00:00.500 --> 00:05.500
Please turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 21.

00:05.500 --> 00:09.220
Luke chapter 21.

00:09.220 --> 00:11.800
Luke chapter 21 is where we're going to be reading.

00:23.200 --> 00:28.200
Luke chapter 21, Luke chapter 21.

00:28.200 --> 00:31.200
Luke 21 verse 1, the Bible reads,

00:31.200 --> 00:34.200
And he looked up and saw the rich men

00:34.200 --> 00:37.200
Casting their gifts into the treasury.

00:37.200 --> 00:40.200
And he saw also a certain poor widow

00:40.200 --> 00:42.200
Casting in thither two mites.

00:42.200 --> 00:45.200
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you,

00:45.200 --> 00:49.100
That this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.

00:49.300 --> 00:54.340
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God,

00:54.340 --> 01:00.340
but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she hath."

01:00.340 --> 01:05.540
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts,

01:05.540 --> 01:06.740
he said,

01:06.740 --> 01:15.140
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come in which there shall not be left one stone upon the other.

01:15.140 --> 01:16.020
Another.

01:16.020 --> 01:16.800
and

01:17.000 --> 01:19.680
that shall not be thrown down.

01:19.680 --> 01:21.880
And they asked him, saying, Master,

01:21.880 --> 01:23.640
but when shall these things be?

01:23.640 --> 01:26.440
And what sign will there be when these things

01:26.440 --> 01:27.920
shall come to pass?

01:27.920 --> 01:32.280
And he said, Take heed that ye not be deceived,

01:32.280 --> 01:36.200
for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ.

01:36.200 --> 01:40.120
And the time draweth near, go ye not therefore after them.

01:40.120 --> 01:40.200
you

01:40.500 --> 01:47.140
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified, for these things must first

01:47.140 --> 01:51.780
come to pass, but the end is not by and by.

01:51.780 --> 01:53.100
Then said he unto them,

01:53.500 --> 01:58.500
Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

01:58.500 --> 02:04.700
And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines and pestilences, and fearful

02:04.700 --> 02:08.820
sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

02:08.820 --> 02:13.900
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering

02:13.900 --> 02:19.700
you up to the synagogues and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for

02:19.700 --> 02:20.540
my name's sake.

02:21.700 --> 02:27.860
And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before

02:27.860 --> 02:35.140
what ye shall answer. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not

02:35.140 --> 02:42.180
be able to gain say nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents and brethren and kin

02:42.180 --> 02:47.700
folks and friends, and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

02:48.600 --> 02:52.000
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

02:52.000 --> 02:55.500
But there shall not an hair of your head perish,

02:55.500 --> 02:58.400
and your patience possess ye your souls.

02:58.400 --> 03:01.900
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,

03:01.900 --> 03:05.600
then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

03:05.600 --> 03:08.900
Then let them which are in Judea flee into the mountains,

03:08.900 --> 03:12.100
and let them which are in the midst of it depart out.

03:12.500 --> 03:15.220
and let not them that are in the countries

03:15.220 --> 03:17.460
enter therein too.

03:17.460 --> 03:19.460
For these be the days of vengeance,

03:19.460 --> 03:22.540
that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

03:22.540 --> 03:24.720
But woe unto them that are with child,

03:24.720 --> 03:27.340
and to them that give suck in those days.

03:27.340 --> 03:29.820
For there shall be great distress in the land,

03:29.820 --> 03:32.100
and wrath upon this people.

03:32.300 --> 03:37.800
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations.

03:37.800 --> 03:42.500
And Jerusalem shall be trotting down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles

03:42.500 --> 03:44.300
be fulfilled.

03:44.300 --> 03:48.860
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon the earth,

03:48.860 --> 03:53.740
distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea, and the waves roaring."

03:54.400 --> 04:00.800
men's hearts, failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth.

04:00.800 --> 04:03.800
For the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

04:03.800 --> 04:10.300
And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

04:10.300 --> 04:15.800
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads,

04:15.800 --> 04:18.800
for your redemption draweth nigh."

04:18.800 --> 04:21.600
And he spake to them a parable.

04:21.900 --> 04:25.000
Behold the fig tree and all the trees.

04:25.000 --> 04:29.780
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh

04:29.780 --> 04:30.780
at hand.

04:30.780 --> 04:36.460
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is

04:36.460 --> 04:38.260
nigh at hand.

04:38.260 --> 04:44.060
Barely I say unto you, this generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled.

04:44.060 --> 04:48.520
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

04:49.400 --> 04:55.000
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with sure-fitting

04:55.000 --> 05:01.800
and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

05:01.800 --> 05:07.040
Or as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

05:07.040 --> 05:12.660
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these

05:12.660 --> 05:16.400
things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

05:17.100 --> 05:22.940
And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple, and at night he went out and abode in the mount,

05:22.940 --> 05:27.500
that is called the Mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning to him in the

05:27.500 --> 05:31.340
temple, for to fear him. Let's bow our heads and go to the Lord in prayer.

05:31.500 --> 05:36.420
Father, we thank you once again for gathering us here this evening at your church.

05:36.420 --> 05:40.380
We thank you, Lord, for your Word and for all that you do, Lord.

05:40.380 --> 05:44.540
We just want to take a moment and claim your promise that when your Word goes forth, it

05:44.540 --> 05:48.540
won't return void, but it will accomplish that which you set out to accomplish.

05:48.540 --> 05:53.380
Lord, we pray that you give us ears to hear and hearts to understand and please fill Brother

05:53.380 --> 05:58.580
Ben, Naim, with your Holy Spirit and just allow him to preach the truth from the pulpit

05:58.580 --> 05:59.500
with boldness and clarity.

05:59.500 --> 06:01.500
In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

06:06.000 --> 06:12.480
Amen. I want to again thank Pastor Reyes for the invitation to fill in for him today.

06:14.240 --> 06:21.280
It's been a great day. I appreciate the fellowship. Thank you all so much for having me and for your hospitality.

06:23.900 --> 06:27.260
And we're there in Luke chapter 21.

06:27.260 --> 06:29.060
I'm going to clip this on real quick.

06:29.060 --> 06:31.340
And by the way, this is really good.

06:31.340 --> 06:33.660
Thank you.

06:33.660 --> 06:35.340
We're in Luke chapter 21.

06:35.340 --> 06:38.020
Let's look down at verse 5 where the Bible read.

06:38.020 --> 06:42.620
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly

06:42.620 --> 06:45.380
stones and gifts, he said, ask for these things,

06:45.380 --> 06:47.140
which ye behold, the days will come.

06:47.600 --> 06:52.800
in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.

06:53.100 --> 06:57.100
And they asked him saying, Master, but when shall these things be?

06:57.260 --> 07:01.020
And what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

07:01.020 --> 07:06.560
So Jesus talks about how the temple will one day be destroyed.

07:06.640 --> 07:12.060
And we know that this came to pass in 70 A.D. through the Roman Empire.

07:12.360 --> 07:14.600
The question is, when shall these things be?

07:14.600 --> 07:17.100
And and, you know, he goes through it, he talks about it.

07:17.100 --> 07:21.020
And like I said, you know, in 70 A.D., the Romans invade.

07:21.100 --> 07:23.380
at the midpoint of the Roman-Jewish war.

07:23.380 --> 07:25.020
They do desolate the temple.

07:25.020 --> 07:30.220
It is destroyed and remains destroyed to this day.

07:30.220 --> 07:32.860
There are critical end times events

07:32.860 --> 07:35.500
that are outlined in this chapter.

07:35.600 --> 07:40.600
And we see that Jerusalem is a center point of end times Bible prophecy.

07:40.600 --> 07:49.100
Many significant events that have to do with end times Bible prophecy take place in and around Jerusalem.

07:49.100 --> 07:56.100
And that's why the title of my sermon this evening is Israel in the End Times. Israel in the End Times.

07:56.100 --> 08:03.100
There's so much confusion about the role Israel will play in the End Times.

08:03.100 --> 08:03.600
And I think that's a good way to start.

08:03.600 --> 08:09.700
that right now with Zionism and right now with people who are just talking about current

08:09.700 --> 08:16.200
events in Israel, there's a lot of confusion associated with that nation and what role

08:16.200 --> 08:22.520
it will play, rather, as we inch our way closer to the final seven-year period before the

08:22.520 --> 08:26.240
millennium that we, of course, call Daniel's 70th week.

08:26.800 --> 08:33.420
There's so much false doctrine about Israel and the end times as well with people who promote an agenda

08:34.080 --> 08:37.760
Regarding the Jews that they will just magically be saved

08:38.520 --> 08:44.560
Apart from faith that they just kind of look on Jesus and they just kind of get saved when he returns for the battle of

08:44.560 --> 08:46.560
Arm again, and I'll address that a little bit later

08:47.040 --> 08:52.680
it is worth noting though that there's a reason why Israel was brought back and

08:54.100 --> 08:58.000
You know, in 1948, the State of Israel was officially established.

08:58.000 --> 09:04.860
This pivotal year, it says on historian.gov, saw the end of the British mandate for Palestine,

09:04.860 --> 09:09.740
the Israeli Declaration of Independence on May 14th, and the outbreak of the first Arab-Israeli

09:09.740 --> 09:10.740
War.

09:10.740 --> 09:13.180
So, Israel has a role to play.

09:13.180 --> 09:14.900
And I do believe it was brought back.

09:15.300 --> 09:20.300
for a reason. And of course they took the Palestinian land and here's the thing, you

09:20.300 --> 09:24.740
could argue that God's not done with Israel because yeah, there's more that are still

09:24.740 --> 09:30.260
to come. There are prophetic events involving Israel that have yet to come to pass. And

09:30.260 --> 09:31.940
I'm going to go through some of those here tonight.

09:33.400 --> 09:39.360
My first point is this, when it comes to Israel in the end times, a temple will be rebuilt

09:39.360 --> 09:40.520
in Jerusalem.

09:40.520 --> 09:43.040
Turn if you would to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2.

09:43.040 --> 09:44.680
2 Thessalonians chapter 2.

09:47.100 --> 09:50.040
Well, who brought back Israel?

09:50.040 --> 09:52.000
Some believe it was God.

09:52.000 --> 09:53.200
Obviously God allowed it.

