Dave Robbins: Joel Golden is a Special Forces commander
with the Israeli Defense Forces or the IDF.
Twenty-four years in the IDF and Joel Golden has fought in three
of Israel’s past wars.
Joel joins me for some of–some very prophetic and exciting
Israel updates on this edition of “The Endtime Show.”
♪♪♪
Dave: Good afternoon, everybody.
I’m Dave Robbins with Endtime Ministries, and I do thank you
for joining me on this very special edition of “The
Endtime Show.”
Joining me today is Joel Golden.
And we did an interview with him just a–several months ago and
it was such a great interview.
But God is doing some amazing things in Israel and I–with
Joel and with Endtime Ministries and how we’re going to work
together in the end-time.
And so I wanted to bring everybody up to date on that.
So my good friend, Joel Golden, thank you for joining us on this
edition of “The Endtime Show.”
Joel Golden: Praise Jesus.
Thank you for having me.
Dave: Absolutely.
And, you know, you and I have never met in person, that’s
going to happen here before very long, but I really feel
a kindred spirit with you.
I kind of sense–I sense a destiny and a calling of God
upon your life, and I know you do as well, but God is going to
do some great things between–with you and me
throughout these end-times.
And I’m so thankful for that because I know God’s hand is in
all of this.
If it wasn’t for God, you and I probably would never have talked
even, but God is putting–Doug Norvell, a guy who helps to
co-host the radio program with me, he says that–he taught
a lesson here a while back on moving parts.
God is facilitating all of this end-time run here and–but
he–there’s a lot of moving parts that are going–making
this thing happen, and I know that you and I are part of
those–of the plan of God in this end-time.
I know that as sure as I’m sitting here.
And so–and I know you know that as well.
You’re in the IDF.
You’re a born-again believer and got some exciting things
coming up.
So–and I know that you’re doing a great work there in Israel
as well.
You’re not just part of the IDF, but you guys have a–don’t you
have, like, a deal where you’re feeding malnutritioned children
and things like that?
Don’t you have a store or something like that set up?
Joel: Yes, sir.
We also–that’s one of the things Lord has led us to do,
is to feed his people, his children here.
One out of three children in Israel go to bed hungry.
People don’t un–realize what a sad state that poverty is in the
state of Israel.
So we do our best to battle that.
We feed families.
We–over–close now to 500 people we feed every day.
Dave: Wow.
Yeah, that’s awesome.
And how could people support that?
Because I know there’s a lot of people that give money to Israel
to plant trees and things like that, but you guys don’t really
need that.
What you need is–we’re the–we’re focused on the
people there.
So how could people support that?
Joel: Well, very simple.
You just go to your web browser, type in thegoldenreport.com.
And you can go to the website and see what we’re–
There are articles, videos we put out.
Find whatever way best for you to support Israel and the
children of Israel and God’s people here in the land.
Dave: Yeah.
So did you say it was goldenreport.com?
Joel: Thegoldenreport.com.
Dave: Thegoldenreport.com.
Okay, so I want to make sure everybody knows that because you
guys are doing a great work, and I’ve seen your–went on and
watched some of your videos and things like that.
And, you know, the Bible says that the poor we will have with
us always, and Jesus is very interested in, “Are you taking
care of the poor?
And I was in prison and you didn’t visit me.”
I mean, the Bible talks about these things.
And so it’s not just high and mighty, “Let’s get on TV and
radio and go talk about all this.”
But there’s–we need to help everybody.
I mean, I’m interested in people.
Period.
And so it doesn’t matter how much money they have.
It doesn’t matter their status, their fame.
And so I know you’re interested in that as well, and I want
everybody to know exactly the full scope of what you’re
involved in.
You’re a Special Forces commander in the IDF but yet
you’re also helping the–you know, the misfortunate there in
Israel, and I’m–I thank you for that, and I know God has got his
hands upon all of that.
So it goes without saying, Joel, Endtime Ministries, we love
Israel, we support Israel.
I love the people of Israel.
I have many friends in Israel, wonderful associates, and have
known them–many of them for, you know, decades.
And Israel is kind of getting a bad rap in the
international community.
I mean, you know that.
Anti-Semitism it is–is at an all-time high, and at the end of
the day everybody needs to know that it is a battle versus–good
versus evil.
