FaithWalk Radio

Ron Susek: Hello friends, Ron Susek here. So good to be with you today. I'm going to be talking today from Bismarck, North Dakota, where I did four sessions at New Song Church under the auspices of Pastor Chaffee. What a wonderful—he's a wonderful person. You're going to love him.

And we did four sessions and at the end of the fourth session, they opened it for questions and answers and the questions were so fantastic. I'm glad they were recorded and we're going to play them for you today and show you the answers. We're going to have a great time because we're talking about the Assyrian people and how God is raising them up and preparing them for a tremendous use under the coming Messiah. Stay with me. I'll be right back.

Guest (Male): Finding and knowing God is a faith walk. The Bible says that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Our hope lies in the coming Messiah who will establish God's peaceful kingdom on earth.

This is FaithWalk with Ron Susek. Dr. Ron is an evangelist committed to encourage and equip your faith walk as we pass through these turbulent end time days awaiting that soon-coming kingdom. Here again is Ron Susek.

Ron Susek: Any questions you want to ask me before we—yes.

Guest (Male): I just want to mention that an executive order is what Cyrus did when they returned and rebuilt Jerusalem.

Ron Susek: Well said. That's correct. He said that Cyrus wrote an executive order and that's how it happened. And in writing an executive order, I think I said this earlier this weekend, he sent them back to Jerusalem under military protection and with the largest cash gift according to one of my board members of history to rebuild the temple and the walls. That's a change of heart. Yes.

Guest (Male): We know that Assyria is in Northern Iraq, correct? How big an area are we talking about?

Ron Susek: Let me take a wild guess because no one knows for sure because they're going to have to read the League of Nations wrecked this world. They were quite a crew. And so they moved boundaries at their liking and so that messed up everything.

I would say that—I don't know if these names mean anything to you—from Nineveh down to Kirkuk, all the way up to the Hakari Mountains and down along the Turkish border. So it would be probably—let me take a wild guess—the state of Pennsylvania would be my guess, which could handle millions of people because their soil is just rich.

Guest (Male): And one last question. The Assyrians have been scattered all over the world, right? Kind of like the Jews. Scattered and God wants to bring them home. How many Assyrians might be in the United States? Any guess?

Ron Susek: Yes. There are somewhere between 500,000 and 750,000. A lot in California. Chicago is the largest pocket. Some in New Jersey. When we get beyond those three, then it'll be like a few hundred here, a few hundred there.

So I would say somewhere between 500,000 and 750,000 here in America. And there are more up in Canada.

Guest (Male): So the United States holds a lot of Assyrians, more than any other country besides—

Ron Susek: I would think so because there are not that many. There are strongholds in Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden. They're not large. From what I gather, they couldn't even afford to have me come over and speak to them.

They want that. I've done some Zoom with them and some television with them because there's not enough people to even finance my ticket over there.

Guest (Male): So are they 100 percent bloodline Assyrian or do they have a mixture?

Ron Susek: Well, it would have to be a mixture because you're always going to have intermarriage. But they do have a strong bloodline and a strong heart. You heard this couple. I mean, they know who they are and her heart was singing to be in their homeland. I can't tell you the depth of their longing to go home. And I think that's the spirit of God.

Because we move to other countries for a job and almost forget our family and forget our home country. We're not bothered by that. These people, there's something in them that they know that's where they have to be. Thanks for those questions.

Guest (Male): And for those who don't know the prophecy, Egypt, Assyria, and Israel are supposed to be the nations with a highway in between them.

Ron Susek: Yes.

Guest (Male): So when Assyria—1,900 years, they practice the same spirituality we do? I mean, did they take their spirituality in these other countries by force? Because when Jesus came, he's doing the same thing, only by the word. He's not doing it by force. And I consider that we all need to go home and God is the home.

Ron Susek: I understood your question. I wish Sabro was here to answer that better than I. I don't think they pushed their gods on the other nations. They were more of an economic blessing and they were somewhat mixed up with their own gods. But I want to go back and say what I'm looking for a way to prove it.

My evidence is more circumstantial than a statement that I can prove. I believe that from Noah all the way to this day, there has been a remnant that never left the truth of God's, of Noah's God. Because he and his sons certainly knew what God was about to build that ark with a lot of mockery for 120 years and then survive.

