Starting point is 00:00:00 As I mentioned last class, there are three major questions that will determine how this war is fought, what this war will end up looking like, and how the world will change. And as I discussed last class, I'm making three predictions about this war. The first is the United States will use ground troops. And this will mean that Donald Trump will institute a national draft. That's the first prediction. Second prediction is that Israel and the United States will not use tactical nuclear weapons in this war. Number three is that the out-axic mosque, the third holiest site in the Islamic world will be destroyed during this war.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Okay, so last class I explained my analysis and my reasoning for my first two, Today I'll explain my third prediction. So before we start, I just want to look at some videos. Okay, so you understand some of the context, some of the players in this war. All right, so this is Senator Blumenthal of Connecticut and he is one of the 100 members of the US Senate. He's also one of the members of the gang of eight.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Now, when you are fighting a war, in a war, the White House has responsibility to report its objectives, its purpose, how the war's progressing to eight members of Congress in a confidential setting. And this is Senator Blumenthal after he's been debriefed by the White House. And this is what he has to say about the progress of the war so far. I emerged from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate. I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war. or my questions have been unanswered.
Starting point is 00:02:32 And I will demand answers because the American people deserve to know. And I guess I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran. We seem to be on a path toward deployment. employing American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. And there is also, as disturbingly as anything else, the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives. All right. So three things to take away from his talk with reporters.
Starting point is 00:03:31 The first thing is the administration, Donald Trump, the White House, has not articulated a budget. How much will this war cost? Which means that this is an open-ended war. We don't know when this war will end, and so we don't know what the commitment is, and so we don't know how much this war will cost. Okay? That's the first point he makes. The second point he makes is we are on a path towards the deployment of ground troops in Iran. Okay, and that basically means a national draft.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Now, the third thing that's crucial is he says that they know for a fact that Russia is already involved in this war aiding Iran. Okay? So that's the three main takeaways from, okay, so this is the foreign minister of Iran, Agatchi, talking to NBC News. All right? And NBC News is going to ask Agassi, hey, there's talk United States already of ground truths being used against Iran. Okay? Now, I want you to observe his response and then the response of the journalists. President Trump has not ruled out boots on the ground in Iran. Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country? No, we are waiting for them.
Starting point is 00:05:11 You were waiting for the U.S. military to invade the ground troops? Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them. Okay, you understand? Okay? Okay. So you're saying that Iran is ready and willing to take on the U.S. military if there were to be ground troops? Well, we were ready for this. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:37 So again, certain things to appreciate. First of all, the fore minister, I got you, he is not at all concerned about ground troops. In fact, he basically said it's a trap for you guys. You come in, we've been preparing for about 20 years for this, we will destroy you. thing that you will notice is the journalist is completely surprised by the answer. He's shocked into silence. He asked again, wait, are you saying you're ready for ground troops? And so this shows you that within Washington, D.C., within the Trump administration,
Starting point is 00:06:16 within the foreign policy elite, within the media elite, they haven't really fought this threw out. They really haven't considered a possibility of losing this war. Washington you see right now it's a bubble, okay? It's an insular bubble where everyone just believes the same things. And that's very problematic if you are to continue fighting this war, okay? Right, let's continue. Okay, this is Rabbi Sniersson.
Starting point is 00:06:53 and he is the leader, or he used to be, he's died, but he used to be the leader of an organization called the Shabbat Lubavich. I'll be talking more about Shababababhubovic as we go along, okay? But I introduce you to him now. This year in 1990, and he is talking to Benjamin Netanyahu, who is a young and up upcoming politician in Israel, okay? And so let's look at the conversation. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I'm going to say, and after there's a lot of time and there are there's a few he said for all the many of them
Starting point is 00:07:42 and when she said from the after they've metissed they're they're and what he oz
Starting point is 00:07:53 and what's her I'm going to leave him. So I've got to make sure and what is that. We're saying, yes. I'm not sure. Because the day, for a lot, and how much of days,
Starting point is 00:08:08 but there's a few shod, so on, so there is to stand even, and so on the other. Okay, so what's going on here? Okay, so as an up-miklimin politician, Netanyahu is going to the rabbi,
Starting point is 00:08:26 and the rabbis are most powerful people in the Jewish society, he basically says, will you give me your blessing? Will you support me in my political endeavors? The rabbi says, yes. They also talk about how things are progressing, okay? So another way of saying this is that there's almost like a plan in motion
Starting point is 00:08:47 to achieve certain religious objectives, and things are going well. But the rabbi Snirson says, ah, but they're not going fast enough because we need the Messiah, the great leader of the Jewish people, to come. And we can set in motion things that will force the coming of the Messiah.
Starting point is 00:09:08 So let's speed things up, Navajo. Okay? So what this is, I'll explain later on, okay? But I want you to be aware of this, who these people are. Rabbi Sinai Sennerson is very important for a story, and Nana Yahu, of course. course is the current Prime Minister of Israel.
