Amen, the part of the chapter we're going to focus on this morning is found in verse
number 25 of Romans chapter 11 where the Bible reads, For I would not, brethren, that ye
should be ignorant of this mystery lest ye should be wise in your own conceits
that blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles
be come in and so all Israel shall be saved as it is written there shall come
out of Zion a deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. The title of
my message this morning is all Israel shall be saved, all Israel shall be saved.
Now before you cast me out of the church or I just uh just hear me out first
all right all Israel shall be saved. By the way I'm taking it straight from the
from the from the Bible amen all Israel shall be saved we're gonna explain what
that means you know there's a lot of confusion over this verse and before we
get into any of that I want to first say that we as a church we are a post-trib
pre-wrath rapture Church okay and if you believe differently we're not against
you if you believe differently you're not inferior to us but we want you to
understand what the Bible says about this subject okay and by the way some of
you in here were probably pre-trib before and you came to the knowledge of
the post-trib pre-wrath and what happened you you you converted you saw what the
Bible said and you said I'm gonna go with what God says not what man's
opinion says amen well not only that but we are a a replacement theology Church
okay if you didn't know that I mean we just we got the scripture here but you
are a chosen generation amen and we believe that the Jews are no longer God's
chosen people we believe that we are the chosen of God why because God has chosen
the New Testament Saints to be God's chosen people we're gonna explain some
of that and just a little bit but often when you talk to people who believe in
it in a pre-tribulation rat or excuse me pre-tribulation doctrine and even that
the Jews are God's chosen people they will often refer to this verse right
here they will go to Romans 11 26 and say no no well hold on a second brother
Bruce the Bible says all Israel shall be saved and let me explain something in
the Bible when you are trying to prove a doctrine and let's say there's about 10
verses that prove this thought I mean clear scriptures that prove this
doctrine and you get one obscure verse that you know kind of maybe it seems
like it's saying the different thing go with the ten all right but let me say
this we know that the Bible is perfect it's an errant and there is no
contradiction in the Bible so that goes to show that that one verse is not
teaching something contrary to those ten verses it just means that one verse
you're just misinterpreting that one verse let me say this the other side of
this of this issue will agree with us on that on on that point right there
because if we're they would say look if there's ten verses that prove that
salvation is by grace through faith right and maybe there's that one verse
you know endure they that endure to the end they shall be saved right we all
know what that means if we don't we'll explain just a little bit we obviously
have to go with the ten verses and they would say explain to people out you know
when they're out sowing or whatever it may be and don't say that's not that one
verse is not what you think it means you got to go with the ten and here's
the thing there's scores of verses and even chapters in the Bible that teach
that the Jews are not God's chosen people I mean God has dedicated full
books in the Bible to talk about that subject right there full scriptures
things that are clear as day to tell us that we are God's chosen people but what
happens they'll get that one verse Romans 11 26 is I you know I agree with
that but here's the thing all Israel the Bible says shall be saved and here's
the thing I've been wanting to preach this for a long time and the reason why
is because that's the most common verse the people will use to try to disprove
us and here's the thing unfortunately not only pre-tribbers are confused
about this I've met people who believe in a posture pre-wrath who will they
stumble at this verse okay I met people who will say yeah I believe in a
posture pre-wrath but you know maybe God does have a plan for Israel at the end I
mean the Bible does say all Israel shall be saved you know and it's almost
like a stumbling point where pre-tribbers can use and say yeah but you
don't know what to do with this verse right here well we're gonna put that
thing to bed today and by the time you leave the service you will have no doubt
in your mind what that verse means in fact you will be equipped all right to
face the pre-tribbers the Mafia when they come to you you'll be able to say
I'm gonna tell you right now you can't I can't tell you in the beginning of the
sermon because then you're gonna leave before then no see in order to
understand when all Israel shall be saved we need to get the we need to get
certain foundational principles laid out first and if you want to write this down
you can write this down go to revelations chapter number one first and
foremost we need to understand the chronology of the book of Revelation
okay we need to understand that the book of Revelation book of Revelation is
written in chronological order of events all right and what you have in the book
of Revelation is this obviously there's 22 chapters and it's broken up really
into three different parts there's chapters 1 through 16 that records the
first century AD it records the tribulation it records the rapture it
records the the the wrath of God it records the the the Armageddon
millennial reign the new heaven and new earth it records everything right but
that's broken up into two parts you have chapters 1 through 11 and then you have
chapters 12 through 16 to repeat the same thing okay and you say yeah but
that's a long stretch what do you mean they're repeating the same thing the
Gospels are four books and they repeat the same thing too because here's the
thing chapters 1 through 11 there's certain aspects of the tribulation that
we see in Revelation chapter 6 that's not mentioned in chapter 13 right but
there's certain aspects in chapter 13 that clarify what's going on in
revelations chapter number 6 and then vice versa so it's written in
chronological order we need to understand that okay and the way the
chronological order works is this chapters 1 through 3 is really talking
about first century AD that's why the Bible says that it's it's to the seven
churches and by the way let me let me explain something to you these aren't
dispensations okay because they're often say these are different church ages
different dispensations and no these are literal churches okay these are literal
churches that existed at one point that don't exist anymore and let me say this
the primary interpretation of that is it was written to those seven churches yes
we could get a secondary application yes there's certain characteristics found
within those churches that we can apply to our church as a whole today but
here's the thing there were literal churches the Laodicean church does not
exist today oh wait let me take that back maybe they do exist in certain
