If you've been following the series that I've been doing, Developing a Biblical Theology of the Antichrist, then you know that every major type of the Antichrist in Scripture is a hostile, foreign, Gentile invader, antagonist to the people of Israel and to the land of Israel.

They're all Gentiles, not Jews.

Moshe TaraginHOST
How do we know? How do we know what the trua is? What the sound of the trua is? How do we even know that it's crying like? See, remember it says, because the targum of the word trua is yabava.
Moshe TaraginHOST
Anyone know? And Sisera's mother was vatiyabev em Sisera.
Moshe TaraginHOST
She was crying.
Moshe TaraginHOST
My goodness.
Moshe TaraginHOST
You probably heard that.
Moshe TaraginHOST
My goodness.
Moshe TaraginHOST
That's how we're basing the shofar on Sisera's mother? Who in the world is Sisera's mother? The answer is she's a mother.
Moshe TaraginHOST
And she's expecting her son to walk home for dinner.
Effie KleinbergHOST
He says like this.
Effie KleinbergHOST
Not only do we learn out Truah from the mother of Sisera, but how many times do we blow the shofar of Roshana? 100 sounds of the shofar.
Effie KleinbergHOST
Why? Because she cried 100 cries for her son when she found out that he died in war.
Effie KleinbergHOST
So you imagine, our entire shofar experience, not entire, but most of it, other than the part that's from the Torah, but the custom itself of a hundred blasts of the shofar, it comes from the mother of a non-Jewish general who tried to destroy the Jewish people.
Bevins WelderHOST

And in Judges 5, verse 1, look what the Bible says.
Bevins WelderHOST
Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinuim, on that day, saying, Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel when the people willingly offered themselves.
Bevins WelderHOST
You see, these songs that are written here are like ballads praising God for His creation, praising God for the deliverance from Pharaoh, which is a song that will be sung at the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ as well when we're delivered.
Bevins WelderHOST
You know, when the world is delivered from the Antichrist.

And next week I'm gonna be studying Jael, who really, Jael's story is a fulfillment of a prophecy that Deborah made to Barak when he was too big of a chicken to go to war without a woman standing next to him.
Heidi St. JohnHOST
So she's like, "Dude, I mean, I'll go with you, but God's gonna, God's gonna give Sisera into the hands of a woman," and that's exactly what he did.

Women, you can be completely feminine, faithful to the Lord, and still fierce in your defense of His Word, still fierce in your defense of the unborn, still fierce in your willingness to show up for city council meetings and school board meetings.
