Sam Shamoun gives a powerful lesson on the Assyrian people through biblical history, explaining how God judges nations for sin yet preserves those who turn back to Him. He connects prophecy, Israel’s exile, and Assyria’s survival as proof of divine mercy, arguing their endurance is a sign that Christ never abandoned them.

0:00.0	By the way, in regards to us, Assyrians, you know the story about what happened with us.
0:07.1	You're a good storyteller.
0:08.7	You know how to break things down well.
0:10.8	I don't know if I can't with Syrians.
0:12.7	What happened to Syrians?
0:14.3	We used to have a country, you know, the fall of Babel.
0:16.2	What happened to us?
0:17.6	If you're asking me from a theological perspective, because Old Testament history,
0:22.3	because it's not just prophesied history, well, we're told in the book of Nahum, if you're asking
0:28.0	me now, just as a Christian, see the political landscape from the revelation God has given,
0:34.0	because that's the only source I have, right? I mean, if we can conjecture all we want,

1:32.1	The reason why I'm working through Israel is to move them to worship me. This is the theme in the Old Testament. And point of fact, I want to ask you guys a question as I answer this one.