areas right they're still Laodicean lukewarm I'm so sorry I was off on that
right look I'm a man I make mistakes and so but these literal churches don't
exist anymore well then you have chapters 5 through 6 there is the
narrator John the Apostle John given his experience when he's taken up in spirit
to see these things that are cut they're gonna come to pass chapter 6 we see the
tribulation before the Rapture okay we see that we see the six seals and the
seven seal that opens it up to the seven trumpets and vials and then we see what
we see Armageddon taking place and after Armageddon what takes place is the
millennial reign and then the white throne judgment new heaven and the new
earth so we need to understand the chronology of this and we're gonna go
get back to this in just a little bit revelation chapter 1 verse 18 says I am
he that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive forevermore amen and have the
keys of hell and of death write the things which thou has seen and the
things which are and the things which shall be hereafter it's denoting
chronology and one common phrase that you'll see throughout the book of
Revelation is this after these things denoting what chronology in chapter 7
you'll see it and throughout the chapters after chapter 7 you always
constantly see that phrase after these things are something similar to it it's
telling you this is in chronological order okay so that's the first thing we
need to realize there's a chronology to the book of Revelation and they'll
really help you to understand it because here's the thing pre-trippers will they
literally believe that the rapture is found in Revelation chapter 4 now I
remember I used to hear that the people would say yeah they believe that
revelation and chapter 4 is the rapture and I'm like you can't no way I don't
know they're not that dumb you know it's like revelation chapter 4 but I
remember being in Bible college sitting under an intensive when a pastor
literally got up and said yeah I mean John being caught up in the Spirit is
the rapture so is that the only guy that saved if he's the only one because he's
the only one that went up in Revelation chapter number four and the Bible says
that it was in the Spirit well we know that the rapture is what is a bodily
resurrection our bodies are gonna meet him in the air they which which are dead
in Christ shall rise first and we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
with them in the air it's a bodily resurrection so revelations 4 is not the
rapture but revelations chapter 6 we see the seals being opened we see the
answer is Antichrist coming in the economy changing and of course the
persecution of Christians and then after that the sun and moon are being darkened
that's the day of the Lord which is the same day as his wrath and that opens it
up after and then you see the 144,000 who are coming from heaven to here they're
not Israelites that get saved here okay oh yes it's I'm telling you okay now
here's the thing we have you say how do you know that because the two witnesses
the olive trees they come from heaven right so what's why is it so hard to
believe the 144,000 can come from heaven as well all right we're gonna prove that
in just a bit then we see the wrath of God and see here's the thing we will
often get criticized and people will say no you guys you guys want to believe you
guys want to go through the tribulation you guys want to go through the wrath
of God no we're pre-wrath we're not we're not mid-trippers because as people
like to call us we're post trip here before the tribulation excuse me yeah
before the tribulation excuse me after the tribulation but before the wrath of
God is what we believe okay we're not here for the wrath of God because the
Bible says that God has not appointed us to wrath bottom line and I'm saying is
anybody who's believed on Christ I mean since the book of John it tells us that
we're no longer under the wrath of God so the chronology of the book of
Revelation is very important to understand very important to memorize
very important to know where everything is but not only that we're gonna look at
the components of the rapture the particulars go to Revelation chapter
number one and verse number seven what does it look like you know if you've
seen the the what's that called the the movie tell me the movie left behind you
know your clothes are left and you know planes are crashing and all these things
and that's not the rapture and here's the thing in in in that movie left
behind it shows the battle of Gog and Magog in the very beginning well that's
why I said it's important to know the chronology of the book of Revelation
because that doesn't come to way after okay revelation chapter 1 verse 7 says
behold he cometh with what clouds and every eye shall see him and they also
which pierced him and all the kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him
even so a man the Bible says so first of all we understand that one of the
components of the rapture is this he's coming with clouds it's not a secret
rapture you know it's just like yeah and you just disappear it's not how it works
the Bible says that every eye will see him we're gonna behold him people are
gonna wail because of him why because the great day of his wrath is come the
Bible says now go to Acts chapter 1 I know a lot of stuff is like yeah I know
somebody see but here's the thing there's some people in our church even
today that don't know these things and you need to get used to listening to
these things because we're gonna talk about it over and over and over again
because we need a mature spiritual because even he look there's a lot of
people who even believe in a posture pre-wrath but they don't even need
necessary know how to explain it yet right or they don't know all the
specifics the details of the posture pre-wrath position revelation chapter
what I have you turn to Acts chapter 1 verse number 8 the Bible says here but
ye shall receive power and after the Holy Ghost has come upon you he shall be
witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the
othermost parts of the earth and when he had spoken these things while they
beheld he was taken up and a what received him out of their sight you say
that's not the rapture well let's keep reading and while they looked
steadfastly toward heaven as he went up behold two men stood by him in white
apparel which also said ye men of Galilee why stand ye gazing up into
heaven this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in
what like manner as he have seen him go into heaven so how did he leave in a
cloud he said that's the same way he's gonna come back in a cloud does that
make sense go to Matthew chapter 24 Matthew chapter 24 Matthew chapter
number 24 verse 29 the Bible says here immediately after the tribulation of
those days shall the Sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and
the stars of heaven the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heaven
shall be shaken and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven and
then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Son of Man
every eye shall see him coming into what clouds of heaven with power and great
glory and he shall send his angels with the great sound of a trumpet and they
