Just a few announcements here before we sing our next song which would be
415 victory through grace
415 if you did not get a bulletin go ahead and raise your hand one of the ushers can get one for you
some important information on there.
Of course, we welcome you to come back
to our Sunday evening service tonight at 5 p.m.
and we are still going through our family nights
and so we have something special for tonight.
I'll get into that in just a bit.
We are a family integrated church
and so infants and children
stay with their parents in the service
for your convenience.
There is a mother baby room located.
There are mother baby rooms located
throughout the building.
If you want to know the location of those,
just talk to one of our ushers
and they will lead you to one of those rooms.
and changing tables, speakers and screens are available there as well so you can still tune
into the preaching. You see the so many times and teams, the list of expecting mothers if you
can keep them in prayer, and then you have the stats there for salvation and baptisms
for the month of May. On the right hand side, excuse me, we have the upcoming church events,
as I mentioned, tonight we're continuing with our family nights and so tonight is the jumpers
And so just want to give you a little bit of instruction in that regard, uh, the...
the company is going to come drop off the jumpers. They're going to come around one. So if you can do
us a favor and not park from where my office is right here to where the new unit is, we want to
keep this entire place clear for the jumpers. And so I'm sure you guys remember what that was like
from last year. So just keep that in mind. Please make sure you don't park there. And there's plenty
of other parking in the parking lot here or on the street. And so that's that will be for tonight.
You have the address there, sign up at the guest center if you want to bring something or if you have any questions you can talk to brother Ulysses Hernandez.
It's typically pretty casual so, you know, everyone shows up around 10.30, 11 o'clock and kind of leave at whatever time you want.
There's not real set time, it's just between those hours there or so, so we're looking
forward to seeing everyone at the 4th of July picnic, and then we have a board game Sunday.
Next Sunday night as well, we are going to have some snacks there for everyone who comes,
and I believe, I'm just going to say it right now, brother Marcos, right?
Next Sunday, did you say next Sunday?
Next Sunday, he's going to be, he's the barista, and so he's going to be making some
Coffee for us. And so that'll be next Sunday night. That way everyone stays awake during the preaching
And then we have the watermelon Sunday coming up on Saturday, July 13th after the PM service
And so we're looking forward to that as well
I do have some good news and I have some bad news. It's always very uncomfortable for a pastor to do, but it's regarding the youth comp

Grown in their scepters, all shall perish,
Crown in their splendor shall fall,
Yet shall the armies now lead us,
Faithful and true to the last,
Blind in thy pensions eternal,
Rest when the war fails.
the strong is the battle not to the swift is the race get to the true and the faithful victory is
promised through grace amen great singing as you guys just come forward for the offering please
we're in Titus chapter number one. Titus chapter one the Bible reads, Paul a servant of God and
an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's elect and the acknowledging of the truth
which is after godliness in hope of eternal life which God they cannot lie promised before the
world began but at the end do times manifested his word through preaching which is committed
To Titus, my known son after the common faith, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
For this cause left I the decree, that thou shalt set in order the things that are wanting
and ordain elders in every city as I had appointed thee.
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot
or unruly.
For a bishop must be blameless as the steward of God, not self-willed, not soon angry, not
given a wine, no striker, not given a filthy looker, but a lover of hospitality, a lover
of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate, holding fast the faithful word has yet been
taught.
They may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers."
But there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision,
whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought
not for filthy lucre's sake.
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars,
evil beasts, slow bellies.
This witness is true, wherefore rebuke them sharply that they may be sound in the faith,
not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men that turn from the truth.
Under the pure all things are pure but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure
But even their mind and conscience is defiled they profess that they know God but in works
They deny him being abominable and disobedient and at every good work rep rebate
Let's pray to your Lord God. Thank you again for everything you bless us with
Just ask that you would feel past from hearing out with your Holy Spirit as it preaches your word unto us and in Jesus name you pray
Amen
Amen.
Okay, we're in Titus chapter 1 this morning, and the title of my sermon this morning is
Jewish Fables About Israel, Jewish Fables About Israel.
Of course, with everything going on in the news and politics and all the war that's going
on this particular topic and it's because of the fact that dispensationalism has infiltrated
churches.
It has taught people the wrong doctrines regarding the Jews and Israel.
And so I want to dispel some of those fables this morning.
Titus chapter 1 verse 12 says, one of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians
are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
This witness is true,
wherefore rebuke them sharply
that they may be sound in the faith,
not giving heed to Jewish fables
and commandments of men that turn from the truth.
They make no mistake about it.
Christianity is filled with Jewish fables,
meaning just outright lies that pastors and preachers
and churches are constantly propagating
regarding the nation of Israel and I'm going to give you four major fables that are promoted
by dispensationalists, that are promoted by Zionists, that are promoted by Christians
regarding the Jews and Israel.
And of course one of the reasons that people do this
It's because of the fact that they're essentially promoting the political ideologies of Zionism.
Oh, the reason that Israel is justified in bombing Iran and just kind of misbehaving and doing all these wicked things and atrocities.
Oh, they're God's chosen people.
You know, no one should mess with them because they're God's chosen people.
Oh, you know, yeah, they murdered thousands of people, innocent individuals.
It's okay because they're God's chosen people.
And people just turn a blind eye.
to all these, you know, criminal acts and wicked things that they're doing
in light of the fact that they believe that their gods
select their gods, they like their gods chosen people. But this is a fable.
It's not true. And we need
to completely destroy Zionism within churches
and not allow it to get a foothold in churches.
And at the end of the day, it's really based upon, are you a Bible-believing
Christian or not?
Because why? Because you know, if the Bible is our final authority, we don't need Fox News to tell us that the Jews are God's chosen people.
We don't need Ted Cruz to misquote Genesis chapter 12 and say my Sunday school teacher told me that those who bless Israel will be blessed when that's not even a verse to the Bible.
We don't need anybody to mold our minds and give us the biblical perspective regarding Israel because we have the Bible.
And you know, at the end of the day, we need to prove all things, hold fast that which is good,
and who cares what the majority of mainstream Christians believe about a subject?
What does the Bible say about it?
And you know what, if as the remnant, we believe contrary to them, it doesn't matter, we're right, they're wrong,
because we have the Bible to back it up.
And look, folks, I have experience with talking to people who are Zionists
and those who believe the Jews are God's chosen people.
And let me just say this. Every single time I bring up these verses,
it's just they have no answer whatsoever.
They just can't answer it.
Why? Because the Bible says you can do nothing against the truth,
but for the truth.
You can't really fight against the truth when it's being presented to you.
And at the end of the day, most of the time, when I present these verses to Zionists and those who've been influenced by dispensationalism,
more often than not, they'll concede and say, okay, yeah, that is what the Bible says.
But all Israel shall be saved, brother, because there's still God's chosen people.
It's just like, did everything just go in one ear out the other?
Like, listen to what's being stated here.
But it shows you that Zionism and dispensationalism has a stronghold on Christianity today.
And we need to make sure that as God's people,
that as God's chosen people, amen,
that we destroy these fallacies.
Now, obviously our church in general,
is anti-Zionist. When I say in general, I mean that, you know, most people in here hold the biblical view and the biblical position regarding Israel.
But of course, we're going to have new people come to our church, and so it's always good to talk about this.
