Alright, it's great to be here, it's great to be back, and I like the way the building
looks without the wall, Jericho's wall has come down, and so it's more spacious isn't
it?
It's just that not everyone was just all cramped up, and so now hopefully we even outgrow this,
amen, and then we'll have to tear down that PA booth back there, and so I was at the March
in Zion conference this week, and I heard a lot of sermons against the Jews, and so
this sermon is basically a continuation of my sermon that I preached at March in Zion,
so you say, man when are the DVDs going to come out?
Well I don't know when the DVDs are going to come out, but you're going to get a taste
of it today, alright?
So look at Romans chapter 9 verse number 6, it says, not as though the word of God hath
taken none 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, for this is the word of promise, at
this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son, the title of the sermon this morning
is the sons of the devil versus the sons of God, the sons of the devil versus the sons
of God.
Now I'll clarify in the Bible, what does it mean when the Bible states the seed, okay?
Now seed is simply an offspring or a progeny of someone or something, and specifically
in this chapter, it's referring to the seed or the offspring of Abraham.
Now look at verse number 7, it says, neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they
all children.
Now that seems like a contradiction, but it's not, because in context he's referring to
the spiritual children, which let me just let you know right now that the spiritual
aspect of the Bible is far more important than the physical aspect, it's far more important
than the physical children or the people according to the flesh, what God emphasizes in the Bible
is the spiritual, in fact the Bible even says that they that worship him must worship him
in what, in flesh?
No, in spirit and in truth, not in flesh and lies, amen?
And it says there that they are the seed of Abraham, excuse me, neither because they are
the seed of Abraham are they all children.
Now go with me if you would to John chapter 8, John chapter 8.
Now there's a reason why the apostle Paul is stating this is because this is in reference
to the physical nation of Israel, those Jews according to the flesh, and you often see
that when it's referencing these people who are adhering to the religion of Judaism, he
always refers to them as Abraham's children according to the flesh.
Not according to the promise, but according to the flesh.
Why is that?
Well you don't have to turn it there, but in Matthew 3 verse 9, John the Baptist says
this, it says, and think not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham to our father,
for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
So what is he saying there?
Well the Pharisees were coming to be baptized of John the Baptist, but John the Baptist
wasn't going to baptize them, why?
Because they weren't saved.
The reason they were coming to John the Baptist was because they thought they were saved.
Why?
Because they were children of Abraham according to the flesh.
Now look at John 8, 33, 32, let's start with verse 32, it says, and ye shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free.
They answered him, we be Abraham's seed and were never in bondage to any man.
How sayest thou, ye shall be made free?
Skip down to verse 39.
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father.
Jesus saith unto him, if he were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Now what they're insinuating by stating that they're Abraham's seed or Abraham's children
is this matter of sinless perfection, okay?
Because what they're saying is, well we're saved, why?
Because we are from the lineage of Abraham, that's all we need to be saved.
Because obviously in order to get to heaven, you have to be sinless, right?
And you can't be sinless, right?
Unless you have kept the entire law.
Well that's why when we trust Christ as our savior, he imputes his righteousness unto
us.
Now our flesh is not saved, but our spirit is.
Whereas to these Christ-rejecting Jews, what's the problem with them?
Well they don't think that they need to be saved from believing in Christ, why?
Because they have Abraham as their father.
That's what they're trusting in in order to be saved.
Now look at verse 33.
They answered, and we be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man.
How sayest thou, ye shall be made free.
Now go to John chapter one.
Now Matthew is the book in the gospels that really just hits the Jews hard.
I mean almost in an indiscreet way, or excuse me, in a discrete way.
Through the parables you see that he's saying, you know, the children of the kingdom shall
be cast out into outer darkness, they shall be weeping and wailing in the gnashing of
teeth.
Now look at all these parables that it's in reference to the servant, but it's really
talking about the Jews.
But John, the book of John is the most insulting towards the Jews, if you think about it.
I mean John chapter eight is the most insulting chapter towards the Jews.
He's calling them children of the devil.
That's an insult.
He's like, you guys are a bunch of reprobates.
You guys are children of the devil.
And look, we think of John, he's just like the beloved John, you know.
And we use John to give that to brand new believers, you know.
It's the easiest to read, yet it's the most insulting gospel towards the Jews.
Look at John chapter one in verse number 11.
He came into his own and in his own received him not, but as many as received him, to them
gave you power to become the sons of God.
Now you ask this guy, Justin LeBlanc, which I don't recommend you do, he says, there you
go, you know.
He gives you the power to become the son of God, but you're not a son of God yet, you
know.
Not all Christians are the sons of God.
Obviously, you stopped reading, Justin.
Look what it says, even to them that believe on his name.
So he gave power to become the sons of God, even unto who?
To them who believe on his name.
And it says in verse 13, which were born not of blood, what does that mean?
Not of lineage.
You see, we're not Catholics who say, well, I'm Catholic because of my grandma, because
of my great-great-grandfather who was a Catholic.
That's not the way it works here.
It's not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
One pastor in the old IFB, I remember he made a profound statement and it's true.
He said, you know, God doesn't have grandchildren.
He only has children.
Why?
Because every single person in this world has to make a decision to trust Christ as
their savior.
And when that person trusts Christ as their savior, their descendants, their physical
descendants are not automatically saved just because they are saved.
They have to make the individual decision to be saved as well.
Why?
Because God doesn't have grandchildren.
It's not of blood.
They have to make the decision to believe on Christ.
So it says, which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of men, but of God.
So what does that tell us?
That tells us that it doesn't matter what race you are.
You know, it's not about race.
It's about grace.
Salvation by grace through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God,
not of works that any man should boast.
Tell that to the Jews today, you know, and you say, well, that's cliche.
You always say that.
Well, you know what?
I've talked to an actual rabbi in East Los Angeles or actually, I'm sorry, in Montebello,
the city where I live in.