Starting point is 00:09:25 All right, let's continue. All right. I want to know what you're reading now? What I'm reading? Yeah. For the Jews against Brood. What made you pick it up? Well, we lost that.
Starting point is 00:09:45 I think we have to win the next one. We want to know what you're reading now. Okay. All right. So that's a very quick exchange, okay? So a journalist is asking Benjamin Netanyahu, what book are you reading now? And he says, Jews versus, sorry, Rome versus the Jews.
Starting point is 00:10:06 It's a book by Barry Strauss and historian. And it goes on about the three wars that the Jews fought against the Romans. And it was essentially a Holocaust for the Jews. A lot of Jews either died or enslaved. The Romans burned down the second temple. So this is historical animosity of the Jews against the Romans. But what he said is, what makes it. What Benjamin Nanyahu said is that I read this book because we lost that war against Rome.
Starting point is 00:10:39 But the next war against Rome, we must not lose. The question then is, who's Rome? It's not Iran, guys. It's probably not Russia. It's probably America, right? The great empire. So this is strange because Israel is the ally of America in this war. But Nan Langev is saying that, no, our real enemy is Rome.
Starting point is 00:11:07 That's what we must prepare for. So I want you guys to keep this in mind. All right. This is Peter Hexev, who is a secretary of war for Donald Trump. Okay? And this is the year of 2018, where he is in Jerusalem, and he's talking to Christian Zionists and Zionists. Okay? Who these people are?
Starting point is 00:11:30 I'll explain later on. Okay. But let's listen to his speech really quickly. And I had a chance to go see the western wall of the Temple Mount, the western wall tunnels, so much of the old city. And as you stand there, you can't help but behold the miracle before you. And it got me thinking about another miracle that I hope all of you don't see too far away. Because 1917 was a miracle, 1948 was a miracle,
Starting point is 00:12:02 1967 was a miracle 2017 the declaration of Jerusalem and the capital was a miracle and there's no reason why the miracle of the reestablishment of the temple on the temple mount is not possible okay so he is a Christian he's not a Jew
Starting point is 00:12:24 but what he's saying is that he's come to Jerusalem and he's visited these Jewish holy sites and he can't be he can't help be amazed be awed by the beauty, the spirituality of the Western Wall. He also goes on to say that there's been a series of miracles, okay? So, 1917 was the Balfour Declaration when basically the British Empire permitted the Jews to found the nation state of Israel.
Starting point is 00:12:55 1948 was when Israel was founded. 1967 was when Israel fought a war against its Arab neighbors and won. And 2017 was when Donald Trump transferred the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, thus recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. And what he's saying is that, well, if this is a series of steps to achieving a divine plan, then the next miracle should be the rebuilding of Sondman's temple, the third temple, and that means destroying the Isaac mosque. Okay? So what's going on here? Okay, again, I'll explain to you later on, but I want to be aware of who these people are and how they think.
Starting point is 00:13:43 All right, let's go one more video. And so if you want to build someone's temple, if you want to build the third temple, you need to get rid of the third holiest site in the systemic world. And how do you do that? Well, there are some options, okay? So, the mask and clear the place for the third Vettamikdash. That could also be a miracle. If it was up to me, the last time when they shot hundreds of missiles, I would pretend that one missile came from Iran and shoot it down. You know, then all the Arabs will go against Iran and will be the end of the problems. You make them fight with each other, this bunch of lunatics.
Starting point is 00:14:43 That's never too late. You deal with a bunch of cowards. Okay, so this is a rabbi in Israel. He's saying how last year, during a 12-day war in June, Iran was firing missiles at Israel. And what he's saying is, you know, that was an opportunity for us to pretend that Iranian missile hit the Dome of the Rock,
Starting point is 00:15:09 the electric mosque, that's destroying it. And then, well, the Arabs will blame the Iranians, and the Arabs will go to war against the Persians. And then we can just sit back and laugh at these lunatics. Okay. So, again, this may be confusing to you as to who these people are, why they are saying these things. All right? But now what I'm going to do is explain to you what is really going on, okay? And I keep on saying this, but it is hard from a geopolitical profession.
Starting point is 00:15:42 perspective to explain this US-Iran war. You have to look at the religious perspective, okay? The religious angle, and that's what I want to focus on today. Okay, okay, so again, this is the three holiest sight in the Islamic world. This is Saudi Arabia, Mecca Medina, and this is the Domba Rock, the Aalaxic Mos. which is where Mohammed was supposed to ascend to heaven. And the Jews and the Christian Zionists believe that this must be destroyed so that they can build the third temple or Solomon's temple.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Okay? All right. So this is the big question in this war. And again, I keep on saying this. But I need to be right in my prediction, in my analysis. if my analysis is to be correct. If they do not destroy the Alexaq Moss and if they are able to achieve peace,
Starting point is 00:16:59 then my predictive model, my analysis is completely wrong. And just ignore me, okay, for the rest of my life. I can go back to teaching, you know, great books or something. All right. So let us examine why this is important, okay? So today I want to introduce you to a new theory of game theory called the Law of Eschatological Convergence.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Okay, so this is a very hard thing to write down, okay? It sounds complicated, but it's not, okay? Eschatology, what it is is a story of how the world ends. And it's very compelling for people because, remember, we just discussed this last semester, but as human beings, we have three questions. Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going?
