WEBVTT 00:07.110 --> 00:09.490 Hello and welcome to Z3 News. 00:09.670 --> 00:14.090 I'm James Bailey and today is Wednesday, December 12, 2018. 00:14.850 --> 00:20.510 Today's topic is Satan's five favorite lies about the Jewish people. 00:21.330 --> 00:27.170 And the way I got started on this was listening to so many Christian, 00:27.310 --> 00:34.690 quote-unquote, Christian voices out there claiming that the Jewish people are no 00:34.690 --> 00:41.290 longer God's people and God's done with them and they don't stop there. 00:41.310 --> 00:48.330 But they are launching daily, constant attacks against anyone who supports 00:48.330 --> 00:50.170 modern-day Israel. 00:50.850 --> 00:57.490 Now these Christians are clever in their attacks because they would never come out 00:57.490 --> 01:01.170 and say that they're against the Jewish people. 01:01.530 --> 01:09.270 They're just against modern Israel and the Jewish people taking possession of that 01:09.270 --> 01:09.810 land. 01:10.610 --> 01:17.130 And so they come out against what they call Zionism, which is the move to have 01:17.130 --> 01:23.430 the Jewish people in possession of the land of their forefathers, the land of 01:23.430 --> 01:29.210 Judea and Samaria, and especially the city of Jerusalem. 01:30.290 --> 01:36.650 And you know, the Bible warns repeatedly about deception in the last days when the 01:36.650 --> 01:41.190 disciples asked Jesus to tell them about the signs of his coming. 01:41.490 --> 01:45.130 He repeatedly talked about false prophets. 01:45.630 --> 01:51.470 And that's not just referring to the gift of prophecy, but false teachers, 01:52.250 --> 01:53.510 liars, deceivers. 01:54.610 --> 02:02.190 And one of the greatest, most central parts of God's end-time plans from the 02:02.190 --> 02:06.590 Scriptures, regardless of what anyone thinks about it, from the Scriptures, 02:07.050 --> 02:15.810 Israel and Jerusalem are at the very center of his plans for these last days. 02:16.230 --> 02:19.890 Jesus is not coming back to New York or London or Rome. 02:20.130 --> 02:22.670 He's coming back to Jerusalem. 02:24.190 --> 02:30.550 And so people marvel at how this little tiny land and this little tiny people 02:30.550 --> 02:35.130 group, it's only about 15 million Jewish people in the whole world. 02:35.210 --> 02:38.970 You could fit them all smaller than the population of Florida. 02:40.290 --> 02:44.470 But yet the whole world seems to be obsessed with hating them. 02:45.430 --> 02:50.550 And whatever news is going on around this little stretch of land, this little 02:50.550 --> 02:56.130 stretch of barren land, and people look at this and scratch their head. 02:56.590 --> 02:58.450 And they wonder, who cares? 02:58.550 --> 03:01.550 Why is everyone so concerned about Israel? 03:01.650 --> 03:06.190 Why don't we hear about the Congo in Africa or other parts of the world? 03:06.190 --> 03:11.270 We don't hear about those places, but yet Israel is daily making 03:11.270 --> 03:14.050 international news headlines. 03:14.610 --> 03:19.670 And it's because of what's happening behind the scenes in the unseen realm, 03:20.070 --> 03:21.490 the realm of the Spirit. 03:22.410 --> 03:28.870 And when we see the Scriptures telling us of God's plans and telling us of Satan's 03:28.870 --> 03:34.990 schemes for these last days, then we can begin to understand why there is a 03:34.990 --> 03:38.450 spiritual war centered right there. 03:38.670 --> 03:44.770 And no coincidence that God brought salvation to the whole world through the 03:44.770 --> 03:48.090 Jewish people in the land of Israel. 03:48.370 --> 03:54.510 It's been central all throughout history, and it's going to be central all the way 03:54.510 --> 03:55.850 until the end. 03:57.210 --> 04:03.210 And so if you want to avoid being swept up in the deception that's coming, 04:03.690 --> 04:08.250 Isaiah talked about gross darkness is going to cover the earth. 04:08.930 --> 04:13.610 And then we have another warning from the Apostle Paul where he's telling there's 04:13.610 --> 04:18.890 going to come, before the Lord returns, a great falling away from the faith. 04:19.650 --> 04:24.230 And he describes it as people paying attention to deceitful spirits, 04:24.430 --> 04:26.210 doctrines of demons. 04:27.630 --> 04:33.270 And so we have to be aware of the schemes of the evil one to deceive us. 04:33.590 --> 04:35.810 There are doctrines of demons. 04:36.510 --> 04:38.650 There are deceitful spirits. 04:38.790 --> 04:40.330 These are lying spirits. 04:40.910 --> 04:45.830 And we're being bombarded with these lies on a regular basis. 04:46.970 --> 04:52.470 And now Satan knows that we keep our guards up around certain sources, 04:52.970 --> 04:58.030 and we tune them out, and he can't reach us through them. 04:58.590 --> 05:03.790 And so what he does, and what he's always done throughout history, is he tries to 05:03.790 --> 05:09.690 speak through our most trusted sources, our own Christian leaders. 05:10.430 --> 05:16.850 And what I see happening is Christian voices are spreading lies about Israel, 05:17.210 --> 05:23.090 about the Jewish people, and they give some lame reason to back it up. 05:23.770 --> 05:29.710 And rather than dig into the Scriptures to check it out, the majority of people just 05:29.710 --> 05:34.490 nod their head and say, oh, all right, I guess that's the way it is. 05:34.970 --> 05:42.470 And if you're not careful, many Christians are going to find themselves fighting for 05:42.470 --> 05:43.510 the wrong team. 05:45.050 --> 05:52.490 And because Israel is such a central part of God's end-time plans, it's so important 05:52.490 --> 05:58.930 as Christians to get on the right side of this issue and to be aware of the lies, 05:59.050 --> 06:05.070 to be aware of the schemes of the devil, so that we are not fighting against God. 06:05.970 --> 06:10.550 And so this requires us to know the Scriptures. 06:11.150 --> 06:16.350 That's our defense, so that if we know the Scriptures, if we know the truth, 06:16.670 --> 06:20.210 then when the lies come, we can immediately recognize it. 06:21.490 --> 06:27.390 And so I've been amazed over these past few years as, you know, now we have such 06:27.390 --> 06:34.070 access to information and a bombardment of all the Christian voices you want. 06:34.310 --> 06:38.110 You can just get on the internet and find whatever you want. 06:38.450 --> 06:45.230 But I've been amazed at seeing these constant attacks against Israel and 06:45.230 --> 06:46.870 against the Jewish people. 06:47.250 --> 06:51.370 And of course, they never claim to be against the Jewish people. 06:51.490 --> 06:59.210 They claim to be against the Zionists who promote the Jewish people living in the 06:59.210 --> 07:01.150 land of their forefathers. 07:01.830 --> 07:09.630 But yet, in actuality, they are very subtly and very deceptively coming against 07:09.630 --> 07:16.910 the Jewish people, discrediting God's plans, and causing confusion where people 07:16.910 --> 07:23.370 are aligning themselves against God's people, against God's end-time plans, 07:23.370 --> 07:27.770 and they're actually taking sides with the enemy. 07:28.450 --> 07:34.210 And so this has bothered me, and I wanted to just really dig into this topic and 07:34.210 --> 07:36.750 really see from the Scriptures. 07:37.310 --> 07:39.550 Let me know myself. 07:39.810 --> 07:41.350 Let me see it myself. 07:41.930 --> 07:48.410 What does the Bible say about the Jewish people, about God's plans for them? 07:48.810 --> 07:55.990 And as I dug into it, I was amazed at how crystal clear this topic is. 07:56.150 --> 07:58.890 It's repeated multiple times. 07:59.450 --> 08:07.030 I found 44 Scriptural proofs that God is not done with the Jewish people. 08:07.530 --> 08:13.810 And I'm talking about the flesh and blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac, 08:13.990 --> 08:14.550 and Jacob. 08:14.710 --> 08:20.130 And I know that's going to rile some people up, and I can just hear them in 08:20.130 --> 08:23.110 their minds saying, yeah, but, yeah, but this, whatever. 08:24.490 --> 08:26.390 I'm talking about the Scriptures. 08:27.050 --> 08:33.830 I'm talking about 44 Scriptural proofs that those people, those very people, 08:33.990 --> 08:38.850 the flesh and blood descendants... I'm not talking about spiritual Israel right now. 08:38.910 --> 08:41.030 I'm talking about flesh and blood Israel. 08:42.090 --> 08:47.970 On this particular podcast, I'm going to focus on Satan's five favorite lies 08:47.970 --> 08:49.290 against the Jewish people. 08:49.390 --> 08:55.370 I'm not going to get into all those 44 Scriptural proofs, but I am going to do a 08:55.370 --> 08:59.590 follow-up podcast where I'm not going to be able to share all of them in the 08:59.590 --> 09:07.630 podcast, but I'll pick out some of them, and then I'll provide a link to a file 09:07.630 --> 09:11.490 where you can download and study them further if you want to see them all. 09:12.810 --> 09:18.990 But another reason I got started digging into this is a couple years back, 09:19.030 --> 09:19.930 I'd had a dream. 09:20.290 --> 09:22.070 I think it's been about three years ago. 09:22.670 --> 09:29.090 I had a dream that showed me the end-time plans that God has for his people, 09:29.770 --> 09:32.090 and I mean his Christian people. 