What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is Goam Magog. [music] My guest today is Rabbi Lawrence Haj. For thousands of years, Gouog sounded like a prophecy from the distant future. But now, Israel is back in the land. Iran is threatening open war, and the whole world seems one mistake away from an explosion. So, Rabbi Hajio, is this Iran conflict the beginning of Gogg? Without a shadow of a doubt, this is Gogam Magog. Make no mistake that Iran is not seeking peace. Iran has a [music] theological um belief that we surpasses any form of peace deals or treaties they may pretend to make. But what we're seeing right now is Gog and Mog. And it's a number of nations, but they are being led by Iran who is today an Islamist jihadi messianic death cult. That is the how I've always referred to them. Uh my family came from Persia, had been in Persia, Iran for hundreds of years. um they left before the 1979 revolution when the Ayatollah took over and implemented this regime that was the birth of Gogamagago. It's been going on for decades. It's just right now reaching an apex that we're beginning to see it and connect it to the prophecy of Ezekiel in chapter 38. First of all, you have to understand that the leaders of Iran, this uh regime are messianic. There is a concept called the 12 Shia Islam. This is the ifa Ashari. And these people believe openly, this is not some secret. You can look it up. Your viewers, I encourage you to look this up to become informed in this because everything that's happening in Iran today through all of their uh proxies, whether it's Hisbala, Hamas, the Houthis, and others who may or may not ascribe to this, but they are basically proxies of this
