Tonight I'm going to be continuing my sermon from this morning called The Jews and Their
Lies.
Where I get that title is 1 John chapter 2, which we read this morning.
1 John 2, 22 said, who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ,
he is anti-Christ that denieth the Father and the Son.
So when the Bible says who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ,
what he's saying is that's the biggest liar that there is, is one who would tell you that
Jesus is not the Messiah, because Christ means Messiah.
And someone who will tell you such a lie and be such a brazen liar as Judaism teaches
this myth that there's some other Messiah coming and that Jesus Christ was not the
Messiah.
You know, I preached about it last Sunday night, how ridiculous that is in light of
Old Testament scripture.
Would it surprise you that they tell us many other lies as well?
And so that's why I'm preaching on the Jews and their lies.
Now just to give you the review from this morning, I'm not going to re-go over the
points, but lie number one was that they believe the Torah or the Old Testament.
Not true.
Number two, they say that the Talmud is the word of God.
That's a lie.
Number three, they teach that God is both male and female.
That's a lie.
That's New Age mysticism of the Kabbalah.
Number four, they teach that the Jews did not kill Jesus, which is a lie.
And then number five, they teach that Christianity is responsible for the Nazi Holocaust.
And they try to use that to silence people from just telling the truth about their religion
by declaring that you're hateful, you're of the Nazis, and you know, all this ridiculous
thing.
Obviously, we would never approve of the Nazis or the Communists for that matter.
Obviously there have been all kinds of genocides throughout the 20th century and we approve
of none of them and we don't believe in violence.
But tonight I want to get into the sixth lie which is that the land of Palestine belongs
to them.
You know, this is the lie of the Jews today.
Go if you would to Hebrews chapter 3 and let's examine their claim from Scripture.
They say that the land of Palestine belongs to them and it's a lie.
Now Christians will also repeat this and in fact you almost hear this more from Christians
than Jews.
Christians will tell you, hey, God promised them that land.
That land belongs to them.
They have a right to that land according to Scripture.
Well that is a lie because the Bible is very clear that that promise of that land
unto the Jews was always conditional upon their faith and obedience to God, always.
Now look at Hebrews chapter 3.
This is talking about that original generation that left Egypt with Moses after they'd been
in bondage for 400 years.
Look down at verse 17, it says, but with whom was he grieved 40 years?
Was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
And to whom swear he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that
believed not?
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
So that first generation of Israelites that came out of Egypt with Moses was not allowed
to enter the promised land.
That's their land.
No, they weren't allowed to enter into it because of the fact that they did not
believe.
That's what the Bible says.
Now after 40 years and after all of their carcasses fell in the wilderness, every person
who was above 20 years of age died and did not go into the promised land, all
the men of war that is.
When Moses himself died before going into the promised land, then there arose the next
generation of their children who did believe the Lord and they went with Joshua into
the promised land and they inherited that promised land.
But what happened?
Over the years they turned away from the Lord, they sought after other gods, and as
a punishment they were removed from that promised land.
Just as God promised what happened, go back to Deuteronomy chapter 30.
God told them that if they turned after other gods and did not obey his commandments that
they would be removed from the promised land and that happened to the children of
Judah when Nebuchadnezzar came and invaded and took them captive.
Well after 70 years of captivity in Babylon, after they had turned back to the Lord in
their hearts, God brought them back into the promised land because they had a change
of heart.
God brought them back to the temple that was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, rebuilding
the wall around Jerusalem, and being in that promised land once again.
Then when Jesus Christ came, he came unto his own and his own received him not.
And because the Jews rejected Jesus Christ, he prophesied that as a result of them rejecting
him that their temple and their city would be destroyed.
He gave a parable about it and he talked about how their city would be burned and how
the temple would be destroyed and it all was fulfilled in AD 70.
In the year AD 70 the Romans came in, destroyed the temple, and as Jesus Christ prophesied
there was not one stone left upon another.
And as Jesus said, their house was left unto them desolate.
And their city was destroyed.
And the temple was destroyed and they were scattered into all nations.
And that's going to become important later in the sermon.
But look down at your Bible in Deuteronomy 30 verse 1.
It says, and it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the
blessing and the curse which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to
mind among all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, and shalt
return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command
thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart and with all thy soul,
that the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity and have compassion upon thee, and will return
and gather thee from all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.
If any of thine be driven out unto the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will
the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee.
And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and
thou shalt possess it, and he will do thee good and multiply thee above thy fathers.
So here, God's telling them in the Mosaic law that if they turn back to God after they're
scattered, after they're in captivity, he'll bring them back.
That's what he did in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah.
So let's just go back and go through the history quickly.
First of all, children of Israel don't believe the Lord, they can't go in the Promised Land.
Then they believe the Lord, they're allowed to go in the Promised Land.
They turn away from the Lord, they're removed from the Promised Land into Babylon.
They turn back to the Lord, they're put back into the Promised Land.
They turn away from Jesus Christ, and they're removed from the Promised Land.
And then in 1948, they all believed on Jesus Christ, and that's why they're back in the
Promised Land today, because they have turned unto the Lord with all their heart.
You know that isn't true.
So how can people say, oh God brought them back to the Promised Land?
The Christians will teach today that they are in the Promised Land as a fulfillment
of Bible prophecy when God said he would bring them from all nations.
Now here's what boggles my mind.
People fail to rightly divide the Word.
The Bible says, study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.
Here's a good way to divide the Word, Old Testament and New Testament.
That's a great way to divide the Word.
But not only that, you will have people today that will quote things from Jeremiah
and Ezekiel about them coming back from all the nations where they'd been scattered,
and they'll say that's what happened in 1948.
Otherwise where's the fulfillment of this prophecy?
Here's what people don't understand.
They don't realize that when Jeremiah is speaking in the book of Jeremiah, they were
just about to go into captivity with Nebuchadnezzar.
They hadn't even done that yet.
And when Ezekiel is speaking, they had just gone into that captivity.
So both Jeremiah and Ezekiel are speaking at the beginning of that Babylonian captivity,
or shortly before that Babylonian captivity.
And of course, there are all kinds of prophecies saying, I'm going to bring you back from
the nations where you've been scattered.