09:32.210 --> 09:36.830 I'm talking now his people in the spiritual sense, the born-again believers. 09:37.870 --> 09:43.310 And it was a powerful dream, and as I sought God about it, I wrote it up, 09:43.350 --> 09:46.890 and I was trying to understand what God wanted me to do with this. 09:47.270 --> 09:53.210 And I was surprised that in my prayer time, I felt like God was showing me to go 09:53.210 --> 09:55.510 and study the Scriptures on Israel. 09:56.290 --> 10:01.230 And I was surprised because there was nothing about Israel in the dream. 10:01.330 --> 10:02.650 It was all about the church. 10:03.410 --> 10:05.990 So I'm thinking, what does that have to do with that? 10:06.310 --> 10:11.450 But what he was showing me was that Israel, as revealed in the Scriptures, 10:11.750 --> 10:18.930 and his plans for Israel, as revealed in the Scriptures, reveals his plans for the 10:18.930 --> 10:19.350 church. 10:19.630 --> 10:25.390 Because all throughout history, and even today, and all the way until the 10:25.390 --> 10:30.730 time of the end, there are parallels between his plans for the Jewish people 10:30.730 --> 10:32.970 and his plans for the Christian people. 10:34.370 --> 10:39.450 And I want to share briefly one of my favorite, all-time favorite prophecies, 10:39.730 --> 10:44.390 because it's already come to pass, it's already done in completion, 10:44.790 --> 10:51.130 is this prophecy by Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel, which he gave back in the year 10:51.130 --> 10:54.970 1217, so about 800 years ago. 10:55.990 --> 11:00.230 And I like this, and I'm sharing it here because I think it's a great example of 11:00.230 --> 11:08.210 showing how Israel is directly tied in with our future of those who followed the 11:08.210 --> 11:14.410 Messiah, Jesus Christ, because Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel was shown the start date, 11:14.690 --> 11:22.910 the starting event for the messianic end times, is when the Jewish nation, 11:23.030 --> 11:26.770 the Jewish people, take possession of Jerusalem. 11:27.990 --> 11:33.470 And so as a Christian, we're all interested in knowing when is our Savior 11:33.470 --> 11:34.990 going to return? 11:35.210 --> 11:36.730 He's promised to come back. 11:37.070 --> 11:42.570 And here we have this amazing prophecy, which as I said, it's already been 11:42.570 --> 11:49.130 fulfilled, because what he was telling us is a time is going to come when the 11:49.130 --> 11:51.750 Ottoman Empire conquers Jerusalem. 11:52.230 --> 11:57.050 And he said they're going to reign, rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees, 11:57.270 --> 11:59.110 which is 400 years. 11:59.930 --> 12:01.050 That's already happened. 12:01.130 --> 12:02.030 It's been fulfilled. 12:02.710 --> 12:09.770 It came to pass exactly 300 years after the rabbi received the prophecy. 12:10.170 --> 12:17.130 So he received it in 1217, but in 1517, the Ottomans conquered Jerusalem. 12:18.010 --> 12:24.290 And just as he said, they ruled over it for 400 years, eight jubilees. 12:24.750 --> 12:30.210 They lost possession when the British drove them out in 1917. 12:31.630 --> 12:38.890 Now, another interesting parallel is in the year 1517, when the Ottomans took 12:38.890 --> 12:46.310 Jerusalem, a Catholic priest living in Germany discovered from the scriptures, 12:46.550 --> 12:52.110 from his own study of the scriptures, which were at the time only available in 12:52.110 --> 12:56.350 Latin, so hardly anyone had access to the scriptures. 12:56.530 --> 13:02.770 But he studied and found that they were contrary to the teachings of the Catholic 13:02.770 --> 13:03.210 Church. 13:03.310 --> 13:12.230 And he posted a list of 95 points, his 95 theses, challenging the authority 13:12.230 --> 13:19.810 of the Pope and the Catholic Church by exposing their false teachings, 13:20.250 --> 13:22.610 their unscriptural teachings. 13:23.420 --> 13:26.370 And that was a declaration of war. 13:27.230 --> 13:32.910 And so you see at the exact same time that you have this major shift going on in 13:32.910 --> 13:38.610 Jerusalem with the Ottomans taking possession, you have this major shift, 13:38.990 --> 13:42.910 the start of the Protestant Reformation in the church. 13:43.730 --> 13:49.590 And the next part of Rabbi Judah ben Samuel's prophecy, he saw that afterwards, 13:50.210 --> 13:55.770 when the Ottomans are driven out, Jerusalem would become a no man's land for 13:55.770 --> 13:58.010 one jubilee, which is 50 years. 13:58.690 --> 14:02.770 And that's exactly what happened in the year 1967. 14:03.210 --> 14:13.630 So you have 50 years from 1917 to 1967, Jerusalem came into the possession of the 14:13.630 --> 14:14.410 Jewish people. 14:15.130 --> 14:21.350 And this is the event that he said would signify the beginning of the messianic end 14:21.350 --> 14:21.770 time. 14:22.710 --> 14:30.850 So there you see Israel, the events in Israel as markers, letting us know the 14:30.850 --> 14:34.670 time, the messianic end times have started. 14:35.290 --> 14:42.690 And that is huge because Jesus told us in Matthew 24, that the generation that sees 14:42.690 --> 14:49.330 these things coming to pass will not all pass away until all these things are 14:49.330 --> 14:49.970 fulfilled. 14:50.570 --> 14:56.570 So that's why this prophecy of Rabbi Judah ben Samuel is so important to me. 14:56.750 --> 15:02.270 I like the fact that everything he said would happen already happened. 15:02.470 --> 15:03.850 It's already been fulfilled. 15:04.330 --> 15:10.350 And I share that because I just want to point out that if we want to be aligned 15:10.350 --> 15:16.890 with God, it's important that we be aligned with the most central part of his 15:16.890 --> 15:19.050 plans for these last days. 15:19.690 --> 15:25.170 And if we want to stay aligned with him, we have to understand what he says about 15:25.170 --> 15:25.830 these things. 15:26.550 --> 15:33.130 And that's why I want to cover these five, Satan's five favorite lies about the 15:33.130 --> 15:33.870 Jewish people. 15:34.510 --> 15:40.370 And you'll notice that when these attacks are launched, often against the Jewish 15:40.370 --> 15:47.270 people, the people who are attacking will say, Oh, no, I'm not against the Jewish 15:47.270 --> 15:47.770 people. 15:48.050 --> 15:49.950 I'm just against the Zionists. 15:49.990 --> 15:58.290 And it's very clever because what they're doing is giving themselves permission to 15:58.290 --> 15:59.930 attack the Jewish people. 16:01.270 --> 16:08.170 And so one of the five favorite lies is to say that God is done with them because 16:08.170 --> 16:09.750 they're unrighteous. 16:10.090 --> 16:13.830 They have homosexual parades in Tel Aviv. 16:13.970 --> 16:19.470 Tel Aviv is one of the world's best known centers for homosexuality. 16:19.570 --> 16:22.810 They have a huge homosexual population there. 16:23.790 --> 16:25.290 And that's just one example. 16:25.490 --> 16:31.250 But there's all sorts of examples that they point to of the unrighteousness of 16:31.250 --> 16:32.090 the Jewish people. 16:32.210 --> 16:37.310 And they say, well, therefore, surely God is is not going to be fighting 16:37.310 --> 16:38.790 in behalf of these people. 16:39.490 --> 16:46.010 So I'm going to go through the scriptures and show that that's not true on each of 16:46.010 --> 16:46.650 these points. 16:46.730 --> 16:53.390 So the second one is they say the Jewish people are not truly Jews because they're 16:53.390 --> 16:55.450 only children of the flesh. 16:55.630 --> 17:01.250 And the Bible has various scriptures where it talks about, you know, the true Jews 17:01.250 --> 17:02.670 are children of the Spirit. 17:02.810 --> 17:03.670 And that's true. 17:04.470 --> 17:07.550 But I'm not talking about spiritual Jews here. 17:07.610 --> 17:10.110 I'm talking about those children of the flesh. 17:10.470 --> 17:17.430 And this is an area of so much confusion because the Bible talks about both the 17:17.430 --> 17:19.770 children of the flesh and the children of the Spirit. 17:20.030 --> 17:21.850 And we have to understand the context. 17:22.190 --> 17:29.110 And if you just read the passage and look at the context of it, it's clear when it's 17:29.110 --> 17:33.690 talking about the spiritual children of God and when it's talking about the 17:33.690 --> 17:35.830 children of the flesh, it makes that clear. 17:37.130 --> 17:44.030 And a third lie that I hear often is they'll say, well, those Jewish people 17:44.030 --> 17:49.210 living in Israel today, those are not even Jews because they're not from the tribe of 17:49.210 --> 17:49.610 Judah. 17:50.470 --> 17:51.790 And I'm going to explain that. 17:51.930 --> 17:56.410 There's scriptures clearly proving that that's not true. 17:57.450 --> 18:03.990 And the fourth point is they say the Jewish people, it doesn't matter about 18:03.990 --> 18:08.430 them today because the Bible says there's neither Jew nor Greek. 18:08.790 --> 18:10.430 I'm going to go through that. 18:10.730 --> 18:17.090 And then the final point is they say the Jewish people today are the synagogue of 18:17.090 --> 18:20.630 Satan that Jesus talked about in Revelation. 18:21.410 --> 18:22.890 That's not true either. 