It’s really God versus Satan at the end of the day.
That’s what’s behind it all.
And, you know, when you think about the hostages and things
like that, October 7th Hamas takes–what was it?
Just about, man, close to 250 hostages.
If those would all have been United States citizens or
European citizens, there would have been a outcry around the
world just, “We’ve got to get the hostages home,” and they
would have went in there and just tackled them.
But it seems like the international community in some
ways has almost forgotten them.
They–they’ve–and we can’t do that.
Those hostages should have been home, you know, on October 8th
in my opinion.
But it’s this mindset of the international community against
Israel which really, Joel, is setting the stage for the coming
great tribulation, is setting the stage for the final 7-year
run, the great tribulation, the eventual Battle of Armageddon
when the nations will invade Israel.
And so I’m sure you feel it there in Israel, this great
battle between good versus evil.
Don’t you think?
Joel: Amen.
Well, only Israel, only the Jewish people can be attacked,
like you say, on October the 7th and then the rest of the world
attack them–attack us again as if we was the ones in the wrong.
You know, it’s definitely spiritual, and the people of
Israel have come around to realize what a spiritual world
this is.
You’re seeing more and more secular Jews coming closer
to God.
I know this is not what this interview is about, but it’s
what life is about.
I know you agree.
So I’ve been using this as an advantage as well, you know,
doing a lot of witnessing in the IDF at this time as well.
Dave: Yeah.
Is it against the law to proselytize in Israel?
I know some people think it is.
But how’s that work out?
Isn’t it like 18 years old and down you’re not allowed to just
go up and start, “Hey, I want to convert you?”
But from 18 years old and up, isn’t it–it would be okay for
me to go up and talk to somebody, right?
Joel: Absolutely.
Well, the reason people have a feeling or think that it’s
illegal ’cause–the truth is it used to be.
We have Benjamin Netanyahu–Prime Minister
Netanyahu to thank for changing those laws.
So, yes, you cannot witness to a minor, but you can witness to
anyone 18 and up and you just can’t coerce them.
Like, give you an example about what we do in particular.
We have to be careful with the food because it could be turned
into some sort of coercion or something, like we’re feeding
you only if you, you know, to make you–kind of put them
in a hard spot.
But, you know, I believe in the Lord, and we just–I witness
anyway, and we believe everything will work out.
So–but the feeling that people have that it’s illegal is
also–you know, the Jewish people–you can have someone out
on the streets of Israel preaching Buddhism, even Islam,
the number one enemy of the Jews, right, and everyone would
just walk on by and keep on with their day and no big deal.
But as soon as someone says the name Jesus, everyone goes crazy,
which is just more proof of where the truth is, right?
Dave: Wow.
I hadn’t really thought about that before.
That’s pretty amazing that somebody could teach Islam,
diametrically opposed to the Word of God; but if you say
Jesus and start talking about that, that’s when Israel goes
ballistic, some of the Jews.
So it’s the same thing Jesus faced in the Bible,
the Pharisees.
I mean, he saved his main rebukes for the Pharisees,
the religious sect of the day.
And so that’s some of the things that you and I will face in this
end-time run, Joel.
But I know that you’re–and as far as people supporting you and
you’re giving food to the malnutrition and the some of the
poor individuals there, the people that are misfortunate,
that’s not really–you’re not do–you’re not holding that over
anybody’s head.
You have–you guys are feeding them just so that you can help,
you know, the people.
They don’t–they’re misfortunate.
Some of them don’t–you know, they’ve been maybe displaced or
something like that and you’re helping them.
So if anybody would want to support that at The Golden
Report, they can go check it out and that would be a really
good thing.
So this mindset about the international community, I know
from the prophecies of the Bible that that’s going to be the
mindset throughout the end-time because the world government in
the end-time is–the principal driver behind that is
Satan himself.
So the world government, you can see that is Satan’s effort to
establish his physical kingdom here on the earth.
So that world government’s always going to be against
Israel throughout the end-time.
There’s never going to be a time when they’re on the side
of Israel.
It’s not going to happen like that.
So–but the United Nations doesn’t have God.
Israel has God on her side.
Now, to me at that point there’s no competition and so you–we
can rest in that fact.
