WEBVTT 00:00:09.034 --> 00:00:11.033 WELCOME BACK TO THE PODCAST, GUYS. I AM JOINED WITH MY 00:00:11.133 --> 00:00:13.766 FAMILY. >> FAMILY, FAMILY. 00:00:13.866 --> 00:00:16.967 >> JONATHAN, HUSBAND. CATHERINE AKA KK AND POPS AKA 00:00:17.067 --> 00:00:24.167 CHIEF RABBI AKA MILES. I DON'T THINK WE CAN PUT CHIEF RABBI 00:00:24.267 --> 00:00:26.500 IN THAT EPISODE. >> CHIEF RABBI, SORRY. IN 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.100 COMMANDER OF THE GALACTICAL UNIVERSE. 00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:32.667 >> PEOPLE WE BOTH NOT ONLY WE DEARLY LOVE, NOT ONLY 00:00:32.767 --> 00:00:35.667 DO WE GET ADVICE FROM THEM IN OUR PERSONAL LIVES, BUT THEY 00:00:35.767 --> 00:00:39.400 REALLY ARE SPIRITUAL COUNSEL TO US AND THEY HAVE BEEN SO 00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:43.000 PROMINENT IN HELPING US UNDERSTAND AND UNPACK THE 00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:47.334 SIGNIFICANCE OF ISRAEL. AND IT'S EMBEDDED INTO YOUR 00:00:47.434 --> 00:00:50.433 IDENTITY AND YOUR CALLING. AND IT'S SOMETHING YOU GUYS ARE 00:00:50.533 --> 00:00:54.467 LIVING OUT TODAY. AND SO AS ALL OF THIS CRAZY ANTI-SEMITISM HAS 00:00:54.567 --> 00:00:57.267 BEEN POURING OUT ONLINE IN A WAY I'VE NEVER SEEN IN MY 00:00:57.367 --> 00:01:00.166 LIFETIME, OF COURSE THERE'S BEEN RAGING ANTI-SEMITISM 00:01:00.266 --> 00:01:03.067 OVER THE YEARS. >> AND DAD, YOU GREW UP IN A 00:01:03.167 --> 00:01:07.466 TRADITIONAL JEWISH HOME. BOTH OF YOUR PARENTS WERE JEWISH. 00:01:07.566 --> 00:01:12.067 AND ALL OF OUR FAMILY LEGACY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME IS JEWISH. 00:01:12.167 --> 00:01:14.967 >> WELL, ON MY MOM'S SIDE, THE NAME IS COHEN, WHICH GOES BACK 00:01:15.067 --> 00:01:19.000 TO AARON. SO THERE'S A PRIESTLY LINE THERE. BUT I GREW UP WITH 00:01:19.100 --> 00:01:21.933 PEOPLE WHO HAD THE TATTOO FROM THE DEATH CAMPS. THEY NEVER 00:01:22.033 --> 00:01:25.133 TALKED ABOUT IT, ABOUT BEING IN THE HOLOCAUST. THEY SURVIVED. 00:01:25.233 --> 00:01:28.300 THEY WERE IN NEW YORK SURVIVING AND THRIVING, TRYING TO THRIVE. 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.467 BUT THEY NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT UNTIL IT'S BEEN REALLY RECENTLY 00:01:32.567 --> 00:01:35.967 WHEN PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE HAVE REALIZED THEIR PASSING FROM THE 00:01:36.067 --> 00:01:39.167 SCENE, AND IT'S TIME TO REMEMBER AND TO PASS THAT ON, 00:01:39.267 --> 00:01:41.800 BECAUSE LOOK AT THE CHALLENGE FOR YOUR GENERATION TO EVEN 00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.634 UNDERSTAND HISTORY AND RECOGNIZE THAT THAT WAS A REAL 00:01:44.734 --> 00:01:48.533 THING. YOU HAVE VOICES NOW THAT ARE DISPUTING AND USING 00:01:48.633 --> 00:01:51.966 REVISIONIST HISTORY TO TRY TO WIPE THAT OUT AS EVEN A THOUGHT. 00:01:52.066 --> 00:01:54.733 IT WAS A FACT. >> BUT I WAS NOT FROM A JEWISH 00:01:54.833 --> 00:01:59.567 HOME. AND WHEN I SAID, I WANT TO MARRY HIM, MILES, A JEWISH 00:01:59.667 --> 00:02:04.533 MAN, MY MOM SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO BE PERSECUTED. 00:02:04.633 --> 00:02:08.034 NO, BECAUSE SHE WAS AWARE OF THE HOLOCAUST, SHE WAS AWARE OF THE 00:02:08.134 --> 00:02:11.167 ANTI-SEMITISM. AND SHE SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE -- YOU'RE 00:02:11.267 --> 00:02:12.566 GOING TO BE -- YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PERSECUTION. 00:02:12.666 --> 00:02:15.966 >> DIDN'T I WARN YOU WHEN WE WERE GETTING MARRIED, 00:02:16.066 --> 00:02:19.400 I SAID JUST YES. OR DID I WAIT TILL WE WERE MARRIED? 00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:20.500 AND THEN I SAID, OH, BY THE WAY. >> YOU WAITED UNTIL WE WERE 00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:21.966 MARRIED. >> OKAY. 00:02:22.066 --> 00:02:24.533 >> NOT ON PURPOSE, BUT YOU. BASICALLY, HE WOULD TELL ME 00:02:24.633 --> 00:02:27.234 THIS AND I WAS LIKE, BECAUSE I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM. AND IT 00:02:27.334 --> 00:02:29.800 WASN'T UNTIL NOT BECAUSE I DENIED THE FACT THAT 00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:34.133 ANTI-SEMITISM IS A THING, BUT IN THAT TIME, TO SEE THE CHANGE. 00:02:34.233 --> 00:02:35.467 >> RIGHT. 00:02:35.567 --> 00:02:37.366 >> AND THE LAST SEVEN YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN MARRIED, SEEING 00:02:37.466 --> 00:02:42.033 PEOPLE WHO WERE STRONG SUPPORTERS OF ISRAEL CHANGE AND 00:02:42.133 --> 00:02:46.267 SPEWING, I MEAN, JUST HATE AND VITRIOL. I NEVER SUSPECTED THAT. 00:02:46.367 --> 00:02:49.500 I NEVER SUSPECTED TO SEE SO MANY CHRISTIANS. THIS IS WHAT'S 00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:51.400 BEEN THE MOST ALARMING. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE 00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:53.600 GOING TO TACKLE TODAY WITH THE PODCAST, IS WE'RE GOING TO 00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:56.400 TACKLE A LOT OF THE THEOLOGICAL STUFF, BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE 00:02:56.500 --> 00:03:01.834 PASTORS, YOU GUYS ARE BIBLE SCHOLARS OR STUDENTS OF THE 00:03:01.934 --> 00:03:06.533 WORD, AND WE NEED TO TACKLE THIS STUFF BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE 00:03:06.633 --> 00:03:09.767 NOW TALKING ABOUT REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY OR THE COVENANTS 00:03:09.867 --> 00:03:12.700 FULFILLED. YOU KNOW, ALL OF THIS STUFF THAT ARE VERY 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.033 IMPORTANT TOPICS. AND SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO HAVE YOU GUYS 00:03:15.133 --> 00:03:17.000 HERE TODAY, BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN IN MINISTRY 00:03:17.100 --> 00:03:21.600 FOR HOW MANY YEARS NOW? >> OVER 40. 00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:24.467 >> I'M 36 THIS MONTH. >> YEAH. SO ABOUT 40, ALMOST. 00:03:24.567 --> 00:03:26.267 >> 40 YEARS. >> SO YOU GOT SOME EXPERIENCE 00:03:26.367 --> 00:03:30.067 UNDER YOUR BELT. >> ROAD MILEAGE. YEAH. YOU 00:03:30.167 --> 00:03:32.233 KNOW, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS SO IMPORTANT FOR CHRISTIANS TO 00:03:32.333 --> 00:03:35.433 RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S NOT ESSENTIALLY ABOUT THE JEWS. 00:03:35.533 --> 00:03:39.300 IT'S ABOUT THE GOD OF THE JEWS. THIS IS NOT ABOUT ISRAEL, 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.600 PRIMARILY. THIS IS ABOUT WHO IS GOD. AS CHARLIE KIRK USED TO 00:03:42.700 --> 00:03:46.666 SAY, THERE IS A GOD, AND I'M NOT HIM. YOU KNOW WHO IS GOD? 00:03:46.766 --> 00:03:50.200 AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT CHRISTIANS ARE GRAFTED INTO THE 00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:53.434 COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS? WHAT 00:03:53.534 --> 00:03:57.533 DOES THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF THE MUTUALITY OF POTENTIAL 00:03:57.633 --> 00:04:00.433 PERSECUTION? AND WE'RE SEEING IN OUR DAY NOT JUST WHAT'S 00:04:00.533 --> 00:04:03.567 COMING UP AGAINST ISRAEL, BUT ALSO CHRISTIANS AROUND THE 00:04:03.667 --> 00:04:07.833 WORLD? THERE'S A STEP UP IN PERSECUTION AND EXTINCTION OF 00:04:07.933 --> 00:04:11.900 CHRISTIANS IN AFRICA AND OTHER PLACES THAT, YOU KNOW, WE 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.100 ARE CONNECTED IN A WAY THAT IS BIBLICAL. I SAY WE'RE 00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:19.600 CULTURALLY DISTINCT BUT PROPHETICALLY LINKED, AND 00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:22.367 CHRISTIANS NEED TO KNOW WHERE THEY COME FROM SO THAT THEY CAN 00:04:22.467 --> 00:04:24.700 KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING. AND PART OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.833 LONG, REDEMPTIVE LOVE STORY THAT COMES FROM THROUGH 00:04:28.933 --> 00:04:32.466 THE LINE OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, WHO IS ISRAEL. 