Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, we come before you tonight.
We thank you for the opportunity that you've given to us
to be in church on this Wednesday evening.
Thank you for the health and the safety and the ability
to be able to be here and just assemble together

We just ask that you would fill us with your spirit, Lord,
as we come to you in praise and worship
that you would just help us to be edified
as we sing out these praises unto you.
And, Lord, that you would also just prepare hearts for the preaching, and that you would
just fill our paths through with your Holy Spirit, helping to preach with power, with
authority, and that you would just give in the words to speak, and that we'd be attentive
to receive the message tonight.
And that all that's said and done tonight would bring you the honor and the glory that

offering plates around as the plates go around.
Let's turn our Bibles this evening and we're going to read two chapters this evening.
We're going to read Psalm 83 and then we're going to read Hosea chapter one.
So starting with Psalm 83 and then Hosea chapter one.
Follow along silently with Brother Dan as he reads Psalm 83 followed by Hosea chapter one.
In Psalm 83 the Bible reads,
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people and consulted against thy hidden ones.
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel
may be no more in remembrance.
For they have consulted together with one consent.
They are confederate against thee.
The tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Agarenes, Ghebal and Ammon
and Amalek, the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre.
Asir also has joined with them.
Do unto them as unto the Midianites, as to Cicera, as to Jabin, at the brooks of Qeson,
which perished at Endor, they became as dung from the earth.
Make their nobles like Orib, and like Zeeb, yea, all their princes as Zeeba, and as Zalmuna.
who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God and possession.
O my God, make them like a wheel, as the stubble before the wind,
as the fire burneth of wood, and as the flames set at the mountains on fire.
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
Fill their faces with shame that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
Let them be confounded and troubled forever,
yea, let them be put to shame and perish.
That men may know that thou, whose name alone as Jehovah,
In Hosea chapter 1 the Bible reads the word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, the son of
BRI, in the days of Isaiah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days
of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel.
The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea, and the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take
unto thee a wife of Hortums and children of Hortums, for the land hath committed great
Hortum departing from the Lord.
So he went and took Gomor, the daughter of Diblam, which conceived and barren a son,
for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu,
and he will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
And it shall come to pass at that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel,
and she conceived again and bear a daughter, and God said unto him,
Call her name, Lord Rahama, for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel,
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God,
and will not save them by boat, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Now when she had weaned Lord Rahima, she conceived and beareth son.
Then said God, Call his name lo am I, for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered.
And it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said unto them, ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, ye are the sons of the living God.
Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Dear Lord, thank you for faithful Baptist Church, Lord, and thank you for everyone that's come to church tonight.
And Lord, I pray that you would fill the passenger seat with your Holy Spirit, Lord.
Help us to all hear the message.
Help us to all love you more and love one another more in Jesus' name, and pray amen.
Men, Psalm 83 is kind of a famous Psalm in the last several decades because of popular
Bible prophecy teachers abusing this Psalm, taking it out of context, and trying to apply
it to the modern apostate, Christ rejecting...
fraud that is the nation of Israel right and they get all excited about this and they act like
it's some prophecy about future end times events and God's going to go to bat for Israel and then
they kind of take all these names of these nations surrounding them.
And sort of just plug in like modern Arab countries and it makes for really good preaching to all the kind of Republican, Neocon, kind of warmonger, you know, pro-Israel Zionist types.
Okay, but the problem is it's totally unbiblical and it's total twisting of scripture and that's
what I'm going to show you tonight.
In fact, a much more rewarding way to read the book of Psalms for the child of God in
2025 is to apply these things to ourselves as Christians instead of just giving away all the
promises to a bunch of people who don't even believe in Jesus, who are of a false religion
to claim these things for ourselves as Christians for whom they are actually intended.
We're getting ripped off here by these dispensational preachers that want to take all these wonderful
things that God has for us and apply them to other people.
No, we need to be looking at the church and we need to be looking at ourselves as Christians,
God's people, because we are the nation.
We are God's people in the New Testament.
And I'm going to approve that to you from the Bible tonight.
But let's start out at the beginning of the Psalm here.
It says in verse number one,
Keep not thou silence, O God, hold not thy peace,
and be not still, O God.
And this is something that Christians
feel often when they're praying to God like they're not getting an answer.
And part of the reason is that God does not operate on the same timetable that we operate
because we want things right now but for God a day is like a thousand years and a thousand
years is like a day so we'll pray to God and He's already got it figured out and He's
already got a plan for how He's going to fix our problem but it just might be a year
from now, five years from now, ten years from now, He sees the big picture and this can
sometimes hard for us and so often we'll find ourselves crying out to God like
don't be silent God don't be still do something say something respond
And he says in verse 2,
for lo, thine enemies make a tumult,
and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
And this is always an effective way to pray
to always think about God's will be done, right?
Thy will be done.
The idea here is that if I just go to God
and just say, oh God, please destroy my enemies,
that's not as effective as saying,
hey, your enemies are the ones you should be going after.
Your enemies and there's often going to be overlap between those two things and so we hey
We did I don't care if God does anything to my enemies. I just want him to punish his enemies
Right the people that are fighting against the work of God the people that are fighting against God's church and God's man
And God's people and God's word. That's who we want God to fight against. It says low thine enemies
They make a tumult. What does tumult mean? It means they're making a lot of noise, right?
And God's enemies often do make a lot of noise. A lot of just loud and proud,
gaitiest and phagnostics out there just blowing off their mouths, opening their mouth and blasphemy
against God to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven.
And so God's enemies are making a tumult and those that hate thee, the Psalmist says,
And then it says in verse 3, they've taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted
against thy hidden ones.
And so we see here that the enemies of the Lord, the haters of God, they're always doing
all these shady, crafty things to attack us, to harm us, to lie about us, to slander us,
And he says that they've consulted against thy hidden ones.
They've taken counsel against thy people.
And of course in the New Testament, I'm going to prove this from the Bible.
God's people are Christians, period.
Not Jews, Christians, and not Hindus either, okay?