18:23.190 --> 18:25.870 So I'm going to go through these points one by one. 18:26.730 --> 18:32.090 And let's begin with the first one where the claim is made that God is done with 18:32.090 --> 18:34.830 the Jewish people because they are unrighteous. 18:35.790 --> 18:43.770 And when it comes to this topic of Zionism, the attackers will point to all 18:43.770 --> 18:53.690 sorts of examples of how the Zionists are evil people, making up evil schemes that 18:53.690 --> 18:54.870 hurt lots of people. 18:55.550 --> 18:58.270 And they're exactly right. 18:58.370 --> 18:59.190 That's the truth. 18:59.190 --> 19:04.990 There are lots of evil people advancing this Zionist cause. 19:06.110 --> 19:14.050 In fact, Satan himself has his eyes on Jerusalem because his plan, he wants to 19:14.050 --> 19:15.310 exalt himself. 19:15.870 --> 19:20.190 As it says in Isaiah, he says, I will ascend to heaven. 19:20.410 --> 19:23.270 I will raise my throne above the stars of God. 19:23.610 --> 19:27.270 I will sit on the Mount of Assembly in the recesses of the north. 19:27.430 --> 19:29.750 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. 19:29.910 --> 19:32.350 I will make myself like the Most High. 19:32.610 --> 19:35.010 Satan wants to rule from Mount Zion. 19:35.850 --> 19:40.950 He's seen that God has established his plans to rule from Jerusalem. 19:41.830 --> 19:48.910 And so Satan wants to put himself in place of God, and he wants to occupy that place. 19:49.170 --> 19:54.590 And this is the scheme of Satan that's revealed by the prophet Daniel in Daniel 19:54.590 --> 19:55.550 chapter 9. 19:56.330 --> 20:03.870 And we see there in Daniel 9.26, the angel Gabriel explains to Daniel that 20:03.870 --> 20:09.630 there is coming the destruction of the city of Jerusalem, the destruction of the 20:09.630 --> 20:10.090 sanctuary. 20:11.570 --> 20:15.550 Now, Gabriel was not talking about the first temple because it had already been 20:15.550 --> 20:21.290 destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar by this time because Daniel was already living in 20:21.290 --> 20:21.710 Babylon. 20:21.710 --> 20:25.690 The Jewish people were already living in exile from their land. 20:26.090 --> 20:31.710 So he's talking about another temple, the second temple, which was built after 20:31.710 --> 20:33.130 they returned to their land. 20:33.770 --> 20:39.710 And he's letting Daniel know this temple, this second temple, is going to be 20:39.710 --> 20:40.090 destroyed. 20:40.310 --> 20:46.390 And he gives him a very important clue because he tells him the scheme of the 20:46.390 --> 20:53.030 enemy all the way through to the end by telling him the people of the prince who 20:53.030 --> 20:57.630 is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. 20:58.910 --> 21:04.350 And so today we have the benefit of hindsight to know that that prophecy was 21:04.350 --> 21:11.950 fulfilled in 70 AD when Roman armies destroyed the temple and the city of 21:11.950 --> 21:12.430 Jerusalem. 21:13.050 --> 21:19.370 And so therefore we know the Romans are the people to watch. 21:19.830 --> 21:22.990 That's a humongous important clue. 21:24.250 --> 21:31.310 And Gabriel reveals to Daniel the people of the prince who is to come. 21:31.990 --> 21:33.810 They're the ones who did this. 21:34.430 --> 21:44.010 So now he's giving us another prophecy of one who is to come later, who will be 21:44.010 --> 21:49.690 connected back to these same people who destroyed the temple and the sanctuary. 21:50.050 --> 21:54.970 And I've heard all sorts of confusion on this topic where people will say, 21:55.110 --> 21:59.190 well, it's not really the Romans because they had some people fighting within their 21:59.190 --> 22:01.290 ranks that were from Syria and blah blah blah. 22:01.510 --> 22:02.590 It was the Romans. 22:03.030 --> 22:05.010 This is a historical fact. 22:05.470 --> 22:07.390 The Romans, the Romans. 22:07.470 --> 22:09.190 It's always been about the Romans. 22:09.430 --> 22:11.190 And you can study it throughout history. 22:11.350 --> 22:12.410 And I've been doing this. 22:12.870 --> 22:19.630 But the Romans were the ones that sieged Jerusalem, that carried the spoils back to 22:19.630 --> 22:27.290 Rome and built the Arch of Triumph as a celebration of their victory over 22:27.290 --> 22:27.850 Jerusalem. 22:28.750 --> 22:32.850 And so these are the people that we need to watch. 22:32.930 --> 22:37.530 These are the people that if you study history throughout the centuries 22:37.530 --> 22:44.590 consistently, it's these people, the Romans, who have persecuted the Jewish 22:44.590 --> 22:51.750 people, exiled them, repeatedly attacked them and forced them to deny their faith, 22:51.850 --> 22:58.970 tried to separate them from any past history connection to their God and their 22:58.970 --> 22:59.470 faith. 23:00.610 --> 23:08.310 And then when Jesus Christ came and Christians came along, it was those same 23:08.310 --> 23:09.090 Roman people. 23:09.870 --> 23:11.790 And you can study it all throughout history. 23:12.470 --> 23:15.450 You can go on Wikipedia and read all day long about it. 23:16.030 --> 23:21.330 These Roman people have destroyed the people of God throughout history. 23:22.270 --> 23:28.190 And so this has been the scheme of Satan from the beginning throughout the 23:28.190 --> 23:28.650 centuries. 23:29.550 --> 23:33.490 And it should be no surprise that it's going to continue into the end. 23:33.570 --> 23:39.210 As he says, the people of the prince who is to come, this prince who is to come, 23:39.690 --> 23:43.510 will come with the full backing of Rome. 23:43.970 --> 23:46.810 And that's why today we see these prophecies. 23:47.090 --> 23:54.550 There are many people who are seeing the Pope is the one who will play the role of 23:54.550 --> 23:59.590 the false prophet propping up their front man, the Antichrist. 24:00.230 --> 24:06.830 And so there you have the full backing of Rome behind this man of sin, this coming 24:06.830 --> 24:07.590 prince. 24:08.650 --> 24:13.390 Now, if you really want to have your mind blown, which I've been having my mind 24:13.390 --> 24:19.510 blown a lot lately, thank God, because I needed it, is I'm learning about 24:19.510 --> 24:26.470 the connection between the history of the United States and the history of Rome's 24:26.470 --> 24:28.550 influence over our nation. 24:29.210 --> 24:34.950 And it is really amazing that this is happening and has been happening 24:34.950 --> 24:36.010 throughout our history. 24:36.810 --> 24:39.070 And it has been suppressed. 24:39.390 --> 24:40.890 It has been buried. 24:41.130 --> 24:45.810 It has been removed from our history books, even though many of our founding 24:45.810 --> 24:47.490 fathers warned about it. 24:47.890 --> 24:49.710 We haven't heard about it. 24:49.810 --> 24:51.570 I mean, I went to school. 24:52.010 --> 24:53.610 I graduated from high school. 24:53.750 --> 24:54.750 I went to college. 24:55.030 --> 24:56.430 I went to graduate school. 24:56.590 --> 24:58.110 I took classes in history. 24:58.270 --> 24:59.950 History was one of my favorite topics. 24:59.950 --> 25:05.370 I took lots of classes in American history, and I walk around just scratching 25:05.370 --> 25:07.830 my head in amazement like, what the heck? 25:08.330 --> 25:14.270 All those years I have never heard this stuff before, but yet it's been there all 25:14.270 --> 25:14.690 along. 25:15.810 --> 25:23.110 And so getting back to Daniel chapter 9 in verse 26, Gabriel makes a reference to the 25:23.110 --> 25:23.570 end. 25:24.050 --> 25:27.150 He says, "...even to the end there will be war. 25:27.490 --> 25:33.350 Desolations are determined." So repeatedly throughout Gabriel's explanation to 25:33.350 --> 25:35.810 Daniel, he makes references to the end. 25:36.050 --> 25:41.090 He's referring to the time of the end, and he's letting us know the schemes of 25:41.090 --> 25:47.250 the evil one, that Satan has tried so hard to keep his schemes hidden. 25:47.730 --> 25:50.170 He operates under cover of darkness. 25:51.130 --> 25:57.370 But here we have Gabriel exposing him to the light so that we can see and we can 25:57.370 --> 26:02.330 make the connection that at the time of the end, this one, this prince who is to 26:02.330 --> 26:05.230 come, is going to make a firm covenant with the many. 26:05.550 --> 26:10.030 He's going to make a covenant with the people of Israel because it's going to 26:10.030 --> 26:17.210 enable them to begin to make sacrifices and grain offerings again, which means 26:17.210 --> 26:19.290 they're going to have a place. 26:19.410 --> 26:26.510 They're going to be able to restore their Old Testament traditions of offering 26:26.510 --> 26:29.330 sacrifices in the temple. 26:30.550 --> 26:37.190 So this is an amazing prophecy because in the one verse, he's telling us the second 26:37.190 --> 26:38.130 temple is destroyed. 26:38.310 --> 26:43.490 In the very next verse, he's talking about another temple, another place is going to 26:43.490 --> 26:47.830 be provided where they're going to be able to have their grain offerings and 26:47.830 --> 26:49.990 sacrifices renewed again. 26:50.850 --> 26:54.270 And so there must be a third temple, a place for that to happen. 