And it's always good to reinforce it in the minds of those who already have the right position, so that when someone comes to you and says,
to these things and how to essentially destroy their arguments.
So let's talk about these four Jewish fables about Israel.
We're going to dispel these today.
And let's start off with the very, the first one,
which is the most obvious fable that we've all heard.
And I've already mentioned it.
And that is the Jews are God's chosen people.
That's the number one fable that's being promoted today.
And that is that the Jews
are God's chosen people.
Now let me start off by saying this regarding the term chosen.
What does it mean to be chosen?
It means to be elected, right?
Selected for a specific task.
And often, you know, when you talk to people
about the chosen people of God,
when you talk about the Jews being God's chosen people,
ask them this, chosen for what?
Chosen to bomb other nations?
Chosen to just exercise superiority over everyone else chosen to just be better than every nation
What are they chosen for and I'm gonna tell you right now?
They can't answer the question because they've never asked themselves that same question
It's just that you know when you tell a lie loud enough and long enough the people will believe it
They're just simply parroting what other pastors say, but they can't really give you a clear concise answer as to why is it that?
They're God's chosen people now. Let me start up by saying that the Jews were God's chosen people in the Old Testament
Meaning that the physical nation of Israel made up of not just Jews, but all the 12 tribes,
which by the way, that's another Jewish fable,
and that is that Israel is made up of 12 tribes, right, of the Old Testament.
Jews didn't start off in the book of Genesis, okay?
I know that's an astounding thought to think about, but you know, Jews wasn't mentioned until 2 Kings 16.
when resin king of Syria was driving out the Jews from Elath and the reason he classified them as being Jews is because of the fact that
They're of the southern kingdom of Judah
So you know after the split of the United Kingdom you have ten tribes going to the north two tribes going to the south those two tribes
Were collectively made up of those of Judah and Benjamin
Okay, and after a while they're just collectively referred to as Jews because of the fact that they're of Judah now by the time
We get into the New Testament
That term or that classification of being a Jew based upon their ethnicity evolved into the religion of the Jews
So therefore you have the classification of being an ethnic Jew, but now you just have Jews who are who called themselves Jews
Only because of the fact that they are adherents to Judaism
Which is why you have Jews all around, you know, these Greek countries in the New Testament, right?
You have them in Corinth, you have them in Greece, you have them in Asia Minor, even though
they're not ethnically Jewish, they're proselytes of the Jews. Therefore, they refer to themselves as Jews, not because they're ethnically Jewish,
but because they're religiously Jewish.
But by the time we get to the New Testament, Jesus Christ dies on the cross. That's not even a thing anymore.
Which is why Jesus specifically says they would which say they are Jews and are not but are of the synagogue of Satan
Because at that point you have Jews who essentially adhere to the religion of Judaism and are spearheading the crucifixion of Jesus Christ
They're in direct opposition to Christianity, which is why Jesus Christ refers to them as a gathering a synagogue of Satan
And the New Testament tells us clearly in Romans chapter 2, 28 to 29,
for he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly.
What is that referring to? The ethnic Jew, which is made outward in the flesh.
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart,
and of the spirit, and not of the letter, whose praise is not a man but of God.
Now notice that he's writing to the what? Romans, right?
These are not ethnically people who are ethnically Jewish nor are they proselytes of Jews?
And so he's specifically telling them in God's eyes
The true Jews are those who are circumcised in heart, which is another way of saying that they're saved
They believed on the Lord Jesus Christ now they're Jews. And so now we're here in 2025
There is no legitimate Jews in God's eyes today. Just those who are in opposition to Jesus Christ
opposition to Christianity
And you know Romans 2.28-29 should be enough.
Revelation 2.9 and Revelation 3.9 should be sufficient.
The Lord hath spoken.
Once Jesus Christ dropped that line from Revelation 2.9,
it's just like, case closed.
Once he repeated it in Revelation 3.9, it's just like,
say no more, say less.
We get it, but yet you have Christians today that say yeah, but still they're God's how can they be God's chosen people if
Jesus Christ refers to them as being the synagogue of Satan
That's a contradiction
Okay, but this is not to take away from the fact that they were God's chosen people, okay?
And no one is saying that they weren't. They were indeed God's chosen people in the Old Testament.
They were a nation who had that privilege of being identified, classified as being His chosen people.
Now, chosen for what? Well, first and foremost, they were the nation from which Christ would come from, right?
So God selected the nation of Israel so that the word of God could be made flesh and dwell among them and specifically he chose the tribe of what?
Judah. Okay. Now again, let's just do a little history real quick regarding the nation of Israel
so that we understand what we're talking about. When we talk about Israel if you really want to get to the knitting and gritty of Israel
The Israelites of that northern kingdom are 10 tribes.
They make up the vast majority of Israel, okay?
10 tribes went to the north,
two tribes went to the south,
and those 10 tribes ended up going into
what's known as the Assyrian captivity
approximately around 722 BC.
The Assyrians came, took them over,
and why?
Cause they're wicked, cause they're evil.
And God's like, you guys don't worship me.
You worship false gods.
And so I'm going to fulfill the promises that I made
in Deuteronomy chapter four and allow you
to go into captivity.
Now Judah, the southern kingdom also went into captivity
by the hand of who?
The Babylonians.
Now what's the difference between the Babylonian captivity
and the Assyrian captivity?
Here's the major difference.
God told those of Judah,
you guys are going to come back after 70 years.
Why? Because after 70 years a new generation would arise that would worship the Lord and in general that southern kingdom of Judah did worship God
They believed in the God of the Bible. They believed in the covenant
There was a remnant there that actually worshiped God, right?
Whereas the northern kingdom is just like nobody there and just all pagans
Okay, they call themselves Israelites, but they're worshiping false gods. They're worshiping rem fan. They're worshiping Molok
That's not Jesus. That's not the Lord. That's not Jehovah. Okay?
So, he allows the Southern Kingdom to go into captivity, they come back after 70 years.
Israel, the Northern Kingdom, goes into captivity in 1722 by the Assyrians, they don't come back.
So, remember that, they never come back and this is historically accurate.
This is why history refers to the 10 tribes as well, the 10 lost tribes.
Because when they were taken into captivity, what happened?
They ended up losing their records of their tribes,
and they were just kind of scattered into the nations,
never to be recovered again.
And by the time we get to the time of Christ,
those 10 tribes that were lost and intermingled
with the heathen are simply referred to as the Samaritans.
And everyone during the time of Christ
is referred to as Jews because they're all part of Judea,
Judah, right?
And look, there are some people from the 10 tribes
that came back to the South, excuse me.
You know, there were some,
but in general they're just collectively referred to
as Jews regardless of they're of Levi, Benjamin or Judah.
Does that make sense?
And so to say like, oh, Israel's God's chosen nation,
well, let's get accurate here.
Israel doesn't even exist
if you really want to like be specific about it.
They were scattered. They don't exist. So the red-haired people over there in Israel those Caucasians
They're not what the Old Testament Israelites were. Okay
And so that's important to know.
But Jesus Christ, though, came from Judah, though, okay?
Now, let me read to you from Isaiah 11 verse 1 and 2.
It says,
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
and a branch shall grow out of his roots.
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and a fear of the Lord.
This is referring to, prophetically,
Jesus Christ, who shall come from Jesse,
who is the father of David, right?