00:04:32.566 --> 00:04:36.334 AND THEN THANK GOD COMES THROUGH DAVID AND DAVID'S 00:04:36.434 --> 00:04:41.866 GREATER SON, THE MESSIAH, JESUS. SO THE WHOLE WORLD CAN BE IN 00:04:41.966 --> 00:04:43.167 AND PART OF THIS REDEMPTIVE STORY. 00:04:43.267 --> 00:04:46.567 >> YEAH. >> YEP. IT'S NOT -- IT'S 00:04:46.667 --> 00:04:49.466 ALL WORKING TOWARDS GOD'S GLORIOUS REDEMPTIVE PLAN FOR 00:04:49.566 --> 00:04:54.534 GOOD. BUT THE ENEMY WANTS TO STIR UP STRIFE AND DIVISION 00:04:54.634 --> 00:04:58.633 THROUGH ANTI-SEMITISM, TO TURN THE VERY PEOPLE, THE CHURCH, 00:04:58.733 --> 00:05:01.933 WHO HAVE A ROLE IN THIS, TO TURN THEM AGAINST THE JEWISH 00:05:02.033 --> 00:05:06.500 PEOPLE. BECAUSE WHY IS THE ENEMY -- WHY IS ANTI-SEMITISM 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.200 A THING? WHY IS THE DEVIL GOING SO HARD AFTER JEWISH PEOPLE? 00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:12.067 WHAT IS -- WHAT'S STIRRING THAT ON? 00:05:12.167 --> 00:05:16.567 >> WELL, THINK ABOUT WHEN JESUS CAME, 00:05:16.667 --> 00:05:18.534 WHEN HE CAME TO THE EARTH, THE POWER OF THE 00:05:18.634 --> 00:05:22.167 POLITICAL AND THE RELIGIOUS WERE TOGETHER TO TRY TO THWART 00:05:22.267 --> 00:05:25.833 HIS PURPOSES ON EARTH. RIGHT. SAME THING AS WE'RE WATCHING 00:05:25.933 --> 00:05:29.567 FOR HIS RETURN, THE POWER OF THE ENEMY, THE POLITICAL AND 00:05:29.667 --> 00:05:32.967 THE SPIRITUAL, RELIGIOUS AND SOMETIMES RELIGION IS COMMUNISM 00:05:33.067 --> 00:05:36.566 AND JIHADISM, BUT RELIGIOUS IDEOLOGIES THAT WITHSTAND THE 00:05:36.666 --> 00:05:40.600 WORD OF GOD AND THE PROMISES OF GOD, THEY'RE FORMING 00:05:40.700 --> 00:05:43.566 AND GETTING STRONGER BECAUSE THE DEVIL KNOWS HIS TIME IS 00:05:43.666 --> 00:05:47.300 SHORT, AS WE SAY. AND SO IF HE CAN STOP ISRAEL FROM BEING 00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:50.367 ESTABLISHED BECAUSE JESUS IS RETURNING TO JERUSALEM, 00:05:50.467 --> 00:05:52.900 ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, ACCORDING TO THE BOOK OF ACTS, 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.666 THE SAME JESUS WHO YOU SEE ASCEND LIKE THIS WILL RETURN IN 00:05:55.766 --> 00:05:59.533 THE SAME LIKE FASHION. SO HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE 00:05:59.633 --> 00:06:03.400 ZECHARIAH SAID THE SAME THING, HE SAID, THE MESSIAH WILL COME 00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:06.700 ON THE MOUNTAIN, SPLIT THE MOUNT OF OLIVES IN TWO. FRESH 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.566 WATER WILL FLOW TO THE DEAD SEA AND MAKE ALIVE. ONLY MESSIAH 00:06:09.666 --> 00:06:13.633 CAN DO THAT, RIGHT? AND SO THE PRESSURE IS THERE TO TRY TO 00:06:13.733 --> 00:06:16.900 KEEP THIS TINY LITTLE PLACE FROM BEING ESTABLISHED AND 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.600 FLOURISHING FOR TWO REASONS. ONE IS SO THAT MY PEOPLE, THE 00:06:20.700 --> 00:06:23.266 JEWISH PEOPLE, CAN COME TO KNOW OUR MESSIAH, AND THE OTHER IS 00:06:23.366 --> 00:06:25.733 THAT THE WHOLE WORLD CAN BE BLESSED BY BEING A BLESSING. 00:06:25.833 --> 00:06:28.433 BACK TO ISRAEL. THINK OF THE BLESSINGS THAT HAVE COME 00:06:28.533 --> 00:06:31.267 THROUGH THE JEWISH PEOPLE. THE WHOLE STORY IS BEING REWRITTEN 00:06:31.367 --> 00:06:34.833 NOW, AND THE INCREDIBLE DEPTH OF THE LIES THAT WE'RE SEEING, 00:06:34.933 --> 00:06:39.033 IT'S A PHENOMENON, BUT IT'S AS OLD AS TIME. 00:06:39.133 --> 00:06:43.133 >> THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL IS ACTUALLY NOT EVEN THE FULL 00:06:43.233 --> 00:06:46.000 LAND THAT WAS PROMISED TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE. SO WHEN 00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:48.300 WAS THE LAND PROMISED? >> SO IN GENESIS 12, IT'S 00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:53.300 PROMISED TO ABRAHAM. IN GENESIS 15, IT'S PROMISED TO ISAAC, 00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:58.500 AND IN GENESIS 17 HE'S PROMISED TO JACOB. AND ALSO IN GENESIS 26 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.634 IT'S PROMISED TO ISAAC, AND IN 28 IT'S PROMISED TO JACOB. 00:07:01.734 --> 00:07:03.800 SO THERE'S THIS ONGOING -- 00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:06.033 >> ALL THE SCRIPTURE REFERENCES THAT YOU RATTLED OFF, I WANT TO 00:07:06.133 --> 00:07:08.900 MAKE SURE THE TEAM HEARD THEM SO THAT THEY CAN PUT THOSE 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.234 INTO THE POST. >> ALSO, I'M GOING TO READ ONE 00:07:11.334 --> 00:07:13.234 OF THOSE PASSAGES, BUT I WANT YOU TO GO FIRST. 00:07:13.334 --> 00:07:15.400 >> WE'RE GOING TO HAMMER THE BIBLE THROUGHOUT THIS EPISODE 00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:19.733 BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT, BECAUSE EVERYONE ONLINE IS HAMMERING, 00:07:19.833 --> 00:07:23.233 NOT USING SCRIPTURE. IT'S LIKE. >> THEY'RE USING INNUENDOS AND -- 00:07:23.333 --> 00:07:24.833 >> TAKING SCRIPTURES OUT OF CONTEXT. 00:07:24.933 --> 00:07:29.033 >> SO BUT HERE'S A THOUGHT THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT PROMISE TO 00:07:29.133 --> 00:07:31.367 ABRAHAM ALSO PROMISED -- THE LAND, SPEAKING OF THE LAND 00:07:31.467 --> 00:07:33.400 PEOPLE AND THE LAND PROMISED TO ABRAHAM. 00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:34.734 >> THE PEOPLE, THE LAND, A SEED. 00:07:34.834 --> 00:07:37.200 >> YES, PROMISED TO ABRAHAM, PROMISED TO ISAAC, AND PROMISED 00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:42.133 TO JACOB, WHO IS ISRAEL. THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL ARE JACOB'S 00:07:42.233 --> 00:07:46.633 SEED. ISRAEL THAT IS EXISTING TODAY ARE THE SONS OF ABRAHAM, 00:07:46.733 --> 00:07:51.767 ISAAC, AND JACOB. WE'RE NOT. WE DIDN'T COME HERE SOME OTHER WAY 00:07:51.867 --> 00:07:54.300 OR WE DON'T EXIST, WHICH IS ALSO OUT THERE. 00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:56.033 >> I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO -- I'M PRETTY SURE I EXIST. 00:07:56.133 --> 00:07:57.167 >> CAN I SAY ONE THING REAL 00:07:57.267 --> 00:07:59.033 QUICK BECAUSE IT GOES IN PERFECTLY WITH WHAT YOU'RE 00:07:59.133 --> 00:08:01.833 SAYING. SO HE'S SAYING IT WASN'T JUST PROMISED TO ABRAHAM, 00:08:01.933 --> 00:08:04.500 IT WAS PROMISED TO ISAAC, AND IT WAS PROMISED TO JACOB. 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.500 >> AND SO ISRAEL. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.600 READING THAT VERSE. I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU. I 00:08:08.700 --> 00:08:11.367 WILL CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU. AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH, WELL, 00:08:11.467 --> 00:08:14.833 THAT'S NOT MODERN DAY ISRAEL, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. WELL, THE 00:08:14.933 --> 00:08:18.067 CHILDREN, OUR CHILDREN WERE ASKING ME ABOUT THIS WORSHIP 00:08:18.167 --> 00:08:21.800 SONG THAT TALKS ABOUT JACOB'S DREAM, ABOUT THE LADDER. AND SO 00:08:21.900 --> 00:08:25.734 I'M LIKE, WELL, LET ME READ IT TO Y'ALL. IT'S GENESIS 28 AND 00:08:25.834 --> 00:08:27.700 I'M THINKING, EVERYONE'S QUOTING THIS VERSE AND THEY'RE 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.067 SAYING, WELL, ABRAHAM WAS ALREADY -- WE'RE THE 00:08:30.167 --> 00:08:33.800 SONS OF ABRAHAM, NOT ISRAEL. WELL, IT SAYS, AS JACOB SLEPT, 00:08:33.900 --> 00:08:36.467 HE DREAMED OF A STAIRWAY THAT REACHED FROM EARTH UP TO HEAVEN. 00:08:36.567 --> 00:08:39.700 AND HE SAW THE ANGELS OF GOD GOING UP AND DOWN THE STAIRWAY. 