26:55.310 --> 27:02.230 And so I'm bringing this up because those who attack the Jewish people today, 27:02.730 --> 27:08.790 those who attack the Zionists claiming that they're unrighteous, I'm conceding 27:08.790 --> 27:09.450 the point. 27:10.050 --> 27:11.630 Yes, they are evil. 27:11.770 --> 27:20.370 In fact, Satan, this passage in Daniel is telling us that Satan himself has his eyes 27:20.370 --> 27:21.150 on Jerusalem. 27:21.910 --> 27:28.370 Satan has his eyes on building the temple, deceiving the Jewish people into 27:28.370 --> 27:33.690 rebuilding the temple, thinking that they're doing it for their own use so that 27:33.690 --> 27:40.050 they can reinstitute their own practices of the past when all along the scheme of 27:40.050 --> 27:46.970 Satan is to break his covenant, as it says in the same verse, that in the 27:46.970 --> 27:53.590 middle of the week, see it's a seven year covenant, a week of years, seven years, 27:54.030 --> 27:58.470 in the middle of the week, so after 42 months, three and a half years, 27:58.790 --> 28:03.810 he's going to break his covenant and he's going to put a stop to sacrifice and 28:03.810 --> 28:04.210 offerings. 28:04.990 --> 28:09.910 And he's going to say, thank you guys very much for building this beautiful temple, 28:10.250 --> 28:18.450 and I will now take it for my own self, and I will rule and establish my throne 28:18.450 --> 28:27.210 here in the temple, and I will be God on Mount Zion, and I will rule over the earth 28:27.210 --> 28:29.630 from here as the Almighty God. 28:30.910 --> 28:37.010 And this is what Daniel, Gabriel explained to Daniel, this is the extreme 28:37.010 --> 28:42.690 abomination, this is the peak climax moment of all sins. 28:42.890 --> 28:47.370 We've just been ramping up, and now we're ramping up at an accelerated pace, 28:47.450 --> 28:53.230 but this is the climax moment of sin upon the earth, the most blasphemous, 28:53.230 --> 29:01.970 blasphemous, the most abominable thing that man does in his 6,000 years of human 29:01.970 --> 29:07.710 history, and this is the trigger point from which all hell begins to break loose 29:07.710 --> 29:14.030 as the wrath of God is poured out on this unrepentant generation. 29:15.210 --> 29:20.750 And that's why Gabriel said that these abominations, these extreme abominations 29:20.750 --> 29:28.150 of this one who is to come, will make desolate, even until complete destruction. 29:29.070 --> 29:33.930 One that has been decreed, it's going to be poured out on this one who makes 29:33.930 --> 29:34.350 desolate. 29:35.190 --> 29:41.710 This act of abomination is going to bring God's wrath upon the world, and especially 29:41.710 --> 29:43.630 upon this one. 29:44.410 --> 29:53.930 But my point is, here you have the Antichrist himself promoting a deal to 29:53.930 --> 29:58.410 enable the Jewish people to build their temple. 29:59.730 --> 30:04.090 Now that's the ultimate act of Zionism. 30:04.750 --> 30:11.970 That's a great example, I think, of how evil the Zionist movement can be. 30:12.610 --> 30:17.390 Satan himself, the Antichrist himself, is behind it. 30:18.770 --> 30:24.690 And so this gets tricky because here we have God's plans centering on Jerusalem, 30:25.370 --> 30:28.650 and here we have Satan's schemes centering on Jerusalem. 30:29.150 --> 30:34.310 Here we have evil people promoting Zionism. 30:34.310 --> 30:36.350 You have the Rothschild family. 30:36.550 --> 30:43.010 You have all sorts of evil scheming going on with people who have no regard for 30:43.010 --> 30:43.750 human life. 30:44.370 --> 30:49.990 In fact, many of these financial elite, there's evidence that a lot of them are 30:49.990 --> 30:52.010 Satanic, Satan worshippers. 30:52.830 --> 30:57.850 These are bad folks, but a lot of them are some of the biggest supporters of Zionism. 30:58.450 --> 31:05.250 And so do we conclude that all of this is evil and we should not support the 31:05.250 --> 31:10.530 restoration of Israel, the occupation of the land by the Jewish people, 31:10.730 --> 31:12.850 and especially the city of Jerusalem? 31:13.570 --> 31:16.670 No, not at all, because that's God's plan. 31:17.170 --> 31:26.550 And God is so much greater than Satan that he's able to use Satan to accomplish even 31:26.550 --> 31:27.390 his own purposes. 31:27.390 --> 31:32.370 Just consider what happened when God sent his son into the world. 31:32.710 --> 31:41.470 God knew ahead of time that Satan would have his people murder Jesus, crucify him 31:41.470 --> 31:42.370 on the cross. 31:43.290 --> 31:50.770 So there you have an example where God used Satan to accomplish his purpose, 31:50.950 --> 31:56.490 because Satan made the biggest mistake he's ever made. 31:56.690 --> 32:03.570 And it even tells us in 1 Corinthians 2.8 that if Satan would have known what he was 32:03.570 --> 32:11.830 doing, he would never have crucified the Lord Jesus because it broke his power over 32:11.830 --> 32:12.330 death. 32:13.210 --> 32:18.890 Jesus took from him the keys of life and death that had been handed over to Satan 32:18.890 --> 32:23.790 when Adam and Eve bowed their knee and obeyed the serpent. 32:24.910 --> 32:28.290 And so for all that time, Satan had dominion. 32:28.750 --> 32:36.010 He had legal rights to planet Earth to rule over it, but Satan lost that by his 32:36.010 --> 32:37.890 mistake of killing Jesus. 32:38.400 --> 32:41.390 And he wouldn't do it again if he had the chance. 32:42.170 --> 32:43.610 That's what it says in the scriptures. 32:44.450 --> 32:45.670 But God knew he would. 32:46.370 --> 32:52.570 And so God, being so much greater and so much further ahead of Satan in his ability 32:52.570 --> 32:58.090 to see and know what's happening, that he tricked Satan into falling into 32:58.090 --> 32:59.690 the trap of killing Jesus. 33:00.470 --> 33:06.350 And so the point is we have to know what God has said he's going to do. 33:07.070 --> 33:12.590 And if God's plans are being fulfilled, even if they're being fulfilled through 33:12.590 --> 33:19.350 Satanic people, it doesn't really matter because we can be on board with God and we 33:19.350 --> 33:24.410 don't want to take sides against God just because these people are unrighteous. 33:25.190 --> 33:30.350 And this is a humongous point that's been used against the Jewish people throughout 33:30.350 --> 33:39.390 history, justifying murdering them in mass numbers because they are unrighteous. 33:40.050 --> 33:44.830 They are the ones who crucified the Lord, even though it was the Roman soldiers who 33:44.830 --> 33:46.190 carried out the execution. 33:46.970 --> 33:53.670 It was the Jewish people who shouted, crucify him, his blood shall be on us and 33:53.670 --> 33:54.550 on our children. 33:55.430 --> 33:58.550 That's Matthew 27, 17 through 26. 33:59.890 --> 34:05.690 Throughout history, the enemies of the Jewish people have used that as an excuse 34:05.690 --> 34:11.930 to discredit them, to prove that God's finished with them and it's still 34:11.930 --> 34:13.330 happening today. 34:13.630 --> 34:17.570 You can go to a brand new broadcast today. 34:18.170 --> 34:21.570 I'm sure someone will be doing it because it's every day. 34:21.730 --> 34:24.290 It's a relentless barrage of attacks. 34:25.030 --> 34:31.430 And this is their number one favorite justification for God being done with 34:31.430 --> 34:31.930 these people. 34:32.090 --> 34:39.690 And it's just not true because God's plans for the Jewish people have nothing to do 34:39.690 --> 34:41.190 with their righteousness. 34:42.450 --> 34:48.290 And that is very good news for them because if it was, they'd be in big 34:48.290 --> 34:48.750 trouble. 34:49.790 --> 34:52.450 But his plans are not based on them. 34:53.250 --> 34:59.350 And he tells us repeatedly in scriptures, his plans are based on his faithfulness, 34:59.410 --> 35:01.350 on his love for them. 35:02.210 --> 35:06.970 And it's for his own namesake that he demonstrates his faithfulness to them. 35:07.330 --> 35:13.250 And it's for the sake of his promises to their fathers because God wants everyone 35:13.250 --> 35:18.010 throughout the world, all the nations to know that he is God. 35:18.490 --> 35:20.990 He is faithful to his promises. 35:21.270 --> 35:27.570 And he is able to fulfill his promises faithfully, as he said he would, 35:28.210 --> 35:33.350 and promised that he would through a thousand generations in a way that only 35:33.350 --> 35:38.330 God can do, and only God would do, and only a loving God would do. 35:38.650 --> 35:43.770 And that's what God desires for people to hear, and to know, and to marvel, 35:44.010 --> 35:48.110 and to see how contrary he is to the ways of this world. 35:48.110 --> 35:51.990 Because in the world, you would say, away with them. 35:52.450 --> 35:53.350 Be done with them. 35:53.610 --> 35:54.550 They don't deserve it. 35:54.610 --> 35:55.490 They deserve death. 35:56.030 --> 35:56.570 Absolutely. 35:57.650 --> 36:02.770 But then you have God and his heart filled with compassion for these people. 36:03.090 --> 36:08.410 And he tells us repeatedly through the scriptures, this is what it's all about to 36:08.410 --> 36:08.690 him. 36:09.050 --> 36:13.550 This is a revelation of who he is to the world, so that the world would see, 36:14.030 --> 36:17.930 who is this God who could possibly care for these people? 