And so this is prophetically addressing the fact that Jesus Christ's salvation, the word of God incarnate would come from that tribe known as Judah.
Why was Israel in general selected by God, chosen of God, because he was going to bring forth the Messiah from Judah?
Now, that gives no value to any other tribe.
Let me just tell you that.
Like, you know, the 10 tribes or the 12 tribes, there's nothing special about them just because Jesus Christ came from them.
He said, well, I mean God selected the yeah, he selected them not because there's anything special about them
But just because he selected them okay, and here's the thing folks is that you know if you really want to make the argument
Well, that's what makes them special because that's where Jesus came from. Okay, then why did they crucify him?
You know if you want to make that argument yeah, that's where Jesus came from and we'll say yeah, that's where Jesus was crucified, too
You know, they killed the Lord Jesus Christ and took credit for it
So they were specifically selected in the Old Testament because the prophecies stated that Jesus Christ would come from the
Tribe of Judah now that they were also chosen in the Old Testament to proclaim the word of the Lord
Right their job was to proclaim God's word to be a light unto the Gentiles
The Bible says in Romans chapter 3 verse 1 what advantage then hath the Jew
or what profit is there of the circumcision,
much everywhere, chiefly,
because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
So they were selected by God to pen down the scriptures,
to be inspired by God to write down the scriptures,
and to proclaim the word of the Lord.
And lastly, they were selected, they were chosen,
to bring forth fruit unto God.
Now don't miss this.
That's not important, it's important to Jesus though.
They were specifically selected and chosen to make converts
So that people would believe on the Lord through their efforts and through their light, okay?
Now again, if you study the Bible you would see that they utterly failed in that area
Because of the fact that they ended up evolving into what we would consider today to be rabbinic Judaism
and the progenitors of rabbinic Judaism
is the religion of the Pharisees, okay?
And the Pharisees were staunchly against Jesus Christ,
they persecuted him, they spearheaded the crucifixion,
they persecuted Christians even in the book of Acts, right?
And so this is why Jesus Christ tells them
in Matthew 21, verse 42, that the kingdom of God
shall be taken from you.
Referring to the Jews and given to a nation bringing forth listen to this the fruits thereof
So another way of saying that is this
You're fired
You called in to work way too much or called in sick too much you don't come to work
You don't fulfill your hours. You're not producing and so I'm gonna take your supervisor little you know label there
And I'm gonna give it to someone else who's actually doing the job
That's the normal thing that happens, right?
God fired Israel as being the chosen nation of God
and gave it to another nation that would bring forth the fruits thereof.
Now, the difference is this is that it wasn't a physical nation that he gave it to.
Because we think of the nation of Israel, it was a legitimate physical nation that he gave that title to,
but in the New Testament the nation is just made up of all believers of all various nations, okay?
So you don't have to be a part of the nation of Israel, you don't have to be a part of the house of Levi,
the tribe of Levi or of the house of Aaron to be part of God's chosen people, you just got to be saved according to the Bible, okay?
And, you know, he gives an illustration of this in the Gospels where he comes to a fig tree seeking fruit, right?
And he doesn't find any fruit.
And, you know, someone comes to him and says, hey, let's dung it and let's see if it produces fruit in the next three years.
He comes back, he doesn't find any fruit, and what does he do to the tree?
He curses the tree.
And he says, let no fruit grow on thee from henceforth. Listen to this forever.
He's like, you're done and you know, and so it withers away as Hebrew chapter 8 states of the Old Covenant that it's ready to what?
vanish away
understand
So he gives it to this nation made up of all believers in order for the job to get done and make no mistake about it
Listen to me closely
Believers Christians Gentile converts have done more to spread the gospel than all of Israel throughout history
That's a fact and in fact, that's biblical
Literally the Old Testament prophesied of that, okay?
It literally said that, you know, we're going to strengthen our stakes.
You're going to spread the tents and enlarge the place of light tents.
We're going to break forth on the right hand and on the left.
We're going to reach all types of people.
And here's the thing, this is not saying that we're better than Israel
because there's Israelites who were saved in the Old Testament.
And even during the transitional period between Old and New Testament,
there were saved people.
How about Peter?
How about John?
How about Paul?
There was a ton of saved Jews and Israelites.
And they're the ones who are preaching this, so we're just repeating what they say, okay?
And they didn't call themselves Masianic Jews, by the way.
That's not even a concept in the Bible.
The only Masianic Jew is Jesus, right?
Because he's the Messiah.
So here's this Jewish fable is that the Jews are God's chosen people correction. They were God's chosen people
They were selected for a task. They failed at completing the task
Therefore the job is taken from them and given to someone else. This is what we would commonly refer to as
You know listen replacement theology
Oh, you know, that's so anti-semitic. It just means that they're being replaced. They got fired and they were replaced with someone else
plain and simple
Okay, so let's read a couple of scriptures here just to kind of double down on this.
Go with it if you would to Deuteronomy chapter 7.
Deuteronomy chapter 7, then we're going to go to Exodus chapter 19.
Now while you're turning there, let me just point out some of the most obvious scriptures
that they use in order to make this point here.
You know, they'll often talk about Genesis chapter 12, right?
And Genesis 12 is like their excuse for them being God's chosen people, their excuse for bombing people, their excuse for owning the land,
their excuse for wearing funny hats, it's just like anything that they do is just like Genesis chapter 12.
Genesis chapter 12, okay?
But let me just tell you that Genesis 12 makes no mention of Israel, did you know that?
Regardless of what Ted Cruz and his Sunday school teacher said.
There's no mention of Israel in Genesis chapter 12, and in fact spoiler alert, Israel didn't even exist at this time.
They didn't exist until long after Abraham you have Abraham Isaac and Jacob Jacob became the man Israel
Israel bore 12 sons they became the 12 tribes and
Eventually they became known as the nation and the kingdom of Israel, but during Abraham's time. That was non-existent
So when he's giving him this promise in Genesis chapter 12, you know, this is why it's important for you to use a King James Bible
Because he's saying, I will bless thee,
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Why is it important to have a King James?
Because of the thee.
The thee is singular, meaning that God is specifically
referring to Abraham.
And that is the interpretation we need to take
unless the New Testament sheds more light upon that passage.
So if all we had was Genesis 12 to go for,
to read from, then we would say
the promise is made specifically to Abraham and no one else.
Okay?
But here's the thing, we do have the New Testament.
And the New Testament specifically says in Galatians 3.16,
Now to Abraham in a seed where the promise is made, addressing Genesis 12,
he saith not into seeds as of many, but as of one, and to thy seed the Jews.
And to thy seed Israel, no, to thy seed which is Christ.
Right?
And then verse 29 says, here's the kicker, and if ye be Christ,
then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
Now, who's the Yee? He's referring to the Galatian believers, which are Gentile believers.
So he's saying, you know, the promises pertain to Jesus Christ and anybody who believes on him.
Now, that actually makes more sense if you read Genesis chapter 12. Do you know why?
Because he says, In these shall all families of the earth be blessed.
And what nation has blessed the entire world more than anyone else? It's the believing nation.
Through the gospel of Jesus Christ, right Christianity improves every nation every society
Christianity brings salvation, right the knowledge of Jesus Christ to every nation it improves its laws
It improves its morality. It brings salvation. It's what blesses the world not Israel
Israel has been excommunicated from a hundred and nine countries. That's not a fulfillment of Genesis 12
How is that a fulfillment of Genesis 12?