00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:42.633 AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRWAY STOOD THE LORD. AND HE SAID, I 00:08:42.733 --> 00:08:45.900 AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF YOUR GRANDFATHER ABRAHAM, AND THE 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.367 GOD OF YOUR FATHER ISAAC. THE GROUND YOU WERE LYING ON 00:08:49.467 --> 00:08:54.166 BELONGS TO YOU. I'M GIVING IT TO YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS. 00:08:54.266 --> 00:08:57.234 YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE AS NUMEROUS AS THE DUST OF THE 00:08:57.334 --> 00:08:59.234 EARTH. THEY WILL SPREAD OUT IN ALL DIRECTIONS TO THE WEST, 00:08:59.334 --> 00:09:02.400 EAST, NORTH, AND SOUTH, AND ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH WILL 00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:06.534 BE BLESSED THROUGH. WILL BE BLESSED THROUGH YOU AND YOUR 00:09:06.634 --> 00:09:10.500 DESCENDANTS. WHAT'S MORE, I AM WITH YOU. I WILL PROTECT YOU 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.500 WHEREVER YOU GO, AND ONE DAY I WILL BRING YOU BACK TO THIS 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.700 LAND. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU UNTIL I HAVE FINISHED GIVING 00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:21.667 YOU EVERYTHING I HAVE PROMISED YOU. 00:09:21.767 --> 00:09:22.734 >> THAT'S RIGHT. 00:09:22.834 --> 00:09:24.167 >> AND IT'S LIKE, HOW CAN YOU ARGUE WITH THAT? 00:09:24.267 --> 00:09:25.433 HE'S SAYING THAT TO JACOB. 00:09:25.533 --> 00:09:28.033 >> PEOPLE AREN'T READING THE WHOLE BIBLE. THEY'RE EITHER 00:09:28.133 --> 00:09:31.333 TAKING THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT. AND THERE'S A GREAT SAYING 00:09:31.433 --> 00:09:32.634 IN THEOLOGICAL CIRCLES THAT -- 00:09:32.734 --> 00:09:34.966 >> WHICH IS WHY WE'RE READING THE BIBLE TO THEM ON YOUTUBE 00:09:35.066 --> 00:09:41.600 TO TRY AND HELP. >> YEAH. 00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:42.534 >> THAT -- 00:09:42.634 --> 00:09:44.600 >> SORRY, DAD. >> I'M STREAMING OFF. 00:09:44.700 --> 00:09:49.433 >> DERAILED THE RABBI. >> TEXT WITHOUT CONTEXT IS 00:09:49.533 --> 00:09:52.200 PRETEXT. IN OTHER WORDS, READING SOMETHING WITHOUT 00:09:52.300 --> 00:09:54.867 KNOWING WHERE IT COMES FROM, WHO IT'S GOING TO, WHAT IT'S 00:09:54.967 --> 00:09:58.467 ABOUT. AND SOMETIMES IT'S BOTH AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT BOTH AND 00:09:58.567 --> 00:10:00.300 BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF BOTH ANDS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. 00:10:00.400 --> 00:10:03.200 IN OTHER WORDS, GOD IS BIGGER THAN JUST LINEAR THINKING. HE'S 00:10:03.300 --> 00:10:06.134 OUTSIDE OF OUR THINKING, OUTSIDE OF OUR TIME. HIS WAYS 00:10:06.234 --> 00:10:08.367 ARE NOT OUR WAYS. HIS WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR WAYS. AND SO HE 00:10:08.467 --> 00:10:11.400 CAN ACTUALLY HAVE COVENANTS THAT HE'S FULFILLING WITH 00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:14.700 ISRAEL NATIONALLY, AS HE PROMISED, AND REQUIRING US TO 00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:18.200 INDIVIDUALLY RECEIVE OUR MESSIAH. AND HE CAN AT THE SAME 00:10:18.300 --> 00:10:20.900 TIME BE HAVING A SPIRITUAL ISRAEL THAT DOESN'T DISPLACE 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.634 NATURAL ISRAEL, BUT IN FACT, ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GRAFTED 00:10:23.734 --> 00:10:26.534 IN BY FAITH IN MESSIAH. A MILLION YEARS AGO, WE TOOK A 00:10:26.634 --> 00:10:31.933 GROUP OF PASTORS WE MET IN THE KNESSET WITH BENNY ALON, 00:10:32.033 --> 00:10:34.200 WHO AT THE TIME HE'S WITH THE LORD NOW. HE WAS THE MINISTER 00:10:34.300 --> 00:10:37.067 OF TOURISM, AND HE'S A RABBI, ORTHODOX RABBI, AND HAVE ALL 00:10:37.167 --> 00:10:40.133 THESE PASTORS WITH US. AND HE SAID TO THE GROUP, HE 00:10:40.233 --> 00:10:43.933 SAID, WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM, AND YOU ARE THE 00:10:44.033 --> 00:10:49.866 CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM BY FAITH. BOTH AND, YOU KNOW, ONE DOESN'T 00:10:49.966 --> 00:10:52.333 DISPLACE THE OTHER OR NEGATE THE OTHER. ONE IS NOT 00:10:52.433 --> 00:10:55.100 SUPERSEDING THE OTHER. SOMETHING GOD HAS BEEN DOING 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.600 THROUGH THE JEWISH PEOPLE, WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE NOW, 00:10:58.700 --> 00:11:03.100 HISTORICALLY, NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE, AND THE BLESSING OF OUR 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.567 REJECTION, AS PAUL SAYS IN ROMANS 9 THROUGH 11, OUR 00:11:06.667 --> 00:11:09.766 REJECTION IS SALVATION OF THE WORLD BECAUSE WE SAID, I DON'T 00:11:09.866 --> 00:11:12.500 KNOW ABOUT JESUS. SOME OF US DO. YOU KNOW, WE STARTED THIS THING 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.600 YOU GUYS DIDN'T GET INTO ACTS 10. YOU'RE WELCOME. BUT, 00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:20.300 YOU KNOW, WE JUST, WE REJECTED NATIONALLY. AND SO THE GOSPEL 00:11:20.400 --> 00:11:24.334 WENT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. WHAT A GOOD GOD. OUR REJECTION HAS 00:11:24.434 --> 00:11:27.434 BEEN SALVATION OF THE WORLD. BUT WHAT WILL OUR ACCEPTANCE BE? 00:11:27.534 --> 00:11:30.767 PAUL SAYS, LIFE FROM THE DEAD. >> AND THAT'S WHAT THE DEVIL 00:11:30.867 --> 00:11:32.934 IS INTIMIDATED BY. >> BECAUSE HE'S THE KILLER. 00:11:33.034 --> 00:11:36.133 HE'S THE MURDERER. YES. >> YEAH, EXACTLY. AND SO WHEN 00:11:36.233 --> 00:11:39.167 YOU UNDERSTAND, WHY IS THERE SUCH A FEROCITY AGAINST THE 00:11:39.267 --> 00:11:43.233 JEWISH PEOPLE, IT'S HE IS AFRAID OF THAT COMING ABOUT 00:11:43.333 --> 00:11:46.600 BECAUSE PAUL BREAKS DOWN IN ROMANS 11, THIS WHOLE THING, 00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:49.934 EVERYONE LISTENING TO THIS PODCAST NEEDS TO GO READ THAT 00:11:50.034 --> 00:11:51.900 PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S ONE OF THE MOST 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.533 IMPORTANT ONES. UNDERSTANDING GOD'S PROPHETIC PURPOSE FOR 00:11:56.633 --> 00:12:00.067 ISRAEL, HIS LOVE FOR ISRAEL. AND PAUL BREAKS IT ALL DOWN. 00:12:00.167 --> 00:12:03.800 AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S ALSO REALLY POWERFUL IS HE SAYS, 00:12:03.900 --> 00:12:07.034 WELL, I'M JUST GOING TO PULL IT UP. 00:12:07.134 --> 00:12:09.300 >> THAT'S SMART. >> IT SAYS, MANY OF THE PEOPLE, 00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:12.067 THIS IS ROMANS 11:28. MANY OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL ARE NOW 00:12:12.167 --> 00:12:18.767 ENEMIES OF THE GOOD NEWS. AND THIS BENEFITS YOU GENTILES, YET 00:12:18.867 --> 00:12:22.433 THEY ARE STILL THE PEOPLE HE LOVES. AMEN. BECAUSE HE CHOSE 00:12:22.533 --> 00:12:26.100 THEIR ANCESTORS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, GOING BACK TO WHO WE 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.433 WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. FOR GOD'S GIFTS AND HIS CALL CAN 00:12:30.533 --> 00:12:34.466 NEVER BE WITHDRAWN. AND I WAS LIKE, OH, I MEAN, TOOK MY 00:12:34.566 --> 00:12:36.600 BREATH AWAY. THE POWER OF IT SAYS, ONCE YOU GENTILES WERE 00:12:36.700 --> 00:12:40.066 REBELS AGAINST GOD. WE WERE REBELS TOO, GUYS. WE WERE IN 00:12:40.166 --> 00:12:42.967 SIN TOO. >> Y'ALL WERE CRAZY. 00:12:43.067 --> 00:12:45.533 >> YEAH, BUT WHEN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL REBELLED AGAINST HIM, 00:12:45.633 --> 00:12:49.033 AND THIS IS WHAT MILES IS BREAKING DOWN. WHEN ISRAEL 00:12:49.133 --> 00:12:53.400 REBELLED AGAINST HIM, GOD WAS MERCIFUL TO THE GENTILES. NOW 00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:57.233 THEY ARE REBELS, AND GOD'S MERCY HAS COME TO YOU, SO THAT 00:12:57.333 --> 00:13:02.000 THEY TOO WILL SHARE IN GOD'S MERCY. AND THEN PAUL'S LIKE, 00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:04.334 HOW WONDERFUL IS GOD? BECAUSE THIS IS LIKE THE MOST 00:13:04.434 --> 00:13:06.367 MARVELOUS PLAN, RIGHT? >> SEARCHABLE. IS THAT THE NEW 00:13:06.467 --> 00:13:10.133 LIVING TRANSLATION? SINCE THE MODERN I HAVE TO INTERPRET IT 00:13:10.233 --> 00:13:13.733 INTO KING JAMES. >> I KNOW BECAUSE I KNOW ALL 00:13:13.833 --> 00:13:15.667 THOSE PASSAGES IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE. 00:13:15.767 --> 00:13:17.000 >> YOU KNOW, WHAT'S SO FUNNY IS WHEN I WAS STUDYING FOR THIS 00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:20.067 EPISODE, IT WAS GIVING ME KING JAMES, AND I WAS LIKE, GIVE IT 00:13:20.167 --> 00:13:23.700 TO ME IN NEW LIVING BECAUSE MY BRAIN IS NEW LIVING. BUT IT'S 00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:26.534 PRETTY DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S MORE MODERNIZED. 