And you know what, it's just as absurd to say that the Jews are God's chosen people.
It'd be just as absurd to say Hindus are God's chosen people.
In fact, I bet Hindus are more God-stowsing people than the Jews, but they're both so close to zero, it just rounds down to zero.
But it says in verse 4, it says, they have said, come and let us cut them off from being a nation that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
And this is where all the Bible prophecy teachers get all excited because they're like, hey, that's what the Palestinians said!
Hey, that's what Iran said, you know, we want to remove Israel from the map, we want
Israel to stop being a nation, but here's the thing about that is that this is not about
modern apostate Christ-hating Israel, this is the Israel of back then.
And what you have to understand is that when you're reading the Old Testament, God's chosen
people back then was the nation of Israel, okay?
God's chosen people used to be the nation of Israel and the New Testament it's not and so what people will do to deceive you is they'll
Turn to an Old Testament passage and give you just all this tons of proof about
Israel being God's chosen people and of course, yeah
They were back then so of course you can show us verse after verse after verse from the Old Testament
About the Jews being God's chosen people, but what you can't show us is anything like that from the New Testament
and they fail to produce New Testament scriptures.
They have virtually nothing in the New Testament,
and that's what they always have in common
with their arguments is it's just a giant stack
of Old Testament verses that they are anachronistically
applying to today when they are talking about
a different time and a different situation.
The only thing that they will turn to
in the New Testament is Romans 11,
and they screw it up and get it wrong,
and I'm gonna prove that to you tonight as well.
But it says here, come and let us cut them off from being a nation that the name of Israel
may be no more in remembrance.
Notice that in verse 3 he said it was against thy people because at that time God's people
were the nation of Israel at that time.
But they're not anymore.
and let's go to Hosea chapter one.
Okay, so we're still gonna be in the Old Testament
for a moment here, but let's go to Hosea chapter one
because even in the Old Testament,
God is already foreshadowing the fact
that ultimately Israel and the Jews
are no longer gonna be his people anymore, okay?
And how do I know that I'm right about the way
that I'm interpreting Hosea chapter one
is because we're gonna go to Romans chapter nine
and see that Romans chapter nine
interprets Hosea one that way.
Because the right way to understand the Bible is to let the New Testament interpret the
Old Testament for us and be its own commentary.
And so, yeah, they used to be the nation, they used to be the people of God, okay?
And before we get there, you know, Pastor Bruce Mejia was,
you know, he's been putting out a lot of great content
about this and he puts out his Instagram videos
that are so suave and polished and wonderful
and they have such great content.
And so this CBN, which I don't know, I think they're like
pretending to be CBS and maybe like people will get confused
and think they're CBS, but there's some stupid lame
Broadcasting network or something CBN. They put out this video attacking
Pastor Mejia and they played his whole Instagram clip and then they are
supposedly like debunking him you know by going to Balaam where Balaam says oh
you know
Blessed is he that blesses you and curses he that curses you, and saying like, oh yeah,
see this proves that we're interpreting Genesis 12 correctly because it's really being put
to the test here in Numbers chapter 24.
But let me just stop and explain this to you, okay, is that at that time the children of
Israel were God's chosen people, they were right with God, they were worshiping God,
and that's why he says, yeah, whoever blesses you is going to be blessed.
and whoever curses you is going to be cursed.
Of course, they were inheriting the promises of Abraham at that time.
Okay, but in the New Testament it's crystal clear the Bible says that the promises were
made to Abraham and his seed singular which is Christ and if you're in Christ your Abraham
seed and heirs according to the promise.
Here's the thing in the New Testament that is no longer the case.
They are not his people and they no longer get those promises because here's why it's
so important Genesis 12 is about Abraham and his seed.
because the promise made to Abraham is an everlasting covenant.
It's an unconditional promise made to Abraham.
This is why the Zionists and the dispensationalists must hang their hat on Genesis 12.
Because you wonder, like, why are they not constantly turning to Numbers 24?
I'll tell you why they're not turning to Numbers 24 is because it's got to be that unconditional promise to Abraham.
that they want to claim for the Jews, okay?
But here's the problem is that the promise follows God's people.
And as soon as the Jews and Israel stop being God's people and they stop being in Jesus Christ,
well then, at that point, they don't get those promises anymore. They're done at that point.
So, of course, in the book of Numbers, what did the Bible say about the children of Israel wandering in the wilderness?
It says that they drank from the rock that followed them, the water from the rock, and that rock was Christ, right?
Jesus led them into the promised land.
He was the captain of the Lord's host.
So yeah, they were, obviously they didn't know the name of Jesus, they didn't know who the Messiah is,
but the Bible says that all the Old Testament prophets had the Spirit of Christ in them.
According to 1 Peter chapter 1, they were preaching by the Spirit of Christ
and the captain of the Lord's host that led them into the Promised Land was Jesus.
Jesus led them into the Promised Land.
So at that time, yeah, blessed are those that blessed them and cursed are those that curse them
But in the New Testament Galatians
316 is just as clear as John 316 and these CBN bozos are wrong and Pastor Mejia is right
Okay, that that promise was made to Abraham and his seed which is Christ and yeah, the nation of Israel is
Temporarily under that umbrella when they're serving God, but here's what's funny about that
is that Balaam, he really, and this is very relevant to the sermon.
Don't think I'm on a rabbit show because I'm not.
It's all going to come together, okay?
Because here's the thing, Balaam wanted to curse the Israelites for money
and he wasn't able to. God did not allow him to.
But here's the thing Israel ends up getting cursed right in the next chapter so chapter 22 chapter 23 chapter 24
What Balaam and Balaak could not do externally they do to themselves
in chapter 25, they bring the curse of God onto themselves.
Okay, so in Psalm 83, we have this statement,
come and let us cut them off from being a nation.
Here's the thing, no external enemy was able to cut off Israel from being a nation.
But they could do that to themselves.
They could destroy themselves.