If they've been excommunicated,
they have been literally removed from 109 countries.
I'm gonna tell you why.
It's because of the fact that the fig tree has been cursed.
That's why.
And then being removed from 109 countries
is a fulfillment of Deuteronomy chapter four
where God specifically says,
I'm gonna scatter you among the nations.
And ye shall be left few in number.
That's what he told them.
God threatened Israel multiple times like legitimately threatened them and said if you don't keep my covenant
I'm just gonna scatter you I'm gonna remove you from the land and you will be a curse into all nations
That's what he said
And we see that happening
Okay, and so it's important for us to understand this that
Being God's chosen people doesn't mean you're of a specific ethnic, you know
You have a specific ethnic background or something. Oh, I'm better than everyone else because I'm white
I'm better than everyone else because I'm a Jew. I'm better than everyone else because of my color of skin
No, actually, we're just better off if we're saved. How about that?
Now what I have you turn Deuteronomy 7 look at Deuteronomy 7 verse 6
Addressing the nation of Israel. He says for thou are and holy people unto the Lord thy God
The Lord that God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself
Above all people that are upon the face of the earth
The Lord did not set his love upon you nor choose you because you were more in number than any people
For you were the fewest of all people
But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn into your fathers,
hath the Lord brought you out with the mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.
There you go! See?
They're God's chosen people. He's going to keep that oath.
Pastor, you're proving our point.
See, he's gonna keep that, he's gonna be faithful.
Therefore, there's still God's chosen people.
Verse 10.
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which I command thee this day to do them
wherefore it shall come to pass if ye harken to these judgments and
Keep and do them that the Lord thy God listen to this shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he swear unto thy fathers
Does that sound like an unconditional promise? No
He's saying if you do the judgments if you obey me
If you don't go and worship false gods,
then I'll keep my end of the bargain
and I'll keep my covenant with you.
And if you don't keep the covenant,
then I'm gonna repay you to your face.
Now that's pretty bold right there, right?
He says, verse 10 says,
I'll repay them that hate me to their face to destroy them.
He will not be slacked to him that hated them.
He will repay them to his face.
It doesn't sound unconditional to me.
Sounds like the Lord said here's the deal
Serve me. I'll keep blessing you. You can stay in this beautiful land
And you can just enjoy the fruits of your labor my hand will be for you
But if you turn against me, I'll turn against you. Oh
No, no, no, no, there are always God's chosen people no matter what they do
Not according to the Bible look at chapter 14 if you would I'm sorry go to Exodus 19 Exodus 19
Exodus chapter 19.
Jewish fable, number one, the Jews are God's chosen people in the New Testament.
No, they're not God's chosen people in the New Testament.
They were God's chosen people in the Old Testament.
In the New, there's been a major transition because they have violated that covenant.
Look at Exodus 19, verse 5.
Now, therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed and keep my covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people for all the earth is mine.
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Conditional.
If you keep my commandments, if you keep my covenant,
you can remain the chosen people of God.
That's what he's saying there.
It's pretty evident.
But yet, you know, Zionists want us to turn a blind eye to these passages of scripture
They clearly show us that the covenant that God made with the nation of Israel is
Conditional and in fact no longer exists in the new covenant because we have a new covenant
We have a new testament. We have a new contract
That they have to abide by okay, and so we see that there. Let me read to you from 1st Peter
Chapter 2 verse 5 says he also as lively stones are built up a spiritual house and holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices
Acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. It goes on to say in verse 9
But ye referring to Cappadocia, Bithynia Pontius, Galatia, Gentile believers
But ye are a chosen generation a royal priesthood and a holy nation
a peculiar people that you should show forth the praises of him with called you out of darkness
into his marvelous light. Let me just address something here. There is no two people of God.
That's a dispensation of fable. Oh, there's just two peoples of God. No, where? Where is that?
He told them back in Exodus, you're not going to be my people if you violate my covenant.
And then he tells believers in 1 Peter 2 5, you are my people because you're saved plain and simple.
And so the promise was conditional, they are no longer God's chosen people, they have been replaced.
And you know, people, you know, they take offense to that phrase, you know, the replacement theology.
They're like, well, it's more like we're engrafted in, you know.
We're just grafted into Israel.
And the answer is no, we're not.
We're grafted into the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 11 teaches we're grafted into Israel.
No, it does not say that.
Romans 11 says that we're grafted into the root which is Jesus Christ and
According to Romans 11 Israel is the branch that's actually broken off
Okay, and you know brother Cody made a good point about this on the podcast. He's saying you know a lot a lot of times
What Zionism does is it tries to cause people to worship Israel in place of Jesus Christ.
So all these passages that are actually addressing the Lord Jesus Christ,
Zionism comes, the anti-Christ religion, what does anti mean?
It means to take the place of.
And they try to replace Jesus Christ with Israel.
They're mad at us for teaching replacement theology.
They're teaching replacement theology too.
It's wicked.
Folks, be loyal to the Lord Jesus Christ.
And look, don't be superstitious about this whole thing.
God's not gonna strike you dead if you say
that the Jews are not God's chosen people.
It's not gonna happen.
I've been saying it for years
and God's only blessed me for it.
It's true, because I'm telling the truth.
I'm not joking, people become very superstitious
about this stuff.
I don't know brother, you know, if you say something like that, you know, just I'd be careful
Why would you know, I'm not careful to answer the end this matter
If it's what the Bible says what the Bible says, but you know, it's just superstitious Christians. Oh, I'm just you know
You shouldn't do that man. They're you know, Romans 11
You know, God has not cast away his people
You know, Genesis 12, I just, I'd be careful by doing that.
I'd be careful with mixing up, you know, passages
that address Jesus Christ and putting Israel on that.
And this is what I often do with people
when they talk to me about this particular subject.
You know, cause they'll always quote
all these Old Testament scriptures,
dealing with the covenant, the Jews are God's chosen people.
And then I'll often say, yeah, that's right.
You know, the Bible does say that in the Old Testament.
So what does Jesus say about it?
So, does Jesus talk about the Jews at all?
You say anything about Israel?
You know any verses?
And it's just like the worst question you could ask them.
Cause it's not like Jesus was just silent on the issue.
In fact, he was the most explicit
and dare I say the most disrespectful.
I mean, how about John 844?
Ye are of your father, the devil.
You know and you know Revelation 2 9 that they're the synagogue of Satan
I mean he basically does everything in the book and he's not the only one other prophets do but I always ask him so
So what does Jesus say about them and they're just like no the Bible says no
What is the Bible which is Jesus say about the Jews and they can't answer that or?
Should I say they don't want to answer that?
All right Jewish fable number two so Jewish fable number one
The Jews are God's chosen people.
They were God's chosen people.
They are no longer His chosen people.
We are the chosen people of God,
based upon the words of Jesus Christ
that said that they were replaced, okay?
And let me just say this.
The chosen people of God is collectively made
of Jews and Gentiles.
Because the being grafted in is the fact that
of twain, one new man is made,
according to Ephesians chapter two.
So, once the transition from Old Testament to New Testament was complete, the Old Testament,
Israelites, Jews, Benjamites, whatever, they just became, they retained the chosen people
of God title through their belief in Jesus Christ.
So if they were saved in the Old Testament, someone came to them in the New and said,
you know, the name is Jesus, you have to believe on.