36:18.430 --> 36:19.450 Look what they've done. 36:19.910 --> 36:21.450 Look what they did to his son. 36:21.850 --> 36:23.250 Look what they've done to his prophets. 36:23.810 --> 36:25.090 Look what they're doing today. 36:25.530 --> 36:28.250 Look at their unrighteousness in so many areas. 36:29.110 --> 36:32.890 And yet God says, these are the people whom I have chosen. 36:33.610 --> 36:38.710 And God has a plan to bring salvation to a remnant of these people. 36:39.130 --> 36:46.110 And it's an amazing thing, because I found this prophecy that Moses gave to the 36:46.110 --> 36:49.170 people of Israel before they entered the land. 36:49.310 --> 36:52.490 They were just about to enter the land, the promised land. 36:52.570 --> 36:55.170 They'd been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. 36:56.350 --> 37:00.910 Moses, by this time, already knew he wasn't going to be allowed to enter the 37:00.910 --> 37:01.250 land. 37:01.790 --> 37:08.250 But yet God gave him this most amazing prophecy, telling the people, these 37:08.250 --> 37:12.530 people, these Jewish people, these people who came out of bondage in Egypt, 37:12.710 --> 37:17.010 those are the ones, those people who wandered in the wilderness. 37:18.250 --> 37:22.630 Moses said to them, you are going to go into the land. 37:23.310 --> 37:24.510 You're going to take possession. 37:25.150 --> 37:26.750 You're going to drive out the inhabitants. 37:27.370 --> 37:28.850 God's going to give you victory. 37:29.010 --> 37:30.390 God's going to prosper you. 37:30.790 --> 37:34.330 God's going to multiply you and cause you to be fruitful in the land. 37:35.370 --> 37:39.970 And after you've ruled in the land, and after you've secured the land, 37:40.190 --> 37:43.730 the time is going to come where you're going to turn away from God. 37:43.770 --> 37:46.230 You're going to turn and follow after false gods. 37:46.230 --> 37:47.770 You're going to worship idols. 37:48.230 --> 37:53.970 And when you do, you're going to lose the land, and you're going to be driven out. 37:54.570 --> 37:57.110 But God wants you to know ahead of time. 37:57.850 --> 38:03.930 And he lets them know ahead of time, despite all they've done to turn away from 38:03.930 --> 38:07.070 him, even after they've lost everything. 38:08.150 --> 38:09.890 He gives them hope. 38:10.490 --> 38:11.950 He gives them encouragement. 38:12.550 --> 38:14.990 He gives them a promise for their future. 38:15.930 --> 38:17.990 See, God was not caught off guard. 38:18.590 --> 38:22.790 He was not surprised by their failure. 38:23.670 --> 38:27.130 He saw these things coming long before they happened. 38:27.930 --> 38:29.030 It didn't surprise him. 38:29.210 --> 38:31.270 He knew about their unrighteousness. 38:31.350 --> 38:32.650 He knew what they were going to do. 38:32.990 --> 38:34.750 But even then, he had a plan. 38:35.150 --> 38:42.730 And his plan said, after all their suffering that they endured, that in the 38:42.730 --> 38:50.790 last day, that's what it literally says, the last day, the end of days, 38:52.590 --> 39:01.050 at that time, those who are the survivors of Israel, they're going to turn back to 39:01.050 --> 39:03.170 the Lord with all their heart. 39:03.610 --> 39:06.950 And they're going to listen to his voice. 39:08.030 --> 39:12.990 And he's letting them know that their children are going to come back to him. 39:13.270 --> 39:14.170 This is his plan. 39:14.410 --> 39:15.970 This was his plan from the beginning. 39:16.170 --> 39:20.390 This was his plan before they ever entered the promised land. 39:21.450 --> 39:28.330 And he tells them, the reason is because you have a God who's a compassionate God. 39:28.950 --> 39:34.510 And he says, your God is not going to fail you or destroy you or forget the promises 39:34.510 --> 39:35.990 that he's made to your fathers. 39:37.910 --> 39:45.670 And he goes on to tell them, the whole point is, has anyone ever known of a God 39:45.670 --> 39:46.330 like that? 39:47.110 --> 39:50.590 Surely anyone else would have long given up on them. 39:51.550 --> 39:53.730 Surely God had every reason to. 39:54.630 --> 39:56.330 But he's, that's the whole point. 39:56.990 --> 39:59.330 He's revealing his compassion. 39:59.970 --> 40:03.450 He's revealing his great love and his faithfulness. 40:03.830 --> 40:05.310 He's revealing his character. 40:05.810 --> 40:08.730 He wants the world to look and see. 40:09.470 --> 40:10.610 Who is this? 40:10.850 --> 40:12.270 Who is like this God? 40:13.030 --> 40:14.170 There is no one. 40:15.350 --> 40:21.650 And you can read this prophecy that Moses gave in Deuteronomy chapter 4. 40:22.770 --> 40:29.690 And he tells them in verse 37, it's because of his love for their fathers 40:29.690 --> 40:35.830 that he has chosen their descendants after them and has done these great things, 40:35.930 --> 40:42.070 bringing them out of Egypt by his great power and driving out these nations that 40:42.070 --> 40:46.770 occupied their land who were much stronger and greater than they were. 40:47.210 --> 40:49.110 But yet he brought them into the land. 40:49.830 --> 40:55.710 And all these things he's done because of his faithfulness had nothing to do with 40:55.710 --> 40:55.910 them. 40:55.910 --> 41:00.890 In fact, he counted on, he told them ahead of time, you're going to mess this whole 41:00.890 --> 41:01.670 thing up. 41:02.290 --> 41:04.930 But my plans are bigger than your failures. 41:05.130 --> 41:08.530 It's bigger than your unrighteousness. 41:09.070 --> 41:15.610 And I am not a God who gives up on his people, but promises even to a thousand 41:15.610 --> 41:20.130 generations to remember my promises to your fathers. 41:20.810 --> 41:26.510 And because of that, a thousand generations, that's longer than the span 41:26.510 --> 41:28.270 of human history. 41:29.070 --> 41:33.970 Even if you said a generation was only 20 years, that's 20,000 years. 41:34.390 --> 41:39.050 We only have 6,000 years of man's dominion on the earth. 41:39.550 --> 41:40.810 It's more than enough. 41:41.530 --> 41:43.150 It's never going to end. 41:43.590 --> 41:45.950 We'll never come to the end of his faithfulness. 41:47.750 --> 41:50.110 That's just one scripture passage. 41:50.430 --> 41:52.350 I have a long list of them. 41:53.070 --> 41:59.310 Like I said, I have 44 scriptural proofs that God's not done with these people, 42:00.050 --> 42:04.130 these flesh and blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 42:05.650 --> 42:12.270 And just another example, because I want to point this out, that God did not choose 42:12.270 --> 42:14.830 the greatest or the mightiest. 42:15.450 --> 42:17.770 Look at the place that he chose for the land. 42:18.450 --> 42:21.690 A desolate, barren strip of land. 42:22.430 --> 42:26.770 This place called Zion, which refers to the land of Israel. 42:28.310 --> 42:32.950 The word Zion means a parched, dry, thirsty place. 42:33.930 --> 42:37.150 Now who in their right mind would want that kind of land? 42:38.110 --> 42:41.650 That's the kind of place that you'd want to avoid at all costs. 42:42.510 --> 42:45.230 But yet this is the place that God chose. 42:45.990 --> 42:54.030 The unlovely, the unwanted, the despised, the least valued. 42:55.310 --> 42:57.550 He purposely chose this place. 42:57.710 --> 43:04.430 Of all the most beautiful places on the planet, of all the beautiful mountains and 43:04.430 --> 43:11.790 valleys and waterfalls and forests and beautiful places on earth that he could 43:11.790 --> 43:19.550 have chosen, he chooses this barren little strip of land and says, this is my land. 43:20.910 --> 43:25.750 This is where I will bring forth my great plans of salvation for the world. 43:26.870 --> 43:34.530 And for Zion's sake, his heart, his eyes, his attention, his love is drawn 43:34.530 --> 43:36.130 to this place called Zion. 43:38.090 --> 43:40.470 What in the world? 43:41.190 --> 43:43.950 It doesn't even hardly make sense. 43:45.090 --> 43:49.770 The land of Israel is smaller than the state of New Jersey. 43:50.590 --> 43:51.590 It's tiny. 43:52.530 --> 43:54.690 And they don't even occupy all of it. 43:55.670 --> 44:01.690 And the land is, 55% of it is barren desert, virtually uninhabitable. 44:04.010 --> 44:09.810 And yet we have this scripture in Zechariah 8 too, he says, I am exceedingly 44:09.810 --> 44:11.170 zealous for Zion. 44:12.010 --> 44:15.410 Yes, with great wrath, I'm zealous for her. 44:16.570 --> 44:20.590 And so this is the whole point, is it's not about the land. 44:21.910 --> 44:25.950 If it was about the land, there's nothing about the land to want. 44:25.990 --> 44:26.810 It's not lovely. 44:27.710 --> 44:29.390 So it's not about the land. 44:30.130 --> 44:37.170 I believe God wants us to see beyond this barren wasteland and ask, you know, 44:37.250 --> 44:39.390 why is the whole world so focused on that? 44:39.450 --> 44:40.950 It doesn't even make sense, right? 44:41.290 --> 44:43.870 Why is Satan so focused on that? 44:43.970 --> 44:49.450 And all of the people that he's got riled up, the wrath of the world, the hatred of 44:49.450 --> 44:51.810 the whole world directed at tiny Israel. 44:52.410 --> 44:53.930 And that's the whole point. 44:54.030 --> 44:59.730 I believe God wants us to be able to see beyond this land and recognize there's 44:59.730 --> 45:01.510 something else going on. 45:01.830 --> 45:08.370 He wants us to see him and he wants us to see his character through what his plans 45:08.370 --> 45:10.810 are revealing to the whole world. 