And that's what we see in Hosea chapter 1,
because if you look at Hosea chapter 1,
It says in verse 4, and the Lord said unto him,
Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while,
and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel
upon the house of Jehu.
and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
So here's the thing, you have the enemies of God over in Psalm 83 saying,
hey, let's make them cease being a nation.
But then here you have God himself saying,
I'll cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
You see, here's the thing,
external enemies can't destroy God's people,
but God's people can self-destruct and then God will destroy them.
You know and God can't destroy me or excuse me God can't destroy me God the enemies can't destroy me the enemies can't destroy you
Right we can only destroy ourselves
Right our enemies can gnash on us with our with their teeth and they can hate us and fight us and persecute us
But we are more than conquerors because of God before us who can be against us
No one can stop us. No one can defeat us
But you know what we can stop ourselves and we can defeat ourselves and if we
Screw up! If we go into serious sin, if we rebel against the Lord, then God Himself will be the one that will take us out and destroy our lives.
Obviously, we'll still be saved, we have eternal life, but God can destroy our lives on this earth, can't He?
So who do we fear? We don't fear the enemies, we only fear God.
And who do we really have to watch out for? The person who's going to screw things up for us is ourselves.
right and no one else we can only be destroyed from within okay now look at
Hosea chapter 1 because this is going to be interpreted by the apostle Paul in
Romans chapter 9
But it says in verse 8,
Now when she had weaned low Ruhama,
She conceived and beareth son,
Then said God,
Call his name low Ami,
For ye are not my people,
And I will not be your God.
So look, is God just always the God of Israel?
And they're always his people,
And he's always their God?
Now, even in the Old Testament, he's already predicting and saying,
hey, this is what's going to happen.
You're not my people and I will not be your God.
Now, look at the next verse and you say, well, you're reading that wrong.
Well, let's see how Paul reads it in Romans 9.
It says in verse 10,
Now, if we're reading this in its Old Testament context,
back then, it's like God saying,
Okay, you guys have screwed up.
You're not my people, I'm not your God, but if and when you get right, then it will be
said unto you, you are my people, and I am your God and so forth.
But let's see what the apostle Paul does with this.
Go to Romans chapter nine, Romans chapter number nine.
But just let these words ring in your ears.
Verse 6 of Hosea 1, while you're turning to Romans 9, I'll read you more from Hosea 1.
She conceived again and bear a daughter, and God said unto him,
Call her name Lo-Ru-Hama, for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel,
but I will utterly take them away.
But I'll have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, on and on.
Then said God, verse 9, call his name Lo-Amai,
For ye are not my people, and I will not be your God."
Okay, now let's look at Romans chapter 9 and see how Paul quotes this.
Let's back up for a little context.
It says in verse 22,
What if God, willing to show his wrath
and to make his power known,
endured with much longsuffering,
the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction?
And then he might make known the riches of his glory
on the vessels of mercy,
which he had afford prepared unto mercy,
even us, whom he hath called,
not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.
Okay, watch this.
Here's the quote from Hosea.
As he saith also in OZ.
Now this is a New Testament spelling of Hosea, so it's saying, as he saith also in Hosea,
I will call them my people, which were not my people. Now look at verse 24, it said,
even us whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles. So the us is called,
saved Christians,
Who come of the Jews and of the Gentiles so this isn't about the Jews isn't about the Gentiles
It's about Christians who are of the Jews and of the Gentiles, right?
So you have a large pool of Jews some of them get saved and believe in Christ and now they're Christians some of the Gentiles
Believe in Christ and our Christians those saved Christians both of the Jews and of the Gentiles are from the Jews are from the Gentiles, right?
As he saith also in Ozi, I will call them my people.
So who are the people of God?
Christians of Jews and Gentiles.
That's the people of God.
He says, I will call them,
My people, which were not my people, and her beloved, which was not beloved, okay?
So it used to be that the nation of Israel were the people of God and the Gentiles were not.
But now he's saying to those that in time past were not his people, now you're the people of God. Gentiles.
And he says, I will call them my people, which were not my people, and her beloved, which was not beloved.
And it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said to them, ye are not my people, there shall they be called the children of the living God.
And so the apostle Paul, he's taking this Hosea 1 scripture and saying, no, this was prophetic.
This is a foreshadowing of the fact that the Gentiles are going to become the people of God.
Now, if anyone disagrees with this, you know what?
go put on a little funny hat
and go to the synagogue down the street
because that's where you belong.
Because it's so stupid when people today
want to just contradict the clear teachings
of the New Testament and call it Christianity.
You're not Christian, you're Jewish, okay?
If you're gonna just ignore what Galatians says
about Genesis and you're gonna ignore
what Romans says about Hosea and you're like,
hey, I think Paul's out of context,
then you know what, you're not a Christian.
You're a crypto Jew. You're a fake Jew pretending to be a Christian is what you are
Because the Bible here says that Hosea chapter 1 when he says to Israel
You are not my people and then he says to those that were not his people in the past now you are my people
Paul says that's prophesying about the Gentiles
Being the people of God either believe the book of Romans or you don't
And if you believe the book of Hosea is inspired by God, but you don't believe that the book
of Romans is inspired by God, that's crazy and you're not a Christian.
Because to be a Christian you've got to believe the New Testament is the Word of God.
And so it says here I will call them my people which were not my people verse 25 and her beloved which was not beloved
And it should come to pass that in the place where it was said to them you're not my people there
So they be called the children of the living God the context is verse 24
Both Jews and Gentiles who have gotten saved who have believed on Christ who are the elect who are in Christ
And then it says this, Ezaius, that's Isaiah, also cryeth concerning Israel, though the number
of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, now stop for a moment.
Do you remember this phrase from Hosea?
Paul's talking about Isaiah.
But notice this quote is also found in Hosea, and what it is is that Paul's got Hosea chapter 1 on the mind.
He's got the whole chapter on the mind.
And so he remembers this part in Hosea, cross references it over to something that Isaiah said.
And then he says, Isaiah also cryeth concerning Israel,
though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, watch this, a remnant shall be saved.
Are they all going to be saved?