That's what he did 70 years later.
Those prophecies have already been fulfilled over 2,500 years ago.
Those prophecies were fulfilled long before the time of Christ.
Some people say, oh yeah, this is of today.
This is being fulfilled right now in the 20th century with the rebirth of the nation of
Israel.
It's a fulfillment of God's prophecy to bring them back from all nations.
No, that was a prophecy of Nebuchadnezzar's captivity, and them coming back from that.
So again, failure to rightly divide, like things that happened thousands of years ago,
and things that are happening today.
Big difference.
Why can't they show us New Testament scriptures of the children of Israel coming back from
all nations?
Because it's not of the New Testament, that's why.
Now they'll say, oh what about the 144,000?
Oh, we'll go there.
I just keep holding that whiteboard out there, you're wondering what's on that whiteboard,
but we're going to go there and you'll see about that.
Go to 2 Chronicles chapter 6, and honestly we could go all over the Old Testament to
see this, we're just going to hit a few key points for sake of time.
We could go all over the Old Testament to show you that the promises of children of
Israel to be brought back to the land are all conditional upon their faith and obedience
to God.
But look at 2 Chronicles chapter 6 verse 36.
It says, talking about the people of Israel, if they sin against thee, for there is no
man which sinneth not, and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before
their enemies, and they carried them away captives unto a land far off or near, yet
if they but think themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn
and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, we have sinned, we have
done amiss, and have dealt wickedly, if they return to thee with all their heart
and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried
them captives, and pray toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, and
toward the city which thou has chosen, and toward the house which I have built for
thy name, then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer
and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have
sinned against thee.
Go back to Genesis 13.
We see right there again that when they're scattered into all nations, there has to
be some repentance.
They have to realize that they have done wrong.
They can't just say, well, we're just going to continue in the same thing that God has
just kicked out of the land, but God's just going to bring us back anyway.
Why would God...
It'd be like if I kicked out one of my children out of my house.
Let's say I have an adult child, and my adult child is living in fornication.
God forbid.
And by the way, if I ever had an adult child that was committing fornication, they'd
be thrown out of my house.
God forbid that that would ever take place.
But let's say I threw them out, and let's say they just continue living in fornication,
and I bring them back.
Would that make any sense?
I threw you out because you're living in fornication, but I'm just going to bring
you back, even though you're still living in fornication.
Now what you'd say is, oh, he must have realized that he made a mistake when he
kicked that child out.
He's changed his mind.
Here's the thing.
God doesn't make mistakes like that.
When God kicks you out, he means it.
And God kicked them out, if you study the book of Matthew, it's because they rejected
Jesus Christ that their city was burned and that their temple was destroyed and that
they were scattered into all nations.
If that hasn't changed, then why would God have brought them back?
And if God's not the one that brought them back, then someone else brought them
back.
Because it's amazing.
I mean, people say, but wait a minute, it's a miracle.
Now I wouldn't say it's a miracle, but you know what I would say?
It's a phenomenon.
I would say it is unparalleled in human history.
It is definitely very remarkable, but it's not a miracle because when you have multi-billions
of dollars, you can make a lot of miracles happen.
When you have the money of the Rothschilds, when you have the money of the Jewish bankers
of the world, you can make things happen.
You can make something happen that looks like a miracle, but it's not a miracle.
It's just you have the money to buy the politicians and you have the money to buy
the tickets and bring all the Jews back to Palestine because you got the money to do
it because you're a fractional reserve lender.
That's why you have the money to do that, because you can make money appear out of
thin air, which some people would consider a miracle.
It's more like a magic trick.
I mean, if I brought a hat up and started pulling money out of a hat, like pulling
rabbits out of a hat, no one would say I'm a miracle worker.
They would say that I'm a magician.
If you would, look at Genesis 13.
These are some of the promises to Abraham that Christians today will really focus on
when they want to say, hey, that land belongs unto the Jews today.
They'll focus on scriptures like Genesis 13 and 15 where it says, for all the land
which thou seest, to thee will I give it and to thy seed forever.
Verse 17, arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of
it, for I will give it unto thee.
Look at chapter 15, verse 7, chapter 15, verse 7, and he said unto him, I am the Lord
that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees to thee, this land, to give thee this land
to inherit it.
Chapter 17, verse 8, flip over to chapter 17, verse 8, it says, and I will give unto
thee and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of
Canaan, for an everlasting possession and I will be their God.
Now, I don't know about you, but when I see the word everlasting and forever, I actually
believe that.
I believe that means everlasting forever.
Now this can't be talking unto the Jews because frankly they didn't have the land forever.
They got kicked out of the land and they were gone from it for, what, 1800 and some
years?
So for 1800 and some years they didn't have that land.
That doesn't sound like an everlasting possession when you're kicked out of it for 1800 and
some years.
Well, but God just knew they were coming back.
No, see the promise is being made unto Abraham and he's using the word the singular
and he says, I'm giving this land unto thee and thy seed.
All we have to do is go to Galatians chapter 3, you don't have to turn there, but in
Galatians chapter 3 it says, now to Abraham and to his seed were the promises made.
He saith not to seeds as of many, but he said, but as of one to thy seed and he said
that seed, which is Christ, the seed of Abraham is Christ.
So when you read this where it says for all the land which thou see is to thee will
I give it and to thy seed forever, he's saying, I'm going to give it unto you Abraham and
to your seed, which is Christ and all those that are in Christ because all they that
are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
That's what the Bible, if you're of faith, you're a child of Abraham.
Remember when they told Jesus, the Jews told Jesus in John chapter 8, they said,
we be Abraham's seed and he said, if ye were Abraham's children, you would do
the works of Abraham.
He said, you do the deeds of your father.
He said, you are of your father, the devil said, Abraham is not your father.
God is not your father.
You are of your father, the devil.
So these promises were made unto Abraham and to his seed.
There's no promise that's just an unconditional promise that says all of the physical descendants
of Abraham, all of the Jews or all of the Israelites have this land.
It's for them no matter what they do, no matter how blasphemous they are, no matter
what sins they commit, that's not true.