shall gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the
other now the preacher the preacher preachers what they believe is this
their revelations for when the Bible says that the angel had a voice like a
trumpet they say that's it but no the Bible says it's a literal trumpet
they're gonna hear it everyone's gonna hear it and the Bible says here that he
cometh with clouds and when does it come after the Sun and moon are darkened okay
go to 1st Thessalonians chapter number 4 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 and they'll
often say well Matthew 24 come on you know she know what I'm about to say
Matthew 24 is not for us buddy it's for the Jews and we're looking in just a
little bit but if you were to ask them so why do you believe in a pre-trib
pre-tribulation rapture they'll often say it because the Bible says what no
man know at the day or the hour he cometh as a thief in the night right
well guess what that's found in Matthew 24 that's one thing I'm just like so
you're saying it's it's for the Jews then yes Matthew 24 is for the Jews
what about no man know at the day or the hour don't you believe in that yeah
where's that I don't know I'll show you what that's a Matthew 24 hey it's like
what are you doing it's right there Matthew 24 and by the way Matthew 24
mark 13 and Luke 21 are all parallel passages okay and mark 13 says something
that Matthew 24 doesn't say and I think he put it there specifically for the
pre-trib guys what does it say what I say to you I say into all watch first
Thessalonians chapter 4 verse 15 says this for this we say unto you by the
word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord
shall not prevent them which are asleep for the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout and with the voice of the Archangel and with the trump of
God and the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air and so shall we ever be with the Lord wherefore come from one another
with these words this the rapture is not a secret it's not something that just in
a twinkling they like to say this it happens in the twinkling of an eye and
here's the thing they say they basically say it's like a secret rapture but the
Bible says wherefore if they shall say unto you behold he is in the desert go
not forth behold he is in the secret chambers believe it not he says so the
Bible specifically tells us when they start telling you that it's like a
secret don't believe it don't believe it go to let's see here go to Matthew go
back to Matthew chapter 24 the rapture is not a secret which leads into my next
point okay so first we saw the chronology of the book of Revelation
then we looked at the components of the rapture now we're going to look at the
contradiction of the pre-tribulation rapture okay and look we don't look down
on people who are pre-trib but when they start when you show them the clear
verses you know and they still don't want to accept it now I'm gonna start
looking down and I'm gonna start thinking okay then you have a an agenda
then okay because here's the thing again I was pre trip okay but when the truth
is shown and the evidence is present you could you do one of two things you could
resist the truth and say no my gang is the pre-trib mafia and I'm never gonna
change or you can say you know what I love the Bible and I want to make sure
that I believe right I want to make sure that I'm right on this you know I'm
gonna switch positions you know regardless of the cost if everyone
abandons me or not this is what I'm gonna believe because this was this is
what God wants me to believe but there's a lot of contradictions within the
preacher right the greatest flaw of the pre-tribulation rapture is the teeth
this teaching of immanency which means it could happen all of a sudden okay
Matthew 24 verse 36 this is what they'll take you to but of that day and hour
knoweth no man know not the angels of heaven but my father only and by the way
we believe that because I've been you know and this is something that's been
said to me personally because you guys put a date you guys are putting the date
and here's the question what's the date right what's the date we know that it's
after the tribulation but just because we say it's after the tribulation
doesn't necessarily mean that we're putting a date to it because we don't
know the day or the hour because here's the thing the thing that kicks off
everything is the covenant that is signed by the Antichrist with many right
for one week but we don't know when that is so we don't know when everything
really starts we just know that when the abomination of desolation is set up from
that time for we have about 75 days okay but we don't know the day we don't know
the hour all right and anybody who accuses of that just ask them so what's
the date in the hour that we say that what's the time they were putting to it
they won't be able to tell you because we've never done anything like that
verse 42 says watch therefore for you know not what hour your Lord doth come
but know this that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the
thief would come he would have watched and would have not suffered his house to
be broken up therefore be also ready for in such an hour as you think not the Son
of Man cometh go back to 1st Thessalonians chapter number 4 we're
gonna go back and forth on these scriptures and we're gonna go back to
Revelation and I'm just giving you a foundational some foundations here in
order to understand all Israel being saved 1st Thessalonians chapter number
4 verse 15 says for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which
are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord should not prevent them which
are asleep now skip down to chapter 5 in verse number 1 so pre-tribbers and
post-tribbers we both agree that 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 is the
rapture I mean that's clear right I mean we would agree we would say yeah
that's that's the rapture but look at chapter 5 and here's the thing the Bible
is broken up into chapters but God didn't put those chapters there you guys
understand that right man put it there so we can understand it better so we can
so we can have some some organization so we can you know memorize verses and
stuff like that and we know where things are at so on and so forth but man put
it so this chapter 5 is a continuation of the thought that we have in 1st
Thessalonians chapter number 4 right and look what it says but of the times
and the seasons brethren ye have no need that I write unto you for yourselves know
perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night amen and
by the way they would agree with that too they would say yeah he comes as a
thief in the night you don't understand this is how you know that we don't know
the day or the hour when he's coming it's not after the tribulation because
he cometh as a thief in the night verse 3 for when they shall say peace and
safety then sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with
child and they shall not escape but ye brethren are not in what darkness that
that day should overtake you as a thief gotta keep reading sometimes you know
look and by the way Romans 11 26 they'll quote all Israel shall be saved and
they'll completely disregard the rest of the verse there's more to the verse than