But from a prophetic standpoint, I know what’s coming in the end
time and I know the international community will
never be on the side of Israel.
The United States will.
The Bible says the United States will be on and protecting Israel
against that world governing body, and of course we’ve done
that many times.
Doug Norvell: The Roman government controlled the world.
So many people were looking for a different Messiah,
a rescuing Messiah.
Doug: Remember the story of the woman at the well.
“The woman saith unto him, ‘I know that Messiah cometh, which
is called Christ.’
And Jesus said unto her, ‘I that speak unto thee am he.'”
Jesus very clearly stated that he was God and that he was
the Messiah.
We’re even more blessed because we haven’t seen those things but
yet we believe.
When Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?”
he knew every one of these prophecies had to be fulfilled.
He said, “It is finished.”

Dave: So a lot has happened since we–you and I talked last.
And just really quickly to bring our audience in on the
conversation here, most of them know about the end-time run, the
things Endtime Ministries is going to do.
We know there’s a final 7 years coming, a peace agreement starts
that final 7 years, and halfway through the abomination of
desolation, at the end of that, of the last 3 and 1/2 years, is
the Great Tribulation or another Jewish Holocaust, and then at
the end of that the Battle of Armageddon.
God laid it on my father-in-law Irvin Baxter’s heart years ago
because the warning to the Jews out in Judea, the–which I would
say the modern day West Bank, I know that’s not the best term,
but that lest people know exactly where we’re
talking about.
God laid it on my father-in-law’s heart because
that’s a New Testament prophecy.
Matthew chapter 24, Jesus said, “When you see the abomination of
desolation occur, let them which be in Judea flee because then
would be great tribulation such as never been before or ever
will be again.”
So my father-in-law asked the Lord, “Who’s going to
warn them?”
And God said back to him, “You are.
You guys understand Bible prophecy.
I’ve given you the message.
You’re going to warn them.”
And so my father-in-law come up with a plan, and I have that in
the fiber of my being now.
And so when the final 7 years hits, we’re going to mail
a magazine to every home in Israel.
Three years into that, we’re going to do a door-knocking
campaign out in the West Bank because those Jews are going to
have to know to flee at a certain point.
Okay, so when my father-in-law passed in–back in 2020, that–a
lot of that fell in on our team here, but a lot of it fell to me
because I was teaching a class and working with everybody
in Israel.
And so I started stressing out, “Oh, God.
You know, God, how are we going to do this?
You know, you’re going to have to help us.”
And, you know, I just–it was like a big thing that kind of
dropped in my lap.
Well, God started opening some doors, and I thought, “Man,
God’s going to–this is all going to happen.
This is awesome.”
But then I wondered how the–with the government and the
IDF and the police force, how’s all this stuff going to work?
So, Go–again, God has been opening some huge doors here.
And I’m going to reveal all this on this program, but God’s been
doing some amazing things for you as well.
When we talked last, you were a Special Forces commander in the
IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces, but God has done something for
you, a huge opportunity since we talked.
So start from the beginning and tell us how all that transpired
and what’s going to happen in your life in the very
near future.
Joel: Okay, well, as you said, I have been in Special Forces all
these years.
I’m getting a little bit older.
And the IDF had been offering me position after position trying
to figure out what to do instead of just letting me go home and
finish my days, right?
So they–first thing they did is they gave me an honorary rank
of aluf-mishneh.
It’s a very high rank.
If you wanted–if you had to translate it into Eng–into
American ranks, I would say a two-star general.
And they started offering me all kinds of positions.
All of them seemed to be positions that would take almost
all of my time and take away my time mainly for the work that
the Lord gave me, the ministry work.
So I always denied.
But then the last thing they offered me that I accepted was
actually amazing, something I’ve never–first of all, the
position never even existed.
I’m the first one to have this position.
And I’ll tell you something else, Dave.
The moment they offered it to me, the first thing I thought
about was you because as you just spoke about I remember
listening to all of the–all the times that you at the Endtimes,
you guys talk about how we’re going to help all these–the
Jews in Judea and Samaria when it’s time for them to run.
And I was always–knowing how the IDF works, knowing how the
police here works, I was always wondering how will that
work out.