Starting point is 00:18:14 And that scotology provides a story that answers all three questions. Why God created us? What our mission on Earth is? and what God has planned for the end of the world. Okay? And different traditions will have different eschatologies. And what's important to figure out is, in what aspect do these eschatologies converge, okay?
Starting point is 00:18:41 Converge, meaning a union of these eschatologies. And why is that important? Because it allows you to predict how they will behave. Think of a story as the operating system of a society. And as such, it's a script that they will act out. And if you're able to figure out the different scripts and see how they converge together, where the union of these different scripts are,
Starting point is 00:19:10 then you can actually predict how the world will turn out. Okay? All right. So having explained the law, I'm going to go into some theory to help us understand why this is why this works okay all right so the first thing to understand is something called the universal law of game theory okay and the universal law of game theory states this whoever wins a game is able to do this okay mass times um energy times coordination
Starting point is 00:19:58 So these are the three things you want to look at to understand how well player would do in a game. So mass is just the number of people involved on the team. Energy is just how much attention, focus, motivation there is. So think of it as attention or motivation or action, okay? Any of these words will do. But basically, how invested are you in winning the game? And how hard are you willing to work to win the game? And coordination is just the idea of synchronicity.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And what I mean by that is how well do the teammates work together. Okay? And something that you need to appreciate is that the most important thing in one and winning a game is actually coordination. In fact, I would say it's four times more important than just mass. So you can have a lot of people, but if they don't work well together,
Starting point is 00:21:10 you're defeated by another team with few people, but they work well together, okay? And then energy is twice as important as mass. So let me give an example. Let's just say that you're playing a game by yourself. Maybe, maybe for example, you enter a ping pong competition. or chess competition.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Well, mass and coordination don't really matter because you don't have any teammates. And so what matters is energy, how motivated you are to win this game. How much time do you put in practice? How much time do you put into studying and improving yourself? How much focus are you in winning? Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:49 All right, so a team sport, well, mass is constant. And so what matters is energy and coronation, how well the team works. works well together. Now, what's interesting is that there are different ways to improve or increase, augment the energy coordination. So maybe a leader, okay? So maybe if someone is a really inspired leader,
Starting point is 00:22:25 that will make people much more motivated, and that will allow them to work well together. because all they have to do is listen to a leader. Okay? The problem with the leader, of course, is that eventually he will die. All right? Then you have a family, okay, blood. Okay?
Starting point is 00:22:46 They work well together because they all share similar blood. But we cannot account for the differences within this family, okay? The conflict within this family. So historically, in a long term, the force that allows, teams to beat other teams is the idea of narrative. Okay, narrative. Or a story. Okay, why?
Starting point is 00:23:16 Because it implants in the minds of all those who believe in the narrative a series of actions that they must take in order to win the game, okay? So think of it as a script. And in a script, you know what part you play, So you just have to act it out. And it allows for you all to work together to achieve the outcome that you desire.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Okay? Does that make sense? Okay. And in narrative, the most powerful form of narrative is the idea of eschatology. Because eschatology is a complete script. A complete script in which everyone knows what he or she must do. in order to achieve the desired outcome. And eschatology also is able to transcend
Starting point is 00:24:14 both time and space, meaning that you can actually spend centuries acting up the script because everyone knows his role anyway, okay? And it can transcend borders as well. You can go beyond ethnic identity and family, okay? So the most powerful mechanism in history is eschatology. So what is eschatology?
Starting point is 00:24:43 All right, so most religions are similar. Most religions require you to be a good person. Be humble, be kind, be generous. But there are certain aspects of religions that are extreme, okay? And we can call them eschatologies. So the classic example is a joyous. is a Jewish religion. In a Jewish religion, what you believe is that you no longer live in Israel
Starting point is 00:25:24 because a long time ago, the Israelites pissed off God by disobeying him. God told the Israelites do not worship false idols. But the Israelites sinned, they disobeyed, so they were kicked out of Jerusalem. And they were forced to wander the earth in the diaspora for centuries. And so what they believe is that they each need to engage in an act of redemption, of humility, of submission, of piety to God if they are to redeem the whole Jewish people. And when that happens, when they recognize their own limitations, when they recognize how inferior they are to God and submit to God, then God will send the Messiah to redeem them and leave them.
Starting point is 00:26:16 lead them back to Jerusalem, defeat the enemies of the Jews, bring all the Jews from the Daeshire back to Jerusalem, unify the Jewish people, and then build the third temple so that God can come to earth and live with all the Jews and create heaven and earth. That is the Jewish religion that most Jewish believe. There are a lot of differences, okay, but I'm just sort of simplify it for clarity.