They knew the true and the living God. They, I'm sure, passed that on to their children. Noah's sixteen grandchildren. Asshur, I'm sure, really knew who God was. But in time, generally, it's about a 70-year period or a little longer, they begin to use their imaginations and come up with other ideas about a god.

But yet always—like God said to Elijah when Elijah was just heartsick, he was ready to give up and God said, no—because he said, I'm the only one. God said, no, there are 7,000 that have never bowed a knee to Baal. I believe there's always been that remnant in almost every nation.

And the evidence that I see on the surface of that is how would Abraham, living in the Ur of the Chaldees under Assyria—and he was Assyrian—how would he have learned to follow the true and the living God and not even know where he's going? But he trusts that God and he goes to Hebron and then on.

I think he probably was involved with that remnant who knew the truth. And also when Jonah went to Assyria, if they had no perception of the truth, they would have killed him. They would have laughed him out of the country.

But for three days, they went into fast and prayer. Because I think what happened was that Noah preached reluctantly, preached the message "repent or in 40 days you're going to be conquered." I think that remnant spread that message like a news factor out to the nation and they all came to their senses about who Jehovah was and they repented.

And that's why Jesus said, "I'm going to use them in the judgment against the higher-ups of Israel of his day." So my hunch is the only reason why his message resonated and spread throughout the country was because of that remnant. So just like here in America, we have a remnant and we have a lot of professors that are the opposite end of the spectrum.

Does that make sense to you? It only makes sense to me that that must be what happened. Which is why in coming back to God was not a great foreign paganism suddenly discovering God. They were coming back to their roots of that been taught by the remnant all through the history.

Guest (Male): You said because they served the people, when Jesus came, he taught the same thing.

Ron Susek: That's very interesting that you said that. I'm going to add that to my list. That they really were, and to this day, they serve, they give, they help. I was with one when I was speaking to Assyrians in Southern California who helped build the LA airport. The guy's a genius.

So they're very successful people. They're very productive people. They're hard-working people and they're brilliant people. And they don't hoard that for themselves. They are blessing America in many ways. So I do see traces of the spirit of God in them even back in their empire days.

And that's why I think what gripped them was not that they were barbaric, they were proud. And that's what brings down any person and any nation. Any other questions? Were you starting to raise your hand? We have to—okay.

Guest (Female): When we're talking about, was it Isaiah 19 where you said this is, at 24? Where Assyria and Israel and Egypt are coming together? Okay, I got the Assyrian part and the Egypt.

But Egypt—now I'm wondering what's the deal there with Egypt? I mean, we think of Egypt as being Egypt. We don't want to go back to Egypt. And so I'm trying to figure out what's the connection there? Or is it just that's God and that's the way it is?

Ron Susek: Well, keep in mind that Israel survived because of Egypt through a drought. Jesus was taken to Egypt to protect him from Herod. So there is a lot of biblical tie-in. And so Egypt factors in I think more than that. We are looking at a redemptive God.

There is only one nation that will never be heard of again. Which nation is that? It'll be totally wiped out. Babylon. Read the book of Revelation. Now it's not Babylon the nation necessarily. Keep in mind you go from family to city to nation and then to empire.

Babylon has gone beyond even that to become a global philosophy. And that's why when the Bible says in Revelation the global Babylon is coming down, it's not talking about little Babylon over here in Iraq.

We're talking about the whole global system where the captains of ships that are hauling human trafficking as well as goods will be crying watching the city burn because their whole industry is shot and they'll be saying—it says that they will be afar, standing way back afar.

I didn't cause it. Yes, you did. Kings will be standing afar like, "I didn't cause it." Yes, you did. Exactly, wash his hands. And so Babylon is the only word and I said this in Southern California and a woman came up to me afterward so irate she was quivering, she was so angry.

Guess what her daughter's name was? Babylonia. I'm serious. And she was trying to talk about the beauty of Babylon. Well, she was thinking back of the nation. But it became the global system.

Let me go a step further because this to me is so fascinating. You know that the king had a dream and Daniel interpreted the dream. There was a statue. The statue had a head of gold and what a flattering comment when he said "you are the head of gold." What did that tell the king of Babylon at the time? I'm the most brilliant political leader of history.