This guy was a full blown rabbi, you know, dreadlock wearing yarmulke hat with a robe
and tassel and all.
And he was, he was Mexican too, believe it or not.
I knocked on his door and he like peeked out and he's, and I said, hey, I want to give
you an invitation to our, this is when I was at my old church and I had already believed
this and he says, no, thank you.
I said, okay, well, more important than church, I just want to ask you an important question.
Are you a hundred percent sure that if you die today, you go to heaven?
And he said, of course.
And I said, well, can I ask you how you know, because I got a covenant with God.
I was like, oh wow, this guy's a Jew, you know, because only a Jew would say that.
And I was like, well, you know, the Bible says actually someone completely different.
You had a couple of minutes and he goes, give me a second.
So he goes in his house, he comes back out and he gives me a yarmulke, you know, a little
skullcap and he gives it to him.
I was like, oh, thanks.
You know, I didn't put it in my pocket.
And I started giving him the gospel and he's like, I'm giving him the gospel and he's just
like, I appreciate it, but I don't, I don't believe it.
This is a fairytale.
He told me, he said it's a fable.
He goes that Jesus, he goes, I don't believe any of this.
He goes, I know you're sincere.
He told me, I know, you know, you're a nice guy, but this whole thing about Jesus being
born of a Virgin, that's a fairytale.
Okay.
He goes, we, he goes, what you need to do.
And I started going back to the Old Testament, by the way, people who say that you have to
just use the Old Testament to witness the Jews.
It's a fraud.
Okay.
Because they reject that too.
Because when I started giving him verses from the Old Testament, he goes, you need to put
that away and go to the Talmud.
That's what he told me.
You need to read the Talmud.
So what was he saying?
He said, I'm a blood.
That's how he's going to heaven.
And then, you know, I started talking to him and he said, you know, he, he was like, well,
look, let me just let you know.
He goes, I got nothing against you.
He said, we like Christians actually.
You know why?
Because they help us.
He's like, I like Trump.
He said, Trump's going to help us build a wall.
You know, he's going to help us build a temple.
He said, that's why we like him.
And you know, he goes, you guys, I mean, you guys think we're God's chosen people.
I was like, I don't think that.
And he was like, really?
And I was like, I said, yeah, I was like, with all due respect, because he was kind
to me.
I said, with all due respect, I'm more of a Jew than you are.
And he kind of looked at me like, what are you talking about?
And I quoted in Romans 2, 28 to 29.
And of course, he just, the scales were still there.
The veil is still there.
He can't understand it.
But I wanted to pick his brain just so I could tell this illustration years later, amen.
Go to Matthew chapter three.
But it's true.
They literally say that.
So this isn't just like a cliche.
This isn't, you know, oh, you're not a new eye of beers.
That's what you always say.
No, it's true.
They literally think that they're going to heaven based upon their so-called covenant
that they have, which they break.
And the Bible says in Hebrews eight, and I regard to them not say it the Lord.
So they break, they broke that covenant, the Bible tells us.
So what covenant are you talking about?
Because even the covenant referred to as the Old Testament, they broke that covenant.
So even if they were going to heaven based on, they broke it.
It's no longer valid.
And in fact, the Bible even tells us that it's vanishing away.
It's no longer valid.
Look at Matthew chapter three and verse seven, it says, but when he saw many of the Pharisees
and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, oh, generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee from the wrath to come now.
Why is he calling them a generation of vipers?
Well, gender is something that's generated is referred to as also the seed.
Well, what's a viper?
It's a snake.
Well, who is a serpent picturing in the Bible?
Satan.
So Jesus Christ got it right in John chapter eight, when he said that you're of your father,
the devil, spiritually speaking, you are of your father, the devil.
So based upon these scriptures, what does God say regarding the Jews according to the
flesh?
That first and foremost, they're not saved.
They don't really come from Abraham.
And they're actually come from the devil.
You're racist.
No, Jews are racist.
Jews hate the goyems.
Guess who the goyems are?
You.
Okay.
Go back to Romans nine.
Look at verse seven in Romans chapter nine, it says neither because they are the seed
of Abraham because to a certain extent, because they're Israelites, they were the seed of
Abraham.
But Paul is clarifying here, just because they're a physical seed of Abraham doesn't
mean they're actually children.
And 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 promise are counted for the seed.
Now this is the thing that I've heard most when I talk to someone who's on the contrary
of this doctrine, they'll say this, they're not saved, they're not children of God, but
you know what?
They're still God's chosen people.
There's a difference.
You can be a child of God, you're a child of God, but the Jews, they're God's chosen
people.
I'm not saying that they're his children, I'm just saying that they're his chosen people.
Well go to second Chronicles chapter seven.
And by the way, that's a stupid argument to say, well, you know, they're his people, they're
his children, they're not his children, but they are his people.
No, you're just trying to fit a square pagan to a round hole.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
Okay.
And in fact, you look at the Bible, we're going to look at some scriptures here.
The times that the Jews had the true God as their God was when they were being obedient
to his commandments.
When they're worshiping the true God in the Old Testament.
However, when they strayed from that and walked away from God, the Bible says that they're
worshiping the tabernacle of Moloch.
They took up their star of Renfam, that's the devil.
So can you say that someone who's worshiping the devil is God's chosen people?
That would be a large contradiction on your part.
Look at second Chronicles chapter seven and verse number 14.
The promise of being God's chosen people has always been conditional.
If my people says in verse 14, if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from
heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Oh, except for the Jews.
They got a free pass.
No, it says, if you want to be my people, right, if my people turn from their wicked
ways.
Now, what do we see today?
Do we see the Jews turning away from their wicked ways?
Do we see them as a nation turning back to God?
Well, you know, but anybody have, you know, they're worshiping the true God, they just
rejected the son.
Well, if you reject the son, you don't have the father.
They're one and the same as far as being God.
You can't say that you have God the father, but you reject the son.
It doesn't work that way.
