay, this next part is crazy. The last time Jesus came to Earth, he came to bring the healing forgiveness of God, but the next time he comes, he's coming to make war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns. Now, out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, and with it, he should strike the nations. All of the Antichrist armies that have gathered against him in the Kidron Valley are about to face the wrath of Jesus. Right in that sky, the Bible says that Jesus is going to appear with his church, that's you and me. He's going to descend from that sky, touch his feet down on the Mount of Olives. The Bible says that when he touches his feet on the Mount of Olives, it's going to split in two, and that he's going to destroy all of the Antichrist armies, all of the evil of the world. The Bible says that when Jesus feet touch the Mount of Olives, the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west, making a very large valley. Half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. This is part of God's terrifying judgment on the Earth. But what's crazy is that scientists recently discovered something underneath this mountain that makes this prophecy feel so much more real. Beneath this great hill, they discovered a major fault line, meaning that an earthquake could happen here at any moment. And then the Bible says something that's kind of crazy. It actually says that the blood of all of the armies that are gathered here is going to fill up so high that that blood is going to run down from the Kidron Valley, all the way down to the Red Sea. This is where everything ends. Everything ends right here. The end of all of our pain, all of our hardship, all all of death forever is going to end right here in this valley. Jesus is going to put an end to evil and is going to establish his kingdom forever.