09:53.500 --> 09:58.300
But ultimately, when we look at 2 Thessalonians, chapter two, when we look at the fact that

09:58.300 --> 10:05.100
Israel will be the site, Jerusalem specifically will be the site of where the Antichrist,

10:05.100 --> 10:11.820
the setting where the Antichrist rules from, then I would assert that it was the devil who brought

10:11.820 --> 10:19.980
them back so that these events can come to pass. Certain milestones must be reached. There are

10:19.980 --> 10:21.500
conditions that

10:21.500 --> 10:23.660
that have to happen.

10:23.660 --> 10:26.480
There are certain conditions that are required rather

10:26.480 --> 10:28.600
for the second coming of Christ.

10:28.600 --> 10:32.120
And many of them are related to Israel.

10:32.120 --> 10:33.940
So let's look at what the Bible says.

10:33.940 --> 10:37.260
We're gonna strip away our political lenses tonight.

10:37.260 --> 10:39.360
We're not gonna look at the scripture

10:39.360 --> 10:41.960
through the lenses of what Fox News is telling us

10:41.960 --> 10:44.420
and through the lenses of what popular culture

10:44.420 --> 10:46.520
is telling us or the Republican Party.

10:46.520 --> 10:49.080
We need to look at it through the spirit of God,

10:49.080 --> 10:49.500
the Holy.

10:49.500 --> 10:54.300
Spirit of God and He will show us, illuminate for us the truth.

10:54.600 --> 10:57.460
2 Thessalonians 2, look at verse 4.

10:57.460 --> 10:59.840
The Bible says this is about the Antichrist,

10:59.840 --> 11:03.840
who opposeth and exalted himself above all that is called God

11:03.840 --> 11:06.940
or that is worshiped so that he as God siteth in the,

11:06.940 --> 11:11.280
watch this, temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

11:11.280 --> 11:13.220
So the Antichrist is gonna sit in the temple.

11:13.220 --> 11:14.240
What does this tell us?

11:14.240 --> 11:17.980
There will be a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.

11:17.980 --> 11:20.680
Of course you had Solomon's temple, you had.

11:20.680 --> 11:20.800
you

11:21.000 --> 11:26.800
that get wiped out and destroyed through the Babylonian captivity.

11:26.800 --> 11:30.800
Then it was rebuilt through Zerubbabel's temple, you could call it.

11:30.800 --> 11:35.000
And then, you know, of course that one was wiped out eventually.

11:35.000 --> 11:41.200
And then in the end times there will be a third temple that is built by the Jews.

11:41.200 --> 11:44.400
And this will be...

11:44.800 --> 11:49.360
the site in which the Antichrist proclaims himself to be God.

11:49.900 --> 11:55.340
at a pivotal end times event. What do we know about this third temple where we know that

11:55.340 --> 12:02.780
eventually there will be animal sacrifices that take place in this rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.

12:02.780 --> 12:09.260
I believe those daily animal sacrifices will take place according to Daniel chapter 8,

12:09.260 --> 12:17.260
250 days into Daniel's 70th week. But eventually those sacrifices will cease. Why? Because the

12:17.260 --> 12:17.900
the Antichrist.

12:17.900 --> 12:25.420
will sit in that temple, he will proclaim himself to be a false god, and as a result

12:25.420 --> 12:31.740
will make the declaration that there's no need for animal sacrifices anymore because

12:31.740 --> 12:37.820
he's going to show himself to be a false god. He'll establish a global religion,

12:37.820 --> 12:40.140
and so there won't be any need for sacrifice anymore.

12:40.600 --> 12:51.600
But my point is this, there's going to be a temple, it'll be rebuilt in Jerusalem, and it'll be where the Dome of the Rock sits today, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

12:51.600 --> 12:57.400
Not in Temple Zero, but at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, that's where they're going to build it.

12:59.800 --> 13:03.960
The Dome of the Rocks gonna be destroyed and it'll be this false temple that's built instead

13:03.960 --> 13:09.780
My second point is this as we go back. Let's go back to Luke chapter 21 Luke chapter 21

13:11.560 --> 13:16.080
So what do we see on the onset there has to be a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem

13:16.080 --> 13:19.660
This is a very important event when we talk about Israel in the end times

13:21.200 --> 13:26.860
Now what else has to happen? Well the Antichrist's armies have to invade Jerusalem

13:27.400 --> 13:31.160
the armies of the Antichrist must invade Jerusalem.

13:31.160 --> 13:35.320
Now here's my speculation, and of course when we're talking about eschatology,

13:35.320 --> 13:37.800
when we're talking about the study of the end times,

13:37.800 --> 13:41.320
there's always going to be an element of conjecture

13:41.320 --> 13:44.360
in the sense that we have to guess about some things,

13:44.920 --> 13:50.200
more specific aspects of it that we may not necessarily know the details on today.

13:50.200 --> 13:55.240
And here's my conjecture when it comes to this invasion that'll come from the

13:55.400 --> 13:58.600
I think that this Israeli-Palestinian conflict,

13:58.600 --> 14:02.400
it's in the news today and it involves Lebanon as well,

14:02.400 --> 14:04.300
it's just gonna be perpetual.

14:04.300 --> 14:08.440
It's gonna be something that continues on and on and on.

14:08.440 --> 14:12.000
And it'll be the Antichrist who declares himself

14:12.000 --> 14:14.880
as the solution to that problem.

14:14.880 --> 14:17.440
The Bible says, by peace, he shall destroy many.

14:17.440 --> 14:20.640
I think it'll be the Antichrist who promises peace

14:20.640 --> 14:22.920
in the Middle East, promises an end.

14:22.920 --> 14:23.400
and.

14:23.400 --> 14:28.440
to this Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is seemingly unending today.

14:28.440 --> 14:34.560
And he's going to put an end to that conflict by invading Jerusalem by essentially, you

14:34.560 --> 14:38.280
know, he's going to wipe out a whole bunch of Jews in the process, by the way.

14:38.280 --> 14:43.040
And of course, sitting in the temple of God, proclaiming himself God and bringing peace

14:43.040 --> 14:45.240
to that region.

14:45.240 --> 14:48.760
Luke 21 is where he had you turn.

14:48.760 --> 14:50.640
But it'll be, you know, bringing peace.

14:51.100 --> 14:57.740
to the Middle East and ending that Israeli-Palestinian conflict that I believe will be the pretext

14:57.740 --> 14:59.860
for this invasion that we're reading about.

14:59.860 --> 15:02.500
Let's look at Luke 21 and verse 20.

15:02.500 --> 15:04.300
Luke 21 and verse 20.

15:04.300 --> 15:09.020
The Bible says, and when he shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the

15:09.020 --> 15:11.900
desolation thereof is nigh.

15:11.900 --> 15:14.180
Yes, this happened in 70 AD.

15:14.180 --> 15:16.020
I understand that.

15:16.020 --> 15:19.060
there's the rule of dual fulfillment.

15:19.100 --> 15:21.380
when we talk about Bible prophecy.

15:21.380 --> 15:24.620
And so the true fulfillment of this will come

15:24.620 --> 15:25.620
in the end times.

15:25.620 --> 15:28.740
And yeah, Jerusalem will be surrounded by armies,

15:28.740 --> 15:30.060
the Bible says.

15:30.060 --> 15:32.760
The Antichrist's armies will come past the city.

15:32.760 --> 15:33.980
They will invade.

15:33.980 --> 15:35.900
The Bible says, once you see that happen,

15:35.900 --> 15:38.100
the desolation thereof is nigh,

15:38.100 --> 15:39.860
meaning it's about to happen.

15:39.860 --> 15:41.340
This will occur.

15:42.000 --> 15:49.120
Now what does desolation refer to? A state of complete emptiness, destruction, or profound sadness.

15:50.240 --> 15:56.000
The question is, well, why? Why would the Antichrist do this? Again, to put an end to the conflict

15:56.000 --> 16:00.560
that I've been talking about, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I do believe he's going to

16:00.560 --> 16:06.800
promise peace, but in order to achieve that, there's going to be some bloodshed that happens

16:06.800 --> 16:09.600
first as he asserts his power.

16:10.100 --> 16:17.340
Now, there's a lot of talk when it comes to Israel about the Greater Israel Project.

16:17.340 --> 16:23.180
And the reality is when you look at the rhetoric that comes from Israeli politicians today,

16:23.180 --> 16:29.020
Ben Gavir being one of them, you look at what Benjamin Netanyahu has talked about as well,

16:29.020 --> 16:34.020
and Israeli journalists have given their views on this.

16:34.020 --> 16:36.860
And what do they all have in common is that they believe in...

16:37.600 --> 16:40.040
expanding Israel's borders.

16:40.040 --> 16:41.640
And in order to achieve that,

16:41.640 --> 16:44.440
it'll be through the Greater Israel Project,

16:44.440 --> 16:46.720
meaning that they take more land.

16:46.720 --> 16:50.200
They're not satisfied with the borders they have today.

16:50.200 --> 16:51.920
They would like to take more.

16:51.920 --> 16:54.760
And I think all of that is leading up to

16:54.760 --> 16:56.800
something very, very important

16:56.800 --> 16:58.640
that actually involves the United States.

16:58.640 --> 17:01.200
Let's look at Revelation 17, if you would,

17:01.200 --> 17:03.840
Revelation chapter 17.

17:06.000 --> 17:08.240
See, the Antichrist will invade.

17:08.240 --> 17:16.160
The Antichrist will set up in Jerusalem an idol that the Bible refers to as the abomination

17:16.160 --> 17:17.840
of desolation.

17:17.840 --> 17:23.180
This is an object, it is an idolatrous object that is set up in the Temple of Jerusalem.

17:23.180 --> 17:31.360
And the Antichrist will decree that those who don't worship that image will be decapitated.

17:31.700 --> 17:35.940
in order to take what people refer to as the mark of the beast.

17:35.940 --> 17:39.660
Some have guessed that this is some kind of RFID chip.

17:39.660 --> 17:43.580
But in order to take that mark of the beast,

17:43.580 --> 17:46.300
you will have to sell your soul to the devil.

17:46.300 --> 17:51.660
There will be those who have to worship the abomination of desolation to take this mark.

17:51.900 --> 17:56.980
Now the Bible says about Christians, if it were possible, He shall deceive the elect.

17:56.980 --> 17:59.380
It won't be possible for Christians to do this.

17:59.380 --> 18:01.220
We have the Holy Spirit.

18:01.220 --> 18:04.220
We will be incapable of taking the mark.