And then when they offered me this, I said, “Okay, Lord,
I see.
I understand.”
So what they offered me was–it’s called the
Jerusalem Battalion.
I have–it’s going to be my battalion in exactly about
a month from today, actually 2 days less than a month.
I’ll have my soldiers for the first time for 2 weeks training
run and I’ll have a–my own battalion of infantry men
to–and I’ve been tasked with protecting and keeping the city
of Jerusalem.
Dave: Okay.
So wow–now, the–I want to unpack that for everybody.
When you say protecting the city of Jerusalem, why does the IDF
think they need to prote–to place a specific battalion over
the protection of Jerusalem right now?
You say it’s the first time ever.
Why do they think right now that they should need–that they need
to do that?
Joel: Well, a lot of things changed after October the 7th.
One of the things they realized is we need IDF protection inside
our cities for the uprising and potential threats we have from
within and from outside and just to protect the people and have
the Jewish people protected in a better way.
So they opened up these battalions.
There’s a few of them.
And Jerusalem is not the only one.
It’s just, in my eyes, the most important one because that’s
where the battle is–ends up.
And it’s all underneath a division called the David
Division in the military, which is also a new division now.
So, like I said, it–the IDF said, “Here, Jerusalem
is yours.”
And immediately I realized what the Lord was showing us and what
my job really would be.
Dave: Yeah.
So the–I want everybody to know this is unbelievable, that
so–and everybody should know that Joel Golden is a born-again
believer in the truest sense of the Word, how I would define
being born again.
And that in the end-time, Endtime Ministries is going to
be working with people out in Judea, Samaria, the modern day
West Bank, to get them to–I would call it Judea-Samaria.
I’m only saying that so people would recognize where we’re
talking about.
But that we–we’re going to work with those people out there to
get them to come into what I would call Israel Proper.
The pre-1967 borders were not, you know–and that to help them
escape this coming persecution.
However–and that we will have a born-again believer over the
protection of Jerusalem, basically a–for, you know,
modern-day terminology or the United States terminology
a two-star general over this specific brigade over the
protection of Jerusalem and–so tell me the–at which
you’ll–and you’ll be able to help us with–you know, navigate
some of these waters with the military and the police.
What do the mil–you said something about the military
and police.
What would the military and police–how would they–right
now, how would they react if we went to Judea-Samaria and did
a door-knocking campaign to try to get them to flee?
Would they be against that or what?
Joel: Well, if we–once it would be very diff–it would be very
difficult and dependent upon your approach angle when you
start walking around door to door.
You know, it’s a–it would be a touchy subject for sure.
But I tell you what, though.
Having, as you said, a Jesus-believing,
book–Bible-reading, born-again Christian as the battalion
commander of the Jerusalem battalion, I’ve already done
things that’s brought people’s–they’re like, “Why
would you need that?”
Like, for example, we know where the last battle is going to end
and where it’s coming from, right?
From the Jezreel Valley.
Well, I’ve got things put in place.
Already I’ve said I want connection between the Jezreel
Valley and the command post in Jerusalem where I’ll have live
feeds and see what’s going on there as it unfolds.
Dave: Yeah, that–that’s unbelievable.
So knowing that the Battle of Armageddon is coming and it’s
going to start up in the plain of Megiddo or the Jezreel Valley
up there, come down the Jordan Valley–’cause they’re not going
to come across all the mountains.
They’ll come down the Jordan Valley, right there where you
come down that flat valley to Beit She’an, come down the
Jordan Valley, come right up in the road that comes from the
Jordan Valley up into Jerusalem.
That’s–this is where the Bible says it’s all going to happen
and it–the Battle of Armageddon is going to culminate right
there in the Kidron Valley between the Temple Mount and
the Mount of Olives.
You’re telling me that you’ve already made provisions for that
for this coming war because of what the prophecies of the
Bible say?
Joel: Of course.
Well, wouldn’t you?
Listen, I’m in a unique position.
I don’t think any general–I–for–it’s easy
for me.
I’ve got it all planned out.
It was all written for me ahead of time.
I don’t have nothing to think about.
I just need to act.
So I have the cheat sheet.
I know exactly what’s going to happen, when it’s going to
happen, where it’s coming from, and what–and how it’s going
to end, amen?