No, they're not okay a remnant is going to be saved now
Of course in chapter 11 we have the statement all Israel shall be saved
It's a totally different statement in a totally different context and we'll talk about that in a moment
And that's easy to explain anyway, and I've done it a thousand times, but it says here
That a remnant is going to be saved so so the number of children of Israel is as a sound of the sea
But a remnant shall be saved meaning the minority is going to be saved
It's going to be just the remnant who believes on
Jesus right because how do I know that we'll keep your finger here and go to chapter 11 because chapters 9 10 11 have to
Be read together and it says in chapter 11
In verse number five, it says,
even so then, at this present time also,
there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
And if by grace, then is it no more of works.
Otherwise, grace is no more grace.
But if it be of works, then is it no more grace.
Otherwise, work is no more work.
We're talking about salvation being by grace and not by works.
And he says there's a remnant according to the election of grace.
It's not the election of race because you're racially Israeli or Jew or whatever that even means.
No, it's election by grace.
By grace through faith you are saved and that is what makes you God's chosen people,
being saved by faith in Jesus Christ.
And so we see that that's what the remnant is.
So he says, yeah, though the number of the children of Israel were back in 927,
For you will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth, and as
Isaiah said before, accept the Lord of Sabeoth had left us a seed.
We had been as Sedoma and been made like unto Gomorrah.
So what is he saying?
He's saying, look, the seed or the remnant,
the righteous seed that is saved by grace,
that is in Jesus Christ.
If it weren't for that remnant,
the Bible says that Israel would have been like unto
Sodom and Gomorrah.
Now, here's what's interesting is that that is what Israel's like.
It is a lot like Sodom and Gomorrah because they don't have the righteous remnant.
Why?
Because Christians don't live there.
Obviously, there's some tiny little handful of Christians there because they're just
confused and misguided and think they're going to get a bunch of Israelites saved or
something because they're just living in the Old Testament or something.
But there are very few Christians in Israel, okay?
And so, what is Israel like today?
It's a lot like Sodom and Gomorrah.
It is the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Middle East, right?
Tel Aviv is considered the number one queer destination in the world.
Like people vacation there from all over the world,
Sodomites from all over the world have ranked it number one
faggot destination for, you know, going on vacation or whatever.
Tel Aviv, Israel.
It is like Sodom, it is like Gomorrah, it is wicked, it is ungodly.
Why?
Because that's what it's like without Christ.
Without Jesus Christ, that's what Israel is like.
And also the idea here when he says, well, if the Lord of Saviath hadn't left a seed,
we'd been as Sedoma and been like him to Gomorrah.
Well, guess what's going to happen in the end times?
They are going to get totally wiped out in the end times.
Okay. Oh, God's got a future plan for Israel. God's not done with Israel.
God is going to completely wipe out Israel. Israel is going to be completely
annihilated and wiped out. Gone.
You think that that Christ-rejecting nation of Jewish Pollocks and Russians and Hungarians and Germans is going into the Millennial
Rant of Christ. Think again, because God specifically said, he said, look, the children of Israel,
unbelieving Israel, are Ishmael. They're Hagar. The Jews are Hagar. Christians are Isaac.
And you know what it says?
Cast out the bond woman and her son
for the son of the bond woman shall not inherit with the son of the free.
So when it comes to inheriting the kingdom of God, inheriting the earth,
it's not going to be the son of the bond woman and the son of the free inheriting it together.
This is what Christians are teaching now.
They're teaching it's going to be a joint kingdom where like Christians and Jews come
together.
You know, Christ rejecting Israel and Christianity, they unite.
They get back together.
We're getting the band back together.
Wrong.
It's not going to happen, my friend.
The children of the bond woman, Hagar, Ishmael, that is the Jews.
They're not going to inherit with the children of the free.
Now here's the thing.
They can't understand spiritual things
You know they can't understand spiritual things. All they understand is that which is carnal and they're fleshly puffed up mind
They can only understand carnal things. So here's the they go. Oh ishmael. That's the Arabs
The Arabs are ishmael. That's what they think
It's the stupidest thing in the world because that is the opposite of what the Bible says
And you say, well, I don't know, you're being a little hard on these people.
Well, you know what?
Why are they ignoring whole books of the New Testament?
If you're going to ignore the entire book of Galatians and just act like it doesn't
exist, then you know what?
You deserve to be called an idiot.
If you're going to get behind the pulpit and claim to be a Christian preacher and then
pretend that the book of Galatians just doesn't exist, okay?
Go to Galatians chapter 4, if you would.
Go to Galatians chapter 4 because the Bible doesn't say that Arabs are Ishmael.
The Bible says Jews are Ishmael and that Christians are Isaac, Christians are the real
true children of God, Israel, the Israel of God.
That's what the Bible says.
I mean, look what the Bible says in Galatians chapter 4.
It says, verse 21, tell me ye that desire to be under the law, ye bunch of Judaizers,
Tell me. Tell me, you bunch of flam-hacking Hebrew dropping Jew wannabe fake Jews.
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law. Do you not hear the law?
Did you even read the Torah that you claim that you love so much?
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bond woman and the other by a free woman.
Now, look, if you know the story, the bond woman is Hagar, her son's name is Ishmael.
The son of the free is Isaac, the son of Sarah, right?
But he who was of the bond woman was born after the flesh, that's Ishmael.
which things are an allegory for these are the two covenants,
the one from Mount Sinai, which gender it to bondage,
which is Hagar, for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia,
and answer it to Jerusalem.
Are you listening? So who's Hagar?
Who's Ishmael? Jerusalem!
Jerusalem, which now is and is in bondage with her children, why?
Because those in Jerusalem, the Jews, are in the bondage of sin because they are unsaved
and they will go to hell when they die because they're unregenerate, unsaved, rejecters of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's very clear.
I don't think this is complicated at all.
Hagar answers to modern-day Jerusalem.
That's what the Bible says, right?
And is in bondage with their children, but Jerusalem, which is above, is free, which is the mother of us all.
So, heavenly Jerusalem is God's capital city.
Earthly Jerusalem is Hagar bondage, and it represents Old Testament.