Starting point is 00:26:46 okay. But then you have these extremes fanatics who have a different eschatology, okay? And these people we're going to say our accelerationists. And their point is that this is fine, but it's way too slow. And it dissolves us of individual responsibility. If you have faith in God, then you should want to hurry things up and force the return of God as soon as possible. And you do that by recognizing that if you actually, before the Messiah comes, if you actually go and create the nations of Israel,
Starting point is 00:27:35 bring all the Jews back, build the third temple, defeat all the enemies, then the Messiah will come naturally. Okay? And so, of course, most use hear this and they think that this is blasphemy, it's heresy. Because if you are defying the will of God, you think you can manipulate God into action, that is wrong. That is the opposite of redemption. That is the worst possible sin you can make. Okay? And so this eschatology
Starting point is 00:28:06 is considered a fringe, an extreme, something to be ignored. The problem, though, is that if you think about it, what an eschatology really is doing is creating a vector to force the religion to move in a certain direction. Okay? And also, if you think about it, if this is the case where ecotology is a vector that forces the mainstream to move in a certain direction, then whichever eschatology is the most extreme, the most violent, will be the one that wins out. Okay? Does that make sense? In other words, what we're going to do today is look at the most extreme versions
Starting point is 00:28:58 of different eschatologies. Because quite honestly, even though these extreme versions are shared by only a few people, You're the ones who are working the hardest to achieve their eschatology and therefore they're forcing the religion they are in to move a certain way. Okay? All right. So you hear this and you think this is all confusing. But what I'm going to do now is I'm going to share with you a passage from a biography of
Starting point is 00:29:31 Rabbi Nassneros. Remember we had a look at Rabbi Snerosyn talking to Natalie Allen and saying, hurry up. Let's hurry up the return of my Ziam. Okay? He is in charge of Shabbat Lubavich, which again is an extreme eschatology. But again, because they are so extreme, they're willing to work as hard as possible
Starting point is 00:29:57 to achieve their vision, and therefore they are forcing the Jewish mainstream in a certain direction. Okay? All right, so this is a biography of Rabbi Snirsson. And the Shabbat Lubavich movement was founded in modern day Belarus. And over time, it went over to America,
Starting point is 00:30:23 because it suffered a lot of persecution by the Russians. And today, they are a global movement. And they are powerful in Russia, in America, and in Israel. Okay, so we will discuss Shabbat Lubavich as we move along, but I want to with this passage show you how coordination among eschatologists work, okay? All right? So the year is 1939. And the Nazis, Nazi Germany, again, who are anti-Semitic, they hate Jews,
Starting point is 00:30:59 they want all Jews out of Europe, they are overriding Europe. And by 1939, they have conquered Poland. Warsaw. Okay. Now Poland Warsong is where the head rabbi, the Rebbe, of the Shabbat Lubavich movement is, and his name is Yosef Yetzat, okay? And he's the father-in-law of Rabbi Snirsen. And he's an old man and he's in Warsaw, and the Nazis are overrun the city. So his followers in America are Want to save his life, okay So the other question of him is like, but how do you do that?
Starting point is 00:31:43 Because America and Germany are not best friends The war is bringing out in Europe and Yosev Yiewicz is a very old man and there are no plane Well, there are planes, but there are no commercial air flights that you can take, okay? So it's going to be a very long, arduous journey across many borders. Plus, he will need a visa, not just for himself, but for his whole family.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Okay? Now what I will show you is how powerful these people are. And again, this is the eschatology where they all share similar vision and therefore they're willing to make the necessary sacrifices in order to help each other achieve this vision, okay? So this is from the biography. In Ocean Way in America, Yosef Yitz followers were
Starting point is 00:32:36 mounting a rescue effort. With the help of St. Kramer, an orthodox attorney and a son of Lubbredger immigrants, the Shabbat activist Israel Jekism, hired Max Rode, a political-connected lawyer to secure American visas for Yosef Yitz and his family.
Starting point is 00:32:52 So in other words, even though there may not be that many followers, they have a wide political circle. And a lot of reason why is that they pool their resources together. And when they pull the resources together, they're able to invest in real estate together, they're able to invest in business together, and they're able to generate a lot of money, which they can then use influence politics in America.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Okay, they can buy up politicians, they can do a lot of things. Okay, so the first part is easy. Getting visas for the rabbi and his family. Now the problem is how do you actually get to him, okay? Because there are no telephones, there's no internet, there are no airplanes. How do you find him in when there's a war going on in Poland, when there are Nazis everywhere? Okay, all right, let's continue. Yosef Iwitz followers also reached out to Attorney General Benjamin Cohen, okay?
Starting point is 00:33:53 And Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. This man is very important. He is what I call Sabatine Frankis. What I will show you later on is that 17 Frankis and the Shabbat-Lubitz movement are very much a lie. So even though not part of the same movement, they are sympathetic towards each other. And he's the most powerful Jew in America at this time, okay, in the 1930s, 40s, whom Yosewitt had met during his fundraising trip of 1929. The Lubavid's efforts in America were successful, all right? So they've won over the Americans.