18:04.220 --> 18:06.220
there will be many who do this because

18:06.700 --> 18:09.740
the mark will enable them to buy or sell.

18:09.740 --> 18:11.940
And when it comes to the mark of the beast,

18:11.940 --> 18:16.180
you have to realize it is connected to the worship

18:16.180 --> 18:19.880
of this idol that will one day be set up

18:19.880 --> 18:24.720
in the temple in Jerusalem that will be rebuilt by the Jews.

18:24.720 --> 18:27.760
So when we see a temple in Jerusalem,

18:27.760 --> 18:29.260
when that day comes to pass,

18:29.260 --> 18:32.760
when the dome of the rock is destroyed and...

18:32.760 --> 18:32.900
you

18:33.000 --> 18:35.240
and a Jewish temple is built in its place.

18:35.240 --> 18:39.080
That's how you know we're getting closer to the end times.

18:39.080 --> 18:42.280
Now, it could be a while before these events come to pass,

18:42.280 --> 18:44.760
but you could look at that as perhaps a birth pang.

18:45.400 --> 18:49.800
Now, in Revelation 17, pay attention to verse 16.

18:50.000 --> 18:53.640
The Bible says in Revelation 17 and verse 16,

18:53.640 --> 18:56.800
and the 10 horns which thou sawest upon the beast,

18:56.800 --> 18:58.340
these shall hate the whore.

18:58.340 --> 19:00.080
This is in reference to Babylon,

19:00.080 --> 19:02.940
which was referred to as a whore.

19:02.940 --> 19:06.120
These shall hate the whore and shall make her desolate

19:06.120 --> 19:08.260
and naked and shall eat her flesh.

19:08.260 --> 19:11.860
And watch this and burn her with fire.

19:12.300 --> 19:17.460
For God had put it in their hearts to fulfill his will and to agree and give their kingdom

19:17.460 --> 19:21.460
unto the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

19:21.460 --> 19:26.180
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the

19:26.180 --> 19:27.180
earth."

19:27.180 --> 19:28.180
So you have ten horns.

19:28.180 --> 19:29.260
These are ten kings.

19:29.260 --> 19:34.340
And in the end times what happens is that they give their power unto the Antichrist who literally

19:34.340 --> 19:35.580
rules the world.

19:36.000 --> 19:40.400
And what he's going to do is dispose of Babylon.

19:40.400 --> 19:42.440
See, when he's done using Babylon,

19:42.440 --> 19:47.900
he's going to dispose of it like men do with whores.

19:48.100 --> 19:52.100
That's the reality of what the scripture is teaching us here.

19:52.100 --> 19:56.100
That's the painting that the scripture is painting for us,

19:56.100 --> 19:59.100
which is that, hey, Babylon in the end times,

19:59.100 --> 20:02.100
which I ascertain is the United States of America,

20:02.100 --> 20:05.100
is going to be used and abused and then chucked away.

20:05.600 --> 20:11.800
This is what narcissists do with people, and there's no bigger narcissist than the Antichrist.

20:11.800 --> 20:16.000
Narcissists will use people, and then when they are done with them,

20:16.000 --> 20:19.800
they engage in something called a narcissistic discard,

20:19.800 --> 20:24.000
where they remove the person, sometimes in a violent way.

20:24.000 --> 20:26.500
And that's exactly what will happen in the end times.

20:26.500 --> 20:31.400
But here's the point I'm trying to make, is that this kind of sounds like the Samson option to me.

20:31.400 --> 20:32.400
See if...

20:33.000 --> 20:34.500
Israel gets...

20:34.900 --> 20:40.900
you know, threatened to such a degree, they've openly stated, hey, they believe in a Samson option.

20:40.900 --> 20:46.420
Well, they'll use nuclear weapons and all kinds of craziness. And here the Bible talks about how

20:46.420 --> 20:52.580
Babylon is going to be burned with fire. It says in verse, the end of verse 16 there,

20:52.580 --> 20:59.940
and burn her with fire. That appears to be some kind of, in my opinion, in my conjecture,

20:59.940 --> 21:02.900
some kind of nuclear warhead that ends up colliding.

21:02.900 --> 21:06.500
with Babylon and wiping it out.

21:06.500 --> 21:11.100
So in my mind, when the Antichrist rules from Jerusalem,

21:11.100 --> 21:13.700
he sets up the abomination of desolation.

21:13.700 --> 21:15.600
He sets up the mark of the beast.

21:15.600 --> 21:17.600
You have great tribulation.

21:18.100 --> 21:24.260
I do think at that time greater Israel or at least a large part of that project even if it isn't the whole thing

21:24.400 --> 21:27.420
Will be established you say what's greater Israel?

21:27.460 --> 21:33.100
It's the larger borders that Israel is striving to obtain I'm talking about

21:33.620 --> 21:37.320
Syria Lebanon Iraq portions of

21:38.380 --> 21:44.100
Egypt and Jordan Saudi or all of Jordan Saudi Arabia a part of Turkey as well

21:44.900 --> 21:48.740
And some people think, well, this is just a conspiracy theory.

21:48.740 --> 21:52.700
There's no way that greater Israel will ever come to pass.

21:52.700 --> 21:59.100
But I want to remind you that Netanyahu, Bibi, as they call him, he said this,

21:59.100 --> 22:00.980
I think it was like today.

22:00.980 --> 22:05.420
He said 15 years from now, Israel will have a war with Egypt.

22:05.420 --> 22:06.820
That was his prediction.

22:07.000 --> 22:10.280
Why in the world would Israel fight with Egypt?

22:10.280 --> 22:14.320
What would be the purpose of a war between Israel and Egypt?

22:14.320 --> 22:17.240
Well, what's the purpose of all of Israel's wars?

22:17.240 --> 22:23.080
It's to take land and they're going to take more land and they want a portion of Egypt

22:23.080 --> 22:29.240
because there's a portion of Egypt that falls under the plan for greater Israel.

22:29.400 --> 22:34.480
And you know, IDF soldiers today, you can look this up if you don't believe me, they're

22:34.480 --> 22:43.200
literally walking around with a map of greater Israel on their arm, ladies and gentlemen,

22:43.200 --> 22:45.340
because they are planning for this day.

22:45.340 --> 22:50.200
And I think it will one day be established, and that will be where the Antichrist rules

22:50.200 --> 22:51.800
from in the end times.

22:51.800 --> 22:53.440
That'll be what Israel looks like.

22:53.440 --> 22:57.400
a much larger portion of the Middle East is what they will.

22:57.400 --> 23:00.600
will occupy in the end times.

23:00.600 --> 23:02.800
Let's go back to Luke 21, Luke 21.

23:04.200 --> 23:06.560
Meanwhile, I'll read for you from Zechariah 14,

23:06.560 --> 23:09.680
as you go back to Luke 21 and Zechariah 14,

23:09.680 --> 23:10.800
the Bible says,

23:10.800 --> 23:14.560
for I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle

23:14.560 --> 23:17.880
and the city shall be taken and the houses rifled

23:17.880 --> 23:19.160
and the women ravaged.

23:19.160 --> 23:20.600
Hey, this is judgment.

23:20.900 --> 23:28.900
This is God's judgment on Jerusalem and the army surround Jerusalem when it's trodden underfoot of the Gentiles in Revelation 11.

23:28.900 --> 23:36.900
It talks about this when the Gentiles are going to take over in Jerusalem and they'll do so for a three and a half year period.

23:36.900 --> 23:41.900
One thousand two hundred and ninety days and here's the reality.

23:41.900 --> 23:44.900
Yeah, God's not done with Israel. Sure.

23:45.500 --> 23:47.940
I get that. Yeah, God's not done with Israel.

23:47.940 --> 23:49.980
He's not done kicking their butt.

23:49.980 --> 23:52.340
All right. That's what the scripture teaches us here.

23:52.440 --> 23:54.740
God's not done kicking their butt.

23:54.740 --> 23:58.900
God's not done pouring out his wrath and judging them for the bloodshed

23:58.900 --> 24:01.840
and the persecution that they are responsible for.

24:02.040 --> 24:06.440
Let's look at Luke 21 and verse 21, Luke 21 and verse 21.

24:07.200 --> 24:11.860
The Bible says there, then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains and let

24:11.860 --> 24:16.200
them which are in the midst of it depart out and let not them that are in the countries

24:16.200 --> 24:23.120
enter therein to notice for these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written

24:23.120 --> 24:25.220
may be fulfilled.

24:25.220 --> 24:30.900
When this happens, when the Antichrist invades Jerusalem with his armies, when he sets up

24:30.900 --> 24:35.200
the image that I talked about, that idol in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.

24:35.200 --> 24:39.200
Many Jews will die. Many Jews will be hurt by this.

24:39.200 --> 24:43.200
The Bible talks about it. They're going to be trodden down of the Gentiles.

24:43.200 --> 24:46.200
That is language of judgment and wrath.

24:46.200 --> 24:50.200
And God will use this to judge the Jews.

24:50.500 --> 25:00.420
Here's what you have to understand is that in the Bible we see that God uses wicked people

25:00.420 --> 25:07.540
to judge other wicked people. This is a pattern in the scripture.

25:07.540 --> 25:12.980
God used Assyria to judge the northern kingdom of Israel.

25:13.600 --> 25:17.440
God used the Babylonians, and these are just famous examples.

25:17.440 --> 25:20.600
He's also used Egypt and other heathen nations as well.

25:20.600 --> 25:27.720
But the famous examples, Assyria used to judge and scatter the northern kingdom of Israel

25:27.720 --> 25:29.700
and occupied that land.

25:29.700 --> 25:32.840
It was a permanent occupation on them.

25:32.840 --> 25:36.280
Those ten tribes scattered permanently.

25:36.280 --> 25:41.600
Then he used the Babylonians to judge the southern kingdom of Judah.

25:42.100 --> 25:50.020
and he did so for 70 years of captivity before they did return to the land subsequently.

25:50.020 --> 25:56.260
Additionally, I would say in the end times that God will use the new world order global

25:56.260 --> 26:02.980
government that will be established to judge Jerusalem at the midpoint of Daniel's 70th week.

26:02.980 --> 26:09.780
This is why the Lord Jesus Christ said in verse 22, these be the days of vengeance.

26:10.100 --> 26:16.380
See, God is going to avenge the bloodshed that the Jews are responsible for, for all

26:16.380 --> 26:20.960
of their persecution and all of the innocent lives that have been slaughtered at the hands

26:20.960 --> 26:21.580
of Israel.