And they're like amen is like alright your grandfather into the New Testament and you still retain the chosen people of God
And this is why the Apostle Paul says God has not cast away his people and he talks about the fact that he's of Israel
He's a Benjamin right and what is he saying? He's saying that God didn't cast him away. Why cuz he's a believer
So he didn't cast him away in spite of the fact that he was of Israel in spite of the fact that he was a Benjamin
Because of the fact of this one little minor detail. That's not minor at all. He's a believer in Jesus Christ therefore
He's grafted in okay pretty simple
all right Jewish fable number two the Jews have an everlasting covenant and
This is why it's important to study the Bible and not just believe everything that you hear right
Because look, you can type in everlasting covenant and you'll find it mentioned multiple
times in the Old Testament.
But people don't really understand how covenants work.
Because what does it mean to have an everlasting covenant?
Everlasting means it just never ends.
There's no finality to the covenant.
But based upon the Bible, that Old Covenant had a final, there was finality to that Covenant.
I mean, the Bible literally says in the New Testament that the Old Testament is ready to vanish away, that it's null and void,
that the law that's it's done away with.
So can you call that Old Covenant, which was used to describe
Israel as being God's chosen people, as an everlasting Covenant if it already finished?
No, when the Bible in the Old Testament talks about the everlasting covenant, it's foretelling, it's talking about, it's prophesying of
the new covenant that's going to come, which is the only covenant that's everlasting, because it has an everlasting mediator known as Jesus Christ.
Okay, now let me read to you a couple of verses here, and in fact, why don't you turn with me if you would to Jeremiah chapter 31.
Go to Jeremiah chapter 31.
I'm going to read to you a couple of verses here. Isaiah 55 verse 3 says,
Incline your ear and come unto me, here in your soul shall live, and I will make
an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. The Bible also
says in Ezekiel 37 verse 26, moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them.
It shall be an everlasting covenant with them and I will place them and multiply them and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore
My tabernacle also shall be with them. Yeah, I will be their God and they shall be my people now. I want you to notice something
Every time he mentions the everlasting covenant, what does he preface it with? I will make one
Right future tense. It's gonna come in the future. I'm going to make one
He's not saying I've already made one with you. He's saying I'm going to make one for you because of the fact that
He's obviously prophesying of the future Testament known as the New Covenant. Look at Jeremiah 31 verse 31. Behold
the days come
meaning that they have not yet come
Say it the Lord that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah and
Here's the kicker
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt
which my covenant they break, although I was a husband unto them, sayeth the Lord.
So it's specifically saying that this new covenant that he's going to make with Israel
is distinctly different from the old covenant that he established with Moses
which essentially prescribed them as being the chosen people of God.
He's literally saying I'm gonna make a new one not according to that old covenant, which by the way you broke
You just kind of throwing that in there, right?
You broke it. I'm gonna make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah
Now this sensation is what try to get you to believe. Well, this is a separate covenant from the new covenant that we have today
There's no three covenants
What are you talking about that doesn't exist and
Let me just explain some to you covenants require a mediator
The mediator of the Old Covenant was considered to be Moses.
The mediator of the New Covenant is Jesus Christ.
So who's the mediator of the Third Covenant?
It's not real.
It's a fable.
This is nonsense.
This is for children.
It's not a real thing.
You need to concede that the new covenant that he's referring to here in Jeremiah 31
Which is still in the Old Covenant is referring to the new Covenant that will be established through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross
Why is he saying this to them? He's telling the house of Judah in the house of Israel. Basically, you guys have just gone too far
I'm having to like take you into captivity. You're sinning against me. You're worshiping false gods
And but don't worry one day in the future. I'm gonna make a new Covenant
What the house of Judah with the house of Israel that includes the Gentiles by the way
he says what the house of Judah with the house of Israel and
You know because you're breaking this covenant and at that point listen to this. He says I will be your God and
Ye shall be my people now the reason I'm not reading this from Hebrews chapter 8
It's because I'm showing you that even in the Old Testament it said this
So as much as they were the chosen people of God in the Old Testament there were instances where God was not their God and
he or they were not his people and
Why because they break the covenant showing us conclusively that in the Old Testament
Even though they're the chosen people of God if they break the covenant God didn't he didn't claim them anymore
He's like you're not my people. I'm not your God
Why because they broke the covenant they broke that contract. There's no everlasting covenant in the Old Testament my friends
And so that's important to know. Okay, let's read on here says in verse 33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days sayeth the Lord
I will put my law into their inward parts and write it in their hearts and will be their God and they shall be my people and
They shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me
From the least of them unto the greatest of them sayeth the Lord for I will forgive their iniquity
And I will remember their sin no more now. Let me ask you this does the current nation of Israel know the Lord
No, they don't
Does the current nation of Israel, you know, are they teaching from the least of them to the greatest of them?
Are they teaching each other about Jesus Christ?
Are they the powerhouse of evangelism of the world? No, so this hasn't taken place
Plain and simple. Okay in their day. It has not taken place. And in fact, it still hasn't taken place today
Because of the fact that Israel over there is a Christ rejected nation
But once you get into the New Testament
You have Jews actually doing this.
You have the disciples.
You have different Jews in Israel
that are preaching the word of God
where this prophecy is being fulfilled.
Now, this brings me into my third fable.
Okay?
Jewish fable number three
regarding Israel is that the land of Israel
belongs to the Jews.
Okay?
This is why they're allowed to just bomb anybody
who potentially might have weapons of mass destruction.
This is why the Palestinians should not live in Israel.
This is why it's okay to just kill them.
It's why it's okay to just kill the children,
you know, oppress the Palestinians,
and you know, whoever's against Israel,
they're allowed to just defend themselves
as much as possible,
because just the land belongs to them, okay?
This is why they returned back in 1948,
because the land belongs to them, okay?
But I'm gonna tell you right now that the land the physical land of Israel in the Middle East does not belong to Israel at all
They are squatters
Yeah, you heard right the Jews are squatters
Why because they're not paying rent
They haven't believed on the Lord
Now go to Hebrews chapter 3 if you wouldn't
Now if you have any inkling of Zionism in you you might you're probably like
You know pray but just hear the word of the Lord this morning
We have gathered today together today to hear the word of the Lord and you know what all of God's people said amen
Okay, that's what the Bible says
And, you know, dispensationalism has taught Christians to think, oh, 1948, fulfillment of Bible prophecy because God promised that land to Abraham, and let me just say this, Abraham, according to Abraham, they didn't even care about the land.
Because in Hebrews chapter 12, he's like, I'm seeking out a better country, a heavenly.
You know he didn't really even care about the land the land was there
Obviously, so a nation could begin that essentially shines forth the statutes of God a functioning
Government to carry out the word of the Lord to be a powerhouse of evangelism to get people saved
You know it's like this you know this building
That we're meeting in church today, but this building is just a building
You know and there's no intricate spiritual value to this particular building
It's what takes place in the building, right?
So if we leave this building and it becomes like a dispensary,
we can't be like, well, no, put off that shoes from off
that feet from the place where I stand.
It's this holy ground.
It just becomes unholy.
And so in Israel, the land of Israel,
there's nothing intrinsically valuable about the land of Israel.
It's become defiled.
And the Bible refers to it as spiritual Sodom in Egypt.
