The Tale of the Unstoppable Stone (Start in a low, conspiratorial tone—almost a whisper.) Imagine a row of dominoes stretching across the horizon of time. 1,400 years long. Each domino isn't just a piece of plastic; it’s a nation. It’s a culture. It’s a people. Once, the Middle East was the garden of the Church. From the mountains of Turkey to the libraries of Egypt, the Name of Jesus was the song of the land. But then, a shadow began to move. A spirit of conquest arose—not with a message of choice, but with the weight of the sword. (Make a sweeping motion with your hand, like a falling row.) Clink. Clink. Clink. For century after century, the dominoes began to fall. These were peaceful nations—farmers, scholars, and believers—who weren't built for the theater of war. And because they weren't "warring nations," they were overwhelmed. One by one, the lights of the Middle East were extinguished. This wasn't just history; it was a systematic erasure. The goal? To keep that momentum rolling until every last trace of the ancient covenant was wiped off the face of the earth. The enemy’s eyes were fixed on the final target. The tiny land of Israel. He thought, "I have 1,400 years of momentum behind me. Nothing can stop this fall." But he forgot one thing: You can’t knock over a Mountain. (Raise your voice, becoming more animated and dramatic.) In 1948, that momentum of 1,400 years slammed into a tiny patch of desert. The enemy expected another domino. He expected a people who would fold. But instead of a domino, he hit a Stone. Israel wasn't like the others. This nation was birthed in the fire! They were trained in the art of the watchman and the skill of the warrior. When that massive, heavy wave of history hit the borders of Zion, it didn't knock it over. The momentum shattered! It was like a glass bottle hitting a granite rock. The dominoes hit the Stone, and for the first time in fourteen centuries… the falling STOPPED. (Pause. Let the silence hang for three seconds.) Now, some people think that’s where the story ends. They think the Stone is just there to block the way. But I’m here to tell you, the Prophecy says the Stone is about to MOVE. (Step forward, voice full of excitement and authority.) We are living in the hour of the Great Reversal. That Stone isn't just standing still anymore; it’s pushing back! It’s pushing back against the darkness, and as it moves, something miraculous is happening. Deep under the soil of those fallen nations, the ancient Christian roots are still there. The hearts that love freedom are still beating. And as the Stone of Israel pushes back the radical tide, it’s giving those people room to breathe again! I see a vision where the dominoes start standing back up! * Egypt... stand up! Lebanon... stand up! The believers in the East... stand up! The prophecy is coming full circle. What the sword took by force, the Stone is restoring by strength. We are watching the map be redrawn—not by the falling of the weak, but by the rising of the brave. The era of the falling domino is over. The era of the Standing Stone has begun!