00:13:26.634 --> 00:13:27.834 >> IT'S GREAT BECAUSE -- AND IT'S ALSO THE, 00:13:27.934 --> 00:13:29.467 THE AUDIENCE THAT WE'RE SPEAKING TO. >> YEAH. 00:13:29.567 --> 00:13:32.434 >> BECAUSE I'M THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, YOU KNOW, SO OBTUSE 00:13:32.534 --> 00:13:36.133 REFERENCE TO A GREAT NOVEL THAT HAS A HIDDEN MESSIANIC MESSAGE 00:13:36.233 --> 00:13:39.667 IN THIS WAY, HIS DESIRE IN THE MIDST OF HIS TEENAGE ANGST 00:13:39.767 --> 00:13:42.200 AND HIS TEENAGE LACK OF IDENTITY AND ALL THIS DEPRESSION 00:13:42.300 --> 00:13:43.434 THAT HE'S GOING THROUGH, 00:13:43.534 --> 00:13:45.834 HE HAS THIS DREAM, THIS RECURRING DREAM 00:13:45.934 --> 00:13:48.667 THAT HE'S STANDING IN A FIELD OF RYE AND THAT HE'S ON THE 00:13:48.767 --> 00:13:50.900 EDGE OF A CLIFF AND THE CHILDREN ARE FALLING OFF THE 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.167 CLIFF, AND HE'S ABLE TO HOLD HIS ARMS OUT AND RESCUE THE 00:13:54.267 --> 00:13:57.534 CHILDREN. AND HE'S THE CATCHER IN THE RYE. AND THAT'S WHAT 00:13:57.634 --> 00:14:00.933 YOU'RE DOING. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS, THE NEXT GENERATION ARE THE 00:14:01.033 --> 00:14:03.100 CHILDREN IN THE FIELD, AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO OFF A CLIFF 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.366 UNLESS WE STAND TO CATCH THEM, YOU KNOW? AND SO WHAT YOU'RE 00:14:06.466 --> 00:14:09.567 DOING IS IMPORTANT. THAT'S WHY THE SIMPLER TRANSLATION IS 00:14:09.667 --> 00:14:10.800 RIGHT ON. 00:14:10.900 --> 00:14:13.400 >> THE SPIRIT OF DECEPTION IS LOOSED RIGHT NOW, AND THE 00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:18.334 PROPAGANDA IS BEING PLAYED OF ANTI-ISRAEL. AND THAT'S WHAT A 00:14:18.434 --> 00:14:21.000 YEAR BEFORE THE HOLOCAUST HAPPENED IS, WAS PROPAGANDA, 00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:24.467 PROPAGANDA, PROPAGANDA. >> TO GET THE PEOPLE TO BE OKAY 00:14:24.567 --> 00:14:26.700 WITH WHAT WOULD TAKE PLACE. >> EXACTLY. 00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:29.100 >> SO FILLING THEM WITH HATRED. >> EXACTLY. 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.367 >> SO THAT THEY FELT JUSTIFIED. >> YEAH. SO THE SPIRIT OF 00:14:32.467 --> 00:14:38.067 DECEPTION. SO LIKE COVID, THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE, 00:14:38.167 --> 00:14:43.167 WE CAN SEE THAT SAME SPIRIT. SO THIS SAME LIKE ANTI-SEMITISM IS 00:14:43.267 --> 00:14:45.533 A SPIRIT OF DECEPTION. AND WHEN IT COMES WE NEED TO DISCERN 00:14:45.633 --> 00:14:48.300 WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM? WHAT IS THE FRUIT OF IT? WHERE ARE 00:14:48.400 --> 00:14:51.400 THEY GOING WITH THIS? IS THIS DIVISIVE? IS THIS BRINGING ME 00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:55.000 TO GOD? WHEN YOU QUOTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS, WHEN YOU 00:14:55.100 --> 00:14:57.667 QUOTED THAT THERE'S A PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED, THE JEWS 00:14:57.767 --> 00:15:01.100 RETURNING TO THE LAND, MY EYES BEGAN TO LOOK UP. I BEGAN TO 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.067 SAY, MY HOPE IS COMING. IT'S NEAR. IT'S NEAR NOW THAN EVER. 00:15:04.167 --> 00:15:08.200 SO IT'S LIKE NOW IT'S PRESENT. AND SO IT RELEASES FAITH. 00:15:08.300 --> 00:15:12.034 PROPHECY RELEASES FAITH. THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING IN THIS 00:15:12.134 --> 00:15:16.533 SPIRIT OF DECEPTION AND LIES ARE RELEASING UNBELIEF, 00:15:16.633 --> 00:15:21.100 CRITICISM, DOUBT AND MURDER IN THEIR HEART. 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.333 >> AND ALWAYS FOCUS, BECAUSE THIS IS HOW -- BECAUSE ONE 00:15:24.433 --> 00:15:28.966 OF THE THINGS PAUL WARNS TIMOTHY AND JESUS WARNS US AS 00:15:29.066 --> 00:15:32.000 WELL IS PAUL WARNS TIMOTHY ABOUT IN THE YOU KNOW, IN THE 00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:34.133 LAST DAYS PEOPLE WILL BE THIS WAY. JESUS SAYS, DON'T BE 00:15:34.233 --> 00:15:37.167 DECEIVED. HE WARNS ABOUT THAT. SO WE KNOW THAT IN 00:15:37.267 --> 00:15:40.900 THE END TIMES, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST DAYS, DECEPTION WILL 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.100 BE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. AND WE'RE LIVING IN VERY DECEPTIVE 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.533 TIMES. EVEN WITH AI COMING IN, PEOPLE ARE BEING DECEIVED ON A 00:15:47.633 --> 00:15:50.300 GRAND SCALE LIKE NEVER BEFORE, AND THERE'S THE POSSIBILITY OF 00:15:50.400 --> 00:15:53.800 DECEIVING PEOPLE IN A VERY MASSIVE WAY. RIGHT? SO WE 00:15:53.900 --> 00:15:56.734 ALREADY KNOW IN SCRIPTURE IT'S SAYING, DON'T BE DECEIVED. AND 00:15:56.834 --> 00:16:00.034 THIS IS WHAT I ALWAYS GO BACK TO. WHAT IS THIS INFORMATION 00:16:00.134 --> 00:16:02.833 PRODUCING IN ME? BECAUSE IF THIS INFORMATION. 00:16:02.933 --> 00:16:04.366 >> WHAT'S THE FRUIT? >> WHAT IS THE FRUIT? IF IT'S 00:16:04.466 --> 00:16:08.366 PRODUCING OFFENSE AND HATRED IN ME, THEN THAT'S A RED FLAG 00:16:08.466 --> 00:16:11.233 BECAUSE THE BIBLE DOES NOT PRODUCE IN ME A HATRED TOWARDS 00:16:11.333 --> 00:16:15.467 ANYONE. GOOD POINT. THE BIBLE SAYS, BLESS THOSE WHO PERSECUTE 00:16:15.567 --> 00:16:19.167 YOU, PRAY FOR THOSE. SPEAK LIFE OVER PEOPLE. THE BIBLE IS NEVER 00:16:19.267 --> 00:16:23.533 ENCOURAGING ME TO HATE ANYONE. THE BIBLE IS ALWAYS GETTING ME 00:16:23.633 --> 00:16:25.900 TO THE POINT THE MIRROR AT MYSELF AND SAY, WHAT DO I 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.000 NEED TO REPENT FOR? SO IF SOMETHING IS STIRRING HATE 00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:32.400 WITHIN ME, THAT'S A RED FLAG. AND I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT HOW 00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:35.267 DOES THE ENEMY WORK. HE'S A DECEIVER, HE'S A LIAR, HE'S A 00:16:35.367 --> 00:16:40.767 LABELER. HE LIKES TO PUT LABELS ON PEOPLE. AND BY DOING THAT, 00:16:40.867 --> 00:16:44.833 BY LYING AND DECEIVING AND BY LABELING, HE CAUSES PEOPLE TO 00:16:44.933 --> 00:16:48.066 GET OFFENDED AND IT HARDENS THEIR HEARTS TOWARDS SOMEONE 00:16:48.166 --> 00:16:50.467 WHERE THE LOVE OF GOD CAN'T FLOW THROUGH BECAUSE THEY'RE 00:16:50.567 --> 00:16:53.133 OFFENDED. RIGHT. AND SO WHEN YOU'RE HEARING THIS INFORMATION, 00:16:53.233 --> 00:16:55.900 OH, THEY'RE THIS, THEY'RE THAT, THEY'RE THIS, ALL THESE LABELS. 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.467 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? THE DEVIL IS HE'S THE 00:16:58.567 --> 00:17:01.300 ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN. HE'S AN ACCUSER. RIGHT? YOU'RE THIS, 00:17:01.400 --> 00:17:03.934 YOU'RE THAT, I MEAN, AND SOMETIMES WE'LL EVEN HEAR HIM 00:17:04.034 --> 00:17:06.433 TALK TO US THIS WAY. YOU'RE THIS, YOU'RE THAT. YOU'RE YOU 00:17:06.533 --> 00:17:10.167 KNOW, HE'LL MAKE YOU. SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TACTICS 00:17:10.267 --> 00:17:13.466 BEHIND THE INFORMATION BEING SAID. 00:17:13.566 --> 00:17:16.867 >> YES. AND WHO CAN -- YOU KNOW, THERE ARE COMMANDS 00:17:16.967 --> 00:17:19.867 IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT, IN THE TANAKH, 00:17:19.967 --> 00:17:23.533 THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES AND THE NEW TESTAMENT, THERE ARE 00:17:23.633 --> 00:17:27.500 COMMANDS TO BELIEVERS. YOU KNOW, ISAIAH TELLS THAT LEADING UP TO 00:17:27.600 --> 00:17:30.500 THE FALL FEASTS, THERE ARE SEVEN SABBATHS OF COMFORT, SEVEN 00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:35.234 SABBATHS OF CONSOLATION. AND THE FIRST ONE IS ISAIAH 40 AND 00:17:35.334 --> 00:17:39.900 IT'S NACHAMU NACHAMU AMI WHICH IS A COMMAND COMFORT YE COMFORT 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.666 YE MY PEOPLE. NOW WHO IN THE WORLD CAN COMFORT HIS PEOPLE? 