And if that were true, if God really made a promise like that, then he's broken it
many times by kicking them out of that land.
So to sit there and say, well that land belongs to them by virtue of the fact that
they are the physical descendants of Abraham, that is meaningless.
Now go to Genesis 15, you're right there in chapter 17, because a popular teaching
that I've heard a lot is they say, well, you know, God never really fulfilled that
promise to Abraham because they'll say, I don't know if you've seen the maps of the greater
Israel borders, where they'll show you that it's from the land of the, I'm sorry, that
it's the land from the river of Egypt all the way to the river Euphrates.
And they'll say, hey, that still hasn't been fulfilled.
That needs to be fulfilled for the physical seed of Abraham.
They say God has not yet fulfilled promises to Israel.
And these dispensations always say, you know, there are a lot of Old Testament promises
to Israel that God still has to fulfill.
It's all been fulfilled unto that physical nation.
And they've been rejected at this time.
But look if you would, let me just show you how this is a false doctrine.
Go to, look at Genesis 15, 18.
It says, in the same day, the Lord made a covenant with Abraham saying, unto thy seed
have I given this land from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
Well, see right there, God promised the Jews everything from the river of Egypt all the way
to Euphrates.
And I've seen all kinds of maps online where they draw this out.
This is what Israel should have, all this land.
Big chunk of this, chunk of that.
Okay, go to Deuteronomy chapter 2.
See this is just a failure to study the Word of God.
It's just a being tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine to think, oh man,
we need to make sure the Jews get this huge portion of land from the river of
Egypt to the river Euphrates.
Let's see if that's really what the Bible is teaching in that scripture.
Look at Deuteronomy chapter 2 verse 9.
Remember, this is when the children of Israel are first coming out of Egypt.
They haven't even inherited the land yet.
They're about to inherit it for the first time.
God gave Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob no inheritance in the land.
They were strangers and pilgrims in that land.
They dwelled in tents in that land.
They never owned that land.
But he's bringing them out of Egypt to conquer and inherit that land.
And they're going to the promised land.
Look what God specifically says to them in Deuteronomy 2.9.
The Lord said unto me, distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle,
for I will not give thee of their land for a possession, because I have given are
unto the children of Lot for possession.
Look at verse 19.
And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor
meddle with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon
any possession, because I have given it unto the children of Lot for possession.
This land is within that space of river of Egypt to river of Euphrates.
And God's saying, I'm not giving it to you.
It's for Moab.
It's for Ammon.
It's not yours.
So to sit there and say that God intends us to just physically, politically give them
all that land, it all belongs to them, that's a promise that needs to be physically
fulfilled.
God said no about part of it even back then.
And even when they first went in with Joshua, when they disobeyed God, even with Joshua,
even though they had the faith to go into the promised land, they were not perfect.
And they made some serious mistakes, and they disobeyed God, and God told them, I'm
not going to give you all the land.
I'm going to leave the Philistines here over in the Gaza Strip.
I'm going to leave them there.
You're not going to be able to drive out the Hivites.
You're not going to be able to drive out the Jebusites.
I'm going to leave these.
He never gave them all the land because they did not keep their end of the bargain.
They never did.
So you say, well how is this going to be fulfilled?
Well if it's a promise that's made unto Abraham and his seed, which is Christ, to
have the land forever, well you know what?
Someday in the millennial reign of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is going to be ruling
and reigning, and these people, the children of Abraham, will inherit all that land.
All the believers that are the spiritual seed of Abraham, and even many of the physical
seed of Abraham that are believers, are going to inherit this land in the millennial reign
of Christ.
And also in the new heaven and new earth will inherit all things.
That's why it says it's an everlasting possession, and it's a land that he'll inherit forever.
But to try to apply these forever everlasting Abraham and his seed promises unto the Jews
of today is a false doctrine.
It is to totally misunderstand the whole history of the nation of Israel, which is a
history of being removed from the land when they don't believe, and being brought
back when they do believe.
Do the Jews today believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?
Why did he kick them out?
Because they rejected Christ.
So why would he bring them back when they still reject Christ?
It makes absolutely zero sense.
So this is one of the lies of the Jews today, is hey we own this land, this land
belongs to us.
God didn't put you, God did not say that you could just have that land and use it as
a den of iniquity.
He didn't give you that land to turn it into some den of iniquity, a den of sodomy,
a den of perversion, a den of false religion, no, a den of abortion.
He gave you that land to be a light unto the Gentiles.
He gave you that land for when you were obeying him and worshipping him and serving
him.
And when you stopped doing that, you forfeit your right to that land.
That's why he never let you into it in the first place when you didn't believe and that's
why he kicked you out of it other times when you turned away from him.
So that's one of the lies of the Jews today.
Now here's the next lie, go to Acts chapter 7.
The seventh lie of the Jews today is that the star on their flag is the star of David.
They'll lie to you, if you point to that star, you say what is that star?
They'll say oh that's the star of David.
And you know what's funny, we asked a bunch of rabbis, we asked all these rabbis, what
is that star and they said they had no idea.
Every rabbi that we talked to had no idea where that symbol comes from.
And I asked all four of them, I said, is that in the Bible anywhere?
No.
Now the Bible talks a lot about David.
So if there were a star associated with David, we'd read about it somewhere.
We talked to all the Jewish experts and they said that star is found nowhere in
the Bible, we have no idea where that symbol comes from.
Now I can tell you exactly where that symbol comes from.
That's the star of Remphan.
Look at Acts chapter 7 verse 43, it says, Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the star of your god Remphan figures which he made to worship them, and I will
carry you away beyond Babylon.
So the only star that we see associated with the children of Israel is the star of Remphan.
When they worshiped a false god, they had the star of Remphan as an icon and as a symbol.
We never see a star of David in scripture, but the star of the false god Remphan.
And so we know today that they are not worshiping the true god.
Because the Bible says, he that denieth the son, the same hath not the father,
but he that acknowledgeeth the son, hath the father also.
If the Jews do not believe on the son, the Bible says they don't have the father.
So who do they have?
Somebody else, a false god.
Call it what you want, Shekinah, the female goddess that they worship, we showed that
in the scripture this morning, other things that prove that.