What did he do right after that? He built a golden statue and told every nation to bow down to it. I believe what he was doing—and I wish I could proof text this but it just makes sense to me—you can't have a statue that tall that can stand. Gold is not that strong. It would have caved in.

I think it was what, 91 feet and a couple of inches tall? That would be too heavy. I think he had a metal structure in there just like the Bible describes the metal structure going down to the feet of clay and he gold-plated it. What was he doing?

I think that he was saying since I'm the head of gold, I'm going to set the standard of governance for the end of the world. And you bow down to this god. And it became the world system. And that's what's going to be a total meltdown in the book of Revelation. Does that make sense? It is where we're melting down. True.

Guest (Male): Just to kind of coincide with what she's saying. Is Egypt—is there a movement going on in Egypt right now to become more of a one God, Christianity? You said that with Iran. I'm just wondering if that movement is happening in Egypt and in Iran.

Ron Susek: Not in Iraq yet. But in Iran, yes. I don't know about Egypt. I spoke in an Egyptian church, a huge church, about a year ago in Canada. And the father was going to actually have someone fly my book to their pope.

Do you know that the Orthodox Church is larger than the Roman Catholic Church? Why you don't know that? Because they don't let the history come west. But the fact of the matter is it's much larger.

And here's something you may not know, but you read in your newspapers about a decade ago that Saint Mark's Cathedral in Cairo came under attack. Does anybody remember that? Saint Mark's Cathedral is the Vatican of that whole Orthodox belief system.

And their pope, they wanted me to meet with their pope and I want to meet with him. And we're still working on it. Because over some little theological item, he believes the Assyrians are heretics and won't even serve them communion. What a breakdown in the body of Christ.

So a lot has to happen in Egypt spiritually, but they do have a lot of godly people there. And again, it's only 10 percent. And I shared with you the story yesterday morning about the boy that was killed for having the cross tattooed on him. That's not uncommon.

In Egypt, families have to be very careful sending their girls to school because they'll be abducted and sold into sex slavery. They'll never find them again. So the church in Egypt is really under fire.

And I think how God's going to deal with Egypt is found in the same chapter as our prophecy. In the first 22 verses, it's not a pretty picture. But God's going to bring them to their knees and I don't know whether he's going to pull Islam out or whether there'll be a great conversion.

But I think we'll be seeing that possibly shortly after we get Assyria home and the believers there now see an established Christian nation and the church worldwide is now awakened to this whole story. I think the pressure will come on Egypt in an amazing way. That's theory but it makes sense to me. Thank you, these are great questions.

Guest (Male): Any other questions? So if you want to come up and say hi to Ron or take a picture with him or something, you're welcome to do that. We're out of books. Yes, one more question. Yell it out and then I'll repeat it for the camera.

Guest (Female): Okay, you wanted a prayer—a prayer team for the Assyrians. Can you send us like points, PowerPoints that we can pray? Did you fill out the card?

Ron Susek: Anyone who—yes. Yes. And then fill that out and give it to him. I will be informing—there are going to be two levels of prayer. Level number one is we will and do send out things to be praying about.

But there are sensitive areas where we cannot afford to release information. If you're that person that you're saying, Ron, I'm called to intercede, and I will tell you I won't even tell my husband or wife how we're praying, I'll be glad to have you in that Zoom circle.

But you've got to really be committed for the sake of the cause not to throw it out calling a friend with exciting news. Because a friend knows a friend and a friend—and they'll promise you, I won't tell anyone. But when they hang up, they think of a friend that needs to hear this. You know how it goes.

So am I clear? If you want us to be in our prayer team, that'd be wonderful. And if you want to be in the general prayer team, that'll be great. We have prayer once a month with our organization.

We have people on from Africa and different parts of the world and we keep it to one hour because the people in Africa, it's two and three in the morning for them. So we're not long. But we just need you.

And yes, I will be keeping this man informed. And so if as a church you remember these things, I hope that somehow the spirit of God has burned a fire in you and this is not a "now I lay me down to sleep" kind of prayer.

But you're now feeling the weight of this that these are your brothers and sisters in Christ. This is God's will and his purpose and where he's moving. This is our opportunity to move it as far as the Assyrian resolution and then next we would—I or whoever's going to follow me move into Egypt because Egypt's got to come along and have the move of God.

So there's a ball rolling and I don't know if it's going to take one year or 10 years or 50 years. That's up to God. Okay. I can go to bed now? Well, again, thank you.