00:17:44.766 --> 00:17:47.633 ONLY BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS IN THE BIBLE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE 00:17:47.733 --> 00:17:50.167 BEEN COMFORTED, ACCORDING TO PAUL, 2 CORINTHIANS 15, WE 00:17:50.267 --> 00:17:53.233 HAVE BEEN COMFORTED. THEREFORE WE CAN COMFORT THOSE WHO NEED 00:17:53.333 --> 00:17:56.300 COMFORT. SO ON AND SO ON. BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONES WHO ARE 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.600 BORN FROM ABOVE. YOU'RE THE ONES WHO CAN AND ARE, 00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:03.700 BY THE WAY, ARE COMMANDED TO COMFORT HIS PEOPLE, HIS 00:18:03.800 --> 00:18:06.433 NATURAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS. >> THAT'S POWERFUL. AND YOU 00:18:06.533 --> 00:18:09.500 KNOW WHAT I JUST REALIZED? WE NEVER I MEAN, PEOPLE ARE SAYING, 00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:12.867 YOU KNOW, ISRAEL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S FULFILLED. WE'RE MOVING 00:18:12.967 --> 00:18:15.933 ON. THE CHURCH FULFILLED IT, JESUS FULFILLED IT. AND PAUL IS 00:18:16.033 --> 00:18:19.400 STATING SO CLEARLY IN ROMANS 11 THAT GOD IS NOT DONE WITH 00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:22.100 ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE. AND HE SAYS, THE GIFTS AND THE 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.767 CALL OF GOD CAN'T BE TAKEN AWAY. THEY CAN'T BE WITHDRAWN. WHAT 00:18:25.867 --> 00:18:29.333 WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT THAT VERSE? >> THAT'S A LIFE VERSE FOR US 00:18:29.433 --> 00:18:32.200 BECAUSE WE LIVE ROMANS NINE THROUGH 11. ANYBODY WHO'S 00:18:32.300 --> 00:18:36.267 WATCHING THIS, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, IF YOU WANT AN ABILITY TO 00:18:36.367 --> 00:18:39.200 DISCERN THE VOICES THAT ARE OUT THERE, TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE 00:18:39.300 --> 00:18:42.267 ACTUALLY SAYING AND WHETHER IT'S BIBLICAL, IF YOU GET A 00:18:42.367 --> 00:18:46.567 SIMPLE TRANSLATION AND READ ROMANS NINE THROUGH 11, THREE 00:18:46.667 --> 00:18:50.366 CHAPTERS, VERY SIMPLE. GO SLOWLY, PRAY ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, 00:18:50.466 --> 00:18:53.700 ASK, IS THIS TRUE? IS THIS NOT TRUE? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? 00:18:53.800 --> 00:18:57.600 IT'S A MASTER CLASS IN THE ENTIRE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE 00:18:57.700 --> 00:19:00.334 JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS, AND THE ENTIRE CONNECTION BETWEEN 00:19:00.434 --> 00:19:06.167 PROPHECY FULFILLED, PROMISES FULFILLED. AND IT'S JUST A JUST 00:19:06.267 --> 00:19:10.700 THE WORD OF THE FACT THAT GOD NEVER RESCINDED HIS 00:19:10.800 --> 00:19:14.100 PROMISES TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. WHAT A GREAT WORD FOR 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.833 EVERYBODY. THE FACT THAT MY PEOPLE STILL ARE ALIVE AFTER 00:19:17.933 --> 00:19:21.000 ALL, A REBELLION AND ALL OF OUR MISHEGAS, YIDDISH FOR CRAZINESS, 00:19:21.100 --> 00:19:23.567 ALL OF OUR WANDERINGS AND ALL OF OUR REBELLION, ALL OF OUR 00:19:23.667 --> 00:19:27.533 DISOBEDIENCE, THAT HE RESTORED US TO THE LAND WITHOUT BELIEF, 00:19:27.633 --> 00:19:29.400 WHICH HE SAID IN EZEKIEL HE WOULD DO. WE DON'T HAVE TO 00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:32.133 BECOME, YOU KNOW, IS GOD'S DONE WITH ISRAEL BECAUSE THEY DON'T 00:19:32.233 --> 00:19:35.900 BELIEVE IN JESUS? NO. GOD SAID, I'M GOING TO BRING THEM BACK TO 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.000 THE LAND IN UNBELIEF, AND THEN I WILL SPRINKLE WATER UPON THEM. 00:19:40.100 --> 00:19:42.367 THEN THEY WILL BE BORN OF MY SPIRIT. 00:19:42.467 --> 00:19:45.734 >> WHAT VERSE IS THAT? >> THAT'S EZEKIEL 39, 38 AND 39. 00:19:45.834 --> 00:19:47.467 >> WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THAT PASSAGE. I FEEL LIKE YOU WERE 00:19:47.567 --> 00:19:49.400 GOING TO SAY SOMETHING. >> I WAS JUST GOING TO BRING IT 00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:51.667 BACK BECAUSE, REBECCA, YOU STARTED WITH EZEKIEL. AND 00:19:51.767 --> 00:19:54.633 THAT'S THE ANSWER IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE SCATTERED IN 00:19:54.733 --> 00:19:58.834 UNBELIEF, GOD SAID, I WILL REGATHER AND I WILL RESTORE YOU. 00:19:58.934 --> 00:20:02.167 AND WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME OF RESTORATION. AND RESTORATION IS 00:20:02.267 --> 00:20:05.534 THE GREATEST MIRACLE TO WATCH. I MEAN, WE CAN SEE THE BOOK OF 00:20:05.634 --> 00:20:07.967 RUTH WHEN THEY'RE BEING RESTORED BACK TO THE LAND, WHEN 00:20:08.067 --> 00:20:12.100 THEY'RE COMING OUT OF, OUT OF MOAB, OUT OF A DEATH, OUT OF 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.467 DARKNESS AND DYING AND BRINGING, COMING BACK TO THE HOUSE OF 00:20:15.567 --> 00:20:18.800 BREAD. AND IT TOOK THE JEW AND THE GENTILE COMING BACK TO THE 00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:22.466 HOUSE AND UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER FOR THE FULL 00:20:22.566 --> 00:20:26.433 REDEMPTION TO COME. >> I REMEMBER WHEN, REBECCA, I 00:20:26.533 --> 00:20:29.334 THINK I'VE TOLD YOU THIS STORY, BUT WHEN I WAS LIVING IN ISRAEL, 00:20:29.434 --> 00:20:35.800 STUDYING HEBREW FULL TIME, GOD GAVE ME A GIFT IN THE CLASS, 00:20:35.900 --> 00:20:38.400 THERE WAS A GUY WHO WAS FROM WASHINGTON WHO WAS A LINGUIST, 00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:41.667 AND SO HE WAS THE ONLY OTHER AMERICAN IN THIS GROUP. IT WAS 00:20:41.767 --> 00:20:45.234 JUST ME, HIM, AND THEN A ROOM FULL OF RUSSIANS AND UKRAINIAN 00:20:45.334 --> 00:20:49.000 IMMIGRANTS TO ISRAEL. BUT WHAT WAS SO UNIQUE ABOUT THIS 00:20:49.100 --> 00:20:51.534 FRIENDSHIP THAT WE FORMED, WE BOTH HAPPENED TO LIVE IN THE 00:20:51.634 --> 00:20:56.367 SAME CITY OUTSIDE OF HAIFA, SO WE RODE THE SAME CARMELIT TRAIN 00:20:56.467 --> 00:20:59.834 TO AND FROM CLASS EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND THEN WE ENDED UP 00:20:59.934 --> 00:21:02.766 FORMING A FRIENDSHIP. AND SO WE WOULD DO OUR ULPAN HOMEWORK 00:21:02.866 --> 00:21:06.300 TOGETHER AFTER CLASS, AND WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:10.666 TIMES OF US BEING TOGETHER, HE STARTED SAYING, WELL, ISRAEL 00:21:10.766 --> 00:21:13.034 DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE. BIBLICALLY, IT'S JUST A 00:21:13.134 --> 00:21:16.700 HISTORICAL PLACE. AND I'M HERE BECAUSE AS A CHRISTIAN, THERE'S 00:21:16.800 --> 00:21:21.100 HISTORY HERE, BUT THERE'S NO RELEVANCE TO MY FAITH TODAY. 