This is a message with Pastor Hibbs about current events and the whole situation in the Middle East involving Iran and China and their new system that allowed the successful attacks on the US interests in the Middle East.

The part about China and their new system starts at the 39 minute mark.

Video is 1:12 minutes long

This really could have been put in News/Activism, but I wasn’t sure if the mods would have let it stay there considering it was a church service message.

We are in a very precarious position as a country now and need much prayer.

I’m having a Hebrew National all-beef hot dog with yellow mustard and sauerkraut on a keto hotdog roll for dinner. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

[BipolarBob]

The video is a lot longer than 1.12 minutes.

[Mariner]

Where did the pastor obtain his information on the “new system”?

[TwelveOfTwenty]

So in short, the Chicoms sent Iran the weapons they used to kill our troops.

Thanks free traitors. I hope that $.10 you saved on Chicom made paintbrushes was worth what you did to this country.

[Maudeen]

Thanks so much for the link to the entire video.

[kaintucky]

The IRGC have been using BEIDOU since 2025.

[neverevergiveup]

When I want an update on military technology I always go to church to get it.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

I’m sure both the IRGC and the Chicoms appreciate our paying for the systems.

Video Transcript Summary

"Are You Ready For What’s Next?" (Part 1) is a midweek "Applied" teaching/sermon by Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills (Real Life with Jack Hibbs), delivered around July 22, 2026. It runs about 1 hour 13 minutes and focuses on biblical prophecy as preparation rather than fear, using current world events through a scriptural lens.

Core Theme and Foundation

Hibbs opens by noting that many churches and seminaries avoid teaching biblical prophecy because it requires deep Bible knowledge. He stresses that God gave prophecy to prepare believers, not scare them (quoting the late Dr. Ed Hindson).

Key verse: John 14:29 — Jesus says, “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.” This underscores prophecy’s purpose: building faith when events unfold. He pairs it with supporting verses like Isaiah 42:9 and 46:9-10 (God declares the end from the beginning) and 2 Peter 1:19-21 (prophecy comes from the Holy Spirit, not private interpretation).

Believers should view the world through a “biblical prophecy filter” to stay steady amid chaos, rather than panicking. Hibbs emphasizes the resurrection of Jesus (sinless, so death had no hold) as the ultimate hope and encouragement. Christians alive today are not accidental; they are positioned for such a time, called to gospel witness as the world grows more unstable.

Current Events and National Context

The message was given during the U.S. lead-up to its 250th anniversary (2026). Hibbs calls for thankfulness amid blessings and celebration, warning against complacency or complaining despite national affluence. He urges viewing events biblically rather than through fear or politics.

He mentions recent (as of the talk) national and global developments that feel “unnerving,” urging a steady, prepared response.

Major Prophetic Focus: Ezekiel 38 (Gog and Magog Invasion)

A large portion of the teaching covers Ezekiel 38 as a key “latter years” prophecy. Hibbs reads and explains it verse-by-verse:

• Gog — A political/military leader (title, not a name) from the land of Magog (regions north of the Caucasus, associated with modern Russia/southern Russia areas).
• Allies — Persia (Iran), Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer and Togarmah (regions including Turkey/Syria areas) — notably all Muslim-majority in modern times.

God will put “hooks in the jaws” of Gog and turn him around to lead a coalition against a regathered, restored Israel (formerly desolate, brought back from many nations). This invasion happens in the “latter years” against a people living securely in the land.

Hibbs highlights the ancient prophecy’s alignment with modern geopolitics (e.g., Islamic nations coalescing against Israel) as evidence of reliability. He encourages studying the full Bible for context and notes that prophecy confirms God’s sovereignty.Practical Takeaways and Encouragement

• Preparation over fear: Study prophecy to be ready and to strengthen faith.
• Witness in turbulent times: As the world destabilizes, Christians should shine as lights with the gospel.
• Eternal perspective: Anchor in Christ’s finished work (cross and resurrection). Live obediently and thankfully.
• Action: Download notes (QR code or site), read Scripture, and apply a biblical worldview.
• The talk positions this as an “update/briefing” on the times, part of an ongoing “Applied” series.

Overall, the message is hopeful and equipping. It mixes teaching on God’s character, detailed prophecy exposition (especially Russia-Iran-Turkey aligned coalition vs. Israel), current-event awareness, and a call to personal readiness and evangelism. It’s typical of Hibbs’ style: conversational, Scripture-heavy, and directly tying Bible to today’s headlines without date-setting.

A Part 2 or continuation likely follows in the series. For the full experience, watch the video or listen to the audio on the Calvary Chapel Chino Hills site.

Israel has two new red heifers. Thousands of Jews rushed the Temple Mount. They want their third temple.

Good evening Metmom and THANK YOU for faithfully sharing these links. This message last Wednesday was a eye opener!!

... and yes it is very timely BIBLICALLY...

One would not expect such information coming from a pulpit but God is using CCCH in a most unusual way to spread the Gospel as well as giving us pertinent up to date info on what is happening in our world!!

P.S. Pastor is on Fox News Los Angeles regularly with Trace Gallagher.

By the Way Hibbs was trying to explain how he went from Post Trib to Pre Trib Rapture and blamed Keith Green for his earlier fall into Post Tribulation, He seemed very unhappy about it !

Thanks for posting that link.

I have wondered why the US did not make Iran a No Fly Zone when the war started.

As such, China is war testing their new system.

[Maudeen]

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, UNLESS the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.

[ducttape45]

Keith Green had some great songs, but he was way off course scripturally on many things.

[metmom]

I don’t know but he did say one could google it up.

[metmom]

Yup. And people STILL buy from China.

Although, I also realize that sometimes there is no choice.

Thanks to our traitorous politicians.

[metmom]

Thank you!

I was unaware of this option.