45:11.770 --> 45:15.870 What God is after has nothing to do with the land. 45:16.010 --> 45:20.610 It's all about the heart-to-heart relationship with the people. 45:21.150 --> 45:28.810 And in this barren, dry, thirsty place called Zion, he's looking for a people who 45:28.810 --> 45:35.810 thirst for him, who are not satisfied by anything this world has to offer. 45:36.250 --> 45:43.130 Because we found out there's nothing in this world that satisfies our thirst, 45:43.150 --> 45:45.530 that we must have him. 45:45.630 --> 45:52.010 And that's why he says his eyes search throughout the whole earth, searching for 45:52.010 --> 45:54.450 those whose heart is completely his. 45:55.230 --> 45:56.610 That's what he's after. 45:58.070 --> 46:04.670 And so God has chosen this place to reveal himself in the hopes that the people of 46:04.670 --> 46:09.970 the world would see beyond the place and see him and see his heart and see his 46:09.970 --> 46:17.810 plans and see all that he is doing throughout history to reveal who he is to 46:17.810 --> 46:22.330 this lost world, this blinded world who cannot see him. 46:23.330 --> 46:28.490 And in the same way, he's chosen these people, the Jewish people. 46:29.290 --> 46:32.590 He could have chosen people great in numbers. 46:32.710 --> 46:34.870 He chose this tiny group of people. 46:35.590 --> 46:40.890 They've always been a very small number, but that's the people he chose. 46:42.310 --> 46:45.990 And the scriptures tell us flat out the reason why he chose them. 46:46.090 --> 46:50.410 He says, the Lord did not set his love on you or choose you because you're more in 46:50.410 --> 46:54.150 number than any of the peoples, for you're the fewest of all peoples. 46:54.790 --> 47:01.910 But it was because the Lord loved you, because the Lord loved you and kept the 47:01.910 --> 47:05.490 oath, the promise, which he swore to your forefathers. 47:06.310 --> 47:12.550 That's why he brought you out by a mighty hand, redeemed you from slavery in the 47:12.550 --> 47:19.810 house of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, because he wants you to know that he is 47:19.810 --> 47:20.310 God. 47:20.850 --> 47:27.090 He is the faithful God who keeps his promises, and he keeps his loving kindness 47:27.090 --> 47:33.890 to a thousandth generation, to those who love him and keep his commandments. 47:35.330 --> 47:42.570 And so what we see here is Satan, his scheme against the Jewish people is 47:42.570 --> 47:49.530 always to make it all about them, make it all about them, all about the 47:49.530 --> 47:50.030 land. 47:50.930 --> 47:57.190 And God is shifting the focus and saying, no, it never was about them. 47:57.790 --> 48:03.130 It doesn't really matter whether they mess up or don't mess up because I knew about 48:03.130 --> 48:04.050 it ahead of time. 48:04.490 --> 48:09.590 And I told them in advance that before they ever turn away from me, that they're 48:09.590 --> 48:10.330 going to do it. 48:11.170 --> 48:13.690 But my plan is bigger than their failure. 48:14.250 --> 48:19.230 And in the end, I will redeem a remnant of Israel. 48:19.670 --> 48:24.490 I will redeem the children of those who turned their backs on me. 48:25.470 --> 48:30.690 I will redeem a remnant of those flesh and blood descendants. 48:32.130 --> 48:39.730 That is my plan, and it will not be moved because it was never based on them. 48:41.470 --> 48:48.390 And I'm telling you, as I began to study these scriptures, it starts to impact you 48:48.970 --> 48:52.210 because you start to see the heart of God. 48:53.310 --> 48:58.710 You start to see his love and his compassion and what really motivates him 48:58.710 --> 49:04.130 and why he's been doing these things throughout history and how foolish it is 49:04.130 --> 49:08.290 for us to think that he's been caught off guard. 49:08.590 --> 49:10.430 His plan has been derailed. 49:11.090 --> 49:16.090 Those that he thought were his people are no longer his people because it didn't go 49:16.090 --> 49:20.050 according to the way he wanted, because they rebelled, because they 49:20.050 --> 49:25.990 crucified the Lord, whatever, that they're now disqualified, that they're no longer 49:25.990 --> 49:28.310 anything to do with his plans. 49:29.110 --> 49:31.250 Nothing could be further from the truth. 49:31.690 --> 49:33.970 They are front and center. 49:34.630 --> 49:37.270 Watch what God will do in these last days. 49:38.530 --> 49:40.970 Watch what God will do in Israel. 49:41.430 --> 49:46.930 Watch what he'll do through these Jewish people, regardless of their failures, 49:47.190 --> 49:48.350 their shortcomings. 49:49.410 --> 49:52.290 God is going to win a remnant. 49:52.690 --> 49:56.790 He's going to save some of the children of Israel. 49:57.810 --> 50:01.750 He's going to come back and he's going to fight in their behalf. 50:03.470 --> 50:09.250 And that's why repeatedly throughout the scriptures you see God telling them in 50:09.250 --> 50:13.590 advance, he knows ahead of time, you're going to screw up. 50:14.150 --> 50:15.990 You're going to be exiled from your land. 50:16.270 --> 50:22.770 But let me tell you, 150 years before Nebuchadnezzar exiled them into Babylon 50:22.770 --> 50:28.550 and destroyed their temple, before they ever lost their land, he had Hosea telling 50:28.550 --> 50:33.690 them, in the place where it is said to them, you are not my people, it will be 50:33.690 --> 50:36.790 said to them, you are the sons of the living God. 50:37.710 --> 50:40.850 God was encouraging them beforehand. 50:42.790 --> 50:49.910 And that's totally contrary to what these voices are now telling us, that he's done 50:49.910 --> 50:50.410 with them. 50:51.050 --> 50:52.090 They're disqualified. 50:53.370 --> 50:54.650 They blew it. 50:56.150 --> 50:58.050 They did all of these bad things. 50:59.070 --> 51:01.190 Repeatedly you see examples like this. 51:01.390 --> 51:02.770 That's Hosea 110. 51:03.050 --> 51:05.430 He's telling them, there's hope for you. 51:06.170 --> 51:07.870 You haven't totally blown it. 51:08.670 --> 51:10.010 Yes, you've paid dearly. 51:10.130 --> 51:11.430 You've suffered terribly. 51:11.950 --> 51:13.170 You've been exiled. 51:13.330 --> 51:14.350 You lost your land. 51:14.350 --> 51:19.190 Horrible things have happened that were never the will of God. 51:20.130 --> 51:23.270 But look how God told them ahead of time. 51:24.110 --> 51:25.530 There's hope for you. 51:26.610 --> 51:28.470 You're going to return to me. 51:28.690 --> 51:33.390 In the place where it was said, you're not my people, it will be said, 51:33.830 --> 51:35.810 you are the sons of the living God. 51:36.910 --> 51:39.570 And he did the same thing through the prophet Jeremiah. 51:39.750 --> 51:43.710 Before they were exiled into Babylon, he had already shown Jeremiah. 51:44.070 --> 51:45.650 It was already recorded. 51:46.590 --> 51:51.730 Jeremiah had already written what God revealed, that their time of exile would 51:51.730 --> 51:52.890 be 70 years. 51:54.310 --> 51:58.570 Again, he's saying, you've blown it, but there's hope for you. 51:58.730 --> 51:59.570 It's not over. 52:00.850 --> 52:04.690 It's only going to be for 70 years and I'm going to restore you back to your land. 52:04.810 --> 52:10.710 And Daniel, when he was in the land of Babylon, was able to calculate the time of 52:10.710 --> 52:14.510 their return because he knew it would be 70 years. 52:16.830 --> 52:21.510 And so what I'd like to ask these people who are claiming the Jewish people are now 52:21.510 --> 52:24.050 disqualified because of their unrighteous... why weren't they 52:24.050 --> 52:27.310 disqualified when they were exiled the first time? 52:28.250 --> 52:30.810 How come God didn't give up on them then? 52:32.730 --> 52:38.270 God did not give up on them after they were exiled the first time and he has not 52:38.270 --> 52:38.870 changed. 52:39.530 --> 52:43.370 He has not given up on them after they were exiled the second time. 52:45.010 --> 52:47.670 Okay, so now I'm going to move on to point number two. 52:47.770 --> 52:51.330 I took a long time on that one, but these others are much, much shorter. 52:52.670 --> 52:59.510 Lie number two of Satan's five favorite lies is that the Jewish people are not 52:59.510 --> 53:02.630 God's people because today there's neither Jew nor Greek. 53:03.570 --> 53:11.690 Now they're quoting that from Galatians 3.26 through 29 and Colossians 3.9 through 53:11.690 --> 53:12.090 11. 53:12.690 --> 53:20.410 And if you look at those passages, that's a total misrepresentation of what 53:20.410 --> 53:27.250 those passages are talking about because those passages are talking about the sons 53:27.250 --> 53:33.330 of God who are walking in faith in Jesus Christ. 53:33.830 --> 53:38.270 It's not talking about the flesh and blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac, 53:38.370 --> 53:41.250 and Jacob who have rejected Jesus Christ. 53:41.630 --> 53:46.690 These are two different groups and that's what we have to see constantly throughout 53:46.690 --> 53:47.210 the scriptures. 53:47.370 --> 53:55.010 We have to sort out the difference between physical Israel in the natural realm and 53:55.010 --> 53:58.730 spiritual Israel which is those who are in Jesus Christ. 