Rejoice thou barren that bearest not, break forth and cry, thou that travailest not, for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband."
Now we brethren, we, who's he talking to? Gentiles of Galatia, right? Galatia?
And by the way, these are basically like related to French people, okay? Believe it or not.
Because Gaul is France.
Okay? And Galatia is a colony in Asia Minor, modern-day Turkey, but at that time it was
colonized by a lot of different Europeans, including those from Gaul. And the Galatians
that are there. And they're also speaking Greek as a second language.
They probably have their own Galatian language.
We're not 100% sure about that.
They probably do have their own other Gaul, Indo-European Galatian language,
but they speak Greek also as a second language.
Everybody in that part of the world spoke Greek as a second language,
sort of like their English, you know, that everybody knew.
And it says, we, brethren, so Apostle Paul.
is a Jew who got saved and believed in Christ.
And then he's talking to these bunch of, you know, French people, we could say.
That also got saved and believed in Christ a bunch of white people a bunch of Europeans who got saved and he says we
Brethren as Isaac was or the children of promise. So, oh, well, you know the Jews are Isaac and though them Arabs are Ishmael
Is that what the Bible says? Did you get that from reading the New Testament? No, you got that from Fox News
You got that from Sean Hannity. You got that from Rush Limbaugh. You got that from
What's Ted Cruz?
You got that from Paul the White, you got that from Benny Hinn, you got that from Kenneth
Copeland, you got that from Joel Oste, I don't know where you got it, but you didn't get
it from the Bible, okay, because the Bible specifically says, and I defy anyone to explain
to me how you can read Galatians 4 and walk away saying the Jews are Isaac and the Arabs
are Ishmael.
Don't get it. You know what that is. That's a non biblical viewpoint. You know what here's what it is a fleshly viewpoint
Because you're like well ishmael beget this guy who begat this guy who begat this guy who begat these Arab nations
So physically
Those people are from the Arabs and physically the Jews are from Isaac physical doesn't matter
the flesh
prophetess nothing
Right? It is the spirit that quicken it. It's all about the spirit flesh doesn't matter and you know what?
This is what the dispies and the Zionists and the pro-Israel crowd say. They'll say well, you know these replacement theology guys
They tend to spiritualize things
They tend to allegorize
Yeah, yeah, we do. Yeah, we tend to spiritualize because we're just we're just spiritual like that
You tend to carnalize everything because you're carnal
Because you're obsessed with dirt and land and bloodlines and genealogies.
My Bible said to avoid genealogies.
My Bible said the flesh prophet is nothing.
My Bible said the things that are seen are temporal and the things that are not seen
are eternal.
And that all of this right here is all going to be burned up and doesn't even matter.
Well, you guys turned to allegorize things.
I don't know, verse 24.
What's that word there?
What's that word in verse 24 at the beginning? Which things are a what?
Which things are an allegory?
So who's allegorizing now the apostle Paul's allegorizing and he's saying
Jews are Ishmael
Okay, Jew, you know here's another way of saying that Jews are the bastard son of Abraham
Not a not a legitimate son the bastard
So Israel is the nation of bastards. It's not Iceland anymore. It's now Israel. Okay?
Israel is the bastard nation. They are Ishmael. That's what the Bible says. Okay?
So it says
that we brother and as Isaac was or the children were the legitimate son of God and
They are the bastard that gets cast out and doesn't inherit
And it says in verse 29 but as then
He that was born after the flesh persecuted him
that was born after the spirit, even so it is now."
So there's a story in Genesis where Ishmael,
the person, makes fun of Isaac.
And so because Ishmael is making fun of Isaac,
Sarah says, get this kid out of here.
Kick him out, cast out the bond woman and her son,
for the son of the bond woman is not gonna inherit
with my son.
And, of course, God says, yep, she's right, kick them out, get rid of Hagar, get rid of Ishmael, they're out.
So just as Ishmael is mocking Isaac, and what is the word that the Bible uses?
It says, persecuted him.
The Bible says that Ishmael persecuted Isaac.
Guess what, mockery and making fun of is a form of persecution.
And you know what the Jews do constantly, they constantly persecute Christians by attacking
them, lying about them, slandering them and making fun of them because the Jews run Hollywood
which is all about making fun of Christians on TV shows and comedy shows,
constantly mocking the things of God, mocking the people of God, mocking Christianity.
That is a form of persecution, but also when we read the book of Acts,
we find that the Jews actually physically persecuted the Christians. In fact,
read the entire Acts of the Apostles chapter 1 to chapter 28.
I want you to show me where the Romans are persecuting the Christians a single time.
Because that's what we always think about, right?
We always think about, oh yeah, the Romans are persecuting Christians and throwing them
to lions and everything.
Okay, but can you show me that in the book of Acts?
Can you show me that in the Bible?
Because what we see in the Bible consistently is we see Jews persecuting Christians in the
book of Acts from start to finish.
The persecutors are 100% the Jews.
And then here's the thing, the Romans are usually stepping in and actually protecting
who want to hurt them and they're saving them and they're getting Paul out of there and so forth.
Now here's the thing, if the Romans do end up putting anybody in prison,
putting anybody in jail, in the book of Acts, it is simply because the Jews are talking them into it.
And so it'll be like, okay, well, this ruler wants to do a favor to the Jews, so he, you know, leaves Paul in prison to make the Jews happy.
So look, of course we know that historically, yes, later on there were serious Roman persecutions of Christians.
Okay, I agree.
And here's what we need to understand, just because the Jews are bad and just because
the Jews are persecuted Christians, we don't want to make the mistake of just thinking
every bad thing in the world goes back to the Jews.
You know, because some people, they get a little too excited about this doctrine and
then they take it too far and then they just think all the evil in the world is the Jews
and then if we didn't have Jews, it would just all be sunshine, rainbows and unicorns.
That is false.
And it's always silly when people obsess or fixate on one group, like just everything's
the Jews.
Well, you know, what about the Roman Catholics because they're evil too.
They've persecuted God's people too. They've done a bunch of wicked perverted evil things too, right?