Now go with me, if you would, to Exodus chapter 19, I'm going to read to you from Deuteronomy
chapter 14 and verse number one says, he are the children of the Lord, your God, he shall
not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead for thou art
and holy people unto the Lord thy God.
And the Lord had chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself above all the nations
that are upon the earth.
So here we see in Deuteronomy, he's calling them his children and he's calling them his
people.
Exodus 19, verse five, 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.
You see these Christian Zionists, they disregard Exodus 19, verse five.
Well, there's no condition, it says if, if you will obey my voice, if you will keep my
covenant, then you can be my people is what he's saying.
But what do we see today?
Do we see them obeying God's voice?
Do we see them obeying even the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, they completely
reject it, even in this matter of circumcision, they reject it.
Verse six, and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
These are the words which thou shall speak unto the children of Israel.
I don't understand why Christian Zionists completely disregard these verses and realize
to be God's people, whether Old or New Testament, it's conditional, you have to obey God.
He said, well, hold on a second, are you trying to say that the New Testament Christians have
to obey God?
Yeah, the commandment is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
That's how you can, that's how you obey God in the New Testament.
Okay, that's still God's commandment.
I believe you have to obey God to be saved.
What is that?
Believe on Christ and thou shalt be saved.
And it changed, obviously.
In the Old Testament, though they believed on God to be saved, as far as being God's
chosen people, that changed from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant.
Look at Deuteronomy 26, Deuteronomy 26.
You see, when people, they kind of like block out when you talk about replacement theology.
But if you read the New Testament, he specifically tells you that certain things were replaced.
The physical nation of Israel, as far as being God's chosen people, were replaced by the
spiritual nation, which is all believers.
That title was taken from them.
Deuteronomy 26 verse 17 says, thou hast avouch the Lord this day to be thy God, to walk in
his ways and to keep his statutes and his commandments and his judgments and to hearken
unto his voice.
And the Lord has avouch thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he had promised him
that thou shouldest keep all his commandments.
So what is the condition there?
You need to keep all these commandments if you're going to be a peculiar people.
You see, I believe that the Jews are God's chosen people, little Jews.
Because you know who's chosen them to create the most wicked, evil, inventors of evil things
in this world?
The devil.
So they're God's chosen people.
Little G, the God of this world who had blinded the minds of people all around the world.
That's his seed.
They're the generation of vipers who are responsible for these things.
The Bible tells us, go to Leviticus chapter 26, I'm going to read to you from Romans chapter
nine, verse 25 says, as he saith also in OC, I will call them my people, which were not
a people and her beloved, which was not beloved and it shall come to pass that in the place
where it will set into them, you're not my people.
There shall they be called the children of the living God.
So the Bible specifically tells us regarding the Gentiles, look, you are not my people,
but now you are.
Now you're my children.
And in fact, we are the peculiar people, according to first Peter chapter two, okay?
We are now, we've now replaced them in that manner.
Look at Leviticus 26 and verse number nine, for I will have respect unto you and make
you fruitful and multiply you and establish my covenant with you.
And he shall eat old store and bring forth the old because of the new.
And I set my tabernacle among you and my soul shall not abore you.
And I will walk among you and will be your God and you shall be my people.
Go to Hebrews chapter eight.
So we understand that God dwelt among them.
He set his tabernacle among them.
He wasn't going to hate them, but you know what?
That's if they were worshiping the true God, okay?
Hebrews eight verse 10, look what it says, for this is the covenant that will make with
the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind
and write them in their hearts and I will be to them a God and they shall be to me a
people and they shall not teach every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying
know the Lord for all shall know me from the least of the greatest.
But that's not what we see today.
The Jews don't know the Lord.
They don't keep the commandments.
They're not doing any of these things.
And yet they get a free pass of being God's chosen people, okay?
Look, the Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6, 16, and what agreement hath the temple
of God with idols?
So if they're God's chosen people, the true God, if they're his people, why does the Bible
tell us that what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
Because anybody can tell you that Jews are idolaters.
Old Testament, New Testament, they are idolaters.
And it says, for you are the temple of the living God, as God has said, I will dwell
in them and walk in them and I will be their God and they shall be my people.
Let me ask you a question.
Does God indwell the Jews?
No, the indwelling Holy Spirit is only reserved for those who are saved and whom he also trusted
after that he heard the word of truth, after that he believed ye were sealed with the Holy
Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchased possession, until the praise of his glory.
The Bible tells us grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed until the day
of redemption.
The Holy Spirit only is sealed within believers.
And that works in conjunction with this.
So hold on a second.
So who are the Jews sealed with, the devil?
Because look, in the Old Testament, you had the tabernacle and you have the temple, right?
And that was where the Spirit of God dwelt in.
That's where his presence was.
In the New Testament, the tabernacle is referred to as what?
Our body.
You know, Peter said when he puts off this tabernacle, and not only that, but the Bible
also tells us that the temple, our body is the temple of what?
The Holy Spirit.
Well, if you study the Old Testament, when the Jews would get away from worshiping the
true God, they would take up the tabernacle of Moloch, which is the devil.
So has anything changed in the New Testament?
No.
The New Testament is this, they are the tabernacle of Moloch.
Their body is the temple of the devil.
Okay?
The Bible tells us in Acts 7, verse 41, go there if you would.
We're going to look at that.
It's blasphemous to say that.
You know, to say that God indwells these wicked people, these people who worship the devil,
you know, and so where do people get this theology from?
They get it from Fox News.
You see, our theology is coming from the King James Version of the Bible.
They get it from Fox News Version of the Bible.
You know, their commentary is Sean Hannity, evangelist Sean Hannity, and Pastor Bill O'Reilly.
These Catholics, these Zionists, Catholics were not even saved.
That's where they get all their theology from.
They're not getting it from the Bible.
Why?
Because the Bible speaks very clearly on this subject.