all Israel shall be saved you guys know that right I mean it's not done yet okay
and by the way don't just disregard everything even before that they'll say
all Israel shall be saved let's just make that its own verse you know the
King James translators decided not to do that for some reason okay there's a
reason why it's all together and look what it says but ye brother are not in
darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief ye are all children of
light the children of the and the children of the day we are not of the
night nor of darkness therefore let us not sleep as do others but let us watch
and be sober for they that sleep sleep in the night and they that be drunken
they're drunken in the night see a lot of pre-trippers they're drunks
spiritually they're a bunch of alcoholics okay why cuz they're just
like yeah you drink and be married for tomorrow's the rapture you know eat
drinking you just live live it's gonna be okay we're not gonna suffer any of
these things no we need to be sober and see here's the thing they'll look at us
and say you guys are a bunch of you know conspiracy guys and no we just want to
be sober we want to watch we want to be alert during these during these things
and so here's the contradiction of the pre-tribulation wrath our
pre-tribulation rapture is this they believe that it just can happen at any
moment let me say this don't worry he's not coming today he's not even coming
tomorrow now talk to me in about three years then I will see the signs of the
times and maybe be able to say something but it's not happened even for the
three years okay because there's certain things that need to take place before
that happens there's a great confusion about this and here's the thing we need
to realize that but where are in the end times right now these are the last days
you know and it's it's surprising to Daniel says the Bible of the book of
Daniel talks about how how God's people are gonna grow in understanding during
this time and that's why these truths are coming out because why because God
doesn't want us to be asleep he wants us to be watchful he wants us to understand
that these things there's certain things that need to take place before
that happens go with me if you went to Jeremiah chapter number 30 Jeremiah
chapter number 30 pre-tribulation doctrine and Zionism or being pro-israel
they go hand in hand because the pre-tribulation doctrine is heavily
dependent on the Jews being God's chosen people okay let's start by saying this I
don't hate Jews okay I really I don't hate them I hate homos but I don't hate
Jews okay I don't hate them at all I've witnessed to Jews I've witnessed to
rabbis I mean how many people could say they witness to a rabbi you know you
know and he of course he rejected it because he had his covenant but or has
his coming right and but here's the thing is I don't hate them I want to
witness to them I want them to be saved but look we're not second-class citizens
according to the Bible okay we are God's chosen people and the Bible
clearly defines that for us Jeremiah chapter 30 verse number 7 says alas for
that day is great so that none is like it it is even the time of Jacob's
trouble but he shall be saved out of it now this is a key verse for them they
love referring to the tribulation as the time of Jacob's trouble okay now even I
heard a sermon the other day actually a couple weeks ago of a pre-trib pastor
and he was saying he goes what these post-trib guys don't understand is you
know they need to go through Daniel's trouble or like Jacob's 70th week it's
like it's Daniel 70th week the other one's called Jacob's trouble sometimes
you got to teach them what they believe it's actually called it's called Jacob I
don't believe in Jacob's trouble the way you believe in it but it let me just
it's called Jacob's trouble okay and here's the thing they'll use this verse
and they'll say there it is the time of Jacob's trouble the the seven year
tribulation is for the Jews it's God dealing with the Jews we know that to be
true why because the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled at the
rapture and after the rapture all Israel shall be saved we see the 144,000 and of
Jews which are not Jews they're of Israel the Jews are gonna be saved and
then in Revelation chapter 19 they'll see Jesus Christ you know coming in his
white horse and they'll say oh we were wrong let's believe real quick do you
really think that's how it's gonna go down here's the thing people say that
all the time they're like yeah I think that makes sense because how can you not
believe when you see him on the white horse they saw him come in a donkey and
they still didn't believe right he came into his own his own received him not
and then here's the thing in Revelation chapter 19 he comes with a lot of wrath
and he's coming to kill a lot of people and the Gospels he came resurrecting
people he came performing miracles he did things that no man has ever done and
they still didn't believe on him so don't tell me that just because he comes
on a white horse if it's a black horse if it's a pink one no they won't believe
no matter what horse he comes in that's just the bottom line and here's the thing
if you go to Revelation chapter 19 there's no account of any Jew believing
there's no account of any Israelite believing but here and if you tell them
it'll say yeah but Romans 11 26 all Israel shall be saved yeah but Jacob's
trouble says they he shall be saved out of it those are our text verses you're
using the Old Testament to prove something that doesn't exist in the New
Testament doesn't make any sense okay they believe that Jacob troubles it is
Daniel 70th week or what they would term as the seven-year tribulation that when
they believe that all Israel shall be saved go to Revelation chapter number
seven they say the Jews salvation is found in Revelation chapter 7 and
revelations chapter number 19 it says in verse number three saying hurt not
the earth neither the seed nor the trees till we have sealed the servants of our
God in their foreheads and say there you go they're being sealed in their
foreheads when you get saved you don't get sealed in your forehead okay you can
see what the Holy Ghost you know when you get saved and then until the day of
redemption but guess what the day of redemption has just happened right here
verse four and I heard the number of them which were sealed in there and
there were sealed in hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of
the children of Israel of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand
etc all the way down to verse number eight goes through all some of the
tribes there and they'll say there you go there you go see all Israel shall be
saved we'll go to Revelation chapter number 14 because remember we got to
know the chronology of the book of Revelation right brother David you could
can you turn on the AC is it is it hot in here it's a little warm right okay
turn on the AC revelations chapter 14 so you gotta understand some there's a
chronology right so revelations chapter number one all the way to chapter 11 is
the first part of Revelation right ad all the way up into the the the very end
and then chapter 12 all the way to 16 it basically repeats the same story so