53:59.730 --> 54:05.730 There's the true Jews according to the Spirit, those who have been grafted in 54:06.370 --> 54:10.950 through Jesus Christ, and then there's those who are just of the flesh. 54:11.010 --> 54:12.490 They're just flesh and blood descendants. 54:13.110 --> 54:15.610 That does not mean they're saved. 54:15.990 --> 54:17.030 They're not going to heaven. 54:17.170 --> 54:22.350 The only way to heaven is, like Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, 54:22.430 --> 54:23.310 and the life. 54:23.750 --> 54:27.130 No man comes to the Father but through me. 54:28.550 --> 54:31.670 That's why he told Nicodemus, you must be born again. 54:33.530 --> 54:37.810 There's a spiritual birth on the inside that comes through knowing Jesus Christ. 54:38.250 --> 54:46.490 And so these two passages are all clearly all about those who are walking in faith 54:46.490 --> 54:47.650 in Jesus Christ. 54:48.190 --> 54:53.610 I mean, verse 26 in Galatians 3, it starts, it says, for you, he's talking 54:53.610 --> 54:56.730 to the believers, it's written to the church of the Galatians, right? 54:57.130 --> 54:57.950 These are believers. 54:58.450 --> 55:03.710 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 55:04.430 --> 55:06.870 Okay, it's pretty specific. 55:08.450 --> 55:16.830 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ. 55:17.950 --> 55:23.030 Now for those people, he's saying, there is neither Jew nor Greek. 55:23.630 --> 55:25.490 There is neither slave nor free man. 55:25.870 --> 55:27.390 There is neither male nor female. 55:27.630 --> 55:30.590 For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 55:31.370 --> 55:33.250 In Christ Jesus, right? 55:34.590 --> 55:37.510 So he's talking about Christians. 55:38.230 --> 55:39.130 We are one. 55:39.510 --> 55:41.490 The two groups become one. 55:41.550 --> 55:43.030 It doesn't matter anymore. 55:43.370 --> 55:49.890 Once you come to God, whether you're Jew or Gentile, we become one new man in 55:49.890 --> 55:50.670 Christ Jesus. 55:51.370 --> 55:56.570 And amazingly, we are grafted in those who belong to Christ. 55:56.730 --> 56:00.790 Verse 29 says, we become, we are Abraham's descendants. 56:01.810 --> 56:04.930 And the passage in Colossians is very similar. 56:06.150 --> 56:11.790 And again, it's in the context, it says, but Christ is all in all. 56:11.790 --> 56:14.630 He's talking about there's neither Greek nor Jew. 56:14.830 --> 56:17.570 There's neither circumcised nor uncircumcised. 56:17.730 --> 56:19.930 None of those things matter anymore. 56:20.630 --> 56:28.070 Because we become joined together as one group of believers in Christ. 56:29.510 --> 56:35.590 Now separately, if you're talking about those who are not in Christ, it does make 56:35.590 --> 56:41.770 a difference whether you're a Jew or a Gentile, because of God's choice when he 56:41.770 --> 56:46.010 chose to bring salvation to the world through the Jewish people. 56:46.990 --> 56:47.830 And so it matters. 56:48.490 --> 56:51.090 God chose the Jewish people to bring salvation. 56:51.370 --> 56:56.930 They're held to a whole different level of accountability, because to whom ever much 56:56.930 --> 56:59.130 is given, much is required. 56:59.610 --> 57:05.190 And God has given much to them that other people in other places have not had. 57:06.490 --> 57:07.550 And so that matters. 57:07.870 --> 57:11.110 That affects everything in their relationship with God. 57:12.270 --> 57:14.550 So flesh and blood does make a difference. 57:14.950 --> 57:20.430 Their Jewish heritage does matter, because their forefathers were the heirs 57:20.430 --> 57:21.950 to the promises of God. 57:22.330 --> 57:26.970 And God has promised to remember because of his loving kindness to them. 57:27.910 --> 57:30.130 And so, yes, it does make a difference. 57:30.750 --> 57:34.490 They're the ones who were there that day when Moses prophesied. 57:35.430 --> 57:37.250 You know, the church wasn't there. 57:38.070 --> 57:40.350 These are the people that have been there all along. 57:41.050 --> 57:42.110 They went through Egypt. 57:42.350 --> 57:43.590 They went through the wilderness. 57:44.210 --> 57:45.750 They went into the promised land. 57:46.170 --> 57:47.110 They were exiled. 57:47.710 --> 57:50.110 They were scattered throughout the earth. 57:50.950 --> 57:54.210 And they've suffered terrible things, but God has not forgotten them. 57:54.990 --> 58:00.870 And so there is a distinction between Jew and Gentile outside of Christ. 58:01.290 --> 58:07.210 Neither one of them are born again, but yet there is a distinction made 58:07.210 --> 58:11.030 because of what has been given to the Jewish people. 58:12.330 --> 58:16.490 All right, so let's move on to lie number three in Satan's five favorite lies, 58:16.910 --> 58:20.790 and that is that the Jewish people, they're not God's people because they're 58:20.790 --> 58:22.410 only children of the flesh. 58:23.270 --> 58:28.350 Okay, and that again gets into the confusion between the difference between 58:28.350 --> 58:33.290 spiritual Jews and natural physical Jews. 58:34.690 --> 58:37.570 Okay, so true, they're not born again. 58:38.110 --> 58:43.750 They're not on their way to heaven unless they are spiritual Jews, unless they have 58:43.750 --> 58:46.970 received Jesus Christ because he is the only way to salvation. 58:47.210 --> 58:52.010 But to say that God has nothing to do with them because they're children of the 58:52.010 --> 58:53.770 flesh, that's just not true. 58:55.150 --> 59:01.530 And so there are passages of scripture that clearly identify the difference 59:01.530 --> 59:09.790 between a true spiritual Jew and a flesh and blood natural physical Jew. 59:10.690 --> 59:13.690 And that's where this argument comes from. 59:14.150 --> 59:20.070 And in Romans 9, 6 through 8, Paul says, they're not all Israel who are descended 59:20.070 --> 59:23.790 from Israel, nor are they all children because they're Abraham's descendants. 59:24.630 --> 59:26.890 But through Isaac your descendants will be named. 59:27.370 --> 59:31.230 And that is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, 59:31.250 --> 59:34.810 but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants. 59:35.270 --> 59:40.630 He's talking about spiritual, born-again children of God. 59:40.750 --> 59:45.690 They're the only ones that are truly in the spirit, in the realm of eternity. 59:46.050 --> 59:51.570 They're the only ones that are truly considered spiritual children of God, 59:52.310 --> 59:57.530 because there is no other way than the way of salvation that he has made through his 59:57.530 --> 59:59.690 son, his only son Jesus Christ. 01:00:00.750 --> 01:00:06.390 But you know the scriptures tell us that the natural mind, you cannot understand 01:00:06.390 --> 01:00:12.330 spiritual things with the natural mind, but it has to be revealed in the spiritual 01:00:12.330 --> 01:00:12.790 realm. 01:00:13.250 --> 01:00:19.930 God has to reveal it, and he only reveals it to those who humble themselves before 01:00:19.930 --> 01:00:24.890 him, and repent of their sins, and commit themselves to follow him. 01:00:24.970 --> 01:00:28.550 And then the veil is lifted, and they can see. 01:00:29.670 --> 01:00:35.750 But there's confusion on this topic, just like when the Jewish leader Nicodemus 01:00:35.750 --> 01:00:41.390 came to Jesus, and Jesus tried to explain it to him, the concept that you must be 01:00:41.390 --> 01:00:42.070 born again. 01:00:42.530 --> 01:00:48.770 And Nicodemus had no idea what he's talking about, because it's a spiritual 01:00:48.770 --> 01:00:49.750 concept. 01:00:50.130 --> 01:00:53.390 He's saying, how can a man enter again into his mother's womb? 01:00:53.790 --> 01:00:55.870 Well, that's not what Jesus is talking about. 01:00:56.610 --> 01:00:59.930 And so that's where a lot of this confusion comes in. 01:01:00.250 --> 01:01:06.690 People find a passage talking about spiritual Jews, and say this disqualifies 01:01:06.690 --> 01:01:11.610 and proves that God's done with the Jewish people today, and therefore we can align 01:01:11.610 --> 01:01:18.190 ourselves against Israel, against the Jewish people, and justify it according to 01:01:18.190 --> 01:01:18.630 the scriptures. 01:01:19.310 --> 01:01:22.550 That's a total misinterpretation of the scriptures. 01:01:23.530 --> 01:01:31.050 Okay, so the fourth lie that I've heard is Jewish people are not God's people because 01:01:31.050 --> 01:01:33.450 they're not from the tribe of Judah. 01:01:33.930 --> 01:01:38.130 And they say those people living in the land of Israel, they're not even Jews, 01:01:38.430 --> 01:01:42.970 because they're not from Judah, and only Judah are the Jews. 01:01:43.850 --> 01:01:49.610 Well, that's easily proven to be a lie based on the scriptures because Paul, 01:01:50.190 --> 01:01:54.930 who's from the tribe of Benjamin, refers to himself as a Jew. 01:01:56.230 --> 01:02:01.130 And Paul specifically mentioned that, his heritage from the tribe of Benjamin, 01:02:01.270 --> 01:02:07.250 and referring to himself as a Jew in Acts 22 verse 3 and Romans 11 verse 1. 01:02:08.650 --> 01:02:15.630 And if being from the tribe of Benjamin qualifies as being Jewish, then all the 01:02:15.630 --> 01:02:18.010 tribes qualify as being Jewish. 