26:23.300 --> 26:28.200
God will avenge believers for persecution that they faced at the hands of Jews.

26:28.200 --> 26:30.440
These be the days of vengeance.

26:30.440 --> 26:35.440
There's a reason why Israel is referred to as an enemy of the gospel.

26:35.440 --> 26:37.680
It'll be trodden down underfoot of the Gentiles.

26:37.680 --> 26:41.380
It'll get what it has coming to it for all of the bloodshed,

26:41.380 --> 26:43.520
the evil that it's responsible for.

26:43.520 --> 26:46.680
Jesus Christ himself said in Matthew chapter 23

26:46.680 --> 26:51.020
that they were responsible for the bloodshed of Abel all the way to Zacharias.

26:51.600 --> 26:57.320
Ultimately, this is judgment for hating Jesus, hating Jesus.

26:57.320 --> 27:01.680
Now look, I'm not saying that there haven't been Jews who've gotten saved.

27:01.680 --> 27:07.680
Sure, you know, a pastor I really enjoy listening to, Pastor Steven Anderson, he's baptized

27:07.680 --> 27:10.440
a Jew.

27:10.440 --> 27:13.680
And you know, I know I look Jewish, but I'm not.

27:13.680 --> 27:13.840
All right.

27:14.700 --> 27:20.280
You know, look, there's Semitic people for sure in the Middle East in general, whether

27:20.280 --> 27:22.320
they're Jews or Arabs who've gotten saved.

27:22.320 --> 27:26.880
I know Jews could get, listen, Jews can get saved if they believe on Jesus Christ, but

27:26.880 --> 27:32.140
those who have a vitriolic attitude toward Jesus, who want nothing to do with Jesus,

27:32.140 --> 27:37.680
who persecute missionaries, who try to preach in their land, those Jews, let me tell you

27:37.680 --> 27:39.720
something, God's wrath is on them.

27:42.300 --> 27:45.900
Yeah, the Jews will mourn as they look on him whom they pierced.

27:45.900 --> 27:48.340
That was fulfilled in John chapter 19.

27:48.340 --> 27:51.660
And in the end times, sure, they'll be mourning, but they'll be mourning because they know

27:51.660 --> 27:53.460
that judgment is coming.

27:53.460 --> 27:59.780
They will know, I do believe this sincerely, that they will know that their time is up.

27:59.780 --> 28:01.540
Their time is up.

28:01.540 --> 28:05.360
Folks, the modern day state of Israel, it loves violence.

28:05.360 --> 28:06.360
You cannot deny this.

28:06.360 --> 28:09.460
I want to give you just some recent events.

28:09.800 --> 28:13.200
The Rafa strikes April 2024.

28:13.200 --> 28:18.400
Three Israeli strikes killed 44 civilians, including 32 children.

28:18.400 --> 28:20.400
One hit children playing foosball.

28:20.400 --> 28:23.700
Others struck homes where families slept.

28:23.700 --> 28:25.800
You say, well, what about the Arab terrorists?

28:25.800 --> 28:26.700
Sure.

28:26.700 --> 28:28.700
I, look, I hate Islam.

28:28.700 --> 28:29.200
Islam?

28:29.200 --> 28:29.800
Are you kidding me?

28:29.800 --> 28:30.900
Muhammad's a pedophile.

28:30.900 --> 28:32.000
I'm not for...

28:32.200 --> 28:34.200
Islamic terrorists or anything like that.

28:34.200 --> 28:37.500
I'm not for Hezabullah or Hamas or any, of course not.

28:37.500 --> 28:39.500
But you know what? It doesn't excuse this.

28:39.500 --> 28:44.000
Because you know what? The answer to terrorism is not more terrorism.

28:44.000 --> 28:51.000
You don't kill children in response to whatever perceived aggression you may be facing as a society.

28:51.000 --> 28:52.000
Let's keep going here.

28:52.000 --> 28:55.000
There's a refugee camp strike, March 2026.

28:55.600 --> 29:00.040
Israeli airstrikes killed at least 12 Palestinians, which by the way, they've genocided them.

29:00.040 --> 29:01.540
That's just a reality.

29:01.540 --> 29:05.540
Including two boys, a pregnant woman, and others in a house, hospital officials reported

29:05.540 --> 29:08.820
the deaths amid ongoing ceasefire violations.

29:09.400 --> 29:14.760
May 2026, multiple strikes killed 13 to 19 people, including four women and at least

29:14.760 --> 29:16.160
one child.

29:16.160 --> 29:20.640
Reports of up to four women and children across sites that I can't pronounce.

29:20.640 --> 29:25.280
This occurred despite a ceasefire with Lebanese Health Ministry figures.

29:25.280 --> 29:31.120
May 2026, Israel murders a Lebanese family with a drone as they tried to evacuate.

29:31.120 --> 29:34.320
June 1, Israel bombs hospitals and tire.

29:35.400 --> 29:39.720
There's also a recent video of a female Israeli IDF.

29:39.720 --> 29:41.840
I would call this terrorism.

29:41.840 --> 29:43.640
This woman says, I killed a boy.

29:43.640 --> 29:45.320
At the time, I would think about it a lot.

29:45.320 --> 29:46.840
Now we just laugh about it.

29:46.840 --> 29:50.620
You say, why is it that the Bible says these be the days of vengeance?

29:50.620 --> 29:54.960
Because this blood must be avenged, and it will be in the end times.

29:56.200 --> 30:03.320
Tens of thousands of women and children killed overall in Gaza operations in Lebanon post 2023 in the

30:03.960 --> 30:07.400
2026 hundreds of civilian deaths have occurred amid the

30:08.040 --> 30:12.200
Conflict with Hezbollah including post ceasefire strikes

30:12.640 --> 30:18.400
Israel is killing an average of 14 kids a day in Lebanon right now right now

30:19.900 --> 30:26.780
June 2026, the Israeli minister Ben Gavir said this, quote, We cannot stop destroying houses in

30:26.780 --> 30:34.620
southern Lebanon. We cannot stop period. How's God blessing this? How is this the apple of God's eye

30:34.620 --> 30:40.060
right here? This monster. He also said this for every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand

30:40.060 --> 30:44.220
Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn.

30:45.500 --> 30:47.700
But I thought they only acted in self-defense.

30:47.700 --> 30:51.580
I thought that Israel only acted in self-defense when it gets attacked.

30:51.580 --> 30:59.180
Yet we have this psychopath here, this Ben Gavir, saying that he wants to make Lebanese mothers weep.

31:00.380 --> 31:03.500
The guy's talking about killing children, ladies and gentlemen.

31:03.500 --> 31:04.060
Wicked.

31:04.060 --> 31:05.420
This is disgusting.

31:05.420 --> 31:06.940
This is an abomination.

31:06.940 --> 31:09.260
This is just abhorrent.

31:09.260 --> 31:10.700
And you know what?

31:10.700 --> 31:12.620
The thing is that the Zionists today...

31:13.000 --> 31:16.200
It's like they're just, they don't want to accept that this is even happening.

31:16.200 --> 31:19.080
They put the blinders on because it's inconvenient.

31:19.080 --> 31:23.320
But the reality is, this post is on X right now, Ben Gavir.

31:23.320 --> 31:26.920
And he is an important official in the Israeli government.

31:27.960 --> 31:30.600
And he's talking about burning an entire nation.

31:30.600 --> 31:34.440
That, ladies and gentlemen, is called genocide.

31:35.700 --> 31:39.940
They want to murder children in the Middle East today.

31:39.940 --> 31:41.860
God is not blessing this.

31:41.860 --> 31:44.980
These are not people who are the apple of God's eye.

31:44.980 --> 31:47.540
These are people who are under the wrath of God,

31:47.540 --> 31:50.740
and they will pay for every single child

31:50.740 --> 31:52.820
that they're responsible for slaughtering.

31:52.820 --> 31:55.540
Every single Palestinian, every single Lebanese.

31:55.540 --> 31:57.860
And don't think that, oh, those are just a bunch of Muslims.

31:57.860 --> 31:59.460
Even if they were, you know,

31:59.460 --> 32:01.540
they're still fearfully and wonderfully made.

32:01.800 --> 32:06.200
And you know what, there's plenty of people who claim the name of Christ who live in these areas.

32:06.200 --> 32:10.120
I lived in Lebanon for six years and I can tell you that there's a large

32:10.120 --> 32:15.000
Christian community there and they're getting slaughtered by Israel.

32:17.160 --> 32:23.720
And you know this psychopath is bragging about how he wants to just wipe all of them out.

32:25.320 --> 32:28.520
And yet people make the argument that these are God's people.

32:29.600 --> 32:31.800
He says, I am for war crimes.

32:31.800 --> 32:36.400
I'm unable to sleep at night if I do not see houses being destroyed in Gaza.

32:36.400 --> 32:38.800
I want to see more of them destroyed.

32:38.800 --> 32:40.800
This is not normal, ladies and gentlemen.

32:40.800 --> 32:42.900
This is not normal.

32:42.900 --> 32:44.500
This is bloodlust.

32:44.500 --> 32:50.200
The Bible says in Proverbs chapter 6 that God hates the hands that shed innocent blood.

32:50.200 --> 32:55.600
And there is plenty of innocent blood that has been shed at the hands of Israel.

32:56.800 --> 33:02.360
And Israel has always claimed that it acts in self-defense as it slaughters children

33:02.360 --> 33:05.420
in the Middle East, Lebanese, Palestinians.

33:05.420 --> 33:07.360
This is nothing new.

33:07.360 --> 33:10.160
But you can see that that's not the case.

33:10.160 --> 33:14.680
The Bible says in Psalm 10, you don't have to turn there, he sitteth in the lurking places

33:14.680 --> 33:18.520
of the villages and the secret places doth he murder the innocent.

33:18.520 --> 33:19.500
His eyes are...

33:19.600 --> 33:25.500
Privilege set against the poor. That's Israel today. That's why it's going to be judged by God and

33:26.520 --> 33:32.660
They're under the wrath of God right now. This is why the Jews have been kicked out of a hundred and nine countries

33:33.500 --> 33:35.500
murdering the innocent from secret places

33:36.060 --> 33:38.300
via drone strikes and missiles

33:38.980 --> 33:46.040
Bombing people slaughtering people then claiming self-defense self-defense from what women and children?

33:48.300 --> 33:51.180
Is Hezbollah in the hospital that you destroyed?