Starting point is 00:34:27 They won over the entire American political political. apparatus and they are dedicated to helping the rabbi escape Europe and come to America. All right. Now the second part is how do you deal with the Nazis? Okay the Lubbiz's efforts in America were successful. On October 2nd Cohen wrote to Robert Pell, a senior official in the State Department asking for help. The next day Pell Connett HALMouth Wadhat, a German and a member of the Nazi party, a Nazi, who specialized in national industry and economics to see if he would be willing to save one of the leading Jewish scholars in the world. Okay?
Starting point is 00:35:04 This is a guy American who ran into a Nazi and saying, Hey man, I know you're a Nazi, but we need your help to save a Jew. And the guy says, yes. Okay? Wohat was strategically chosen. He had studied at Columbia University in the early 1930s and had forged a relationship with Pell after the EBM conference on Jewish refugees in 1938. Seeing an opportunity to curry goodwill the United States,
Starting point is 00:35:30 Wall had secretly caught at Admiral William Canteras, the head of German military intelligence. Wow! The head of German military intelligence. And saying, hey man, let's help this guy. Canaris, a skeptical Nazi who disapproved of SS atrocities and thought the invasion of Poland mistake, enlisted major Ernst Block, a distinguished veteran of,
Starting point is 00:36:00 World War I and one of the most trusted officers. Bloch was a Michelin. Okay, a Michelin just means a German who had some Jewish ancestry, but because he was so valorous in World War I, he was considered a German, okay? He had been declared of German blood by Hitler in 1939. Along with three other soldiers, two of whom were also Michelin, Blach was instructed to find Yosef Yitzat and bring him to safety. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:29 The Nazis, okay? dispatch their own soldiers to find this guy and bring him to America. And this is, again, during war. But how do you find this guy? Block and his colleagues had to maneuver through the ruins of Warsaw without some of the suspicions of the SS to find a rabbi who did not know of their mission and did not want to be found. Okay, so this rabbi is hiding forever everyone.
Starting point is 00:36:56 So how do you find this guy? And he's deadly afraid of all German soldiers because he sees them as just Nazis. This is another problem. Well, Jews in the city were naturally unwilling to divulge the location of a Hasidic leader to a Nazi officer. Eventually, the information came from the Americans. Brandeis was in form of Yosef Yerbett's address
Starting point is 00:37:15 by the Shabbat lawyer Arthur Rubbermanitz and relay it via Coitaine and Pell to the U.S. charged affairs in Germany. This requires the coordination of dozens and dozens of people who are supposed to be on the opposite. side of a war, and they're working together to achieve a goal. At the end of November, Block found Yosef Yitz's apartment, and after some confusion, convinced the residents he was there to help. Once he had obtained few coupons, train tickets, and
Starting point is 00:37:49 military clearances for SS checkpoints, Block loaded Yosef Yitz and his family under truck and headed for the train station. There the family received first-class tickets and boarded a train filled with Nazi officials and soldiers. And that's how they got them out. In other words, they are able to work above the bureaucracy of different nation states in order to achieve their eschatological goal. Okay?
Starting point is 00:38:18 All right. Doesn't make sense. All right. So now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go into the idea of eschatological convergence. Because once we know the different eschatologies and we know how they convert together we can actually make certain predictions about how this war will progress okay so the first major
Starting point is 00:38:43 eschatology I want to look at it's called Zoroastrianism and this is the first eschatology and it's it's it's a eschatology of the Persian Empire okay and this is it's a tautology is very simple in the world there's truth and the lie, okay? The light and the darkness. And it is our responsibility as humans to live for the light, to die for the truth against the lie.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And at the end of days, there'll be a final battle and a day of judgment, okay? So light versus dark, and then you have a day of judgment. Okay, where the god, a horror master, will come down and he will create a paradise for everyone. So what matters is to live a noble life and await the day of judgment where eventually heaven on earth will manifest. Okay. And this is important because if you think about how the Iranians are fighting this war, the Iranians refuse to take the initiative and destroy too much.
Starting point is 00:40:01 They refuse to be the villains in this war because for them, in their eschatology, it's important to, die for the light, to fight for the truth, okay? Now, the Jewish nationalism has a major impact on Jewish eschatology. And Jewish esotology, again, I'm only talking about the most extreme version of this esotology, okay? And in this eschatology, the idea is that the Jews disobeyed God, okay? Disobedience. And in order to repair the world, to save themselves, to great heaven on earth, they need to
Starting point is 00:40:47 engage in redemption. Redemption. And redemption is really about spiritual alchemy, improving yourself as a person, being good to yourself, being good to other, loving your neighbor as though you would love yourself. That's a mainstream idea. But in the most extreme version, redemption just means acting out God's plan to compel the return of Messiah. This plan is basically create Israel, return Jewish diaspora, build third temple, and this will lots of them call the War of Gog and Magog. And then when the Jews are most threatened, the Messiah will come to save them.