What about Islam?
Islam is super evil and wicked too. And what you have to understand is that Satan and his kingdom, you know what they are?
They are a beast with seven heads and ten horns.
So the problem is that you think sometimes that the enemy just has one head, but the Bible describes a seven-headed enemy.
There's a Jew head, there's a Roman Catholic head, there is a Mormon head, there's a Hindu
head, there's a Buddhist, it's all, you know, it's seven heads.
You name the seven, at least get mad at seven things instead of one.
At least make a list of seven, please.
We do not hate Jews. I don't hate Hindus. I don't hate Buddhists. I don't hate Muslims
I don't want Muslims to die. I don't want Jews to die. I don't want Hindus to die
I want everybody to be saved
So I would love to see Jews receive Christ as Savior
I would love to see Hindus get say I would love to see Mormons get saved
I would love to see these people get saved and you know what? I do not think that they are always
necessarily worse than other unbelievers
Now, some of them are, but you know what, some people of other religions are also super
evil and wicked.
We have all kinds of reprobates in this world, so we don't want to get this overboard over
the top view.
The reason that I'm up here preaching so hard and being so vehement about this is because
hundred-plus years, and our churches have been brainwashed,
I'm just trying to shake people and wake them up and grab these pastors and
shake them and wake them up and say, look,
you need to stop preaching lies
and preach the Bible, preach what Galatians says,
preach what Romans says, and quit twisting Old Testament scripture to preach
lies that have been fed to you by the Zionist machine.
Now, obviously, yeah, when it comes to enemies of Christ, enemies of the Gospel, enemies of
God's people, the Jews are the big one in the Bible, and in real life, they're the
big one.
Okay?
But they're not the only one.
All these false religions are bad, and Jews can still be saved just like Muslims can
be saved or anybody else.
So when we run into Jews, we are nice to them and give them the Gospel and try to get them
saved.
This is our house, this is our turf and we're going to get up and cry aloud and preach the
wickedness of Israel that it is a modern day Sodom and that Jews are ish males and they
are bastards and not sons.
That's what the Bible literally word for word says.
Let's keep going it says but as then he that was born after the flesh
Persecuted him that was born after the spirit even so it is now
Nevertheless what say at the scripture cast out the bond woman and her son for the son of the bond woman shall not be air with the son
Of the free woman here's another way of saying it Jews are not gonna inherit with Christians
Right the millennial rays not gonna be Jews plus Christians
It's gonna be just Christians and the Jews are getting smoked all of them
Every last Christ rejecting Jew or Israelite is going to be gone at the end of the world.
That's what's going to happen.
The Bible's real clear on that, okay?
And you want to talk about the Holocaust?
The Holocaust is coming in the future when God pours out His wrath on this earth
and He literally destroys them all.
to the last person, okay?
But, here's the thing, you say,
well, what about in the end times all the Israelites shall be saved?
Yeah, because there's going to be this thing
called the resurrection of the dead.
And the Bible says that in the regeneration
the 12 apostles are going to sit on 12 thrones
judging the 12 tribes of Israel.
That's the Israelites being resurrected,
the saved ones, the saved Israelites from the Old Testament
are going to be resurrected and going to the millennium
because before Christ returns,
what's going to happen?
The dead and Christ shall rise first.
And then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds.
Let's not forget that every saved person who's ever lived is going to be resurrected before the millennium.
Because we believe in the pre-millennial return of Christ, the pre-millennial resurrection of the dead, all the saved.
Old Testament and New Testament, they're all going to be resurrected.
And that's how all Israel is going to be saved because the only people that are going to be in Israel during the millennium are going to be saved people.
And all Israel will be saved.
But people don't get a pass because of their ethnicity.
There's none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved and that goes for Jew, Gentile.
There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek.
We must believe to be saved.
So then, brethren, verse 31, we're not children of the bond woman, but of the free.
So that was a rabbit trail. Let's get back to Psalm 83.
So it's not just these enemies that are saying, hey, let's cut them off from being a nation.
Hey, even God said He's going to do that to them in Hosea chapter 1.
You know, and the Bible is clear in 1 Peter 2, 9 and 10 that we are the chosen generation.
We're the holy nation.
We're the peculiar people.
We are now the people of God, which in time past were not a people, but now are the people
of God, which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Right?
That's what the Bible says.
And so back to Psalm 83, it says, they have said, verse 4, come and let us cut them off
for they have consulted together with one consent, they are confederate against thee."
Notice who these nations are confederate against.
They're not just confederate against a physical nation, they're confederate against God.
Does everybody see that?
Because we're talking to God in this Psalm, verse one, right?
Keep not silence, oh God, and then he says they're confederate against the God at the
the Tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites.
And we know who that is, the Ishmaelites
are the modern day Jews, the modern day nation of Israel.
If you want to plug something in here for prophecy
of Moab and the Hagarines,
you know those sound a little bit like Jews too
because it's got Hagar in it.
Gebaal and Ammon in Amalek the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre
Acer also has joined with them. They have Hopon the children of Lot, Sila.
Do unto them as unto the Midianites as to Cicera as to Jabin at the brook of Kaison
which perished at Endor. They became as Dung.
So this is an imprecatory psalm where Asaph is praying that the Lord's enemies would be destroyed
and that they would be used as fertilizer to fertilize the earth.
That's what it means when it says that they would come as dung for the earth,
because here's the thing, why do you put dung on the earth?
You spread dung around on the earth to make it more fertile.
You're putting nutrients back into the soil, right?
But here's the thing, burying corpses does the same thing.
Right because by burying corpses you're also putting all kinds of nutrition back into the soil because you know
Obviously the soil gets depleted over time and then you know, there's a lot of nitrogen in the air
But unfortunately, it's all locked up in that triple bond of that N2 and so therefore
You know, it can't really be accessed by the plants
so you know you got to put nitrogen back into the soil and
So one of the ways that you do that is is by putting and not just nitrogen but other
Nutrients potassium and so forth you put that in with dung. Okay, and by the way, this is why veganism is not gonna save the planet
Okay, and it's always absurd when people say like,
oh man, we could feed the whole planet
if everybody would just be vegan,
because you know, this many acres of grain
is how much it takes to feed the cow,
and this is how much cow it takes to feed the human,
and blah, blah, blah, and they do this math
to show you how it's a lot more efficient
if everyone just ate plants.
