Excerpt From The Interview

“We have to realize that Satan’s goal has always been, I’m gonna keep that prophecy from ever being fulfilled. I do not want Christ to go to the cross because if Christ gets to the cross, I’m defeated. And so we have Pharaoh commanding all the male babies of the Jewish people to be killed, to try to wipe out the Jewish population.

In Esther, there was a very real danger that all the Jewish people would be killed from an edict from Hanen. And the king said all the Jewish people would be killed and Esther pleaded on behalf of her people, and dangerously so, and the Jewish people were saved. We’ve got Bethlehem when King Herod commanded that all the male babies two years and under to be killed. 

Satan wanted to keep Christ from going to the cross. Well, now that victory has been secured by Christ on the cross. Satan desires to destroy Israel. He did not want Israel to ever come back into the land because if Israel came back into the land, that means the prophecies of the second coming could be fulfilled. And if the prophecies of the second coming could be fulfilled then that means Christ’s going to return. And Satan has been doing everything he can to prevent prophecy from being fulfilled.”