Look, and anybody who says, you know, look, if you ever presented these verses to anybody
who's not, you know, who's a Zionist, and they're like, well, I just need to study that
more.
No, you don't.
It's right there.
This is not like a hard document to understand.
They're like, well, I just need to look into that more.
No, no, no.
What you're saying is you need more time to not be proud and humble enough to just believe
what the Bible says, to put your preconceived notions, ideas aside, and these false doctrines.
You have to basically humble yourself to recognize that you've been wrong.
That's what you need time for.
Don't lie.
And so I just need time to just study it out.
Well, just read Galatians 4, and that should do it.
Just read John 8, and that should do it.
Read Romans chapter 2, 28 to 29.
That should do it.
You know, I gave Romans 2, 28 to 29 to someone one time, and they say, well, that's referring
to the spiritual aspect.
Yeah, that's all that matters.
You think, I mean, do you think the flesh matters?
You think God really cares more about the flesh than he does the spirit?
This flesh is going to die.
It's going to perish.
This is contrary.
This cannot be subject unto the law of God, neither indeed can be, the Bible tells us.
So why are you emphasizing the flesh over the spirit?
God is saying, look, the true Jews are those who are inward Jews, not of the letter, but
of the spirit, whose praise is not of men, but of God.
You see, praise means that recognition.
God recognizes true Jews as those who are in the spirit, that circumcision of the heart,
not of the letter.
The letter's referring to the law.
Acts chapter 7 verse 41 says, and they made a cap in those days and offered sacrifice
unto the idol and rejoiced in the work of their own hands.
Then God turned and gave them up to worship the host of heaven.
As it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have you offered to
be slain beast and sacrifices by the space of 40 years in the wilderness?
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your God, Remphan, that's their
supposed David star, figures which he made to worship them.
And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
You know, a saved person should never, ever have the star of David anywhere near them.
Because the Bible tells us there that they are figures which he made to worship them.
Who are them?
Moloch, Remphan.
Well, I just want to pray for Israel.
First of all, you don't need a flag to pray for Israel.
Second of all, what are you praying when you pray for Israel?
I'm praying against them.
You see, I want to follow Elijah's example in Romans chapter 11.
How he maketh intercessions against Israel.
All you shouldn't do, you should, you know, God's going to, is Elijah cursed then or what?
I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse them.
So is Elijah cursed?
No, as far as, from what I remember, he was taken up in a whirlwind.
He was one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament.
And you know what the Bible says?
He made intercessions against Israel.
And not just him.
The Bible tells us that in Romans chapter 10, previous to Romans 11, talking about Elijah,
Isaiah did the same thing.
Moses did the same thing.
David, the sweet psalmist of Israel, the one who played the harp, okay, David, a man
after God's own heart, you know, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
As a harp panted after the brook, you know, so my harp panted, all these beautiful psalms.
Well, you might want to read the psalm where he talked about, let their names be blotted
out of the book of life and not be written with the righteous.
But no one wants to talk about that, do they?
No one wants to highlight that psalm from David, the sweet psalmist of Israel, how he
even prayed, God, please don't even let him get saved.
Please let them just go to hell, quick.
And look, in that psalm, he's specifically referring to those who rejected Jesus.
Because you look at the previous verses, it's a prophecy of Christ when he's hanging on
the cross and they gave him vinegar to drink.
And he said, let their back bend over always, let them not be written with the righteous,
let their house become a desolation, he's cursing the Jews, not cussing, he's cursing
the Jews.
He's like, don't even let them be saved, Lord.
You know what?
Because David is a man after God's own heart, God answered that prayer because he blinded
their eyes that they should not see, you know, he closed their ears that they should not
hear and they could be healed, the Bible tells us.
So throughout the Bible, we see this comparison of these two sons.
Now go with me to Exodus chapter 18.
So make no mistake, the Jews are the seed, but they're the seed according to the flesh.
And the problem we have today is people are emphasizing and think that the promise is
applied to the seed according to the flesh.
But that's not what the Bible is saying, it's the seed according to the promise, which is
Isaac.
But and we're going to get into Ishmael and Isaac in just a bit, that'll be the crux of
the message.
They are an allegory, an allegory is simply a symbolic narrative, that's what that is.
And it's funny because you go to Galatians 4, and I've heard people say this, they'll
say, well, you know, Galatians 4, it's not really an allegory, it says allegory.
The word is right there.
How do you just change the Bible like that and say, well, that's not really what God
meant.
You know, he put the wrong word there or something.
It says allegory.
And allegory is a symbolic narrative.
He's telling you, their lives are a figure.
We would use the phrase a shadow of things to come.
That's what that means.
But there are other figures in the Bible, we've talked about Saul and David, how King
Saul pictures the unsaved Jews and David pictures Christians.
How is that?
Because Saul disobeyed God, he disobeyed the word of the Lord.
And by the way, God gave him a lot of chances, didn't he?
Just like he gave the Jews a lot of chances.
And the Bible says that Samuel came to Saul and said, the kingdom of God shall be taken
from you and given to someone who is better than you.
Well, that is symbolic.
That was allegorical of the New Testament, where Jesus tells the Jews, the kingdom of
God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Now, what's interesting is that he tells Saul, I'm going to give it to someone who's better
than you, which in the New Testament, we're in the better covenant.
He's the mediator of a better covenant established upon better promises.
So we see throughout the Old Testament, a lot of pictures and figures of these two sons.
Here's an example right here in Exodus chapter 18, verse one, it says, when Jethro, the priest
of Midian, Moses' father-in-law heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel
and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law took Zeborah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back and
her two sons of which the name of the one was Gershom, for he said, I have been an alien
in a strange land.
And the name of the other was Eliezer, for the God of my father said he was mine help
and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.
So the second son we see there is Eliezer, you don't have to turn there, but in Exodus
12, verse 27, it says that he shall say, it is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover who
passed over the houses of the children of Israel and Egypt when he smote the Egyptians
and delivered our houses and the people bowed head and worship.
