Goodenough

Sid: It is outrageous; it is hard for me to believe that it is even beyond my comprehension the open doors that Messianic Vision has before us.  We have opened door in secular media in the land of Israel reaching so many multitudes of Jewish people with no editorial censorship.  We’re able to preach the gospel fully and these same doors have opened now in Germany. And you say “Germany of all places, they don’t have many Jews left.” That’s where you’re wrong, as a matter of fact my guest right here I want to get him in on this conversation.  His name is Stan Goodenough; he a correspondent, a news correspondent from Israel; he’s currently in Richmond, Virginia.  Stan the doors that have opened to proclaim the gospel I believe are supernatural doors throughout Russia. Especially to Russian speaking people; because I believe that although on yesterday’s broadcast we were talking about the horrible anti-Semitism in Europe that’s going on. And in the Middle East that’s going on, I believe very shortly it’s going to be horrific in the former Soviet Union. What’s your opinion?

Stan: It’s a good question Sid; there’s an interesting difference between the anti-Semitism that is currently rising in the world; which is being in compared to the pre-World War II that was seen in Europe and had prepared the way for Hitler to unleash his hatred on the Jews.  The situation back then was that the Jews had no haven to go to they had no haven state. When they tried to flee to Israel the doors were then slammed in what was called Palestine of course. And I remember when the nations of the world, I wasn’t there of course, but what I read the nations of the world they met in Geneva and Switzerland in the early 1950’s and they saw the threat to the world’s Jewry coming up on the horizon. They met to decide what to do to help save the Jews of Europe. And nation after nation slammed shut their doors and prevented the Jews from immigrating and getting away from Hitler’s trap.  And in fact they had nowhere to run to; and they were sent back to Germany those that didn’t try to flee and they went straight to the death camps so many millions of them. Today the situation is vastly different; there is a haven state it’s under incredible threat and attack from the Islamic world militarily and under attack from the western world, the diplomatic world and the democratic world, efforts to weaken the state but there is a state there, it’s a haven state for the Jews. And God has promised that when the Jews are brought back to their homeland He will plant them there never to uproot them again. And He is Himself I believe fully what I see in the word of God. He is determined to secular them in their homeland despite all the efforts of the whole world to rob them of that land and to rob them of their security.

Sid:  Although He’s going to do that because I believe the same scriptures that you believe.

Stan:  Hmm.

Sid: Many Russian Jews are as bad as it is in the former Soviet Union they don’t want to go to Israel.  And as a matter of fact what they want to do is that they want to come to the United States but they can’t get in the U.S. and Germany because of the holocaust that occurred.  Doesn’t have the nerve, the chutzpa we say to say, no to a Russia Jew that wants to go there. And that’s why over the last years over 100,000 Russian Jews have immigrated to Germany.  It’s not that they love the Jew but that it’s just politically incorrect not to accept the Russian Jews.  So what would cause a Russian Jew to want to go to Israel where they read the headlines about all the violence that we read here in the States?

Stan: I don’t have an answer Sid simply because most of the Russian Jews don’t have a faith in God.  Most of the Jews that have come to Israel certainly are agnostic or atheist in their outlook. So I don’t know what the answer is there but I do believe this; I do believe that God has made specific promises to restore Jews who come home. And I believe that one day, and this may sound bizarre and outrageous to many listeners, but I believe very deeply in my heart that one day Jews from everywhere in the world will leave their places which today may be secure and go to the Middle East, go to Israel. I believe that’s coming.

Sid: Okay, my spin is based on study of scripture it will be what the purpose of Israel is; “The only” and I put that world in quotes; “The Only safe haven for a Jew.”

Stan:  Hm, hm.

Sid: And that’s what will cause Jewish people to want to go there. And as bad as they may think Israel will be; it’s going to be worst in the former Soviet Union.  And even the good old United States of America; it’s hard to believe but a day will come when we will turn against the Jew because where it says in scriptures “All nations will turn against the Jew.”  That includes I believe the United States of America.  I mean why else would unsaved Jewish people in America want to go to Israel?” Forget the war situation; just the economic situation.