33:51.180 --> 33:54.620
Is Hezbollah in the schools that you bombed?

33:54.620 --> 33:57.820
Look, as a Christian, we are not obligated to support this.

33:57.900 --> 34:02.220
We are not obligated to support this evil, this murderous regime.

34:02.220 --> 34:04.140
In fact, it's quite the opposite.

34:04.140 --> 34:06.060
See, the Lord Jesus Christ, He said,

34:06.060 --> 34:11.580
hey, think not that your children of Abraham,

34:11.580 --> 34:14.860
you know, the Lord Jesus Christ, He said, your children of the devil.

34:14.860 --> 34:16.060
That's what He said.

34:16.060 --> 34:17.660
Let's look at Revelation 13.

34:19.980 --> 34:21.260
You know, in the 80s, it was

34:22.300 --> 34:27.500
Israel that invaded Lebanon to try to wipe out the Palestinian Liberation Organization,

34:27.500 --> 34:32.700
and it was through this invasion that Hezbollah rose to prominence.

34:32.700 --> 34:37.700
And the reality is this is a country that's always acted in an aggressive manner,

34:37.700 --> 34:41.000
ethnically cleansing its neighbors and entire areas,

34:41.000 --> 34:44.300
and I think to push for this greater Israel project.

34:44.300 --> 34:47.900
But I want you to notice in Revelation 13,

34:48.500 --> 34:54.380
The Bible says, and deceive at them in verse 14, Revelation 13, 14, and deceive at them

34:54.380 --> 34:59.500
that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight

34:59.500 --> 35:03.420
of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to

35:03.420 --> 35:06.580
the beast which had the wound by a sword and did live.

35:07.200 --> 35:12.560
So we know that the Antichrist in Jerusalem, what's going to happen is he does receive a

35:12.560 --> 35:18.640
deadly wound to the head and then he ends up coming back. How this happens, I'm not sure,

35:18.640 --> 35:25.680
but what it's meant to be is a mockery of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. That's

35:25.680 --> 35:26.600
the point.

35:27.100 --> 35:31.420
Now, this image, again, it is the pretext.

35:31.420 --> 35:36.020
It is what you must worship to receive the mark.

35:36.020 --> 35:38.180
And it's designed to damn souls.

35:38.180 --> 35:40.100
That's the point of it.

35:40.100 --> 35:41.100
And you know what?

35:41.100 --> 35:44.460
There will be many, many, many people who are damned at this time.

35:44.460 --> 35:46.100
And it's sad.

35:46.100 --> 35:47.820
Let's look at Daniel 11 together.

35:47.820 --> 35:49.780
Daniel 11.

35:49.780 --> 35:51.000
Daniel chapter 11.

35:53.500 --> 35:56.860
Here's something important to understand as well about Israel in the end times.

35:56.860 --> 35:59.900
It's that Jews will accept the Antichrist.

36:00.700 --> 36:02.380
Jews will accept the Antichrist.

36:04.620 --> 36:06.780
Daniel 11, look at verse 30.

36:06.780 --> 36:08.940
Daniel 11, when you get there, look at verse 30.

36:10.620 --> 36:12.780
So we know that there's going to be a rebuilt temple.

36:12.780 --> 36:14.060
We know there's going to be an idol.

36:14.060 --> 36:19.580
We know that God uses this to judge unbelieving Israel, the unbelieving Jews.

36:20.600 --> 36:23.200
Daniel 11, look at verse 30, the Bible says...

36:25.200 --> 36:27.760
For the ships of Khatim shall come against him.

36:27.760 --> 36:28.760
Verse 30.

36:28.760 --> 36:33.760
Therefore, he shall be grieved and return and have indignation against the Holy Covenant.

36:33.760 --> 36:34.960
So shall he do.

36:34.960 --> 36:40.560
He shall even return and have intelligence with them that forsake the Holy Covenant.

36:40.560 --> 36:46.360
So this king has intelligence with them that forsake the Holy Covenant, the Mosaic Law.

36:46.360 --> 36:52.000
Now again, looking at this from the end times perspective, historically, we know that

36:53.000 --> 37:03.000
It was the Jews who first took the law that ended up accepting Antiochus epiphanies, which is what this is.

37:03.000 --> 37:05.000
But that's a shadow fulfillment of this passage.

37:05.000 --> 37:15.000
But in the end times, I believe it'll be the more liberal Jews who accept the Antichrist, who end up taking the mark of the beast and worship him.

37:15.000 --> 37:21.000
I would also argue that probably the political Zionists will also worship the Antichrist that accept them.

37:21.000 --> 37:28.000
them. And that will be how they are able to complete their greater Israel expansion.

37:28.000 --> 37:30.000
But understand that...

37:30.500 --> 37:34.420
There's going to be a segment of Jews who actually do reject the Antichrist.

37:34.420 --> 37:40.900
I think that the Orthodox and the Hasidic Jews probably won't want to worship the Antichrist,

37:40.900 --> 37:45.140
but I think the more liberal Jews, I think those who are more of a political Zionist

37:45.140 --> 37:48.340
persuasion, I do believe they will take the mark of the beast.

37:48.340 --> 37:52.740
You know, in Jesus, he said, I am come in my father's name and you receive me not.

37:52.740 --> 37:57.620
If another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

37:57.620 --> 37:58.500
That's what Jesus said.

37:58.500 --> 38:05.500
And I do think that this tells us, yeah, a large swath of the Jews, I would say probably most of them,

38:05.500 --> 38:10.500
will take the mark and they will worship the Antichrist.

38:10.500 --> 38:14.400
Those who don't are going to be wiped out by the Antichrist.

38:16.400 --> 38:20.720
You know, Ben Shapiro, he said in a 2019 interview with William Lane Craig,

38:20.720 --> 38:26.960
the Messiah in Judaism has always been a political figure who's destined to do

38:26.960 --> 38:31.120
certain things, restoring the Kingdom of Israel. And that kind of sounds like the greater Israel

38:31.120 --> 38:32.300
project to me.

38:32.300 --> 38:36.540
maintaining control of that kingdom, bringing more Jews back to Israel.

38:36.540 --> 38:41.060
All these things are considered political things that the Messiah does.

38:41.060 --> 38:43.060
So they're looking for a political figure.

38:43.060 --> 38:46.060
Well, the Antichrist is going to give them exactly what they want

38:46.060 --> 38:49.300
because he will be a political figure.

38:50.400 --> 38:56.680
Reconstructing Judaism cites the Mishnah Torah written by a Jewish philosopher who quote,

38:56.680 --> 39:00.120
envisions a world governed by a king Messiah who was wise,

39:00.120 --> 39:03.480
righteous, just, and politically adept.

39:03.480 --> 39:06.120
Judaism 101 says,

39:06.120 --> 39:09.120
he will establish a government in Israel that will be

39:09.120 --> 39:11.160
the center of all world government,

39:11.160 --> 39:12.920
both for Jews and Gentiles.

39:12.920 --> 39:13.100
you

39:13.300 --> 39:20.300
very, very close to, in fact, I would say identical to what the Antichrist will do.

39:20.300 --> 39:24.740
He will set up a world government in Jerusalem.

39:24.740 --> 39:28.740
And look, yeah, I do think many Jews will be destroyed at the midpoint, but there will

39:28.740 --> 39:33.960
also be many, I would say, the plurality of them, most of them, will end up taking the

39:33.960 --> 39:36.740
mark of the beast, will worship the Antichrist.

39:36.740 --> 39:39.460
Turn if you would to Revelation 16, Revelation 16.

39:42.800 --> 39:48.200
So again, I think it's possible that conservative Jews like the Orthodox, the Hasidics, get

39:48.200 --> 39:55.320
pummeled and then it'll be the more liberal and also the political Jews that end up receiving

39:55.320 --> 39:57.320
the Antichrist with open arms.

39:57.320 --> 39:59.040
That's just my speculation.

39:59.040 --> 40:04.620
I could be wrong about that, but I'm just sort of making sense of what we see, I think,

40:04.620 --> 40:05.620
in the Bible.

40:05.620 --> 40:07.400
The fourth step and the fourth.

40:07.500 --> 40:11.640
highlight here that I want to go over is that Jerusalem's going to be split into

40:11.640 --> 40:12.500
three parts.

40:12.500 --> 40:16.260
Remember I said God's not done with Israel meaning he's not done judging

40:16.260 --> 40:19.460
them and we see that in the book of Revelation. Look at Revelation 16

40:19.460 --> 40:23.000
and verse 17. Revelation 16

40:23.100 --> 40:27.600
And verse 17, and the seventh angel poured out as vial into the air.

40:27.840 --> 40:31.140
And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven from the throne,

40:31.140 --> 40:32.520
saying, it is done.

40:32.520 --> 40:38.020
Now, this seventh vial is poured out at the same time as the seventh trumpet.

40:38.020 --> 40:40.320
And it offers for us a different perspective.

40:40.700 --> 40:44.140
on what happens during the wrath of God.

40:44.140 --> 40:50.140
See, there's coming a time where God will pour out his wrath on this world for a period

40:50.140 --> 40:53.060
of three and a half years.

40:53.060 --> 40:59.800
The height of God's wrath occurs right here at the seventh vial, the seventh trumpet.

40:59.800 --> 41:03.300
And notice what happens to Jerusalem at this time.

41:03.300 --> 41:05.180
Let's look at verse 19.

41:05.180 --> 41:08.680
Revelation 16 and verse 19, and the great Savior

41:08.700 --> 41:14.340
was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and great

41:14.340 --> 41:18.860
Babylon came in remembrance before God to give unto her the cup of the wine of

41:18.860 --> 41:20.500
the fierceness of his wrath.

41:21.100 --> 41:29.100
So notice it says the great cities divided into three parts, Revelation 16 and verse 19.

41:29.100 --> 41:37.340
What is this catastrophic destruction from some sort of earthquake, some sort of cataclysmic event

41:37.340 --> 41:46.140
that results in Jerusalem literally being split apart. It is divided into multiple parts and we

41:46.140 --> 41:49.020
see that during this time there will be the wide

41:49.100 --> 41:56.540
spread collapse of cities. It'll be 9-11 events happening globally. Jerusalem divided into

41:56.540 --> 42:04.980
three parts. It'll get a taste of its own medicine in a sense that the destruction here,

42:04.980 --> 42:11.860
a further portion of God's wrath, not just through the initial invasion by the Antichrist,

42:11.860 --> 42:17.080
but also through cataclysmic events that come directly from God.