So for me, it’s just getting–it’s just putting the
foot to the Word.
Dave: Yes, amen.
Man, I’m–we talked about having goosebumps before, but I hope
everybody understands I got goosebumps that are about a foot
tall on my arms.
This is unbelievable.
I never even considered anything like this happening.
I know God was going to open doors, things were going to
happen, but for you to say, “I’ve already got a plan for the
Battle of Armageddon ’cause I’m going to be the protector of
Jerusalem–” Jerusalem is the city that the international
community, that they’re going to come–the Bible says, “I will
gather them all to Jerusalem.”
And you’re going to be the protector of Jerusalem
throughout the end-time and so–you know, the Bible says the
United States is going to stand with Israel and things like
that; but I never saw this one coming, that we would have a
born-again believer who is over the brigade of the protection of
Jerusalem and that–so you’re saying there’s maybe a brigade
for Tel Aviv, maybe one for Haifa, and things like that,
different cities, but you’re going to be the one
over Jerusalem.
This is amazing, Joel.
I mean, this is prophetic, and I will–I’m privileged to be
your friend.
I got to tell you that.
I believe God put us together to work through these end-times.
You said you’ve already done some things.
Because I know a lot of people that are going to listen to this
interview will–they have signed up to be part of the
door-knocking campaign when we do that.
So you’ll be able to help us with our approach, to help
navigate some of the police, military, different things, and
give us the correct approach to be able to go out there to do
some of that because we’re going to–now, we’re going to send a
magazine to every one of them.
And one of the other things that I wanted you to know that you
didn’t know about, the–an announcement I wanted to make is
that Endtime Ministries is going back on television in Israel.
And a lot of people don’t know that, but we’ll be able to
warn them.
So not only will we be on TV and will we be doing
different–sending email blasts and all kinds of things like
that, but we’ll be able to do the door-knocking campaign.
And you’re telling us because you live there, you’re boots on
the ground, you are an Israeli personified that you will be
able to help us navigate these waters just ahead and be there
to help validate our efforts.
Joel: The state of Israel–like you said, the door-knocking
program you have 3 years into the tribulations; well, I would
suggest a good thing is to use me as the general in charge here
at that time.
In Hebrew, speaking to the people with their own language,
I would be–I think it would be a very good idea for me to
address them and tell them what–what’s coming down and
what they need to be ready for.
Dave: Absolutely.
That is on the top of the totem pole there, Joel.
We absolutely are going to do that.
You and I will be working together.
There may be times when–matter of fact, I’m telling you there
will be times when you and I will be doing television
programs together, warning the Jews what’s coming.
And also Vince Stegall, a guy–my nephew that works here
at Endtime Ministries with me, we’ve got a way of sending
YouTube videos–or I should say videos to different people
to–that they can watch, helping educating them in the things
like that.
We’ve got a way to do that to everybody in Israel.
And if you and I could do some programs together and lay all
this out for them, “Why do you need to leave?
What regions are we looking at,” the–I’m telling you, Joel, this
is God helping us navigate these waters just ahead.
And with you and I together, I think, and others–but you and
I, we’re kind of the–at the tip of the sword of this with–of
course, with our affiliate Sean and different things, but God
has established all this.
We established a college in Jerusalem, the–everything, all
of our work with the Jewish Agency.
We’ve helped thousands of Jews make Aliyah back to Israel, and
that’s going to be very key as well.
Not just those living in Judea and Samaria, but I’m interested
in biblically that the Jews around the world need to come
either to Israel or–at the very least the United States but
mainly back to Israel.
Help them make Aliyah because the Bible says there’s going to
be a–the greatest time of persecution the world’s
ever known.
female: Reminder of the breaking news this hour, at least 22
people are reported to have died in a strike in Gaza.
Dave: The rise of Islam.
I’m trying to bring you answers for so many
families desperately.
Is the Israel-Hamas-Iran conflict World War III?
So let’s talk about the four horsemen.
What do these horses symbolize?
Dave: “These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go
forth from standing before the LORD of all the earth.”
In the end-time, the true people of God will not be weak, anemic,
and defeated.
These prophesied events are revealing we are quickly
approaching the time of the Great Tribulation right now.