Stan:  Exactly there is no rational reason today American’s Jews want to go to Israel. But there is enough anti-Semitism in the air it’s like gas fumes Sid.  It’ll take something to ignite but when it ignites I believe it will be frightening.  And I can imagine a number of scenarios based on reality. For example Israel having to take some kind of step right now to subdue the threat against her the threat of war that comes from Iran, and from Syria. And even perhaps against the very Palestinian Arabs in her midst who are trying to carry out a mega attack that they must kill 20 to 30 Jews in their bus that will kill 3000 Jews in one attack. They’re working on carrying out that kind of attack.  When Israel is forced to either preempt a strike or to retaliate against some horrendous or outrageous attack I think things like that could drive western opinion. Even in the United States hard against Israel. And I think that in those circumstances you may be seeing a different perspective future for Americas Jews.

Sid: I’m speaking to Stan Goodenough, and Stan you told me a number of years ago the Holy Spirit told you very clearly “Do not get your understanding from other people’s prophecy books.  Get your understanding in reference to Israel from the Bible itself.  Did this change your thinking?

Stan:  Well it forced… I had to go obedient because it was a very clear directive and I had prior to that it was about 11 years ago I had read a good number of books on prophesy by a lot of well respected people.  And I won’t mention their names because I don’t want to put any of them down.  I’m not saying that they were all wrong, some of them were even wrong.  But the Lord did impress on me that if I did not know His word for myself I had no solid foundation on which to stand as I looked at what other people stand and wrote and speculated on concerning prophesy. And so yes, He told me to go to the word and I did that, I bought a new Bible and I read all the way through consecutively with one purpose to see what He was saying about His people and his plan for them. And I personally believe that I learned a lot from that and I would encourage anybody to go to the word first because that’s the foundation, that’s the rock.

Sid: Okay, listen the major scenario coming out of  Dallas School of Theology, and most prophesy books follow it; is that there is an event called the taking away or the rapture where the church is caught up in the air and then the Jews have the worst treatment of any  people group in all of history. Did you find this is as to be true from the study of your Bible?

Stan: No I did not.  From my study of the Bible and I believe that the full way through scripture and I believe that all prophesies line up in this. And what Jesus Himself said concerning the future of Israel.  That the time of Jacob’s trouble, the time of the suffering of the Jewish people was a time that was set to happen after Jesus left this earth and it happened for 2000 years. And with the return of the Jews to Israel, that marked the end of the time of that period of suffering and trial.  And I believe that we have one future, there will be a rapture because the Bible says that we will be called up to meet Him in the air; there will be a rapture but by the time that that happens the church and Israel will have come along side each other and amazing miracles are set to take place, I really believe it…  

Sid: Let me tell you something, this may sound crazy to you Mishpochah but I wouldn’t want to miss that, I would not want to be in heaven for anything. We’re going to see everything and even great… we’re going to see even the same works that Jesus did and even greater works this whole One New Man. And I didn’t have a chance to tell you this Stan Goodenough but your an example of the One New Man.  You’re an example of Ruth grabbing a hold of Boaz.   As a gentle you’ve gone to the land of Israel and you’ve said “Your people are my people.”  You’ve put your life your family’s life on the line for the nation Israel because you love the nation Israel. You’re like a modern day Esther and you’re a perfect picture of what I write about in my book “The Last Lap.”   Called “The One New Man.”  That’s where a Jew and a Gentle take arm together and function as the true body of Messiah.  We’re going to see the greatest revival the world has ever seen. And there’s an escapist mentality I want to get out.  I don’t know about you; I want to bring souls with me.  I believe that there is a listing of every person that you have ever won to the Lord sitting in Heaven.  I believe even better than that I believe they’ll be waiting for you when you get to Heaven.  And I believe that those that take part in soul winning ministers that there could be nothing more soul winning than reaching Jewish people with the gospel at this strategic time that we’re living in. There’s such hopelessness in the land of Israel because the whole world is against the Jewish people and the land of Israel.  But when the midst of this hopelessness we are dealing with secular media in the land of Israel talking about there is hope in the Messiah of Israel.  We’re doing the same thing in Germany, we’re doing media outreaches in the former Soviet Union that if I could tell you which I can’t until after they occur are unprecedented, historic.