Starting point is 00:41:48 from their enemies. And this will create something called the Mesic ending age, when God rules over the earth through his Messiah, who comes from the house of David. Okay, all right. So again, this is a simple version.
Starting point is 00:42:04 There are lots of different versions. This is the most simple version for our purposes. Okay? Now, what's interesting is that Jewish eschatology, we go on to influence the Protestants.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Okay? And this creates a movement called Christian Zionism. Christian Zionism, so the technical word for Christian Zionism is called pre-millennial dispensationalism. And this sounds very complicated, but it's not. All it means is that God has a plan for how to create heaven and earth. And we have a duty to fulfill his plan by following his instructions. Okay. All right. So what Christian Zionism is doing is that it takes this Jewish eschatology and makes certain changes to it. Okay. So for example, the first change that it makes is, okay, this plan is fine, but rather than say that the Jewish Messiah is the representative of God, what they say is that no, he's actually the representative of Satan. Okay. So the Messiah, um, in a Jewish Messiah, um, in a Jewish Messiah, it's the representative of God. What they say is that no, he's actually the representative of Satan. Okay. So the Messiah, um, in the Jewish, tradition becomes the Antichrist in the Christian Zionism. And why is this important?
Starting point is 00:43:35 It's important because for the Christians the Messiah must be Jesus. Okay? So the Messiah, so the Antichrist, what he does is that he rules over the world. He's very charismatic and he rules the world in Jerusalem. And he starts the war of God, war of Gog and in order to conquer the world and destroy the Jews. At this point, Jesus will return to save God's children people, the Jews. And when Jesus returns, there'll be something called the rapture where all Christians will immediately ascend to heaven.
Starting point is 00:44:17 So the rapture. All right, okay? So again, Christian Zionism is working off Jewish eschatology. but it's making some important changes. So another thing is, in the beginning, Zionists and Christian Zionists will work together to reach a certain point of history, what we call the Great Orsiochial Project,
Starting point is 00:44:44 but then they will diverge and fight against each other, okay? So they're allies now, but eventually they'll turn against each other. All right, so now I'm going to talk about the Freemasons. because the Freemasons, we'll talk more of the Freemasons later, okay? The Freemasons are also working within the Christian Zionist context, but they are much more focused on actually how to implement this, okay? So what they want to do is they want to take the Antichrist and turn it into a system. And this system, we discussed last semester, it's called Pax Judaica.
Starting point is 00:45:27 What is Pact Judeica? Pact Judeica is that Israel controls the world through AI, an AI surveillance state. Okay? Or their exact words is holy empire. Okay. And Pax Judeica, the Aesivian state, while things such as the mark of the beast. And what is the mark of the beast? It is digital ID.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Okay. And this digital ID will also lead to digital currency. And they can actually put a microchip or a QR bar in your forehead. And this will be considered a mark of the beast. And it's all part of the Christian Zionist exotology. Another really important thing about the free basins is the idea of a one world government. Because remember, the Antichrist is the leader of a one world government. And it will be based in Jerusalem, okay?
Starting point is 00:46:41 And so the headquarters will be Solomon's Temple or the third temple. Right. Okay. So these are the, and then you have the Islamic eschatology. Okay? And the Islamic eschatology is a response to all these other eschatologies, where they say that when the system is created, it will be called Dajal, the Antichrist, okay?
Starting point is 00:47:10 And when this happens, then Jesus will be termed, to defeat the anti-Christ. Okay, that's the mainstream Islamic eschatology. Then you have the Shia, okay? The Shia, remember, are the Iranians? Where they believe that it's not, it will be the 12th imam madide who will lead the followers, okay,
Starting point is 00:47:39 the Umra. Okay, Umba just means community of followers. believers into victory against the antichrist, the Dajal, okay? So you can see how these eschatologists are basically lining up together, right? The Shia are the Iranians. The Islamic is the entire Arab world. Now, there are other two more eschatologies I want to look at. And again, I know this is a lot.
Starting point is 00:48:06 I know this is too much information, and we'll go over these eschatologies specifically as we move along, okay? But I just want to introduce the different eschatologies. Another eschatology that's very important is the Catholic eschatology. And the Catholic eschatology, we can call city of God, which is the church, which is Jerusalem. And St. Augustine talks about this, about how the Catholic Church, it is the millennium. It is the Mediterranean Age, because we represent God. and we bring peace and prosperity to the world. Now, what's important about the church is that
Starting point is 00:48:48 it became the dominant power in the world because Rome fell. Okay? So Roman Empire collapses. But this is all part of God's divine plan because Roman Empire, Rome, was the city of earth, okay, of power, of money, of wealth. And what matters is Jerusalem, the city of God, of spirituality.