But the commandment still stands that they don't belong there though.
Because God just said that.
He just said, you don't belong there. You're being excommunicated.
You're being thrown out.
Now, this is not something that just took place in the New Testament.
This is something that's foretold even in the Old Testament.
But I'm going to the New Testament because it's very explicit in the New regarding this.
Look at Hebrews 3 verse 16.
For some, when they had heard, did provoke,
albeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
But with whom was he grieved forty 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.
Now, we are all familiar with what he's talking about.
He's referencing the children of Israel in the wilderness going into the promised land
and there was a lot of people that didn't make it in.
He did not allow them to inherit the promised land.
Why?
Because they didn't believe on the Lord.
They stayed in the wilderness.
Their carcasses, as it says there, fell in the wilderness of sin because they did not
And this is a pattern that we see throughout the Old Testament, where if they refuse to believe on God, God's like, you can't be in the Lamb, plain and simple.
Go to Leviticus 26. Leviticus 26. We're going to go back and forth from Old and New Testament. Go to Leviticus 26.
Jewish fable number three, that the land belongs to, the physical land belongs to Israel, that's a Jewish fable, that's not true, it does not belong to them.
Because you know people try to get all radical but oh, yeah, you know, I can't stand but you're you're you're for Muslims or something
Let me just say this. I'm not for Muslims, but I'm for anyone
Occupying Israel other than Israel itself
And like I said before you can have Indians from India living there, I'd be okay with it
You can have move all the Mormons from Utah and have them go live over there. I don't care who lives there
I'm okay with the Palestinians taking it over absolutely under the principle that Israel does not belong there at all
Look at Leviticus 26 verse 27
And if you will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me
Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury and I even I will chastise you seven times for your sins
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons
and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
And I would destroy your high places
and cut down your images and cast your carcasses
upon the carcasses of your idols.
And my soul shall abhor you.
What does abhor?
It means hate you.
You know, Ted Cruz didn't get this
in his Sunday School class lessons.
I mean, God's like, if you are contradicted,
I'm gonna hate you.
That's what he's saying there.
Everyone see that?
Everyone see that, right?
He says, I will, my soul, like the depths of his soul, he's like, I'm going to hate you.
And why is he saying this?
Because he wants the children of Israel to be like, okay, you know, we need to make sure we stay right with God.
Verse 31, And I will make you cities, make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries into desolation.
And I will not smell the Savior of your sweet odors, and I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
And I will scatter you among the heathen and will draw out a sword after you and your land shall be desolate and your city's waste."
So, aside from the fact that he's saying, you're going to get booted out of the land, you're going to die wherever you go.
That's what he's saying.
Because he's like, I'm going to be an enemy unto you.
I'm going to chase you.
Verse 34,
Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths as long as it lies desolate.
And ye be in your enemy's land, even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her Sabbath."
Skip down to verse 40.
So we see there, he's telling them, if you disobey me, I'm going to scatter you.
What does it mean to scatter them?
It means I'm throwing you out of the land, okay?
And of course we can conclude that he's throwing them out because of the fact that they're worshiping at the groves at the altars
They're worshiping false gods
Okay, now verse 40 if they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers
With their trespasses which they have trespassed against me and that also they have walked contrary unto me and that I also
Have walked contrary unto them and I brought them into the land of their enemies if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled
and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity,
then will I remember my covenant with Jacob
and also my covenant with Isaac
and also my covenant with Abraham, will I remember,
and I will remember the land.
So he says this,
if you confess your sins, you get right with God,
you put away your false gods,
then the covenant is on again.
Pretty simple now look folks the God of the New Testament is clearly named as what Jesus Christ?
Right and obviously he's the God of the Old Testament, but his name is revealed in the New Testament as being Jesus
So you can say that the Jews in Israel worship God, but they don't worship God
Who is the liar but he that denied that Jesus is the Christ?
He is anti-Christ that denied the father and the son so they can say they worship God the father
They just don't worship the son, but that's according to the Bible a lie
Because of the fact that according to the Bible Jesus is God
So the standard by which they have to get right with in the New Testament has been raised in that they have to believe on Jesus Christ
they have to not reject Jesus Christ and
And by the way, they have to put away all of their false religion
This is why we don't accept Judeo Christianity in our church
No one's allowed to come in with a shofar
With a little cap skull, whatever
No, no, no prayer shawl and no star of David also known as the star of rem fan
Why because that's paganism entering into God's house
These are symbols and instruments that are in opposition to Christianity
Okay, and no, we don't say shalom to each other.
Speak English, okay?
You know, we say praise God, praise Jesus.
We exalt the Lord Jesus Christ here.
And here's the thing folks, we don't refer,
and look, there's Jews that have gotten saved in our church.
And not a single time will we say like,
oh yeah, he's a Masianic Jew.
He's Masianic.
Can't you see the aura? He's got he's just amazing. It doesn't exist for in Christ Jesus. There is neither June or Gentile
Okay, and so let me ask you this do the Jews in Israel. Have they confessed their iniquity? No
Have they confessed the iniquity of their fathers? No
Have they you know conceded to the fact that they walked contrary to Jesus Christ? No
Have they, you know, humbled themselves and accepted the punishment of their iniquity?
Are you kidding me? Everywhere they go, they say they're victims.
You know, they're like, oh, we've been persecuted in 109 countries, persecuted?
Okay, I agree with you if you're willing to concede that God's the one doing the persecuting.
Because God is the one who's persecuted them.
That's a fact. And you know what? You cannot prove to me otherwise using the Bible. It's not there.
And look, you know, I don't encourage you to go too far down the rabbit hole, but you
could follow Alice a little bit, you know, just go a little, you know, and just research
that.
It's historically accurate that they were removed from 109 countries because of the
predatory landing practices and their blasphemy of Jesus Christ, just plain and simple.
And it is historically recorded that once these nations got rid of them, they actually
The golden era of Spain just looked that up as soon as they were removed just like everyone was happy again
Economically, they prospered. I mean they just became very successful
Because of the fact that you know when you remove the leaven
When you take away the dross from the silver there shall come forth the vessel for the finer
So the Bible tells us take the wicked from before the king and there shall be a vessel unto honor
At the end of the day when they are removed a nation is blessed because of it
Why because according to the Bible the nation of Israel is a nation who hates God
That's a fact and you know what you cannot aid support help people who are haters of God
God and in fact literally the Old Testament. I know I've told the story many times, but it's just worth telling again
You know this whole Israel versus Iran thing
And, you know, they're bombing them because they have weapons of mass destruction, blah, blah, blah.
They're defending themselves, this, that, and the other.
You know, even in the Old Testament, God actually prohibited anybody from helping Israel in their war against anybody else if they were not right with God.
So even in the Old Testament, when there were God's chosen people, God prohibited anybody from helping them.
If they were not right with God
Helping them in their wars against someone else, and we have an example of that
King Jehoshaphat who is the king of the southern kingdom of Judah
Was buddy buddies with who ahab who is the wicked king of the northern kingdom of Israel?
You know, you know Jehoshaphat's kind of like America
And he's like he's buddy buddies with what's the guy's name in Yahoo, whatever
And in Netanyahu, a.k.a. Ahab, it's just like,
your people are like my people, you know?
Oy vey.
And, you know, Joseph has just like,
you know, they're our greatest ally.
We're gonna help Ahab.