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.633 AND SO OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAYS AND THE WEEKS I WAS 00:21:24.733 --> 00:21:29.267 UNPACKING TO HIM THE RELEVANCE OF IT, AND I REMEMBER IT HIT A 00:21:29.367 --> 00:21:32.634 CULMINATION POINT. AFTER WE HAD STAYED TOGETHER FOR WEEKS, WE 00:21:32.734 --> 00:21:37.467 WENT AND VISITED A FAMILY IN ARIEL, WHICH IS OUTSIDE 00:21:37.567 --> 00:21:40.233 OR IT'S IN SAMARIA. HAVE YOU BEEN THERE, DAD? 00:21:40.333 --> 00:21:44.200 >> YEAH, >> YEAH, AND THEY WERE GENTILE 00:21:44.300 --> 00:21:48.867 BELIEVERS FROM SOMEWHERE IN EASTERN EUROPE WHO HAD MADE 00:21:48.967 --> 00:21:51.734 THAT THEIR HOME, AND THEY'D TURNED THEIR HOME INTO A HOUSE 00:21:51.834 --> 00:21:56.233 OF PRAYER, AND WE HAD DINNER WITH THEM AND WE VISITED THEM. 00:21:56.333 --> 00:21:59.534 AND I WAS EXPLAINING TO MY FRIEND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT 00:21:59.634 --> 00:22:03.167 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY. AND ON THE WAY HOME THE NEXT 00:22:03.267 --> 00:22:06.200 MORNING, I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK THE BEST THING TO 00:22:06.300 --> 00:22:10.167 DO IS JUST OPEN UP. AND I GUESS IT WAS A GOD IDEA BECAUSE, I 00:22:10.267 --> 00:22:12.767 MEAN, I SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS. I SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM TO DO THIS 00:22:12.867 --> 00:22:15.667 WEEKS BEFORE. BUT WE'VE BEEN BUILDING TO THIS MOMENT. I SAID, 00:22:15.767 --> 00:22:18.667 OPEN UP ROMANS NINE AND LET'S READ IT TOGETHER. YOU READ IT 00:22:18.767 --> 00:22:22.200 TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. SO HE OPENED UP AND BEGAN TO READ 00:22:22.300 --> 00:22:27.700 ROMANS 9, 10 AND 11. AND LET ME TELL YOU, THE PRESENCE OF GOD 00:22:27.800 --> 00:22:30.666 FELL SO HARD IN THE CAR. >> OH, WOW. 00:22:30.766 --> 00:22:34.167 >> AND HE BEGAN TO WEEP LIKE. >> HE REPENTED. 00:22:34.267 --> 00:22:38.467 >> UNCONTROLLABLY, BASICALLY. AND LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT 00:22:38.567 --> 00:22:41.500 WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. AND YOU COULD SAY DEBATING, REALLY, 00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:43.767 YOU KNOW, OVER THE WEEKS AND MONTHS LEADING UP TO 00:22:43.867 --> 00:22:47.533 THIS HIT, LIKE THIS CULMINATION POINT AND I SAW, YOU KNOW, HIM 00:22:47.633 --> 00:22:51.266 COMPLETELY CHANGE IN HIS UNDERSTANDING AND THEN BEGIN TO 00:22:51.366 --> 00:22:56.333 HAVE A REALLY DEPTH BUILD WITHIN HIM AS FAR AS HIS FAITH. 00:22:56.433 --> 00:22:58.867 >> YES. >> SO THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE 00:22:58.967 --> 00:23:02.166 OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN. >> AND THAT IS SO -- 00:23:02.266 --> 00:23:05.300 THAT IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO 00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:09.167 ENCOURAGE EVERYONE WHO'S WATCHING THE PODCAST IS GET 00:23:09.267 --> 00:23:14.000 INTO THE SECRET PLACE, OPEN UP YOUR BIBLE, AND GENUINELY ASK 00:23:14.100 --> 00:23:18.200 THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SHOW YOU WHAT HIS HEART IS FOR ISRAEL, 00:23:18.300 --> 00:23:21.800 BECAUSE GOD WILL SHOW IT TO YOU. AND WHEN YOU CONNECT TO GOD ON 00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:25.134 A SPIRIT LEVEL LIKE THAT, YOU WILL NEVER -- NOTHING CAN 00:23:25.234 --> 00:23:29.400 REALLY DISSUADE YOU AFTERWARDS BECAUSE IT'S WHEN HE SHARES HIS 00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:32.800 HEART WITH YOU, IT'S THAT CONNECTION. IT'S NOT KNOWLEDGE, 00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:36.900 IT'S SOMETHING DEEPER THAN THAT. >> BUT THAT'S WHY WE GO. 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.100 WE'RE BRINGING ANOTHER BUSLOAD IN A FEW WEEKS, 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.400 WE'LL BE BACK IN ISRAEL. >> YES, GUYS, THEY DO TOURS. 00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:44.600 WE'LL PUT THEIR INFORMATION DOWN HERE. 00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:46.334 RIGHT THERE. OKAY. KEEP GOING. 00:23:46.434 --> 00:23:49.067 >> BUT ONCE YOU -- THIS IS WHAT YOU JUST SAID. WHAT ALL OF YOU 00:23:49.167 --> 00:23:52.233 JUST SAID. ONCE YOU GET ISRAEL BY REVELATION, ONCE YOU SEE IT 00:23:52.333 --> 00:23:56.100 BY REVELATION, YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT. SOMETHING HAPPENS. HAPPENS 00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:59.334 TO YOUR BIBLE. IT HAPPENS TO YOUR SPIRIT. IT HAPPENS TO YOUR 00:23:59.434 --> 00:24:02.733 HEART, YOUR MIND. EVERYTHING GETS REVVED UP AND CHANGED AND 00:24:02.833 --> 00:24:07.100 YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT. IT'S JUST THERE AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T. 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:09.167 >> IT MAKES EVERYTHING MAKE WAY MORE SENSE. 00:24:09.267 --> 00:24:10.700 FOR ME IT BROUGHT SO MUCH CLARITY. 00:24:10.800 --> 00:24:12.100 >> YES. 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:14.567 >> AND THE BIBLE AND EVERYTHING. THE WHOLE PLAN OF GOD MAKES SO 00:24:14.667 --> 00:24:18.233 MUCH MORE SENSE. THIS NONSENSE, SORRY, THIS NONSENSE 00:24:18.333 --> 00:24:22.367 THAT THE CHURCH REPLACES AND FULFILLS, IT'S LIKE, NO, GOD 00:24:22.467 --> 00:24:25.100 KEEPS HIS COVENANTS. HE DOESN'T DROP THE COVENANTS 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:29.267 AND HE'S NOT DONE. >> IF YOU START YOUR BIBLE STUDY 00:24:29.367 --> 00:24:32.133 IN MATTHEW, IT'S LIKE COMING INTO A MOVIE 00:24:32.233 --> 00:24:33.633 IN THE MIDDLE. YOU KIND OF 00:24:33.733 --> 00:24:35.567 KNOW HOW IT ENDS, BUT YOU'RE NOT SURE WHY. 00:24:35.667 --> 00:24:38.000 >> YEAH, YEAH, BECAUSE THE DISCIPLES. 00:24:38.100 --> 00:24:39.266 >> SUCH A GOOD POINT. >> THE DISCIPLES 00:24:39.366 --> 00:24:42.167 QUESTION WAS, ARE YOU GOING TO RESTORE YOUR KINGDOM NOW? 00:24:42.267 --> 00:24:44.600 AND HE SAID, IT'S NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW 00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:46.167 >> WHEN THE KINGDOM WILL BE RESTORED. 00:24:46.267 --> 00:24:48.967 BUT HE IS. HE IS. HE IS GOING TO RESTORE HIS 00:24:49.067 --> 00:24:51.333 KINGDOM. AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE -- HE'S NOT RETURNING 00:24:51.433 --> 00:24:53.200 TO DAVOS OR DALLAS, NO OFFENSE. 00:24:53.300 --> 00:24:55.166 HE'S COMING TO JERUSALEM. SO WE, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, 00:24:55.266 --> 00:24:59.200 HAVE TO CRY OUT, BARUCH ADONAI. THAT'S IN THE BIBLE. 00:24:59.300 --> 00:25:01.133 IT'S IN MATTHEW 23:39. 00:25:01.233 --> 00:25:03.667 HE SAID TO THE JEWS, YOU WILL NOT SEE ME AGAIN 00:25:03.767 --> 00:25:08.200 UNTIL YOU SAY, BARUCH HASHEM ADONAI. THAT'S WHY WE NEED THE 00:25:08.300 --> 00:25:11.467 POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT THE CHURCH CARRIES TO CONTINUE 00:25:11.567 --> 00:25:15.167 TO LOVE US TO SALVATION, LOVE US TO AN AWARENESS OF JESUS. 00:25:15.267 --> 00:25:18.600 HELP US TO SEE JESUS, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A GREAT HISTORY 00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:22.900 FROM THE CHURCH TOWARDS US. AND SO YOU GUYS, THIS GENERATION 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.800 HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVERSE THAT. SO IT'S NOT SURPRISING TO 00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:30.400 ME AT ALL THAT THESE CONTRARY WINDS ARE ARISING, THESE REALLY 00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:34.467 VILE VOICES THAT ARE TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING THE JEWS FAULT. 00:25:34.567 --> 00:25:37.234 I MEAN, THAT'S JUST HISTORY. IT JUST HAPPENS. 00:25:37.334 --> 00:25:39.433 >> AND I WANT TO GO THERE. BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER THING THAT 00:25:39.533 --> 00:25:42.700 YOU SAID THAT I THINK IS SO IMPORTANT. ONE THING IS, IS 00:25:42.800 --> 00:25:45.133 THAT THE GOSPELS ACTUALLY DON'T REALLY MAKE THAT MUCH SENSE 00:25:45.233 --> 00:25:48.067 UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING PRECEDING IT, 00:25:48.167 --> 00:25:52.200 BECAUSE JESUS IS THE JEWISH MESSIAH WHO CAME FOR THE HOUSE 00:25:52.300 --> 00:25:55.700 OF ISRAEL. EVEN HIS TEACHINGS REALLY DON'T MAKE SENSE. I MEAN, 00:25:55.800 --> 00:25:57.766 THERE'S A REASON WHY, WHEN HE'S ASCENDING UP INTO HEAVEN AND 00:25:57.866 --> 00:26:00.567 THEY'RE LIKE, AREN'T YOU GOING TO RESTORE ISRAEL? 