revelations chapter 14 is a parallel passage to revelations chapter number
seven it's just gonna give different details of what's taking place look at
verse one says and look and I looked him and lo a lamb stood on the Mount of
Sion and with him a hundred and forty four thousand having his father's name
written in their foreheads now let me ask you where is the lamb during this
time heaven so the hundred forty four thousand are where heaven so as they're
not like in Jerusalem in some cave somewhere and they just pop out it's
time guys the time has come for all Israel shopping to be saved it doesn't
work that way they're in heaven and look we're not gonna get into it but you look
at the the characteristics of these Israelites there were virgins there are
men who had no guile you won't find that today whether Jew or Gentile okay but if
you're to if you were to cross the span of all the years and decades and
hundreds of years that have passed by you will find 144,000 virgin men with no
guile and we don't know how God specifically how it happened but look we
can definitely say within the last 2,000 years for that 5,000 years you will
definitely find 144,000 Jews who are men or Israelites there were men as well or
there were virgins excuse me they had no guile in their mouths and who knows
these men for some reason God chose them to say you know I'm gonna you they
obviously neglected or they they they didn't know they didn't experience a lot
of the pleasures of this life for a reason but guess what they're gonna get
theirs when in the end times I mean God's gonna honor them God's gonna
uplift them during this time that's who the 144,000 are and they start off in
heaven so they're not in Jerusalem for they're in heaven and then in
Revelation chapter 7 we see that they're here okay where'd you have you turn are
you in revelations chapter number so they believe that the times of the
Gentiles start in 606 BC and will end in the Rapture in chapter number four and
look a lot some post-trip pre-wrath people actually believe the same thing
believe it or not they believe that the word they say how were you in the times
of the Gentiles right I was like no this is not the times of the Gentiles okay
and they'll say well you know I thought the times of the Gentiles was now up
until the rapture and then you know it's it's what takes place after that no the
times of the Gentiles begins actually around the time of the abomination of
desolation and according to the Bible it actually lasts for three and a half
years so you got a problem there because if they say the times of the Gentiles
are from 606 BC up until the rapture that's not three and a half years when
the Bible clearly teaches that there that that Jerusalem shall be trodden
underfoot of the Gentiles for 40 and two months that's three and a half years but
it does make sense according to revolution Romans 11 26 if if all Israel
shall be saved when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled three and a half
years before that yeah that makes a lot of sense okay I hope that didn't go over
your head if you look at revelations 19 you will find no account of the so-called
Jews getting saved by looking on him and here's the thing they'll go to some
verse in Zechariah okay they shall look at him on whom they have pierced there
it is it's the salvation of the Jews we've been we've been we've been trying
to corrupt some sort of scripture in here to try to fit that it does that
won't fit that already happened go to Romans chapter 11 go back to Romans
chapter 11 so the chronology is very much important okay you got chapters 1
through 3 talking about revelations chapters 1 through 3 in the first
century AD and same thing with chapter 12 okay it goes back to the birth of
Christ and it gives some it shed some light on that chapters 4 and 5 is John
the narrator explaining his experience as he goes to heaven to be shown these
things chapter 6 is the seals that's where we see the tribulation okay
chapter 7 is the grit when the great multitude appears in heaven which is
which is the safe people and I think it's kind of neat sometimes when I read
that I'm like man I'm in there like in Revelation chapter 7 I'm like when John
John saw me with his own eyes you know he saw us with his own eyes because he
saw a great multitude which no man can number we're there okay and that's the
rapture chapters 8 all the way up to 11 is recording the wrath of God and then
chapters 12 all the way through 16 repeats the story again so I keep
repeating this because we need to know these things all right thereafter we
have of course Armageddon where God comes with and destroys the the the
armies and then the millennial reign is set up the white throne judgment the new
heaven and the new earth right so keep that in mind but always remember they
all these events that we're talking about right now is from chapters 1 all
the way to chapter 16 and then 1 through 11 is one section 12 through 16 is the
second section so we need to understand that that the chronology of the book of
Revelation the components of the rapture it's not a secret he's gonna come with
clouds the Sun and Moon are gonna be darkened the abomination of desolation
has to be set up first 75 days after that is when the rapture takes place
then we have to understand the contradiction of imminence okay we got
to understand that imminence doesn't exist in the Bible all right the Christ
can come in at any moment the confusion over Jacob's troubled that's just the
verse that they just took out of context it doesn't mean that there's the Israel's
gonna go through seven years of tribulation and here's the thing this
is how you can know it doesn't mean that it's they're gonna go to tribulation for
seven years or that the tribulation is seven years because there's a time
during one of the seals in chapter 6 where we're being martyred right and
what does it say he says how long will Lord you know so and I'm paraphrasing
here go to write revelations chapter 6 we're gonna look at it I don't want to
paraphrase I want to just read it revelations chapter number six we'll
start in verse number 8 Bible reads here and I looked and beheld a pale horse and
his name that sat on him was death and hell followed with him and power was
given unto him over the fourth part of the earth to kill with sword and with
hunger and with death and with the beasts of the earth and when he had
opened the fifth seal I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain
for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held and they cried
with a loud voice saying how long Oh Lord holy and true the stout not what
judge and what avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth so we see here
that God has not poured out his wrath yet because if they're saying how long
to you avenge us and pour your wrath on them that goes to show that the first
the first couple of seals that we see there up until the fifth seal is not the
wrath of God because they're saying how long till you do that and of course
that's when the seventh seal comes the sixth and the seventh seal that opens it
all up now here's the thing if the if all of it it's tribulation then you got
a problem because these obviously these Saints are wrong then right cuz they're