01:02:18.210 --> 01:02:24.070 There's nowhere in scripture that it tells us that only Judah is Jewish. 01:02:25.110 --> 01:02:26.250 That's a lie. 01:02:26.970 --> 01:02:33.490 It's used all the time to justify turning against the inhabitants of modern Israel. 01:02:34.430 --> 01:02:35.470 Doesn't matter. 01:02:35.710 --> 01:02:36.830 They're not Jews anyway. 01:02:37.870 --> 01:02:38.970 They shouldn't be there. 01:02:39.290 --> 01:02:40.810 They have no right to the land. 01:02:41.290 --> 01:02:42.250 Blah, blah, blah. 01:02:43.090 --> 01:02:43.770 Wrong. 01:02:44.470 --> 01:02:49.770 Now, they're basing this argument on the idea that the Jewish people had been 01:02:49.770 --> 01:02:51.010 divided in the past. 01:02:51.430 --> 01:02:57.090 There was two separate kingdoms, and Judah divided from the other tribes, 01:02:57.570 --> 01:03:00.550 but it was not a permanent division. 01:03:00.750 --> 01:03:06.690 The prophet Jeremiah saw that in the last days the house of Judah is going to come 01:03:06.690 --> 01:03:13.290 together and walk side by side with the house of Israel in the land God gave to 01:03:13.290 --> 01:03:13.910 their fathers. 01:03:14.050 --> 01:03:17.050 And that's Jeremiah 3 verse 17 and 18. 01:03:18.010 --> 01:03:24.710 And today we're seeing the fulfillment of this prophecy as the Jewish people living 01:03:24.710 --> 01:03:29.210 in the land of Israel are from all the various tribes. 01:03:30.350 --> 01:03:35.690 And we see it again in the scriptures in Revelation chapter 7 where the Lord 01:03:35.690 --> 01:03:45.210 reveals his plan to raise up 144,000 bond servants from each of the 12 tribes, 01:03:45.250 --> 01:03:48.830 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. 01:03:49.610 --> 01:03:57.430 Now, if only Judah was part of his plan, then why is it that there's 12,000 from 01:03:57.430 --> 01:03:59.130 each of the 12 tribes? 01:03:59.810 --> 01:04:07.970 Okay, now the tribe of Dan was purposely left out of the list and was replaced by 01:04:07.970 --> 01:04:10.610 the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. 01:04:11.630 --> 01:04:15.630 And the reason is because the Antichrist comes from Dan. 01:04:16.670 --> 01:04:19.570 Dan turned their backs on God. 01:04:19.870 --> 01:04:22.450 Dan rejected God's plan for their life. 01:04:22.950 --> 01:04:26.910 Dan rejected the land that God allotted to them within Israel. 01:04:28.290 --> 01:04:33.970 But for the other tribes, the 12 tribes all come together as one. 01:04:34.990 --> 01:04:40.330 There is no distinction between Judah and the other tribes in the end. 01:04:41.110 --> 01:04:43.930 And this is the plan of God for the Jewish people. 01:04:45.410 --> 01:04:51.770 And finally, the fifth lie that Satan likes to tell is that they're not God's 01:04:51.770 --> 01:04:55.270 people because they're the synagogue of Satan. 01:04:56.350 --> 01:05:03.010 And they base this claim on the words of Jesus in Revelations chapter 2 and 3 when 01:05:03.010 --> 01:05:07.650 he was speaking to the churches in Smyrna and the church in Philadelphia. 01:05:08.730 --> 01:05:13.310 And he was exposing their hypocrisy in claiming to be Jews. 01:05:13.450 --> 01:05:15.690 He says those who say they're Jews, but they're not. 01:05:16.270 --> 01:05:17.850 They're a synagogue of Satan. 01:05:18.670 --> 01:05:20.490 Well, you have to look at the context. 01:05:20.650 --> 01:05:22.450 First of all, who is he talking to? 01:05:23.330 --> 01:05:28.190 He's speaking to the churches, to the followers of Jesus Christ. 01:05:28.330 --> 01:05:33.390 He's not speaking to the Jewish people who have rejected Jesus Christ as their 01:05:33.390 --> 01:05:33.890 Messiah. 01:05:34.710 --> 01:05:37.910 He's specifically speaking to Christians. 01:05:38.370 --> 01:05:41.530 Christians who are spiritual Jews. 01:05:41.810 --> 01:05:47.390 And he's pointing out that they're disqualified from being spiritual Jews 01:05:47.390 --> 01:05:50.530 because they're failing to meet the requirements. 01:05:52.260 --> 01:05:56.630 And this makes sense because if you're a natural Jew, according to the flesh, 01:05:57.460 --> 01:06:00.470 you can't be disqualified because it was by birth. 01:06:01.770 --> 01:06:02.430 You're a Jew. 01:06:02.690 --> 01:06:03.850 You're a Jew by birth. 01:06:04.210 --> 01:06:05.490 That's a totally different thing. 01:06:05.850 --> 01:06:10.290 Jesus is talking about spiritual Jews who have to meet requirements, and those 01:06:10.290 --> 01:06:13.330 requirements are revealed in their deeds. 01:06:14.310 --> 01:06:18.490 Because the scriptures tell us, and this is a message that is not popular 01:06:18.490 --> 01:06:23.950 in the church because it's all about the message that's popular in the church today 01:06:23.950 --> 01:06:28.230 is all about grace, grace, grace with no accountability for your deeds. 01:06:28.310 --> 01:06:30.210 But that's not what the Bible talks about. 01:06:31.190 --> 01:06:38.190 In James chapter 2, it says that we're justified not by faith alone, but by our 01:06:38.190 --> 01:06:38.950 deeds. 01:06:39.990 --> 01:06:43.550 So we have to put action to our words. 01:06:43.710 --> 01:06:45.390 We can't just talk the talk. 01:06:45.510 --> 01:06:47.050 We have to walk the walk. 01:06:47.470 --> 01:06:53.010 And that's why James later in chapter 2 says that faith without works is dead. 01:06:53.570 --> 01:06:57.230 If you believe in your heart, you will act accordingly. 01:06:58.010 --> 01:07:04.710 It won't be just limited to cheap words, but will be demonstrated so that God can 01:07:04.710 --> 01:07:05.470 look and see. 01:07:06.050 --> 01:07:07.490 This one is a true disciple. 01:07:08.230 --> 01:07:10.650 He's a follower because look at how he acts. 01:07:11.250 --> 01:07:13.370 Look at how he's changed his deeds. 01:07:14.790 --> 01:07:18.990 And so Jesus was pointing out the hypocrisy of these believers in these 01:07:18.990 --> 01:07:25.310 churches and saying, you claim to be my followers, but really you're followers of 01:07:25.310 --> 01:07:25.690 Satan. 01:07:26.750 --> 01:07:31.410 And this passage has not one thing to do with the flesh and blood descendants of 01:07:31.410 --> 01:07:31.810 Abraham. 01:07:32.650 --> 01:07:37.490 So it has nothing to do with disqualifying the flesh and blood descendants of Abraham 01:07:38.370 --> 01:07:42.710 from being part of God's great plans for these last days. 01:07:44.010 --> 01:07:49.270 Well, I'm going to stop here because I've already gone way longer than I thought I 01:07:49.270 --> 01:07:51.210 would on this topic. 01:07:51.950 --> 01:07:56.270 And as I mentioned at the beginning, I'm going to do a separate podcast and 01:07:56.270 --> 01:08:03.430 share some of the scriptural proofs and provide a link to a list of 44 scriptural 01:08:03.430 --> 01:08:09.530 proofs proving that God is not done with the flesh and blood descendants of 01:08:09.530 --> 01:08:10.770 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 01:08:10.770 --> 01:08:17.810 I think it's very important that everyone who follows Jesus Christ should know his 01:08:17.810 --> 01:08:19.190 word on this topic. 01:08:19.550 --> 01:08:24.070 I think it's very important for his plans for these last days. 01:08:24.430 --> 01:08:29.710 It's important for being able to spot the lies of the enemy that we know the 01:08:29.710 --> 01:08:36.870 scriptures and as it is written in the word we understand his plans, his heart 01:08:36.870 --> 01:08:42.590 for these people, and we're not easily deceived and led astray. 01:08:42.750 --> 01:08:48.430 So we don't find ourselves taking sides against God's plans. 01:08:48.930 --> 01:08:57.630 And also so we can see God's great plans, what he is going to be doing in these last 01:08:57.630 --> 01:09:06.190 days in Israel, and how it can help us to understand his bigger picture plans for 01:09:06.190 --> 01:09:07.870 his body of believers. 01:09:08.770 --> 01:09:14.370 Because we have seen throughout history there are many parallels between the 01:09:14.370 --> 01:09:20.290 Jewish people and the major events happening in Israel, physical Israel, 01:09:20.690 --> 01:09:23.090 and the events happening in the church. 01:09:23.530 --> 01:09:29.210 And I believe it's an important key because there are many scriptures telling 01:09:29.210 --> 01:09:32.910 us what God's specific plans are for the Jewish people. 01:09:33.870 --> 01:09:41.190 And by understanding these scriptures we can understand his plans for the church. 01:09:42.310 --> 01:09:47.610 And that's ultimately I think what we're all interested in is how does this affect 01:09:47.610 --> 01:09:49.430 our life and our future. 01:09:50.150 --> 01:09:53.490 And it does, it's very relevant, it's very important. 01:09:54.390 --> 01:10:01.530 And I'm seeing so many people who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ fighting and 01:10:01.530 --> 01:10:04.970 taking sides against God and against God's plan. 01:10:05.290 --> 01:10:06.530 There's so much deception. 01:10:07.190 --> 01:10:09.090 So let's not be part of that. 01:10:09.590 --> 01:10:14.150 So thanks for joining me today and I hope to be back again soon with another 01:10:14.150 --> 01:10:14.710 program. 01:10:15.070 --> 01:10:16.590 Until then, so long.