Now go if you would to 1 Timothy 1 where we started the sermon.
First Timothy 1, and this is what I want to spend a lot of time on tonight.
Because one of the biggest lies that they'll use is they'll say, we're Jews, and you're
Gentiles.
Okay, this is what they'll say, we're Jews, you're Gentiles.
And when they spoke to us they say, you know, you Gentiles.
They said, what you Gentiles call the Old Testament, we call the Only Testament.
So they basically call us Gentiles and they say, we're Jews, you're Gentiles.
That's actually a lie.
Now the Bible talks about them in Revelation 2.9, and it's funny because sometimes people
today will tell you, oh the book of Revelation covers the tribulation, and the tribulation
is all about the Jews.
Here's the funny thing, the word Jews is used twice in Revelation, and both times it's
calling them the synagogue of Satan, both times.
The only two times you'll find the word Jews in Revelation is in chapters 2 and
3.
You say, well it says Israel over here.
Israel and Jews are two different things, don't have time to go into it.
But anyway, Revelation 2.9 says, it says, I know the blasphemy of them which say
they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Now we know that only one religion uses synagogues, Judaism, and he said they say they're Jews
and are not, but do lie.
Now who uses a synagogue and says we're Jews?
Obviously the Jews.
But you say, wait a minute Pastor Harrison, they say they're Jews and they really are.
But the reason that it says they say they are Jews and are not but do lie is because
in Romans 2.28 it says, but he is not a Jew which is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision
which is outward in the flesh, but he is a Jew which is one inwardly.
And the Bible says in Philippians 3, 3, we are the circumcision who worship God in the
spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh.
So in God's eyes they're not Jews.
In God's eyes they're not, because they're not inwardly.
So he says they say they're Jews and are not, but do lie, but are the synagogue of
Satan.
And it's interesting what he says in Revelation 3, 9, because he says, behold I will make
them of the synagogue of Satan which say they are Jews and are not, but do lie, behold
I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have
loved thee.
Now why would he have to make them know that God loved the Philadelphians, because
you know what they think?
Well God loves us, but he doesn't love you.
We're the chosen people, you're not.
We're the Jews, you're the Gentiles.
We're the chosen, you're the goyim, is the word that they use.
You know, goyim, their Hebrew word for those that are of the heathen, that's what they
consider us.
I'm going to prove this to be false.
I've already proved it spiritually false, because the Bible says we're the Jews which
are Jews inwardly.
We're the circumcision because we rejoice in Christ Jesus.
You're in 1 Timothy, but I do need to just quickly read from Ephesians before I
get into this wonderful chart over here on the whiteboard, but Ephesians chapter 2
reads in verse number 11, listen to this, listen to this carefully, Ephesians 2.11,
Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision
by that which is called the circumcision and the flesh made by hands, that at that
time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers
from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world, but now in
Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Look at verse 19, now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners but fellow
citizens with the saints and of the household of God.
So what he says there in verse 12 is that in time past you were aliens from the commonwealth
of Israel.
You were foreigners.
Then in verse 19 he says you're not strangers and foreigners anymore, you're fellow citizens
now.
So he says in verse 12 you're an alien of Israel, you're a foreigner to Israel, and
in verse 19 he says you're a citizen of Israel.
So this idea of, oh, we're Jews, you're Gentiles, no, he says in verse number 11,
don't miss this, he says in verse 11, Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles
in the flesh.
Were you Gentiles?
You were in time past Gentiles, you're called uncircumcision, but actually through the blood
of Christ you've been brought nigh unto Israel.
You're a citizen of Israel, you're a part of Israel.
How can anyone read Ephesians 2 and not realize that we are citizens of Israel?
That's what it says.
When you were without Christ, you're a foreigner to Israel.
Now you're made nigh unto Israel through the blood of Christ, now you're a citizen
of Israel.
So when there's a bunch of people over in Israel today that call themselves citizens
of Israel, I say they're a bunch of foreigners over there, a bunch of strangers and aliens.
Why?
Because they're not made nigh by the blood of Christ.
In God's eyes they're not of Israel because they don't believe in Jesus Christ.
Those natural branches have been broken off and we've been graphed in as the Gentiles.
But think about this now.
In order to immigrate into Israel, now this is really important, in order to immigrate
to Israel you can't just be anybody and just immigrate into Israel.
You can't just, for example, be a Mexican and say I want to just go to Israel.
You can't just be of Chinese and just say I want to immigrate to Israel.
You can't be just an American and just say I want to immigrate to Israel.
In order to immigrate from Israel you have to be able to prove that you're Jewish in
order to immigrate to Israel today.
Now you can be someone of a different ethnicity and immigrate into Israel, but you would
have to convert to Judaism which involves renouncing Christ.
In order to convert to Judaism, we spoke to several rabbis, and you have to renounce
Jesus Christ.
You cannot believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
You cannot believe that he's the son of God.
So in order to become a citizen of Israel today you either have to prove that you're
Jewish, of Jewish blood, or you have to renounce the Lord Jesus Christ.
So there are two ways to immigrate to Israel.
Have Jewish ethnicity or deny Jesus and join the religion of Judaism.
It's a very rigorous conversion process that takes about a year and a half of just bowing
down onto the rabbis and doing whatever they say or whatever.
So anyway, I'm not really interested in it, so I don't have all the details.
But anyway, let me just explain to you how ridiculous this is, to say, oh, you have
to prove that you're Jewish, you have to prove that you're of Israel, then we'll
let you immigrate, and it's called the right of return.
Now they won't accept DNA, and I'm going to explain to you why in a moment.
They will not accept DNA.
You can go to a DNA lab and prove that you're related to them and prove that you're descended
from the same Jews that they're descended from.
They will not accept that.
You have to be certified by them, by the rabbis, by their Jewish community.
They'll certify whether you're Jewish or not.
DNA, which has been scientifically proven to be accurate, which has been used to convict
all kinds of criminals of the death penalty and to exonerate and let other people go
free because it is so accurate, they won't accept it.
And I'm going to show you why in a moment, because if they accepted it, it would prove
everything that they believed to be a fraud.
