Do angels exist? Are healing miracles real? Is there life after death? Can people get supernatural help from another dimension? Has the future been written in advance? Sid Roth had spent twenty-five years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid on this edition of “It’s Supernatural.”
SID: Hello, Sid Roth here, welcome to my world where it is naturally supernatural. My guest John McTernan has researched facts that will absolutely amaze you. I can almost hear some of you saying, “Amazing.” The worst disasters to hit the United States of America were directly connected with what the United States did with the nation Israel. John, when did you first come into this revelation? I mean it is like within 24 hours sometimes these judgments occur.
JOHN: Yes Sid, yeah I first saw it with Israel in August of 1992 with Hurricane Andrew. And on the front page of the papers was all the destruction of Hurricane Andrew and right there was the Madrid Peace Process being transferred from Israel to the United States for the first time. So if you can picture this, Hurricane Andrew ran through southern Florida early in the morning, about 6 a.m. it had finished. At 10 a.m. the Madrid Peace Process met in Washington for the first time and the purpose of the Madrid Peace
Process was to carve up Israel, to force Israel to give away God’s covenant land for peace. And that pattern goes from; actually I did a little more research before that when the Madrid Peace Process started Sid, which was October 30th of 1991 and when President Bush was giving, President Bush Sr., was giving
his speech in Madrid to start the Peace Process, his own home in Kennebunkport, Maine, was being destroyed by the perfect storms sending 30 foot waves against his home.
SID: Now can we call that a coincidence?
JOHN: Well Sid, in my – people have told me that – but in my book I have got 40 of such similar disasters, and they are not weekend thunderstorms, they are the greatest disasters in American history, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Ike, of course its in my book.
SID: But there is a flipside, and the flipside is when you are a blessing to Israel you are blessing. There is a unique history of the United States and the Jewish people in Israel; explain that.
JOHN: Sid that is the beginning of the book, I go into America is unique compared to any country in the world in blessing the Jewish people. Going back to George Washington I have quotes from George Washington that are just absolutely amazing Sid. I don’t know why we are not shouting this from the
rooftops, the church, every Christian needs to know this, but George Washington wrote letters to the Jewish
communities back in 1790 and he literally said to them that he wanted America to be like the Messianic Reign for the Jewish people, he quoted Malachi chapter four verse three and four, and in another letter he said the same God that created, that took the children of Israel from Egypt into the promised land was the same God that created the United States. Remember America was only like a couple of years old at this time and he said, and this is George Washington’s writings, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”
And George Washington said that the God of Israel is the God of the United States. And so right from our very beginning we blessed the Jewish people here in America.
SID: But historically this has been a safe haven, it is almost an unusual window of time in the history of the Jewish people, we have prospered here.
JOHN: Yes Sid.
SID: But our nation is prospering too.
JOHN: Right, and you can watch. I go by the Jewish people’s writings, and at the time of the American Revolution they say that they were the freest Jewish people in the world, and they said in fact going back to when Rome conquered Israel, they were the freest Jews and America became the freest people. You see the parallel? And then as America began to, like before the Civil War, Sid let me just catch myself on this, we know nothing really, even Jews know nothing of their own history in America. Before the Civil War, there were Jewish mayors, there were Jewish governors, there were Jewish ambassadors, it wasn’t an impediment to be a Jew in America. Now there may have been individuals that didn’t like a Jewish person, but it wasn’t an impediment. Then we come to the Civil War, Sid, there were eight Jewish generals in the United States Army. Isn’t that amazing? There were I think, six or seven medal of honor winners who were Jewish. President Lincoln specifically had a law enacted to allow Jewish chaplains. Before the Civil war there were no Jewish chaplains in the Army, he specifically had a law enacted to allow Jewish chaplains in the army.
In most countries they have laws hindering the Jewish people. Here in America we make laws specifically to bless them and having Jewish chaplains in the army. So we have got this history of blessing the Jewish people.
SID: But why does this go on thought. I mean why is it a truth that when you bless Jewish people you are blessed, when you curse Jewish people you are cursed, what is the basis of that?
JOHN: Sid it goes back to Genesis in the Bible with Abraham, and Genesis 12:3 for example, where God says speaking to Abraham, and his descendents, “I will bless them that bless you and I will curse them that curse you.” So as you bless the Jewish people a blessing comes on you individually, but in the case of America, it came on the nation.
SID: You know you revealed something that I never knew and that is the relationship between the church and the nation Israel as far as even its formation, explain that.
JOHN: Yes Sid, starting after the Civil War there was a, sort of a continuous revival in the United States; it wasn’t like maybe a spectacular gigantic revival, it was a continuous revival, and the two themes of it, well one of the major them was the second coming of the Lord, and the other part was the restoration of the Jewish people back to the Land, so there is a revival taking place and at the same time the Czar of Russia is persecuting the Jews, starting in 1881/1882, horrible persecution, pogroms were just decimating the Jewish population in Russia, and the Jewish people heard how blessed they were in America, and Sid, they literally walked west out of Russia into Germany with no idea how they were going to get here, but they were going to come to America, they called it the “Famous Land.” And individual helped these Jews leaving Germany
get to America, and America opened up its arms, and no matter how many Jews came in, came from especially Russia, we took them in. So here you have Europe, closed doors; you have Russia quote, “The Russian Orthodox Christian Church” absolutely persecuting the Jews horribly and they have to come three, four thousand miles, whatever it is to America, America opens its arms up and Sid, I document in the book where the moment we started to allow these Russian Jews to come in by mass, God raised us up as a world power.