Starting point is 00:49:16 of divinity, okay? Now, the city of God came in the end because of the rise of the Protestants and the Anglo-American Empire. So for the Catholic Church to achieve its eschatology and establish again the city of God, what they need to do is also see the Anglo-American Empire destroyed just like the Roman Empire.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Okay? So that is the Catholic eschatology. The last eschatology, I want to discuss is the orthodox eschatology. And what's the orthodox exotology? The Russians. This is called the third Rome prophecy. Okay?
Starting point is 00:50:11 The third Rome prophecy is basically that Moscow will become the third Rome. The first Rome was Rome. Second Rome was Consentepo. The third Rome will be Moscow. And also what's really important to appreciate is that there will be no fourth Rome. So when Moscow becomes a third Rome, history ends. And peace and prosperity will come to the world.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Okay, so what does this mean? It means that Russia will unite the Orthodox world. Okay, so right now the Orthodox world is split into Eastern Orthodoxy and Greek Orthodoxy. Okay? And something that is very important that this prophecy says is that the Russians will defeat Turkey in a war and then have the Greeks return to Kassanapal, which is Marenday Istanbul. Okay, that's what the prophecy says. And so you look at all these different eschatologies, okay? And again, guys, this is the majority of the world, right? If you actually look at the convergence points, you come to some startling conclusions, okay?
Starting point is 00:51:28 So let's look at the convergence. Where do they converge? Well, first of all, okay? Where they converge is that the greater Israel project will be achieved, okay? Pax-Judeca will be achieved. It's the one world government, okay? one world government.
Starting point is 00:52:00 That is one major convergence. If that's true, then another convergence is the L-XIC mosque will give way to the third temple. All these eschatologies either say this or are indifferent to saying this, okay? They're not opposed to this, all right? So that's why I predict the third, the L-XA-Moss will be destroyed
Starting point is 00:52:24 because they need to build a third temple. Another thing in which, in which they converge is the rise of anti-Semitism. Why? Because that will force the diaspora, the Jewish diaspora, to return to Israel. This is very important for this eschatology, okay? Another important conversion point
Starting point is 00:52:50 is the war of Gog and Magog. We don't actually know what this is, But this war is supposed to be the final war before the return of God, before the end of history, before the end of the world. Okay? What this war is, we don't know yet. But another thing in this is that this war in Iran will lead to the war of Gog and Mahog at some point. Okay?
Starting point is 00:53:18 What this war is, we'll discuss at a later time. Another thing that's very important is U.S. and China are not. not part of this eschatology. Okay? This is where everyone agrees. For whatever reason, the United States is not going to partake in future events. Neither will China. Which means that something will happen in these two countries that will make them not significant anymore.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Okay? And the best prediction for the United States then is civil war, right? Civil War. And this is where all these eschatologies converge. So in other words, this foreign Iran is happening so that these different eschatological tradition
Starting point is 00:54:14 can achieve heaven and earth from their perspective. So given this convergence, we can actually predict certain events that will happen over the next two to four years. Okay?
Starting point is 00:54:31 Because they all want these things to happen together. All right? So let's look at some quick predictions. First prediction, of course, is that the U.S. will use ground troops. Because using ground troops will create a national draft. And what does a national draft do? It creates a civil war. Right?
Starting point is 00:54:59 A lot of young people are going to refuse to fight in this war. And this is going to create protests. Then America will have no choice but to deploy the National Guard. And this will create the recipe for a lot of civil conflict in America. Okay? Another thing that will happen is because you use ground troops, you will lose the war and then CENTCOM, which is the American military in Middle East, will then transfer over to Israel.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Okay? What's happening in this war is that the economies of the GCC, are being destroyed and that's part of the plan okay because for Israel to achieve the greater Israel project it needs to absorb the GCC and parts of Turkey and parts of Egypt okay so another thing this is that the GCC is basically finished the intention is to collapse their economies and make them irrelevant right the third thing we can expect is that Turkey will enter this war and Saudi Arabia actually will enter the war because you want to use this war to weaken opposition to these eschatologies as much as possible
Starting point is 00:56:16 okay so takea and satir will enter this war and they will suffer tremendously because of their participation all right um again the alexat mosque will be destroyed okay and then you have the rise of persia the rise of persia why is this important because You need this adult world to unite against Israel for the end of days. Right? So you don't mind if actually Iran wins this war because by win this war, Iran will activate its Persian identity. And this is important for eschatology because in the war of Gog and Magog, people are interpreting Gog and Magog, which will march against Israel.
Starting point is 00:57:09 They're interpreting Gogamag to be Persia and Russia. Together they will march against Paxe-Judeica. Number six is that in Israel you will achieve the Pax-Judeica and the Greater Israel Project. So the Greater-Issal project and Pax-Judeca are not the same thing, guys. Greater Israel is basically the territory that the Israelis believed that God have promised their ancestor, Abraham. Pax-Judeica is a one-world goal. government based on AI surveillance and the market of the bees.