00:26:00.667 --> 00:26:03.233 AND HE'S LIKE, NOT -- YOU KNOW, HE'S LIKE, NOT I DON'T 00:26:03.333 --> 00:26:07.366 REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT THE RESPONSE IS, BUT THERE'S A 00:26:07.466 --> 00:26:09.433 REASON WHY THEY'RE EVEN ASKING THAT QUESTION, THEIR 00:26:09.533 --> 00:26:11.866 EXPECTATION. I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT 00:26:11.966 --> 00:26:14.267 IN THE GOSPELS, YOU CAN ONCE AGAIN, LIKE YOU SAID, 00:26:14.367 --> 00:26:15.867 YOU CAN TAKE THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT. 00:26:15.967 --> 00:26:17.967 YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HISTORICAL SITUATION 00:26:18.067 --> 00:26:21.533 THAT THEY'RE IN. >> HE CAME FIRST TO AS A 00:26:21.633 --> 00:26:24.734 SUFFERING SERVANT. HE CAME FIRST AS LAMB OF GOD, BUT HE'S 00:26:24.834 --> 00:26:28.567 RETURNING AS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. THEY WANTED HIM 00:26:28.667 --> 00:26:31.733 TO BE THE LION THEN. BUT HE WAS INSTITUTING 00:26:31.833 --> 00:26:35.500 WHO HE WAS TO HAVE A LAMB'S NATURE AND WHO HE WANTS 00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:40.500 US TO BE IS THE LAMB'S NATURE. AND THAT WAS THE, YOU KNOW, 00:26:40.600 --> 00:26:42.933 I WENT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THAT MEMORY WHEN MOM'S -- MY MOM 00:26:43.033 --> 00:26:45.867 SAID, WELL, YOU'LL PROBABLY BE PERSECUTED. WELL, I GOT TO MY 00:26:45.967 --> 00:26:49.166 SECRET PLACE. I WENT TO THE SECRET PLACE. AND THE LORD SAID 00:26:49.266 --> 00:26:54.767 THAT, YES, I AM. I CAME AS AS I CAME TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE 00:26:54.867 --> 00:26:57.800 FIRST AND I CAME. >> WHAT DID HE SAY? HE SAID -- 00:26:57.900 --> 00:27:00.167 YOU SAID, CAN YOU LOVE A JEW? >> I SAID, WELL, THAT'S 00:27:00.267 --> 00:27:02.833 WHAT I WAS WITNESSING TO DAD. >> SHE'S TRYING TO GET ME TO 00:27:02.933 --> 00:27:06.367 JESUS. CAN YOU SAVE A JEW? >> OH, THAT'S RIGHT, JONATHAN, 00:27:06.467 --> 00:27:09.634 BECAUSE IT HAPPENED BEFORE MY MOM HAD SAID THAT. HE SAID, I 00:27:09.734 --> 00:27:12.733 SAID, GOD, CAN YOU SAVE A JEW? AND HE SAID, NOT ONLY CAN I 00:27:12.833 --> 00:27:17.333 SAVE A JEW, BUT I CAME AS ONE, AND I'M IDENTIFYING -- AND I GOT 00:27:17.433 --> 00:27:20.933 THE IMPRESSION THROUGH MY --THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF GOD THAT 00:27:21.033 --> 00:27:23.667 HE WAS STILL IDENTIFYING AS A JEW, BECAUSE THEN HE SAID, AND 00:27:23.767 --> 00:27:27.233 I WILL RETURN AS A LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. SO I WAS 00:27:27.333 --> 00:27:32.300 FOREVER MARKED, AND I CONSIDER THAT A HOLY THING, BECAUSE 00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:34.900 THAT'S WHAT OUR GOAL IS ON EARTH HERE. IT'S NOT TO BE 00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.966 COMFORTABLE, IT'S TO BE CONFORMED TO HIS LIKENESS AND 00:27:38.066 --> 00:27:41.700 IMAGE. AND HE WAS THAT LAMB. HE WAS THAT SACRIFICE. 00:27:41.800 --> 00:27:44.167 >> AND THAT PERFECTLY LEADS TO ANOTHER REALLY IMPORTANT POINT 00:27:44.267 --> 00:27:46.066 THAT I WANT TO MAKE, BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LAMB 00:27:46.166 --> 00:27:49.100 NATURE OF CHRIST. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S CIRCULATING ON 00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:53.000 THE INTERNET IS, OH, WELL, THE JEWS KILLED JESUS. AND THAT IS 00:27:53.100 --> 00:27:56.100 SUCH AN OFFENSIVE REMARK, BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT STIR 00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:02.000 UP HATE, BUT IT DEVALUES THE SACRIFICE THAT JESUS GAVE HIS 00:28:02.100 --> 00:28:04.967 LIFE FOR US. AND JESUS SAYS IN JOHN 10, HE SAYS, THE FATHER 00:28:05.067 --> 00:28:08.367 LOVES ME BECAUSE I SACRIFICE MY LIFE, SO I MAY TAKE IT BACK 00:28:08.467 --> 00:28:12.534 AGAIN. NO ONE CAN TAKE MY LIFE FROM ME. I SACRIFICED IT 00:28:12.634 --> 00:28:15.600 VOLUNTARILY, FOR I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO LAY IT DOWN WHEN I 00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:18.067 WANT AND TO TAKE IT UP AGAIN. FOR THIS IS WHAT MY FATHER HAS 00:28:18.167 --> 00:28:21.734 COMMANDED. THAT'S IN THE BIBLE FOR A REASON. HE LAID HIS LIFE 00:28:21.834 --> 00:28:24.634 DOWN. WE KNOW IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THE FORESHADOWING OF 00:28:24.734 --> 00:28:26.934 THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB. WE KNOW THAT'S WHAT JOHN THE BAPTIST 00:28:27.034 --> 00:28:29.634 CALLS JESUS, BEHOLD THE LAMB WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE 00:28:29.734 --> 00:28:35.267 WORLD. THE JEWS DID NOT KILL JESUS. MY SIN KILLED JESUS, OUR 00:28:35.367 --> 00:28:39.100 SIN. ANYONE WHO'S WATCHING, YOUR SIN KILLED JESUS. IT'S NOT TO 00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:42.333 BLAME A PEOPLE GROUP TO STIR UP A HATRED THAT GOD -- OF A 00:28:42.433 --> 00:28:44.734 PEOPLE THAT GOD HAS CHOSEN. BUT IT'S TO UNDERSTAND THAT OUR SIN 00:28:44.834 --> 00:28:47.833 PUT HIM ON THE CROSS, AND HE LAID HIS LIFE DOWN FOR US AS A 00:28:47.933 --> 00:28:52.100 SACRIFICIAL LAMB, SO THAT WE MAY BE FORGIVEN AND HAVE 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.567 ETERNAL LIFE. AND SO THERE SHOULD BE NO HATRED TOWARDS THE 00:28:55.667 --> 00:28:57.867 JEWISH PEOPLE IN REGARDS TO THAT, BECAUSE GOD STATES 00:28:57.967 --> 00:29:01.034 CLEARLY IN HIS WORD, I LAID MY LIFE DOWN FOR YOU. HE WAS THE 00:29:01.134 --> 00:29:05.667 SACRIFICE. AND IT SAYS, FOR THE SON OF MAN, THIS IS IN MARK, 00:29:05.767 --> 00:29:08.367 CAME NOT TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE OTHERS. THERE'S THAT LAMB 00:29:08.467 --> 00:29:12.234 NATURE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY. HE 00:29:12.334 --> 00:29:15.967 SACRIFICED HIS LIFE FOR US. >> YEAH, YEAH. 00:29:16.067 --> 00:29:20.400 AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE STORYLINE OF CHRIST KILLERS, 00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:24.100 THE EPITHET, THE BLAME, WHAT I GREW UP WITH IN NEW YORK, 00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:27.334 I MEAN, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THAT WAS NORMAL IS, 00:29:27.434 --> 00:29:28.200 YOU KNOW, HAS -- >> HASN'T THAT BEEN A THING FOR 00:29:28.300 --> 00:29:29.867 THOUSANDS OF YEARS? >> YES. 00:29:29.967 --> 00:29:31.234 >> WHICH IS HORRIBLE. AND THAT'S ONE OF 00:29:31.334 --> 00:29:34.433 THE THINGS THAT'S CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH ANTI-SEMITISM. 00:29:34.533 --> 00:29:36.267 >> BAD TEACHING, BAD DOCTRINE. 00:29:36.367 --> 00:29:39.500 >> IT'S DOCTRINE OF DEVILS THAT GOES BACK TO THE VERY, VERY 00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:42.233 EARLY CHURCH, WHEN THE CHURCH SPLIT FROM THE JEWISH ROOTS OF 00:29:42.333 --> 00:29:45.600 THE FAITH. AND THEN 325 A.D. WHEN CONSTANTINE MADE IT 00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:49.133 OFFICIAL THAT WE'RE NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE. YOU KNOW, THE 00:29:49.233 --> 00:29:52.267 WHOLE FIRST CHURCH WAS JEWISH. IT WASN'T UNTIL ACTS 10 00:29:52.367 --> 00:29:53.900 WHEN -- >> BASED IN JERUSALEM. 00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:57.166 >> BASED IN JERUSALEM. ALL JEWISH UNTIL ACTS CHAPTER 10, 00:29:57.266 --> 00:29:58.900 AND THEN ACTS 15. WE SAID, YOU 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:03.366 DON'T HAVE TO GET CIRCUMCISED. YOU'RE WELCOME. 