42:17.100 --> 42:23.800
this to judge Israel. And then let's look at Zechariah 3.

42:24.300 --> 42:28.700
Hey, what else will happen with Israel in the end times?

42:28.700 --> 42:31.740
Talked about a temple being built there.

42:31.740 --> 42:35.440
Talked about the Antichrist invading.

42:35.440 --> 42:38.820
Talked about that there will be many, many Jews

42:38.820 --> 42:40.920
who accept the Antichrist.

42:40.920 --> 42:45.520
Talked about Jerusalem being split into three parts.

42:45.520 --> 42:47.620
Well, next we know...

42:48.000 --> 42:54.160
According to Zechariah 3, where I had you turn, the iniquity is removed.

42:54.160 --> 42:56.720
The iniquity is removed.

42:56.720 --> 43:03.640
The Lord Jesus Christ will remove the iniquity from Israel.

43:03.640 --> 43:07.160
And it'll be the Jews who recognize, man, we are in trouble.

43:07.600 --> 43:11.760
Look at Zechariah 3 and verse 8, Zechariah 3 and verse 8.

43:11.760 --> 43:17.520
Here now, O Joshua, the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee, for they

43:17.520 --> 43:18.720
are men wandered at.

43:18.720 --> 43:22.320
For behold, I will bring forth my servant the branch.

43:22.320 --> 43:27.960
For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua upon one stone shall be seven eyes.

43:27.960 --> 43:32.960
Behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove

43:32.960 --> 43:35.520
the iniquity of that land.

43:35.600 --> 43:41.760
in one day. So here in Zechariah 3 and verse 9 we see that the iniquity of the land

43:41.760 --> 43:45.200
is removed. This is a prophecy concerning

43:45.200 --> 43:49.600
the branch otherwise known as Jesus and he's gonna remove

43:49.600 --> 43:52.720
the wicked element from Jerusalem,

43:52.720 --> 43:55.720
from Israel in one day. What day is that?

43:56.200 --> 43:58.700
the battle of Armageddon.

43:58.700 --> 44:00.920
At the end of Daniel 70th week,

44:00.920 --> 44:02.960
Revelation 19 talks about this,

44:02.960 --> 44:05.760
how Jesus will come back on a white horse.

44:05.760 --> 44:08.360
He will wipe out the Antichrist's armies.

44:08.360 --> 44:10.960
He will slay the remnant as well.

44:10.960 --> 44:12.900
Those who took the mark of the beast,

44:12.900 --> 44:16.900
I think will be taken out during that time.

44:16.900 --> 44:21.260
And the iniquity of the land is going to be removed.

44:21.260 --> 44:23.860
It will be gone.

44:24.400 --> 44:28.560
Bible says, and the remnant were slain, talking about the Battle of Armageddon,

44:28.560 --> 44:31.040
with the sword of him that sat upon the horse.

44:31.680 --> 44:37.200
Jesus will make sure that the wicked are taken out from Jerusalem.

44:38.240 --> 44:40.720
They're going to be slain by the sword of his mouth, the Bible says.

44:41.360 --> 44:44.720
Now turn, if you would, to Isaiah 65, Isaiah 65.

44:46.700 --> 44:52.060
Yeah, God's not done with Israel because the Jews as a group are going to get smoked by

44:52.060 --> 44:53.060
Jesus.

44:53.060 --> 44:56.700
You say, well, is there hope for them?

44:56.700 --> 45:00.980
Yeah, they got to repent of Judaism and believe in Jesus Christ before it's too late.

45:03.800 --> 45:07.700
You know what Jesus said, but those mine enemies which would not that I should reign over them,

45:07.700 --> 45:11.280
bring hither and slay them before me.

45:11.280 --> 45:12.280
That's what Christ said.

45:12.280 --> 45:14.920
Hey, God's not done with Israel.

45:14.920 --> 45:15.920
They're going to get smoked.

45:15.920 --> 45:17.680
They're going to get wiped out.

45:17.680 --> 45:23.320
Unbelieving Israel prior to the millennium is going to get wiped out.

45:23.320 --> 45:28.320
They don't want Christ to rule over them and they're going to get what they asked for.

45:29.200 --> 45:32.240
Isaiah 65, look at verse 13.

45:32.240 --> 45:34.920
Isaiah 65, look at verse 13.

45:34.920 --> 45:41.040
Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry.

45:41.040 --> 45:44.480
Behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty.

45:44.480 --> 45:48.460
Behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed.

45:48.460 --> 45:53.200
You notice the designation there between the servants of God and those who are getting

45:53.200 --> 45:54.000
judged?

45:54.300 --> 46:00.980
Because, you see, what you have to realize is that there's always been a spiritual line.

46:00.980 --> 46:07.180
And it's the spiritual line that did believe, that was saved, and they are blessed by God.

46:07.500 --> 46:11.600
This is how God did not break his promises to Israel.

46:11.600 --> 46:14.900
You know, it was the apostle Paul who said in Romans chapter 11,

46:14.900 --> 46:17.100
hey, is God done with his people?

46:17.100 --> 46:21.100
No, God forbid, for I also am an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin.

46:21.100 --> 46:24.100
You see, the reality is he believed.

46:24.100 --> 46:25.300
He got saved.

46:25.300 --> 46:30.700
And so the Jews who got saved, you know, it's not like they were replaced,

46:30.700 --> 46:32.200
because they believed.

46:32.200 --> 46:33.200
They're saved.

46:33.400 --> 46:37.080
God didn't break His promises to them, but those who rejected Jesus, who said,

46:37.080 --> 46:41.480
His blood be on us and on our children, they're the ones who are under the curse.

46:42.360 --> 46:49.960
Verse 14, behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart,

46:49.960 --> 46:55.640
and shall howl for vexation of spirit. And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen,

46:55.640 --> 47:00.120
for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call His servants by another name.

47:00.700 --> 47:02.940
We see just like in Luke 19 it says,

47:02.940 --> 47:05.900
those mine enemies which would not that I should reign over them

47:05.900 --> 47:07.980
bring hither and slay them before me.

47:07.980 --> 47:12.740
The same group prophesied about in Isaiah 65

47:12.740 --> 47:17.820
when it says for the Lord God shall slay thee.

47:17.820 --> 47:20.220
And I want to call your attention to a verse here.

47:20.500 --> 47:26.500
You know, when it comes to Israel, when it comes to what the word of God says about them,

47:26.500 --> 47:28.380
I quoted this earlier.

47:28.380 --> 47:29.380
I'll just quote this for you.

47:29.380 --> 47:35.980
Matthew chapter three, it says, bring forth therefore meats, fruit for repentance.

47:35.980 --> 47:39.860
And think not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham to our father, for I say unto

47:39.860 --> 47:45.300
you that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

47:46.200 --> 47:51.720
Now, what powerful preaching there from, you know, John the Baptist, when he talks about

47:51.720 --> 47:56.000
how God is able to raise up stones, children of these stones under Abraham, because it

47:56.000 --> 47:58.300
was always a spiritual line.

47:58.300 --> 48:04.840
And it's the spiritual children of Abraham who are referred to, in my mind, as the servants

48:04.840 --> 48:06.900
in Isaiah 65.

48:06.900 --> 48:09.900
it's those who are getting slain who are

48:10.100 --> 48:15.700
Spiritual ishmaelites, those who did not get saved, those who did not believe the gospel.

48:15.700 --> 48:24.180
And at the end times, right before Christ sets up his millennium, they will get smoked.

48:24.180 --> 48:26.100
Let's go to Matthew 19.

48:26.100 --> 48:30.700
Here's my last point, Matthew chapter 19.

48:30.700 --> 48:33.100
I think I said the stones unto Abraham.

48:33.100 --> 48:37.100
I mentioned, I think I like accidentally attributed that to Jesus earlier.

48:37.100 --> 48:37.600
So.

48:37.700 --> 48:39.000
I just cleaned that up now.

48:39.000 --> 48:40.140
Misspoke.

48:40.140 --> 48:42.940
But there in Matthew chapter 19.

48:49.600 --> 48:52.200
We're going to read a very important passage here.

48:52.200 --> 48:53.440
And this is my last point.

48:55.720 --> 48:57.360
All Israel shall be saved.

48:59.200 --> 49:00.840
All Israel shall be saved.

49:02.080 --> 49:03.960
You want to talk about Israeli end times?

49:03.960 --> 49:06.160
Yeah, it involves wrath.

49:06.160 --> 49:08.040
It involves judgment.

49:08.040 --> 49:09.920
It involves bloodshed.

49:09.920 --> 49:11.840
It involves vengeance.

49:11.840 --> 49:13.280
No question about that.

49:13.280 --> 49:14.160
But you know what?

49:14.160 --> 49:16.160
There is a happy ending to the story.

49:16.600 --> 49:22.740
Because Romans 11 26 teaches all Israel shall be saved and I'll explain what that means in a minute

49:23.040 --> 49:25.160
But all Israel will one day

49:25.760 --> 49:29.960
Consist only of believers. That's what the scripture teaches

49:30.680 --> 49:33.720
And I think we see that in in Matthew chapter 19

49:35.400 --> 49:40.840
Now some would argue, well, what this means is that when Jesus returns for the Battle

49:40.840 --> 49:45.480
of Armageddon, the Jews just automatically get converted.

49:45.480 --> 49:48.000
But there's a giant problem with that.

49:48.000 --> 49:52.880
First of all, it would mean that they got saved by sight rather than faith, so that

49:52.880 --> 49:54.840
is an issue.

49:54.840 --> 49:57.480
Additionally, let's use some logic here.

49:58.800 --> 50:05.680
The Jews, by the time we get to the end of Daniel 70th week, have either been destroyed by the

50:05.680 --> 50:12.640
Antichrist, or, so they're already dead, or they took the mark of the beast. I think that's obvious

50:13.520 --> 50:17.600
that they're going to either take the mark of the beast or get wiped out by the Antichrist.

50:17.600 --> 50:22.800
It just doesn't seem realistic that there's going to be millions of Jews alive.

50:23.500 --> 50:27.100
by the time we get to the end of Daniel 70th week,

50:27.100 --> 50:32.300
that have not taken the mark of the beast.

50:32.300 --> 50:33.500
It's just weird to me.

50:33.500 --> 50:36.100
Like, that doesn't seem realistic whatsoever.