We're definitely gonna help Ahab.
Syria doesn't stand a chance.
Because, you know, Ahab wanted to destroy Syria.
They wanted to take him over.
Syria needs to back down.
You know, they don't stand a chance.
And so they end up going to war.
And they had a prophet, okay, they had a prophet that told them like if you do you guys are going to die you guys are going to lose
So they go to war. Ahab dies in the war, thankfully
Because God did not like Ahab at all
But he liked Jehoshaphat and so Jehoshaphat escaped unscathed fortunately
But then a prophet goes to Jehoshaphat and tells them should a style help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord
And who's he talking about? He's talking about Ahab in Israel
And he says, therefore, wrath is upon thee from before the Lord.
So God came to Jehoshaphat and threatened him and said, I'm going to pour wrath upon you
because you aided Israel in their fight against Syria and they hate me.
Israel hates me.
That's what he's saying.
They don't love me and in fact they actually hate me and because you're helping them,
wrath is going to come upon you.
Now if that was true in the Old Testament, when the Jews were God's chosen people, when
How much truer is it today that we should not aid a nation that hates the Lord?
Pretty simple, right?
You are you learning something today?
Go to Ezekiel
Let's see here go to Ezekiel 37
Because I'm still we're still talking about Jewish fables here the land of Israel belongs to the Jews
And one thing you'll notice is that when you talk to these Christian Zionists they always move the go-posts
Constantly moving it. Like they're God-chosen people and then you show them they're not well the land belongs to them
And then you show them that it doesn't like well all Israel shall be saved though
It's like you know, no, they're not all gonna be saved you just prove every single one of them and did they just keep moving around
They just keep moving the argument, right?
And often when you bring up that the subject of the land not belonging to them, they'll talk about the restoration of Israel
because the Bible consistently and explicitly prophesies in the Old Testament
regarding the restoration of Israel and Judah.
That's a fact.
I mean, we just finished the book of Isaiah.
66 chapters and many of those chapters are dedicated to talking about the restoration of Israel.
We love the restoration of Israel.
We love the restoration of Judah.
It's a thing.
But what they are interpreting as is like now the restoration has already taken place as proof of the fact that they are now in the land
Okay, but that's not what the Bible is talking about and they'll often point to passages of scripture such as Ezekiel 37 to prove it
But let's read it look at Ezekiel 37
Now in Ezekiel, let me give you a purpose here in Ezekiel 37 is a really cool story
about Ezekiel having this vision of the valley of dry bones.
Have you guys read that?
You know, the valley of dry bones.
And then the Lord comes to Ezekiel,
he's like, can these bones live?
And he's like, Lord, thou knowest.
And then he tells Ezekiel, start preaching to the bones.
And, you know, then the wind comes and it goes into the bones
and they stand upright and then like, you know,
sinew and muscle comes upon them and skin comes upon them.
And it's just like this vast army that came back to life
because of the precession of God's word.
And obviously there's a lot of great applications to that,
but let me give you the main interpretation.
The interpretation is that Israel one day will be restored.
Judah one day will be restored.
You know, one day in 1948.
This vast army will rise
I'm kidding about that
Look at verse 11 that he said into me son of man these bones are the whole house of Israel
behold they say our bones are dried our hope is lost we are cut off from our
parts therefore prophesying saying to them does say the Lord God behold oh my
people listen to this I will open your graves and cause you to come out of your
graves and bring you into the land of Israel now this is a sunny morning
crowd what does that sound like to you someone tell me
resurrection. When is it that God is going to bring them back into the land
according to Ezekiel 37 at the resurrection? Because he's saying I'm
going to open up your graves, you're going to come out just as this vision was
and then I'm going to bring you back into the land. So according to the Bible the
restoration of Israel is the millennial reign.
When he brings them out and he puts them into the land and who are the ones that he's bringing out of the grave?
Everyone from the Old Testament
He says in verse 13 and he shall know that I am the Lord when I have opened your graves
Oh my people and brought you up out of your graves and shall put my spirit in you and you shall live
And I shall place you in your own land
Then shall you know that I the Lord have spoken it and performed it saith the Lord pretty pretty simple there
There's like no argument against that
That is literally a resurrection passage right there
Telling us explicitly that Israel will inherit the land rightfully
At the resurrection
So, you know these these squatters today in Israel, they don't belong there
They're not adherents to the old covenant even though they claim to be they don't even adhere to the old covenant by the way
at all
They are frauds
They're fake Jews
They're false prophets. They're haters of God
They're haters of Christianity
That's plain I mean, there's just no way around that whereas the Old Testament Israelites who believed on the Lord
They love the Lord, which is why the promises pertain to them
Why are Zionists so fixated on applying the principle to people who hate God and not enough to the Israel of the Bible?
Who died long time ago, and they were faithful to God
You're doing a disservice to the Israel of the Old Testament who actually put in the work kept the covenant
Obeyed the Sabbaths was under the law of Moses law of the Lord preach the word of God and died
And then it's just like oh, sorry actually the the land belongs to these Christ rejecters
No, it belongs to Ahab. No, it doesn't
The promises only apply to save the Israelites who have died it will resurrect in the last days and inherit the land
Okay, we're almost done here.
Let's see here.
Go to Romans chapter 11.
Romans 11.
Here's the last fable regarding Israel and that is that the end times tribulation is for the Jews.
Because people, you know, yeah, but God still has a plan for them.
All Israel shall be saved though.
And you know, often what I'll say is just like, okay.
I'll accept your answer as long as you're willing to concede to the previous points
that they're all fables, though.
They're not God's chosen people.
They don't own the land, okay?
They don't have an everlasting covenant.
Are you willing to concede?
Stop moving the goalposts.
Concede to that, and then we'll talk about this last point, okay?
And what they're referring to is that the seven-year period highlighted in the book
of Revelation is all tribulation, and it's only for the Jews, which is crazy.
Now why is it crazy well because Jews are only mentioned in the book of Revelation twice
You think about that only mentioned twice
right
2939 and they're both really negative mentions
first and foremost
Israel's mentioned collectively once in Revelation chapter 7 with the hundred and forty four thousand
But according to Revelation 14, compared to Revelation 7, they actually start off in heaven.
And then they come down.
So it's not 144,000 virgin Israelites or whatever
that get saved during the tribulation.
There's no indication in the Bible of that.
People just say that because they just,
that's what they hear.
And I think it's true.
And you know, people come to me all the time to like,
yeah, but what about the fact that, you know,
the Antichrist is going to do this, that and the other
to Israel and then Israel is gonna be,
I'm like, where's that verse in the Bible?
And they're like, you know, I just Googled it
and it's actually, yeah, you're right.
It doesn't exist.
They're like, man, where did I get that from?
Because they're kind of like trying to challenge me and I say where's the verse and they this is what they responded actually yeah
You're right. It's not in the Bible. That's weird
No, it's not weird. You just you just never looked
You just believe everything that people tell you
Jews only mentioned twice
Israel collectively is referred to in Revelation chapter 7 and if you want to describe Jerusalem the apex of Jerusalem
You know the major passage regarding the new Jerusalem is Revelation 21
Now look at Romans 11 and verse 25 it says for I would not brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery
Unless you'd be you should be wise in your own conceits that blindness and part has 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 to deliver and shall turn away on godliness from Jacob for this is my covenant unto them
Well, that shall take away their sins and as concerning the gospel
There are enemies for your sakes, but it's touching the election. They are beloved for the father's sake.