saying how long he why didn't he tell them what are you talking about I'm
already doing it do you see the first seal that was me
no that wasn't him that's the Antichrist okay so we need to understand the
confusion over Jacob's trouble and then lastly the corruption of Romans 11 25
to 26 go back there this is what we want this is what I want to talk about here
Romans chapter 11 and verse number 25 let me turn there as well and I'm
telling you I've had more people swing this stick at me than I can then I can
think about Romans 11 26 Romans 11 26 let's read it again verse 25 says for I
would not brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery lest you should
be wise in your own conceits and often the other side will say see you guys are
just trying to be wise in your own conceit you're by proud people that
blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be
committed so all Israel shall be saved that is as it is written there shall
come out of Zion of the deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob
so in order to know when Israel shall be saved we need to know what that what the
times of the Gentiles are right go to Daniel chapter number eight and hold
your place there in Roman chapter 11 and we mentioned before but the times of the
Gentiles is not the church age okay there's no such thing as the church age
you know you have the church in the wilderness in the Old Testament and
Ephesians chapter 3 it says glory and be in the church throughout all ages right
Daniel chapter 8 verse number 11 says yea he magnified himself even to the prince
of the host and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away and the place
of a sanctuary was cast down and an host was given him against the daily
sacrifice by reason of transgression and it cast down the truth through the
ground and it practiced and prospered then I heard one Saint speaking and
another Saint said unto the certain Saint which spake how long shall be the
vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression of desolation to
give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden underfoot and he said unto
me unto two thousand and three hundred days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed
so we see two things taking place during this time we see the transgression of
desolation or we would refer to as in the New Testament the abomination of
desolation and also the trotting of the sanctuary underfoot in Daniel chapter 8
you guys get that we see that right they happened almost simultaneously go to
Luke chapter 21 Luke chapter number 21 in verse number 20 the Bible reads here
and when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies then know that the
desolation thereof is nigh why because the Antichrist is about to make
Jerusalem desolate then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains let
them which are in the midst of the of it depart out and let not them that are in
the countries they're into excuse me enter it they're into for these be the
days of what vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled so
who is this vengeance on the Jews these be the days of vengeance you say man I
think that it's a stretch by saying that keep reading but won't to them that are
with child and to them that give suck in those days for there shall be great
distress in the land and wrath upon this people and they shall fall by the edge
of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations and Jerusalem
shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the time until the excuse me until
the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled then there shall be signs in the Sun and
in the moon and in the stars and upon the earth the distress of nations with
perplexity the sea and the waves roaring so we see what upon them is coming this
vengeance then it says there's gonna be signs of the moons and the stars why
because the Sun and moon are gonna be darkened right and then soon thereafter
is the rapture we're gonna see that just a minute men's hearts failing in verse
26 for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth for
the powers of heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see the Son of Man
coming in clouds with power and great glory and when these things begin to
come to pass then look up and lift up what your heads for your redemption
draweth not so the vengeance is on them redemption is for us so we see here the
abomination of desolation is being set up and what does he talk about he talks
about Jerusalem being trotted down under the foot of the Gentiles until the
Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled which is three and a half
years afterwards go to revelations chapter number 11 revelation chapter
number 11 how do you know it's three and a half years revelations chapter 11 so
we see desolation Jerusalem is trodden and then we see the rapture revelations
chapter 11 verse number 1 the Bible reads here and there was given me a read
like unto a rod and the angel stood saying rise and measure the temple of
God in the altar and then that worship therein but the court which is without
the temple leave out and measure it not for it is given unto the Gentiles and
the holy city shall they tread underfoot forty and two months not like thousands
of years forty and two months is when they tread it so what happens after that
42 months is Armageddon right you see you're repeating yourself I'm doing it
for a reason go to Roman go back to Romans chapter 11 Romans chapter 11 so
when does that take place because if we have the abomination of desolation taken
place right if we had the the the Gentiles trotting Jerusalem underfoot
forty and two months well forty two months three and a half years then you
have the millennial reign well according to Romans chapter 11 verse 26 all Israel
shall be saved front of scientists shall come forth they deliver and shall turn
away on godliness from Israel well if you look if you study where that by the
way anytime the Bible says as it is written what does that tell us we need
to go back to the Old Testament right so don't quote all Israel shall be saved
and then leave the rest out because that's giving you a hint when that's
actually taking place so when it says out of Zion this shall come forth to
deliver all Israel shall be saved as it is written the deliverer shall come
forth out of Zion and ungodly shall be turned away from Jacob that's referring
to two areas in Jeremiah Jeremiah chapter 23 and Jeremiah chapter 33 and
in Jeremiah Jeremiah chapter 33 and 23 it says this Judah shall be saved and by
the way pre-triples will use they're like there you go Judah shall be saved
but let's go let's go there Jeremiah chapter 33 I'm sorry 23 first we'll go
to 23 first Jeremiah chapter 23 in verse number 5 the Bible reads here in
Jeremiah chapter 23 in verse number 5 behold the days come saith the Lord that
I will raise unto David a righteous branch who's that branch talking about
Jesus capital B right and a king shall reign and prosper and shall execute
judgment and justice in the earth when is he gonna do that in the millennial
reign because the Bible says in Revelation that he's gonna rule with the
rod of iron right the Levitical law is gonna come back we're gonna execute the
