Hello, I'm Gary Stearman of Prophecy Watchers, and I got a question, and this question is very important.

How should we be looking at Israel these days, prophetically speaking?

No. Israel, Biblically important and important in global politics today in ways that we can hardly imagine. We have a guest, once again, Billy Crone with us, and let's talk about Israel because you have written about it.

Right. Well, and that's why it's entitled, the Jewish people and the Antichrist, and that's why we felt led that that's volume one of our

in minute detail, and they're one of the big watershed prophecy signs you need to pay attention to.

And so many of these events that are going to happen to Israel, to the Jewish people in the

seven-year tribulation, Gary, they're on the cusp of being fulfilled and we document this and which