Guest (Male): Thank you. Well, let's pray for Ron and this whole thing. How many of you over the last however many years prayed for Israel? And why did we pray for Israel? Somewhere, somehow there was a stirring in the earth that we need to somehow pray for Israel and especially pre-1948.

And then when it became a nation and then the 1967 war and all, Israel, Israel, Israel and still to this day, Israel is God's inheritance according to Isaiah 19. But we got Egypt and Assyria. Those three little nations, and they're little.

That's something that God is—I think he's trying to wake up us Gentile Christians to see beyond our own nose and beyond our own life. If you haven't read the book of Haggai, go read the two chapters of the book of Haggai.

Because in the book of Haggai, the Christians or the followers, they were all busy building their houses and building their lives and everything was great and the temple was in ruins. And Haggai was like, we gotta fix the church here, we gotta fix the temple.

And I think God is saying that same thing to the church in the world. Saying don't forget what I said. Because how many are glad Jesus doesn't go back on his word? Where would we be if Jesus said, "ah, maybe my blood's not for you, you're out"?

No, he keeps his word to us and he's going to keep his word to Egypt. We already seen it in Israel and we're going to see it with Assyria. So we want to just with our prayer times that we do on Sunday mornings every five, six weeks, we're going to add them to the list.

Our Wednesday night prayer meetings, we're going to just add Assyria and Egypt along with Israel and that highway that's got to be built. What an incredible—and you said a third of the highway's already built? It's incredible to—we're living in unbelievable times. Doesn't surprise God. Surprises us sometimes, shouldn't.

And that's hopefully where we're headed is to just walk in the spirit and what he's got in store for us individually and for the world. So let's pray. You guys extend your hand and we'll pray for Ron here. God, we're just grateful for Ron and what you've done in his heart, in his life.

Lord, just like you've done something very unique in him, you want to do it in all of us. You created us for something specific. And we want to pray for Ron and Diane and his team and for all the appointments that you have aligned up for him that are supernatural for the people that he hasn't met yet, for the network that you're developing across the world to just like we see in Israel become a nation, to see Assyria become a nation again.

And then that road to be finished and ultimately you to come back to earth. And we don't know when that's going to be but we want to be ready. And so Lord we just pray for the prophetic testimony of Jesus and his word to be in our lips, to be in our hearts, to be in our culture.

Lord we just pray that we will continually unite together in prayer to see your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. So we pray for Ron and his family's ministry for supernatural provision, protection, favor and health. Lord, and we don't want to ever miss.

If you're here watching this or if you're here and you're like, you know with some of the stuff Ron said and about these people and in and out of the kingdom, if you're here and you're like, "You know what, I'm wayward. I don't consider myself a follower of Jesus and if I died I don't know where I'd end up."

And you want to change that. Just where you're at, we just pray. God is available, he's outstretched his hands over and over all day and he's continually doing that. If you're here and you're like, "You know, Jesus, I want what you did on the cross. You died on the cross for me.

I want your blood that you shed to cover my sins. Forgive me of my sins. I repent and I want to follow you the rest of my life. I want to be part of your business, not my own business in this life and the life to come."

If that's you just say yes, Jesus, that's me. Make me your son, make me your daughter and he will cover you in the blood of Jesus and he will lead you the rest of your life as a son or daughter of God. So we just always like to put that in our prayers.

We just never want to miss an opportunity for somebody to change kingdoms, to drive a stake in the ground and say yes to Jesus. So if that's you, let me know, let somebody know. And God, ultimately we are grateful that in all of this we can trust it to you.

Pray for a great night's sleep, great travel for Ron tomorrow and his future. We ask this in Jesus' name. And everybody agreed and said, Amen. All right, thanks you guys for coming. God bless you guys.

Guest (Male): Dr. Ron has been talking to us about the end time days and wants us to prepare for the coming kingdom. And he has written a book titled *The Assyrian Prophecy* that is a missing part of the end times puzzle.

Ron Susek: And he who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Write, for these words are true and faithful. The world is not ending. When you reach the end of this book, one question will be in your mind: "Lord, what would you have me to do?"

Guest (Male): You can learn more at theassyrianproject.org. Well, thanks for being with us today and we hope you'll join us again next week as we find courage for the journey in our faith walk.