laws and justices of the Lord and it says here the days will come when he
will do that and look what it says in verse 6 in his days in the millennial
reign Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is his name
whereby he shall be called the Lord our righteousness and by the way it says
Judah shall be saved and they shall dwell in what safety why is that because
right now they're not dwelling in safety there's a bunch of unsaved Israelites
over there go to chapter 33 chapter 33 and verse 15 in those days and at that
time will I cause the branch of righteousness to grow up unto David and
he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land in those days
shall Judah be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell safely and this is the name
wherewith he shall be called the Lord our righteousness for thus saith the
Lord David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of day of
Israel so we see here what is he talking about he's talking about the millennial
reign and here's the thing preachers will say yeah that's that's what that's
what that's what we're talking about brother Bruce they're gonna be saved
they're gonna be justified God's not done with Israel no God is done with
them now let me ask you this it's got done with the what the saved Israelites
of the Old Testament who have passed on no no because God is not a God of the
dead he's the God of the living right but once they became once they got saved
yes they were of Israel like like Paul said that he was at the tribe of what
Benjamin but he was a saved a Benjamin there's a huge difference okay if you
don't believe me look at the Benjamin's in Judges chapter 19 a bunch of sons of
bill you now go back to revelate to Romans chapter 11 we're gonna keep going
back here we're gonna we're gonna so hold your place there in Jeremiah we're
gonna go back and forth Romans chapter 11 so look what the Bible says here in
verse 26 until the fullness of the Gentiles we come in and so all Israel
shall be saved now look at verse 25 where it says this that blindness in
part is happening to Israel so according to the Bible he's saying this no and
this is what they they say you know the scales will be removed from their eyes
and revelations chapter 19 look at verse number let's see here verse number six
and if by grace and it is no more of works otherwise grace is no more grace
but if it be of works and there's no more grace otherwise work is no more
work what then and here's the thing verse 7 is one of my favorite verses
because it makes it a distinction between two people it says Israel have
not obtained that which he seeketh for but the election hath obtained it so
who's the election the safe people and if you read the entire chapter even at
the end of Romans chapter 10 it makes a distinction between saved Israel and the
unsaved people you know the even David said I pray that those people never get
saved I mean that's rough right but look what it goes on to say and the rest were
what blinded so blindness in part is happening to Israel why because part of
them are blind part of them are still not saved in fact Jesus told the
Pharisees what because you think you see you're still blind right does that make
sense now look what it goes on to say go back to chapter verse 25 for I would not
brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery lest you should be wise in
your own conceits that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness
of the Gentiles be come in and so all Israel shall be saved now here's the
thing in the millennial reign it's only going to be saved Israelites right and
here's the thing even today in Romans chapter 9 the Bible says not all who are
of Israel are of Israel so that goes to show us that there are saved and
unsaved Israelites in Israel but not all of them who are in Israel really are of
Israel because God only recognizes saved Israel by the way saved Israel is right
here amen I know my parents were born in Guatemala but hey my citizenship is
in heaven I am a I am an Israelite indeed amen saved Romans 9 6 says not as
though the Word of God has taken an effect for they are not all Israel which
are of Israel neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all
children but in Isaac shall thy seed be called that is they which are the
children of the flesh these are not the children of God but the children of the
promise are counted for the seed so explains to us they're not all of Israel
okay she said we know these things okay I know you know these things but it's
not grievous for me to tell you these things over and over again okay and
we're setting something up right here go to Jeremiah chapter number six when
you're gonna get to all this we're being saved when you're gonna get to that I'm
gonna get to in the next 30 minutes just kidding
Jeremiah chapter 6 Jeremiah chapter 6 in verse number 29 is a verse that we use
to define what a reprobate is right reprobate civil shaman call them for the
Lord has rejected them and we simply know the definition of reprobate means
to be rejected okay but that's what we use but often this is actually a very
good passage to use to prove replacement theology okay and I'm explaining to you
why look at verse 28 they're all grievous revolters walking with
slanders they are brass and iron they're all corruptors the bellows are burned
the lead is consumed of the fire the founder melteth in vain why for the
wicked are not plucked away and then it says reprobate silver shall man call
them for the Lord has rejected them so it's saying here that Israelites during
this time God rejected them they became a reprobate silver because in obviously
in Deuteronomy and Exodus says they were a peculiar treasure they were like
silver right well they became reprobate silver rejected silver why because the
wicked were not plucked away that means there were ungodly people within Israel
they're not plucked away he said what does that have to do with the presidency
in China look in Proverbs it says this pay attention take away the dross from
the silver and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer then it says this
in the next verse take away the wicked from before the king and there shall his
kingdom kingdom shall be established in righteousness take away the wicked from
before the king and his kingdom shall be established in righteousness when is
Christ's kingdom gonna be established in righteousness in the millennial reign
well what has to happen in order for that to take place the wicked need to be
plucked out the dross needs to be removed by the way that happens in
Armageddon the days of vengeance he kills them all off the wicked are plucked
away and so all Israel shall be saved now go back to Romans 11 Romans chapter
does that make sense I mean it's very clear isn't it so he's saying that the
unsaved Israelites are like dross and they need to be plucked away well
unfortunately in Jeremiah chapter number six they were not plucked away they were
not taken out of the land and that's why the Bible says that they became
reprobate silver shall men call him because the Lord has rejected them why
because the wicked were not plucked away well guess what in Revelation chapter 19