So we see the Eliezer is a picture of the Jews, why?
Because God delivered them out of Egypt from the hand of Pharaoh.
Now go with me to Ephesians chapter two, Ephesians chapter two, I'm going to read to you from
Hebrews chapter number eight in verse nine, where it says, not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them
out of the land of Egypt.
So Eliezer is a good picture of that.
Who's Gershom a picture of?
Well, remember he says that there are aliens in a strange land.
Look at Ephesians chapter two, verse 11, wherefore remember he's speaking to those at Ephesus
that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh who are called uncircumcision, but
that which is called a circumcision in the flesh made by hands, that at the time you
were without Christ being aliens from the Commonwealth of Israel and look strangers
from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
But now in Christ, Jesus, you sometimes were a far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Go with me, view it to Matthew chapter 21, Matthew chapter 21.
So throughout the Old Testament, we'll see sprinkles of doctrine, sprinkles of allegories
because remember the entire Old Testament is a figure of what's going to take place
in the New Testament, whether it's lives of literal people, or maybe it's the ordinances
that were established in the Old Testament that are no longer valid today.
These were all symbolic.
They were a shadow of things to come.
Look at Matthew 21 verse 28, it says here, but what think ye?
A certain man had two sons and he came to the first and said, son, go work today in
my vineyard.
He answered and said, I will not.
But afterward he repented and went, and he came to the second and said, likewise.
And he answered and said, I go, sir, and went not.
Whether of them twain did the will of his father, they said unto him the first.
Jesus saith unto them, barely I say unto you that the publicans and the harlots go into
the kingdom of God before you.
And look what it says in verse 32, for John came unto you in the way of righteousness
and ye believed him not.
But the publicans and the harlots believed him and ye, when he had seen it, repented
not afterwards that ye might believe him.
So in the Bible, two sons, specifically, obviously, Ishmael and Isaac is symbolic of unsaved Israel
and saved people.
Now often when you think of the first and the second, it's in reference to the first
referring to unsaved Israel because they came first.
The oracles of God were committed unto them first, according to Romans chapter three.
And then the second would be Christians.
But here we see it flipped around.
Why is that?
Because John came, and specifically he's referring to the fact that he came and they rejected
John the Baptist is what he was saying.
So the first son here is referring to John the Baptist.
But here's the thing, John the Baptist is saved.
He is the son of God.
Now it's interesting that in verse 30, in reference to the second son, it says, and
he came to the second and said, likewise, and he answered and said, I go, sir, and went
not.
If you read the Old Testament, you'll find times when God's people are being judged.
And the leader at that time, whether it's Moses or Joshua, they'll reiterate the law
of God to God's chosen people.
And they'll say, we're going to do it.
They're like, we will obey, whatsoever thou commandest us to do, we will do it.
And what did they do?
They didn't do it.
It's like, we will go, sir, and went not.
Okay?
And look, even in the Gospels, you see this example, where it's like, show us a sign.
But even though Jesus Christ resurrected from the grave, even though the sign of Jonas was
given unto them, the fact that he resurrected from the grave, they still did not believe.
In spite of the fact that he showed them the sign, which is the resurrection, that's the
only sign that they were going to get.
In spite of that, they still chose not to believe.
Okay?
Why?
Because their heart was hardened.
Now, let me see here.
Go with me if you would to, we're going to skip some things here.
Go to Galatians 4.
Let's just get into Galatians 4 here.
Now Galatians 4 is one of the most damning evidences of this fact that the Jews are not
God's chosen people, okay?
Look at Galatians 4, verse 21.
So I'm sorry, before we read into verse 21, let me give you a preface of what Galatians
is referring to, why it was written.
It's not a church, okay, Galatians is not a church, it's churches within the region
of Galatia.
And what was taking place here is that you had these Judaizers who were infiltrating
these churches, trying to bring them under the law of Moses again.
And in fact, hold your place there in Galatians chapter 4, let's go to Galatians 1.
What are Galatians 1?
So these Judaizers, you said, what's a Judaizer?
It's a false teacher who adheres to the religion of Judaism, who seeks to convert others to
that religion, okay?
You're like, well, what's wrong with that?
You know, they're trying to teach them about the true God.
No, the Bible tells them that they make them a twofold more a child of hell than themselves,
okay?
So when they go and proselytize and they compass land and sea to make one proselytize, they
make them twofold more a child of hell than themselves.
Now look at verse 6 of Galatians 1, it says, I marvel that you are so soon removed from
him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel, which is not another,
but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Now we read verses 6 and 7, and you know what?
We apply that to who?
The Jehovah's Witnesses.
And by the way, it's applicable, amen?
They're perverting the gospel.
We can refer to that as the morons of the Latter-day Saints.
And guess what?
That would be applicable.
We can apply that to the Catholics and these Pentecostals tongue flappers and any other
false religion, and that scripture would be applicable to them because they are perverting
the gospel.
But guess who this is originally written for?
The Jews.
You see, we use that verse a lot.
Pervert the gospel, another gospel, but originally when Paul wrote that, he had Judaism in mind.
You know what that tells me?
That Judaism is another gospel.
In fact, it's a perversion of the gospel.
And he writes that in chapter one because that's what they're dealing with.
In fact, in chapter two, we see that he says, false brethren, you know, that are creeping
in privily to spy out their liberty is who this is referring to.
So he's combating this in the book of Galatians and he's like, you know, he's like, I'm afraid
of you.
I stand in doubt of you because they're like observing days and months and all these things.
Now go back to Galatians four.
I know we're looking at a lot of scripture, but this is, this needs to be taught.
Amen.
And you're like, well, I already know this, where are you going to get it again?
Okay.
And there's some people who probably don't know all these scriptures yet, but if you
do know it, look, it's important that you hear it again and again and again.
I sat down with Pastor Anderson at the conference and we're talking about Bible reading.