Now let me explain this chart to you that I've drawn over here.
I want to go over this with you, but first let me read for you from 1 Timothy.
Now I've already proven that we're spiritually of Israel, right?
That we're spiritually Jews according to Romans 2, Philippians 3, and Ephesians 2.
That's pretty easy to prove from the Bible.
We could turn to many other scriptures, but listen to me, I'm about to really blow you
away tonight, and I don't say that very often.
And I'm about to make a really big promise, and I'm going to deliver on that promise.
And when I first make this promise, many of you are not going to believe that I'm
able to do what I say I'm going to do tonight.
I'm going to promise to do something, and many of you are going to not believe that
I'm able to fulfill what I'm going to guarantee you.
But let me tell you something, I will deliver, okay?
And I don't say that lightly, just hear me out, okay?
Have I proven that we're spiritually the sons of Abraham?
I mean I've done that in many other sermons, have I proven that we're of Israel, we've
been brought nigh unto Israel, we're citizens of Israel, spiritually.
Listen to me tonight, you're not going to believe me, but when I'm done, you will
see it.
I'm going to prove to you tonight that you are a physical descendant of Abraham.
I'm going to prove it to you tonight.
I'll go a step further.
I am going to prove to you tonight that you are physically descended from Israel himself.
Not even just of Ishmael or Midian, I'm going to prove to you tonight that you
are physically descended from Israel.
You say I'm black, I'll prove it to you.
You say I'm Chinese, I'll prove it to you.
I'm Korean, I'll prove it to you.
I'm white, I'll prove it to you.
Now I know what you're thinking.
I know what you're thinking, Pastor Anderson's out of his mind, there's no way he can
prove that.
Look when I'm done tonight, the only people who will disagree with me are just people
who don't understand science and math.
No scientist will disagree when I'm done tonight.
No mathematician will disagree when I'm done.
That you, well surely you don't mean me, I mean you, are descended physically from
Israel.
Not spiritually, physically.
Let me step over to the board here, I know it's a tall order.
It's a big promise.
But let me explain it to you.
Now this is something that I actually learned when I traced my family tree and when I figured
out how this worked, this blew my mind, this blew me away.
And I learned this about 5, 6, 7 years ago when I was tracing my own ancestry in my
family tree.
And I want you to pay very close attention because this is going to involve math.
And so I want you to pay very careful attention, I'm going to explain this to you
and make it as simple as I can.
This is what a family tree looks like.
Who's ever made a family tree before?
Lots of people, great.
Now at the bottom of this family tree we just have one person, these circles represent
people.
So at the bottom of the family tree we just have one person which is you.
Now you descend from two people, don't you?
Your mother and your father.
So if we go back one generation you come from two people as a direct descendant, right?
But if we go back another generation you don't just have two grandparents, you have
four grandparents.
And it keeps doubling, doesn't it?
Because you have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, sixteen great-great-grandparents
and you have thirty-two great-great-great-grandparents.
Everybody follow so far?
And it keeps doubling because everybody has two parents, okay?
So we're going to use exponents tonight, okay?
Exponents will help us understand this because we started with one person, right?
That's two to the zeroth power equals one, alright?
Then in the first generation we go back, we're going back one generation, going back
to mom and dad.
We have two parents which is two to the first power.
When we go back two generations to our grandparents we have two squared or two to the second
power which is four, four grandparents, right?
If we go back three generations we have eight great-grandparents, that's two to the
third power.
Four generations it's going to be two to the fourth power, sixteen.
Two to the fifth power, thirty-two, two to the sixth power, sixty-four.
So the number keeps doubling, doesn't it?
Now that means if I were going to do a family tree that went back five generations
I would have to have a piece of paper wide enough to where at the top of that paper
I'd be able to have thirty-two people's names, wouldn't I?
Because that's how many ancestors I'm going to have directly in that fifth generation.
Now if I went to the sixth generation my paper is going to have to be twice as wide
because now I'm going to have sixty-four slots to put in names, right?
Now our parents are two different people.
Our grandparents are four different people.
Our great-grandparents are eight different people.
Now how could we have three grandparents?
It would be like a guy with two wives and people are marrying their half-sister, it'd
be a mess.
So these people are all unique people.
If I made a family tree like this these would all be unique names, all unique people,
all different people.
Not like that song I'm My Own Grandpa about living in the south and so forth.
Anyway, so have you ever heard that song?
So anyway, a normal family tree going back five generations, all the names are pretty
likely to be unique.
And I've done my family tree to this level and the names are all unique.
It's all unique people because there are a lot of fish in the sea, a lot of people
in the world, right?
Well what happens though is that as we go back further this number gets really big.
Now in order to understand how this chart works we have to understand how long a generation
is.
Now a generation has nothing to do with the lifespan.
For example, my mother gave birth to me when she was 30 years old.
Most women give birth to children around that age.
The childbearing time would be pretty much between 20 and 40 these days.
It would be the primary time that women are giving birth.
So let's just take 30 as an average.
My mom was 30 when she had me.
If you go online and type in how long is a generation, the number that keeps coming
up over and over again is 25, 25, 25.
Sometimes you'll see 30, sometimes you'll see 20 something.
But 30 is a nice round number and 30 is a very conservative number for this calculation.
So a generation is 30 years, meaning somebody has a child when they're 30 and then they
have a child when they're 30, they have a child when they're 30.
Nothing to do with lifespan.
So that means that if we go back 10 generations and a generation is 30 years, then that's
300 years, right?
So let's just round off and say that if we went back in our family tree about
10 generations, we're going to be about the year 1700.
Does that make sense everybody?
About 300 years ago.
Now because our family tree is getting wider, if we wanted to do a complete family
tree showing all of our ancestors back to the 10th generation, we would have to have
a piece of paper that was wide enough to have 1024 slots because 10 generations ago
there would be 1024 people that we would directly descend from, right?
Because it's going 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 when we get to the 10th generation.
Now here's what I noticed when I did my family tree though.
When I went back 10 generations, you know what I started noticing?
These are no longer unique people.
Why?
Because people marry their, don't you hate it when you accidentally marry your 7th cousin
and you didn't even know that she was such a close relative?