50:36.100 --> 50:37.900
We're not going to get to the end of the seven years,

50:37.900 --> 50:39.100
and there's going to be millions of Jews

50:39.100 --> 50:40.800
who didn't worship the Antichrist

50:40.800 --> 50:42.400
and didn't take the mark.

50:42.400 --> 50:44.300
They would have all taken it by that point.

50:44.300 --> 50:47.600
So, if you think that they're all just magically going to get saved,

50:47.600 --> 50:47.700
you

50:47.800 --> 50:52.000
then you would have to believe that they're getting saved despite taking the mark.

50:52.000 --> 50:56.800
But the problem is we know Revelation chapter 20 and there's scriptures that teach us that,

50:56.800 --> 50:59.600
hey, if you take the mark, you're going to go to hell.

50:59.600 --> 51:01.600
You can't get saved.

51:01.600 --> 51:08.600
So these Jews who took the mark are just all going to get saved when Romans 11, 26 comes to pass?

51:08.800 --> 51:10.800
That doesn't work. It doesn't fit.

51:10.800 --> 51:16.300
See, false doctrine, it's like a puzzle piece that just isn't fitting with the rest of the puzzle.

51:16.600 --> 51:21.400
That's why we have to take the Bible in its entirety, and we have to look at what the

51:21.400 --> 51:26.600
scripture is telling us as a whole and compare scripture with scripture.

51:26.600 --> 51:30.440
Yes, there's a restoration coming for Israel.

51:30.440 --> 51:36.920
I do believe there's a happy ending to their story eschatologically, but that doesn't mean

51:36.920 --> 51:40.440
that there's a magical conversion happening.

51:40.440 --> 51:42.080
That doesn't work.

51:42.300 --> 51:45.060
Let me tell you what's actually going to happen.

51:45.060 --> 51:46.860
We're there in Matthew 19.

51:46.860 --> 51:48.260
Look at verse 28.

51:49.500 --> 51:55.760
Matthew 19 and verse 28 and Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you that ye which

51:55.760 --> 52:02.040
have followed me in the regeneration, Matthew 19 28, when the Son of Man shall sit in the

52:02.040 --> 52:09.120
throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones judging, notice the twelve

52:09.120 --> 52:11.520
tribes of Israel.

52:11.520 --> 52:17.000
Folks, did you know there's a resurrection happening in the future?

52:17.000 --> 52:17.500
Bible refer.

52:17.500 --> 52:24.300
to it in Revelation 20 as the first resurrection. Did you know that at the rapture every believer

52:24.300 --> 52:32.300
who's ever existed is going to rise again from the dead physically and given glorified bodies?

52:32.860 --> 52:39.740
And did you know that many of those who are resurrected are going to be ethnically Israelites

52:40.300 --> 52:44.540
of the tribes of Israel who did believe, who did get saved?

52:45.000 --> 52:49.700
And there's going to be every believer who's ever existed

52:49.700 --> 52:52.800
who comes back to life physically regenerated.

52:52.800 --> 52:55.240
The Bible says in the regeneration,

52:55.240 --> 52:58.200
12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel,

52:58.200 --> 53:03.120
those who rose again from the dead courtesy of the gospel.

53:03.120 --> 53:05.720
And they will inhabit Israel.

53:07.020 --> 53:08.520
Here's what I'm trying to say.

53:08.900 --> 53:15.340
Remember how I said that it's the unbelieving Jews who get wiped out at the end of Daniel's 70th week?

53:16.240 --> 53:22.120
When Jesus sets up his kingdom on this earth, there is no unbelieving Israel anymore.

53:22.840 --> 53:30.240
The only people who call themselves Israel during the Millennium are going to be those who are saved.

53:30.840 --> 53:32.200
Just like today.

53:32.500 --> 53:35.700
Every single member of the spiritual Israel is saved.

53:35.700 --> 53:36.700
Well, you know what?

53:36.700 --> 53:42.200
When Jesus sets up his kingdom on this earth, every single person who's a part of that kingdom

53:42.200 --> 53:45.300
will be people who believed the gospel.

53:45.300 --> 53:49.100
That kingdom will contain those who believed the gospel.

53:49.100 --> 53:56.300
There's coming a day when Israel will contain only those who believed the gospel.

53:56.300 --> 53:58.500
It'll consist only of believers.

53:59.000 --> 54:01.440
and Jesus will preside over that.

54:01.440 --> 54:04.480
He's not gonna preside over a blasphemous Jewish state

54:04.480 --> 54:05.820
that hates him.

54:05.820 --> 54:10.820
No, he's presiding over a nation that already believes.

54:11.900 --> 54:17.420
and they will be regenerated and they will be the Israel that exists in the millennium.

54:17.420 --> 54:23.260
Unbelieving Israel wiped out, will not exist when Jesus sets up his kingdom.

54:23.260 --> 54:30.700
They will be slain and it'll be the believing Israel consisting of both Jew and Gentile

54:30.700 --> 54:35.580
that inherit the millennium. Let's look at Psalm 37, Psalm 37.

54:37.980 --> 54:38.540
Hey, I don't...

54:39.000 --> 54:44.860
Deny that yeah one day Israel is gonna be righteous because it'll consist only of believers

54:45.580 --> 54:49.220
That physical nation will one day consist only of believers

54:49.220 --> 54:55.340
The iniquity is gonna be removed from the land all that'll be left are those who are saved

54:55.740 --> 55:02.380
Jew or Gentile it doesn't matter the Bible tells us in Galatians chapter 3. You are all one in Christ Jesus

55:03.100 --> 55:10.540
We're all one in Christ Jesus and together we will rule and reign with Christ.

55:10.540 --> 55:12.940
And there will not be an unbelieving Israel anymore.

55:15.100 --> 55:28.100
There will not be a blasphemous state that hates the Lord Jesus Christ and is responsible for bloodshed and murder in the Middle East and expanding its borders and killing children and threatening to kill more children.

55:28.100 --> 55:32.100
Those days are going to be over. They may rule today. They may have that land today.

55:32.100 --> 55:38.100
But you know what? There's coming a day where the King, not just of Israel, the King of this world, will be Jesus.

55:38.100 --> 55:40.100
And praise God for that.

55:40.800 --> 55:44.640
Praise the Lord for that and then we'll have peace.

55:44.640 --> 55:46.160
Psalm 37, look at verse 29.

55:46.160 --> 55:47.160
I'm almost done.

55:47.160 --> 55:50.560
I'm just going to do a quick walk through here just to show you what I'm talking about.

55:50.560 --> 55:53.480
Psalm 37, look at verse 29.

55:53.480 --> 55:55.240
Psalm 37 and verse 29.

55:55.240 --> 55:58.280
We're doing a Bible study tonight, so hopefully you like the Bible.

55:58.280 --> 56:00.280
Look what it says in verse 29.

56:00.280 --> 56:05.560
The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein forever.

56:05.560 --> 56:07.960
So the wicked are removed.

56:08.100 --> 56:15.460
And who inherits the land? The righteous. Those who have the imputed righteousness of Christ on them.

56:16.020 --> 56:23.540
We get that land. You know what? The promise that was given to Abraham and his seed applies

56:23.540 --> 56:31.620
to Jesus. And if you are in Christ, then are you Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.

56:32.800 --> 56:38.000
And you know what? We get that land. That land is promised to Christ and those who believed in Him.

56:38.640 --> 56:50.080
Look at Psalm 69 in verse 35. Psalm 69 in verse 35. Israel, yes, it'll be inherited by believers, not Jews.

56:50.200 --> 56:52.360
You want to talk about Israel in the end times?

56:52.360 --> 56:55.800
Yeah, there's a heck of a lot of judgment, but there's also restoration.

56:55.800 --> 56:56.800
How?

56:56.800 --> 57:02.240
Because the wicked Jews are taken out and believers are put in.

57:02.240 --> 57:05.040
And Jesus rules and reigns from there.

57:05.040 --> 57:07.200
Psalm 69, look at verse 35.

57:07.200 --> 57:09.960
For God will save Zion.

57:09.960 --> 57:12.200
Didn't Romans 11 say all Israel shall be saved?

57:12.300 --> 57:14.780
That's taught all over in the Old Testament.

57:14.780 --> 57:20.880
For God will save Zion in verse 35 and will build the cities of Judah that they may dwell

57:20.880 --> 57:22.340
there and have it in possession.

57:22.700 --> 57:28.020
Now look, yes, I realize some of these scriptures could be in reference to the return from Babylonian

57:28.020 --> 57:29.020
captivity.

57:29.020 --> 57:35.300
I get that, but I think that the ultimate fulfillment occurs in the millennium.

57:35.300 --> 57:37.620
Notice Zion will be saved by God.

57:37.620 --> 57:39.940
It'll be rebuilt.

57:39.940 --> 57:41.940
It'll be cleansed.

57:41.940 --> 57:46.380
It'll be claimed by believers.

57:46.380 --> 57:47.140
36.

57:47.800 --> 57:52.800
Notice the seed also of his servants, his servants.

57:52.800 --> 58:00.500
Remember Isaiah 65, there was a clear distinction between those who were slain and God's servants, who are not.

58:00.500 --> 58:07.460
And here we see in Psalm 69 and verse 36 that the seed of God's servants, His servants,

58:07.460 --> 58:09.300
shall inherit it.

58:09.300 --> 58:15.060
Not Christ rejecting Jews, not those who hate Jesus, not the enemies of the gospel, but

58:15.060 --> 58:19.380
rather the servants of God will inherit it.

58:19.380 --> 58:21.380
They will dwell therein.

58:21.380 --> 58:24.260
It's not going to be Adam Sandler, folks.

58:25.400 --> 58:26.760
It's not going to be George Soros.

58:26.760 --> 58:28.160
It's not going to be Ben Shapiro.

58:28.160 --> 58:29.860
It's not going to be Benjamin Netanyahu.

58:29.860 --> 58:31.200
It's not going to be Ben Gavir.

58:31.200 --> 58:32.440
A lot of Ben's for some reason.

58:32.440 --> 58:35.720
Just really embarrassing me because my name is Ben.

58:35.720 --> 58:37.600
It's not going to be these guys.

58:37.600 --> 58:40.800
It'll be those who've accepted the gospel of Christ.

58:40.800 --> 58:41.640
Look at Joel 3.

58:41.640 --> 58:42.380
I'm almost done.

58:42.380 --> 58:44.600
Joel chapter 3.