Christ is gonna come the days of vengeance are gonna be there and he's
gonna wipe out unbelieving Israel these be the days of vengeance they shall
fall by the sword the Bible says they're gonna die God's gonna God's
gonna kill them and the dross will be removed that's why his kingdom can be
established in righteousness why because the wicked are removed from before the
king Romans 11 Romans chapter 11 I hope that makes sense
Romans chapter 11 so verse 26 and again this doesn't mean justification because
here's the thing we often you know people would use you know they that
endurance the end the same shall be saved right and say yes he you got to
endure to him and these stupid Calvinist you know you got to make sure you
persevere and all these things cuz they didn't do it to the end the same shall
be saved we know that's not what it means that means their flesh physically
they're gonna be saved but there's more than one way to being saved right I'm
not talking about to go to heaven I'm talking about the word saved means
different things like for instance you have the way to prove that passage is
this in Acts chapter number two it says you know the Sun and Moon shall be
darkened and it says for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved right well that's a quote from Joel where the Bible says the whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered does that make sense
so delivered and saved mean the same thing but it's talking about your
physical body why because when the Sun and Moon are darkened the rapture takes
place and if we that are which are alive and remain shall be caught up with them
in the air our flesh will be saved does that make sense well here in Romans
chapter 11 verse number 26 it's the same thing now this is the way I I've been
thinking about what's the best way to explain what this means that all Israel
shall be saved obviously we know the wicked are plucked away if I were to
tell brother Philip brother Philip I'm gonna be late to the party and camera
be like an hour late but I need you to save me a seat or you know I know you I
heard you're gonna have five cakes there okay I need you to save me all five and
I get there and you tell me yeah I wasn't able to save all five but there's
one that I was able to save right when I say save me a seat or save me a cake
what's another word for that something tell me reserve reserve me that cake now
what if I get there right and and he wasn't able to reserve anything I mean
he was able to reserve him like maybe one he goes man I'm sorry but I was only
able to reserve one but hey look one of my daughters is gonna have a good
birthday next week and don't worry I'm gonna reserve all of them for you in
that day all the cakes will be reserved okay keep that in mind does that make
sense to reserve and say mean like basically the same thing right there
right now look at verse number four of Romans chapter number 11 excuse me let's
start on verse number one I say then hath God cast away his people God
forbid for I am also an Israeli of the seed of Abraham of the tribe of Benjamin
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew why you not with the
scripture saith of Elias how he maketh intercessions to God against Israel
saying Lord they have killed our prophets and dig down thine altars and I
am left alone and they seek my life verse 4 but what saith the answer of God
unto him I have what reserved to myself seven thousand men who have not bowed
the knee to the image of Bell even so then at this present time also there's a
remnant according to the election of grace so what is he saying in Elijah's
day seven thousand were reserved right well guess what in Revelation chapter
19 all Israel shall be reserved all Israel will be there because throughout
the ages obviously there's been unbelieving Israelites everywhere and
there's only in the Bible tells us there's constantly gonna be a remnant
there was always going to be a remnant well the Bible tells us that in the end
times when the millennial reign is set up all Israel shall be reserved not just
seven thousand not just a few not just ten not just twenty not even just a
hundred and forty four thousand wherever they came from no all of them shall be
reserved not saved justified God says I'm gonna reserve these now it's all
Israel why because the wicked have been plucked away does that make sense this
is not a new teaching it's not a new doctrine but the thing is so much false
doctrine has been taught from this verse we just need to go to it and see what
the Bible really has to say about it all Israel shall be reserved they shall
be saved why is that because the wicked are plucked away from before the king
that's what the Bible is teaching there so next time a preacher comes to you and
says hey all Israel shall be saved you just tell them have you read verses 4
through 5 have you read verses 9 verse 9 have you read Revelation
excuse me Jeremiah chapter number 6 have you read the principle of plucking away
the wicked before the righteous so the kingdom can be established in
righteousness no Israel is not going to be saved no these unbelieving Christ
rejecting Israelites and Jews are not gonna be saved and people are not saved
differently throughout all ages we don't believe in this dispensational crap okay
that says well we were in the gospel of grace I we've been in the gospel of
grace it's been that way since the Old Testament you know and here's the thing
well the problem with a lot of pastors nowadays is they're not getting anything
fresh from God anymore and the reason why is because they're going to these
commentaries to learn these deep truths because they were there's man and and
Isaac shall thy seed be called we brethren as Isaac are our other children
a problem we gotta do something about that let me go to this unsaved
commentator see what he has to say about it okay so what happens they get these
commentaries from these unsafe people and they begin to learn a lot of false
doctrine and now it's not like we're not we don't have to read in context with
text we just need to read just a little bit of the text in order to get it to
say what we wanted to say all Israel shall be saved what about the last part
all Israel shall be saved what about until the times of the Gentiles be
fulfilled all Israel shall be saved what about when God says I've reserved to
myself seven thousand prophets who have not bowed the knee to Baal you're
leaving some things out here okay and it's falling apart the doctrine is
falling apart in regards to this why because simply they're not reading in
context look don't worry when you when you face someone who believes is false
doctrine just explain look save means reserved oh no you're reading too much
into it it says it right there in verse 4 that he's reserved to himself seven
thousand prophets are not about to need the bail according to the election of
grace yeah but the elect of the Jews don't even give me that the elect of the
Jews okay so what's the sermon this morning yeah all Israel shall be saved
absolutely they will be reserved and then no in in in the Old Testament only
seven thousand throughout the ages there's always been a remnant right a
righteous remnant a saved remnant but at the end of days all of them shall be
reserved all of them will be there