Obviously you don't know, I mean who here can name their third cousins?
Who even knows what a third cousin is?
But anyway, basically this is what a cousin is.
A cousin is the people that you share your grandparents with.
You share the same grandparents, right?
A second cousin is somebody that you share great grandparents with.
So for example, the children of cousins are second cousins.
The children of second cousins are third cousins.
The children of third cousins are fourth cousins.
You don't have to understand all that.
But what I want you to understand is that by the time I got to the 10th generation
these 1024 people were not all unique because there had been some intermarriage in that
300 years that had unknowingly taken place.
Let's go back 20 generations.
So now we're back around the year 1400.
Well if I wanted to have a complete family tree, I would have to have a piece of paper
that could fit 1,048,576 names.
That's a pretty big piece of paper.
It's an unbelievably sized piece of paper.
Now do you think all of these people are going to be unique?
Maybe not, right?
Okay.
Now let me just show you the scripture.
I'm going to come back to that chart, just digest that for a minute.
Look at 1 Timothy chapter 1.
In 1 Timothy chapter 1 it says in verse 4, neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies.
I want you to keep that phrase in your mind.
Endless genealogies which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith,
so do.
Here he just said avoid genealogies, but here he says to avoid endless genealogies.
Now I'm going to show you why genealogies are endless.
They truly are endless.
So in the year 1400, if I'm going to trace all of my ancestors, I'm going to tell you
who all of my ancestors from the 1400s are, I would have to show you a family tree that
just at the top would have a million some people, just in the top row, let alone everything
else coming downward, right?
If I were to go back 30 generations, now I'm only in the year 1100.
I'm not even close to the time of Christ yet, am I?
No.
If I went back to the year 1100, 30 generations, I would have 1,073,741,824 ancestors in that
generation.
Now listen, they're not all unique, and let me tell you why.
There were not a billion people living in the world at that time.
So there's a lot of repeating going on, right?
You know what that shows?
That a lot of people are descending from the same people.
Cannot help but intermarry.
It's impossible not to because of these numbers.
Now look, the real number that we want to go back to is not 1100 AD.
Let's go back to 70 AD because 70 AD is when all the Jews were scattered into all nations.
And they were scattered into all nations, okay?
If we were to go back to 70 AD and we were to have a family tree that shows all of our
ancestors in 70 AD and how they're connected, that top line would have 18 quintillion,
446 quadrillion, 744 trillion names from 70 AD.
Now who thinks that there were 18 quintillion, 446 quadrillion, 744 trillion people living
at the time of Christ or shortly thereafter?
No.
In fact, the approximate population at that time was 200 million on this earth, okay?
Of that 200 million, let's just call 7 or 8 million Jews.
You say, I don't like that number.
Well that number's not going to matter in a minute, okay?
So let's just call it 7 or 8 million, okay?
So if there are 200 million people on the earth at the time of the temple being destroyed
and in 70 AD there are 200 million people on the earth and about 7 or 8 million of
them are Jews, that means if I have an ancestor from that era, there's a 1 in 27 chance
that they were of Israel.
That's not even counting all the mixing that could have taken place up to that point.
Let's just use this number.
Let's just say 1 in 27 people living at that time are descendants of Israel and let's say
that 200 million is the population of the earth.
So basically each of my ancestors has a 1 in 27 chance of being of Israel.
Does everybody understand?
Okay, how many slots am I filling in on that family tree?
18 quintillion slots, right?
So think about this.
What if I were buying a lottery ticket and the odds of that lottery ticket coming up
a winner are 1 in 27, does everybody understand?
Because that's the winning ticket that says, you're Jewish, you're of the chosen
people, you are of Israel, you are an Israelite indeed, I've got a 1 in 27 chance of pulling
that number.
Okay, you say, well Pastor Anderson if you have a 1 in 27 chance you're probably not
going to win that lottery because you've got 26 chances of losing.
But what if I buy 18 quintillion lottery tickets?
You think I'm going to win?
So what if I buy 18 quintillion lottery tickets and I've got a 1 in 27 chance of
striking Jewish?
You think I'm going to hit it?
Now let me ask you this.
How many times do I have to hit it to be descended from Abraham?
How many times do I have to hit it to be descended from Israel?
So how can anyone in here say, I'm not descended from Israel?
I don't have a drop of Jewish blood in my body.
You're saying that you basically, out of all these chances, and I realize that these
are not unique people, okay, there are not 18 quintillion ancestors, but you're filling
out your family tree, there are 18 quintillion, bleh, I can't even say these numbers, 18 quintillion
spots for you to write a name of someone in that generation that you directly descend
from and only one of them, only one of them has to be in Israel.
Well there were 7 or 8 million, okay, let's just say 1 million, right?
Let me grab my pen here.
Well there were 7 or 8 million, okay how about just 1?
How about a 1 in 200 chance?
You got a 1 in 200 chance of your ancestor from that generation being an Israelite and
you're buying this many tickets.
Think you're going to hit it?
You say, well Pastor Anderson, you're not taking geography into account.
I mean if you're in the Middle East, you're much more likely to hit it than if you're
in Korea or China or Africa or you know, I mean what are the chances that you're going
to hit it then?
But wait a minute, you only have to hit it once.
You only have to have one ancestor out of all these ancestors, only one has to be of
Israel.
Now you say, well I'm Hispanic.
Okay first of all, people that are Hispanic, notice, Spanish, Spain.
Did you know that Spain was one of the places where the Jews lived the most?
There was a huge Jewish population in Spain until 1492 because in 1492, all of the Jews
were forced to either be, in 1492 all the Jews had to either leave Spain or convert
to Catholicism or die.
Those are their choices.
Well guess what a lot of them did?
A lot of them left Spain, but you know what a lot of them did?
Convert to Catholicism.
That's why today a huge portion of the Spanish population is directly descended
from those Jews because a lot of them were the conversos, you know, they converted
onto Catholicism.
And then you know what those people in Spain and Portugal who were Jews who converted
to Catholicism, you know what their descendants did?
They came to Mexico, they came to South America, they came to Brazil.