58:44.600 --> 58:46.200
What happens to those guys, though?

58:46.200 --> 58:48.480
I mean, a lot of them are really old.

58:48.480 --> 58:50.000
But if they make it to

58:50.000 --> 58:50.100
you

58:50.400 --> 58:56.720
the end of the seven-year period before the Millennium, then Luke 19, 27, folks.

58:58.320 --> 59:03.760
They're slain. And then the believers inherit the land. Now, you're going to Joel 3. I'll quote to

59:03.760 --> 59:10.720
you from Jeremiah 23. In his days, Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely. Why?

59:10.720 --> 59:16.640
Unbelieving Jews taken out, Christians brought in. So Judah is just totally saved. Israel just

59:16.640 --> 59:17.360
totally saved.

59:17.800 --> 59:20.800
That's it. It'll consist only of believers.

59:20.800 --> 59:23.800
If you're Israel, you're safe. No more unbelieving Israel anymore.

59:23.800 --> 59:26.800
And there's never been a time throughout history where this has been the case.

59:26.800 --> 59:34.800
You look at Israel's history, it's always had believers and unbelievers under the same group.

59:35.400 --> 59:41.160
Now, Romans 11, it refers to those who believed as a remnant, but still, you had believing

59:41.160 --> 59:44.040
Israel, you had unbelieving Israel.

59:44.040 --> 59:47.600
Well, one day, unbelieving Israel will be no more.

59:47.600 --> 59:49.080
They will no longer exist.

59:49.080 --> 59:51.880
They will be taken out and wiped out by God.

59:51.880 --> 59:56.400
And so all you'll have left are every single person who's ever believed in Christ, Jew

59:56.400 --> 01:00:01.320
or Gentile, that makeup that comprise that believing Israel.

01:00:02.100 --> 01:00:06.580
The Bible says in Ezekiel 37, I heard you turn to Joel 3, but I'm just going to quote this.

01:00:06.580 --> 01:00:11.860
It says, neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their idols nor with their detestable things.

01:00:11.860 --> 01:00:15.620
It says, I will save them out of their dwelling places.

01:00:15.620 --> 01:00:22.100
There's coming a day when Israel will be great again, when Jesus is ruling over them.

01:00:22.100 --> 01:00:24.340
Not because Trump's going to be their president, all right?

01:00:25.600 --> 01:00:30.800
God has not cast away his people. He never broke his promise to those who believed the gospel

01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:35.640
But those who didn't hey, you know what that promise wasn't for them

01:00:36.240 --> 01:00:42.800
Joel 3 look at verse 17 Joel 3 verse 17. So shall you know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion?

01:00:43.520 --> 01:00:47.680
My holy mountain then shall Jerusalem be holy

01:00:48.900 --> 01:00:50.500
Because all Israel is going to be saved.

01:00:50.500 --> 01:00:53.220
There's going to be no unbelieving Israel anymore during the Millennium.

01:00:53.220 --> 01:00:54.260
It'll be holy.

01:00:54.260 --> 01:00:56.420
That's Israel's end in the end times.

01:00:56.420 --> 01:01:02.020
It'll be 100% sanctified, 100% holy, 100% clean,

01:01:02.020 --> 01:01:05.380
when the Lord Jesus Christ rules from there,

01:01:05.380 --> 01:01:10.180
when he dwells in Zion for the millennial reign.

01:01:10.180 --> 01:01:12.420
It'll consist only of believers.

01:01:12.420 --> 01:01:15.220
Now let's finish in Romans 11, Romans chapter 11.

01:01:16.600 --> 01:01:22.840
Zechariah 2 talks about how the Lord shall inherit Judah, his portion in the Holy Land.

01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:24.240
It also talks about how...

01:01:24.700 --> 01:01:29.640
Many nations shall be joined to the Lord like I said red yellow black white

01:01:29.640 --> 01:01:36.640
I don't care what your skin color is God doesn't either we don't care what your color is what your ethnicity is no matter

01:01:36.640 --> 01:01:40.140
Where you came from on this world your spiritual Israel today

01:01:40.140 --> 01:01:44.600
And there's coming a day when you will be part of a physical nation in the Millennium

01:01:45.200 --> 01:01:46.900
consisting only of believers

01:01:49.200 --> 01:01:54.740
Many nations will be joined to the Lord during this time. It'll belong to Christ. That's why

01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:57.740
Romans 11 will end here verse 25

01:01:59.120 --> 01:02:05.240
For I would not brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery lest you should be wise in your own conceits that

01:02:06.120 --> 01:02:08.460
blindness in part is happened to Israel

01:02:09.540 --> 01:02:14.880
until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in

01:02:15.600 --> 01:02:19.680
Remember how I said, hey, Jerusalem's going to be trotting down to the Gentiles?

01:02:19.680 --> 01:02:21.220
When does that end?

01:02:21.220 --> 01:02:23.160
When the millennium begins.

01:02:23.160 --> 01:02:26.460
Once that millennium begins, there is no more blindness.

01:02:26.460 --> 01:02:29.040
The iniquity is removed from the land.

01:02:29.040 --> 01:02:30.100
And so what happens?

01:02:30.100 --> 01:02:34.000
Verse 26, and so all Israel shall be saved.

01:02:34.600 --> 01:02:40.040
As it is written, there shall come out of Zion the deliverer and shall turn away on godliness from Jacob.

01:02:40.040 --> 01:02:48.040
For this is my covenant under them. Notice when I shall take away their sins. All Israel is just saved people.

01:02:49.240 --> 01:02:51.240
How? The New Testament.

01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:58.140
That's how that is the mechanism by which this occurs. The New Testament. Calvary.

01:02:58.600 --> 01:03:03.600
It's because of Calvary that one day Israel will only contain believers.

01:03:03.600 --> 01:03:07.400
It'll be because of Calvary that their sins are removed.

01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:12.400
It'll be through Calvary that regenerated saints inhabit that land

01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:17.000
that right now is completely taken over by wickedness.

01:03:17.600 --> 01:03:21.600
So many Old Testament passages point to this promise.

01:03:21.600 --> 01:03:26.600
And that's why I think this interpretation is backed by just so much scripture.

01:03:26.600 --> 01:03:32.600
But it happens only after God ravages Jerusalem through the Antichrist.

01:03:32.600 --> 01:03:39.600
It happens only after God uses cataclysmic events to judge Jerusalem and judge the Jews.

01:03:39.600 --> 01:03:43.600
What did I say in recap? Just to recap here.

01:03:44.500 --> 01:03:50.980
Said number one a temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem the Antichrist armies will invade Jerusalem

01:03:50.980 --> 01:03:58.980
I talked about how the Jews will accept the Antichrist. I talked about how Jerusalem is split into three parts through some kind of earthquake

01:03:58.980 --> 01:04:03.260
I talked about how the iniquity is removed from the land and then I said yeah

01:04:03.260 --> 01:04:08.760
Hey, you know what all Israel shall be saved but not in the way that

01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:11.600
Mike Huckabee thinks

01:04:11.800 --> 01:04:17.720
but rather because the iniquities removed and all that's left are believers, every believer who's

01:04:17.720 --> 01:04:25.000
ever existed throughout time. Think about it this way, following the 70 years of captivity,

01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:31.720
what happened? The Jews returned to the land and it'll be after Daniel's 70th week is complete

01:04:31.720 --> 01:04:38.520
that every believer, Jew or Gentile, every single believer will be inhabiting

01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:42.640
I don't think every single person is going to necessarily physically be in that land,

01:04:42.640 --> 01:04:45.080
but we will all be Israel.

01:04:45.080 --> 01:04:46.080
And you know what?

01:04:46.080 --> 01:04:47.840
That land will be righteous.

01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:53.840
That land will be holy because it will consist only of those who have accepted the gospel.

01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:57.600
You see, that's truly what's going on with Israel in the end times.

01:04:57.600 --> 01:04:59.840
There's a lot of bad news coming for them.

01:05:00.200 --> 01:05:03.000
God's not done with them because wrath is coming.

01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:05.800
God's not done with them because judgment is coming.

01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:10.200
God's not done with them because the Jews are going to get smoked by Jesus.

01:05:10.200 --> 01:05:11.800
But you know what?

01:05:11.800 --> 01:05:13.900
There are good days ahead as well,

01:05:13.900 --> 01:05:16.900
because it'll be the believers who take that land.

01:05:16.900 --> 01:05:19.400
It'll be those who are saved.

01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:23.900
who inhabit that land. It'll be those who are saved who are considered

01:05:23.900 --> 01:05:27.300
Israel only during the millennium. And so there's a

01:05:27.300 --> 01:05:30.840
a nice ending to this story. There's a nice ending here.

01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:34.880
Don't be confused by political commentary.

01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:38.240
Don't be confused by, hey, even

01:05:38.240 --> 01:05:42.480
Bible commentary through the, you know, the Schofield and

01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:43.560
and some of these

01:05:43.560 --> 01:05:43.700
you

01:05:43.900 --> 01:05:51.340
Commentaries that you see that pushes ism don't be confused by these things don't be confused by those who want to push a particular

01:05:52.420 --> 01:05:56.460
Ideology on you, but rather go to the scripture

01:05:56.980 --> 01:06:01.920
Understand what the Bible says let this be your commentary the New Testament

01:06:02.500 --> 01:06:08.500
Go directly to the Bible and shut everything else off, and only then will you know the truth

01:06:08.500 --> 01:06:16.900
about what happens to Israel in the end times. That's all I've got. Thank you for listening,

01:06:16.900 --> 01:06:21.380
and thank you for having me today as well. I do really appreciate it. Let's bow our heads

01:06:21.380 --> 01:06:25.700
for a word of prayer. Father in heaven, we thank you, Lord God, for the truth.

01:06:26.100 --> 01:06:29.400
the truths rather that you have inculcated in your word.

01:06:29.400 --> 01:06:33.400
And I pray Lord that you would just help us to recognize that.

01:06:33.400 --> 01:06:48.500
You know what? There is an imposter Israel today that you will judge that you already have been judging and help us to just show people this and help us to wake them up about this issue so that they know really what's actually going to happen with Israel in the end times.

01:06:48.500 --> 01:06:52.800
I pray Lord God that you would help to clear up the confusion on this very important subject.

01:06:53.300 --> 01:06:57.600
so that people can no longer be deceived by lies.

01:06:57.600 --> 01:06:59.600
Love you and in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