Starting point is 00:57:52 So what will happen is that Israel will use this war to expand its territory and then what will happen is that capital technology will then start to flow to Israel in order to create the great Pact Shudaka. So think of companies like Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft, Google. Will they probably transfer themselves to Israel? that is where the power will rest. Okay? So Pax, Juteica.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Then you will have Russia winning a war in Ukraine. Okay? And then return Greeks to Constantinople. Basically, I know we're saying this is it is possible that the Greeks go to war against Turkey
Starting point is 00:58:51 and then Russia supports the Greeks and return the Greeks to Istanbul. Okay? But then you're like, wait a minute. Turkey is a NATO member. Well, we can also expect destruction of Europe. Okay? The end of NATO, basically. So, this war in Ukraine,
Starting point is 00:59:17 it's not just about Russia protecting its borders. This war in Ukraine is also meant to achieve orthodox eschatology, to destroy Europe, to destroy NATO, so that Russia can achieve the third Rome prophecy. That means the destruction of Europe. So I would discuss the Russian-Ukraine war later on as we go along, okay? But what I'm trying to show you is that just by, okay, analyzing the most extreme eschatologies of different religious traditions you can
Starting point is 00:59:51 then from this analysis pick out points in which they agree okay and at these points you can figure out then how they will affect current geopolitics to make certain predictions about how the war will progress but how the world will transform itself in next two to four years okay so this is called a law of eschatological convergence. It gives us tremendous insight into why things are turned out the way they are. Okay? Because again, I can't understand saying this, but purely from a political perspective, purely from a real politic perspective, this war in Iran makes no sense. But if you look at it from an eschatological perspective, then it makes perfect sense. Okay? Any questions? Yes. But I think like if we look into the war between America and Iran, I think Trump is trying to destroy Iran as the same way that he destroys Venezuela, but it fails, which let Iran to fight back.
Starting point is 01:01:09 So I think this could also explain in a political way, but not religious. Okay. All right. That's a great point in that, listen, there's an explanation, which is that Trump is just stupid, he's arrogant. They had too much success in Venezuela. They go into Iran and they think it's the same thing. And now they're losing, okay? And because they're losing, they are just panicking.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Okay, that's true. And if this explanation is true, then what will happen, what we can expect to happen is that Trump declares victory and goes home. Okay, that's what we can expect. And if the US does go home, then you're right. Okay, so we can expect, but sorry, the question then is what happens next few months. All right. What you understand is this. War is that simple.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Once you start a war, you can't end the war. All right, so let me explain really quickly why, okay? So you have Iran, and the main advantage that Iran has over the United States is the GCC cannot defend itself, okay, because it's just a desert. And Iran is a mountain fortress, so it can shoot rockets, it can shoot drones at the GCC. And the GCC can't defend itself, okay? Before they thought these U.S. bases could defend against Iran, but now you recognize these U.S. bases can't defend themselves either, okay? All right, so the other thing that Iran did was close to all the straight-ful moves.
Starting point is 01:02:56 Okay, close off the straight-ful moves. And this is important because the GCC then exports oil to Asia and gets back food, okay? So the GCC basically requires a certain-for-moose in order just to survive. Okay? Now, let's just say that US, Donald Trump's like, you know what, screw this.
Starting point is 01:03:20 This is a stupid war, middle state is stupid, we're gonna go home, okay? What happens now? What happens is that Iran says to GCC, hey man, you attacked us. You destroyed our infrastructure, you destroyed our economy, you have to pay a compensation, okay?
Starting point is 01:03:40 Right? Also, hey man, now we control the strength of home moves, so if you want to use central moves, you have to pay us a toll. You have to pay as a tax. So all this money of the GCC before it's going to the United States to fuel the US economy, now where does it go? It goes to Iran, right?
Starting point is 01:04:02 That's a lot of money, man. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars. And what will Iran use with this money? It will use its money, this money to repair its economy. So in five, 10 years, this is going to be an economic miracle, where now Iran is able to industrialize. really fast. And as a result, what's going to happen?
Starting point is 01:04:26 What's going to happen is that if the United States leaves the Middle East, Iran becomes the superpower and controls the entire Middle East. Right? Now, Israel has nuclear weapons. And so what's going to happen is that Israel and Iran will sign a peace treaty. Okay?
Starting point is 01:04:46 But the United States won't be involved. The United States goes home. It doesn't get anybody from the United States. GCC, what's going to happen to the US economy? It's going to collapse. Why? Because the entire US economy is based on the stock market, on finance, on AI, on investment from the GCC, right? So the question then is, can the Americans go home? The answer is no, they can. Because if they go home, the economy's going to collapse and the people are going to have a revolution anyway. So you're better off sending people to Iran
Starting point is 01:05:18 than half the people in America cause a revolution. Right? Okay? So you're right in that it's possible that Donald Trump made a mistake but doesn't matter if it was intentional or accidental. You have the same outcome. And strangely enough, this outcome that you have matches that, aligns with these different eschatologies in the world. Okay, does that make sense?
Starting point is 01:05:45 Okay. All right. Any more questions? All right, okay. So we'll continue this next week, guys, okay?