And he said, you know, you can get to a point where you feel like you know the Bible a lot
and you just kind of have to discipline yourself to just read it, even though you think you
know it a lot, because this is what's going to happen if you stop reading the Bible, even
though you know the Bible.
He's like, you'll forget the Bible.
And little by little, God will begin to take knowledge away from you.
And I said, I know exactly what you're talking about because I've known people who I felt
like knew the Bible.
And within the last couple of years, it feels like they just sound stupid.
Like they no longer know the Bible.
You know why?
Because they stopped reading the Bible.
Because look, it's not like we're reading 66 other books other than the Bible.
We're reading the same 66 books over and over again.
But the reason for that is because if you don't read it, if you don't reiterate it,
if you don't repeat it, you will forget it.
Okay.
And that's what preaching is.
You know, preaching of the word of God is a manifestation of the word of God.
So when you hear the same thing over and over again, I'm doing it so you don't forget.
Right?
Now Galatians 4 verse 21 says, tell me, he that desire to be under the law, do you not
hear the law?
That reminds me of these hyper dipsticks that they're like, you know, well, this is what
the Bible says.
It's like, are you even reading what the Bible says?
Verse 22, for it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other
by a free woman.
And he who was of the bond woman was born after the flesh, but he of the free woman
was by promise.
Now who is he referring to?
He's referring to Isaac and Ishmael because Isaac was that child that God had promised
to Abraham and Sarah.
Ishmael was not promised.
Ishmael was a result of Sarah's lapse of faith.
She had a lapse of faith.
Isaac hadn't come and she took matters into her own hands.
She gave Hagar, her bond woman, into the bosom of Abraham and the result of that relationship
was Ishmael.
She basically just tried to make it happen.
And look, that's a perfect example of someone trying to work their way to salvation.
You know, God is promising us eternal life and someone taking matters into their own
hands and trying to get that promise by something other than God's promises and believing on
Christ.
Look at verse 24.
Which things are in allegory?
Highlight it, underline it.
For these are the two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai which generates the bondage, which
is Hagar.
For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia.
Now years ago when I first got saved, there's a pastor in Lemon Grove, California by the
name of Pastor Doug Fisher.
He pastors Lighthouse Baptist Church in Lemon Grove, California.
This guy is wicked.
He's wicked.
He's like, oh, here we go again, yeah, put on your seatbelt.
This guy's evil.
He has a faggot on his staff.
I'm talking about Mike Zachary, this pedophile who molests the children.
He has him working on staff, teaching a couple's class.
So this guy, I remember years ago, he preached a message, an entire message on Galatians
4.
And he spent this entire sermon on Galatians 4 saying, Ishmael is the Muslims.
He's like, Ishmael is the Muslims.
This is a prophecy of the Muslims because, you know, Ishmael is persecuting Isaac and
all these things.
Gee, I wonder where he got that from.
And he's like, it says it right there, for this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia.
You know those Arabians, those Arabs?
But here's the problem with these people when they study the Bible, they just stop reading.
Arabia!
It says, for this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and answerth to Jerusalem, which now is and
is in bondage with their children.
Now what does answerth mean?
Because it's very important that we understand what that word means in order to, you know,
decode what that verse is saying.
Well, the Bible tells us in Proverbs, as in water, face answerth to face.
So the heart of man to man.
So what does that mean?
When you go to water and you look into the water, what do you see?
A reflection.
So that word answerth means to reflect.
So let's read that again.
It says, for this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and answerth or reflects to Jerusalem, which
now is.
So he's saying Agar, who produced Ishmael, is a reflection of Jerusalem, which now is.
By the way, there was no Muslims at that time, Doug.
They weren't there.
This is referring to the Jews.
And the reason he says specifically Mount Sinai is because that's where the law was
received.
Okay.
And what were the Judaizers trying to do in Galatians?
They were trying to bring them back under the law.
That makes sense to everyone?
Pretty simple.
Verse 26, but Jerusalem, which is above, is free, which is the mother of us all.
That's referring to the new Jerusalem.
Well, who inherits the new Jerusalem?
All believers.
The Bible tells us in Genesis 16, you don't have to turn there.
Verse 11.
Okay.
So this is a verse that he used to say that this is the Muslims, right?
Verse, Genesis 16, verse 11 says, and the angel of the Lord said unto her, behold, thou
with child and shall bear a son and shall call his name Ishmael because the Lord has
heard thy affliction and he will be a wild man.
You know, the wild, chopping people's heads off.
His hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
There you go.
It's the Muslims.
He's wild.
Look at their beards.
It's wild.
Muslims have wild beards.
And he said his hand will be against every man, you know, because the Muslims, they're
just jihadting everyone.
They just want to jihad the whole world.
And every man's hand against him and he was like, that's a picture perfect of the Muslim
right there.
Now go to 1 Thessalonians chapter two.
No, Doug.
You're wrong.
That's not referring to the Muslim.
And look, let me just say, I hate Islam.
It's a wicked religion, you know, and you know, yeah, made by a pedophile.
I don't adhere to Islam at all.
I love Muslims because I want them to be saved.
And look, I've won Muslims.
I've won more Muslims to the Lord than I've won Jews.
I've never won one single Jew to the Lord.
Muslims have actually been more receptive toward the gospel than Jews are, big surprise.
So keep that in mind.
He says, there is a wild man, you know, they're crazy Muslims and they're jihad and their
hand is against every man.
Well, you might want to just stick to the narrative of the Bible.
Look what the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians two verse 14, for ye brethren became followers
of the churches of God, which in Judea are in Christ Jesus.
For ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews
who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and have persecuted us and they pleased
not God and are contrary to all men.
Let me translate that in the Hebrew.
His hand is against every man.
That's what that means.
It says, they're contrary to all men forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might
be saved to fill up their sins always for the wrath has come upon them to the utter
most.
He said, well, hold on a second.