So people all over Mexico, Brazil, South America, they are for certain going to have
ancestors from Spain and Portugal somewhere in their big giant family tree of millions
of ancestors and for sure there's going to be at least one of them that's a Jew.
At least one out of millions of ancestors out of a quintillion chances, 18, 18 quintillion
mind you.
You say, well you know I'm black, I'm of Africa, how can I be connected with Abraham?
Well stop and think about it.
Israel, we're not even talking about Abraham, I'm even saying you're of Israel.
Think about Israel's children.
You know what one of Israel's children, Joseph, guess where his wife was from?
Egypt.
Joseph's wife was of Egypt, where's Egypt?
Africa.
Joseph's wife was Ethiopian, his second wife was Ethiopian.
So we already see, even in Bible days, intermingling with Africa, intermingling with the sons
of Ham.
I mean if you think about it, the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were half of Ham
and half of Israel because Israel's son Joseph married an Egyptian woman who's of Ham.
So all of the Ephraimites and Manassites are descended of Ham.
They all have connections with Africa.
And not only that, but all throughout history you've had all kinds of merchants and missionaries
and conquerors, even you think of the Mongolian Empire that went all over the world and
that conquered China, that conquered Japan, that conquered Korea, all the ships that
sailed and went here and there and everywhere.
You only have to have one ancestor out of your millions and millions of ancestors.
You only have to have one that descends from Israel and you are a direct descendant
of Israel today.
Only one is what's necessary.
Now anybody who understands what I explained just now, anybody who knows math, you know
we've got a certified accountant, do you approve this message?
We have a certified accountant in the front row here that just told me that he approves
what I'm saying.
Because any mathematician knows that this is true.
And you know what, any scientist will tell you this is true.
We talked to the guy at the DNA lab, he said you go back several hundred years, we're
all the same.
You know what, the Bible was right when it said we're all of one blood.
That God has made the nations of the earth of one blood.
You sit there and say, oh I'm just purely a white person, oh I'm just purely Asian,
I'm just purely African.
No you're not, no one is.
No one is.
That's why it's so ridiculous to take pride in that.
Oh well I'm Jewish, you're a Gentile.
Those Palestinians over there, all descend from Abraham.
Every single one of them.
Well no, you mean most, all of them.
Every single Palestinian is a descendant of Jacob.
Anybody who disputes that statement after seeing this information just doesn't understand
math and doesn't understand science.
And the guy from the DNA lab will tell you there's been so much mingling.
And look, you can sit there and have your endless genealogy, it won't even be accurate.
Because you know what, you can't tell from a genealogy, somebody who committed adultery
and lied to their husband and said, oh yeah this is your son, and he's not.
People that are adopted and not told that they're adopted, or even they're told they're
adopted and that information gets lost.
I mean who can tell you all the people in your lineage that were adopted?
Oh yeah my ancestors 300 years ago were adopted.
You're not going to remember that.
So there are adoptions, there's infidelity, there's traveling, there's conquest, there's
merchants, there are missionaries.
It doesn't matter where you're from folks.
You know why God said to avoid this?
Because it hurts your mind to even think about this.
I mean these numbers bend the mind.
He's just like, just avoid it, just avoid endless, you know what, they minister questions.
I mean does this make you feel really sure about your nationality now?
No, it raises a lot of questions.
Because now you're thinking, good night, who do I, am I descended from?
You know, Iroquois, Gypsy, African, Chinese, Korean, Caucasians?
You know, we're all mixed.
There is no pure, you know, the Nazis, the pure Aryan, baloney.
There's no such thing.
Because one little drop of Jewish blood, and I asked the guy, I asked the leader
of the Jewish congregation, I said to him, how Jewish is Jewish?
I said, how many Jewish ancestors do I have?
I said, I did my family tree and I said ten generations back, so at this level, because
I really did, I found someone with a Jewish name and he said, well as long as it's the
matrilineal line, because they do it on the mother's side for some bizarre reason,
as long as it's matrilineal, he said, then you're Jewish.
Then we're all Jewish.
But do you see now why Israel doesn't let you use DNA?
To return to the land?
I want to return!
I want to return to my homeland and my ancestors!
Let me return to Israel!
I'm an Israelite!
Prove it!
I mean, John Hagee ought to buy me a ticket.
Help this Jew return to the homeland.
I don't want to go, but here.
Now look, this just goes to show you what a fraud this whole thing is of, well they're
the Jews and you're the Gentile.
Don't say you're a Jew, don't say you're of Abraham, you're not a son of Abraham,
you're a Gentile, they're the Jews!
These Palestinians, they're all of Ishmael.
The Palestinians are of Ishmael and the Jews are of Israel.
Every Jew is also of Ishmael because of mixing.
And every Palestinian is also of Israel.
Now some people who don't comprehend this, here's what they'll say, well how could we
all be descended from Abraham when there were other people living at that time to descend
from?
Because you don't descend from one person, you descend from millions of people.
And only one of them has to be a descendant of Israel for you to be a descendant of Israel.
And the chances, I mean I was going to put on the board the chances of you not being
an Israelite.
It had so many zeros it couldn't fit on the board.
You know, this is your chance, it's like you have a point zero zero zero zero zero
zero, it'd be like all over the wall, like just these are the chances of you
not being of Israel.
So you know what it becomes?
Just statistically insignificant at that point.
Any mathematician will tell you.
So I could tell you tonight you have a 99.99999% chance of being of Israel, but you know it
just makes more sense to just say 100%.
Let's just round up to the nearest significant digit and just call it 100%.
Anyone who says well you know there's still a chance, you need to go back to math class
and you need to go back to science class.
Let me just wrap up my sermon with one last thing.
Ezra chapter 10, because I'm running out of time, but I really wanted to drive that
point in.
Ezra chapter 10, because this is what people will say, you know, people are just stubborn
my friend.
People are really stubborn, you show them the truth and they just don't want to accept
it no matter what you show them.
So there are going to be some people who, you know how they're going to argue with
this right here?
Here's how they're going to argue with this.
They're going to say, well no Pastor Ezra, because the Jews were really careful never
to intermarry with other nations throughout history.