But here's the problem with that,
is that there's a symbiotic relationship
between plants and animals.
Okay? So here's the thing. If you have a farm and you grow plants on it, well, what happens is you're depleting the soil every single year.
So you have to put nutrition back into the soil. How do you do that? Dung.
Okay? So what happens is you have animals on the farm too, right?
That's why old McDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. On the farm he had some cows.
E-I-E-I-O. Why? Because he needs the cows to basically take a dump on the soil to make
it fertile again so that he doesn't use up the soil too fast. That's why on his farm
he had a pig. E-I-E-I-O.
an oink oink here and you know why because he needs the dung from those animals so the right way to do agriculture is
and I'm not claiming to be some agricultural expert but this isn't really that complicated is it
that basically you know you grow things for a while then you rest that area
and you let it go fallow, and you let everything grow wild,
then you go put the animals there to graze there,
and then the animals, they eat there, they defecate there,
they fertilize it, and then it helps the soil last a lot longer.
You have the cycle of animals and plants.
Now, there's an alternative to this.
There's an alternative to this, right?
We don't need dung.
We don't need no stinking dung.
What do we need?
The alternative is...
Modern chemical fertilizers.
Okay, well, here's the problem with modern chemical fertilizers.
Where does the fertilizer come from?
Okay, it doesn't just magically appear.
There aren't just fertilizer trees where just bags of fertilizer are growing on trees.
No, the things that go into the fertilizer must be mined.
And environmentalists hate mining.
So, environmentalists hate mining, but they also hate cattle herds, so, folks, this isn't
going to work.
You got to fertilize it.
You either got to use dung or you got to mine.
And I don't know about you.
What would you rather eat?
What do you think is a higher quality product?
Dung, as fertilizer, or would you rather have chemical, synthetic fertilizers being used
to grow your food?
I mean, I would trust the old-fashioned way with the dung, amen?
And so this is why veganism doesn't work because if you just say oh the cows
they're too flatulent and it's putting a hole in the ozone and you know they're
destroying the environment there's too much carbon in the atmosphere I know
they're not putting a hole in the ozone I was a joke but you know they're putting
too much carbon out there with their flatulence you know so hey let's go fly
our private jet to a meeting where we can talk about cows flatulating but but
here's the thing about that
is that those cows are performing a vital role of putting the phosphorus and the nitrogen back
into the soil, right? Well, dead bodies can do the same thing. Okay. And so God has designed this
thing to be a cycle where, you know, the soil can be preserved and maintained and we can live
on the earth for a long time. And so it says that God is going to take his enemies
And he's going to make them like dung for the earth.
He's going to use them as fertilizer, basically.
Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeb.
Ye'al their princes as Zeba and as Zalmanah, verse 12,
who said, let us take to ourselves
the houses of God in possession.
See, a better way of reading this,
instead of applying this chapter to the nation of Israel,
why don't we apply it to Christians and churches?
Right, the enemies of God, what are they doing?
They're conniving and scheming against churches.
God's people are under attack. Christians are under attack. What do they want to do?
They want to take to themselves the houses of God in possession. And today the enemies of the Lord, the haters of God are taking over
churches and
poisting the rainbow flag outside the church, right? They're taking over the houses of God, as the Bible says here in Psalm 83.
Oh my God, make them like a wheel.
And as the stubble before the wind, as the fire burneth a wood, and as the flames set at the mountains on fire,
so persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm."
So he's saying, man, God, come after these people. Destroy these people.
Help that, make them like a wheel, just kind of just rolling on out of here.
Just let them be gone, let them blow away like the chaff.
Let them be as the fire burneth a wood.
Let them just be like trees and then a forest fire comes through and just takes them all out.
This is what Asaph is praying here.
So, persecute them with thy tempest and make them afraid with thy storm.
Fill their faces with shame that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
And what's the opposite of shame?
Pride, right?
And they're proud of their wickedness.
They're proud of their sense.
God's saying, no, fill them with shame that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
Let them be confounded and troubled forever.
Yea, let them be put to shame and perish.
He's given two options here.
He's saying, look, let the wicked be put to shame so that they can either A, fear the
Lord, or B, that they can just perish.
He said, God, let these people either get saved or perish, these enemies of the Lord,
these haters of God, these people that are persecuting, your people, hey, if it's possible
for them to get saved, great, let them get saved.
But otherwise, just let them be destroyed.
Protect your people, save your people, protect the churches, and wipe out the enemy.
That's what Asaph is praying here.
That thou whose name alone is Jehovah are at the most high over all the earth.
And the great thing about the wicked being punished or God chastising or destroying or punishing wicked people
is that it lets people know, hey, there is a God.
Right?
So that people will know that thou whose name alone is Jehovah are at the most high over all the earth.
Like, they'll know you're the real God and that these people never stood a chance because they blasphemed against you.
Now, this is another verse that is often twisted and misused by false teachers, especially
the so-called Jehovah's Witnesses.
And I'm surprised that the Jehovah's Witnesses are even still around.
Because they're so easily debunked and this thing called the internet just makes it super easy
For everybody to see all the holes and in their beliefs
Most of them do seem to be old people and so hopefully
They will eventually just pass off the scene along with other old false religions and cults that have come and gone
The nice thing is that they barely go door to door anymore
Because now they just set up their little tower and they just go
And they're not, I never see them talking to anyone.
I kid you, yeah, they talk to each other.
I kid you not, I've seen hundreds of times.
Like, there was a time when, because of my daily routine,
I was seeing them on a virtually a daily basis.
I'd walk by them every day almost, and they just,
and then every once in a while,
you get the little, what do you call it,
the calf raise it, you know, the calf raise, well.
