Chris Oyakhilome, the General Overseer of Believers’ LoveWorld, also known as Christ Embassy, has reportedly expressed support for the Israel–US conflict with Iran.
According to the pastor, there was no way Israel could fold their hands and watch Iran, which has been issuing threats upon threats, to annihilate them.
Addressing his congregation in a viral video posted on social media, Oyakhilome noted that Israel has for long been fighting for its existence and fears that Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons were for the destruction of Israel.
“If you had Iran declaring ‘you have no right to exist’ and you’re a small country like Israel, then there is the war over Iran. It’s important to also look at the actual cause of the war,” the senior pastor said.
“I know that there are those who say they found Israel somehow dragged the United States into it. What I will say to you is very simple. Do you know for how long Israel has been fighting for its own existence?
“Let’s assume you’re right. What would you have done if you had Iran declaring ‘you have no right to exist,’ and you’re a small country like Israel, and they are developing nuclear weapons and every day announcing if they had a chance, they’ll wipe you out of existence?
“You’re going to wait till they try it? So the more they talk about Israel is responsible for it, I think they’re making Israel look good actually while trying to make them look bad. Because they have to fight for their existence.
“No nation has been so threatened like Israel has, and the land space they occupy is so small. If the other nations are so interested in the Palestinian people, why don’t they give them a place to stay?
“The land is so small and you want them to be destroyed. And several attempts in history have been made to completely annihilate them. Is that a good thing?
“Your hatred, your personal hatred for the Jews, is satanic. Now you realize that the better view is devilish. Why do all the other nations have a right to exist?
“Even Israel says they don’t have a problem with the Palestinians staying where they are, but they cannot allow them to become a nation running their own stuff, because they will open the doors for all the enemy nations who don’t want Israel to exist, because they have a right to let them come in then, and that will be the end of Israel, because they continue to say they’re going to so they say, we can allow you offers, but make no mistakes about it.
“The Bible cannot lie. At the end of all the nations, Israel continues to exist. It’s in the book. So debate all you want it’s in the Bible that Israel will see the end of all its enemies. Its in the book. So no matter what your your school of thought is no matter what your argument is, it’s no use following the foolish argument.
“God is wiser than men, and if God chose that, that’s the way it’s going to be, you better line up with his thoughts, or else you’re a fool. See, it takes foolishness to go against God. He chose that? That’s what he wanted. For example, you can argue about Jesus.
“Why should Jesus come from a Jewish nation? Why should Jesus have been a Jew? Why should the Savior come from there? He decided to it was up to him to bring up a savior, Jesus, Christ. That was his plan. Are you wiser than God? Who do you think you are? Humble yourself and learn from the Book of Wisdom, the word of God.”