They were just, look, only a few slip ups and you're bringing in all kinds of DNA,
okay number one, but they say no no no Pastor Ezra, you don't understand, the Jews were
just really careful not to intermarry throughout history.
I mean all, yeah I know they were scattered into all nations, I know they were throughout
Europe but they only married each other.
I've heard this so many times.
They only married each other, they were really careful to just marry within the Jewish
community and that's how they preserved their identity.
No they preserved their identity through religion, that's of Antichrist.
But you say, oh no no, they really were careful to preserve that identity Pastor Anderson.
They did not mix.
Well first of all, what about the ones that converted and assimilated into the societies
where they lived?
They're mixing all over the place.
And what about people that were non-Jews who converted to Judaism?
In Esther chapter 817 it says many of the people of the land became Jews for the fear
of the Jews fell upon them.
And when they became Jews they're going to intermarry now.
So that logic falls apart, but let's see if that's really true.
Let's go back to the days of Ezra, one example.
I could show you tons of examples of intermarriage.
I could show you Joseph marrying an Egyptian, Moses marrying an Ethiopian, I mean I could
show you tons of intermarriage, but let's just look at one example.
Because remember the Jews were really good, I mean they were in Europe, I mean they
only married each other Pastor Anderson, that's why your logic falls apart.
Okay Ezra 10.19.
And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives and being guilty they
offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
And of the sons of Immer, Hanani, and Zebediah.
And of the sons of Harim, Maasiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.
And of the sons of Pashur, Elioenai, Messiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jezabad, and Elisa.
Also of the Levites, Jezabad, and Shimei, and Caliah.
The same as Calida, Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
Of the singers also, Eliashib, and of the porters, Shalom, and Tellem, and Uriah.
Moreover of Israel, the sons of Perosh, Ramiah, and Jeziah, Malchiah, and Miamin,
and Eliezer, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.
And of the sons of Elam, Madaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jerimoth, and
Eliiah.
And of the sons of Zatu, Elioenai, Eliashib, Madaniah, and Jerimoth, and Zebed, and
Meziza.
And of the sons of Bibi, Jehoannan, Hananiah, Zabbi, and Athlai.
And of the sons of Banai, Mesholam, Malak, and Nadiah, Jashub, and Sheol, and Ramoth.
And of the sons of Peyeth-Moab, Adna, and Keelal, Benaiah, Maesiah, Madaniah, Bezaleel,
and Benuiah, and Manasseh.
And of the sons of Harim, Eliezer, Eishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shemian, Benjamin, Malak,
and Shemariah.
And of the sons of Hashim, Madanai, Matathah, Zebed, Eliphileth, Jeremiah, Manasseh, and
Shemaiah.
Of the sons of Banai, Maediah, Amram, and Uel, Benaiah, Bedaiah, Keleh, Benaiah, Maramoth,
Eliashib, Madaniah, Madaniah, and Jashau, and Banai, and Benuiah, Shemaiah, and Shelamiah,
and Nathan, and Adiah, Mach-Nabadi, Shashai, Shari, Azaril, and Shelamiah, Shemariah, Shalom,
Amoriah, and Joseph.
Of the sons of Nebo, Jeil, Madathiah, Zebed, Zebinah, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah.
All these had taken strange wives.
And some of them had wives by whom they had children.
I rest my case.
They'd all taken strange wives.
Did you hear that list?
That's one event.
That's one generation.
No, Pastor, they were really good about not intermarrying.
They just kept it within the Jewish community.
Right, sure.
But you know what?
People are just stubborn.
This is their sacred cow.
Israel, the Jews.
They love that Star of David.
It's a rim fan.
They love this nation of people and think, they're just so wonderful.
Look, I don't love them or not love them any more than anybody else.
They're just human.
They're just people.
You say, you hate Jews, then I'd be hating myself because I'm a Jew.
No, you just hate the ethnicity of Jews.
I'm of the ethnicity of the Jews.
Well, you hate Obama because he's Jewish.
You say, he's a Muslim, he's Jewish, he's a Jewish Muslim, I guess.
I don't know.
I mean, look, just name anybody you want.
I'll declare them a Jew right now.
Just name who you want.
You know, Sammy Davis Jr. converted to Judaism, but he was already ethnically a Jew.
Be not deceived.
You know what?
This is stupidity to sit there and say, oh yeah, the Jews are God's chosen people.
No, if you believe in Christ, you're God's chosen people because we're all of one blood.
We're all the same.
We're all human beings.
We're all related.
You know what?
We are the chosen people if we believe in Jesus Christ, and those who don't believe
in Jesus Christ are not the elect.
You say, oh, the 144,000.
They're going to be of those 12 tribes.
Look, somebody said, well, they don't know who they are, but God does.
God could just pick 12,000 people randomly and they'd be of Reuben with all this mixing.
He could just pick 12,000 people randomly and they'd be of Dad.
They'd be of Asher.
Anybody.
But you know what?
That's not true.
Those 12 tribes in Revelation are Old Testament saints from back when those tribes actually
existed and meant something.
It don't mean anything anymore.
No Jew can even tell you what tribe they're of today because they haven't gone their
family tree all the way back to 70 AD.
But thank God we're the chosen ones.
Doesn't it feel good to be chosen?
Doesn't it feel good to be the elect?
You know, God's people, the holy nation.
Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer.
Father, we thank you so much for these spiritual truths, Lord, and thank you for
giving us minds that can comprehend math and that can learn why everything in the
Bible was right.
You were right when you said endless genealogies.
You were right when you said that Abraham was a father of many nations.
You were right, Lord, when you said just avoid genealogies and just figure out whether
you're of Abraham by whether you have the faith of Abraham.
Lord, please help us all to not feel that we are second class citizens of the
Kingdom of God, but to know that we are of the chosen people.
And Lord, help us to love the lost, whether they're so-called Jewish, whether they
be red, yellow, black, white, Lord.
How ridiculous for someone to hate those of another race when, you know, they must
have an ancestor of those nationalities somewhere if we go back far enough.
Lord help us to go our separate ways, Lord, with just a renewed appreciation for our
position in Christ and for our position as the elect.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
All right, let's go ahead and sing a song before we go.