00:30:03.466 --> 00:30:04.800 YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF THEN GREW 00:30:04.900 --> 00:30:08.333 BECAUSE GOD WAS GOD SO MERCIFUL, WHICH YOU ALLUDED TO. 00:30:08.433 --> 00:30:10.133 HE'S SO MERCIFUL THAT HE BROUGHT THE MESSAGE OF 00:30:10.233 --> 00:30:13.534 SALVATION TO THE WHOLE WORLD. BUT IT STARTED WITH THE JEWS. 00:30:13.634 --> 00:30:16.934 BUT WHEN THAT DIVISION CAME BETWEEN THE HEBREW ROOTS OF THE 00:30:17.034 --> 00:30:19.934 FAITH, SO-CALLED AND THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, WHICH BECAME 00:30:20.034 --> 00:30:22.900 A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION, ALWAYS A REMNANT IN EVERY 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.900 GENERATION, ALWAYS A BORN AGAIN, SPIRIT-FILLED REMNANT IN EVERY 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:29.634 GENERATION. I HAVE NO HEARTBURN ABOUT THAT. BUT THAT DIVISION 00:30:29.734 --> 00:30:34.233 IS NOW WHAT GOD'S TRYING TO HEAL. SO NO WONDER THE VOICES 00:30:34.333 --> 00:30:37.534 THAT ARE RISING UP ARE SO ADAMANT AND SO VIOLENT AGAINST 00:30:37.634 --> 00:30:40.900 THE JEWS, BECAUSE TRYING TO BRING THAT DIVISION IN THE BODY 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:44.567 TO COME, THE BODY OF CHRIST TODAY, AND ALSO THE BODY TO 00:30:44.667 --> 00:30:47.567 COME, WHICH IS JEWS AND GENTILES WORSHIPING TOGETHER, 00:30:47.667 --> 00:30:52.334 THAT'S THE HEART OF GOD. [ SPEAKING HEBREW ] 00:30:52.434 --> 00:30:54.467 BEHOLD HOW GOOD AND HOW PLEASANT IT IS 00:30:54.567 --> 00:30:56.566 WHEN THE BRETHREN DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY. 00:30:56.666 --> 00:31:00.100 GOD SAID IT THROUGH DAVID IN PSALM 133 AND THEN HE 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.500 SAID, JESUS SAID IT HIMSELF IN JOHN 17 THAT WE MAY BE ONE, AS 00:31:03.600 --> 00:31:06.900 YOU AND I ARE ONE. HE SAID, GO TO THE FATHER, RIGHT, SO THAT 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:10.467 UNITY IS WHERE GOD COMMANDS THE BLESSING. SO OF COURSE, THE 00:31:10.567 --> 00:31:15.367 ENEMY IS STIRRED UP TO TRY TO STIR UP THESE REALLY IGNORANT 00:31:15.467 --> 00:31:21.466 VOICES TO TRY TO PEEL OFF CHRISTIANS FROM THEIR NATURAL, 00:31:21.566 --> 00:31:24.333 NATURAL UNDERSTANDING, SUPERNATURALLY NATURAL 00:31:24.433 --> 00:31:26.934 UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN JEWS 00:31:27.034 --> 00:31:29.234 AND CHRISTIANS. >> AND TO LOVE THE JEWISH 00:31:29.334 --> 00:31:32.500 PEOPLE DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE HATE ANYBODY ELSE. GOD SO LOVED 00:31:32.600 --> 00:31:37.034 THE WHOLE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THE 00:31:37.134 --> 00:31:40.833 PALESTINIANS, FOR THE MUSLIMS, FOR ALL PEOPLE. AND I 00:31:40.933 --> 00:31:45.200 WANT TO SAY ALSO, JERUSALEM IS HOLY TO THREE, BUT PROMISED TO 00:31:45.300 --> 00:31:48.867 ONE. I MEAN, JERUSALEM IS NOT APARTHEID STATE. YOU HAVE 00:31:48.967 --> 00:31:52.733 MUSLIMS THERE, ARABS THERE, EVEN IN THE PARLIAMENT, AND YOU 00:31:52.833 --> 00:31:56.600 HAVE CHRISTIANS THAT ARE FREE TO GO AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT 00:31:56.700 --> 00:32:02.634 TO DO AS THE PILGRIMS GET TO DO. AND ACTUALLY, THEY'RE -- 00:32:02.734 --> 00:32:05.000 THEY'RE INVITED AND HONORED BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT WE HAVE 00:32:05.100 --> 00:32:09.167 A SHARED DESTINY. SO IT'S SO IMPORTANT. I MEAN, WHEN 00:32:09.267 --> 00:32:13.067 WE FIRST CAME TO THE LORD AND RECEIVED THIS CALL, THE HOLY 00:32:13.167 --> 00:32:17.134 SPIRIT ALSO SPOKE TO US AND SAID, YOU CANNOT -- YOU CANNOT 00:32:17.234 --> 00:32:21.234 FULFILL THIS CALL UNLESS YOU LOVE YOUR ARAB COUSINS. SO WE 00:32:21.334 --> 00:32:25.667 HAVE ALWAYS MADE IT A POINT IN OUR MINISTRY TO SUPPORT ARAB 00:32:25.767 --> 00:32:32.300 MINISTRIES AND TO SEEK THE GOOD OF THEM TOO, THE PERSIANS AND 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:37.234 PALESTINIANS AND GAZANS AND THE DRUZE, YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE 00:32:37.334 --> 00:32:41.233 BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THAT GOD HAS MADE IN HIS IMAGE. BUT EACH 00:32:41.333 --> 00:32:46.500 NATION HAS A SPECIFIC CALLING AND PURPOSE AND DESTINY, AND WE 00:32:46.600 --> 00:32:49.334 CAN'T NEGATE WHAT GOD'S DESTINY IS ON ISRAEL. 00:32:49.434 --> 00:32:51.267 >> YEAH. >> YEAH, BECAUSE IT SAYS AND 00:32:51.367 --> 00:32:54.767 YOU'RE GOING BACK TO -- THIS IS WHY I WANT TO ENCOURAGE 00:32:54.867 --> 00:32:58.633 BELIEVERS. IF YOU'RE HATING SOMEONE, THAT'S NOT BIBLICAL, 00:32:58.733 --> 00:33:01.433 IT SAYS YOU HAVE HEARD THE LAW SAYS LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR 00:33:01.533 --> 00:33:04.633 AND HATE YOUR ENEMY. BUT JESUS SAYS, BUT I SAY, LOVE YOUR 00:33:04.733 --> 00:33:07.334 ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU. AND THAT'S WHY 00:33:07.434 --> 00:33:11.600 YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU HAVE LOVED ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS, 00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:13.934 BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOD CALLS US TO DO. 00:33:14.034 --> 00:33:15.633 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> YEAH, WELL. 00:33:15.733 --> 00:33:18.033 >> NOT EASY. >> IMPERFECTLY, I WAS ABOUT TO 00:33:18.133 --> 00:33:20.600 SAY. >> EASIER SAID THAN DONE. 00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:21.500 >> YEAH, WE HAVE DONE IT IMPERFECTLY. 00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:22.800 >> THAT'S THE CALL OF THE KINGDOM. 00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:25.367 WE KEEP REFERENCING EZEKIEL 36, AND I HAVE NOT 00:33:25.467 --> 00:33:29.167 HEARD ANYONE ONLINE QUOTE THIS SECTION OF SCRIPTURE, BUT THIS 00:33:29.267 --> 00:33:32.034 IS EVERYTHING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE MIRACLE THAT OF 00:33:32.134 --> 00:33:35.600 PEOPLE 2,000 YEARS FROM MULTIPLE NATIONS THROUGH MULTIPLE 00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:39.400 SEVERE PERSECUTIONS, INQUISITION, THE HOLOCAUST, 00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:42.267 WHAT IS THE ONE IN RUSSIA? >> POGROMS. 00:33:42.367 --> 00:33:45.333 >> A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN, EVEN KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE. 00:33:45.433 --> 00:33:47.100 PEOPLE THINK JUST LIKE THE HOLOCAUST. 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:49.066 >> THAT'S HOW I GOT TO AMERICA. 00:33:49.166 --> 00:33:51.700 >> OH, YEAH. MY FAMILY LEFT RUSSIA AND POLAND 00:33:51.800 --> 00:33:53.667 BECAUSE OF THE POGROMS THEY HAD. THEY CAME TO AMERICA 00:33:53.767 --> 00:33:57.500 AT THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY. MY DAD WAS BORN IN AMERICA. 00:33:57.600 --> 00:33:59.900 >> AND THE CRUSADES TOO, YOU SAID THE INQUISITION. 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.100 >> YEAH. 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:05.733 >> THAT'S A TON. AND I MEAN TO STILL REMAIN. AND SO 00:34:05.833 --> 00:34:09.600 GOD SAYS, AND THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I WANT TO 00:34:09.700 --> 00:34:12.167 MAKE CLEAR WHEN I'M READING THE SCRIPTURE AND IT SAYS IT IN THE 00:34:12.267 --> 00:34:15.167 SCRIPTURE BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY, WELL, THE JEWISH PEOPLE DO THIS, 00:34:15.267 --> 00:34:18.000 AND ISRAEL DOES THIS, AND THEY'RE BAD. WELL, GOD'S NOT 00:34:18.100 --> 00:34:22.067 EVEN DOING IT FOR THEM. IT SAYS, FOR THE GLORY AND HONOR OF MY 00:34:22.167 --> 00:34:25.200 NAME, BECAUSE HE IS FAITHFUL. THERE'S A BIBLE VERSE THAT SAYS, 00:34:25.300 --> 00:34:28.767 EVEN IF WE ARE FAITHLESS, HE REMAINS FAITHFUL BECAUSE THAT'S 00:34:28.867 --> 00:34:33.600 WHO HE IS. HE'S A KEEPER OF HIS WORD. PRAISE GOD. SO IT SAYS IN 00:34:33.700 --> 00:34:35.200 EZEKIEL 36, AND THIS IS PROPHESIED THOUSANDS AND 00:34:35.300 --> 00:34:38.267 THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENED. IT SAYS, 00:34:38.367 --> 00:34:40.867 THEREFORE, GIVE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL THIS MESSAGE FROM THE 00:34:40.967 --> 00:34:43.767 SOVEREIGN LORD, I AM BRINGING YOU BACK, BUT NOT BECAUSE YOU 00:34:43.867 --> 00:34:47.300 DESERVE IT.