So I don't know how many reps they get in in a single day of the calf raises, but their calves are probably huge
You know, but the thing is that they stand out there, and they're not talking to anybody
And I was talking to this young man. There was a friend of mine, and I said I said to him
I said, you know those are Jehovah's Witnesses
Because he didn't realize that he was an evangelical. He's a saved young man
He's evangelical Christian. I said those are Jehovah's Witnesses and he said oh man. He's like are you serious?
He's like I thought they were just regular Christians and he said I always felt guilty how
They're never talking to anyone and they look so sad and pathetic and I felt bad for them
I always felt like I should be over there talking to them encouraging them
But he's like now that I know they're Jehovah's Witnesses, not to him
But anyway, this is their favorite verse you'll literally be talking to them about something totally different
You're talking about salvation. You're talking about grace. You're talking about the resurrection of Jesus and they're just like
Turn to Psalm 83
You know, it's like the only verse that they know and then they they act like they're like that
The the meme with like the black guy in the suit like you know, they just they're just like oh man
I they're about to just get you good
They're about to just destroy your whole career soul winner with this one verse song 83 70
They're so smug. They're just like turn to song 83 like as if every single one of us haven't heard this like 50 times
They act like they're about to just blow your mind with Psalm 83-18.
It says that men may know that thou whose name alone is Jehovah and the way that they
are reading this is, they're reading this as, well God's name is only Jehovah and he
has no other name.
Of course, this is absurd because this contradicts the rest of the Bible.
In Exodus chapter 6, God says in the burning bush, he says, I appeared to Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob by the name of God Almighty, El Shaddai.
But he says, But by my name of Jehovah was I not known unto them.
So he literally says, I was not known to them by my name of Jehovah.
I was only known to them by the name El Shaddai, God Almighty.
So therefore, how can his only name be Jehovah?
Here's another name that he goes by Jesus, the Lord, God, God Almighty, the Almighty God,
the Lord of hosts, the Lord of Sabbath, lots of names.
But here's what I like to do.
I like to just go over to the end of the book of Psalms,
over, and if you would, keep your finger there in Psalm 83,
but come over here to Psalm 100 and, what is it, 47.
You know, I haven't run into the Jehovah's Witnesses in a
while, so I'm a little rusty.
Psalm 148, there we go.
See, it's been a while since I've had to deal with them.
So I take them to Psalm 148, verse 13.
And I show him this verse, I say,
let them praise the name of the Lord
for his name alone is excellent.
So I say, well, I'm an excellent witness.
I'm an excellence witness.
And God's, because God's name alone is excellent.
He has no other name.
His name alone is excellent.
Now, isn't that the same logic
that they're using with his name alone is Jehovah?
Now what this actually means when it says his name alone is excellent. It's saying no one else's name is excellent
And you know what it's saying in Psalm 83? No one else's name is Jehovah
Okay, so no one else's name is excellent. No one else's name Jehovah
Okay, just him
It's not saying that that's his only name
Right, and it's not saying that his name is only excellent. His name is not anything else. It's just excellent. No, no, no
It's saying that he's the only one with that name. Now her thing is Jesus the only one named Jesus
No, because there's a there's a kid, you know in the neighborhood right over here across 48th Street
I guarantee it name Jesus
I don't know a kid named Jesus over there, but it's a Hispanic neighborhood. There's probably 20
Jesus is over there
Right, so you got all you know, and there's boys over there with Maria as their middle name
Hey sus Maria
Valdez Hernandez or something, you know, so the point is that you know, yeah, there are other people named me
But you know, I've never known anyone named Jehovah
No, right his name alone is Jehovah
Now obviously some weirdo somewhere. I'm sure he's just gonna name their kid Jehovah just to be a weirdo
But it'd be super weird
It's not going to catch on and and here's the thing about that too is that if you think about the meaning of the word
Jehovah right because we kind of understand where this word came from based on what God tells
Most of the burning but you know, I'll explain this and I'll be done, but he says I am that I am
Right and he says tell them that I am
has sent me unto you, right?
And so when God says that his name is I am,
and when he says I am that I am, what does that mean?
Well, when it says I am that I am,
it's basically saying I am that which I am, okay?
And then,
If you look at the word Jehovah, it's basically the third person of that because first person is I am right third person
Is he is so Jehovah pretty much means he is
Right, that's the root meaning of that term
And so, one way that you could look at this as just, he is the self-existent one.
He just is.
He is and he was and he is to come and he just is what he is.
He just is God and he just has always existed and always will exist.
He is that he is and he was and he is and he is to come.
So he is the self-existent one.
No, because all things were made by him.
And so the only entity, the only person that basically, you know, exists of his own accord
and has always existed, right?
Could any human ever say that?
Any angel?
No, because everything, every person is a created being except the Lord.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are eternal, and they make up the self-existent
one, Jehovah, God, the Lord.
He's always been, he always will be, he's the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending.
And so that's why his name alone is Jehovah, because even if some bozo named their kid
Jehovah wouldn't make him this self-existent, transcendent, eternal God.
Only God has immortality.
The Bible says in...
1st Timothy 6, who only had the immortality, right?
He alone is named Jehovah.
Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer.
Father, we thank you so much for your word.
And Lord, we thank you so much for the fact that we can use the New Testament to shed
light on the Old Testament, Lord.
Help us not to be deceived by all of the peddlers of Zionism and...
doofus prophecy theories about Israel, the modern state of Israel and claiming that Christ
rejecting Jews are somehow your people or saved or children of God or whatever the claims
that are made, Lord. Help us to study to show ourselves approved. And Lord God, I pray that
the pastors of America would repent and that they would not be offended or angry or upset
and get their faces in this book and read Galatians
and stop teaching lies to their congregation.
Lord, open the eyes of the preachers of America
on this subject and on any other subject
with which they're blinded.
In Jesus' name we pray amen.
Amen, the right ladies and gentlemen,
take your hymns, please.
Go to hymn number 315, hymn number 315.
Take my life and let it be. Hymn number 315. 315. Take my life and let it be.