So verse 26 is like their last-ditch effort
to try to prove that the Jews are God's chosen people and they got as a plan for it because in the end they shall all be saved.
But here's the issue folks is that when you read Revelation chapter, excuse me, Romans chapter 11,
you'll clearly see that throughout the chapter the apostle Paul is making a distinction
between saved Israelites and non-saved Israelites and it's
Very clear and let me just spout off some some examples in Romans 11 without having to read throughout the whole thing
and in fact at the end of Romans 10 you see this too, so
Isaiah
Moses
Elijah
David and the Apostle Paul are all of Israel. Did you guys know that?
Right everything one of them. Let me say that again, Isaiah
Moses, the Apostle Paul, Elijah, and David, all of Israel.
Yet in this passage, all five of these guys are talking against Israel.
Isaiah is prophesying against Israel.
Moses is prophesying against Israel in Romans chapter 10.
Romans 11, the Apostle Paul is speaking against Israel.
Elijah says that he prays against Israel.
David prays the most impregnatory prayer against Israel.
He's like, let their back bend over all way.
Let them not be written with the righteous.
They're all of Israel.
So what's the indication here?
It's showing us that there's two types of Israel
in the Bible, those who are saved
and then those who are not.
Now that should come as no surprise
because Romans nine says what?
They are not all of Israel, which are of Israel.
Right?
And what Romans 11 is saying is that the true Israelites are what the Bible refers to as the remnant.
And look, folks, very important.
The Bible says this in Romans 11.
Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for, but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
So pray tell explain to me how is it that Israel can be the elect if it's literally saying that Israel did not obtain that which he sought for, but the elect did obtain it.
The only conclusion is that the elect and Israel are two different people and who are the elect those who who are Israelites who are saved
Right those who are of Israel that are not saved according to the Bible later on it says that they're broken off
Okay, so when the Apostle Paul is writing this
Please pay close attention when the Apostle Paul is writing this you have both groups in the land
right
During that time in Jerusalem, in Israel, you have both saved Israelites and non-saved Israelites in the land of Judah, okay?
So he's saying here that there's going to come a time where those unsaved Israelites are going to be removed and
at that point all
Israel shall be saved
because can you look at the Israel of the Apostle Paul's day and say that all Israel is saved?
No, because there are unsaved Israelites there.
Can we look at the nation of Israel now and say that they're all saved? Heck, no
There is more saved Israelites in Paul's day than there is now
So this has not yet taken place now
When will it happen when on when Jesus Christ returns because he's the deliverer that comes out of Zion and he turns away
ungodliness from Jacob which is referring to Israel
Now if you know your Bible prophecy, you know that when Jesus Christ comes to rule and reign
In Jerusalem at the millennial reign, he removes all unbelieving Jews from the land, at which
point it can be finally said that all Israel is saved because only saved Israelites inhabit
the millennial reign in Jerusalem, none else according to the Bible.
Now people get this verse confused in verse 28 because they're like, this is like their
last, last, last ditch effort, like okay, okay, okay, but they're still beloved though for
And this is what I say. No, they're not
You're you're misinterpreting the verse. Let's read it as concerned in the gospel
They are enemies for your sakes. Who are enemies the Israel who are not saved, right?
Look what it says, but as touching the election who are the election to save people
They are beloved for the father's sake
Because remember earlier in the chapter you have Israelites and then you have the election
Israel did not obtain that which you seek it for but the election half obtained that the rest were blinded
So verse 28 the enemies are those who are blinded and then the second half of the verse the election are those who are safe
So God is saying like the election those who are of Israel Paul, David, Isaiah, Moses, Elijah
You know all these you know Peter, James, John, they're beloved for the Father's sake
But as touching
The Israel who are enemies, they're the ones who are fighting against Christianity, they're the ones who are against Israel, or against Jesus Christ.
So this is again making that distinction. What's the point that I'm making here? The point that I'm making here is that go to Romans 10 and we're done.
The point that I'm making here is that there's a distinction between the two. And may I say that the percentage of the election who are of Israel has dwindled drastically since then.
Very few Jews who are saved not saying that there isn't any Jews because there are Jews that get saved
But even then sometimes it's kind of questionable
You know if they're just because you just kind of wonder because they start like bringing in their Judaism and their prayer shawls
And they want to refer to Jesus as rabbi and you know rabbi Paul and it's just like I don't know
Gospel you got going on there
It's kind of what the Apostle Paul said. They're like false brethren crept in unawares
Now what ultimately should our attitude be towards Jews? Well, first and foremost
Understand this these are Jewish fables
And if you didn't agree with me initially you cannot refute what I just said I challenge you I
Challenge you to refute what I just said right now. I challenge you to refute the scriptures that I just presented I
Challenge you to refute all the claims that I just made according to the Bible
You won't be able to do it because it's so clear cut in the Bible
They are Jewish fables that need to be rejected. They're vain babblings. Okay, but let me say this Jews do need to be saved
So we don't want to go to the opposite extreme and just become like these Hitler lovers or whatever
you know and and and just like you know just just hate Jews and stuff like that and
Obviously, I believe it's biblical to hate those who hate the Lord
But I don't believe every Jew hates the Lord
And here's a here's a good way to finish off the sermon. Look at Romans 10 verse 1
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.
Right? That's what we want.
So instead of blessing Israel and making sure they get the land, why don't you just pray that some of them get saved?
And it's simple.
And I'm not saying that we're going to start a ministry to reach Jews or Israel either.
That is a lost cause in a lot of ways.
I'm just saying don't be a respecter of people when you go and knock on a door and you see
an Israeli flag, go witness to the guy, you know, and get, you know, flush your system
of all the Jew jokes before you get to the door, okay, you know, get it all out of your
system before you get there and then preach the gospel to them.
You know, we don't want to hate them because some of them are receptive to the gospel,
very few, but they are receptive.
We're not going to take a mission trip to Israel, it's just not going to happen, okay?
You know, we're not going to send a missionary over there to get spat upon and all this other
stuff.
You know, we're just going to keep preaching the Gospel, but this stuff needs to be exposed
though.
Because the stuff that you see on the Internet is just absolutely absurd, wild and crazy
You know, boomers with their white lion
and the star of David is spray painted on the side
and there's a flag waving.
Or it's just like, you know, it's like,
you have this like little lion and it's Israel
and a bigger lion is just like God watching over Israel
or something like that.
This is corny, this is so corny.
Nothing biblical about these images.
Stop supporting Israel stop supporting all that warmongering that's going on over there and get a biblical view of what's going on here
Let's pray Father. We thank you so much for your word that helps us to dispel these Jewish fables Lord
And I pray you help us to renew our minds Lord obviously we as God's people here at this church
We believe we have the right position based upon the word of God, but I'm sure many
It just rubs them the wrong way, but I just prayed that their minds would be renewed that they would accept the truth
And recognize that we just looked at all the verses. There's no refuting them
and lean on into your own understanding in all our ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct our paths.
And I pray, Father God, that you bless us, Lord, as we bless Christians, as we bless churches, as we bless the Lord Jesus Christ.
Help us to continue to be a blessing to the families of all the earth through Jesus, Lord.
We love you. We thank you. Pray the sins in Jesus' name. Amen.