But it says every man's hand against him.
Yeah, every man's hand has been against the Jews.
They've been kicked out of 109 countries.
They've been persecuted.
You know why?
Because they're wicked.
Every man's hand has been against them.
Why?
Because their hand has been against every man.
They're contrary to all men.
I don't know brother, it says that they're wild.
That frizzy looking beard, you know, and the jihad, go to Titus 1.
Let's stick to the narrative of the Bible, okay?
Not the narrative of Bill O'Reilly and Hannity and whoever other Fox News pervert says.
Let's just see what the Bible says.
Now I believe that Ishmael was probably a wild man, okay?
I think any man can be a wild man.
But what is the word, because remember, we're looking at it from an allegorical perspective
because that's what the Bible told us to do, which things are in allegory.
So what does wild mean?
It means out of control or unruly.
Look up the definition, that's what it means, okay?
So let's stick to the narrative of the Bible and see what Titus chapter 1 verse 10 says.
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the Muslims,
especially they of Islam, no, especially they of the circumcision, talking about the Jews,
whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought
not for filthy, lucre, sick.
Does it say they teach things which they ought not because they're trying to get people
saved?
Because they don't want people to go to hell, no, it's for money.
They do it for the money.
They're in it for the feria.
For those of you who don't know what that is, that's dough, okay?
That's their prime motive.
So when it says that he was a wild man, yeah, the New Testament says that too, says that
they're unruly and it's talking about the circumcision.
Now go back to Galatians 4.
So Doug, Mr. Fisher, you're wrong.
Ishmael is not the Muslims, okay?
And anybody who believes that, they need to turn off Fox News and turn off their talk
radio and just get into the Word of God and see what the Bible says.
Don't use Fox News as a commentary for the Bible, oh, but they have like values.
No, they don't.
Fox has some of the worst, wicked shows on there and you think just because they put
a conservative talk show just in smack dab in the middle of Fox News, it just all of
a sudden becomes holy?
Oh, but they're Judeo-Christian, they have Judeo-Christian principles, no, they don't.
Most of those guys always get caught for like sexual harassment, a bunch of perverts.
Look at Galatians 4, verse 24 says, which things are in Alawer for these are the two
covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which gender the bondage, which is Agar.
Now when it says that these are the two covenants, look, the Muslims, they don't have a covenant.
The Bible doesn't refer to them as having a covenant.
The covenant, the only covenant found in the Bible is the old and the new and that's it.
The old from Mount Sinai, which is the law and then the new, which was established when
Jesus Christ shed his blood.
You see, the old covenant was established when Moses sprinkled the blood on the book
and on the people and said, you know, he enjoined them unto the Lord.
That's what the Bible tells us.
The new covenant or the New Testament was when Christ died and he shed his blood.
That's when that was established.
Now let's see here, okay, now go to Jeremiah chapter 31, because this is important in regards
to the covenant.
And look, this is why it's unfruitful to try to win Jews to the Lord.
I've heard of people, I've heard of guys, pastors or whoever they are.
They literally have ministries dedicated to just reaching the Jews.
They will pay people to witness only to the Jews, to the Jew first, to the Jew first.
But it's not profitable at all.
And let me read to you why.
You don't have to turn there, but in Luke chapter five verse 37, it says, no man putteth
new wine into old bottles, else the new wine will burst the bottles and be spilled and
the bottle shall perish.
But new wine must be put into new bottles and both are preserved.
No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth the new.
Now this is a picture of old and New Testament.
That's what this is referring to.
So it says no man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth the new for he saith
the old is better.
So you know why it's unprofitable to try to win Jews to the Lord?
Because they think the old is better.
They think the old covenant is better.
But it's not.
Look what the Bible tells us in Jeremiah 31 verse 31, it says, behold, the days come saith
the Lord that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, with the house of Judah,
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 in husband unto them saith the Lord.
Now go to Hebrews chapter eight, Hebrews chapter eight.
So keep that in mind and I'll repeat it for you.
So Jeremiah 31 is talking about that new covenant that was to come and he's speaking to Israel
and he tells them that though they broke that covenant, although he was a husband unto them.
Okay, does everyone understand that?
Husband unto them.
They were his people.
He loved them.
He was a husband unto them.
Paul quotes this in Hebrews chapter eight.
Look what he says in verse number seven.
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for
the second for finding fault with them.
He said, behold, the days come saith the Lord when I will make a new covenant with the house
of Israel and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made with
their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of
Egypt because they continue not in my covenant and look what it says.
And I regarded them not saith the Lord.
So I regarded them not and I was a husband unto them are saying two completely different
things.
That makes sense to everyone?
You see that?
Now, James White, when Pastor Anderson interviewed James White, James White literally said this.
This is why he's such a devil.
James White said that Paul the apostle quoted the wrong manuscripts in Hebrews eight.
You know, we're talking about Paul who knew Hebrew.
He said he quoted the Greek manuscripts of the Old Testament.
That's why he said I regarded them not because, you know, in Jeremiah 31 and 32, it says he
was a husband unto them and in Hebrews chapter eight, he says he regarded them not.
He was just quoting the wrong one, basically saying the holy men of God did not speak,
you know, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
You know, that they weren't moved by the Holy Ghost, that they were inspired by God.
He literally said that he made a mistake there.
Now, is that the case?
Obviously not.
So what's going on here?
Why is it saying two different things?
I'll tell you why it's saying two different things.
Because in the Old Testament, God was a husband unto the nation of Israel.
But guess what?
In the new covenant, he doesn't regard them anymore.
Oh, but he's quoting.
Yeah, but something's changed though.
We're in the new covenant now.
And in fact, the theme of Hebrews eight is the new covenant, which is established upon
better promises.
So he quotes the entire thing and he says, oh, wait, but he's not a husband anymore.
Why?
Because he doesn't regard them any more.
They're cast away.
They're put aside.
They're no longer God's chosen people.
So look, this is Hebrews eight is the verse is my go to for people or KJV only pastors.
But I'll say this.
So Hebrews eight says he doesn't regard them, quote from Jeremiah 31 31, where he says that
he was a husband unto them.
Is that a contextual error?
Or is it teaching replacement theology?
You only have one or two choices.
Because if you say that it's wrong, you're saying that it's a contextual error, because
it's obviously saying two different things.
But if you agree that it's not a contextual error, then you have to agree that it's teaching
replacement theology, because he doesn't regard them anymore.
Now, let's get down to verse 13 in Hebrews.
It says in that he said the new covenant, he had made the first old.
Now that which decayed and waxed old is ready to vanish away.
That's referring to that old covenant.
Go back to Galatians chapter four.
I'm out of time.
We're just going to get one more point here.
So it's pretty clear, isn't it?
The Ishmael is not referring to the Muslims, okay?
It's referring to unsaved Jews.
And if you take it all in context of what Galatians is talking about, it's these false
brethren who have crept in unawares, okay?
Now verse 25 says, for this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answer it to Jerusalem,
which now is, and is in bondage with their children.
But Jerusalem, which is above, is free, which is the mother of us all.
Skip down to verse 30.
Nevertheless, what saith the scripture?
Cast out the bond woman and her son, for the son of the bond woman shall not be heir with
the son of the free woman.
So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bond woman, but of the free.
So why is he saying that?
Well, if you remember in the story of Ishmael and Isaac, Sarah tells Abraham, hey, cast
her out.
Cast out Hagar, cast out Ishmael, because he's not the heir.
And you read the entire story there in Genesis, where they cast him out.
And by the way, God helps Ishmael, right, afterwards.
He even says he's going to be a great people.
Why would God do that to the Muslims?
No, it's because he's referring to that actual person who end up coming later on in allegory
of New Testament spiritual truths.
Now go to John chapter 8.
Go to John chapter 8.
Look what it says in verse 32 of John chapter 8.
Jesus speaking to the Pharisees who are adherence to Judaism, he says in verse 32, he shall
know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
They answered him, we'll be Abraham's seed.
We're never in bondage to any man.
How sayest thou, ye shall be made free?
Jesus answered them, verily, verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever committed sin is
the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house forever, but the son abideth forever.
You know why?
Because Hagar was a servant.
Ishmael was a servant.
And you know what happened to Ishmael and Hagar?
They were cast out.
Who was the one who was allowed to stay?
Isaac.
So he's telling them, you're Ishmael.
The servant abideth not in the house forever, but the son, capital S, abideth forever.
Go to Matthew chapter 8.
You say, well, hold on a second.
So, you know, it says cast out the bond woman.
You know, does that mean like they're being cast out of the land?
Like they're not going to inherit, you know, the land of Israel?
Because that's what everyone's worried about, right?
They want them to get the land.
Where are they going to be cast out of?
Where are they going to put them?
I'm going to show you where God's going to cast Israel.
Look at Matthew chapter 8.
So Matthew chapter 8 is, Matthew chapter 8 verse, or the latter portion of Matthew chapter
8 is in reference to the centurion, okay, who was not a Jew.
He was a Roman centurion, okay?
And he basically believed on Christ, God saved, and look what it says in verse 32, or excuse
me, verse 10.
When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to them that followed verily.
I say to you, I have not found so great faith.
No, not in Israel.
It's like, man, this Roman believes more than people in Israel do.
I've not found faith like this, not even in Israel.
Verse 11, I say to you that many shall come from the east and west and shall sit down
with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the kingdom of heaven.
He's like, he's using this Roman centurion as an example, who's not of Israel.
And it's like, you know what, this is an example right here that many shall come from
the east and west, people who are not of Israel.
Verse 12, but the children of the kingdom shall be cast out, where?
Into outer darkness.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
So here's the thing is God does have a plan for Israel.
I believe God has a plan for them, going to cast them out into outer darkness.
Some shall be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
Where is that?
It's called the lake of fire.
That's where he's going to be.
That's where they're going to be cast out.
Look, if they're so concerned about having this piece of land, they're going to have
a giant ball of land called the lake of fire.
That's where they're going to go.
The Bible says in Matthew 25 verse 29, for unto everyone that hath shall be given, he
shall have abundance, but from him that hath not shall be taken away, even that which he
hath.
And cast thee the unprofitable servant into outer darkness.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
You see a lot of people get confused about the servant and the son.
That's what that's referring to right there.
And if you read the beginning portion of Galatians chapter four, that's exactly what it's talking
about.
So what's the sermon today?
The sermon is simply this.
Look, let's reinforce who are God's chosen people?
We are.
But not only that, we need to realize that, hey, when the Bible tells us it's an allegory,
we don't need to go to anybody else to figure out, hey, does that really mean allegory?
Yes, it really means allegory.
If it didn't, God would not have put that there.
And an allegory simply means it's a symbolic narrative of something else.
So when we see a shadow of things to come, a allegory, let's figure out according to
the narrative of the Bible, what it's trying to convey to us in the Bible.
Not take this as a literal, oh Ishmael, all his descendants became Muslims.
It's foolishness and folly to take that interpretation.
Okay?
No, Ishmael is not just unsaved Jews, it's just unsaved people just in general.
But specifically in context, it's talking about unsaved Jews.
And Isaac, right here, Isaac, right here.
Amen?
Fireheads, I have a word of prayer.
Follow me.
Thank you so much for the Bible.
And thank you for the many truths that are found therein.
Thank you for showing us that you love us and proving to the synagogue of Satan that
you love us.
And I pray God that you'd help us to continue to study, to read the Bible, and to find these
gems in your word, to recognize that we are privileged, we're thankful for this.
And obviously we understand that it's by mercy, it's by grace, it's by faith in Jesus Christ.
And bless the remainder of our afternoon in Jesus' name we pray, amen.
Amen.
